Chapter 186 City Defense

Fortress-style walls and castles used to be symbols of the Middle Ages in a certain world, but after all, due to the prosperity of modern weapons, they gradually declined and became the tears of the times.

Formed air force bombing, long-range strikes from artillery positions, large-scale destruction of strategic weapons, and torrents of steel forcibly breaking through can all make these immovable barriers meaningless. Therefore, they have played an important role in countless wars in history. The majestic wonders that have played a huge role and played a major strategic role have also changed from military points to tourist attractions open to the world in the relatively peaceful modern age.

"Times will change. With the advancement of technology and the emergence of new species, the original iron law of the battlefield will eventually become waste paper. No matter how strong the fortress is, it will eventually become a tourist attraction."

I have always thought this way. Perhaps due to the differences between magical civilization and technological civilization, there will not be exactly the same tanks and bombers in this era, but a large number of high-level air cavalry can also ignore the city walls and throw destructive weapons. After the advanced technology is further formed, the torrent of steel in the magic civilization is not impossible. As for the strategic level of destruction weapons, haven't there always been forbidden spells and the like.

Although there are few forbidden spell mages, even fewer dare to use it, but with the development of magic civilization, it is not impossible for powerful strategic-level popular magic to appear. At least I came up with the creation based on the creation of that world. There are several insane battlefield weapons achieved by magic.

Such as viral undead natural disasters, heavy radiation liquid slime, fortress-type continental shelf destroyer, mutant latent biological gas

Cough, as a pacifist, let those obviously anti-human and unlimited things be sealed until the end of the world. Back to business. Use my judgment. A conclusion that is unimaginable from the mainstream view has been drawn.

"Future wars will also enter a new era without city walls."

Therefore, unlike Sluwell Kingdom's practice of building fortress defense with all its strength, whether it was in the past underground or later in Donglan, I did not hesitate to give up the time-consuming and labor-intensive city wall defense system. Access to the research and development and actual combat of new technologies and new arms.

"A defensive battle based on a solid city wall is likely to be swept into the dustbin of history in this holy war."

But that change is by no means now.

Forts and castles appear to be purely passive fortifications. But it is extremely important in the era of cold weapons. No matter facing the cavalry raids of nomads coming and going like the wind, or facing the herds of beasts who do not know when to come to hunt in the dark, he can play an irreplaceable core strategic role.

Defending and attacking the city has become the standard procedure of countless wars. It is not only a defensive barrier in reality, but also a psychological fortress.

Residents living in the city, looking at the towering city walls, will make people feel safe and reliable from the bottom of their hearts.

Even now there is a new era of innovation fire. But it hasn't really become popular, and human concepts don't change that easily. In the eyes of most people, the equation that a broken city equals a defeated battle still exists.

At this time, Hongfeng's line of defense is equal to the psychological support of the human side. If something happens to him

"It's all over! We've got no hope, we're all going to die!"

The one who screamed and uttered desperate words was not a useless coward. The general had just killed a dozen orcs in hand-to-hand combat, and the wounds on his body hadn't had time to bandage, but he screamed like a man who had been wounded. A useless deserter forced to serve as cannon fodder on the battlefield.

During that earthquake, the city wall was not completely destroyed, but the countless open gaps allowed wild beasts to enter the sheepfold to hunt at will, and the city wall had lost its meaning.

"The city wall is gone" means "the war has been lost", this is the iron law in his heart, and the collapse of the psychological defense line made this warrior into despair.

There are not a few fighters like him, even the strongest fighters, the first reaction is that this war has been lost.

Fighting a field battle with the orcs who have an advantage in numbers? Individual strength and morale were completely suppressed, which was a dead end from the very beginning.

Never underestimate the experience and wisdom of the long-lived species. The seemingly unthinking Umdi Roken was originally cunning on the outside. Even if he was in the chess game, he was actually looking at the overall situation. Understand the situation of war.

Therefore, when he was doomed to fail, at this critical moment, he slashed at the greatest weakness of human beings. He always knew that once Hongfeng City fell, it would be the most painful wound on the human side.

If the Red Maple City falls, there will be no obstacles in the vast plains behind it, which will inevitably lead to an imbalance in the combat power of the entire battlefield, and the entire human coalition will fall into an avalanche-like losing streak. At that time, the orcs will even be able to turn around and fight again To encircle and suppress An Tuen, he will naturally avenge himself.

"Run, the orcs have entered the city!"

"I'm not reconciled, we've all fought to this point,

But fortunately, not everyone has given up hope. In other words, although the foolishness and boldness of a certain princess is a headache, but the temperament of never giving up until the last moment is still very likable .

The fluttering battle flag did not fall, and the Lan tribe had faced countless desperate situations. Since even the massacre of the city did not deter them, it was only the city wall that was broken, so there was nothing they could do.

"Abandon the outer city wall, all retreat to the inner city, the wounded go first, and those who can stand up block the group of beasts for me!"

Still with some scorpion-like roars echoing back and forth over the city, the warriors who came to their senses began to communicate, and finally, those bewildered warriors began to act.

"We've been through countless bloody battles and it's not time to give up!"

The crumbling outer city wall was abandoned immediately. Most of the residents were in the inner city, and the wounded were mainly transferred. As for the defenders who were crushed by the collapsed city wall, there was no time to clean up the gravel.

And the more critical moment. The more it reflects the importance of the trump card.

finally. The Donglan people threw their last trump card.

"Big trial!"

The original code of the artifact was activated. The silver holy light enveloped the city in an instant, making the guilty invaders, and all the orcs will suffer multiple blockades of negative states such as restricted freedom, invisible shackles, and weapon blockades.

But it is a pity that before Sleepless became the patron saint of the Northland, the Church of the Law had no reason to intervene in this war. The legal profession in Hongfeng City was only accompanied by Renee, who increased the powerful gain of his rank Instead, it didn't work much.

But just the effect of restraining the other party is enough. At this moment when every second counts, every minute of delay for the orcs will allow more soldiers to withdraw to the inner city, and more soldiers will reorganize their defensive positions.

"Notify the Northern Lights, full firepower, we need support to overload the train king, give these damned orcs a gift!"

In times of crisis, the role of the backbone is more and more manifested. She doesn't need much wisdom or experience, she just needs to stabilize her mind and make a response. It is enough to calm people's hearts.

The chaos at the west gate began to be calmed under the regretful eyes of everyone. The train king, already overloaded, was thrown from the city walls.

"Boom!" Another mushroom cloud slowly rose on the battlefield.

The violent explosion even directly blew the city gate away, but those orcs who planned to pass through were also turned into fly ash directly. The huge gully created by the explosion could be used directly as a moat, but at this time everyone was killed. The airship left the crumbling city wall and prepared to rebuild the fortifications in the inner city.

Finally, the crumbling city wall collapsed completely, and the collapsed city wall overwhelmed many orcs, but on the airship, looking at the ruins, Renee was silently furious.

"Damn orcs! I want your souls to struggle forever in the Styx. What did I say? What is the Styx?"

If she could look in the mirror, Renee would be even more surprised. At this time, Renee's pupils were blood red, and the wing-like black mist behind her back had already begun to turn into substance. Behind her, a false black phantom was laughing wildly.

"Haha, the seed has finally germinated!"——

But when night fell, the mage union in Antuen was still busy.

On the square in front of the mage tower, hundreds of spellcasters are busy, countless magic patterns are engraved on the ground, a lot of precious resources are consumed, and the paints are filled with dragon blood, which is hard to buy.

The precious magic goblet of fire was used as lighting, and the archmages also lay down on the ground to study those rare magic patterns in the world.

"Isn't it alright?".

"Do you think ultra-long-distance precise teleportation is easy? Let me tell you, this is no different from precisely opening the door of a different plane. If there is a slight difference, you will be thrown into a different dimension. Sit down and don't shake it. I want to calculate Your weight."

The ladies passing by kept covering their mouths and sniggering, and those mages also looked like they couldn't stop laughing. It's no wonder they are like this. At this time, my appearance is destined to become a new shame.

The cold wind kept blowing, but I was trembling all over. Zhou Teng left a pair of underwear to explain in advance that I was not infected by snow hoofs!

"Don't shake it, how can I measure my weight? Oh, you are still overweight. It's beyond my ability. You still need to lose weight!"

At this time, I was covered in strange patterns drawn with dragon blood paint, trembling on a large balance tray used to hold monster raw materials.

How to reduce it? Hesitatingly stretched that hand down, but seeing more and more spectators, looking at those ladies who covered their eyes but kept peeking down, I really couldn't let go of that hand.

"I'm still overweight, a pair of underwear is not enough, I shaved off my hair and eyebrows."

Pushing back her glasses, the cold-faced Margaret delivered a fatal sentence.

All shaved? I somehow thought of the bare eggs.

The smooth round head is cool in summer, and it can reflect the sunlight to keep warm in winter. It’s really good. It can also save lamp oil costs at night, and the secret skill of the blinding dog’s eyes can also play a double role.

"Adam, don't make up the psychological lines for me! If you want to reflect on yourself."

Adam on the side was already rolling on the ground laughing, and only he could say those unreliable lines, or, it should be said, only he would be so boring.

But because of my push and push, Margaret's complexion became colder and colder, and she seemed a little upset.

"Well, is there any other way?"

"hand."

In an instant, my heart was full of ups and downs, and I cut off my arm to reduce the weight. This is indeed an impossible solution.

After hesitating for a moment, I drew out the Holy Sword of Roland and compared it to my arm for a long time, but finally threw it to Adam.

"Adam, come on, I'm afraid of pain."

I closed my eyes and waited for a long time, but only heard the sound of "嗤嗤". When I opened my eyes, I saw two people exchanging opinions with strange faces.

"Don't delay, we don't have much time, use your sword sharply, I'll find a priest later, and I might catch you laughing."

"Pfft!"

Hearing this, Adam couldn't breathe from laughing immediately. But Margaret pushed her eyes again.

"What do you cut off your hands for? There's no need. Are you going to install a hook to act as a pirate captain?".

"The weight? So you were joking! Can you teleport it already?"

"No, I never make jokes in the magic field." Margaret still said with a serious face, the cold light in her eyes made one's heart tremble, she was indeed serious.

"It's true that your current weight is not good, but when I say 'hand', I want you to take off the age ring in your hand."

In an instant, I understood that I am overweight now, and it is impossible for me to be overweight when I was young. It is not enough to take off the ring.

"You didn't say it earlier, you cheated me again! Hey, wait a minute, I still have something to say."

I was extremely annoyed, and quickly took off the ring. Before I could complain, Margaret's cane fell, and the brilliance that was transmitted had already surrounded me.

At this time, I could only quickly pick up the Roland Holy Sword to prepare, and no matter how helplessly I accepted the reality of being tricked.

And when I left, the square fell into silence again, but Adam suddenly spoke out.

"Are you relieved?".

"Of course, this bastard actually forgot about me again. He's not good enough for friends. The way he looks at strangers is so annoying."

The sage who always had a calm face was sometimes filled with righteous indignation, but then, Margaret suddenly turned from sunny to cloudy and laughed out loud.

"However, you can't blame him entirely. Let the past be the past. And even if you forget the story of the past and add new memories, this time, it should make him remember me deeply."

Adam shook his head helplessly, but turned his attention to the south, where the final decisive battle related to the fate of the entire Northland.

"Roland doesn't know if he can do it alone. It's really hard to deal with over there."

"Hmph, he's not alone. Have you forgotten about Amyra and the cat? Why do you think they disappeared for so long? That kid Roland is so cautious that he left a few photos that no one knows about." trump card."

And just as expected, at this time, in the market area of ​​Hongfeng City, there was a witch who made the final pre-war preparations.

"Hey, this time it's really a big loss. When the time comes, I will ask my junior to get back the loss. Little babies, wake up, it's time to eat. Don't worry, the staple food this time is not chewy zombies. This time , let's play Plants vs. Orcs!" (to be continued...)
