Tauren Overlord
Page 104
At the same time, spellcasters on the Imperial positions fired dense fireballs at the ruins of the commune, making it difficult for the commune's crossbowmen to get out.
Under their fire suppression, the Empire's Leader Infantry walked along the safety line that Gertulle had just drawn and penetrated straight into the heart of the commune.
Lu Heng and Scarlett originally planned to let the last fighters of the commune hold on until 12 o'clock the next day and then move closer to the center.
At that time, Lu Heng will open the portal and concentrate the power of 50 harpy witches to teleport them collectively to the foot of the mountain of the Sky Dance Monastery.
But at this moment, Scarlett and the last 1500 Commune fighters had not yet made final preparations for evacuation.
In order to avoid being killed all by the Empire's spellcasters with one skill, they did not huddle together, but instead dispersed into various defense zones.
This is to deal with enemies attacking from all directions.
Each small defense zone is composed of a combat team of approximately 30 to 50 soldiers, and each combat team has a certain degree of independent combat capability.
After all, the commune had been beheaded several times by Imperial spellcasters.
Going back further, if the officer who initially rebelled had not been beheaded by the empire, the Fifth Commune might not have existed.
So Lu Heng and Scarlett finally chose this small formation mode.
This can avoid the situation where the entire commune is leaderless and loses its combat capability as long as the center of the commune is destroyed by the empire.
Even if one squad is eventually wiped out, the others can still fight independently.
This would delay the Empire's offensive and buy time for the entire commune to evacuate.
But at the rate that Gertulle was going, there was no way the commune would survive until daybreak.
Helena also looked at Lu Heng with worry in her eyes:
"Is it too late to start the collective teleportation now?"
Lu Heng nodded slightly:
"Well, we have to hurry up. Since the enemy has already made adjustments to target us, we have to counter their moves to turn the tide of the battle."
As he spoke, Lu Heng opened the portal.
Tonight, he will truly participate in a large-scale battle involving tens of thousands of people for the first time.
……
On the commune battlefield, continuous fireballs continued to hit the commune's positions, providing fire support for the charging leaders.
Ordinary shields and even plate armor are completely useless against fireballs of this artillery level. Even many building shelters may not be able to withstand the bombardment of fireballs.
Most of the people who made fireballs were believers of the Five Fireball Cult who stood on the side of the Empire.
Unlike the Lunain state where most people follow the Lord of All Suffering, there are various religions in the empire, and the Five Fireballs Cult is one of them.
The salvation and faith that the Five Fireballs Cult pursues is very simple; it relies on a fireball to solve everything.
To a certain extent, it is precisely because of the existence of such spellcasters that the world's motivation to develop artillery has been diluted.
Because before the artillery was put into production, humanoid artillerymen who could directly cast fireballs already existed.
At the beginning, even Gailtule did not dare to easily concentrate these precious spellcasters for use.
The lives of these spellcasters are much more noble than those of the rulers and old farmers that can be found everywhere.
After the previous siege, Guertoule was convinced that the Commune had lost all its anti-artillery units.
Their only field catapults that could pose a threat to the Fireball Lovers had long been destroyed by the Empire's Pegasus Knights.
Just thinking about this, Gertuler's heart bleeds.
Because the old farmer who was guarding the catapult detonated a bomb of extremely great power when he was attacked by Pegasus.
In the end, in order to kill all the trebuchets of the commune, Gailtulle actually lost most of his Pegasus cavalry.
Each Pegasus cavalryman is much more expensive than the so-called trebuchet.
However, after this, the only troops that can threaten the Fireball Lovers are the Harpy Witches from the Sky Dance Monastery.
But for the Five Fireball Cult members who can launch fireballs at any time, they can provide anti-aircraft firepower themselves.
They also soon discovered that the commander of the Harpy Witch had a different style from Galthule and did not like to launch a forced assault at the cost of huge sacrifices.
In this case, Gertuler of course concentrated all these killers on the battlefield and let them go to slaughter the old farmers of Tu Commune!

149. Niu Niu vs. the Five Fireballs Cult
Gail Tule already felt deeply that he had won!
As long as the magic waves are used to deal with the booby traps that came from nowhere, the remaining farmers in the commune will no longer be able to resist the attack of the empire.
In fact, this is true. The commune lags behind not only in total number of people, but also in the quality and quantity of spellcasters.
The highest-ranking spellcaster in the entire commune is only rank one, like Scarlett.
On the imperial side, the leader of the Fireball Cult alone is at the second rank, and under him are twenty spellcasters who can cast fireballs with their hands.
As for Gailtule himself, he directly reached the third rank.
He even has a hidden Fourth Father who has not taken action until now, but is hunting for possible reinforcements outside the encirclement.
With the governor as his father, it was clear that Gertuler had secured victory.
His only problem was that noble spellcasters were not suitable for filling lines.
Their noble but limited spiritual powers cannot be used without restriction.
The mistake of letting the Pegasus Knight mince meat with the old farmer must not be made again!
In that case, even with the protection of the Governor, he would still be punished, otherwise it would be difficult to convince the public.
But when they reached those bumpy places, they still had to use the lowly old peasant leaders to exchange their lives with the equally lowly old peasants in the commune.
The more anxious we are to attack now, the more old farmers we will lose, which will inevitably cause backlash from the lords.
But for the governor and his family, the situation had reached the point where they had to destroy the commune.
Prior to this, Governor Edric had already discovered that there were signs of some kind of union between the Commune and the Kongwu Monastery.
He chose to use the field trebuchet troops as bait, and soon confirmed that the harpy witches would indeed launch a sneak attack when they were fighting fiercely with the commune.
The governor also responded by letting Gertulle lead a part of the troops to encircle and suppress the commune.
At the same time, the governor himself quietly deployed a large number of crossbow carts on the west side of the besieging forces for air defense.
More importantly, he also gathered more than 100 spellcasters of various types from the lords.
He would wait until the harpy witches of the Sky Dance Monastery came to the aid of the commune on a large scale before killing them in large numbers.
Even if we cannot wipe out all the harpy witches that come to reinforce, but only kill half of them, it will definitely be much easier to besiege the Sky Dance Monastery.
But Governor Edric waited and waited, but the harpy witch he had been thinking about never showed up.
He was also surprised to find that the people of the commune actually escaped directly from the portal.
This caused his strategic plan of surrounding the enemy and attacking the reinforcements to completely fail.
Since even his father the Governor was fooled by the enemy, Gertuler could not care less.
Even if there was a risk of the lords below rebelling, he would definitely use their old farmers to fill in the gaps.
Anyway, in terms of numbers, their total troops numbered over 1, more than the military and civilians of the commune combined.
With such a huge advantage, we will definitely win even if it’s one for two!
……
In the ruins destroyed by the fireball, the old farmers of the commune, including Londestol, all knew how terrifying and desperate the empire's spellcasters were.
But in this hopeless place, someone still tentatively shouted, "1!"
"2!" Lundstol didn't know what this "1" meant, but he continued.
"3!" The third person who survived the fireball bombing also made a sound from the ruins.
He did not report the number of enemies killed, nor the estimated time when help would arrive.
The scheduled evacuation time is tomorrow at noon, but the enemy has already rushed to within only a few dozen meters. How can we possibly hold out until noon?
Therefore, the only meaning of reporting this number is to prove that you are still alive here.
But as long as they live, they are a mockery of the empire.
Just as the commune was about to fall, a purple light suddenly flashed in the night sky!
The light piercing the night sky brought new hope to the hearts of the commune fighters.
Lu Heng's teleportation gate then appeared in the air close to the ground.
However, the location where the portal appeared was not in the center of the commune's defense line, but in the gap that Gailtule had just created with the magic waves.
Gertuler's face turned green.
He worked so hard to quickly wipe out this group of old farmers in the commune that he launched a general attack overnight, but ended up being fooled again.
Not only do you have to run, you have to blast a portal in my face.
What does this mean? Are you going to run away right under my nose?
Can't stand it, absolutely can't stand it!
Galtule clenched his hands into fists, but he could no longer remain graceful, and suddenly burst into a roar:
"Bald Archbishop, blow it up!"
The bald archbishop is the leader of the Five Fireballs Cult.
He was also a veteran with combat experience and quickly realized that the portal was also a destructible magic item.
Just use fireballs to blow up the portal and cut off the survival of the survivors of the commune.
He immediately issued instructions to his subordinates in each group:
"Five fireball beauties, blast! Purify everything with fireballs!"
"Fireball Thick Lip Team Five, prepare the fireballs!"
The believers of the Five Fireballs Cult immediately took action under the command of the Bald Archbishop.
They are all spellcasters, and since joining the Cult of the Five Fireballs, they have been drinking potions that change their own unique skills.
Now everyone can make a fireball by hand.
Now they formed a group of 5 humanoid self-propelled artillery launchers and started firing in salvos!
"Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!"
Five blazing fireballs, like meteors, streaked across the night sky and whizzed towards Lu Heng's teleportation gate.
The fireball exuded a scorching breath and also burst into strong light, illuminating the dark night sky.
But just as the fireball was about to hit the portal, a huge gray-black shield suddenly appeared in the air, like a flat pot lid.
This is the "Shield of Gaia" that Lu Heng inherited from Ruby, which can completely block the destructive power of the fireball.
The teleportation gate was also under Lu Heng's protection, sending one strong tauren warrior after another to the battlefield.
These minotaurs were exactly the elite minotaur squad that the West Coast Army Marshal had just handed over to Lu Heng.
The captain of the team is Kamun, a civilian guard who once had a good chat with Lu Heng, and is also the father of Kalomenos.
Most of them are at rank one, but three Tauren cadres, including Kamun, have reached rank two.
This immediately narrowed the huge gap between Lu Heng's side and the Leader's Legion in terms of spellcasters.
They had already made preparations and were about to rush to the aid of the Sky Dance Monastery in the north.
However, since Lu Heng had a portal, he brought them directly to the battlefield.
Now Galtule was shocked again. How come there were Tauren reinforcements from the commune?
What can be done? Will all the old peasants who should have been slaughtered long ago be slaughtered?
