instrument.

Stump and another dwarf hero under his command were conscientiously adjusting the trebuchet and cannon. Although this was already very familiar to them, it was still not an easy job and they had to devote all their energy.

Several shield dwarf priests and Pamela's mages were casting spells together, preparing to follow Levi's instructions to further damage the opponent's morale.

Soon several female drow dressed as priests poked their heads out from the city wall and cursed fiercely at Levi: "Damn surface elves, your inferior wisdom is not enough to fool us drow elves!"

Levi snorted. Of course he knew that the other party would not believe it easily, so he also made some preparations for this.

He glanced at Pamela, and when he saw her nodding, he waved his hand.

So in the next moment, dozens of blood-stained family emblems appeared in mid-air, together with some broken mithril war hammers, snake-headed whips, broken staffs and projections of various armors.

Almost as soon as they saw them clearly, the drow in the city subconsciously took a breath of air.

Because they all recognized those things, they once belonged to the matrons, chief mage and martial arts masters of various families in Oostark City.

Now that they appear here, it only means one thing. The high elves outside are indeed not lying. The army they sent out to encircle and suppress those hypocritical and stupid drow traitors who believe in Eilistraee must have been destroyed.

The enemy was annihilated!

For a while, even the defenders on the city wall began to waver. They knew how many elite forces the many families in the city had mobilized in order for this siege operation to proceed smoothly.

It can even be said that almost all of them who remain in the city are the weakest in normal times!

Seeing this scene, Levi couldn't help but nodded with satisfaction. The hidden attribute of morale was of almost no use to the chosen heroes themselves, and their attributes would not be affected in any way by this.

But for the indigenous people, once their morale is low, their frequency of attacks and enthusiasm for combat will be weakened. After it reaches a certain level, they may even be afraid of fighting, be timid, or simply choose to escape.

This is still very beneficial to our side's upcoming siege battle.

So he immediately struck while the iron was hot: "I swear on the honor of our high elves, as long as you surrender, I will definitely settle you well!"

Originally, Dussel and Hans both stated that they wanted to kill all the evil drow. This was also a common method used by their dwarves and all dwarf subraces when fighting against evil enemies.

But Li Wei believed that it would be too wasteful to do so.

If they can successfully occupy Ostark City, they will definitely need a large number of villagers to carry out repairs, construction and other activities, which all require population.

And if that doesn't work, he can also let the surrendered drow become slaves, which can be regarded as reform through labor.

There was another commotion in the city, but soon the female priest's extremely sharp voice rang out again: "Drow never surrender, let alone surrender like lowly males!"

Although this sentence even affected many drow warriors due to its wide coverage, the drow priests, who were all female and had relatively strong status and strength, were greatly boosted in morale, and for a time there was an endless stream of dirty words.

.

Many drow priests chanted the name of Spider Queen Rose, appearing extremely fanatical.

No matter what they think in their hearts, the other drow can only shout excitedly on the surface, because if they show any disrespect to Rose, the Spider Queen, they will only die.

Li Wei couldn't help but raise his eyebrows. You are really stubborn. Since you don't give yourself a chance, there is no need for me to be merciful.

Speaking of which, this is the first time he has commanded it. A real large-scale siege must be fought beautifully!

"Stump, I will also leave my Eagle Claw Ballista to your command. First clear the arrow towers on the opponent's city wall!"

"Okay, brother Li Wei, just leave it to me. I will definitely complete the task!"

Shudun immediately patted his chest and promised, and then he and his younger brother began to direct together.

His younger brother mastered both ballistics and gunnery. When commanding war equipment, he could increase its attack power and hit rate in many aspects.

He had previously spent a lot of military merit to specially obtain a high-level runic equipment unique to dwarves, which could slightly enhance the maximum range of war equipment.

Although the degree of enhancement is not high, in terms of range, they are already slightly better than the ballistas on the city wall, which is suitable for this kind of mission.

So with the roar of cannons, the attacks of trebuchets and ballistae, the arrow towers of Ostark City began to collapse one after another.

Although the drow also tried to launch a counterattack, they soon discovered that they seemed unable to do so because the range was insufficient, and they suddenly started to curse again in anger.

Levi, Pamela, and a few other mages with magic range-enhancing expertise also began to coordinate the attack.

Although the opponent's city walls and arrow towers were obviously equipped with special protection and had a certain degree of fire resistance, it was impossible to completely ignore them, so the speed at which they dismantled the arrow towers became several percent faster.

The opponent's city gate is extremely strong, and ordinary arrows and ballistae are completely ineffective. Only cannons can cause certain damage. At the same time, it seems to have some special magic attached to it, which has a certain chance of reflecting such long-range attacks.

But Li Wei had no intention of attacking the city gate forcefully, so he gave up after trying it for a while.

With air force and magic, just attacking the city gate is really inefficient.

However, when there are still a dozen arrow towers left, the ammunition of the tree stumps has been exhausted.

Even if you are prepared in advance, the cannon shells are not arrows. They cannot be stacked in large quantities in the space ring. They need more space. In addition, some of them were consumed in the previous battle, so their reserves are also limited.

.

But it's almost done now. The output of those dozen arrow towers is no longer a particularly big threat to our two thousand troops.

What's more, during their efforts, Dussel and Hans finally completed their own assembly work.

After seeing the finished product, everyone, including Li Wei, couldn't help but express their sincere admiration.

To put it simply, these are chariots powered by steam and spirits, and their weapons are huge drills in front of the chariot.

They have a total of two power sources, one is used to drive the tank itself, and the other is used to drive the drill bit.

Even people who have never seen them in action can roughly understand their principles and functions just by looking at their appearance.

Yes, they are steam-drilling earth-drilling mine carts invented by the shield dwarves. They were originally used for mining, but now they can also be used to drill holes in local city walls!

The city wall of Oostak City is only about five meters, which is relatively low in this world. Any level 4 agile soldier can jump on it, so their hindrance to the attackers is not as high as expected.

.

Well, dwarves may be an exception. They have low agility, short legs, and are often heavily armored. They are indeed inferior to other races in this regard.

But they are city walls after all. Whether they have them or not is completely different. If these steam drills and mine carts can be used, then all our troops, including ogres and other units that are not good at jumping, can easily enter the city.

.

The shield dwarves have invented them for a long time, but this seems to be the first time for actual combat. Dussel also purely wants to show off their shield dwarves in front of Levi, a powerful new ally.

Strength.

Li Wei was also very happy when he saw this. He directly ordered everyone to launch a general attack. As long as they can cover these people and approach the city wall, victory is almost in their hands!
Chapter completed!
