Chapter 946

"Gentlemen, get ready!"

In a tower of the circular fortress, bodrell, who was leaning on a magic wand, stood in the center of the magic array and couldn't help glancing at the still standing figure on the distant tower.

As a mentor of the nine pointed star wizard tower and an important follower of the corona family, mentor bodrell never thought that the wizard who called himself "Ayn Rand" would one day become a Duke of the Empire and become a member of his army.

Of course, he did not expect that the city of wealth and wisdom, eboden, would also become a battlefield for the Empire to fight with the elves.

Around the magic array, young wizards leaned against the wall and trembled one by one; They have been in the laboratory almost since their apprenticeship - not to mention such a huge battlefield, even when tens of thousands of people gather at the same time.

The roar of the explosion, the screams and screams of the soldiers, the cough in the smoke, the hurried footsteps, the quiet or angry roar and scolding... Even if they stay in the safe tower, these young wizards tremble one by one, and their hamster like eyes stare at the entrance of the tower

It seems that as long as one doesn't pay attention, there will be evil spirits and spirit warriors waving long knives rushing in.

With a sigh, bodrell looked back - if it hadn't been for the magic array that stirred the ice barrier, he didn't want to bring these children's wizards to the battlefield.

"All in position!"

Baudelaire, with a dignified expression, raised his wand.

At the foot of the nine awn star magic array, there was a gray blue light, full of unknown colors, and at the same time, there was a thick and terrible void residue.

The pale young wizards stood around the magic array and began to manipulate this gathered power by using their own spiritual palace to cooperate with the effect of the magic array.

Wizards who did not reach the point of opening the valve, although they could not command the force of nothingness like master elbird; But at least they can complete this high-level magic spell that they can't use with the help of the set magic array and their own spiritual palace.

At this time, the golden red "light column" in the distance had risen from the sea, leaving an elegant and smooth "light arc" in the sky, and then went towards the tower where Loren Turin was located.

You must complete the interception before being hit!

Holding up his wand, bodrell suddenly opened his right hand in the direction of the "pillar of light", with angry eyes:

"Open the barrier and stop it --!"

The young wizards clenched their teeth one after another, and the exposed veins on their foreheads and temples proved how much pain they were suffering at the moment.

Boom!!!!

The flame exploded in the air, and large cracks appeared on the "blue wall", which was more serious than before!

But this time, the "blue wall" did not disappear immediately, but remained in the air and repaired the cracked part at a speed visible to the naked eye; Until it completely recovered, it gradually disappeared.

The young wizards around the magic circle knelt down and sat on the ground.

Baudelaire was finally relieved, and his dignified expression still glanced at the figure on the tower from time to time.

This is only the first day.

This war... Eboden... Wizard tower... Myself

Can you really hold on for a month?

……………………………

On the sea, the fleet of Azores is still bombarding the walls of eboden; Under the blood red sunset, the golden red fire blooms dazzling sparks in the air again and again, reflecting the sky gradually shrouded by stars.

Compared with the beginning, both the duration and power of the interval can no longer be compared with the same day, and even the density began to decline.

After perceiving that it was impossible to tear open the defense of the ice barrier, the elf fleet did not use the initial salvo, but began to aim at a fixed point and focus all the "launchers" on bombardment, hoping to open a gap in the barrier.

However, after the wizard tower responded in time, it not only failed to succeed, but also strengthened its defense against the original weakness - although the ammunition thrown by the catapult itself is stone ammunition, it is the incidental effect of the catapult itself that makes it burn and can hit 500 steps.

After being counteracted by the disintegration of the ice barrier, the stone ball that has withstood the excessive force of void also turns into powder.

On the other hand, after several rounds of bombardment, the eboden garrison also began to get used to the enemy's "Firestone cannon", and no longer panicked as at the beginning.

The night is getting darker, the dim sunset is sinking into the sea level, and a faint mist appears on the sea level, enveloping the whole elf fleet; The damp and cold sea breeze blew on the wall of eboden and completely wiped out the last trace of burning flame.

"The enemy... Seems to have given up?"

On the brightly lit city wall, the "silver blood" standing on the edge of the parapet whispered to himself, vigilantly clinging to the wall pier: "from the beginning, there has been no sign of attack for a quarter of an hour."

"Yes, thank the Wizards in the nine pointed star tower. Otherwise, we might have burned or smashed all the monsters with long ears before we waited to see them."

The terrified "black blade" leaned against the wall stack and sat on the ground. Half of his face was burned. He snorted fiercely: "thank these wizard masters for not letting me die."

"Of course, if it weren't for the wizards and the Duke... I would have gone away with a large commission. I wouldn't have to stay here and wait to die!"

Looking at the "black blade" still swearing there, the silver blood couldn't help frowning.

"I said... Do you really think the promises given to you by the poisonous snake are true?"

Heiren was stunned, sneered and shrugged: "a fool will believe that bastard! But... He will not betray himself? As long as he can get enough Commission, it doesn't matter how greedy he is..."

"He didn't want to be greedy." silver blood sighed, "but from the beginning, we were the bait and tool he used to threaten and confuse eboden!"

"Bait?"

"After negotiating with the Duke of Loren Turin, I realized - if the wall of eboden is lost, where are we going to escape? Saxoland, lottel, Elman... The emperor and Duke's army of the Empire are coming towards eboden!"

"As for the no return path of taking refuge in the elves... That can only be said; they are very powerful, but even if they are willing to take us in after surrender, when the Army soldiers all over the Empire surround eboden, we must be the first to be sent out to die and test!"

Black blade was a little unbelievable: "is it difficult? The snake guy is only going to take his people to escape..."

"No, look at his men. This guy cheated even his own people - how can thousands of people retreat calmly in the heavily fortified city?" 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."

Black blade's face finally became a little ugly.

On the continuous city wall, the mercenaries who had been frightened for a whole day began to rest near the wall pier in twos and threes, talking with each other, and none of them noticed their leader's increasingly iron face.

"These are just your guesses... Besides, how can it be better to work for the Duke?" the fierce black blade said coldly: "he deliberately kept a poisonous snake to threaten us?!"

"Yes, that's it."

Silver blood breathed: "he will not let us go until the war is over - but on the contrary, he will not let us die easily until the war is over."

"That's the only difference."

They frowned and looked at each other with dignified eyes.

"Boom --!!"

A loud noise came without warning!

They only had time to feel a shaking, suddenly got up and looked in the direction of the explosion - only to see that a spirit warship suddenly lit a raging fire on the dark sea!

The flame of more than ten meters is spewing continuously, which is incomparably eye-catching under the night sky... And the surrounding elf warships are also "illuminated".

"This is..." Hei Ren looked in the distance in amazement:

"What's going on?!"

"It seems that the catapult on the enemy warship suddenly exploded." the suddenly stunned silver blood murmured in a low voice: "look at this posture, I'm afraid it's no surprise that the warship sank."

"Sure enough... Such a terrible weapon is not flawless..."

At this time, the wall behind him suddenly burst into thunderous cheers.

A few quarters of an hour ago, the mercenaries who were still in the flames and shivering behind the wall buttresses are now holding their necks in excitement and beating their weapons happily, gloating to the extreme.

As if he had defeated the elves.

The silver blood sighed and ignored the black blade who was dancing to jump up next to him. He stood by the wall pile silently and stared at the dazzling fire in the distance.

An inexplicable idea suddenly rushed into his mind.

Dangerous power, terrible fire speed and super long range are suspected to have something to do with magic and alchemy, and there is only one on each warship

Maybe... This extremely dangerous weapon is not used to attack the city wall?

………………………………

"Dragon?!"

On the high tower of the city wall, Ike, the Earl of the fort of wrath, looked at the black haired wizard in amazement: "you mean... That weapon is used against the desalion family..."

"I was a little surprised when I suddenly thought of this, but... There should be no more reasonable explanation than this." with a wry smile, Loren's eyes revealed a dignified color:

"At least, I don't think eboden's fragile wall and defense line will need this kind of long-range and powerful alchemical weapons."

"Moreover, judging from the enemy's launching method, this weapon is not only very dangerous, but also very troublesome to place. Only one can be placed on the deck of a warship - it proves that it can only be used for defense and has no offensive nature at all."

"So... What do the Azores, who are not inferior to the Empire, need to use this weapon against?"

There was a flash of clarity in count Eckert's eyes.

"In that case, we have an advantage in this war." although it is a statement, count Eckert is obviously comforting Loren: "it can find the enemy's secret weapons in advance and defend the city wall, which can kill two birds with one stone..."

"No, not so."

The black haired wizard shook his head and calmly said, "this weapon will be exposed whenever it is taken out - and since they dare to use it, it shows that the other party is not afraid of exposure."

"What really shows timidity is that we... In order to ensure that the morale of the army will not collapse, we took out the ice barrier originally used to protect the sky palace."

"This is almost telling the opposite side: just attack, this is an army that can't stand the attack at all, and it may collapse all over the line with a little casualties!"

The atmosphere at the top of the tower became a little heavy.

Sitting on the ledge, the black haired wizard crossed his legs and sighed a little tired - I can't blame master corona for his "good opinion", and I even have to thank him; Otherwise, the mercenaries on the wall of the city will be defeated without waiting until tomorrow.

The strength of his side has been exposed. Next, how can he deceive the other party not to attack the strong port, but to attack the ancient castle on the other side of the river?

Silently looking at the sinking "burning warship" at sea, Loren thought silently.

Under the lookout, Lucian hurried up with a letter, his face in addition to sweat and obvious dust - obviously also affected by the just explosion.

"Good news or bad news?"

"It's up to you to see for yourself." Lucian's mouth showed a sly smile: "it was sent from the imperial capital - but this letter was originally sent from red blood castle to Golovin."

"From the count of Charlotte Turin."

The dark haired wizard's smile froze.

Count Eckert coughed, greeted the Byrne Knights around him "wisely" and left the lookout without saying a word.

"So... She already knows?" Lauren's expression was a little nervous.

After all, I lied to her again... If Charlotte knew she was going to stick to eboden at the beginning, she would never let herself leave the red blood castle.

"I don't know when delivering the letter... According to the date above, the content is probably asking about the results of your meeting with emperor Connor." the grey pupil shrugged after learning from Loren, "but I must know now."

"..." Loren Turin.

"Why don't you write a letter to count Charlotte to comfort... Er, you'd better apologize." Lucian suggested, "otherwise, in a hurry, count Charlotte is likely to disturb your arrangement and make some very emotional moves."

The black haired wizard's expression was very tangled and hesitated for a full minute.

"Forget it, even if I deliver the letter now, it's too late; besides, Charlotte is always very rational, and there are mentor Dalton. She won't be impulsive

... right? "
