Chapter 173: Achilles’ back roots (part 1)

Chapter 173: Achilles' Foot (Part 1)
The horn of attack sounded at dawn.
As soon as the sky was slightly bright, the Roland Allied forces began their first attack on the city.
Dozens of slings were assembled, and then with the whistling sound, huge stones of all sizes cut through the tranquility of the sky and slammed into Thunder City.
The warlocks in Thundering City immediately floated into the sky. Hundreds of warlocks used the same spell to prop up a huge gas shield on the city wall. Numerous stones hit the gas shield and bounced off immediately. .
But after all, there is a limit to the size of the air shield. The boulders that smashed into the city kept destroying houses and buildings. Everyone was hiding in all directions, but from time to time one or two of them were haplessly smashed to pieces.
Roddy stood on the city wall, looking coldly at the flesh and blood in front of him, his expression was cold, and he could not see any emotional fluctuations in his eyes-as if on the battlefield, he changed back to the flesh and blood in the northwest. Fighting, bloodbathed the rebellion in Xilin Province, and iron-fisted the mutiny commander in the southern Ziye City.
"There is no tricky way in a siege. It's pure exhaustion." Milo stood beside him, also looking cold.
The slings in the city were finally pushed out. Unlike the slings of the Rolandites, the launching racks of the slings of the Empire were not big and small stones, but huge earthen jars with flames. The fire sizzled on the earthen jar, and a strong oily smell filled the man's nose. After Rody turned and looked at the sling in the city wall was ready, Zige nodded.
Zieg waved his hand, and the sling below immediately began to fight back!
One by one fireballs were thrown into the sky, with a long tail flame, and slammed into the Roland people's queue, and then one after another bright sparks appeared, one by one red flames in the Roland people's queue from time to time It flickered, sparks splashed on the Roland soldier, and countless screams came.
A bucket of sea water was poured onto the flames, but to the Roland people's surprise, after the water was poured on, the flames not only did not go out, but instead roared a bit higher!
Many soldiers were quickly engulfed in the flames, and the others retreated in fright. A fire that can't be extinguished? Such a weird scene caused many Rolanders to be frightened. Could it be that these heretics in Bright Continent were really protected by the devil?
Sparks bloomed dazzlingly in the Roland army. Although many of the Roland slings were not hit directly, as long as they were splashed with sparks, they would immediately burn. The flames burned more and more fierce, how to save Can't put it out!
"Idiot!!" Tiger stood behind, looking at the flames in the army, and shouted: "If the water can't be put out, use sand!! Splash the sand up!!!"
Seeing the Roland people outside the city burned with black smoke, Roddy sneered standing on the city wall: "It seems that Dandong's words are true. This kind of flame that burns black oil can't be extinguished by water. The more water it is, the more intense it will burn..."
Zige laughed and said, "Huh, the Roland people's slings were learned from us two hundred years ago, and they will only imitate them behind our ass!"
After all, there are many people in Roland, there are no other people on the beach, but there is a lot of sand. A bucket of sand is poured on, and the flames have been suppressed in a short time.
Roland’s magicians finally acted. Hundreds of senior magicians in white robes slowly floated into the sky. Hundreds of people chanted a low-pitched spell at the same time, and the magical elements in the air changed rapidly. Must be violent. Suddenly, there were large tracts of dark clouds in the originally calm sky. The dark clouds that made people's heart tremble became denser and thicker. Large electric lights flashed from time to time in the middle of the clouds, and thunder faintly came from the sky.
The clouds are getting lower and lower, and the dark clouds in the sky have completely enveloped the sky over the entire Thunder City, but they are far away on the sea. The sky is indeed still clear as usual, and even the sun is still bright.
"Damn it, what kind of magic is this?" Roddy frowned.
Although this kind of lightning magic is very common, it is a bit strange to make such a big movement-at this moment, a lightning bolt suddenly struck the sky and slammed it on a section of the city wall. With a bang, the solid city wall seemed to sway fiercely, and a dozen soldiers were swallowed in the flames, and died in black. A lot of people around also fell, many people were paralyzed, and their weapons were left aside.
"Where's the warlock!!" Roddy roared, and the warlocks in the city immediately arranged large and small air shields to block the walls.
But soon, even more terrifying things appeared.
The dark clouds in the sky flashed with electric light, and there was a sudden loud noise. A lightning struck down. The loud noise had not disappeared. A lightning struck again... Just in such a moment, a series of lightnings continued like fried beans. Hit on the city wall.
A huge roar pierced through both ears, the sky was blanched by a flash of electric light, and the city walls seemed to be shaking. The air shields deployed by the imperial warlocks became more and more bleak in the series of huge lightning. Finally, several warlocks spewed blood from their mouths and fell from mid-air. Then there was more violent lightning, and the warlocks finally could not support it. Up. The air current in the sky became more and more frantic, and as the empire's warlocks fell more and more, the air shield above his head could no longer support it.
In the end, even the bishop elder of the cult fell from the sky slowly with a pale face and sweat. The air shield was finally broken through in a lightning bolt. The warlock in front was struck by the lightning. He didn't even react. His body was torn apart by the lightning. Then there were hundreds of soldiers on the wall in a huge flame. Fall down one after another. He was full of black smoke and turned into a scorched black.
"What's going on?" Roddy roared: "Even their magicians are not so powerful!"
Seeing that the thunder was getting louder and louder, Roddy suddenly yelled, pulled out the Dragon Tooth Sword, and rushed up into the sky!
A flash of lightning slammed over, and Roddy burst into a cloud of burning golden vindictiveness in an instant. The Dragon Tooth Sword turned into a golden light, and fiercely bounced away the fire that had struck it away. The lightning was thrown away by Roddy and knocked down outside the city wall, and a deep pit was immediately burst out on the ground!
"Spread it out for me!!" The golden flame on Roddy in the sky rose more than two meters high, and a dazzling ball of light suddenly emitted from the Dragon Tooth Sword. Even the sun in the distant sky instantly faded, whistling. In the middle, a huge light blade was shot out by him, and flew up toward the thick dark clouds in the sky.
With a violent air current, the light blade hit the solid black cloud and immediately burst open. The wind was strong, and the strength was frantically pulled everywhere. At that time, a big hole was torn out in the thick black cloud. Luo The golden vindictiveness on Di's body became stronger and stronger, and he cursed: "You can fight continuously, don't I!"
He shouted violently, the Dragon Tooth Sword kept slashing left and right, countless huge light blades shot out from under his sword, and the dark clouds in the sky were quickly dispersed in a series of explosions, becoming more and more dim... ...No more lightning can gather...
Above the barracks of the Roland people in the distance, the magician of Roland mainland was stunned. One of the old white-bearded men couldn't help muttering, "That...that guy, is that still a human?!"
Roddy felt absolutely uncomfortable at this moment. After a series of half-moon slashes and the gusty wind scattered the dark clouds, he felt that the power in his body became more and more uncontrollable, as if something was faintly torn in his body. As if to tear out.
"It's Dragon Qi..." Roddy was shocked, realizing that it was because he had used too much power to stimulate the power of the dragon in his body. He took a deep breath, and suddenly clenched his fist and hammered him hard in his chest. After a mouthful of blood came out, I felt the boiling sensation in my chest loosened a lot.
The body slowly fell on the city wall, and Zieg immediately went up and supported Roddy. Roddy shook his head, wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, and said indifferently: "I'm fine." After a pause, he said: "The other party's magic is a bit weird...Even their saints can't use such earth-shattering magic. , Such dense lightning..."
Tiger looked gloomy, looked at the exhausted magicians behind him, and then gave an order to launch huge arrow towers in the barracks. Each one is ten meters high. The bottom of the arrow towers is thick. The wheels creaked and moved slowly towards the city wall under the efforts of countless soldiers. The arrow tower was wrapped with thick layers of cowhide, braving the continuous arrow rain above the city wall and the Warlock of the Light Empire cast fireballs, gradually approaching the city wall!
The soldiers of the brigade marched forward with heavy shields, and the fallen soldiers lay on the ground screaming, but the advancing Roland troops didn't stop at all, stepping closer to the city wall step by step on the bodies of their companions.
The soldiers of the Empire on the city wall aimed their bows and arrows at the city and fired volleys. After the opponent approached, the stone hurdles on the city wall smashed down like hail.
But this time the Roland people obviously sent regular infantry. These soldiers were much stronger than those of the previous day, their morale was high, and they were brave and decisive. After a group of soldiers stepped on countless corpses and finally arrived under the city gate, they quickly withdrew the heavy shield held high, revealing the heavy siege giant wood under the shield. Hundreds of soldiers slammed into the city gate with the giant wood. A loud noise seemed to hit the hearts of imperial soldiers.
After showing considerable losses, the heavy arrow tower was finally torn down on the edge of the city wall. Except for several arrow towers that were destroyed by imperial slings as they approached, the bows and arrows on the nearby arrow towers The hand and the imperial soldiers on the city wall started shooting, and the height of the arrow tower completely made up for the advantage of the height of the city wall. Immediately, one side of all the arrow towers suddenly left, and a huge wooden plank slammed on the wall of the city wall. The huge iron structure on the wooden board immediately hooked the city wall tightly, rushing out from every arrow tower. There were hundreds or even more heavily armed Roland soldiers!
Zieg had already drawn out his sword, and shouted wildly: "Kick them off!!"
The soldiers screamed, and people on both sides smashed together! The swords crossed endlessly, and there were all kinds of desperate and miserable howls.
The Roland people who rushed out of the arrow tower were obviously carefully selected elites. Each of them had considerable strength, but after all, they were inferior in number. The empire’s guard infantry exploded with great courage, one by one. Stepping forward, it was like a above the city wall, with broken arms and limbs flying horizontally, and people from time to time screamed and fell from the wall.
Roddy didn’t know how many people he had killed, but the opponent’s infantry had already rushed to the city. The towering ladders had been erected a long time ago. The enemies surging from the arrow towers reduced the pressure on the climbing ladders. More and more Roland people climbed the city wall.
The warlocks of the empire were exhausted after firing fireballs continuously, and the too large number of Roland people made them exhaust all their power.
The Dragon Tooth Sword in Roddy's hand is like a of death who specializes in plundering lives. Any enemy he meets can't resist his casual sword! Seeing that one of the Roland people in front of him was cut and flew out with a single sword, he took the other Roland people who had just climbed up the ladder and fell together. Roddy took a step forward and cut the ladder with a sword, and then the ladder led a series of Roland people on it to fall...
Feeling a fierce wind behind him, Roddy turned and held the blow behind him. In front of him stood a Roland knight in armor. He was holding a long cross-cutting sword in his hand with the sword head dripping. Blood, with blood mist on his face, looking at his costume, he seemed to be a senior warrior among the Roland people. The man gritted his teeth and said, "Your Excellency is..."
"Get away!!" Roddy didn't even look at him, and the Dragon Tooth Sword was cut down. The other side put the sword on its side, but he heard a sound of "chi", his cross sword was as easy as tofu After being split, Roddy's sword took advantage of the situation and split the man from his shoulder with armor and body!
Kicking away the corpse in front of him, Roddy quickly yelled at Zieg, "It's now!"
After saying this, Roddy jumped down from the city wall and landed in the city, stomping a deep pit on the ground.
Among the Roland coalition forces outside the city, Tiger looked solemnly at the fight on the city wall, watching the dense infantry queue marching in the direction of the city wall, the fierce scene of flesh and blood on the city wall, let the bright empire bow and arrow The hand can no longer stop the advance of a group of Roland infantry...
"Perhaps, I can win Thunder City today..." A thought flashed in Tiger's mind.
But at this moment, an amazing scene happened!
Suddenly there was a loud horn in the city!
The huge and heavy city gate suddenly opened slowly! The coalition soldiers at the gate of the city who were still carrying the huge wood and hitting the door were stunned by the sudden situation. Then their faces immediately showed fear and despair...
Tiger clearly saw a black iron current rushing out of the city gate, and the spear in the hand of the cavalry immediately tore the infantry that hit the gate to shatter!
It's Thor's Whip! !
Countless horses hooves hit the ground, and those cavalry wearing black iron armor first separated into two teams and killed them along the wall from both sides of the city gate! Under the city wall, the coalition infantry holding a sword seemed to be stunned. It wasn't until the enemy's spear pierced his body and made a scream that the other infantry suddenly realized that the enemy opened the door when they were attacking the city. Out! !
Those soldiers under the city wall who desperately used their bodies to hold the ladder are the saddest. Their strength has long been exhausted by holding the ladder. Facing the spears of the enemy cavalry, they can only close their eyes and wait for death. Countless allied infantrymen under the city wall were driven by Roddy’s cavalry. These infantrymen used to attack the city did not wear armor. They were light infantry, because heavy armor would become a fatal burden in the difficult climbing. But now facing the enemy's terrifying cavalry charge, without good defensive capabilities, it has become their fatal weakness!
The fighting under the city wall continued, but the Thor's whip that gushed from the city gate did not run to both sides of the city wall... Their goal was the infantry formation of the Roland people who were advancing towards the city gate!
The dense thunder-like sound of horseshoes seemed to drown out the original screams of killing, countless thunder's whips of steel rushed out of the city gates, arranged in a neat triangular attack formation, forming a rushing iron current rolling forward . The iron hoof of the war horse shook the sky, and even the sun hanging in the sky was shaken by the iron current.
Horseshoe trampled the earth and the dust was flying, and the heavy iron armors of the cavalry made a crisp crash.
The Roland Allied infantrymen who were about to advance close to the city wall were stunned. Faced with the large group of cavalry from the other side who suddenly rushed out of the city, they seemed to subconsciously stop...
The dust is flying, one thousand steps, one hundred steps, ten steps... the cavalry lowered their bodies and clung to the horsebacks, their spears pointed forward horizontally, like a sharp forest!
"kill!!"
Tens of thousands of sounds sounded at the same time, and the spears in the hands of the cavalrymen running in the front easily pierced the shields of the coalition soldiers, pierced into the vivid and fragile bodies, and splashed out an incomparably gorgeous blood flower, and then howled Screams and screams sounded at the same time...
The charge of Thor's Whip immediately tore apart the subsequent attacking infantry array of the coalition!
Although the advancing infantry formation under the Roland Allied Forces is very tight and thick, in the face of the charge of Thor's Whip, this thick array has exposed a strange weakness-after the infantry in the front row was washed down, the scattered deserters blocked There, because the queue was too dense, the defeated deserters smashed their own army behind!
Thor's whip rushed the infantry formation of Roland to pieces. The iron armor on their bodies and the spears in their hands were the deadliest weapons of the coalition infantry! Often the coalition infantry tried their best to slash the enemy, only to find that their knife could not bring harm to the enemy at all, and the spear pierced from the cavalry sprint can pierce their body from a long distance. ! !
Tiger's face was pale, he drew out his sword, and shouted: "The Knights stop them! As long as you stop them, the city will be broken today!!!"
