Elite Mages’ Academy

Chapter 242: The Beginning of the Battle (3)

In fact, the spell defense tower should be more accurately called a spell-gathering launcher. The entire tower is built with a magic device. Mages only need to output their own mental power to activate the magic device, and then send out the fixed magic device. Spell attack.

High-end defense towers can be equipped with quite powerful magic devices, but unfortunately due to the rush of time, it is impossible for them to build better defense towers. Even these rather simple defense towers are already the limit of architects Speed ​​up.

Xiao Lin gently caressed the metal with black luster. This is the magic device. The so-called magic can be interpreted as the use of magic energy as the guiding force. The specific related courses will not be opened until the third year, but now Xiao Lin He doesn't need to know the principle, he just needs to know how to operate it.

They actually received special assault training from the architect two days before the specific operation. The method of operation was not difficult. Xiao Lin pressed his hands on the smooth metal plates on both sides of the platform. The magic device began to grow brighter and hotter rapidly.

The launch port of the magic device is also very strange. It is not like a gun barrel, but a flat and slender piece of silver metal. The internal changes of the magic device are very fast, and the piece of metal turns red almost in the blink of an eye. , and the color kept getting darker, extremely dazzling, then Xiao Lin only felt a tremor in the hands holding the metal plate, and then an astonishing wave of air sprayed out from behind the launch pad.

If it wasn't for the fact that the top of the defense tower was sealed, Xiao Lin probably would have been rushed out by the blast, and then he couldn't help remembering that Captain Yu, the architect, seemed to have reminded them that the construction of the spell defense tower was in a hurry. In the process, some irrelevant things are omitted, such as buffer devices and so on.

After the metal sheet at the launch port shone with sufficient brightness, a crimson beam of light shot out. Like a laser, it exploded directly in the orc infantry formation.

At least four or five orcs were blown to a pulp on the spot, with blood flying everywhere. They couldn't even tell the difference between their hands and feet. Their seemingly thick armor was as fragile as paper under the attack of the spell tower.

The power of the spell defense tower scared the freshmen who had never seen it before. Then enough curiosity was generated, and more people walked out of the fort one after another and boarded the defense tower one after another.

However, the number of spell defense towers is relatively small, accounting for less than one-fifth of all defense towers, and most of them are arrow towers, which are equipped with launch devices such as large machine crossbows or continuous shooting crossbows. The power of the attack tower is much lower than that of the spell tower, and the attack range is also very small.

However, the attack speed of the arrow tower is very objective. Relatively speaking, the power of the spell tower is huge, and the operation is really cumbersome. The metal piece of the launch port needs to be replaced after each launch. The architect, Captain Yu, told them that the metal piece is a waste in this low-level spell tower. The product must be replaced once it is launched, otherwise it will be overheated due to overload, and there is a high probability that the tower will be destroyed directly in the next launch.

Xiao Lin didn't dare to take the risk, so he quickly got up to carry out the replacement operation after the launch. It was his first time operating, not to mention the clumsy technique, the metal piece just launched was still extremely hot. Even if fresh water is prepared on the defense tower, it is still quite troublesome to replace it every time.

After Xiao Lin took the lead, other defensive towers joined the ranks of the attack one after another. The operation of the large machine crossbow in the arrow tower is much easier. Huge arrows keep piercing through the air, and those who operate the machine crossbow are all elective bow and arrow courses. students, their hit rate is much higher than others, but the large machine crossbow also has a very inconvenient place, that is, it rotates very slowly. Fortunately, the battle line was very long after the orcs formed, and they didn't need to turn around most of the time.

To a certain extent, the dense arrows make up for the disadvantage of insufficient single-body lethality. Because a large number of large arrows that can be used for machine crossbows were found in the ordnance equipment in the warehouse, they didn't need to have any idea of ​​saving their use at all.

Although there is a long interval between attacks on the spell tower. But the destructive power of each attack is quite astonishing. The attacks of these spell towers are mainly based on flame energy.

The accompanying burning effect is very effective on the grassy plains, and the spreading flames will also hinder the advancing speed of the orcs.

The people standing on the fortress were not idle either. Everyone was mobilized to attack with all long-range weapons. It didn’t matter if they hadn’t taken arrow courses. It doesn't matter at all, there are thousands of orc infantry, and it looks like the mountains and plains are covered in brown. Shooting arrows at the crowd, there will always be a few unlucky guys who don't have long eyes.

The orc infantry were equally crazy, at least as Xiao Lin witnessed, several orcs were shot in the body with arrows, even an arm was blown off, still howling and charging up the hillside recklessly.

Judging from the battle scene, Xiao Lin and the others did indeed suppress the orcs throughout the process. Although the wolf cavalry used their bodies to pave all the traps along the way at first, the orc infantry who followed did not seem to expect that they would be attacked so intensively , or it should be said that the orcs did not expect Xiao Lin and the others to erect so many defense towers in just a few days.

Dawn Academy is undoubtedly very well prepared for this landing operation. The group of architects who came with the ship are almost all the elites of Dawn. Contribute part of their energy to building the defense tower, and the other students are well aware of the difficulty and importance of this monthly exam. No matter how they complain, basically no one will be lazy when helping to build.

Undoubtedly, the orcs may have anticipated the Dawn Academy's landing operations, but they did not expect to receive such fierce resistance. They were indeed very fierce. The orcs charged almost without a moment's rest throughout the afternoon, wave after wave like a tide Unceasingly launching the offensive, they already left an unknown number of corpses on the road.

Xiao Lin couldn't remember how many times he had replaced the metal plates. Anyway, he had already used up the clear water used for cooling in the tower, and it was impossible for him to go back to fetch water when the fierce battle was more intense. The spell water shield learned before the exam.

This spell is to use the water shield condensed by water elements for short-term defense, but it is more convenient to use the water shield to cool down the metal pieces, and if the water shield is not attacked, it can last for several minutes, which means that Xiao Lin can even Can be used two or three times in a row.
