The capital of the Western Empire.

In order to deal with the threat of the Dragon Empire, the entire Western Empire is like a furnace of war, running under high load all the time.

Most of the young and middle-aged men have been forcibly recruited into the army, leaving the old and weak responsible for daily production.

The Scarlet Empress is gambling with the fate of the country. No matter what the final result is, the empire will be breathless for many years.

The main reason is that most of the young and middle-aged men who were forcibly recruited into the army were unable to integrate into normal life, regardless of whether they survived the brutal war.

Just as Gaz and the others had guessed, the Longmian Army's technology had been upgraded, and the limited production of Dragon Crystals was no longer the source of abilities for these special soldiers.

Since the last time she accidentally entered the special space and came out, the Scarlet Empress has obtained something more powerful and with a more stable supply.

She should be very excited to have such technology. After defeating the Soaring Dragon Empire, it is not impossible to rely on this technology to dominate the continent and revitalize the empire again.

But the problem is that the Scarlet Empress is very worried about whether she can survive until that day.

In everything, there are gains and losses. In addition to the newly upgraded technology, the Scarlet Empress also gained more than one powerful ally.

But among these allies, there are also life-threatening talismans.

Vanas has been sacrificed as a sacrifice and is currently suffering torture that is worse than death.

And if she can't win the favor of those adults in the future, the result will not be any different compared to Vanas.

However, those adults have pointed out a clear path for her. As long as she can get rid of the weird silver dragon, then everything she has done can be forgotten.

The Scarlet Empress naturally knew how powerful the Silver Dragon Lord was. She originally thought she had no hope, but she soon changed her mind.

Because the people or forces who have a grudge against that silver dragon are far more than just himself.

Thinking of this, the Scarlet Empress found the piece of paper that said the war would start in one month, and suddenly sneered on her face.

A month? Maybe before that time, some guy will start a fire in the backyard!

The Scarlet Empress made a good plan. She planned to wait until other parts of the Soaring Dragon Empire were on fire before beating the drowned dog.

But what she didn't expect was that before all this happened, Gaz had already attacked her.

It was another ordinary day. The defenders on the Lima Fortress stood guard on the city wall as usual, and some soldiers even dozed off relying on the spears in their hands.

But suddenly an iron ball falling from a high altitude broke this daily routine. With a crisp sound, a familiar huge iron ball landed in the city.

Several soldiers looked there in confusion, but before they could see clearly what it was, their eyes were shrouded in white light, and their ears were buzzing and they couldn't hear anything.

And this was just the beginning. Along with bursts of high-pitched dragon roars and eagle calls, more big iron balls fell from the sky one after another.

Seeing the chimeras, wyverns, giant eagles, and hippogriffs gradually breaking through the clouds and revealing their voices, the people in Lima Fortress came back to their senses.

Facing this sudden blow, these guys quickly hid in the trench-style building while loudly cursing the Dragon Empire for being dishonest.

It was said that the attack would be launched a month later, but now it has only been a week!

After the first round of bombing, even though many of the defenders were not happy, officers at all levels shouted at them and held whips to ask them to return to their posts.

And when they stood on the city wall again, they found a large group of enemies rushing towards the Lima Fortress like a tidal wave.

Judging from this posture, it does not look like a feint attack, and there is a strong momentum that the Lima Fortress will be captured that day.

And the defenders of Lima Fortress were surprised to find that the front rows of the place were carrying huge shields to protect against arrows and other long-range attacks.

This kind of shield is made of hard logs glued and tied together, then covered with a thick layer of animal skin on the surface, and soaked in a large amount of grease.

Although it looks very rough, the cost is high and the effect is very good.

Let alone ordinary arrows, unless a catapult or magic cannon is used, even an ordinary ballistae can't do anything with this thing in a short time.

In addition to this special huge shield, some ogres or wild boars also carry various parts that can be used to assemble large engineering equipment.

As long as the distance is appropriate, they can quickly assemble catapults, ballistas, and even ladders and battering rams on the spot.

In these five years, the people of the Western Empire cannot be the only ones who have made progress.

And at the end of the Dragon Legion, several towering siege towers made people's legs tremble.

These siege towers were already filled with lizard spear throwers or longbowmen of different races.

Right in front of the siege tower, black iron cannons or continuous-firing ballistae were also integrated in advance, providing considerable long-range suppression for the attacking Dragon Legion.

After the Soaring Dragon Legion had completed half of the journey, the Lima Fortress finally fully reacted, and the commander had just climbed up the sentry tower on the city wall.

Seeing such a grim scene through the window, the commander first loudly denounced the enemy's shamelessness, but soon realized the reality.

He grabbed the collar of his personal guard and said angrily: "Let those puppets hurry up and move!"

After the guards left, the commander turned and looked at the monsters below with disdain in his eyes.

monster?

Drink! Later he wants to see which side can really be regarded as a monster!

The commander of Lima Fortress didn't need to say anything, the longbowmen and ballistae were already pouring firepower downwards.

Only under the resistance of those special shields, the effect was really average, but after the ballistae, magic cannon and catapult were put into use, it finally had some effect.

After all, due to the material limitations, those extra-large shields could only withstand five or six direct hits from ballistae, or one or two hits from boulders falling from the sky.

As for high-end gadgets like magic cannons, although they cost the most money, they are also the most effective.

Usually once it is fired, the shield and the monsters behind it are eliminated together.

Before arriving at the gates of Lima Fortress, the Soaring Dragon Legion was almost passively beaten.

After paying a certain price and reaching the city gates, the situation improved.

Because at this time, those towers had already entered the attack range, and many war weapons had been assembled under the city.
