Chapter 440 Ballista Platform and Holy Water Tactics

After a few days, countless undead gathered around the castle. Even if Roger went to the highest point of the tower and looked around, he could only see densely packed undead creatures. 【】

Not only are there undead creatures on the ground, but there are also many hovering in the sky.There are undead chimeras, death griffins, and skeleton hippogryphs in surprising numbers.So much so that Roger sent Hippogryph several times to scout the surrounding situation, but was destroyed by flying undead creatures.Now Roger can only estimate the number of enemies, which should be between 30 and [-].

Although most of the huge number of undead creatures are low-level undead creatures like skeletons and zombies, there are also many super undead creatures like skeleton mammoths and giant skeleton warriors.Roger even saw several dark knights and death lords in the opponent's camp, and it seemed that the undead in a large area around them had already gathered, regardless of their biological level.

However, the number of undead creatures is huge, and there is no shortage of powerhouses like the Lord of Death, but they have always surrounded the castle without any intention of launching an attack.In the past, undead creatures gave Roger the impression that they were always the ones who loved to launch brain-death attacks, and they would not be as calm as they are now.This unnatural situation made Roger vigilant, knowing that there must be something major brewing on the side of the undead creatures, not to mention that they are not moving now, once they attack, it will definitely be a thunderous attack, and they must be carefully guarded against.

To Roger's comfort, the shooting tower of the castle has been upgraded to a ballista platform.He was asking Ralph to lead his soldiers to transport several dwarf ballistas from the castle warehouse to the platform.In fact, Roger could easily place the ballista directly on the platform, but Ralph had come to him several times to ask for something to do, so Roger entrusted them with this task.

The successfully upgraded ballista platform has changed a lot compared with the previous one. Compared with the shooting tower, there is one more platform dedicated to the ballista.The wide platform is enough to place the largest ballista, heavy siege equipment specially used to attack the enemy, such as the ram that hits the city gate, the siege tower that allows soldiers to climb the city wall, and even the trebuchet that directly destroys the city wall. They are the primary targets of the ballista.

In addition to the dwarf ballista that Roger deliberately transported to the platform, the ballista platform originally had two catapults.Although the accuracy of this long-range attack weapon is not as good as that of the ballista, it has a relatively large attack range and is particularly effective against infantry or cavalry.Often a single stone can wipe out a large number of enemies, which just forms a complementary advantage with the ballista with higher accuracy.

Of course, a large number of crossbowmen can also be stationed on the ballista platform, which can launch intensive arrow attacks to the air and to the ground at the same time.For the defenders, the crossbow platform is the building with the strongest defense capability; but for the attacking side, the crossbow platform is undoubtedly the worst nightmare.

"There are quite a lot of undead creatures." Roger on the top floor of the tower looked around for a while, and then couldn't help but muttered to himself: "If these guys can be wiped out, the absorbed soul power is enough Build an army capable of defeating Alonso III..."

Although the risks of fighting so many undead creatures are huge, the benefits are obviously very attractive.Now that Roger is ready to give it a go, he will accumulate more chips for his future.

Roger hurriedly left the top floor of the tower and came to the penultimate floor where Angela lived.Archangel Seraphim was praying. Although Roger came down, he ignored him, and sincerely praised the Supreme God.

Roger also knew that Angela had such a cold personality, so naturally he wouldn't mind it.He waited patiently by the side until Angela finished praying before asking lightly: "How much holy water do we have?"

"Two hundred barrels." Archangel Seraph replied calmly, "As you ordered, I have been praying to the Supreme God for the past few days to make as much holy water as possible, and I will have 260 barrels by tomorrow." .”

This figure shocked Roger, 260 barrels of holy water, even many times more than the sum of holy water in all churches today.This is holy water, not tap water, so much holy water is enough for a whole country.However, Angela produced so much holy water in just a few days. In addition to her strong strength, it also has a lot to do with Seraphim's continuous efforts day and night.

Roger knew that even Seraph Archangel would have to put in a lot of effort to make holy water, so after hearing Angela's words, he couldn't help but thank her gratefully: "Thank you, you have worked hard these days!"

Although Angela didn't show any emotional fluctuations on the surface, Roger's words still made her heart tremble slightly.In Seraph Archangel's memory, no one cared about her so much before, which made her feel a little more fond of Roger, a mortal man.

However, Angela has long been used to hiding her feelings, and she just asked with an expression: "I know that you have people put the holy water into earthen jars separately. What is the purpose of doing this?"

"Hey... I thought you could resist not asking." Seeing that Angela was also curious about his arrangement, Roger couldn't help but smiled triumphantly, "I didn't expect Seraph Archangel to be curious too."

Seeing that Roger was going to show off, Angela didn't ask any more questions and continued to concentrate on praying. Seraph Archangel's reaction made Roger feel a little depressed.But he knew very well that since Angela stopped asking, she wouldn't listen even if he said it, so he simply ended the conversation, went downstairs and left the tower.

In fact, this large number of earthen jars was accidentally discovered by Roger in the warehouse. Obviously, Castle Hub made a mistake when counting the spoils, so these useless earthen jars were left in the warehouse.However, Roger came up with the tactic of using holy water to attack undead creatures after he accidentally discovered these crock pots.

During the battle, throw the crock containing holy water at the undead creatures. The holy water with holy power is the nemesis of the undead creatures, and it will definitely cause serious losses to the enemy.This tactic will only have the opposite effect when fighting other enemies. After all, holy water has only various positive effects on most creatures, so it has not been used on a large scale in previous wars.Because of this, even Angela couldn't think of why Roger would do this. Only Roger himself knew how effective this tactic would be in war.

As soon as Roger left the tower, Ralph hurried up to report: "My lord, all the ballistas are in place. The crocks containing the holy water have also been moved to the ballista platform and the city wall as you ordered!"
