From troll tribes to elf empires

Chapter 183 The response of both sides and the wall climbed

In the subsequent tests, Juya made quite a few attempts, such as changing the direction of the siege, and even launching attacks from multiple sides, but the 'curse' always followed.

After discovering that the enemy casters did not have conventional spells such as 'group dispel negative status', the shamans and witch doctors seemed to rely on this spell, adhering to the 'one trick' from beginning to end.

The principle has been used repeatedly to defeat several tentative attacks organized by the dental department.

After trying several rounds to no avail, Big Tusk temporarily gave up this attack.

However, this does not mean that the dental department is really helpless.

The roar of the siege equipment has never stopped during this period, and after the experience of being burned several times, the Yabu side has tested the farthest range of the previous 'Flowing Fire Technique';

As a result, a larger 'giant weighted trebuchet' that no longer even considered its mobility appeared further behind the camp, and began to launch a fierce attack on the city wall and the city from a distance of more than one kilometer.

attack.

A large number of cobblestones were transported back from the river beach, put into woven baskets, assembled into 'shotguns' and thrown towards the city wall by small and medium-sized 'conventional' catapults;

When this kind of 'ammunition' hits the target, its outer casing will fall apart under the impact of the impact immediately, and a large amount of gravel inside will splash out, causing considerable damage to the horn-hoofed warriors.

.

In addition, the witch doctors quickly built an emergency 'stone grinding machine' factory on the river bank, and part of the cobblestones were fed into it. After a series of processing, they became the manufacturing materials of 'wood stone concrete', and the final work was completed on the front line.

Processed and turned into projectiles.

The 'Giant Counterweight Trebuchet' mentioned earlier fired exactly this kind of huge projectile made of concrete and weighing several tons.

A total of ten trebuchets of this type fired them one after another, hitting the city wall heavily, and finally began to shake the south wall that had been reinforced by magic.

There is a "drawing lot" butcher knife held high behind him, and in front of him are "shotguns" that he doesn't know whether they will fall on his head;

Comparing the two, the people returned to the city wall knowingly and began to learn to avoid the threat of 'high-altitude projectiles'. After all, being hit by a shotgun may not necessarily kill you, but being hit on the head with a knife will definitely kill you.

In this defensive state, twenty squadrons of troll warriors began to disperse and approach.

~~~

At the Ancestral Altar in the center of the city, the shamans' cheeks were sweating and their complexions were turning blue. Their overall condition was far less comfortable than before;

The heavy throwing spear originally placed on it has been thrown away during the charge, and can now be used to place the heavy shield.

Underground, the witch doctors each took out different numbers of seeds from their bags, buried them in the ground in front of them, and then began to cast spells on them;

Under the encouragement of the witch doctors, the seeds gradually began to sprout and turned into vines. After becoming thicker and larger to a certain extent, they turned towards the direction of the city wall.

"The feedback I received is nearly four thousand. What about you?"

After the witch doctors finished their discussion, they collected a total of more than thirty modified 'Dragon Bone Wood Kai' tree species from their respective bags, and began to roughly estimate the load-bearing structure of the city wall above their heads.

Thinking of the excitement, Daba showed a bloodthirsty smile.

In the underground pit, directly below the city wall, a witch doctor was at the last distance and once again launched sound wave detection diagonally upward;

"Forget it. The hole is too small and our soldiers can't open it."

“Really looking forward to it”

Southern wall, earlier

~~~~~~

Outside the wall, the seven witch doctors had now moved to the northern area of ​​New Toulon City. After looking up at the relatively sparse garrison on the wall here, they burrowed far into the ground.

After a brief exchange, the seven witch doctors paused their 'drilling operations' and started exploring diagonally upwards.

Six hundred trolls quickly approached the city wall under the cover of siege machinery. This time they were not affected by the previous 'weakness' and successfully reached the bottom of the city for the first time;

Although there is no ladder, the city wall is only twenty meters long, especially with the huge crossbow bolts embedded in it when fired by heavy crossbows. This height is nothing to the trolls who are used to climbing trees.

Soon after, they identified a few spots that would cause the greatest damage to the wall and began to bury more than a dozen seeds there.

"It can't be activated here. We might also be buried alive. Let's use special vines to connect them."

The horned hoof species were not blind, so of course they noticed their actions at this time, and under the leadership of the elite warriors, they began to collect ammunition on the wall to give the trolls a 'return'.

The siege machinery of the Tooth Department, whether it is large or small, the speed of damage control replenishment, or the scale, is unprecedented for them;

No one would really consider this inexplicable question when building a city, 'What if stones weighing several tons keep falling from high altitudes?'

"Cast the spell first, and then talk about other things after that."

At the starting point, Daba and the cavalry have been waiting here for a long time. Once the witch doctors give the signal, he will lead his soldiers to charge in from the tunnel and kill him without leaving a trace.

Another witch doctor came up with an idea and got approval, and then everyone started taking follow-up measures.

From the very beginning, the wall has actually seen increasingly dense cracks, and once a projectile hits the same area within a short period of time, damage and dents will be visible to the naked eye on that wall.

Tens of meters above the heads of the witch doctors, the soldiers, militiamen, and senior officials who were assigned here after receiving the warning from the shamans were waiting anxiously, but the expected "burrowing out of the ground" was not

He still refused to show up.

"What should I do? Should I still carry out the original plan?"

"What should we do? Do we need to separate the forces to check and balance?" A shaman asked while panting while 'dancing'.

The trolls held heavy swords with one hand, jumped up, stepped on them, or grabbed them, and quickly approached upwards relying on the crossbow bolts all over the wall.

"That's a pity! Wait! I have an idea!"

After he concluded this, the other shamans began to 'dance' with concentration again, trying hard to keep the southern city wall from falling down.

But just a moment later, the shamans who were casting spells suddenly frowned and immediately yelled like they were crazy,

"Go to the North Wall!! You go to the North Wall! Let the chiefs also go to the North Wall!! The enemy is digging a hole!!!"

For this reason, Juya decided to send 600 soldiers to test again.

Amidst the continuous roar of catapults of different sizes, the troll warriors divided into 20 groups and dispersed, and once again launched a charge against the city wall.

On the south wall, the horn-hoofed warriors, especially those who assisted in defending the city, were suppressed by various types of catapults and were unable to lift their heads. They even involuntarily hid to both sides and under the city wall.

.

After closing his eyes and analyzing for a moment, he looked for help with some hesitation.

"Hey, why don't you guys come and take a look? Why do I feel like there are so many horned hoof species popping up above my head?"

"How to say?"

The chief's eldest son and the four clan chiefs were particularly anxious at this time. Their eyes kept wandering between the north and the south, worried about the situation here and worried about the situation in the south.

But this wait lasted for half a light hour, a light hour, or even longer. The wall looked crumbling, but it did not have the complete collapse effect that the trolls expected.

"Yes, there are at least eight hundred elites among them. There are dozens more who feel a bit strange to me."

Carrying the heavy shield behind him, the small external parts of the armor there are now empty;

Therefore, after they sensed the approaching troll army again through the spirits of their ancestors, their expressions were extremely ugly.

"How about planting keelwood here? I mean, the improved type used to build the outer walls of the camp."

Therefore, the defects of the materials used in the wall (lack of stone and lack of concrete technology) forced them to spend more energy on "maintenance and repair" at this time.

"This seems really feasible, let's try it?"

The great chiefs and clan elders are now leading their most elite clan warriors to 'supervise' the 'escape' defenders;

They used the harshest orders, coupled with the method of killing chickens to scare monkeys, to force the people to maintain their defensive positions.

"Oh, I understand."

'This is not normal. The opponent's caster seems to be continuously stabilizing the strength of the wall, but will this affect their ability to release other spells at the same time?'

"Really? They must have been discovered, right? These dwarves are really a bit evil. They can be found on the ground and underground. Could it be the same as our sonic detection?"

Generally speaking, Big Tooth's guess is accurate, and the shaman of the Toulon tribe has indeed been held back at this time.

The remaining Ancestral Spirit warriors naturally did not dare to neglect. They quickly ran down the altar, grabbed a patrolling warrior, and asked him to bring the shaman's judgment to the location of the South Wall Chief;

And they themselves, after letting out a roar to strengthen their condition, rushed towards the north as fast as possible.

"good!"

After a while, the shouts of killing at the south wall reached the ears of the witch doctors, and the vines arrived under the city wall at that time.

"." The chief priest was speechless for a moment before narrowing his eyes and said, "They didn't bring a ladder to climb the wall. Let's see how they will do it first. If there is really a way to climb up, then let the real elites of the clan do it.

Try to resist, let's focus on repairing the city wall first."

Therefore, Juya saw the hope of breaking the city, and further issued the order to "concentrate the attack on one point". In addition, he also organized the soldiers to prepare, waiting for the moment when the wall collapsed.

The effect was there, but not great. The trolls reached the end point - the city wall - at an extremely fast speed that was extremely unsuitable for their own weight and size.

At the numbered position, the troll warrior who took the lead swung his sword to block the horned hoof species' obstruction, and then stepped onto the city wall with a single leap;

They waved their weapons to kill or repel the horn-hoofed species blocking the road in front of them, then took off their heavy shields and stood a few steps in front of the wall, standing firm like a rock to prepare for the follow-up.

Comrades create space.

More than ten, dozens, hundreds. More and more troll warriors roared and climbed onto the wall;

At this time, they all had one thing in common besides being fierce. A steel-wood dagger passed through their cheeks, leaving hideous wounds on the left and right faces that were still bleeding.
