The air-conditioned green phosphorous fire burned on the stone slope under the fortress, which largely prevented the imperial army from piling up the stone slope.
The stone slope has been piled up nearly 30 meters high, and the towering fortress is conservatively estimated to be 35 high. The difference between the stone slope and the fortress is no more than five meters.
Even these five meters have become a sky wall. The green phosphorus fire produced by the broken green phosphorus fire combustion bottle is extremely hot. Not to mention the human body, even steel will be melted into molten iron.
Although the burning time of the green phosphorous fire is very short, and it will dissipate in about ten seconds, the goblins on the fortress kept dropping green phosphorous fire bottles to prevent the imperial army from continuing to advance.
With the cooperation of the green phosphorous fire, the dwarves on the fortress controlled the 'Castle Heavy Wheel Crossbow' to fire a round of volleys. The imperial soldiers under the fortress suffered heavy casualties. They were massacred without doing anything. wildfire.
To make matters worse, under the roasting of the green phosphorous fire, the stones on the stone slope began to melt, turning into a dark red liquid, which was magma.
The situation of the imperial army is very bad. It can neither rush forward nor retreat. The imperial army has suffered more than 80,000 casualties. Retreating like this will cause a permanent blow to morale. There will be no need to fight subsequent wars unless a group of soldiers is changed .
Legion Commander Carlos stood in front of the green phosphorous fire, looking at the gradually melting stones.
Whoosh~
A bullet was shot at Carlos, and Carlos slashed out with a sword. The bullet was split into two pieces. He had forgotten how many pieces of this thing he had split.
Carlos, as the legion leader of the empire, of course the contractors of Apocalypse Paradise have thoughts about him, and the rewards for killing Carlos are extremely generous.
Carlos didn't look at the contractors of the Apocalypse Paradise at all, he just stared at the gradually melting stones.
"It should be about the same. It cost ninety thousand gold pounds. If those alchemists still want to maintain their status in the empire, they will not provide inferior products."
The gold bill that Carlos spoke of is the currency with the largest denomination in the empire, and 1 gold bill can guarantee all the expenses of a family of five within one month.
A few days before the start of this battle, Carlos applied to the empire for a batch of special materials, which the empire could not produce officially, and could only be purchased from the Alchemy Association.
The Alchemy Association was established in the territory under the rule of the empire, but if you want to obtain war materials from the Alchemy Association, the empire needs to pay gold coins, and you can't force it even during wartime.
If you offend those alchemists, let's not talk about the various alchemy items and familiars they invented. Once the relationship between the two parties breaks, those alchemists don't mind moving their headquarters to the tribe, and the tribe will definitely welcome them warmly.
If the power is not enough, you can only buy it. Fortunately, the Alchemy Association is very flattering. The imperial military buys supplies with a 40% discount, and the royal family buys at cost price, which gives the royal family enough face.
Before the start of this battle, Carlos had already imagined the current situation. He had been fighting with the tribal alliance for too long, so how could he not know the temperature of the opponent's "green phosphorous fire".
Since Carlos has adopted the current strategy, it means that he must have a way to deal with it. He can let the soldiers sacrifice, but he will not let the soldiers die in vain.
The height of the stone slope under the fortress dropped rapidly, from the original 30 meters to about 10 meters high. The red magma slowly flowed down, and the height of the stone slope became even lower.
A magma slope with a span of one kilometer is formed under the fortress, which is almost an impenetrable line of defense.
On the fortress, the tauren Amster frowned. He couldn't figure it out. He couldn't figure out why Carlos, who had always been difficult to deal with, used such a stupid strategy? Judging from the current situation, the imperial army can't attack the fort at all. If this unilateral massacre continues, within an hour, the imperial army will flee on a large scale.
Amster's guess was inaccurate. It didn't take an hour at all. The current imperial army has begun to lose its morale. If it weren't for Carlos' scene at the front line town, the imperial army would have already fled.
After the imperial soldiers began to retreat slowly, although the soldiers knew that they were in danger on the battlefield, this kind of unilateral massacre made them unacceptable.
In the middle of the imperial army, Su Xiao retreated a magazine. He has already killed more than fifty dwarf crossbowmen. He killed this special type of arms, and his combat achievements have increased rapidly. Unfortunately, those dwarf crossbowmen died after a large number of casualties. He is quite smart, except for the necessary aiming when launching the crossbow bolts, he hides behind the 'Castle Heavy Wheel Crossbow' at other times, easily not showing his head.
Su Xiao pulled the trigger, and a dwarf machine crossbowman who had just appeared was headshot. The dwarf crossbowman had just fallen, and five bullets, one arcane spell, and three bows and arrows flew near the headless body of the dwarf crossbowman. to kill the enemy.
Su Xiao's shooting speed is not slow, but it's not that he has no opponents. There is a mage on his side who is not slow to shoot. The opponent has killed at least 30 dwarves.Crossbowmen.
Through the scope, Su Xiao saw the large magma slope under the fortress. He really wanted to rush to the fortress. There are many special troops on the fortress. If he can get close to these special troops, this war will end, [Holy Oak Branches] ¡¿Basically available.
Under the current situation, it is obviously impossible to rush to the fortress. Even if Su Xiao has high physical attributes, he does not dare to resist the magma. The temperature of ordinary magma is between 700 degrees and 1200 degrees. The magma under the fortress is roasted by green phosphorus fire There is a hint of green in the orange red, and the temperature is higher than ordinary magma.
Su Xiao was very puzzled. He experienced the power of the 'Green Phosphorus Flame Bomb' in the last battle. The 500-point counterattack shield was burnt through within 4 seconds. If it wasn't for his fast enough speed, he would have rushed out of the green phosphorous fire burning area , he had been burned to death.
This is the battlefield, if Su Xiao is not cautious enough, he will die as well.
Carlos should be aware of the power of the green phosphorus incendiary bomb. Why did he choose this strategy?
When Su Xiao was observing the magma through the scope, he suddenly found a fist-sized red pentagram formation on the surface of the magma.
The pentagram circle is fleeting. If it weren't for Su Xiao's good eyesight, he would not have noticed the pentagram circle that is similar in color to the magma.
"Pentagram? Magic?"
Su Xiao frowned and pondered, tried to recall the appearance of the magic circle, and drew it with his fingers on the ground beside him.
Soon, Su Xiao restored the appearance of the magic circle.
"It's not a magic circle. There are too many breakpoints, and the magic power cannot be circulated. It's more likealchemy?"
That's right, Su Xiao feels that this thing is like an alchemy array, not a magic circle. Although the alchemy array is similar to the magic circle, the alchemy array operates on multiple points independently, not as a whole like the magic circle.
Why do alchemy arrays appear in the magma? Goblin masterpiece?
Su Xiao stood up, he suspected that a lava giant would jump out of that piece of magma at any time.
Gululu, the magma was boiling. The goblins on the fortress first noticed the abnormality. Their leader, the goblin inventor, rushed forward and carefully observed the changes in the magma below.
"Stop, stop throwing green phosphorus bottles."
The goblin inventor seems to have seen something unbelievable.
"Carlos, this bastard, is it hot and cold to replace the alchemy array? And it's still this size. How many alchemists can create such a large-scale chain alchemy array? The problem should be those stones. gone."
The goblin inventor jumped his feet angrily, he actually lost in alchemy.
"Everyone, prepare for hand-to-hand combat."
The goblin inventor's shrill voice spread, and the dwarves and orcs near him wondered.
"Amster, gather your subordinates, Carlos is going to bring people up."
