Chapter 60: Attack

In fact, there is a reason why our people do not prepare for war. The Army of Light has been delayed for so many days by the God of War's plan. Our people have not prepared anything, so where can we go to the battlefield to sharpen our guns? Of course, this is not the only reason. What the God of War is best at is surpassing the human ability to calculate huge details, and using details to guide the development of the overall situation.

Tianyu City was originally located within the Death Mountains, and its terrain was slightly higher than the plains outside. However, after continuous treatment these days, it has become much higher than the outside. Another point is that there are several large reservoirs in Tianyu City. . The water in these reservoirs is connected to the spout under the city wall with giant pipes. With the help of the water's own gravity, as soon as the gate is opened, the water in these reservoirs will spray out like a high-pressure water column. The function of these levels is to prevent the enemy from getting close to the city wall. At least the battering ram and the city climbing ladder cannot be expected to get close. Even if they get close, they will be pushed away again.

In the open space behind the city wall is a large number of honeycomb-like launching devices. These are magical versions of the storm system that are launched with the power of giant springs. Longyuan's Storm System is actually a multiple rocket launcher, while the Magic Version's Storm System is an automatic bow and arrow launcher. When the water in the mountaintop reservoir rushes down, it will drive the water turbine to rotate. This power will be sent from the transmission shaft to the gear set at the bottom of the storm system to power the springs that serve as secondary energy storage devices. These springs are connected to the firing devices above. There are usually three thousand large cross arrows in these devices. As long as the firing personnel pulls the control lever, the firing device can be launched. In an instant, these three thousand arrows were shot out like a storm. Three thousand arrows flying densely are impossible to dodge, and because they are heavy cross arrows, they will be very powerful after being thrown. Even angels may not be able to block them all, let alone others.

The real power of the storm system is not actually the strength of the arrows, but the quantity. The arrow loading device is a rapid integrated loading device. When the first batch of arrows is fired, the second and third batches can start loading. After the first batch of arrows are fired, just push and pull the second and third batch of arrows forward to complete the reloading. , and the springs of the firing device are all driven by the power of the spring. It can be said that there is no need for human assistance at all. This enables the entire firing device to maintain three to four rounds of firing per minute before the arrows are consumed. 'Shoot' speed. One Tempest launcher contains three thousand arrows. We have ten rows here, with a total of three hundred Tempest systems. As long as the enemy dares to charge in a group. We promise to let them know what Arrow Rain is.

After the bow and arrow system is the guild's super sniper cannon, which was also modified at the request of the God of War. The original sniper cannon was used to deal with the opponent's siege weapons, but now it has been changed into a device to deal with the opponent's advanced players. The sniper cannon itself has not changed, except that the cannonballs have been replaced with scatter-nail devices mixed with magic crystal powder. Steel nails with magic crystal powder can ignore magic protection to a certain extent. Coupled with its terrifying speed, everything within a radius of 20 meters near the hit point will be sieved.

Behind the sniper cannon is the super magic crystal cannon, which is specially used to suppress groups of enemy masters. Because this thing is so powerful, even the protective shield raised by the mage group may not be able to block it. Therefore, it will be used as a weapon to restrain the opponent's key personnel.

This three-layer weapon system is currently the only large-scale weapon in Tianyu City. I originally prepared more weapons than this, but the God of War dismantled some of them on the grounds that the repeated effectiveness of the weapons decreased, and replaced them with these items in the free space. Although the number was small, the defense force became stronger. According to the words of the God of War. This is called overall optimization, and more is not necessarily better. For example, to deal with ordinary soldiers, it is enough to use the arrows in the Tempest system, although these arrows may not hurt angels and high-level paladins. But it has a mass killing effect on large groups of soldiers. The sniper cannon may not be of much use against soldiers in a large area, but it is very effective against enemy attacking forces such as officer corps and mage groups. As for the magic crystal cannon, that thing is designed to blast hard bones that cannot be chewed by other weapons. Regardless of whether you are an angel or a god, if you are hit by one shot, you will definitely be finished.

Of course, these things alone are not enough to completely eliminate the enemy. Our real trump card has been prepared under the city wall. As soon as the enemy starts attacking, we can immediately let them know what a terrifying battlefield is.

After a night's rest, Constantine stood behind the military formation on the morning of the 25th. He felt very excited now, because the final attack that he had been waiting for for many days had finally arrived. For them, regardless of victory or not, it would be great if they could rush to the city. If it weren't for the relatively powerful combat effectiveness of the Temple Legion, this army might have been completely wiped out.

The elders on the left and right stood beside Constantine and cast affirmative glances at him. Constantine looked around. Then he waved his hand forward firmly: "Attack."

"Roar...!" The whole army of the Temple of Light let out a unified throat roar. The power is not small.

Several senior angels took out some strange magic devices and threw them forward. Those things immediately exploded in the air, and after the fire disappeared, a large row of giant magic cannons appeared on the spot, and there were even lightning ball projectors among them.

I have been envious of the Lightning Ball Projector in the Temple of Light for a long time, but I have never had the chance to get it. This time I have to find a way to get the blueprint. The structure of this thing is similar to a trebuchet. In fact, it can indeed throw stones, but in fact its main function is to launch another kind of ammunition-lightning ball. There is a lightning ball maker installed at the front of this large trebuchet. As long as magic power is added to this machine, it can create a blue sphere slightly larger than a basketball on the spoon of the trebuchet. This sphere looks like crystal, but it is actually a high-concentration mine element. As long as you throw it out, it will explode immediately when it hits the ground, forming a huge electric field with a radius of more than 30 meters around the explosion point, which can instantly remove all the elements in it. The enemy turns into a roasted meat, which is unimaginably powerful. We can make the trebuchet, but the key is that we don’t know how to make the lightning ball generator, so I have been trying to get a set of blueprints. Unexpectedly, before the blueprints were received, they used this thing to hit us first.

Immediately after these things appeared, a large group of infantry rushed forward, but instead of controlling the machine, they rushed forward over the machine. It seemed that they were going to attack the city wall directly. According to regular tactics, such a charge should not be launched. But Constantine is probably afraid of being tortured these days, and plans to have a decisive battle with us without using any tactics and solve it in one go.

While the soldiers charged frantically towards Tianyu City, the angels behind them also flew up, and at the same time, the magic equipment they had just released began to operate. However, it was not those devices that showed their power first, but the defensive weapons in Tianyu City. With a loud bang, a magic cannon in front of the battle formation of the Army of Light rolled and flew out as if it had been hit by a giant dragon. The people on both sides of the gun positions stared blankly at the cannons flying out around them, and then suddenly reacted and each controlled their own cannons and started to fight back.

"Ready. Release!" The commander next to the lightning ball projector roared, and a row of lightning balls flew high and low towards Tianyu City.

From a distance, the city wall on our side is full of people. In fact, if you look closer, you will find that there is no one here at all. There are indeed many humanoid objects on the city wall, but they are all golems. The biggest advantage of combat golems is their super high defense. Lightning magic can cause huge damage to animals, but it is basically ineffective against golems. The golems in our guild are all multi-layered shells, with the outermost heavy plate armor having an insulating layer inside. According to the iron cage principle, metal plate armor is highly conductive. But just because the conductivity is so good, its surface potential difference is zero, which means there is no voltage at all to the people inside. Unless the person inside is connected to the ground through some conductive material to form a closed loop, they will not suffer an electric shock. Although the golem inside this armor is more resistant to electricity than humans, the ultra-high voltage can still burn out the golem's control circle. But with this layer of insulation, it doesn't matter. There is no voltage inside anyway, and there will be no charged dissolution.

A large number of lightning balls landed on the city walls and inside the city, and blue arcs and strong magnetic energy fields flashed alternately. But no damage was caused. However, the lightning ball can be ignored, but the cannonballs fired by the magic cannon cannot be ignored. Those purple magic crystal shells will create a big crater as soon as they hit the ground. I don't want my city wall to turn into a ruins full of craters. A large number of magic missiles shining with white light flew up from the city, and they were fired by the shadow demon hidden inside the all-steel building. The shadow demon is an advanced undead creature, and it is a mage-type creature, so there are many shadow demon guards. They have good magic resistance and are more flexible than ordinary mages. When the enemy's attack falls, they can quickly hide in the steel bunker.

Advanced shadow demons use "magic destruction". This kind of magic can destroy enemy magic regardless of level. No matter what magic you cast, it will collapse immediately as long as it is hit by magic damage. Those white magic missiles just now were magic destruction. They were directed towards the magic crystal cannon shells. It is much better to use this kind of thing to block the magic crystal cannon shells without using a protective shield. However, there is another issue that needs attention, and that is which mage is responsible for which shells. The enemy will not just fire one magic crystal shell, but a bunch of them. If our mage attacks randomly, everyone will be staring at a cannonball to intercept it. Not to mention waste. The remaining shells are unlikely to land. At this time, a precise dispatcher is needed to match the mage and enemy shells one by one. In reality, this work is completed by the battlefield fire management system. But there is no such thing in the game, so although we have Shadow Demon, we have never used this interception method before. The reason why we use this method now is because the God of War is coming. This guy is the battlefield decision-making computer. It is not a troublesome thing to take into account the distribution of firepower. This can maximize the advantage of firepower and never waste firepower.

The white magic missiles collided with those magic crystal shells in the air, and immediately exploded into a brilliant fireworks in the air, but the actual power was almost zero. Constantine angrily shouted at the gunners: "Shoot again."

The gunners also fired fiercely again, and the shells flew up like raindrops, but there were just as many interceptors on our side, and none of the shells could fly across half the field.

The gunners on our side began to show off their power. The characteristic of sniper cannons is that they are accurate. One shell for each cannon. The number of cannons in the Army of Light is getting smaller and smaller. They also tried to rely on the heavy shields set up by manpower to resist, but found that the power of the sniper cannon was too great, and the shield could not block it at all, even if it cost their lives. A single shell can often knock over a row of people and destroy the gun emplacement behind them.

Suddenly, a sharp eagle cry came down from high in the sky. Constantine heard the sound and looked up. It turned out that the griffin group had hit the dragon interception force. The angels and griffins were blocked in mid-air by a large group of dragons and spears before they could rush through the city wall. The two sides immediately fell into a melee. A griffon dived and bit the wing of a giant dragon. The dragon turned over in the air and threw the griffin upward. A spear rushed past, and the griffon broke into two pieces in the air.

If you look at it this way, it seems that the griffin was unlucky and was cut off by a spear after being thrown out by the dragon. In fact, that is not the case at all. If you add the command order of the God of War to this picture, you can find the problem.

The bitten dragon was staring at the target ahead and flying forward. The God of War had already seen from the eyes of other dragons that this dragon would be bitten soon. Then the communication command suddenly sounded in the dragon's ears. "Turn over." The giant dragon felt his wings being bitten almost at the same time he received the order, but the turning movement had already begun, and the griffin was thrown out before he could bite it tightly. In addition, when the giant dragon received the order to turn over, a spear at a specific location also received the order. "Directly ahead, supersonic assault, pop out the wing blade." The spear popped out the wing blade and started to attack. When he increased his speed, the dragon just threw the gryphon in front of him, and it was cut in two by the wing blade. Although the gryphon is not as powerful as the dragon. But at least it is on the same level as the spear and should not be killed so easily, but with the command of the God of War, it is completely different.

This kind of cooperation is also taking place in other places. A giant dragon that was flying well was staring at the target ahead when it suddenly heard the order: "Punch its tail down hard." The dragon, which had received intensive training for several days, followed the order without looking back. Smashed it down hard. In fact, he didn't even know what the God of War asked him to smash.

At this time, a high-level angel was fighting another low-level dragon. The angel was flying backwards, deliberately luring the dragon into the central area of ​​several other angels, but he happened to fly behind the other dragon. It is said that the dragon is fighting with angels elsewhere. He shouldn't have noticed him, but the giant dragon swung its tail violently because of the command of the God of War. The unlucky angel was hit on the head by a dragon's tail that was bigger than his body. At that time, He was knocked unconscious and fell straight from the sky.

Below, a giant dragon that had just defeated the enemy was looking for a target when it suddenly received an order. "Raise your head and open your mouth." When the dragon raised his head, an angel fell right into his mouth. "Okay. Swallow it. It will replenish your strength."

This kind of command is going on continuously, and the orders are issued completely simultaneously. The entire army of dragons and spears is fighting like one person. There were obviously many more angels and griffins than the dragons, but they couldn't rush through them. It felt as if the enemies were almost the same as them. Moreover, these giant dragons and spears are always making some strange moves, but every time they make these moves, an angel or a griffon will always be unlucky.

The aerial melee lasted for about ten minutes. The army on the ground was finally about to rush under the city wall. But at this time, the city suddenly changed again. The private houses that were originally close to the city wall were suddenly pulled down by a group of people, but after these houses fell down. What was revealed inside was not rubble, but rows of strange artillery pieces with high elevation angles.

The giant dragons and spears in the sky suddenly turned around and ran away like their butts were on fire, and the cannons below also began to rotate. The angels heard a roaring sound below, and then each round ball was hit into the air. At first, the angels were very confused. These balls had no edges or corners. Could they hurt people? Besides, he almost ran out of energy to fly such a high-altitude ball. Some angels even reached out to catch one, causing the other angels to laugh. Is this weapon too bad?

Before the laughter could die out, a loud noise suddenly silenced the angels. A small black ball exploded in the air. It was not very powerful, but it threw out a large area of ​​dense spiral nails, which was not only fast but also had strong penetrating power. The remaining cannonballs exploded one after another, and steel nails were flying all over the sky for a while. Angels and griffins were impaled and fell downwards like hedgehogs. The bombardment below did not end. The cannons chased the remaining angels and began to fire continuously. These anti-aircraft nail cannons are simply killers in the air. There is no place to hide in mid-air, so almost none of the angels can escape. Fortunately, their defense is pretty good. As long as they don't get too close to the explosion point, they won't be hit immediately. However, just because there is no life-threatening danger does not mean that they are fine. Our guild is not the Alliance of Light. What we are talking about is effectiveness. It has become more utilitarian since the God of War began to command. According to the requirements of the God of War, all steel nails have been soaked in poison. Just a scratch on the body is enough to make the opponent lie in bed for half a month. If there are enough hits, it may be fatal on the spot. This is calculated based on the huge number of priests in the Army of Light. If there were as many priests in the general army, at least half of them would die from poisoning.

Seeing the air force being swatted down like flies, Constantine immediately ordered the army to speed up the attack. But this order did not go well. The storm system behind the city wall can finally show its power. This thing is specially designed to restrain infantry groups. The only drawback is that the shooting range is a bit short. However, the trajectory of this thing is very curved, and it can attack enemies in front of the city wall from behind the city wall, which is just suitable for defending the city.

When the God of War gave the order, he heard a buzzing sound inside the city wall, and Constantine only saw a large piece of stuff flying up from the city wall. Those things flew straight upward at first. Constantine thought they were anti-air weapons. Who knew that after those things flew high, they suddenly started to smash down again. Constantine and the others had seen people throwing rain of arrows before, but they had never seen them so densely, so they didn't recognize them at first.

"It's throwing arrows and raising shields." Constantine didn't recognize it until the last few seconds and shouted a little too late.

The soldiers hurriedly raised their shields to block their heads, but some were slower and fell to the ground before they could lift them up by arrows that were as dense as raindrops. In fact, the person holding the shield felt like he was about to fall. The heavy cross arrow fired by the projectile is a large crossbow between the siege crossbow and the individual crossbow. Each arrow weighs two kilograms. If it falls from such a high place, it is actually The power was at least fifteen kilograms, and with so many arrows coming down together, the power was even greater. Many people were knocked to the ground even if they raised their shields, and then were pierced by the arrows that arrived later and turned into dead corpses.

This round of arrows knocked down 20,000 to 30,000 people, and the movement of the troops behind them was immediately suffocated. Constantine shouted an order to the herald: "Continue to charge, use the opportunity to attack and rush over."

Before his voice fell, there was another buzzing sound in front of him, and a large number of arrows shot out towards the city like locusts. Amidst the screams, the front line of the army suddenly flowed with blood. The originally bare plain seemed to have a layer of grass composed of arrow shafts. Under the dense arrow shafts were corpses that were no longer human. There were no wounded, and no one would survive such an intensive attack. As long as it is covered, there is absolutely no chance of survival. Even if some people bravely throw their companions down and cover them, the strong inertia will drive them together and pin them to the ground, making defense in vain.

This time there was no need for Constantine to give an order. The frontline commander immediately let out a beast-like guttural cry: "Charge! The blood of our comrades must not be shed in vain."

"Kill...!" The infantry of the Legion of Light began to rush forward at a faster pace, and the city wall was already in front of them.

Suddenly, a loud arrow with a whistle flew over the city, and the arrow seemed to be burning with flames. What effect can an arrow do among thousands of troops?
