Chapter 822: Strong Attack on the City
Woo woo woo!
As the attack horn sounded, the 3,000 sea clan soldiers at the front began to slowly move towards Shengye City.
Of course, Gervis didn't let them take the lead to use these sea natives as cannon fodder. At this time, they were wearing heavy black armor like the direct guards, and the equipment Gervis invested in them was no different from that of the direct guards.
Five months ago, at the request of the Sea King, Gervis helped Lolita's one thousand sea soldiers forge golden crystal armor, and fortunately later he also equipped the three thousand natives with it.
The reason why the sea tribe natives took the lead today was because they could easily cross the moat and then use sea vines as a tool to climb the city walls.
The sea clan would not originally share sea vines with other clans.
But Gervis seized some from the sea natives, and then got a lot from Lolita's storage space which was like a treasure chest.
Therefore, he did not plan to use siege ladders and other equipment this time, but directly used the vine as a siege ladder.
As the three thousand sea creatures moved towards the city wall step by step, the two thousand direct guards in the rear followed closely behind, and finally came Long Yi and other two hundred and fifty magician members.
"Crossbows are accurate... longbowmen are ready, start shooting as soon as the enemy enters a hundred meters!"
Gallagher stood on the devastated city wall, looking at the more than 5,000 people outside the city slowly approaching, gritting his teeth.
Because the giant crossbow that he originally relied on the most had been almost destroyed.
Fortunately, there were more than 500 longbowmen on the city wall who could attack and kill enemies at close range.
After killing a wave of small fry, they will put the enemies on the city wall, and then the three thousand golden knights will be able to eat these invaders without mercy.
This is the defensive strategy that Gallagher prepared today.
It’s just... Gallagher’s fantasy is beautiful, but the reality is often very bleak.
Gervis had been rehearsing this kind of offensive and defensive battle for three days, and naturally took into account the basic offensive and defensive factors.
As they got closer and closer to the city wall, when they were finally a hundred meters away from the wall, the sea creatures in front suddenly stopped, and then Long Yi and other magicians quickly ran up from behind.
"Everyone, target the enemies on the city wall! Fireball! Ready! Attack!"
As Long Yi loudly gave the order, more than ten seconds later, balls of scorching fire suddenly flashed outside the city.
Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh! Hundreds of fireballs bombarded the city wall like a meteor shower without magic.
"Hmm, it really looks like a rocket launcher mass attack!"
Standing on a high slope in the distance, Gervis saw the scene below the city wall and couldn't help but think of the scene of the "Katyusha" launch in his previous life.
One rocket after another with a tail flame was launched and the sound was naturally terrifying.
Although it has turned into a fireball now, the effect is almost the same.
"This... so many invading magicians!"
"Everyone be careful, take cover quickly!"
Boom boom boom! When Gallagher shouted a warning, the fireball had already hit the city wall, and in an instant the entire wall was filled with exploding flames and rumbling noises.
Fortunately, the soldiers on the city wall were all golden knights and were not stupid. Moreover, because the distance was relatively far, they had time to dodge when the fireball attacked.
In the end, only a few of the divine servants and guards were hit by the fireballs, while most of them were intact and hid behind the parapets.
But although they avoided the attack of the fireball, the siege team below did not stop. Taking advantage of this gap, the sea soldiers who had originally stopped ran directly, and then jumped into the moat quickly with a plop.
Once they entered the moat, the longbowmen on the city walls were helpless against them.
In just over ten seconds, the sea clan soldiers emerged from the other side of the thirty-meter-wide moat.
"Everyone, throw out the sea vines and prepare for battle!"
Arriving at the other side of the moat, the five captains of the Sea-supporting Clan immediately began giving orders to their subordinates.
"drink!"
Following the order, the sea soldiers holding sea vine seeds threw the seeds towards the bottom of the city wall with all their might, and then waited with their weapons in hand.
Crash!
Crash!
As the sea vine seeds fell to the ground, the seeds instantly shone with a faint blue light.
With the blue light, the seeds immediately began to take root and sprout, then grew bigger and bigger, climbing up the city wall at a speed visible to the naked eye.
"This...you traitors!"
The magician's fireball was a threat to the Golden Knights, but it was useless to Galaher, so when he popped his head out and looked at the sea natives in the moat, he became furious.
These guys are obviously also a race in the Land of God's Fall, but now they have surrendered to the invaders and are helping the invaders to attack them.
Crash!
Crash!
However, the seed had been cast, and no matter how angry Gallagher was, it was useless.
As dozens of seconds passed, the sea vine seeds, which were originally only the size of broad beans, had grown to more than 30 meters high and directly emerged onto the city wall with a rustling sound.
"Quick! Pass the order and pour hot oil on it! Burn these sea vines for me."
Because preparations had been made for several months, Shengye City had sufficient supplies for defense.
Now, looking at the vines spreading over the city walls, Gallagher immediately began to give orders.
As an experienced military commander, he naturally knew that the sea vine could not be dealt with by chopping it down, and the only way was to burn it with a fierce fire.
"Yes! Commander!"
When the messenger heard it, he immediately responded.
"Quick! The commander has ordered us to burn these sea vines with hot oil!"
"The commander has ordered that these sea vines be burned with hot oil!"
As the order spread to the entire section of the city wall, the divine servants and guards on the wall soon began to take out cans of hot oil and pour them on the sea vines.
Boom! After the hot oil was poured, it was ignited with torches, and soon the sea vines began to burn fiercely.
"Huh? There's actually such a thing as kerosene!"
Standing on the high slope, Gervis was also a little surprised when he saw the flames coming out of the city wall.
After all, he had never seen kerosene in the Holy Continent.
What Gervis didn't know was that the kerosene used by Gallaher was actually different from what he had in mind.
The hot oil used by Gallagher is a substance secreted by plants. After simple processing, it can become a combustion aid like gasoline.
"Tell the magic team to put out the fire!"
The branches of the sea vine were very thick and full of water. Although they were burning for a while, they were not completely destroyed.
Gervis immediately gave an order to the messenger.
“Woo woo!”
The messenger received the order and immediately blew the horn to send a signal.
"Magician, put out the fire!"
Long Yi immediately received the message from Gervis and began to order the water magicians in the team to take action.
Since Gervis planned to use the sea vine as a tool for siege, he had anticipated that the enemy would use fire to burn the sea vine to solve the problem, so he had already given Long Yi and others the horn order to extinguish the fire.
"Freezing magic!"
"Freezing magic!"
As Long Yi gave the order, more than thirty water magicians in their team immediately began to chant and cast spells.
When the chanting of the spell ended and the three words of "Freezing" were uttered, a strange scene immediately occurred on the city wall.
Wow! Wow! A thick layer of frost immediately formed on the more than 30 sea vines that were originally covered with hot oil and burning fiercely.
If this frost was used to deal with a title knight, even a silver knight would only slow down a little. But now it was only used to put out the fire, and it was so powerful that ice could extinguish the fire.
"Keep casting spells, don't stop!"
At least eighty or ninety vines on the city wall were set on fire, so Long Yi immediately urged the water magician to continue casting spells.
While Long Yi was directing the quick extinguishing of the fire, Gallaher on the city wall had a livid face and a hint of confusion in his eyes.
"God, what's going on? Why are there so many invading magicians and why can they cast different kinds of magic?"
After fighting the invaders for half a year, the natives had gained some understanding of the details of the Holy Alliance's armies.
They knew that among the invaders there was a profession called magician, whose abilities were extremely terrifying.
Fortunately, from what we have learned in the past, the invading magicians are very few, and an army can only have more than ten magicians at most.
But now, not only did Galaher encounter hundreds of magicians, but many of these magicians could also cast multiple types of magic. This directly destroyed Galaher's three views, and he also knew why St. Ann's City was lost.
This team of invaders is amazing!
Dozens of seconds passed quickly, and the dozens of sea vines that were originally burning were completely extinguished at this time.
"Come on, you shameless invaders! I can only use my blood to scare you!"
Although Gallagher was angry at this time, he did not think he would lose.
He himself is a powerful warrior with the strength of a Red Flag Knight, and he has three thousand elite soldiers at his command. He is prepared to give the enemy the most hated attack to wash away his previous grievances.
Woo woo!
As if in response to Gallagher, the charge horn sounded again outside the city.
When the five sea clan captains hiding in the river below heard the horn, they looked at each other and then took out a bottle of potion in their arms.
Gurgle!
Gurgle!
Several people took the potion to their lips and drank it directly.
"Go! The first person to reach the city will receive a reward of 1,000 coins!"
The next moment, the five men threw over the empty potion bottles, and the Shouter was the first to climb up the shore and rushed towards the city wall.
"kill!"
Following the lead of the five people, the other sea soldiers also followed, shouting as they came to the city wall and began to climb up the sea vines!
The sea people began to climb, and the direct guards placed the wooden boards that had been prepared long ago into the moat, and then sat on the boards in groups of three or five.
Under the wooden board, several sea soldiers who had been arranged long ago were quickly pushing the board towards the other side.
All of a sudden, the most intense stage of the siege arrived.
"kill!"
The five sea clan captains were the first to rush up to the city wall. Seeing the densely packed golden knights on the wall, they were not afraid at all. They shouted loudly and jumped into the crowd.
Ding, ding, ding! "Ah!"
After a few people jumped into the crowd, the divine servant guards quickly surrounded and killed them. Several sea clan captains could only quickly swing their swords to resist.
“Huh!”
However, the next moment, they were surprised to find that just an ordinary swing of the sword directly repelled dozens of enemies around them.
There was even one unlucky guy who failed to retreat in time, and his golden crystal armor was directly cut open! After discovering this situation, several captains couldn't help but try to swing their swords again.
In an instant, they finally realized something.
My current strength has increased dozens of times! ! ! "This... is your majesty's medicine..."
Previously, because I was charging, my mind was filled with only the passion and I had no time to think about anything else.
Now that they truly felt this power, they realized how magical the potion that Gervis had asked them to take was.
This is too horrible!
"Get out of the way, let me deal with these traitors from the Land of Gods!"
At this time, Galah had quickly rushed over and squeezed directly in front of several sea clan captains.
"Red Flag Beginner Level Strength!"
When several sea clan captains saw Galaher, they immediately looked solemn.
Even if their own strength increased dramatically, they were not sure whether they could defeat the other party.
"You traitors, die!"
Galah didn't care about their worries. He immediately swung the sword in his hand and slashed at the nearest sea captain.
"kill!"
The sea tribe captain was helpless and attacked with all his strength.
Dang! But the next moment, the result of the two men's clash was unbelievable.
The two men separated after one blow. Although the captain of the sea tribe was pushed back four or five steps by Galaha's huge force, he did not suffer any other injuries.
You have to know that the person on the opposite side is the Red Flag Knight. In the past, if you wanted to kill him, it would only take three or five swords.
"Haha! Long live His Majesty the King! Today I can also fight against the Red Flag Knights!"
"Don't just stand there, all of you. Hurry up and kill the leader of the God's Guard and present his head to the great King!"
After the sea clan captain reacted, endless excitement immediately filled his face and he called out to his other companions.
"Good! Dedicated to His Majesty the Great King! Kill!"
Several other people also reacted, and then they all quickly surrounded Gallagher.
But Gallaher looked as if he had seen a ghost. He had clearly observed several people under the city wall before, and they were clearly the White Flag Knights. How come their strength was now at the peak of the Black Flag?
Moreover, he was on the city wall at this time, surrounded by his subordinates, so he was unable to use his more lethal secret skills.
"kill!"
Gallagher's face was uncertain. Seeing the five opponents attacking together, he could only roar and swing his sword to fight back! ...
"Well, it's almost time! Giant crocodile, it's our turn!"
With the help of a telescope, Gervis had a clear view of the situation on the city wall.
Feeling that the time had come, he immediately gave orders to the giant crocodile under him!
"roar!"
When the giant crocodile heard Gervis' words, it roared, and then its mountain-like body moved and began to charge towards Shengye City.
Boom! Boom! Although the giant crocodile was huge, its speed was unquestionable. Just like the small lizards in its previous life, when it ran, it could even lift three of its paws off the ground.
The distance was more than a mile, and the giant crocodile brother reached the edge of the moat in just a few tens of seconds.
