Chapter 64 Troll Siege Battle
As a trade union organization that covers magicians throughout the continent, the Magic Guild has always been in a neutral position in the fight between mainland forces. Unless it encounters a beast tide or other situations, no ordinary war force cannot force magicians from the Magic Guild to participate in the war.
But one of the situations is that it is a racial war. Once a racial war occurs, the magicians of this race have an obligation to fight to protect their own race.
Xu Yue settled the little girl in the room with a serious expression and told her not to run around before she came back. Then he quickly left the hotel and ran towards the Magic Guild. The Magic Guild's convening order must be responded, which is an obligation that must be undertaken while enjoying the resources provided by the Guild. No magician will evade this obligation, nor can it be avoided.
When he arrived, the gate of the Magic Guild had opened, and many mages wearing robes had gathered in the lobby on the first floor. Because there were no acquaintances, Xu Yue did not gather together like others to discuss this convening after coming in. He found a guild staff member and asked a few questions in a low voice and got some information.
This time the call was targeted at the trolls outside the city. After two months of preparation and temptation, the trolls finally launched an attack as everyone expected.
They chose the attack time at night, and it was obvious that they had the intention to capture the city wall while the night was shining. However, since Black Rock City discovered the movements of the trolls, they had never relaxed their patrols of the city wall, and the attacks of the trolls were discovered at the first time.
The magicians did not wait for how long. Only after seven or eight minutes, a mage in a purple robe appeared in the hall, looking at the mark on the robe on his chest. This was a level 4 wizard.
"I am the initiator of this convening Pine. As the vice president of the Magic Guild Branch of the Black Rock City, I think everyone already knows the situation this time. The trolls outside the city have launched an attack on Black Rock City, and this attack is defined as a racial war. All human mages in Black Rock City will be temporarily summoned by the City Lord's Mansion to participate in the battle."
After saying that, he looked at the many magicians who had quieted down, and nodded after finding that no one was panicking, and continued, "I won't say much nonsense. Everyone knows what their obligations should be fulfilled. Next, there will be special personnel to group you according to their profession level and participate in this battle. I won't say much about the rules. Everyone knows that if someone escapes in the battle, then I advise him to hide in the deep mountains and forests for the rest of his life. Otherwise, everyone will know the outcome."
Pine's words made the mage standing in the hall feel a little depressed, and the crowd who was talking quietly quieted for a moment. However, this calmness was soon broken by the group members.
Xu Yue is a first-level mage and was assigned to the second group. There are about 40 people in this group, all of whom are first-level magicians. The other group is magic apprentices, with a number of about 80, and the third group is second-level mages, with only fifteen. There are only six third-level mages in the fourth group, one of which is the administrator of the library that Xu Yue has seen. The only fourth-level magician is Pine.
The team leader is a first-level magician in the Magic Guild, named Hall. He led the largest number of first-level magicians to rush directly to the city wall.
All the first-level mages leaning against the city wall trotted to the top of the city wall. Through the gate of the fortress above the spiral staircase, they could see that the battle here was already very fierce.
The height of the city wall is thirty meters. In order to climb the city wall, the trolls threw many things like hook claws onto the city wall, and then climbed up along the rope on the hook claws.
As a race who has lived in the forest for a long time, their climbing ability is very strong. The fastest thirty-meter city wall is only 40 seconds before they can climb up.
The soldiers of Black Rock City kept knocking off these hook claws or cutting off the ropes on the hook claws with weapons. From time to time, the screams of trolls falling down.
However, there are too many trolls climbing with their hook claws, and from time to time, there are still trolls climbing onto the city wall. At this time, a group of soldiers who are waiting to rush over to surround the troll in the middle to launch an attack.
However, there were also many soldiers who went to see the rope and were pierced by the trolls who rushed up with their spears.
A man who was obviously an officer looked like an officer ran over after seeing Xu Yue and his team of magicians. The blood on the armor and the murderous aura on his body meant that there were many trolls he killed.
"The magician of the Magic Guild?" he asked with a serious expression.
After receiving a positive answer, he clicked and pointed to the middle section of the city wall.
"It's not time for you to appear now. These trolls and critters will not be able to attack for a while. But these guys' siege tools have not yet appeared. If the siege tools appear later, you will attack their siege equipment according to the order. I will give you a messenger."
After saying that, he called a soldier with several magic wands flashing with different lights and asked him to follow the magician team.
The team leader led a first-level magician team of forty people to the middle section of the city wall and stood in a square, quietly waiting for the arrival of the order.
Xu Yue happened to be standing in front of the team, so he could clearly see the battle situation.
Because it was at night, the light was not very good. A large number of bonfires were lit on the city walls. The soldiers guarding the city obviously knew the weakness of trolls fearing fire. Many soldiers were lit torches with oil and threw them towards the trolls climbing up the city.
Several soldiers even poured pots of burning hot oil down the city wall, and the trolls below suddenly screamed like burning fireballs.
Although he had experienced many battles when he came to Tarenmiya, from the siege of the wind wolf pack to killing several robbers on earth. From the guards of Komodo town to the battle at the troll altar, Xu Yue had also seen many battles.
However, he was still very shocked by the siege of ten thousand people that could only be seen in ancient China. The momentum that tens of thousands of people fought was enough to scare some timid people to the ground.
Not all the magicians in the team were old people who had experienced battles. You can see some younger mages clenched their fists nervously. Several of them even shook slightly, not knowing whether they were excited or scared.
However, no one escaped at the last minute. It is obvious that everyone knows how severe the Magic Guild punishes those who escape at the last minute in the racial war. Just a completely impossible use of any resource in the guild almost eliminates the path to most mage level promotion.
The troll's sneak attack did not achieve the expected effect. After a while, a loud and long horn sound came from the jungle outside the city. The trolls who fought desperately to climb the city wall immediately retreated like a tide when they heard this sound. It was obvious that the troll's command would not allow these trolls to die in vain without having the advantage.
The troll's retreat made many soldiers roar excitedly, but the officers who were commanding the battle did not look happy and shouted to drive the soldiers to the defensive position.
"Here you come!" Xu Yue thought to himself.
He could see that the reason why these trolls retreated was not because they were afraid, but because the opponent's commander did not want to let his soldiers die in vain at this disadvantage after seeing the sneak attack ineffective. In the next battle, the opponent would definitely use siege equipment to attack the city wall. That was the time when they needed to go on stage.
Sure enough, just over ten minutes later, loud noises suddenly came from the forest outside the city. Huge numbers fell down on the edge of the forest. Then several huge beasts pulled out several giant carts made of wood that were more than ten meters tall.
The messenger next to him saw several different colors of light on the city wall in the distance flashing according to certain rules. He took out the luminous magic wand in his hand and responded to the other party with a special signal transmission method. Then he turned around.
"The above commands your magician team to attack one siege car according to the number of opponent's siege cars. Be sure to knock it out!"
Hall, the leader of the magician team, nodded, turned around and looked at the somewhat nervous team.
"Now each team is divided into eight groups with five people. As I said, each team is watching this group of siege cars. Will it do fireball skills? You don't have to worry about other things on the battlefield. Use fireball skills to smash those siege cars hard until they are burned out."
After saying that, Hall divided the teams according to the information he understood. It can be seen that he has tried to equalize the strength of each team. There will be no incident in which a certain team can still be squinted after only a few fireballs because of its low strength.
Xu Yue's team was assigned the most siege car, and the team was still members of the Magic Guild. It can be seen that they have received special training, so as not to temporarily recruited mages, they should be much more calm.
Although the giant beasts seem very powerful, their movements are quite slow. Each giant beast is more than ten meters high, a bit like the ancient dinosaur triceratops on their heads and backs. They are covered with thick iron armor. Ordinary attacks do not cause damage to them at all. No wonder the commanders on humans do not allow magicians to directly attack these giant beasts.
"What are those giant beasts? Why haven't I heard of them?" Xu Yue secretly asked a magician beside him while waiting for the giant beast to lean over. The team did not prohibit magicians from talking to each other, but most people were very nervous and had no intention of talking.
The one next to him was a mage who looked in his forties. His unkempt stubble and casual expression made him look like an ordinary middle-aged decadent uncle. And judging from his physique, if he wasn't really wearing a mage robe, Xu Yue would rather believe this long-standing warrior.
"That's a giant horned beast! Although these guys are quite scary, they are actually graze-eating. This thing is actually not a monster, but just an ordinary beast. However, because of its huge power, it is sometimes used by some aliens to pull things. However, this thing is a thing on the orc territory, and I don't know why it appears on the troll." The mage leaned against the city wall casually and said.
His words reminded Xu Yue of the news sent by the elves a few days ago by Aiwo. The news said that the trolls also participated in the war between the elves and orcs. Now it seems that these two alien races have probably joined forces long ago, otherwise there would be no beasts unique to orcs here.
"Be careful! The siege car has entered the range. All members of the mage team should be careful, prepare fireball techniques, and fire them together after my orders. Attack the siege car's pillars, don't hit other places." The captain of the siege suddenly shouted.
Suddenly, the other four mages also stood up, all raised their hands to face the pillars of the siege car in the distance, and began to lock them up with their spirits. Fireballs suddenly appeared in their hands.
"Be careful! The opponent's attack has arrived!"
A rapid voice came from the soldiers guarding beside him, and a group of shield-holding warriors standing next to the magician immediately raised their shields and stood in front of the magician.
A few sharp spears flew over with the sound of breaking through the air. Many spears were blocked by shields, but some powerful spears shot through the wooden shield wrapped in iron, piercing the shield-holding soldiers. One spear even penetrated the body of a soldier and even shot through the thighs of a magician in their team.
The magician screamed and fell down, and the fireball technique in his hand shot directly to the sky due to the fall and pain.
"Damn it! It's a spear warrior of the trolls. Pay attention to protecting the mage, and the shields fight in two rows." An officer next to him roared.
"Come on, lift the injured mage back and let the priest treat him. If you can move, hurry back to fight with the disabled. The other mages obey my orders, fireball techniques, and the pillar on the left front of the target siege car, let it go!" The leader of the magician team shouted.
Under his command, four fireballs were immediately seen bringing out a light belt at the same time, shooting towards the huge wooden pillar of the siege car.
After a loud bang and fire, a man's waist-thick pillar in the six pillars of the siege car was blown off from the middle under the concentrated attack of four fireballs. This made the siege car's platform shake. However, with the other five pillars as support, the platform did not collapse.
The attack effect of Fireball Technique is quite good. Just write it down again, and the platform of the siege car will definitely collapse.
However, the trolls did not turn a blind eye to this. They saw many troll warriors with strange patterns standing up on the platform. They threw the spear in their hands in the direction of the fireball firing.
Xu Yue instinctively felt a danger. He immediately activated the one-way protective magic "Protective Shield" on his staff without hesitation. Suddenly, a shield-shaped light shield appeared in front of him to protect most of his body.
His intuition was not wrong. He saw that the spears had almost shot closer as soon as they left the hands of the trolls. The two rows of shields in front almost did not even play a role in blocking the spears, and they were immediately penetrated.'
One of the spears shot hard on his "protective shield". For a moment, the spear and light shield saw even a piece of Mars. The light shield's light also became unstable.
