Arad's Sword

Chapter 128
The blow of the Queen of Magic Bullets disappeared under the rainbow light formation, but Midi's offensive had just begun.

The [-] troops launched attacks in turn on the several-kilometer-long front. In the early morning, accompanied by the sound of loud bugles and the sound of heavy drums, the heavy armored soldiers would hold the tower shields and advance layer by layer to the city of Hongguang. , the magician hiding behind them will chant the mantra in unison, and fireballs, thunder and lightning will be released.

However, Seth's army still couldn't hold out, but fought back fiercely with all kinds of dazzling magic under the protection of the city wall.

Since the entire battlefield can be said to be above the magic vein, the magicians on both sides have the opportunity to absorb endless magic power. As a result, the two sides have been at a stalemate, and the confrontation with pure long-range magic has lasted for half a month. up.

Originally, all the way down was like breaking a bamboo, but now it was stopped here, and the generals of the Golden Branch Army were a little impatient.They originally thought that after the barracks were built, they could let go and launch a general attack. Unexpectedly, up to now, Midi still has not invested a large number of troops, but is still constantly testing.

Many young knights were a little impatient, and rushed to the large tent of the Chinese army several times to ask Midi to set a date for the general attack, and some generals tactfully lobbied Fina, intending to make side attacks.

However, Midi remained unmoved, and still insisted on the probing strategy of long-range firepower mutual attack.

In this way, a full 20 days have passed.

Arad calendar 985, September [-]th, night.

In the big tent of the Golden Branch Army, Midi sat quietly, as if she was closing her eyes and recuperating.A single lamp illuminated his face.Although he hasn't made any big moves these days, he has always been cautious in command, so every night he gathers all kinds of intelligence to think about whether there is anything suspicious about the military situation that day, and at the same time predict future trends.

However, at this moment, a gust of cold wind suddenly blew, and the handsome flag embroidered with three golden lions on the front of the big tent rolled up and fluttered in the wind.

During the exhibition, Midi, who was sitting quietly, opened his eyes suddenly, and stood up: "Send the whole army, the general attack begins!"

The sound of the drum suddenly shook the ground, and tens of thousands of lights were suddenly lit in the camp of the Golden Branch Army for half a month, illuminating the entire front of Hongguang City brightly.Heavy infantry in silver armor poured out of the camp, countless silver spear points were held high in the air, and the torches reflected it very dazzlingly.

"The north wind is blowing." Fina's voice sounded.

The red-haired girl also walked out of her big tent at this moment, and stood beside Midi, quietly looking at the camp like a waking dragon.

When the north wind blows, it is the day of the general attack.Apart from Midi, only Fina knew about this matter.

For when the north wind blows, it is the day when the seasons change.

Not only is the Golden Branch Legion on the upwind side easier to attack, but with this subtle change of seasons, the flow of magic veins under Hongguang City will also change. Although it is extremely subtle, for a master of magic power like Fina , but it is enough to form a flaw.

Such unpopular knowledge, even in the great library of the Principality of Belle Mare, cannot be checked in detail.The reason why Midi and Fina knew it was naturally thanks to Alice.

When building the Qiugu Mountain Villa, due to the importance of the matter, it was naturally impossible to use other people's hands. Basically, the Witch of the Mist was in charge of it, with Midi and Fina as the assistants, and the three of them undertook all the work.

It is precisely because of this that Midi's understanding of magic veins and magic circles at this time is much deeper than many so-called scholars, and even himself in the previous life, and it is enough to support the strategic layout.

At this moment, the defenders of the Seth family probably don't know at all that the magic veins under their feet that have been guarding for hundreds of years are undergoing slight changes as always, and Midi's intention is to break the big formation .

However, even if they knew about it and realized it, they would not be able to change the influence of seasonal changes on the magic veins at all. At most, they could only make some temporary changes to the Rainbow Light Formation itself.

It can be said that Midi's strategy is an upright conspiracy, and the competition is the level and strength of magic!
At this moment, since the opening has been revealed, no moment can be wasted.

The [-] heavy knights of the Golden Branch Legion lined up in front, and dozens of craftsmen behind the formation actually erected a new command tower in a short time, which was tens of meters high.Midi climbed to the top of the tower and looked down at the powerful army under his feet. His long white clothes were rolled up by the wind, making it even more eye-catching against the dark night.

Fina has already changed into a military uniform at this moment, her heroic posture is like a Valkyrie descending, the moonlight washes away, and the cool light shines on that beautiful red hair like the autumn maple of Bel Mare, making people dazzled .

The next moment, Fina nodded to Midi, raised her hand and shot a magic bullet.

The azure blue light pierced the night sky in an instant, colder than moonlight, more dazzling than meteors, like a sharp sword drawn from its sheath, announcing the beginning of the general attack.

"Victory! Victory! Victory!"

When they saw this magic bullet, the soldiers of the Golden Branch Legion shouted in unison.

And amidst the surging shouts, in front of the forest of layers of swords, the Seth family has already been awakened like a dormant giant beast.There was a figure flashing in the arrow holes on the city wall, and the torches held high above the city wall illuminated the rainbow city like daytime, and even the dark night sky was stained by the firelight.

The north wind blew up, and the flags on the top of the city were in disarray.

Looking at this shining giant beast, Midi showed a confident smile like a hunter looking at his prey.Then, he waved down the flag in his hand vigorously.

Accompanied by the sound of uniform steps, the sound of metal collisions, and the shouts of soldiers, the cast-iron phalanx began to surge forward like a tide, carrying a terrifying threat to destroy the entire Rainbow City. momentum.

At the forefront are the most elite armored spearmen of the Golden Branch Legion. Under the order of Midi and the illumination of Fina's magic bullet, they raised those giant spears weighing [-] kilograms and with handles as long as six meters. It fell heavily again, each spear was pressed on the shoulders of the spearmen in front, and a dense array of spears was formed like this.Layer upon layer of gunpoints formed a sheet of steel thorns.

Slowly, the phalanx of armored spearmen pushed down the city wall.

At the same time, a large number of siege machines that followed finally emerged from hiding in the camp, one hundred, two hundred... until six hundred catapults, like six hundred huge beasts, from several The exit rolled out of the camp.

This ten-meter-high giant siege machine can launch boulders weighing more than 300 kilograms, with a range of more than [-] meters, which is enough to strike opponents outside the range of elementalists, magicians, and gunners.

However, because it is located under the city, it is still not as good as the range of those trebuchets erected at high places in Hongguang City.

Fortunately, the number of trebuchets secretly set up this time far exceeded the dozens of Hongguang City. Once they attacked at the same time, even the city walls with four horses running side by side would be shaken violently.

Seeing the densely packed siege machines spread out under the city, the generals of the Seth family immediately reacted, and the trebuchets on Hongguang City took the lead in launching the attack.Amidst the heavy whistling sound that tore through the air, dozens of huge stone bullets crossed arcs and smashed straight at Jin Zhi's siege machinery!
However, at this moment, a corresponding number of slender rays of light shot out from the Golden Branch camp, hitting all the stone bullets with incomparable accuracy, smashing them one by one.

In the end, what hit the siege machinery was nothing more than some harmless gravel.

This is Fina's attack. The magic bullet queen's magic bullet can obviously not only be used for offense, but can also be used for defense when necessary.Compared with the cumbersome rainbow array, her strength is obviously much more flexible.

"Quick, order the bed crossbow to launch an attack!" Seeing that [-] siege machines were about to be put in place, General Scar's forehead also broke out in cold sweat. Enough firepower is all thrown in.

But it was useless, the magic bullet fired by Fina still blocked more than [-]% of them.

Occasionally, some fish slipped through the net, but they could only destroy a few siege machines. Facing such a large number, they could hardly restrain them.

And after three rounds of bombing in Hongguang City with little effect, the [-] siege machines that spent a lot of time secretly building were finally ready.

"Shoot!" the siege battalion general roared.

Accompanied by his roar, the friction of gears came and went, and the six hundred siege machines launched their attacks almost at the same time.

The air made a muffled sound like a sack being hit, and at the same time, the silent night sky burned in an instant!
The flames pierced through the air, and hundreds of fire balls pierced the pitch-black night, took a shining arc, and fell towards the top of Hongguang City.

Fire attack!

Under the impact of hundreds of heavy stone bullets, the walls of Hongguang City trembled slightly.At the same time, when these huge fire bombs shattered on the city wall, countless black smoke filled the burning fragments, and the smoke contained a tear-jerking sulfur breath.

Soon, many long-range units hiding in the inner passages of the city wall became unable to stick to their posts because of the black smoke, and had to withdraw from the city wall one after another.The defensive firepower was instantly reduced a lot.

It's not just fire attack, but fire attack plus smoke wave.

Fortunately, the defenders had not encountered similar situations before. They immediately distributed water-stained cloth strips to let those long-range units cover their mouths and noses, and then returned to their posts in the tunnel to continue to stand firm.

This time, the impact of the pungent smell was greatly reduced, but at this time, the Golden Branch Legion had fired several salvos, not only leaving countless cracks on the city wall, but also the fragments of the fire bombs piled up at the foot of the city wall and burned.Thick black smoke rose into the air, smelling of sulfur.The thick smoke was driven by the north wind and poured into all the arrow holes on the city wall. The long-range troops with bows and arrows couldn't see clearly, so they could only shoot arrows and magic aimlessly.

While the defenders were in a hurry, the phalanx of armored spearmen moved forward again, and dozens of siege machines adjusted their posture, aimed at the gate of Hongguang City, and shot one after another in the thick smoke. Inky package.

clap clap clap!
Only the sound of explosions could be heard one after another, and the dark packages burst after hitting the city wall, and the viscous black liquid inside completely stained the city gate.

These liquids seemed to be alive, constantly crawling, and soon covered the entire city gate, and even penetrated through the cracks in the gate.

The centurion who led the team to support the city gate got some liquid on his nose and turned pale with shock when he smelled it, "This is... oil!"
