The sobbing horn gradually became louder, and a silver light lit up the battlefield.
As the accompanying mage chanted, the inscriptions on the Bold-Violet Extraordinary Regular Armor lit up one after another.
"Hold the shield!"
The commanding noble shouted loudly.
The regular soldiers in full armor raised their shields one after another. Inscriptions on the shields lit up, and eventually a honeycomb-shaped magic shield was outlined above the army formation.
Castel's arrows fell like raindrops, and the oars, sails and cannons in the river roared.
However, except for the enchanted arrows used by the extraordinary people or the expensive magic-breaking stone bullets, conventional attacks can hardly cause damage to the activated magic army formation.
The two sides soon engaged in battle on the bridge, and as soon as the battle started, it became a one-sided situation.
The noble who led Castel's soldiers to defend the bridge was almost instantly engulfed by the brilliance of the magical army formation. The silver army formation was like a sharp steel knife, easily tearing apart Castel's line and penetrating the bridge.
Charlotte, who was watching the battle from high up in the tower in North Port, had a clearer view.
After the enemy's magic array was deployed, the North Port Bridge, which had been a tug of war between the two sides for a long time, was captured by the enemy at a speed of almost one meter per second, and the soldiers on Castel's side were either swallowed up by the attacking extraordinary army formation or pushed off the bridge.
"My Lord Earl, Baron Somir has sent a message that the North Port Bridge can no longer be defended!"
"My Lord Earl, Viscount Roman Fore has sent a message saying that the fleet's magic-destroying ammunition is exhausted. My Lord Viscount suggests destroying the North Port Bridge to prevent the enemy from crossing the river!"
"My Lord Count..."
All kinds of bad news came one after another, and the situation deteriorated rapidly.
Charlotte also noticed that the magic shield covering the entire North Port was becoming increasingly shaky under the fire of the Allied Fleet, and it seemed that it could be destroyed at any time.
"My Lord Count..."
Viscount Ryan Castel looked solemnly in the direction of the North Port Bridge and could not help but say:
"Let's destroy the bridge. We must not let the Chaofan Changbei cross the river. Once they successfully cross the river, the enemy's stone cannons will also be transferred to the north bank, and Beigang will fall into an even more dangerous situation..."
"My Lord Earl, please give the order to destroy the bridge! Once they successfully control it and activate the defensive magic, it will be difficult for us to do it!"
"Yes, the Beigang Bridge can be rebuilt later, but Beigang must not fall!"
Other nobles also tried to persuade him.
Charlotte slowly retracted her gaze and shook her head gently:
"No, the Beigang Bridge is the key to our counterattack and cannot be destroyed."
"My Lord Earl!"
The nobles became anxious:
"If we can't even defend, how can we talk about counterattack?"
"Yes, Bold has too many extraordinary weapons, and we can't fight against them at all..."
Viscount Ryan Castel also sighed:
"My Lord Earl, although the magic defense system of North Harbor is powerful, it can only withstand a limited amount of damage. In order to protect the city, our shield is almost reaching its limit. If we continue to allow the enemy to advance, the consequences will be unimaginable..."
As he spoke, he looked at Charlotte deeply and said respectfully:
"I believe you have considered it and hope to counterattack, but what we need to consider now is how to defend it."
"The strength of the spell shield is related to the power of the maintainer. Although President Laiton is a senior Silver Moon Mage, it is still too difficult for him to maintain such a large-scale magic defense."
"We Castel are no longer the Castel of the Blazing Sun. Perhaps your father could easily support the shield to protect civilians during the Star-Moon War, but now... times are different."
"My Lord Earl, our Castel's magical power is no longer as strong as it used to be. In order to win, sometimes we have to make some sacrifices..."
After hearing what the old viscount said, Charlotte's heart was moved:
"Sir Len Castel, what do you mean..."
Viscount Len-Castell gritted his teeth and said:
"Destroy the North Port Bridge and remove the protection of the urban area. Only maintain the magical protection of the Earl's Mansion and the fortress, and delay the holding time as much as possible!"
Charlotte frowned slightly.
She was about to answer when she suddenly heard a sound like glass cracking in the sky.
Charlotte looked up and saw that the magic shield covering the North Port suddenly became more and more unstable, and some weak spots even began to become illusory.
The bombardment of the Principality's fleet continued.
Under Charlotte's slightly focused gaze, some stone bullets even successfully penetrated the protection of the shield and fell into Beigang City.
A huge roar was heard, thick smoke rose in the city, and people's screams of fear could be heard from time to time.
Suddenly, another guard came hurriedly, followed by two bodyguards, supporting a magic apprentice with a pale face.
"My Lord Earl! There is an emergency report from the Mage Tower!"
The guard said quickly.
Charlotte looked at the apprentice:
"What happened?"
"My Lord, Lord Laiton can't hold on any longer. The magic shield... is... reaching its limit..."
After hearing the apprentice's words, the surrounding nobles all changed color.
"My Lord Earl! We can't delay any longer!"
Viscount Len-Castell shouted.
Charlotte remained silent.
"My Lord Earl!"
The old viscount repeated anxiously.
Charlotte then raised her head and glanced at the illusory magic shield in the sky. She suddenly said:
"Sir Ryan Castel, you just said... my father once maintained a defensive magic covering the entire North Port for a long time during the Star-Moon War?"
The old viscount was stunned for a moment, and answered subconsciously:
"Yes."
Charlotte thought.
After a few breaths, she suddenly raised her head and said directly to the guard:
"Come on, take me to the Mage Tower."
The guards and nobles were all stunned, and looking at the girl's serious and beautiful profile, the old viscount thought of something and his expression suddenly changed:
"My Lord Earl, you... you don't want to control the magic defense system yourself, do you?"
"Yes, your father did maintain the defense system covering the entire North Port for a long time, but your father is Chiyang! It's different!"
"You have indeed grown rapidly and have extraordinary talents, but you are still Silver Moon now!"
"The spiritual strength and magic power of the Blazing Sun warriors are far beyond those of ordinary transcendents. That gap cannot be made up by numbers. You can't do it, and your life may be in danger!"
"you… "
Charlotte suddenly raised her hand to stop him from speaking.
She raised her green index finger to her lips, showing a soft and beautiful smile, and whispered:
"How will you know if you don't try?"
As she spoke, she raised her head and devoutly made a cross on her chest:
"It's not just the Third Prince who's fighting us, it's also the Blood Demon Cult that he's secretly supporting..."
"I believe that as long as we have a pious heart, the gods... will protect us and defeat evil."
