Chapter 417
"The crossbowmen are ready--! The ballista and catapult are ready--! One minute! In one minute, I want all Legion soldiers to stand by in front of me--!"
The cold wind is icy, the bell-like roar of Ernsthorn echoes, and the sword edge is standing up like a banner on the city wall for a long time: "For the glory of Sackland!"
"For the glory of Sackland——————!!!"
The loud shouts resounded above the fortress, and fully armed soldiers glared everywhere. With eyes open, blades and swords unsheathing, silhouettes lined up in an orderly manner.
As the most critical northern city wall of the fortress of Broken Edge Mountain, it has the strongest defense in the entire fortress system-not only the top of each tower has a fixed heavy projectile ballista, the city wall also The two broad ladder-shaped gentle slopes can be used to transport any required ordnance equipment to the city wall with the help of the pulley system through the track paved on it.
Not only that, the gentle slope of the boulder-built city can also be used as a load-bearing wall to share the load for the city wall; once the city gate is breached, it can also use the protection and track system on both sides to block the gate and leave it full The barrel of asphalt and ignitant blasted the enemy into the sky.
Under the strong fortress and strict protection, the fortress of Broken Boundary Mountain can withstand the army of monsters several times or even dozens of times with a small number of recruits, even sticking to one day and one night without losing.
Hundreds of Legion soldiers lined up in an orderly line, densely packed standing behind the gate of the fortress; engineers and crossbowmen squatted halfway behind the crenellations of the city wall and ignited the ones beside them. Torch waited for orders, his expressions varied; either he regarded death as home, or his pupils were dilated, or desperately resisted the urge to vomit...
The real Legion veterans were taken away by Connold and stayed. They are only a group of half-old children who have not experienced war.
"They are just outside, just outside our city wall——!"
The roaring Ernst pointed to the dark and crushed piece in the distance, looking towards the soldier with a firm expression They: "But I'm not afraid of them, we don't need to be afraid of them, because yesterday we have defeated them once!"
"Thirteen generations, hundreds of years, invaded time after time, time after time All fell under this north city wall!"
"So it is them that should be afraid of, not us!" Middle-aged Knight's eyes swept across the faces: "And Today we will be the same as yesterday—His Royal Highness Connold Dessalion will come back at any time, what shall we give him when he returns?!"
"Victory————— —!!!"
"So what are you waiting for?!" Ernst Drecis stared at the "grey wave" that surged like a tide, and waved vigorously. Sword:
"Crush them--!"
The carrion demons who howled like ice cracks are arranged in a neat formation, densely packed like a square Legion. The city wall pushed forward, shaking the frozen land buried by snow, this ancient and desolate land.
A dazzling arc suddenly rises on the city wall; the next moment, the sky of fire and burning stone cannons dye the sky into a golden red, like a violent wind sweeping the realm, falling from the sky——!
The dull rumbling sound, the flying snowflakes, the bursting firelight, the screaming arrow flying...The endless "gray wave" is constantly being blown into pieces of blank space after another, roaring The carrion demons fell one by one.
Not aiming, not even looking-the hysterical crossbowmen and engineers just tried their best to pour arrows, stone cannons and fire oil on the monsters' heads.
But it's not enough, it's far from enough...Just like this, it can't even stop them from moving forward, at most it can only buy a little time for themselves.
There must be decisive power, even if it is only able to interrupt the rhythm of their offensive. The last defensive battle has caused heavy casualties to the remaining veterans in the fortress. Once the carrion surges On the city wall, just relying on these recruits is definitely a one-sided slaughter!
"The shaft turns for two and a half weeks, the chassis is turned to the left, the bracket is raised, fixed, loaded and launched!"
An inexplicable and familiar voice suddenly came from the top of the tower. I haven't waited yet. The middle-aged Knight turned his head, and a flame had flown from the top of the tower.
"Boom——!!!"
The fire of golden red splashed in the "gray wave"-different from other stone cannons thrown by the engineers indiscriminately. Landed steadily in the center!
Turning back suddenly, the unhappy and angry Ernst Deresis stared wide-eyed, rushed to the tower moved towards the silhouette and roared angrily:
"His Excellency Ain Rand, what on earth are you doing?!"
"Do what I can!" The little wizard who didn't shrink back stared back, his sapphire-like pupils exuding resolute brilliance:
"They can't break this fortress, as long as we fight together—isn’t this what you said?!"
"I didn’t say this, and this It’s nothing to do with you!" The middle-aged Knight growled: "His Royal Highness Connold vowed to protect your safety, and I will do it!"
"If the fortress of Broken Boundary Mountain falls to you I can't do it!" Ai Yin still didn't mean to give in, and confronted the middle-aged Knight head-on.
"Boundary Mountain Fortress will never fall!"
"The premise is that you have enough troops-the engineers and archers here are all inexperienced recruits, and I As an alchemist, calculating range is my specialty!"
Speaking, the proud little wizard also raised his chin: "even more how I am still a Lothar, you Can you find someone who knows archery better than the Lothars?!"
"By the way, the deputy commander of the fortress, His Excellency Ernst Dresis, you sent to monitor my two The Legion soldier voluntarily released me—because even if the two of them go together, they are not my alchemist’s opponent!"
The speechless middle-aged Knight froze in place, watching subconsciously. I glanced around and found that the engineers were also stunned, looking at him as if frightened.
"What are you waiting for, are you waiting for those monsters to climb up the city wall and tear us to pieces?!" Ernst, who turned back sharply, roared:
"From now on, all the catapults and ballistas in the fortress of Broken Boundary Mountain will follow the command of His Excellency Ain Rand-this is my order, have you heard it clearly?!"
"Understand— —!"
In an instant, there was an orderly sound from all the towers of the city wall. The panicked engineers filled the ammunition, waiting for the weak, but unwavering The command.
"Prepare...three, two, one...launch!"
The flames of the sky swept across the sky like meteors, and the screaming arrows rained down on the little man. The wizard’s command sound reaped the carrion demons outside the city wall section by section; in the flames, a series of monsters shattered into pieces in the roar of ice cracks.
But these monsters didn't feel any fear at all. Those gray carrion demons holding ice crystal shields and lance still took a neat pace, at a moderate pace of Xiangduanjie The mountain fortress is approaching.
The broken bones, falling into the deep pit... The shadow of death once again shrouded the city wall of the fortress of Broken Boundary Mountain. Thousands of carrion demons once again forcibly filled the most Outer trenches!
The little wizard with face pale bit his lower lip, still calmly commanding the engineers to pour flames outside the city... and the monsters under the city have already stepped on countless ice crystal "skeletons", forcibly approaching the city. .
"Clang——!"
Long sword came out of the body, and the dignified Ernst Dresis stood at the forefront of the wall stack, behind him was densely packed , Hundreds of Legion soldiers erecting a shield wall.
Hundreds of carrion demons climbed up the city wall, next moment, the middle-aged Knight suddenly raised the silver long sword, and the deep roar sounded again:
" For the glory of Zackland——!"
"For the glory of Zackland————————!!!"
"Go forward——!"
Following Ernst’s angry roar, a whole row of battle halberd was erected in front of the shield wall. Legion soldiers holding the shield stepped forward in neat steps and climbed up the city wall. The monsters collided head-on!
The black shield wall and the ash-gray tide strangled together, the Legion soldiers who tried their best to lift the shield died under the ice crystal lance, the roaring monster was split into pieces by the battle halberd, and the roaring crossbowmen A continuously rain of arrows pouring...
"Woo——————————————!!!"
At the moment when the battle was deadlocked, A melodious horn sounded from afar.
