Chapter 235 The Ballista of the Dwarves (a New Update!)

Chapter 235 The Ballista of the Dwarves (a new update!)

The ballista is a relatively common large-scale war machine, and it has a very complete promotion system.

Its lethality will fluctuate with the type and level of the ballista.

Relying on the sense of threat feedbacked by his intuition, Yi Qiu estimated that the ballista level of the dwarf fortress should not be too high.

Advanced ballistas can launch extremely lethal attacks against low-level white dragons, and can achieve considerable armor-piercing effects on heavy armored units.

Of course, this kind of ballista is not something that ordinary people can control.

For the driver, this ballista has very strict requirements.

Like general-purpose large-scale war machines, there are corresponding advanced occupations.

As for the ballista, there are advanced ballista masters, elemental crossbow drivers, etc.

This kind of advanced occupation is generally more common in the army, and can give war machines extra lethality and hit rate.

In small-scale wars, it is the focus of the battlefield that is more dazzling than legion advancement.

However, as a secret realm with a comprehensive challenge level of 10, it is unlikely to encounter such an enemy.

The dwarf fortress has only one relatively narrow entrance, and it would be difficult for Lev's size to enter.

Although it is certain that the inner area of ​​​​the dwarven fortress is not so narrow.

But for now, they don't know the length of the entryway.

In an unusually narrow passage, if you are ambushed or encounter a trap, you will be very passive.

In the previous discussion, Lev believed that using RPG to directly blast through the outer wall and then rush in is a plan with a relatively high success rate.

But because of the threat of the ballista and the difficulty of the leader's challenge, the three of them decided to wait a week before opening up the wasteland.

Because the dungeon refresh time is one week, one week is just enough to refresh a wave of dungeons, and you can get a chance to improve.

After all, the challenge level of Dwarf Fortress is 10+, and Yi Qiu, who had the highest level before them, was only level 7.

There is a big gap with the challenge level recommended by Zongwang, and the possibility of passing the level is relatively low.

Now, Yi Qiu is already at level 9, and Lev is at level 7.

Because Emma needs to consume general experience to activate blood spells, relatively speaking, leveling up has been much slower.

But up to now, Emma's warlock level has also been raised to level 6.

And the third-level spell she awakened is undoubtedly her long-awaited fireball spell.

With her bloodline ability, she can expend 2 charges of fireball to convert it into a greater fireball.

As an upgraded version of Fireball, the lethality of Powerful Fireball is almost one of the best among low-level spells.

However, because the flying speed of the fireball has not changed, for Yi Qiu whose moving speed has entered a new level, there is a certain room for evasion.

In the shadows at some distance from the Dwarf Fortress, Lev was looking for the strike point of the Dwarf Fortress.

As a retired member of the Alpha Rangers, Lev's quality in this area is very good.

He needed to find a location that, when blasted with an RPG, would provide them with a passage deep into the dwarven fortress, not too high, not too far away, and not inside a building.

If it is too high, it will be very difficult for them to enter the dwarven fortress through this passage.

If it is too far away, it will greatly increase the time they are attacked by ballistas.

Being located inside the building may make them face the same dilemma as the entrance passage of the dwarven fortress.

So, it's a difficult choice.

After weighing comprehensively for a period of time, Lev chose a city wall on the east side of the dwarf fortress as the attack point.

Judging from the distribution of the shooting ports nearby, the building density in that area is relatively sparse, and the distance from them is not too far, and the height is moderate.

After selecting the strike point, he took out the RPG from the item backpack.

Compared with ballistas without reinforcement, the effective range of RPG is higher.

Because of the lack of nearby fluorescent plants, the darkness perfectly covered Yi Qiu's whereabouts.

Creatures living in the underground space all have dark vision, but for dwarves, the effective observation range of their dark vision is not so far.

Lev took out the rocket and took aim for a moment.

"Whoosh!"

In a burst of dazzling flames and thick white smoke, the rocket rushed towards the dwarven fortress with extremely fast acceleration!

The dust on the nearby ground was shaken by the reaction force.

Yi Qiu, who was barefoot, could feel an obvious vibration from the ground, but the magnitude was not large.

"bump!"

And as the rocket hit the city wall, there was a violent explosion!

The dazzling white light dispelled the darkness near the city wall. The main structure of the city wall was damaged a lot, but a relatively complete passage was not formed.

Compared with fighting creatures, RPG is more suitable for attacking fortifications and destroying buildings.

The violent explosion sounds very harsh in the empty underground space, and the flames emitted by the PRG also exposed Yi Qiu's position.

"biu!"

"biu!"

"biu!"

There were sharp piercing sounds in the air, and the shooting port in the dwarf fortress blatantly attacked Yi Qiu and the others!

Although this distance has exceeded the effective attack distance of most unenhanced ballistas, beyond this effective attack distance, the damage of the ballista will be reduced.

But even with the reduction, the bolts fired by the ballista are still deadly enough for light armor and unarmored units.

At this time, Yi Qiu and the others had moved behind the large stone next to them.

"bump!"

In a flutter of small gravel, a thick crossbow bolt next to it was firmly shot into the ground.

Yi Qiu wiped the dust off his face and observed the crossbow.

Its length is much shorter than Yi Qiu expected, but it looks very thick.

In a sense, it fits the style of the dwarves very well.

Although they belonged to the small race, the impression given to people by dwarves has always been rock-solid.

They are not like ordinary small races, relying on their outstanding agility to make up for their physical weakness.

Instead, they used heavy punches and tough bodies to knock down those who laughed at them, and once refreshed people's understanding of the small race.

At this time, the ballista of the dwarf fortress has been fired, and it is in the empty period of loading the ballista.

Apparently, the dwarves who drove these ballistas were all unlicensed black car drivers, and the only attack they made was one crossbow arrow that shot near Yi Qiu and the others.

Lev rolled sideways and ran out from behind the stone. He observed cautiously for a while, and after finding that there was no follow-up attack for the time being, he quickly aimed the loaded RPG at the dwarf fortress.

"Whoosh!"

In a burst of violent white smoke, the rockets rushed straight to the already crumbling city wall in the dwarven fortress!
