Chapter 65: The Raided Gate
"Be careful! It's a troll spear thrower above level three!"
The captain of the Magician team did not react slowly than Xu Yue at all. While he was reminding him loudly, he also activated a protective magic equipment on his body. A spiral aperture surrounded him. The flying spear was blocked by the blockage of these apertures, but the aperture also instantly collapsed into a light spot and disappeared.
Another magician was not so lucky. Before the young mage who seemed to be in his early twenties could react, he was shot through his chest by a spear piercing through his chest. He looked at the spear that was stuck in his chest with incredible eyes, and then fell down with blood spitting out.
The magician who looked like a middle-aged decadent uncle climbed onto the ground the moment the troll spear throwers took action, and the spear that flew past did not hurt him at all.
Xu Yue's light shield finally blocked the spear flying in, but the brightness of the light shield was reduced by 70%. He was so scared that he no longer dared to hide behind the shield players, but ran down to the thick battlements of the city wall and hid.
The other two also hid under the battlements as he did. The mage who led the team shouted a few times, but the shouts of killing and other noises on the surrounding battlefield made the other two who were a little far away unable to hear it clearly.
The captain crawled closer and shouted loudly: "This won't work! If the siege car is not destroyed, the trolls will attack the city walls from our side. We will all die at that time."
Xu Yue thought about it and replied loudly: "After a while, you shout to start, let's probe and attack the remaining two pillars on the left side of the siege car. You two attack the one in front, and I attack the one behind. Just break the pillar on one side and you can destroy the platform of the siege car."
The captain and the middle-aged mage looked at each other and nodded. Both of them knew that if the siege car was allowed to board the city wall, the place where they hid would become the place where the trolls climbed the city, and no one would survive.
After the captain looked at the spear flying on his head, he started to roar and rushed out of the battlements to throw the fireball technique in his hand out.
Xu Yue, a mage like the decadent uncle, also poked his body out of the battlements and cast the fireball technique.
The difference is that the captain and the decadent uncle only threw out a fireball, but Xu Yue casts a fireball technique with his left and right hands at the same time.
‘Double casting’ is a very useful but rare spell casting technique. Only some magicians with unique mental power or distracted two can condense two spell models at the same time to cast spells. Such mages can use different spells to cooperate with each other in battle, and their combat power is definitely not as simple as one plus one equals two.
Of course, Xu Yue is not a person with special mental power, and his ability to use the second use is not at all related to him. The reason why he can condense two magic models at the same time is entirely related to his majestic affinity.
Originally, when he saw this technique recorded in the magic book, he was completely based on legends. In reality, there were too few mages who could use "double casting".
However, during the process of practicing fireball, he accidentally remembered this technique and tried it as mentioned in the book. What he didn't expect was that although he did not have the ability to be distracted, the affinity of the magic element greatly reduced the attention he had to invest in building the magic model.
Even after he constructed a spell model, he could maintain the stability of the model as long as he maintained a little attention to the spell model, and he could devote his energy to constructing a second spell model.
So in fact, Xu Yue's "double casting" is different from those mages who can distract from the two-purpose mages that can build two spell models at the same time. His two spell models have time, but this does not affect his use of the power of the magic of the two spell models.
Four fireballs hit the target almost at the same time. After a violent explosion and firelight, the platform of the siege car collapsed completely.
"The mission is completed! Retreat quickly!" The first-level magician in the team leader shouted when he saw the collapsed siege car platform.
Under the cover of some shield warriors around, the three of them almost rolled and crawled down the city wall.
The battlefield commander killed the siege cars for the mission of the magician, and they had completed the mission. The situation on the city wall is obviously no longer suitable for the mage to stay. At this time, even the commander is crazy, he will not require the magician to stay on the city wall to die in vain.
When leaving the city wall, Xu Yue took the time to take a look. Eight siege vehicles were destroyed and five were destroyed. Only three of them placed a wooden board of twenty meters on the city wall when they approached. A large number of trolls were rushing up to the city wall at this time, following the passage built by the siege vehicles.
There were already many mages here under the city wall. Some injured mages were receiving treatment from the priest. They threw magical techniques on the wounds of the injured, and the wounds that were bleeding rapidly healed.
Hall stood in front of many mages and shouted: "Captains of each team, report the number of casualties."
The leaders of each team all came over, but the leaders of two teams died and were injured in this battle. They had no choice but to let the other people in the team represent it.
Finally, it was counted that there were thirty-one first-level magicians who were completely complete, five seriously injured, and one slightly injured. The remaining three died directly. The number of casualties does not seem to be large, but it is already a heavy blow to the magicians with a small number of important combat powers.
"We will not participate in the battle on the city wall for the time being. Unless an emergency occurs, we will stand by in one place. Now we will leave ten people to assist soldiers in guarding the city gate, and the others will speed up their mana and rest. There will be someone to rotate after the three rays." Hall said to many mages.
Many mages were relieved to hear that they didn't have to fight on the city wall. The spears flying all over the city wall gave them a lot of pressure, and the trolls obviously sent high-end combat power to target them, such as the mages. In this case, if they were still on the city wall, there was no difference between seeking death.
Because Xu Yue's group completed the task with only two waves of fireball techniques during the battle, their team had the least mana loss. The other teams did not dare to show up under the suppression of the troll spear thrower, so they could only throw the fireball techniques towards the siege car, and a lot of mana was consumed in vain.
Unexpectedly, Xu Yue's group was left to guard the city gate, and two mages with less mana loss also joined in.
Standing at the brightly lit city gate, Xu Yue had no choice but to find a clean place to sit down. The battle time just now was not very long, but the level of thrilling was something he had never encountered before. Seeing the soldiers around him constantly rushing up the city wall along the stone steps, he felt like he was traveling to the ancient battlefield.
The middle-aged uncle-like mage walked to him and sat down. He took out a bottle of wine from somewhere and handed it over.
"No! Thank you! I won't drink!" Xu Yue refused politely.
"You are really an orthodox mage. Do you also think drinking will affect your control of your mental power? Forget that fallacy. If you participate in adventures too many times, you will find that drinking a little wine during the intervals of battle can effectively relieve your nervousness. By the way, my name is Julius, and I am a travel wizard, what about you?" said the wizard like a decadent uncle.
"My name is Xu Yue, and you can also tell that I am a Chatner native. I currently live in the nearby town of Komodo."
"Oh! Komodo Town, I've been there a few times. The Suther wine in the town is very good. There are too few girls. But it's good if you go to the Night Song Forest to explore." Juliers' words were not like a mage at all, but like a warrior in a mercenary group.
Because there were only three trolls on the city wall, the advantage was still on the side of Black Rock City, so there was no need to worry about anything for the time being. The two of them were chatting in a mess while listening to the fighting sounds on the city wall.
Juliers has been to many places, and the experiences he said made Xu Yue, the fake Chatner, an eye-opener, hear them. There are many things that are not found in the book.
Just as the two of them became more and more prone to each other, they suddenly heard a dense shout of killing sounds on the main roads in the city. The dense crowd seemed to appear suddenly, rushed out of the alleyways and rushed towards the guards at the city gate.
Xu Yue and Juliers stood up in surprise. They never expected that such a racial war with trolls would lead to humans attacking from the city.
At first glance, these people gathered temporarily, with all the weapons in their hands, some wearing leather armor and some wearing ordinary clothes. As soon as they appeared, they fought with the guards at the door.
"Do you feel that there are fewer guards at the door?" Juliers suddenly said to Xu Yue.
After hearing this, Xu Yue was shocked. After looking around, he found that there were indeed fewer guards guarding the city gate. Logically speaking, although the trolls attacked outside, guards at important positions such as the city gate would never be mobilized. Now the battle on the city wall is dominant, so it is impossible to use the soldiers here.
"There are internal thieves!" Xu Yue and Juliers looked at each other and said in unison.
There were too many guys who were hitting the city gate. At first glance, there were at least two or three thousand people. A few of them were obviously very high-professional level causing considerable casualties to the guards. The soldiers guarding here were probably only about 300, and they seemed to be unable to hold on.
The other three magicians were constantly firing fireballs at the people. However, this behavior immediately attracted the attention of those people with higher profession levels. A thief who looked a little lame in his legs suddenly gave up the soldiers in front of him, and after a few flashes, he came to the side of the three mages.
His movements were too fast, so several first-level mages had no time to lock them with their spirits. The dagger in his hand flashed and suddenly entered a mage's neck. The mage's body shrank twice and then spitted out a blood mist on his neck and fell down.
The other two mages were startled and hurriedly activated the protective magic on their bodies and fled backwards. The soldiers next to them also fought to entangle the thief.
"'Broken Legs' Toby, I know this guy. He is the boss of a gang in the city. Several other senior professionals are also leaders of several gangs. It seems that these residues have colluded with trolls outside the city. They want to open the city gate and put the trolls in." Juliers said with a somewhat ugly expression when he saw the thief.
Although the people of these gangs were all mobs, their number was too large. More than 300 soldiers had already fallen down by now. If these guys were really allowed to seize the city gate, the consequences would be unimaginable.
"Broken Legs" Toby pulled the dagger out of a soldier's heart, and he looked at the retreating soldiers without any happy expressions.
He glanced at a bearded man bearded with a big knife beside him who was crazily slashing soldiers. He said in a gloomy tone: "I didn't expect that 'Feither Wolf' Locke, you also defected to those trolls. What benefits did they promise you?"
The big man named Locke said with a crazy laugh: "Haha, you Toby can defect to the trolls, why can't we? It's not that you are the only one who can seize the opportunity. As for the benefits, it won't be less than what you give to you. Hahaha..."
His words made Toby's eyes even colder. Toby originally thought that they were the only gang that defected to the trolls this time. In that case, if the trolls conquered Black Rock City, they would rely on their Soul Chasing Gang to manage humans.
But when he launched an attack on the city gate as agreed with the troll, he realized that there were two gangs doing the same thing, which made his plan to rely on his plan to surrender to the troll to a high position full of variables, and he couldn't be happy at all.
However, at this time he had already drawn his bow and turned back. Only by opening the city gate and letting the trolls in, these betrayers could survive. Otherwise, everyone in Black Rock City would not spare them for those who betrayed their own race.
Seeing that the remaining guards at the city gate were about to be compressed into the city gate, these guys attacking the city gate had been found on the city wall, but the people who came down were blocked by the gang members from the outside.
Although those gang members were no match for the soldiers defending the city, these guys knew that they had no way out and all tried their best to block the soldiers on the periphery. They knew that only by opening the city gate could they survive, so they were delaying the time for the soldiers besieging the soldiers guarding the gate.
"This won't work! Our people die too quickly. Without waiting for the people supported by the city wall to kill us, these guys can kill us and open the city gate!" Xu Yue said after taking a look at the situation on the battlefield.
"What should I do? There are not many people left here, and I can't wait for the support from outside to come in!" Juliers shouted loudly.
After looking around, Xu Yue found a person who looked like an officer and grabbed him and shouted loudly.
"You let all the soldiers shrink into the city gate, and then give us a space in the middle. Several of us magicians release magic together, so that we can gain some time!"
The officer wiped the blood from his face, waited for his eyes and looked at him, and shouted loudly: "You only have four people? Can you do it? Don't worry about the city gate. It takes two to open the city gate. There is only one here. We just need to hear the arrival of support."
"Don't worry! We will release all the magic in one breath to clean up a part of it. You will take it up after we finish the magic!" Xu Yue replied loudly.
The officer thought for a while and shouted loudly to let the soldiers guarding the city gate retreat while resisting.
Xu Yue pulled the two magicians who were so weak that their legs were weak because of their deaths before, and shouted loudly: "Let's use fireball together to attack the gap that the guards release. Don't stop in the middle, use up all their magic power in one breath! Do you know?"
The two mages looked at him blankly. One of them reacted and shouted, "We are just first-level magicians and don't have much magic power. Even if they are used to release fireball techniques, they can only release eight or nine. What should I do if I use up my magic power? Wait for death?"
"If you don't use your mana now, will you wait until the other party cuts off your head?" Xu Yue shouted at the bandits who rushed over desperately.
After saying that, he ignored the two scared mages, and called Juliers and came to the middle of the human wall formed by the city gate guards. After hesitating for a while, the two scared mages also followed.
"Success and failure are here!" Xu Yue thought to himself. At the same time, he signaled to the officer. The next moment, the wall in front of him suddenly separated towards the two books under the command of the officer. When the thugs saw that there was a gap opened, they rushed towards the gap with cheers.
Xu Yue could even see their ferocious expressions and the reflection on their weapons. He raised his right hand with a calm expression and shouted at the crowd rushing towards him: "Listen to my order! Fireball! Let it go!"
