"Huh——" Only at this moment did the City Lord Zhujubo heave a sigh of relief and prepare to organize defense.
"I have to hold on for at least a month."
He gritted his teeth secretly.
Fortunately, this task was not too difficult in the eyes of City Lord Zhu Jubo.
Chapter 152 - Benefits of Upgrading
[Although it is unclear why Zamplin, the ultimate target of this world, suddenly turned his attention to the host...]
But I think it should be a good thing.
System 12345 pondered.
[But we can put her matter aside for now.]
[Let’s continue with some side dishes——Hehehe. 】
This time, system 12345 released a new portrait again.
The woman in the portrait is wearing a mysterious veil, has slightly dark skin, and is covered with gold and silver ornaments.
[Looks like a desert dancer, doesn't it?]
【But it’s not true.】
[She is a powerful wizard. Others never know her name and only call her the Sand Lizard Queen.]
[Extremely skilled at controlling desert monitors.]
[Host, you're currently using the ghost-beast style—how about that? How about getting rid of her?]
System 12345 laughed strangely.
[Of course, since the opponent is a wizard, you still have to be careful, host.]
【Well……】
I seem to have found a problem.
System 12345 pondered for a moment and suddenly realized.
It seems like all the tasks I have completed before are the mission objectives!
As for the specific steps in the middle, they were all done by the host himself——
It seems like I didn't play any guiding role?
How can this be done?
It’s completely impossible to exercise my overall ability!
After all, my graduation should be a foregone conclusion now.
What I should pursue now is excellence!!
System 12345 makes the decision immediately.
This mission will be personally handled by me, guiding the host step by step to complete the mission! !
[Host, the Sand Lizard Queen often asks cities to pay tribute to her.]
[Host, you can first rush to one of these cities, hide, and then...]
[Hey, host, have you approached one of them? ]
【That would be great.】
System 12345 quickly cleared the fog from Zhujubo City.
[Host, come this way! !]
The city lord Zhu Jubo did not overestimate his military level. He believed that he could defeat the army of hundreds of thousands of Terracotta Warriors and Horses under the strong city by his own strength.
Holding on for a month is a more reasonable time.
After all, this city has strong defenses, deep trenches and fortifications, sufficient food and grass, and an army of nearly 20,000 capable and battle-hardened soldiers and thousands of powerful war slaves.
In addition, there are a large number of adventurers and mercenaries from all corners of the world——
Even if the enemy has hundreds of thousands of people, it can be done as long as we hold on for a period of time.
At that time, when the Tumo reinforcements from other cities arrive, the Sand Lizard Queen and the Lion Whisperer will strike those Terracotta Warriors from behind.
The Tang army will be defeated!
Of course, a certain delay is necessary.
He immediately ordered several envoys to go and negotiate in a fake manner.
Anyway, the Tang army also needs to set up camp and build siege equipment, so it would be a waste of time if we don’t talk about it.
What's more, even for the Tang army, facing such a strong city, a strong attack would be a bad strategy, and they would have to mainly negotiate and surrender.
If I could show a little lack of confidence during the negotiation, as if I were considering surrendering, and let the Tang army know—
That would very likely lead the Tang army to be deceived!
As long as such a false signal is released to the Tang army, making them feel that there is hope of surrender, more time can be bought for the arrival of reinforcements.
"Give me a little excitement."
Zhu Jubo City Lord gave instructions.
"It doesn't matter how much you curse them in your heart as Tang slaves or Tang bandits."
"But you keep saying things like, 'Call the Tang Dynasty's Royal Army and Heavenly Soldiers from the Upper Realm,'"
"Anyway, flattery never wears out..."
He knew that the people of the Central Plains had this kind of character. He didn't know how many foolish generals had lost themselves in the sound of "heavenly soldiers" -
He was defeated and died shortly afterwards.
Maybe he could replicate it?
The envoys held large flags, carried valuable gifts, and rushed towards the Tang army with the hope that the Lord of Zhujubo City could delay time.
Then the sky became gloomy, as if there were dark clouds all over the sky, blocking the sun and depriving it of the right to shine on the earth.
"No!!" the messengers shouted in panic.
Because what greeted them was neither the majestic, disciplined, brave and warlike Tang army, nor the civil officials holding imperial seals with arrogance and disdain in their eyes.
The dark mass that covered the sky was the overwhelming crossbow arrows.
“Swish swish!!”
Hundreds of thousands of sharp crossbow arrows rained down upon the defenseless Tumo messengers, tearing open their gorgeous clothes and piercing their fragile bodies.
If you are hit by one arrow, there is always a second arrow. If you are hit by the second arrow, there is always a third arrow.
Arrows poured down like a rainstorm!
The dense crossbow arrows were like piranhas in the deep water, tearing at their prey frantically, taking away a piece of flesh and blood with every pass.
A moment later, the messengers were completely torn to pieces by the crossbow arrows!!
If there were a coroner to examine the cause of death at this moment, perhaps they would be able to find a small number of corpses among the large number of crossbow arrows.
"What does he mean!?" City Lord Zhu Jubo was dumbfounded.
Are the Tang army generals on the opposite side so stubborn?
You don't even give me any face?
Faced with such a strong city, you don’t even have the idea of negotiation?
"So—what are you doing?" Mia Zora was also full of doubts.
The other side knew at a glance that they were envoys coming to negotiate, but Shu Yichao's response was to shoot them all into porcupines.
"Don't you think—" Shu Yichao pointed to the sky happily, his eyes shining.
"The sight of thousands of arrows shooting out at once, turning day into night, is super cool, isn't it?"
When would there be a chance for the Terracotta Warriors to draw their crossbows and fire at the same time?
I have finally come across this opportunity, so I can't let it go.
"..."
I really can't understand this grandson's train of thought.
He really has gone crazy.
Mia Zora thought silently.
Just when the Lord of Zhujubo City was still shocked by the sudden annihilation of the delegation.
Something even more unexpected happened.
The surging Terracotta Army did not follow his imagination, setting up camp first, surrounding the city from all directions, and then building siege equipment.
Instead, they headed straight for the city!
"hiss--"
The city lord Zhu Jubo was stunned.
"Is that necromancer mentally ill?"
"Even if the Terracotta Warriors are just expendable combat puppets, they shouldn't be wasted like this."
Hundreds of thousands of them!
How long will it take to accumulate this? Maybe even ten years!
Rushing straight up, do you think the defense of Zhujubo City is not strong enough?
"Raise the shield," he ordered quickly.
"Let those terracotta warriors get their heads bruised and bloody, and teach that necromancer a lesson—"
The gray Terracotta Warriors rolled over like a rushing mudslide.
The first line of defense they faced was the moat and ditch outside Zhujubo City.
When ordinary troops arrive here, their speed will definitely slow down.
Then they were defeated by various defensive weapons on the city walls.
The Terracotta Warriors are no exception.
"Zizi--crackling!" The Thunder Defense Tower was the first to show its power.
The terrifying thunder, like a thunderbolt that broke through the sky, turned into hundreds of thousands of silver snakes and slammed into the Terracotta Warriors' army.
Terracotta Warriors have higher magic resistance than Skeletons.
But to be honest, the extra magic resistance is just a drop in the bucket.
In an instant, wherever the silver snake danced wildly, the Terracotta Warriors collapsed!
Bones turned to charcoal, mud turned to scorched earth—
Countless terracotta warriors were blown into the sky, and then turned into a rain of mud and fell back to the ground with a crackling sound.
Because some of the broken pieces were quite large, they even knocked over a considerable number of terracotta warriors when they fell.
In addition, there are ravines full of spikes and turbulent moats underfoot.
In a short period of time, countless Terracotta Warriors fell down and could never get up again.
"Whoosh——" The next moment, the fire bunker showed its power.
The scorching flames turned into red strips, devouring the Terracotta Warriors like a giant dragon's greedy tongue licking its prey.
The flames spread from one terracotta warrior to another, turning them into fireballs.
"preparation--"
"Shoot!" The archer on the top of the city took out the magic-breaking arrow with a little light, and opened the bow with a bang, shooting arrows -
They didn't need to aim deliberately at all, the Terracotta Warriors and Horses rushing towards them were so crowded that they could hit them even with their eyes closed.
