Chapter 187: Battle of the City
The night in the courtyard was not peaceful. Although goblins were not considered nocturnal monsters, they also liked to attack other creatures at night.
If there were humans, they would attack humans. If there were no humans, they would trouble the monsters near the territory. If there were no monsters, they would simply eat their own kind. They were the orc tribe whose mentality was closest to that of the devil.
Goblins were never restless. They did not have a strong desire for destruction, but they were very greedy and bloodthirsty.
They were usually recruited by powerful devils. Because the goblins in hell that were not recruited had long been killed by the devils.
The devils did not like these green-skinned guys either.
The dark night had no effect on Mu Hua. The spiritual vision that could see directly into ghosts also had night vision.
Leading a team of terror riders on the road, after nightfall, Mu Hua's team was not affected by the darkness. In the group, it was the raven whose vision was the weakest.
With a physical fitness of 500+, Mu Hua had attributes that he had never dared to imagine before.
Compared with ordinary people, a physique of 500 is very exaggerated, but now Mu Hua's vision is much higher.
Rage blood can give him 500 strength, 20 tons, should be able to lift a heavy truck of relatively low specifications.
He can't even move a tank, at most he is a 'little spider'.
In this world where monsters are everywhere and demons are as numerous as dogs, Mu Hua basically has no awareness of a master.
He picks on the weak, even if he is dealing with goblins who don't have strong talents, he is always ready to retreat and run away.
The terror riders travel at night, causing chaos all the way.
There is also a canyon of the dead in the 375 courtyard. The east-west canyon blocks the road from the Goblin Kingdom to the Bloody Hills. Its eastern part extends to the south, and at the same time surrounds the mechanical forest adjacent to the Goblin Kingdom.
An undead area called the Death Canyon has become the boundary between the front and back halves of the 375 courtyard.
Nowadays, the B31 area of the Goblin Kingdom is sparsely populated, and Mu Hua, who is mixed in with the Horror Knights at night, is even less conspicuous.
Some frightened goblins along the way even thought that the demons of the Mechanical Forest had instigated the undead to invade their territory.
They reached the Goblin Castle in the B31 area with ease, and the Horror Knights lined up under the castle.
The Goblin Captain who was shouting on the top of the city wall did not seem to regard them as summoned beasts led by humans.
"Undead! Leave here, this is the king's territory, there is nothing you need here."
"The king has reached an agreement with the lazy Valk, and the Mechanical Forest has obtained the supplies we provided. We will be stationed here, and this is not the place you should come."
Holding two swords, the Goblin Captain stood on the top of the city wall and shouted loudly.
When Mu Hua led his people to the Tucheng, the Tucheng was already on full alert, but the tone of the Goblin Captain was not too nervous at this time.
The Mechanical Forest is located in the eastern part of the Goblin Kingdom. For the time being, it is the place that Mu Hua is most reluctant to go to.
Because there are guns and cannons, there are modified monsters and magical life forms, and there may even be mechas and mechanical demons.
Are all demons scum? They only know how to grin and swing their fists?
Don't make a fuss, not all orcs are that kind of style.
Some upper-level demons are even more refined than human nobles. Those that Mu Hua fished out from the abyss don't count, because they are all crazy. . .
Most demons with the blood of laziness are technology geeks, and human magical technology is likely to be learned from them.
Among all the original sins, laziness seems to be more closely related to jealousy, because the undead have many similarities with magical life forms to a certain extent.
The so-called agreements and resources of the goblin centurion in front of him probably refer to the minerals here.
The undead are mostly unreasonable, so the goblin centurion simply brought up the Mechanical Forest.
But none of this has anything to do with Mu Hua. He is here to fight in the wild. If he can, he will fight. If he can't, he will run away.
Fighting without declaration is unjust.
Justice... Justice is bullshit. I am not a hero.
Mu Hua is here to steal the city, but he doesn't know what reconnaissance methods the other party has, so he has prepared defensive measures before he arrives.
Without communicating with the other party, it is best not to let the other party know who he is after the fight.
The crows swooped down like a dark cloud, and sent out blinding ravens first, but Mu Hua intended to use ravens to activate the magic trap under the city.
Flames, lightning, vines, sharp rocks, muddy swamps.
One raven may not be able to activate the magic trap, but five or ten ravens will enter the attack range of the trap and peck at the magic nodes.
Thunder and fire intertwined under the originally peaceful city, and explosions suddenly occurred.
"Buzz~" The crystal-like magic barrier appeared under the impact of the elements, blocking the influence of the magic trap on the city wall.
The Goblin Captain on the city wall was very conspicuous, but it was because of these magic barriers that Mu Hua did not try to take out Jam Sweetheart and shoot it.
He summoned the raven again, and when the raven swooped down, a dense rain of arrows had already been shot down from the city wall.
Mu Hua also deployed a magic barrier in front of the ravens, but unfortunately his magic was not as good as the crystal wall on the city wall, and the level of practice was too low.
At most, it was like the protection range of a tower shield. Mu Hua's magic barrier did not play a big role in protecting the ravens.
Unable to activate the magic trap again, more ravens were shot to death by arrows. After briefly blocking some arrows, Mu Hua's magic barrier was also shattered.
The goblin's strange laughter came from the city wall.
The information blockade made it impossible for them to confirm the location of the spellcaster in the terror rider, but from the strength of the magic barrier, the goblin confirmed that the spellcaster was a rookie.
"Charge the city!" Facing the ridicule and insults, Mu Hua ordered the terror rider.
The iron cavalry charged. If Mu Hua tried to clear the magic traps under the city, it was not aimed at those thunder and fire traps.
Those explosive traps can be hard to withstand with blood and energy, but the "mud swamp" among them is more troublesome.
The death swamp that can drown the enemy within a certain range greatly affects the attack, and even the Terror Riders who fall into it will find it difficult to escape.
This kind of trap is difficult to break by brute force, and it cannot be dispelled after it is formed. If you fall into it, the best way to remove it is to use earth magic to harden the swamp, and then violently destroy the soil layer to escape.
Under the watchful eyes of a large number of archers, it is difficult for the ravens to launch a full attack.
Mu Hua summoned the ravens again, and the ravens flew high in the sky and resumed the work of scouts.
In a charge of less than 300 meters, five of the fifty Terror Riders died, and nearly ten Terror Riders lost their war horses.
The attack method of magic traps is rigid and fixed, but they have extraordinary attack strength.
Their biggest feature is that they can be continuously charged and continuously strengthened.
Magic traps are not terrible, but the terrible thing is that they are set up and retained for a long enough time. As the time of arrangement, the power of magic traps will become stronger and stronger.
If enough energy is accumulated and absorbed, there is no need for condensation and blessing, and magic traps can even reach the level of immunity to dispersal.
In the city battle in the courtyard, when attacking the city, the first thing you face is often not the enemy, but the magic traps set by the enemy.
At this time, the fear riders under Mu Hua who lost their war horses used their war horses to avoid the embarrassment of falling into the muddy swamp.
"Kong~Kong~" The strong energy slashed and split the thorns blocking the road, but several fear riders were still tripped by the thorn traps and their war horses fell.
The thorn vines like strange pythons bound the body of the fear riders, and when the fear riders struggled, they actually made a metal friction sound that made people's teeth ache.
The number of fear riders was enough. Mu Hua left ten riders to guard and fifty riders to open the way. When the thorns protecting the city were broken, there were still more than twenty riders who arrived at the city in one piece.
The war horses stood up, the heavy troops were ready, and when the fear riders were ready to attack the city with combat skills, a strong magic wave gathered on the city wall.
The fire wall was ignited, and the purgatory war horses blocked the erosion of the high-temperature flames on the fear riders.
As for those Terror Riders who lost their warhorses, they were already covered by clusters of fire pillars rising into the sky before they could summon the Purgatory Warhorses again.
Undeads are afraid of fire, and the Purgatory Warhorses that Terror Riders ride can make them resist fire magic to a certain extent, which is the fundamental reason why they do not put away their mounts even when attacking the city.
Fire walls, fire pillars, lightning nets, stone paths, lightning chains, dozens of magic spells with certain directions were thrown down from the city walls.
Perhaps to avoid the adverse effects of range magic on their own defense magic, a meteorite burning with scorching flames hit where Mu Hua was.
This is probably the difference between regular troops and small fish.
Although the monsters are very ferocious, compared to those crazy monsters in the wild, the goblins here are like real warriors.
You can also encounter some goblin mages in the wild, but it is very rare for those goblin mages to throw a thunderbolt.
Fireballs, stone bombs, and lightning arrows are their main attack magic, and the goblin mages here almost all have intermediate magic that they can show off.
"Boom! Boom!" The collision of magic and blood brought out waves of air.
The violent natural elements spread wantonly under the city.
Withstanding the next wave of magic attacks, more than 20 Terror Riders blasted out the collapse of the fortress.
The relatively concentrated attack shattered the magic crystal wall outside the city, but the magic halo of "strong city defense" rose again on the wall.
Damn, magic barrier, magic crystal wall, strong city defense, and then there may be guarding the sky and the unfallen fortress.
"Lava Lotus, eternal calamity blooms." Mu Hua performed a group attack of fire meteorites, and while cursing in his heart, he re-summoned the Terror Riders who had many casualties.
The Terror Riders reappeared, and between dissipation and reappearance, the goblin centurion on the city also confirmed the identity of the Terror Riders summoned beasts.
The Goblin Thousand Captain screamed and cursed. He hated summoned beasts, especially high-level summoned beasts like the Terror Knight. Damn, a bunch of bastards who gave up the honor of knights!!!
"Boom! Boom! Boom~!" The fire meteors hit the fortress, and ripples of magic power were rippled around the periphery of the fortress.
The fire meteors attacked with great momentum, but after one attack, they still could not break through the defensive magic outside the fortress.
The Terror Knight charged again, and a light of blessing of courage rose from the fortress.
A passage close to the city wall had been opened earlier. Now the cavalry only needed to avoid the location of the swamp. They would not suffer losses along the way like before.
Magic traps are very powerful, but they are not so powerful when they are thrown out.
Traps absorb external magic power autonomously. The longer they are retained, the stronger the power of magic traps.
Even if the spellcaster on the city casts magic traps again, it is impossible to achieve the same results as before.
Terror Knight, not so weak.
