On the Seven Towers

The six mage classes were divided into two groups, taking turns to shine their scatter rays on the shield on the west side. The three scatter rays were arranged in a finished shape, trying to cover a larger area.

Then the twelve 120mm pneumatic cannons equipped with shield-breaking shells began to fire in unison. They were not fired with gunpowder. The artillery positions here were much quieter than that world. There was no flame spray from the muzzle of the cannon. The God of War seemed to lack a bit of momentum, but when the shells fell, the effect was quite shocking.

Accompanied by a deafening explosion, the shells exploded on the shield with dazzling sparks, covering the entire west shield, as if the shield was burning. After the flames went out, a clear gap appeared on the shield. The gap was about the size of a basketball court, roughly circular, and uneven around. However, the position just exposed the west city gate behind the gap.

Then the remaining twenty-two 80mm pneumatic cannons and more than a hundred mortars began to fire ordinary shells. Many shells that did not hit the gap still hit the surrounding shields, but at least half of the shells shot into the shield from this gap. In the first round, dozens of shells poured onto the tower of the west gate.

The tower was covered with smoke and fire in an instant. Even if the bricks of the tower were reinforced by magic, they could not withstand such ravages of shells. After the first round of shelling, a corner of the tower collapsed, and the battlements on it were almost all flattened. And the soldiers standing on the city defense turned into ashes in the first time. There was originally a black guard team on the tower, with two mid-level knights and a mid-level mage observing the enemy situation. But under the coverage of artillery fire, they had no chance to escape. Even the ice shield cast by the mage only blocked two shells, and was blown into pieces with the shield.

After two rounds of shelling, the shield in the sky seemed to have recovered a little, so the artillery commander replaced the twelve 80mm pneumatic cannons with shield-breaking shells. Blow up a gap again, and let the more powerful twelve 120mm cannons participate in the bombardment of the city wall.

After fifteen rounds of artillery fire, the west gate was completely reduced to rubble, and the rubble piled up into a small slope, and the surrounding city walls were also shaken down in several places. The enemies on the entire west wall had already hidden far away, and there was no one on the wall that had not collapsed. From this side, Suero looked like an abandoned empty city.

Some of the fallen rubble was directly piled up on the slope into the city, and it was difficult for carriages and horses to enter and exit this opening. Some shells also went into the back of the city wall because of the angle problem. The flames caused by the explosion ignited more than a dozen houses, and wisps of black smoke rose from behind the city wall, making Suero really taste the breath of the coming war.

Wang Jiyuan watched the shield gradually recover to its original state after the bombardment stopped, and said to Gabriel: "The shield recovered too quickly, and the gap lasted too short. We can destroy the tower, but it's too late for the infantry to enter the city."

Gabriel said: "With our current strength, we can only do this. If we change the attack point, we can continue to destroy the buildings in the city."

Wang Jiyuan said: "Are you saying that by destroying the enemy's city step by step, we can destroy their will?"

"That's right. If the city defense barrier cannot be destroyed for a long time, then this is the only way."

"If that's the case, all I get is a ruin. I'd better look forward to what Xiao Chen can do." Wang Jiyuan said to the communicator beside him: "Give the order to let the artillery battalion and the mage squad rest and meditate for half an hour, and other units should pay attention to defend against the enemy's counterattack."

——————————————————

Xiao Chen hid in a corner and set up several ice shields on his body. Although this place has not been covered by artillery fire, a house not far away has been hit by shells and billowing smoke. He had just seen the destruction of the tower at the west gate from afar, and knew that even if he was a high-level wizard, he would not be able to survive if he was under such artillery fire.

The most powerful power of mankind is to create and use tools with wisdom. No matter how powerful a person's magic and martial arts are, it is impossible to be stronger than putting them into research and then using these powers on a large scale and in an organized manner. No matter how high the realm of multiple individuals is, they are still weak in front of a group that can use similar powers. Just like the magic used in these artillery, it is only a low-level level, and the soldiers who operate them have no magical ability at all. But facing them, Xiao Chen cannot compete head-on. He even believes that even if he is facing a god, mankind's first chance of victory is here.

He shouted to the people below: "Wang Jiyuan has started the fight. How are you guys doing down there?"

Tasya said: "We have destroyed the key points of two magic arrays. But the light column still hasn't weakened significantly. I hope this time it's useful."

She glanced at Xiaobai, who was coiled in the array and looked a little listless, and said: "Xiaobai can't eat anymore."

"It's almost done! These stones must have been treated with special magic. They are too tough." Elena's hands were wrapped in black and purple light. She pressed on the magic array beside Xiaobai. The stone grooves with lines carved on the magic array slowly turned into powder.

About ten minutes later, Elena raised her hands, and a basin-sized pit appeared where she pressed her hands. Then Xiaobai also left the magic array. Once it left, the magic power would flow back to this position, but because the original route had been destroyed, a large amount of magic power gathered here disorderly, condensing into a ball of light that was getting bigger and brighter.

Tasya shouted, "No, this magic fluctuation is too dangerous. We have to retreat into the passage."

The four people and the dragon ran back to the passage at the fastest speed. As soon as they climbed over the stone door, a loud noise came from behind.

"Lie down!" Tasya shouted.

A torrent of magic rushed out from the round hole of the stone door. Charlie, the warrior they had just recruited, was a little slow in the narrow stone passage because of his tall body. He was hit by this magic. After a dazzling light, only the lower half of his body was left on the ground, and the upper half had long disappeared.

"It's miserable!" Tasya sighed. She looked inside through the round hole on the stone door. The magic circle in the room had completely dimmed, and the light column had disappeared. Only some residual magic energy remained, floating in the room in the form of mist.

However, there were two more people at the original position of the light column, namely Xiao Chen and Master Kona.

"It made a loud noise. I was so scared that I jumped down as soon as I saw the light column disappear." Xiao Chen said, looking up at the hole above. "However, we are still some distance away from success."
