Volume 19, Chapter 71: Devastated

"I...I..." The president of the Black Sun Alliance stayed there for a long time and was unable to say a complete sentence. On the contrary, the team from our guild outside the city moved faster.

After all the heavy infantry got off the airship, the huge airship slowly rose again, and the air cavalry following our guild also began to land in nearby open spaces. However, before most of the air cavalry could land, the second airship flew over slowly and landed smoothly on the ground.

Seeing that our guild actually has more than one airship, the people of the Black Sun Alliance became more anxious than before. Being able to produce one airship only shows that we have the ability to manufacture airships, and the significance of two means that we can mass-produce such things. This gap is not generally large. However, what the Black Sun Alliance is most worried about right now is what is installed on our airship. The first airship just put down almost 3,000 heavy infantry. By analogy, if this airship is still transporting soldiers, the number is definitely more than 3,000, because in addition to the heavy cavalry and golem troops , the heavy infantry is already the heaviest standard soldier on the ground. In addition to the Warcraft troops, the heavy infantry is the third heaviest type of ground arms.

Although the Black Sun Alliance was worried that the second airship would transport another 3,000 heavy infantry, when the second airship dropped the troops it carried, the Black Sun Alliance regretted that the ship did not transport another 3,000 heavy infantry. . Because this second airship dropped an artillery regiment that was more powerful than the heavy infantry in siege warfare.

The only entrance to the Black Rock City of the Black Sun Alliance is a natural cave, and the entrance of this cave has been sealed tightly with a city wall by the people of the Black Sun Alliance. Except for the city gate in the center of the city wall, there are only a few holes in other places. It's just a shooting hole that no one can get through. Facing such a city wall entrance, it can be said that it is difficult to rush in using ordinary methods, because in general city sieges, the attackers use ladders and other tools to climb up the city wall and then capture the wall bit by bit before rushing into the city. . But the problem is that the top of Black Rock City's wall is connected to the cave roof, and it is impossible to climb over. Similarly, in general city offensive and defensive battles, the attacker can also suppress the defenders on the city wall from attacking their own troops outside the city by throwing arrows and other methods. However, now because the city wall of Black Rock City is against the roof of the cave, throwing arrows is not possible. 'Shoot' weapons can't fly over at all. As for direct-aimed weapons, although it is possible to injure people behind them by shooting in the mouth, the killing effect will definitely not be much better despite the high accuracy requirements. Therefore, for Black Rock City, what they fear most is not the large number of enemy soldiers. After all, no matter how many soldiers there are, they cannot chew through the city wall. What they fear most is that the opponent has too many cannons, because cannons are capable of destroying city walls.

"Quickly, quickly, set up all the cannons." On the landing field outside Black Rock City, an artillery commander of the guild was holding a communication crystal and shouted: "Each artillery position is quickly in place, and the transport team is going to collect the cannonballs." They are all sent to various artillery positions. The airship over there should take off as soon as it is finished unloading, so as not to affect the artillery firepower."

Under the urging of this player, our guild's artillery units quickly deployed into firing mode, and the baggage troops behind also fired all the artillery shells to the artillery positions. Finally, after all the cannons were in place, the airship It was just in time to finish unloading the artillery shells and start taking off.

Seeing the airship leaving, the commander immediately turned to look at the wind direction and wind counter that had just been plugged in on the ground next to him, and then shouted to the communication crystal: "Attention, all gun positions, the distance directly ahead is 3,800 meters." 100 meters, wind direction 306, wind speed 18, all gun positions are on standby, the benchmark squad is loading explosive and incendiary bombs and trying to 'fire' one round."

boom. Almost as soon as the order here ended, there was a loud noise from the gun position, and a red light point was seen instantly flying into the cave where the Black Rock City wall was located, and then blasting out the top of the cave with a bang. A large pit was created, and the sprayed incendiary agent formed a large burning fire cloud on the top of the cave, and sparks continued to fall downwards, as if there was a waterfall of flames hanging at the entrance of the cave.

The commander looked at the impact point with a telescope and ordered again: "Reduce the elevation angle by three, load the ballistic marker bullet, and try another round."

boom. There was another loud noise, and a bright light spot instantly separated from the muzzle and flew more than a hundred meters before suddenly starting to pull out a red smoke trail behind the tail. Finally, the trail penetrated The cave flew all the way to the top of the wall of Black Rock City, scraping against the roof of the cave before exploding with a loud bang, forming a large burning mark.

After seeing the clear ballistic trajectory, the artillery group commander immediately picked up the communicator and ordered: "Attention of all gun positions, correct coordinates, reduce the elevation angle by four, load high-explosive armor-breaking shells, and fire twenty rounds freely."

As soon as the order ended, the artillery group immediately burst into flames. A large group of artillery shells hit the wall of Black Rock City like a heavy rain. In an instant, the entire city wall was completely covered with flames.

The members of the Black Sun Alliance standing behind the city wall did not expect that our shelling was so fierce. Although the city wall blocked most of the explosion impact, they thought that the explosions were too dense, so almost every firing port spewed out blazing heat. With the flames, almost all the members of the Black Sun Alliance standing at the firing port were blown away by the blast wind, and many of them were directly cooked by the fiery air waves.

As the first round of relatively orderly shelling ended, the subsequent rain of shells began to gradually become chaotic. However, even the slowest firing position took only five minutes to hit all 20 shells. Fire cannonballs. Looking at the city wall of Black Rock City at this time, except for the ruins at the bottom of the cave, traces of the city wall can still be seen vaguely. The original city wall has almost completely disappeared.

"Boss, the city wall has been cleared. Can we withdraw first?" Seeing that the entire city wall was gone after the bombardment, the artillery group commander asked directly using the communication crystal.

I looked at the effects of the artillery fire, and after confirming that there were no problems, I agreed to the artillery group to withdraw first, and then ordered the infantry troops to move forward. Of course, our heavy infantry team is not advancing alone. There is a circle of mobile angels guarding around them. These mobile angels are all land combat suppression types and are powerful ground troops. If the Black Sun Alliance has any remaining bunkers or other buildings, these mobile angels can come in handy.

When our infantry first started moving, the Black Sun Alliance's defense forces were almost unresponsive. The previous shelling was so violent that the entire city wall was blown down, causing heavy casualties to the Black Sun Alliance's defense forces. Moreover, the Black Sun Alliance is a small guild. It does not have as much money as our guild to buy NPC troops to assist in combat, so after the city wall was blown down, they could hardly find anyone to defend the city.

As the large force of our guild gradually advanced, the vibrations caused by the neat steps finally awakened some Black Sun Alliance members who were trapped under the rubble. As a pile of rubble was pushed away, several disgraced players finally got out from under the rubble, and as they got out, people nearby climbed out of the rubble one after another.

"Is there anyone alive?" The president of the Black Sun Alliance, who emerged from the rubble, shouted nervously, but there were only a few voices that responded to him. The entire Black Sun Alliance has a total of more than 200 people, and the NPC troops only have a thousand people. The number of remaining personnel just now, including the players and NPCs, is less than 200. It can be said that the round of shelling just now killed more than 80% of the Black Sun Alliance personnel. The official battle hadn't started yet, but the artillery preparations alone had reduced their number by 80%, and the rest of the battle was basically unnecessary. There weren't many people in the first place, but now there's just a bunch of defeated soldiers left. It would be unreasonable if they could still win.

"President, should we run away? There's no point in continuing the fight like this!" A player covered in gray dust shouted to their president. Not far in front of them, the heavy infantry regiment of our guild was almost reaching the ruins.

The president of the Black Sun Alliance looked at the neatly arranged team on the opposite side, then looked at the people around him, and finally had no choice but to order: "All NPCs stay behind, players follow me secretly." The Word leaves.”

"yes."

The NPC troops of the Black Sun Alliance are not the expeditionary force of our guild, but the city garrison. Once the city is destroyed, these NPCs cannot be taken away anyway, so it is better to stay and delay our attack rhythm. As for the players, there are only about twenty of them left anyway. It doesn’t really make much sense whether they stay or not. They might as well run away together and gain the reputation of not leaving their companions behind.

If we let the guys from the Black Sun Alliance fight us desperately, they would definitely be unwilling to push back and forth, but if we let them escape, each of these guys would be faster than the other. As soon as their president gave the order, someone turned around and ran into the city. The president himself was stunned for a moment. However, the sound of footsteps getting closer and closer behind them still made the president and other players quickly recover and join the escape.

While the president of the Black Sun Alliance was escaping with their members, outside Black Rock City, I was being complained about by my former priest sister. "Didn't you promise to inform me?" the priest sister shouted angrily.

"Didn't I call you?"

"But you've all entered the city, why did you ask me to come?"

"You can't blame me! I informed you when we set off, but you haven't arrived yet after our people arrived. And I didn't expect the Black Sun Alliance to be so careless that they were destroyed by shelling in just five minutes. The defense line has been destroyed, and I originally thought we would be struggling outside the city wall for more than half an hour!"

"I..." Faced with my answer, the priest sister really didn't know what to say. After all, what I said is the truth. How can an ordinary siege battle between guilds enter the city in five minutes? This situation cannot be entirely our fault. The main reason is that the Frost Rose Alliance and the Black Sun Alliance are really not the same level of guilds. What we have faced in the past are foreign joint forces or some super guilds. It is rare to have a decisive battle with such a small guild. appeared, so we habitually calculated the combat power arrangement according to the way to deal with those guild alliances. Who knew that the Black Sun Alliance and those guilds were not at the same level of existence. People can usually withstand our shelling for about an hour, but they didn't even last ten minutes.

"Okay, okay, don't blame me here. If you have time, you might as well go and see if you can still pick up a few leaks. If it's later, even the rats in the city will be killed."

"That's true." After hearing this, the priest sister immediately turned around and waved her hand, and a black space door suddenly appeared in front of her. She followed her and stepped in. The next second, the door was closed again.

Seeing this priest sister disappear suddenly like this, I was stunned for a moment. The last time I saw her, I heard someone from the Black Sun Alliance say that she seemed to be called Blood Scythe. At that time, her fighting style was obviously very powerful, but it might be because the enemy was too weak, although she felt that her fighting ability was good. , but I didn’t care much about her strength. However, just now I discovered that this little girl's ability seems to be far beyond what I saw last time. At least her ability to open portals at will is quite impressive. I just don’t know if her portal can be used alone or if she can bring someone through it. If she can bring someone with her, then this skill of hers can definitely be regarded as one of the quasi-bug skills.

It seems that I need to win over this little girl. If I can recruit her from our guild to train her well, and then get her a set of good equipment, I won't be able to train a super master like Kristina. . After all, at least half of a person's combat effectiveness is determined by equipment and one's own attributes. Personal combat intuition can only determine victory or defeat when the attributes of both parties are similar. Otherwise, even if you fight against all the invincible players in the world, you will not be able to defeat a level 1000 player in the game. After all, the attributes are too different. If someone launches a range attack, no matter how skilled you are, you will be finished. Moreover, based on my current observation, this priest girl's combat literacy is definitely at the top level, and her profession and attributes seem to be good, but the equipment is a bit poor and the level is a bit low, and it seems that she has not seen it. She summoned a familiar to help her fight. It can be said that as long as I help her put together these external things, she will immediately become a first-class master. If such a person could be poached, it would definitely be a profitable business.

Now that I have decided to poach, I can't let the priest mm go in alone. Unfortunately, although I can teleport, I don't have the speed like her, so I have to ride on Yeying and chase after her. Fortunately, the distance was not far, and I quickly caught up with him.

In fact, the priest mm herself didn't teleport very far. She just teleported from where we were standing before to a position slightly ahead of our heavy infantry regiment, but she came a little late. As soon as the priest sister stepped out of the space door, she heard the buzzing sound of a bowstring trembling behind her, followed by a dense rain of arrows flying over her head, shooting the remaining more than a hundred NPCs in front of her into hedgehogs.

"Damn it, it's still too late!" The priest sister looked at the corpses on the ground very depressed and could only worry.

"It's not too late." I rode Yeying from the side and looked at the priest mm and said: "My people reported that the president of the Black Sun Alliance ran away with more than 20 players. These NPCs are nothing but Are you going to chase after Duan Hou with me? Or are you just going to complain here?"
