I Became a Progenitor Vampire

Chapter 326: The Battle of Greystone Fortress (Part 1) (5,400 words)

Li De stood on the wall of this city named Gray Stone Fortress and looked into the distance with a solemn expression, as if he was waiting for something to come.

The light in the underground world is dim, as if a veil has been cast before the eyes.

In the wetland in front of the gray stone fortress, all the twisted plants half as tall as a man have been cleared away by the army.

The dark ground, which looked like a rotting corpse, was filled with the smell of rotting plants, which made people sick.

The wind blew from afar and roared away from the cave behind. The whistling sound was like the whisper of a devil.

The gray stone fortress where Li De is located is the main fortress. The city wall is 35 blades high and 15 blades thick. It is enough to accommodate a large number of troops for garrison.

Every 30 or so blades on the city wall, there is a 10-bladed tower made of gray rock. The tower is divided into three floors, and each floor has dense shooting holes. It seems that deadly arrows may be designed from inside at any time. People are intimidated.

Through the gaps, you can faintly see the repeating crossbows designed and manufactured by the Magic Industrial Research Institute placed behind each shooting hole.

Most of these modified war machines are controlled by the warriors of King's Blade. The rough-handed orcs don't like this kind of delicate work. Rushing to the front line and bathing in the enemy's blood is what those warriors with hot tempers like to do most. .

The crossbow arrowhead, which is as thick as a baby's arm, is forged from fine gold mixed with low hills and hills. The concave blood grooves on all sides can increase the lethality and are very aerodynamic. Fine gold, a metal that is easy to break but is extremely sharp, is forged. Best items for arrows.

Because fine gold is so expensive, few people are willing to waste it.

But Dawn City, which has a rich mine of adamantium, has never been stingy in this regard.

The grade of each of these arrows mixed with fine gold has reached perfection★, and even a monster with thick armor cannot withstand it.

At this time, the city tower was almost filled with such expensive crossbow arrows except for the passageway for people to walk.

In addition to the continuous crossbows, the slinging convoy behind the towering city walls is also surprising.

These catapults have strange green symbols painted on them. Even the switches and various creations are in the shape of pointed ears, showing a strong goblin style.

The weird catapult is one size smaller than the normal catapult, and the catapult is not loaded with boulders, but alchemy bombs the size of a human head, with the same green symbols and pointed ear pull tabs.

Goblin catapults are products of the goblins of the Gray Mountain Tribe. Different from ordinary catapults, the only function of these goblin catapults is to throw their alchemy bombs.

These 3-bladed, 1.5-bladed scaled-down catapults can throw an astonishing 800 blades.

It is a full 300 blades farther than an ordinary catapult - even though it is throwing light alchemy bombs.

But the power of alchemy bombs cannot be compared with ordinary stones. These hundreds of goblin catapults are enough to scare the enemy.

This is the second line of defense for the Greystone Fortress.

In addition, there are twenty tall towers built behind the walls of Greystone Castle.

These towers happen to be about 10 blades higher than the city wall, and are separated from the towers on the city wall like a canine.

These towers are the third line of defense of the gray stone fortress.

Spell caster.

Each tower is stationed by a team of twenty spellcasters. These spellcasters can provide powerful fire support for each city wall section, and these towers are carved with magic circles that allow mages to recover magic power faster.

There are not only mages on these twenty towers, but these spellcasters are accompanied by repeating crossbows with greater power and longer range.

These perfect ★★★ quality repeating crossbows have a range of 1,500 blades, which is 300 blades farther than the 1,200 blade range of ordinary repeating crossbows, and the arrows they are equipped with are also perfect ★★★.

Even the three towers in the core area each have an extraordinary-level repeating crossbow, each equipped with 20 crossbow arrows of the same extraordinary level.

These extraordinary repeating crossbows, which are expensive to manufacture, have only one goal, to hunt down those powerful monsters, and the target level is - level 15.

The tower's firepower point is composed of high-quality repeating crossbows and spellcasters, which can be said to be insurmountable.

After these three lines of defense, in addition to large open spaces and rest areas, is the entrance to the underground world.

The originally narrow entrance has been widened and rebuilt, and has now become a huge passage with a height of 20 blades and a width of 50 blades.

The distance about 500 blades inward from this passage was originally an underground space with a width of 1,000 blades. The construction department used this as a basis to expand it again. Currently, the length and width of this irregular underground space exceeds 1,500 blades.

This huge space is used by Tibetan soldiers. In the eight months since Li De was away, the breeding farms have been expanded to 10. Based on this, the number of magic bats has also increased to 6,000.

Among them, 4,000 magic bats were included in the Wings of Dawn, 2,000 cooperated with human soldiers to become magic knights, and the other 2,000 wore the third version of the bomb-carrying armor-Air Force Three, as bombers Used by troops.

At this time, the Wings of Dawn are all in place under the command of Ollie. As long as Li De gives the order, these selective troops will smash the enemy with the most ruthless iron fist.

Next to the armory, the Construction Department built 10 warehouses for storing supplies with underground passages extending in all directions.

Food, weapons, armor, alchemy bombs, crossbows and other logistical supplies are neatly arranged according to strict classifications. These reserve supplies are enough for 10 fortresses to consume for a month.

Thanks to Li De's emphasis on the underground world, Dawn City has been working hard to build these military facilities during his absence for the past 8 months. Otherwise, he really would not have been able to prepare such complete preparations in just a few days. .

After three years of development, the current Dawn City has accumulated a number of talents who can be reused.

Especially the intelligence command center and think tank, these two large staff organizations can often identify and correct deficiencies and come up with very good plans.

That's why this amazing scene appeared in front of me.

"Your Majesty, all warriors are ready."

Garp, the level 18 orc king, stood behind Li De and reported respectfully. The huge lion's head had been protected by a sturdy extraordinary helmet, only a pair of cold eyes were exposed.

The tone was deep and solemn.

"There are currently 20,000 orc warriors stationed in the underground world, 10,000 on the front line, and 10,000 warriors in the cave as supplements."

Li De's deep black eyes continued to look into the distance, and he nodded slightly but did not speak.

He was waiting for the enemy to arrive.

The tactics implemented this time were not complicated, luring the cave spiders to attack, and relying on the sharp edge of the gray stone fortress to kill the cave spiders to the greatest extent possible.

The early strategic goal is to kill as many cave spiders as possible and obtain enough death power for the Boneyard to hatch bronze eggs.

Of course, this is just the beginning of the plan, his ultimate goal is to occupy the magic crystal veins.

But the number of cave spiders occupying half of the plane is too terrifying. If we just let it go so recklessly, the consequences will be unpredictable.

The City of Dawn is not yet capable of crushing the cave spiders that use half of the plane as their nests, especially when they don't know how many high-level cave spiders the opponent has.

Therefore, the role of the Gray Stone Fortress is to lure the opponent's high-level combat power to attack, thereby hunting down those high-level cave spiders that may pose a huge threat to the City of Dawn army, and preparing for the next attack by the City of Dawn army on the magic crystal veins. .

Cave spiders can quickly hatch ordinary spiders in batches, but high-level combat power above level 15 is not so easy to grow.

In Li De's opinion, this is the greatest role of Greystone Castle.

Once this plan is carried out, Greystone Castle will become a well-deserved meat grinder, where the two forces will face off in the most direct way.

On one side is the primitive and fierce cave spiders that occupy half of the plane and have countless numbers of cave spiders, and on the other side is the highly developed City of Dawn, which has super magical scientific research capabilities and production capabilities.

The tip of the needle is facing the wheat awn.

Suddenly, Li De seemed to notice something and narrowed his eyes slightly.

A gray line appeared at the end of his sight, like a sandstorm sweeping in from a distance, covering the entire wetland.

The wind in the air quietly carried a fishy smell that made people feel panicked.

The cave spider is coming.

The closer the line got to the gray stone fortress, the stronger the smell became. All the soldiers' expressions had become solemn at this time. The arms holding the swords and shields were slowly tightening, and the muscles were as clear as steel.

What is particularly eye-catching is that in mid-air ahead, a giant beast with a wingspan of 16 blades and a steel armor is flying wantonly in front of a sandstorm composed of countless cave spiders.

Castro, the newborn king, a behemoth in extraordinary armor, serves as the key figure in this seduction.

Hiss~hiss~

After entering the distance of Thousand Blades, the stinging scream from the cave spider's mouth, like a sharp knife scratching across the glass, began to echo in the air.

The orc warriors wearing dwarf armor on the city wall felt a strong pressure coming towards them. Along with the sound that sent chills down their spines, everyone finally saw the gray line clearly.

Spider, a huge spider.

Although these newly transferred orc warriors were mobilized before the war, they had all seen cave spiders that were specially captured to introduce them to their weaknesses and tell them how to kill them.

But seeing the magnificent scene of hundreds of thousands of giant spiders running and roaring on the ground is still a kind of heartfelt shock.

At this moment, even human soldiers who had never been on the battlefield felt that their hands were shaking unconsciously. It was an instinctive reaction of the body and could not be controlled at all.

The gray stone fortress was built on the edge of the underground world against the mountains. The wetland in front of it was the outer area of ​​the silt swamp, and the ground was flat.

When this vast land is full of hideous and terrifying cave spiders, the impact on the senses is enough to shock people's hearts. Even a determined warrior will experience huge psychological pressure when seeing such a scene. .

Especially when everyone stands at a high place and can see this scene intuitively, it adds to the feeling.

The cave spiders were like crazy, screaming and chasing Castro desperately.

The distance between Thousand Blades passed in an instant. Castro accelerated his speed sharply, and a wave of air exploded directly behind him. He flew at supersonic speed and reached the city wall in an instant.

Swipe~ The moment it flew towards the city wall, the body of this steel giant suddenly turned into a mini bat.

Then he incited the bat wings to use two sharp little claws to carry a broken and dry egg shell and fly to Li De.

The egg of the Spider Queen, the cause of the cave spider's rage.

Li De stretched out his hand to take the broken and dried Spider Queen's egg, glanced at it and threw it behind the city wall.

The vitality of the spider eggs has long been swallowed up by the bronze eggs. The only purpose of these eggshells is to anger the extraordinary ghost-faced spider queen.

Castro flapped his wings and landed on his shoulders, his tone a bit excited.

"Master, I felt the breath of that extraordinary spider in the Spider Nest**..."

The method of luring cave spiders is so simple and crude. After losing all its eggs, the extraordinary spider went crazy the moment Castro approached the cave spider's nest with the eggshells.

"Everyone, prepare to fight."

Li De ignored Castro and looked at the cave spider that had entered the 500-blade range of the gray stone fortress. His cold tone resounded throughout the fortress amplified by magic power.

"Goblin catapult, release."

Li De stood on the city wall above the city gate and took command. This was the core of the entire city wall and the place where he had to face the cave spiders head-on.

As the military order was issued, the human soldiers controlling the goblin catapults behind the city wall immediately clicked the buckle, and the bowstrings with extremely tight wrists flicked violently.

The bow string instantly burst out with huge power and threw the alchemy bomb that had the ring on the thrower directly.

Bang~hoo~

The alchemy bomb pulled out a high parabola with a sound that broke through the air, flew directly over the 35-blade-high city wall, drew a long arc in the air, and then crashed into the surging cave with a roar that broke through the air. Spider Central.

Bang~bang~bang~

In one round of throwing, hundreds of alchemy bombs were thrown out.

Rumble~

It was like rolling thunder exploding in the nine heavens, the heaven and earth were collapsing, and huge sound waves exploded on this wide ground.

Bang~

The first alchemy bomb hit the place where the cave spiders were densest, and the fire was radiating.

Bah~

Five or six cave spiders were directly torn apart by the alchemy bomb. Strongly corrosive green mucus flowed out of the corpse and dripped on the ground with a sizzling sound.

This is not over yet, hula~ The shock wave after the explosion was like an invisible giant hand that directly blew away more than a dozen cave spiders around. The sharp joints of the cave spiders were torn apart by the air waves like straw.

Slime drops from cave spider wounds instantly make the damp ground bubble.

Bang~bang~bang~

The continuous explosions sounded like a giant hammer hitting the ants on the ground. Once the hammer hit, a large area was cleared.

The ferocious momentum of the originally ferocious and countless cave spiders was directly suppressed.

The scene looks like the scenes of ancient gods recorded on church murals, which is shocking.

However, hundreds of alchemy bombs were far from able to destroy countless cave spiders. Those fish that slipped through the net became even more crazy after the explosion.

Especially after sensing the aura of the Spider Queen's egg when approaching the gray stone fortress, it became even more terrifying and ferocious.

The green eyes were a little bit scarlet.

Killing intent is in the air.

No matter the cost.

Crazy impact.

On the front battlefield, the first cave spider rushed under the wall of Greystone Castle. At this time, the monster, which was covered in downy hair and looked like a demon crawling out of hell, climbed up the wall without any hesitation.

It's going to kill all the ants!

But what surprised the murderous cave spider was that the rough-looking walls of Greystone Castle turned out to be extremely slippery, and it couldn't climb up at all.

Even the arthropods covered with downy hair can't borrow strength.

Seeing this scene, Li De's mouth curled up slightly. In order to prevent spiders from directly climbing the city walls, Dawn Mage Tower spent a huge amount of money to solidify the two-ring magic of Grease on all city walls.

The cave spider's ability to climb on the rock wall mainly relies on the adsorption effect of the fuzz on its joints. The greasy technique just restrains the opponent's characteristics.

Bang~ The bowstring buzzed in my ears.

An arrow with only a deadly aura penetrated the head of this cave spider from the city wall. This level 9 cave spider did not survive for more than three seconds under the city wall.

The human archer's eyes were cold at this moment.

After several expansions, King's Blade now has an army of 3,000 people, in addition to the 2,000 Magic Word Knights.

Calculated, when the population exceeded the 100,000 mark in winter, the human army of King's Blade had reached 5,000.

1,000 of them were trained as archers.

At this time, the gray stone fortress, which could accommodate 3,000 people, had 500 archers.

Before the enemy attacks the city wall, they will be the coldest hunters, hunting down all invading enemies.

Woohoo~

With the horn blowing behind them, the cave spider's offensive reached its first climax.

The dense cave spiders rushed under the city wall and began to stack up, hoping to rely on their huge number to stack up the city wall.

Countless cave spiders are like a tidal wave sweeping across the sky, crazy and violent.

The 10 gray stone fortresses are like rocks on the seashore, which seem likely to tilt and collapse at any time under the attack of strong winds and waves.

The orc warriors wearing full body armor finally came into close combat with these monsters in the underground world.

The spear in his hand pierced the cave spiders that were lucky enough to climb up the city wall. These underground monsters were attacked the most ferociously as soon as they showed their heads.

The explosive force of the strong orc warriors can easily tear apart the bodies of these spiders, like stabbing and killing chickens. The cave spiders that cannot reach a certain number in a short time rush to the city wall to deliver food to the orc warriors.

At this time, various defense lines that had been hidden for a long time finally opened fire.

First of all, there are the towers on the city wall. The arrows with a ferocious cold light in the shooting holes burst out after the string of the crossbow was tightened.

Bang~

Huhu~

The crossbow arrows with a deadly aura were like the roar of a demon, and the densely packed cave spiders below were the best targets without any aiming.

Bah-la~pah-baa~

The sharp arrow forged with fine gold was like the sword of creation that tore apart the world, blocking the cave spider from being mercilessly penetrated.

Nothing can hinder the crossbow's penetration.

Seven cave spiders in a row were exploded by the first crossbow arrow. The last crossbow arrow penetrated the head of a cave spider and penetrated deeply into the ground. The crossbow arrow sank into the ground and even the tail of the arrow could not be seen.

All the crossbows in the 10 gray stone fortresses fired almost at the same time, and thousands of wrist-thick crossbow arrows formed a rain of arrows like spears being thrown in unison.

Puff~Puff~

The cave spider that had climbed under the city wall and almost completely blocked the ground was instantly torn apart by a hail of crossbow arrows.

Broken limbs were scattered on the ground, and green blood flowed like a river.

The densely packed cave spiders were instantly cleared out.

At least 5,000 cave spiders were killed in this round of repeated crossbow attacks.

Hiss~

But the heavy losses did not make the cave spiders give in. Behind all the cave spiders, a hair-raising sound was heard, and the cave spiders that were initially hesitant became violent again.

The difference from the last time is that the second batch of cave spiders that attacked were already mixed with a large number of level 10 ghost-faced spiders. Li De even clearly sensed that there were still an uncountable number of level 15 ghost-faced spiders inside... ....

Woohoo~

At the same time, a rapid horn sound sounded in the gray stone fortress. Looking at the denser group of cave spiders in front of them, all the soldiers were frightened. The real war was about to begin...
