"Christian, the legion that just attacked the city has been repulsed."
"The tentative siege we organized encountered a fierce counterattack. Under the city, we lost all the siege troops in the trenches for the balance attack."
"The defense strength within the northern defense line far exceeds the military fortresses we encountered before."
"According to the information obtained from the investigation, there are ten high-level legions inside."
"Except for the golden-quality magic crystal gun infantry regiment, the thorn flower magic pattern knights, and the magic crystal cannon regiment we encountered in the wild."
"There are four more orange and three purple legions."
"The Orange Legion includes constructed infantry who can fight with ten-meter-long spears, constructed archers who control repeating giant crossbows, two-handed sword infantry wearing magic pattern armor, and gryphon knights in the sky."
"The Purple Legion consists of auxiliary units, mainly field doctors who master healing magic, magic sentries that can control biological detection, and hired wandering mage camps that can cast spells."
"Among these legions, there is no doubt that the three golden legions have the strongest combat effectiveness."
"But in the opponent's counterattack just now, these three golden legions did not appear on the city wall."
"We did not encounter attacks from magic crystal cannons or magic crystal guns, nor did we see the magic pattern knight holding up the thorn flower shield."
"The ones attacking us on the city wall are mainly constructed archers."
"The constructs they control have extremely poor combat effectiveness in the wild."
"But when it comes to defending the city, its power is no weaker than that of the Magic Crystal Spear Infantry Regiment."
"Those giant crossbows loaded on the constructs should have used goblin technology. Every time they are fired, they can automatically draw the bow string with the help of potential energy, which allows the giant crossbow to achieve rapid and continuous shooting."
"And on the city wall, there is an arrow box specially configured for the construct archers, which can ensure that the construct archers can shoot uninterrupted."
"Because of the limitation of the height of the city wall, we have to attack from above to hit it. However, the movement of the construct archer is not as slow as in the wild. It seems that it can move quickly within the city wall, and its speed is no less than that of a flexible Swordsman."
"Every time Helen tried to use the wind mage to launch wind blades to counterattack, the effect was not ideal. One or two wind blades could not cut through the construct."
"But most of the wind blades were dodged."
"Helen then focused on wind mages and carried out a short-term covering strike, temporarily suppressing the counterattack of some archers on a section of the city wall."
"But when our original Blood Forest giant approached the city wall and tried to use its huge size to climb in."
"Inside the city wall, he is holding a spear that is three arms thick and 20 meters long, and is supported by the structure's machinery."
"With a swift thrust, it penetrated into the head of the original Blood Forest giant."
"The original Blood Forest giant that could easily withstand weapon damage."
"He was stabbed to death easily by the spear of the infantry."
"And even if he doesn't die at once, other infantrymen wearing structures will follow and swarm forward, stabbing him with dozens of spears."
"The original Blood Forest giants didn't resist at all, and they all died on the city wall."
"And their only role is to use their bodies to build a passage leading to the city wall."
"Then I tried to send sword and shield infantry and guardian knights to rush up the wall."
"With its short size, it is able to dodge spear attacks."
"but!"
"The pikemen assisted by the constructs are extremely flexible and can easily fly away the soldiers trying to board the city. Even those who rushed to the city wall got rid of the fear of being equipped with the pikes of the constructed infantry. They then ushered in another attack. Two-handed sword infantry wearing magic pattern armor. Although the magic pattern armor on these infantry is not as powerful as the Thorn Flower Knight, it allows these two-handed sword infantry to easily kill our soldiers who board the city, even if they can kill them in a short while. If you don't die, you will be swarmed by infantry with two-handed swords and hacked to death with random swords."
"None of our soldiers on the city wall can survive more than ten seconds."
"And in the air, the orange griffon knights guarding the city blocked our reconnaissance and attack."
"I want to get results from the air."
"Every time a gryphon knight flies over, they will be blocked by a number of gryphon knights several times their number."
"At the same time, the constructed giant crossbows on the ground will also counterattack in the air."
"Even our sword gryphon knight is stronger than the opponent."
"But near the city wall, they still retreated."
"So much so that we can't move forward for investigation."
"The only ones who can go deep are the golden Dragon Eagle Knights."
"But as soon as the Dragon Eagle Knight went deeper, he felt the threat of the magic crystal cannon."
"We can only choose to retreat temporarily. After all, the number of Dragon Eagle Knights is scarce."
"It's also difficult to produce, so I don't dare to consume it wantonly."
"According to the reaction of the Dragon Eagle Knights who returned, all the magic crystal cannons in the city should be ambushed in the dark."
"But it can build a powerful firepower network in the sky."
"If they go deep inside, they will definitely die."
"For these reasons, our experimental attack progress was fruitless."
"Christian, the shield is only the outermost defense of this city."
"The strength of its internal military units is far beyond our imagination."
"If we want to rely on conventional forces to take down the northern defense line, I don't think we can do it even if all of our current troops die."
"And because of the threat of the magic crystal cannon, even if our heroes attack together, it is likely that there will not be much results."
"Unless we can destroy all the magic crystal cannons in the city."
"If you can't do it!"
"I suggest."
"Use the forbidden spell directly to destroy all the defenders in the northern defense line."
"Anyway, Lilith's forbidden spell has been restored."
"It can be used directly."
In the camp, Vivian, who was in charge of the siege vanguard, talked about the battle report and her own suggestions.
And when Christian heard the suggestion of releasing the forbidden spell.
She said after pacing for a moment.
"Lilith, if you use the current forbidden spell."
"How long does it take to recover?"
Lilith thought for a moment and replied.
"Use three times in one day."
"It will take at least more than a hundred days to recover."
"After using it this time, no matter whether it is the fire phoenix or the stinky woman's skills, they will not be able to restore my forbidden curse."
It takes so long to hear.
Christian's face was obviously hesitant.
"The recovery time of the forbidden curse is too long."
"Your Excellency, there will definitely be a big battle to fight in the future."
"If all Lilith's forbidden spells are consumed here."
"Then for the next large-scale offensive forbidden spell by the lord, only two scrolls are left."
"One of them is a dark gold-level scroll."
"This is really embarrassing for the Lord."
"It will greatly slow down the next attack plan."
"Lilith's forbidden spell, I think it should be retained."
"As for this northern defense line."
"Use the human sea tactics directly!"
Hear Christian's words.
The surrounding heroes all looked surprised.
Aria said directly.
"Christian, we don't have many troops to use human wave tactics."
Then other heroes also objected.
"Yes, Christian, we are not undead. Soldiers are all skeletons. As long as we have magic power, we can be resurrected infinitely."
"Christian, do you want to use gray dwarves?"
"But these dwarves are not good at siege. Even if they are invincible, they can still be thrown down."
"Besides, the gray dwarves in Blackwater City are almost exhausted now."
"The remaining gray dwarves are simply not enough for us to consume."
"Do you want to use the coalition forces of the Four Alliances?"
"They don't have too many troops."
"We can't support the human wave tactic."
"I think this matter needs to be considered carefully. Even if you want to, the Lord's financial resources cannot support the human wave tactic."
"One more thing, Christian, the reason why the northern defense line can be called a defense line."
"It's because there are many walls inside."
"Each city wall is slowly connected to build this line of defense."
"In other words, even if you have a million troops and break through the first line of defense, the defenders inside can still retreat to the second line of defense, the third line of defense, etc."
"It is very difficult to break through the northern defense line by relying on human sea tactics."
"The number of soldiers needed is absolutely an astronomical figure."
Christian nodded in agreement with all these suggestions.
Finally, there was a reminder to Aria, marked directly on the map.
Then he took out a fish scale that shone with silver light.
"The lord gave it to me to summon a murloc sacrifice."
"This priest can continuously summon fishmen from the corpse to fight through parasitism."
"The fishmen themselves are long-range attack units, and their attacks contain poison."
Lilith said after staring at the fish scales for a moment.
"Theoretically it's possible."
"But Christian, the fishman's power is not unlimited!"
"The fish-men's parasitism requires mana."
Lilith's words hit the nail on the head.
If this problem is not solved, all tactics will be out of the question.
The final victory over the northern fortress still depends on Lilith's forbidden spell.
But Christian said calmly.
"Do you still remember the Silver Wolf wine that the lord brought back from the secret realm?"
Vivian asked with some confusion.
"Silver Wolf Wine, the useful one is the orange prop. I have given it to you to restore Lilith's magic power. The rest are ordinary items and have no function of restoring magic power."
Christian shook his head.
"No!"
"It has the function of restoring magic power."
"But it only works on monsters."
"Before coming here, I specifically requested to check out these wines."
"It's also because of this that the lord didn't pay much attention to it and planned to take the Blue Star back and sell it."
"I stopped him."
"Now, send someone to transport these Silver Wolf wines."
"Specially used for fish-men sacrifices."
"He will continue to parasitize corpses and give birth to fish-men to fight."
"In other words, as long as we have a large number of corpses, we can have an inexhaustible source of troops."
"According to my experience, fish-men's parasitism usually does not involve just one fish-man."
"This kind of creature gives birth to babies in large litters."
"So, dozens of fish-men may be born from one corpse."
"Vivian, how many bodies of dead soldiers were collected in the previous battles?"
Regarding this question, Vivian pondered for a moment and then said.
"Including the eight military fortresses, there are hundreds of thousands."
"However, in the subsequent battle on the small plain, most of the corpses were destroyed by the forbidden curse."
"Only in the passage, there are still thousands left."
Christian nodded.
"enough."
"And as the battle continues, we can get a steady stream of replenishments."
"As long as you have enough magic power, you can get an inexhaustible supply of fishmen."
"These fishmen only need to fire one volley to kill a defender, and we all make money."
At this time, the heroes around heard Christian's words.
Finally, he showed a look of understanding.
"Use these murloc cannon fodder to consume, wait until the enemy is almost exhausted, and then organize a wave of elites to rush directly to the city wall."
"The reason why this northern defense line could not be breached was because it had the support of the entire Gondor."
"Now!"
"After losing the support, this is an isolated city. No matter how strong it is, it is not difficult to take it."
"And don't forget."
"In addition to having strong soldiers, we are also very strong."
"Wait until the location of the magic crystal cannon in the city is determined."
"Organize all the heroes directly, raid into the city from the air, and destroy the magic crystal cannon position."
"Without the magic crystal cannon to deter us, what else can restrain us in the city?"
Christian spoke again.
Then everyone suddenly became enlightened.
Aria said.
"good."
"As far as I know, there is at most one legend stationed in the northern defense line."
"But there is a teleportation array that can connect to the royal capital and can teleport a demigod to the northern defense line to assist in the defense."
"It's just a demigod, not of much use."
"And now is the era of great destruction. It is still unknown whether this teleportation array will be useful."
"And I guess there is a high probability that it will be useless."
"Otherwise, with the command of a demigod, the legion defending the city would not be able to watch us successfully break through the protective barrier."
Christian agrees.
Then he said.
"Then follow this plan."
"Come here, return to the wilderness territory quickly and ask the lord for support from Silver Wolf Wine."
"At the same time, I apply to the lord to make up for the 20,000 flame magicians lost in the battle."
"Replenish 20,000 war priests as elites to destroy the city."
"Additional 10,000, plus the existing 10,000 Griffin Knights, a total of 20,000 will serve as the main force to break through the air defense line."
"Add 2,000 Dragon Eagle Knights, plus the existing 3,000, for a total of five thousand, as the main force to attack the enemy's ground elites."
"In addition, Aria, you take all the guardian knights to the south immediately and take over the war fortress in the south."
"The war has been going on now. Normally, support from Harvest City and the Royal Capital of Gondor should have arrived."
"As you command!"
And when Aria left, Christian spoke again.
"Vivian, go urge the Four Alliance forces."
"We must rush to the battlefield this afternoon to help launch the attack."
"Otherwise, all military merit will be deducted."
"Report to the lord for punishment."
"As you command!"
