The afternoon sun shines into the room, and the firewood on the fireplace is constantly burning, providing warmth for this study.
Kane was sitting at the desk, thinking about something with his head down. In front of him was a map of the vicinity of the territory.
"Is it really to find reinforcements?"
He could only hear him muttering to himself in a low voice, and at the same time, his fingers tapped lightly on the table.
"wrong!"
"With Duke Manvila's own power, it is absolutely impossible to find a fourth-level or even fifth-level extraordinary."
"So, what are they planning?"
Kane couldn't help thinking while looking at the map.
Suddenly, there was a sound of hurried footsteps in the distance.
"Step, step, step."
Immediately afterwards, the door of his study was quickly opened by the owner of the footsteps.
"Kangdang."
"En!?" Kane looked towards the gate, only then did he realize that the other party was Mage Adeline.
Kane, who noticed something was wrong, hurriedly stood up and asked the other party.
"Lord Adeline, what happened?"
Adeline looked at Kane with a serious face and said: "Just now, the water element I summoned, Ascorin informed me that the other party has a new move."
"What!?" Kane asked in shock.
It's only been a day. Could it be that Manvila's army is coming again
As if in response to his guess, there were harsh alarm bells and loud noises from the city wall.
Adeline said speculatively: "It's very possible, anyway, we need to take a look, and call some of your superhumans by the way."
Kane nodded and said, "I see, my lord."
Before he could make the next move, a loud noise came from outside.
"boom!"
Kane looked out the window, and it turned out to be a huge boulder surrounded by flames, which hit the top of the protective shield.
Before Kane could think about what it was, the flaming boulder unexpectedly exploded.
"boom!!!"
The violent sound radiated to the surroundings, causing varying degrees of tinnitus in Kane's ears, and the protective shield that can withstand the fourth-order offensive seemed to fluctuate.
Immediately, Adeline ignored Kane who was still dizzy, and hurried towards the city wall.
Kane covered his ears in pain, he could feel that his vision was becoming blurred, and everything in front of him seemed to be shaking.
After a long time, his symptoms gradually subsided.
Kane let go of his hands just now, and when he saw the bloody palm, he let out a wry smile.
I'm afraid that my hearing will drop a little temporarily, but under the healing power, it should recover soon.
He rushed out along the door opened by Adeline.
Even himself has become like this, probably as a soldier of ordinary people.
Thinking of this, he quickened his pace and rushed to the city wall.
Along the way, he saw many villagers and servants squatting down and covering their ears.
Kane frowned. It's good that he can rely on healing power to recover, but what about these people? Maybe you can only rely on healing spells.
Walking out of the tower, Kane met Sitz and Catherine who rushed over.
Sitz, who was thin, was supporting Catherine, who was under the attack of the sound wave, and walked towards the city wall step by step.
It can be seen that Sitz's ears are also bleeding, and he is probably in the same condition as Kane, but it seems that he has the blessing of werewolf blood, and his condition is slightly better than Catherine.
"Sitz!"
Kane yelled.
Despite some hearing loss, Sitz still heard Kane's voice.
"grown ups!"
Kane approached the two of them and asked, "How are you doing? Is there any serious problem?"
"Ah!? What did you say, my lord?"
Sitz asked uncertainly.
Seeing this, Kane sighed, and it seemed that he would not be able to communicate for a while.
Immediately, he gestured to Sitzby, Kane first pointed to the city wall, and then pointed to the three of them.
Sitz immediately understood and nodded.
Kane raised Catherine's other hand, leaned it on his shoulder, supported her with Sitz, and walked towards the top of the city wall.
Catherine, who was not yet sane, said in a daze, "My lord, this is"
However, Kane, who was half-deaf, did not hear her whispered question at all.
In this way, the three of them stumbled to the top of the city wall.
Putting Catherine aside to rest, Kane and Sitz checked the situation here.
Sure enough, just as Kane thought, the soldiers who were ordinary people all passed out on the ground, and blood flowed from both ears.
Not far from Kane and the others, Adeline was talking to her summoned water elemental.
Kane turned around and gestured at Sitzby. He pointed to the wounded and made medical actions again.
Sitz nodded knowingly, expressing his understanding.
He immediately began to chant healing spells to heal everyone.
Kane stood on the top of the city wall, looking at the Manvila army approaching again from the opposite side.
The difference from last time was that this time there were many giant catapults in their army.
It seemed that it was very troublesome to load the flaming boulder just now. Until Kane had walked to the top of the city wall and even checked the status of the soldiers, the other party hadn't finished loading the next round.
The ringing in Kane's ears was disappearing, and the blockage was completely gone.
He understood that his healing power was working and his hearing was back.
"That's a Limestone."
At some point, Adeline and her water element had already walked beside Kane and the others.
Kane asked suspiciously: "Energetic?"
Adeline continued: "That's right, this is an alchemy item from the dwarves, and it is said that the effect can compare to the damage of a third-order high-level."
"So that's the case. No wonder even I can't bear it. I didn't expect this thing to hurt so much."
Adeline said solemnly: "Your opponent is very capable, and he can even find this thing. You must know that this energy stone bomb is an item that is hard to come by."
"At the same time, although this thing is called a powerful stone bomb, the real effect lies in the violent sonic attack after the explosion, so it can hurt you who are far away in the tower."
Kane frowned and said, "Then this is really tricky. If we come a few more times, ordinary people in our castle may not be able to bear it."
"Don't worry, have you seen the action on the other side? They can get one shot of this Limestone bomb, which is already considered astounding, and there will be no more."
Hearing Adeline's words, Kane breathed a sigh of relief.
"Then I'm at ease."
"It's not time to relax our vigilance yet. It's uncertain whether the opponent has any new tricks." Adeline reminded.
"Understood, Your Excellency, it's just me, a soldier." Kane looked at Adeline with some embarrassment.
Maybe she was bored by him, or saw through Kane's little thoughts, Adeline immediately lowered her head and chanted a healing spell.
The efficiency of completely healing several nearby soldiers together with Catherine is much higher than that of Sitz.
"Ascorin, go and move them down."
"Yes, Lady Adeline."
I saw the water element, holding a person in one hand, using his own ability to quickly move the soldiers who were still in a coma down the city wall.
