Chapter 492: Battle of Fortress (Middle)
At this moment, Lei Xiao narrowed his eyes slightly, staring closely at the Holy Night Army that was slowly approaching under the fortress.
Although the magic cannon is powerful, its range is limited after all, and the opponent's throwing posture will further shorten this distance.
Therefore, the first step the opponent needs to do is to let the magic cannon and archers enter the effective range first, and then attack the fortress.
Since the arrow tower where Lei Xiao is currently located is exactly in the center of the fortress wall, he can see all this clearly.
"Your Excellency, just as I expected before, the other party is indeed very cautious."
Seeing the long-range troops of the Holy Night Army advancing slowly under the cover of a large number of shield-raised heavy infantry, Bai Lao on the side spoke to Lei Xiao.
"Tch, it's like a shrinking turtle."
On the other side, looking down at the tortoise formations of hundreds of people formed by the shields of the Holy Night Army under the fortress, Ariel couldn't help but frowned slightly.
"The commanders of these two legions are obviously much stronger than that reckless guy just now, despite being so cautious when the long-range forces are clearly dominant."
Smiling slightly, Lei Xiao said to the old general who was wearing a heavy white armor beside him: "Old General Bai, let's proceed according to the plan, I have already sent someone to the designated location."
"Understood, Your Excellency has worked hard."
Hearing the sound, Bai Lao nodded to Lei Xiao, and then walked out of the watchtower.
As for Ariel, she stayed beside Lei Xiao.
At this moment, Lei Xiao could clearly feel it.
Facing the huge and dense Holy Night Army approaching the city, although the Princess Lengyan looked very calm on the surface, her body was trembling unconsciously.
It seems that for her, being in such a grand battlefield is obviously an experience she has never had before.
"Dear Your Highness the Fifth Princess, don't be frightened when the bombardment rages on for a while."
Looking at Ariel's fair and delicate face, Lei Xiao teased lightly.
Needless to say, for Lei Xiao who has already experienced a border battlefield and many **** confrontations with the Orc Legion.
Such a scene, even though it was shocking, could not be called frightening.
"Don't underestimate me, although it's my first real battle, the blood of the King of Heroes flows in my body!"
Frowning slightly, Ariel said, "My Lengyan royal family is born to be the strongest fighter, just like my sister!"
"It's also possible that your sister has inherited too much warrior blood, which has been exhausted by yours."
Thinking of this with some irony in his heart, Lei Xiao's face became awe-inspiring again.
At this time, the densely packed Holy Night Army below was getting closer to the fortress.
And, waves of magic power began to ripple out from the tortoise shell formations one by one.
It seems that the magicians of the Holy Night Army are already charging the magic cannon while walking.
All of a sudden, there was a killing intent in the fortress, accompanied by a gust of night wind, which made people tremble involuntarily.
There is no doubt that a battle is about to begin.
"Will our plan...will be implemented smoothly?"
On the other side, while shivering, Ariel collected herself, and subconsciously said to Lei Xiao.
"Don't worry, everything is under control."
Looking at the three Lengyan soldiers in a tight formation around him, Lei Xiao waved his hand slightly, signaling to Ariel that there is no need to worry, and then responded.
In a short while, under the fortress, the first batch of at least 50 holy night army magic cannons that had just entered the range, all kinds of magical brilliance suddenly appeared, and they launched the first attack without stopping.
In an instant, waves of magical power surged out from the Holy Night Army.
As the earth trembled, thunderous bangs resounded below the fortress, and the momentum was astonishing.
Just when Lei Xiao thought of this.
Whoosh! boom! Whoosh!
On the other side, under the command of Bai Lao, two-thirds of the archers on the city wall and a dozen ordinary first-order magic cannons symbolically launched a counterattack amidst the billowing smoke.
In this case, it will naturally create a false impression for the opponent who knows the strength of the fortress well, that is, the strength of the troops above the fortress has been weakened a lot.
Sure enough, after the first wave of our own counterattack, even though there were many soldiers of the Holy Night Army, they all fell into a pool of blood.
But the opponent did not stop, but launched the second batch of magic cannons while the first batch of magic cannons were cooling down, obviously wanting to take advantage of the victory and pursue them.
This time, in terms of scale, there are a full 100 doors.
Seeing that the Holy Night Army was about to attack again, the cold flame archers above the fort also squatted down again, and then began to scatter into the air at will.
boom! boom! boom! boom! boom!
Immediately afterwards, there was another series of earth-shattering loud noises.
In the next second, a large number of compressed magic balls, like meteorites falling from the sky, began to fall on the first buffer magic circle.
At the same time as countless ripples were splashed, it directly hit the second defensive barrier above everyone's heads.
boom! boom! boom! boom! boom!
In an instant, a large number of continuous explosions exploded above Lei Xiao again, almost deafening.
"Although this absolute defensive barrier can completely block attacks, the effect of sound insulation is so-so."
Looking at the colorful waves continuously rippling above his head, like a violent storm hitting the glass crazily, Lei Xiao couldn't help curling his lips slightly while rubbing his humming ears.
On the other side, Ariel, with her fair and delicate cheeks, was full of fear, and looked up at everything in front of her in a daze.
It has to be said that the attack strength of the Holy Night Army is indeed extremely astonishing.
If the alien guy in front of him, who is no longer so annoying, is not here.
Then, I am afraid that this mountain fortress is really about to fall.
At this time, Ariel's starry eyes flickered, and she involuntarily cast a complex gaze mixed with gratitude and indescribable emotions at Lei Xiao.
"In addition to the two Tier 5 powerhouses of the township level and many other powerhouses who are loyal, this guy can not only take out 300 Tier 2 magic cannons, but also has such an exquisite absolute defensive enchantment. It is already completely comparable to the one in my Lengyan Palace."
Thinking of this, looking at Lei Xiao's indifferent profile, Ariel's heart once again set off a huge wave.
"What's even more frightening is that, apart from these being comparable to our Lengyan royal family, this guy also possesses an unbelievable number of fifth-order state-defending soldiers, which undoubtedly far surpasses our Lengyan royal family."
"What's even scarier is, God knows how many unknown hole cards are hidden in this guy's incredible storage bracelet?"
Taking a deep breath of the anxious air, Ariel pinched her cheek subconsciously,
If she hadn't seen all this with her own eyes, she probably wouldn't have believed it anyway.
Such unfathomable and abundant energy, not to mention a foreign lord who has just arrived, even if this guy is the king of a country, I am afraid that many people will believe it!
"However, then again, it's not a bad thing to be able to act together with such an unpredictable alien monster..."
Just when Ariel's heart ~ was up and down.
Under Bai Lao's command, this time, amidst the billowing smoke, only a brigade of archers stood up and violently counterattacked. As for the magic cannon, it was naturally still in the process of cooling down.
Whoosh! Whoosh!
Accompanied by pieces of arrows falling from the sky.
The Holy Night Army, which had been weakened by another attack, began to advance bravely against the light rain of arrows even though another group of soldiers fell.
Moreover, the archers of the Holy Night Army and other magicians who had been on the edge of the depression and did not participate in the attack before also began to move towards the fort quickly under the cover of heavy infantry.
"Oh? After two waves of tentative attacks, I finally couldn't bear it anymore, are you ready to start a large-scale attack?"
Noticing this, a faint smile appeared on Lei Xiao's face, and he muttered in his heart: "It seems that a good show is about to begin."
