Chapter 460 The Attack Begins
In theory, siege warfare is a very difficult and time-consuming task.
But for Kriolev, he knew that he only had four days!
That's right, in four days, the steel giant will arrive at the Bonn Fortress. By that time, with the powerful firepower displayed by the steel giant, it is impossible for him to break through the Bonn Fortress. Therefore, this four-day window is the only chance!
Kriolev didn't have a good solution for this. Fortunately, although the Bonn Fortress has the location of Hulao Pass, it is not as strong as Hulao Pass. It is just an ordinary transit military fortress in Hermann, so the original defense facilities are not sufficient, the city walls are not high, and they are not thick.
In short, the Bonn Fortress is more like a reinforced version of a mountain stronghold, but it is still lacking compared to the border fortress. Originally, it was the biggest disadvantage in Kriolev's view, but now, it has become his only advantage.
If the Bonn Fortress is more formal... then he will only be desperate.
But now, there is still a glimmer of hope.
"Notify everyone to prepare. From now on, I require all troops of the First Legion to continuously launch attacks on Bonn Fortress. Do not give them time to rest. At the same time, I want you to send 3,000 people to cross the Kriv Mountains, penetrate from the back, and attack their supply troops! At the same time, send people to the rear fortress to take their..."
Speaking of this, Kriolev lowered his voice and whispered a few words to Karl, who was stunned for a moment and then nodded.
"I know, sir."
"Okay, let's act."
Time is tight and the task is urgent, but it is not true that Kriolev has no solution at all.
After all, before coming here, Kriolev had conducted a very detailed study of Bonn Fortress. At that time, he originally hoped to transform Bonn Fortress to resist the Inquisition. But now the offensive and defensive positions are switched, which does not mean that the intelligence Kriolev learned before is useless.
First of all, the Bonn Fortress itself is not large, and can only accommodate 3,000 soldiers at most. In addition, during this period, the scouts he sent to the front line did not receive any information that the Fourth Legion had mobilized a large number of personnel to the Bonn Fortress. This means that the other party is likely to have suddenly raided the Bonn Fortress in the form of a small number of elites in some way that he could not imagine. Of course, considering that the Bonn Fortress was killed before it even had time to warn, it means that this group of attackers is very powerful, but their number must be small!
In this case, use the human wave tactics to fatigue bomb them!
The walls of the Bonn Fortress are not high. As long as rockets are used for a fierce attack, the fortress may be directly set on fire!
Soon, the First Legion also began to act. The first to go out were naturally thousands of archers. They held ignited rockets and shot at the Bonn Fortress in front of them. Then, they saw a series of flames breaking through the sky and shooting towards the Bonn Fortress!
I have to say that Kriolev's idea is indeed good. The walls of the Bonn Fortress are only three meters high and cannot withstand large-scale attacks. If these rockets are fired into the fortress and cause a fire, no matter how strong the enemy is, they can only escape. He doesn't think anyone can stop such an attack!
But... Then, a scene that stunned Kriolev appeared.
He watched the rockets shoot into the sky, and then fell towards the Bonn Fortress under the action of gravity, and then - just as these rockets fell, suddenly a colorful barrier like a huge arc-shaped glass appeared above the Bonn Fortress, directly blocking these rockets!
"……………………???"
Seeing this scene, Kriolev was confused. He turned his head in surprise and looked at the adjutant beside him.
"What is that?"
"I think... maybe it's magic?"
"Can magic do this?"
As Herman's general, Kriolev certainly knows about magic. Magicians do have barrier magic, but the range of barrier magic is very limited, and it must be used by powerful magicians, otherwise it is useless.
Boundary magic that can cover the entire fortress?
What a joke!
"I heard that the Kingdom of Seth has sent people to join the team of the Inquisition. Maybe it's their ability?"
"This... is unlikely? If Seth had this ability, he wouldn't have been almost exterminated by the demon army."
Kriolev shook his head. He naturally paid attention to the fall of Seth a year ago. After all, they were all countries that faced the demons head-on. Kriolev certainly couldn't help but care about the demon invasion of Seth. But he was sure that Seth didn't have this ability at the time. If he had this ability, Seth wouldn't have been beaten so badly.
In fact, as Kriolev thought, Seth did not have this ability.
But——Manalia has it!
As a great magic country, Manalia is several levels higher than Besna. Indeed, as Kriolev knew, even if ordinary magicians can use barriers, the scale is not large, and it will consume a lot of magic power. But that is limited to magicians in this world. For magicians in Manalia, this kind of protective barrier is a basic operation.
You must know that the royal city of Manalia was attacked by the evil dragon Fafnir. The latter hit the city wall and was blocked by the barrier. You can see how high Manalia's attainments in magic are. .
To put it bluntly, the gap between Manalia and Seth is basically the same as the gap between a full professor and a junior high school student.
Seth's magician couldn't create a magic barrier like this even if they tried hard, but An, Gu Leiya, Hannah, and a few graduates did it casually and created it directly.
Anyway, it's just for temporary use, and it's not meant to be permanent.
For them, this is just as difficult as a midterm exam.
But for people in this world, it is unimaginable.
"I really can't imagine that magic can actually do such a thing..."
Standing blankly on the city wall, looking at the colorful barrier shining above his head and the flaming arrows that were blocked outside, Uruze couldn't help but sigh. Although she does not know magic, as a person born in Seth, Uruze still understands magic very well. At least in the Kingdom of Seth, although magicians are powerful, they also have their weaknesses.
For example, except for a very small number of level 3 magicians who can use powerful group attack magic, other magicians use magic that can only attack people, and they are also very common spells.
But the magicians in Manalia have completely overturned Uluze's impression of magicians. In their hands, magic is truly ever-changing and feels like an incredible miraculous existence.
And...how to say...
Thinking of this, Uruze couldn't help but look at Manalia and his party standing not far away.
These magicians...well, they all have their own personalities.
"Is this, this, this barrier... really okay? Do you want to strengthen it one, one, one more...?"
Wearing a huge witch hat that could almost cover half of her body, a girl with brown-red hair grabbed the broom in her hand uneasily, stared at the battlefield in front of her, and murmured to herself.
"Don't worry, Anna."
And soon, another girl next to her, dressed like a magician, holding a hat and cane in her hand, chuckled and spoke to comfort her.
"This was designed by the two princesses themselves, so there will definitely be no problem."
As she spoke, the top hat in the girl's hand flipped over, and a cluster of flowers suddenly appeared from it and was delivered to the red-haired witch.
"Come on, don't be so nervous, don't worry, we won't lose!"
“Ah…………well…………”
Hearing the magician girl's comfort, the red-haired girl seemed to be relieved and nodded.
"Don't worry!"
At this moment, another blond girl dressed like a noble raised her staff proudly and pointed forward.
"With my genius magician Elsa here! These enemies are no match for me! As long as they dare to fight, I will let them know how powerful I am!"
"alright."
Just as the graduates of Manalia were excited, the blond woman standing behind them smiled and clapped her hands.
"This is just the beginning, don't underestimate the enemy? Don't forget that your battles were not very successful a few days ago. Don't make similar mistakes again?"
"Oh...I know, Teacher Milan..."
At the same time, Kriolev also discovered that bows and arrows were ineffective against the opponent. At this time, there was only...
"attack!"
Soon, following the veteran's order, under the cover of bows and arrows, the soldiers of the First Legion raised their shields and rushed towards the fortress in front of them.
And everyone on the city wall naturally saw this scene.
"Okay, then let's see how long you can resist each other. Who comes first?"
"Of course it's me, the genius magician Elsa!"
"Why should you be the first? I should be allowed to come, the flower from the sky - Elena Gululia, to let these people see my strength! Let them know that flowers do not just bloom in the sky and the earth, but also in the sky and the earth. You can shine everywhere!”
It’s no wonder that the girls are so excited. After all, going out to fight this time will be included in their graduation assessment. Who doesn’t want to get an excellent grade?
Watching the quarrel among the people, another girl next to her holding a hand that looked like a steel meteorite sighed silently.
"No matter what, it's fine. Please don't destroy the fortress anymore. It will be very troublesome to repair..."
Beside her, several square-shaped robots with wheels were running around, repairing the holes in the walls of the fortress.
"Why……………"
Looking at these troublesome students, Milan sighed helplessly, and then she looked at the blond girl standing quietly next to her, wearing a silver-gray robe and a hood.
"Then, you should set an example for everyone first."
"Okay, teacher."
Hearing Milan's words, the blond girl nodded, then she came to the edge of the city wall and looked at the Hermann soldiers not far below who had approached the city wall. Then the girl reached out and took out a box of strange-looking matches from the basket held in her arm.
These matchboxes are all rectangular, but they are inlaid with gems of different colors. The girl reached out, took out a match, stared at the battlefield in front of her, and took a deep breath.
"A perfect illusion will also surpass the reality...Illusions are also alive."
As she spoke, the girl gently struck the match.
As the fire flashed, the next moment, countless dark figures suddenly appeared among the Hermann army advancing below!
