As Draguet fell, Ella almost flew out of Draguet. Even if she tied herself to Draguet with a rope, the force of the fall would be enough to shatter her into pieces. Fortunately, Drague struggled and patted his injured wings before landing, which slowed down the force of the fall and allowed the two of them to fall to the ground safely.
As soon as she landed, Ella hurriedly cut open her body with a knife, climbed down from Drague's back, and checked Drague's injuries on the ground: "How is it? Can you still hold on?"
"It's nothing serious, let's continue."
Although Drague said this, his voice was extremely painful. But both she and Ella understood that now was not the time to back down. She lay on the ground and gasped for a few times, then slowly but firmly supported her body.
But at this moment, a cold metallic light suddenly reflected in the direction of the city wall. Drague's body shook and he pushed Ella away from him. The next moment, hundreds of crossbow arrows hit its body!
Ella screamed, and after firing a wave of crossbow arrows, she rolled and crawled and hid behind Drague. These crossbow bolts came from the walls of Theodosian Walls. In the middle of the thick stone, there are hundreds of holes for shooting. What was placed behind the hole was not a hand-held crossbow, but a powerful scorpion crossbow. Compared with the giant crossbow on the city wall, its arrow loss is much smaller, but its shooting speed is amazing. As soon as Ella climbed behind Draguet, the second wave of crossbow arrows was fired, with only about ten seconds between them. Ella is very familiar with the performance of these crossbows on the walls of Theodosius. It takes several minutes to load the giant crossbows on the walls, but these scorpion crossbows can fire five rounds in one minute!
The power of these small crossbows was not enough to penetrate the dragon scales on Drague's body, but under the rapid fire, various soft parts of Drague's body were injured one after another. Drague wanted to blow away these crossbows with dragon roar, but the waves of pain prevented her from shouting a formed spell for a long time. Not long after, Drague's body became dripping with blood.
"Drague, hold on!" Ella shouted behind Drague, "As long as Berengar throws the Spear of Longinus, our goal will be achieved!"
"Fus——ro dah! (Unrelieved)"
Drague finally blew away the crossbow bolts fired at it. Then, at the top of his lungs, he shouted:
"Don't worry, it's just a skin injury! Yin Ben Xina penetrated my heart, but he couldn't kill me!"
The crossbow arrows fired at them suddenly stopped. Ella had a premonition of something, pulled Drague's leg and shouted: "Hurry up, fly up quickly!"
"The right wing hurts," Draguet gasped. "Let me take it easy just a little while."
As soon as Drague's voice fell, a huge "creak, creak" sound came from the direction of the city wall. Ella raised her head. Behind the tall city wall, there appeared more than ten instruments that were taller than the city wall. They were wider at the bottom and narrower at the top. They were triangular in shape, and a huge arm extended outward from the top - this It is another masterpiece of Seven Hills Empire engineering, the winch crane. The Empire of the Seven Hills used these materials to build the impregnable Theodosian Walls.
These more than ten cranes are like more than ten giants walking side by side, making huge noises every time they take a step. They walked behind the city wall and stopped with a "snort". After a brief silence, they turned their thick arms behind them and began to pick something up from the ground.
Ella became more and more panicked: "Drague, come on, grit your teeth, fly a little higher, just a little bit, you can do it!"
Compared with the cranes that Ella asked the pirates to imitate after drawing the blueprints, the cranes that appeared behind the city wall were much higher in lifting capacity and stability. Just as Ella was cheering for Drague, more than a dozen huge 'cargoes' were being slowly pulled by those thick cranes to the same height as the city wall - they were marble stones cut into cylindrical shapes. , each piece is about the size of a small battleship. Pulled by the crane arm, these stones slowly and steadily poked out of the city wall.
"Quick!" Ella screamed, "Drague, fly!"
The steel cables holding the stones were loosened, and the dozen or so huge stones fell heavily to the ground. The huge impact caused the entire earth to shake slightly. The land outside the city wall was deliberately cut into an outward slope. As soon as these cylindrical stones fell to the ground, they immediately pressed towards Drague.
Few armies can withstand this round of rolling stones without retreating. Elf-level magicians may be able to smash one or two of them, but the remaining rolling stones can still cause considerable damage to the enemy. If there are enemy camps in the direction of the rolling stone, even half of these camps will be crushed instantly.
"Fus——ro dah! (Unrelieved)"
Drague was unable to take off and could only use magic again, but this only slightly slowed down the speed of the rolling stone. At the critical moment, Drague finally gritted his teeth and pulled Ella to fly. But as soon as the rock rolled past, it fell back to the ground again.
"Sure enough, it's too much to rely on us alone." Ella gritted her teeth, "Drague, if you can't hold on, run away quickly!"
"No, it's okay, we've survived it all." Drague's breath was extremely heavy, but he still persisted, "As long as the other side throws the Spear of Longinus, we will win."
There was another loud sound, and in Ella's livid child's eyes, a monster-like machine that was higher than the crane came to the edge of the city wall. It also had a thick crane, but it was tilted upward. , the rest of the structure is also very different from the crane. It stretched the boom out of the city wall, revealing a huge steel hook mounted under the boom.
"This, this is, designed by Archimedes to overturn large warships..."
Before he finished speaking, the huge crane leaning upward suddenly started to rotate. It is said to be rotating, but in fact it is falling diagonally downward. This gave the jib a lateral speed unreachable by a normal crane, allowing the huge steel hook to sweep quickly towards Draguet.
The hook slammed into Draguet and penetrated its body. Amid Drague's screams, the machine turned into a heavy machine and slowly lifted up diagonally in the same direction, pulling Drague up at the same time.
Amid the heart-rending screams, Drague struggled desperately. This device is used to overturn the warship, but it cannot actually lift the warship. The steel cable could not withstand Drague's struggle and broke. Then Draguet fell heavily back to the ground.
But this time it was hit hard and it was already dying.
The city gate is open. Amid loud orders and neat steps, the heavily armed Guards slowly approached Draguet.
