my brother is god

Chapter 272 The Fall of Heaven's Tepid Offensive

"I understand what you mean!" Huck nodded to Farah, and after watching Farah leave, he called the herald to him, "Send the order, let each team take turns to rest, according to the normal schedule, with the horn and bell of the temple The sound shall prevail!"

"Yes—" Because Huck has been in the watchtower all the time, and the heralds are also gathered around the watchtower. After hearing Huck's call, they immediately ran to Huck's side. Most of them were young people, and many of them were here. They have never even taken weapons before, and they have lived in Laki City for generations. To put it in a more extreme direction, they may not even have been out of Laki City.

Following Huck's order, the soldiers guarding the city wall began to be forced to rest in shifts, and some who were unwilling to rest were also asked to lie in the camp with their eyes closed to save energy. Because of the tension, some soldiers ate Without food, he could only rely on drinking some clear water to get by. Huck asked the kitchen to prepare some meat porridge that was easy to swallow and digest, and asked the soldiers to eat some simple food mixed with the meat porridge to ensure the high-intensity that might come next. fighting.

This kind of situation did not only happen to the east gate guarded by Huck, the north gate and the west gate all had similar situations to Huck's side to varying degrees. The northern gate has the least reaction, because most of them are fighters who have been fighting in the frontier all year round, while the west gate has the strongest reaction, because the terrain of the west gate is harsh, and it is difficult for demons to capture it even if they have wings, so the guards of the west gate are various A mixed army of volunteers. Although most of them have participated in the war, they have killed a few people in the sky. To be honest, few people have seen this kind of group battle scene!

Nearly half a month has passed such a day, and the demons seem to have disappeared in this half month. Even the soldiers in the watchtower did not see any movement in the camp, but because of the last sneak attack, so this time Everyone didn't relax their vigilance, and with sufficient sleep and gradually recovering drinking spirits, they were much better than last time, so they observed more carefully than before.

"Your Highness, look, is there any movement over there?" Huck first patrolled the front line as before, and then returned to the watchtower to continue observing the demon's actions. As they walked up the stairs, they heard a report from a soldier above. After getting along with Huck for a period of time, these soldiers had become very familiar with Huck, and they also knew roughly when Huck came over. After a dull sound, he began to report his findings to Huck.

After hearing the report, Huck stepped up the stairs in two or three steps, and came to the observation deck at the top, "Look, over there—" the soldier pointed to the north-east direction and said, "When I looked before, there was only a It was pitch black, but now there is a fire, which seems to be heading for our true north gate!"

According to the soldiers' guidance, Huck looked to the northeast, and indeed he could vaguely see some flames, but they were very faint and sparse. He is famous for his cunning, not to mention the gestures he made, even if he died, he might not believe it, "Launch a red alchemy flare—" Huck thought for a while, and finally decided to regard this as a possible occurrence sneak attack treatment.

Upon receiving Huck's order, the soldiers immediately fired three red flares into the sky, and the three red lights went straight from the top of the watchtower to the sky, making the dark clouds crimson, and the demons hiding behind the clouds were covered in red. The light printed a huge black reflection. After realizing that they had been exposed, the demons flapped their pitch-black bat wings and launched a surprise attack on the sky fortress. It can speed up and run forward, rolling up a large desert dust behind it.

"Assemble, assemble, blow the horn!" Huck saw the dust rising suddenly in the distance, and immediately ran down the watchtower. The horns, the soldiers immediately began to gather at their respective city walls after hearing the cascades of horns. Because of the previous experience, everyone seemed calmer this time, and the speed of assembly was faster, although they still seemed to be in a hurry , There was a lot of scolding, but the speed was indeed faster than last time, especially the speed of the recruited archers, compared to the last time when they didn't even shoot a few arrows, this time they could barely catch up with the start of the war.

"Where's your captain?" In a panic, Huck grabbed a dedicated knight who was running towards his position and asked, "Where is he now?"

"Captain Farah was ordered by the Lord to go to the Temple of the Goddess. I'm afraid I won't be able to arrive in time!" The dedicated knight saluted Huck, and then continued to run towards his position. On the top of the city wall, he stood with the soldiers responsible for protecting the musketeers. At this time, the shield as the dome began to make the sound of crackling armor falling again, and it was more dense than last time. Huck glanced at the demon in front of him. With the distance from the city wall, the movement speed of those demons was much slower than that of the previous group. Even though they seemed to be running forward very hard, their speed was really not flattering.

"Your Highness, what are those demons doing? Could it be that they are using all their power to strengthen their armor? It seems that the demons are not as crazy as the legends say, and they are not afraid of life and death!" one of Huck's lieutenants He kept a full posture all the time, and couldn't take it anymore at this moment, so he put his hand down, "Those guys are too slow, even a tortoise is faster than them?"

"Don't underestimate them, any kind of demon is not easy to deal with!" A dedicated knight warned, "Do you have armor-piercing arrows?" After a moment of silence, he asked again.

"Huh? Armor-piercing arrows?" Huck repeated, "Could it be that they really use all their power to strengthen the armor?"

"Your Highness, those guys seem to be easy to bully, if you don't have enough armor-piercing arrows, they can even push your city walls to the ground!" Another dedicated knight warned, "We used to You will suffer from them a lot!"

"Send the order, let all the archers replace the armor-piercing arrows, and then let the musketeers retreat and push the alchemy cannon up!" Huck did not show the slightest hesitation, after frowning and glancing at the speaking knight , and started issuing commands again.

The alchemy cannon was first developed by Lagi. It is an alchemy weapon that uses spar as energy to shoot magic through the magic circle in the barrel. Feiyue did not eat less of this kind of thing during the college competition Unfortunately, after Feier and Lagi joined forces, these cannons were strengthened again and again. Feier has also popularized this kind of artillery now, but unlike Lagi's, Feier is a cannon that fires alchemy shells. The cannonballs are full of alchemical substances that are unstable and repel the magic circle, and Lagi's is still the same as before, using the magic circle to release magic, but the use of energy has been greatly improved.

After the alchemy cannon was pushed up the city wall, the demon troops rushing to the front had already entered the range of the archers, but the armor-piercing arrows were different from ordinary arrows, and the number of such arrows was less than one-tenth of ordinary arrows First, even if the Laki Kingdom can be regarded as the richest country in the world, it is impossible for archers to use armor-piercing arrows as ordinary arrows at will.

"Wait for them to fully enter the range!" Huck hid sideways behind the battlements. The black barrel of the alchemy cannon was placed next to him. Except for the sound of the falling armor from the dome hitting the shield, the surrounding area fell into a dead silence.

"Archers get ready!" About 3 minutes later, one-third of the demons had entered the attack range of the archers, Huck suddenly raised the sword in his hand, and shouted loudly, "Full string—shoot—" Then As Huck's voice fell, the armor-piercing arrows turned into silver meteors and passed over everyone's heads. There was no conventional sound of arrows falling to the ground, but a sound like a pen piercing a page, and with that sound, the turtle-like demons with thick carapaces were all nailed to the ground by arrows one after another. After a few struggles, it turned into a ball of flame and the arrows were reduced to ashes.

"This group of damned demons, our arrows are worth more than your lives!" Huck couldn't help cursing when he saw the demons like this, "Have they always been like this? Using the lives of their own soldiers to consume the opponent's arrows, Even draw that horrible rune on the body of your own soldiers? Let them die well?"

"Your Highness, you must know that they are demons!" Farah also rushed to the city wall at this time, and sighed helplessly after seeing the demons using such tactics. "When we were fighting, they even used civilians as the vanguard, or let infected civilians mix with civilians. Those guys have no morals at all!"

From the beginning to the end, this battle was as unhurried as the soldiers standing on the city wall. It was an attack, but it was still just an attack to consume the armament of the defending army. Huck prepared alchemy for them. Artillery, but until the last demon fell, they did not rush into the range of the alchemy artillery, but the consumption of the armor-piercing arrows is probably really not small, and not only the east gate, but also the north gate also used broken arrows. Armored arrows, after a few rounds like this, the armor-piercing arrows will be consumed in a short time. Although he is angry and disdainful, Huck can't do anything about it. The opponent's use of such tactics means that Lagi's side can't complete it in a short time. The supply of alchemy items, the use of illusion before was probably to consume Laki's flares, but now it seems that their purpose has been achieved!
