But even though they were huge, and their huge arms could break a hundred-year-old tree with a wave of their huge arms, and ordinary elves couldn't even count as miscellaneous soldiers in front of them, they were not without weaknesses.
Like most elemental creatures, rock monsters also have a magic core. It is said that they can exist because of the high concentration of magic wind, which gathers and eventually forms a magic core, endowing them with the ability to act.However, because the energy in the core of this magic is too violent, no elf mage has researched it so far.
However, it is said that the brainless rock monsters provided inspiration to the elf warlocks thousands of years ago, and created constructs based on them.That is, those giant elf statues that appeared in the battle of Tal-Anlek.
……
Carter, who was sitting in Bucephalus holding a halberd, happened to be confronting a rock monster at this time, followed by a hundred Ailion knights and guards, and they were all ordered to stand by at this time.
The body of the rock monster is relatively burly, the half body and lower body are thick and terrifying, but the head is small and stands in the middle of the body. A random punch can punch a big hole in the ground. If you really hit that punch, Even God's Chosen Heroes, who are protected by the gods, have to rest in bed for several days to recover.
"drive!"
Busefelus, who is brave by nature, has never been afraid of any enemy so far. Even in the face of a huge rock monster ten meters high, he still bravely rushed forward.
The extremely fast Bucephalus quickly passed by the side of the rock monster.
"what!"
Carter, who was holding the Dragon Flame Halberd tightly with both hands, also took advantage of the opportunity and swung the sharp tip of the spear across the rock monster, with a fist the size of an adult elf.
The Dragon Flame Halberd made of dragon fire and a special alloy cut off more than half of its left fist with ease, just like cutting tofu. After rushing over, Carter turned around and cut it directly. More than half of the remaining left fist was cut off, leaving only a little 'skin stone' connected together.
Although this level of wound looks quite scary, for elemental creatures like rock monsters, there is no wound at all, and it can be refilled with clay and rocks in just a little time.
Therefore, Carter reined in the reins without questioning, motioned to turn around, and took a warhammer from his waist from his head.
In order to facilitate the overdraft, Carter imitated Thor and pressed a tough rope to the handle.
"drive!"
Carter, who used his wrist to select the warhammer at high speed, concentrated on activating the thunder attribute chakra in his body, and then concentrated on the warhammer.
The warhammer, like a small whirlwind, immediately began to make a 'sizzling' electric sound.
"Om!..."
The war hammer full of lightning was thrown by Carter after reaching the highest speed. The war hammer thrown by Carter, whose physical fitness was several times higher than that of ordinary elves, spun at high speed and hit the back of the rock monster in the next second.
"boom!"
The back was directly smashed into a big hole by the war hammer, and the lightning strikes gathered on the hammer immediately began to take effect, and quickly circulated in the rock monster, causing its body to emit a "sizzling" electric sound and burst out. Black smoke.
Although in Lei Ketu, the creatures in the fantasy warhammer world do not have such a relationship of mutual generation and mutual restraint, but the movement of the rock monster did appear for a short time.
Taking advantage of the rock monster's back facing him, Carter stood on the horse's back, and when he was about to approach, he raised it vigorously, and split the rock monster's back with a halberd.
Just like a hot butter knife touching butter, the body made of stones and mud can't stop the sharp attack of the Dragon Flame Halberd at all. A big hole was easily cut open on the back of the rock monster, revealing the The body's most important magic core.
Not missing the opportunity, Carter quickly threw out the second war hammer, directly smashing the colorful magic core.
The cracked magic core immediately exuded a magical wind that only mages could sense the ground, like a gust of wind.
Carter, who had been prepared for a long time, immediately took a step, chased Busefelus who was walking slowly, and quickly moved away from the rock monster to avoid being affected by the wind of magic.
Any one of the eight winds, if ordinary people get too close to it without any precautions when it is violent, usually it will not end well.
Until now, he has not been able to find an opportunity. Carter, who is looking for a master of magic to learn magic knowledge, is the kind of person who has nothing to do with the wind of magic.
After dozens of seconds, the magic core, which was enough to supply the rock monster for hundreds of thousands of years, finally exhausted all its energy and completely turned into powder and disappeared.
Seeing this, several cavalry immediately went to clean the battlefield and recovered the two war hammers thrown by Carter. The rest of the dozen or so new Arion elf officers rode to Carter one after another, showing respectful expressions.
"Kunos, the god of hunting, is here, we have witnessed your bravery with our own eyes!"
The Arion elves, who admired the strong and the brave, all showed admiration and admiration after seeing Carter's skill.
At the beginning, there were some elves of noble origin, and they didn't think much of Carter, a civilian general who didn't even have a surname. However, elf society valued ability more than birth, and as long as they were outstanding, they were generally recognized.What's more, Carter is still their boss in name, and it is not wise to provoke him for no reason, so the dozen or so Elion officers present began to praise Carter's heroic actions.
Even for these knights who are good at fighting monsters, if they want to single-handedly and quickly deal with rough-skinned and thick-skinned monsters like rock monsters, it will take half a day to grind slowly.For the sake of efficiency, they often cooperate with multiple people, but rarely fight alone.
"Are there any other monsters around here, let's deal with them together."
"There is no other news from the scouts, and everything around is normal!"
Knowing that the Elion knights admire the strong, especially the strong on horseback, Carter deliberately showed his hand to frighten them, so as not to be unable to command these arrogant soldiers.
"Very good, return to the main force!"
"drive!"
The elves who left in a mighty way made the originally bustling wilderness return to calm again. Only the big pit caused by the broken magic core proved the excitement just now.
……
Walking on one of the few continents leading to the Giant Eagle Pass, the closer the First Corps got to the pass, the more refugees passing by in groups on the road.
"Anything to eat?"
"Give some water to drink"
After several months of transfer, the refugees who were still able to escape from the outer ring to the inner ring at this time, without exception, became quite nervous, and their mental state was extremely poor.Apparently they had gone through an unimaginably difficult journey in order to avoid the chaotic creatures along the way.
Moreover, not every kingdom has set up a guard force similar to the First Corps to escort civilians along the way. Most of the fleeing elves can only rely on their own contradictions, bows and arrows and courage to fight against powerful enemies.
The refugees who lacked food and clothing seemed to miss Azul at all. Most of them were emaciated and sallow.Although the defenders of Giant Eagle Pass had given them enough food, they were still like hungry hamsters, begging for food and drink when they saw people, and then hoarding them.
In the face of these refugees, Carter ordered that only appropriate relief be given to them, and not too much food was allowed.Hungry people tend to act irrationally after they have enough food. Even if they are full, they will continue to overeat. Jia Bingyuan strangled himself to death before recovering his body.
Their tragedies, combined with the officer's propaganda, resonated with the soldiers of the First Corps.
"If we can't stand the pass, it will be our turn to face our relatives and friends, who will suffer the same as them! Guarding the Giant Eagle Pass is not for others, but for ourselves!"
After mobilization and propaganda along the way, the morale of the soldiers of the First Corps has become stronger and higher, and not many people have a negative attitude.
Finally, on the No. 14 day when the order to move out was issued, the First Corps led by Carter finally came to the pass.The Giant Eagle Pass, which seems to have opened a crack with an ax in the mountains, is just like the other four passes, all of which are eternal passes that cannot be opened by one man.
And when they walked to the middle of the pass and saw the urgently strengthened Giant Eagle Fortress, the morale of the soldiers of the First Corps was even higher.
With the help of the mage, the Giant Eagle Pass, which was originally just a thin wall, was completely upgraded into an ultimate composite fortress that is difficult for ordinary people to break through.The multiple walls, protrusions, urns and multi-layered strike system all make this fortress a sight to behold, and people will retreat and not want to attack by force, and the most convenient part of the city wall is also aimed at possible air forces. The structure of the roof is also equipped with a large number of spikes to prevent the chaotic air forces from staying.
At the same time, a large number of arrow towers were built in the middle of each city wall, and there were shooting holes from bottom to everywhere, which were convenient for crossbow vehicles to shoot.At the very end is something that looks like a crystal. It is an augmented crystal carved out by an elf mage. It can easily increase the power of low-level magic and use it to deal with enemies in the air and on the ground. It belongs to the magic turret. kind of.
The city walls, which are divided into several sections, spread all the way to the mountainside. The shortest part seems to be more than 30 meters high. In the past, the Chaos Legion used to attack the city with giants and giant beasts as high as fifteen or six meters. Facing these thick and tall walls , also became like a child, and could only reach half of the city wall.
After all, the elves are a highly developed civilization. After the lessons of the outer ring and the strict orders of the eternal queen, the newly built fortress is quite perfect.
Seeing the fortress system in front of him, Carter couldn't help showing a satisfied smile and said: "That's true! As long as there are enough mages and troops, Chaos wants to break through such a fortress without leaving at least [-] corpses behind. I can't see any hope!"
The only shortcoming is that the overall appearance of this fortress does not have the traditional elf architectural aesthetics at all, and it doesn't look like an elf architectural style at all.But as long as you know that this fortress was urgently built within a month with the assistance of a mage, it is not difficult to understand why it looks so rough.
"As long as the appearance is practical, it doesn't matter at all, keep going! Move into the fortress as soon as possible to familiarize yourself with the environment, the enemy may come at any time!"
Carter, who said so, took the Skyhawk Brigade of the First Corps, the Fifth Corps, the Seventh Corps, and the independent battalions of the various elite troops directly under them into the Giant Eagle Fortress.
Chapter 233 Pilum
The Eagle Fortress faces the outermost wall of the inner ring.
Knowing that the [-]st Corps was coming, the city guard general brought a group of people to greet him outside the city gate early on.
Insert an app: the APP that perfectly reproduces the old version of the book-chasing artifact--mimi reading mimiread.
Although it has been known that the source is a strong army, when 'Apton Estelle' saw the majestic appearance of the First Corps with his own eyes, he still couldn't help but feel tongue-tied.
The 44 giant eagles flying neatly in the sky, the sky eagle brigade marching in several columns on the ground walked in unison, the silver helmet knight and the Ailion marauder on the other side rode horses at the same time, and More infantry and various special units formed a strong momentum behind the formation, which made the guarding officers who came out to greet them feel their scalps tingling.
Anyone who sees the scene where thousands of people march in unison can't help but feel the powerlessness of ants facing giants.
When Carter, who was riding a huge war horse, came to him, Apu Ting couldn't speak out the manuscript he had prepared a long time ago, and could only show a slightly embarrassed smile to cover up his nervous expression.
…………
"The arrival of His Excellency Carter and the First Corps has greatly enriched the strength of the fortress."
Two hours later, Carter and Apu, who had arranged the entry sequence, came to the safe conference room, except for them, there were only a few confidantes on both sides.
"The urgently expanded fortress is solidly defended and equipped with complete equipment, but the strength or qualified defenders have always been insufficient, because we Ailion spirits are not particularly good at defending the city. We dare to challenge any enemy on the plain in terms of field cavalry, but this knight In the fortress, it is equivalent to losing a pair of hands."
Without any shyness, Apu expressed his difficulties since he became the city defender.
"...Before Your Excellency arrived, the Giant Eagle Fortress had 8955 defenders and more horses than the number of horses. There were 35 wind mages transferred from various places. They were responsible for guarding the mage tower in turn, and at the same time assisting us in our defense preparations. Work.
In the beginning, in order to expand the fort urgently, there were more than 100 mages at most, but they were transferred away after most of the projects were completed.Now whether it is the other four pass or the main cities in various places, they are building and expanding their fortifications, and there is an urgent need for manpower everywhere. "
Looking at the name of the troops in the military booklet, Carter nodded understandingly.
Of the nearly 9000 former Giant Eagle Fortress defenders, more than [-]% were temporarily transferred militias from all over Elyon. Although they were elves from Elyon, although they had superb riding skills, they lacked sufficient training and experience.At the same time, not all Elyon elves are masters of riding. Their riding skills can definitely be called first-class in other places, but they are still not enough compared to real silver helmet knights or even predators.
Not to mention being used to deal with Chaos troops, if the cavalry cannot form a charging momentum, then when facing Chaos heavy infantry, they will not perform much better than ordinary infantry.At this time, he was pulled to defend the city, and after emergency training, he was still quite competent.Since the particularity of defending the city does not require the soldiers themselves to have much subjective initiative, as long as they continue to fight at their own positions, the requirements for all aspects of quality are not high, as long as they are brave enough.
The remaining 300% are slightly better, and they are the relatively elite infantry in the regular army of Elion, and there is also a [-]-member knight order.
"Azul's fate is on our shoulders. General Apu, no matter what, the Giant Eagle Fortress must not be lost. Since we are here, we will fulfill our responsibilities. However, the original defenders, especially those who have just been recruited The militiamen should intensify their training while there is still time, and what is their equipment level?"
Carter, who came as a reinforcement guest, asked aggressively about the defense situation when he first arrived, although it was a bit of a check to see if the defense was ready.
But Apu Ting took out the inventory book very cooperatively, handed it to Carter and explained.
"Equipment is complete. Even recruits can lead a full set of heavy infantry equipment. The Giant Eagle Fortress has the highest priority. Materials, especially armor and weapons, will be given priority to us. Now in the underground warehouse of the fortress, whether it is armor, spears, or arrows. Or something like a rolling stone, which is enough for us to maintain a high-intensity battle for several months. And I heard that in order to cope with the upcoming fierce battle, Val Iron Station is forging equipment day and night. Let’s create equipment next time, I believe we will have a lot of equipment, even magic equipment, in the near future.”
"Good news, when did you hear about it?"
"Just yesterday, your Excellency was probably marching at that time, it's normal if you don't know."
Carter was very interested in the news that Val chose Dess to forge weapons in person. Although his current equipment is not bad, it is still a bit short of a magic weapon.
Ten thousand people from the First Corps lived in the Giant Eagle Fortress, and within a short period of time all the barracks and rest areas were filled, and even a considerable number of unlucky people had to share a bed with one person on duty and the other resting, and so on.
However, the benefits brought by this are obvious. The multi-layered city walls in the compound fortress are always guarded, each shooting room is manned, and the ballista under the magic turret is also always guarded.
It completely eradicated the possibility of relying on sneak attacks or surprise attacks to take down the Giant Eagle Fortress in one fell swoop.
"It's been a hard journey, let's arrange for His Excellency Carter and everyone to take a rest first, and there is no rush to inspect the fortress."
"That's true, you go to rest first, and General Apu Tiao can arrange for an officer to lead the way for me."
Speaking of which, Carter asked Aragorn and other legion commander-level subordinates to go down to rest.
"In this case, let me lead the way. There should be no one who knows the fort better than the general."
……
The fortress was full of soldiers from the First Corps and the guards leading the way, and it was very lively walking around.
Walking in the maze-like fortress, if his memory hadn't been greatly strengthened, Carter would probably have lost his way.
"It's really a huge fortress. It's more stupid than daydreaming to easily break through the fortress. But it may take an average soldier several weeks to remember the route."
Carter couldn't help worrying. If the soldiers of the First Corps hadn't fully familiarized themselves with the fortress, the situation would not be optimistic if the enemy had already approached the city.The chaotic flow of people will reduce the function of the fortress exponentially.
"Actually, we have already prepared for this point. We have prepared hundreds of soldiers who are familiar with the internal structure of the fortress. They can be assigned to small units at the company level and act as temporary counterparts when necessary. They can help the company familiarize themselves with their positions. "
"Good way! Then please ask the general to arrange personnel."
After roughly walking around the fortress, Carter, who had a good idea, finally went to eat and rest under the strong request of Apu Ting.
The first day at the fort came to an end quickly.
……
The next day.
Carter, who woke up from the gentleness with his shirt on, pulled out his right hand that was being held.
No matter how many times he wakes up, Carter will feel that the body of the elf is too strong, and it is no wonder that Slaanesh will become a big problem for the elves.
After suppressing the idea of doing it again early, Carter covered his white-haired girlfriend with a quilt, got dressed and left the single room specially arranged for him.
Compared with ordinary soldiers who needed multiple people to share a bed, his single room could be described as luxurious.
But he didn't care much about it, there was a more important matter waiting for him to solve.
The first large-scale battle he participated in after he came to the fantasy world of Warhammer was the battle to defend the city of Tar-Drowder.
Ever since he saw the rough skin and thick flesh of chaotic creatures, which were difficult to kill easily, he had an inspiration and idea in his subconscious, but he never had the chance to experiment.
Coming to Giant Eagle Fortress meant that for the next period of time, his main duty was to defend the city, so this experiment was very necessary.
He wanted to reproduce the pilum, the heavy armor-piercing javelin that was feared by Roman soldiers in another world.
This kind of heavy javelin with a weighted ball, a slender gun head and a heavy gun body has a strong armor-piercing ability. It's not a shortcoming.
After fighting the elves for several months, the Chaos army has become accustomed to equipped with shields, most of which are improvised wooden shields, and a few are harder metal shields.
When the Roman heavy javelin faces a wooden shield, it has an incredible armor-piercing ability. As long as it is within the effective range, the slender spear head can easily shoot through the shield, and then hang on the shield like a dog skin plaster. The soldiers are in a dilemma, whether to lose or to take.Moreover, the barb-shaped spear head will also make the javelin stuck firmly on the shield, making it impossible to pull it out easily in a short time.
Although ordinary elves, even using pilun, still can't penetrate the thick plate armor of Chaos Warriors, it is still a good thing to let them lose their shields.Moreover, if a javelin of nearly two meters is hung on the shield during the siege, it will definitely hinder the besieger from climbing, and the javelin hanging on the shield will easily get stuck on the siege ladder.
