Chapter 61 58: Li Liyuan gets angry (second update)
After engraving the magic circle, Nolen sealed the magic circle base in a black box, took confidentiality measures, and then inserted it back into the structural compartment.
At this point, he has completed the most troublesome step of making the magic weapon, the "marking array". This new city defense magic cannon can theoretically be used on the battlefield.
However, he was not so stunned that he couldn't wait to show off his brand new invention. Instead, he returned to his seat and took a short nap.
If the creation of a new rune system can be explained by the dumb reason of "I am a genius", then the high-level magic circle imprinted at the speed of light is definitely beyond the limit of human ability.
Only the projection ability of the Book of Omniscient Knowledge must not be exposed. He must set aside two or three hours of "drawing time" for himself to let outsiders know that he is at least a human being and not a monster that has become a spirit.
Of course, it only takes two or three hours for one person to draw a complete high-level magic circle. This efficiency is already beyond the reach of contemporary alchemists.
Well, let's leave a trace here for the time being and give them some thoughts of catching up.
Tonight is destined to be a sleepless night.
Slowly, the sky gradually turned white. For those who stayed up all night, today was not a new beginning, but a continuation of yesterday's battle.
This was the most likely time to fall asleep, but the defenders on the city wall were all nervous.
The offensive of the prairie army was very fierce. From the daytime yesterday to the early morning of this morning, they had launched a continuous attack for more than twelve hours.
Their hundreds of long-range ballistas continued to shoot at the city wall, and at the same time, the troops also dispatched dozens of magic chariots to assist in the siege.
The shells of these magic chariots are not only made of alchemical metals, but also have thick armor that can withstand most physical attacks.
The outside is also equipped with the fourth-level defensive spell "Interruption Barrier", which can resist most spell damage.
It still relies on several war horses to drive the vehicle, but the tops and sides of the war horses are equipped with protective plates, and they can also be covered by "blocking barriers", so they will not be easily damaged.
These long-range ballistas and magic chariots are common siege weapons in the Roland Empire. Logically speaking, the Lebus tribe, which has been wandering on the edge of the empire for a long time, does not have the conditions to mass-produce these equipment.
Obviously, there are forces within the empire that have provided them with necessary weapons assistance.
That person, presumably, was the second prince Roderick who would do anything to gain support from other ethnic groups.
With the aid of these weapons, the prairie troops, under the cover of ballistae and magic chariots, withstood the spells and arrow rain on the city wall, and sent the shaman and knight to the bottom of the city wall.
After arriving at the city, they entered their attack range. They either cast spells or used physical siege methods. Various violent attacks destroyed the "sacred barrier" several times, leaving mottled cracks on the city wall.
As long as the magic circle itself within the wall is not destroyed, the "Holy Barrier" can be restarted an unlimited number of times, but there is also a time interval between restarting the magic circle.
Within a few minutes of the restart of the magic circle, it was the grassland people's best chance to break the city.
In order to prevent the unprotected city walls and gates from being destroyed, Linfeng City had to dispatch the knights to fight them head-on. At the same time, several sixth-level mages in the army would take turns casting high-level spells at this time to forcibly hold back the enemy. The pace of the army's advance.
Although the high-level spells cast by the mage can affect the battle situation to a considerable extent, a sixth-level mage will feel tired after casting the sixth-level spell twice at most.
Not only does it require replenishing magic power, but it also consumes a lot of mental power, so it cannot be used lightly and the timing of casting must be carefully grasped.
In contrast, if there were city defense magic cannons, the battle situation would undoubtedly become much easier. After all, they are tireless machines that can continue to pour out firepower during long-term battles, and their durability is higher.
At this time, the crossbows and spell attacks outside the city once again brought the "sacred barrier" on the city wall to the verge of collapse. Ryan stood guard at the top of the city and issued the next order:
"Let the fifth team of the Knights and the eighth team of the legion be ready. Once the "sacred barrier" is destroyed again, let them go out of the city to attack and buy time for the next activation of the magic circle! "
"Yes." The adjutant on the side responded, and then said, "The fifth team went out of the city twice to attack twice yesterday, and the team's casualties have exceeded half. Do you want the remaining members of the ninth team to make up for it? Otherwise, I'm afraid there won't be enough troops. "
"That's it." Ryan nodded.
The window period during which the "Holy Barrier" restarts is when the two armies suffer the highest casualties, and in this short one-day siege, they have already fought around this window period more than a dozen times.
In such a high-intensity battle, even the most elite knights suffered considerable casualties. If they continued to fight at this rate of casualties, the city would be exhausted in a few days.
As for the siege party, the grassland troops suffered fewer casualties than the Linfeng army.
The main reason was that when the grassland people attacked the "sacred barrier", the firepower on the city wall was insufficient and did not deal them a serious blow.
When the two armies briefly engaged in hand-to-hand combat, the average individual quality of the Prairie People's troops was better than that of Linfeng's troops, and the battle losses were recovered in one fell swoop.
After losing those five city defense magic cannons, is it true that the firepower to defend the city is still insufficient...
Ryan frowned. At this moment, he saw a familiar figure leading several followers to escort the cargo box up the city wall.
"Nolen? These are..." He walked over quickly, already having a vague guess in his mind.
"Well, this is the new city defense magic cannon I made."
Nolen ordered his men to open the cargo box and said with a smile, "Fortunately, I fulfilled my mission and made three magic cannons in the morning. It is expected that two more magic cannons will be added by noon." As the cargo box opened, Three two-meter-wide mobile turrets came into view.
Compared with the previous fortress-style city defense guns that were seven or eight meters wide, the fort in front of them, which was only two meters in size, seemed much simpler and simpler...
It's so small, it doesn't have the momentum that a strategic-level magic weapon should have!
Can a city defense magic cannon of this size really activate a high-level spell like "Sky Burning Flame"?
Because it was so different from the previous impression, even Ryan was quietly shaken in his heart after seeing the real thing.
Nolen smiled in his heart and thought that he needed to correct everyone's old concept of "big is good, good is big".
"I came here specially this time to demonstrate to you how to use the new city defense cannon."
He ordered his men to push the mobile fort to the edge of the city wall and fix it, and then pointed the gun barrel at the prairie troops below the city.
At this time, the prairie people's offensive still did not stop. Countless arrows and spells were fired at the city wall, but were blocked by the crumbling "sacred barrier". Looking down on the battlefield from the first perspective on the city wall, it was really an indescribable feeling. A sense of urgency and excitement.
He withdrew his gaze and operated the fort while teaching on the spot.
"Here, this is the sight. Just put the sight on it roughly, then turn on the safety here and press the switch to activate the magic circle -"
When the switch is pressed, the base of the gun mount emits a "buzzing" resonance, and a large red circle quickly forms at the muzzle of the gun.
Feeling the increasingly powerful power condensing at the muzzle next to him, a flash of light suddenly flashed in Ryan's eyes.
There is no mistake, this is the power of high-level spells. The spells carried by this fort are the genuine "Heavenly Burning Flames"!
The next moment, under the shocked eyes of everyone on the city wall, the "Sky Burning Flame" was fully activated, and a huge orange tongue of flame spurted out from the magic circle.
The gushing fire swept across the ground in a fan shape, forming a fire field hundreds of meters around in an instant.
The grassland troops attacking the city below were unable to dodge, and were affected by the flames of the sky burning flames. They rolled to the ground screaming and were burned to charcoal in a short time.
There was also a water shaman accompanying him who tried to extinguish the fire on his body, but how could a sixth-level fire spell be extinguished so easily?Soon he followed in the footsteps of his companions in the fire.
Wherever the flames passed, only those who hid in the magic chariot in advance could use the "blocking barrier" to isolate the flames and survive. After all, "Sky Burning Flame" is not an explosive killing spell and is not designed to kill all targets instantly. .
But this is only temporary. "Interruption Barrier" is only a fourth-level defensive spell and cannot last long.
If you don't leave the burning area as soon as possible, the magic chariot will soon melt into a pool of molten water.
"Woooo-"
The sound of the horn and flute sent a signal to retreat. Under the continuous suppression of the "Sky Burning Flames", the prairie troops in this area left behind charred corpses and retreated in embarrassment with the remaining troops.
"It's actually the "Sky Burning Flame"? "
Not far away, Su Yi, who was commanding the prairie troops, also noticed the strange changes on the battlefield and quickly raised his telescope to look at the city wall.
He wanted to know whether this was cast by the sixth-level fire mage in Linfeng City, or whether it was released by the city defense magic device.
There is an essential difference between the two. There are not many high-level mages on either side, and mages also need time to rest after releasing high-level spells.
But the city defense magic cannon is different. Even if the cooling time is included, its continuous casting frequency is faster than that of the mage.
You must know that it is just an alchemy weapon.
Now that one has appeared, it means that more may appear.
What he observed through the telescope quickly made his heart sink to the bottom.
The worst happened.
Just one day later, the city defenders rebuilt the city defense magic cannon.
According to what he observed, these new city defense cannons were different from the huge fortress-style city defense cannons of the past. They were also greatly reduced in size under the same spell.
Is this a newly developed city defense weapon developed by the Linfeng Army?
And the most important thing is that there are more than one new city defense cannon installed on the city wall at this time.
There are actually three of them that are so powerful...
Second update, there will be another update at [-]pm
