    Under the rain of arrows from hundreds of archers, the few cannon fodder troops at the front suffered casualties, but they finally made it to the bottom of the city wall.  From this angle, it was difficult for archers to attack them, because leaning out of the battlements and shooting straight down was a laborious and dangerous task.  However, this was not something they should be responsible for in the first place. Lord Toth shouted an order during the shooting interval. A messenger next to him immediately held up a brass horn and conveyed the order with a series of loud and high-pitched notes.  This time, all the soldiers who ran up the city wall had empty hands. They only had a long dagger on their waists. However, they wore full-face helmets on their heads and chain armor on their upper bodies. Their protection was much better than that of other soldiers.  They quickly approached the crenellations of the city wall, then picked up the barrels stacked under the crenellations and dumped them toward the bottom of the city wall.  The wooden barrels were filled with smashed limestone, which descended from the top of the city like white clouds, and then a suffocating coughing sound came from below.  The people whose eyes and lungs were burned by the limestone powder screamed wildly and rushed into each other like headless flies. Even the leader of the cannon fodder unit had to retreat, only to expose himself to the archers' deadly arrows.  Under the rain.  Tomad had already finished shooting the bundle of feather arrows in front of him, put down his long bow, and leaned on the battlement to look down.  No one dared to rush into the area shrouded in white smoke. The city wall was safe for the time being, but the siege tower was slowly approaching and was already less than 200 meters away from the city wall.  This is also the distance that the copper coconut wood longbow of the barbarian archer can reach. The four siege towers that served as temporary arrow towers stopped. Dozens of thick ropes immediately hung down and were fixed to the ground with iron nails to help the towers.  maintain balance.  Then the first orc archer appeared on the wooden box on the top of the tower. However, as soon as this guy showed his head, before he could open his bow and nock an arrow, he was hit in the throat by an arrow from Lord Thoth and fell back without saying a word.  "Good arrows!" Tomad praised loudly. Lord Thoth accepted the compliment with a satisfied smile, and then shot the arrow again.  But this time it was obvious that the God of Destiny did not favor the first branch leader. The feathered arrow whizzed past ten meters away from the tower and disappeared without a trace.  The figures of barbarian orc archers appeared on the top of the siege tower one after another, and they started shooting with the archers of the fortress defenders.  In the next few minutes, sharp arrows pierced the air, and people screamed and fell down from time to time.  Although the archers of the fortress defenders are protected by shield-bearing infantry, the range of the fir longbow is dozens of meters shorter than the copper coconut longbow. In addition, the siege tower has evened out the height advantage of the city wall. This battle of long-range weapons  The battle between them caused Tallon Fortress to suffer a big loss.  Lord Thoth continued to shoot a few more arrows. His steel longbow had a sufficient range, but unfortunately its accuracy was too poor and none of them hit.  The first branch leader cursed angrily and handed the longbow to a sharpshooter beside him, who suddenly had an embarrassed smile on his face.  "My lord, I can't use this If you forcefully pull it, you will injure your arm within two strokes." Lord Thoth's expression is easily reminiscent of some carnivorous beasts, and Tomad can't stand it.  He patted his shoulder hastily.  "Lord Thoth, not many people can use your steel longbow, and I can't pull it." Tomad reminded with a wry smile, "But if there is still stock, Anzanna Bloodhorn and her  His kind can use it, but I don¡¯t know how accurate it is?" Lord Thoth thought for a moment and shook his head helplessly.  "The distance is too far, and there is also the interference of strong wind. If you have not specially trained in archery, your results will be almost the same as mine. The arrows you shoot will not even be found by you." He suddenly pulled out his sword from its sheath, and the sword light flashed.  , intercepted a long arrow that was shot at the messenger beside him, and then frowned deeply.  "This won't work. We are playing too passively." Tomad silently estimated the distance in his mind. What made him feel a little embarrassed was that although the magic he learned through the Dark Elf Castle Magic Tower was extremely powerful, none of it was applicable.  for this situation.  The black fireball is extremely scorching and corrosive, and can easily blow up siege towers fixed on the ground, but its range cannot threaten targets 200 meters away; the range of the ice gun shock is barely enough, but  The damage caused is low, which is enough for a large number of unarmored or lightly armored targets, but not enough for destroying solid wooden towers.  The remaining attack spells also have the same problem. Those with strong enough damage have insufficient range, and those with enough range cannot do enough damage.  Tomad was lost in thought for a while, and he forgot that the protective magic time limit on his body was up. If Lord Thoth hadn't pulled him out when he saw the situation was bad, he would have almost been hit in the arm by a stray arrow.  However, this pull also made an idea flash through Tomad's mind, "Those siege towers have been fixed." He suddenly shouted loudly, "Lord Toth, we are not relying on archers to defend the city.  Yes, where are our alchemy ballistas and slings?" The same goes for Lord Thoth?When he first woke up, he slapped his forehead hard and said, "Damn it, I forgot about it too." He turned around to give orders to the messengers, but saw that the unlucky young man had already had his throat pierced by a sharp arrow.  Holding the brass horn tightly with his fingers, he leaned against the city wall and died.  "Perfect Knight and God of War Rodriguez, may your heroic sacrifice add an important cornerstone to the final victory." Lord Toth hurriedly finished his prayer, took the horn from the messenger's body, and then put it to his mouth  side.  The next moment, a high-pitched sound resounded over Tallon Fortress.  The alchemical ballistae shooters who had been waiting for a long time on the dozens of watchtowers all cheered up and removed the oilcloth covering the ballistae. Then they shook the handles and aimed at the four wooden towers that were shooting out dense arrows.  .  "All aim!" "Don't let our archer brothers laugh at our lack of accuracy!" "Fire!" Accompanied by a heavy whine, the vengeful crossbow arrows shot out from the watchtower, one speed faster than ordinary arrows.  Flying towards the wooden tower of the barbarian orcs at twice the speed.  Several of the crossbow bolts accurately hit the wooden box on the top of a tall tower, piercing the ten-centimetre-thick wooden board, and then tore apart the numerous bodies hidden behind the wooden board.  Screams erupted, the wooden box was torn apart, and the barbarian orc shooter on it fell down with a clatter.  A height of more than 20 meters is enough to kill ordinary humans, but for rough-skinned and fleshy beastmen, it is not a fatal height.  "However, at least in this war, these barbarian orc archers, who were broken into several fractures, are of little use.  Seeing what happened to one of the towers, the orc shooters on the other three towers also began to panic.  Two of them immediately cut off the ropes and retreated under the drag of the wild giant. The last one had a problem when it was retreating. Several ropes had not been cut, and Gang, who was commanding at the top of the tower, became impatient.  Give the order to retreat.  The wild giant pulled back regardless, and the tower immediately collapsed, crashing to the ground with a howl of ghosts and wolves.  Zulu Gritots, the king of the barbarian orcs, moved his white tent to a low hill and watched the bloody battle begin from a high position.  The battle did not go smoothly. The defenders of Tallon Fortress were more tenacious than he imagined, and they were well prepared and had high morale.  The King of Barbarian Orcs watched coldly as the catapult troops threw several rounds of stones, but failed to achieve the desired results. He watched as the cannon fodder troops who rushed forward were severely beaten by bows, arrows and limestone powder, leaving no trace of casualties.  Except for his eyes getting colder and colder, there was no sign of anger.  But when he saw that the four wooden towers he had placed high hopes on were half destroyed, Zulu Gritouzi finally couldn't bear it and cursed loudly, and the obscene words that came out of his mouth made the white guards feel embarrassed.  The urge to hold your ears.  However, the self-control ability of the King of Barbarian Orcs was indeed extraordinary. In less than two minutes, Zulu Gritotz regained his composure and then called out to Dogo the Troll.  "Bring him here, I want to ask some questions." Among the four leaders of the White Guards, Dogo Troll's mind has never been very bright. Now that he is overwhelmed by the fierce battle in front of him, he is even more immobilized.  .  "Your Majesty, please forgive me." He murmured and bent down, bowing deeply towards the King of Barbarian Orcs, "Who is the 'him' you are talking about?" "Idiot!" Zulu Gritoutz said in a particularly cold voice.  scolded, "Of all people, there is only one whose name I am unwilling to speak, because speaking such a weak name would dirty my mouth! Now do you know who he is?" "Ah, of course, Your Majesty.  , of course I know!" Dogo Troll bowed again and left quickly.  In less than five minutes, the strange man in shaman costumes was led over by the leader of the White Guards, and he knelt down in front of the skeletal throne of the King of Barbarian Orcs.  Zulu Gritots looked at the weirdo with disdain, and then spoke slowly.  "I order you to take off your turban, and then answer my question." The weirdo hesitated, and replied in a hoarse voice, "As you command, my majesty." He took off the gray turban that covered most of his face, revealing a  Zhang's face looked extremely pale because he had not seen the sun for a long time.  If Tomad was present, he would definitely blurt out - "Ferrero El Ni?o!"
