the second day.
From dawn the siege began again.
Sparsely thousands of people gathered in front of Lokol Castle. The soldiers in the front row held square shields and put simple but thick wooden planks on their heads, and slowly approached the gate of the castle step by step. And behind them, there are some militiamen wearing light leather armor, holding spears, bows and arrows.
As for the personal guards belonging to Lord Trass, they still stayed in front of the camp and did not dispatch. They are all heavy infantry wearing heavy armor, holding heavy oak shields, and equipped with heavy weapons such as flails, big swords, and maces.
From a distance, it looks like a group of terrifying killing machines wrapped in thick steel!
There are not many of them, only about 300 people.
But these more than 300 heavy armored fighters are the elite troops that the lord of Trass has exhausted all the resources in the territory and spent ten years working hard to build. In the small wars waged with the surrounding lords, Truss used this invincible steel chariot to forcibly flatten three or four baronies and gained a great reputation.
However, considering that there are many wizard apprentices on Locker Castle today, in order to avoid the damage of the elite troops, Viscount Truss can only send those assisted armed militias and mercenaries first, in order to use them to consume the opponent first. Apprentice's sorcery.
Soon, the battle started when the enemy entered within 50 meters in front of the city wall!
Arrows as dense as locusts poured down from the city wall overwhelmingly, among which were mixed with many rockets. Although there is a movable ceiling to shield the rain of arrows, there are still people falling down from arrows in the gaps between the thick planks. Clusters of flames jumped on the planks, crackling the dry wood.
Finally, the advancing siege troops encountered sniper attacks from the defender's wizard apprentices.
Three witchcraft fireballs dragging billowing black smoke and two light green acid balls flew down from the city wall in long arcs, landing at the vanguard of the siege troops.
The sudden burst of witchcraft fireball immediately covered an area of 10 meters, and all the attacking fighters in the area instantly turned into firemen, dropped their weapons, and ran around the team in a daze.
In the area where the acid ball fell, a circle of green acid mist exploded visible to the naked eye, and all the soldiers contaminated by the acid mist screamed like wolves and ghosts. The exposed flesh and blood of a human warrior drenched in acid quickly melted away amidst the sizzling noise, and turned into a pile of scorched bones in an instant.
And more soldiers only had leather armor and a little acid splashed on their clothes. However, such an attack, as long as the acid-contaminated part is cut off in time, the damage to the human body is far less deadly than the witchcraft fireball.
Facing the terrifying witchcraft attack, the soldiers in the advancing queue became hesitant, and their advancing speed became even slower.
The army commander who was supervising the formation at the rear roared loudly.
Under his urging, the soldiers with only crude armor yelled in unison, speeding up their advance again.
When the siege troops advanced another twenty steps, the second wave of witchcraft attacks came again.
However, almost at the same time as the second wave of attacks, five huge fireballs suddenly rose from the advancing team and flew towards a certain place on the city wall.
Just now there was witchcraft just inspired!
somewhere on the wall.
A senior apprentice of the Sarubo family just dropped a witchcraft fireball, and saw five menacing witchcraft fireballs flying towards him quickly with long tails.
"Come and protect me!"
While quickly dodging backwards, the senior apprentice desperately applied defensive witchcraft to himself. Around him, five or six castle guards held up large shields and quickly blocked the apprentice from behind.
boom boom boom...
The five witchcraft fireballs that exploded almost indiscriminately showed the rage of the elemental flames, and the terrible damage caused by the superposition of energy was beyond the defense of mere metal shields.
The violent and ferocious ring of flame exploded on the city wall, instantly reducing everything within ten meters to powder, and then burning it into ashes while throwing it wildly outward.
The seven castle guards standing in front of the senior apprentice died instantly, and even their bodies were blown to pieces. In the area covered by the witchcraft fireball, only the senior apprentice escaped with a scorched face.
The senior apprentice who managed to escape with his life quickly hid in the crowd, while taking out hemostatic ointment and healing potion from his bosom, and quickly healed himself.
You bastard, these apprentices from the Mikain family are playing dirty tricks!
The apprentices of the Sarubo family on the city wall immediately became furious, and one after another witchcraft fireballs were thrown towards the opponent's hiding area like money. And the opponent didn't show any weakness, and propped up colorful defensive witchcraft, and quickly fought back while dodging.
All of a sudden, witchcraft fireballs exploded everywhere on the city wall!
Greem stood silently in a luxurious bedroom on the third floor of the castle. He raised a corner of the curtain and looked at the battlefield in front of him. He couldn't help frowning slightly.
Some unexpected!
Not unexpectedly strong, but unexpectedly weak!
Having just experienced the bloody storm of the Plane War, now returning to the wizarding world for the first time, after experiencing the family war here, I only feel that neither the intensity of the war nor the power of witchcraft can compare to the bloody and cruelty of the Plane War.
However, more gaps seem to be reflected in the determination of the will to fight!
On the plane battlefield, either you die or I die. Once the battle is lost, besides his own death, even the world he lives in day and night will become a secondary plane that others will wantonly trample on. Therefore, the natives of the plane are extremely brave in battle, and they can be said to be immortal.
But the battlefield in front of him was soft and loose, like playing a house.
The soldiers on both sides who participated in the battle probably knew that they and others were by no means the protagonists of the battlefield, so each of them was more cautious than aggressive. There were more than 1,500 people on and off the city wall, but the fighting was the most intense, and it was the ten wizard apprentices who caused the most casualties.
Since the start of the war, most of the hundreds of people killed in battle were caused by accidental injuries when wizard apprentices attacked each other! The soldiers who actually fell under the bows and crossbows were less than 30% of the total number of deaths.
"A boring game!" Greem put down the curtain casually, and murmured dissatisfied.
Sitting back at the wooden table again, Greem continued to play with the core of the Tier 2 Molten Giant, while the chip in his mind was processing a large amount of data in the database at high speed.
The rune knowledge he obtained from the drawing room of the Casting Demon Camp in the Knight Kingdom is undoubtedly comprehensive and detailed. With it, Greem was able to get a preliminary glimpse into some deep mysteries of energy fusion.
It's just that those runes are all knowledge from other planes, and to transplant them to the wizarding world requires constant exploration and exploration. So when he returned to the wizarding world, Greem was crazily calculating and estimating almost day and night.
Excluding 122 common basic runes and 23 variant runes from the 173 special runes obtained from the knight plane, the remaining 28 runes are brand new runes that have never appeared in the wizarding world. Therefore, if Greem wants to use these rune knowledge in the wizarding world, he can only explore a little bit to find out the possible variant forms and effects of these 28 new runes in the wizarding world.
So these days, his mind is full of weird runes flying all over the sky. With the high-speed and efficient operation of the chip, every time a new rune is analyzed, Greem needs to constantly go to various levels and angles to use and verify it, so as to determine whether this newly calculated rune can replace those from other worlds. runes.
And this is undoubtedly extremely time-consuming and energy-consuming!
After returning to the wizarding world from another world, Greem had already met the goblin Kirby once.
Greem handed over most of the useless resources he seized to Kirby for operation, and he also got back from Kirby the elemental crystal cores he had collected during this period. Of the 98 elemental nuclei, only 56 are suitable for transformation into golems, of which 34 are quasi-witch-level and 21 are high-level. What pleased Greem the most was that there was actually a poison-type wizard-level core in it.
Greem's Golem Legion was exhausted in the alien battlefield and urgently needed to be replenished. At present, besides the Flame Lord, he has no other puppet available, which will undoubtedly reduce his combat power by more than 30%.
However, the crisis in the Sarubo family forced him to run around, and he had no chance to calm down and replenish his puppet army. This undoubtedly made him feel more irritable.
Before leaving this time, Greem used his authority to exchange for a wizard-level meditation technique at the Wizard Tower in Feidnan City. And this alone cost him 20,000 magic crystals and 7 family contributions. But this time he worked hard on the alien plane, but he only got 100,000 magic crystals and 20 family contributions.
However, judging from the effect after meditation, it is worth paying such a price.
The mental strength that had remained untouched before had finally undergone some changes. This is undoubtedly a great encouragement for him. As long as he persisted day after day, there would be a slight possibility to raise his mental power to 20 points!
Reaching 20 points of spiritual power is also one of the basic conditions for advancing to the second-level wizard.
According to the chip's estimate, without any external assistance, Greem would need 171 years to increase his spiritual power from the current 6 or 3 to 20 by relying on daily meditation alone. And this is the effect achieved after the chip has optimized the meditation technique to the greatest extent.
And those ordinary wizards who have no resources and no knowledge have to be busy with their daily witchcraft, and they have to run around collecting resources and knowledge. If they want to reach the limit of 20 points of spiritual power through meditation, it may take at least 300 years.
Like the wizard Anderson that Greem knows well, he has been promoted for two or three hundred years, but his spiritual power is only 9 points, which is too far away from the limit of 20 points. This may be the biggest reason why he took the risk and wanted to use the blood sacrifice ceremony to make a dash!
If he didn't do this, with the strength of wizard Anderson, he would definitely be the fastest to die if he participated in the plane war!
Just when Greem couldn't stop stretching out his hand to swipe, repeatedly outlining a strange green rune in the void, there were soft footsteps outside the bedroom door, followed by the maid's voice.
"Master Greem, Mr. Korgan Wizard, please go!"
"Is the war about to start?"
"Yes! Master Korgan has you ready!"
"Understood!"
Greem waved away the unstable newly created rune, and looked down at his equipment. After confirming that everything was complete, he opened the door and strode out.
