    In the central array of Burgundy, the powerful space array can call upon the huge power that exists in space, that thing called the Rod of God However, with the disappearance of Edward, this weapon has also lost its effect.  Although no part of the magic circle was damaged, it could no longer release any power. Therefore, after several repairs, most people had lost interest in it. Only Lao Yangge was still diligently using his free time.  I spent a lot of time studying and trying to repair it.

    The possibility is quite slim As expected, we still have to wait until the lord comes back.

    Yang Ge's resting place is in the mage tower, but now that the whole city is on alert, it is obviously inappropriate to go back to sleep. Fortunately, the turret built on the top of the city is spacious enough, and there are many places in the city wall for soldiers to rest.  room, so he simply occupied one and found a bed to lie down on.

    But he regretted it later¡ª¡ª

    This fortress is completely constructed with the power of stone elements, and the bed is naturally made of stone. Although it is covered with a layer of sheepskin or cowhide, it is still so hard that the old mage's bones are moaning.  Moreover, as people get older, they sleep less and it is not easy to fall asleep.

    But it was inappropriate to go back at this time, so he could only toss and turn and slowly fall asleep. But in his daze, he suddenly heard someone shouting.  What little sleepiness remained was quickly driven away.

    "What the hellare the enemy troops coming in? What are you shouting for?" He looked up and found that there were no windows at all, so he had to get up and shout at the noise outside.

    It¡¯s a pity that the high mage¡¯s anger did not receive any response.  He just needs to collect himself and walk out the door.  Then I noticed that there was no one in the passage, and the shouts were all coming from the end of the passage - orders.  Shouting, human voices were mixed with some weird screams.  Yang Ge's heart accelerated rapidly.

    Fortunately, there were no screams or metal collisions in the noiseit was obviously not a breach.

    "Mage, Your Excellency, the one from the Empire" Climb a few flights of stairs to the exit of the passage. But before Yang Ge walked out of the door, before he had time to raise his head to observe the surrounding situation, a person had already bumped into him.

    "Calm down, you want to become a mage, so you must keep a clear mind at all times!" Yang Ge snorted.

    Ryan's face was red when he came to him.  But after swallowing his saliva, he finally regained his composure: "Your Majesty the Mage, the Empire has sent a large number of troops through the portal, at least 30,000 in number. Now they are sending a large number of gargoyles, which have been deployed over Burgundy.  , the number is unknown, but it is estimated to be more than a thousand, and we have already suffered casualties!"

    "Thirty thousand? A thousand gargoyles?" Yang Ge felt his temples bulging "Are you sure?"

    "Unable to determine the specific number, they launched a large-scale illusion on the camp. The level was not high but the details were blurred. Judging from their array, the observing mage should not have much difference. However, their actions were very  The fast queue is very loose. So I guess most of them are farmers and soldiers used to assist."

    Ryan¡¯s response made Yang Ge nod. Although this young aristocratic young master¡¯s qualifications in magic were not high, he was at least smart and careful.  Over time, becoming a teacher can be difficult.  But it shouldn't be a problem to surpass yourself in achievements.

    It seems that the Imperials are not as easy to deal with as imagined.

    At least 30,000 troops.  Even if they are just farmers and other miscellaneous soldiers, they are already quite impressive. You must know that Burgundy had to migrate on a large scale from various cities to gather a population of more than 30,000.  Moreover, those used to attack the city obviously cannot be farmers with wooden poles and spears.  The kind of untrained people who are driven to charge on the battlefield are fine, but if they are used to attack a city, they will have no effect. They may collapse after a hail of arrows.  As long as you are a soldier, you will not do such stupid things.

    But if they weren¡¯t farmers, where did the Imperials get this number of troops?  Thirty thousand formal troops, even if recruited from all the cities in the entire new empire, would not be easy. The local lords would not obediently submit their private soldiers Could it be that this siege was more planned than he thought?

    But that's of course Although this attack on the city seems stupid to him, after all, they can't all be fools.  In particular, siege operations cannot be handled by some mages who stay in laboratories all day long.

    While talking, he walked up to the turret. Yang Ge noticed that the sky outside the turret had turned completely dark, and the stars were looming in the thin clouds. On the horizon in the distance, the Imperial camp was emitting a subtle light.  Halo - a layer of hazy clouds and mist shrouded it, and the lights were dispersed into a layer of fluorescence, even though Yang Ge'sWith mystical vision, I could only barely notice the black shadow flashing behind it.

    He frowned and wanted to say something, but a scream from the sky interrupted him.

    The lights on the top of the city made everything hundreds of feet away disappear into darkness, but the old mage could see the human-like black shadow in the sky - the human body had a head like a sheep, and the limbs had long hooks.  Claws, a pair of ten-foot-long wings waving on the dark body, faintly glowing magic runes concentrated on the chest, and two deep red gems constitute the eyes of these magical creatures.

    "Send the order, be on strict alert, and hide them all! But if anyone yells randomly again, they will be punished as disrupting the morale of the army! Gargoyles are nothing but trash!"

    Yang Ge stretched out his hand and pressed a sound transmission gem in the turret, letting his voice echo on the outer wall: "Golems that fly with wings, except dragon golems, are all useless! To actually use this kind of thing to attack the city, the empire  The mages are basically a group of warlocks who changed careers Each air defense tower is allowed to shoot. If you shoot down one, I will personally reward you with a gold coin, no, a silver coin! This thing is too simple!"

    "Gargoylewhy is it simple?"

    Ryan's eyes widened - in his memory, the gargoyle was obviously a very scary monster, with a demon-like appearance, tireless strength, an invulnerable stone body and the ability to fly.  It also has a certain resistance to magic, and some mage towers often use it as a guard.  Even powerful warriors will feel a headache when they encounter them.

    "Because this thing can also deal with ordinary people and ordinary castles. This thing can be used to harass archers, but to deal with us hum!" Yang Ge explained impatiently: "You know how to make a golem.  Method right?

    "Put the soul of an element into the puppet, and then give it an energy core as power. Ordinary gargoyles use obsidian, and"

    "Yes, that's why I said that demons that fly with wings are useless." Yang Ge said: "The body is made of stone, so it can't be made too big, otherwise it will not be able to fly.  .The pair of wings have become a liability. The dragon golem is pretty good, it has many attack methods, but what about the gargoyle?"

    Ryan thought for a moment and immediately nodded excitedly.

    Gargoyles lack powerful attack methods - apart from falling from the air to the ground and scratching with the claws on their limbs, they have no other tactics.  But in this way, their thin and large wings entered the attack range. If they were fighting against infantry or archers who only wore armor, it would be okay, but the city of Burgundy.  There are no archers at all.

    There are only repeating crossbows in anti-aircraft turrets.

    "Boom! Boom! Boom, boom, boom!"

    At this time, the sound of metal vibrations was already heard on the city wall!  The huge kinetic energy brought by the steel torsion spring penetrated and tore the gargoyle's hard body like paper.  A gargoyle whose core runes were pierced, or whose wings were torn off or pierced.  In an instant, there were more than fifty!

    The original noise on the city wall quickly turned into cheers.

    The sound of metal vibrating through the cheers.  Not densely packed The repeating crossbows installed at the top of Burgundy City are an improved variety based on the original vehicle supplies.  Since they are used for shooting on the city wall, a certain size is increased to ensure the range. Although this also slows down their rate of fire, it makes it easier for novices to control.  On the first and second city walls, there are at least ten such continuous crossbows per mile, and the crossfire will only become more intensive!

    The repeating crossbow is set up on a stand that can be rotated up, down, left, and right at will. The blessing of magic ensures that the heavy steel can move as flexibly as a light crossbow, and the operator inside will be automatically blessed with dark vision. Near each tower  It is a small fortress for the mage. Not only can it conveniently provide magical firepower support, but it can also add buff spells to the shooter at any time.

    The flying speed of gargoyles in the air is not slow.  But for the shooters who have been blessed with the opportunity to predict the enemy, it is almost like standing still. They even shake the handle slowly and let the steel arrows penetrate the bodies of those monsters one after another without any miss.  And the two hundred feet height that the commander of the gargoyles considers to be 'safe' is unable to protect them at all!

    The steel crossbow arrow is one and a half feet long, and the arrowhead is cast into a very long triangular shape. A small amount of fine gold is added to the steel during casting. Obsidian cannot block it at all, so in the terrifying sound, every breath seems to have a stone statue.  The ghost was spinning in the air and falling down!  Then it hit the city wall with a muffled sound and fell apart!

    Gargoyles have a certain amount of intelligence and can execute more complex commands, but their perception of danger is far slower than that of humans. The command they received was, 'AtFly within a safe distance to harass the opponent's soldiers.  If attacked by magic, retreat.  ¡¯ But this seemingly innocent order has now brought them an almost devastating blow!

    ¡­¡­

    "A gargoyle that was broken by three-quarters? You're talking nonsense!"

    Master Gaia no longer blessed himself with the phantom sound technique, but his voice at this moment almost overturned the roof of the tent He stared at the pale, sweaty mage in front of him, and his raised finger almost touched  When it reached his nose, it seemed as if he was going to use a dissociation technique to turn the other person into dust!

    "This I don't dare" The poor informant trembled, almost daring not to move: "There was no spell fluctuation on their tower from beginning to end, and I don't know how it was lost just  I can only see it seems like it seems like"

    His breathing was rapid, cold sweat dripped from his head, and his mouth and tongue seemed to be trembling. It was not until a long time later that he came to the conclusion: "It seems to have been shot down by an ordinary arrow!" And this sentence seemed to take away his time.  With the last strength in his body, his legs softened and he sat on the ground: "Master don't kill me I, I am just following your orders"

    "Bastard!" Master Gaia's beard was trembling.  But in the end, he didn't have an attack. He just stared at the unfortunate guy angrily for a while.  Then he let out a long breath: "Get out!"

    He returned to his seat without saying a word, lowering his gaze slightly.  He seemed to be deep in meditation - but his livid face and rapid breathing undoubtedly betrayed his mood.

    Although he does not have a deep understanding of war, as a mage he has been on the battlefield several times Naturally, there is no hope of relying on gargoyles to capture a city - this is just a small harassment before the war, and it can cause some damage.  It¡¯s already very good, even part of the loss is included in the calculation

    But how could this be the result of almost total annihilation!  Or was he shot with a bow and arrow?

    That¡¯s not a bird, it¡¯s a gargoyle!

    Even the best bow and arrow cannot penetrate its shell at a distance of eighty feet!  Only heavy crossbows can cause him harm, but there are 300 gargoyles sent out this time, which is one-third of the total!  Don't those Tuni guys have a crossbowman group of more than 500 people?  But even if there were, gargoyles were not fixed targets!  In the dark.  How could it be killed so easily?  Could it be that the mage group in that city has prepared auxiliary spells to give these crossbow archers various beneficial spells?

    "Of course bows and arrows are ridiculous" Division Matthew shook his head and saved some words for his silent colleagues: "Judging from the results of two tentative attacks, I think there is a kind of force field in this city.  It is a large-scale defensive array that can activate an effect similar to the city-breaking hammer spell at a certain distance. Moreover, this effect can be freely concentrated or dispersed, and can defend a large area."

    He glanced at everyone in the tent, but what he gained from them was nothing.  There is only silence.

    This is the central command post of the camp. Those who are qualified to be present are all lords of the new empire, including the three dukes and their adjutants.  With nine noble marquises and viscounts, plus three divisions and two imperial electors, the entire tent was already a little crowded just for the scene just now.  Apparently no one was interested in expressing any opinions.

    Everyone has a tacit understanding and hides their opinions in their hearts.

    Since Burgundy can produce a large amount of armor in a very short time, it is not a strange problem that they are equipped with a large number of crossbows - so there are large-area force field formations and the like.  It's an excuse to cover up failure - it's really ridiculous that a magical creation was defeated by ordinary weapons.  But in essence, it is just the inevitable result of arrogance.

    But there is no harm in this kind of failure At least, I hope it can make those three old guys a little more honest.

    "Three divisions that don't understand war and don't obey orders are simply a burden to a war.  No, it's a disaster!  Who knows how many losses their stupid decisions will cost their troops?  And who should bear this responsibility?  Even though His Royal Highness the Crown Prince can definitely understand the problem and will not pursue it, the loss of soldiers is quite painful for every powerful nobleman.

    "Three masters, if there is such a well, a force field array, how much impact will it have on our attack tomorrow?"

    The silence lasted for a while, and Sukhoi asked.

    Regarding this failure, he was not in the mood to watch the excitement - although these gargoyles were the master's own property, they were also made with the resources of the empire after all. Each one was worth thousands of gold, and now the loss is so greatIt is so large that it also seriously weakens the empire's military force.

    "The impact should not be big." Matthew Division responded: "As long as the plan goes well, we can rest in the city after a few hourglasses. Well, it is getting late, we must take a rest in order to prepare for tomorrow  spells, and your Excellencies, I hope you can do your best to fulfill your responsibilities and lay a solid foundation for our victory."

    He stood up, nodded to everyone, and then, the three divisions walked into a random door and left at the same time.

    "For our victory? Apart from losses, what else did they dare to do? But if they win this time, wouldn't all the credit go to them?" Looking at the disappearing light and shadow of the three old mages, he stood behind Sukhoi  Nicole finally couldn't help but sneer: "No wonder everyone wants to be a mage. This life is so smooth"

    "Nicole, don't talk nonsense."

    The female knight's words triggered a burst of suppressed laughter in the tent, but Sukhoi just frowned, and then nodded to several nobles: "We will also prepare to attack the city tomorrow. I will take my leave now, Excellencies.  ¡­¡±

    "Do you really want to follow their method?"

    As the main force of the attack, the Scarlet Knight's tent was arranged in the center of the camp, not far from the command tent. However, when approaching, some vague and noisy sounds made the female knight raise her head in one direction -  The light of the portal flashed in that direction, illuminating the night sky with a dark red color. The wind was mixed with subtle shouts, shouts, and some sounds similar to the howls of wild beasts.  Her expression changed slightly: "Isn't that too cruel? They are not soldiers, they are just"
