Chapter 1721: Killing the City with One Arrow
In Baishuangxia City, the officers and soldiers in the city were thinking that the enemy might not fight again today. Everyone also thought that this would be the best, as it could delay it for one more day. What about the Magic Guild? The prism formation that a young mage said can be perfected even more. Just when they were thinking that they could sleep peacefully again after staying up until night, suddenly everyone heard a strange movement in the sky.
"Listen, what's the sound?" At the entrance of the Lower City Council Hall, several generals and officials stood on the stone steps and listened to the strange sounds coming from the sky.
"Is it... thunder?" Barbara next to the Queen was a little confused.
Selena said flatly: "No, it's not thunder. It's..."
Before she could say anything, the light rain falling from the sky suddenly became fierce and rapid, and it rained heavily. Then they saw a huge darkness in the far sky pressing towards them from the clouds. Everyone realized that no matter what it was, it was definitely not something fun, which meant that the enemy's long-delayed attack was about to begin.
"Quick, prepare for war!" Jean Recher shouted.
Storm Nation's cannon, Hushan, quickly turned over and jumped on the obsidian blue sheep tied at the door of the council hall, picked up the rope and galloped towards the station where his troops were stationed.
The other generals also left. Barbara asked the guards around the queen: "Protect your majesty well, I will go..." As he continued to speak, the sky lit up with magical lights. That was the light emitted by the magic shield of Baishuang Lower City.
“The rain in the sky is wrong.” Edric Pat’s servant Clark showed surprise in his usually confused eyes.
Because it was in a state of preparation for war, the city's defense system had been operating at the lowest consumption. At this moment, the rain falling from the sky actually triggered the defensive effect of the magic shield, and the operating magic power increased significantly.
Selena said in a panic: "No...it's coming!"
A few seconds later, a dazzling magic arrow fell from the sky with the entire lake's water volume, and in an instant It was blocked by a strong and rigid magic shield.
The speed and weight of the water pressure are extremely high. In less than half a second, the magic shield in Baishuang Lower City has been running at maximum power, emitting a transparent and dazzling magical light. Just when everyone said at the same time, "Can you stop it?" ’ While thinking the same thing, a huge ‘Behemoth’ animal head emerged from the water shadow at the front of the Poseidon Arrow head that bit the magic cover. Shui Ning roared suddenly, and the magic cover burst. Huge water poured into the city at the speed of the magic cover disintegration. The entire Baishuang Lower City was submerged by the lake falling from the sky.
At the same time, in the military camp of Wang Quanxianjun, everyone from the general and deputy commander to the officers and soldiers were watching this scene. They had been wondering what signal they needed to see before attacking, but now they all understood.
Berwick and Calasias ordered their soldiers to prepare for battle. The black knight Volo led the air cavalry for aerial reconnaissance, and the mad warrior Kate mobilized the artillery troops on the highlands.
Although Baishuang Lower City is on a mountain hundreds of meters high, the city is not steep, but a long and gentle slope. It protects Baishuang Upper City and connects all parts of Midgard. A checkpoint in the city.
Tens of millions of tons of lake water flowed from Baishuang City to the mountain pass, forming flood peaks, mudslides, and disasters that hit everything.
The amount of water came was greater than Fried expected. Even though their camp was built 20 kilometers away to avoid the artillery fire from Baishuang City, the flood from the mountains still started to flow more than an hour later. flowed into their camp. The troops in front of the camp had to retreat under the early warning of the air cavalry, and waited until the water gradually settled before moving forward.
On the way up the mountain, corpses littered the fields. Some were drowned after escaping from the city, some were crushed to death by water, and some were trampled to death. The higher they got to the higher hillsides. The more dead bodies and debris left on the ground. Of course, there were also many people who were lucky enough to survive. These people were injured and lost their fighting ability.
The marching soldiers saw this scene and didn't know whether to be happy or afraid. Or perhaps they should be more afraid.
On the distant mountain, the three of them, the mummy, the gladiator, and the sand dragon, also saw this scene. Before, they were bickering over the unfavorable progress of King Quan Xianjun in the past few days. Sha Jiao coldly mocked Fried's army for being incompetent, while Mummy was struggling to defend Lasha Jiao's joining the gang. But none of them were speechless now.
After a long time, the frowning Sha Jiao said: "These guys have indeed been preparing for the war they said for a long time, and they are fully prepared."
"White Frost City" It’s just a small capital city, and I don’t know what it will do when it faces a real big country.” The mummy who had been encouraging Sha Jiao to join the group instead said something calming. Maybe it was the power of the arrow that scared him. At present, Baishuang City has not been captured, and there is at least one upper Baishuang City to fight. But they can no longer see Baishuang City.
The Queen of Midgard was shocked, frightened, and speechless. Her eyes were straight, her lips were blue, and she was sitting wet on the back of her own guardian flame Pegasus. Next to her were several of her personal guards, all riding Pegasus. They were all rescued by the fourth black dragon. Under the amount of water that was poured down before, it was difficult for others to protect themselves. Only the fourth black dragon could save them.
The fourth black dragon said to them: "You take the queen back to the upper city, and I will go back and take a look." The queen came back to her senses and exclaimed: "My soldiers... and my people, Jean Reaches "Where are the others?" The queen was a little hesitant, but the fourth black dragon seemed to understand what she meant.
"I will try my best to save more people." The fourth black dragon standing on the horse's butt jumped up and flew back to the back of his dark dragon. He put on his sunglasses again and rode the dragon towards the miserable Baishuang Lower City below the mountain.
The sound of artillery fire sounded in the distance. It was the enemy's magic rock thousand-crack cannon and catapults attacking the city. It won't be long before their soldiers arrive at the city. At this time, there is no one left in Baishuang Lower City. Resistance.
In order to counter the enemy's attack on the capital and make room for troops to garrison, Baishuang Lower City had cleared most of its residents before the war began and expropriated their houses. This is not the first time in the history of Midgart. But in previous wars, their ancestors had firmly defended Baishuang City and pushed back the enemy. But this time, the city had already been destroyed before the real decisive battle started.
That arrow and the power of the lake destroyed all the buildings in the city. There were broken bricks and tiles everywhere, and corpses floating in the water. Some people were crying, some were shouting, and some were cleaning up the team, seemingly unwilling to accept such a defeat. The wounded soldier dragging his broken leg was crawling on the ground. The blood mixed with the muddy water and turned into a strange color. More than four hundred mayhem beasts lay dead on the ground under the long stables. They were war beasts brought to the war by the Storm Kingdom after being trained for a long time, but they were all destroyed without even a serious hand-to-hand combat. .
When a group of people dug through the rubble, they found Jean Hussan. He was still alive, protected by his good armor. The officer quickly sent someone to notify Jean Recher, who was organizing the rescue work, and dragged a doctor and nurse over to rescue several wounded soldiers.
In this disaster, only a small number of strong people survived. Most of the junior and middle-level soldiers could not survive under such water conditions. And surviving is a miracle.
Knowing that his brother was still alive, Lei Qie felt a lot more relieved. He did not go to see his brother's injury, but organized the rescue of more people and asked them to run back to Baishuang Shangcheng. He hated, hated everything in front of him, hated his own powerlessness. He was in pain, sad that his subordinates and comrades were separated forever in an instant. The surrounding ruins looked like a nightmare to him. Having experienced many wars, he couldn't believe it was true.
The sound of artillery became less and less and soon disappeared, which meant that the enemy's army was coming.
"Retreat, retreat quickly, the enemy's army is about to attack." When Jean Recher spoke, he saw a golden dragon flying towards this side in the sky. The officers and soldiers beside him who were responsible for rescuing the wounded made sounds of panic. They wanted to escape, but they did not dare to leave without the order of their superiors.
Knowing that they had no intention of rescuing anyone, Lei Qie said, "You go ahead and go back to the last position, but there... it may not be safe anymore."
"Then What about you, General?"
"I..." Lei Qie's eyes were red and he was determined to die.
The people under his command understood his intentions. He was the highest military authority in the country besides the king. Now that the army is gone, he bears the greatest responsibility.
Some officers wanted to say, 'I want to fight with the general,' but the words never came out. It's not that they were scared out of their wits and lacked the courage to fight. This is not fighting, this is dying.
The dragon was approaching in the blink of an eye. The officers and soldiers no longer stayed, but still left their general and fled towards the back mountain behind the city.
Abandoning the general and fleeing is a shame for a soldier, but for an army whose morale has been shattered, dignity is far less important than life. There were also soldiers who decided to stay and live and die with Rachel. Among them were the injured, who had no extra options for escape, and some who really didn't want to leave. My home is gone, my family is gone, life is not as happy as death.
The holy flame golden dragon spits out its anger, burning the injured and disabled people in front of the city who cannot escape. Regardless of whether they are soldiers or civilians, they are all enemies at this moment. On the ground, a beam of light shot towards the Holy Flame Golden Dragon from the left pass of the city. There were actually people manipulating the city defenses to resist. Beric drove the golden dragon to fly higher and found the light accumulation tower built behind the left peak. A golden dragon's holy flame spit out, and the golden flame swept through the trees on the mountain and impacted on the solid light accumulation tower.
This Light Accumulation Tower was reinforced and improved by the engineers of the Magic Union. It was originally used to build part of the prism sky array. However, before the array was completed, the entire Baishuang Lower City was destroyed. This The fortification became a lonely tower.
The Holy Flame quickly burned the light accumulation tower, which was built with special masonry and protected by magic, into a large amount of broken masonry and a pool of red lava. In only two seconds, such a hard-built tower was destroyed.
A figure rushed towards Berwick from the ground. Berwick glanced coldly and saw clearly who was coming: "Oh, Jean Reaches, you are going to die!"
