It was rumored that the Grey Beastmen weren't natives of the Raging Flame Plane. Their ancestors seemed to have come from another place, and the Grey Beastmen also came from another place, but they had lived in the Raging Flame Plane for countless years. Even the other Beastmen of the Raging Flame Plane didn't think that the Grey Beastmen were outsiders.
And this fort clearly didn't conform to the Beastmen's style. Their fort was a neat square.
From a distance, the city wall looked like it had been cut out of a huge piece of gray stone. The city wall was also flashing with the luster of a metal plate. There were also traces of mana fluctuations that could be clearly sensed from several kilometers away.
Lin Yun couldn't help being startled. He didn't know what kind of material the inside of the walls was made of, but the outside was covered in a layer of magic metal.
Moreover, every metal plate was covered in a small array with numerous decorative patterns, forming a formidable defensive effect.
Moreover, after these gray metal plates were assembled, they would form a huge array. This wall was a huge array formation, and the defensive effect it brought was very frightening. Spells below the 6th Tier simply wouldn't have any effect on the surface of the walls.
Moreover, huge and strange puppets could be seen standing on the walls. They looked like huge mana crystal cannons with long legs.
Sure enough, when the fleeing Grey Beastmen entered the fort, fierce mana fluctuations came from the puppets on the walls. They could clearly feel it from a distance.
Glaring flames started converging in the mouths of those mana cannons, and after five seconds, a loud sound echoed as a ten-meter-wide fireball burst out towards the pursuing puppet army.
Each puppet shot a ten-meter-wide fireball that fiercely exploded on the ground a few hundred meters in front of the fort.
"Rumble …"
A thunderous rumble echoed as a huge ravine appeared in front of the Sword Puppet, as if a layer of the earth had been lifted.
And just as these puppets started casting, Lin Yun had already made the mage army and the puppet army stop their pursuit.
Otherwise, these few huge Fireballs would have destroyed a dozen sword puppets.
"Lord Merlin, what do we do now?"
Xiuban anxiously looked at Lin Yun with a worried expression. Those Grey Beastmen were too fragile, they would be killed if they weren't careful.
Lin Yun waved his hand.
"Let's surround them first …"
Lin Yun had just finished speaking when a large group of puppets and Grey Beastmen appeared on the metal-like wall.
Black holes could be seen on the surface of the city walls covered in decorative patterns, and strange puppets that looked like mana crystal cannons came out of those holes.
In an instant, a large number of Grey Beastmen started casting spells at Lin Yun's side, and the earth-shattering spells were like a four-colored rain falling down.
As for the mana crystal cannon-like puppets on the city walls, they kept casting, and the puppets in the holes on the city walls followed suit.
Glaring flames blossomed, and ten-meter-wide Fireballs burst out of the holes and flew towards Lin Yun's side.
The Grey Beastmen's counterattack was unexpectedly powerful.
And on this side, the casting puppets and the mage army were casting together, and a flood of spells rushed towards the walls of the Grey Beastmen's fort. The decorative patterns on the surface of the city walls shone brightly.
A faint layer of light covered the surface of the city walls, and as the spells fell on it, they only managed to expand the range of the decorative patterns, but they simply couldn't damage the city walls.
On the contrary, the Grey Beastmen were unscrupulously casting, and after half a minute, Lin Yun led his people to retreat. The Grey Beastmen's attacks started slowing down when they were five to six hundred meters away.
At that distance, unless an Archmage was casting, it would be very difficult to have such a large attack range. Only the five-meter-tall mana crystal cannon-like puppets could have such a large attack range.
But the attack frequency of these puppets was too low. After releasing a dozen-meter-wide Fireball, they would have to stop for close to a minute before they could cast again. The time it took to gather power was too long every time they cast.
After determining the direction of attack, they simply couldn't change it. There were too many flaws, and they simply couldn't compare to the mana crystal cannons. Although they were powerful, they didn't have much use apart from defending the city. The Grey Beastmen seemed to know the flaws of these puppets, so they didn't make many, only a dozen.
Those ten-meter-wide fireballs were comparable to the strongest 7th Tier Spells. When facing a large group of enemies, they could cover an area of ten meters, and after exploding, they could cover an area of several dozen meters. The deterrent power of that kind of spell was the greatest.
Lin Yun led his people to retreat, but he didn't keep attacking. He just surrounded the Grey Beastmen's fort.
Before coming, Lin Yun knew that the Grey Beastmen's fort would be a very hard bone to chew, but he hadn't expected them to be so afraid of death.
The city walls were over thirty meters tall, and the surface of the walls was covered in a layer of magic-resistant metal.
That metal was an excellent magic metal. In human nations, it could be used to make magic-resistant plate armor and could be sold in alchemy shops. But in the Grey Beastmen's territory, it was being used as bricks for city walls.
Moreover, to achieve that effect, the thickness of that alloy metal was definitely thicker than the thickness of the plate armor. Moreover, there was also the alchemy treatment, the carving of arrays, the laying of patterns and runes, and even the linking of every metal plate with the metal plate next to it. Only an official Alchemist could barely attempt such a thing.
And looking at the city walls, each side was several kilometers long, and the number of metal plates needed was huge. Even if almost all the Grey Beastmen knew some alchemy, and the number of Alchemists they had was enough to make one's hair stand on end, it would still take several dozen years to complete the magic resistant metal plates on the surface of the city walls, even if they had enough materials and the entire race worked together.
It might take a few hundred years to complete this scene.
Lin Yun couldn't help sighing, 'Truly extravagant …'
The resources these Grey Beastmen used to build this city wall could make a large Family go bankrupt. All the forces of the Kingdom of Andalusia would be able to gather the resources needed to build this fort's city wall.
Moreover, those arrays were clearly rare Unranked Arrays. A metal plate was the most ordinary array, but if enough of them were piled up together, the rank of the array would become higher and higher.
In theory, as long as it was big enough, the rank of the array would be limitless, and its power would also be limitless. If these Grey Beastmen were given a few hundred years to keep expanding the city walls, the number of metal plates would keep increasing, and it wouldn't be impossible for them to gather together to form a Heaven Grade Array.
At that time, even a Heaven Rank powerhouse might not be able to break through these Grey Beastmen's city walls!
The stronger the attack, the larger the range of the arrays on the metal plates. As long as they didn't exceed the reaction or bearing limits of these metal plates, they wouldn't be able to destroy a single brick of the city wall.
This kind of crazy method was rarely seen even at the peak of Noscent's development. How afraid of death were they? How insecure were they?
Lin Yun knew that the Grey Beastmen valued protecting their own things because of their weak bodies. This was also the reason why the puppeteer technology had been imprinted in their blood and lifestyle, but he hadn't expected these guys to build such a tortoise shell.
Lin Yun led his people to retreat, not making any unnecessary sacrifices. His Magic Array had already captured the patterns of the array on the city wall, and he kept combining those patterns with runes to see how this array could be cracked.
Lin Yun didn't attack, and the Grey Beastmen didn't dare to attack, so they were in a deadlock.
After two days, the situation was still the same. As long as Lin Yun's subordinates got a bit closer, the Grey Beastmen patrolling the city walls would immediately crazily cast spells to attack.
Unless they could break through the entrance of the Grey Beastmen's fort, such a powerful attack wouldn't have much effect. It would only increase the casualties, and flying through the air was even more out of the question. There was a huge anti-aircraft tower every few hundred meters, and they could clearly feel that the tower was always operating. As long as anything approached the defensive range of the fort, it would suffer a terrifying attack like a live target.
The main target of the anti-aircraft towers was the sky, and in order to strengthen this point, all the anti-aircraft towers couldn't attack the people close to the walls or on the ground.
Flying wouldn't work, and it would be impossible to break through the walls on the ground, so they could only think of a way to attack from the entrance.
On the 3rd day, the Grey Beastmen decided to defend to the death and simply didn't come out. Lin Yun started circling around the Grey Beastmen's fort.
It was such a huge city, and the entire Grey Beastman race was in contact with puppeteering, so they needed a lot of water. Apart from normal drinking and washing, the amount of water they needed for other areas was several times more than this.
The entire fort was sealed, so how could they use the water they brought?
The fort was adjacent to the junction of two rivers. Normally, they wouldn't need to worry about water, but now that the fort was sealed, they weren't nervous at all. Moreover, they could see many workshops' chimneys continuously emitting black smoke, showing that they were building puppets with all their strength.
