The Bloody Crusade of the Ash Knight

The cannon fodder pushed the siege vehicle and walked at the front of the queue.

Behind the cannon fodder, the black kobolds squatted and carried the siege ladder.

At the end of the orc queue, a group of strong lemures pushed 50 catapults.

At noon, when the sun was shining brightly, the orcs set up their formation directly in front of Luxembourg, regardless of the scorching heat.

On the city wall, there are many guards in black clothes and armor with spears.

On the back section of the city wall, which is the material platform for city defense, hundreds of catapults are fully loaded, and the baskets on their backs are filled with 5 to 6 round stones the size of human heads.

Andil stood on the high platform and looked out, and at a glance he saw the filling of the orc catapult. It was a stone the size of a millstone, and one stone must weigh at least several hundred kilograms.

"Snow Fluorine!"

"Boss..."

"Add magic crystals to the quicksand shield of the city wall!"

"Yes!"

Quicksand Shield - seventh-level earth magic. If you have to describe it in a modern style, this magic is like Gaara's Sand Guardian.

The magic circle will form a quicksand protective shield in a specific area. This protective shield is specially designed to deal with various projectiles. It is the best magic shield to defend against catapult attacks.

The boulder falls and hits the quicksand shield. The quicksand will remove all the kinetic energy of the boulder and form a quicksand guide to drop the incoming boulder in a specific area.

The magic array was arranged by Vincent himself. In order to reduce losses, Vincent laid a large number of spirit gathering arrays on the entire city wall and established an energy storage array for the entire city defense.

The spirit gathering array is operating well and the energy storage array is at full capacity. However, there are too many defensive magic arrays for city defense. Relying only on the magic stored in the energy storage array, the city defense array can only last for one day and one night.

Adding magic crystals to the magic array is to prepare for emergencies.

At noon, the orc army attacked with all its strength, clearly intending to frustrate the city's defenses.

Judging from the momentum of the orc army, this siege will definitely not end in one day and one night!

The army of kobolds was densely packed, and in an instant they reached a distance of 300 meters in front of Luxembourg.

"Ow~"

"Ouch~~"

The silver wolf orc hidden among the dog-headed crowd raised his head and started howling among the army.

"Whoosh!"

"Whizzing!"

On the edge of the city defense, the knights of the elite knights aimed at the howling silver werewolf and threw their javelins.

The javelins currently thrown by the elite knights are not the javelins they are equipped with.

This batch of javelins are consumables. They are made of fanged orc fangs and ordinary wooden poles. They are one-time consumables and have no recycling value.

"Puff puff……"

Most of the silver werewolves were caught off guard and were nailed to the ground, but a few silver werewolves escaped the javelin's roll call.

Silver wolf howls at the moon!

The burst skill of the silver wolf clan can increase the physical fitness of the same clan by 50%, and is applicable to kobolds!

This is an open secret among the Silver Wolf orcs. Andil is guarding the city, so naturally he is also on guard against the outbreak of the Silver Wolf clan.

The people behind were encouraged, their eyes were blood red, blood vessels all over their bodies were bulging, the dog's mouth was slightly open, white liquid was hanging all over the dog's mouth, dripping.

Although hundreds of silver wolf orcs were lost, the advance force of the kobolds has ended!

The blessed kobold roared and began its final sprint!

"Da da da……"

The siege ladder was set up on the city wall, and Wuyang Wuyang's kobolds climbed desperately.

Behind the kobolds, a large number of silver wolf orcs are howling, and the blessed kobolds are like a tide, rushing towards Luxembourg!

"The new three armies - the first battalion, everyone is in position!!! Use the ten-man team as the combat unit, defend the area, and thrust!"

Unlike the turbulent waves of orcs, human soldiers arranged defensive formations in an orderly manner on the city wall.

After arranging defense changes and support, Andier came to the material platform.

"All catapults, the elevation angle is plus ten! The left and right offset is five! Prepare for test firing!"

The orc catapult is thick and bulky. Let’s not talk about accuracy. Just the counterweight of the catapult requires 3 tons of boulders.

The human catapult is smaller. Although the throwing weight is lighter, it moves quickly and throws accurately.

The soldiers adjusted the angle of the catapult, Andil waved a small red flag, and hundreds of heads-sized stones rose into the sky.

The stones crossed Luxembourg, drew a graceful arc, and were scattered like heavenly flowers among the kobolds in front of the city wall.

The huge boulder fell from the sky, and with its own weight and the potential energy of the projectile, a large group of kobolds were directly killed!

Raising his head, Andil looked towards the observation deck.

The soldier on the observation platform took off a pair of small green flags from his chest, raised his hands flat and pointed at the area being attacked.

Now that he is the commander-in-chief, he naturally has to teach simple flags to his troops.

The observer just replied that the catapult attack was effective and the orcs in the area were cleared. Once the observer puts down the green flag, the attack can continue.

Teach the command flag to the catapult commander.

"Just continue attacking from this direction. You decide the frequency yourself."

"Yes! Lord Lord!"

The orcs officially attacked, and Andil did not dare to be careless at all. According to the regulations of the previous meeting, he began to patrol the first city wall.

As for other senior military officials, they are also very busy.

The city wall area is just this small area, and the area for a hundred catapults, the material storage area, and the fast lane have been eliminated. The area that can be used for defense to accommodate 1.5 soldiers is already the limit.

Currently, there are only 12,000 soldiers defending the city wall.

Ten thousand defensive soldiers and two thousand elite knights to deal with dangerous situations.

In order to ensure that there are a sufficient number of defensive soldiers on the city wall, commanders at all levels must patrol frequently!

Of course, as the commander-in-chief of the battlefield, Andil has already assigned specific tasks. Andil only needs to patrol the camp seriously at the beginning of the war, and he doesn't need to worry about it at all the rest of the time.

Besides, as the deputy commander-in-chief, Olson can definitely command a city defense battle of this scale in an orderly manner.

At the end of the tour, Andier came to the city wall again, picked a section of the city wall, and Da Vinci sent the iron gun up.

The Elite Three Battalion has been destroyed. With the war currently underway, it is very difficult for the Elite Knights to replenish their ranks. Da Vinci was in a coma for a long time...

Now, Da Vinci has become Andier's personal guard, responsible for 'protecting' Andier's personal safety...

Two men, two guns.

One is silver and white with blue fire, and the other is dark with orange and red.

The thirty-meter city wall is enough for Andier and Da Vinci to move around.

The kobolds were inspired and lost their minds one by one. All actions were directed by the roar of the silver werewolf.

The kobold transformed into a war machine is like a lost man, fearless of pain and death!

A large number of kobolds rushed up to the city wall, and were stabbed down by the soldiers together.

As for the silver werewolves mixed in, as long as they dare to show up, members of the elite knights will deal with them.

The battle lasted for three hours, and a layer of dog corpses was densely covered under the Luxembourg city wall.

After three hours of fierce fighting, the soldiers' physical strength was exhausted.

In the previous battles, the soldiers defended the city for at least nine hours before they were exhausted. However, after only three hours of the official battle, the weaker soldiers had already begun to breathe.

The soldiers of the Third Army had reached the stage of exhaustion, and the soldiers of the Fourth Army rushed out from the fast lane and took over the defense work of the Third Army.

"Whirring whirring……"

There was a violent tearing sound in the air, and dozens of stones the size of millstones came straight towards the wall of Luxembourg!

"Sa..."

The Luxembourg city wall generated countless sand clouds out of thin air. The boulders hit the sand clouds as if hitting the flowing fluid. They first collided violently, and then slowly sank...

"Bang bang bang..."

In addition to hitting the sand cloud, more stones hit the city wall.

A huge amount of stones fell on the city wall, and a large number of kobolds turned into pieces of bloody mud...

A layer of transparent fluid is generated on the surface of the city wall. The boulder hits the fluid, causing a ripple...

The huge boulder broke the siege ladder, and a large number of kobolds fell freely. The boulder hit the city wall and rebounded to the kobold crowd. A large number of kobolds died...

In general, the kobold's catapult, in addition to consuming Luxembourg's reserve magic power, gives most of its lethality to the kobold...

The siege ladder was broken and a new siege ladder was propped up on the wall.

Because the kobold corpses raised the ground, the originally short siege ladder suddenly reached a section higher than the city wall...

The soldiers worked together to push down the siege ladder, but countless kobolds had already climbed up the newly erected ladder, and the soldiers could not push it down at all.

As the bodies of the kobolds fell, the bottom of the siege ladder was completely submerged. It was even more impossible to overthrow the ladder.

Andil kept volleying hard, and before the kobold even touched the city wall, the whole dog was already flying out.

Da Vinci on the side, with his fighting spirit attached to his spear, kept fighting for four hours. Not only did his momentum not fade, but it became more and more fierce!

He shot the kobold in the air. The kobold died instantly. A wisp of lavender gas attached to Da Vinci's silver gun...

Two hours ago, Andier discovered the difference in Da Vinci. Every time he killed a kobold, there was always a wisp of evil energy attached to Da Vinci's fighting spirit.

The evil spirit is calcined by the fighting spirit, removing impurities, and turns into the purest evil spirit, which is integrated into Da Vinci's fighting spirit...

As time went by, Da Vinci's face became more and more rosy, as if he had taken some powerful tonic.

But the temperature around Da Vinci's body was getting lower and lower, making people afraid to get close.

Of course, Andil's physical and mental abilities are strong, and Da Vinci's soul fire cannot overcome Andil's mental power.

But because of Da Vinci, the defense line between the two of them has changed from the original thirty meters to the current fifty meters.

Da Vinci's fighting spirit was converted into the fire of the soul, which Da Vinci paid for with his life.

Because of the evil spirit, Da Vinci was practicing cultivation when he killed people. This was something Andier envied, but he couldn't be jealous at all.

Fifty meters, just fifty meters. Although the defensive pressure doubled, Andile was still busy.

As the fighting time increased, Andier no longer dared to rely solely on his own strength to fight.

Relying only on his own strength, Andil must use heavy blows for every blow. Over time, the muscles that mainly exert force will eventually become weak.

"Whoosh..."

Two boulders hit the wall defended by Andil, and the kobold's siege ladder broke. The number of kobolds attacking Andil's defensive area was immediately reduced.

After blasting the kobolds in twos and threes, Andil took the opportunity to stretch his sore shoulders and wrists.

"Da Vinci! Take it easy, kid! Don't forget, in addition to evil spirit, your fighting spirit also has the element of fire!"

"Huh? What does that mean?"

Da Vinci was enjoying the pleasure of rapid improvement in strength, and Andier pulled Da Vinci into reality with one word.

"Pay attention to the ratio of the evil spirit to the fire element. Your fighting spirit and flame are the orthodoxy! If the fire element is suppressed by the evil spirit, you will cry!"

"No, boss...this evil spirit will automatically feed my fighting spirit..."

"Attach the evil spirit to the spear, and you must learn to control the evil spirit! The best way to master power is to control the power! You cannot control the evil spirit, it will only harm you!"

"Oh... let me try..."

After seven hours of fighting, the Luxembourg soldiers changed to the third group. After a long period of fierce attack and defense, the bodies of the kobolds were piled seven or eight meters high under the Luxembourg city wall!

Olson sent someone to find Andier and asked if there was a 'halftime break'.

After seven hours of fierce fighting, Andile was a little tired, so he agreed to Olson's plan.

The orcs made it clear that they wanted to be cruel, but they obviously did not discuss this matter with Andil, and now Andil was ready to reject the orcs' request.

Countless clay pots were thrown down and smashed into pieces. As the soldiers threw down their torches, the offensive and defensive battle that lasted for nearly eight hours came to an end.

The raging flames shot up more than ten meters high, and the soldiers defending the city retreated to the second city wall.

As for the soldiers who stayed on guard, they took out wet towels and covered their mouths and noses. He retreated to a specific magic circle on the first city wall.

Looking at the raging fire in front of him, old Charlie hammered the wooden pile with his fist.

I originally wanted to take advantage of the darkness and let the tiger-headed men, black panthers, silver werewolves, and crocodile men, these elites with night vision capabilities, charge for a while, but the other party chose to stop the fight with fire.

In battles between soldiers with rank, especially in battles with inspired orcs, soldiers on both sides will definitely die in an instant!

How fast does a level 3 kobold sprint?

How fast does a third-level soldier draw his gun?

The speed at which the two sides fought was beyond the reach of ordinary people, and the casualties were naturally beyond the reach of ordinary cold weapon warfare.

In one day of fighting, 7 kobolds died, and nearly Luxembourg soldiers died!

The battle loss between the two sides was 11:1.

Even in a city defense battle, humans have the magic array, a weapon for defending the city, and various equipment blessings.

In all battles, this battle-loss ratio is also quite explosive.

This was because Andil held back his strength and did not let the 20,000 archers draw their bows and shoot arrows.

If 20,000 archers are dispatched, very few kobolds will be able to touch the city wall!

Of course, the elite troops of the orcs did not join the siege force. These are things for later and will not be mentioned for now.

One day of fighting, not a single new army guarding the city was defeated. Luxembourg cannot afford this kind of consumption.

However, after a day of fighting, the surviving soldiers were transforming into elites. Andiel also saw this change.

"Da Vinci, go call Vincent and come back to the living area. Don't come here anymore. Just try out the effect of Vincent's new practice room."

"Oh……"

The New Third, Fifth, and Sixth Armies are collecting the remains of the soldiers. The New First Army has dug graves for them in their hometowns. The priests are already waiting in their hometowns, just waiting for the final farewell...

Since the last time everyone in the elite knights was provided with a coffin, coffins are now required for the burial of Luxembourg's fallen soldiers.

Most of the new coffins are made of fir. Although they are cheap, they are at least a coffin.

The funeral procession formed a long queue, and Vincent went against the long queue and headed towards the second city wall command post.
