Elite Mages’ Academy Chapter 242: The beginning of the battle (3)

The spell defense tower is actually more accurately called the spell energy-concentrating launcher. The entire tower is constructed using a magical device. The wizards only need to output their own mental power to activate the magical device, and then send it out. Fixed spell attack.

High-end defensive towers can be equipped with powerful magical devices, but unfortunately because of the rush of time, it is impossible for them to build better defensive towers. Even these rather simple defensive towers are already architects. Our limit speed.

Xiao Lin gently stroked the inky black shiny metal. This is the magic guide device. The so-called magic guide can be interpreted as the use of magic energy as a guide force. Specific related courses will not be offered until the junior year. Now Xiao Lin doesn't need to know the principle, he just needs to know how to operate it.

The specific operation actually received special assault training at the architect’s two days ago. The operation method is not difficult. Xiao Lin pressed his hands on the smooth metal plates on both sides of the platform, and after a burst of light flashed, like The magic device of the iron box began to become brighter and hotter quickly.

The launch port of the magical device is also very peculiar. It is not like a barrel, but a flat and slender silver metal piece. The inside of the magical device changes quickly, and this piece of metal changes almost in the blink of an eye. It was red, and the color was getting darker and dazzling. Then Xiao Lin only felt the hands holding the metal plate tremble, and then an astonishing wave of air sprayed out from behind the launch pad.

If the top of the defensive tower were not sealed, Xiao Lin would have to be rushed out directly by the air wave, and then he couldn't help but remember that Captain Yu, the architect, seemed to remind them, because they had to be in a hurry and had magical defense. In the process of building the tower, some insignificant things were omitted, such as buffer devices and so on.

After the metal sheet of the launching port shines with enough brightness, the crimson light beam lasses out. Like a laser, it exploded directly in the orc infantry formation.

At least four or five orcs were blown into mash on the spot, and their flesh and blood flew all over the place. Even unable to distinguish between hands and feet, their thick-looking armor was as fragile as paper under the attack of the magic tower.

The power of the magic tower scared the freshmen who had never seen it before. Then there was enough curiosity that more people stepped out of the fortress and boarded the defensive tower one after another.

However, the number of magic defense towers is still very small, accounting for less than one-fifth of all defense towers, and more of them are arrow towers, which are equipped with large-scale crossbows or continuous crossbows. The attack tower of the launcher is much less powerful than the magic tower, and the attack range is also very small.

However, the attack speed of the tower is very objective. Relatively speaking, the power of the magic tower is huge, and the operation is really cumbersome. After each launch, the metal piece of the launching port needs to be replaced. The architect Captain Yu and them said that on this kind of low-level magic tower, the metal piece is a consumption. The product has to be replaced once it is launched, otherwise it will be overloaded and overheated, and there is a high probability that the tower will be destroyed and killed the next time it is launched.

Xiao Lin didn't dare to take this risk. After the launch, he quickly got up and performed the replacement operation. It was his first time to operate, not to mention the clumsy technique, and the piece of metal that was just launched was still extremely hot. Even if clear water is prepared on the defensive tower, it is still quite troublesome to replace each time.

After Xiao Lin took the lead, other defensive towers first joined the ranks of attack. The operation of the large-scale crossbow of the arrow tower is much simpler. The huge arrows continue to pierce through the air, and all the crossbows are operated. Students who take the bow and arrow course have a much higher hit rate than others, but the large-scale crossbow also has a very inconvenient point, that is, it turns very slowly. Fortunately, the front line stretched very long after the orcs launched their formation, and many times they did not need to turn.

To a certain extent, the dense arrows make up for the disadvantage of insufficient single-body lethality. Because a large number of large arrows that can be used for crossbows were found in the ordnance equipment in the warehouse, they did not need to have any idea of ​​economical use.

Although there is a long interval between attacks on the magic tower. But the destructive power of each attack is quite amazing. The attacks of these magic towers are mainly fire energy, and the incidental burning effect is very effective on the grassy plains. The spreading flames will also hinder the orcs' advancement speed.

The people standing on the fortress were not idle either. Everyone was mobilized to attack with all long-range weapons. It doesn’t matter if you haven’t taken an arrow course. The most basic bow and arrow will always be taught. As for the ability to shoot What's in it doesn't matter at all. There are thousands of orc infantry, and it looks like the mountains and the fields are covered with brown. Shooting arrows at the pile of people, there will always be people with short eyes who will be very unlucky to hit a few arrows.

The orc infantry was also crazy. At least when Xiao Lin witnessed it, several orcs had arrows in their bodies, even one arm was blown away, and they were still howling and charging toward the hillside desperately.

From the battle scene, Xiao Lin and the others did suppress the orcs throughout the entire process. Although the wolf cavalry used their bodies to pave all the traps on the way~IndoMTL.com~, the subsequent orc infantry did not seem to have expected them. Will be attacked so intensively, or it should be said that the orcs did not expect Xiao Lin and the others to erect so many defensive towers in just a few days.

Dawn Academy is undoubtedly fully prepared for this landing operation. The architects who came with the ship are almost all Dawn’s elites. On the one hand, they were ordered to build the resurrection tower, and in order to hold the fortress, they also I don't mind to allocate some energy to build the defensive tower, and the other students are well aware of the difficulty and importance of this monthly exam. No matter how they complain, no one is really lazy when helping with the construction.

Undoubtedly, the orcs may have expected the landing operation of the Dawn Academy, but they did not expect to be so fiercely resisted. They are indeed very fierce. The orcs' charge almost did not stop for a moment throughout the afternoon, wave after wave They continued to launch offensives like a tide, and they had no idea how many corpses had been left behind on the road.

Xiao Lin can’t remember how many times he has replaced the metal plates. Anyway, the water used for cooling in the tower has long been used up by him. When the fighting was more intense, he couldn’t go back to fetch water. Then he thought I learned the spell Water Shield before my monthly exam.

This spell uses a water shield condensed by the water element for a short-term defense, but the use of the water shield to cool the launching metal sheet is more versatile, and the water shield can last for several minutes if it is not attacked, which means Xiao Lin can even use it two or three times in a row.
