Throne of the Warlord

Chapter 74 Siege
But Li Qing's attention is not on these mud puppets and rock puppets, but on the five-meter-tall steel puppets in the center of many puppets, the whole body is made of high-strength steel mixed with precious magic materials such as mithril and fine gold. .

Steel golem, sixth-order extraordinary level.

The combination of steel and magic materials made his defensive power soar to an outrageous level, even a large bed crossbow couldn't do anything about it.

There are many kinds of weapons for steel golems. In addition to the two-handed giant sword, there are also heavy weapons such as heavy axes, war hammers, and long-handled broadswords. Different weapons can be configured according to different enemies.

There are even two quivers within his transformable arms from which he can fire powerful crossbows.

This kind of puppet with all-steel structure is ridiculously strong in defense, and it is basically irresistible in a conventional battlefield. To be honest, if there is no dragon guard, this steel puppet alone can sweep him away.

Just can't move.

The extraordinary great mage didn't show up, but Li Qing knew very well that he must be controlling the group of about [-] constructed puppets in the rear.

Tens of thousands of troops, surrounded on all sides, slowly pushed towards the central city.

Li Qing stood on the side of the city wall close to the Snake Lord, with a gloomy face, and looked coldly at the rapidly approaching team. When the front row of enemies entered the range of the archers, he raised his hand expressionlessly:

"Second Shooter Squadron prepares to launch."

After a few seconds, wave vigorously:
"emission!"

As soon as the words fell, the fifty shooters in the shooter squad shot their arrows at the same time, drew a long arc in the air and fell into the crowd, and there was a scream immediately.

But this also means that the battle has officially begun, and the slowly advancing snake army has also begun to accelerate.

A large number of gnolls raised long ladders and rushed towards the city wall under the cover of a large number of lizardman shooters. The crowd behind was commotion, and it didn't take long to see two tall trebuchets being slowly pushed over.

"It's well prepared!"

Li Qing let out a breath, took out the war magic book, an energy card shattered, and the energy was injected into the magic book and transformed into spellcasting energy, and soon a ball of light shining with tiny lightning condensed.

The war magic book raised the ball of light and flew up, grabbed it and threw it into the battlefield, turning into a flash of lightning and shooting into the crowd of lizards.

War Magic - Magic Lightning.

The lizardmen were completely unable to resist the power of the magic lightning. A circular lightning field with a diameter of 30 meters exploded. The group of lizardman shooters in the dense battlefield could not dodge at all, and could only endure it abruptly.

"War magic?"

"War Magic!"

Several voices sounded at the same time.

But one is the great lord of the snake people, and the other is not here, but in the distant Blackstone Tower.

Instructor Rob Cheng routinely used the Blackrock Tower to monitor and develop the plane today, and routinely scanned the High Lord of the Snakeman Kingdom who was qualified to pose a huge threat to the apprentices. When scanning the High Lord Hashem, he found anomalies.

He found that the great lord of Hashem was not in the city, the chief archmage of the territory had disappeared, and most of the garrison had left the barracks.

He immediately looked around, and soon discovered that Hashem's army was attacking a city in the field not far from Hashem City.

Half a minute later, after scanning the defenders in the city, Robert Cheng showed a hint of surprise on his face. This turned out to be the army of a war lord's apprentice.

Although he didn't know how the city came to be, this incident itself was very surprising, and he also recognized the besieged person as Li Qing, who had seen it before.

Seeing this scene, he already decided in his heart that Li Qing was about to suffer this time.

It was a pity in his heart. After all, he had a good impression of Li Qing before, and he also knew that his potential and strength were good. This time, he opened up the top ten cases among all the apprentices under the names of the six mentors, which is considered excellent.

But I didn't expect this to happen.

"It seems that this time Teacher Nie Yang"

Just as he was in a trance, he suddenly saw Li Qing take out a large thick leather book and open it, and then the pages of the book lit up, and a flash of lightning flew out and blasted away to clear a blank space.

He was stunned for a moment, and in the next second he quickly controlled the Blackstone Tower to zoom in. Just before Li Qing closed the war magic book, he saw the super complicated magic circle on the surface of the magic book and the still beating residual lightning.

"This is."

He opened his mouth slightly, the shock in his eyes lingered for a long time, and he didn't say that word for a while.

"Fuck!"

He pondered for less than ten seconds, and immediately opened a communication, and Nie Yang appeared on a little light curtain, and asked with a smile:

"What, did you find something good?"

Luo Bocheng shook his head and asked with a serious face:

"Old friend, has your apprentice Li Qing contacted you recently?"

Nie Yang froze for a moment and asked:

"Yes, some time ago he told me that he was going to attack Hashem City, and I plan to notify the mentors after he is in place. Why, did he do it?"

"Confused, how could you agree!"

Nie Yang spread his hands and said:

"I also persuaded him, but he said that he was sure. I could only state the risks to him and persuade him. If he insists on going, I have no choice."

"You"

Rob Cheng pointed to his old friend and said suddenly:
"Do you know what I just saw?"

"what?"

"look by youself."

Speaking of Luo Bocheng sharing the monitoring screen rights to Nie Yang, a large light curtain appeared in front of Nie Yang's eyes, and after a while of shaking, the back was clear, revealing the fierce battle.

With a glance, Nie Yang knew that his apprentices had been surrounded by the army of snakemen.

He frowned involuntarily, and said a little:
"Why was he surrounded by an army of snake men in the wild?"

"How do I know, and that's not the point."

"What's the point?"

"Look at the magic book your apprentice is holding."

Nie Yang cast his eyes on the battlefield again, and just happened to see Li Qing open the magic book in his hand. He was not paying attention just now, and didn't notice this.

This time, his eyes were directed at the magic book. He saw Li Qing open the magic book, put his hand on it and mutter something, a few beams of light shot up into the sky, exploded into countless white lights and fell on the city wall, and then he saw all the people who were killed A magic shield light ball appeared on the soldier touched by the white light.

"Is this a magic book?"

"What do you think."

"How could he have a magic book?"

"You don't know even if you are his mentor, how would I know."

The two sides were silent for a few seconds, and Nie Yang bowed his hands to Robb Cheng:
"thanks for reminding!"

Robert Cheng smiled:

"What do we say about our relationship? I won't say too much. Go ahead and see if there is anything you can help."

Nie Yang nodded, and immediately contacted the other five mentors after closing the communication, and immediately informed them that the war between Li Qing and the snake-man Lord Hashem had begun, and asked them to abide by the agreement.

Some of the instructors didn't care, some were a little surprised, and some were thoughtful, and quickly contacted the direction of the Blackstone Tower.

Nie Yang ignored what the mentors were thinking, and immediately contacted Li Qing's God Realm after the announcement, and soon contacted An Erqiu who was in charge of the God Realm. He said in a deep voice:
"You leave 100 people to guard the house, and immediately lead all the people you can mobilize to Hashem City to support your lord. Don't worry about the house. No other apprentices will attack you within a month."

An Erqiu was stunned for a moment when he received the news, and then immediately reacted, thanked the instructor, and turned to summon the territorial army.

The defenders of the territory were only in their early [-]s. After An Erqiu thought about it for a while, only [-] soldiers were left to defend the city at home.

As the instructor said, if there are no other war lord apprentices to do it within a month, the territory will not be in danger.

The nearby alien races had been wiped out early, and the only threat was the snakemen in Hashewi city. Now Li Qing was fighting with the great lord of the Hashewi snakemen, and they definitely couldn't spare their hands. Fifty soldiers were enough to guard the house.

The procession left the castle to the great river, and went down the river.

Just five or six kilometers away, An Erqiu saw the troops on the other side of the river, and they quickly converged to find Xie Zhu who was escorting a large number of civilians back.

He immediately stepped forward to tell Xie Zhu the news, the two of them combined and released the escorted civilians where they left off. The two teams joined together with a total of about 350 people and rushed down the river to support Li Qing.

But on the battlefield, the Snakeman had launched a full-scale attack at this time.

A large number of kobold cannon fodder mixed among the gnolls rushed to the bottom of the city wall carrying a long ladder. A group of gnolls worked together to lift the ladder on the city wall, and a large number of kobold cannon fodder climbed up the ladder.

Seeing this, Li Qing immediately used a large amount of wood to make long poles five to six meters long in the space in his palm and took them out for his subordinates to use.

There is a fork at one end of the long pole that can be pushed against the top of the ladder, and several soldiers push the ladder away from the top of the city together, causing the soldiers climbing on the ladder to fall down.

Of course, you can only push away ordinary long ladders. If it is a long ladder with an inverted hook on the city wall, you can only push it away by cutting off the inverted hook.

Ignore this kind of ladder, only push away the ladder without barbs, and minimize the enemy's upper city points.

A large number of jackals and kobolds came up along the ladder, and the soldiers who had been waiting for the battle guarded the ladder to go upstairs, and chopped one up as soon as they came up.

The jackals and kobolds were not strong enough, even if they could climb the city wall, they would not be able to stand up, and they almost died as many as they came.

Hashim, the lord of the snake people, supervised the battle from a distance, and he didn't blink his eyelids in the face of the death of many of his subordinates, but kept driving cannon fodder to consume the enemy's physical strength.

No one would expect cannon fodder to capture a city. The only function of cannon fodder is to consume the enemy's physical strength and vitality, especially the arrows of the archers.

From Hashiway's point of view, this army can't even see the logistics. The archers carry countless arrows, and when they are exhausted, there is no long-range power. When the time comes, the snake people they rely on, and the one sent by Master Kenting If the puppet legions jointly launch an attack, they will definitely be able to attack the city in one fell swoop.

Bloody, cruel, and the most primitive cold weapon fighting has always been ugly.

The Snakeman side didn't send out the mage team from the beginning to the end, but only sent cannon fodder and servants to consume.

On the other hand, Li Qing opened the war magic book from time to time, releasing magic lightning to bombard the enemy's long-range lizardmen team outside the city. Given the enemy's siege density, each magic lightning can kill at least hundreds of lizardmen and a few unlucky people. of other races.

But for the snake-man coalition with a total number of tens of thousands, this loss is completely affordable.

After all, magic lightning only comes once every 15 minutes, and the frequency is too low.

The only thing that keeps the muscles on Hashim's face beating is the Dragon Shou's breath. The maximum width is 19 meters and the maximum distance is 45 meters. The total range is almost comparable to the killing range of magic lightning.

The key point is that his breath does not have a 15-minute cooldown, and it takes only a dozen seconds for him to start charging for the second breath of the dragon's breath.

At the beginning, Hashiway, the lord of the Snake People's Congress, had a stable mentality. It's not like he's never seen a blood warlock before. This kind of ability requires physical strength. The greater the power, the greater the consumption.

But he didn't expect Long Shou to have the crystallization of pure flesh and blood essence and pure soul essence to restore physical and mental strength.

After taking eight puffs in one breath, Long Shou's aura declined at a speed visible to the naked eye, which made the Lord Hashiway, who had been observing, nod in his heart and feel relieved.

But what he didn't know was that Li Qing took out two crystals of soul essence and five crystals of flesh and blood essence and handed them to Long Shoufu, and recovered his exhausted physical and mental strength in one breath.

It is worth mentioning that the strength of Longshou's bloodline at this time is LV3, the concentration is far higher than before, the strength has also reached the fifth level, and the upper limit of physical strength is N times the original.

But the dragon's breath spell is only LV2, so the stamina consumption is not the original 15% per mouthful, but 10% of the physical strength per mouthful, so there is still a lot of physical strength left after spraying eight consecutive mouthfuls.

But because of the increase in the upper limit of physical strength, it used to be possible to restore almost all physical strength with one crystal of flesh and blood essence, but now it takes five to replenish it.

The spiritual power has also increased dramatically. The reason why only two breaths are needed to fill it up is that breathing out dragon breath does not consume as much mental power as physical strength, so the spiritual power consumed by the eight mouthfuls of dragon breath just now is not a lot. Only two breaths are enough. Can restore full.

The fully replenished Dragon Shou reappeared at the head of the city in good spirits, opened his mouth and spewed out another mouthful of dragon's breath in the surprise of the Snake Lord Hashiway.

"This"

He was speechless.

But he didn't say anything, just watched his subordinates continue to attack.

It's not too strange to have potions that restore physical strength, but the amount of such potions should not be much, and they can still be consumed.

But this time Long Shou received Li Qing's guidance, and the target of the dragon's breath was the place where the ladders gathered. A breath of dragon's breath not only killed a lot of people, but also burned the ladders by the way.

Five dragon breaths went down in a row, five ladders were burned, and the pressure on the city wall dropped sharply.

Seeing this scene, Hashiway couldn't bear it anymore, and ordered in a deep voice:
"Let the mage group prepare to shoot, and use the fossil-to-mud spell to open the city wall, and in addition."

He paused for a moment and said to the female snake mage next to him:
"Master Kenting, please cooperate with us and jointly launch an attack."

The female snake mage nodded, took out a red quiver from her bosom, ignited the tail and shot it out, and exploded in the air to form a strange red pattern.

Then, the golem puppet legion that hadn't attacked before 50 meters away from the city wall began to move. A large number of clay golems separated, and the tall steel golem walked towards the city wall with heavy steps.

But Li Qing's attention was not here, but the back of the steel golem.
