The garrison of Constantiniya huddled on the city wall in disgrace. Although citizens were recruited to help defend the city, due to the influence of the Black Death and the continuous attacks by the Alemanni coalition in the past few days, their number has been reduced to less than 2,000, which is less than the number of the Alemanni coalition. It's one to twenty.

Sue Cornelius Scipio ignored the raging Black Death and personally led the palace guards to the city wall. Something told him intuitively that this attack by the Alemanni coalition was no small matter.

There were piles of corpses inside and outside the city, including those of the Alemannic coalition and the Constantiniya defenders. The two months of siege should have exhausted both sides - Su couldn't understand why the Alemanni coalition, which had been dejected a few days ago, suddenly seemed to be on stimulants. After several rounds of crossbows, the Alemannic coalition had hundreds of casualties, but the soldiers who followed had no intention of retreating. They turned their bodies into corpses one after another and piled them under the city of Constantiniya.

Three siege towers that had been urgently repaired by the coalition forces slowly approached the city wall. Hiding near the siege towers can effectively avoid missing crossbows, but the crazy Alemanni coalition does not consider this at all now. Before these siege towers arrived, more than ten lightweight ladders had already crossed the mountain of corpses and The rain of arrows was held up to the city wall by the soldiers of the Alemannic coalition!

There was a shuddering roar in the distance. Dragoue flew past Constantinier and made an emergency landing on the Theodosian walls. She stood firm, opened her mouth, and a huge force overturned the scattered ladders on the city wall, and pushed down more than a dozen soldiers who were climbing on the ladders.

But this could not affect the situation of the battle at all. The overturned ladders were quickly raised up again - it is not difficult to make these ladders. As long as the soldiers' spears are connected and fixed, a simple ladder is enough. is finished. As long as the soldiers of the Alemannic coalition do not retreat, even if Drague breaks all these ladders, they will soon be able to launch a new round of attack.

While Draguet was busy dealing with these ladders, a siege tower was driven onto the city wall. Compared with ladders that can only be climbed one by one, siege towers are more threatening weapons for the defenders. They were protected by planks of wood, and the siege party could safely climb within the towers to level with the walls. The top of the tower has a springboard that can be pulled up and lowered like a city gate. When it is pulled up, it can prevent arrows from missing. Once the springboard is lowered, dozens of enemy troops gathered at the top of the tower will attack the city wall in groups.

"Priest of Apollo! This way!" Sue Cornelius Scipio shouted to Drague, "Tear down this siege tower!"

Drague waved his wings and flew over the defenders on the city wall, and soon reached the top of the siege tower. She had done this countless times in the past few days, overturning the siege tower. She didn't even wait for her body to fall to the same level as the siege tower, she directly pointed down at the top of the siege tower and released the dragon roar:

"Fus ro dah! (Don't give up!)"

A huge force poured down from the sky. Because it is tilted downward, the siege tower does not receive much horizontal force, but according to Drague's past experience, this is enough to overturn the siege tower of the Alemanni coalition.

However, this time, the siege tower remained motionless. Drague cast his gaze doubtfully to the back of the siege tower - the soldiers who were pushing the siege tower looked unusual. She didn't dare to be careless. After her body landed on the city wall, she immediately released the dragon roar again towards the siege tower: "Fus ro dah! (Unbreakable power!)"

At the same time, the voice of the Duke of Saxony sounded from under the siege tower: "Use all your strength - hold on!"

Under this siege tower is a twenty-man team composed of the "natural" level warriors. Amid the shouts of the Duke of Saxony, the ten warriors pushing the siege tower pressed their bodies against the siege tower, resisting the behemoth. This is the struggle between Draguet and these ten warriors. After a slight shaking, the siege tower stood still. These ten natural-level warriors relied on their own magic to block the impact of Drague's roar!

"Okay! Withstood it! Start attacking!"

After confirming that the siege tower would not collapse, the remaining ten warriors, including the Duke of Saxony and the Duke of Burgundy, took the lead in rushing into the siege tower. Another infantry phalanx in the rear followed them and began to attack the siege tower. Climb.

Drague unrelentingly releases the magic of "unrelievable power" again and again. As the soldiers climbed, the center of gravity of the siege tower continued to increase, and the siege tower shook more and more violently under the huge force. However, with the cooperation of the ten warriors below, Drague was still unable to bring the tower down. The siege tower was overturned.

It is difficult for an ordinary elf-level warrior to withstand the siege of five natural-level warriors. If you can gather fifty natural-level warriors, you might even have a chance to take down a great elf - in the war machine that mobilizes the elite power of the entire country, individual force is really just a drop in the ocean.

"Hurry and support the priests of Apollo!"

Sue Cornelius Scipio drove the palace guards around him. Different from the useless guards he assigned to Ella, there are more than ten warriors in this selected guard who have reached the natural level of protection. The royal family of the Qiqiu Empire, which lacks elf-level talents, takes advantage of it. Save. Su hurried for a while, but when he saw that the guards did not move, he shouted anxiously again:

"Leave me alone and go to the priest of Apollo! If anything happens to her, we will definitely die!"

"Don't come here! What you want to protect is not me, but the Theodosian Wall and Constantinople!"

Drague refused the support of Sue Cornelius. She temporarily stopped the release of magic, stared, puffed her mouth, and gathered all the strength in her body. The springboard of the siege tower was slowly lowered. The moment the enemy appeared in front of her, she roared out all the power she had gathered:

"yol toor shul! (breath of fire!)"

A ball of fire rolled forward. The ten natural-level Alemannic warriors were well prepared and worked together to block this wave of attacks. But they could block the flames, but the siege tower couldn't. The scattered flames quickly ignited the wooden siege tower. The sudden situation distracted the enemies standing on the top of the tower. Before they could react, Drague used magic again:

"feim zii gorn! (The ghost is gone!)"

Drague turned his body into a phantom, avoided the attack of the Alemanni soldiers, and rushed forward directly out of the siege tower. The wings behind her spread out as she rushed out of the siege tower, pulling her into the air. She danced in the air and gradually transformed into the shape of a dragon.

"yol toor shul! (breath of fire!)"

Drague in dragon form once again blew fire towards the siege tower. Her target from beginning to end was the siege tower itself. As long as the Alemanni coalition forces cannot continue to climb the city wall through this siege tower, the Alemanni soldiers who rush up the city wall alone will sooner or later be wiped out by the defenders!

Draguae fanned the fire with his wings, causing them to blaze on the siege towers. Soon after, she flapped her wings and hovered on the siege tower, preparing to release fire magic for the third time:

"yol too..."

But at this moment, a cold arrow suddenly flew from one side of the battlefield and inserted into her right eye without any bias.
