king of the castle

Siege Weighers are larger ranged weapons than Catapults. 【】This weapon can not only shoot heavier stones, but also has a longer range than a trebuchet.However, the biggest disadvantage of this kind of weapon is that it is complicated to manufacture and difficult to move. As soon as Sutil arrived in Kent Town, he ordered his subordinates to make siege scale vehicles, but the craftsmen rushed to work day and night and only built eight of them until yesterday, which were immediately rejected by Su Thiel went to war.The siege scale truck was parked far away from the range of the catapult, preparing for launch, and the soldiers manipulating the siege scale truck were busy in an orderly manner, preparing for the first round of shooting.Sutil was moving far away from the soldiers, with a bit of worry on his brows.Judging from the performance of the enemy, it has not reached the level of being exhausted and demoralized.Even if the city wall can be destroyed at this time, if you want to rush into the castle, you will have to pay a high price.But since the king gave the order to die, Sutil could only attack regardless of losses.However, Roger would not stand by and watch the enemy destroy the city wall. After discovering the opponent's siege truck, he immediately ordered the Griffin Knights to prepare for battle.

Ever since Murphy was inexplicably thrown from the sky by his mount and fell to his death, the other elves were determined to serve Roger.After receiving Luo Jie's order to attack, the Griffon riders immediately saddled their mounts, and at the same time carefully filled the explosive potion produced by the alchemy laboratory into the special containers on both sides of the saddle. "This is your first real battle, don't panic, just follow the usual training." Roger said loudly to the Griffin Riders: "Your task is to destroy those siege vehicles, Do you understand?" The elves who "obeyed" saluted Roger, and then rode their respective griffins.Although the elves are a race that loves peace and nature, these elves have gone through such a long and hard training for this moment of participating in the battle, so they all seem a little excited.Roger gave the Griffin Riders one last look, and whispered to their captain: "Avella, remember to bring everyone back safely. If it doesn't work, give up the mission. I'll find another way to destroy those siege trucks." Roger Those words surprised the half-elf.She thought that this human being just used herself and her companions as cannon fodder, but she didn't expect Roger to care so much about everyone's life and death.Elvira couldn't help but cast a serious look at Roger, wanting to say something to him but in the end she couldn't speak, she just shouted coquettishly: "Let's go"

The half-elf took the lead and flew in the forefront, and the other griffin riders followed closely behind and flew into the air.Because of the load of a knight, saddle and "medicine", it is a bit difficult for the griffin to fly.The Griffin Knights had to circle around the castle to gain sufficient combat altitude. "Fly, Angry Birds" Roger encouraged the Griffin Riders in his own way, and then rushed back to the city wall to monitor the enemy's movement.Fortunately, the Griffin Riders had already flown away and did not hear Roger's words. Otherwise, half of the elves would have fallen to the ground in anger at his "encouragement".Roger had just arrived at the city wall, and the siege scales had already launched their first round of shooting.These behemoths fired huge boulders larger than the catapult, and flew towards the tall and thick city wall from a distance.Even if the walls of the castle are very strong, if the same place is hit by siege trucks continuously, it will definitely not last for too long, and it will soon become a pile of ruins.Fortunately, this was just a test firing of the siege truck. Most of the medicine either fell to the ground before reaching the city wall, or directly crossed the city wall and fell into the open space of the castle. Roger did not bring any loss.Only one shot hit the city wall, causing several obvious cracks in the city wall.Fortunately, the walls of the castle were strong enough, so they did not lose their defensive capabilities, and they still stood upright as before.

With the help of the eagle eye technique blessed by the magician, Sutil saw this scene clearly.It was a good sign that a siege scale vehicle hit the target in the first round of shooting, and he immediately ordered all the siege scale vehicles to adjust their angles immediately and smash down the enemy's city wall as soon as possible.The soldiers manipulating the siege scale truck started to get busy again. Just as they were preparing to shoot again, the soldier in charge of observation suddenly shouted in horror: "Griffin" is also a very famous monster. He stopped his work and looked up to the sky, and sure enough, he saw a dozen or so griffins approaching rapidly in mid-air.At the same time, Sutil was also in an abnormal situation, and his face, which was still smiling with satisfaction, immediately changed.

Griffons generally live in pairs, and will never gather in a small group like they do now.There is only one possibility for this to happen, and that is that these griffins are raised by humans, and their flight is completely controlled by humans.On the mainland, there is only one kind of person who can control the griffin, the griffin knight, "the crossbowmen dispatched." Seeing this, Sutil ordered loudly without hesitation: "Stop the griffin knight from approaching, and protect the siege truck." The only way for the Griffin Knights to destroy the siege truck is to use the powerful claws and deadly beak of the griffin, so as long as the crossbowmen are ordered to defend strictly, they can prevent these guys from destroying the siege truck.A large group of crossbowmen quickly started to move, aiming at the sky with their bows and arrows, only waiting for the Griffin Knight to fly a little lower before launching the attack.

Elvira rode on the back of the griffin flying in front, and had a clear picture of the situation on the ground.Seeing that the enemy's crossbowmen were already in full battle, the half-elf didn't hesitate at all, and immediately raised his hands and made a series of gestures to the Griffin Knight behind him.Roger specifically reminded the elves to confirm these gestures during their training.The sky is windy and open, and it is most convenient and quick to use gestures to give orders and deliver messages.Elvira's series of gestures mean: the first team is ready to attack, and the second team will cover in the air. "Even when attacking the ground, you must reserve an empty cover." This principle is also a requirement raised by Roger.Although there is no such concept in the world of Turonzo, Roger, who has been poisoned by the earth's air battle, stubbornly believes that if he wants to launch a successful attack on the ground, he must first have mastery of the air.Under Elvira's order, the Griffon Riders quickly divided into two teams, one team continued to hover at high altitude, while the other team lowered their altitude slightly, aiming at the siege scale truck below and throwing explosive potions.The crossbowmen were waiting for the Griffin Riders to fly a little lower before attacking, but unexpectedly, they saw a series of fist-sized round objects thrown from the air.

"What is this, do you want to hit people with stones?" Many crossbowmen had the same thought in their minds, and couldn't help but feel a little contemptuous of the enemies they were facing.Throwing stones from a high altitude may indeed injure people, but the probability of hitting the target is too small.What's more, the stone is too small and the soldiers are wearing helmets, so even if they are really smashed, they may not be injured.Just as the crossbowmen were surprised, the ball dropped by the Griffin Riders had already hit the ground.A series of explosions sounded around the siege truck, smoke and dust flew everywhere, and the scene was in chaos.Many crossbowmen were thrown out heavily by the huge explosion, danced and flew in the air for a certain distance, and then fell to the ground motionless.Some people's bodies were directly torn apart by the explosion, and the internal blood gushed out from the wounds, dyeing the surrounding ground bright red.As the key target of the Griffon Knights' bombing, the siege scale vehicle was also severely damaged by the huge explosion.The main supports of several weighing carts were blown off, and the tall weighing carts fell down with a strange "creaking" sound, crushing several soldiers operating the weighing carts underneath.In addition, although there are still a few that have not fallen, they have completely lost their function, and they can no longer pose any threat to the castle.However, those who manipulated the siege truck were all soldiers under Sutil's command, with strict military discipline and high morale.Although they were attacked unexpectedly, the soldiers operating the other three weighing vehicles continued to fight, hoisting the huge stones used as counterweights at a faster speed.Elvira, who was in mid-air, drove the griffin to climb up again, and at the same time took the time to glance down, and found that the first round of "bombing" had destroyed five of them, and only three were left to continue fighting.When the half-elf looked back, it happened that the remaining three weighing carts were ready to launch, and launched the huge stone with a thunderous force.The accuracy of this attack was much higher, and two of the three stones hit the target.Moreover, these two shots hit the section of the city wall that had been damaged before. After a burst of dust drifted away, that section of the city wall was already half collapsed, and it would be completely in ruins if it was hit by two more shots.

Seeing this, Elvira was also very anxious, knowing that the siege scale vehicle must never be given a third chance to launch.She led the Griffin Knight who had run out of "medicine" to fly high into the sky, and at the same time ordered the other half of her companions to launch a second round of attacks immediately.The griffin knights who were originally in charge of covering Elvira and the others quickly began to dive, but before they descended to the attack height, the half-elf appeared in the sky in the distance, and several griffins appeared in the sky, with knights sitting on their backs. Alonso III's Griffin Knights also dispatched "Go, destroy the enemy." Elvira immediately issued an order in sign language. She and her companions must entangle these enemies so that others can successfully complete the bombing mission.The two teams of Griffin Knights approached quickly in the air, and when they flew to a distance of less than 50 meters, the Griffin Knights of the Thorne Kingdom took the lead in firing with the light crossbow in the saddle.Meanwhile, Elvira and her companions quickly spread out and ascended, using the air combat tactics that they usually explored to meet the enemy. A real air battle inevitably began.
