The western front of Cartagena was "stabilized" under Gurnison's operations.
Carl Ruth received Widnina's instructions and slowed down the advancement of the undead army, making the fight more stable.
During this period, only one undead behemoth was destroyed by the concentrated fire of several trebuchets. It was not one of the ones Vidnina particularly liked, so it didn't matter.
According to this trend, the undead army will linger in front of the last level of the fortress for two days, waiting until the time promised by Gurnison to hit the city wall.
Anyway, Widnina is not afraid of Genison deceiving her. The fifth-level dark magic and dark oath are not so easy to lift. Even the Great Mage of Light has to work hard.
The Orc Alliance cannot have a Great Mage of Light.
Of course, she didn't expect to completely control Gnison with just one magic. When the time came, she would enter the city if she could, and if she couldn't, she would fight. Her treasures were all there, and Widnina didn't know what to be afraid of.
It’s just... so troublesome!
——When you get home, you must ask for more reward from the annoying Sandro, at least half of this reward!
While Widnina was thinking this, she got into the mobile palace on the back of the undead mammoth, put on a pair of pajamas, and prepared to have a good sleep.
Just as she was about to close her eyes, she saw a vine coming in, with a beautiful little flower blooming on it.
Widnina plucked the flowers and clamped them to her ears.
The ones advancing really steadily are the Dwarves of Solitude, north of Cartagena.
After a hard fight with the elite Black Orc troops, the Lonely Peak dwarf army suffered heavy casualties.
Dwarves are short in stature and charge slower when attacking a city. They also need more steps to climb the city wall. They are exposed to enemy fire for a longer period of time and are more dangerous.
If the dwarf army, which has only a small number of people, attacks the city by force, there may not be many people left after breaking through the city wall.
But the talents of the dwarves are not just in mining and forging. Their technological level is the best in the world.
Strange to say, among the intelligent races in the world of Hess, the elves must have the highest intelligence, followed by the vampires, humans and sea races tied for third, and the dwarves can only be ranked fifth.
But it just so happens that this race with the fifth highest level of intelligence has the highest technological level. The reason may be that their stubborn temper and concentration in doing things rank first among all races.
The highest technological power of the dwarves is at the Sacred Peak in the north of the Hess continent. Lonely Peak is good at forging weapons and armor. The technological level is a bit lower, but it is still no problem to bring out a few cannons.
Mortars are the most typical and common artillery of the dwarves.
The mortar has a short body and a relatively simple structure. It can be made into a giant mortar or a light mortar that can be perfectly operated by only three people.
Light mortars are easy to transport and can keep up with heavy armored infantry. They are the main siege weapons and long-range strike weapons of the dwarves.
Due to the short barrel of the mortar, its range is relatively short, and the angle of the projectile fired is extremely high. Therefore, it is not easy to hit the target accurately.
The accuracy is not enough for the firepower, but the mortar's shells are extremely powerful. It is very easy to destroy the city wall without special magic array protection. If it falls in a group of enemies, it will eliminate the enemies in groups.
In addition to mortars, dwarves also have cannons.
The characteristics of a cannon are almost the opposite of those of a mortar. It has a long barrel, a low firing angle, a long range, and high accuracy.
Although its power is not as terrifying as a mortar, it is a sharp weapon for accurately striking city walls, and its lethality against giant beasts is equally astonishing.
If the Thundertusk, Stonehorn, or Giant
.Ь. If the humans go to fight the dwarves, it is estimated that at least half of the troops will die under the bombardment of cannons.
The most powerful cannon of the dwarves is called the Thunder Cannon. This is the highest technological product of the dwarves in artillery. It is named because the sound of the cannon being fired and exploded is like the roar of thunder.
The thunder cannons on the fortress-type tarantula were obtained by Ofina with great effort. After getting the thunder cannon, she dismantled one of them overnight, and with the ingenuity of a young girl, she almost failed to put it back together.
The manufacturing technology of Thunder Cannon is mastered in the Holy Peak
In the hands of dwarves, the dwarves of Lonely Peak cannot make it.
But it doesn't matter. To blow down the orcs' fortress walls doesn't require the use of thunder cannons.
The Lonely Peak dwarves have twenty-eight mortars and fifteen cannons, with sufficient firepower.
The shooting range of the mortar is shorter than that of the cannon, and its bombardment range is much farther than that of the heavy trebuchet. After all, the trebuchet relies on the gravity of heavy objects to provide power, while the mortar relies on the violent combustion of gunpowder to generate thrust. Not comparable.
The longest range of the dwarf mortar can reach three kilometers, and the cannon can reach six kilometers. Now the artillery is located at a safe position of two kilometers, dumping cannonballs towards the fortress group. XiuShu.com
The dwarves only started their siege yesterday afternoon. By evening, the first level of the fortress was completely destroyed. The efficiency was staggering.
The orcs really didn't have a good way to deal with it for a while. They could only faintly see the muzzle fire when the artillery was fired. They wanted to rely on trebuchets to bombard them, but the range was too far apart and they couldn't hit it at all.
The best way to destroy artillery is to attack with mobile units, either air force or cavalry units.
But the dwarf army is probably the infantry unit in the world that is least afraid of cavalry attacks. There is a group of tightly formed iron cans blocking the artillery, and the orc boar cavalry and goblin wolf knights have no chance of approaching the artillery.
The dwarves do not have an air force, so using the air force to forcefully destroy the artillery is a very good choice.
The problem is that the Orc Alliance's air force has suffered very heavy losses, and after the death of "Holy Manticore Lord" Olysma and the Manticore King, the manticores, the main force of the air force, are not very obedient.
Under such circumstances, after the first few forts with their walls and people were blown to pieces, the orcs had no choice but to withdraw the defenders in the fort early and watch helplessly as the first level of the fort was completely blown away.
Then at night the dwarves ceased fire.
The barrel of the artillery needs maintenance, and they are the side with a huge advantage and are not in a hurry.
At dawn the next day, the dwarves set up their cannons and continued their attack.
The commander of the orcs in the north is an ordinary martial saint who is not among the seven war gods, named Krog.
His strength is not much different from that of the dead "Euphorbian" Kilgor, the last of the Seven Gods of War. If he is still alive after the war, he will be promoted properly.
Krog has no way to deal with the dwarf artillery, so he takes the initiative? Just kidding, he can't defeat the powerful Dwarf King of Lonely Peak "Stoneheart" Malkem.
Kroger could only stand at the top of the city and silently calculate the remaining time for the shells to fall on the walls of Cartagena, and came up with a number: four hours.
He calculated again how long the city wall would last, sighed and shook his head.
Can't survive today.
In order to prevent the northern battlefield from being the first to be breached, Krog planned to go to Warchief Gruul for help. If he wanted to prevent the city from being breached, he had to use thunder to destroy the dwarf artillery positions.
In other words, a lot of strong thugs are needed.
Just as Krog was about to leave, there was a wave of space in front of him, and several figures walked out of the space door.
The first one was the Hongyuan woman he coveted, Xi Kong.
Most orcs would speak out if they have desires. Even though the other party was much stronger than him, Krog's eyes were still very fiery.
Xi Kong glanced at him and thought it was ridiculous, so he laughed softly.
"Haha, Krog, you have to work hard if you want to date me."
"Can I skip the appointment?" Kroger asked.
Xi Kong's smile became more and more dangerous.
"Okay, I choose to work hard. Did the chief ask you to come here?"
"No, your war chief is fighting hard and has no time. I'm here to deal with the trouble."
"It is indeed very troublesome. The dwarf artillery is too powerful. If we don't deal with it, the city wall will be blown down within today." Krog expressed his judgment.
"I know, follow me later."
"Ready to serve."
Minutes before Xi Kong found Krog.
Accompanied by the roar of artillery, Malkem laughed loudly: "Haha
Ha, Xander, are our Lonely Peak's cannons powerful? "
"Fierce! So fierce!" Xander praised repeatedly, and then whispered to a flower.
"Sander, if you don't see such a spectacular bombardment, why are you holding a flower and talking about it? It's really strange. How can there be flowers in this wasteland?"
Xander straightened his back and said with a bright smile, "How beautiful these flowers are."
"If you weren't as tall as me, I'd really wonder if you were a dwarf!" Malkem said scornfully, "I feel better when I pick up a flower than after drinking a few large glasses of beer. What a sissy!"
Shan Dehun didn't care and continued talking to Hua'er.
"Hey, after the orc city wall is destroyed today, do we still have to wait for other places to attack the city together?"
"Of course, it will be difficult to capture Cartagena with just us dwarves."
"Hmph, my dwarves from Lonely Peak are so brave and invincible, how come they can't take down a city made of orcs?" Malkaim patted his chest, which was full of muscles, and said arrogantly.
Sander quickly advised: "I believe that the dwarf army can win under your leadership, but you don't want the dwarf brothers to suffer too many casualties, right? If they are willing to follow you, you have the obligation to bring them back to Lonely Peak. "
Malkaim smoothed his beard, which was tied into several braids, and nodded: "What you said makes sense, but can humans do it? And there are skeletons attacking the city to the west, right? Can that be done?"
"According to reliable information, both humans and the undead army have made good progress. Although it is estimated that it will be difficult to break through the city gate today, we will definitely be able to break through the city wall by tomorrow night at the latest."
"What news? Why didn't I see you received the news?"
Xander put away the flowers and said with a smile: "Keep it a secret. If you want to know, I'll tell you next time I win."
"Haha, this day won't be too far away!" Malkem was full of fighting spirit.
"But Shan De, what is this...the Gate of Holy Descending, is it really as evil as you say?"
"Of course, I'm not exaggerating at all. If you can lead the army on an expedition, you are really saving the world!"
"Haha, saving the world is pretty easy... Hey, do you feel the ground shaking?"
As soon as Malkem finished speaking, his expression suddenly changed and he shouted: "All artillery units retreat immediately!"
The earthquake in the earth became more and more obvious, and Malkem and Xander immediately flew into the sky.
There are almost no earthquakes in the rocky desert wasteland. The only thing that can cause such a strange phenomenon is that something big is drilling out from the ground!
"Boom!"
Accompanied by a loud and lasting sound of ground cracking, a huge alien beast emerged from the ground.
