Faced with an unfavorable situation, Larov chose to retreat to the tower, where at least he had a defensible place. The soldiers quickly stopped marching and soon entered the tower. When the demons saw that the attack was successful, they immediately increased their attack intensity here. The masonry tower was so strong that it withstood two attacks from arcane spells and still did not collapse. At this time, it became a refuge for Atak's army. In addition to the soldiers around Larov, there are also many regular troops and guards here.
This tall tower is like a hut in a snowstorm, giving people hope of life. As long as it doesn't collapse, it will be difficult for the demon army to take another step forward. At this time, more Atak soldiers rushed from the other side. Under Larov's wise decision, the situation here, from the beginning, the demon army attacked the Atak people from the siege tower and airborne location, to now the Atak people rely on the tower and reinforcements to jointly attack the demon army, the situation can be It is said that great changes have taken place, which is not good news for Mr. Lanjie. Countless demon soldiers and demons clung to it like ants, but they could not conquer Tiger Step City no matter what.
"Be careful of demons!" Bastanay was guarding the door. Ordinary Lan Roger soldiers were easy to deal with, but occasionally two or three hellhounds, or various demons and banshees would pop in. Most of the hellhounds have only one head, and their red eyes can only scare people at best. Bastanay only needs to stick his sword into their necks.
But some smaller demons are difficult to deal with. They are extremely fast and powerful. On this battlefield, the most common thing that Bastanay sees is a kind of demon called the "horned devil". This kind of demon is not tall, but has rough skin and thick flesh. The sharp horns on its head are even more powerful weapons for killing people. Like lightning, they rushed in and slaughtered the Atak soldiers.
There are also banshees whose screams are disturbing. Although they are all very beautiful, they also have spiked wings. As long as they rotate, many murderous spikes will fly out.
"I prefer watching 'Queen Sarah and Her First Iron Knight' by the warm fire at this time." Bastanai said vulgarly, "Killing these demons makes my arms dirty. "
"Who doesn't think so?" Bert yelled. He stuck his head out and found that the demon troops who had climbed to the top of the city were held back by the Ataks coming from the other side. So he took the opportunity to rush out and kill several demon soldiers with his giant sword. Before the other party realized that the tower was also full of dangers, Burt immediately ran back to the tower to wait for the opportunity.
"Yes, the crystal ball is a good thing." Little Orava carefully observed the situation outside, "I just watched 'The Legend of Knight Khadgar' a few days ago. It's unbelievable that the photographer actually found a way to record it. A true dragon."
¡°Maybe that dragon also loves knight-themed crystal balls.¡± Jessdown said jokingly.
"This time seems inappropriate to talk about this kind of topic." Lear felt that the tower was shaking violently. "I have to go up and see if there is another arcane mage focusing on this small tower."
"If a few of the crossbowmen brothers above fall down, I will ask the arcane mage to pay with their lives." Bert said viciously.
Leer ran up the stairs. At the top of the tower, some crossbowmen were squatting down, breathing and loading crossbows under the cover of the wall. Some were already dead. The walls had been blown to pieces, and only a small number of people could rest in a safe place, while many more were exposed to the range of the enemy's crossbowmen. Leal raised his head, and a scene that caught his eye appeared.
There are still several demon soldiers on the gargoyles, and they are still performing airborne transportation missions. On the side of Tiger Step City, dozens of Coorg giant eagles took to the sky. On the giant eagle with black and white hair, there was a rider holding a five-meter spear, and a soldier throwing javelins or shooting with crossbows. At this time, the two sides were engaged in a fierce air battle. Since the soldiers on the gargoyle were tied to it and did not carry combat weapons, and the heavy people affected the speed of the gargoyle, the gargoyles fell at first. Some were pierced by spears, and some were hit by javelins and crossbow bolts.
"Air combat is reallyexciting." Lear wanted to find a crystal ball to record everything in front of him, but a bard did it for him. After the gargoyles' offensive was frustrated, the next wave of gargoyles also had fully armed soldiers on their backs. Although the gargoyles are somewhat disobedient, their numbers make up for this small drawback. Their riders are only responsible for throwing the javelins. Disobedient gargoyles will not allow their riders to charge with their lances; until then, they will act on their own.
The giant eagles of Coorg fell one after another, and they suffered heavy casualties. So the giant eagles returned to Hubu City in despair and never appeared again. The gargoyles resumed their transport duties. Their new tactics caused a lot of trouble for the Atak people. No one knew when the enemy would fall from the sky and where it would land.
"Your Highness the Prince!" Druid hurriedly said?The top man ran back and told Larov what he saw and heard. After finishing, he said with piercing eyes, sonorously and forcefully, "Our Atak Empire will also have a strong army in the future." air power. They can do many things that infantry and cavalry cannot."
"For example reconnaissance?" Shi Luo interjected, "In the Orc Empire, the Eagle Men and Swan Men can fly freely. They can know the surrounding intelligence and influence the outcome of a war, isn't it like this?"
"There are even greater uses." Li'er was full of energy. "Your Highness, we can, like the demons, let the Coorg giant eagles carry many soldiers on their backs, transport them long distances from the air, and make sudden attacks. We can also let their riders lead Get on the magic scroll, swoop over, and bomb the enemy These are all great ideas, other empires haven't thought of them yet, and we have to be the first to do so."
"Get ahead" Ralof closed his eyes. He still remembered the extremely humiliating scene in the history of the Solandor Dynasty.
That was several generations ago. At that time, the Atak Empire developed better and stronger dragon-killing crossbows and installed them on a large scale. Soon, the news of this new technology was known to the Reit Empire. They immediately sent diplomatic envoys to the Atak Empire, requesting the trade of blueprints for this highly strategically valuable dragon-killing crossbow. The Atak Empire finally developed better things before other countries, so how could it hand it over so easily? So the king at that time refused without hesitation.
¡°Then¡then the diplomatic envoy of the Reit Empire only said one sentence and asked the king to hand over the drawings. This is what the other party said: "We exchange the seeds of type eight winter wheat." According to historical records, the king at the time, Solandor IX, ordered the Minister of Military Affairs to send the drawings up on the spot and handed them over to the envoys of the Reit Empire. When the king returned to his palace, he dismissed everyone. Others could only hear the unwilling roar of Solandor IX. They could not see the king's expression, nor did they know how shameful he was at that time , how angry.
Of course, the ending is good. After acquiring the eighth type of winter wheat, the Atak Empire successfully increased its grain production by nearly half. With nearly half of the extra food, the Atak Empire was able to launch a successful attack, annihilating 40,000 people from the Megts Empire, and forcing the Megts Empire to use a large amount of food and valuable technology to negotiate a peace.
"This time, we have to get ahead of other empires. Well, that's a good idea." Larov opened his eyes and patted the table. "We will never let others slaughter us like before."
Larov thought of more things. The carrying capacity of the Krug Eagle is commendable. Recently, the Atak Empire has successfully developed a special ballistae that can continuously fire a large number of dragon-smashing crossbow bolts. Vader's idea, Larov, has seen it and it can indeed increase the range of the dragon-smashing crossbow and reduce its winch and weight. . Once Vader improves new weapons and the Krug giant eagles are bred in large numbers maybe there will be a team of giant eagles carrying repeating ballistae, and they will not leave any enemies alive wherever they pass.
Thinking of this, Larov smiled slightly.
"We'd better rush out, otherwise, the city wall will be crowded by demons." Lear looked outside, "They are coming up with more oil and torches, and they may burn the tower where we are."
"Get ready to rush out." Ralof pulled out two weapons. In the dark tower, the crimson Emperor Sword suddenly illuminated the area, suppressing the faint light of the candlelight on the wall. His sword illuminates not only the walls, but also the hope in everyone's hearts. Yes, prepare to rush out. A brief sentence will determine the endless fighting spirit of Atak's soldiers.
After holding his breath for about ten seconds, Larov rushed out: "Atak¡ª¡ª"
"Atake¡ª¡ª" the voices in the tower came and went. The Ataks launched a ferocious impact offensive. Every time Jestang recited a spell, there would be a small commotion in the demon team. For example, the companions beside him suddenly rose up and attacked him; for example, when he saw the noncommissioned officer leading everyone's attack, his body turned into stone; for example, during the battle, his eyes suddenly darkened In this way, as soon as he heard Jessdown's familiar incantation. As soon as the sound was heard, the demon soldiers felt a sense of fear deep in their hearts.
Bert jumped onto the crenel and said, "It's extremely swaying, the remaining clouds are sweeping!" As he shouted angrily, the giant sword swept from right to left, and the siege tower was divided into two. It can be seen that the upper part of the tall siege tower has been cut down, just like a felled tree, and the cut is smooth. There were still many demon soldiers in the collapsed half of the siege tower. Of course, they were all smashed into pieces at this moment. After the siege tower was destroyed, the demon soldiers on the wall realized that there were no reinforcements and no way to retreat, and they suddenly became a little unstable. They began to panic and prepare to escape, but there were Ataks in all directions, and there was no way for them to escape.
With the sword approaching, many Lan Luojie soldiers chose to jump off the city wall.Of course, that is also a dead end.
