Chapter 44 The Fortress of the Fortress

The small attic on the top of the drugstore is a practice room with a practice formation. This formation is said to increase the speed of practice and mask the breath of practice. It just requires the use of some kind of expensive jade, and this thing is difficult to buy. Zhao After inorganic research for several days, he successfully activated the formation using his own gold thunder talisman coins instead of jade. It seemed that reading more would be beneficial.

Zhao Wuji chose Zhao's secret book as an elective. This set of exercises is good at increasing the upper limit of the red indicator bar of physical fitness. The upper limit of the blue bar and water-colored bar is relatively limited. Zhao Wuji can practice in the formation as fast as the formation. It is three to five times that of other places, but the gold coins are also consumed a lot. The six hexagonal placement points are all used up in less than an hour after each placement of six gold coins. One day of practice consumes almost hundreds of gold coins. The overall feeling is It’s a bit more of a loss than a gain.

The situation in the fortress of Jiangnan is quite serious. Through the use of bats and domesticated air power, ants dismantled the heavy siege weapons and transported them by air, and then slowly assembled them. Judging from the initial appearance, it was a kind of fortress cannon, and It's bulky and heavy, and its appearance is quite inconspicuous, but it is estimated to be quite effective when used to bombard city defense formations.

Zhao Yun deployed various troops and generals to command the city defense army that was lurking in the Black Forest after the dwarf settlement was dispersed. He had already demolished two of the opponent's fortress cannons and gained time to strengthen the city defense during the war. However, the Black Forest The city defense troops inside have also been expelled to the other side of the Blackwater River where they can no longer pose a threat, and it is said that there are high-level monsters haunting the Black Forest. The troops outside the city can only protect themselves.

The war resources in the city are enough to last for more than ten years. Because the air pressure when fighting the barbarians is not great, the city defense formation does not need to be fully deployed. Therefore, even if it is bombarded by the fortress artillery, it can be sustained if only the city wall formation is strengthened. Even if The wall was broken, and the fortress built on the mountain was connected to the south of the Yangtze River. The entire moat surrounding the city was still within the coverage of the bows and arrows and other weapons of the second and third walls.

Although this moat is called a moat, it is actually a natural crack in the ground. Even if the first city wall is broken, it will not be easy to cross the moat. However, a broken wall is still not good and requires people and money to repair it.

After discussing with a group of staff, Zhao Yun decided to free up air defense capabilities to defend the city wall during the day, allowing the Demon Suppression Tower Guild and the Adventurer Guild to deal with attacks from the air, and then activate the large formation at night to get some rest.

After the war went on for more than half a month, the barbarian fortress artillery was finally able to successfully bombard the city wall. Under the mobilization of the formation master, the city defense array barely withstood the first round of attacks. Some of the city walls were hit because of the delay in mobilization. It was not completely shattered by the strong support of the mountain behind, and the barbarian charge was also blocked by the support of the second and third city walls.

The attacks from the air are getting worse day by day, and a kind of arrow called the electric hemp arrow is very popular in the hands of some demon hunters, which can make aerial powers like batmen suddenly anesthetized and lose their aerial ability, and fall directly. Then it was hit by random arrows from low-altitude adventurers and the army, and it was basically difficult to survive. However, it was said that there were not many of these electric hemp arrows in stock.

After practicing in the formation for more than ten days, Zhao Wuji's red indicator bar has doubled, the amount of electricity his body can withstand has more than doubled, and the arc formed has more than doubled in length.
