Chapter 253, Magic Academy
Every province in the human empire has its own magic academy, and the Golden Province is no exception. Golden Wheatfield Academy, a seemingly inconspicuous academy, once stood out in the trend of living magic. Among them, the graduated mages have specialized in agricultural magic, ranging from the planting and cultivation of magic plants to the selection and cultivation of ordinary crops. They are all special skills of the Golden Wheatfield Academy.
Another name that people once forgot was the Academy of Rock and Earth.
High walls were raised on the ground, and ravines were pulled out. Among the military mages, many were graduates of the Golden Wheatfield Academy. The earth was manipulated by their combined efforts, and a rough fortress was quickly taking shape.
This academy and its students are the Stargazing Pope’s biggest bargaining chip. To be fair, he has nothing to talk about with these mages who don’t believe in gods. There is also a guy from the first magic academy in the empire who shouts about gods and humans. They are no different fanatics. It is difficult for the two groups to come together. Each of them is not interested in the other.
Until now, the situation has changed. It is difficult for colleges with too loose structures to bring their forces together. This is destined to make it difficult for them to have a decisive say and be affected by the environment.
But now, he is the real controller in Mountain Dew City.
The Stargazing Pope has the qualifications to use this Golden Wheatfield Academy as a bargaining chip. In this great incident, this group of mages who are good at agriculture and architecture are naturally wanted by many big shots. They are excellent bargaining chips. .
outside the city.
In the simple fortress that was newly built in a very short time, the human soldiers were ready.
Being prepared to resist the rat-men attack, rounds of fireballs were thrown out, creating waves in the dark tide, but had no other impact.
It wasn't just the military mages who were casting magic, the magic pattern armors on each magic knight also began to shine.
Said to be knights, in fact, these guys can be regarded as an all-round military force. A qualified magic knight will master various skills one by one before reaching adulthood, such as riding, swordsmanship, archery, shield attack, spear, soldier, etc. Attack, fighting skills, and command studies, these are all things they have to learn. Strictly speaking, they are all trained in the direction of commanders.
As nobles they also had their own territories and armies.
But now they gave up riding horses and held onto shields and swords. Encouragement spells and buff spells lit up on their bodies, blessing the soldiers around them.
During the long period of peace, the number of magic knights has been increasing, especially in the rich area of the Golden Province.
They were supposed to have their own guards and attendants, but the appearance and sweep of the rat men was so sudden.
Even if the village is captured and the gate of the castle is broken, if these magic knights want to escape, as long as they don't run into the large army led by Rat Zhan, they will most likely be faced with ordinary rat teams or even rat warlords. Able to rush out.
But after escaping their own territory in embarrassment, their only option was to stay in Mountain Dew City.
After losing their territory and guards, it is not surprising that they were filled into the guard army.
After all, although knights are nobles, they are only the lowest level of nobles.
In the mottled and messy light, the magic knights clenched their shields and faced the dark tide that was about to arrive. Facing an enemy of this size, it is normal to be nervous. The ordinary guards behaved even more unbearably. Holding the spear in his hand, he didn't even notice that his hands turned red unknowingly.
The magic knights were demoted to fill the defensive front, but another team mounted their war horses. Hidden behind the rough fortress raised from the earth by magic in front of the city were the Holy See Knights.
A group of solemn Holy See knights are making preparations. On the bright breastplate of the leader, a purple gem is embedded in the chest.
On the towering city wall, the city guard's crossbow began to turn the winch under the control of the guards, preparing to fire.
These things have been gathering dust in Mountain Dew City's logistics warehouse for a long time. After the Magic Academy was officially established and more and more mages began to integrate into the human empire, these things just seemed less necessary.
The mages are really too versatile.
Until this time, there were simply too many Skaven.
The black tide with no end in sight is pressing in crazily.
The huge trebuchet on the side of the Ratmen began to operate, and huge rocks roared in one after another. The military mages hurriedly began to call out the strong wind.
There are so many things that need to be done by these military mages. Even though the number of military mages appearing on the battlefield is not rare at this time, they are still extremely busy among many matters.
There was no time to spare to suppress the approaching tide of ratmen, which is why these old antiques were rummaged out from the logistics department and re-erected on the walls of Mountain Dew City.
The two sides officially collided.
Compared with the towering and glorious city wall, this temporarily built fortress is really not a difficult challenge for the rat people. Even without relying on long ladders, the rat people can easily climb on the outer wall of this fortress. Climb.
Soon, this earth-yellow fortress was dyed gray-black, and countless surging rat warriors almost completely submerged this quick fortress, and began to fight with the defenders stationed inside.
With the blessing of buffing magic, the strength, speed, physical strength and defense of these city guards have been greatly improved, and they can easily suppress and kill a single rat warrior in battle.
A somewhat nervous city guard thrust out the spear in his hand. The ferocious-looking rat warrior in front of him wanted to resist and raised the round shield in his hand. However, in response to the city guard who was blessed by all aspects, he It was a bit difficult to resist. The buckler was used as a shield and the spear penetrated the chest. The ferocious look on his face did not dissipate. The expression on his face was unbelievable. After easily killing the rat warrior who climbed up, this nervous The city guards showed a little more courage and pulled out their spears. The rat warrior in front of them fell down from the fortress. However, the battle was far from over. The rat warrior who fell down the fortress was obviously just the beginning. More rats would follow. The human soldiers climbed up, and the fighting continued.
The church knights were ready, and the charge was about to begin. Under the endless forward pressure of the rat men, there was no way for the human side to really bring down a fortress.
Even with the help of a large number of graduated mages from Golden Wheatfield Academy, it is impossible.
This is just a test. If the Rat Man only has these things to show, then he will not hesitate to drop the fortress outside the city, and use each fortress to forcefully open up the Rat Man's blockade of Mountain Dew City. The hub city was left behind.
The location of the hub has been chosen, an abandoned mine located on a raised hill. As long as enough Golden Wheat Field mages participate, soon, this abandoned mine and the raised hill can be transformed into A fortified fortress city.
As long as the rat people's blockade of Mountain Dew City is broken, a new transit city will be established, as an independent city that attracts the rat people's attention, and as a hub connecting Mountain Dew City with the human provinces behind.
If the hub falls, then the deadlock is half broken.
