Otherworldly Apprentice Lich and Foot Knight

At the same time, Shane was also experiencing all this.His team was assigned to defend a small section of the city wall. Before the magic bombardment, except for a few observation posts, everyone retreated to the bunker under the city wall.Although the bunkers for the soldiers to hide in were well protected, they definitely did not have a good view of the command post.They received the covert order very early, so Shane didn't even see the first fireball, but heard from others that the bombardment magic was about to start outside. When they hid in the bunker for 2 minutes, the ground began to tremble!

Lights are prohibited in the bunker, and whispering is also prohibited, so it is dark, hot and humid here, and the only thing you can feel is the trembling from under your feet, and the loud explosion that hurts your ears.

"Boom——!!!" There was an extremely close explosion, and fine dust even fell off the top of Xia En's head. Xia En's first reaction was to stand up and dodge, but his body was rigid. When he got up a little, he was pulled back by Sai Lun who was sitting next to him—running was also forbidden here, and he had to stay where he was even if he was buried alive!This was repeatedly emphasized before the war.Although this is also the duty of the captain Sai Lun, it is undeniable that he saved Zhou Lingke's life.

Xia En resisted the urge to thank, and sat down again, but his hands were tightly clutching his knees.He finally understood the reason for those orders before the war, because without those orders, what Xia En wanted to do most now was to howl twice, and stand at the door to look out.After all, hiding in a cave like a tomb and listening to the huge roar like a death knell, the psychological pressure is too great.The scene of himself being buried alive kept appearing in his mind just now, and he couldn't control it at all.

Licking his lips, Xia En tried his best to take a deep breath and adjust himself. He was not ashamed of his obvious rookie expression, because he was just mentally prepared to fight on the battlefield, but this did not mean that he changed from rookie to Became a veteran.

Suddenly something lit up, and then the whole bunker lit up. Xia En watched all the team leaders including Salem stand up, and then he remembered that the light was on as an order to go up the city wall.He saw that the mouths of Sai Lun and many people were opening and closing, they must be talking, but Xia En's ears could only hear some rumbling voices recalling in his ears, as for what Sai Lun and the others said Can't even hear the pronunciation.Stand up, follow along, just don't disperse.

Stumbling a bit when standing up, Xia En stamped his numb feet and followed.

Walking out of the cover of the bunker, Xia En finally saw what the magic that was as powerful as a cannonball on the earth looked like. A fireball just flew over his head, and coincidentally bombarded out of the inner city. Another fireball hit together!They exploded in the sky, as if another sun had risen here, and then countless flames fell from the sky...

"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!")". It was only a dozen meters away from Xia En.The flames of magic are amazingly hot, the armor of steel protects well, and conducts heat... well.Xia En saw with his own eyes the two people who were smashed upright, and their armors even turned crimson at that moment.Not everyone is so tough that they would not say a word even if they were roasted to death. Sean watched them struggle, heard them scream, and at the same time smelled the aroma of roasted meat in the air...

Xia En wanted to vomit, but the person behind him was probably from the same team, but he didn't know who was pushing him.Xia En followed subconsciously, he staggered, and even stood on the city wall, his legs were still shaking.He looked down the city wall, and the flames that had just caused the commotion had been extinguished, and those injured or dead had disappeared.

"Xia En!" The shout in his ear made Xia En suddenly wake up from the ignorant and confused state just now. He looked at the people who were close at hand, and he didn't know when his ears had recovered.

Before Sai Lun yelled a second time, Xia En had already run to his position.This section of the city wall is the area in charge of their team, but it doesn't mean that they are the only ones in this section of the city wall. There are four other teams in the same place with them, two of which are archers, and the other staffing is the same They are the same.Sean hid behind the battlements and looked in the direction of the enemy. His eyes were wide enough for him to see the farthest place, where there were heavily armed warriors, well-protected magicians, and huge siege machines. "It's hard to deal with" is clearly written on the head.It's completely different from those who are rushing towards the city wall with shouts. These people only have the most crude weapons at most, and some even have farm tools in their hands.

When they rushed to a place 50 meters away from the city wall, they were frightened back by a round of arrows, but when they returned to their own camp, they were hacked and killed by their own knights, so they could only turn around and rush towards the city wall again, until the last one people fall.

This... what the hell is going on?That was a large number of deaths of nearly a thousand people, but this scene is really... so weird that it is almost a drama, even a comedy, so that the fear of war brought about by the violent bombing and the tragic death at close range just now It all faded a lot, but Xia En fell into an inexplicable daze.

At the same time, Zhou Lingke was as inexplicable as him, but compared to Xia En, Zhou Lingke's special treatment allowed him to find someone to answer his doubts, such as the guard who was fine for the time being.

"That's tradition."

"Tradition?"

"Yes, apart from Mangtan, most other countries have the tradition of militiamen taking the lead before a war. Those militiamen who survive and return with the opponent's head will most likely be made knights."

"How could it be possible to survive?" Zhou Lingke muttered in a low voice, thanked the soldier, and turned his gaze back to the battlefield.More than a year later, when he really came into contact with this world, Zhou Lingke understood why there was such a tradition outside of Mangtan.It seems stupid to die now, but under certain circumstances, the emergence of this tradition is actually very reasonable.

The militiamen were all dead, and Mangtan's militiamen who hadn't left the city fought against them and carried out this kind of meaningless killing. This was the only ending waiting for them.

The sound of the horn sounded, and the army behind began to move. Zhou Lingke could only see three irregular long squares, advancing towards the city wall.Xia En on the city wall could see more clearly that these people should be real soldiers, at least they were wearing armor, weapons in their hands, round shields, bows and arrows on their backs, and accompanied by siege equipment. However, these soldiers were not Dressed in a uniform uniform, but with some similar emblems.The ear-piercing screams suddenly became denser, and six or seven huge magic balls of various colors blasted across the city wall towards the enemies outside the fortress—the militiamen did not have this kind of welcoming ceremony just now.

A golden magic light curtain visible to the naked eye appeared in the sky above the enemy, and Blackstone Fort's magic attack hit the light curtain. The light curtain shook due to the impact, but it kept sticking to its duty until all the magic balls were hit. Shattered to pieces before it dissipates in the air.Most of the soldiers who attacked were safe and sound, only a dozen or so unlucky ghosts who were beyond the range of the light curtain fell on the way forward.

Xia En saw several experienced archers stand up at the extreme time when the light curtain disappeared, and shot arrows at the enemy's phalanx.Because of the projectile used, there is no aiming, but in the face of a large number of enemies, there is no need to aim, as long as the arrow is shot out, there will be gains.They only shot two arrows, and immediately retreated behind the city wall.Xia En saw scattered people in the enemy's line fall down, and there were not enough experienced soldiers holding their shields high to guard against bows and arrows.

It was almost as if the archers here had just hid, when the magic ball flying at high speed sounded like heavy artillery shells again.When the second round of magic ball bombardment ended, the enemies who were advancing on foot suddenly started to run in big strides.The casting of the magic light curtain requires the mages to be within a certain range, and their current distance, if the mage continues to follow the spell, then he will face the danger of being sniped by the magic archer who uses magic arrows, which is obviously not worth it of.They ate the third round of magic ball attacks on the road, but after the third round of attacks, most of the enemies had entered within 50 meters of the city wall. Within this distance, the magic balls had continued to bombard, otherwise it would be very difficult It is possible to accidentally injure your own city wall.

The horn rang again, but this time the horn was even lower, it was Mang Tan's horn.There is a soldier storage place every other section of the city wall. Now the doors of these soldier storage places are wide open, and more archers poured out from inside.Xia En took a deep breath, and lifted up a huge shield that was one inch thick and 1.5 meters high. This shield was not carried with him, but was always leaning against the city wall. It could only be used at certain times, such as now, to protect the archers .

The city wall was shooting arrows downwards, and there were also soldiers kneeling on one knee under the city wall aiming at the archers on the city wall. The huge shield protected the archers who had to stand upright to a certain extent.However, it was only to a certain extent, after all, it was impossible to raise the shield above the head.

"Pfft!" "Ugh!"

The archer next to Xia En fell, a stranger who was only meeting for the first time today, an arrow that almost brushed the edge of the shield pierced his throat, and Xia En knew that it must be It penetrated his large blood vessels, and a large amount of blood spurted out, but it was not as glaring as imagined on the black city bricks... He fell to the ground, clutching the arrow at his throat, his body twitching , the light in the eyes is gradually dimming.And before the rays of light completely dissipated, someone rushed up and carried him away.

For a moment, Sean wondered if it was him that caused the man to die, if he held the shield a little bit off, wouldn't the arrow not hit the archer?Or at least not shot through his throat.But soon he didn't have time to think too much, because he was also going to join the battle!

Again the horn, with a drawn-out tone, sounded three times in a row.This is what retreat means.Just as Xia En wanted to move, he suddenly realized that something was wrong, and he looked towards the nearest military storage place.There is still a red flag at the door, which means fighting.It seemed that his brain, which was filled with paste, hadn't resumed functioning, and the enemy had already retreated, leaving only a few hundred corpses.Xia En sat down against the city wall. In fact...he didn't really face the enemy for a long time, maybe not even half an hour.This shouldn't be indifferent to Xia En, who has adapted to Mangtan's highest-intensity military training.However, now he is very tired, so tired that his legs seem to have lost their function, and even standing up is just a luxury.

"Injured?" Sai Lun's worried voice sounded.

"No, not really, I'm just a little tired." Sean didn't hide his situation, Sai Lun pressed his shoulder, with a smile of understanding on his face, didn't say anything more, and turned to look His other soldiers were gone.

After a while, Xia En left the city wall with the support of his comrades-in-arms. He was always a taciturn big black man, and he rarely whispered to him while supporting Xia En: "Xia En, you are not bad. Thin Jack peed his pants the first time he participated in a large-scale battle, and he was worried for half a month because his penis was so weak that he couldn't stand up."

"Hey! I hear you!"

No matter how quiet he is, there are still many people around who can hear the voice of Hei Da.So, amidst the muffled laughter of a dozen people, Thin Jack was jumping up and down like an old monkey in protest.

"Today's battle should be over." The commander also announced in the command post, but after stretching himself, he immediately deployed the defense.His experience told him that today's tentative attack is enough, and the real battlefield will be tomorrow, or even the day after tomorrow.

"Do you need anything, Mage Nick?" Zhou Lingke was still looking outside in a daze. He didn't know that Xia En was one of the many soldiers who were going downstairs to change defenses, and he didn't meet Death face to face, but, Some things do feel different.Therefore, when the commander took the initiative to come over and ask him, he didn't react at all, "Master Nick?"

"Ah? Uh... Sorry, I just lost my mind. Your Excellency, what were you talking about just now?"

"What I want to ask is, do you have any needs?" The commander didn't show any dissatisfaction with Nick's distraction, he still asked patiently, but at the same time the expectation in his eyes couldn't deceive anyone.

"Need?" Zhou Lingke was puzzled by the word, and told him intuitively that the commander didn't mean food and water.

"We got a batch of corpses, very fresh ones. Of course, they are all from the enemy, and there may be a few prisoners of war." The commander said, the expectation became more obvious. Facing his eyes, Zhou Lingke was even worried. I had to take a step back, "I heard that these can be used to create a very good plague."

"I'm not good at this." Zhou Lingke stepped back again, his back almost leaning against the wall, "I'm sorry, Commander."
