Section 194 Setbacks

A shocking explosion sounded, suppressing all the noises of the entire battlefield. Then there was the second and third sounds. Although in an absolutely safe position, the Chaos Wizards were still shaken. Even the Wizard Lord's own ears were buzzing.

The siege tower in the distance has been turned into pieces. The attached magic on the siege tower blocked the flames, but it could not withstand the power of gunpowder burst. Just when the defeat was not defeated, the southerners threw barrels of gunpowder into the siege tower. The siege tower - as everyone saw before, was burning with a raging flame.

This can be said to be a fatal blow, which directly cut off the attack momentum of the Chaos Army. The follow-up troops were blocked by the city wall. No matter what bloodthirsty impulse was burning in their hearts, at least the cold stone wall made them helpless. As for the vanguard troops, it was even worse. Without the follow-up troops, their offensive weakened rapidly, and they were trapped at the top of the city in a blink of an eye, besieged by the overwhelmingly superior enemy, and it was only a matter of time before they were eliminated.

"Beautiful trap." Ma Wen exclaimed softly. Only he had long noticed the other party's plan. Having said that, perhaps only the muscleless guys who were terrified and had no brains could not see this trap. Southerners are good at using gunpowder, which is common sense. Their dangerous weapons called cannons rely on the power of gunpowder. So how could those siege towers stand there for so long? They have enough time to add fuel to fire, don't they get the time to get the gunpowder? This trap is really not very clever. If Ma Wen was a general, he would never have been fooled like this.

But, after all, this time he is not a general, isn’t he?

In the field, the desperate pig clash of the terror believers is indeed quite powerful. Sometimes this crazy offensive that does not require a brain is even more difficult than those carefully arranged conspiracies. However, in the field, siege is a completely different thing. The remaining terror warriors on the city wall are still fighting wildly, but no matter how fierce they are, the balance of victory or defeat is still inclined to the defender side. This is the advantage brought by the number. One of the Chaos warriors on the city wall dies less, while the defenders have enough troops to supplement the losses.

Without the siege tower, the defenders began to use asphalt and gunpowder to deal with the powerless Chaos warriors under the city. No matter how stupid the Lord of Blood Tooth was, he knew that this wave of offensive had completely failed. A signal of retreat came from the Chaos position, and the unwilling Chaos warriors began to retreat. The battle at the top of the city continued, but there was no suspense about the outcome. The southerners had changed the previous melee and turned to the neat spear array to deal with the enemy. The remaining Chaos warriors were forced to a narrow corner by the neat spears, and it was only a matter of time to destroy them.

If the offensive and defense exchanged, the Chaos Army came to defend the city and the southerners attacked the city, then this failure would probably have a fatal blow to morale. A southerner general can only call gold to withdraw his troops for the time being, at least there is no way to continue the attack today. But for the Chaos Lord, he didn't care about the losses at all. All he cared about was the damage of the siege equipment, which made the attack completely impossible.

Marvin could even imagine the Blood Tooth Lord being furious at this time.

This wave of offensive caused losses to hundreds of people, most of whom were believers of terror. However, in fact, the defenders of the southerners did not have a good time. Although they won a small victory with clever traps, when it comes to casualties, the defenders were actually similar to the attackers. This is because the assaults of the berserkers just now were too rapid. Although overall, this was a cunning mobilization of the defenders, in fact, due to the rapid attack, many defenders, especially the musketeers, had no time to retreat, and even caused encirclement, causing huge casualties.

In terms of offensive and defensive situations, the defenders won a small victory. In terms of soldiers' casualties, both sides were half a dozen. In terms of morale, the defenders suffered a bigger blow.

Fortunately, the Blood Tooth Lord did not send someone to find Marvin again, so he saved time to explain and observed the details in the city with peace of mind. After the battle, the entanglement of magical war between the two sides began to slowly subside. According to Marvin's judgment, the defenders in the city - at least on this wall - had about ten magicians.

In Marvin's experience, this is enough.

Perhaps the total number of magicians owned by the southerners exceeded that of Chaos, but on the one hand, the magic was just some fur, purely pediatrics, and on the other hand, the southerners chose to stick to their bases. This strategy itself means that they must disperse their troops and evenly divide them into castles. Therefore, in a simple battle, the magical power of the Chaos Army has advantages in both quantity and quality.

Of course, that must be on the premise that Marvin is willing to give full play. If he doesn't give full play...well, the magic confrontation between the two sides just now is the result.

He then felt a strange magic wave. The magic wind was vibrating slightly, just like the kind of ripples produced by a small boat being placed in a big river. It was difficult for southern magicians to detect this magic wave. Even if they noticed it, they were powerless to interfere and destroy. However, Chaos Wizards were different. Although their learning path was cruel, they pointed directly to the origin of magic.

"Sir." A subordinate approached his wizard lord. "They are conducting magical communication, and they are most likely asking for help from the rear... to disturb them?"

"No." Ma Wen ordered the wizard nodded to show his order.

"Don't worry about them." The wizard lord smiled. "This is what we want. Apply pressure steadily, weaken the defense force bit by bit, but it cannot be broken immediately... I have to give them a wrong judgment... Those southerners will definitely be fooled!"

That's right, this is just a game of chess. Only him, and his master Tsengqi, are the chess players. The others are chess pieces without knowing it.

"By the way, is there any news from Sagas when I went out to do business?" Marvin asked a subordinate.

"The magician of the Southern people... seems to have exposed her tricks." A Chaos wizard who was stepping on the magic plate replied. There was obvious disdain in his voice, but this "disdain" was not aimed at the wizard lord. Having said that, basically all Tsengqi wizards were quite disdainful of Slaanes' methods. "What she said... the plan to control the supreme commander of the Southern people was also ruined."

"Oh, they finally revealed their true colors." Marvin smiled and touched his beard. This was an action that he only had when he was in a good mood. The hidden thread he set was not in vain. "Where is that woman... Sagas himself?"

"Escaped back." The subordinates reported. "But I heard that it was repaired thoroughly. There were legends everywhere that she had lost the favor of Prince Huanyu. According to reliable news, she was planning the next plan to save Slaanes' favor. However, the southerners did a thorough job, and a large number of religious leaders joined in and searched in a large number of hidden threads. The legend said that the Blood Tooth Lord was happy to see it. If these rumors were true... then that woman would probably be finished or to re-enter the camp. However, even if she re-enter the camp, she would probably not be able to sell any good prices."

"This is hard to say." Marvin couldn't help laughing. "There are saying that terror wants a female Chaos Lord as an embellishment."

This is actually very interesting. The doctrine of terror is not suitable for women no matter which side of the matter. Well, if a woman is a believer of terror, then it must be the type that is no different from a man. Basically, whenever "believers of terror", people's minds are outlined with the image of a man wearing armor, holding a battle axe in his hands, and having a developed muscle and murderous aura.

But what's fun is that there are rumors that terror hopes for a female Chaos Lord. Because of this, terror seems to be particularly generous to female believers. Unfortunately, there is indeed a natural physiological difference between men and women. Regardless of whether the wish for terror is true or false, at least so far, no one has heard of such a female Chaos Lord under the command of terror. On the contrary, there are many women with high status under the Prince of Huanyu or the Lord of Deceit. This is mainly because the talent of magic has nothing to do with men and women.

Of course, the rumors about this "bride who abused terror" are just a rumor so far, which is a groundless and groundless trend. Even believers who abused themselves may not believe this. So just talk a few casually, Marvin changed the topic.

"What... what is the situation of the supreme commander of the Southern people?" asked Marvin. "I remember his name seems to be Rafa. Yes, yes, Rafa, General Rafa."

"I'm still alive. But sir, you know that Sagas's methods will exhaust the target's energy, and I'm afraid he can only lie in bed now."

This conversation was very public, and no one deliberately lowered his voice. If there was a spy present or a special eye, he could only see some normal conversations. All information was within the scope of permission. Not to mention a spy, even if the people they talked about were present, they would never be able to find any mistakes.

"Rafa...can't command the battle anymore?"

"This is certain," replied the subordinate. "This means that before they send a new general, they may not be able to organize a counterattack. We can temporarily rest assured to attack the city without worrying about the threat behind it."

"Very good." Marvin ended the conversation. He turned around and observed the city wall again, or he looked like he was observing the city wall. Only by observing carefully can he see that there was no smile or joy on his face. Not only that, his expression became increasingly ugly.

"Well... dead... all dead? What's going on? What happened?"

Through some unexplainable link, external information kept flowing into his mind. I don’t know what was going on, but the move he had painstakingly arranged seemed to be completely finished.

"The Southerners noticed it? It's impossible... Even if they caught one by chance, they couldn't find anything. Was it accidental? Or was it because of some kind of... other forces intervened? It seems that they can only use the force to fight..."
