Chapter 560: Treeman Army Attacks the City

"Devil's mark?" The six-armed snake demon crossed his chest with six arms, looked at Grace condescendingly, and said in a sultry voice, "I see, you are a poor little bastard in the web of conspiracy spun by the devil. How many thoughts do you have now?" Is it your own? How many times is that devil whispering in your ear? You are lucky to meet the Lord. His ability is rare to cut off this kind of mark. If you don't cut off this kind of mark, , As long as the devil doesn't die, no matter what method you use, there is no way to escape this entanglement, he will drag you into hell and add it to his collection. "

Ophelia's words might as well have been the whispers of a devil.

She was neither helping Gavin nor Grace with good intentions, she just wanted to appreciate Grace's complex expression of being played with, and wanted to drag her into her ranks, even if she had a little toy by her side. Not a bad choice.

"Is there really a mark of the devil on my body?" Grace could not believe what Gavin said, but she couldn't help but not believe what a legendary six-armed snake demon said.

It's not that the devil is more honest than Gavin, but that the other party is strong enough and doesn't need to play these conspiracies with him.

At the same time, he made a new assessment of Gavin's strength. What he used just now was not an ordinary summoning spell, but an instant summon. He could summon such a powerful demon instantly. There is only one possibility to do this, and that is Gavin's mastery. Knowing the opponent's demon's real name is thousands of times more difficult than simply summoning a legendary demon.

The most important thing is that this kind of summoning ignores most of the laws prohibiting teleportation, including the myth lock, because this kind of summoning does not originate from teleportation, but the power of the devil's true name. It can be regarded as the owner of the devil's true name using her The devil's true name reshaped the devil in an instant.

No wonder the other party still chose to go to the meeting alone even though he knew it might be a trap. It turned out that he had enough cards. Judging from the opponent's tone at the beginning, he was fully prepared and ready to pull off a trick and kill the person who laid the trap. end.

"Hey..." The six-armed snake demon just sneered, as if you don't believe it.

The more she behaved like this, the more convinced Grace became. She nodded without hesitation and said: "Okay, just follow the Lord's method. As long as you can save my soul, I am willing to be loyal to you. Lord, I will also What do you need me to do?"

"If I want to cut off the devil's mark, I must be in a special state. This state will only be activated when I kill Arms. I am going to cut off his devil's mark together, so you have to make sure you die. At that time, I activated this special state, and you could only die in my hands. Once you were killed by Arms in advance and your soul was dragged into hell, there would be nothing I could do." Gavin told the truth.

As for whether Grace will play a double agent trick and sell her information to Arms again, she no longer cares. With the arrival of reinforcements, he has more trump cards than this. If he can scare Arms away , may not be a shortcut to victory.

"Okay, give me a day, and I will make the corresponding arrangements. Then you can launch a full-scale attack. I will cooperate with you according to the progress of your attack. Ivanso's detailed map is buried one meter below this stone. I will only wait for you for one day. If you don't launch an attack within one day, I will escape on my own." Grace's mind was as meticulous as ever, and she would not place her hopes entirely in the hands of others.

As soon as she finished speaking, her projection began to flicker, and disappeared completely after a few times. It was not known whether the duration was up or whether she canceled the spell on the other side.

Gavin moved away the stone on which she cast the projection technique, and focused her mind to synchronize with the surrounding land. Her consciousness immediately began to extend outward, deep into the earth and rocks under her feet. Although it was not as clear as she could see, it was still vague. I can sense the outlines of things around me, and I did sense a rectangular object about one meter away.

As soon as he thought about it, the surrounding soil seemed to come alive, and began to surge to both sides. Within a few seconds, a wooden box was sent out by the soil and rocks below.

The three-ring spell Stone Shaping.

Coupled with the extraordinary body's super control over magic elements, it can be used flexibly to the greatest extent.

After opening the wooden box, there was a scroll-shaped map inside. It was completely hand-drawn. The fonts marked on it were graceful and feminine. It was probably written by Grace. It not only gave detailed topographic maps of Ivanso's ground and underground. He drew it and even marked the main distribution of the troops clearly.

A hint of joy appeared on Gavin's face. With this map, they could follow the map and go straight to Huanglong. The risk this time was not in vain.

The six-armed snake demon said faintly at the side: "Don't be too happy too early. You are dealing with a devil now, a guy full of treacherous tricks. How can you be sure that Grace's betrayal was not bewitched by him or intentional?" To send you false information? To lead you into a bigger trap?"

"I know." Gavin carefully put away the Ivanso map and said with a smile, "Thanks for the reminder, madam. We will discuss this."

"I'm not worried about you, I'm afraid that the next time you recruit me, you will face a desperate situation and drag me to death." The six-armed snake demon was as arrogant as ever.

"Return the sword to you. Next, adjust your condition and prepare for the battle." Gavin returned the two snake-letter strange-shaped swords to the six-armed snake demon. The next time he summons her, it will definitely be the most critical one. At that time, there may not be a chance to return the weapon to her. At that time, he would probably lead the troops to provide support and take action at the last moment.

The six-armed snake demon took the two swords, snorted, and began to disappear. Her summoning time had come.

Gavin took Ivanso's map and headed straight to the north. After only running 800 meters, he got into another warehouse, which was filled with heavily armed people.

Catherine, Veranika, Carissa, Regina, Darnell, Auguste, Erdan, etc., the army of conquerors can be said to be all elite. Although the total number is less than a hundred, the fighting power exploded , defeating thousands of regular troops is as easy as drinking cold water.

This was Gavin's ambush. If there was a battle on his side, they would all arrive on the battlefield in just a few seconds.

"Playing conspiracy is bound to be easy to be plotted, but in the end, it depends on the strength of both parties." The first one to speak was still Catherine, "Whether you want to join the game depends on whether you have confidence, even if it is a trap. I still have the ability to break the situation.”

When Gavin returned, they didn't ask about the meeting at all, as they witnessed the entire process, in the manner of Regina's actual phantom drop.

"We assume that this is a trap intended by the other party to lure our elites in. They rely on two methods. One is to sacrifice innocent souls and recruit reinforcements from hell like the original troll army. This method takes too long and has obvious flaws. The strength of the teleported devil is uncertain. Once the teleportation gate is broken, the teleportation can be terminated.

One is to use the plague virus they are best at to kill and transform our elites on a large scale. If this method is used, we will have an absolute advantage. They don't know that we have found a way to crack the deadly virus. "Veranika analyzed.

This time, Gavin had no intention of continuing to explore further. He waved his hands and said, "We have spent enough time and energy on this matter, and we have also learned a lot about the other party. The rest is tactics. It's a matter of application. I want to see whether it's me who is more powerful, or his demon who is more powerful.

Let Susie mobilize a hundred elite kobolds from the Trap Corps to clean out the abandoned warehouse as quickly as possible to see if it can really lead directly to the underground of Ivanso.

The army of conquerors set up camp and pressed on Ivanso. "

"As ordered." Everyone responded in unison.

Both those who understand war and those who do not know that espionage warfare, conspiracy warfare, and elite beheading tactics are all auxiliary. The conqueror's army must be used, and Ivanso must be surrounded.

Previously, it was in a semi-encamped state, unloading horses but not unloading cargo, and it would take more than an hour to prepare for the army of conquerors to be launched. Now it is in a fully encamped state, and it will take at least a full day to prepare for activation.

The conqueror's army was now in an environment where everyone was the enemy. Gavin and the others did not dare to divide their troops at all. Instead, they pressed forward with the entire army in the form of an entire chariot camp.

They had already calculated that Ivanso had no strength advantage. Relying on the mysterious locks on the city wall, their strength was a little stretched, let alone taking the initiative to attack.

"It's moving, it's moving, the army of conquerors is moving."

"The war has begun, the war has begun, the army of conquerors has officially started war with Ivanso."

"The Conqueror's army surrounds Ivanso."

As soon as the conqueror's army moved here, all kinds of news spread to the major cities in Ivanso as quickly as possible, and countless pairs of eyes stared at their every move.

Naturally, Gavin would not launch an ant attack on Ivanso. Instead, he pushed out the tower chariots and side carriages to form a huge formation, slowly advancing towards their city wall bit by bit. Ivanso is just a small city, and the city wall is not high, about six or seven meters, not much higher than a four-and-a-half-meter building chariot.

These floor-type chariots are ready-made siege towers. Standing on them, ordinary adults can jump onto Ivanso as soon as they turn over, let alone those tall and powerful hobgoblin giants.

"Ballista, prepare, launch!"

"Catapult, prepare, launch!"

Buzz!

This is the whistling sound made by a crossbow arrow that is as thick as a duck's egg and more than two meters long.

call!

This is the sound made when a stone bullet weighing 20 to 30 kilograms breaks through the air.

The scene of hundreds of crossbows and hundreds of catapults showing off their power at the same time was shocking and stirred up a lot of dust outside the city of Ivanso.

However, it failed to damage one person or one vehicle, because the Conqueror's army's vehicle camp was not within range at all, at least still a hundred meters away.

Ivanso was completely using this method to intimidate, warning the conquerors not to get too close, otherwise even their floor-type chariots would not be able to withstand the bombardment of such war weapons.

"Treant Corps, attack." Gavin waved his hand.

Accompanied by a blast of passionate horns, more than forty huge figures staggered out of the army of conquerors.

From the very beginning, there were not two extraordinary regiments of the conqueror's army, but three.

These tree people all have at least ten life dice, and they are truly extraordinary, because the conqueror army has always used them as tools for pulling beasts of burden and loading and unloading cargo, thus making people ignore their war use.

The more than 40 treemen were divided into eight teams, each with about five people. The two treemen walking in the front held a super-large shield in their hands. If it can be called a shield, they are simply made of those thin logs and pieced together by wood shaping. They are simple and crude.

The treemen guarding behind each other held a super-large stone bomb in their hands. Most of them were treemen with the ability to throw stones.

The eight treeman teams, not far apart, began to slowly advance towards the city of Afantsuo.

"Prepare the crossbow."

"Prepare the catapult."

There was another shouting from the top of the city of Afantsuo, accompanied by the crowds of people and the creaking sound of the crossbows and catapults being wound up. All the city defense weapons were aimed at these behemoths that were as big as the city walls. If they were allowed to rush under the city walls, the city walls would not be able to withstand their bombardment.

The Treeman Corps turned a blind eye to these threats and continued to advance slowly and firmly. Behind them, the horses of the Red Falcon Cavalry Regiment and the Nott Guards Heavy Cavalry were breathing heavily, ready to charge at any time.

Anyone who knows a little about war knows that even if you are defending a city, you cannot passively take a beating, especially when the enemy's siege equipment is ready to advance to the city, it is not enough to rely on the siege equipment alone. You must send out elite troops to destroy these siege equipment with the cooperation of the siege equipment to prevent your city defense from being destroyed.

This is why those defenders are still unwilling to easily block the city gate completely even though they know that the city gate is the weakest point and is most likely to be breached by the enemy.

Because once the gate is closed, it means losing the initiative of the entire battle. There is no way to take the initiative to destroy the siege equipment, nor is there any way to pursue the enemy, which is equivalent to making the enemy invincible.

At the beginning, in Nott Castle, when Zalanda had only a dozen cavalrymen in his hands, he took the initiative to attack and destroy the enemy's catapults under great pressure for this reason.

Most battlefield games start with a bloody battle of mobile forces. Whoever wins this bloody battle will control the initiative of the entire battlefield.

Until the treeman corps, which is a siege weapon, advanced to the attack range of the city defense crossbow carts and city defense catapults, Ivanso did not see his mobile troops, and the city gates were closed from beginning to end.

I don’t know whether Ivanso’s commander did not know this simple military principle, or was extremely unconfident in his mobile troops. He was afraid that after coming out, he would not only fail to defeat the treeman corps, but be defeated by the heavy cavalry of the conqueror army, and take the opportunity to follow and seize the city gate.

I believe the latter possibility is more likely, and not every city can afford heavy cavalry.

Especially in the scattered Dragon Coast, cities that can support two or three hundred heavy cavalry are proud enough.

After all, mercenary wars and assassination wars are the main ones here, and large-scale cavalry wars will only appear in Tesser.

Of the 1,200 Nott guards in the Conqueror Army, only the 200 at the vanguard can be truly called heavy cavalry, and the remaining 1,000 are just auxiliary cavalry. They not only do not have the sophisticated equipment of heavy cavalry, but also have not received years of training, and their professional level is also lacking.

In Tethyr, knights are an advanced profession. Overall, this profession is more like a warrior, but with the special ability of the paladin companion mount, their mount will be upgraded as their professional level is upgraded, and the professional ability opened is also centered on cavalry warfare.

There is a huge difference between the power and safety factor of the charge with magic blessing and the charge without magic blessing.

For such a miscellaneous heavy cavalry, excluding the equipment update, the basic maintenance cost of salary, food, drink, defecation and urination is as high as 50,000 to 60,000 gold coins per month.

The undead army has never been famous for its mobility, and Avanso is no exception.

"Fire."

"Fire."

"Fire."

The roar of crossbows and catapults came from the top of the city again. Now they can only pin their hopes on the number and power of the city defense equipment.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

A large number of crossbows and slings hit the tree man's super-large wooden shield heavily. It can be said to be very powerful, with wood chips and gravel flying everywhere, and the banging sound, but that's all.

The super-large shield in the hand of the tree man is more powerful. Although it is rough, quantity will cause qualitative change.

Most crossbows and crossbows can only penetrate these super-large wooden shields, but there is no way to attack the tree people behind them again.

And slings can only make the super-large wooden shields shake, but not enough to break them.

Occasionally, crossbows and slings pass over the super-large wooden shields and hit the tree man behind, but it is difficult to cause fatal damage.

Because they are living plants and have no fatal weaknesses, crossbows and crossbows nailed ten or eight on their bodies cannot hurt the essence of life.

The situation with the stone throwing was similar, and it could not pose a fatal threat to its thick body.

As for the number of Avanso city defense weapons, it did not form a sufficient advantage.

Because the treeman army was not attacking in a scattered manner, but kept a distance of more than 20 meters from each other, the eight teams were only facing the city defense equipment on the 200-300-meter city wall, and those farther away were beyond the range.

The total number of crossbow carts and catapults they actually needed to face was no more than 50, with each accounting for half.

The treeman army slowly advanced forward under the firepower.

Because it relied purely on strength rather than mechanical assistance, the treeman's stone throwing range was relatively short, and it had to be pushed at least 50 meters below the city to exert its power.

The crossbows and catapults used to defend the city were high above the ground. The range of the catapults was over 100 meters, while that of the crossbows was over 200 to 300 meters.

Even if the Treemen Corps was advancing at a slow speed, they were still very large, and one step could equal several steps of an ordinary person, so their speed was still relatively impressive.
