Chapter 397 Meat Grinder (please vote, please subscribe)
On the towering high wall of the Black Earth Fortress, the soldiers of the tribe were busy and orderly preparing for war.
They surrounded a huge crossbow bed, a masterpiece crafted by dwarven craftsmen specifically for the defense of the city walls.
Despite its simple appearance, its power cannot be underestimated.
Whenever an arrow is fired from the crossbow bed, the arrow will rotate in mid-air, unfolding an attack surface like a fan of knives.
The power of this kind of arrow is so great that it is like a meat grinder on the battlefield. It will kill you if you rub it, and it will hurt you if you touch it. It is frightening.
Several strong troll soldiers worked together to turn the winch on the crossbow bed.
This kind of heavy defense facility can only be easily controlled by the soldiers of the Troll Clan.
They gritted their teeth, formed a team of four, tensed their muscles, and began to slowly push the dial on the bowstring.
As the winch slowly rotated, a clicking sound sounded.
The bow strings on the crossbow bed gradually tightened under their efforts, like a poisonous snake that was ready to strike, ready to pounce on its prey at any time.
The arrow shaft is made of high-quality wood and has been carefully polished by craftsmen, which not only retains the toughness of the wood, but also gives it lightness.
This carefully crafted arrow shaft can not only withstand strong firing force, but also ensure the stability and accuracy of the arrow's flight.
The arrow clusters were made of fine iron and shone with a cold and sharp light.
The sharp tip and streamlined design all reveal its powerful lethality.
On both sides of the arrow shaft, there is a faint cold light, which is the secret weapon hidden in the arrow shaft.
When the crossbow is fired, these hidden blades will quickly unfold, turning the arrow into a rapidly rotating harvesting tool, and any object it touches will not be spared.
When the bowstring is stretched to its limit, the soldiers will carefully place the elaborate crossbow arrow on top of the bowstring.
Following the commander's order, the soldiers quickly released the winches, and the bowstrings rebounded sharply under the power they had accumulated for a long time, like a dragon that had been suppressed for a long time suddenly released, launching the crossbow arrows on it with an astonishing force. Speed shoots into the distance.
The crossbow arrow pierced the sky like a meteor, drawing a long arc in the air, and then quickly disappeared out of sight.
Whoosh~
The violent sound of breaking through the air suddenly sounded, sharp and harsh, making people tremble.
Su Xiao reacted quickly and dragged Lin Yi to the ground without saying a word.
At a time when a war like this breaks out, anyone who hears this kind of sound should immediately lie down.
The crossbow arrow in mid-air was like a bright meteor, cutting through the tranquility of the sky at an astonishing speed.
What is unusual is that the arrow cluster part of this crossbow is specially designed into two rotating blades. They slowly unfold during flight, like blooming petals, shining with cold light.
As the crossbow flew, the two blades began to rotate rapidly, like two sharp disks dancing in the air.
They shimmered in the sunlight and made a buzzing sound, as if announcing the impending destructive power.
This unique rotating design not only increases the stability of the crossbow, but also greatly improves its penetration and lethality.
The crossbow arrow almost flew over the heads of the two of them.
The next second, the crossbow arrows penetrated the Iron-Blooded Legion's military formation at an alarming speed. The rotating blades flashed with cold light, like two whirlwinds raging through the army.
The soldiers screamed in terror, trying to avoid the deadly arrows, but the crossbows were so fast that they had no time to react.
As the crossbow arrows penetrated rapidly, the soldiers' bodies were pierced one by one in an instant.
Blood spurted out like a fountain, and screams echoed through the sky.
Wherever the crossbow arrows passed, soldiers' bodies fell one after another.
Their armor was dyed bright red, leaving bloody paths on the ground.
When the rotating blade penetrated the soldier's body, it not only caused a huge wound, but also produced a strong tearing force due to the high-speed rotation, making the wound even more tragic.
The entire Holy Dragon Kingdom's military formation was caught off guard by this sudden attack, and panic and confusion spread rapidly among the soldiers like wildfire.
The originally neat and orderly array fell apart in an instant, and the soldiers ran around, trying to avoid the crossbow arrows.
Lin Yi raised his head. There were only a few survivors around him. The ground was littered with torn corpses and internal organ fragments. The ground was dyed red with blood, and the air was filled with a strong smell of blood.
These torn soldiers were not just from the Holy Dragon Kingdom, soldiers from the tribe were not spared either, and their corpses were also involved in this bloody storm. In this cruel battlefield, manslaughter does not seem to be enough to arouse much sympathy or pity.
Now is a state of war, and neither side will show mercy because of this accidental killing.
The people of the Holy Dragon Kingdom clearly had the advantage. In order to reverse the situation of the war, the tribe did not hesitate to use this powerful war weapon to clear the battlefield.
As the soldiers in the Holy Dragon Kingdom position were cleared by crossbows, the tribe's army immediately seized the opportunity to press forward, trying to further expand the results of the victory.
Carlos was no pushover and he would never fight a battle unprepared.
At the order of the legion commander, a group of heavily armed soldiers began to take action.
They launched huge catapults, their carefully prepared secret weapons.
These soldiers pushing the catapults were specially selected. They were tall and tall, more than two meters tall, with strong muscles and great strength.
Don't underestimate these soldiers who control war machines. They played a pivotal role in the cold weapon era.
Controlling these machines not only requires certain knowledge and skills, but also requires a strong body.
Otherwise, even pushing these bulky war machines would be a problem.
After the trebuchet was pushed to the front, these strong men began to get busy.
Each of them held a stone larger than themselves and laboriously placed it on the trebuchet.
"emission!"
Following the legion commander's order, the operator decisively cut the hemp rope tightening the trebuchet.
At this moment, the trebuchet that was ready to go seemed to be released, projecting huge boulders one after another.
Dozens of boulders cut through the sky like meteorites falling from the sky, flying towards the orc army with thunderous momentum.
These boulders drew shocking arcs in the air, and then slammed into the array of the orc army.
Every time the boulder hits the ground, there will be a deafening roar.
The huge impact instantly crushed the surrounding Orc soldiers into a pulp, with blood splattering everywhere, and it was too horrible to watch.
On the battlefield, blood, severed limbs and soil mixed together to form an extremely tragic scene.
At this moment, the soldiers from both sides were completely mixed together and engaged in fierce close combat.
Neither the tribe nor the empire's army can use large war weapons anymore, and both sides can only rely on the most primitive cold weapons to fight.
Lin Yi and Su Xiao also stood up and joined the melee.
Suddenly, two kobold soldiers rushed towards them, shouting and yelling, holding scimitars covered with minced meat in their hands.
The eyes of these kobold soldiers were red, and they were obviously in a crazy fighting state. They waved the scimitars in their hands desperately, trying to kill the enemy.
As he rushed over, the kobold soldier's left arm swayed irregularly, and his half-cut left arm could be seen through his sleeve.
But at this moment, the kobold soldier no longer cares about this. He has only one goal, which is to kill all the empire's troops and avenge his brothers and sisters.
The Dragon-Slaying Flash was lying in front of him. Su Xiao took a step forward, and a dazzling sword light flashed across the Dragon-Slaying Flash in his hand.
With a "swish" sound, the scimitar in the kobold's hand was cut off instantly, and the kobold himself was also cut into two pieces.
He didn't even have time to scream before he fell into a pool of blood.
Lin Yi was not to be outdone. The black and white rose appeared in his hand. With a flash of sword light, several deep wounds with bone visible appeared on the kobold soldier's chest, and blood spurted out.
The severely injured kobold soldier lost his balance while running, fell heavily to the ground, and never got up again.
[You kill the low-level infantry of the tribal army: the kobolds. 】
[You get 10 points of paradise coins. 】
