Are there any weaknesses in the Rune Defense Formation
If we want to talk about an existence like that kind of gate, it does not exist above the entire barrier. The elements flow evenly in every corner of the formation, and no matter where it is attacked, it can be quickly resisted. But... this does not mean that Benjamin can tolerate the enemy's random exploration of the barrier.
The church should also have done some research on runes. Not to mention cracking them, if they figured out the principles of the rune defense array and stole this technology, that would be absolutely intolerable!
"You guys will lead some people and kill them all." Therefore, Benjamin said without hesitation.
The soldiers on the side were stunned for a moment, and they didn't even realize the other party's intentions at this moment. However, because of the lofty reputation Benjamin enjoyed at the moment, the mages guarding the city nodded, jumped up, and quickly flew downwards.
Benjamin also came to the place where the formation was controlled and opened a small opening in the barrier, just enough to let the dozen mages fly out.
"What... what are you going to do?"
Accompanied by the flying flames, less than half of the Hori Kingdom's centurions were burned to death before they could react. Seeing this, the remaining people could only give up testing the rune defense array, discard their helmets and armor, and run towards their camp in a hurry.
-This group of people are just death squads who trade their lives for information. They don't have much combat power. They definitely can't fight the mages of Ikol head-on.
They can run one by one.
When the mages who flew out saw this, they also accelerated and subconsciously chased forward. Benjamin spoke quickly and called them back.
"Don't chase! There are too many priests over there, come back quickly!"
From his sensing, he could see that there were many priests waiting for him at the camp. Obviously, the hundred-man team may be studying the rune defense array, but it is also a provocative bait.
The mages were reminded and braked one after another, quickly returning to Rock City. The small opening on the barrier closed, and the priests in the camp of Horli Kingdom couldn't help but look disappointed when they saw this.
However, they don't seem to be giving up.
"After all, you are the dean of the Magic Academy. Why do you look so timid like a little girl now?"
After a while, several priests suddenly flew out from the camp opposite and slowly approached Rock City. The words were full of mockery, amplified by divine magic and heard from afar.
...here it comes, the most classic shouting session in siege warfare.
Benjamin was not angry, but felt like a mirror in his heart.
"Ignore them." He waved his hand to appease the agitated soldiers and mages beside him, and said, "Just keep watch. If they come to test the rune defense array again, just drive them away. Don't chase them out. Don’t fall into their trap, our presence in the city is the biggest headache for them.”
After saying that, he simply ignored the priests' yelling, turned around, and left directly from the city wall.
In this case, they had to keep their composure. Even if the other side sent him women's clothes, he would have to yawn and pretend he didn't see it. As a defender, he had to be prepared for this inferior provocation.
Outside the city, the priests continued to ridicule him for a while. Seeing that Benjamin had no reaction, they went back angrily.
"What? Doesn't it work?"
In the camp, General Press looked at the priests who returned empty-handed and couldn't help showing a disappointed look.
"We have already said that that guy is a demon, how could he be angered so easily?" the priest said coldly, "General, you should plan your siege carefully and don't always think about these useless things."
"Really? So what about the information about the Rune Defense Formation? What did the few people you sent find out?"
“…”
Several priests were asked again and were speechless.
"To each other, don't think my methods are ugly." The general glanced at them disdainfully and said, "Go on, provoke them a few more times, and they might react. Don't be idle either, I Sooner or later you have to get the information I need."
Upon hearing this, the priests looked at each other with somewhat helpless expressions.
In this way, from that evening to late night, the shouting and cursing outside Rock City and the archery team testing back and forth never disappeared.
The army of the Hori Kingdom adopted a very rogue attitude. They constantly sent people near the barrier to use attacks to test the changes in elements during defense. Once the mages in Rock City chased them out, they turned around and ran away, leaving the mages defending the city in a state of distress.
To be honest, at this point, Benjamin no longer thinks that the church can study anything from the rune defense array. It is just disgusting. This style of work is really inconsistent with the previous church, and they have no other choice but to endure it for the time being.
Fortunately, others are sleeping too. Late at night, the provocative behavior finally ceased, and the people of Rock City were finally able to get a good night's sleep.
the next day.
"... It's started. These people are planning to do it for real."
The executive prime minister stood at the top of the city, looking at the troops gradually gathering outside the city, his face solemn.
Yesterday, the Horli Kingdom's army just came over, and the soldiers were tired, so they only conducted a trial attack with the Holy Light Cannon. After the night passed, they finished resting, and the real army siege was about to begin.
"What are you worried about? If they dare to attack, the traps we prepared are not simple." Benjamin shrugged and said as usual.
The president also nodded in agreement.
At this moment, a large number of soldiers and mages have gathered on the city wall. Wooden piles, rolling stones, boiling water... these things have been prepared long ago. The terrain of Rock City is already high. Even if the rune defense formation is broken, it will not be easy for the enemy to rush up.
Just like that, when the sun gradually rose to the highest point in the sky, the horn of charge sounded in the camp of Horli Kingdom.
Woo!
General Press raised his sword in front of the team.
"Soldiers, in order to fulfill the glorious divine will and to purify the evil mage, charge forward!"
A thundering roar sounded, and the cavalry in the front row grasped their spears and were the first to charge towards Rock City. Immediately afterwards, ordinary soldiers from all over the mountains and plains rushed up, holding a total of a dozen huge wooden stakes for the city, and ran forward behind the cavalry.
Countless priests were flying in the air. From a distance, they looked like a huge wave of bats, flying towards Rock City together with the soldiers below. In the last row of the team, the Holy Light Cannon was set up again, obviously going to launch a terrible offensive towards the rune defense array just like yesterday...
Looking at the scene in front of him, Benjamin couldn't help but take a deep breath.
What a big move... Does the church still want to prepare the strongest offensive to directly break through Rock City's defense
Thinking this, he suddenly let out a cold snort.
"All mages, listen to the order and pour all the elements you can into the rune defense array!" Benjamin's face was as cold as a frozen iron halberd. "If they want to collide, then let them Bump your head and bleed!"
