When the huge golden palm appeared on the edge of the city wall, Alexander couldn't help but fall into astonishment.
"Bigbye... Vajra Palm?!" Alexander almost muttered. As a prince of the empire, Alexander received dual training in martial arts and magic at a young age. Larvin did this not because he wanted to train his child to be an all-rounder in both magic and martial arts. He just wanted his child to have the most comprehensive exposure to the power of the world, so that he could choose the growth method that best suited him.
As a result, Joffrey became a high-level mage, and Alexander became the highly anticipated high-level paladin.
But precisely because of his childhood education, although Alexander was not proficient in magic, he could still use simple zero-level tricks and some first-level spells. Not only that, during the foundation stage, he also had a general understanding of the overall structure of the magical world, at least he understood most of the representative high-level spells.
According to Alexander's cognitive judgment, the spell currently being cast by Annelotte is a very representative eighth-level evocation spell: Big Worship Vajra Palm.
Bigbai's Protective Palm, Bigbai's Vajra Palm, and Bigbai's Shattering Palm were all created by a legendary mage named Bigbai thousands of years ago. From the perspective of the spell structure of the magic circle, there is not much difference between these spells except for their power.
In terms of power, Bigbai's Vajra Palm is stronger than Bigbai's Protective Palm, but slightly inferior to Bigbai's Shattering Palm. Apart from its huge power, this eighth-level spell has no other outstanding features.
But Alexander also knew that even the magical force field formed by the eighth-level spell was not enough to destroy the ruins of the already dilapidated city wall. At least not enough for the city wall to form a gate that could allow the northern army to march straight in. What exactly does Annelotte want to do
And then, a scene appeared that Alexander would never forget. Because Annelotte used one hand to maintain the stability of the magic circle in front of her, she freed up her right hand and started chanting and casting spells again!
"Multiple...casting?!" Cold sweat broke out from Alexander's forehead. This is a very difficult metamagic skill to master. As far as he knows, there are no other magicians in the Hawke Empire except Archmage Mel. Any mage masters this skill.
As we know, there are many spells that cannot be released directly after chanting the spell. After the magic is formed, the mage still needs to continue to guide to maintain and control the power of the magic. The Big Worship Vajra Palm is such a spell.
Normally, when a mage is channeling a spell, he cannot chant other spells again. Because at this time most of his attention is focused on guidance, and the spiritual realm also needs to release mental power to control magic.
But there is a kind of super magic skill that can break this rule. This super magic skill is multi-casting. Strictly speaking, there are some differences between multicasting and metamagic techniques such as quick spell casting and silent spell casting. Because it does not cost anything for using it, for example, casting a spell instantly will consume four times the magic power of the spell.
There is no such problem with multi-casting. This is more appropriately described as a spell-casting skill than a metamagic skill. It tests the caster's ability to do two things at once and to control his mental power more flexibly and delicately.
But these two simple items have discouraged countless spellcasters because they are too difficult...
But Annelotte did it. She didn't know when she had mastered this spell-casting skill. She can even use this spell-casting technique to cast two eighth-level high-level spells at the same time!
Annelotte's second spell choice was Sunfire Explosion. Strictly speaking, this spell was described as an advanced and advanced version of the super fireball technique, and its blazing brilliance could also blind the enemy.
Alexander narrowed his eyes. He still didn't understand Annelotte's intention. So what if it was Big Worship's Vajra Palm and Sun Flame Explosion? This kind of power alone may be able to blow up the city wall to pieces, but open a road? I'm afraid it's still not enough!
But at this moment, the white powder floating in the city wall area caught Alexander's attention. Those things are not magic, but a very common thing in nature - frost.
Because of the long distance, Alexander did not feel the temperature changes in the city wall area. And if someone could get close there, he would find that that section of the city wall had been completely frozen by Annelotte's cryogenic realm. Because the range of the ability to be used this time was relatively large, the temperature in the entire city wall area was not particularly low, only about less than 20 degrees below zero.
But for Annelotte, this was enough.
"Using alternating hot and cold methods to weaken the material of the city wall? That's not bad." Alexander was not an idiot. He naturally understood Annelotte's intention, but he then said to himself: "But even so, as long as I’m afraid it’s still not enough!”
And next, what surprised Alexander the most happened.
A huge fireball with a diameter of more than two meters slowly flew in front of the city wall ten meters high from the ground. Its core gradually turned into a dazzling golden red, and the increasingly violent buzzing sound also proved that the fireball had arrived. On the verge of explosion.
Immediately afterwards, a giant palm fell from the sky. But the Bigg Bai Vajra Palm, which was bigger than the fireball, did not bombard the city wall. It slowly closed under Annelotte's control, and buckled the fireball onto the city wall like a straight tube.
We all know that both the heat energy generated by the explosion and the rapidly expanding air require space to carry it. Once there is insufficient space, the explosion will break through the weakest part of the restricted space to open up more space.
And now the five directions of the fireball's upper, lower, east, west, and north are bound by the extremely hard Bigg Bai Vajra Palm. In which direction will the force generated by the explosion be released? There is no doubt that the only way to go is towards the city wall in the south that has become fragile under the ravages of magic cannon fire and Annelotte's low temperature field.
When the dazzling light was blocked by Big Bai Vajra Palm, many Stork soldiers breathed a sigh of relief. They even thought that this idiot mage would block the light of their own spells. Wouldn't this reduce their combat pressure
But a few seconds later, a loud noise that almost shattered the eardrums of ordinary people came. This time the fire did not shoot into the sky like before, but it sprayed horizontally towards the south, looking like a magic cannon at the moment of firing.
But this is not a magic cannon. The energy contained in the "artillery" created by Annelotte using two eighth-level spells is far beyond what a single shell of the magic cannon can match. The energy contained in the eighth-level spell is actually enough to destroy the walls of Costa Fortress, but the only problem is the efficiency of energy utilization.
Annelotte used another spell to perfectly solve this problem. As a result, all the warriors saw a huge hole appearing in the almost indestructible wall of Costa Fortress in their eyes. A hole big enough for them to rush in!
Annelotte used the cryogenic domain again, but this time she controlled the power gently, just to cool down the city wall that had become hot again due to the instantaneous explosion. Otherwise, the terrifying high temperature alone would make those warriors who risk their lives to charge drink a bottle of wine.
About half a minute later, Annelotte released Flash Explosion again. When the regiment leader Oliver saw this signal, he made an immediate decision. He raised his long sword and reached the Costa Fortress: "That is our fortress! Let us work together to take him back from the hands of the Southerners! Follow me!"
When the Hawke Empire's troops poured into Fortress Costa from another entrance, Alexander obviously felt that the pressure on his side was much less. He wiped the blood splattered on his face and continued to fight.
Lisanna looked at Alexander who was still fighting in the distance, and her mind couldn't help but become confused.
At this time, she finally understood how weak she was: she was not as strong as Alexander. Such a personal guard was not so much protecting her as taking care of Alexander's daily life, and for Alexander, these were In fact, it doesn't matter; she doesn't have the ability to command troops, and she can't even command a small-scale commando well. In the end, if Alexander hadn't made enough preparations and Annelotte was strong enough, she might have made a big mistake today.
I feel so powerless again, just like that time in my hometown...
Lisanna suddenly realized how ridiculous she had been all these years. She was just a fisherman's daughter. Even if she got the guidance of the Imperial Sword Spirit by chance, she was still a rude woman who only knew how to fight and slash.
And what was she thinking? She was thinking about being the wife of an imperial prince, and she was thinking about being with the best and most outstanding prince in the Hawke Empire forever. He was so outstanding, so dazzling, and she... was just a fisherman's daughter. She knew nothing but fighting, but even the only thing she knew was far behind Alexander.
If a toad wanting to eat swan meat was a joke, then Lisanna felt that even the toad would laugh at her idea. It's... so ridiculous!
After realizing this, Lisanna also made up her mind. After this battle is over, she will submit her resignation to Alexander...
