Chapter 214, Tragic Song
If Robert Piszczek took Lionheart City lightning before because all parties had no defense against him, he was caught off guard.
Now that he has managed to hold Lionheart City for ten days and killed millions of enemies, it is a complete demonstration of his strength, after all, he is alone there.
The reason why Robert Piszczek was able to defend Lionheart City was not only because his demon legions were relatively powerful, but also because the major guilds had not been able to develop trebuchets.
Although the principle of trebuchet is relatively simple, the requirements for the production materials are relatively high.
If the materials are not up to standard, the end result is direct damage when launched, so even if many people have mastered the theory of making trebuchets, they have never been useful.
Anyone who knows the history of ancient cold weapons knows that trebuchets are a weapon of mass destruction in ancient siege warfare.
Although its accuracy is relatively poor, its power is terrifying.
If the walls are not strong enough, then if you are hit by a boulder thrown by a trebuchet, the wall that was hit may collapse.
In addition to being able to attack the city walls, trebuchets can also put a lot of psychological pressure on the army defending the city.
Although its accuracy is relatively poor, it is basically dead when touched or rubbed, so if the besieging side has trebuchets, then the advantage of the defending side will be weakened a lot.
If these great guilds had trebuchets at this time, then this war would probably be a different outcome.
Because they could use trebuchets to bombard Lionheart Outside the city.
If there are trebuchets in the city, it is fine, but the enemy and the enemy can have a trebuchet battle first.
If there were no trebuchets in the city, the initiative in the war would be firmly held by the besieging side.
As long as the food and grass are sufficient, they can use trebuchets to bombard for ten days and half a month, and then wait until the defenders in the city have suffered a large number of casualties before attacking the city.
Unfortunately, all this ifs, and now the situation is that Robert Piszczek has the upper hand.
I'm afraid that none of these grand guilds themselves thought that the war would be fought like this.
You must know that in order to take Lionheart City, they even moved out of the Eleven Killing Law.
Except for the first two days, they didn't have any cheating and trickery, after all, the number of dead was there.
So many great guilds besieged a Lionheart City, and they couldn't take it for ten days, you can imagine what the outside world will think of them when they know the news.
This kind of shameless thing, these big guilds themselves will definitely not publicize it everywhere, but if they don't publicize it, it doesn't mean that others don't publicize it.
After successfully defending Lionheart, Robert Piszczek directly turned on the map cannon and openly mocked the incompetence of these grand guilds.
In Robert Piszczek's eyes, these grand guilds were nothing but a little more numerous.
He called on the Scattered Lords players to have the courage to resist the powerful and have the courage to fight for what they want.
You can't have any good things for these big guilds, the game is not for them, as long as the players who enter the game, they are qualified to compete for anything in the game.
Robert Piszczek's big move immediately caused a huge sensation.
More and more Scattered Lord players are looking for him as an idol, and they are calling out on the forums to cheer on Robert Piszczek, and are always ready to fight for something of their own.
Robert Piszczek's proclamation directly shook the status of the Grand Guild in the minds of ordinary players.
Seeing that things were getting worse, all the high-level guild leaders couldn't sit still, and they began to act one after another.
Regardless of whether they participated in the battle for Lionheart City or not, the presidents and vice presidents of those big guilds all sat together and started one video conference after another.
The content of all the meetings was only one, and that was to put pressure on the major guilds involved in the battle for Lionheart to take Lionheart City by June 30, the third year of barbarism, anyway.
They don't care who Lionheart will end up with, but Robert Piszczek must die, and if he doesn't, the prestige of their Grand Guild will plummet.
At the same time, in order to teach Robert Piszczek an unforgettable lesson, they decided to increase the army to Robert Piszczek's demon plane, and they wanted to completely destroy Robert Piszczek.
After learning that Robert Piszczek is a Scattered Lord player, an allied army has invaded his demon plane.
However, due to the treacherous terrain there, even though Robert Piszczek had brought a large number of elites to Lionheart, the coalition forces were unable to take the castlevania built on the treacherous terrain.
Robert Piszczek is crazy, but he's not a fool, and he wouldn't have left the Demon Plane to take Lionheart City without his support.
The reason why he dared to leave the demon plane with confidence and boldness was the terrain where his lair was located.
Robert Piszczek descended on a huge plateau with a height difference of hundreds of meters between the high ground and the adjacent plains, and all but the only passage that allowed him to ascend to the high ground were difficult to climb.
In order to hold the 50-meter-wide choke point, Robert Piszczek built the castlevania there.
The walls of Castlevania are low on three sides and high on one side, and the high side is just blocked by the passage, and the height of that wall reaches fifty meters, just looking at it makes people feel desperate.
Although he also has some territory below the highlands, he has long since moved the population and supplies there to the highlands, so if he wants to take his lair, he must take Castlevania.
Attacking Castlevania from the front is only a fifty-meter-wide passage, and it is still uphill, and with a fifty-meter-high wall, it is not easy to capture such a city.
Although Robert Piszczek took a large number of elites with him, there was still a demon army of 50,000 people and a large number of elven rangers in Castlevania.
Therefore, even if there is a flying race on the side of the invader, it will be difficult to get close to the city wall, let alone take Castlevania.
Although the flying races can fly to the highlands from other places, they can only wreak havoc on the highlands, killing and injuring some civilians.
If they can't take Castlevania, even if they kill all the civilians outside the city, it doesn't make any sense, because as long as Castlevania is still there, Robert Piszczek will always have a way out.
After being pressured by other major guilds, the dozen or so major guilds that participated in the battle for Lionheart City can be described as both aggrieved and angry.
Originally, after losing so many troops and failing to take Lionheart, they were enough to make a fuss, but now they are not only ridiculed by the players, but also pressured by their peers, who they recruit to provoke whom.
Don't they want to take Lionheart?
The siege was originally dominated by the defenders, and the defenders in the city were still so tenacious, especially those demon warriors with sharp horns on their heads, they were simply killing machines.
Those demons fight in a completely life-for-life manner, but whoever really exchanges their lives with them is absolutely stupid, because they have scale armor with excellent defense, and it is basically difficult for ordinary swords to inflict fatal damage on them.
Moreover, these demon warriors went crazy, and they would also use the sharp horns on their heads to hit the enemy, and many soldiers who had finally climbed the city wall were knocked down by them with sharp horns.
If you want to break through Lionheart City, you must completely destroy this demon army, otherwise it will be impossible to break Lionheart City with them stirring up on the city walls.
Look at how many people there are in this demon army,, a full 300,000.
Although in the past ten days, the Demon Legion has also killed a lot of people, but now there are at least more than 200,000 people, and if they want to fight these 200,000 people, how many lives do they have to fill in.
But Robert Piszczek, this kid really deserves to die, you say you hold it, you hold it, what kind of map cannon do you fire.
Well, now everyone is starting to suspect that they are paper tigers.
If this continues, I'm afraid that more and more casual players will jump out to challenge their authority, so Lionheart City doesn't matter anymore, because Robert Piszczek's life is worth more than the Fountain of Youth.
In order to protect this last dignity, the eleven leaders involved in the battle for Lionheart City got together and held an impromptu video conference.
"Ladies and gentlemen, although we belong to different countries, I think this time we must put aside all our prejudices for a while and cooperate sincerely."
"Yes, now that the situation is about to get out of control, the Spring of Youth is not so important.
If we can't take Lionheart City again, I'm afraid that not only will our reputation plummet, but we will also be suppressed by those peers, so don't hide any hole cards anymore, it's time to take them out.
As for the ownership of Lionheart City in the end, I think we will draw lots to decide, so that everyone doesn't have to hurt the harmony. ”
"I agree with this proposal, it's time for those thorns to see the true strength of our big guilds, otherwise there will definitely be more thorns jumping out to challenge our authority in the future."
......
Pressure from all sides finally brought the eleven guilds to an agreement, and they were ready to use Robert Piszczek's life to vindicate themselves.
On June 21, the third year of savagery, after the game restarted, the eleven grand guilds finally took out all their hole cards and launched a tidal assault on Lionheart.
The elite orc legions, the heavily armored heavy infantry legions all began to charge towards Lionheart City as if they didn't want money.
In addition to these elite legions, some adventurer players also walked out of the camp one after another, and they all let out an earth-shattering roar, and then turned into dragons, and more than fifty player dragons appeared outside Lionheart City at once.
These adventurer players are all dragon people who have been hidden by the major guilds, because after incarnating as a dragon, it is impossible for them to leave this plane alive, so until the critical moment, these big guilds will not use this hole card.
Robert Piszczek is now more than just a matter of public wrath, his existence is a contempt for these grand guilds, so he must die.
With more than fifty dragons rising into the air one after another, the battle for Lionheart City began to enter the white-hot stage.
The soldiers on both sides of the enemy and the enemy could no longer care about anything else, they only looked at the enemy in front of them, and they mechanically waved their weapons until the enemy fell or fell on their own.
Robert Piszczek's Demon Legion was still as strong as it was, but with the arrival of the Dragons, the scales of victory began to tip in favor of the coalition forces.
Although the Demon Clan is physically powerful, compared to the dragons, their physical strength is not worth mentioning.
The player dragons can take the lives of several demon warriors with a single blow, and under the rampage of the dragons, a large number of empty spaces soon appear on the city walls.
Although the Dragons are strong, Robert Piszczek is not out of the way to deal with them.
With an order, a group of elven marksmen armed with the Dragon's Breaking Bow came out and began to snipe at the Dragon Legion.
The earth-shattering shouts continued from early morning to late evening.
Although the Guild Alliance was unable to break through Lionheart, they did inflict heavy losses on Robert Piszczek's demon legion.
In this battle, Robert Piszczek's demon legion directly killed more than 100,000 people, and those who survived were also wounded, I believe that a few more times, this demon legion will completely become history.
Of course, the Guild Alliance also suffered heavy casualties, not only did they lose a large number of elite troops, but all of the more than fifty player dragons were killed on the city walls.
Because after incarnating as a dragon, it is impossible for these players to leave this plane alive, so the guild coalition directly gave them a death order, that is, to fight to the end.
On June 30, the third year of barbarism, as night fell, the guild coalition had to sound the horn of retreat, and the defenders of Lionheart once again held the city with difficulty.
Looking at the retreating enemy, Robert Piszczek was no longer in high spirits at this time.
Although it managed to hold out for twenty days, this was already a limit, because there were not many defenders in the city now.
Because of the map cannon fired by Robert Piszczek before, during these ten days, the guild coalition army was like crazy, and they attacked every day.
They made such a serious move, and the defenders in Lionheart City finally began to lose it.
In the first few days, it was better, but in the next few days, the fatigue from continuous combat finally hit, and the physical strength of many defenders began to be unable to keep up.
As the number of dead soldiers continued to increase, the city's troops began to be overstretched, and the good system of rotation was broken, and many defenders began to live on the city walls to prevent the enemy from stealing the city due to insufficient troops.
Although the losses of the Guild Alliance were even heavier, they were well armed and could afford to consume them.
Today, there are fewer than 50,000 defenders in Lionheart, and many of them are wounded.
Robert Piszczek's demon legion was nearly wiped out, and now there were less than 500 men left.
If it weren't for the War Ancient Tree, a war fortress, holding a wall alone, I'm afraid he wouldn't have been able to hold out until the end of the second game day.
Although the Ancient War Tree is very well defended, there is only one tree after all, and it can only protect one wall, as long as the enemy can break through the other walls, then Lionheart City will also be lost.
And what made Robert Piszczek despair the most was that his demonic plane was lost.
He's now a Dimensional Wanderer, and once Lionheart City falls, he'll lose everything he's starting from, even if he has the Deathless Gold Medal on him.
The war on the Demon Plane was also very fierce, and in order to cut off Robert Piszczek's retreat, many of the Grand Guilds sent people to use the Dragon Token to support.
Although Castlevania is easy to defend and difficult to attack, when the Coalition Flying Legion completely clears the edge of the cliff and then throws the bound rope to the bottom of the cliff, the war will be over.
Although 100 meters is very high, you can still climb it with a rope, but the danger is relatively high, and once you stumble, there is no possibility of survival.
Although the Coalition lost a large number of soldiers as a result, several legions were transported by this stupid method.
Castlevania is mainly to defend against the enemy on the other side of the passage, although the other three sides also have walls, but because there are no enemies inside, the walls on those three sides are basically useless.
The strongest defenses are often breached from the inside, and this phrase can also be applied to Castlevania, because Castlevania is actually a gate that can block enemies from outside who want to enter.
However, when the enemy uses other methods to enter the room directly, the gate of Castlevania loses its due effect, because its latch is inside, and the door will open directly as long as the enemy pulls it slightly.
Robert Piszczek never dreamed that the castlevania would fall like this, and if he knew that, he would have built the other three walls as high as the other.
After the only retreat was cut off, Robert Piszczek knew that he was finished, and now the only thing he could do was to be honored.
Robert Piszczek made his own plan to take Lionheart, and he almost succeeded, and the reason for the failure was entirely because he had several mistakes in his decision.
The first mistake was that he never expected that these great guilds would be so shameless and would directly unite against him.
He expected that these Grand Guilds would prioritize finding allies and then turn back against him after kicking other opponents out of the game, after all, he was the weakest being here.
Even if he had an army of demons and drove the rest of the forces out of Lionheart, that wouldn't change that.
Unfortunately, his actions made the big guilds feel very shameless, and then decided to kick him out first.
The second mistake was when he realized that things didn't go according to his plan, and he couldn't get out in time.
After planning for so long and putting a lot of energy into it, he was unwilling to quit like this.
Because he had already reserved a way back in advance, he still wanted to fight again, after all, those big guilds couldn't really cooperate seamlessly.
In fact, when he found that those big guilds did not prioritize infighting, he should have withdrawn decisively, and evacuated during that time period in order to minimize the loss.
The third mistake is that he shouldn't have put a map cannon to confuse ordinary players.
Originally, it was just a matter between him and the eleven guilds, but as soon as his map cannon was released, all the big guilds were offended by him.
Because the power of his map cannon is too great, he has attracted the disaster of death.
Although those big guilds can't interfere in the war in Lionheart City, they can interfere in the war on the demon plane, and his map cannon directly blocked their own back road.
Castlevania is indeed easy to defend and difficult to attack, and according to common sense, it is very difficult for the enemy to break it.
But those big guilds were determined to kill him, and in order to be able to climb the high ground, they even let the soldiers climb the hundred-meter-high cliff at any cost, which he could never have imagined, so he didn't lose unjustly this time.
