Chapter 346 Black Forest Fortress - Bloody Battle (Part 1)

Finally, Kyle led his men on a trip and finally found out the number of dwarf troops.

The other commander did the opposite and sent 80,000 troops to take the Black Forest Fortress as a passage to the Densibi Province.

In addition, the dwarf commander leading the army this time was Marquis Darragh.

"Why does the name of this marquis sound so familiar?" Weilin asked with some confusion.

Kyle reported in a low voice: "My Lord, we robbed dwarven goods twice, all of which belonged to this marquis."

"Hahaha, I remember that more than ten years ago, before the high-level silver dwarf warrior died, he told us that Marquis Darrag would not let us go."

"Also three years ago, on the way to contact the Silver Wolf Tribe, we robbed things, and later we found out that they were also his goods."

"Can this attack on the Black Forest Fortress be considered a reincarnation?"

"Reincarnation?" Kyle whispered the word and nodded, "My Lord, that's a very good description."

"Pass on my order, the Black Forest Fortress has entered a state of war, whether it is soldiers or nobles, they are not allowed to take off their armor when sleeping, and wait for my order at any time."

"Yes."

At the border between Densibi Province and Hagar Province, Marquis Darrag looked at the empty human outpost and realized that the road he chose was not so easy to walk.

However, he had to go in the direction he chose with tears.

With three soul-level warriors around him, plus himself, a total of four people, it would be easy to capture the place where humans were stationed.

"My lord, what should we do next?" A dwarf officer asked respectfully.

"Karak."

"My lord." A golden intermediate dwarf warrior stood up and answered loudly.

"This marquis gives you 3,000 dwarf knights to eliminate all human strongholds around. I want to make them all blind."

"Yes."

"Moshimi."

"My lord marquis." A dwarf earl stood up and said respectfully.

"Your unit will be the vanguard, search for all suspected ambushes on the army's marching route, as well as traps buried underground."

"Follow your orders."

The dwarf marquis Darrag issued five orders in succession, allowing the 80,000 dwarf army to take action completely.

Except for some secret outposts, more than half of the outposts were destroyed, and all the soldiers stationed at the outposts died in battle.

In desperation, Weilin could only let the soldiers stationed in the remaining outposts retreat.

However, their sacrifice was not useless. At least it let the nobles in the army know the elite level of this dwarf army, so that they could be more united, gather under Weilin's banner, and work together to overcome this defense battle.

If they escaped without permission, they would not only face the risk of being deprived of their titles, but in serious cases, the entire family would not be able to escape.

Three days later, six kilometers away from the Black Forest Fortress, there were densely packed tents. The number of dwarf troops was estimated to be about the same as the data investigated by Kyle, and there were indeed 80,000 people.

The depressing atmosphere made every soldier on the stone wall feel heavy pressure.

Many nobles wore polished armor and sat in their own defense areas.

It was a matter of life and death, and no one dared to relax for a moment.

After inspecting the four sections of the city wall, Weilin made some adjustments for some areas that were not well prepared.

After a few days of observation, Weilin could see from a distance that this dwarf army had been through many battles, and its combat experience was completely incomparable to that of his own army.

Fortunately, the Black Forest Fortress occupies a terrain that is easy to defend but difficult to attack, which gives Weilin a lot of confidence to defend the city.

On the morning of April 27, groups of troops walked out of the dwarf camp, with 500 dwarf soldiers in a formation, pushing twelve siege vehicles that were made in eight days, approaching the northern wall of the Black Forest Fortress.

"My lord, the other side has 500 people in a formation, a total of 60 square formations, and more than 30,000 dwarves. They want to break through the Black Forest Fortress within today." Kyle stood beside Weilin in full armor and said in a deep voice.

The siege vehicle in the distance was wrapped in iron sheets, with a large number of basic dwarf runes engraved on it, which provided a certain degree of protection for this behemoth by absorbing the energy of the internal magic crystal.

"Pass the order down. At a distance of one thousand meters, the magic crystal cannon will fire. At a distance of five hundred meters, use three-bed crossbows. At two hundred meters, let the archers shoot freely."

"Yes."

More than a dozen heralds, carrying Weilin's order, went to different areas of the northern wall and issued orders to the nobles stationed in that section.

In front of the dwarf army, the dwarf general Karak looked at the fortress made of stone in front of him, and a raging fighting spirit ignited in his heart.

"Go forward."

After the order was issued, thousands of dwarf soldiers pushed the huge siege vehicle and approached the Black Forest Fortress.

Facing the bombardment of the magic crystal cannon, the siege vehicle was damaged on the outside, but the inside was still in good working order.

Many dwarf soldiers were affected by the aftermath of the energy bomb, their internal organs were shattered, and they fell to the ground.

At the same time, hundreds of simple catapults located behind the dwarf army set fire to barrels of flammable materials and threw them at the Black Forest Fortress.

The process of advancing the siege vehicle was the moment for the long-range units of both sides to compete.

In the area from the dwarf army to the northern wall of the Black Forest Fortress, there were no less than 500 bodies of dwarf warriors lying on the ground.

Every time a team of soldiers was lost, Karak would order the troops behind to make up for it.

Kyle squinted his eyes and looked into the distance. He stretched out his hand and opened a barrier a hundred meters away, blocking a huge rock coming towards his master.

"Dwarven runes are good things, but unfortunately they can only be used by dwarves. If other races learn dwarven runes, they will suffer various backlashes."

The corresponding magic language is also used by humans, such as the secret text used by arcane masters, which also has many magical effects.

Based on the secret text commonly used by arcane masters, various universal magic circles are simplified, which are not only used on a large scale in the human world, but also partially used by other mixed races.

It is said that there is also a kind of magic text circulating among human druids, which is a variant of the elven magic text, but he has never seen it anyway.

Thanks to the Druid Book left by the predecessor, Weilin learned many strange druid spells, but they are not suitable for open use on the battlefield.

In addition, Weilin deliberately concealed it. Except for a few people such as Kyle, others only knew that he was a knight.

At the cost of the lives of thousands of dwarf soldiers, twelve siege vehicles were placed on the 20-meter-high stone wall and began to emit a faint light.

The siege vehicle frantically absorbed all the surrounding rocks, soil, corpses, vegetation and other materials, and slowly moved upward.

In less than a moment, twelve half-slopes leading directly to the northern wall were formed.

"Attack."

Under the order of Marquis Darrag, Karak could not wait to lead more than 10,000 dwarf warriors to launch the first wave of attacks on the northern wall of the Black Forest Fortress.

The long-range units retreated to other areas one after another, becoming auxiliary and supporting the wall.

Under the command of the officers, a large number of infantrymen lined up in front of the half-slope, with shield soldiers in front and spearmen in the back, to meet the first wave of attacks from the dwarves.
