Game of the World Tree Chapter 682: Cannon fodder
www.lnmao.org, the fastest update to the latest chapters of the World Tree game!
The Red Maple Kingdom army under the city wall began to move, and the players on the city wall, as well as thousands of "militiamen" recruited through the efforts of the Heart of Nature Missionary Group, also stood behind the wall, preparing to fight.
The bed crossbow was pulled up, the muzzle of the magic crystal cannon was pointed outside the city wall, and the magic guns and bows were also aimed at the army outside the city, waiting only for the opponent to enter the range before launching an attack.
Yeye also raised the magic gun.
Although he is a warrior player and does not have abundant magic power, this does not prevent him from enjoying two guns while defending the city.
The wind whistled in my ears, as if the wind was picking up. The flags hanging high on the city wall were blowing, and the original BGM of medieval urban minor tunes in the game system also changed into an evocative music as the horn blew. The passionate "For the Glory of the Goddess" made Ye Ye feel that the entire small universe was about to burn.
At this moment, he felt like he was the protagonist of this world! He is the hero of this war!
He held the magic gun tightly, his cheeks flushed red with excitement, and he was also a little nervous.
Although his reason told him that this was a game, the shock of the army pressing into the situation and the real stimulation felt by his five senses still made his adrenaline surge.
And when he couldn't help but look at the side facing Hayate, he found that the old player was also excited.
"Brother Hayate, haven't you participated in several large-scale wars? You have also fought against Orc cities, are you still so excited?"
Yeye couldn't help but tease.
"Hey, it's different! This is a fight with humans. Compared with the human army, the armies and cities of other races are not at the same level at all. Don't you think... this is what a medieval war feels like!"
Facing the wind, he adjusted the height of the crossbow and replied.
After listening to his words, Yeye looked back subconsciously.
His eyes swept over the medieval cityscape of Augus City behind him, the Forze Tower standing proudly on the hill, the well-equipped Red Maple Kingdom army outside the city, and then He nodded with deep understanding.
Such a scene is really shocking, it really feels like being in a movie!
Thinking about this, he couldn't help but bring up the system and pressed the screenshot option.
While Ye Ye was frantically taking screenshots in the system, he heard a low curse coming from the side facing the wind:
"Huh, humans are humans, this NPC's IQ is infinitely higher than that of an orc."
Yeye was stunned for a moment, and then looked outside the city wall with his gaze facing Gale Bar. He saw that the Red Maple Kingdom army outside the city stopped before they could reach the shooting range of the city wall and the fortress.
Then, the army slowly changed its formation, and rows of soldiers pushed wooden barriers on wheels to leave the military formation and began to move towards the city.
Looking around, there are probably more than 5,000 people.
They hid behind the barriers and moved slowly towards the city wall.
"It's the archers! Wait until they get into range and attack! Aim the crossbow at those defensive vehicles and smash them into pieces!"
On the battlefield voice channel, Acan, the all-star commander of the city defense battle, shouted loudly.
Archer!
Yeye clenched the magic gun in his hand, took a deep breath, and was ready to attack.
The defense vehicles under the city moved slowly and finally entered the range of the bed crossbow.
At this moment, All-Star A-Chan’s roar sounded again in the voice channel:
"Bed Crossbow obeys orders - attack!"
With his order, nearly a hundred piercing sounds sounded on the city wall.
I saw huge spears and arrows flying out with the brilliance of skills.
Most of the shots missed, but a few hit the target.
I saw that the defense vehicles that were shot instantly fell apart, revealing the archers behind them.
But even if the defensive vehicle was destroyed, these archers did not retreat. Instead, they either withdrew behind other defensive vehicles, or spread out their formations with shields, and continued to advance.
Soon, they entered the range of the bow and arrow.
"They're in range! Attack!"
The player gives an order.
Hearing the instruction, Yeye took a deep breath and pulled the trigger of the magic gun.
For a moment, there was a roar on the city wall, and blue magic element bullets were shot towards the archers outside the city along with the rain of arrows.
After a round of attacks, hundreds of archers moving slowly outside the city fell instantly.
However, they still did not stop, but after continuing to move for a hundred steps, they finally stopped one after another and began to draw their bows towards the city wall to counterattack.
Thousands of elite imperial archers fired volleys, and the players on the city wall also received an astonishing rain of arrows.
"Shit! Find a shield! Or find a bunker! Hurry!"
Facing the strong wind, I was shocked.
Looking at the oncoming arrow rain, Ye Ye and Nana also hurriedly raised their shields.
The arrow flew down, and Ye Ye felt a heavy blow on the shield, which almost knocked him to the ground.
At this moment, he heard an exclamation from Facing the Wind:
"Shit! It's a stone bullet, Coconut Nana, hide now!"
Hearing the urgent voice of Facing the Wind, Ye Ye's heart was beating fast.
The hair all over his body suddenly stood up, as if he was being targeted by something terrifying, and a strong sense of crisis came to his mind...
That is one of his skills [Danger Prediction].
He didn't care to look up to see what was going on, and quickly picked up the girl next to him and jumped to the side.
Just after he jumped aside, there was a deafening loud noise in his ears, and a heat wave rushed towards him, bringing with it countless flying gravels.
Yeye looked at the place where he and Nana were standing just now, and saw that a huge stone bullet had caused a collapse there, the masonry was shattered, and the cracks on the wall extended far away...
Broken stones were everywhere, blazing flames were still burning, and choking black smoke shot straight into the sky.
Looking at this scene, Ye Ye's face couldn't help but turn pale. He couldn't imagine what would have happened if he and Nana hadn't escaped just now.
Although it is a game, although it can be resurrected, but... such a real scene has an absolute impact on people's soul.
Even though he has gradually become familiar with the rhythm and blood of "Elf Kingdom" in battle after battle, at this moment, Ye Ye still feels that his throat is dry.
"It's a trebuchet! They used a trebuchet! Fuck, where's the magical defense barrier? What did the guild do?!"
Facing the wind, he cursed.
Not long after he finished cursing, another series of exclamations came from all over the city wall.
Yeye raised his head, and then saw streaks of burning "meteorites" trailing black smoke appearing in the sky.
Those meteorites drew a curved arc in the sky and hit Augus City.
In Yeye's shocked eyes, he saw these "falls" falling into various places in the city, easily smashing the houses into pieces and causing raging fires...
On the city wall, you can see the panicked citizens in the city, hear the screams of the human NPCs, hear the crying of children and the screaming of women...
Arrows continued to pour in from outside the city wall. From time to time, players and militiamen who were unfortunate enough to be hit by arrows could be seen falling. However, the bodies of the former would slowly disappear, while the bodies of the latter would fall into a pool of blood. There was no more movement.
Yeye even saw a few silver bosses who usually played around with Warcraft in the wild. At this moment, they were easily hit in the vitals by a few bows and arrows shooting from an unknown direction outside the city. die.
To make matters worse, unfortunately, he was directly hit by a "meteorite" falling from the sky. After the huge roar, not even a trace of blood could be seen.
The smell of blood and burnt smell irritated his nostrils. Yeye shivered coldly and stretched out his hand to wipe the cold sweat that had appeared on his head at some point.
He looked at the players on the city wall who were constantly shooting towards the outside of the city, and then looked through the shooting holes at the densely packed gray soldiers outside the city, and let out a deep breath...
At this moment, his hands were shaking.
Although he was looking forward to this carnival before the war started, when the war actually came, Ye Ye realized that when a game is real enough to be fake and real... the shock it brings is far beyond what a few words can describe. of.
At this moment, he felt that he was actually quite small.
In this war, no matter how powerful the player is, he is just an insignificant soldier.
At this moment, accompanied by bursts of cheers, Yeye saw a golden light pillar suddenly rising into the sky in the direction of Fortress...
The beam of light shot up into the sky, spread rapidly around, and finally turned into a pale golden defensive shield.
The defensive shield covered the entire city, leaving only a gap less than three meters high in the vertical direction of the city wall.
The whistling sound came, and several meteorites with billowing smoke fell, but this time, they only hit the defensive cover, causing ripples in circles...
Then, under the golden light, those meteorites turned into ashes and disappeared.
"Hahaha! The magical defense barrier has been activated. I see how arrogant their trebuchets are! Hahaha!"
On the side, there was a loud laugh facing the wind.
The warrior player looked up at the sky, then looked at Ye Ye who seemed to have not recovered yet, and patted his shoulder:
"Why are you dazed! Come on, fight! It's your first time fighting such a battle. You won't be used to it, but you'll get used to it in a while!"
After hearing what Facing the Wind said, Ye Ye nodded.
He took a few deep breaths, adjusted his condition, then picked up the magic gun again and joined the battle.
With the protection of the magical defensive barrier, the players on the city wall felt a lot more calm.
Although the arrows from both sides are still intertwined like rain, there is no need to worry about something suddenly hitting the top of the head.
Yeye fired randomly at the city wall, but he didn't kill anyone. He regretted that he didn't have the [Heart Arrow] skill.
Gradually, after discovering that the trebuchets could no longer cause damage to the city wall, the Red Maple army outside the city also changed again.
The horn sounded again, and the military formation changed again.
The swarming Red Maple soldiers separated from the army, carried the ladders used for siege, and began to move in the direction of Augus City.
"Hey, are you going to attack by force? There's not even a siege tower? Coconut, pay attention, the next step is the best time to harvest experience points!"
Facing the wind, the man on the side smiled.
Yeye nodded, took out a bottle of magic potion from his arms and drank it in one gulp to replenish the magic, then raised the magic gun again.
Outside the city wall, the red maple soldiers attacking the city were very fast.
They seemed to be going crazy, shouting and rushing towards the city wall.
The players' elemental bullets and arrows fell like raindrops, and the soldiers fell like wheat, but even so, they still did not stop.
However, when these soldiers from the Red Maple Kingdom approached the city wall, Ye Ye frowned slightly.
The equipment of these siege soldiers seems to be much worse than that of the archers just now.
Many of them did not even wear armor, but wore some black, white, and gray coarse cloth robes, simple hoods and white turbans on their heads, and only had a weapon in their hands.
"Is this cannon fodder? Light infantry?"
Yeye frowned.
"Huh? Does the human army also have cannon fodder troops to attack the city? Doesn't the intelligence say that they are all heavily armored troops attacking the city?"
Facing the wind, those on the side were also stunned.
The world of Segas is dominated by extraordinary power. Even on the battlefield, professionals are definitely the main force among the main forces.
Except for some intelligent races who will use servants such as Goblins as cannon fodder for sieges, most races actually prefer to use extraordinary beings wearing heavy armor when attacking cities.
Especially humans.
The human Holy Mania Empire is best at heavy armor + siege towers.
This is also the homework that the players have done in advance, and they have even been prepared for a **** battle on the city wall.
At this moment, looking at these poorly equipped soldiers outside the city wall is a bit unexpected.
However, despite their poor equipment, the morale of these soldiers was strangely high.
They seemed to have completely forgotten about life and death. Even if they fell while charging, no one retreated.
There are too many of them...
Groups were killed in battle, but there were always more soldiers to replenish them from behind.
Finally... braving the players' arrows and magic, these crazy soldiers rushed under the city wall.
They put the ladder on the city wall and began to climb up from the bottom.
"Coconut, get ready to fight!"
Facing the blast reminded me.
Yeye nodded, put away the magic gun, and drew out his long sword.
The first batch of Red Maple soldiers quickly climbed onto the city wall and started fighting with the players.
And Yeye also met a short, thin and red maple soldier wearing a white turban.
The soldier held up a short sword and rushed toward Ye Ye with a roar.
Yeye's eyes flashed and he thrust out the long sword in his hand.
What shocked him was that, with just a tentative attack, he easily pierced the soldier's chest with the sword...
Not an extraordinary person!
Such an idea suddenly appeared in Yeye's mind.
A gust of slightly cold wind blew over and blew the soldier's turban off.
In Yeye's shocked gaze, a wrinkled face appeared.
That is the face of an old man.
And, she’s still a woman.
This is an old woman.
She looked at Ye Ye with a trace of fear, a trace of despair, a trace of madness, and a trace of relief...
She coughed twice and then turned into ashes.
Only Yeye, who was holding the long sword, stayed where he was.
It was not the light infantry who attacked the city.
Them,
They are civilians.
