lizard lord

Chapter 161
"String the crossbow! Aim the ballista at the joint of the siege tower! Don't skimp on the ammunition! Shoot freely!"

Standing on the city wall, Bourne yelled hoarsely. At the same time, he put away his battle ax and replaced it with the special rune battle ax that Haiji gave him.

【Are you sure you can handle it? 】

Tang Zhao's eyes were fixed on Bourne, and there was a faint worry in his eyes.

If his body size is not the largest, Tang Zhao will not be able to exert his full strength, and the city wall obviously prevents him from using it, so Tang Zhao will find a good position to attack the hobgoblin formation from the flanks or behind later.

Bourne is responsible for dealing with the hobgoblin's supervisor, and the remaining few have their own tasks. They do not have an advantage in the number of mid-to-high-end combat power. Everyone is under a lot of pressure, and Bourne is the one who is especially big.

"If you are not sure, you must be sure! The situation is very obvious now. Either we cut off the heads of the hobgoblins one by one, or I will go to see the ancestor gods, and you will go to see Sivanus or Bahamut. I haven't lived long enough, so it's better to choose the former."

Bourne's strength is also at the fourth level, and aging does not show much on him. If it is one-on-one, Tang Zhao believes that he can at least hold back the enemy's commander, and there is a high probability that he will gain the upper hand. How many enemies, Bourne can only deal with it by himself.

In just a few words, the goblins had already rushed out of the forest and rushed towards the city wall like a tide. Behind the dense infantry formation were huge siege towers and battering rams. Well-equipped hobgoblin troops surrounded these siege weapons , ready to enter the battlefield after Goblin consumption.

Several stones rose from the forest and smashed towards the city wall with great momentum. At the same time, two huge tree trunks flew out of the city wall, accurately hitting two of the stones, and the two bounced off after colliding. Tree trunks and boulders fell behind the goblin's line, plowing out bloodstains, causing serious casualties to the goblin.

The accuracy of magic is unmatched by ordinary weapons, and this is the only advantage of Tang Zhao and others - they don't have much shortage of mages and druids.

The person who threw the tree trunk was Franz. Just as he guessed, he is not weak. He is a fourth-level mage. Although he is not particularly powerful, he is still an extremely important combat power.

The role of spellcasters at the macro level is far greater than that of fighters, so Bourne did not arrange for him to go to the city wall to fight against other hobgoblin high-level fighters, but to use his own magic to block those trebuchets, so that it would be better for them to misfire .

[If I had known this, I should have detained those human mercenaries in the first place. Even if the city lord and Bok put pressure on me, I would have to do so if the public opinion of Luford was against me. If those people were there, the pressure would be relieved a lot 】

Tang Zhao felt a little regretful, but now is not the time to think about these things.

His body became a little smaller again, and a huge bird of prey grabbed him and flapped its wings into the air.

Flying in the air, Tang Zhao searched for the positions of the trebuchets that fired earlier.It was night now, and he had night vision, but his eyes were incomparable to those of birds. He was a specialized visual predator, possessing some of the best vision in nature.

With the help of several owls, they successfully locked the location of the catapults. This time they did not disperse the catapults, but concentrated them for efficiency.

It may be a trap. After all, this trick has been used before, and the opponent is likely to be on guard.But judging from the current situation, these catapults have caused considerable trouble to the defenders. It is a loss for Franz to use his precious magic power to block the stones thrown by the catapults. Tang Zhao can attack the most valuable targets These are the trebuchets.

After carefully observing the forest environment, Tang Zhao adjusted his mood, signaled the raptor to dive, and dropped him from the air.

The bird of prey understood, swooped down from the air and approached the catapult that was constantly firing, and threw Tang Zhao out at a position of more than ten meters in the air.

His size skyrocketed in the air and quickly returned to his original level.

This bird of prey was undoubtedly an experienced predator, and its placement was very accurate. Tang Zhao, which weighed a ton, was thrown over a trebuchet, directly crushing a target.

Shaking his head, Tang Zhao forcibly ignored the feeling of dizziness, and staggered into another trebuchet beside him.

After all, this is a projectile weapon rather than a car rush, and the hobgoblin's technical level is not that good. He successfully knocked down the trebuchet in front of him.

Ignoring all kinds of weapons coming at him, Tang Zhao locked on to the remaining trebuchets and destroyed them one by one with his own body. His first goal tonight was accomplished.

It went very smoothly, because this trick is really hard to defend against. Even the modern army can hardly stop the bird-sized target anytime and anywhere. As long as the bird successfully throws the "bomb", it only takes a few seconds, and an artillery position will be destroyed. Destroyed by Tang Zhao.

Before they had time to be happy, a large number of fully armed hobgoblins rushed out from all directions, and several of them had a strong aura, and they looked like third-tier fighters.

Maybe he can fight, but Tang Zhao doesn't want to fight with them, there are more valuable targets waiting for him.

Shrinking again, he got into the wreckage of the catapult that was smashed by him, changed colors several times, and under the cover of chaotic goblins and bushes, he rushed out like a gust of wind for a long distance.

It was night now, and the hobgoblins didn't have night vision capabilities, and their dynamic vision was not much better than humans. Once Tang Zhao disappeared from their sight, they would not even think about finding Tang Zhao.

After all, the forest is not a suitable home for their activities, and Tang Zhao is like a fish in water in the forest, it is difficult for these fighters to catch up with him.

After getting out of the warning range of the soldiers, Tang Zhao used all four limbs to climb up a relatively tall tree. After reaching the canopy, the color changed again. The bright bright yellow was very eye-catching in the early spring forest. Spotted him quickly and landed in his place.

The raptors grabbed Tang Zhao and took off. This time they went straight to the battlefield, aiming at the tall siege towers full of soldiers.

It is impossible to break through the city wall with ladders and manpower alone. You have to break through the city gate, or rely on the siege tower to send a large number of soldiers to the city wall. As long as Tang Zhao destroys these key equipment, the opponent's attack will be frustrated, and he has to suspend and wait for a new attack. The siege weapons are in place.

The trained birds of prey followed suit, dropping Tang Chao from the air and hitting one of the siege towers with precision.

Tang Zhao did not return to his maximum size this time, but kept his size to a minimum, to the extent that he could move more conveniently in the slightly narrow siege tower.

Slamming on a hobgoblin, he ignored the pained opponent, jumped off the opponent's back, jumped onto the other hobgoblin, and moved again before the opponent could react.

The situation inside the siege tower is reminiscent of canned sardines. There are so many people that there is almost no room to turn around, let alone swing a weapon. Tang Zhao landed from the top of the tower and entered the tower without any danger.

The thickness of his scales, or the defense ability, is directly proportional to his body size. When he is small in size, he may be seriously injured or even fatal if he gets stabbed unfortunately.

It was also fortunate that the hobgoblins hadn't reacted. It was difficult for the brains of ordinary creatures to associate a lizard falling from the sky with a "dangerous enemy". Their thinking gave Tang Zhao a chance to act.

After entering the tower, his body swelled rapidly. The narrow siege tower couldn't hold him at all. The wooden tower was not very strong. He was also pushed off the top of the tower.

After the top structure was reimbursed, the tower was abandoned.

Standing in the middle of the enemy army, the large size is too conspicuous, and it is easy to be besieged. Tang Zhao casually slapped a few hobgoblins who were trying to attack him, their claws embedded in the siege tower below him, jumped down from the top, and fell During the process, he shrunk rapidly, and he returned to the smallest size before landing.

Small size also has advantages in action. The situation on the battlefield is chaotic. He meanders through the formation of hobgoblins, and it is difficult for the enemy to locate and attack him.

A few high-ranking hobgoblin fighters must have received some orders, and they have been chasing after him, but due to the crowd and chaos, the other party's pursuit has no effect, so Tang Zhao Successfully went far.

Locate another tall siege tower. This time Tang Zhao jumped onto the outer layer of the tower. The outer layer of the siege tower was wrapped with several layers of bark for protection. This is a very suitable material for climbing. He nimbly climbed to the third floor as if walking on the ground on the slope.

The body size became bigger accordingly, Tang Zhao used his powerful claws to peel off the bark protective layer, drilled into the siege tower along the gap, and then did the same thing, increasing the size of the siege tower, pushing the siege tower from the middle Cracked, the tower is abolished, and loses its effect.

After reimbursement for the second siege tower, Tang Zhao looked around and saw that the number of Tier [-] hobgoblin fighters chasing him was rapidly increasing, and the surroundings of the other siege towers were obviously more defensive. Dangerous.

[The progress is going smoothly, now it's time to stop. 】

He was now on the open ground between the forest and the city wall, and the birds of prey couldn't get close, so he had to retreat on his own.

Fortunately, Bourne and the others on the city wall have been observing the situation on the ground. They are obviously supporting Tang Zhao, and the artillery fire of ballistas and trebuchets is concentrated near the position where he appears every time.

Of course, there is a risk of hitting friendly troops, but Tang Zhao's size is very small, and the probability of hitting is very low. It is completely a gamble. The most important thing is to hinder the speed of chasing troops.

The body shrunk again, and Tang Zhao took advantage of the chaotic flow of people to shuttle through the formation of hobgoblins at high speed.

In less than 2 minutes, he passed through the formation of hobgoblins and came into an even more chaotic formation of goblins.

At first, Tang Zhao wanted to get back into shape and made a fuss among the goblins, but he quickly suppressed this urge.

Because his weight is less than two tons, which is still too light. Three or five people can't affect his activities. It's different if there are thirty or fifty people. It's very dangerous to be surrounded.

Of course, this is the case, and he didn't forget to "put a cold shot" on the goblins. From time to time, he would change to a size of more than two meters, cut the throat of a hapless goblin, and escaped before his companions could react.

At a distance of less than [-] meters, Tang Zhao killed thirty or forty goblins at least, which is not too many, but Tang Zhao attached great importance to the accumulation of little things.

After coming under the city wall, Tang Zhao entered the inside of the city wall through the water gate.There was a small hole in the hidden position of the door, which was specially used for him. After he entered the city wall, the lizardman who was guarding the water gate closed the small door.

It took three to two minutes to adjust his breathing. The amount of exercise tonight was a lot for Tang Zhao. His combat effectiveness had already begun to decline, but it was not particularly serious, and it was barely acceptable.

Leaving from the water gate, the first enemy Tang Zhao went to was not the city wall, but the city gate.

The hobgoblin's charging car has now driven under the city wall and is hitting the city gate. The low and penetrating sound of the city gate is also very obvious on the noisy battlefield.

At the gate of the city, Lilith is in charge of guarding the gate. She is now using her plant magic to strengthen the gate.A large number of plant roots grew out of the ground, almost completely blocking the city gate.

【how is the situation? 】

"It's not bad." Because of casting too many spells, Lilith's tone was a little tired, "The city gate is very strong, the metal and wood used are the best, and it has been reinforced with magic. The battering ram can't break through it in a short time. of."

In addition to Lilith, there are many Lizardmen soldiers on standby.

They are equipped with iron guns, round shields and a small amount of armor. They are the most powerful warriors in the lizard tribe. They give priority to equipping weapons, enjoy the most delicious food, and also fight on the front line, facing the biggest challenge. Danger.

Besides them, the three living treasure-like trolls were also near the city gate. Together with other lizardmen warriors, they were holding the city gate tightly to prevent the city gate from loosening.

In fact, Tang Zhao has never been clear about whether this kind of effort will have any effect when the city gate has been nailed to death with various brackets and trees, but judging by the way they are panting heavily, it should still have some effect.

Before Tang Zhao left the city gate, there was a dazzling blue light from the city wall, and then there was the sound of thunder that could be clearly heard by everyone on the battlefield. The landing seemed to be right on the city wall. A sense of weightlessness made them a little unsteady.

Tang Zhao was the first group of people to react. He quickly used his spiritual power to help stabilize everyone present, and then rushed towards the city wall.

It only took a few seconds to climb up the city wall, and Tang Zhao couldn't react to the scene in front of him.

Bourne was holding his tomahawk, panting heavily. Behind him were warriors of all races who hadn't recovered from their senses, and in front of him were a large number of corpses.

They were all scorched by electric shocks, and their human shapes could hardly be seen. They could barely be recognized, and there were people of all races.

And in the center of the lightning strike was the corpse of a hobgoblin in gorgeous armor.

Tang Zhao was not an idiot either. After thinking for a few seconds, he came to a conclusion—it seemed that Bourne had won. He killed a senior hobgoblin soldier, and he was probably the commander.
