Chapter 460 The attack begins
Logically speaking, siege warfare is a very arduous and time-consuming task.
But for Kriolev, he knew that he only had four days!
That's right, in four days, the Iron Giant will arrive at the Bonn Fortress. By that time, with the powerful firepower displayed by the Iron Giant, it will be impossible for him to break through the Bonn Fortress. Therefore, these four-day sky window period is the only chance. !
Kriolev didn't have a good solution for this. Fortunately, although Bonn Fortress has the location of Hulao Pass, it is not as strong as Hulao Pass. It was just an ordinary transit military fortress in Hermann, so the original defense facilities were not sufficient, and the city walls were not high or thick.
To put it simply, Bonn Fortress is more like an enhanced version of a copycat, but it is still lacking compared to the border fortress. Originally, this was Kriolev's biggest shortcoming, but now, it has become his only advantage.
If Bonn Fortress was more formal...then he would only be in despair.
But now, there is finally a chance.
"Notify everyone to prepare. From now on, I require all the troops of the First Army to launch a continuous attack on the Bonn Fortress. Be sure not to give them time to rest. At the same time, I want you to send 3,000 people to cross the Cliff Mountains. , penetrate from behind and attack their supply troops! At the same time, send people to the rear fortress to move their..."
Speaking of this, Kriolev lowered his voice and whispered a few words to Karl. The latter was stunned for a moment, and then nodded.
"I understand, my lord."
"Okay, let's take action."
Time was tight and the task was urgent, but it was not true that Kriolev had nothing to do.
After all, before coming here, Kriolev had conducted a very detailed study of the Bonn Fortress. At that time, he originally hoped to transform the Bonn Fortress to resist the Inquisition. But now that offense and defense are swapped, it doesn't mean that the information Kriolev learned before is useless.
First of all, the Bonn Fortress itself is not large and can only accommodate 3,000 soldiers at most. Moreover, during this period, the scouts he sent to the front line did not receive any information that the Fourth Army mobilized a large number of personnel to the Bonn Fortress, which means that the opponent is very difficult. It may be that a small number of elites suddenly raided the Bonn Fortress using some unimaginable method. Of course, considering that the Bonn Fortress was killed without even giving a warning, it shows that this group of attackers is very powerful, but their number must not be large!
In this case, then use the human sea tactic to fatigue bomb them!
The walls of the Bonn Fortress are not high. As long as you use rockets to attack, you may be able to hit the fortress directly!
Soon, the First Legion also began to take action. The first ones to be dispatched were naturally thousands of archers. They held lit rockets and shot them at the Bonn Fortress in front of them. Then they saw streaks of fire streaking across the sky toward the Bonn Fortress. Shoot to Bonn Fortress!
I have to say that Kriolev’s idea is indeed good. The walls of the Bonn Fortress are only three meters high and cannot stop a large-scale attack. If these rockets are fired into the fortress and cause a fire, then no one will care about the opponent at that time. No matter how strong you are, there is only one way to escape. He didn't think anyone could block such an attack!
But... Next, a scene appeared that stunned Kriolev.
He watched those rockets shoot up into the sky, and then fall towards the Bonn Fortress under the influence of gravity, and then - just as these rockets fell, suddenly a colorful, like giant circle appeared in the sky above the Bonn Fortress. The curved glass-like barrier directly blocked these rockets!
“…………………???”
Seeing this scene, Kriolev was confused. He turned his head in surprise and looked at the adjutant beside him.
"What is that?"
"I think...maybe it's magic?"
"Can magic do this??"
As Hermann's general, Kriolev certainly knows about magic. Magicians do possess barrier magic, but the range of barrier magic is very limited, and it must be used by a powerful magician, otherwise it will be useless at all. .
Can the barrier magic cover the entire fortress?
What a joke!
"I heard that the Kingdom of Seth has sent people to join the Tribunal. Maybe it's their ability?"
"Isn't this...impossible? If Seth had this ability, he wouldn't have been forced by the demon army to the point of almost annihilating the clan."
Kriolev shook his head. He naturally paid attention to the fall of Seth a year ago. After all, everyone is a country that faces the demons head-on. Of course, Kriolev would not accept the invasion of Seth by the demons. Probably don't care. But he was certain that Seth didn't have this ability at that time. If he had this ability, Seth wouldn't have been beaten so badly.
In fact, just as Kriolev thought, Seth did not have the ability in this area.
But——Manalia has it!
Also as a magical country, Manalia is several levels higher than Sissana. Indeed, as Kriolev knows, even if ordinary magicians can use barriers, the scale is not large, and it also consumes a lot of magic power. But that's just a magician who is limited to this world. For the magicians in Manalia, this kind of protective barrier is a basic operation.
You must know that the royal city of Manalia was attacked by the evil dragon Fafnir. The latter hit the city wall and was blocked by the barrier. You can see how high Manalia's attainments in magic are. .
To put it bluntly, the gap between Manalia and Seth is basically the same as the gap between a full professor and a junior high school student.
Seth's magician couldn't create a magic barrier like this even if they tried hard, but An and Gu Leiya took Hannah and a few graduates to do it casually and built it directly.
Anyway, it's just for temporary use, and it's not meant to be permanent.
For them, this is just as difficult as a midterm exam.
But for people in this world, it is unimaginable.
"I really can't imagine that magic can actually do such a thing..."
Standing blankly on the city wall, looking at the colorful barrier above his head and the flaming arrows that were blocked, Uruze couldn't help but sigh. Although she does not know magic, as a person born in Seth, Uruze still understands magic very well. At least in the Kingdom of Seth, although magicians are powerful, they also have their weaknesses.
For example, except for a very small number of level 3 magicians who can use powerful group attack magic, other magicians use magic that can only attack people, and they are also very common spells.
But Manalia's magicians completely overturned Uluze's impression of magicians. In their hands, magic is truly ever-changing and feels like an incredible miraculous existence.
And...how to say...
Thinking of this, Uruze couldn't help but look at Manalia and his party standing not far away. These magicians...well, they all have their own personalities.
"Is this, this, this barrier... really no problem? Do you want to strengthen it one, one, one more...?"
Wearing a huge witch hat that could almost cover half of her body, a girl with brown-red hair grabbed the broom in her hand uneasily, stared at the battlefield in front of her, and murmured to herself.
"Don't worry, Anna."
And soon, another girl next to her, dressed like a magician, holding a hat and cane in her hand, chuckled and spoke to comfort her.
"This was designed by the two princesses themselves, so there will definitely be no problem."
As she spoke, the top hat in the girl's hand flipped over, and a cluster of flowers suddenly appeared from it and was delivered to the red-haired witch.
"Come on, don't be so nervous, don't worry, we won't lose!"
“Ah…………Hmm…………”
Hearing the magician girl's comfort, the red-haired girl seemed to be relieved and nodded.
"Don't worry!"
At this moment, another blond girl dressed like a noble raised her staff proudly and pointed forward.
"With my genius magician Elsa here! These enemies are no match for me! As long as they dare to fight, I will let them know how powerful I am!"
"Okay, okay."
Just as the graduates of Manalia were excited, the blond woman standing behind them smiled and clapped her hands.
"This is just the beginning, don't underestimate the enemy? Don't forget that your battles were not very successful a few days ago. Don't make similar mistakes again?"
"Oh...I know, Teacher Milan..."
At the same time, Kriolev also discovered that bows and arrows were ineffective against the opponent. At this time, there was only...
"Attack!"
Soon, following the veteran's order, under the cover of bows and arrows, the soldiers of the First Legion raised their shields and rushed towards the fortress in front of them.
And everyone on the city wall naturally saw this scene.
"Okay, then let's see how long you can resist each other. Who comes first?"
"Of course it's me, the genius magician Elsa!"
"Why should you come first? I should be allowed to come here, the flower from the sky - Elena Gululia, let these people see my strength! Let them know that flowers do not just bloom in the sky and the earth, but also in the sky and the earth. You can show your brilliance everywhere!”
It’s no wonder that the girls are so excited. After all, going out to fight this time will be included in their graduation assessment. Who doesn’t want to get an excellent grade?
Watching the quarrel among the people, another girl next to her holding a hand that looked like a steel meteorite sighed silently.
"No matter what, it's fine. Please don't destroy the fortress anymore. It will be very troublesome to repair..."
Beside her, several square-shaped robots with wheels were running around, repairing the holes in the walls of the fortress.
"Hey..."
Looking at these troublesome students, Milan sighed helplessly, and then she looked at the blond girl standing quietly next to her, wearing a silver-gray robe and a hood.
"Then, let's set an example for everyone first."
"Okay, teacher."
Hearing Milan's words, the blond girl nodded, then she came to the edge of the city wall and looked at the Hermann soldiers not far below who had approached the city wall. Then the girl reached out and took out a box of strange-looking matches from the basket held in her arm.
These matchboxes are all rectangular, but the matchboxes are inlaid with gems of different colors. The girl stretched out her hand, took out a match, stared at the battlefield ahead, and took a deep breath.
"The perfect phantom will also surpass reality... Phantoms are also alive."
As she spoke, the girl lightly struck the match.
With the flash of fire, the next moment, countless dark figures suddenly appeared among the Herman army advancing below!
