Chapter 7: On
the top of the city, everyone who witnessed the victory couldn't help but cheer, and the joyful atmosphere quickly spread to the entire Monterey Fort.
"Lord Baron, I didn't expect you to be a third-level wizard. I thought you had an accident and failed when you broke through the transformation last time!" The old butler Pedro looked so excited that his voice was trembling.
"If the old master knew this, he would definitely be pleased!"
"Perhaps it was my grandfather's spirit in heaven that blessed me last time. Although I had a little accident, I succeeded in the end, and I also awakened a very good talent."
"Is the talent awakened by Lord Baron the means to sneak attack on the tauren leader just now?" The assist from the captain of the guard, Beram, was very timely.
"Yes, my awakened talent is very strange. I signed a contract with a fourth-level spiritual fish from another world. The blow to the tauren leader just now was its handiwork." Everyone present couldn't help but take a breath
.
Why the third level is called the starting point of transcendence is because starting from the third level, a transcendent will gain at least one talent or ability every time he advances.
But the awakening ability of low-level extraordinary beings will not be too strong. For example, for the more than forty third-level soldiers in the Black Mountain Territory, most of their awakened abilities are talents such as precise shooting, powerful slashing, and solid defense, which can improve their strength to a certain extent.
In fact, Levi's original awakening talent is a basic but practical "stable spell casting".
But now Li Wei told everyone that the talent he had obtained was to directly provide a helper who was a level above himself. Naturally, their jaws dropped.
"This is... unbelievable," Haaland muttered, expressing his shock to my mother for a whole year.
Outside Fort Monterey, among the orc army.
boom!
"Trash, you bunch of trash! You threw away so many corpses in vain, and you didn't even do any effective killing!" The angry Helimu broke the wine glass and scolded fiercely.
"Sir, the despicable Baron Monterey is really too cunning. Those four ice walls can't stop our warriors, but they will separate them according to their strength.
And with those four ice walls blocking us, we It is difficult to send a larger team to attack the city. The more troops there are, the easier it is to block the four ice walls." "
Also! Sir Helimu, Fort Monterey has a strange fish, which is at least the fourth level. We
can't understand the sneak attack method of that fish at all. Even the fifth-level assassins of the civet clan can't do such a silent sneak attack! Buffett died under the sneak attack of that strange fish." "
By the way, sir, I heard Buffett shout that the insidious and cunning Baron Monterey is still a third-level wizard." "
Although third-level spellcasters are rare, they are definitely not powerful!
Humph, these are all excuses! You two, go down and get twenty army sticks by yourselves!"
When Helimu heard this, his anger was almost gone, but in order to appease the emotions of the large number of tauren in the army, he made the decision to punish his fellow tribesmen.
Among the teams that accompanied him on this expedition, the number of warriors sent by the Tauren tribe accounted for 1/3 of the entire army. As a result, two of the three leading meteor-star tauren died within one day.
If this matter is not handled properly, not only will the tauren no longer want to work for Helimu, but the orcs of other races will also have objections.
"Today's battle ends here. Let's set up a temporary camp first and have a good rest tonight and tomorrow morning. Tomorrow afternoon , the baggage team and the civilian laborers will go to demolish the ice wall, and the centaur and iron hoof tribe will
send out three hundred shooters to cover it!"
Helimu, who was frightened by Wei's endless dirty tricks, would rather build a camp than live in a ready-made stone house in Heishan Town for fear of being deceived.
The next afternoon, a team of nearly a thousand people pressed against Fort Monterey again. "NND, these orcs are smart enough to send cannon fodder to start demolishing the wall! Lord Baron, let's let the crossbowmen fire arrows." Harland suggested cursingly.
"No, look at that group of cannon fodder followed by a group of centaurs. Centaurs are natural shooters. Although our crossbowmen are at a high place, they are too few in number and will be suppressed." "However,
I have long been suppressed ." We've thought of countermeasures."
"All trebuchets, according to the predetermined plan, are filled with broken ice and gravel, target the ice wall, and calibrate their shots!"
After a while, seventeen trebuchets on the city wall began to fire.
Fort Monterey has not been idle during this period. With the help of many young men, the craftsmen have once again erected four trebuchets. The entire city of Monterey Fort is already full.
Since the ice wall is only about a hundred meters away from the city head, most of the gravel and ice pieces assembled by the counterweight trebuchet weigh more than 300 kilograms.
Those individual fragments of four to five kilograms will not cause serious damage to the ice wall, let alone kill three-level orcs above, but they are undoubtedly fatal to those low-level cannon fodder.
In just a short time, many of the centaur shooters who were covering the formation were seriously injured, and a dozen unlucky ones died immediately.
The "demolition brigade" sent by Helimu was even more devastated, and a great rout ensued.
"I will cut that despicable villain into pieces!" Helimu roared unwillingly, and then gave the order to retreat.
"Lord Baron, if they send a large number of third-level orcs to demolish the ice wall, what should we do?" Harland asked with some worry after coming back to his senses.
"Harland, your worries are unnecessary. If the orcs send a large number of third-level orcs to demolish the wall, the Baron will probably laugh out of his sleep." "Bellam is
right. If they put the cart before the horse and send a large number of third-level orcs, Orcs come to demolish the ice wall. Then I have to use giant ice bombs. I will fight to get rid of those walls and kill the elite orcs."
Levi explained to Harland with a smile, and added, "But I believe Helimu is not that stupid. He should send a small number of third-level orcs to slowly chip away at my ice wall.
But even so, my purpose of delaying time to wait for reinforcements has been achieved. Calculating the time, our messenger for help should also be Back."
The atmosphere in the orc camp, the central tent, was a bit dull.
Helimu took the throne and said, "I want to hear your thoughts. Tell me how to attack Fort Monterey."
However, the leaders below lowered their heads and did not speak. If you come up with an unreliable idea, you won't have much benefit if it succeeds, but if it fails, you will have to bear the blame.
Seeing that the people below were silent, Helimu's face became even more livid.
"Kingsley, tell me!"
I saw the only fox man in the big tent stood up helplessly. There was no way, the fox man was the weakest in this army, and the fire fox tribe he belonged to was completely Attached to the Bloodfang tribe where Helimu belongs.
"Lord Helimu, I think we can arrange for several groups of third-level warriors to take turns cutting through the ice wall. Without the obstruction of the ice wall, we only need 1,500 warriors to easily capture Fort Monterey." "
Since that's the case . In this case, then 125 third-level warriors will be dispatched, into a group of 25, four meters apart, to take turns digging into the ice wall. The task must be completed before noon tomorrow!"
