Mount and Blade System: Start from Pioneer Lords

#178 - Second Captain, where is my catapult?

Through the lens, Li Wei clearly saw that this ray of lightning was actually a lightning arrow flashing with electric arcs.

It crossed a distance of hundreds of steps and went straight into the formation of the Thorns Legion.

The ball of light flickered, like a grenade, instantly blasting dozens of people away.

"Damn, a tough character has arrived."

Moving the telescope, a centaur standing behind the Wilderness Allied Forces came into view through the lens.

At this time, he was drawing his bow and aiming an arrow, with lightning flashing on his body.

This was obviously a wilderness powerhouse who controlled the element of lightning. This scene reminded the Lord of the dragonkin gnoll who also controlled the element of fire last time.

"This should be the centaur leader that Si Kai mentioned."

Li Wei didn't forget the figure of Si Kai who led his men to explore the depths of the wilderness and returned in embarrassment.

I guess it was this guy who made Si Kai suffer.

The situation changed quietly with the addition of this centaur. The soldiers of the Thorns Legion were all fearful and their morale decreased, while the morale of the Wilderness Allied Forces, who had been beaten back steadily, rose sharply, and they actually started a fierce attack again.

"Second Regiment Commander, where's mytrebuchet?" Li Wei beckoned and said fiercely, "Bring it up to me, aim and fire!"

As long as the Lord is here, Zart, who can only be the second-in-command for ten thousand years, hurriedly ran over to order the orc guards to crank the winch of thetrebuchet, suspending the counterweight high and lowering the stone basket.

In theory, the counterweights of these trebuchets(投石机: trebuchet) are extremely heavy. Previously, it took ten pig-headed warriors to crank the winch and use ropes to pull down the stone basket.

But now, four orc barbarians were straining their arms, their blue veins bulging, and frantically cranking the ropes.

The stone basket actually lowered little by little until it was close to the ground.

Zart easily picked up a boulder and placed it in the stone basket. As long as the orc guards released the winch, the counterweight would fall, and this boulder could be thrown out instantly.

But Zart was now in trouble: "Boss, this is our first time using this thing, I guess we won't be able to hit it accurately."

This was a preemptive strike to avoid being blamed by the boss if he didn't hit accurately later.

"It's going to happen sooner or later anyway, let the warriors practice first."

Li Wei waved his hand indifferently.

In the future, Highcliff Fortress will inevitably move towards regularization and high-end development. Large military equipment such as bed crossbows, trebuchets(投石机: trebuchet), and siege rams will inevitably become a part of the Burning Legion.

It's the same to practice ahead of time now.

After all, thetrebuchet is the same as the heavy artilleryman in the previous life, and it also requires experienced people to be accurate.

Don't you see, the group of unlucky things in front threw a boulder into the logistics base.

"Release!"

With an order.

Three boulders cut through the air and went straight to the battlefield of the wilderness natives.

The half-man-sized boulders fell heavily, hitting a group of bear goblins in the middle without deviation, and then continued to roll forward, smashing dozens of bear goblins with blood spraying from their mouths and noses, and their chests collapsed. Obviously, they could not survive.

Unfortunately, the other two flew straight over the main battlefield and finally landed in the snow not far away.

"Good job!" Li Wei slapped his thigh and gave a thumbs up without hesitation.

Hitting one out of the first three can be considered very good. Although it cannot be ruled out that it was a fluke, the Lord still gave them praise.

The barbarians were greatly encouraged. With the experience of the first time, they began to adjust the height of the counterweight to control the throwing distance.

Boulders began to rise into the air and then fall heavily.

The orc barbarians were working enthusiastically. With each scream coming from afar, they became more excited, because it meant that the boulders they threw had successfully caused casualties.

Experience began to accumulate, and they threw more and more accurately.

So much so that now almost every one can accurately throw into the opponent's position, causing great casualties.

Later, the Lord simply took out his telescope and focused on watching the situation on the battlefield, watching with relish.

It seemed to have a chain reaction. As they started using trebuchets(投石机: trebuchet) here, the trebuchets(投石机: trebuchet) that the Thorns Legion had prepared long ago also began to be put into the battlefield, giving the wilderness natives an unimaginable blow.

As time passed little by little, the wilderness people who were directly attacking the Thorns Legion's camp began to become sparse. The tragic hell of flesh and blood was challenging the nerves of every newcomer, and the boulders flying over their heads from time to time made them tremble, fearing that the boulder would hit them.

They finally couldn't bear it anymore. No matter how the earth goblins acting as supervising officers scolded, they began to abandon their companions and retreat backward at all costs.

The shouts of killing gradually stopped, leaving only the wounded groaning in pain all over the ground.

"I don't know how many people will return to the embrace of the Ice and Snow Goddess forever tonight." Mai Sha looked at the trace of light that had appeared on the horizon, with a wry smile on her face.

She was not feeling sorry for this group of wilderness people, but for the soldiers of the Thorns Legion.

"War is originally about piling up people's lives. It is impossible not to die." The Lord patted Mai Sha on the shoulder and comforted her.

To be honest, tonight's war is not as good as the battle he defended the Feder tribe.

At least now the strength of their side is not less than that of the wilderness people, and the soldiers and equipment are even more sophisticated. There are also casters who can respond at any time, which seems tragic.

In fact, most of the wounded were caused by the three trebuchets(投石机: trebuchet) in front.

"Collect the spoils of war and return to the camp."

The Lord waved his hand, and the orc barbarians began to collect the weapons and equipment scattered on the ground. Several behemoths pulled the trebuchets(投石机: trebuchet) that had been disassembled into parts, and walked towards the new camp with great effort.

Compared to the previous group, they prefer their current master. The particularly short little guy will give them meat strips to eat as long as they work hard.

It's much better than the pig-headed people who only know how to beat them.

Tikri, who was escorted by two orc guards, looked sadly at the tribesmen lying in the pool of blood. Their bodies had long been frozen hard and were like ice.

But now he has also become someone else's slave, so how can he be better?

When he returned to the main battlefield with his men, some soldiers of the Thorns Legion were wandering on the battlefield, giving the wilderness people who were still groaning the last blow.

These wilderness people are obviously impossible to accept. If they are left alone, they will bleed to death in pain, so out of humanitarianism, most people will directly give them a happy ending.

"Pan, how is the situation?"

Li Wei caught sight of Panda, who was sitting paralyzed at the gate of the camp, like a big pile of meat, and walked over with a smile.

Its black and white fur had all been dyed red, and it looked exhausted.

The corpses of the wilderness people around were piled two or three blades high, at least hundreds of them, which shows how tragic the fight was.

"It's okay, I won't die." Panda took two breaths and got up from the ground.

"Just a few wilderness hicks, it's not enough to make you so tired, right?"

The Lord asked curiously.
