Chapter 48
Before Twilight Fortress, both sides are making final military deployments to their respective armies.
On the battlements, Earl Croya never let go of any corner of the city wall.
"...you, stand here, if someone hangs up a ladder, you shoot them, and you must not let them get close to the city wall, remember it!"
". ..you two stand here, if the ladder is hung up, throw a stone and you will die..."
"...Dicos, this one will be handed over to you, when the enemy climbs up, I will I want you to defeat them here!"
Check the weights, adjust the formation, and carefully arrange the positions of each soldier. At this moment, Earl Croya has changed his previous careless attitude and assumed a qualified person. The duties of a military commander.
After arranging the positions of the soldiers, the earl went to Heath who was standing on the side of the battlement.
Although there are still three wizards in the fortress, Earl Croya knows that the only one in front of him is truly reliable.
"Lord wizard."
Things are urgent, and after a simple salute, the earl cut into the subject, pointing to the two trebuchets in the enemy camp and saying: "The two everyone It's a big trouble, we have to find a way to get rid of them, can you give me some magical help?"
Heath asked: "How far are their range?"
Earl Croya said: "At least three hundred yards, maybe three hundred and eighty yards."
Heath frowned: "I'm afraid there is nothing I can do."
His Fireball Technique is the largest The range is less than 30 yards.
He asked with some suspicion: "Is this kind of catapult formidable power amazing?"
From a physical point of view, he doesn’t think this kind of slow initial velocity can be loaded with difficulty. Breaking through the city wall or causing damage to soldiers, after all, it is easy to hide from no matter how you look at it.
Shook the head of the indifferent expression of Earl Croya: "They will turn my soldiers into deserters, trust me."
Heath stopped talking. He was sure about the war. Not professional.
Earl Croya thought for a while and said: "After the war starts, I will find the opportunity to take someone through the side door to destroy them. You only need to give me something that can guarantee that I can destroy them. "
Heath nodded: "Yes."
He took out two scrolls of Fire Element spell from the space ring and gave them to Earl Croya, and explained the usage: "...tear open Throw the sealing wax to the target and say incantion..."
All the resources consumed by the apprentice in the war can be reimbursed by Tower of Shadows, so there is no need to hide it.
Take down the scroll, and the deployment of Earl Croya is over.
However, the enemy forces are still deploying, so the Twilight Fortress also has a moment of respite.
Earl Croya stood beside Heath and said, "Master wizard, I must apologize for my rashness yesterday. It seems that I did underestimate the enemy yesterday."
Heath shook the head: "It's okay, it's not too late for you to pay attention to it now."
He came here purely for the attribute. If he can't beat him, he will flash. Of course, there is no psychology. pressure.
Being angry yesterday was just angry. These idiots may prevent him from getting the attributes.
Earl Croya looked at the darkened army below and said: "I hope so."
Such a disparity in military strength also made him a little less confident.
Although he has arranged for the raven to report the situation to the kingdom and the wizards and request additional staff, but this happened suddenly and the kingdom has no preparations. The ghost knows when the additional staff will arrive?
Thinking of this, Earl Croya asked Heath with a face of incomprehension: "Where did the Lakers get that many people?"
This is his Best The unsolvable problem is that this is an army of 10,000 people. How can there be a country in the dark land that can pull out such a team alone?
Be aware that before this, Lake Duchy has always been just an unknown and weak country.
Heath squinted his eyes, and said uncomfortably: "Who knows?"
I want to ask you, how about 1,500 people?
This bad prediction is too outrageous!
"wū wū wū wū !" At this moment, a deep horn sounded from a distance.
Earl Croya's expression tightened when he heard this voice, and the soldiers on the battlements suddenly became tense.
At the same time, the enemy's army in the distance began to move forward.
What is the concept of ten thousand people walking uniformly?
"Long! Long! Long!"
The sound of'rumbling' footsteps echoed in the whole world for a while, like thunder.
The billowing dust and smoke accompany the wind and sand, and it is daunting.
A strong solemn killing aura assaults the senses quickly swept the body and mind of every soldier on the battlement, making them shiver coldly and look pale.
Earl Croya's complexion also became very embarrassed at this time. A glimpse of a leaf can tell the autumn. Just by watching this march, you will know that the following group of people are not to be trifled with.
Ten thousand people can do a uniform order and prohibition, god, are all monsters down here?
"Da!" The footsteps stopped abruptly.
The enemy army stopped two hundred yards from the city wall.
"ka ka ka!" With the sound of the sliding metal chain, the scaffold of the trebuchet slowly turned, and a huge boulder about fifty centimeters in diameter was placed on the sling arm.
Next second——
The long sling arm is like a giant hand holding the stone and throwing upwards, the huge stone flies towards the city wall in a parabola come over.
"hu hu!" The dull sound of breaking wind in this brief moment is so clear.
The stone slowly flew towards the city wall, not fast, but at this moment the soldiers on the battlements looked stupid, and they really watched the stone hit head-on.
A soldier on its ballistic trajectory just stared blankly, not avoiding it.
The surrounding soldiers also saw that the stone hit the soldier, and they were sure that the stone would definitely hit the soldier, but no one pulled him, and no one even reminded him.
Everyone seems to have become idiots at this moment, become silly geese with their necks stretched out in the chicken coop, waiting to be slaughtered.
Seeing that the soldier was about to be smashed into flesh, Earl Croya rushed up with a sprint, pulling the soldier back, and the boulder almost wiped the soldier's door.
"dong! dong!" The heavy sound of the giant landing.
The boulder slammed heavily on the floor tiles, and after two bounces, it bumped into the city wall of the nearby tower.
The entire battlement seemed to shake at this moment.
The vibration amplitude was not large, but many soldiers on the city wall were shocked and fell to the ground.
Looking at the soft legs of the soldiers, Heath finally understood the meaning of Earl Croya's words before he came over.
It’s true that the trebuchet’s this thing hurts for the time being, but the psychological pressure it brings to people is really beyond description in a few words.
During the war, I kept thinking about the scene of rocks flying over and smashing myself into flesh, how can I fight this battle?
Earl Croya looked very embarrassed. He kicked the soldier: "Be careful!"
The soldier said in a panic crying: "Yes...Yes Yes, my lord."
The count has a dark face.
He pulled a trainee Knight, drew a cross sword from the side weapon rack and handed it to him, with a thunderous voice: "Adams, take my sword and guard the passage, if anyone retreats One step, don’t think about cutting off his head for me right away!"
"If there is a wife or daughter in the family, after the war is over, I will cook his whole family again!"
paused, he changed his words: "But if you fight bravely, even if you sacrifice here, I will take care of your family in the castle. If you can make contributions, I am willing to grant you my Croya daughter, Let you be a member of my Croya clansman!"
With a loud cry, he pulled out the cross sword from his waist, raised the cross sword high, and sternly said: "In the name of Croya! Get ready to fight!"
"In the name of Croya! Ready to fight!"
