What did you do with the dice?

"I know a little, but those missions are pretty easy. Just set some fires and kill a few weak bad humans." Alice put her hands on her hips, looked up proudly at the elves who were wolfing down their food, and said, "If Teacher Sanita hadn't captured me back then, I might still be eating fruit in a tree hole. Of course, there's nothing wrong with eating fruit, but this cream cake and this exquisite big bedroom mean more to me than anything else~"

Just as the elves were thinking about continuing to eat, a heavy assembly call sounded from the city wall.

The surrounding soldiers put down their bowls and chopsticks and started to move. The messengers shouted, "Quick, quick, soldiers, assemble in order! The enemy is coming!"

"Oh no, there's nothing to eat. We have to go to war!"

"Ah↑↓~ Then do you want some snacks after the fight?"

"Yes, Lord Pearl Tear is quite generous. As long as you behave well, you will be given plenty of delicious food."

Alice led the way: "Follow me! Let's meet on the city wall!"

The elves became excited when they heard it. They wiped their mouths, picked up their weapons and followed her. At least from this moment on, they really wanted to fight hard and survive.

As soon as I climbed up the city wall, I looked around and saw dense rat troops surrounding this place from the east and west like a tide, gradually turning it into an isolated island in the black ocean. The squeaking sound of teeth grinding resounded throughout the earth, which was creepy.

All the soldiers nervously swallowed their last mouthful of saliva and held the crossbow handles tightly, as if this could bring them some psychological comfort.

"Listen up, new recruits! Based on my previous combat experience in Bright Moon City, the Aiel Empire's ratmen aren't to be feared. They're just a bunch of stunted dwarfs. As long as you're not a hungry wimp, you can kill one with just a few strikes! But this is just the beginning. They're fearless and inexhaustible. Once they scale the walls in large numbers, our city defenses will become useless!"

"So, don't hold back, don't stop! Shoot the last arrow, swing the last knife before you pass out!"

Boom! Boom! Boom, boom, boom!

Behind the army of the El Empire, a huge war drum was tied to the back of a giant mammoth. Several Taigo people sat beside it and beat the drum hard at the same time. Everyone's heart beat with the beat of the drum.

Boom!

The last drum beat ended.

What followed was a whistle that pierced the sky.

The black tide quickly rushed towards the city wall!

Bows and crossbows wailed, and arrows rained down from the city walls like a torrential rain! Magical cannons roared, and several beams of light pierced the black ocean, creating a small clearing that was then instantly filled by the enemies rushing in from behind.

"Kill!!!"

The defense battle of Alice City officially begins!

Chapter 310: Prison Iron Wall Alice Royal City (3)

The ratman's claws scratched the city wall, making a harsh, scratching sound.

Their small bodies tried hard to climb up the city wall, but the wall was too smooth and had an inner chamfer. Even for a race that was naturally good at climbing, they would inevitably slide down after moving up two or three meters at most.

The soldiers on the wall laughed as they watched them slide down again and again, saying, "Haha, they can't get up!"

But the El Empire is worthy of being the El Empire, and naturally has its own set of rules - the sound of the flute changes instantly, and the soldiers' faces change instantly.

The bodies of the ratmen on the ground piled up into a mountain. As the sound of the flute changed, the following ratmen actually changed their usual behavior pattern of rushing forward, and began to move the bodies of their companions to throw them in front of the city wall, and then they rushed up closely behind them. When the ratmen behind copied this behavior, stepping on their companions in front of them, whether dead or alive, and stacking up in steps, soon, a "meat ladder" was actually built in front of the city wall.

This "ladder of flesh and blood" that was a bit Khorne-like and heart-shaking was so shocking that it forced the soldiers to use some magical materials in advance, throw down flammable materials and set them on fire in an attempt to burn these "ladders of flesh".

However, the efficiency of burning corpses into charcoal to compress space is far lower than the speed of padding them. As a result, it may not take long for the defense line at the height of the city wall to be breached.

Rusalka used the projection crystal to watch the scene on the city wall. Now she really wanted to jump off the city wall and jump down like a dragon to show these baby rats how a full-level character could bully a new character.

But Sanitta would not wake up for a while, and during this time, he could only sit in the military tent and shake his legs frantically to suppress his impatience, and pass on the information that Sanitta reported to him on the transfer to various messengers.

"Supply up to the first area, and make sure they don't waste it. Disperse the saturated firepower towards the second area. If that doesn't work, just help the west side. We're all on the same side now, and there are only a few friendly forces. There's no need to divide the defense areas so clearly."

"Hold the second area, but don't be so hasty in using the kerosene. Wait until the enemy reaches the wall before pouring it down."

"Oh my god! What's going on in the wall section of Sector 3? I told you to fire at full force! Full force! Go give that commander a slap and tell him to get out if he has his own ideas again. If you don't want to be the commander, let someone else do it."

"Region 4, uh, tell those elves to use less magic at the beginning. Let them fight sparingly. They'll need a bite of the food. Yes, repeat that to me exactly as you said."

"Area 5, Esdi's is still reliable. I don't have any orders. Please stand by."

"Same thing for Area 6. Alas, Esdi is the only one who can be worry-free. Stand by."

"Why are there so many fewer people in Area 7? Huh? The messenger arranging the inner city defense line called the wrong formation? Then why didn't you report it earlier! You pig! Are you standing here waiting to be whipped? Go and call them back!"

"In Area 8, have their commander temporarily allocate a small team to help defend Area 7. The enemy is about to climb the wall."

"Sector 9, sigh, if possible, I hope the commander can come to listen to more fire coverage saturation lessons in the future, and let them fire in a straight line, straight ahead, okay? Damn, no, how did strabismus get into the commander? Oh, no need to convey the last sentence."

"Area 10 is fine. Same orders as for Area 1. Tell them to stay put even if they have nothing else to do. Help out at the East Wall if you can."

This time, the attack of the El Empire was no longer a slow and probing attack like the one they had in Mingyue City. They seemed to understand that they had to make a concerted effort during a long journey. As the whistle changed again, several wide trails were immediately cleared in the middle of the rat army.

Several giant beasts that looked like rhinoceroses magnified countless times took heavy steps, crushed the corpses of ratmen on the road and charged forward at high speed. The ground shook slightly as they ran. Their ferocious horns were equipped with battering rams made of steel, and a huge metal tower shield was unfolded on it, arming the front armor to the extreme.

Flying crossbow arrows, rolling stones, and even some elven magic, could not even cause a ripple when hitting the tower shield that was like a wall.

The magic cannons on the wizard tower turned their muzzles and aimed at the galloping beasts.

The destructive beam shot over and hit the dark tower shield. The strong impact slowed down their running speed, but the imagined scene of the magic wave exploding did not happen. As the dense runes on the shield lit up one by one, the magic power of nearly ten magic cannons was completely absorbed by them!

Behind the El Empire, nearly a hundred Fox witches were surrounding an enormous cauldron and chanting spells. More than one-third of the boiling and bubbling liquid inside evaporated after this round of bombardment.

Seeing that the invincible magic cannon had failed, the soldiers on the city wall looked at the giant beast that was getting closer and closer with grim faces, and hurriedly grabbed anything solid around them, hugged the battlements tightly, or squatted down to lower their center of gravity.

"Hurry, hurry, hurry! Hold on tight! Don't get shaken off!"

The sound of the flute was sharp and high-pitched, and the rhythm was getting faster and faster. The giant beast's eyes were bloodshot, and it charged forward recklessly. Its ferocious horns slammed heavily into the dark city wall!

thump -- thump -- thump --

A large number of startled birds flew into the city. All the residents of Alice City heard the deafening sound that sounded almost continuously for more than a dozen times. They looked around in confusion. Those who knew the situation could not help but put their hands together and pray to the Supreme of Arcane for victory.

On the battlefield, Kyuubi Tamamo, who had originally looked confident of victory, suddenly put down her flute and frowned. The flute sounds behind her gradually died down along with her.

The soldiers who had prepared for the violent shaking of the city walls came to their senses after the sound stopped and suddenly realized that there seemed to be no vibration under their feet. It felt like they were walking barefoot in the sand in a shallow beach, and then a few small waves hit their feet, but there was only thunder but no rain.

Is this the end?

Rusalka laughed and pointed at the giant beasts on the screen without hesitation: "Is this what the El Empire is? Using their heads to crack pineapples, forcing them to do something they don't have the energy to do?"

The giant beast sat down on the ground in a daze, its head bleeding from all seven orifices due to the recoil force. Faced with this impact force that was invincible against city walls and even enough to smash a hill, a large pit with a depth of one meter was obviously dented on the black city wall in front of it.

However, compared with the city wall that is several meters thick, such traces are nothing. It would take at least six or seven collisions at the same point to barely make a small hole.

But such a wound is obviously unreasonable. Normally, the best city wall of a city should be built with stones on the inside, glued on, and then molten iron poured on the outside to form an iron wall. If it is hit by such a force, the internal material will be broken and the outer skin will separate and fall off, forming a network of weak points.

But now the wall of Alice City is more like a whole piece of soft metal that "deflated a piece". Not only did it not break, but it also absorbed most of the impact force and did not cause any trouble to the defenders.

"As expected of this royal city, known as the strongest in human history, it seems breaking through its walls is impossible." Tamamo looked at the obsidian gate. It was common knowledge that the city's liftable gates were stronger than the walls. Even Rusalka couldn't do anything about it, so she certainly didn't expect any luck. "Forget it, let's withdraw the siege beasts and focus on scaling the walls."

The sound of war drums rang out again, and suddenly a huge dark cloud floated in the distant sky.

But they were not dark clouds, but hobbits that blocked out the sun and sky, flapping their wings and clutching stones in their claws as they swooped down towards the city.

This is the most threatening unit. Even the highest city walls cannot stop the flying air force. If they are as fearless as the ratmen, they can simply use their claws to seal the defenders' faces to prevent them from shooting downwards and force them to draw their swords to fight.

Their extremely high maneuverability means they can advance or retreat, and can provide extreme harassment capabilities!

"Oh no! It's the Hobbits! It's the Hobbits! Watch out for their hurling stones! Hoplites, raise your shields and move forward to protect the crossbowmen!"

"Longbowmen, prepare!"

Ouch——

But what made the soldiers tremble more than the hobbits that covered the sky was the waves of wolf howls coming from behind. The gray wolves were galloping from the open road behind the giant beast.

And for some reason, the wolf howls at the south gate were particularly loud!

Sanita: (I woke up.)

"The beast sleeping in my body has awakened! Awooo——"

Rusalka slammed the table and jumped up, even overturning the chair behind him. He even raised his head and let out a strange cry, which scared all the heralds on standby.

"Listen up everyone, the El Empire is serious! So from now on, Grand Mage Sanita will take command of the overall situation on my behalf, and I will immediately go to the front lines to live and die with the soldiers! Malay!"

Dierdeer~

The group of handsome white horses peeked in from outside the door curtain, but the look in their eyes when they looked at Rusalka was filled with resentment and heartbreak.

Rusalka was bewildered, glancing at her empty ring slots. (Huh? After summoning once, reviving a mount doesn't require a ring slot anymore? That's great!)

Sunny Tower: (Is there a possibility that it didn't die before?)

Rusalka: (How could it be possible? So many people had arrived, and at that moment, heads were rolling. Everyone was in a mess. The killing was so raging, day and night, and it was just a pony, not even as good as the audience. How could it survive in such a place? I remember it clearly... Strange, when did it disappear?)

The answer is that it had been left inside the palace hall the whole time, and even Rusalka had closed the door!

Just now, Rusalka gave an order, triggering the conditions for "summoning" the mount, which gave it the opportunity to "teleport away" and shuttle to Rusalka's side.

Rusalka, immediately jump on your horse and drive towards the city wall!

Just when they were halfway there, the sound of the Sani Tower came from the top of the Mage Tower in the southwest.

"Hello everyone, I'm the archmage accompanying Lord Pearl Tear. From now on, I'll be guarding the southwest mage tower and commanding the defenders of the south wall. If the other tower masters don't mind, we can activate the sound transmission magic patterns between the mage towers and communicate with each other through the sound transmission channels inside the mage towers. Now the southwest mage tower is about to activate the wide-area flight ban. Countdown is 30 seconds. Longbowmen, do not fire in the air. Focus your firepower on the wolf cavalry on the ground. I repeat, longbowmen, do not fire in the air. Focus your firepower on the wolf cavalry on the ground."

"Southeast Tower seconded the motion. The defenders of the city wall can temporarily ignore the air threat. Countdown 28 seconds."

"Northwest Tower seconded the motion. We will also implement a wide-area no-fly zone. The Hobbits are nothing to fear. Countdown: 27 seconds."

Northeast... The Northeast Tower did not respond. The mages of the Drey Family and the Oaks Family were anxiously analyzing this newly built Mage Tower. Because the core was chopped up by Theresa, the Mage Tower now had to be artificially powered by magic.

For them, finding out the function of the magic pattern circuit in the main control room and the corresponding position of the main magic supply circuit was as difficult as finding the corresponding socket of the wire without a blueprint. They were simply groping in the dark, and there was no time to test it, let alone keep up with the communication for a while.

"Damn, haven't you found it yet? What circuit is the 22nd one testing now?"

"Report to the teacher, it seems that the heating magic pattern has lit up!"

"You useless idiot! How long will the test last at this rate? By the time we're done, the El Empire will starve to death!"

"This magic ladder is unusable. We are urgently building a ladder upstairs, my lord!"

"Damn it! Send a messenger over and tell them we still haven't figured out the tower's structure! Request the mage towers on both sides to temporarily support this area, quickly!

Thus, this pigeon message from the Internet age was quickly launched.

However, as wise as Sunny Iron Tower, he immediately guessed the chaotic situation there: "Oh, the Northeast is probably unable to operate smoothly due to technical reasons. Can the Southeast and Northwest provide assistance? Over."

"No problem. I'll send my disciples to provide support and teach them how to operate the Northeast Tower. If it doesn't work, immediately send a mage to the city wall to cast the forbidden air spell."

"Southwest Tower, what does 'Ouvir' mean?"

Sanita: "It means the end."

But he seemed to have forgotten the mage's ever-growing thirst for knowledge. Even in this tense battle situation and the countdown for a wide-area spellcasting, the Southeast Tower Master continued to ask, "What language is this? Why have I never heard of it? Is it some language of ancient intelligent creatures?"

Sanita was silent for a moment, then replied, "It's the language of the fishmen."

"Oh, Your Excellency is quite knowledgeable. It's true that there's no friendship without fighting. After the war, why don't we meet and have a discussion, not about positions, but about magic. I'm very curious about this Murloc language. After reading it carefully, I feel it's quite interesting. It's really wonderful. Ouch."

Youkuli, the owner of Southwest Tower, responded: "Yes, it is true that this hasn't been held in decades, Ouvir."

Well, there's no need to be so flattering. Even the English accent is so off, and the context is wrong! I always feel like Rusalka's 5-intelligence meme is polluting the world.

"it is good."

But he had to admit that he was a little moved.

Chapter 311: Prison Iron Wall Alice Royal City (4)

Only by standing on the top of the city wall and looking down can one feel the shock brought by the endless army of ratmen and their corpses.

Then Rusalka pulled out a lute from behind her back.

Yes, a pipa.

Fingers run across the pipa strings.

【The instrument was successfully tested.】

"Alice~Eight Hundred Miles~was once a fertile land in the kingdom~"

Bang Bang Lang tied up. Bang Bang Bang~

The soldiers around were stunned by Rusalka.

Where did this bard come from? Oh my god, this is our Lord of Pearl Tears! He is so talented!

Ever since the soldiers followed Rusalka on his journey to battle, they discovered that while their lord continued to grow in the flames of war, he also seemed to have gradually become an existence that was difficult for them to understand. However, this was completely different from the unfathomable nature of the great wizard Sanita. It was hard to explain, but there was a feeling that once you got to know him deeply, you would step into some kind of abyss from which there was no turning back, and you felt a chill down your spine.

Is this the divine messenger that mortals cannot fathom or peek into?!

"One day, a rat plague arose out of nowhere, a thick fog filled the air and left no trace of human beings~"
