I can conquer the world with one move. Since I can blow up the city gate with an extremely effective fireball, why do I have to think of so many twists and turns to break through the city wall
Why the mage is called the King of War is also for this reason.
As long as the strength is sufficient, the magician can always find various ways to tear a hole in the enemy's defense line.
In small-scale melee, archers and thieves are the mage's nemesis.
However, it is impossible for archers and thieves to target magicians who are under heavy protection on the battlefield. It is difficult for them to bypass the army's protection network.
The stupidest and easiest way to fight magicians is to use anti-magic building materials to build city walls, but this is expensive and cannot be built in non-border cities or important strategic cities.
Another way is to find another powerful spell caster, or a group of spell casters, to interfere with each other's spell effects and reduce the power of the magic after it is formed.
If you can't beat him, join him... This is the best way.
The only problem is that spellcasters are really rare. Whether it is a warlock or a mage, the more powerful the magician is, the less willing he is to get involved in worldly matters. They prefer to stay in their magic towers and study magic.
And now, a great wizard is actually born among the Golden Sons
Old John immediately thought of someone, Roland!
At this time, Little John also thought about it, and he turned his attention to his father.
Both father and son looked fierce at the same time.
Old John roared angrily: "Everyone go back to the city and kill all the enemies in the city first."
He was really angry. He thought that the opponent didn't have many troops and dug trenches, just to defend it.
But he didn't expect that this was just a trick, and the other party would sneak around and attack him.
This feeling of being successfully attacked by someone you looked down upon was quite irritating. Old John also knew that he had underestimated the enemy and committed a taboo in war.
And more importantly, there was no news about when Roland became the Archmage.
No wonder Mori City was destroyed so easily.
There are also many inexplicable aspects of the news coming from Mori, and many of them have been deliberately hidden. If he knew that Roland was the great wizard, Old John knew that he would not act rashly.
But no matter what, let’s go back to the city now.
He looked at the broken city gate in front of him from a distance, with a cold look on his face.
Soldiers were immediately mobilized.
Turn around and start to retreat.
But at this moment, a group of shirtless men jumped out of the trench carrying two or three stone throwing spears.
They made strange cries of Ula'ula and charged forward. Using the power of their sprint, they directly threw the stone spears in their hands.
After throwing one force, he threw another one. After throwing away the throwing gun in his hand, he immediately ran back to the trench, seemingly to get a new throwing gun.
These two hundred or so talented men threw a large number of stone spears in just ten seconds.
The people in charge of the rear were naturally the shield soldiers who were on the front line not long ago. Although they raised their shields in time, a large number of stone spears came down and made loud noises. Some unlucky people were still hit in the head by the stone spears. Even with the protection of iron helmets, the violent impact still made them unconscious.
At this time, the archers who were originally in the rear but now in the front reacted and were about to launch a wave of arrows. As a result, the enemies screamed and all shot into the trench.
Although the arrows were fired, they didn't seem to hit anyone.
A certain officer in charge sighed angrily: "These are cowardly untouchables."
Although he had been rushing towards the city gate, Old John still took the time to look behind him.
He suddenly discovered that this kind of tactics of enemy advancing and we retreating, enemy retreating and harassing us was very familiar.
Then when I thought about it more carefully, my face turned a little dark.
Actually using his favorite fighting method to deal with himself
These damn sons of gold.
He immediately reined in his horse and said to the officer beside him: "You lead two hundred infantry and one hundred archers to guard those damn rats. If they come after them again, you will never be able to stay in the army again."
"yes!"
The officer made a knightly salute and immediately turned back with a group of soldiers.
Old John spurred the horses again and rushed to the front. Behind him were several young officers who were also riding horses.
The speed of riding horses was naturally very fast, but when they arrived at the city gate, they found that the entire tall city gate had been blown away, and there was only a gap of about ten meters wide in the city wall.
The stone bricks scattered around became charred black, and still emitted curls of clear smoke. One can imagine how powerful the magic that just destroyed the city gate was.
"How could this happen?" Little John looked at the city gate and felt a little incredible: "Why Roland became the Archmage, we don't know any news, and even Aldo didn't tell us."
"No matter what, let's go back to the castle first." Old John said hurriedly, holding back the anger in his heart.
Several people continued to ride forward. Shortly after they entered the city gate, there was another dazzling flash of light in the distance, and then there was another huge explosion.
They finally calmed down the frightened war horses, and then saw a plume of black smoke floating into the sky in the direction of the castle.
"Roland!" Old John finally couldn't bear it anymore and shouted angrily.
At the same time, directly in front of the castle, Roland used a self-destructive fireball technique to explode the main entrance of the castle, and then he sat down on the ground.
"No, I really can't move." Roland, whose face was frighteningly white, said to the person next to him: "Take me to a safe place."
Two soldiers immediately came over with a simple stretcher, carried him on it, and then quickly left the battlefield.
Link made a gesture, and the more than a hundred soldiers behind him immediately dispersed and began to unwrap the thick hemp ropes wrapped around them and tie them to tree stumps on both sides of the road, or wrap them around rocks half of their volume buried in the soil.
There is also a small mechanism that uses the principle of carrying a pole. With a little force, the hemp rope can be pulled straight.
After a while, more than twenty snagging ropes were set up on the road.
Then another group of soldiers got some sand from the side and carefully covered the trip rope on the road. From a distance, it was impossible to tell that there was a rope buried there.
Then the men quickly hid.
The remaining soldiers in the castle were so frightened by the self-destruction magic that they hid in the inner city and did not dare to come out.
Soon, the heavy sound of horse hooves was heard in the distance.
This is Old John's elite cavalry. Because of the trenches, they cannot be used in this battle.
So they stayed in the military camp behind the castle.
Unexpectedly, two consecutive explosions first broke the city gate, and then the castle seemed to be under attack.
The officers who stayed behind were old John's cronies, and their loyalty was needless to say.
He immediately brought all his cavalry to the rescue.
Roland was carried to a small forest, then he lay on the stretcher, opened the live broadcast room and started watching the live broadcast.
The sand sculpture steel friends in the live broadcast room are showing off their "IQ" in various ways, and their words are very pleasant, mixed with strange moaning sounds.
Then Roland watched Old John's cavalry rushing over from a distance, and watched the trip ropes jumping out of the sand one by one.
Seeing a large number of people turning on their backs, the screams of people and the neighing of horses were mixed together.
It's both brutal and enjoyable.
