Happy National Day, everyone, sorry for not uploading yesterday! My fingers hurt so much after peeling it for a day, 5555 I'm really sorry for everyone! ――

Happy National Day -

Looking at the narrow corridor that could collapse at any time, Chen Kai felt as if his heart had been hit hard. To read the latest chapter, please lock in Aishang Novel Network biquge.info he knows that once the corridor collapses, they who can't fly will definitely be trapped on the fortress platform, and in the face of those demons that have descended from the air, the army guarding the fortress platform will not be able to get assistance, and as a result, they will be destroyed under the siege of the demons like cháo.

Therefore, when several anxious players saw that the remaining part of the corridor began to collapse, they were anxious to escape from the corridor despite Saka's orders. It's a pity that they forgot that this was a battlefield, and Saka was the commander of the entire fortress platform, and he had the right to dispose of any deserter in any way. At the moment when he saw those players fleeing, Saka directly waved his hand and shot out several fists that exuded a golden fighting light, and the huge fists directly smashed the fleeing players into pieces.

"Death to those who dare to escape!" The one-eyed Saka glared at all the players with his scarlet one-eyed eyes, a trace of violent murderous aura enveloped the hearts of all players, and at this moment Chen Kai and the others realized that Saka was not an ordinary sword master, but an extremely rare saint-level boxer powerhouse. The Saint-level swordsman's heads-up ability is almost invincible, because they get rid of the defects of short attack distance and insufficient combat effectiveness, and sufficient Saint-level fighting energy is enough to support a Blademaster in a long battle that lasts for dozens of hours.

But the Saint Realm level boxer is more perverted than the Sword Master, you must know that a boxer of the same level can sweep almost all professions of the same level, as long as he is close, then waiting for other professions is a tragedy. Fighters have an attack speed that no other class can match, and most importantly, their final weapon, their fists, will always be by their side. A swordsman may lose his power if he loses his weapon, but a boxer can use his fists to strike a terrible force even if he loses his gloves.

The most terrifying attack of the boxers is not their terrifying ranged boxing, but a continuous continuous attack at close range. As long as a boxer takes a chance, they can make you feel what it means to be involuntarily. Terrifying, incessant furious fists will smash your bones all over your body, while some assassination techniques born of thieves are like throat locking, neck twisting, and waist bending. Fighters with different fighting styles have different powers and fighting styles, and Saka's fighting style is clearly a furious power attack. So he was able to use his fists to beat several players who escaped directly into ròu mud, and it was not in the case of contact with his fists.

So Saka's punch shook all the knowledgeable players, and no one dared to move their footsteps that way, so they could only stand there in a daze to watch how Saka handled the situation. It's just that Saka can't handle this situation, after all, the entire fortress platform is full of melee soldiers, and the few rare ones with magic power are also knights of the temple system. So there wasn't a single caster standing on the stronghold platform, let alone using those earth mages who could repair the corridor.

As a result, Saka was unable to handle the situation, and he could only temporarily suppress the soldiers and travelers around him, but could not give them any hope. Although Saka himself could fly to the city walls, he could not take anyone else with him. The continuous collapse of the corridor caused the shattered rift to grow bigger and bigger, until it expanded to the point where even an eighth-order professional could not jump over it. A huge fracture of nearly ten meters appeared on the city wall, and a large amount of rubble continued to collapse like an abyss that was constantly expanding.

"If you don't want to die, take your courage and kick down all the demon cubs that rush up! Do you understand? Saka shouted behind everyone with his fist at the back of all the people, and he needed to motivate those people, not just the depressed players and the low-level professional soldiers who couldn't get past the rift.

"Understood!" Although Chen Kai and the others understood that Saka's words were right, they were obviously in a state of low morale when the back road was cut off. Their voices were also low and depressed, so the whole fortress fell into a dull atmosphere for a short time, and everyone's mood was heavy.

"You little be louder for me, I can't hear you!" Saka continued to roar, and with a heavy blow of his fist, he knocked the two barrels of fire directly off the fortress platform, and those fire yào fell directly on the pedals of the siege vehicle. The ignited fuse on the fire yào burned out in an instant, and then exploded with Saka's roar, forming a huge orange flame.

In the roar of the flames, the scarred pedal, which was too slippery and destroyed by the demon's claws, broke into several pieces with a loud bang. Some unprepared demons tried to take to the skies in an instant, inciting their tiny, degraded wings in an attempt to fly, only to be evident that the gravity of the world of Etia overcame their ability to fly. As a result, these demons all fell to the ground after a few meters of rise, and hundreds of demons kept falling from the sky like dumplings on the pedals.

It's just that these demons will incite their wings before they fall to the ground, allowing themselves to land smoothly on the ground, so the situation that Chen Kai and the others expected to fall to death hundreds of demons at once did not appear. But even so, the originally low morale was still slightly restored, and at the same time, the sound of the earth elemental mage casting spells to repair the city wall from behind made the whole morale recover a lot. Once the corridor is repaired, then Chen Kai's retreat will be guaranteed, and the materials used for defense can also arrive quickly.

But this kind of repair took a lot of time, after all, the terrible shelling directly blew out a crater more than ten meters wide, and cut off the wall that was thirty meters thick, nearly five meters. As for the soldiers around the crater, naturally there was not even a slag left, but fortunately the shell fell on the wall, not the city wall, otherwise more people would have died.

Although there are not many deaths, the morale of the entire stronghold is very bad, especially the soldiers and players located around the crater. This source of fear of the unknown also surrounds other soldiers and players, and while most soldiers know what weapon caused the massive crater, they can never guess where it will land next. It could be on top of the wall, or it could be the foundation of the wall, or even more likely at the back of the wall several miles from the fortress. While cursing the demons' cannon for its inadequacy, the soldiers also cursed the craftsman who made the cannon for the demons.

Because of the cannon's magical attack accuracy, the fortress was able to survive the cannon's doomsday bombardment. But the accuracy of the cannon seemed a little frightening today, because its second shell actually hit the soldiers' position less than 300 meters from the first crater, and right on top of the city wall. The huge explosion and bombardment force directly swept all the soldiers around the landing site, and at the same time smashed a huge crater nearly five meters deep in the city wall.

Of course, this bombardment was almost an hour after the last shelling, so the commanders guarding the walls of the fortress did not find out about this terrible fact. Only players who were up close to the true power of the cannon for the first time discovered this fact, but all of them were sent straight to Nuclear Antolo for tea.

When they died, one thought crossed their minds: "Grass! Didn't you say that this cannon was always bad? Why is it so accurate this time! But this thought was only in their minds, and could not be conveyed to anyone else, even the commander of the legion, until the commanders of the legion did not discover this terrible thing until after the third shelling fell. But the price of the third shelling was that the fortress platform was directly erased, and at a distance of three hundred meters from the second landing point, the defensive position on the left side of Chen Kai's fortress platform was directly run over by huge shells. The huge crater directly covered the defensive positions of the fortress platform, erasing more than fifty soldiers, including the commander, from the map.

Not even the powerhouses of the Sanctuary could survive the bombardment of this intensity, and the most terrifying thing was that the archers in the demon's rear seemed to be ready to kill all the fortress platforms. Because its fourth shelling hit another fortress platform, and the target of the shot was the one to Chen Kai's right, which was about a thousand meters away from the fortress platform where Chen Kai was. The terrible sound of the explosion made Saka's heart flutter, although all the commanders had been told to be careful to avoid the terrible shelling, but when the cannonballs actually fell, even Saka, a boxer close to the mid-level Sanctuary, felt powerless. This is no longer an attack that mortal power can resist, the power of the explosion is close to the realm of legends, and it is the power of simple destruction and destruction.

Saka knew that there was another firing weapon of this power, and that weapon was lying in the middle of Zela's fortress at the moment, on that high platform, that was the destroyed magic cannon. It's just that it's clear that the magic cannon has been damaged, and the demon's weapon is still in a state where it can be fired, and the accuracy of the shot is getting higher and higher, almost to the point of pointing where to hit it.

Even when the magic cannon still exists, even with the strength of the empire, it can't support this kind of terrible gunner, after all, the consumption of the magic cannon to fire once is too great, and a divine archer needs a lot of practice to pile it up. Saka guessed that there might be a top-level gunner who could operate the magic cannon wherever it was directed, because firing the magic cannon was the most common thing there, and it could fire hundreds of magic cannon shots a day. But it is absolutely impossible for Zela Fortress to have such a gunner, not to mention the time when Zela Fortress was established, not to mention that the entire fortress fired less than ten shells before the magic guide cannon was destroyed. The huge consumption could not be supported even by the abundant resources of Zela Fortress, and now even if Gomani had the heart to fire a cannonball, the cannon could not be activated, because the core firing pin of the cannon was destroyed, and the entire shell was destroyed.

"No matter what method the mage group uses, they must block the next shell for me, and if they need something, they will be reimbursed by the quartermaster, but if they can't stop me, let them all go up to the city wall to support the defensive screen!" Gomani snarled loudly at his messenger, feeling that he might be in big trouble this time after the second fort was destroyed. Although the legion commander who came with Lugus and his reinforcements tried his best to recapture the two forts, it cost a full thousand men, not counting the travelers who were killed in battle and could be resurrected. If the travelers were included, in order to recapture the two ruined fortresses, the Gomani had already filled in about 5,000 men.

Although he could have filled the hole with more player lives, Gomani knew that even if the player could be resurrected, he would need to master a program when using it. They are not soldiers who have been educated in the empire since childhood, they will not dedicate a qiē to the empire completely, and the most important thing is that the player is not dragged down by his family. According to the Gomani view, the traveler is an outlaw who feeds the whole family and does not go hungry, but they are very fond of taking advantage of small advantages, and the most important thing is that if you suppress too much or fail in battle, the traveler can disappear in an instant in a way that is incomprehensible to the aborigines. (Forced offline!) ）

So even though Gomani knew that the players were numerous, and that it was not possible to be killed yet, and that they would only weaken after being killed, he could not completely fill the holes in the fortress with the player's human life. Because he was worried that once the war was unfavorable, those players would choose to disappear instantly for their own interests, and when the fortress was destroyed, it would be impossible to choose Gomani to punish them.

As a sensible commander, Gomani knew he couldn't put his hopes entirely in the mage, as the power of the cannonball was not something that could be easily resisted. Therefore, after thinking about it for a while, he decided to activate the spell city defense system of Zela Fortress, using a large number of magic crystals as consumables to support a defensive wall covering the entire sky of Zela Fortress. As a regular fortress-level military city, Fort St. Zela has a spell defense system second only to the imperial capital, but the cost of activating this spell defense system is too great, and it takes more than a dozen pieces of high-grade magic crystals alone and it is still per hour. The most important thing is that once the spell city defense system is activated, you have to keep filling it with magic crystals, and you can't cancel it again until a day later.

Even after receiving the Empire's long-range support, there were only less than a hundred high-grade magic crystals left in the entire Zela Fortress, that is, the magic crystals in the fortress could not support for a day at all. If you can't provide enough magic crystals, then the entire spell defense system will collapse directly, and it will be shattered like glass shard. But Gomani had to do this, because compared to the city defense system shattered, as long as there were enough mages to repair it, even if it was broken like glass shard, he could let tens of thousands of player mages repair it again in a day, but the high-grade magic crystals were not so easy to obtain.

Most of the high-grade magic crystals need to be transported to the Demon Gate, and only a few will be intercepted and left in the capitals of various empires and the city defenses of the high-level fortresses, and the number of fortresses that can be divided into Dao Zela is only about thirty pieces at most every year. These are also used as shells for the fortress cannon, because once the spell city defense system is activated, it means that the entire Zela fortress is in the most dangerous situation, that is, it is almost breached.

Although Gomani didn't want to admit that he didn't order the city defense system to be activated even after being besieged by demons for seven days and seven nights, he had to do it now. Because if the demon's cannon is allowed to continuously kill and destroy the fortress wall, then it will only take a day for the entire fortress to fall into the hands of the demon, and this price is more terrible than activating the city defense system and admitting that it is about to fall. At least activating the city defense system only means that the city is about to fall, not that it will really fall, and if the demon cannon continues to shoot like this, then the entire fortress will really fall.

It's just that not long after Gomani's order was issued, Hun Sen, the head of the mage regiment in the fortress, hurriedly ran over with Xu Fei. And the first words he uttered made Gomani stunned, because he actually asked Gomani to cancel the activation of the spell city defense system, and at the same time lent the magic circle of the spell city defense system to their mage group.

"Do you know what you're talking about?" Gomani was furious, he roared loudly, and snow-white foaming stars kept splashing on Hun Sen's face, staining his beard little by little.

"I know! But my lord, our mage group needs that magic circle very much to activate this spell, and only with the magic circle of the city defense system can we perfectly release an attack similar to the magic guide cannon! Hun Sen fully expressed the true meaning of the word spitting on his face, and he chose to ignore the spit star that pounced on his face, and asked Gomani in a low voice. Because he knew that if Gomani agreed to his approach, then the entire fortress's spell city defense system would be destroyed, and he would become a sinner in this war.

It's just that Hun Sen had to come over and ask like this, because Xu Fei's proposal to him was too much. According to his thoughts, even those ** teachers may not have come up with this kind of construction, but after careful scrutiny, they found that this kind of construction is very practical and seems to be very effective.

"That's right, Lord Gomani, we have improved the arcane cannonball according to the principle of the magic cannon, that is, we combine the casting method of the arcane cannonball with the firing principle of the magic cannon. You should know about Arcannonballs! It's the spell that smashed a big hole out of the outside! After the research of us mages, we found that the reason why the wand shatters when firing the arcane cannonball is because the magic power of the wand is not enough to withstand the magic power, and there is too much magic power in the unit time, so just replace the wand with the barrel of the magic cannon! … I know there's a replacement barrel in the fortress's warehouse, don't be angry, just use it and it won't break! When Hun Sen mentioned the barrel of the magic cannon, Gomani, who had just patiently listened to him, immediately became angry, because the barrel was too important to the empire, and if it was lost, there would be no possibility of repairing it. As for re-customizing the barrel of a magic cannon, all right! If Gomani hadn't died this time, he would have been removed from his post and returned to the countryside to farm as soon as he put this opinion up.

Because even the barrel of the magic cannon of Zela's fortress was not made by the empire itself, but came from the capital of mages. Although most of the large empires in the entire Ethia continent can produce fortress-level magic cannons, the most critical cannon barrels are only the mage capital and the dwarf king city can make zuò cannon barrels, and the dwarf king capital's cannon barrels will only supply the demon gate, and only the mage capital will occasionally have one or two cannon barrels flowing out, and the price of buying these cannon barrels is definitely a pain for half an empire. That is equivalent to half a year's tax in the empire, and it will definitely make the senators angrily kick the Gomani out of the army.

Of course, this is still lucky, if the treasurer in charge of the empire's finances sees Gomani without seeing him, he may directly use his connections to kick him to a certain border place, and then be directly eliminated as cannon fodder soldiers in a certain battle. Don't look at Gomani as a powerhouse of the High Sanctuary, if he really lost the spare barrel of a magic guide cannon in his hand and it wasn't in the time of battle, then he would definitely not be able to eat and walk around.

"Absolutely impossible! It's already impossible for you to use the city defense array, and now you're even planning to fight the idea of the magic cannon barrel! As long as I'm alive, don't even think about it! Gomani roared and rejected Hun Sen's tiyì because he would never use Hun Sen's tiyì, which was simply making him bet on the entire soldiers in the fortress and his entire lower body and all his family members who remained in the imperial capital. Although Gomani was very bold, he was definitely not big enough to put the lives of all his soldiers on the table as a stake.

"Dear Lord Gomani! I think you've made a mistake, you should have given this order! We just follow your orders, but the quartermaster said that the use of the magic cannon requires your confirmation, in fact, the magic cannon has now been placed on the magic circle, and even if you give an order, it is estimated that it will not be able to recover in a short period of time" Xu Fei pointed to the order in his hand, which said that the mage regiment could be reimbursed to the quartermaster for whatever it needed, and most importantly, it was also stamped with the seal of Gomani.

"What? How can you do that! Gomani led Xu Fei up, his eyes were red and he looked at Xu Fei's expression as if he was going to tear Xu Fei apart directly, because according to Xu Fei's words, it also meant that the barrel of the magic guide cannon had been transported to the magic circle, and the magic circle could not be activated.

"In fact, this preparation has been done for a long time, and it is estimated that it has been completed now, don't believe you take a look below!" Xu Fei looked at Gomani calmly and then pointed to the huge square under the city wall and said, the ground that was originally used as a defensive magic circle was now covered with the figures of player mages, and at the same time, a huge cannon barrel with a thickness of more than two meters was upright on the ground, and one by one high-grade magic crystals were placed in the magic circle on the ground as the cornerstone of the magic circle to launch the magic circle.

"I ......" Gomani looked at the busy mage on the ground and blindfolded his eyes with a breath of black air, he almost had the heart to kill Hun Sen at this moment, of course, he wanted to kill Xu Fei even more, because he knew that if it wasn't for Xu Fei's instigation, Hun Sen's character would have given him the courage to use the barrel of the magic guide cannon without asking for instructions. If Hun Sen had that guts, he would never have reached the age of 40 and would still be just a senior mentor rather than a ** teacher. For the caster, once he is not promoted to ** master after the age of forty, then he may not have great achievements in his life, because the magic in his body will gradually erode his body and make the mage's body more and more fragile as he grows older. When he gets older, he will become empty of the magic power of the ** master, and there is no way to use powerful spells.

"Alright! How sure are you! "Gomani has now resigned himself to his fate, and he knows that even if he asks the mages to put the circle back now, by the time the circle is fully effective, it is estimated that the demon cannon will have ravaged the entire city wall.

"According to calculations, the endurance of the magic cannon is enough to support the equivalent of two units of legendary power, which means that the power of the arcane cannonball can be expanded to the legendary level! Of course, this is the lowest estimate, after all, the power of the magic crystal is not the main thing that starts the attack now, but the power of the mage! Xu Fei slowly unfolded a scroll, which recorded the calculation results of those high-level mages with various magic patterns and spell knowledge, of course, this will not be handed over to Gomani, Xu Fei has to collect it himself, and he can read it later. A copy of this kind of scroll can increase his arcane knowledge and spell knowledge by hundreds of points, and he can also read and figure out repeatedly to increase his knowledge, how could Xu Fei be willing to hand over such a good thing.

"How long will it take to adjust!" The only thing Gomani wanted to know at the moment was this, he had to get an accurate time, and he had to be before the next shell was fired.

"It's going to take about an hour!" Xu Fei raised his head to look at the progress of the work of the magic circle below, although there were nearly 10,000 player spellcasters operating there, but because there were too many places that needed to be modified in the city defense magic circle, an hour was already the most conservative.

"No! It's been too long, give you half an hour, and in half an hour the next shell will be fired, and you must stop it before the cannon is fired! Otherwise, all the mages will give me the wall and use spells to protect the wall to block the cannonballs! Gomani shouted at Xu Fei with red eyes, his hands clenched into fists and made a clicking sound, at this moment he had completely pressed his net worth on the mages. If Xu Fei and the others failed, he would definitely let the mages go up to the castle tower first to make burial offerings, which was the only thing he could explain to the dead warriors.

"Yes!" Seeing that Hun Sen wanted to defend himself, Xu Fei immediately agreed first, but his words made Hun Sen almost jump up. Because even an hour's work on modifying the circle can be done in a hurry, and it may not be possible to trigger the entire circle at once. Now it's half an hour, and Hun Sen definitely doesn't fight and it is possible to complete it, but Xu Fei agreed like this. If those mages knew, Xu Fei would definitely be hostile to all the mages.

"You can go down!" Gomani waved his hand at Xu Fei and Hun Sen, and then rushed to the front line of the battle with his weapon in hand, the only thing he could do now was to wait and lead by example, so that all the soldiers could be motivated.

"Dick! How's it going? Chen Kai sat on the ground and asked Xu Fei about the situation through the team channel. He knew that Xu Fei and Hun Sen went to Gomani together, and he knew why they went to him, but he didn't know if Xu Fei could succeed.

"That's it! Brother Shui, how are you there? Xu Fei replied in the team channel, and then asked about Chen Kai's situation. In fact, in the entire team, Xu Fei and a few of them were unlucky enough to be pulled to the city wall, and it was also the most dangerous fortress platform, and the others were either in the rear of the Chuáng crossbow platform or still in the reserve. Even Su Wan, who was also a Templar Knight, was sitting bored in the back feeding her little wyvern.

"It's fine! But only temporarily, those demons are like vicious dogs, just kicked down one and immediately climbed up another! Damn it! The Airborne Forces are coming down again, be careful yourself! Chen Kai finally took a few breaths to recover his body, and as a result, dozens of demons fell from the sky and directly interrupted his rest time, these demon soldiers airdropped by the little demons are extremely strong, and most importantly, their defense is extremely high and can delay time.

In fact, the purpose of these demons coming up is to delay time, as long as the soldiers on the fortress platform are dragged down, the demons below have a chance to climb up, and the more demons climb up, the higher the probability of capturing the fortress platform. After all, the demon's single combat power is not comparable to that of humans. But fortunately, Chen Kai and them have another Sacred Domain-level boxer on the fortress platform who is absolutely invincible in close combat. Although he would attack with a long knife most of the time, an occasional swing of his fist would definitely be able to directly tear an eighth-order demon apart, and he still didn't use his fighting energy much.

This powerful force allowed all the soldiers to temporarily gain stability, and no longer fear the shells that could fall at any time. It's just that the power of the demonic cannon hangs over everyone's hearts like the sword of Damocles, and even the one-eyed Saka can't resist the power of the cannonball, because it is no longer something that human beings can compete with. But even the soldiers guarding the fortress platform did not think of escaping, because once they did, the entire fortress would fall into the hands of the enemy, and it would take a thousand or even two thousand people to recapture the entire fortified position, and this loss would definitely be a huge burden for the not very well-armed Zela fortress.

"Figo! How can you agree with Gomani? Don't you know that it's impossible to complete the formation in half an hour? Hun Sen crossed his beard and glared at Xu Fei fiercely, the momentum was like he was going to swallow Xu Fei alive.

"Know! So we can only halve the power, modify the circle engraving plan, and change the inner circle circle first!" Xu Fei bit a piece of bull and said to Hun Sen, his words made Hun Sen's eyes light up, because he found that Gomani's request was only to block the attack of the demon cannonball, and this request could not be done without a complete magic circle at all. Because they only need to detonate the cannonball in the air to block the cannonball, it only needs the mages to lock onto the cannonball when they release the attack.

This may be difficult to achieve when attacking with a magic cannon, but it becomes very easy to lock on with the mage's spirit. Because mages can directly use their own spirits to direct spells to the target, and the cannonballs flying in the air, even if they fly fast, will be captured by the mages' mental power. Of course, the prerequisite for accomplishing this goal is to set up a spiritual expansion and guidance circle on the barrel of the magic cannon, which is very simple for a mage group with hundreds of mentor-level mages.
