Elite Mages’ Academy Chapter 519: Siege (middle)
<>Genius remembers "→net." in one second, and provides you with wonderful novel reading.
Under the blazing white magic searchlight, the darkness was completely dissipated, but the scene in front of everyone shocked everyone. There are indeed a large number of armies under the city, but all they wear are the armor of the army of the Rose Kingdom, including the bright red Rose Banner.
"The Royal Guard! They are the Royal Guard!" The soldiers on the tower quickly recognized the identities of these people.
Liang Taibai said with a sullen face: "The Royal Guard is the last defense force of King Rose Capital. I told you earlier that the troops sent out to intercept are them. I didn't expect them to take refuge in the rebels so easily! Damn, front In the past few years, many equipment and weapons of this army have been bought from us!"
The Principality of Qiangwei itself is weak, so weapons and equipment are mostly imported from Dawning Academy. This is also a very important commercial channel for Dawning Academy, but if these equipment become enemies, it will be a bit bad.
Xiao Lin was silent. When the searchlight was about to move further away to see if the number of enemy troops was specific, he suddenly stopped and shouted: "Wait!"
Xiao Lin closed his eyes and seemed to be feeling something. Liang Taibai also seemed to see something, but he was not very sure, so he waited next to him, but his face looked stern.
A few minutes later, Xiao Lin opened his eyes and whispered in a somewhat inconceivable voice: "What a strong breath of death!"
"Is that so?" Liang Taibai's face is even more ugly. Only people who have learned the undead meditation will be more sensitive to the breath of death, so he was skeptical at first, but not very sure, but he also Did not ask in detail how Xiao Lin learned to meditate for the undead.
The breath of death can be everywhere, but it is very abnormal in such a strong place. Either countless bones have been buried in the land under the city, or this breath of death can only come from the army in front of you.
"Undead army!" Liang Taibai gritted his teeth and uttered the guess in his heart, but his voice was extremely low, and the other Qiangwei soldiers did not hear him.
……
The siege war finally kicked off in the next few minutes, but everyone is a little relieved that this army does not have the slightest siege machinery, and as the capital of a country, the city’s defense construction is the capital. It is still very reliable, the tall city walls, the deep and intertwined shooting ports perfectly protect the long-range attackers, the special spell booster, and the coverage of the firepower of various defensive towers.
Although the remaining city defense forces are older, their strength and speed and other attributes will gradually decline with age. They have lost the ability to charge and defend, but if it is just this kind of city defense, the requirements for physical strength and strength are limited. , On the contrary, the experience brought by their age advantage played a certain role.
The sound of the battle this night has never stopped. The roar of arrows and the explosion of magic have beaten the troops under the city that did not have enough siege equipment. It is a pity that the defensive manpower is really limited, and it is difficult to form a large enough firepower coverage, so the battle will be delayed longer, but the full-powered defensive tower, especially the magic defensive tower, is too lethal to these low-level undead. Big.
Every energy ball burning with flames was thrown into the dense crowd, and at least dozens of people were blown off on the spot, but what makes people a headache is that there is no pain and fear of the undead, unless they are completely destroyed Kill it, otherwise even if they lack arms or legs, they will continue to move forward, even crawling on the ground.
As the first ray of sunlight gradually rises from the horizon at dawn, the undead army desperately attacking seems to have received a new order, and suddenly retreats like a tide. After more than ten minutes, there are only piles left under the city. Unextinguished magical flames and countless stacked body limbs.
Cheers and shouts came from the top of the city. Every participating soldier hugged each other to celebrate the victory. Because the other party lacked siege equipment and enough long-range weapons, the battle that night caused casualties to the soldiers defending the city. Is minimal.
Xiao Lin and Liang Taibai watched on the tower not far away for the whole night. Although Xiao Lin wanted to help a little bit in the past, he was forbidden by Liang Taibai. This old ambassador could also tell that he was relying on city defense. It is difficult for the enemy to attack, at least not this night.
"Go back, you are tired too!" Liang Taibai said nothing.
On the way back to the embassy, Xiao Lin saw many Qiangwei soldiers posting notices everywhere, propagating the victory of last night, because earlier, the news of the siege had spread like wildfire, and in a short period of time. Spread to the whole city within a period of time, and then the whole city panicked as a matter of course.
"It seems that this king is still very courageous." Xiao Lin couldn't help but complimented ~IndoMTL.com~ Just after the defense battle was over, the king sent a large number of soldiers to appease, so they were on their way back. Although we can see crowds of riots everywhere, they are all in a personal form, and large-scale riots have not yet occurred.
The most taboo thing for defending the city is undoubtedly the internal riots, which will be more terrifying than the enemy. If the rioting crowd loses their minds and wants to open the city gates to escape, then the city is likely to collapse on its own.
"It would be great if it was maintained at this level in a week!" Liang Taibai said.
Xiao Lin sighed softly. He understood that last night’s victory was only short-lived. The low-level undead were still a little sensitive to sunlight, at least their fighting power was not as good as night, so their victory was only achieved by the enemy’s strategic retreat. of.
If the siege is not the undead, but the real rebels, they will actually have greater hopes of defending. They rely on the city defense to stick to it. As long as the army of the royal capital comes back to help, it will be flanked back and forth, plus no training. The fighting spirit of the rebels in the past is very low, and it is likely to be defeated by a touch.
Unfortunately, there is no if in the world. Even Xiao Lin, who has not taken any strategic command courses, can see it thoroughly. It is difficult for this city to defend because the Principality of Rose does not have any reinforcements.
After returning to the embassy, Xiao Lin fell asleep in a daze. He woke up three hours later and found that Liang Taibai was not asleep at all, but was discussing matters with several other people in the embassy. After Xiao Lin, he smiled and waved, and then a group of people entered the office.
The help at the embassy during this period made Xiao Lin and others gradually familiar with each other. After saying hello, they sat down unceremoniously, and then waited quietly, waiting for their decision. ) Book friends hurry up and pay attention!
