The mage arrives

Gordon heard the waves of cheers coming from the orc formation.Immediately afterwards, facing the city wall where Gordon was located—that is, in the camp at the north gate of Gaoyan City, groups of orc laborers were like hardworking worker ants, dragging two huge black machines to the front of the formation.

These two machines are the craziest creations of the craziest engineers in the craziest dreams.The criss-crossed wooden frames were wrapped with ropes like vines in the primeval forest, and all kinds of winches, gears, and parts were put together in the most unscientific way, making the two machines look extremely messy.

But I have to admit the fact that these two huge and ugly machines can actually work normally.

"My God, the orcs can actually make such a huge trebuchet?" Sward exclaimed.

The Freyton soldiers on the city wall saw that the Cyclops was acting as a force worker, putting a huge rock weighing at least two tons into the trebuchet, and they immediately felt a huge sense of crisis.

Generally, the trebuchets in Gaoyan City can only fire about [-] kilograms of stone bullets. Even if it is installed in the red giant rock fortress, the largest four gravity trebuchets can only fire about one ton of stone bullets.But the orcs actually have siege weapons that are more powerful than humans, which is really surprising.

And look at the position where the enemy set up the two giant slingshots, which is 500 meters away from Gaoyan City.This has greatly exceeded the range of 1000 to [-] meters on the human side.

Both the power and range were crushed, and the appearance of these two trebuchets.Almost changed the comparison of long-range firepower between humans and orcs.

"To be precise, this is not made by orcs, it can only be regarded as a patchwork." Gordon corrected Sward's words.

He has seen it.The two giant trebuchets were all made up of parts and materials from Freyton's military siege weapons.It is estimated that in order to get these two big guys, the warlord used all the human siege weapons seized in previous battles, and those goblin engineers must have suffered a lot in order to create weapons that satisfied the warlord.It is even possible that Trinity Baptist Church provided some "technical assistance".

No matter what the origin is, the two big machines that appeared in the orc army today are undoubtedly in line with their status as "killer maces".

"Gruda!"

"Gruda!"

"Gruda!"

A short word formed in Orcish.Resounded through the sky.

In the orc language that is so simple that it can even be said to be rough, a series of words related to "big", such as huge, huge, thick, great, etc., can be expressed by the three syllables of "Gruda".For the orc soldiers who were shouting frantically at this time. The word "Gruda" not only describes the huge appearance and great power of the two catapults, but also expresses their worship and admiration for this weapon.

Long!Long!

With two loud bangs, the giant orc catapult was launched.

Two huge boulders weighing more than two tons roared towards Gaoyan City with the momentum of mountains pressing down on the top.However, since the orcs are not like the Freton army, they will polish the stone bullets used by the catapult into a smooth round shape.to improve flight stability.So neither of the two boulders hit the city wall.The first boulder fell 30 meters away from the walls of High Rock City.The huge shock caused by the stone bomb hitting the ground and the splash of soil more than ten meters high.It still made the soldiers on the city wall break out in a cold sweat.

Another boulder flew into the city, hitting the Platinum Temple, the tallest building in Gaoyan City, besides the red giant rock fortress.The medical room in the temple that was specially opened to treat the wounded collapsed instantly, and many priests and wounded soldiers died.

Seeing this terrifying scene, Chuck gasped: "God knows how many times our city walls can withstand such terrifying boulder attacks!"

What he said made the people around him feel terrified.Even if Gaoyan City is so strong, it has experienced countless wars.If you continue to withstand such stone-throwing attacks, it is only a matter of time before you are smashed down.

Everyone turned their attention to the mage wearing the dark red salamander cloak.They are able to raise arms.Fighting bravely and fearlessly with the orc soldiers, but facing the two terrifying giant orc catapults, they can do nothing but hope that this mage who has brought miracles time after time will stand up again, turn the tide.

"Although you are looking at me like that, I really... well, I do have a way to deal with those two trebuchets." Gordon shrugged.He found that as an excellent mage who always likes to be prepared to deal with various situations, he sometimes has to be a firefighter to solve various troubles.

It seems that being an idle mediocre person also has his happiness.

Gordon waved his hand and called Dudley to him.The mage apprentice has been staying in the laboratory to help Gordon, or maintain the Black Titan, and has never been on the city wall.So after witnessing the cruel battlefield scene today, his face was pale and he didn't speak much.

But Gordon greeted him, and Dalinar could only run over.

"How is it, are you still used to it?"

Dalinar smiled wryly and shook his head: "My lord, when I see those orc corpses with their brains cracked or their flesh scalded with tar under the city wall, my legs feel weak. I don't think I'm suitable for the battlefield."

"Even if it doesn't suit you, you have to get used to it." Gordon said unquestionably, "Otherwise, when the critical moment comes and you need to stand up, your legs are weak and you can't even pronounce a spell. What should you do?"

"I... I'll do my best..." Dudley nodded with a bitter face.Since he got a generous reward and a great prospect from Gordon, he had to endure this bit of suffering no matter what.

"Okay." Gordon patted the shoulder of the mage apprentice, "You know what I want you to do, start measuring the distance."

Dalinar looked at the direction of Gordon's finger, the two huge orc catapults in the distance, and nodded.

The enemy has already started the second round of reloading, and the two machines must be destroyed before that.Let them launch one more time, and Gaoyan City will be more dangerous.

Dalinar took out a long-tube optical range finder from his trouser pocket, and began to accurately measure the exact distance from here to the enemy's trebuchet positions.

Gordon, on the other hand, took out the dark green spinel necklace and summoned the black titan.

This golem, which once killed two one-eyed demons, has become a symbol of Freyton's victory against the orcs under the deliberate propaganda of Grand Duke Rob Antello.

As soon as the iron giant's huge, shiny black body appeared, it immediately aroused bursts of cheers from the soldiers.

"Freeman!"

"Freeman!"

"Freeman!"

The cheers first sounded on the section of the city wall where Gordon was, and then quickly spread to other defense areas, and the entire Gaoyan City boiled.

"That damned sorcerer is deceiving people again!" Elhoka gritted his teeth and looked at the sorcerer standing on the city wall in the distance.

The flag officer belonging to the Vanguard Cavalry Regiment of the Winter Claw Legion was standing beside Knight Durlington at this moment.He originally accompanied Dellington up the city wall to check the situation of the battle, but who knew that he encountered a scene where Gordon was showing off—this made El Hoka very upset.

"Relax, Elhoka, jealousy and hatred can only be your mental distortion, and then you make irreversible mistakes." Derrington said lightly, and then continued to look far away to observe the layout of the orc barracks.

However, although this handsome silver-haired knight said it easily and freely, what he thought in his heart was another matter.

"Master, you are magnanimous and have the virtues of chivalry, but that despicable mage doesn't necessarily know good and evil. Last time in Fort Saivato, he humiliated the flag of our cavalry regiment without a trace of repentance. With the relationship of the Grand Duke, he again Showing off at the celebration ceremony and fooling all those stupid civilians! We heroic knights charged into battle and fought bloody battles with orcs, but we can’t compare to a mage who hides in the dark and manipulates ridiculous metal dolls, it’s unreasonable!"

Seeing the resentful El Hoka, Derrington seemed to have uncovered the scar in his heart, and his cheeks twitched slightly.However, he still controlled his emotions very well, just glanced at the huge golem named Black Titan, and didn't say anything.

Deep down in his heart, Durlington wished he could tear Gordon into pieces thousands of times.But on the surface, he has to maintain his demeanor and maintain his image of a perfect knight.

Concession and humiliation time after time made Dellington's hatred for Gordon even deeper.Especially after the celebration ceremony where he was finally reduced to a supporting role, Dellington rarely lost his temper, smashed a mess, and finally vented his anger on his sister Avran's plump and delicate body before he calmed down.

But he still broods.

It's a pity that with the development of the war, Dellington's plan to seize the opportunity, make outstanding contributions, and severely suppress Gordon's limelight has completely failed.

In the battle of defending the city, the elite cavalry led by him had no room to play at all, so they could only serve as a reserve team in the barracks and stand by at any time.Only occasionally, like today, could Derlington go up to the top of the city to check the battle situation in person, in order to dispel some anxiety in his heart.

On the contrary, Gordon, the hateful mage whom Durlington regards as his deadly enemy in many aspects, has greatly increased his reputation because he developed the "Dragon Fan" that defends against the poisonous mist flying dragon, and is regarded by the soldiers and civilians in Gaoyan City as a Heroes come to worship.And myself, but because I can't find the opportunity, I have been doing nothing.

Although with his incomparable handsome appearance, Durlington still has groups of women who recommend themselves as pillow mats to enjoy every day, but these are not what he pursues.This new generation, whose high hopes are placed by the Eisenstein family, wants to make contributions in this war and become the rising new hero of the empire.But now, he found that his light had been completely overshadowed by Gordon.
