Chapter 168 (1/2)
”Ms. aribes, we must move!” said the harpist thief anxiously.
Aribeth looked out from the porthole, and then immediately retracted his head. The huge strange ship made of steel was diving into the city, and the huge wind roared past. If aribeth was unfortunately found by the orcs and goblins on the ship, she would be dead. Even with the protection of a solid stone castle, it would not help.
The 18 inch diameter solid steel shell weighed 2700 pounds. It dived down from the ship and could tear apart the boulder several people high in the castle. Aribeth saw a giant gun pass by her fortress and hit the corridor next to it.
Two soldiers in heavy armor were running through. Tons of boulders were broken on their heads. The flying fragments easily cut the heavy armor and tore their bodies.
A caster hiding behind couldn't even pronounce a note, so he was rolled in by the collapsed ruins, and his blood stained the rubble.
”Don't drag me away. Although the enemies in the sky are troublesome, they can't destroy me!” aribeth roared at the harpist. ”Our soldiers still have the courage to insist, so I can't run away like a coward... If the enemy wants to destroy us, he must stand in front of me and insert his dagger into my chest.”
”Instead of killing us in the sky...” aribes pointed out the window like an angry lioness.
”The enemy can't kill us in the sky. I won't die so easily.”
”Ms. aribes, you'd better run away! We don't have time! The enemy is stronger than you think. What you can see is just their vanguard... If you delay any longer, it's not just the vanguard.” the man sent by the harpist was anxious. In his anxiety, he confided what he knew like pouring beans.
”... luscan has been occupied. The enemy buried the whole city and the resistance forces in it with fire. The fire burned the red magma of the land after only one dusk... When I came over, there was no voice of resistance in Wright port. The horror of our enemy was far beyond your expectation, madam!”
The harpist's intelligence agent is a well-informed thief. He has almost passed through the dark forces of morgos from deep-water city to juedong city. If he was in deep-water City, he still had the determination to fight to the death with the dark. Now he has long extinguished the idea of positive resistance and just wants to hide and wait for the opportunity.
Aribeth didn't have time to tell him. She shouted to the harpist, ”come with me, soldier!” and ran to the wall under the shelter of the stone wall. The harpist clenched his teeth and followed with a horizontal heart.
The situation in juedong city is very bad. There are only 400 guards here all year round. They are the most elite archers and spearmen. They can shoot the enemy's eyes from 150 yards, but this time they are faced with almost hell's artillery coverage.
In the short first wave of contact, morgos's army tilted 1.9 million pounds of metal like the city, which is equivalent to the metal trade of the whole Sword Coast in a year.
The metal paved a road of flesh and blood. The harpist could see that there was no living man on the way from the city to the wall.
The wall of juedong city is two people in parallel. Even if the fossil is mud, it takes nine breathing spell casting time. This time is enough for the magic archers in the city to kill a dozen mages within the spell distance with burst arrows.
But this time, the walls of greedy luscan soldiers failed to protect the Jedi against the cruel orcs.
On the contrary, most of the guards died of flying rubble, and the harpist was sure that there were no living people in this distance.
Aribeth didn't speak. Her eyes looked around like she didn't have a focal length. Soon, the landmark building of juedong city and the three miracles on the Wudong River - Dolphin bridge, pterosaur bridge and sleeping dragon bridge were nearby. They were miraculously safe and sound.
”Madam, we must join Lord Nasir!” persuaded the harpist.
But aribeth didn't seem to hear him. She scanned the ruins with beautiful eyes and suddenly asked, ”who is our enemy? There are 400 soldiers in juedong city. If necessary, we can immediately organize more than 17000 soldiers. We have the support of the temple and casters, and even the thieves won't make trouble this time!”
”Why are you still so desperate? Is the enemy's strength so terrible?”
