Chapter 388 Border Defense War (IV)
A group of crossbowmen composed of wolf demi-humans ran to the edge of the city wall. They had been trained by the First Army.
"Wolf Man, where did you find the mercenaries?"
The corner of Baron Aniri's mouth twitched, why did the army led by Ye Mu have such a complicated composition.
"Don't underestimate them, they are sharpshooters per capita."
Field shouted: "Blast those crawling corpses down!"
The wolf demihuman archers moved neatly and uniformly, as if they were working on an assembly line. They quickly opened their bows and set arrows. They used arrows made of holy light feathers and dipped in purification potions to attack the rotten corpses.
Locust-like arrows streaked across the sky quickly, accurately hitting the crawling carrion. As soon as the power of the holy light touched the rotting corpse, it burst into brilliant fire, which was even more brilliant than the lighting magic of the surrounding magicians.
Most of the crawling rotting corpses did not even touch the top of the city wall before they turned into balls of light and fell down. Only a few scattered rotting corpses climbed up the city wall carrying their injuries, struggling to push away the spears of the soldiers, and the surging soldiers. The soldiers who came fought bloody battles together.
"These wolf demi-human barbarians are very capable. No wonder they have been able to persist for so many years under the attack of the empire."
Aniri curled his lips, drew out the sword from his waist, and took out a shield: "I can handle the carrion rushing up by myself."
"Oh? You actually help." Field was very surprised.
"I'm not fighting for you, I'm just fighting for the Empire."
Aniri burst out with fighting spirit and rushed towards the remaining carrion. As the crawling corpses were besieged and annihilated, the rebels' first regiment of corpses was almost completely wiped out.
"Boom!"
A huge crashing sound was heard, and a ramming vehicle arrived at the fortress gate. The soldiers in the ramming vehicle pushed the battering ram fiercely and chiseled hard into the steel gate of the fortress, making a dull sound like thunder.
Before the hammer could be hammered, the firepower of the magic tower and trebuchet swept away the enemies at the city gate.
Thousands of rebels fell under the firepower of city defense equipment.
"Third level magical skill, Blood Shadow Spiral!"
Veronica dodged the incoming ballistae like a ghost and jumped onto the pile of corpses at the city gate. With a cold curse, he gathered his divine power again, and the spiral lance in his hand began to rotate at high speed. Blood light adhered to it, and the rich smell of blood was nauseating.
"Boom!" The powerful magical skill landed on the city gate.
The movement caused was much greater than that of a battering ram. Thousands of stone powder fell from the city wall, and the steel city gate was greatly deformed.
"Huhuhu~"
In a short period of time, Veronica, who exploded twice, stopped pretending and quickly retreated.
The rebels' second and third carrion legions, as well as the human army, carried a large number of ladders and surrounded the siege tower. They arrived under the fortress gate and began to attack the city.
The city wall immediately fired a large number of bows and arrows, and the climbing soldiers and corpses fell down like rain.
The long-range carrion and human shooters fired wildly at the city wall. Screams of pain were immediately heard from the city wall, and the firepower was reduced accordingly. Although the firepower of the city defense was taking away the lives of the rebels every minute, the number of rebels was terrifying and they could not be killed all.
The soldiers who crowded at the city gate cleared away the debris from the corpses around them, then brought in a second assault vehicle and began bombarding the city gate.
"Very good, the overall situation has been decided."
"As expected of Baron Tulip, the empire's leading genius."
Several senior officials of the Shadow World Sect were standing on a high platform and pointing. Sir Dame shook his robe, sat down proudly, and nodded slightly to everyone: "Gentlemen and ladies, after you take the fortress, you can leave as soon as possible. Rick is saved."
"Several other adults have achieved considerable results." A lady wearing a monocle raised her wine glass gracefully, "I believe that the leader will be able to regain his full physical body soon."
"You have made too much noise, and this time you have sacrificed half of the province. I guess Her Majesty the Queen won't be able to stand you anymore."
Damei chuckled: "When you leave, don't forget to calculate my remuneration clearly. After all, I have staked my future. Miss Aurora, the same is true for the church. Don't forget to settle the remuneration."
"Of course, the Holy Light will protect you." A woman in a white robe nodded, making a prayer gesture with her hands, "We love all the lost lambs equally."
"I'm curious, if the leader leaves the empire, where can he go? To the south to Franconia, or to the west to Dragon Tower?" Dame asked, "It's impossible to go east. I heard that the pagans are vassals. Most of the small countries along the way are still continuing their western expedition.”
"No, this is not something you deacons can know. You just need to continue to lurk in the Griffin Empire."
The priest who previously commanded Styna smiled and stroked his beard: "When the leader comes back, she will become the undisputed queen of the Griffin Empire and end the ignorant rule of the Golden Griffin family. Of course, at that time, the true god will come. , no longer far away”
"I can't wait any longer. I think about it day and night, and I just pray for that day." Damei cut a piece of steak with a knife, "Try it, the steak from the province of the sky. Hey, you said the Grand Duke of Tulip, is this the right name? It suits me very well.”
Before the priest could answer, bursts of heart-rending screams came from the direction of the front line.
"Um?"
Follow the sound and look.
Hot excrement water poured down like a waterfall from the city walls, and screaming soldiers fell from ladders and siege towers.
Just the stench almost killed people. Veronica watched helplessly as fecal water seeped through the cracks in the car and poured into the neck of a soldier. The soldier covered his neck and screamed heartbreakingly: "Kill me, kill me."
After a short while, the soldier fainted on the ground, his neck was eroded.
Many soldiers were scalded to death, and those who were not scalded to death, as long as they were slightly stained, their skin began to ulcerate on a large area. In this era, such a serious infection is almost certain to die.
As for magic treatment?
The magician master doesn't care about the life and death of the soldiers. They would rather spend some effort to save the kitten. Besides, with so many people infected, there are not enough magicians.
The screams of the soldiers frightened the surrounding soldiers and dared not move forward.
"Keep attacking!" Veronica held her breath and said hatefully, "How did they think of such a disgusting method."
Generally, there would only be boiling oil for defending the city. This was the first time she saw boiling dung water.
Field smiled: "Use the corrupted arrows, crossbowmen, and shoot at the opponent's archers!"
The crossbow troops led by Night, holding the cool crossbows, aimed at the opponent's archers and started to fire in volleys.
"What's the trick this time?"
Just as Veronica was beginning to wonder, she saw a torrential rain of arrows pouring down continuously.
The crossbowmen on her side fell like wheat being cut. The crossbow had no armor-piercing ability, but it was aimed at the lightly armored crossbowmen from above, which was almost a massacre.
