For the Rakshasa demon warriors hiding outside the fortress, the catastrophic scene in front of them was just the beginning. The sound of winches made by thirty heavy trebuchets kept coming one after another, and the heavy boulders in the sky were like meteors. It roared in, razing the position dug by the Rakshasa demon to the ground, clearing the way for the dark elf warriors to attack.
Behind the dark elf phalanx, more than a dozen private soldiers of the dark elf family were working as laborers, transporting huge stones to the positions of the heavy trebuchets so that friendly forces could continuously attack the enemy. With sufficient logistical support, as long as those heavy-duty riprap trucks do not malfunction, there will be absolutely no problem even if they continue to throw rocks for several days and nights.
An hour later, the dark elves' long-range strikes had almost thrown five or six hundred boulders. However, compared to the endless positions outside the Rakshasa demon's fortress, it was not particularly obvious. In fact, it was impossible for the dark elves to do so. Expecting to completely flatten everything here with boulders, throwing boulders repeatedly for an hour is just to attack the Rakshasa demon's command system, destroy the Rakshasa demon's tight defense line as much as possible, and prepare for the next move.
Seeing that the purpose of this first step has been achieved, the leading dark elf phalanx, under the command of their commander's command, formally entered the Rakshasa demon's outer position with neat steps. There were vertical and horizontal trenches everywhere. , its width is enough to block the crossing of the bipedal lizard. Naturally, these dark elf warriors cannot do it overnight. They only enter the position to raise their shields to cover the family private soldiers behind them, so that they can carry soil to fill those trenches.
Seeing the dark elf warriors entering their own position, the Rakshasa demon warriors emerged from their hiding places one after another. They all held crossbows in their hands. This is a powerful long-range weapon. The arrows fired by it Arrows have stronger penetrating power, better accuracy, and are simple and easy to use. As long as they can afford to make them, they can provide large-scale equipment to the army. Therefore, there will naturally be no shortage of such weapons in such an important military area as the Three Peaks Fortress. long range shooter,
The crossbow shooter of the Rakshasa demon only needs to aim at the general direction and pull the mechanism in his hand to launch deadly arrows. Even if he wears leather armor, he has no resistance within a few hundred meters. In order to To ensure the safety of the family private soldiers carrying sandbags, the dark elf warriors who entered the Rakshasa demon's position raised their shields to block the arrows for the friendly forces.
Suddenly the sky was filled with dense arrows, most of which were blocked by the shield wall composed of the dark elf phalanx. However, no matter how tight the protection of the phalanx is, it is impossible to achieve a perfect fit. There will always be gaps that can be blocked by arrows. The arrows penetrated, so from time to time dark elf warriors were hit by arrows and fell to the ground. However, as soon as there was a loophole in this metal shield wall, new dark elf warriors would block it, and there would never be any sign of collapse of the shield wall.
The private soldiers of the family who were carrying pre-packed sandbags also knew that it was a critical moment of life and death. If they wanted to survive, it was impossible to turn around and escape, because the supervising team behind would make anyone who tried to be a deserter die faster. They only He could grit his teeth and move the sand and fill the ravines with all his strength, and let the friendly troops rush up earlier to fight the Rakshasa demon crossbow shooters in close combat. Therefore, the whole movement was accelerated a lot under the dual temptation of the leader's whip and to save his life.
Companions kept falling down after being hit by arrows, but more companions rushed forward carrying sandbags and shields. The dark elves' attack path was simply to advance step by step on the corpses of friendly troops, but with the filling As the project progressed, the speed of the dark elves also showed signs of slowing down. After all, the dark elves who later carried those sandbags needed to run more distances. In order to protect this road of life, the dark elves warriors The pressure experienced by the demon crossbow shooters in the rain of arrows fired by them also became more and greater.
In order to reduce the pressure on the front, the heavy trebuchets at the back began to focus on clearing out the Rakshasa demon bunkers where a large number of people were hiding. However, the effect was not particularly ideal. After experiencing the initial panic, the Rakshasa demon warriors had already Gradually adapting to the rhythm of this kind of battle, many of them even hid behind the boulders smashed into the ground, which became a new and more effective bunker.
More dark elf warriors joined the battle, including thousands of crossbow shooters. They relied on the shield wall formed by friendly forces and fired arrows at the Rakshasa demon not far away through the gaps between the shields. The Rakshasa crossbow shooters also suffered new casualties, but the dark elves' counterattack did not scare away the Rakshasa demon warriors. Instead, they made the latter more flexible. Many experienced veterans began to carry out guerrilla operations, often with good reloading skills. After firing the crossbow, only half of the body is exposed to fire, then immediately hides back in the bunker or behind a boulder to reload, and then appears and fires from other directions and positions.
This new fighting method of the Rakshasa demon makes the dark elves quite uncomfortable. After all, the dark elves cannot fill up the entire peripheral position. They can only fill in a passage about thirty meters wide. Those holding shields The warriors raised their shields on both sides and above the passage to protect the family soldiers carrying sandbags from passing quickly below. The further the passage advanced, the longer the distance left behind for those Rakshasa monsters. There are more loopholes in sneak attacks. Those Rakshasa demon crossbow shooters can fire freely as long as they roughly find a gap. But how can these thousands of dark elf crossbow shooters find all the elusive Rakshasa demon crossbow shooters on both sides of the passage in advance? Come out, even if you want to shoot indiscriminately, you can't withstand such a huge consumption of arrows.
Although the losses in the front battle were quite huge, the determination of the dark elves to fill the ditch and advance was not hindered. All the companions who were unfortunately killed by arrows were mercilessly thrown into the deep pit dug by the Rakshasa demon. Behind them, more and more square formations were added, and a long metal dragon pointed directly at the three peaks in the distance in an almost straight posture.
Time passes very quickly in battle, and time in battle also passes very slowly, but no matter what, as long as there is no super strong person using magic to forcibly imprison the passage of time, it will flow quietly and silently, forever. Without stopping, the battle has been going on for two hours unknowingly, and an hour has passed since the dark elf warriors officially joined the battle. If these elite dark elf warriors were to move forward with all their strength in normal times, they would be able to attack more than ten kilometers, but now they can only A passage thirty meters wide and no more than nine hundred meters long was opened on the outer position of the Rakshasa demon.
Standing at the command post, Ryan looked down from a high position and could only find such an inconspicuous "bump" on the plain that stretched for more than ten kilometers outside the Three Peaks Fortress, just for such a small achievement. , the dark elves have already paid tens of thousands of casualties. If they want to use this method to pave a way through here, they will have to pay dozens of times the price, and they may not succeed, and they will lose their lives. Regardless of the significance, in fact, the killing scene in front of you can very well cultivate the overall situation. Many outstanding leaders will slowly abandon their personal likes and dislikes through this kind of training, and everything will only focus on interests. The so-called casualties are just A boring number,
Although Ryan is a strong player in the field, his nature still cannot force him to achieve that kind of ruthless state. Even though it is the dark elf warrior who is dying on the battlefield now, he carefully observed the battlefield and suddenly spoke to Aledia Said: "In this current situation, it seems that the legendary mage can be used to activate the earth-based forbidden spell. This should be more convenient and faster than now to achieve the goal."
Aledia heard Ryan's voice and smiled at him, but did not speak. Instead, Faras gently pulled Ryan's sleeve and whispered beside him: "Remember when we were in the imperial capital, my father Is it the kind of Imperial War Chess that I played in my study?" Seeing Ryan nodded slightly, Faras continued: "Actually, Molik's combat ideas are basically the same as ours in playing Imperial War Chess, that is, at the minimum cost. In exchange for the greatest benefit.”
"The minimum price, the maximum benefit." Ryan chewed on the two words Faras said in his heart. In fact, he had vaguely guessed the dark elves' intentions in this regard, but he was not able to accept this method. This is his kind nature, and he has not become indifferent to other people's lives because of his growth in strength.
Farasi said calmly: "To put it bluntly, war is about who has more trump cards. Whoever uses stronger trump cards in the situation at hand will naturally become passive in the next battle. On the contrary, if you can use hundreds of thousands or even hundreds of Tens of thousands of ordinary people are exchanged for a super strong person of sufficient weight from the enemy. I believe that Molik and the others will do this without any hesitation. Do you still remember that you were no match for me no matter how you played, because you couldn't ignore everything? , such as other people’s lives.”
When Faras said this, he smiled self-deprecatingly and said to Ryan: "Actually, although I know that as a superior, I should do this, but I can't do it myself. It's just that I look the same when playing games. Speaking of which, when I took up the position of the great consul, I could only barely do some trivial things, and could not be said to be competent at all. Without the support of teachers, I would have been swallowed up by political opponents long ago, and even my bones were gone. Not a single bit will be left.”
After hearing what Faras said, Ryan sighed slightly and said nothing more, but his eyes moved away from the battlefield in the distance. His performance made Aledia next to him completely see it. The strong man in the dark elf field laughed in his heart. From the perspective of the dark elf, it is a miracle that a strong man like Ryan can survive to this day. However, from the perspective of Aledia's status, a person who values life A strong person in the field is definitely the best assistant and partner, because such a character usually does not have ambitions. Aledia does not need to worry about the plot from behind, as long as she pays attention not to touch Ryan's bottom line, then this human and His companions will become the strongest pillar behind Aledia,
