Now turn the perspective to the front line. Vertex X23US

According to Lian Ying's astonishing flying speed, Luo Ji's letter was delivered to Gao Wen on the front line within a short period of time.

After reading the letter and confirming that reinforcements from the opposite player had arrived, Gawain's next actions were decisive and cautious.

At the same time, he was secretly glad in his heart. Fortunately, he moved quite swiftly and captured the Horn City before the reinforcements came in from the opposite side.

Otherwise, once the reinforcements from the opposite player come in, things may change again.

Amidst the sound of artillery fire, the siege army under Gawain launched an attack on the enemy's next stronghold.

It was not a city, but a transit station between cities.

Of course, a more appropriate term would be a military fortress!

Judging from the shape, it looks a bit like a medieval castle.

The military fortress in front of us is undoubtedly an important hub connecting the Horn City and several cities behind it.

A military fortress like this is basically used to store troops, and not many ordinary people live there.

After evacuating Horn City, the troops led by Kaladin Black Iron undoubtedly retreated all the way to this military fortress called Black Mountain Castle.

And just like the name of this military fortress, it is located on a bare black mountain. There is basically not much vegetation visible on the surface of the mountain. It is bare and basically consists of only stones. The Horn City is located on

At the foot of the mountain.

The geographical location of Black Mountain Fort is a typical mountainous area, and the steep terrain has a relatively obvious impact on the troops of other races except the orc troops.

This undoubtedly affected the combat capabilities of the soldiers to a certain extent.

After a simple combat meeting with Du Yuanzhi, Guo Zhen and others, Gao Wen decided to launch a tentative attack first.

There may be new troops in the Black Mountain Fort opposite, or the supporting players may be ambushing nearby.

Whether it is a mule or a horse, you have to take it out for a walk before you know it!

In this way, with the idea of ​​​​testing the other party's reality, this scene happened!

Judging from the current situation alone, Black Mountain Castle's closed defense capabilities seem to be much better than those of some ordinary cities.

A large number of dwarf musketeers and dwarf artillerymen, under the cover of the fortress buildings, fired wildly at the Western Army outside. Pieces of projectiles and cannonballs wreaked havoc on the battlefield.

The closed shape of Black Mountain Castle made it a lot more difficult for the Elf archers responsible for sniping. For a while, there was a tendency to be inseparable.

From this simple fighting process, it can be said that Gawain clearly felt the change in the form of war.

From a player's perspective, the fortifications and buildings of this dwarf civilization have, to a large extent, begun to serve thermal weapons such as firearms and cannons.

The Black Mountain Fort in front of you is the best proof.

According to this momentum, it is estimated that within a few decades, thermal weapons will occupy an absolutely dominant position in John Thrall's dwarf civilization.

Of course, this is nothing to Gawain.

What about thermal weapons? There are mage troops on their side of the Civilization of All Realms. Are there any on the opposite side?

There was no ambiguity at all. He just listened to Gawain's order and directly ordered the junior earth mages to join forces to perform the second-level earth wall technique.

The earth wall raised from the ground created a good bunker for their siege troops in a short period of time.

This miraculous method made the dwarf soldiers on the opposite side of Black Mountain Castle stunned for a moment. Obviously, Gawain had never used this skill before.

Taking advantage of the cover of the earth wall, the siege troops in the rear quickly began to seize the time to advance forward.

When the earth wall was completely destroyed by the artillery fire from the opposite side, the siege troops of the Western Army opened fire completely!

The building of Black Mountain Castle can be regarded as a defensive building as a whole. In other words, Gawain's talent effect is completely effective on this military fortress.

The flying artillery shells and heavy crossbow bolts directly bombarded the wall of Black Mountain Castle, showing amazing destructive power.

The building shook violently, causing the pressure on Kaladin's black iron body inside Black Mountain Castle to increase dramatically.

The opponent's way of calling the door was too enthusiastic. After two rounds of artillery bombardment, the garrison troops who could not withstand the pressure decisively came out to fight.

Gao Wen didn't take care of that unit. He basically left the command of the main force to Du Yuanzhi.

As for himself, at this time, he was seriously searching for traces of the opponent's reinforcements.

"Where are they? If the support soldiers are really nearby, then considering the time, it's almost time to come out, right?"

Just as Gawain was thinking this, violent shouts of killing suddenly erupted from behind a mountainous area. A well-equipped human army decisively entered the battlefield from one side and rushed straight towards the location of the Western Army.

According to the information mentioned in John Thrall's request for help, the main force sent by Robert Oates in this wave of support battles was the Shield Axe Troops.

As infantry, they can basically adapt to fighting in mountainous terrain. At the same time, as shield and ax soldiers, the destructive power of the battle ax will undoubtedly be more effective against the thick-skinned orcs.

From this, it can be clearly seen that he has obviously put in the effort.

However, this battle between bosses is really dangerous. As a 'free unit', the player is also a 'high-value unit'. Although going with the army can greatly improve the chance of winning, considering his own life

, he really didn’t come over in person to join in the fun.

Under this premise, Robert Oates sent 20,000 troops and a general under his command. It was interesting no matter how you thought about it.

Even if asked in the alliance afterwards, he would be able to explain it. If the support is successful, it would be better to sell John Thrall a favor!

A normal dwarf civilization would not have such a large number of human troops.

Don't think too much, this must be the player coming in for support from the opposite side.

Gawain's eyes jumped when he saw the astonishing number of troops.

There was no time to think too much, so he decisively let the mage troops who were ready to attack throw a round of attack spells at them.

The thunderstorm technique, the continuous bombardment of bursting fireballs and gale bombs have an outstanding effect.

However, Gawain couldn't stand the crowds on the other side, so he simply blew the retreat horn and temporarily withdrew to the Horn City, which had been completely occupied by them.

Anyway, his tentative goal has been achieved in this wave, and it will not do him any good to continue fighting with the coalition army in front of him, which has already surpassed them in terms of strength.
