Civilization: Beyond Two Worlds

Kant and Preston rushed out of the war room and came to the outside world.

A group of officers came with them.

In an instant, the noisy and fierce world returned, he looked up at the sky, the clouds were pressing down, the world was deep and dark, and there was a faint trace of blood.

There was no sound of shouting and killing on the city wall, only the explosion of spells and the humming of arrow rain, Kant thought about it, and immediately asked: "Have the elves started to attack the city yet?"

Preston glanced at him and gritted his teeth: "Come on!"

There was a trace of anxiety in his tone, and he didn't have time to explain to Kant, so he immediately ordered: "The messenger! Send an order to the city hall to call in the prepared warlock, engineer team and geometry team to go to the damaged No. 5 trebuchet. Do damage assessment, try to fix!"

"Order the reserve team to move to the area under City No. 2 to stand by, ready for reinforcements at any time!"

"Order the 1st and 3rd Archer Squadrons..."

As he ran, he gave orders. Officers and messengers kept leaving the team, and the attack on the city wall became more and more rapid, as if it were the sound of the torrent.

Kant is a few positions behind, and Hong San is parallel to him.

As the commander, Preston didn't have time to explain the situation to him, but Hong San could.

The Aurora man lowered his voice and quickly explained: "The damaged No. 5 trebuchet is a very important remote support point. It is huge in size. It uses the latest achievements of the Dwarf Engineering Academy and is managed by a warlock. It is magic and mechanical. The perfect fusion of mechanics is extremely powerful and extremely accurate.”

"It's just that the components are complicated, the volume is huge, heavy and complicated, and it can't be deployed on the city wall. Besides, with such firepower and size, even if it is forcibly erected on the city wall, it is just a living target of the elves..."

"So it was deployed in a precisely calculated fire position in the city, and it carried out long-range strikes through the observation spell of the warlock and the calculation of the geometric team."

"The advantage is that it is concealed enough. A large number of shelters and bunkers have been built on the firepower position, and even large-scale tracks have been built regardless of money and manpower. When the situation is critical, pack animals and horses can be dispatched, and they can even be pulled to dodge and conceal. The disadvantage is that, after all, in the Under the city walls and in the city, there are dead spots for shooting, and after all, it is not convenient to install them on the city walls and towers... There are always places that cannot be taken into account."

Hong Sanyu said very quickly: "But there are many such trebuchets, scattered all over the city, and the shooting ranges are superimposed on each other, so they can take care of every battlefield, but..."

When Kant heard this, he almost understood: "However, this plane was damaged, which means that there will be a corresponding shortage of saturated and perfect firepower strike density, that is to say, the elves will choose to attack in the corresponding shortage position to reduce the defense of the city. Fang's defensive advantage, is that so?"

Hong San nodded and said: "Master is wise, it is this principle, and besides, the head of the embankment of a thousand miles collapses in the ant's nest, and the war is the collision of two wholes. Our side is destroyed by a trebuchet of great value, which will cause A series of reactions, if there is no way to fix it as soon as possible, things will be troublesome..."

The location of the No. 5 catapult was not far from the temporary war room. Almost all the officers present were full of vindictiveness, and the worst ones were those with strong and sturdy physique. They soon arrived there, and saw the lightning breakdown in the air. The burnt smell, the after-flame of the burning fire scattered, and the broken flesh and blood were everywhere.

There was apparently a ferocious and intensive firepower here.

It wasn't that the elf mage was hit by mistake, but after careful calculation and preparation, he seized the mistakes of the human mage and pulled it out like a thunderbolt.

Surrounded by a corpse of broken limbs, the huge trebuchet stood quietly, like a proud and powerful giant, still standing still after a heavy blow.

But even if they don't know anything about dwarf engineering, everyone can see that this proud and powerful giant has died. The cause of death is not the fatal injury of the limbs, but from the inside.

The trebuchet even maintains a nearly intact appearance, but the internal structure has been damaged by countless jagged stone thorns, but seeing many parts and fragments with residual magical aura scattered on the ground, the delicate structure has been destroyed in a mess.

Preston froze for a moment, then slowly exhaled.

As a commander, he shouldn't have come in person, but he won't give up unless he sees this kind of thing with his own eyes, and he also has to figure out how the well-prepared firepower position was removed.

This is the most important.

He said slowly: "The messenger, immediately inform the war warlocks and support mages in other fire positions..."

"It is said that the No. 5 trebuchet was destroyed by the rock piercing magic, which directly destroyed the core magic guide and transmission structure of the trebuchet. This blow can be described as a deep calculation. The violent and intensive spell bombardment is just a cover..."

He looked at the surrounding corpses and the various bunkers that were lined up to attract and reduce the lethality of spells, and immediately continued: "The real deadly attack comes from the earth... Let all relevant personnel be careful and vigilant to prevent The same casualties occurred."

After he finished speaking, he glanced at Kant and said nothing.

Kant didn't speak either.

At first glance at the trebuchet, he knew there was nothing he could do.

The heavy weapons in the earth's cold weapon era are basically not complicated, at least in the eyes of modern people, this is the case, even if it is the extremely advanced counterweight catapult that appeared in the later period of cold weapons, the earth people who have undergone modern education take a few glances at the schematic diagram , you can immediately understand its operation principle, even if you let him make and debug it, it is only a matter of time.

It was out of this idea that Kant wanted to see if he could be of any help. After all, the ability to extract enchantments was very suitable for this purpose. Repairing damaged simple machinery was not a problem at all. , and then an enchantment will do.

But here is another world.

At first glance, this trebuchet exudes the atmosphere of an elite monster.

He couldn't help but think of the ballista on the elf battleship captured on the island of Saint Inlie. At that time, he was shocked. Compared with the ballista of the elf, this thing was not inferior, or even surpassed.

Not to mention that these various pieces of parts are big at first glance, and they are also magical parts, which combine so-called magic and mechanical mechanics, so that he can't understand it for more than a day.

So there is nothing Kant can do.

And the face is also a bit unbearable.

Fortunately, although Preston was annoyed and angry, he finally had reason, knew the importance, and did not ridicule Kant. He glanced at the heavy-hearted officers around him. No one was stupid, and they all knew about this precious riprap. The meaning of the complete destruction of the machine - although it cannot shake the overall situation, it is a bad head.

"All cheer up!"

Preston said sharply: "War is not a stage drama, it does not go according to the script! All kinds of bad situations will happen, what is the damage of a trebuchet? When formulating the strategy of defending the city, Mr. Mayor has already All bad situations are taken into account, all emergencies are on record, and everything is under his control! And these strategic and decision-making issues are not something we should consider!"

"We soldiers, we just need to do what we should do and fulfill our mission, that's all!"

He shouted loudly: "Since the elves have removed this firepower position, it is not far from the official siege. Everyone, it's time for us to fight in blood... Go back immediately and wait for the war!"

The messengers sent the valuable experience gained at this heavy price to the mage regiment and other fire positions, and Preston and other officers returned to the intended battlefield.

- Just think about the fire support range of the No. 5 trebuchet, and then calculate the area of ​​fire support that is weakened by it, and you will know where the elves will attack.

Kant stayed at the end. He stepped forward and looked at the destruction of the trebuchet. The piercing stone pierced the ground from right under the trebuchet's huge base, killing it for a thousand years.

This spell has been gaining momentum for a long time, and it is extremely fierce. Thick, long and sharp stone thorns are drawn horizontally, destroying all the structures inside the trebuchet, integrating with it, and blocking all conduction structures.

If extraction is used, the stone thorns can be eliminated, but it is meaningless. If you do this, the stone thorns will disappear without a trace, but this huge trebuchet will collapse in an instant.

He shook his head.

Let the war warlocks and engineer craftsmen from the reserve team do the repairs. This kind of precise and professional stuff should be left to professionals.

I heard that it is still a high-end product made by dwarves.

— Hopefully the dwarves are serious enough to bury a greased paper bag with a full set of spare replacement parts in the ground near the trebuchet.

He turned around and said to Hong San, who was waiting on the spot, "Let's go, it's about to begin."

Hong San nodded solemnly.

At the same time, outside the city, the spirited elf infantry was fully equipped and entered the battlefield. The bright armor and shields reflected the sunlight, like rolling waves of light. Looking at the destruction radiance of the mage array, it dragged the splendid tail flame to the city wall.

Immediately, he said: "Send the order, Lord Ellas, and start the siege according to the established plan."

The elf adjutant beside him bowed and said, "Sir, why don't you wait for the mages to build their exploits again? They have already pulled out a powerful trebuchet, weakening the long-range power of a battlefield. According to this method, they will destroy one or two more. A trebuchet, the long-range advantage will be completely ours.”

The elf commander shook his head and said: "Although it is a human, it cannot be underestimated. In my opinion, this city of resistance is controlled by a human official with a heart of iron, and will do anything to survive, even if it abandons honor and shame. It is the usual practice of a miserable human being to spare no expense, in order to survive, without regard to dignity. This means that the city will be defended with great efficiency under his iron fist..."

"That is to say, the method we used to destroy that war weapon will soon be identified by the enemy, and other directions will be notified, so that they will be careful to defend... The same method is no longer effective."

"Let's save the precious mana of the mages to support our brave soldiers."

Having said that, the commander looked at his adjutant, shook his head and said, "Mr. Ellas, I know what you are thinking, but war is an exchange. Use your own soldiers to exchange your enemy's soldiers for victory."

"I know that when we attack now, our soldiers will still brave the blows of war weapons to advance, and they will inevitably pay casualties, but war is like this, we can't hope for a war without casualties, just like I won't delusionally think that there are in the world. An alchemical bomb that can destroy a city and make a country surrender... right?"

Hearing this, the adjutant sighed helplessly: "If the adults of the parliament want to win, we will bleed."

The commander said slowly: "Complaining about this is meaningless, Sir Ellas, we have to achieve the victory that the adults want, so we can make merits and advance step by step until we step into the council... to replace them!"

The adjutant nodded vigorously, a frenzy flashed in his eyes, he took a deep breath, took off the horn, and blew it suddenly.

The next moment, the silver elf array began to move, and the ancient war slogans were uniform.

"Prepare-"

"Prepare-"

Cries came and went from the city walls, veterans, officers, all those who were willing to fight.

Fear, anger, and then face the war.
