Long Live the Call of Heroes

Chapter 516 Entering the Fortress City

In less than a quarter of an hour, Bellegar not only successfully climbed to the top of Sentinel Peak, but also hoisted the battle flag belonging to the Angrund clan.

After occupying the village hall on Sentinel Peak, Bellegar still couldn't believe it. The whole process was so smooth.

The dwarves trotted up the mountain all the way. At most, they knocked to death a few greenskin and troll heroes who were more tenacious in vitality or better hidden after they reached the top of the mountain.

But even so, he did not take it lightly. After occupying Sentinel Peak, he immediately asked several master engineers to start building fortifications.

The master engineer of the dwarves, his own combat effectiveness is very low, and his standing weapons are short-handled muskets and one-handed battle axes.

But as long as there are sufficient building materials, they can quickly repair and build some basic buildings, such as arrow towers, without architectural drawings.

It just so happened that the goblins left a lot of materials on the Sentinel Peak. They were originally used to deal with the dwarves, but now they will become the helpers of the dwarves, and will become good things for harvesting the lives of the goblins in the future.

Many dwarf heroes also took out other materials prepared in advance and began to assemble various ballistas, catapults, and even simple mortars, etc., in order to further improve the defense facilities of Sentinel Peak.

They looked down on the war equipment that the goblins had arranged before, but now that they were all destroyed, they decided to build a new defense line in the open space.

The remaining little was also easily purified by Li Wei. Holding the book of disaster avoidance, he is no different from the greatest nemesis of the plague.

It's just that if there are too many casualties during the capture process, even if a certain mountain is successfully captured at the beginning, there are not enough troops to garrison it, and it will still be repelled later.

As the name suggests, once hit by it, the target will be torn apart, and those blades will often be smeared with poison and plague, etc., in short, it is very disgusting.

The opponent's war machinery is very strong, but the mounts of the graveyard knights are all constructed from rocks, and they are not inferior.

Because they all know, don't look at the enemy's aggressive approach, but this is just an appetizer.

Originally, Sentinel Peak also had a large number of legal troops stationed here, and the leader was a 17th-level troll witch specializing in darkness and souls-the fish chewer, which caused great damage to the ancestors.

Without mounts, their speed was even worse than that of the huntresses. If they were entangled by the ratmen, they would really die without a place to die.

The dwarves also launched attacks one after another, especially those ancestors, who rushed faster and faster one by one.

Other dwarf crossbowmen, thunder gunners, etc. also launched attacks one after another.

After all, the movement speed of ordinary dwarves is still very slow, and there is no suitable mount. There is still a big gap between the movement speed and Li Wei's troops.

And there are obviously a lot of god-chosen heroes among them, and the leader is a super giant ratman who uses a long-handled battle ax as a weapon.

He now understands more and more where the key point of this battle is.

But the celestial creatures with relatively slower speeds suffered heavy losses.

At the same time, Donna, who had been hiding all this time, also tacitly launched a salvo of arrows towards the forest where the other party was invisible. Even in pursuit of the greatest effect, all the arrows this time were enchanted.

But these scouts were nothing to Luna in front of. Even before Bellegar and the others saw them with their own eyes, those guys had already turned into corpses ahead of time.

But soon he regained his strength. No matter what conspiracy the other party had, the fact before him was that Sentinel Peak had already been captured by them.

Coupled with the long-range weapons such as the Ratman's Dimensional Lifting Gun, there is still a considerable threat to Mikaela and the others.

There are still some knights on the backs of many nest giant rats. According to the ratmen's practice, only the heroes of the ratmen can ride this kind of monsters. This has changed the strength comparison between the enemy and us.

Not only because of the strength of the opponent, but also because of the extremely high mobility of the opponent. Even at their speed, it is impossible to successfully intercept all of them.

Bellega said so, of course Li Wei would not contradict him, he just reminded the other party.

The weakness of the ancestor heroic spirits is that they have relatively low resistance to magic. Even after targeted protection, they will still be injured a lot in the face of some intermediate and advanced spells.

But if not, what kind of conspiracy did the evil moon goblin transfer some of the legal troops away in advance?
Bellega felt a bit of a headache. Although the two sides were in dire straits, he had to admit that Skarsnik was indeed terrifyingly cunning, and its plot must not be trivial.

While speaking, Bellegar's face was full of confidence and expectation.

Bellegar couldn't help frowning when she heard the words, and there were some bad omens in her heart.

Because before that, he had tried countless times, but all of them ended in failure.

As they continued to advance, the frequency and number of times Li Wei received Luna's reports increased sharply, and she began to encounter various goblins, green skin scouts and patrols very frequently.

The ancestor heroic spirits are extremely resistant to conventional physical attacks, coupled with their almost unlimited physical strength, and the power of many equipment and runes on their bodies, this further strengthens their strength.

In a one-on-one situation, the charging power of the graveyard knight is indeed inferior to that of the big and small hamster wheels, especially the mummy's weight is too light, even if it is a superb riding skill, it is easy to be knocked off the mount.

These two look a bit like unicycles at first glance, so they are also two of the war machines nicknamed hamster wheels.

That is, with the continuous march, one's own troops will continue to be dispersed.

As a celestial mystic, the power he can display in a large-scale battlefield will far exceed that of the opponent, not to mention that there are equally powerful mages such as Mikaela around him.

So Li Wei sent the overseer, Mortetti, and even Cindy and the celestial creatures to help.

Mortride had already withdrawn with her watchman team earlier.

The other party doesn't use it now, but it doesn't mean they really don't have it, so don't take risks.

And there seems to be the appearance of God's Chosen Hero, which undoubtedly brought more pressure to Luna.

After arranging these things a little bit, Bellega immediately took the initiative to find Li Wei and Khalida: "We will continue to march, but we need to leave some troops to garrison here."

They could fight, but they couldn't defend. In this way, the previous price was paid in vain. After all, dwarves can't compete with ratmen or goblins in numbers.

Although they have followed Luna for so long, most of the huntresses have already reached level 5.

In addition, she is strong enough and smart enough, so Li Wei has the greatest degree of freedom for her. She can do whatever she wants, as long as she guarantees her own freedom.
Bellegar stared wide-eyed, carefully looking for the trace of Scar Bloodtail.

"But in this way, our main force is only six or seven thousand."

Now they haven't found any trace of each other. The best situation is that the other party has been killed, and the body has been destroyed by magic, completely dead.

Following a series of orders, the dwarves moved one after another, preparing to form a solid front to resist the impact of the ratmen.

Soon, with the slight vibration of the ground and the ear-piercing cry unique to the Ratmen, a large number of enemies were already approaching.

In the past, Belegar tried to kill the opponent more than once, but the troll had a very strong survivability, and the opponent was a high-level legal system unit, and his wisdom was better than ordinary people. They have never succeeded.

In addition, the giant rats and wolf rats in the nest behind were extremely fast, so once injured and fell down, it was almost impossible for the huntresses to get back up again.

In fact, in the process of recovering Bafeng Mountain in the past, there were more than one times that he was not invincible to the opponent.

Perhaps it won't be long before they will repeat what happened to Belegar before: being besieged by enemy troops dozens of times their own.

However, there are more than 5 rat trolls and giant rats in the nest, with a minimum level of [-], and occasionally there are elite and advanced units, which can already pose an extremely strong threat to the huntresses.

"There are already many, this time we will be able to successfully occupy the fortress city!"

In addition to retaining the original power, there is an additional driver and shooter inside, because the doomwheel is also equipped with two energy guns that emit beams of warpstones.

Compared with the greenskins who rushed straight at them, the rat people were not only more cunning, but also faster and more agile.

Now that they all appear here, it means that the Moss clan, the fifth clan represented by the headhunter Quake, has reached a certain degree of cooperation with these two clans.

"The number of corpses is not right. Even if some of them may have been directly destroyed by magic, it is still not right."

The hamster wheel is the creation of the Skryli clan, one of the four major clans of the ratmen, and the lair giant rat and rat troll are the proud works of the corrupt clan, which is also the four major clans.

Or, the Horned Rat ran over to occupy a floor himself, as Lolth the Spider Queen, Melshok the Snake God, and the Maiden of Fortune did.

However, it is much better for the opponent to jump out now than to run out from behind after the siege battle begins.

Cindy saw the timing, threw a few sacred glaciers, and divided the battlefield a little bit. Luna led the huntresses out of the battle very smoothly, and circled to the back of the dwarf position from both sides.

Gradually, when the sky was slightly brighter and the morning glow was first born, the target fortress city gradually appeared in everyone's sight.

Even this time, in order to pursue speed, he not only consumed a lot of special props, but also asked Li Wei to lead the team to help cast auxiliary magic and so on.

Li Wei could tell that there were more than one God-Chosen hero in it. After all, ordinary aborigines rarely swear at the Three Character Classic.

After listening, Bellegar suddenly became angry, and many ancestors were also filled with righteous indignation.

In order to avoid a large number of casualties, Luna could only fight and retreat while urgently asking Li Wei for help.

It's a pity that it was too happy too early, he had already guarded against this move!

Bellegar nodded vigorously: "I will keep some heroes, as well as a few god-chosen heroes under my command, so that together there will be more than [-] troops, plus arrow towers and trebuchets, etc., enough to resist ten times the enemy."

Kyle and Mikaela also threw out one after another fire magic, this time they don't have to worry about accidental injury.

The few big moves that Li Wei and the others used on Sentinel Peak before had amazing effects, and they directly captured Sentinel Peak.

The evil moon goblins have many shamans and witches, who are their nemesis, but the proportion of legal units among the rat people is obviously much lower, so they don't have so many scruples.

But Khalida's goal has been achieved. Many graveyard knights almost maintained a straight line and stopped all the enemies.

The ogres headed by Brout also charged forward with great strides.

But as they continued to advance, Luna's debriefing also changed.

Before he could ask Cindy or Luna, dozens of thick green mist, which looked very ominous, rolled down from the sky with the sound of several cannons.

Among them, the slightly smaller hamster wheel has a diameter about the height of a person, and there is a ratman behind it as a rider to adjust the direction of travel. Its official name is the destruction skinning machine, which is a fifth-level war machine.

It's just that the defensive power of these hamster wheels is astonishing, even if there are more than a dozen Tomb Generals among the Graveyard Knights, they cannot be quickly eliminated.

Accompanied by the soaring flames and the dense rain of arrows, there was a series of screams and curses in the forest.

After listening, Li Wei naturally knew that the situation was urgent, and he could fully understand why the Ratman chose to launch a snipe here.

Moreover, there are a lot of ratmen and rat monsters in the rear. As long as they don't attack the battle area between the two sides, it can be said that they don't have to worry about hitting empty with their eyes closed.

Fortunately, although the straight-line speed of those two hamster wheels is fast, they are often not flexible enough when turning, so the huntresses can still try their best to deal with them, and the current casualties are not too high.

But then there was another burst of explosions, and a large green fog filled the forest, completely engulfing these sounds.

It's a pity that Bellega's good mood didn't last long. Immediately there was a dwarf ancestor hero that Li Wei didn't know, and reminded Bellega again:

Bellegar's eyes were tearing apart immediately. Not only was the opponent using this terrifying plague move again, but his own side was likely to suffer a lot of casualties, and it was also because he recognized the opponent's voice.

But this time is different. Not only are they numerous enough, they are also elite enough, and they will definitely be able to hold the place they occupy!

"It must be the headhunter-Quick's right paw, that vile ratman who stole the dwarven wealth-Ska Bloodtail!"

Bellegar can naturally see the mobilization of troops on Li Wei's side, and can fully understand what Li Wei has done.

But this does not mean that they really do not have any nemesis, otherwise, even if there is a shortage of troops, Bellegar would have already used them to open up the situation.

Anyway, at this time now, there is no need to hide anything. As long as the enemy is not a fool, they will know that Bellegar has received the help of a powerful mage and is launching a surprise attack on the fortress city.

Now let's take a look at this battle of steel and rock, who will be the final winner!

Li Wei heard the string song and knew the elegant meaning: "I asked Xiaotian to stay with his direct troops, as well as the bears and tigers."

Along with countless dull crashes, everyone witnessed the result with their own eyes.

And the rat trolls, nest giant rats, etc. behind also rushed to them.

Khalida did the opposite. She asked the Tomb Generals to lead the Graveyard Knights to launch a countercharge to cover the retreat of Luna and the others.

The three parties have been fighting for hegemony on Bafeng Mountain for countless years, and the dwarves such as Belega are actually the weakest. The strength of the other two parties is in units of tens of thousands!
On the other hand, Martis didn't know what thought came up, she chuckled, and rode her horse and started to circle around, not knowing what to do.

Li Wei immediately raised his eyebrows. The voice was really cheap, and it was full of sarcasm.

Nearly ten thousand clan rats, slave rats, and thousands of wolf rats, these are pure cannon fodder, there is nothing to talk about.

But because the rider's protection is not strong, it is relatively easy to deal with, kill them, and destroy the skinning machine and become scrap iron.

The larger ones are called Doom Wheels, and they are an enhanced version of the Doom Skinner, with a level up to Tier 6.

Li Wei asked the supervisor and Xiaotian to start searching for the hidden places on the Sentinel Peak with celestial creatures with a more sensitive sense of smell, such as the squirrel, and the shadow elements, to see if there were goblins or green skins hiding in the dark. Make sure nothing goes wrong.

In addition, the Ratman also carried two very special war machines, which were dubbed "hamster wheels" by the chosen heroes.

If the other party goes and comes back, then be prepared to pay several times, dozens of times the price!
After giving some details to the remaining troops, it took a few minutes to divide up the troops, and without much rest, Bellega took the lead to lead the way and headed straight for the fortress city.

But the headhunter's right claw, even if it's not legendary, is probably about the same. If you kill it, you will definitely be one step closer to leveling up!

At the same time, Luna and Cindy also encountered the strongest sniper attack ever, and even they were a little unable to cope, so they could only ask Li Wei for help.

Fortunately, Sentinel Peak didn't have any mineral deposits, and the dwarves didn't dig holes or underground passages here, they just used it as a sentry post.

But this time it was completely different. The opponent's patrol team didn't waste any time at all. All they had to do was march all the way. This undoubtedly greatly increased the success rate of capturing the fortress city.

Although the wind-making technique is only a second-level magic, its effect is undoubtedly very practical.

Especially with the development of the super big WAAAGH of the green skins, the clergy of the church under the command of the green skin gods have also joined in one after another, which makes the opponent's legal troops more and more abundant.

Therefore, in ordinary battles, each of them can easily kill hundreds of goblins and green skins without taking any damage.

But they won because the number of them was several times that of their opponents, so although the Graveyard Knights lost about 200 people in the first wave of collisions, they began to quickly gain the upper hand in the subsequent attacks.

As soon as he raised his hand, the howling wind had already descended, and at the same time Sefa, Sally and others also followed, so the other party's attack hadn't hit the ground, and most of them didn't know where it was blown.

However, most life potions and healing spells are ineffective against them, and the situation will become very embarrassing.

Because once one's own side starts to besiege the fortress city, these hamster wheels will not be of much use in defending the city.

Fortunately, he is not like Bellegar, a warrior who can only swing a hammer to kill the enemy.

But for a while, he got nothing. The opponent's figure, which was obviously different from the ordinary ratman, did not appear on the battlefield.

Not only is the strength and number of the green-skinned scouting team steadily increasing, but also a large number of war beasts such as Squigs and giant spiders have begun to appear. What's more, the frequency of the ratmen's appearance has also increased rapidly.

First of all, the dimension stone is hard to find, and there are almost none in the main world.

Driven by the combination of dimension stone and magic, with rotating blades in the front, they can also spread plagues, and their lethality on the battlefield is extremely amazing.

So even if there are some caves on Sentinel Peak, they must have been dug by the goblins later. They are basically very shallow, and the whole search work will not be particularly difficult.

But they are known for their speed and agility, their defense and health are very weak, and it is impossible to confront these modified monsters head-on.

These two kinds of war machines are not only faster than ordinary heavy cavalry, but also have extremely strong defense. In addition, there are a lot of them, totaling three to four hundred.

This also made Belle and him swear more and more in his heart that after retaking the treasure of Bafeng Mountain, he would definitely not disappoint Li Wei's efforts!

Now the reason why the Ratmen are able to use it on a large scale for various weapons, and even transform monsters such as rat trolls, is definitely because they cooperated with some demon lords in the bottomless abyss.

At the same time, many ancient tomb generals also made preparations and launched a charge with the graveyard knights.

As a Ratman, it not only has an outrageous height of more than two meters, but also has amazing combat power. It killed three antler envoys in seconds with just one axe. Obviously, it is not an ordinary miscellaneous soldier.

Cindy and many celestial creatures are powerful enough to cast various spells such as holy glaciers and big slaps to delay the opponent's advance.

However, whether it is a rat man, a goblin, or a green skin, they are all known for their numbers.

At the same time, a burst of very arrogant laughter also came from a small forest in the southwest of the battlefield:
"Mighty Quick, said he didn't need an ax for cowardly dwarves, dwarven things, so it's Scar's now, yes, yes!"

He immediately synchronized the information to Kalida and Bellegar, and prepared to clean up each other here.

Another ancestral heroic spirit also added: "The number of legal units is also obviously less, at least we didn't find that foul-smelling fish chewer."

Therefore, in many follow-up battles, it will give priority to dispatching a large number of goblin shamans, green-skinned wizards, troll witches, etc. to carry out targeted attacks on the ancestors.

Since Li Wei has been unable to provide her undead cavalry, she has never had any available troops.

Penthesilea, Elegy and the others had enough time to spare and did not launch an attack immediately.

Although it has not been long since the Ratman stole a large amount of research and development information about war machines from the city of Nun in the Sigmar Empire.

So arrogant, so provocative, and repeated many times, if it wasn't Scar Bloodtail, who else could it be?

Even fierce tigers make it difficult for those big cats who are good at catching mice to survive in the vast crowd of rats.

In the end, he could only rely on his own bravery and the help of the dwarf ancestors to forcibly fight a bloody road, and sadly retreated to Bainv Mountain.

The speed of the dwarves is always their biggest shortcoming. Every time he marched before, he was constantly delayed by the enemy's reconnaissance troops, until the opponent gathered an army of tens of thousands and launched a siege to them.

But at the same time, under the night sky, those magics are also extremely conspicuous, and the enemy troops in half of Bafeng Mountain may have noticed it.

Ratmen's Dimensional Stone technology is indeed very powerful in terms of power alone, but it is not absolutely perfect.

So even though Cindy, Luna, and the angels can effectively deal damage, it is difficult for ordinary huntresses to quickly deal with them.

Khalida also echoed: "I still have about [-] elites, leaving [-], is that enough?"

At the very beginning, they did gain the upper hand in the battle against the goblins, but the commander of the goblin side was the legendary goblin from the Evil Moon clan, known for his cunning, Skarsnik, who soon discovered the ancestors of the spirits their weakness.

Thousands of Stormrats often appear as the vanguard and personal guard of many Ratmen heroes, and they are also the top infantry of the Ratmen, but they are only Tier 4, and they are also cannon fodder.

Will the Plague Clan, which likes to spread plagues, and the Eshin Clan, which is rich in assassins, also sell some finished products and mercenaries to headhunters?

However, with the accumulation of countless years of Ratman, the cooperation of many heroes chosen by the gods, and the joint efforts of the god they believe in - the Horned Rat, the Ratman has quickly achieved various results.

They have never seen or eaten such a big mouse in the past, and now they just have a taste of it.

As soon as they hit the flying blade, the opponent didn't feel any pain, but once they were hit head-on by the opponent, they would be seriously injured.

After thinking about it, Li Wei didn't let Donna make a move, nor did he send Mikaela and other mages to fight.

Li Wei started to take Mikaela, Sefa and others together to use various fire spells for support. The so-called hairy and weak fire, these squeaky guys, of course, the fire resistance is not very high.

Li Wei raised his eyebrows. He knew that the only reason why the Ratmen who were accustomed to using spears and swords to willingly switch to the battle ax was that it was far more powerful than ordinary weapons.

The second is instability. Even if they are left in place, there is a certain chance that they will be damaged. Now that they are attacked by this level, they are naturally unable to survive.

No matter how many poisons and plagues the Ratmen had prepared, they had to enjoy it first.

Bellegar, who was still very angry at first, was stunned when he saw this, and then he couldn't help laughing:

"Li Wei, after seeing this scene, I knew that after recovering Bafeng Mountain, I must drink three more barrels of Bergman beer with you!"
