Chronicles of Ryan the Wizard

Chapter 2010 Moving to Battle (5)

A phalanx of tens of thousands of Titans marched neatly towards the fortress of Shama Kahlo. When these Titans entered the attack range of the Dark Elf drappers, they raised their left shields under the orders of their commanders. When you get up, the shape of this shield is roughly rectangular, but it needs to be concave down at the top, just to leave a gap for the Titan warriors to observe the enemy’s situation, and a piece of protruding under the shield, This protruding part coincides with the concave part above the shield.

Therefore, when 10,000 fully armed Titan warriors lifted this large tower shield up obliquely above themselves, the lower end of each shield would be pieced together with the upper end of the warrior’s shield in front, so 10,000 separate shields. In this way, pieced together into an airtight whole, this is the strongest defense method of the Titans' phalanx infantry-the shield wall.Humans, dark elves, and other races have not used such defensive methods, but in terms of defensive effects, they have to be the phalanx of the Titans.

There are independent defensive magic arrays on those shields, and they can naturally exert their due effects when fighting alone. However, when they are in contact and combined with each other, these magic arrays become the entire shield wall. Although the defensive effect played by the magic circle is not directly superimposed, it can allow the Titans phalanx infantry below to share the damage suffered, so that even the thousands of kilograms of stone bombs fired by the heavy stone dumper , There is no way to smash a blank in the dense phalanx of the Titans, instead it will be bounced off by the shield wall composed of tall and strong Titan fighters.

Seeing the Titans’ phalanx approaching, ordinary sling attacks seem to have little blocking effect. More drapery platforms appeared on the flat walls of the fortress, and countless dark elves were struggling to twist the cables. Under the circumstances, one heavy stone dumper after another was raised from the inside of the fortress to the outer city wall. The appearance of this heavy stone dumper is very different from the general stone dumper. Its elastic rod is not at the rear but vertical. Under the rock dumper like a tower, the projectiles are launched by relying on various gear winches to generate huge projectile power. Therefore, as long as the design is precise enough and the materials used are strong enough, the shape of the rock dumper is almost unlimited, and the distance to be projected And the weight of the projectile is theoretically unlimited.

Of course, this is only a theoretical calculation. After all, the farther the projectile distance and the larger the projectile, the precision and overall volume of the boulder has also increased exponentially. The launch gap is even more horrible, and it is easy to lose practicality. Therefore, in the fortress of Shamacaro, the range of the dark elf's heavy stone dumpers is basically concentrated in the area 20 kilometers in front of the fortress, and the stone bullets fired usually do not exceed 1,500 kilograms.

When the phalanx of the Titans entered the range of the dark elf bouldering carts, there was a "creaking" sound from the dense gears on the walls of the fortress of Shamakaro, and then the roulette that was tightened suddenly Lost the restraint restricting its rotation, so the heavy object that was hoisted quickly fell towards the ground.The fall of the heavy objects also drives the internal gears, winches and other objects of the entire heavy stone dumper to rotate, so that the vertically erected projectile rod starts to swing from back to forward, and the force generated is enough to throw heavier stone projectiles farther. .

A familiar sharp whistling sound came from the sky to let the Titan warriors on the ground know that the danger was approaching. They didn't need the officer to say anything more, and all held their breath and prepared to face the impact.There was a huge impact, and several Titan fighters in the square felt that the arm was suffocating and terrible impact power. If it were not for the protection of the "coordinated defense" magic array on the shield, even the bodies of these Titan fighters No matter how strong it is, it is impossible to be unharmed under such an attack. Fortunately, the few people who were in the brunt of it still ran into the back involuntarily. Fortunately, because of the formation of the shield wall, the phalanx of the Titans was occupied. The area of ​​?? has shrunk a lot. The fighters in the phalanx are almost closely connected to the other comrades on the front, back, left, and right, so those Titan fighters were blocked by the body of the comrades behind them before they could leave their original positions. , The tight shield wall naturally did not appear even a trace of flaws.

A dark elf officer standing on the city wall observing the enemy's situation blankly stopped the farsightedness cast, and all the sights that clearly came into his eyes more than ten kilometers away quickly blurred.The officer waited until the farsighted magic effect was lifted, and immediately turned his gaze to the heavy dump truck around him, which was spinning the winch quickly. If it was replaced by another race army, at least a large blank space would have been created in the dense square just now. Come, but now it has only brought some small chaos to the opponent. If the boulders cannot be put more intensively, such small chaos will not have any impact on the Titans' phalanx.

"Haven't you eat? Move me faster!" The officer scolded a few loudly, and then patrolled the city wall back and forth, constantly urging the heavy stone dump trucks he was responsible for to speed up the frequency of launching. .However, those dark elf warriors have undergone strict training, and the fastest they can maintain is like this, even if someone is nearby with a whip and a scimitar to urge them, it will not be much faster.

After six consecutive rounds of projectiles, the tidy Titan phalanx in the distance can be seen clearly without farsightedness. The dark elf officer felt resentful after discovering that his attack did not destroy the opponent’s formation. At this time, a messenger brought the latest order from the Military Intelligence Command Office, so the dark elf officer hurriedly shouted loudly: "Fenyun! Change Fenyun and launch!"

After hearing the name "Fen Yun", all the warriors beside the dark elf officer showed expressions of fear, but under the supervision of the whip, they quickly forgot about other things and devoted themselves to the present. Go to work.When everything was ready for the heavy stone dumper, the thousands of kilograms of stone bullets that originally required more than a dozen to move did not appear again. Instead, a new type of projectile of about 300 kilograms was used. This is the darkness just now. The name given by the elven officer was called Fenyun’s Draper Projectile.

Because of the greatly reduced weight, Fen Yun can quickly move and install with only four people. If calculated from the weight, such projectiles are definitely not as good as those thousands of kilograms of stone projectiles, but these new projectiles are not. It was carved out of rock, but made of mithril. The inside of the projectile was hollow, sealed with fierce fire oil, and on the surface of the projectile, many fire magic arrays were drawn.

When the Fen Yun was placed, the dark elf warrior did not immediately start to launch the boulder. Instead, a dark elf mage quickly stepped forward and inlaid several fire cores that had been prepared. Inside the specific cavities on the surface of Fen Yun, under the action of the fire magic core, the magic arrays on the surface of the entire Fen Yun projectile all showed a faint red halo. Obviously these magic arrays had been activated.

The dark elf magician who had completed the final step, as if escaping from hell, quickly moved away from the ready-made boulder. Before he ran a few steps away, the towering heavy boulder behind him immediately heard the gear turning. What kind of demeanor the dark elf magician can care about, he crawls on the ground quickly and covers his head with his hands. He has just finished all this, and Fen Yun, which is placed on a heavy dump truck not far behind him, The projectile was thrown out in a loud roar.

As soon as the Fenyun projectile left the stone dumper, its mithril cast surface ignited a raging flame. The dark elf magician lying on the ground only felt a heat wave hitting him from behind. Fortunately, he reacted quickly enough in advance. Lie on the ground, otherwise the heat wave generated by the firing of the Fen Yun would first set him on fire.After making sure that he was safe, the dark elf magician jumped up and cursed a few words, but the warriors who were in charge of the launch did not take this to heart at all, but stared straight into the distance. The flame trail caused by Fenyun flying high in the sky.

The Fenyun flying out of the walls of the fortress of Shamakarro fell like a meteor to the phalanx of the Titan tribe on the ground. The Fenyun projectile is still dozens of meters away from the ground, but the high temperature generated inside it has already An air wave was formed and swept towards the Titan warriors. Looking from the city wall in the distance, this scene is indeed very much like the clouds in the sky being ignited and falling towards the ground with raging flames. This is probably burning. The origin of the name Yun Danwan.

When the burning cloud bomb smashed against the wall of the Titans' shield on the ground, the large amount of fire oil poured into the projectile was ignited in an instant and produced a violent explosion. The huge impact even the Titans That kind of special shields can’t bear, although the magic circle on them can spread the damage to everyone in the square, but when the damage exceeds the limit that the shield material itself can withstand, the damage is divided. Naturally, the magical effect of's could not continue to take effect, so a group of hot flames mixed with billowing smoke rose to the ground, instantly shining a gloomy alien world like daylight.

The violent explosion of Fenyun in the distance not only illuminated the sky, but also caused a slight shaking of the ground under his feet. Naturally, such shaking was quickly noticed by Ryan and Farasi in the depths of the fortress. Due to the magical enchantment. Protection, Ryan is not worried that this kind of shaking will affect his continued study of wishing techniques, but since such a situation has occurred outside, it also shows that this fortress sniper war has broken out, and the strong on both sides will soon take action separately. There is less and less time left for Ryan to continue practicing.
