The riots in the city were quelled once again, and with the help of the city defense forces, order was restored in Rome.
"Is that... the flag of the Saint?"
"As long as Saint Helen is here, we can survive."
"Rome has a saint, the royal family has a queen, the army has a regent, and the empire will win!"
……
Compared to the excitement of the Roman people, the players in the lower city climbed up the city wall with anticipation and excitement to watch this epic scene.
Boom——
Boom——
Shell after shell landed on the magic barrier, creating visible ripples. The most conspicuous thing below was not the cross on top of Hagia Sophia, but Helen's military tents and flags.
"It feels like the Battle of the Five Armies from an ancient movie. It's so cool."
Among the players, Victor couldn't help but sigh.
"Why did the artillery fire stop?"
When Victor was immersed in this atmosphere, he suddenly heard his sister's questioning voice.
Victor turned around in surprise, his eyes swept past his sister's surprised expression, and picked up the telescope to look out of the city in the distance.
Above the horizon, huge cannons were pushed over by the goblins. Even a modern man like Victor was shocked by the huge gun barrels.
"Oh my god, this, this caliber is at least 700 mm, right?" Victor put down the telescope and swallowed.
"I suddenly feel that it's okay for the goblins to enter the city. They are the real Rome." Levi also put down the telescope in his hand.
"You kid!" Victor stretched out his index finger and shook it at Levi.
Levi shrugged. "I'm just saying this. The idiot planner wouldn't let us vote, otherwise I would have wanted to play the Goblin tank a long time ago."
"...Sixty-eight, sixty-nine!" Anna put down the telescope and said to the two, "The enemy has at least sixty-nine artillery pieces of 700mm or larger, and there are also Transcendents around using their Transcendent abilities to enchant."
"Extraordinary artillery? It certainly cannot be regarded as the Urban Cannon in history." Levi touched his chin.
Anna picked up the telescope again and looked for a while, then found that the goblins began to transport super large iron balls into the cannon, and the extraordinary people around them were still enchanting the iron balls.
"Um, how about we leave the city wall first?" Anna put down the telescope with a cold sweat.
"Fuck, guys, we're going offline first."
The ones who reacted faster than Anna and the others were the guild leaders headed by Mares and Chunjun. Those who could become leaders were basically smart, so when they saw the goblins starting to load the shells, they immediately logged off and ran away.
Anna and Levi followed closely behind, but Victor was the only one who ignored him and even picked up the telescope to continue looking.
"You're a bunch of cowards. Let me see... huh?"
In Victor's field of vision, he saw the fuses of sixty-nine Urban cannons ignited with flames, and the goblins around who were lighting and loading shells were all terrified and keeping their distance from the cannons.
boom----------
Accompanied by a loud bang, Victor became deaf and only saw a dozen Urban cannons exploding due to barrel bursting. The rest was an overwhelming rain of iron balls.
Boom!
Boom!
Boom!
The magic defense barrier shattered in the blink of an eye and lost its protective effectiveness. The second line of defense, the tall Roman city wall, bore the remaining impact and explosion. Fortunately, it was still strong and there were no major gaps, but it was also riddled with holes.
Victor also fell from a high place and became the first player to be killed by the aftershock of the artillery shell.
"Brothers, hurry up and get online!"
Victor, who was in the dormitory, took off his helmet and turned on the public channel to shout.
Chapter 139: Attacking Goblins【4K】
The goblin warmaster Wochika put down the telescope in his hand and waved his hand with high spirits.
"Everyone, the siege begins!"
As soon as he finished speaking, a huge army of goblins and human servants gathered together and launched an attack on the walls of Rome.
A large number of ladders and tall mechanical siege vehicles were advancing in a mighty manner, with no end in sight.
However, the players on the city wall were not afraid at all and threw stones and hot oil on the wall.
These things were not prepared by the players themselves, but by the city defense forces. When they were handed over, the city defense forces repeatedly reminded the players to use them up and not to provide aid to the enemy, so the players had no psychological burden in using them.
For a while, the goblins were unable to capture the city and suffered heavy losses.
The players on the city wall were having a great time. They stood on the high ground and killed each other one by one to get points. It was so cool.
So the players turned into shameful snipers, becoming despicable guys hiding in high places to score points, cleverly hiding in hot oil barrels, and when their bullets or arrows were used up, they immediately came to the side and poured them towards the place where many goblins gathered.
Victor, who had just finished class, came online and saw the scene of thousands of people trying to get points. He was immediately furious and picked up the heavy crossbow he bought with his own money to get points.
"This position is full!" Lu Xiaofei kicked Victor away who was following him.
Victor was furious, then stepped on Lu Xiaofei's head and shot an arrow.
"Damn it! Stop stepping on my head! It's interfering with my vision!" Lu Xiaofei cursed. "Ah, that head is mine! My points!!!"
"It's a sin that so many heads were wasted by my teammates!" Victor shook his head in a very sad tone.
Just as the two were arguing with each other, Anna came up to them with a longbow.
"Brother, I have a bad feeling. Why did the enemy retreat?" Anna asked worriedly.
Lu Xiaofei and Victor thought that Anna didn't get any points, so they tried to comfort her and gave her some pointers.
"Um... I'm still in first place, so I don't really need the points." Anna scratched her cheek embarrassedly. Otherwise, she wouldn't be able to paddle with a bow.
Victor and Lu Xiaofei, who were more than 5,000 people away, shut their mouths.
"The enemy suffered heavy losses, so retreating is natural." Claire, holding two muskets, came to Anna's side and asked, "What are you worried about?"
Anna puffed her lips slightly, "Sixth sense."
Claire smiled and handed Anna a musket, "Want to come to my place?"
"No need, I'll go check with the NPC." Anna waved her hand and turned to walk towards the exit.
"My sister's intuition is quite accurate. How about we listen to her?" Victor touched his chin.
bang——
With a scream, a human servant died at the foot of the city wall.
"Oh huh, I earned another hundred points!" Lu Xiaofei stuck out his tongue, his face full of joy.
Victor's hesitation to retreat suddenly disappeared, and he immediately joined in the scoring.
Claire hesitated for a moment, then joined the sniping to score points.
By this time, Anna had already descended the city wall and arrived at the exit. After a few words with the city defense forces, she entered the 33rd Street Community.
She found that the residents here had evacuated one after another. The ones left were either packing their luggage or were elderly people who found it difficult to move around. The entire street had completely lost its former bustling atmosphere.
"The scene changes in this game are really first-class." Anna crossed her arms.
She remembered that many games were like this: one moment they were at war, and the next moment they were having a happy family day. It was such a disparity.
"Fortunately, the game planner paid attention to the atmosphere." Anna walked on the street with her hands behind her back.
The future is too far away, she no longer wants to think about it, or rather, she dares not think about it.
Anyway, I am old, and the future may be quiet and peaceful, so I just need to enjoy life with peace of mind.
"Oh, by the way, that NPC is very cute, and his cheeks feel very comfortable." Anna looked at the city wall and fortress in the upper city in the distance, her heart full of doubts.
She watched Helen transform step by step from a nun to the empress of the empire, and she could be said to be a witness.
"No wonder it occupies a place in the PV." Anna was a little worried about the development of the game content. She was afraid that this cute NPC would die, or be forgotten by the planner and gradually marginalized.
Just when she was having a wonderful idea, there was a sudden earthquake, which almost made Anna lose her balance.
"No, what happened? Could it be that the enemy started bombarding again?" After the shock subsided, Anna turned her head to look at the city wall behind her.
She saw a huge goblin head looking down at her, or rather... the entire 33rd Street.
"What, what is this?" Seeing this, Anna immediately turned around and ran towards the city wall.
The players standing on the city wall were at a loss at this moment. How could a huge goblin suddenly appear when they were making a lot of money?
"Isn't this a giant goblin?" Victor sensed something was wrong and started running immediately.
Lu Xiaofei was standing there in shock. He was concentrating on fighting the goblins before, and then a white light flashed. How come a huge goblin appeared in front of the city wall?
A rough estimate is that it is at least more than ten meters high!
"Roar——"
Amidst everyone's shocked gazes, the giant goblin raised his right hand and swung it out, breaking the city wall.
Then he took a few steps back and then took a running start.
"Players with airships should equip them immediately, and the rest of you should start to evade!"
Junjun yelled.
All the stunned players took action immediately, and some of the quicker ones had already put on their airships.
slam-la-
Unfortunately, it was too late. The huge goblin started running and broke through the city wall before all the players could react!
In an instant, countless players were killed or injured, and turned into fragments visible to the naked eye.
And there was a huge gap in the Roman wall, the kind that no amount of rock could block.
The city wall is broken and has no defensive value anymore.
"Retreat, retreat into the alley!"
"Players with aerostats and containment!"
Mares and Junjun shouted separately, leading the surviving players who were still online to start restraining them.
Swah——
Swah——
Iron wires shot onto the giant goblin's body and the battle began.
And obviously, the giant goblin was in a very bad state after breaking through the city wall. Obviously, becoming like this has side effects, and it can only deal with the attacks of the players.
"Hey, you say, isn't the weak point at the back of the neck?"
"Sorry, I just went to chop it, but it had no effect. It's just a giant!"
"Cut his hands off, he's grabbing us!"
Players discovered that the giant goblin had no so-called "neck meat" weakness at all, and was simply a goblin that had grown larger, so they adopted a bloodletting tactic.
……
"Sure enough, it's the same as last time. They released a giant goblin to crash into the city."
Helen, who is on the top of the Theodosius Wall, does not need a telescope or telescope. She can clearly see the giant goblin fighting with the player in the distance from her high vantage point.
"Regent, should we send reinforcements?" Arthur walked up to Helen and asked.
He had already seen some goblins and human traitors pouring in through the hole created by the giant goblin and fighting with the surrounding players.
Helen was silent for a moment, then slowly shook her head: "No, it's far from a critical moment."
"Regent, are we really just going to stand by and watch?" Arthur knelt on one knee. "If all else fails, let Rogge's reserve charge in and let the barbarians know they're not the only ones fighting."
Helen turned around and slammed her right hand on the table, "General Reserve, don't move."
Arthur raised his head slightly, then said yes in confusion.
