Chapter 89: Brutal Destruction
Four large counterweight catapults were in place, and the apprentices quickly got their subordinates in place. More than twenty heroes of different star levels also took their positions one by one.
Li Qing waved his hand, and the soldiers used hammers to smash the bolt open. A large counterweight steel ingot fell down, driving the stone in the pocket at the other end of the lever to fly high, drawing an arc in the air and hitting the city wall several hundred meters away.
Several unlucky snake soldiers were crushed by the boulders and turned into a bloody mess on the spot.
"continue!"
Several soldiers worked together to push the capstan, and the internal gears rolled to raise the counterweight steel ingot again.
"Ready, fire!"
The second round of boulders was thrown and hit the same spot again.
What followed was a boring wait, waiting for stones to break down the city wall.
Cao Wenyuan looked up at a section of the city wall that had been hit four times in a row and the surface of the wall had collapsed, and he sighed in his heart.
At this time, Zhang Jishan's voice came to my ears:
"He is indeed much stronger than us, whether it's his troops or his heroes, even his siege equipment is more advanced than ours."
Cao Wenyuan nodded in his heart and replied through the Black Stone Tower of the Academy, which had spread across the entire plane:
"Yes, he is stronger than all of us combined. I am now convinced."
"Hehe, I am convinced too, but I wonder if the apprentices under those two five-star mentors who claim to be elites are convinced or not."
"I don't think anyone will give in. There will definitely be a fight between dragons and tigers."
"I hope he can win, defeat all the apprentices and become the first counter-attacker in the past hundred years."
"It is possible, but it is hard to say. I heard that the top two five-star mentors not only have good family backgrounds and abundant resources, but also have good talents. In addition, their previous training was in the real plane where the two five-star mentors opened the plane channel and descended. They gained a lot of benefits. I don't know how strong they are now."
Zhang Jishan nodded and said:
"Yes, the gap is too big and it is difficult to overcome."
"But no matter what, he will definitely have a place in the top ten. When the training is over, he will most likely get those opportunities. Then he will be able to take off. I'm so envious."
"Yeah, I'm so envious..."
While the two were chatting, the catapult had already thrown more than ten stones, creating a small gap in the wall of the snakeman city.
As long as we continue to smash down along this gap, we will soon be able to completely break down the city wall.
The snakemen defenders on the city wall were extremely anxious. Although they also had trebuchets, only small and medium-sized trebuchets could be placed on the city wall. Adjusting the height and making the stones smaller allowed them to be thrown that far, but the power was not enough to destroy the reinforced counterweight trebuchets.
After many attempts to barely reach it but failed to destroy it, the snakemen defenders could no longer sit still, and the mage tower in the city began to light up, and it seemed that the mage tower was going to be used.
But the activation speed of this mage tower is very slow, much lower than the activation speed in Hashem City.
Fortunately, Li Qing did not throw meteorites like he did when he dealt with Hashim City, otherwise, with the activation speed, the mage tower would not be ready by the time he threw the meteorite.
It is obvious that there is absolutely no extraordinary wizard in this wizard tower.
Under this extremely low efficiency that even Li Qing felt a little uncomfortable with, the Mage Tower was finally successfully activated. The fireballs from the four element balls of earth, fire, wind and water surrounding the tower flew out, turned into an explosive flame and slammed down, smashing a large counterweight catapult into pieces with one blow.
Then another three were released one by one, smashing another three counterweight catapults and killing dozens of nearby soldiers.
Then, before cheers could be heard from the people in the city, Li Qing calmly took out four new counterweight catapults and placed them next to their original positions.
Then the smashed remains were collected and prepared to be decomposed and synthesized into new ones.
After that, nothing happened. Without the control of the Mage Tower Master, it was very troublesome to condense the four elemental balls again.
When the Mage Tower began to gather energy, four gaps had already been created in the city wall.
Then, at Li Qing's command, nine war lord apprentices, three hundred each, totaling two thousand seven hundred cannon fodder troops, were divided into four groups and charged towards the gap in the city wall, and the siege officially began.
With Long Shou guarding by his side, Long Fa flew to the gap in the city wall, opened his mouth and aimed a blast of dragon breath at the snakemen defenders squeezed in the gap.
The ground, which was thirty meters wide and ninety meters long, was quickly engulfed by high-temperature flames.
The power of LV5 dragon breath is beyond the imagination of ordinary people. The snakemen defenders in it turned into charcoal on the spot and drifted away with the wind.
A breath of dragon killed hundreds of snake people. Long Fa was about to head to another gap when a roar suddenly came from the city , followed by a thick white stream of light flying out and shooting straight at Long Fa.
Long Fa chanted a spell slowly, and a portal appeared before his eyes.
The moment he walked into the door, another door appeared in the air a hundred meters away, and Long Fa walked out of it.
The sword missed and fell directly into the soldiers outside the city who were preparing to attack the city. A bright sword light drew a semi-arc and exploded twenty meters away. More than two hundred soldiers crowded within an area with a diameter of nearly forty meters were intercepted and killed instantly by the sword.
Cao Wenyuan was startled
"This is the only extraordinary person in the city, the snake swordsman, be careful!"
Li Qing narrowed his eyes and looked at this... female snake swordsman. She was about the same height as an ordinary snake man, but her scales were snow-white without a trace of impurities. There was a blue gem embedded in her belly button in the middle of the two sexy vest lines on her slender waist.
The proud and fierce figure was bound only by a silk scarf, with a delicate face, blue pupils, a gem embedded in the center of the brow, and an extremely fierce temperament.
She held a strangely shaped but very beautiful one-handed long sword in each hand, slowly raised it and pointed it at Li Qing, speaking in snake language that Li Qing could not understand:
"@#……＊&＊&＊￥"
Li Qing looked around at Cao Wenyuan and others, and they all spread their hands to indicate that they didn't understand.
Li Qing shook his head and said to Long Shou beside him:
"Let's go together and kill her."
Long Shou nodded, drew out a long sword from his back, flapped his wings behind him and flew up, pouncing towards the female snake man.
At the same time, Longfa also rushed over, hung in the air and began to cast spells.
She stretched out her hand and pointed, and a spider web fell down, but with a flash of sword light, the spider web was split in two and fell to the ground. Her figure flashed and turned into a stream of light and stabbed Li Qing directly, obviously intending to capture the king.
But Li Qing was not panicked at all. He just focused on casting a series of spells to enhance himself.
"boom!"
With a dull sound, the stream of light hit an invisible transparent force field and was blocked.
Super magic skills - spells are cast silently, and spells can be cast without chanting.
Just now, he used this super magic skill to cast several spells, including the five-ring mana wall spell, which created an invisible and transparent force field to resist the enemy.
After being strengthened by divinity, this force field is enough to easily withstand multiple consecutive attacks from extraordinary strongmen.
Correspondingly, after being strengthened by divinity, the power and effect of all his spells will be increased by 100%. Coupled with the enhancement of various super-magic techniques, the effect is even stronger and can pose a huge threat to extraordinary strong men.
After a series of enhancements were completed, Li Qing stretched out his hand and pointed, and a portal appeared in front of him. After stepping out of the door, he was already a hundred meters high, just level with Long Fa who was rushing over.
The snake-man swordsman immediately discovered Li Qing's position. He gave up going around him and turned around to disappear in a flash. When he appeared again, he flashed directly behind Li Qing and slashed down with both swords.
However, there was another muffled sound, and Long Fa used a force wall spell to block her two swords.
Longfa didn't learn many spells, because he was a warlock, and he only learned a few spells in each ring, but they were all very classic spells, such as fireball, wall of force, dispel magic, chain lightning, turn mud into stone, turn stone into mud, anywhere door, flash, etc.
Li Qing turned around, stretched out his hand and pointed, using a human immobilization spell to stop the snake-man swordsman from swinging his sword.
But the next second, an invisible energy burst out from her body, and she quickly regained consciousness. Her body flashed and split into a dozen mirror images, rushing towards him from all directions.
Li Qing and Long Fa turned around together, used a flash spell to jump a hundred meters away, and turned around again. Long Fa opened his mouth to gather strength, and swept a dragon breath over, and all the mirror images disappeared.
Li Qing cast a mage armor on himself and then silently recited a spell in his heart.
At the same time, Long Shou also followed and stood in front of him.
The series of battles just now proved that with his current flying skills, he could not keep up with their ghostly speed, so it would be better to sit back and wait.
After the dragon's breath, the snake-man swordsman was no longer visible in the sky. Li Qing narrowed his eyes slightly and quickly cast a spell to summon several peeping eyes to scatter around. Then he cast a high-level invisibility spell on himself and disappeared.
A few seconds later, a figure appeared out of nowhere behind Long Fa, and his two swords were aimed at Long Fa's neck.
But Long Fa's perception was very strong. He opened his mouth and let out a long howl. The fear spell caused the snakeman swordsman to pause slightly. Li Qing, who was far away, seized the opportunity to cast the spell he had just prepared.
A trace of pain appeared on the face of the snake-man swordsman, and then his body shape changed rapidly, and soon he turned into a little lamb and fell down.
Fifth-ring spell: Malevolent Transfiguration, which can forcibly transform the target into a harmless small animal, commonly known as turning into a sheep.
Long Fa reacted quickly and escaped, turned around, opened his mouth and began to accumulate strength.
Li Qing quickly performed a force wall technique, but not to protect himself. Instead, he turned the force wall into an arc and caught the little lamb in the arc.
Then Long Fa gathered all his strength and spurted out a breath of dragon light. The scorching dragon light shot across the sky into the arc-shaped force field. The little lamb suffered horrible damage and instantly turned into a charming snake-man swordsman. He turned around and wanted to escape, but Long Shou was guarding the exit of the arc-shaped force field at this time. He stepped forward and knocked him back.
The terrifying dragon breath swept across her again, and her body quickly caught fire, her snow-white snake scales turned black, and she let out a shrill scream.
At the same time, an extremely sharp sword energy exploded from the force field. Long Shou, who was stuck at the entrance of the arc-shaped force wall, groaned and fell backwards, and a huge wound that directly cut open his chest appeared.
Li Qing appeared behind Long Shou through the Anywhere Door. He stretched out his hand and pressed it in the air. A huge transparent hand rushed out and forcibly beat back the snake-man swordsman who was about to escape.
Five-ring spell: Bigby's protective palm, sends out an invisible and transparent force field hand with amazing power.
Although this snake-man swordsman was at the sixth level and had been promoted to the extraordinary level with amazing combat power, her flesh and blood body was unable to withstand the burning of the dragon's breath of Dragon Technique LV5. She tried to break out twice but failed. The terrifying dragon's breath quickly broke through her defense and melted through her body.
When the dragon's breath ended, the force field technique also ended, and the charred corpse with its chest and abdomen melted fell straight down.
Li Qing also fell down and came to the corpse, sighing.
Such a beautiful and sexy girl died just like that, and died so tragically. It was really a cruel act.
It would be great if such a person could be recruited as a hero, as he could both stand out from the crowd and get into bed.
But there was no way. In the current situation, it was either you or me. Besides, they were not strong enough and there was no room for them to hold back.
Exhaling lightly, Li Qing picked up the trophy light ball she had condensed and put it away.
He and his men killed this opponent, and the other apprentices did not help at all, so naturally the responsibility belonged to him.
This snake-man swordsman held an extraordinary status in the snake-man city, and was their mainstay in resisting the coalition forces. When she was killed, one could clearly feel the morale of the snake-men in the city plummeted.
The only extraordinary strong man was killed, and the morale plummeted, making the next battle easier.
Li Qing did not take action again, but sat in the back and watched his men fight.
Even though the enemy's mage tower released magic lightning from time to time, it didn't move at all. With this efficiency, even if they released ten more, it would be the same.
In less than an hour of fighting, three gaps in the city wall were lost, and the last one was also under siege. It was only a matter of time before it fell.
Cao Wenyuan and others gathered around Li Qing, pointing at the city excitedly.
"As expected of the chief, he is truly amazing. Not only does he have the ability to kill extraordinary warriors, but he is also extremely good at frontal sieges. No wonder he is able to capture a city alone."
Li Qing smiled but did not respond.
More than ten minutes later, the defenders at the last gap were defeated. After asking Li Qing for instructions, the eight war lord apprentices excitedly led their troops into the scene to burn, kill and loot.
Li Qing was no exception and asked the three brothers Long Shou and Xie Zhu to take all the new recruits to participate in the massacre.
At least we can accumulate a lot of combat experience, which cannot be left behind.
Now both he and Long Shoulong Fa have been promoted to the fifth level, and they have a lot of fifth-level soldiers under their command, and the strength of several important subordinates also needs to be improved.
With their current level of strength, the next step is to start reaching the sixth-order extraordinary level.
But it is not easy to be promoted to the sixth-level extraordinary level, and there are not many of them. For a long time, the main force is still the fourth and fifth level troops.
Or it can be said that even if he is promoted to the legendary rank in the future and becomes a senior high-level war lord, his main arms will still be these fourth- and fifth-level arms.
Under normal circumstances, it is very difficult to obtain sixth-order troops, as they are the basic foundation on which the Throne of the Gods and the Throne of the Supreme Order rely for their rule, and are rarely deployed.
Therefore, if a normal war lord wants troops above level five in the future, or wants a large-scale legion of troops above level five, he must find a way to accumulate them on his own. It is unrealistic to expect to purchase them from the throne.
Li Qing planned to wait for a while, when he had accumulated enough resources, to transform An Erqiu and the three Xie brothers into dragon vein fighters to enhance their strength and potential.
Otherwise, with their ordinary backgrounds now, it would be difficult for them to be promoted to the sixth level, and their foundation is too poor. Even after being promoted to the sixth level, they would still be at the bottom, and they might not be able to defeat the snake-man swordsman in a one-on-one fight.
