(Seventh update)
With the help of the siege ladder, the dark elves climbed to the bottom first level of the Rakshasa demon fortress and started a fierce battle with the Rakshasa demon warriors guarding there. Due to the relatively narrow area of the siege ladder, the dark elves could not They formed a square formation like on the ground and approached step by step. This caused them to suffer heavy casualties when facing the indiscriminate shooting of the Rakshasa demon crossbow shooters. These Rakshasa demon crossbow shooters lined up on both sides and sandwiched the dark elves' siege ladders. , those arrows were fired in cross directions, and were quite dense. Many dark elf warriors were often killed by arrows all over their bodies before they even stood on the siege ladder.
In this case, human life is just a cold number. If there is no breakthrough, no matter how many troops are put in, they will be devoured by the Rakshasa demon one by one. Therefore, there are captains of the Dark Elf Hundreds and even the Thousands. The commander stood up and charged forward with his own bodyguards risking their lives. They were strong enough, and often wore mithril full-body armor. They had a strong defensive effect against ordinary arrows and weapons, and could support these A person completes the process of climbing up the siege ladder from the ground, and then crossing over to the Rakshasa demon city wall. He then stands on the city wall and continues to kill the enemy, buying time and gaining a foothold for the comrades behind him to move forward.
While fighting like this, behind the gap specially left by the Rakshasa demon crossbow shooters, there were also many Rakshasa demons wielding slings and firing kerosene. This sling was not a scaled-down trebuchet; Made of leather ropes, the simplest sling can be made by adding a leather bag in the middle of two leather ropes of the same length. This long-range weapon is far inferior to the crossbow in terms of power and accuracy, but it is better in making It is simple, and the biggest advantage is that you can throw kerosene. When facing the enemy, put the pebbles or kerosene to be thrown into the middle leather bag, grab the end of the leather rope and rotate it several times, etc. After reaching sufficient speed, release one of the leather ropes, and the projectile placed in the leather bag will be automatically launched.
Since there is no way to destroy the siege ladder of the dark elves, it is also a good idea to use flame burning. Throwing kerosene by hand has a limited range. If you use a sling instead, it will be no problem. A well-trained warrior can use it. The sling throws the cobblestones hundreds of meters away. If it is replaced by an easily broken fire oil bottle, six or seventy meters is absolutely no problem, but the dark elves must have considered this fire when making the siege ladder. The problem is that the surface of the siege ladder has undergone some kind of special treatment. Without a large amount of kerosene burning for a long time, it is difficult to actually ignite the wood on the siege ladder.
A fist-sized kerosene bottle flew out and hit the charging dark elf warriors. The viscous kerosene immediately covered the bodies of these warriors. Then the Rakshasa demon crossbow shooters replaced the fire arrows. There is just a simple fire magic circle added in front of the arrow. When this kind of fire arrow hits the target, the fire magic circle at the front will be activated immediately, creating something that is not serious but enough to burn the skin or ignite the fire oil. Fire damage,
The kerosene used by Rakshasa demons is also specially made. They are very viscous so they will not flow around. This ensures that the object or area coated with this kerosene can continue to burn. If it is stained by this kind of thing It is more troublesome to get rid of the body, because it is impossible to wipe it clean in a hurry. Once the kerosene on the surface of the body is ignited, unless you jump into the water immediately or bury the whole body with soil, you will only be burned alive.
The ignition of the fire oil did cause the Dark Elf's attack to show signs of stagnation, but this process was quite short-lived. After all, the Dark Elf warriors knew very well that the battle had already progressed to this level, even if their whole bodies were covered in flames. , you have to fight hard to charge, being shot by the Rakshasa demon's arrows is better than the pain of burning your body in fire. Under the leadership of a ten-man dark elf captain with blazing fire on the surface of his body, every body is burning with darkness. The elves all rushed towards the Rakshasa demon warriors on the opposite side, hoping to die together with their opponents. This kind of fighting power burst out before death was extremely powerful. Even if their bodies were full of arrows, it would be difficult to stop the desperate dark elves. As a result, Not only did the Rakshasa demon's fire oil fail to exert its intended effect, it actually caused a small-scale chaos in its own position.
A leader of a thousand-man Dark Elf team led a dozen of his personal guards to fight hard. After scaling the fortress wall, they had killed three or four times the number of Rakshasa demon warriors. The arrows fired by those Rakshasa demon crossbow shooters The arrow was almost unable to penetrate the mithril full-body armor worn by the leader of the Thousand-man Squadron and his bodyguards, allowing these dozen dark elves to persevere.
When he saw that his companions were helpless against the dark elves on the opposite side, a Rakshasa demon warrior picked up a sling and threw a bottle of kerosene. He originally planned to use this kerosene to burn the leader of the thousand-man team, but instead A guard next to the commander blocked him with his body, and then the dark elf guard turned into a fireman. However, the more this happened, the more amazing the fighting power the guard exploded. He even turned around desperately and launched A storm of swords,
Although Blade Storm is very powerful, it will also accelerate the consumption of one's own strength. In this kind of melee between the enemy and ourselves, it is easier to accidentally injure one's own people. However, the dark elf bodyguard with flames all over his body rushed directly into the Rakshasa demon. He only did this among them. The storm of swords he unleashed was not only the sound of whistling wind, but also mixed with the flames that were difficult to extinguish.
Seeing that their brother who was as close as a brother actually chose a suicidal attack, the dark elf thousand-man commander and his other personal guards all had red eyes. Even if the strength of these people did not reach the legendary realm, they were still above the ordinary advanced level. Strength, now these dozen people turned their bodies crazily and launched a sword storm together, which immediately caused a chain reaction, causing more than a dozen small storms to mix together to form a large metal hurricane, which directly strangled the Rakshasa demon warrior on the opposite side. past,
Faced with this destructive power comparable to that of a small forbidden spell, the defensive Rakshasa demon warriors could not withstand it. They did not even have a chance to retreat and were swallowed up by the oncoming hurricane. This metal frenzy was swallowed up in large quantities. Killing and injuring the lives of the Rakshasa demon warriors also squeezes the position occupied by the Rakshasa demon, providing valuable footholds for the newly emerging companions behind them. With these footholds, other dark elf warriors can protect each other. If you continue to fight, you won't be killed by the Rakshasa demon's local strength advantage as soon as you rush to the city wall.
As long as they stand still, the dark elf warriors who come up from under the city wall can join their comrades in front, use their best phalanx to resist the Rakshasa demon's counterattack, and slowly eat away at the Rakshasa demon on this city wall. control area, so that the numerical advantage of their side gradually became obvious. After the desperate dark elf commander and his bodyguards had killed most of them, the dark elf had already destroyed half of the platform through that The siege ladder occupies an area of tens of meters on the Rakshasa demon city wall, and the number of people who rushed up the city wall exceeded 500.
Of course, the Rakshasa demon would not let the dark elves consolidate their foothold so easily, so a Rakshasa demon archmage quietly leaned out half of his body somewhere a few hundred meters away on the same level city wall, and he observed a little. After looking at the surrounding environment and finding that there were no enemies that could pose a threat to him, he began to recite spells silently, preparing to use the forbidden spell to give a fatal blow to the siege ladder leaning on the city wall. As long as this climbing path was destroyed, No matter how many dark elves there are on the city wall, they are still isolated and helpless. They can be easily eliminated.
The Rakshasa demon archmage's forbidden spell magic was released quite smoothly, but just when he was about to finish reciting the last short spell in his heart, an arrow flying from nowhere pierced silently. It hit his left chest, and then brought up a ball of blood mist that penetrated from the back of the Rakshasa Demon Archmage. The eyes of the Rakshasa Demon Archmage who was hit by the arrow showed an unbelievable look. He never expected that he would When I planned to go hunting, I became the prey of a dark elf hunter hiding in the dark.
This arrow flew extremely fast and silently, completely evading the magic detection of the legendary archmage. An ordinary shooter would never be able to do it. It could only be fired by another legendary level powerhouse. It was only on the ground. The dark elves on the ground were densely packed, and the man had deliberately hidden among them before, so that he could escape the Rakshasa Demon Archmage's perception and kill him with one strike.
"Magic Archer, it's a demon..." The Rakshasa Demon Archmage felt top-heavy. His body rolled out of the city wall and fell straight to the ground. However, before his body could completely roll out, the Rakshasa Demon Archmage The mana that the mage had previously concentrated to release the forbidden spell went out of control. Then a violent explosion swept the body of the Rakshasa demon archmage into it, and also killed all the Rakshasa demon warriors within an area of nearly 100 meters. ,
A loud noise and billowing black smoke also attracted the attention of others. After seeing that they had suffered the attack, the morale of the Rakshasa warriors was naturally greatly affected, while the dark elves were The morale was greatly boosted, and the large group of crossbow shooters placed in the back row by the Rakshasa demon died in the explosion caused by the spell's backlash. The pressure on the dark elf warriors was suddenly relieved a lot. Soon, the dark elf on the wall controlled The area was expanded by dozens of meters.
A dark elf legendary strongman hiding among the crowd on the ground had a smile on his face. As a magic archer who was proficient in longbows, he focused all his attention on the longbow in his hand and the arrows behind his back. The blow just now was the best expression of the magic shooter's strength. After succeeding, the legendary dark elf warrior once again hid his identity among the dark elf warriors around him, waiting for the next prey worthy of his attack to appear.
