Twenty Sided Dice

Chapter 277: Drag three

?

cpa300_4(); The anchor crossbow is a large and difficult-to-move, but surprisingly powerful defensive weapon. The anchor-sized crossbow can be launched by using the steel rope tightened on the winch. If it falls into the crowd, it will be swept away into pieces of soldiers like mowing grass. Even the tough and huge body of the Ancient War Tree could hardly withstand such an impact.

The first wave of shooting had the best effect, and the entire front of the elves slowed down, watching an ancient war tree cut in half and fell into the dust. The morale of the hub was boosted, and many soldiers raised their weapons and cheered excitedly. The men immediately paid the price for their inexperience—the elven archer's arrow came in a flash, piercing their throats. The soldiers defending the city immediately shrank behind the city wall, only daring to observe the situation outside through the shooting holes.

The ancient war tree roared and suddenly increased its speed, and the entire city wall shook with their pace. The mechanic next to the anchor and the crossbow pulled the winch with all their might, trying to get a few more rounds to attack. At this moment, there was the chirping of eagles above their heads, and the elf Druid's bird companion launched a dive attack.

The soldier defending the city raised the heavy crossbow in his hand, aimed at the air and pulled the trigger. Lightning-fast black crossbow bolts intertwined into a large net of death, and bright red blood sprayed from the eagle's feathers, no longer flying agilely, and fell straight to the ground.

The druids suffered from the death of their partner, but who told them to throw their birds into the war? Some druids transform themselves into giant birds, ready to take off from the treetops, but the truly wise elves prepare their spells.

Anticipating the imminent attack of a second wave of anchor crossbows, they cast a spell to drive away the metal. The arrows in the air and the weapons in their hands were all strongly repelled, and the armored guards on the city walls even fell down. The anchor crossbow is heavy and fast. Although it is not bounced off by spells like arrows, it still changes its direction and flew over the head of the ancient war tree without causing any damage.

Druids wear leather armor and carry hardwood staffs. They can use a spell called ironwood to strengthen wooden weapons, making them as strong as steel. These people were not affected in the slightest. On the contrary, under the cover of magic, it changed into various animals that can climb rocks, and took the opportunity to rush to the city wall.

The effect of driving away the metal is only for a moment, and it begins to weaken when the Druid ascends the city. If the battle was just druids and the Ancients of War, they could even make enchantments that repelled metal. It's a pity that the number of Druids is too small. The ancient tree of war is not an invincible unit, and the elves still need warriors armed with metal weapons, wearing metal armor, and support from the arrows fired by the elves.

And so the scuffle over the city began.

This battle between blood and fire, steel and blood will always be the same, full of courage and sacrifice, rage and death. The human soldiers of the hub castle had an advantage in numbers, and they rushed to the city wall one after another. Elf Druids can switch between beast and human form. Unleash a variety of attacks. But using fur against metal always loses out, so you lose the battle very quickly.

Healing spells enveloped the elves, and they left the city head wounded and returned to the ancient tree of war. On the one hand, it is to make way for the elven warriors, and on the other hand, it can also concentrate on protecting the ancient tree of war with magic.

Some of the big trees firmly grasped the stones of the city wall with their branches, rooted with their feet, and pulled outwards with force. The cracks in the stone city wall kept falling gravel, and many places began to loosen. Humans poured flammable kerosene on the ancient trees of war and set it on fire. The ancient tree screamed, but still did not let go.

The Druid summons the Water Elemental. Try to put out these flames. But the fire oil in the hub castle cannot be extinguished with water, it can only be washed away. Fortunately, the ancient war tree has good fire resistance, and the outer skin is difficult to ignite.

Several ancient war trees that were just shot by the anchor and crossbow were not so lucky. The flames penetrated from their wounds and raged in their bodies. The Druid uses magic to quickly seal the wound. Without air support, the burning won't last long, and the ancient tree of war just needs to endure as much as possible to survive.

Despite rushing to the top of the city, the elves began to feel the pressure at this time. The crossbow shot from the tower of the castle posed a great threat to the elves. The ancient tree of war is behind the elf warrior. It can no longer provide protection against bows and arrows. While relying on elf steps can improve your chances of dodging, in war, no one can guarantee that you won't make any mistakes.

As long as you are injured, or show fatigue. It will soon be set on fire - which is why the brave live longer than the cowardly. Seeing the wounded, even recruits dared to charge him with a spear.

Martial arts are not of much use at this time, luck is the biggest reliance. This is a hasty attack launched by the elves, but the human warriors on the other side are waiting, and the addition of the Crimson Spire sealed the victory. Precise energy missiles killed a large number of elven warriors. Violent attacks are blocked by spells.

Siegel watched the battle from a distance, because Heimland might face a similar situation in the future. He saw the humans fighting back bravely, and the elves who covered each other in a three-person formation, and he knew in his heart that this was just the beginning. The elves just responded to the sneak attack of the Mages Association, and took advantage of this attack to test the defensive strength of the hub castle.

Rangers rushed up and suppressed the human guards at the top of the city with bows and arrows. The guards who were not hiding behind the shield were shot quickly and stumbled off the city wall. Some elven rangers cooperated with each other, one shot at the edge of the iron shield, and the impact of the arrow made the defender's shoulder sway, revealing a flaw. Here's another Elf Ranger taking a fleeting opportunity to shoot another arrow from the gap, killing the Shield Soldier.

The mage tower's energy missiles turned to attack the ranger, and the arrival of the elven mage thwarted that attempt. They specialize in countering the magic tower's spells, blocking spells including energy missiles, acid arrows, and searing rays. They reduce the variability of the battlefield, so that the walls only need to use force to solve problems. However, this time the elves did not have the idea of ​​taking down the city wall in one go. The rangers used bows and arrows to suppress them to gain the upper hand, but the warriors began to retreat in an orderly manner.

They also took their fallen elf companions along the way—some were dead, but most were seriously injured and temporarily unable to move.

Taking advantage of this time, the castle trebuchet in the hub castle began to work. This kind of catapult is not designed to hit the siege equipment in the distance, but to kill the enemy under the city wall. Countless gravel smashed down, the target is the elves' caster group: those mages and priests.

The ancient war tree withdrew its hands from the city wall, raised it high, and then took a few steps back and twisted its body. The fallen stones were shielded by the canopy, and the mages and priests below were unharmed. At this time, the elf warriors withdrew, and the ranger seized the opportunity to shoot the last few arrows into the city wall.

Their goal was very clear, and climbing the city wall allowed them to see the situation of the defenders, so the rangers all aimed at those defensive weapons that were a threat to the elves, and the fierce fire oil was the first to be attacked. The elf ranger recited the incantation silently, and let the arrows carry the power of fire, cross the battlefield, and rushed to the warehouse where the fierce kerosene was stacked with the screams of the crowd. Although the storage room is built with sand and stones, it is still a temporary building after all, and the gaps between the sandbags are used by the elves. After a loud bang, the explosion formed by the fierce fire oil overturned all the knights within ten meters, and then the flames flew in all directions, igniting the catapult, the anchor crossbow, and the soldiers a little further away. The thick smoke covered the sky and the sun, and the defenders on the city wall needed to devote a lot of energy to deal with the chaos, and it was too late to stop the pursuit.

The ancient tree of war shielded the elves from being hit by the trebuchet, and slowly retreated into the distance. They left behind a burning wall, corpses all over the ground and human guards who didn't know whether they were victorious or defeated.

"The elves have been repelled!" Someone cheered, and soon the hub was immersed in excitement and excitement. The elves and their huge trees have been oppressive to those who have fled, and this sentiment is heightened by the time of the war. Either way, the elves' retreat was obvious, and everyone finally had a way to vent, hugging each other, crying, and laughing.

"Eunuch Ear" raised his long sword high and began to cheer for victory. He needed to add confidence and morale to the soldiers in this way - if he didn't do this, those recruits might collapse in the next battle.

The elves were just a simple raid and probing this time. Not many of them died, and all the wounded were rescued. How can there be a situation where the number of deaths of the defending side is several times that of the siege side? This is definitely a failure.

Sir Stephens knew very well that elves were not so easy to deal with. They were able to quickly adjust tactics on the battlefield, never make the same mistakes, and work in unbelievably well with each other. With the help of the location, the hub fort used almost all the means, but the results were not ideal.

The next time the elves come again~www.readwn.com~ here are still just trebuchets, anchor crossbows, and fierce kerosene—and a lot of the fierce kerosene has been burned-the elves must be prepared, and I am afraid that even the victory this time will be lost. not reach. The only variable in the war is the Mages Association, and the red magic tower is the only possibility to defeat the elves. The lord must come forward quickly, whether it is a pleading or a threat, the mages in the Magic Tower River must be allowed to participate in the war.

Such thoughts come to the mind of every knight with basic intelligence, and in this way Siegel has achieved his purpose. It is a cruel choice to completely ignite the war. Siegel looked around, these fleeing peasants, many of them will die in the battle between the elves and the Federation.

This time the elves did not use their real strength, nor did the Knox joint meeting, otherwise, it would not be just the burn caused by the explosion of fierce fire oil. The battle of spells has always been dangerous, and the fragile * is simply irresistible in the face of elemental forces, and Siegel can now imagine the tragic scene at that time.

But then again, what happens if Siegel doesn't ignite the fuse of an all-out battle? The refugees starved to death, the lords led the knights on a final heroic charge, and then lived forever in poetry? Refugees never appear in those poems.

The future is difficult to determine, and even the master of prophecy cannot be sure that his choice is necessarily the best. Siegel hoped he did nothing wrong. (To be continued.)
