Online Games Barbarism and Civilization

As the dull bells echoed throughout the Koksu Fortress, the resting defenders in the city immediately picked up the weapons around them and ran towards the city wall.

"The enemy is attacking, please wake up quickly, the enemy is attacking..."

Knowing that the situation was urgent, in order to ensure the safety of the fortress, many soldiers directly knocked on the closed doors, preparing to wake up their companions who were on duty last night and go to the city wall to defend the enemy.

As the west city gate was opened, a group of more than 20 cavalrymen quickly passed through the city gate and ran straight towards the fortress behind.

In about ten minutes, the east wall of Koksu Fortress was filled with dense soldiers. Everyone held their weapons tightly and stared intently at the enemy camp in the distance that was beginning to stir.

...

The forbidden air domain is a double-edged sword. Although it can prevent the enemy's flying legion from approaching to the greatest extent, it also prevents the development of our own flying legion.

Because the forbidden area is an indiscriminate forbidden area that does not distinguish between ourselves and the enemy.

Since turning the entire Tajikistan into a forbidden air country, Tajik players have lost the qualification to have flying legions, and there is only an army within the entire country.

Due to the restricted airspace, all creatures with the attribute of low-altitude flight cannot normally take off in Tajikistan. Therefore, Tajik players can only rely on homing pigeons and cavalry to convey messages over long distances.

Although the homing pigeon has a very strong ability to recognize roads, it is a bird with a low IQ after all. It only knows how to choose the nearest route to fly, and will not take the initiative to take detours to avoid possible dangers on the road.

The cavalry's goal is even greater. They are so high up that anyone who is not blind can spot their whereabouts at a glance.

Arman thought that by sending a team of cavalry to act as decoys, he could safely cover the few homing pigeons that were quietly released. Little did he know that the entire Koksu Fortress had long been closely watched by Seraph scouts.

Neither the team of cavalry messengers who clearly left the west city gate nor the homing pigeons that Arman secretly let fly could escape the eyes of the Seraphs.

When they discovered that all five homing pigeons were flying towards the Saletash Fortress in the west, fifty Seraph scouts immediately chased them.

Five kilometers away from the Koksu Fortress, the Seraph scouts successfully shot all five carrier pigeons, and then easily eliminated the group of more than 20 cavalry messengers.

So far,

All the messengers sent by Arman to report the news were killed. If no special circumstances occurred, the Saretash Fortress sixty kilometers away would not have known that they had been attacked.

...

"Archers prepare!"

Seeing the orc warriors wearing cassocks and Taoist robes slowly walking toward the fortress, Arman immediately ordered the archers to prepare for long-range attacks.

He wanted to see if the bear-men in cassocks and tiger-men in Taoist robes from the Condor Empire were really not afraid of death.

However, the bear walkers and tiger warriors who were heading towards the fortress seemed to have understood Arman's intentions in advance. They stopped advancing when they were four hundred meters away from the fortress.

Seeing those orc warriors wearing Taoist robes and cassocks suddenly stopped in the distance, Arman couldn't help but frown. After a moment, he immediately raised his head and looked at the sky in the distance.

At this time, the large white cloud in the distance was still slowly drifting towards the fortress. It seemed that it would take at least five or six minutes to reach the vicinity of the fortress.

As the distance gets closer, the figure standing on the clouds can be clearly seen through the telescope.

Staring at the figures wrapped in silver armor standing on the white clouds, Arman felt an inexplicable feeling of palpitations.

If his memory was correct, the white clouds in the distant sky should be somersault clouds, a specialty of the Huaxia District.

But as far as he knew, too many people could not stand on top of somersault clouds. It seemed that each somersault cloud could only support their owner.

Moreover, the somersault cloud has extremely strict environmental requirements. When fighting on a somersault cloud, there cannot be too much wind in the sky, otherwise the somersault cloud will be blown away by the wind.

Moreover, the somersault clouds themselves do not have any ability to move independently. They can only rely on human power to drive them, or they can drift with the wind.

Today is a southeasterly wind. Although the wind on the ground is not very strong and cannot even cause the leaves to swing significantly, at an altitude of 700 meters, the wind force can reach Level 3 or 4.

According to the self-destructions of Chinese players on the forum, the wind force of level 3 or 4 was enough to blow away the somersault clouds. Otherwise, the players in Huaguo Mountain would not have been able to attack the hostile forces in windless weather.

But now the somersault clouds in the distance not only carried a larger number of soldiers, but also seemed to be floating directly to the west, not to the southeast. This was suddenly beyond Arman's understanding.

Could it be that the Chinese player who broke the news on the forum was telling lies and that he deliberately used lies to deceive others?

During a period of random thoughts, Arman's expression kept changing. Sometimes he was confused, sometimes angry, and sometimes deeply helpless.

"Sir, those clouds have drifted over."

Just when Arman was seriously distracted because he was thinking about the solution, Abram, whose eyes were red, appeared beside him without knowing when.

Glancing at Abram's eyes that were red due to lack of sleep, Arman sighed softly: "Abramu, these somersault clouds in front of you seem to be very abnormal. Have you thought of any good way to deal with the somersault clouds standing on them? The enemy?"

Shaking his head slightly, Abram whispered: "Sir, looking at the posture, the enemy must be well prepared.

They came up with so many trump cards at once to attack our small fortress, and they were bound to win.

It’s not that I have the ambition of others, but the gap in strength between the enemy and us is indeed a bit big.

I guess today we may be in bad luck.

So please be prepared in advance to live or die with the fortress! "

In order not to be heard by others, Abram kept his voice as low as possible.

Hearing what Abram said, Arman suddenly looked solemn.

He glanced at Abram, who was staring at the sky, and loudly ordered to the defenders on the city wall: "Wait for those clouds to come closer, and then shoot for me immediately.

The law enforcement team obeyed the order, and if anyone was timid and retreated after the fighting started, they would all be punished on the spot. "

ah...

As soon as Arman finished speaking, a scream immediately came from the city wall.

In Arman's horrified eyes, a black rain of arrows suddenly fell from the sky.

"Quick, raise your shield to defend!"

After seeing that the arrow rain was coming from the direction of the somersault cloud, Arman immediately loudly reminded the soldiers on the city wall.

The defenders in the Koksu Fortress were all Tajikistan's elites. Before Arman could warn him, they had already squatted on the ground and used shields to protect their whole bodies as much as possible.

However, even though they had done a good enough job, some people still kept falling down after being hit by arrows. The shield they held on which all their hopes were placed could not protect them at all.

As the black rain of arrows kept falling on the city wall, scenes of shields being shattered and people dying kept going on.

"why why?"

Looking at the corpses and broken shields on the city wall, Arman's eyes suddenly became bloodshot.

"Sir, the city wall can no longer be defended. Let's quickly retreat to the city and defend it to the death!"

Seeing that Arman was about to run away, a group of Abrams grabbed his arm and persuaded him while pulling him down the city.

Unfortunately, before the two of them could walk a few meters, a swarm of black arrows were fired at them.

After the rain of arrows, there were dozens more corpses and a lot of broken shields among the thousands, including Arman and Abram.

Abram guessed that the Condor Empire was well prepared this time, and also guessed that Koksu Fortress would most likely fall today, but he still did not guess that the long-range firepower of the Condor Empire army would be so fierce.

The fundamental reason is that they have never really seen the fighting style of the Somersault Cloud Legion, and they don't even know that Somersault Cloud has two life forms.

In their eyes, the biggest feature of Somersault Cloud is that it can ignore the forbidden air field, and then launch free-for-nothing shots at the enemy from a high position.

As everyone knows, Somersault Cloud also has a hidden passive ability, which can greatly improve the penetration of long-range shots.

Arrows shot from a high position have more powerful gravitational potential energy and dynamic acceleration.

Because the flight path of the arrow is from top to bottom, the loss of kinetic energy caused by air resistance can be greatly reduced.

As a result, under the same flight distance, arrows shot from high altitudes have more penetrating power than arrows thrown from the ground.

However, ordinary arrows cannot perfectly take advantage of this advantage. Due to quality issues, ordinary arrows are easily deformed or even directly broken when hit violently.

In order to perfectly unleash the destructive power of Somersault Cloud's condescension, Ning Yuan asked dwarf craftsmen to use hundreds of refined iron to forge a special arrow for the Somersault Cloud Legion.

Compared with ordinary arrows, the arrowheads of this kind of arrows are not that sharp, but their strength is several times stronger than ordinary arrows.

After repeated tests, Ning Yuan discovered that this kind of arrow was extremely destructive, and some ordinary iron-clad shields simply could not withstand the huge impact of this kind of arrow.

As long as the height is high enough, such arrows shot from a strong bow can easily penetrate and shatter ordinary iron-clad shields.

Because of its extremely strong shield-breaking ability, Ning Yuan gave it a domineering name - Shield-Breaking Arrow.

Under the condescending and powerful penetration of the shield-breaking arrow, the light armor worn by the defenders of Koksu Fortress was like paper, unable to protect their lives at all.

Wherever the arrows hit, the soldiers who had no time to escape would fall down one after another like leeks being cut.

As the Somersault Cloud Legion continued to move forward, soon no more standing defenders could be seen on the entire east wall.

"Ladder Legion, build the ladder and start attacking the city."

Seeing that there were no more living defenders on the city wall, James, who was responsible for commanding the battle, immediately ordered the army to begin siege.

As James' order was conveyed to the ground, the angel warriors staying five hundred meters away from the fortress opened their backpacks and took out their own somersault clouds.

When thousands of angel warriors drove their somersault clouds to hover at a fixed height, a white ladder leading directly to the city's head soon appeared outside the east city wall.

"Siege the city."

After seeing that the ladder to the top of the city had been built, the bear walker holding the crescent shovel and the tiger warrior holding the magic weapon immediately rushed to the top of the city on the ladder built by somersault clouds.

When the entire east city wall was filled with bear walkers and tiger warriors, the somersault cloud army in the sky immediately stopped long-range attacks.

Under James's order, they floated directly over the Koksu Fortress, and then floated straight towards the Alai Valley.

Seeing that those somersault clouds capable of launching terrifying arrow rain had floated over their heads, some of the defenders who had hid in the house immediately rushed out of the house. After a short formation, they immediately headed towards the east city wall. The orc warriors rushed over.

Before anyone arrived, a hail of arrows had already arrived first.

Facing the rain of arrows shot from under the city wall, the bear walkers and tiger warriors on the wall did not panic at all. They protected their heads with their left hands while killing along the horse path.

The one who rushed to the front was the tiger man holding a magic weapon.

After protecting their heads with their arms, all the arrows shot at them were bounced away as if they had encountered a protective shield.

After withstanding the rain of arrows, the tiger warriors soon collided with the defenders who were trying to retake the city wall.

When we meet on a narrow road, the brave one wins.

As the mace continued to be waved, the defenders who tried to retake the city wall were immediately killed and turned upside down. No one could withstand the direct blow of the mace.

The mace is shaped like a hard whip, shaped like a bamboo root knot. The mace has no point at the end. It cannot be used freely by those who are not strong. The lethality is very considerable. It can crush people to death even through armor.

The magic mace in the hands of the Tiger Warrior is one meter long and weighs 20 kilograms. Although it has no edge, with the blessing of the Tiger Warrior's huge power, it is enough to break rocks and crack armor.

The Robe of Faith allows the Tiger Warrior to ignore the enemy's long-range attacks, and the Magic Mace allows the Tiger Warrior to ignore the enemy's armor.

Tiger warriors are good at close combat. With the blessing of faith robes and magic weapons, their close combat ability is even more powerful.

In addition, they were followed by a group of bear walkers holding crescent shovels, a group of perverts with even more destructive power. If they wanted to stop them, it would definitely be impossible for the defenders in the fortress alone.

So as more and more tiger warriors and bear walkers entered the fortress, those fortress defenders who still wanted to resist were immediately killed and routed.
