One Sneeze Destroys A Magical Civilization

Chapter 148 Siege

As a sinister and cunning red dragon, Bell Torgas did not attack immediately after arriving.

Just the opposite!

He first had a general understanding of the types and numbers of monsters in this army.

Then gather the chiefs of the various tribes and deter these guys by releasing "Longwei".

Finally, through integration, the mob that lacked organization and management was divided into several parts, and the "overseer" appointed by him was responsible for command and dispatch.

On the other side, the priests among the orcs and gnolls were also gathered into separate teams.

The main role of these guys is to add various buffs to all the main players before launching an attack, so as to ensure that they will not lose the wind in melee combat.

After all, the major temples in the city of Mailatma will also send priests to bless human soldiers with the same enhanced magic.

In addition, Bell Torgas personally flew over the city of Myratma, and scouted the places where the bed crossbows and ballistas were placed on the city wall.

Because those huge and sharp arrows are one of the few weapons that can threaten and hurt adult or even mature dragons.

And his public appearance immediately aroused the tension of most civilians in the city.

Since there is only one mage tower in the entire Myratma, arcane magic power is extremely scarce, so there is no air defense capability at all.

If one flew into the city from above, and then swooped down to spit out scorching flames, then most of the city would be engulfed in flames in an instant.

If the warehouses where the food reserves are stored are burned, the battle will be impossible to fight.

Therefore, after confirming that Zuo Si and the others had slept for more than eight hours, Earl Wicks Targett immediately sent someone to summon the entire team, including Jaheira and Khaled, who were harpists, to the lord. Government hall to discuss countermeasures.

Without any nonsense, he said straightforwardly: "Everyone! At two o'clock in the afternoon, many people in the city had already seen a red dragon passing overhead.

While he didn't swoop down to attack, he had caused quite a panic.

I hope you can find a way to at least ensure that this dragon cannot enter and exit the city unscrupulously.

Otherwise, large areas of residential areas in the city and warehouses for storing supplies may be burned to ashes under the attack of this red dragon. "

"Is this dragon here to investigate?"

A strange light flashed in Zuo Si's eyes.

Because he was basically sure that this red dragon that suddenly appeared above the city was definitely not Wilmes.

It should be Bell Torgas, another male red dragon that was lured.

Now that the "Bitter Man" is in place, the next "Dragon Slaying Script" can also start to be staged.

After all, the thousands of monsters outside the city are all mana waiting to be harvested in the eyes of Zuo Si.

In addition, a killing of this scale will inevitably bring about an increase in basic attributes.

He has been looking forward to using this method to make up for his relatively low attributes bit by bit.

The count nodded solemnly: "That's right! He's here to investigate.

And almost figured out the location of the large bed crossbows we arranged on the city walls and arrow towers.

The dragon's caution and cunning far exceeded my expectations.

I thought the other side would attack directly. "

Jaheira seemed to have thought of something, and immediately interjected: "Not only that! Khaled and I were once captured by the Gnoll patrol when we went deep into the camp to investigate.

When these monsters brought us to the red dragon, we all lost consciousness in an instant.

If nothing else, he should have cast some kind of charm or mind control spell.

This also means that the red dragon may cast spells to control the officers who command the battle on the city wall, causing the entire defense line to fall into chaos. "

"Damn! Wouldn't that be more troublesome?"

Count Weeks Targett's face suddenly became extremely ugly.

Not only him, but the knight who was standing aside and responsible for arranging the defense also frowned.

After all, a red dragon that can fly, breathe fire, and has extremely strong defense and vitality is already quite difficult to deal with.

Now add charm and control spells...

When the scene fell into silence, Zuo Si stood up on his own initiative and said with a smile: "Please don't worry, Lord Earl. As long as Myratma can last until nightfall, we will leave the rest to us."

"Last night? You mean..."

Count Weeks Targett seemed to realize something.

But before he could say anything, a soldier who was out of breath rushed in from outside and shouted hoarsely: "No...it's not good! The city... the monster army outside the city began to attack the city Already!"

"What? How could it be so fast! They obviously haven't built enough siege equipment yet!"

The Count jumped up from his chair with a sudden movement.

"But they have a dragon! A red dragon hovering over the city! Our people are very nervous now!" The soldier explained in a hurry.

"It seems that we have to fight a defensive battle first. Let's go, Earl. Let's go to the city wall together. Otherwise, those civilians and ordinary soldiers recruited temporarily will not be able to stop the attack of the dragon." Zuo Si did not panic. He suggested without hesitation.

"You're right! The more this is the case, the more you can't back down in the slightest."

With the help of his attendants, Earl Wicks Targett quickly put on the family-inherited magic armor, picked up a long spear shining with silver light, and was the first to lead the way outside.

In Faerûn, a land of intrigue, trickery, and countless powerful monsters, the ruling noble class has little "waste".

In other words, waste simply cannot survive in such a cruel and harsh environment.

The higher the status of the nobles, they often either have a high level of fighters, or become mages or warlocks with their huge financial resources, or become priests serving gods with the help of strong connections.

Because only in this way can they allow the family to survive in this crisis-ridden world and continue to grow stronger.

When leaving the gate of the lord's mansion, Earl Wicks Targett kissed his wife affectionately, as well as his two underage sons and a youngest daughter who was only seven or eight years old.

When a group of people crossed the street and arrived at the wall near the city gate, they could already see the monster overseer wielding his whip, driving away the messy goblins and pushing several huge siege towers and battering rams slowly forward.

Behind these cannon fodder, there are densely packed orcs, jackals, lizards and snakes that can't be seen at a glance.

Powerful creatures like trolls, ogres, and half-titans were formed into a separate team, obviously ready to be sent to break through the gates and tear apart the defenses at critical moments.

With the quality of most human soldiers, it is not easy to block these guys.

Especially this group of trolls, ogres, and half-titans are covered with thick armor pieces for protection, just like humanoid tanks.

Among them, even the shortest ogre is three meters tall, half titan can grow to three and a half meters, and troll is more than four meters two.

Usually it only takes one stick to smash several people into meatloaf or meat sauce.

Such a huge disparity in size and strength is enough to turn the bravest of men into cowards in an instant.

In addition, those catapults, which looked very rough in workmanship but were enough to pose a huge threat to the city wall, had also slowly started throwing stones.

But it's a pity that the jackals with little knowledge and education obviously don't know how to adjust the distance.

It was launched several times successively, but there was still a long distance from the city wall.

Among them, two big stones were smashed on the heads of their own people.

Seven or eight goblins were killed on the spot, and a large number of them were injured.

Although the monsters built many siege tools for themselves by enslaving human captives, they lacked knowledge and education and really couldn't play with these "high technologies".
