Chapter 946
"Gentlemen, get ready!"
In a tower of the ring fortress, Bird Lyle with a wand standing in the center of the magic array, his eyes could not help but Glancing at the tall tower in the distance, the silhouette that still stands still.
As a mentor of the nine-pointed star wizard tower and an important follower of the Corona family, mentor Byrd Lyle never thought that the wizard who called himself "Ain Rand" would one day become an empire The duke himself would become a member of his army.
Of course, he didn't expect Eboden, the city of wealth and wisdom, and it will also become a battlefield for the empire and the elves.
Around the magic array, the young wizards lean against the wall shiver coldly; they have been in the laboratory almost since the apprenticeship—not to mention such a grand battlefield, even if they gather at the same time I have never experienced an occasion with tens of thousands of people.
The low lining of the explosion, the exclamation and screams of the soldiers, the coughing in the smoke, the rush of footsteps, the quiet residence or the angry roars and screams...even if you stay in a safe tower, These young wizards also shiver coldly, hamster-like eyes motionless staring at the entrance of the tower
As if if one is inattentive, there will be fierce spirits, as if a warrior wielding a long knife rushed in.
With a sigh, Bird Lyle withdrew his gaze-if it weren't for the magic array that urged the ice shield, at least six wizards would be needed. He really didn't want to bring this group of child wizards to the battlefield.
"Everyone is in place!"
Bird Lyle, with a solemn expression, raised the magic wand in his hand.
The nine-pointed star demon array at your feet blooms with gray and blue rays of light, which are filled with unknown colors and brought by at the same time, and there are still thick and terrifying void residues.
Forcibly resisting the horror caused by the remnants of the void, the complexion pale young wizards stood around the magic array, using their spiritual palace with the effect of the magic array, and began to manipulate this gathering Power up.
Wizards who have not reached the point where they can open the valve, although they can’t do the same as the Alberd Master’s instructions to Void Power; but at least they can use the set magic array to Their own spiritual palace is the carrier to complete this high-level curse that they can't use at all.
At this moment, the golden red "beam of light" in the distance has risen from the sea, leaving an elegant and smooth "arc of light" in the sky, looking towards where Loren ·Torino is. Go away from the tower.
The interception must be completed before being hit!
Raising the wand aloft, Byrd Lyle suddenly opened his right hand toward the direction of the "beam of light", angered:
"Open the barrier and stop it——!"
The young wizards gritted their teeth one after another, and the green veins exposed on their foreheads and temples proved that they were suffering at this moment.
Boom————! ! ! !
The flames exploded in the air, and there were large cracks on the "blue wall" that flashed past, and it was more serious than before!
But this time, the "blue wall" did not disappear immediately, but stayed in the air, and repaired the cracked part at a speed visible to naked eye; it didn't gradually disappear until it was completely restored to the original state.
The young wizards around the magic array knelt down and slumped on the ground.
Bird Lyle was finally relaxed, her solemn expression still glancing at that silhouette on the tower from time to time.
This is only the first day.
This war...Eboden...wizard tower...self...
Can it really last for a month?
……………………………
On the sea, the Azores fleet is still struggling the city wall of Eboden; gold red’s Under the scarlet's sunset, the dazzling sparks bloomed again and again in the sky, reflecting the sky gradually shrouded by stars.
Compared with the beginning, no matter the length of the interval or the formidable power, it is obvious that the same day cannot be said, and even the density has begun to show a downward trend.
After noticing that it was unable to tear through the defense of the ice shield, the Elf Fleet never used the first salvo, and instead started to aim at a fixed point, aiming all the "launchers" at one point and concentrated strikes , I hope to open the gap in the barrier.
But after the wizard tower reacted in time, not only was it unsuccessful, but even the original weaknesses were also strengthened. Although the ammunition projected by the catapult itself was stone ammunition, it made it The burning and the ability to hit five hundred moves are all derived from the effects of the catapult itself.
After being offset by the collapse of the cold ice shield, the stone ball that has endured excessive Void Power has also turned into a powder.
On the other hand, after several rounds of strikes, the defenders of Eboden began to become accustomed to the enemy’s "flaming stone cannons", and did not lose one's head out of fear as they did at the beginning. .
The night is getting darker, the dim sunset gradually sinks into the horizon, and a faint mist appears on the sea level, covering the entire fleet of elves; the damp and cold sea breeze blows on the city wall of Eboden, The last trace of burning flames was also completely erased.
"The enemy... seems to have given up?"
On the brightly lit city wall, the "Silver Blood" standing on the edge of the parapet muttered to himself in a low voice, alert Close to the wall stack: "From the beginning, there have been no signs of attacking for a quarter of an hour."
"Yes, thanks to the wizards in the nine-pointed star tower, otherwise We haven’t waited to see those long-eared monsters, probably all have been burned to death or smashed to death."
The lingering "Black Blade" was sitting on the ground leaning against the wall, half of his face was It’s the traces of being burnt, coldly snorted: "Thanks to the wizards, it’s not clear that I didn’t die."
"Of course, if it wasn’t for these wizards, and that Lord Duke...I’ve already taken a large commission and went so far, so I don’t need to wait here to die!"
Look at the foul-mouthed "black blade" still there, silver The blood couldn't help but wrinkle frowned.
"I said...Do you really think that the promise the poisonous snake gave you is true?"
Black Blade was taken aback, sneered and shrugged: "A fool can I believe in that bastard! But... he will never betray himself, will he? As long as he can get enough commissions, it doesn't matter if he is more greedy..."
"He didn't want to be more greedy." Silver Blood sighed then said: "From the very beginning, we are the bait and tools he used to coerce and confuse Eboden!"
"Bait?"
" After negotiating with the Duke of Loren Torino, I realized-if the city wall of Eboden falls, where are we going to flee? Sackland, Lotaire, Aleman... the army of the emperors and dukes of the empire , They are all coming towards Eboden!"
"As for the road of no return to the elves...that can only be nothing serious; they are very powerful, but they are willing to take in even after surrendering We, waiting for the army from all over the empire to encircle Eboden, we must be the first to be sent out to die and test!"
Black Blade is a little unbelievable: "is it possible that, poisonous snake That guy is only going to flee with his people..."
"No, you can see from his subordinates that this guy even lied to his own people--how could it be possible to let him in a city with strong walls? Thousands of people retreat calmly?" Silver Blood shook his head: "I guess he is the only one who can escape from Eboden in his real plan."
"Plus...all the commissions that belong to all of us. "
Hei Blade's face finally turned a little ugly.
On the stretch of city wall, trembling in fear, all day mercenaries began to rest near the wall in small groups, chatting with each other, none of them noticed their leader’s growing Iron-green face.
"These are just your guesses...What's more, where would you be able to work for the lord of the duke? Isn't it the same to die?" The fierce black blade coldly said: "He deliberately kept it. The poisonous snake, isn’t it just trying to threaten us?!"
"Yes, that’s it."
Silver Blood exhaled: "At the end of this war Before, he would not let us go-but on the other hand, before the end of the war, he would not let us die easily."
"This is the only difference."
The two frowned, staring at each other with solemn eyes.
"Boom——————!!!"
A loud noise came, without warning!
The two of them only had time to feel a shaking, and got up abruptly, looking towards the direction from which the explosion sounded-they only saw that a elven battleship suddenly ignited on the dark sea Raging fire!
The tongue of fire that was more than ten meters long was spitting out, and it was incomparable eye-catching under the night sky...and even the surrounding wizard battleship was also "illuminated".
"This is..." Black Blade looked towards the distant direction in astonishment:
"What's the situation?!"
"It seems like the enemy is on the battleship The trebuchet suddenly exploded." The blood of the silver was stunned, and muttered in a low voice: "Looking at this posture, it's not surprising that the battleship sinks."
"Sure enough... such a terrifying weapon , Isn't it flawless..."
At this moment, the city wall behind him suddenly burst into thunderous cheers.
A few quarters of an hour ago, the mercenaries who were still in the flames, shiver coldly hiding behind the wall, are now standing up with their necks excitedly, beating their weapons happily, taking pleasure in other people's Misfortune is at its extreme.
It seems that the elf has been defeated.
The sighed silver blood no longer pays attention to the black blade that is also dancing to the point of jumping up beside him, silently standing by the wall and staring at the dazzling fire light in the distance.
An inexplicable idea suddenly flooded his mind.
Dangerous power, terrifying rate of fire, super long range, what is suspected to be related to magic and alchemy, and there is only one on each battleship...
Maybe... this extremely dangerous weapon is not used to attack the city wall?
………………………………
"giant dragon?!"
On the tower of the city wall, the castle of Fury count Ike I looked at the black hair wizard in dismay: "You mean...that kind of weapon is used to target the Dessalion family..."
"When I suddenly thought of this, I was also a little surprised. , But... there should be no more reasonable explanation than this." With a wry smile, Loren’s eyes revealed a solemn color:
"At least, I don’t think Eboden’s fragile city wall and line of defense. You will need this kind of range and long range. The formidable power is targeted by a strong alchemical weapon."
"And from the enemy’s launching method, this weapon is not only dangerous, but also very troublesome to set up. Only one can be placed on the deck of a battleship-it proves that it can only be used for defense and does not have any offensiveness at all."
"Then...the Azores who are no less powerful than the Empire , What exactly do we need to use this weapon to target?"
A trace of Aktor count's eyes flashed.
"In this case, we have the advantage in this battle." Although it is a statement, Eckert count is clearly comforting Loren: "The enemy's secret weapon can be discovered in advance, and it is also Defending the city wall, it can be called one move, two gains......"
"No, not like this."
The black hair wizard shook his head and calmly opened the mouth and said : "This kind of weapon will be exposed whenever it is taken out-and since they dare to use it, it means that the other party is not afraid to be exposed."
"It is us who really show up...in order to ensure that the morale of the army is not high. It collapsed, and took out the ice shield originally used to protect the Sky Vault."
"This is almost telling the other side: Let’s attack it, this is a team that can’t stand a blow. The casualties are likely to defeat the army across the board!"
The atmosphere at the top of the tower became a bit heavy.
The black hair wizard sitting on the wall is a little tired and sighed. I can’t blame the Corona Master for his “good advice”. I even have to thank him; otherwise, I’m on the city wall. The mercenaries don't have to wait until tomorrow, they have to be defeated across the board.
My own strength has been exposed, how can I deceive the opponent not to attack the strong in appearance but weak in reality port, but to go to the castle on the other side of the sneak attack?
Looking at the "burning battleship" sinking in the sea a little bit, Loren thought silently.
Under the observation deck, Lu Sien, holding a letterhead, hurried up. In addition to sweat, there was obvious dust on his face-apparently also affected by the explosion just now.
"Good news or bad news?"
"You have to look at it yourself." Lu Sien's mouth showed a sly smile: "Sent from Imperial Capital Yes-but this letter was originally sent from Scarlet Blood Castle to Golovin."
"From Charlotte Torino count."
black hair wizard His smile froze.
Ackert on the side was count lightly coughed, greeted the surrounding Byrne Knights very "wisely", and left the observation deck without saying a word.
"So...she already knows?" Loren's expression was a little nervous.
After all, I lied to her again...If Charlotte knew that she planned to stick to Eboden from the beginning, she would never let herself leave Scarlet Blood Castle.
"I didn’t know when I delivered the letter... According to the date above, the content is probably asking about the outcome of your meeting with Emperor Connold." The gray pupil shrugged his shoulders like Loren. "But now I must know."
"..."Loren Torino.
"Or, you can write a letter to Charlotte Count, comfort...Uh, I'd better apologize." Lu Sien suggested: "Otherwise, Charlotte Count is very likely It will disrupt your arrangement and make some very emotional actions."
The black hair wizard's expression is extremely tangled, and he hesitated for one minute.
"Forget it, even if I deliver the letter now, time is too late; besides, Charlotte has always been very sensible, and there is Dalton mentor and they are there, she will not be impulsive...
...right?"
