Speaking of which, the scene was indeed quite chaotic in the first ten minutes or so when high-level zombies carrying soul flames raided the fortress hall.
The heirs of the three major families who were discussing in the hall at that time lacked a tacit understanding with each other. When the strange black flames suddenly swept through the hall, whether it was the tough-looking Yegor or the wise and calm Yu Lin, The witch Carolina and the priest wizard who had been passive and lazy from the beginning all looked a little embarrassed when they were caught off guard.
Because when their vision was suddenly obscured by black flames, the three of them had some scruples, and no one took action to fight back immediately. Later, when the three of them exited the fortress under the protection of their respective men and hastily defended themselves, a large number of support from the living corpses had already engaged the frontline defenders. The sudden high-intensity impact made the already stable The defense line was on the verge of collapse.
But in the end, even though a group of high-level zombie men sent by Haierbo arrived at short notice and launched a "decapitation-style" sneak attack from the rear, the eastern defense line was still saved in the end.
This is not the credit of the armored wizard army of the Matusievich family who fought hard at the front with all the strong men in the army, nor is it the work of several Viseu family rainforests who performed magical skills many times during the chaos. The witch’s contribution—the actual contribution of these two families in the face of this sudden enemy attack was limited.
But in this positional defense battle that started in chaos, it was the seemingly lazy "priest" and the group of family wizards under him that really made our side gain a firm foothold.
The name of the "Father" is Samuel Julius Rossi, and the total of 333 wizards he brought this time is a "Chorus" that he personally formed .
"... God said, the mind is a barrier, blocking the erosion of evil; God said, the magic power solidifies into a shield, resisting the attacks of swords and axes; God said, the strings of fate are trembling, allowing dangerous poisons to escape; God said "
Three hundred and thirty-three wizards formed a square formation behind the defense line. They raised their wands high and cast the same magic at the same time with uniform gestures, uniform eulogies, and uniform tones, without any deviation.
At the same time, in the square formation they were in, there was a silvery white light surging like sea water, making them look extremely sacred.
However, in their hymns, which are mainly written in ancient runes, the so-called "gods" naturally do not refer to the gods in the minds of Muggles, but to the Patronus Charm; each hymn they recite is " A mantra that contains a magic spell.
If you listen carefully, most wizards who have studied ancient magic texts can roughly guess that they are Occlumency, All Protection Spell, Safe Guard Spell and Enemy Trap Spell, and they are chanted in a continuous cycle. Reinforced in the middle.
This is a research result of a certain generation of ancestors of the Rossi family - based on the pure energy of the non-transformable Patronus Charm, through a certain method, it can strengthen the subsequent protective spells to a certain extent.
In this way, coupled with the inheritance of the training methods of the Rossi family's proud wizard legion, as well as the excellent effect of simultaneous spell casting mentioned by Maka, the Vatican Rossi family has long been... .. Especially in the era of several large-scale wars in history, it has always been ranked first among the four major families in Europe. Even the French Blois family, which has an older heritage, can only lag behind.
From the moment the choir led by Samuel assembled at the rear of the battlefield, a silver-white translucent barrier was erected in front of the defense line. The black flames controlled by the group of high-level zombies, The effect on the Armored Wizard Army has also been greatly weakened.
Although the battle is still difficult, the overall situation on the eastern defense line has stabilized visibly.
This is why when they discovered that a powerful enemy was suddenly attacking, both Yegor's think tank and Carolina's men subconsciously glanced in Samuel's direction. Because both families know very well that when it comes to defense in large-scale battles, they have to rely on the Rossi family.
It's a pity that the ancestor of the Rossi family figured out how to increase the Patronus Charm's ability to increase ordinary protective magic, but failed to find a way to enhance the offensive magic spell by the same amount. After that, so many generations of descendants devoted their efforts to research and try. The supplement has never achieved results comparable to the former, which has always been a great regret for the Rossi family.
Correspondingly, in terms of offense, the Matuseyevich family and the Viseu family will not "give in" to each other!
"Huh... we can start to fight back."
After leading several elite squads to charge back and forth countless times at the front line, Yegor, who was almost exhausted, finally saw his adjutant raising the rapier in his hand, signaling to him that the large army was ready.
This time, Yegor did not make secretive calculations about Carolina, who had been fighting on the front line like him during this period and trying to maintain the defensive situation, but directly signaled to her.
"clear!"
Carolina, who was fighting with her Rainforest Witch not far away, nodded immediately and flew away on a broom at low altitude without hesitation, leaving the core battlefield completely to Yegor.
The next second, rumbling sounds suddenly sounded from behind the battle line. A moving formation was not much worse than the Rossi family's choir, and the number of people was far greater than the former. The radiance of magic "moved sideways" like a big mountain at a seemingly slow but fast pace, breaking out of the barrier and "colliding" hard into the wave of living corpses.
As for the advanced individuals who were tearing apart the protective barriers one after another and had to be cleaned up by Yegor to maintain the unbreakable defense line, they could not even last half a second under the crushing force of this large phalanx.
The modern magic world has not experienced a serious war for a long time. Just like the coalition of forces led by Maxim that was barely put together before, they almost all fought independently on the battlefield. Faced with the natural tendency to not fear death, It is difficult to form a relatively effective counterattack against the army's wave of zombies.
Now, three of the four major families have jointly taken over the eastern defense line of the second battlefield. After a setback, they finally showed the attitude that a wizard group should have in a war.
"boom-"
Almost at the same time, "Lazy Father" Samuel led half of his choir members to launch an attack. Hundreds of the same magic spells shot out in a parabola directly above the defense line. , the next moment the group of living corpses was filled with blooming "flame flowers".
The vanguard of the eastern defense line begins the counterattack!
