Lord of the Myriad Worlds

Chapter 479: Siege

Exactly six o'clock in the morning.

A fierce gale suddenly blew in the sky; their own Spellcasters had begun their counterattack.

When this terrifying gale first formed, it was like a level twelve hurricane. It howled continuously for ten minutes in one breath, directly blowing away the blizzard, causing the Clouds Parting, and leaving Next to Nothing of the accumulated snow on the ground. Then the sun came out, Radiating Golden Light.

Li Wei and the others watched, Dumbfounded and deeply shocked. This was also a Sequence Four magic, and its power seemed even more formidable than the Sandstorm of that Stone Troll Leader, because the area cleared by this gale spanned a full two to three hundred kilometers.

"Wooooo!"

The majestic sound of the horn blew, and Mountain Eagle Parker's two thousand soldiers marched out of the camp in formation.

On Li Wei's side, he also led everyone to assemble around those three Siege Transports. These things not only had miraculous effects during a Siege, but their effectiveness in field battles was also quite good.

Li Wei originally thought Mountain Eagle Parker's side would be Green with Envy. However, in the next moment, the Artisans on their side also began assembling rapidly. They also used modular components, and their craftsmanship was equally good, if not of better quality.

Moreover, the Siege Transports on Li Wei's side could only be pushed by human power, while the other side surprisingly used Mana to drive them. Furthermore, the external baffles of their transports were even inscribed with Sequence Two magical structures.

Well, no one was a fool; this was the art of war.In less than an hour, Mountain Eagle Parker's side had assembled fifteen Siege Transports. Not only could each of these transports carry eighty people, but they could also mount Enchanted Siege Ballistae and tow Enchanted Catapults.

At this time, following an order, the Siege Transports began to advance slowly. The speed on Li Wei's side was very slow; advancing twenty kilometers per hour was already good, but the speed on the other side could even reach forty kilometers per hour.

Sigh.

Fortunately, the problem wasn't big.

Moreover, Li Wei and his people could just follow behind, saving them even the trouble of clearing a path.

Just like this, over an hour later, they smoothly arrived at the Siege Battlefield, a place ten li away from Kahndorf's Fortress. This place was outside the maximum range of the Enchanted Ballistae, and even further beyond the maximum distance of the Fireball attacks from the Magic Power Mines.

"Brother Li Wei, in a moment, our Legion will launch an attack from the front, and you need to launch an attack from The Flank. We don't ask you to attack bravely, but you must ensure coordination with our attack echelon. These are all written in the Mercenary Contract. I hope you won't go back on your word; after all, our commander's patience is limited."

Before the battle began, the Scruffy Giant ran over again to specifically instruct Li Wei and point out the attack route to him. It was indeed a Flank auxiliary attack.

In this regard, Mountain Eagle Parker seemed to be reasonable; everything appeared to be strictly business. After all, this was a Siege, and any extra bit of strength was good.

Li Wei agreed right away. At this very moment, there was no need to think about anything else, just coordinate with the Siege.

In this Siege, he was a supporting character, a minor supporting character!

"Wooooo!"

The majestic sound of the horn rang out again. Surprisingly, the rumbling sound of war drums also sounded from within Mountain Eagle Parker's military formation. Immediately after, hundreds of soldiers were seen, each holding a strange Stone Crate, rushing to the front and throwing them forward. The moment the crates shattered, bizarre things sprang out from inside. No, stone golems?

Still not right, these looked like statues—Gargoyles, holy shit!

That's right, it was these things. These Gargoyles, totaling around five hundred, formed five lines and charged forward rapidly.

Their bodies were heavy, resembling five-meter-tall stone giants. The moment they walked across the ground, they instantly triggered a large number of pre-buried Traps.

Among them were many 3-Star Magic Traps: Wind Blades, Ice Blades, Fireballs, Ground Spikes, and poisonous vines, dazzling the eyes.

If an ordinary Legion charged over, they would definitely suffer heavy casualties, but these were Gargoyles, as hard as steel, entirely unaffected.

One had to say, this wave was truly awesome.

As the Gargoyles opened up an attack route, the Siege Transports of the Mountain Eagle Legion also began to start slowly, entering the field one after another, with a hundred meters of spacing between each one.

Then at the same time, under the cover of these Siege Transports, some Rangers from the Mountain Eagle Legion began dismantling and recovering Traps along both sides of the road.

Li Wei watched carefully. There were fifty people in total who could recover Traps. Ten of them were Tier-3 Rangers who could sense the locations of the Traps and were responsible for marking the ordinary one-star and Two-Star Traps. The remaining advanced Traps were recovered by them personally, and they were quite skilled.

However, at this time, Kahndorf's counterattack also arrived. The sound of the Enchanted Ballistae firing was like a beer bottle being popped in an extremely distant place, and then one could see brilliant magic forming false afterimages in midair; it was very beautiful.

But while people were focusing on these beautiful afterimages, giant Ballista Bolts, continuously buffed by the launching force of Mana, crossed the wide Wilderness at nearly three times the speed of sound, overturning and shattering the Gargoyles one by one. On average, three shots could destroy one Gargoyle.

However, the firing speed of the Enchanted Ballistae wasn't that fast, and there were only over two hundred Enchanted Ballistae in Kahndorf Fortress. Even if they destroyed a portion of the Gargoyles, the destruction and triggering of the Traps continued, advancing at a speed of forty kilometers per hour.

Including the Siege Transports.

And right at this time, from within Kahndorf Fortress, three Great Fireballs ascended into the sky with a series of bangs. It was unknown whether these were Flame Meteors launched by a Tier-4 Mage or Great Fireballs launched from a Magic Power Mine, but their power was clearly extraordinary, and their speed was also quite fast, smashing down towards a Siege Transport.

In the blink of an eye, the three Great Fireballs landed. The first two missed by a hair's breadth, but the third hit dead on. That Siege Transport jolted violently, a magical light faintly flashed on it, and it actually withstood the blow.

"Li Wei! What are you still waiting for?!"

In the distance, the Scruffy Giant roared, and then he also jumped onto a Siege Transport.

"Thomas!"

Li Wei roared loudly. Thomas directly transformed into a Stone Giant and charged into the Battlefield two hundred meters to the left of the Mountain Eagle Legion's attack route. In his hands, he dragged a massive chain bound with a dozen or so logs; this was a simplified Trap Trigger.

In the blink of an eye, amidst crackling and rumbling, a Trap Zone a full fifty to sixty meters wide was triggered, the scene looking somewhat spectacular.

Almost at the same time, a Siege Transport pushed by human power also charged into the Battlefield.

Li Wei simultaneously appeared on one side of the Siege Transport. He held a 5-Star Enchanted Tower Shield in one hand, while his other hand was still able to rapidly dismantle untriggered Traps nearby; never forgetting to earn some extra income.

Speaking of which, over these years, he had plucked nearly thirty thousand Traps from the Neanderthals alone. Looking at it now, this Trap array was still very formidable.

It was extremely effective against small and medium-scale enemy forces.

See, in just one minute, Li Wei had already dismantled twelve 3-Star Magic Traps. Good stuff. There was no need to bother with the one-star and Two-Star Traps. Given that everyone was currently wearing Heavy Armor, those couldn't even break their defense.

"Holy shit! Fireball attack! Accelerate forward!"

Li Wei shouted at the top of his lungs, but it was still useless, because what flew over were three Great Fireballs. Who knows whether the Spellcasters of Kahndorf in the city had their brains cramped or just liked bullying the weak, but they came straight for their first Siege Transport.

But even with Li Wei accurately predicting the location, it was useless. This thing was too heavy. In the blink of an eye, one Great Fireball missed, and the other two Great Fireballs solidly blasted the first Siege Transport.

"Boom! Boom!"

Amidst the massive explosions, the entire transport directly anchored and deformed, igniting into a raging fire. Fortunately, the soldiers and Artisans inside were not hurt. A group of people ran out from inside in an extremely sorry state, and ran towards the rear as fast as their legs could carry them!

Some of them even had flames burning on them.

"Run! Run!"

"Whoosh!"

Someone's luck was bad, and they were pierced through by a giant Ballista Bolt. Even Four-Star Enchanted Heavy Armor couldn't withstand a Ballista Bolt traveling at three times the speed of sound; it directly blasted the soul right out of them.

But there were only two such unlucky bastards. The rest still managed to use all their strength to escape behind the second Siege Transport.

Too weak, too sorry of a state.

The Siege Transports of the Mountain Eagle Legion could consecutively withstand five Great Fireballs, while this one couldn't even withstand two.

This scene caused the commanders of both the enemy and allied sides to faintly reveal a knowing smile. Stragglers and Remnants, nothing more.

No one noticed that Li Wei had, at some unknown point, slipped into that blazing transport. With a casual toss, he threw out over twenty dull Fire Crystals. These things had already exhausted the Mana inside them, but by a fortuitous chance, a soldier discovered that throwing these Mana-exhausted Fire Crystals into a fire could actually recharge them.

This made things different.

They possessed a higher strategic value.

For example, at this moment, no matter how awesome Li Wei was, no matter if he had 50% Fire Resistance, it would be impossible for him to withstand such intense flames and high temperatures.

However, with those twenty-plus Fire Crystals, the effect was immediately different.

Of course, this would still be fatal for Ordinary People, and suicidal for many Class Holders.

Just the terrifying high temperatures and the burning smoke would be enough to cause serious suffering.

Li Wei was also Bracing Oneself and enduring it by force, while simultaneously rapidly deploying and assembling an Enchanted Giant Ballista inside, because he had seized a slight tactical opportunity.

Yes, +17 Perception was enough for him to cover the entire Battlefield. Coupled with the assistance of Adai, who had already flown to an altitude of twenty thousand meters, it was comparable to having a commander's field of vision.

Of course, both the enemy and allied sides naturally wouldn't ignore this battlefield in the sky. The Druids from both sides had already been fighting in the sky for a dozen minutes. Additionally, many Rangers' Hunting Pets had been released. In short, at the most intense moment, both sides combined had a total of six Druids and four to five hundred 4-Star and 5-Star Hunting Pets fighting, with feathers flying all over the sky.

The contest for the battlefield in the sky was so important because it could be used in coordination with Enchanted Ballistae to deal a wave of terrifying damage.

And this very moment was what Li Wei had been waiting for.
