Soul of Searing Steel

Chapter 68: Reinforcements 2

Views:

Wild beasts have no intelligence, they can only use brute force to climb walls and breathe without any technical content, but even so, it is terrifying enough. If the city wall under Veldani's feet had not been blessed with a legendary level of steel, it would have been shattered by the tsunami-like magical breath.

Looking sideways at the city guards not far away who were busy debugging various defensive equipment and the soldiers who were quickly setting up defenses, the purple-haired mage knew that all available soldiers in Moldova were here, even those who could fight. The civilians are all using it, but even so, compared to the still-increasing army of wild beasts, it is as nothing as a drop in the bucket.

"It's been three days since the aid letter was sent out... there's been no reply, there's been no aid."

She slammed the staff in her hand towards the ground. She didn't know whether it was anxiety or pain in her heart. She spoke word by word and gritted her teeth and said: "Why don't those people understand! What if the Moldova Fortress was destroyed? If we break through, then the entire Northland will not be able to escape! Without the fortress transformed from the mountains to stop them, these wild beasts can attack any manor and village at will!"

After venting for a while, the mage knew it was of no use, so she regained her composure. Shaking her head, the countess looked at the approaching beast tide, frowning in thought.

Ta-ta.

There were footsteps behind the purple-haired mage.

Turning her head, Veldani saw a swordsman with blond hair and red eyes.

"You came."

Facing this swordsman who was wearing simple brown leather armor and carrying two long swords on his waist, the mage sighed softly, and then stopped talking. The swordsman walked up to the mage and hugged him silently. She then said calmly and straightforwardly: "I came from the imperial capital, Dany... come with me."

He let go of his hands and looked directly into the eyes of the purple-haired mage. Without waiting for the other party's reply, he continued: "This beast tide has exceeded the normal scale. I can see that there is an aura of chaos behind it. This is no longer a Earl, if the situation can be handled by the territory, I will report it to His Majesty the Emperor and ask him to dispatch five legions to help you exterminate the beast tide... But before that, you must not stay in this dangerous situation."

When speaking, the blonde-haired and red-eyed swordsman's eyes were as firm as a rock, and his unshakable will could be seen.

“Brandon Kaos…”

Shaking her head, the countess refused with a wry smile: "Not to mention that the five major legions are already overwhelmed to suppress the rioting beasts in the central region of the empire... You mean to ask me to give up my territory and people and live alone? Isn't that right? Maybe, I understand your good intentions, but I can’t agree to it.”

"It's impossible for you to defend against 200,000 crazy monsters carrying the aura of chaos."

The swordsman named Brandon did not answer directly. He simply pointed out a question: "As a golden mage, your sacrifice here has no value."

At this point, his tone changed, even with a hint of pleading: "Dani, if it were before, I would definitely accompany you to defend this fortress. As long as I am with you, I will be willing to die. … But now you are the mother of our children. Even if you don’t think about yourself, you must think about your daughters. They cannot lose their mother.”

The purple-haired mage fell into silence. The figures of two young girls appeared in her mind. The older one inherited her mother's violet hair color, while the younger one had golden hair like her father.

The Countess' eyes softened a little, but she still refused: "Brandon, I admit that I am indeed not a qualified mother... My daughter can be taken away by you, and I will live and die with my territory, This is my destiny."

"Do you mean that I, who is also a gold-level person, want to watch my woman die in the mouth of a monster, and then escape despicably by myself?"

And this is not your destiny at all!

The purple-haired mage shook his head quietly and did not answer the question.

Not knowing how to persuade the woman in front of him, the blond swordsman was extremely upset, but he couldn't tell the information he said he knew.

As a direct descendant of Kabala Kaos, the legendary mage who sealed the narrow passage of time and space in another world hundreds of years ago, Brandon Kaos naturally knows the truth behind this land. Three of the four major families in the North are descendants of the heroes who originally explored other worlds and sealed the passage of time and space. But now, except for the Radcliffe family, which recently broke out in civil strife and the new earl just succeeded to the throne, the other families are all descendants. He gave up this persistence and chose to become an ordinary noble.

And this time there are a few wild gods mixed in with the beast tide, which clearly shows signs of Chaos believers or even the evil gods themselves. The ones who should be fighting them should be him and the new Chaos Watcher of the Radcliffe family, not the ones in front of him. This incompetent female mage!

Faced with the insistence of the one he loved, the Golden Swordsman really didn't know what to do. He could only stand beside her and watch the beast tide approaching in the distance.

(If that doesn’t work, just knock her out and take her away by force at the most dangerous moment!)

Just when Brandon was secretly thinking about this, the array of wild beasts had already jumped over the nearest hill and was about to arrive near the city wall. All the soldiers guarding the city were ready to prepare, although due to the continuous They are exhausted from the war, but they also have rich experience. All kinds of alchemy cannons and enchanted ballistas are fully equipped with ammunition, and war mages and elemental archers are also ready.

The inspection team composed of silver warriors is always on alert. If a monster rushes onto the city wall, they will shoot it down. As long as the city wall does not collapse, no matter how many monsters there are, they will only need to deal with one or two thousand at the same time.

It is impossible for 200,000 monsters to rush in at the same time. They are divided into dozens of waves, and different types attack back and forth. If there are only this number at a time, this group of warriors has enough confidence.

The herd was getting closer.

Three thousand meters.

Two thousand meters.

One thousand meters.

Coming soon.

"Enemy, five hundred meters ahead, prepare for battle!"

The horn of preparation sounded at the highest point of the tower. The sound was torn apart by the north wind, but it could still reach everyone's ears. Everyone braced themselves at this time, and the mages joined forces to connect the magic power. , with complicated spell runes, and the archers drew their bows at full capacity, and the city guards who controlled the artillery and ballistas were also ready to fire.

"attack!"

Following the order, the glow of spells illuminated the night sky in an instant. Countless war spells of various types were jointly cast. Huge thunder struck the group of wild beasts across a distance of hundreds of meters, and silver-blue electric currents Scurrying around, at least more than a hundred monsters of various types were killed on the spot or were incapacitated, and the ensuing flames and ice easily ignited and penetrated them all, killing them completely.

Moldova has always had the most mages among the four realms. Even the lord is a gold-level mage. After the first wave of spells, there was an overwhelming rain of arrows. They came down with a violent buzzing sound. It penetrated countless weak wild beasts and nailed them to the spot, while some powerful monsters were also injured by arrows with barbs and blood grooves. Purple-black turbid blood flowed out, and their physical strength gradually lost.

Every time the alchemy cannon and the enchanted ballista are fired, a huge hole will be created in the dense herd of beasts. The violent explosion will raise bursts of dust mist, mixed with the purple-black mist from the wild beasts, rising into the air, and then slowly dissipating. But this was just the first wave of beasts. After it, there was still a huge army that spread to the horizon and roared forward. The holes caused by the previous bombardment were quickly filled, as if they had never appeared.

The Warcraft also responded with various breaths. Although they were unable to use more powerful natural spells due to their madness, the simplest breaths not only did not weaken, but also strengthened their power due to the increase in magic power.

The breath like cannonballs hit the city wall, and the rubble scattered, leaving countless large craters. Some unlucky soldiers on the city wall were hit. They were either frozen, burned, or electrocuted. He was charred black and died immediately on the spot.

Under the protection of the tower, the mages did not receive too many attacks. Their magic power recovered quickly with the assistance of the magic circle, and they continued to release spells one after another. The archers also did not have any interruption. They delayed Although the demonic beasts were advancing, the front end of the beast tide still advanced step by step, touching the bottom of the city wall, and countless flying giant bats and flying dragons also came to the sky above the fortress.

The dizzying ultrasonic waves and ice breath fell from the sky, disrupting the rhythm of the bombardment of the alchemical artillery on the city wall. Suddenly, the beast tide advanced even further. The originally numerous sunken city walls were covered with monster bodies, and they quickly moved towards them. Crawling above.

"Troublesome bugs."

Seeing this scene, the countess who had been silent snorted coldly. She raised her gray ironwood staff and pointed it at the sky.

The light between the fortresses seemed to suddenly become brighter, and the haze was swept away. One after another, under the will of the golden mage Veldani, long red lines formed complex patterns like gears in the atmosphere. The layers are superimposed to form a spectacular and beautiful huge six-pointed star formation.

Gold level magic [Star of David].

In the next moment, countless red-gold beams of light were shot out from the center of the magic circle, hitting the giant bats and flying dragons in mid-air at the speed of light. Every time these beams hit the target, they would cause a huge explosion, and they would also Change direction and hit another monster.

Suddenly, countless charred corpses with stinky smells fell like rain. As if they were afraid of this terrible power, the herd of flying monsters immediately stayed away, and no longer dared to get too close to the top of the fortress, but used their breath and talents from a distance. Ability to harass.

The battle situation has reached a stalemate, but the advantage is not on the human side. In order to guard against the gold-level monsters that may make sneak attacks and the flying species that have been wandering in the air, the two golden powerhouses Veldani and Brandon can only occasionally take action to repel those who are about to climb up. The monsters on the city wall, although the mages, archers and various alchemy equipment in the towers are still causing a lot of damage, but for the really endless beast tide, this is just better than nothing.

As time goes by, the piles of corpses at the bottom of the city wall are getting higher and higher, and the spirits of some lower-level mages can no longer survive. The archers generally use more than ten quivers, and most of the alchemical artillery pieces They have stopped firing, and the gunners have begun to take out their swords and follow the patrol team to eliminate the monsters that have climbed to the edge of the city wall.

In the many days of fighting, most of the supplies of the Moldova Fortress have been consumed, and now they are the last remaining stock.

"No! We can't go on like this."

Brandon waved his swords, and the dark blue fighting spirit swept across the city wall, beheading a row of climbing beasts. He frowned and said to Veldani who had just released two gold-level magics to drive back the flying beasts. : "You were able to hold on in the past because of sufficient supplies, but that's no longer possible. These wild beasts seem to be determined to break through the fortress this time. They have piled up a slope with corpses. Without a large number of siege equipment, Come on, you can’t hold it!”

"If you can't hold it, you'll die!"

Due to her mental exhaustion due to the continuous use of powerful magic, the countess' face was extremely pale and her voice was extremely cold. She seemed to be simply holding on: "I can't just abandon these soldiers who are fighting with me and run away like this! "

"You can only take revenge later if you don't die. Perseverance now is meaningless!"

Just when Brandon was about to give up persuasion and prepare to sneak attack and knock out the purple-haired mage, he suddenly noticed that a red light lit up at the end of his field of vision.

The dark and gloomy cloud curtain was torn apart by an extremely condensed fighting spirit. The stars at night in the North and the magnificent purple-blue sky appeared directly in front of everyone, and when the silver-white moonlight fell, a handful of them wrapped around them. The lance glowing black and red flew across a distance of several thousand meters and landed in the center of the beast tide.

"call!"

There was no huge explosion or dusty eruption. The black-red power erupted for a moment, and then dissipated silently. But no one dared to ignore this blow, because where it fell, there was only There was deathly silence, and all the wild beasts that came into contact with the black and red light died silently. The extremely solid ice, snow and frozen soil that had been frozen for thousands of years also collapsed directly, as if it had been melted and evaporated. Only the steel lance stood majestically. The center of the pothole.

The golden swordsman looked at the place where the light came from in shock.

As the snow, fog and dust filled the air, figures one after another climbed over the distant hills and appeared in front of everyone on the city wall.

"That's, that's the Radcliffe family flag!"

The elf archer who was blessed with the eagle eye skill and carried a telescope could clearly see the scene on the side of the mountain in the distance. He couldn't help but exclaimed and shouted: "It's reinforcements!"

"What?!"

Book Review Area - The 25-meter-thick city wall is because the entire fortress is made of hollowed-out mountains. As long as it is dug less, not to mention 25 meters, it is possible to be 100 meters.

Yes, that is a fortress made of hollowed-out stone piers. It is not built - in fact, in a fantasy world, it is not difficult to build, and it is very necessary. The five or six meter thick city wall can be breathed out by hundreds of monsters. It collapsed, this is a world with magic and fighting spirit...

It’s better to be tired. How about some recommendation votes
