Chapter 784.2: Beginning of the Siege
From the bolt, "wings" suddenly poked out, which were more like two-edged blades three meters long than wings.
After opening the double-edged blades, the crossbow bolts would spin even faster and shoot downwards at an even faster speed.
*Phew-yu-yu-yu~*
Along with a sharp whoosh, hundreds of rapidly rotating crossbow bolts slammed into the ground.
People who were unlucky enough to be right on the spot where these bolts landed died on the spot. Those who were nearby were even more unlucky — if the bolt hit the ground at the right angle, it began to spin like a bundle, and thanks to its "wings" it cut through everything that was nearby, until finally it stopped.
The armor couldn't protect anyone from such a bundle.
Blood and flesh began to fly in all directions...
— Ha ha ha.
— Great broadside.
— Charge it!
To the merry laughter of the dwarves, the second salvo was being prepared.
Under the fortress, the legion commander Carlos looked very displeased.
Next to it was a crossbow bolt that had been chopped apart.
— Go ahead! Carlos roared angrily.
Hearing the voice of their commander, the bamboo basket warriors roared and immediately charged forward. Their leader was watching them, and he was a man they admired.
*Phew-phew-phew...*
The second salvo was not long in coming. Although the empire's army suffered heavy losses, under Carlos ' leadership, no one retreated and only marched forward without fear of death.
In less than two minutes, the rocks beneath the fortress created a one-meter-high slide. Of course, one meter was not enough, given the size of the fortress, but in addition to the stones near the hill, there were also human bodies lying around, which increased the size of the mountain.
While the dwarves on the fortress walls were busy loading bolts, the elven archers standing behind the empire's army finally finished preparing.
*Whistling~*
A dense rain of arrows shot towards the top of the fortress in a parabola. Seeing this rain of arrows, the dwarves on the walls were not afraid at all. These crossbows were not afraid of ordinary arrows, because they were created for centuries, and as for the dwarves, each of them was in the strongest iron armor, besides, these crossbows were created not only to destroy the army advancing on fortresses.
These crossbow bolts, in addition to killing, could also protect those who were on the walls of the fortress.
Before a rain of arrows could rain down on the fortress walls, crossbow bolts soared into the sky.
The rain of arrows from the elves had mostly turned to sawdust due to the impact of the crossbow bolts, and in addition to the fact that these bolts had practically nullified the rain of arrows, they continued to fly at great speed towards the imperial army.
As the bolts bit into the ground, some of them began to spin at a tremendous speed.
A large number of warriors were hacked to pulp before they even had a chance to shout.
The position of the Tribal Union Army was excellent.
But was this really the case? Not really. Once the pile of rocks and corpses under the fortress reached a certain height, the empire's warriors would be able to scale the fortress walls and force the union army to engage in hand-to-hand combat.
The strange thing was that the armies on both sides didn't have mages with any large-scale magic, such as "meteor shower" or some " tornado».
It wasn't that there were no mages in both camps, but that the mages in this world weren't very strong in large-scale spells. In one-on-one combat, mages were quite capable, but as far as large-scale magic was concerned, it had never appeared in combat since the empire was founded. The specific reason for this was not known.
Plus, mages rarely participated in wars. They preferred to study magic and often did not participate in power struggles. As for second-rank contractor mages, they were even less likely to master large-scale spells, unless of course they had a special talent or equipment with the appropriate skills. In addition, one should not forget that to cast large-scale magic, one had to have an astronomical amount of mana, and to spend all one's mana reserve on one spell, although quite powerful, in the conditions of a battle between two armies, was like suicide.
The basis of this world was the army, and each of the warriors was physically developed. Under the pressure of the huge army, no matter how strong a mage was, he could only quickly pack up his things and escape.
At this moment, Su Xiao was at the center of the empire's army, on a high hillside, and he was holding the Spider Queen in his hands.
Although the appearance of the Spider Queen in this world was too illogical even with the patronage of the Reincarnation Paradise, many people around Su Xiao thought that this was his special ability, for it was quite common to see amazing alchemy or magic products in this world.
Of course, Su Xiao wasn't the only one who used a sniper rifle on this battlefield.
Contractors from both sides began to influence the course of this battle.
