Evolve bloodline from golden dragon

Chapter 135
Molten Hammer City deserves to be the main city that the dwarves are proud of. The height of the city is nearly 25 meters, which is very exaggerated.

Here I have to talk about the difference between a castle and a city. The difference between the two is not only reflected in the size of the range, but also the height of the city wall cannot be generalized.

The shape of the castle is relatively small, and the city wall and the building are integrated, that is to say, the walls of the houses are also the walls of the city, so they can be built very high.According to Rothschild's world mainstream level, the slightly better ones are 50 to [-] meters high.

The city is different from the castle. The city wall exists independently and has a large range, so it will not be too high.It would be great if the walls of a city could be built up to 15 meters.

And Melting Hammer City is undoubtedly a city, otherwise it would not be able to accommodate the current 3 dwarves who used to be more than 5.And when it was first built, the dwarves had already reserved space for the future population, so the Melting Hammer City could accommodate at least [-] people without any pressure without being crowded.

Under such circumstances, the walls of Molten Hammer City are actually 25 meters high...

"You really put in a lot of effort to build this city." Walker looked at the battle ahead, turned his head and said to Thoradin.

However, he immediately realized that it might not be good to boast about the City of Molten Hammer in front of Thoradin, so he quickly made amends: "Sorry, just pretend I didn't say anything."

"It's okay." Thoradin shook his head.

He has long passed the period when he would get excited when he mentions Molten Hammer City, but now he is only disappointed with this former hometown.

"The master has already sent those giant beasts that drilled into the field, so they should be able to take them down soon, right?" Walker asked.

"It's hard to say." Thoradin shook his head.

Regarding this point, everyone has discussed it before, but the specifics are still unknown.

The rumbling sound of excavation came from below the battlefield, advancing all the way to the city of Melting Hammer.As imagined, the collapse of the city wall did not occur.

"The foundation of Molten Hammer City is very solid. Most of the entire city is built on top of rock mass. It is not easy to break through by digging tunnels." Thoradin said.

The shark lizard digs quickly, but he doesn't know how fast it hits the stones—but it's clear now.

"It seems that the plan to destroy the city wall with the shark lizard beast cannot be realized in a short time." Theos frowned.

But he doesn't intend to change the plan, let's go slower, once it succeeds, it will get twice the result with half the effort.

As time passed, Osfer's attack continued from dawn to dusk before stopping.

Throughout the day, the two sides kept using trebuchets to shoot at each other.

"Master, the bedrock under the city seems to be very solid. With the speed of the shark and lizard beast, it may take more than ten days to get through." Valkhui reported.

Theos nodded and gave instructions: "You can try to attack the city tomorrow."

"Is the Griffin Knight's equipment ready?"

"It has been fully prepared, and we can go into battle tomorrow to capture the dwarf hill next to the city wall." Valker vowed.

After a night of silence, the refurbished Osfil Army once again challenged the main city that had ruled the mountains for 100 years.

When the morning just arrived, the distant sun shone on the overlapping mountain peaks, leaving an irregular shadow in the valley.

In a special camp of the Osfil Army, nearly [-] Griffin Riders were checking their equipment.

After the official siege, they received an order for all to assemble.The task of reconnaissance and patrol that was originally in charge was handed over to Harpy.

Today they have a heavy task. The Griffin Riders will take down the short hills beside Molten Hammer City to open up positions for the special attack troops.

The height of the low mountain was even slightly higher than the city wall, and the surroundings were steep, and the dwarves had to build steps to go up, while others could not move to the top of the mountain from a slope of almost [-] or [-] degrees.

Fryer is the captain of the current Griffin Knights, and he is also the most skilled knight, although from the outside he looks like an ordinary green-scaled lizardman.

Who would have thought that a species that is a close relative of reptiles could one day fly into the sky?

In the shadows below, Fryer went through all the equipment one by one.

According to the configuration of the logistics department, all Griffin Knights only wear half-body light armor to protect their vital parts.Griffons have saddles made of leather.In addition, each knight is also equipped with a bow and a sword, two bags of arrows, and three spears.

Six hundred griffin knights were led by six centurions. After a while, Fryer introduced their report, and all the knights were ready.

Fryer nodded, put on the helmet, and fastened it with a leather cord.He touched the head of his griffon partner, and it was still so soft.

The griffin lay prone on the ground so that Fryer could ride on it.

"set off!"

With an order, the six hundred griffins spread out on the ground began to flap their wings continuously under the order of the knights, and they took off into the air in batches of hundreds of people.

After arriving in the sky, they maintained the same height according to the training norms, and dispersed into smaller teams.

The smallest command unit is five people, flying in the shape of a wild goose.

Fryer took the lead and was the first team of the first batch. After a while, they were close to the target area.

Looking down from the sky, the top of the mountain is about a few thousand square meters in size. A sentry post was simply built, and it is estimated that there are no more than a dozen people on weekdays.

But right now, in order to deal with Osfer's attack, this place has been urgently strengthened, and at least about [-] dwarves are stationed here.

Once the people below start to attack the city, these dwarves can calmly use crossbow arrows to shoot down with their companions on the city wall.If part of the city wall is lost, they can also start from here and easily regain it.

"It's a griffin!"

Fryer saw the dwarves, and naturally the dwarves below also spotted them, they all screamed and blew their warning horns.

They were equipped with crossbow bolts, and they shot into the sky one after another, but the Griffin Riders pulled the height so high that these crossbow bolts could not hurt them at all.

"Try to attack with a bow and arrow first." Fryer ordered.

Although Osfil has installed many crossbows, the long-range shooting weapons of the Griffin Knights are bows and arrows, which is the result of careful consideration.

The crossbow has many advantages, such as long range, great power, and does not require too much training.But the disadvantage is also obvious, that is, the rate of fire is slow.

At the same time, a skilled archer can shoot three to four times as many arrows as a crossbowman.And there is no doubt that soldiers who can become Griffin Riders have a considerable level of shooting skills.

Whether flying low to strike the ground, or engaging the same flying enemies in the sky, the bow and arrow will never become obsolete.

After receiving the order, the Griffin Knights of the first team drew their bows one after another, trying to shoot at the dwarves below.

The bows they use are not small in weight, and they are condescending, so the power of the arrows has not weakened.

However, after a few arrows were shot, it seemed that nothing had been achieved.

The dwarves' crossbow bolts can't pose a threat to them, but relatively, they can't shoot the dwarves either.

After thinking about it, Fryer temporarily gave up the idea of ​​shooting with a bow and arrow.To achieve the effect, I am afraid that it can only be effective if all the knights shoot together, but it is difficult to spread in such a large place.

"Still according to the reservation plan!"

Hearing the order, everyone including Fryer put away their bows and arrows, and took down their headguns from the side.

There were only five people, and there was no need to shout any more passwords. They clenched their throwing guns, took aim and threw them down.

Although the distance is a bit far, they just need to throw the gun over the hill.

The short spear, which was only about one meter long, fell from the sky, and when it hit the ground, it exploded suddenly, arousing a strong fire element.

"boom!"

Although there are only five roots, some dwarves are unfortunately affected.

The bow and arrow trial shot just a dozen arrows, and they ended before they even had time to draw out their shields. No one was injured, so they were careless.

That's right, this throwing gun is exactly the explosive magic gun that appeared when the griffins attacked Osfil City, and it was the modified version used by Fryer and others.

"Use all the throwing guns," Fryer ordered.

"Boom!" "Boom!" "Boom!"

The five people threw away a total of fifteen spears, and the dwarves below picked up their shields to resist, but it was not easy to use.The fire elemental energy that exploded caused them to suffer scorching damage.

However, this is just the beginning.

After the first team finished shooting, the second team continued to shoot. At most, there would be three teams of 15 people attacking downward together.

As for such a team, Osfil dispatched 120 teams.In just one round, nearly [-] throwing guns would bombard the hill.

For a moment, there was a strange contrast on the battlefield.The wide battlefield of the main city wall has not yet started, but it seems that fireworks have been set off on the hills here.

And Osfil obviously wouldn't let his companions fight alone.

"Attack!" Walker issued an order to the siege troops.

The horn that represented the attack was blown, and at the same time, about thirty siege vehicles began to slowly move towards Melting Hammer City.

The building car built by Osfil is similar to the city wall, but it is slightly shorter, only 22 meters high.

It's not that Valcke doesn't want to build taller, but it's not easy to build a 22-meter-high building in a short period of time.It's just that, after getting close to the city wall, the soldiers of the Osfer army still need to put up boards of at least three meters before they can climb the city.

Don't ask why the difference is exactly three meters, but the nearby trees are not too tall.

In the continuous sound of horns, twenty or thirty building cars kept moving forward.

Each building car can hold about a hundred people, and moving them requires hundreds of workers.In this regard, Valk also recruited those halflings to do it.

After all, it's not to let them directly confront the dwarves, but to ask them to pull the cart and push the cart. There are still many halflings willing to contribute.

In order to ensure their safety, Osfil also provided them with some armor.Goblins were about the same size as them, which was fine.

Gray also had to join without a doubt, and he even forgot what he thought when he applied.

But right now he has no time to think about it, all he can think about is pushing the cart.

Officer Osfer, who commanded the siege, followed the building car. There were not only halflings on the ground, but also Osfer soldiers. Board the car and attack the city.

Geum gritted his teeth and pushed the thick wooden pole in front of him with all his strength.

How could the dwarves at the top of the city let these buildings approach, they kept bombarding these big guys with catapults, and shot downwards with crossbow arrows.

For a moment, the dense rain of arrows slanted downward.And the Osfil soldiers on the building car also responded.

The catapult machine is relatively bulky, and it is actually quite difficult to aim.The building cars were moving again, except for a few that were hit and destroyed by foot, the others were still advancing in an orderly manner.

What really threatened the soldiers on the building car was actually the giant crossbow of the dwarves.

These giant crossbows built on the top of the city are much more flexible than trebuchets, and can shoot at buildings after a short adjustment.For a while, many soldiers were hit by giant crossbow arrows and fell down, some even pierced two and three.

Whoosh whoosh!
Arrows kept falling around Gem, and most of them were inserted into the ground, and the arrow feathers trembled, which made people frightened.And the Osfer warriors with shields on their sides, and occasionally those who were unfortunately shot by arrows, fell down with a muffled grunt.

He knew that the officer Clay who brought him was on top of the building car he was driving, so it must be much more dangerous there, right?

But after a while, he didn't even have the time to think about it, because as the building truck got closer to the city wall, his own casualties began to increase.

He, who had been pushing the cart with his head buried, looked up and saw that the city wall was so close!

Before he could be overjoyed, an arrow with swaying tail feathers brushed against the edge of the shield of the kobold soldier in front and shot over.

With a sound of "Puff", Geum only felt a pain in his knee, lost all strength in his whole leg, and fell down involuntarily...

What am I doing?he thinks.

In the car, Clay was also hiding behind the goblin bear holding a heavy tower shield, preparing to ascend the city.

"Boom!"

The building car finally leaned against the city wall, and the soldiers of more than ten meters pushed up the half-ladder and half-plank-like thing and put it on the top of the city.

"Go to town!" Clay yelled.

They had to get onto the board as quickly as possible before the dwarves pushed them away.

Before the words fell, he took the lead, stepped on the board and rushed upwards.On the way, he took out a round object, pulled the ring, and threw it towards the top of the city.

"Oh!"

A burst of explosion sounded, and the dwarves who had gathered slightly turned upside down.

This is a gadget popular among human adventurers, usually used against beasts.Under the improvement of Rennes and Bratt, it was mass-produced by Osfil.

It can only be said that Theos hired them and indeed dug up a lot of things.Of course, the most important thing is that they don't fill a lot of Osfil's knowledge base.

I don't know what happened to those few of them?Theos thought while observing the battlefield.

In the sky and on the ground, two battlefields are engaged in fierce confrontation at the same time.

The full-scale attack on the city wall is to contain the dwarven defenders and prevent the dwarves on the nearby dwarf hills from receiving continuous support.

The attack on the dwarf mountain is also to facilitate the attack on the city wall.

As time went by, the wounded continued to be dragged back from the battlefield, some were saved, and some died.

Even the griffins who were only bombing one-sidedly were even a little tired. The knights simply took out some pieces of meat for them to eat, and then threw their guns into the air again.

Theos had no intention of making a move.

Some things are easy for him to do, but that's not what he does.

He was waiting for the two in the city.

"Who will be impatient first?" Theos thought to himself.
