The spell defense tower is actually more accurately called the spell focused energy launcher, and the entire tower is built using a magic guide device, and mages only need to output their own mental power to activate the magic guide device, and then send out a spell attack that has been fixed.
High-end towers can be equipped with quite powerful magic devices, but unfortunately due to the rush of time, they can't build better towers, and even these rather rudimentary towers are already the limit speed of architects.
Xiao Lin gently stroked the metal with an inky black luster, this is the magic guide device, the so-called magic guide, can be explained as using magic energy as a guiding force, and the specific related courses will not be opened until the third year, and now Xiao Lin does not need to know the principle, he just needs to know how to operate.
The specific operation was actually two days before they had received special training from the architect, and the operation method was not difficult, Xiao Lin pressed his hands on the smooth metal plates on both sides of the platform, and after a flash of light, the magic guide device like an iron box began to quickly become brighter and hotter.
The emitter port of the magic guide device is also very peculiar, not similar to a cannon barrel, but a flat and slender silver metal piece, the inside of the magic guide device changes quickly, almost in the blink of an eye, this piece of metal becomes red, and the color continues to darken, extremely dazzling, and then Xiao Lin only felt the hands holding the metal plate tremble, and then an amazing wave of air sprayed out from behind the launch pad.
If it weren't for the fact that the top of the defense tower was sealed, Xiao Lin estimated that he would have to be directly rushed out by the air waves, and then he couldn't help but think that the architect, Captain Yu, seemed to have reminded them, because they were in a hurry, and some inconsequential things were omitted during the construction of the spell defense tower, such as buffer devices and so on.
The metal sheet of the emitter shone brightly enough to emit a crimson beam of light that burst out.
Like a laser, it exploded directly in the orc infantry formation.
At least four or five orcs were blown to pulp on the spot, and flesh and blood flew everywhere.
They couldn't even tell the difference between their hands and feet, their seemingly thick armor was as fragile as papier-mâché under the attack of the spell tower.
The power of the Spell Towers scared the hearts of the freshmen who had never seen anything like this before.
Then there was enough curiosity that more people left the fort and climbed the tower.
But the number of spell towers is still very small, accounting for less than one-fifth of all towers, and more are mainly arrow towers, which are attack towers equipped with large machine crossbows or repeating crossbows and other launchers, and the power is much inferior to spell towers, 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, the operation is indeed very cumbersome, after each launch, you need to replace the metal plate of the launch port, the architect Captain Yu told them, on this kind of low-level spell tower, the metal plate is a consumable, and it must be replaced after one launch, otherwise it will be overloaded and overheated, and the next launch will most likely destroy the tower directly.
Xiao Lin didn't dare to take this risk, and hurriedly got up after the launch to replace it.
It was his first time operating, and not to mention the clumsy technique, the metal piece that had just been launched was still extremely hot.
Even if there is clear water on the defense tower, it is still quite troublesome to replace it every time.
After Xiao Lin took the lead, other defense towers joined the ranks of attacks one after another, the operation of the large machine crossbow of the arrow tower was much simpler, and the huge arrows continued to break through the air, and the people who operated the machine crossbow were all students who took the bow and arrow course, and their hit rate was much higher than that of others, but the large machine crossbow also had a very inconvenient place, that is, it rotated very slowly.
Fortunately, after the orcs spread out the formation, the battle line was very long, and many times there was no need to turn.
The dense arrows make up for the disadvantage of the lack of lethality of individual objects to a certain extent.
Since a large number of large arrows were found in the ordnance equipment in the warehouse, which could be used by crossbows, they did not need to have any idea of using them sparingly.
On the Spell Tower's side, the attack interval is long.
However, the destructive power of each attack is quite amazing, the attacks of these spell towers are mainly based on fire energy, and the accompanying combustion effect is very effective on grassy plains, and the spreading flames can also slow the orc's advancement.
The people standing on the fortress were not idle, everyone was mobilized to attack with all long-range weapons, it didn't matter if they didn't take the arrow course, the most basic bow and arrow will always be, as for what they can shoot, it doesn't matter at all, there are thousands of orc infantry, it looks like the mountains are all over the field is brown, shoot arrows at the pile of people, there will always be a guy who doesn't have long eyes and will be very unlucky to hit a few arrows.
The orc infantry was just as crazy, at least from what Xiao Lin had witnessed, he had seen several orcs get several arrows in their bodies, and even one of their arms was blown off, still howling and desperately charging up the hillside.
Judging from the battle scenes, Xiao Lin and they did suppress the orcs throughout the whole process, although at the beginning the wolf cavalry used their bodies to lay out all the traps on the way, but the subsequent orc infantry 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 that they would erect so many defense towers in just a few days.
Dawning Academy is undoubtedly very well prepared for this landing operation, and the group of architects who came with the ship are almost all the elites of Dawning, on the one hand, they were ordered to build the resurrection tower, and in order to hold the fortress, they also don't mind spending part of their energy to build the defense tower, and the other students are very aware of the difficulty and importance of this monthly exam, no matter how much they complain, there is really no one who will be lazy when helping to build.
Needless to say, the orcs may have expected the landing operation of the Dawning Academy, but they did not expect to be subjected to such fierce resistance, they were indeed fierce, and the orc charge barely stopped for a moment throughout the afternoon, wave after wave of continuous attacks like a tide, and they no longer knew how many corpses they left behind on the way.
Xiao Lin couldn't remember how many times he had replaced the metal pieces, anyway, the clear water used to cool the tower had already been used up by him, and it was impossible for him to go back to get water when the fierce battle was more intense, and then he thought of the spell water shield technique he had learned before the monthly exam.
This spell is to use the water shield condensed by the water element for a short period of defense, but the use of the water shield to cool down the firing metal piece is more aspect, and the water shield can last for several minutes if it is not attacked, which means that Xiao Lin can even use it two or three times in a row.
