[There is one more update, tickets... I will post a message later to inquire about when you want me to update every day. This is an oversight on my part, sorry]
The black puppet is poisonous, but the toxicity is not strong. Whether it is the holy water of the Holy See or the repairing water created by the magician, it has obvious curative effects. wWw.QuanBeN-XiaoShuo.CoM
However, both treatments have a certain timeliness. Generally, repairing water can be stored for 10 to 15 days, and then it slowly loses its magic power. Holy water is effective for a little longer, but not more than a month.
The great magician in the castle has been gone for a year, and the repairing water left behind has long lost its effect.
"Lord Baron, drinking healing water is more effective, but..."
Baron Cook couldn't care about anything else at this time and asked: "Do you need a magic core?"
"Yes, I am only a first-level mage. If there is a magic core to help restore the magic string, I can make a large amount of repair water." Salin thought to himself, Aini made a fortune by making alchemical arrows, what should I say this time? You also need to get a few level five magic cores to be worthy of yourself.
"Okay, send ten magic cores to the mage." Baron Cook said loudly.
Salin was stunned, and then understood that Baron Cook had probably already been ready, waiting for him to make the request. Salin looked at Baron Cook's angular face and knew in his heart that he somewhat despised this little nobleman.
"Master Salin, in addition to the repairing water, I also urgently need healing potions. You can use the laboratory as you wish, and all losses will be borne by me."
Salin nodded and said, "Send some large water jars to the laboratory. Don't disturb me. Just let Sikka stay with me."
Soon everything was ready. Saleen closed the door of the magic laboratory, put ten level five magic cores into the gift ring, and began to create repairing water.
Healing water is a first-level magic, and an average magician can produce 500 grams at a time. Saleen's magic string has mutated and can now produce four times the weight at a time. At the same time, his magic strings are twice as many as those of other first-level magicians. He is equivalent to eight first-level magicians creating healing water at the same time.
If you quickly produce eight times the amount, you should be paid a little. Saleen was secretly proud. Although his magic string had flaws, it also had advantages that others did not have.
Salin only needed the third-level magic core to restore the magic string. He cast magic continuously and created a jar full of repairing water in one go. Then, holding the magic core in hand, he began to restore the magic strings.
He doesn't have many third-level magic cores anymore. In addition to the ones he bought himself, the magic cores given to him by Viscount Guge have long been used up. He still has a fifth-level magic core on hand, but it was given to him by Nailis.
It would be wasteful for a first-level magician to use a fifth-level magic core, so Salin has been reluctant to use it. Even though he owned a huge number of gems, he still lived on a budget. The shadow of childhood is not easy to eliminate. If a person has been hungry for more than ten years, he will either waste money desperately or be stingy.
Salin can continuously cast 24 first-level magics, but he only creates 20 copies of the repairing water before stopping, leaving a little magic string behind for self-defense.
This is the habit of all magicians, and Salin is not the only one to do this. Unless in their own magic tower, the magician rarely consumes all the magic strings.
Sika carried a jar full of healing water to the door, opened it, and let the soldiers waiting outside carry it away.
The soldier guarding the door was headed by a swordsman under Sijia. He was originally a little dissatisfied. Salin was only a first-level magician, and Baron Cook was too polite. Moreover, the magic laboratory was also messed up by Salin and Aini. If the great magician comes back, life will be difficult for people like him.
However, seeing the repairing water that Saleen produced at such a rapid speed, the swordsman felt that it was worth his money. He immediately ordered the soldiers to put the water jar in a metal box and carry it to the ward to treat the poisoned soldiers.
The castle has a room dedicated to treating soldiers. It is a large space. There are already more than a hundred soldiers lying in it, as well as a dozen strong slaves, all of whom have been knocked down by the poison of the black puppet.
The poison of the black puppet generally cannot kill people, but it will cause severe pain. No matter how experienced the soldier is, he cannot bear it. The room is full of painful moans. Many armies of the Fourth Dynasty collapsed because of this. The painful cries of your comrades around you will make you lose your fighting spirit.
Many soldiers are not afraid of death, but are afraid of endless torture.
On the walls of the castle, Sijia was directing the battle. She had repelled more than ten enemy attacks and was exhausted physically and mentally. The scarecrow surged up like a tide, and its movements were clumsy, but as long as it rushed to the foot of the castle, it could jump more than ten meters high and onto the city wall.
Crude alchemy arrows can effectively kill the black golem. Once hit by such arrows, the scarecrow will explode inside the body, and the black flames can burn the scarecrow to nothing but ashes in a blink of an eye.
There are enough arrows in the castle, but there are not a corresponding number of archers. Ordinary soldiers would lose strength after shooting more than a dozen arrows, so even though the scarecrow did not approach quickly, the soldiers could only fire five rounds. There are only two hundred soldiers on the front wall, and five rounds are nothing more than a thousand arrows.
After five rounds of shooting, the scarecrow can rush to the wall, jump up, and fight the soldiers hand-to-hand. Behind tens of thousands of scarecrows, there are more than a hundred headless horsemen, standing in the distance, facing the castle, waiting to attack.
Sijia is not worried about the black puppets. The number of these black puppets is less than 100,000, and relying on the castle, they can completely withstand them. She was worried about the more than one hundred headless horsemen. The combat effectiveness of the headless horseman is at least equivalent to that of a junior swordsman, and some headless horsemen can even rival senior swordsmen.
More than a hundred headless horsemen, even the Bronze Sword Master, had to flee.
The only support now may be the four alchemy crossbows in the castle. At the highest point of the castle, there is a huge platform around the tower, on which are placed four alchemical crossbows. The huge alchemical crossbows have a range of more than two miles, and the crossbow arrows are thick and longer than the sword swordsman's sword. Even high-level monsters will be penetrated by such crossbow arrows.
Thousands more scarecrows rushed to the city wall and jumped up straight. A soldier hit it hard with his shield, knocking out the scarecrow who was the first to rush onto the city wall. His martial arts skills were good, and the broken sword in his hand cut off the head of another scarecrow at the same time.
The two companions who were working with him used sword blade guns to pick up the scarecrows on both sides and pull him back to the team. This soldier looked ferocious, and all his fear turned into fighting power. He threw the broken sword and hit a scarecrow, then took the bladed gun handed to him by his companion and rushed forward again.
The beheaded scarecrow spurted dirty black blood from its neck. The blood smelled like eggs that had been left for dozens of days, with a hint of sulfur. The sturdy slaves behind the soldiers were also assigned weapons and armor. They used bamboo spears more than four meters long to lift the headless scarecrow off the city wall, for fear that the black puppet would resurrect.
Several soldiers were killed by such headless black puppets. The resurrection of the black puppets was completely irregular. After the battle, both the soldiers and the slaves were already a little numb. What started as fear turned into hatred of these scarecrows.
The regular army of the Qin Yin Empire was very powerful, but there were too many enemies. Sijia looked worriedly at the Headless Horseman in the distance, but never gave the order to kill him with the alchemical crossbow.
The distance between these headless horsemen is less than two miles, just within the range of the alchemical crossbow. However, there were only twenty-four specially-made crossbow arrows. After Sijia was afraid of using them up, the black magician sent out the Abominable Dragon Beast.
Sijia had never seen the Abominable Dragon Beast, but she also knew that it was a powerful siege weapon. Without the alchemy crossbow, the Abominable Dragon Beast will break through the city gate, and then the Headless Horseman can come in. These hundreds of soldiers are no match for the Headless Horseman.
The sun gradually sank to the west. The battle lasted all day. Although the soldiers took turns to fight, they were exhausted. Half of the scarecrows have been wiped out, but there are still 40,000 to 50,000 people standing outside the city wall.
The black puppet is tireless, but humans need to rest. Nearly a hundred soldiers had been lost, and loopholes began to appear in the defense. Sijia reluctantly adjusted her tactics and divided the soldiers into two rounds of fighting. This leaves soldiers less time to rest.
It would be great if there were necromancers. By summoning skeleton soldiers, they could resist the huge number of black puppets. Sijia and her two men stood at the most open part of the city wall, looking outside the city, feeling indescribably irritated. It would be great if the great magician was here. The low-level fireball technique is just a weapon to restrain the scarecrow. That damn great magician actually ran to Sun City. If you can survive this time, you must report to His Majesty the Emperor.
Back then, Emperor Qin Yin sent two necromancers to participate in the extermination of black magicians in the Phoenix area, and the effect was remarkable. Unfortunately, undead magic is extremely difficult to practice and is discriminated against by ordinary people. Few people are willing to choose to practice this kind of magic.
This wave of attacks was finally stopped. The sky was getting darker and darker, but the Abominable Dragon Beast still did not appear. Sijia said solemnly: "Baisha, let the First Cavalry Team prepare. Defense at night will be more difficult."
Baisha was the first swordsman under Sijia. He took the order. Not long after, ten cavalrymen in full armor came up the city wall along the horse path. The armor of these ten heavy cavalrymen weighed more than fifty kilograms, and their tall war horses were also fully armored. Even if they charged in the rain of arrows, they would hardly be injured.
The city wall is more than five meters wide, and heavy cavalry armed with axes and halberds are lined up on both sides of the city wall. Weapons such as axes and halberds have very wide blades and are much heavier than sword-edged guns. Even if there is only one heavy cavalry, dozens of black puppets can be knocked off the city wall under the impact. Originally, these few heavy cavalry were used to deal with the headless horsemen, but now Sijia had no other choice. Dark night was coming, and these infantry alone could not hold the city wall at all.
Once the city wall is broken, those scarecrows can kill everyone in the castle without the Headless Horseman dispatching.
"Lord Baron, why are you up here again!" Scarlett said anxiously when she saw Baron Cook walking up the city wall in full armor and carrying a heavy sword.
"You go and rest for a while, Stella."
"baron!"
"Leave me with the soldiers." Baron Cook said calmly.
This sentence was a famous saying of Emperor Qin Yin who founded the country at that time. Sijia hesitated for a moment and saw a look of excitement on the faces of the soldiers at the top of the city. She knew that she could not continue to stop Baron Cook, otherwise the morale that she had finally built up would dissipate. Lost.
