441 Siege of Black Iron City
Faced with this kind of enemy who was cornered and fought to the death, Gordon naturally had to use the fiercest counterattack to send him on the road to death.
The green glow of the activated shield around him flashed, and the dissociation technique roared out. This shield is not only a convenient protective tool, but also a shooting weapon.
In addition, Gordon also took out a number of magic scrolls that had been stored in advance, and mercilessly extracted all the spell energy in the parchment, quickly molded them into attack spells, and then smashed them into the King of Haiwen.
And Ainia, as a warlock with the title of "Spell Turret", also cooperated with Gordon to weave a spell barrage.
As a high-ranking warrior, Abel . Aldridge is very strong. He endured multiple spell attacks in a row, and was even hit by the Dissociation Technique.
If it is an ordinary person with a weak body, I am afraid that he will be directly bombarded into powder by the dissociation technique. But the king of Hyven was only spitting blood from his mouth. Even after the damage to his internal organs, he remained unyielding.
But in the end, the miracle was not born. Abel. Aldrich wanted to rely on his amazing physique, using the wreckage of the battleship floating on the surface of the sea as a springboard to board Rob. Antelo. However, under the powerful spell blow, his body was blasted into several pieces in mid-air, and then scattered into the sea.
This man who came from the sea finally returned to the sea.
Abel who died in a fight with force. Aldrich was different, but Alger didn't have the idea of desperately.
After his fleet was wiped out, the King of Hyperven had fallen into a state of self-defeat, so he attacked without regard for his life. But he was different.
"I have to take the events of today's birth back and tell the head of the family. This Gordon. When Freeman takes control of the entire Hayven Peninsula, he will surely become the greatest threat to the south of the Freys. His ice golems can be said to be insolvable in naval battles. Even those high-level mages in the family may have to take a long time to find a way to deal with it. β
Alger was a knight, but also a retainer of the Frey family. The sense of honor in his heart had been overwhelmed by the sense of responsibility at this time. So I decided to live and live.
Alger buried his head under the sea, dressing himself up as a floating corpse.
Now all the knight had to do was wait quietly for the enemy's fleet to clean up the battlefield and leave slowly. As a knight of level 10, he had already mastered the magic of life source energy. Hold your breath in the water for an hour or two if he wants. It can be done.
And the long distance from the shore in this sea area may exhaust the body of ordinary people, but for him, there is no problem.
Wait for the enemy to leave, swim back to shore, and change into the conspicuous mercenary uniform on your body. Then flee the Haiwen Peninsula, and tell the head of the SΓΉ family, Wald, the results of the naval battle that he was born today, and the new weapons used by the enemy in the battle. Marquis Frey......
Alger has planned every step to be taken.
Although 500 of the Frey's elite soldiers, along with ten field mages, were buried in the sea, Alger believed that he had brought back important information. can make the head of the family forgive this failure, and even have another reward......
Just when he was thinking about wishful thinking, Alger suddenly felt a pain in his vest, and his whole body seemed to be beginning to fall apart.
He was so painful that he couldn't hold his breath anymore, choked on a few mouthfuls of water, and then completely lost consciousness......
Gordon in Rob. On the Antelo, he saw that Algerna had been completely reduced to countless particles by dissociation. Then the corpse dissolved into the sea, nodded in satisfaction, and then withdrew the activation shield.
Just now when Alger was on the battleship, he used a sonic attribute power to severely damage the Ice Golem, and Gordon remembered it clearly. He knew that such a high-level warrior would definitely survive the shipwreck. The former King of Hyperven has been slain in the final duel attack. Then this high-level warrior whose origin is not very clear. Nature is the next thing to tackle.
Seeing the sea under the ship, a mess of wreckage and pirate corpses, if you were an ordinary person, you would want to get out of such a chaotic scene. It is very difficult to find a high-ranking warrior who deliberately pretends to be dead.
However, Gordon only opened the eyes of truth and warning, and Alger's trace immediately appeared. The life energy displayed on the corpse was gray and faded in Gordon's eyes. Alger, on the other hand, must actively mobilize the source energy in his body to breathe in the water, so in Gordon's eyes, he presents a golden white with vigorous vitality.
As a result, Gordon unceremoniously cast several dissociation spells on the unsuspecting Alger to eliminate this high-level warrior who pretended to be clever.
"Alright, give the order to the other warships to fetch the remaining enemies. Even if it's a captive, it's an asset. Rob. Antelo, begin to recover the Ice Golem. β
When the jet circle engraved on the body fails, the Ice Golem's ability to move in the water is greatly reduced. There were also many Ice Golems that had already been damaged, and it was almost impossible to swim back to the ship on their own, so Gordon had to actively retrieve them.
With a rookie fleet that had never experienced any naval battles, defeating the elite veterans under the command of the King of Hyperven, and not a single battleship was sunk or even damaged, it was a great victory that could be called a miracle. But while the unwitting sailors cheered and celebrated, Gordon frowned at the financial problems.
In order to ensure the sinking of enemy ships and maintain sufficient power, the Alfrin Wrath prepared by Gordon this time is a double-layered version of the Big Mac, and the cost of raw materials alone costs six hundred gold coins. Fortunately, he hadn't had a cheating with the smugglers, so he was able to buy all the materials for Alflin's Wrath from them at the original price. And this business has almost emptied the inventory of all smugglers.
The explosives alone cost a total of 18,000 gold coins. In addition, the cost of renovating warships, training sailors, and various material consumption, etc. In this battle, a total of 30,000 gold coins were taken from Gordon's earl's vault.
Most of the loot received from the vulture pirates was spent in just one battle.
Thirty thousand gold coins, for a lord, can already be used to buy hundreds of acres of fertile land, or build a castle. Assemble two elite infantry hundred-man teams equipped with field mages.
Fortunately, now Abel . Mr. Aldrich's title of "King of Hyven" should be crowned with the word "former". The Aldrich family, now entrenched on the peninsula, has been greatly weakened after this war, and can no longer pose a sufficient threat to Gordon.
Hensel and Grida's brother and sister can only survive for a while. In the foreseeable future. Gordon's battle, which requires a huge amount of investment, is no longer possible. He can devote his energy to the construction of his territory and the construction of the Mage Tower.
But then, there was a rather important military operation that required Gordon's money.
He had to order the 6th Army to go out at once, cross the Isthmus of Kork, and attack Black Iron City.
Soldier God. Gordon in Rob. The Antello used teleportation to give orders to Seacliff Castle.
Except for Woodlow, who stayed behind. The other four Freeman retainers were all in battle. They brought with them a total of 800 soldiers, including all 200 Redstone guards.
Although some of them haven't even completed recruit training, this is a worse world, and Gordon doesn't need to be his best, he just needs to be better than the enemy.
The news that the King of Haiwen's southbound fleet had been wiped out and that he himself had died had not yet had time to reach Black Iron City. And even if the message is faster than the march. Before the soldiers came to the city, the defenders of Black Iron City knew what was going on on the front line, and what could they do?
Originally, after the father-son wall, the cohesion of the Aldrich family was not as good as before. Now that the head of the house is dead, he has sunk to the bottom of the sea with almost all the forces that Blackiron City has been able to muster - even the reinforcements sent by the Freys.
Today's Black Iron City is panicked, and there are no defenders with actual combat effectiveness. It's easy to take it down.
After Gordon's fleet returned to the port, after making some urgent supplies, it also set sail for Black Iron City.
Although the sailors on the ship are not very combative, at least there are quite a few of them. Moreover, the heavy ballistae on the battleship were also able to provide support for 6 battles. and to attract the defenders of the city to disperse their forces to defend the port and prevent them from ascending 6. This way, Chuck's fight will be easier.
Even if the enemy is weak. The win rate of his own side has reached 90%, and Gordon will not take it lightly. He didn't want to see himself defeated by a small probability event because of negligence.
Moreover, Gao believed that the news of the defeat of the King of Hyperven would soon be known to Hensel and Grida. Those two people will definitely be eager to come out and collect all of their father's inheritance. After all, two people though with Abel. Aldrich turned his face, but in terms of identity, he is still the most orthodox heir of the family.
As for the Roshan Simon Young Master, no one would care at this time.
Although Gordon had already sped up, when he reached the sea outside the Black Iron City, he realized that the Black Iron City had already been taken by the twin siblings.
After all, the place where the other party lived before was closer to Black Iron City. And the two of them obviously have eyeliner in the Black Iron City. When the news of their father's defeat returned, they immediately went to Black Iron City alone and persuaded the captain of the city's garrison to pledge their allegiance to him.
Twin siblings can take Black Iron City without bloodshed by virtue of their identity advantages. And Gordon, an outsider, can only attack.
However, because Hensel and Greda entered the Black Iron City before Gordon, they traveled lightly and only followed by a few retinues. The army that was originally loyal to the two of them was still stationed in a small town not far from Black Iron City.
In other words, although Black Iron City has changed its owner, its garrison strength has not increased much.
Although the two Five Rings Mages are a force to be reckoned with in a squad-sized battle. But in a battle of more than 1,000 people, it does not play a big role.
An anomaly like Gordon, who has dozens of golems and can influence the direction of the war as a five-ring mage, is rare in the entire history of the world of Telos.
However, after the two brothers and sisters are in charge, at least the hearts of the people in Black Iron City are stable. Even the Aldrich family, which had a new owner, began to throw money around and recruit people to defend the city.
In addition to the Straits mercenary regiment of the Frey family, there were many Kuts loyal to the Aldrich family. These warlike half-snake people are an amphibious race, but although they can be like fish in water in the swampy ditch, they can't make any waves in the sea.
In addition to the family cavalry, the most warlike Kuts also died. Now the defenders in Black Iron City, a total of 300 people, are all mercenaries responsible for looting and guarding slaves, that is, the kind of Naval Fist mercenary group that Gordon encountered in Vine Town before.
These mercenaries with low combat power are naturally not looked at by Gordon.
Chuck, out of prudence, commanded the troops to surround the Black Iron City, but did not immediately attack. And Gordon's fleet. Less than two hours after the arrival of the 6th Army, it appeared in the sea off the Black Iron City. He immediately ordered the battleships to begin the attack.
His fleet returned to the port for supplies, and the most supplies it loaded were all kinds of ballista ammunition. In addition to the most traditional stone shells, there were fire canisters filled with fuel.
6 stationary targets on the ground, of course, are easier to shoot than moving targets at sea. Ballistae of various types on battleships. This time the hit rate has improved a lot. After a few rounds of shooting, there was a tragic scene of collapsed houses in the Black Iron City. There were even fires in some places.
Hensel looked at the fleet moored at sea with a grim face. Those tall masts were like sharp needles piercing into his heart.
The Aldrich family, which once roamed the steam sea, was now beaten by the enemy's fleet and could not fight back, and the sea control was completely lost. It's such an ironic thing.
"That Gordon. Freeman, are you going to bombard us with ballistas all the time? β
"Brother, are you expecting the enemy to start attacking the city immediately?" Sister Greda smiled helplessly.
"It's obvious. The opponent intends to weaken our strength and will to resist with a continuous range of attacks. They didn't want to lose too much in a siege. β
"So what?" Greda said indifferently, "No matter how big or small the loss is, that Gordon will always be able to capture Black Iron City." Do you think we still have hope of holding on here, brother? β
Faced with his sister's questioning, Hensel was silent.
He knew that the reason why he was actively recruiting troops in the city to boost morale was just hoping to hold on for a little longer. His resolve to resist was not strong. It's just that the one in my heart is unwilling to do it.
finally became the head of the Aldrich family, but immediately faced this desperate situation. It's like a greedy child who has saved up pocket money for a month and finally bought the honey praline cake he wants, only to find that the cake has gone bad and he has to throw it away.
Not many people can accept this reality calmly.
"Brother. Stop being stubborn. We rushed back to Black Iron City this time, and we had already got what we left in too much hurry last time and didn't get it. The entrance to Mount Waisula is about to open, and we should put our focus there. Remember. Our identity is that of a mage. The wealth that comes with these worldly powers, while indeed providing us with the convenience of arcane research, is not fundamental. β
Hensel let out a sigh: "You're right, sister, I'm too persistent. At the very least, I killed that Simon idiot. Hmph, the thought of that kind of idiot living in the world makes me unhappy. He had defiled the blood of the Aldrich family. β
Grida knew that her brother had an unusual grudge against that stupid half-brother. But kill him, kill him, it doesn't matter. The girl, who was more thoughtful than her brother, reminded: "Brother, although we can't defend Black Iron City, we can't leave Gordon with an intact city. β
"You're right, I'll do my best to arrange for my cronies to place ignitions everywhere. When the time comes, let Gordon cry in the ruins! β
"Good. After doing this, we went to Koseni and went with him to the province of Changxia. For the trip to Mount Wesula, we still have to prepare some things, and those precious magic materials can only be obtained relatively easily by relying on the Frey family's connections. Moreover, Coseni has the key to obtaining the treasures of the Vesura, and we must join forces with him. β
The corners of Hensel's mouth curled: "That guy always claims to be a high-level mage of the Eight Rings, but he has no self-knowledge at all. A guy who is injured and down, and his strength has plummeted, has no future. He actually wanted to rely on the treasure in the mountain to restore his strength, ridiculous! β
The two turned the conversation to the mage from the Frey family. Although the other party is not a staunch supporter of his own side in the Frey family, his identity is there after all, so the brother and sister have always treated the mage very respectfully. And one more important point, that is, Cosseni. Frey's daughter, who once collaborated with her brother and sister to assassinate Gordon. Freeman, and his whereabouts are still unknown.
While the siblings were talking about Coseny, the mage appeared in the same place where they were now staying, the study where the King of Hyperven used to conduct business.
The former eight-ring mage had a brief encounter with Gordon in the Blackwater Swamp. After that, he traveled to the area of Cloud Scale City to find out about his daughter, and only recently did he meet the Hensel siblings.
Although his strength has dropped greatly, Coseni is now also a six-ring mage, and his strength is much stronger than Hensel and Greda, so this time they came to Black Iron City, and the two of them also invited Coseni.
With such a powerful mage in charge, it is easier to do anything.
When Coseni appeared in front of the two siblings, he had a cold smile on his face, which surprised the two of them greatly. And the first eight-ring spell just said "My daughter is dead, you two deserve to die too!" He stretched out his transparent staff......
