Chapter 493: Fortress Attack and Defense (Part 2)
Lei Xiao's eyes were narrowed slightly, staring closely at the Holy Night Army that was slowly approaching below the fortress.
Although the power of the magic cannon is huge, the range is still relatively limited after all. In addition, the opponent adopts a projectile posture, which will further shorten this distance.
Therefore, the first step that the opponent needs to do is to naturally let the magic cannon and archers enter the effective killing range before launching an attack on the fortress.
Since the arrow tower where the group was currently located was located exactly in the center of the fortress wall, they could see everything clearly.
"Your Excellency, guest, just as we expected, the other party is indeed very cautious."
Bai Lao's old eyes were full of sparkle. He looked at the long-range power of the Holy Night Army that was slowly advancing under the cover of a large number of shield-bearing heavy infantry, and he spoke to Lei Xiao.
"Hey, it's like a turtle with its head shrinking."
Ariel frowned slightly, looking down at the large turtle shell formations formed by the Holy Night Army's shields, and then echoed.
"You are still so cautious when the long-range power is clearly dominant. It seems that the commanders of these two legions are obviously much stronger than the reckless guy just now."
Lei Xiao smiled faintly and said to the old general wearing heavy white armor beside him: "Old General Bai, just follow the plan. I have already sent people to the designated location."
"I understand. Thank you for your hard work, Your Excellency."
Bai Lao nodded to Lei Xiao and quickly walked out of the arrow tower.
As for Ariel, she continued to stay with Lei Xiao.
At this moment, Lei Xiao could clearly feel it.
Facing the city filled with murderous intent and the densely packed Holy Night Army approaching the city, although Princess Leng Yan looked quite calm, her body was trembling slightly unconsciously.
For her, being on such a grand battlefield was obviously an unprecedented experience.
“Dear Your Highness the Fifth Princess, don’t be frightened when the artillery fire breaks out.”
Lei Xiao looked at Ariel's fair and delicate face and couldn't help but tease her.
For Lei Xiao, who has experienced border battlefields and bloody battles with the Orc Legion.
Such a grand war scene, although shocking, can not be said to be frightening.
"Don't underestimate me. Although this is my first time on the battlefield, the blood of the King of Heroes flows in my body!"
Ariel put her hands on her hips and looked fearless: "I, the Lengyan royal family, are born to be the strongest and bravest warriors, just like my royal sister!"
"Perhaps your sister Wang has inherited too much warrior blood, and it has been exhausted by your time."
Lei Xiao raised his eyebrows and teased the other person again, and then his face became serious again.
Under the city wall, the dark army of Holy Night was getting closer and closer to the fortress.
Waves of impressive magic power began to ripple out from the turtle shell formations.
It seems that the magicians of the Holy Night Army are already preparing to cast spells to charge the magic cannon.
Along with a gust of biting night wind, a bone-chilling murderous intention also drifted in, making people suddenly jump to their feet.
As the troops approached the city, a war was imminent.
"Coming from another world, do you think our battle plan will be implemented smoothly?"
While shuddering, Ariel calmed down and subconsciously said to Lei Xiao.
"Don't worry, everything is under my control."
Lei Xiao's eyes were bright as he looked at the neatly formed Leng Yan defensive soldiers around him, and nodded to indicate to Ariel that there was no need to worry.
Lei Xiao and Ariel just said this.
Directly below the fortress, the first batch of 50 Holy Night Army magic cannons that had just entered the range were already bursting with dazzling magical brilliance, and launched the first wave of attacks non-stop!
Accompanied by waves of impressive magic power, they rippled out from the strict military formation on Holy Night.
As the earth trembled, loud thunder-like noises resounded below the fortress, and the momentum was extremely astonishing.
The combined killing range of 50 magic cannons is enough to completely cover the entire fortress wall!
Soon enough, after crossing a series of ∩-shaped tracks, deadly spells compressed to the extreme roared towards the city wall from the air!
The energy particles in the air are boiling, and each shot still looks like a spherical deadly spell of various types, like meteors speeding in the night sky, directly hitting the buffer defense barrier covering the fortress. .
Under the intensive magic bombardment, the surface of the buffer barrier with colorful streams of light suddenly stirred up a series of spreading ripples, just like a large number of stones falling on a calm lake, turning everything upside down.
Despite the various magic balls whizzing towards him, they all successfully penetrated the buffer barrier.
However, after being counteracted by the buffer barrier, both the speed of these spell balls and the violent magic power contained in them have been weakened a lot.
As the magic balls passed through the barrier one after another, they continued to roar down.
boom! boom! boom!
A series of deafening explosions exploded on the fortress wall.
The blazing fireball that expanded and expanded, the tornado blade that spread rapidly, the countless earth beads that exploded instantly like grenades... Various deadly spells complemented each other, like a bloody mouth, as if it could swallow everything.
Judging from the violent magic power that is constantly rippling out.
With the buffer barrier weakened, the lethality of these spells is still very impressive.
Each deadly vortex in the center is enough to kill several teams of first-order soldiers on the spot, let alone fifty deadly whirlpools at once?
For a moment, under the dark night sky, the deadly magic light symbolizing death flashed crazily on the fortress, making people's eyes hurt.
As the thick smoke filled the air, stones and rubble flew, and various violent fluctuations of magic power swept out crazily.
"The attack power is really amazing. If I hadn't appeared, the fortress would have suffered heavy losses, right? It's a pity that I showed up."
Looking at the constant concussive explosions above his head, Lei Xiao, who was squatting beside the arrow tower, narrowed his eyes slightly and looked around again.
Including Huzhang, Lin and Ariel beside them, the Cold Flame Army soldiers on the city wall were all in the same posture, keeping their bodies as low as possible.
And above everyone's heads, there was another gleaming defensive barrier!
It is not difficult to see from this that although the first round of shelling by the Holy Night Army seemed violent, it did not cause any harm to Lei Xiao and others at all!
"This is an absolute defensive barrier called the "Fortress Wall". As long as there is a sufficient supply of magic power, it can withstand all attacks. ”
"This enchantment was activated by the enchantment crystal I obtained in the Eternal Ship. At that time, I obtained a total of two enchantment crystals. One was deployed in the territory, and the other was always with me."< br>
Lei Xiao looked at the gunfire above his head and raised his eyebrows lightly.
"Currently, Hong Ye, Ye Cang and Chao Yan are supplying magic power to this barrier. There is a fifth-level magic and martial arts master and two fourth-level magic masters. In addition, the first With the weakening of the buffer barrier, it is still easy to resist this level of first-order magic bombardment.”
The reason why Lei Xiao did this was because of the plan he had discussed with Bai Lao before.
Lei Xiao clearly understood that although with his help, the fortress's firepower had quietly surpassed the opponent's, if he had used the advantageous magic cannon to bombard each other from the beginning.
So, just like what I saw just now, even though our fire magic cannon has a longer range.
But once the opponent hides in that natural depression, due to the limited angle, the lethality of our magic cannon will be greatly limited, and it will also arouse the opponent's vigilance.
Therefore, the only solution is to let the other party taste the sweetness first and mistakenly think that the defense power on the fortress is completely suppressed.
In this way, as long as the opponent gets carried away and presses hard, he will be completely exposed to the firepower of the fortress.
At that time, it is time for our side to use full firepower.
This is Lei Xiao's strategy, to retreat in order to advance.
"Before this, I have ordered my subordinates to try many times. As long as the "Fortress Wall" is successfully activated, it can change its shape and cover position as desired. ”
"Although this ancient defensive barrier from the human race can only be activated by the strong human race, it does not exclude the supply of magic power by the strong men of other races. This is why Hong Ye, who is a dragon, can participate. ”
Lei Xiao looked at the translucent magic shield flashing above his head and nodded thoughtfully.
Since the "fortress wall" was pressed low, the archery towers that were not covered by the barrier had already been blown to pieces, with rubble scattered everywhere.
Coupled with the smoke produced by the magic bombardment, the sight was almost completely blocked.
Therefore, even if the enemy sends powerful magicians to observe in the air, it is impossible to detect any clues.
After all, from the moment the bombardment started, the energy particles inside and outside the fortress were completely chaotic, making it impossible to sense the number of people.
Just when Lei Xiao thought of this.
Whoosh! boom! Whoosh!
Under the command of Bai Lao, two-thirds of the archers on the city wall and a dozen ordinary first-order magic cannons symbolically launched a counterattack amidst the billowing smoke.
In this way, it will naturally give the opponent who knows the strength of the fortress a false impression, that is, our defense strength has been weakened a lot.
Sure enough, after the first wave of counterattack, even though there were many soldiers of the Holy Night Army, they all fell in a pool of blood.
But the opponent did not stop. Instead, while the first batch of magic cannons was cooling down, they launched a second batch of magic cannons, obviously hoping to take advantage of the victory.
This time, in terms of scale, there are a full 100 doors.
Seeing that the Holy Night Army was preparing to attack again, the Leng Yan defenders on the fortress crouched down again. The arrows in their hands pointed directly at the twin moons in the air and began to scatter into the air at will.
boom! boom! boom! boom! boom!
There was another series of earth-shattering loud noises.
A large number of compressed spell balls continued to fall on the buffer magic circle like meteors falling from the sky.
While causing countless ripples, it directly hit the "Fortress Wall" absolute defensive barrier above everyone's heads.
boom! boom! boom! boom! boom!
Continuous violent explosions exploded above Lei Xiao's head again, almost deafening.
"Although this absolute defensive barrier can completely block attacks, its sound isolation effect is only average."
Looking at the colorful waves rippling above his head, which were as continuous as a violent storm hitting the glass crazily, Lei Xiao curled his lips slightly while rubbing his ears that were buzzing from the shock.
Ariel on the side had a look of fear on her fair and delicate cheeks.
I saw Princess Lengyan, who was on the battlefield for the first time, staring blankly at everything in front of her with trembling stars.
The attack intensity of the Holy Night Army was indeed extremely astonishing.
If the alien guy in front of him, who was no longer so annoying, was not here, then this mountain fortress might really fall.
While her starry eyes twinkled, Ariel couldn't help but cast a complicated look at Lei Xiao that was filled with gratitude and indescribable emotions.
"In addition to two fifth-level strong men at the national level, and many other strong men who are loyal to him, this guy is not only able to take out 300 second-level magic cannons at will, but also has such an exquisite absolute defensive barrier, which is completely It’s comparable to the one in the royal capital’s palace.”
Ariel looked at Lei Xiao's indifferent side face, and her heart was once again filled with huge waves.
"What's even more frightening is that in addition to these being on par with my Lengyan royal family, this guy also possesses an incredible number of fifth-level national-defining magic weapons, which are undoubtedly far beyond the scope of the royal family's collection."
"And what's even more terrifying is, God knows how many unknown trump cards this guy has hidden in his incredibly huge storage bracelet?"
Taking a deep breath of anxious air, Ariel pinched her cheeks subconsciously.
If I hadn't seen it all with my own eyes, I wouldn't have believed it.
With such an unfathomable amount of energy, let alone a lord from another world who has just arrived, even if this guy is said to be the leader of a country, I'm afraid a lot of people will believe it!
"Then again, being able to act with such an unpredictable alien monster is not a bad thing..."
In Ariel's heart, she was in a state of confusion.
As the billowing smoke rose from the city wall, under the command of Bai Lao, only one group of archers stood up to counterattack fiercely this time. The scale was obviously much weaker.
Whoosh! Whoosh!
As swarms of counterattack arrows fell from the sky, the Holy Night Army, which was still approaching, although they fell down a group of soldiers again, they accelerated their pace and began to advance more and more bravely.
Even the long archers and magicians of the Holy Night Army, who had been outside the range of the depression and had not participated in the attack, began to move quickly towards the fortress under the cover of heavy infantry.
"Oh? After two waves of tentative attacks, the opponent finally couldn't hold it any longer and was ready to launch a massive attack?"
Looking at the opponent approaching from the city, a faint smile suddenly appeared on Lei Xiao's face, and he murmured in his heart: "It seems that a good show is about to be staged." (End of this chapter) )
