On the Seven Towers

Alano Town is no longer the small town on the hillside that it once was. After several years of construction, it has become the most important military and industrial center in the southern part of the territory. The city spreads from the old city on the hillside to the surrounding mountains. The wide city wall surrounds the city, forming an oval-shaped behemoth.

Under the shield, there are a series of factories and military camps in the city, as well as towering turrets, which form an angle with the pneumatic cannons arranged on the city wall, blocking all directions outside the city.

Alano's shield is a one-way shield that follows the Seven Towers technology. Simply put, external attacks can be blocked, but internal attacks can be shot out.

This huge egg-shaped shield is inspired by more than thirty nodes located under the city wall.

Repairs to shields can be carried out within the walls by engineering mages. However, the work of defending the breach must be outside the city wall, otherwise with the power of those saints, the city wall may be broken with just one blow.

Chen Hansheng had another job, and Wang Jiyuan personally led the elites of four mage classes and a melee group to accompany the three saints to the location that needed repairs.

Mo Yu looked outside the city and saw that this was indeed the focus of the siege. The enemy deployed a large number of siege formations on the slope in the distance. Under the control of those holy mages, the fireball hit Alano's shield across a distance of several hundred meters. The counterattack from Alano's side was equally massive, with about eighty pneumatic cannons pouring shells into the opponent's position. The people on the other side also prepared shields. The opened shields resisted the explosion, but they remained strong.

Lorenzo saw such a scene for the first time and said: "The momentum of such back and forth bombardment is amazing, but it is a bit monotonous and does not require any tactics at all."

Wang Jiyuan said: "No, this is tactical. We have been playing the trick of chasing and escaping for two days."

"One chase and one escape?"

"They set up a position to attack. We mobilized pneumatic cannons to destroy the position." Wang Jiyuan held the battlements with his hands. "Now is the time for us to conduct a concentrated counterattack. We use a large number of magic-breaking bullets. Generally, their shields cannot last long. In time, the opponent's siege position will be destroyed by us, but it is difficult for such a bombardment to kill the flexible saint. They will immediately establish a position in a new place and launch an attack on us. The cannon transfer is not as fast as theirs, this is what I call chasing and escaping.”

"What's the point?" Lorenzo asked again.

"Our cannons are in place, and there will always be a long period of time before we launch a counterattack. At this time, it is particularly easy for the shield generating device to overload and cause damage. They hope to eventually destroy the shield in this way. Now the shield However, once the shield is broken and they rush in, we will have no power to deal with the saints in street battles."

Lorenzo said: "I always feel that their saints have a lot of power that they have not used. Their methods should be much more than this kind of confrontation. Isn't it possible that the other side's saints use their own spells or fighting spirit fields to attack us? ”

Wang Jiyuan said: "Of course, at the beginning of the battle the day before yesterday, some people wanted to use large-scale illusions to confuse our guard soldiers. There were also enemy warrior saints who used unique skills to attack a certain point of the shield and wanted to force their way in. But They are not for nothing.”

Lorenzo followed Wang Jiyuan's fingers and found that there were many warriors holding a new type of super-long air rifle, working in pairs, guarding the city walls or towers. He felt that the long guns with telescopes were a bit like sniper rifles, but these guns were much larger than the sniper rifles he had ever seen.

Wang Jiyuan said: "These snipers are the most elite warriors selected by our guard army. They are all at least mid-level in strength. They are all blessed with a series of precision techniques, motion vision techniques, acceleration techniques, perception techniques, etc." They call these magics related to the use of firearms sniper packages. They are particularly good at hitting high-speed moving targets. Even warrior saints may be hit by them.

Their gun is a newly developed electromagnetic pneumatic gun called the Hunter Saint Type 1, which uses a coil to accelerate the fired bullets. Its special bullets are also powerful magic-breaking bullets designed for master-level and above experts.

Although it can knock out an ultra-high-quality magic crystal with one shot, and damage the barrel with three or four shots, and the cost of one shot is several times that of a pneumatic cannon shell, it can indeed kill the Saint by accumulating shots. who.

On the first day, a warrior and a mage died in the Divine City under such a gun. Although it is difficult for us to destroy their souls in that case, they may have returned to the Divine City to resurrect, but it also curbed the Holy City's holy spirit. The person can appear in front of us with great arrogance. "

"How many shots did it take to kill that warrior saint?"

Wang Jiyuan frowned slightly and said: "More than two hundred shots, most of them were empty. At that time, they appeared five saints to attack our shield together. Our hundreds of sniper teams fired nearly a thousand rounds of bullets, and they were scrapped." It took more than 200 barrels to achieve such a result. If this happens again, I am afraid our gunners will not have so many barrels to use. "

"So, the enemy only dares to use this long-distance attack method because he doesn't know our attrition situation?"

"Yes. That's why you saints need to come here to take care of the replacement of spare parts of the shield. Otherwise, if there are enough spare parts, such a gun array will have enough defense."

Mo Yu asked: "How long will it take to replace the components of the magic circle above?"

A middle-aged man in work clothes beside Wang Jiyuan said: "According to the current situation, it will take more than half an hour. However, it does not mean that there will be no shield at that time, but that the shield in this area will become very thin. If the enemy does not attack this side and does not discover this change, there may not be a battle. We are just preparing for the worst case scenario."

Lorenzo shook his head and said: "As long as the opponent has a saint who is good at perception and understands the formation, the weakening of the shield cannot be concealed. Let's make plans based on fighting for more than half an hour."

Lorenzo had a basis for saying this. At this time, he could clearly feel that the shield of the opponent's position began to crumble. Sure enough, two minutes later, a shell pierced the opponent's shield and fell into the enemy's position. Then, the fire filled the entire shield and tore it apart from the inside. Lorenzo also vaguely heard the sound of explosion and screams, and then there were no more huge fireballs shot out of that position, and it slowly calmed down.
