Evolve bloodline from golden dragon

Chapter 134 Siege
Melting Hammer City is the city of the dwarves.

Although one branch of the dwarves—the hill dwarves had already left the Xilan Mountains and scattered into the entire world of Rothschild.But there is no doubt that there is only one main city that truly belongs to the dwarves, and that is Melting Hammer City.

This city built on the Copper Mountains is the brainchild of countless mountain dwarves.Rich mineral deposits make Molten Hammer City very rich, and the wealth of dwarves in gold and silver is beyond the imagination of most human kingdoms.

Of course, at the level of the ten kings, the so-called gold and silver are actually not so precious, because this is not the only means of measuring wealth.

Crop yield, population, force level, civilization level and even racial advantage are the essence of wealth.

But there is no doubt that the dwarves of Molten Hammer City have really taken care of this piece of metal.

The only concern of the dwarves with their golden mountains is their numbers.Although they settled down, the long war with the orcs and the exodus of many branches made the number of dwarves in Molten Hammer City not much.

As a result, their control over the Xilan Mountains is actually not as strong as other countries in Rothschild.

After years of struggle, they finally cleared most of the insecure factors in the south, and supported halflings who are easy to control to take care of the vast land outside Molten Hammer City.

While the mountain north is temporarily out of reach, the exiled fireforged dwarves have assumed this responsibility.

From Wulfgar and Barn's point of view, this is undoubtedly a shrewd plan to kill birds with one stone.

Because it is difficult for the exiled Firecast Dwarves to unify the north with their own strength, everything they do is laying the foundation for the future expansion of Molten Hammer City in the north.

Even if the Fireforged Dwarves intend to rely on the North to fight against the South, Molten Hammer City, which has already controlled the entire South, still has an advantage over the Northern Dwarves in the long run.

But all this was broken by an accident.

Who would have thought that the originally fragmented north would be quickly unified within a few years, and resist the multiple attacks they secretly instigated?
"Those alien races are getting closer and closer. The clansmen at the head of our city reported that they seem to be preparing to camp outside the city." Barn, the patriarch of the Frostbeard clan, was sitting on his chair at the moment, with a very ugly expression on his face.

"Looking at their number, there may be tens of thousands of people. I don't know if those damn ogres have caused them enough trouble."

Wulfgar stroked his needle-like beard, his mentality was more optimistic, and he said with relief: "Don't worry, those ogres are all dispatched, even if we are not easy to deal with, those alien races will naturally have to pay a heavy price. "

According to the two people's initial estimates, Osfil would have to pay at least a thousand people, and if they used their elite to dispatch, at least a thousand people would be killed or injured.

However, if the golden dragon had personally dispatched... perhaps they would have lost fewer people.

But Wulfgar didn't think the dragon would make trouble for itself, even though it was a golden dragon.

In fact, they did not guess wrong, Theos did not make a move.

"Have the three Dragon Slayer Crossbows been installed?" Wulfgar asked.

"It's all installed. I asked the clansmen to place them on the three towers, so they can't be seen from the outside." Bain nodded.

"That's good, this is the surprise we prepared for the dragon, don't waste it on those birds."

As Osfil's army approached, the detection range of Harpies and Griffin Riders also began to approach Molten Hammer City.

However, the Melting Hammer City itself has installed a lot of giant crossbows, so it is still possible to guard against these controlled investigations.

"Let the clansmen strengthen their defenses. With Molten Hammer City, the warriors of Frostbeard and Warhammer will surely be able to defend the glory of the dwarves."

"I just hope that the giant dragon will come sooner, so that the war can end sooner."

Speaking of this, Wulfgar's brow showed a trace of worry.

The number of dwarves is not large. After the thousands of Firecast clans were separated, the remaining two clans add up to only about [-].

Therefore, in their hearts, this war must not only be won, but also not cause too many casualties.In any case, it cannot develop into a bloody battle in the end.

"It doesn't matter, if the golden dragon doesn't make a move, we two will just force him out!" Bain was very confident.

"That's true." Wulfgar smiled.

With the Dragon Slayer Crossbow, as long as the two of them lure Theos, they will basically not lose, and there will be no great danger.

Moreover, as long as this battle is won, there is a high probability that Melting Hammer City can directly receive the north, or at least swallow a large piece of it.

In this way, even if there are some losses, the two can accept it.

While the two dwarf patriarchs were thinking about how to reduce losses, outside the city of Melting Hammer, Osfil's army was also carrying out their work in an orderly manner.

That's right, work.

After clearing the obstacles along the way and arriving at the city of Melting Hammer, Varga did not rush to launch an attack, and the entire Osfil army showed a sense of calmness.

On a short hill close to Meltinghammer City, generals such as Varga, Thoradin, and Duyin were observing the main city of dwarves with binoculars.

Molten Hammer City is very majestic, as if the whole city is inlaid in the copper mountain range.Its shape is not much different from the castle of the human kingdom as a whole, but the city wall is thicker, and there are many towers built on it, so that soldiers can easily see everything below the city.

Valk didn't care about that.Just look at it, there is no shortcut in this siege battle, even if he sees the arrangement, it doesn't matter.

"Has the offensive breakthrough of the special attack battalion been arranged?" Walker asked Duyin beside him.

"Choose it there." Duyin pointed out with his hand.

Walker looked in the direction, and found that it was a hill next to Molten Hammer City. If that hill was taken down, the Osfil Army would be able to dominate, or at least wipe out the opponent's height advantage.

"It's a good choice." Walker put down the binoculars and affirmed.

Unsurprisingly, the special attack battalion was led by Woz. Although most of the time he was weak, but when it came to fighting, Walker still recognized him.

"I guess there should be dwarf traitors stationed above. Before the siege begins, ask the Griffin Knight to grab it first!"

"Yes!" Erso nodded, and called the adjutant next to him to arrange the order.

Several people just stood here to observe the situation and adjust the combat deployment.And far below the city, Osfil's army was also not idle.

Since Molten Hammer City has been completely controlled by the Osfil army, or blocked, it is considered safe here.

The army came all the way. Under the leadership of the halfling guides, quite a few halfling tribes who did not have time to go to the north or lived in remote areas and had not heard of it were mobilized here by the army.

The entire offensive position has completely become a large construction site at this time.Tens of thousands of halflings are constantly building siege equipment under the arrangement of the managers in accordance with the requirements of Osfer's army.

The Molten Hammer City is majestic, and if you want to attack the city, you must have large-scale equipment to cooperate.However, the terrain here cannot support the delivery of equipment from the north, so it can only be manufactured on site.

Fortunately, these instruments are very simple, and the main requirement is to be large and strong, so as long as there is enough wood, it is not difficult to manufacture.

According to Valcke's order, the owner must manufacture one hundred siege vehicles and two hundred catapults within fifteen days.

The relevant materials that had been prepared a long time ago were also in place at the first time, so the speed of equipment preparation was not slow.

The halfling Gorm also participated in this big project, but he didn't need to do these coolies.As the original leader of the army, Gorm's job was to convey orders for Osfer's army and coordinate between them and his own people.

Fortunately, Osfil's requirements for halflings are not strict, so Gramm's job is not too difficult.

"Guys, give me some more!" Geum greeted the halflings on the construction site.

At this time, a dozen or so halflings were pulling the rope and trying to hoist a log through the pulley.Under Germ's call, more than a dozen halflings joined in.

"One-two! One-two! Watch out!"

Under neat orders, the halflings successfully pulled up the wood and put it on the half-built building, and the rest was to fix it.

About another hour passed before the work was nearly done.Seeing that the time is almost up, Gem said: "Let's do this in the morning, and do it in the rest of the afternoon. Our progress is pretty fast."

"Let's eat!"

After part-time work, half-length people were all happy, put down their work one after another, and gathered at the dining place in front of the construction site.

"Come one by one, everyone has a share. If there is not enough food, you can add more."

Every halfling lined up to receive a lunch box.

When you open the wooden lunch box, you will be greeted with a scent, and you will see the meat fried with various spices, with vegetables on the side, and a full portion of rice at the bottom.

The halflings had been working hard for a long time, and they were already tired and hungry, so they started to eat in big mouthfuls.

"How is it? Is it okay?" Gemu also carried a lunch box and walked to the fellow.

The fellow countryman nodded, but he didn't care about Gemu and buried himself in cooking.

Most of the spices in these meals they have never tasted in their lives.In the human world where production is relatively developed, only wealthy families can afford it.

It has to be said that Osfil can still treat these temporarily recruited halflings.Not to mention the food, five silver coins will be distributed to each of them after the war.

As for why wait until after the end?
Because the wages of these halflings are still lying in the vault of Melting Hammer City...

Under the separated labor of the halflings, a large number of siege equipment was quickly manufactured, and there were still two days before the deadline.

During this period of time, an increasingly solemn atmosphere of war condensed in this area.The dwarves of Molten Hammer City, who were originally full of confidence, became more and more stressed after watching the city for more than ten days.

The day before the planned siege, Theos came to the front.

"See the master (Lord)!"

As soon as Theos came, the officers and leaders of the various ministries in front came to salute one after another.

His sharp eyes swept across the crowd, and Theos nodded without any nonsense. He just said, "Get ready for war! The cowards hiding in the city have betrayed their compatriots and the Xilan Mountains!"

"Make those dwarven traitors pay!"

"For Osfer, for Xilan Mountain!"

"For Osfer, for Xilan Mountain!"

At dawn the next day, Osfil's attack began.

Except for the 3 kobolds guarding the periphery, the remaining [-] or so siege troops of nearly [-] people are ready.

The first thing to move was the trebuchet that had just been manufactured.

"First test firing, standard stone bullet, let it go!"

As the command flags of the officers waved, more than 200 trebuchets began to show their power.

The purpose of this round is mainly to calibrate and select a suitable target.The weight of the thrown stone bombs is also specially selected.

The stones the size of a human head crossed a parabola, some of them hit the walls of Molten Hammer City, and some of them flew over the top of the city and fell into the inner city.

But in any case, as long as these stones don't hit people, they can only create a tiny gap when they hit the building.Hardly any dwarves were injured.

"Hahaha, can stupid aliens understand this? Let them have a taste of the dwarves' skills!"

The dwarves at the top of the city laughed loudly, and began to command and operate their trebuchets while being contemptuous.

Melting Hammer City is well-defended, with not only a large number of crossbows, but also many trebuchets.

For a while, countless stones flew back and forth above and below the city.But the dwarves seem to have more means. They not only throw stones, but also throw some burning fireballs.

But unexpectedly, the range of the dwarf's trebuchet was a little shorter than that of Osfil's.

Logically speaking, the one with the shorter range should be Osfil's side, because these trebuchets were made on a temporary basis, and the good and the bad were mixed.

"It should be that those catapults have not been used for too long, and the materials are aging." Thoradin told Valker his guess.

Since the city was built, apart from monsters trying to attack Molten Hammer City in the early days, no one dared to touch the turtle shell in the days since then.

"It's better this way, pass on the order to change the kerosene explosive bombs." Walker said.

After the initial test firing, the soldiers operating the catapults at Osfil took out the spherical objects piled up in the nearby cart, tore off the cover, and put them in the launch slot.

"The first round, fifteen throws, kerosene explosive bombs, let them go!"

The soldiers next to him ignited the ball with torches, and then the machine rang, and the burning fireball flew out with a black smoke tail.
"boom!"

The fireball flew to the top of the melting hammer city and exploded suddenly, and countless broken iron pieces and iron sand were burnt red and scattered in all directions.The affected dwarves who were hiding behind the city wall suddenly screamed.

Even though they were fully armed and well-armored, the fine iron sand caused them trouble.

All of a sudden, hundreds of fireballs flew towards the top of the molten hammer city like this, bombarding wildly.

At the same time, Theos also gave orders to his newly captured tool shark.

"Take your people and drill a hole in the ground for the city in front of you!"

"Roar!"

The ferocious shark lizard let out a roar, and led a few ordinary shark lizards into the ground, heading for Melting Hammer City ahead.
