Chapter 250 Corpse Mountain and Lost
The day and night siege has continued for a day and a night, and the corpses under the city have been piled up to one-third of the height of the city wall.
Even if corpses are burned day and night through magic, the stacked bones can still be used as a stepping stone to attack the city wall.
The intact walls are full of slender holes, all caused by the attackers among the followers of Chaos.
These creatures, whose hands and feet have been replaced with swords, can easily pierce city walls and effortlessly climb huge walls of tens of meters, let alone walls of only ten or twenty meters.
However, under the tight defense of the fortress defenders, they failed. Whether it was the spearheads emerging from the shooting holes, the scalding hot water poured from the city walls, or the spells of the mages, these attackers were unable to succeed.
The efforts of the city residents were all in vain, and eventually they became mutilated corpses, falling on the mountain of corpses that was getting higher and higher.
Carter, who came to the front line from time to time, had to often stand on the edge and cast dragon fire downwards in order to prevent the mountain of corpses from forming a plague.
The mages all serve as human batteries at the top of the turret, so this dirty work can only be done by him.
And compared to the elf mage who has to stand still when casting large-scale spells and is easily attacked, he who can move at any time while releasing ninjutsu is obviously more suitable for this kind of operation.
"Huh... let's just say we lost 20,000 to 30,000 men. Why is the number not decreasing at all?"
Carter, who stood at the top of the city and let his cloak flutter in the wind, looked at the Chaos army in the distance with his hands on his hips extremely arrogantly, not paying any attention to the unknown wave of enemies that were charging in the distance.
"It's time for some serious action. It would be too disrespectful to rely on fatigue tactics to win."
Carter, who could not figure out the opponent's thoughts, continued to stay at the top of the city as a statue. The magic turret above his head kept bombarding, making the battlefield in front of him pockmarked. The day and night of fighting had already made even the most timid recruits.
They have become accustomed to the battlefield, and the broken limbs and broken arms flying in the sky can no longer scare them.
Since possessing the Deceiver Ring, Carter has become more and more unscrupulous in using the Sharingan, but even so, he didn't find anything wrong.
However, the dark situation under the lamp happened to him.
A bloodletter who was hiding under dozens of corpses crawled out bit by bit.
The red skin is covered with black runes, which are isolation runes from subspace that can make the user immune to fire damage. The ashen color on its face, like a corpse, proves that it has been ordered
Some kind of special magic allows it to survive even in the extreme lack of oxygen in the fire.
In continuous attacks throughout the day and night, tens of thousands of Chaos followers died in order to cover its whereabouts and provide enough 'fuel' and bunkers for it to hide.
At this time, the time is ripe, and the special energy contained in the surrounding corpses is enough for it to implement the plan.
Although only the bones of the dozens of corpses have been burned, more than half are still wearing heavy plate armor, so the bloodletters climb very slowly, and new members join the mountain of corpses from time to time.
After a long night, it finally climbed out of the mountain of corpses holding a javelin more than one meter long and densely engraved with evil runes. It stuck out its tongue and looked at the elves on the wall with a grin.
Then without any hesitation, it raised the javelin high and twisted a mechanical mechanism on its tail.
The javelin exuding an evil aura, like the center of a whirlpool, began to fiercely absorb the surrounding wind of death and the overwhelming evil spirit.
Globs of red-black substance that was so thick that you could almost touch it with your hands were pulled out of the corpse.
The whole process only lasted less than four or five seconds. The javelin in the bloodletter's hand had already gathered enough energy, and it hit the city wall in front of him before it was discovered.
At this time, the mages who had just sensed the gathering of a violent wind of death were just about to report the incident, but it was too late.
A small red-black sun appeared the moment the javelin hit the city wall and shattered. The three- to four-meter reinforced city wall was directly blown into countless fragments under this attack that sacrificed tens of thousands of flesh, blood and souls.
The dozen or so soldiers stationed inside didn't even have time to scream, before they were torn to pieces by shock waves and energy attacks.
The earthquake was felt throughout the fortress, not to mention the Chaos army just five kilometers away. They had been waiting for this chess piece to work. After seeing that a section of the city wall was blown down, they immediately dispatched the army of behemoths that had been waiting for a long time.
More than three hundred behemoths of various colors charging at the same time are absolutely unstoppable, not to mention that they are carrying a large number of Tzeentch and Chaos casters on their backs. They are constantly competing with the elf mages in the city for the wind of magic.
control, and disrupt the formation of their spells, preventing their magic from repairing the collapsed walls.
…………
"what happened?"
This was the first thought that flashed through Carter's mind after flying into the sky on a clay plane.
Standing on the top of the city, he was caught off guard by the power of the explosion shock wave and was blown more than ten meters high.
Fortunately, he was not injured. After reacting, he controlled his body and turned around to look down. The collapsed city wall was noticed immediately.
"No wonder..."
The almost solidified black wind of death energy was nowhere to be seen in Carter's eyes. Although it had exploded once and dissipated a lot, the black energy at the fracture was still overwhelming in his eyes.
In order to avoid seeing his flying soldiers and misunderstanding that he was killed in battle, Carter quickly adjusted his position in the air several times, quickly fell downwards, and landed steadily on the top of the city dozens of meters away from the original place.
"Legion Commander, that section of the city wall has collapsed!"
"What to do! Shall we continue to guard?"
Both the inner circle and the outer circle, soldiers and officers, all looked at the supreme commander present.
"Kane, the God of War, is protecting us, don't panic! Continue to stay at your post. Those who leave without permission will be treated as deserters and defectors!"
After stabilizing the morale of the troops a little and allowing them to continue preparing for a counterattack, Carter contacted Apupang and the remaining mage behind him through the magic crystal.
"Can we use temporary magic to build an earthen wall?"
"I've asked, but the mages tried their best and couldn't suppress an equal number of Chaos lackey spellcasters. No large-scale spell can be formed in a short time. Unless the enemy's spellcasters are eliminated instantly, it will take at least half an hour.
Only in such chaotic energy fluctuations can we establish a stable large-scale spell!"
After hearing Apupang's reply, Carter lightly punched the wall and left a fist mark.
"General Carter, the first city wall could have been abandoned. Follow the pre-war plan and evacuate the soldiers to the second city wall. Our dragon allies can buy us some time."
As soon as Apupang in the communication crystal finished speaking, five huge figures briefly covered the city wall and then rushed towards the army of giant beasts in the distance.
Whether in the air or on the ground, the proud dragons will not give up their dominance, and they will not show any mercy to these reptiles who dare to challenge themselves.
A wall of fire composed of dragon breath temporarily blocked the charge of the behemoth army. No matter how thick-skinned or thick-skinned the creature was, it would not easily touch the dragon fire. This was an instinct engraved in genes for tens of thousands of years.
"That's all we can do, arrange a response staff immediately!"
“Ding ding ding ding!”
After speaking, Carter sounded the alarm, and the elf soldiers who heard it immediately fired down from the top of the city wall according to the method they had trained before the war. Although they were a little panicked, they were still in order. A few of the guys who had lost their minds were
He was blocked by the veterans early on.
In order to avoid the blockage of ground passages, the fortress established complex underground passages to facilitate the transport of troops and supplies. When necessary, they could even use these underground passages to reach the enemy's rear to launch a counterattack.
Although the dragon is powerful, it is impossible to guarantee air superiority around the clock. Flying units always have stronger mobility and harassment capabilities than ground troops.
At this time, these underground passages have become the key to evacuation.
