Chapter 324 Target

"Those who can still move, retreat with us into the inner city. We will use the fortifications in the inner city for defense."

The human mage was finally able to hear what the elven mage was saying. The other party roared and asked everyone who could still move to retreat.

He struggled to stand up from the ground and leaned back on the tower, which was only half a ruin. He waved his hand to let the elven mage help other war mages who were injured in the first round of attacks by the enemy.

The mage armor that he had never let go of saved his life. The sudden shock wave fell on the mage armor and made his mind temporarily stop in this chaotic information flow.

It also blocked the fragments and aftermath generated by the edge of the explosion.

The shock wave of the explosion made him temporarily deaf, and even his voice was a little weird when it was transmitted to his ears.

He took a deep breath with difficulty, and the turbid air filled with the pungent smell of gunpowder squeezed into his nasal cavity, making him cough violently a few times.

This smell was very similar to the gunpowder he had touched before, but it was mixed with some smells that he couldn't tell, and there was a little sulfur smell.

It's not poison gas, the air is safe.

Taking a deep breath to wake up his spirit, the human mage looked around the battlefield that was hit by an unknown force. He was lucky, there was a crater on the ground not far from him caused by the explosion.

There were no soldiers in the center of the crater. He suspected that the remaining parts of the soldiers who fell to the ground not far away were the line infantry who were originally standing in the center of the crater. A little further away from the crater, a group of soldiers were lying on the ground, and they were like falling down.

The range of the shock wave generated by the close-range explosion is far greater than the range of the flames that can be observed visually.

Everyone around the landing point died. The human mage could use the detection spell to feel that the organs of these line infantry lying on the ground had been messed up by the previous attack.

He noticed that most of the artillery fire was applied to the city wall, and the thick city wall that stood firm under the baptism of the enemy's lead bullet rain also became shaky-just the few shots that passed the city wall caused them such serious casualties.

Was the bombardment just now the power of the enemy's main weapon? That was terrible.

If so, then surrender was their only choice.

Or, the things floating in the sky could use the flying spell to escape before they approached the fortress.

The mage's eyes fell on the tower he had originally defended, which was washed by the rain of lead bullets and had a lot of surface shatters. Now only the lower half of the tower was left with a rock structure, and the remaining structure of the upper half was still collapsing in the falling sand and gravel.

In any case, it was impossible for this tower to be put into battle now.

The human mage's eyes fell on the arcane focus generator not far away. Its main body was severely damaged in the bombardment, and large cracks appeared on the smooth and transparent surface of the prism. Most of the frames used to support the arcane focus generator were missing, leaving only a relatively solid main frame against the gray rock wall.

The war equipment they had tried hard to protect before was also on the verge of being scrapped, and the unstable elemental energy inside the prism was flowing and overflowing on the surface of the prism.

They could only abandon the entire outer wall and evacuate to the inner fortress.

It was not known when the enemy's second round of such attacks would arrive.

I just hope that the enemy can prepare for such a powerful bombardment for a little longer...

With this level of lethality, the preparation time would not be too short.

"Go, don't just stand there."

He carried a war mage who was lying on the ground and still had some breath on his back and wanted to drag him back to the second wall. If he couldn't retreat, he would rescue as many as he could.

The enemy focused his eyes behind him, in the sky behind him.

A new light blue meteor streaked across the small sky in the city, and everyone knew that this was not a meteor that could calm people down.

It was a sign of death.

The continuous explosions in the distance sounded as expected.

The second round of attacks began.

Fly up, and you can avoid the attack by flying up.

The human mage squeezed his already limited mental and mana reserves, stretched out his long wings to lift him up, and dragged the war mage into the sky.

In the air, he saw the muzzle flames not far away that had not yet disappeared in the air, as hot and bright as the flames that had risen in front of them.

The firelight illuminated the dense gray soldiers' prepared offensive line, and the front ends of their rifles flashed with a cold light.

Illuminating the mechanical structures flashing with blue arcs, the firelight reflected them even more cold and ruthless, and the human mage had no way of noticing that there were so many mechanical structures hidden in the shadows.

The bombardment ended, and the dazzling continuous flames seemed to have never appeared, and the enemy's blades and machines dived into the darkness again.

The bright orange-yellow light came into his field of vision.

He quickly realized that this was what the enemy's artillery fired.

Their figures were hidden in the night, and each ammunition had an orange-yellow light spot, crossing the two hundred meters at a slow speed visible to the naked eye.

Passing by the rising mage, he smelled a smell similar to the pungent smell of the ground, the smell of burning.

The orange-yellow light spot extinguished and disappeared before landing.

Since they passed by me, it means that the trajectory of this batch of bullets...is not aimed at the wall...

No, not extinguished.

The human mage looked at his own troops on the ground, which were as chaotic as scattered rice grains. They vaguely realized what was about to happen.

He could do nothing but watch in vain as orange flames extinguished one after another beside him.

The disappearance of the light spot does not mean the end.

It has burned out and will bloom its most terrifying sparks among the enemy.

The second round of attacks arrived.

A semi-arc flame rose on the brown soil, and the shock wave that could be observed carried the floating dust and destroyed everything in front of it.

The rock wall was meaningless, the mage's armor was as brittle as paper, and all defensive spells seemed powerless. Only mages like him who spread their wings and rose into the sky could escape.

The only area within sight was the rising flames and dust haze, and even if he was hovering a hundred meters in the air, he could feel the ground shaking.

There was no wailing, no call for help, and all the sounds were drowned in the silent roar.

The third round of attacks entered the preparation state, and the barrel angle was raised again, and the amount of gunpowder in the barrel was increased. The target was the main structure of the entire castle.

As always, the projectile attack destroyed the last bit of the resistance with overwhelming firepower. Whether it is the walls or the towers, whether it is the mages or the soldiers, they must face the deadly threat sent to them.

After the three rounds of attacks, the human mages saw in the air that the soldiers finally left their shelters in the shadows, and the indifferent mechanical constructs abandoned their shields and walked out of the fortifications and began to move forward.

The human mages looked at the other side's forward steps, and their hearts became calmer than ever before.

This battle is finally over, whether it is death in battle or surrender, there is no need to worry about it.

They walked out of the shadows, crossing the remaining obstacles on the battlefield in an orderly and rapid manner like a gray tide, with the mechanical constructs accompanying them.

This time there will be no more arcane focuser light flow to block the footsteps of these steel creations, they will stride forward without any cover.

Nothing can stop their forward steps.
