I Became a Progenitor Vampire Chapter 326: Battle of Greystone Fortress (Part 1) (5,400 words)
Lide stood on the wall named Greystone Fortress and looked into the distance, with a solemn expression, as if waiting for something to come.
The underground world is dimly lit, like being covered with a veil.
In the wetland in front of the Greystone Fortress, all the twisted plants that were half human have been removed by the army.
The black ground, like a rotting corpse, was filled with the smell of rotting plants, which made people nauseous.
The wind blew in from a distance, then whizzed away from the cave behind him, whispering like a demon whispering.
The graystone fortress where Li De is located is the main fort. The wall is 35 blades high and 15 blades thick, which is large enough to hold a large army of guards.
Every 30 blades or so, there is a 10-blade tower made of gray rock on the city wall. The tower is divided into three floors, and each floor has dense shooting holes. It seems that deadly arrows may be designed from inside at any time. The arrow is daunting.
Through the cracks, it is faintly visible that behind each shooting hole is a continuous crossbow designed and manufactured by the Institute of Magic Industry.
Most of these modified war machines are controlled by the warriors of the King's Blade. Orcs with rough hands do not like this kind of fine work. The blood bathing the enemy in the front line is the favorite of those warriors with violent personality. What to do.
The crossbow arrow with the thickness of the baby's arm is forged with fine gold from low mountains and hills. The recessed blood trough can increase the lethality and is very aerodynamic. The fine gold is easy to break but extremely sharp. Metal is the best item for forging arrows.
Because of the high price of fine gold, few people are willing to waste it.
But the City of Dawn, which has a rich ore of fine gold, is never stingy in this regard.
The grades of these adamantine arrows have reached perfection★, even the thick armored monsters can't hold them.
At this time, the castle tower was already full of these expensive crossbow arrows except for the passages where people walked.
In addition to Liannu, the caravan of slings behind the towering city wall is also surprising.
These catapults are painted with weird green symbols, and even switches and various creations are in the shape of pointed ears, revealing a strong goblin style.
The weird catapult is one size smaller than the normal catapult, and it is not a boulder mounted on the thrower, but alchemy bombs the size of a human head, similarly with green symbols and pointed ear pull rings.
Goblin catapults, this is the product of Grey Hill tribe goblins. Different from ordinary catapults, the only function of these goblin catapults is to throw their alchemy bombs.
The throwing distance of these three-bladed, 1.5-bladed reduced catapults has reached an astonishing 800 blades.
It's 300 blades farther than a normal catapult—though it's a lightweight alchemy bomb.
But the power of the alchemy bomb is not comparable to that of ordinary stones. These hundreds of goblin catapults are enough to make the enemy fearful.
This is the second line of defense for Greystone Fortress.
In addition, a total of twenty towers were built behind the walls of Greystone Fort.
These towers are exactly 10 blades higher than the city wall, and are staggered and separated from the towers on the city wall in a canine tooth.
These towers are the third line of defense for the Greystone Fortress.
The caster.
Each tower is stationed by a team of twenty spellcasters. These spellcasters can provide strong fire support for each section of the city wall, and these towers are portrayed with a magic circle, allowing the wizard to restore magic faster .
There are not only mages on these twenty towers, but also the more powerful and longer range Lienbows that accompany these casters.
These continuous crossbows with perfect quality ★★★ have a full range of 1500 blades, which is 300 blades longer than the 1200 blades of ordinary continuous crossbows, and the arrows are all perfect ★★★.
Even three towers in the core area each have an extraordinary level crossbow, and each is equipped with 20 equally extraordinary level crossbow arrows.
There is only one goal of these extraordinary reambows, which are expensive to manufacture. They hunt down those powerful monsters, and the target level is-level 15.
The fire point of the tower is composed of high-quality continuous crossbows and spellcasters, which can be said to be unsolvable.
Behind these three lines of defense, in addition to large open spaces and resting areas, is the entrance to the underground world.
The original narrow entrance has been widened and rebuilt, and now it has become a huge passage with a height of 20 blades and a width of 50 blades.
The distance of about 500 blades in this passage was originally a wide underground space with a thousand blades. The construction department re-widened it on this basis. At present, the length and width of this irregular underground space exceeds 1500 blades.
This huge space is used by Tibetan soldiers. During the eight months of Li De’s absence, the number of farms has been expanded to 10, and based on this, the number of magic word bats has also increased to 6,000.
4,000 of them are included in the Wings of Dawn, 2,000 of them have become magic knights with human soldiers, and the other 2,000 are wearing bomb-carrying armor that has been improved to the third version-Air Force III , Used as a bombing force.
At this time, the wings of dawn are all in place under Ollie's command. As long as Li De issues an order, these selected and devoured troops will smash the enemy with the most ruthless iron fist.
Beside the Tibetan Army Room, the Construction Department built a full 10 warehouses for storing materials with underground passages extending in all directions.
Food, weapons, armors, alchemy bombs, crossbow arrows, and other logistics materials are neatly arranged according to strict classification. These reserve materials are enough to consume 10 fortresses for a month.
Thanks to Li De’s emphasis on the underground world, he has been working hard to build these military installations in the city of Dawn during his absence for 8 months, otherwise he really can’t do it in just a few days. The preparation is so complete.
After three years of development, the current City of Dawn has already reserved a batch of talents that can be reused.
Especially the intelligence command center and the think tank, these two large staff organizations can often find very good solutions.
That’s why this amazing scene appeared before me.
"Under the crown, all the soldiers are ready."
The 18th-level orc king Karp stood behind Li De respectfully and reported that the huge lion head had been protected by a strong extraordinary helmet, only a pair of cold eyes was exposed.
The tone is deep and solemn.
"There are currently 20,000 orc warriors stationed in the underground world, 10,000 on the frontline, and 10,000 warriors in the cave as a supplement."
Li De's deep black eyes continued to look into the distance, and did not speak after nodding slightly.
He is waiting, waiting for the enemy to arrive.
The tactics implemented this time are not complicated, to lure cave spiders into attack, relying on the sharp edge of the graystone fortress to kill cave spiders to the greatest extent.
The early strategic goal is to kill the cave spider as much as possible, and to obtain enough death power for the buried place to hatch the bronze egg.
Of course, this is just the beginning of the plan, and his ultimate goal is to occupy the magic crystal vein.
However, the number of cave spiders occupying half of the plane is too terrifying. If it goes so recklessly, the consequences will be unpredictable.
The City of Dawn has not been able to crush cave spiders that use half a plane as their nest, especially if it is not clear how many high-level cave spiders the opponent has.
So the role of the Greystone Fortress is to lure the opponent's high-level combat power to attack, thereby hunting down those high-level cave spiders that may pose a huge threat to the army of the city of dawn, and attacking the magic crystal vein for the army of the city of dawn And prepare.
Cave spiders can quickly incubate ordinary spiders in batches, but high-level combat power above 15 is not so easy to grow.
The greatest role of Greystone Castle lies in Li De's eyes.
Once this plan is carried out, Greystone Fort will become a well-deserved meat grinder, and the two forces will face each other in the most direct way.
On one side is primitive and fierce, occupying half of the plane with countless cave spiders, and on the other side is the city of dawn, which is highly developed and possesses superb magic research capabilities and production capabilities.
The tip of the needle faces the wheat.
Suddenly, Li De seemed to be aware of something, and his eyes narrowed slightly.
A gray line appeared at the end of his vision, like a sandstorm sweeping from a distance, and the entire wetland was enveloped.
The wind in the air quietly brought a fishy smell that made people panic.
The cave spider is here.
The closer the line is to the Greystone Fortress, the stronger the stench. All the soldiers' expressions have become dignified at this time. The arms holding the long knives and shields are slowly tightening, and the muscles are as clear as steel. .
Particularly eye-catching is the mid-air ahead, a giant beast with a wingspan of 16 blades and steel armor flying freely before a sandstorm composed of countless cave spiders.
Castro, the newborn king, the behemoth in extraordinary armor, was the key figure in this seduction.
His~His~
After entering the distance of Thousand Blades, the screams of the cave spider's mouth that looked like a sharp knife piercing the glass began to echo in the air.
The orc warrior in the dwarf armor on the city wall only felt a strong pressure oncoming. Accompanied by the sound that chilled his back, everyone finally saw the gray line clearly.
Spiders, very huge spiders.
Although these newly transferred orc warriors had seen cave spiders who were arrested deliberately to introduce their weaknesses and tell them **** them before they were mobilized before the battle.
But seeing the magnificent scene of hundreds of thousands of giant spiders running and roaring on the ground, there is still a heartfelt shock.
At this moment, there are even human soldiers who have never been on the battlefield before feeling their hands trembling unconsciously. It is an instinctive reaction of the body, which is beyond control at all.
The graystone fortress was built on the edge of the underground world, and the wetland in front of it was the outer area of the silt swamp, and the ground was level.
When this wide-eyed land is full of hideous and terrifying cave spiders, the sense of shock brought by the senses is enough to shock people, even if a determined soldier sees this kind of scene, it will have a huge impact. Psychological pressure.
Especially the feeling that everyone can see this scene intuitively when standing on a high place.
The cave spiders are all crazy, screaming in their mouths, desperately chasing Castro.
As soon as the distance of Thousand Blades passed, Castro increased his speed fiercely, and a wave of air exploded directly behind him, and he flew at the supersonic speed to the wall in an instant.
Swipe~ At the moment when it flew over the city wall, this steel beast's body suddenly turned into a mini-bat.
Then instigated the bat wings and flew to Li De with two sharp claws carrying a broken dry eggshell.
The egg of the queen spider, the cause of the cave spider's rage.
Li De reached out to take the shattered and dried spider queen's egg, took a look at it, and threw it behind the city wall.
The vitality of the spider eggs has long been swallowed by the bronze eggs, and the only purpose of these eggshells is to anger the extraordinary ghost face spider queen.
Castro fluttered his wings and stopped on his shoulder, his tone a little distracted and excited.
"Master, I felt the breath of that extraordinary spider in the spider nest**..."
The way to lure cave spiders is so simple and rude. After the extraordinary spider lost all of its eggs, Castro went crazy the moment he approached the cave spider's nest with the eggshell.
"Everyone, get ready to fight."
Li De ignored Castro, looking at the cave spider that had entered the 500-blade range of the Greystone Fortress, his deep cold tone resounded through the fortress under the amplification of magical power.
"Goblin catapult, set it."
Li De is standing on the city wall above the city gate and commanding him. This is the core position of the entire city wall, and it is also a place to face the cave spiders.
As the military order was issued, the human soldier manipulating the goblin catapult behind the city wall immediately snapped the buckle, and the bowstring that was tight to the extreme in the wrist snapped violently.
In an instant, the bowstring burst out with immense power and threw the alchemy bomb that had been pulled open on the thrower.
Bang~hoo~
With the air-breaking sound alchemy bomb, it pulled out a high parabola and flew directly over the 35-blade-high city wall. After drawing a long arc in the air, it smashed into the turbulent ground with the sound of breaking air. Come to the center of the cave spider.
Boom~bang~bang~
Hundreds of alchemy bombs were thrown out in one round.
Boom~
It's like a thunder in the nine heavens, the heavens and the earth are collapsing, and huge sound waves burst on this broad ground.
Boom~
The first alchemy bomb was bombed in the densest place with spiders in the cave, and the fire was everywhere.
Hey~
Five or six cave spiders were directly torn apart by alchemy bombs, with strong corrosive green slime flowing out of the corpse, dripping onto the ground and making a sizzling sound.
This is not over yet, hula~ The shock wave after the explosion is like an invisible giant hand that directly lifts a dozen cave spiders around, and the sharp arthropods of the cave spiders are torn apart like straw.
The mucus dropped from the cave spider's wound instantly made the moist ground coo bubbling.
Boom~bang~bang~
The continuous explosion sounded like a giant hammer bombarding ants on the ground, and a large area was cleared as soon as the hammer fell.
The fierce momentum of the original fierce and uncountable cave spider was directly suppressed.
The scene looks like the scene of the ancient gods recorded on the church fresco, which is shocking.
But hundreds of alchemy bombs are far from destroying countless cave spiders, and the fish that slipped through the net became more and more crazy after the explosion.
Especially after approaching the greystone fortress and sensing the aura of the queen of spider eggs, it is even more daunting and fierce.
The green eyes are a little scarlet.
The killing intent is pervasive.
Regardless of the cost.
Crazy shock.
On the frontal battlefield, the first cave spider rushed under the wall of the Greystone Fortress. At this time, this head was covered with hairs, like a demon crawling out of hell, and went along the wall without hesitation. Climb up.
It wants to kill everyone ants!
But what surprised the murderous cave spider was that the rough-looking walls of Greystone Fort were so slippery that it couldn't climb it at all.
Even the fluffy arthropods can’t borrow.
Seeing this scene, Li De's mouth turned slightly. In order to prevent spiders from directly climbing the city walls, the Tower of Dawn Mage spent a huge amount of money on all walls to cure the second-ring magic.
The cave spider can climb on the rock wall mainly by relying on the fluff that has the adsorption effect on the arthropod. The greasy technique just restrains the opponent's characteristics.
Bang~ the bowstring rang in my ears.
A deadly arrow pierced the head of this cave spider from the city wall. This level 9 cave spider did not survive the city wall for three seconds.
The human archer has cold eyes at the moment.
After several expansions, the Blade of Kings now has an army of 3,000 people, which is excluding the 2,000 magic knights.
It is calculated that when the population breaks through the 100,000 mark in the winter, the human army of the King's Blade has reached 5,000.
1,000 of them were trained to become archers.
At this time, the Greystone Fortress, which can accommodate 3,000 people, has 500 archers.
When the enemy hasn't attacked the city wall, they will be the most indifferent hunters, hunting down all the enemies that come.
Woo~
With the sound of the horns behind him, the cave spider's offensive reached the first wave of climax.
The densely packed cave spiders rushed under the city wall and began to stack up and wanted to rely on a huge number to stack on the city wall.
Countless cave spiders are like tides sweeping across the sky, crazy and violent.
The 10 graystone fortresses are like reefs on the seashore, which seem to be tilted and collapsed at any time under the intrusion of strong winds and waves.
The orc warriors in full-length armor finally met with these monsters in the underground world.
The spear in his hand pierced crazily on the cave spiders who were lucky enough to climb the city wall. These underground monsters received the most fierce attack as soon as they exposed their heads.
The explosive power of the strong orc warrior can easily tear the body of these spiders, like stabs and kill a baby chicken. The cave spiders that cannot reach a certain number in a short period of time rush to the city wall are all to send food to the orc warriors.
At this time, the long hidden lines of defense finally opened fire.
First of all, the towers on the city wall, those arrows showing the hideous glow in the shooting hole burst out after the string of Lien Nu's bow was tightened.
Boom~
Huhu~
The deadly crossbow arrows are like the roar of the devil, and the dense cave spiders below do not need any aiming to be the best target.
Puff~Puff~
The sharp arrow forged with pure gold is like a sword of creation that tears open the world and prevents the cave spider from being ruthlessly pierced in front.
Nothing can hinder the penetration of the crossbow bolt.
A series of seven-headed cave spiders were blasted and exploded by the first crossbow arrow shot. The last crossbow arrow penetrated the head of a cave spider and plunged deeply into the ground. The crossbow arrow plunged into the ground and even the tail of the arrow could not be seen.
All the continuous crossbows of the 10 graystone fortresses fired almost at the same time. Thousands of crossbow arrows with the thickness of the wrists formed a rain of spears throwing together.
Puff~Puff~
The cave spider, which had already climbed under the city wall~IndoMTL.com~, almost completely blocked the ground, was instantly torn apart by the arrow rain.
The fragments of the residual limbs were scattered all over the ground, and the green blood flowed into a river.
A large number of dense cave spiders were emptied in an instant.
At least 5,000 cave spiders were killed in this round of Liannu's attack.
His~
However, the heavy loss did not make the cave spiders back down. Behind all the cave spiders, a scalp sound rang, and the cave spiders who were hesitantly raged again.
The difference from the last time is that the second batch of cave spiders has been mixed with a large number of level 10 ghost face spiders, and even Li De clearly senses that there are still uncountable number 15 ghost faces inside. Spider...
Woo~
At the same time, a rapid horn sounded in the graystone fortress. Looking at the denser cave spiders in front of him, all the soldiers were frightened, and the real war was about to begin...
