Chapter 328: Fortress Fire
"I don't want to do anything else." Xia He said seriously. Snowes was stunned for a moment, and then realized that Asra was joking.
"There is no need to be done about patrol. After reading the information, the undead must have invaded from another world, and the types are too rich. There is no undead mage in this world, so you have no objection to this, right?"
Xia He nodded. It was not that there were no necromancers in this world, but that the number of people was negligible.
These necromancers hide in the east and study the secrets of their souls.
"Your 3,000 people can cooperate these days, right?"
"It's your highness's three thousand people."
"Before you leave me, except me, you can command them. Others have my orders and no power. So they are your people. The fortress has magic channels and can attack temporarily. When needed, I have about seven or eight thousand mobile troops, so I have to go out to clean up. The main reason is that if the undead die outside, the piles are higher and higher, and it will have an impact on the city defense, you have to go out to clean up."
Xia He thought for a while and said, "Then I want these undead equipment and their soul fire."
"Yes, this is not a problem. You need resources now, and the business in Storm Corner has been ruined again, I can understand. I will leave you a large warehouse to stack these things."
"Then thank you, Your Highness."
"For the undead, the warrior's spear is not easy to use. The weather is cold, so it is difficult to fight with gloves. Just use a warhammer or an axe with leather hoods. What do you think?"
"If you defend the city, a spear is more useful. Those who go out can indeed change their equipment."
"Then I'll arrange someone to change your weapons."
"yes."
"Go to your station area. There are communication stones there. I usually ask the messenger to go."
Xia He agreed and finished drinking the hot soup and returned to his base. The fortress was huge, like a small city. The three thousand people in Xia He occupied a fortress-like building with separate playgrounds, warehouses, corrals, etc.
Xia He didn't care about these things, so he summoned everyone and told the prince's order.
"How much risk do you think is the city to fight?" Xia He asked the twenty combat mages.
"Sir Earl, bones are piled up, and no matter how high the city wall is, it is useless. Sometimes, it is necessary to go out of the city and rush to kill." said the No. 10 magician.
"The battle is mainly to disrupt the enemy's attack rhythm," replied the No. 1 mage.
"Yes, Count, Your Highness is not making things difficult for you." The second magician said the same way.
Xia He nodded and said, "I know, it's better to just dispatch the airship."
After saying this, he felt that it was not very accurate. The empire's airships were not as comprehensive as the Shen Zhou. The power of the Shen Zhou airdrop bomb was almost as powerful as the forbidden spell.
However, air strikes are still a particularly effective way of fighting.
"Sir Earl, there are restrictions on the frequency of airships' dispatch. Your Highness definitely hopes that the magic furnace of airships can get a good rest. The number of times they release will not be too many, so we have to make up for this vacancy."
"Okay, since everyone agrees, I will come down."
The magicians looked relieved. Although it was dangerous to go out to fight, they had a lot of contributions. According to the city, the merits were low, but the responsibility was even greater. If they were defeated, some people would behead their heads.
"But the size of two hundred people is to die when we go out. The three thousand of us are divided into three parts, and only one thousand are dispatched at a time and replaced in turn. Everyone here has to go out every time. Do you have any objections?"
The magicians could not object. Xia He himself and Medielli were in the house. As the chief generals, they had to go out every time. It was impossible for them to be lazy. Everyone was still persuading the count to accept the task of the prince, but now there is no need to refuse.
Xia He trapped these magicians and then sent out a formation map. Every time he attacked, who was in front and who was behind, various simplified instructions for various changes, etc.
After these are sent, you will have to practice in the playground.
The soldiers must record all the simplified instructions. The characteristic of these instructions is that they do not have a vocabulary structure with similar syllables, so as not to make command mistakes on the battlefield.
The Woods Fortress continued to strengthen its defense, and a tower was formed in the center of the magic bastion, which was simply reinforced with metal. A large number of weapons and ammunition were distributed. Looking down from the fortress, plus the surrounding bastion, the Woods Fortress itself became a large bastion.
If you want to attack the fortress and attack the bastion first, the fortress cannons above can bombard the downwards.
To attack the fortress, you have to climb up from the middle of the bastion and bear the bastion strikes on both sides.
However, the undead arrived the next day, and the wind and snow continued, but it was much smaller. Under the gloomy sky in the distance, only dense army of undeads rushed towards the fortress, boundless.
Xiahe also climbed to the fortress's city, condescending, and the number of undead still makes people feel desperate.
Buzz!
A basin-sized fireball flew out of the fortress. When it flew out more than 200 meters, it suddenly expanded and its speed suddenly accelerated. Then after 800 meters, the fireball expanded again, with an explosive growth.
The second expansion was the diameter of the fireball was more than 30 meters.
After the fortress cannon was launched, many officers raised the alchemy telescope. At 1,500 meters, the speed of the fireball more than doubled, and at the same time expanded to a diameter of more than 80 meters.
"How can this thing grow?" Xia He asked the number one mage beside him.
"Earl, the attack distance of the fortress cannon is preferably about ten miles, and the direct coverage area is 500 meters. The raw coal consumed for one launch is calculated using a thousand kilograms."
Five hundred meters of coverage!
Xia He compared his Flame Stars and knew that the power of the fortress cannon was terrifying. However, his Flame Stars were more powerful in single killing, and this Fortress cannon was an army killer.
If it is not for the huge size, it requires magic furnaces and complex magic array assistance, this thing may be used in large quantities.
What is a few thousand kilograms of raw coal? It is always cheaper than handfuls of gems.
The fireball flew more than ten miles away, fell among the army of undead, and was immediately cleaned up. The range of the fireball sputtered was extremely small, just controlled within a range of 500 meters. The lethality of the splashing was not much different from the center of the fireball.
The gunfire was a little farther away, because the gunner adjusted it was not fine enough. There were a total of twelve fortress guns in the fortress. The rest slightly adjusted the magic array and started firing at the same time.
Xia He was surprised, with the undead dense. When the fortress cannon fell, thousands of undead fell and turned into ashes.
However, under the fortress cannon, there will be no spoils, they will be burned completely.
The consumption of raw coal is nothing, this thing is cheap, but the fortress cannon itself needs to be repaired, and the magic furnace and magic array cannot operate without damage.
"There are still many skeletons, but it seems that they are skeletons of some subspecies giants." Xia He looked at it for a while and saw the clues. Among these undead, the largest number are various skeleton soldiers, including knights, shield warriors, and even more outrageously, there are some skeletons that can fly, but they don't seem to fly high.
The weather is bad, and many skeletons with bone wings simply walk on the ground.
"Our Lord Earl, there is no need to command the command. Unless a legendary strongman comes to attack, even the zombie dragon cannot come up. There are about 100 magic cannons of all sizes, which are specially used for air defense. On the contrary, this kind of messy undead, rushing in, is the most troublesome."
Xia He was watching the observation post. On the top of the city, many soldiers stood in the snow. The commanders sent orders down, asking the soldiers to attack a target in groups of five, and give priority to those with wings.
There are also magical crossbows in the fortress, but the enemy does not have chariots or similar mechanical devices and is ordered to attack large creatures.
Among the undead, a kind of earthly beast appeared, with a low level, but it was more than twenty meters long.
After two rounds of the fortress cannons, they started to rest and it would take at least three minutes before they could fire again. Xia He knew that the longer the attack distance, the longer the fortress cannons would need to rest.
"Let's go back and prepare." Xia He greeted the battle mage and left the observation post. Everyone saw the enemy clearly again, because in the fortress, they were no longer as scared as in the wild, and could calmly analyze the enemy's shortcomings.
After getting off the city wall, the No. 1 mage said, "Sir, Gugus and I both have epic realms. If you fight out, you can also protect your vitality. There seems to be no corrosive monsters or the like in these undead spirits, and they don't look so disgusting. Now the wind and snow are strong, and undead spells such as poisonous fog are not good either. Don't worry."
"What are you talking about?" Xia He smiled and said, "You'd better worry about other people. I can fly and will not be trapped by the army of undead."
Xia He is really not worried. His magic has cooled down and he can summon sacred creatures again.
The six-winged angel is a terrible nemesis to the undead.
The divine light shines, which is irresistible to the undead.
"Sir, we are not worried. The Deer is a powerful monster. As long as it is not damaged by the soul, even if it is damaged, it will not die immediately. It can still run for more than ten miles. We have tried the flame bottle you gave us. It only emits a wisp of fire, and its power is very impressive. Is it a waste to kill the undead?"
"I'm worried that I'll take it back, right? Forget it, I'll give it to you. If you are willing to invest, you can spend money to improve the level of the item. Usually, you can use repair magic liquid to repair it for a long time, and it's okay to pass on the family." Xia He was not stingy. He led these magicians and took the big head of military merits when he turned back.
This is equivalent to laying eggs by borrowing chickens. Under normal circumstances, no one will do this, and he is like picking up a bargain.
