Warlord: King of All Clans
Chapter 681 Meteoric Fire Technique
The main force of the River Bend brought back by Knight Solovie is not comparable to Roman's musket corps and Strong's alien corps.
The best guns, ammunition, elite soldiers, and grassroots officers in Hewan are all gathered in the main army corps.
As the main army arrived, one city-breaker after another and thousand-man field guns were pulled out from the battle barges.
The Pegasus Knights on the Pegasus aircraft carrier took off in teams one after another and occupied the airspace.
Several steam warships, emitting billowing black smoke, blockaded the port of Osluden.
The ship's onboard commander roared and directly sank a sailing warship in the port, making the remaining ships dare not show their heads.
The Earldom of Gustav is located deep inland. Although there is a tributary of the Anzelo River leading to the Lake of the Ancestors in the Earl's main city, Osluden, the river is shallow, making it difficult for warships to maneuver, and naval battles cannot be fought.
The Gustav family's fleet was just an inland merchant caravan and had little water combat capability.
With even the waterways blocked, the city of Osluden completely lost contact with the outside world.
Replacing Count Fontena in Osluden is the eighth-level archmage Sapir, who is worshipped by Count Gustav's palace and is a famous archmage in the north.
His family was a prominent local family in Osluden, and his ancestor was also one of the earls in the north, but it was annexed by the Gustav family a hundred years ago.
Looking at the chaotic River Bend Legion camp, Sapir looked helpless and asked the knight beside him, "Still no news from the Grand Duke?"
The knight of the Gustav family bowed his head and said, "There is no news yet. After the last team of messengers left five days ago, the city was completely blocked. The commander of the river bay refused to allow our messengers to leave."
Sapir was very annoyed. "The world is going downhill. The world is going downhill. The young people nowadays don't follow the rules when they fight."
As an eighth-level wizard, Sapir is already over seventy years old and has not fought with anyone for nearly thirty years.
When he was young, he followed the two previous Count Gustavs to fight foreign wars. Everyone had to issue a declaration of war before going to war. There was no such shameless surprise attack.
Moreover, the messengers who went to the Grand Duke of the North to appeal for justice were either assistant priests of the Ancestral Temple or monks of the Church of Holy Light. In their generation, no one dared to stop them.
We are all vassals of the Grand Duke of the North. We are going to ask the head of the family for justice, but you are blocking our way!
Archmage Sapir wanted to teach the River Bend Legion a lesson, so he raised his hands, closed his eyes and chanted a spell.
As the long spell sounded, a vortex of tremendous magic power formed around him. The invisible magic power caused a visible wind, so that the servants around him could not stand steadily and had to retreat far away.
Behind him, the top of the towering Sapir Mage Tower in the city also began to light up red, as if it had turned into a torch.
A few minutes later, the air began to become scorching hot, and the originally sunny late summer sky gradually began to appear with fiery red clouds.
The flaming cloud slowly condensed into a vortex, and then a hole broke out in the center. A meteorite condensed into shape, dragging a long tail of flame, and fell from the sky.
High-level spell: Meteoric Fire!
This is a high-level range spell second only to the holy forbidden spell, and the prerequisites are very complex. Even he, an eighth-level wizard, needs to rely on the reserve magic power of the wizard tower to cast it.
Once it hits the ground, it will create a large pit with a diameter of ten meters. All buildings within a hundred meters will be destroyed, and it will be difficult for mortal soldiers to survive.
The subsequent shock wave and high temperature can spread to three hundred meters away and continue to cause casualties.
A few decades ago, if an eighth-level wizard used the Meteoric Fire Technique on a mortal soldier, his reputation would be ruined and he might even be punished by the Saint Order.
But now the rules are gone and Sapir can't care less.
A meteorite as big as a wheel, with a long tail of flame, was about to fall in the middle of the River Bend Legion camp, causing a disaster.
At this time, a golden halberd flew straight up to a height of hundreds of meters at a speed that exceeded the projection speed of a heavy crossbow and collided with the meteorite.
The meteorite and the halberd disintegrated at the same time and exploded in the air.
Fragments of the meteorite scattered all over the legion camp, causing great commotion and many tents were set on fire.
Fortunately, after the meteorite disintegrated, the impact force was no longer there, and the actual casualties caused were not many, which was equivalent to a rain of fire.
With the officers' efforts, the soldiers' riot was quickly quelled.
Standing in the center of the legion camp, Strong raised his hands and cried out to the sky, "My halberd!"
"This is the magic weapon given to me by King Fiza!"
Godwin beside him rubbed his sore arm and said speechlessly: "Without your halberd, this meteorite fire will be difficult to deal with. Do you want the lives of the soldiers or your halberd?"
Although Meteor Fire is not a real meteorite falling, it is still very powerful.
If no one cracks it and it crashes down, considering the dense population of the legion camp and the lack of stone buildings to block it, it is likely to cause thousands of casualties.
Godwin had just been promoted to level nine and had no suitable weapons with him, so he had to borrow Strong's weapon.
This golden halberd weighing more than 40 kilograms is the standard weapon of the Royal Griffin Knights. It has the top enchantments in the South Territory and is much stronger than any high-quality steel spear.
Si Zhuang was furious, "I want them all! Damn enemy, you dare to fight back, listen to my command, move out the city breakers!"
Soon, the city-breaking siege cannon that was transported ashore via the temporarily laid track was slowly pulled outside the city wall by the trackers.
With one volley of fire from the five city-breakers, the defensive formation of the Osluden city wall collapsed instantly!
This magic barrier used to resist the attack of counterweight catapults against the city could not stop the concentrated fire of the iron bullets from the city breakers.
Archmage Sapir had just cast the Meteorite Fire spell, which consumed most of his magic power. He had no time to go back for support and could only watch helplessly as the defensive formation was defeated.
Even if the defensive magic circle is consumed, it can be restored by magic crystals or magicians' recharge. However, if it is directly penetrated, many magic circles will be scrapped, and it will cost tens of thousands of gold coins to repair them.
Sapir's heart was bleeding and he dared not attack again.
Now the main force of Osluden followed Count Fontenay westward, and there were only a few thousand defenders in the city, more than half of whom were temporarily recruited soldiers.
The defense of the entire city basically depends on him, the great wizard.
However, the magic power of a high-level wizard is limited. Once it is used up, his combat effectiveness is no match for a mid-level warrior.
Fortunately, after the River Bend Legion defeated the city wall's defensive formation, there was no more siege action.
Archmage Sapir suddenly felt that the opponent's firearms were nothing special. It seemed that the casting time was not much faster than his Meteor Fire Spell.
On Strong's side, a military meeting was also being held, and neither of them had much interest in attacking the city.
Luo Meng looked at the steep city wall in the distance and felt a headache. "What solutions do you have? Tell us quickly. If it doesn't work, we can only wait for Leo to come back."
