Kartia Hills, Lokol Castle.

How strong and luxurious a castle might a small viscounty have

Therefore, from the beginning of its construction, this Lokol Castle was not simply a defensive war fortress, but more inclined to a semi-manorial noble castle.

The garden-style castle square, the huge main body of the castle covering an area of 30 acres, and the thin outer wall of the castle with a height of only 3 meters. For the sake of tidiness and beauty, the entire castle did not build any bunkers and towers, but replaced them with exquisite artistic statues and busts of beautiful women.

The only outer wall of the castle that can stop the enemy from advancing can only allow two people to pass by, and there is no room for any slightly larger war facilities.

Such a defense system of the castle can be used to deal with some wandering horse thieves and bandits, but it is not enough to deal with the elite troops sent by another lord.

To be honest, if the number of elite apprentices sent by the Sarubo family was not enough, I am afraid that this Lokol castle fell 7 days ago.

However, ever since Viscount Donner's scouts discovered the wizard in the enemy camp, the entire castle has become panicked and unsustainable. Even the elite apprentices of the Sarubo family didn't dare to step out of the castle, but just threw a few witchcraft fireballs on the city wall at the enemy siege team every day to deal with the problem.

The power of wizards is well known!

Not to mention ordinary soldiers and civilians, even the elite apprentices who are usually arrogant and arrogant, became uneasy when they heard the news. The 2 quasi-shamans and 6 senior apprentices gathered together all day to discuss not how to defend against the enemy's attack, but how they should escape in time once the enemy's wizards can't stand their temper. here.

As for confronting the wizard head-on? Sorry, the idea never crossed their minds!

But I am very happy, finally before the fall of Rockall Castle, the wizard in the family arrived.

The four-wheeled carriage that Korgan and Greem rode swaggered into Castle Locker at dusk. The enemy cavalry patrols in charge of the siege also tried to step forward to stop them, but a lava fireball made their efforts come to naught.

Eleven lives were lost, and the rest of the cavalry frantically fled back to the distant camp, and the enemy camp never sent anyone to intercept the slow carriage.

The reason why they blocked here was to force the wizards of the Sarubo family to show up? Now that the wizards of the Sarubo family have appeared, the level of the entire war is no longer a secular territorial dispute, but a friction and "comparison" between two wizard families.

Maybe it's a good time to take this opportunity to weigh the wizarding power of the Sarubo family!

...

The welcome banquet for the wizard was arranged in the spacious reception hall on the first floor of the castle.

When the black and undecorated four-wheeled carriage slowly stopped in front of the castle gate, Viscount Donner, six elite apprentices, and many relatives were waiting on both sides of the road, watching their life-saving straw with enthusiastic eyes. .

Although the family had informed them in advance that a wizard would come, it was unknown who it was.

Therefore, when several elite apprentices saw Wizard Korgan's familiar face, they immediately breathed a sigh of relief, with relaxed smiles on their faces. However, the tall and strange figure who followed Wizard Korgan off the carriage made them murmur silently again.

Under the wide black cloak is a young and handsome face, black pupils are not common, a head of long brown hair lightly sprinkled on the shoulders, wearing a free and easy tight leather jacket, making him tall and strong 2 meters tall The outline of the body is more toned.

The wise and gentle temperament mixed with the cold and evil wizard aura blended together to form a completely different and strange smell of Greem.

This wizard is so young!

For a moment, the faces of countless young female relatives and mature ladies were filled with unconcealable surprise and astonishment. But immediately they were attracted by the strange smell of each other, and each of them became blushing and heartbeating, showing a rare girlish shyness.

Although Viscount Donner is the lord of this place, he still dare not be slighted in the face of Wizard Korgan who came on behalf of the family. He rushed forward and waved away the attendants. He raised his arm himself and supported Wizard Korgan to slowly step down from the carriage.

"Lord Korgan, you've come!" Viscount Donner had a flattering smile on his face, "If you're one step late, the little one will have to die for the sake of the family!"

Wizard Korgan sneered angrily.

He knew the nature of this Viscount Donna very well. Once the castle is lost, he will definitely flee with his beautiful wife and beautiful family as soon as possible. However, this Viscount Donner also has a lot of connections with his family, so the necessary face still needs to be given to him.

Immediately, Viscount Donner noticed Greem behind Korgan, and this strange wizard made him hesitate for a while.

"Master Korgan, who is this lord wizard?"

"This is the new family wizard Greem, this time he and I will handle the affairs here!" Wizard Korgan briefly introduced.

When he heard that he was a new wizard, the Viscount Donna couldn't help muttering again.

"Lord Korgan, can't the lords Keel, Ferrier, and Loris come?"

It was obvious that Greem, a new wizard, was not fully sure of the words. If Wizard Korgan hadn't backed him up, such disrespect might have earned him a reprimand from the wizard.

"Hmph, you are not allowed to interfere with the internal affairs of the family." Wizard Korgan interrupted his lie angrily: "Okay, don't mention unnecessary things. Let these people disperse quickly! I And Wizard Greem also want to hear the latest battlefield information!"

After speaking, Korgan greeted the two prospective family witches standing in the front row. As for the four senior apprentices behind, Korgan ignored them without even taking a glance.

The impromptu meeting was changed to a secret room on the second floor of the castle.

Although the castle was crowded with thousands of people at the moment, only ten people had the opportunity to enter this secret room.

Wizard Korgan, Wizard Greem, two quasi-sorcerers, four senior apprentices, Viscount Donner and his most important noble knight. This noble knight is also the commander of the viscount's army, otherwise he is not eligible to enter the secret room.

"Last time, you reported that wizards were found in the enemy's camp. Do you have any more detailed information?" Korgan asked impatiently as soon as he sat down.

Although he was very confident in the strength of himself and Greem, if there were too many wizards on the other side, it would be easy to make big mistakes in dealing with them.

"Three." A quasi-shaman with a black blindfold on his right eye replied softly: "Lan Ya and I once captured a little nobleman in an enemy camp, and we learned from him that the other party invited three wizards. .It seems that one of them is the Carlos wizard of the Mikain family. As for the other two, it is not clear... "

"Carlos..." Wizard Korgan frowned slightly, tilting his head and briefly introduced the information of Wizard Carlos to Greem.

Three wizards? This is a bit difficult to handle!

...

However, just as everyone in Rockall Castle was gathering together for a secret meeting, a small meeting was also held in the distant camp.

This is a tall and spacious cowhide tent, the decoration inside is gorgeous and exquisite, and even the floor is covered with soft and comfortable carpets. Although it is in the wild, there is an exquisite copper stove near the tent, and there is a refreshing fragrance wafting from it.

Three mysterious wizards of different shapes sat on the front seat of the big tent, and behind each wizard stood two or three quasi-shaman apprentices with excited expressions. As for the lower part of the big tent, only the lord of Tras and several leading generals were eligible to sit down, while the rest of the nobles and knights could only stand still and listen quietly to the assignments of the wizards.

And a young quasi-sorcerer with a strange white dove squatting on his shoulders was standing in the center of the big tent, chanting loudly the latest information just delivered in his hand.

"Grimm, male, probably less than 20 years old..."

Surprised admiration erupted in the venue, but this did not prevent the young quasi-witch from continuing to chant.

"Advancement time: should be 3 months ago, advancement location: it seems to be a third-level resource point of the Sarubo family - the magic swamp.

It is said that there were two young wizards promoted together with this Greem, one was Wizard Mary with a vampire physique, and the other was Wizard Entik with a special half-worm physique.

However, they have never appeared since they entered the wizard tower in Feidnan City, the headquarters of the Sarubo family. This time, it seems that only Wizard Greem came along with Wizard Korgan..."

After barely patiently listening to the information brought back by the spy from the Sarubo family, the purple-robed wizard sitting in the forehand position couldn't help but sneer and said, "A little guy who has just been promoted for 3 months may not even have the spirit The strength has not stabilized yet! Korgan even brought out such a guy, it seems that their family is really empty of strength!"

An old wizard sitting on the left hand side of the purple-robed wizard held a long staff in his hand, and asked softly, "Is there any witchcraft that this Greem wizard is good at in the information? What is his natural ability?"

The young quasi-sorcerer lowered his head and quickly read the information in his hand, shaking his head and said: "Dear Wizard Kelan, the information does not mention the specific witchcraft talent of this Greem wizard. After all, he happened to be in a remote place. Those who have advanced, our intelligence collection for him is still very imperfect!"

"Didn't you go to the resource point where he stayed to collect some information?" The old-faced Wizard Kelan paused with dissatisfaction with the staff in his hand.

"Sorry, Wizard Kelan. We also sent someone to investigate secretly." The young quasi-sorcerer froze, and quickly explained: "However... it seems that some accidents occurred when the three young wizards advanced, which actually caused Sarubo The family's wizard Anderson and all the resource point apprentices died inexplicably. Therefore... that's why we have such omissions in our information collection!"

"That coward Anderson is dead?" The three wizards looked at each other with contemptuous smiles on their faces.

The seasoned and prudent wizard Kelan wanted to ask something, but was stopped by the dominant wizard Carlos.

"What are you worried about now?" Wizard Carlos sneered and said, "Except for that Korgan who is a bit difficult to deal with, our opponent is just a new kid. At that time, send someone to restrain him , and the other two attacked Korgan together, do they still have a chance to come back?"

Everyone nodded in agreement.

Although the wizard Kelan had some hidden worries in his heart, after thinking about the assignment of Wizard Carlos, it was reasonable and reasonable, so he kept silent.

And the third wizard, whose whole body was shrouded in black mist, remained silent the whole time, as if he didn't have the slightest interest in this discussion.

But for some reason, even Carlos, who was in the main position, looked at the black mist with a hint of awe and shrinking in his eyes.

"It's so decided! At noon tomorrow, we will have a decisive battle with the enemy. We must give this group of wizards of the Sarubo family a good look!" Wizard Carlos shouted excitedly.

Everyone bowed their heads and obeyed!
