Chapter 151 Surrounding but not attacking
Chapter 151 Surrounding but not attacking
Seeing that the arrows were not effective, several apprentice wizards from the Giant Snake Tower came to the city wall and started witchcraft one after another.
Soon, balls of flames and lumps of ice smashed out instantly, killing fifty or sixty skeleton soldiers.
This stopped the attack of the skeleton soldiers.
At the same time, the resting soldiers in Bazhier Town also quickly ran up the city wall.
Seeing this, Wilkin, who was behind the troops, could only order the skeleton soldiers to come back.
But when they were out of range, the skeleton soldiers stopped moving, and immediately turned around to stare at Bazhi'er town.
There is a posture that if you rest, I will continue to attack.
Seeing this, Maruane in Basil Town could only keep 400 people on duty on each side of the city wall, and the rest continued to rest.
At the same time, the griffin troops in the sky are constantly scouting the enemy, looking forward to finding a breakthrough.
But Wilkin has been engaged in various wars for the past six months.
The experience has also been very rich, and the camps established have formed a trend of horns, and there are no shortcomings at all.
So after observing for a while, Maruane could only stop the idea of sneak attack.
It was noon soon, and the temperature reached more than 50 degrees.
The resting soldiers were fine, but the soldiers on duty felt a heat wave coming, heat stroke, sunburn, sunburn.
For a time, the number of non-combat attrition increased linearly.
Maruane was trying to withdraw 200 people, and when he saw the skeletons charge immediately, they almost rushed up the city wall, so he never dared to retreat again.
But he also thought of a way that was not a solution.
That is, the staff on duty is rotated every hour.
While this greatly increases soldier fatigue, it is the only way to reduce non-combat losses.
Otherwise, there is no need for the enemy to attack. For a few hours, the 1000 to people on the city wall will suffer from heat stroke or sunburn.
In this way, time slowly came to night.
But at the rear of the coalition forces of the survivors, Wilkin stepped down as the commander of the coalition forces.
Because Thanos and Mary have arrived.
Not just Thanos and Mary, except for Wolfgang who was there early in the morning, Ai Belle and James, and even Jimmy who had no subordinates came.
Jimmy's idea is also very simple. Although he lost the town he guarded, he also hopes that through this siege battle, he can leave a good impression on Mance's heart, save him from the responsibility of losing the town, or get some reward.
At this time, Mary was sitting on the main seat, but she didn't speak, but looked at Thanos.
Although a wizard is a representative of learning knowledge and wisdom, it does not mean that he knows everything.
For her, research is simpler than war.
And she also has self-knowledge, letting herself direct a war is tantamount to giving away the head, and it is better to hand it over to a professional.
Thanos saw that everyone was present, so he said: "Everyone must be very clear about the situation this time. In addition to an official first-level wizard, there are three apprentice wizards in Bazhir Town. In addition, there are an unknown number of Viper Riders to watch out for.
We just need to focus on them. As for the war, we will leave it to professionals, Wilkin. "
Everyone nodded, but did not speak.
After all, as the other party said, professional matters should be left to professional people.
Although at the beginning, everyone may have some doubts about Wilkin's professionalism, but now there is no doubt at all.
Just a strategy to exhaust the enemy at noon alone is enough to toss the enemy, and none of their subordinates can have this kind of strategy and strategic vision.
There is also the establishment of the camp, which is also very perfect, so that the enemy has nothing to do.
So naturally they don't make any sense.
Seeing this, Thanos continued: "Next, I will arrange the direction of our respective defenses.
Miss Mary is free to move about, unless the other party's official wizard makes a move, otherwise she doesn't need to intervene.
Abel, you defend the north.
Wolfgang, you defend the south.
James, you defend the west.
Jimmy, you defend the east.
Everyone is fine, right? "
When everyone heard the words, they were stunned for a moment.
Because they all have missions, even Jimmy who plays soy sauce defends the east side where no one is attacking, but Thanos himself has no missions.
So Wolfgang couldn't help asking: "Mr. Thanos, what about you?"
"Me?" Thanos smiled slightly and said, "Of course I'm going to dig the magic stone mine. I brought a thousand skeleton miners out this time. Could it be for watching a show? By the way, the magic stone consumed by the skeleton miners , to be counted in the general ledger.”
It means that the magic stones dug out must be subtracted from the magic stones consumed by the skeleton miners, and then distributed according to the percentage.
After all, why do you want to attack Bazhier Town? Isn't it because of the magic stone?
Although Bazhir Town has not yet been captured, the magic stone can already be dug.
When everyone heard the words, they immediately had no opinion.
After all, apart from the natives who are used to the general world, there are only these undead who are not afraid of death and tiredness in mining.
After all, they don't have miners in their hands. Even if they have, humans cannot mine in this high temperature.
For this, they suddenly envied the necromancer, a profession they had looked down upon before.
I didn't expect Undead to be so easy to use and so fragrant. If I knew it, I would have learned the Undead system.
But now dead.
Thinking of this, everyone was envious and helpless for a while.
It's not that they can't learn the undead system, but before becoming an official wizard, it's best not to learn other factions' witchcraft, otherwise it will affect their main system.
It may lead to many but not good, and the effect of meditation is not good, etc., and ultimately cannot become a formal wizard.
You must know that wizards are scientists who pursue truth and knowledge, not a group of barbarians with empty power.
Therefore, no matter how powerful one is, without the corresponding knowledge, one cannot become a wizard, and one can only be a mage.
Seeing that everyone had no objections, Thanos began to discuss the details.
Such as food, weapons, wounded treatment and so on.
Because he didn't intend to take Bazhier Town quickly through several siege battles, but surrounded the opponent to death.
The reason for doing this, of course, is to test the reaction of the giant snake tower.
If the Giant Snake Tower sends support immediately, it means that the other party attaches great importance to Bazhier Town.
Then he would naturally grab some magic stones, suspend the shortage of magic stones and then run away.
After all, the Giant Snake Tower is powerful, and there are many second-, third-, and even fourth-level wizards sitting in it, so he dare not confront it head-on.
But I'm sorry if the support from the Serpent Tower is delayed.
Basil Town, he really wants to take it.
Moreover, he can also use this tactic of encircling the enemy to disintegrate the enemy's fighting spirit and combat effectiveness, and reduce the difficulty of future sieges.
So he wasn't in a hurry to take down Bazhir Town so quickly.
But the only problem is food and logistics.
This is also one of the reasons why he must pull in other members of the Survivor Alliance to reduce logistical pressure.
