The low sound of the horn was like an invisible ripple, spreading throughout the entire camp. The desolate sound seemed to have some kind of magic power, causing everyone to turn their heads in the direction of the sound.
"What the hell!"
This was obviously not the long blast of the self-military horn, which made Zaire's brows twist into a knot. His many years of military experience made him immediately react to what happened. He didn't care about arguing with the mages anymore. He took three steps and
Rush out of the camp in two steps
The Zhang Huang's movements made the wound on his leg that had just stopped bleeding seem to burst again, and he grinned in pain - but now, that was no longer the point. He raised his head and looked into the distance. At the end of his sight, the civilians who were working on their own on the hillside did not know where they were.
It has already begun to move towards the four city gates, and in front of the camp, the gate is slowly closing!
This process does not seem to be fast, but when the knights of the Wolf Claws finally formed a team and were dispatched and then lined up under the city, after the two or three hourglass scales of time passed, what they faced was already a rising tower.
The heavily defended city of Burgundy
"Damn, bastard, hell!" Looking at the blue-gray, silent and towering city wall in front of him, and the dark, closed metal gate, Zaire could only grit his teeth and let out a series of low curses!
Although it is known as the claws of the Demon Wolf, in fact, the knights led by Zaire are just one of the four thousand-man regiments with this name. It is just a number of the Demon Wolf Knights - in terms of number,
There are only more than 940 people, and there are only 323 real knights among them, accounting for only one-third of the personnel. The rest of the waiters and candidates have no mounts most of the time, and can only serve as bows and arrows and infantry.
role
Although these few knights were fully armed and lined up in a row, the combination of special double-layer chain armor and half-length armor, as well as wooden cavalry lances, gave them a unique momentum... The setting sun gradually set the red and yellow
The bright red luster on the smooth carapace, the transparent and bright, silent mounts and the posture of charging with the spears turned upside down, make these three people seem to be able to defeat thousands or ten thousand people...
They are the elite who have been fighting for thousands of miles on the imperial land for the rest of their lives. This kind of momentum is a must.
It's a pity that facing the thirty-foot-high city wall, even if their momentum is ten times more elite, it is just momentum... Just like spears and shields, water and fire; city walls and knights, they have been the same since ancient times.
The existence of restraint and restraint, even the most elite in the kingdom... No, even the legendary Earth Dragon Knights who belonged to the ancient emperor are not qualified to treat the city as nothing.
That's the arrogance that only Sky Knights can have.
"I am Baron Zaire of the Fourth Battalion, Fourth Battalion, Seventh Knights of the Kingdom!"
After a few helpless curses in a low voice, Zaire could only choose to use a more primitive and passive method to convey the message to the other party: "Open your city gate, I have something important to do. I want to interview with your Excellency the city lord, and get
His reply!"
"It turns out to be Baron Zaire"
A voice came down slowly from the tower. Even if it is expanded by the power of magic, you can still feel the crispness and grace in it, like the gurgling water.
Standing next to Zaire, the female mage in black robe raised her head and noticed the woman who appeared on the top of the city - her platinum hair color, deep facial features and white and delicate skin combined into an impressive image.
Profound face. At this moment, this delicate face is showing a shallow, elegant and charming smile.
Rose Black frowned. Maybe even the most demanding etiquette officer would not be able to find anything wrong with this 'aristocratic smile', but precisely because of this, it makes people...for example, Rose
Silk Black felt an extreme disgust - that could be said to be a model for all nobles in the world, in terms of hypocrisy... so the mages without exception criticized it.
Among them, mages from minor aristocrats like Rose Black are the most disgusted with this kind of thing. They have become accustomed to being criticized as "shitty aristocratic stuff."
"Sorry, Your Excellency Baron, I think I have already explained to you that our city lord, Your Excellency Edward, is not in the city of Burgundy now, and just a moment ago, there were some difficult internal affairs in the city. Therefore, it is necessary to temporarily proceed
There is a curfew for a period of time. Therefore, unless there is a major event that is particularly necessary, we cannot accept your visit for the time being. We apologize for the rudeness."
"asshole!"
The woman's understatement made Zaire roar. Even without the use of magical amplification, the roar spread far away, reaching the top of the city tower: "What internal affairs! You have just committed an unforgivable crime,
Your soldiers dared to openly attack and even try to kill an imperial baron. This is a crime of treason! If you cannot give me a correct explanation on this matter, then I will treat you, and your entire city, as...
They are all rioters..."
"Your Excellency, Baron Zaire, please forgive me for not being able to accept your accusation, because in my opinion, your words are ridiculous..."
The female noble opened her mouth and cut off the knight's roar with cold and harsh sarcasm: "In the past few hours, days or even decades, no one among the residents of Burgundy has ever committed a crime.
Not to mention the sin of attacking nobles, I need to wake you up. Even tens of thousands of years ago, the barbaric gods
The crudest orc code promulgated by the Cyclops King Gruumsh also stipulates in the second article, "Killing must be punished with life, stealing and cutting must be proved!" And let me ask, Baron, what do you think of us?
People in the city dare to attack you in such a treacherous way... So, how do you prove what you say?"
"Nonsense!" Zaire roared. At this time, the military mage beside him finally added the amplification magic to him, so the roar became louder and deafening: "I am a baron, and what I say is evidence.
!”
"For civilians, this is indeed the case." The woman's voice was calm and gentle, but it was sharp like a needle in cotton.
"But please don't forget that your accusation is not just against an individual, but against the guard of the city of Burgundy. In other words, this is an accusation against me...my lord of the city, His Excellency Lord Edward Saint.
, accuse him of being lax in his service, and as a noble you must abide by the emperor... abide by the laws and regulations of Tuminis, present your evidence and complain to His Majesty the King."
"Asshole...bastard!" Zaire couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, and then couldn't help but curse loudly... When he was offended by the dwarf and the mongrel elf, many people did see it, but he also knew that those guys
They are all residents of this city. It is definitely impossible to testify against him. But his two men have already fallen into each other's possessions. It is easy to silence them. It is simply life-threatening.
That's right, if you take their lives, you will naturally die without any evidence.
Therefore, at this time, the angry curses of the Thousand People Chief were a bit boring and weak.
"I am Rose Black, a high-level mage from the Kingdom's Romantic City Guards Assistance Defense Mage Group,"
But Zaire's misfortune seems to have ended here - the impatient black-robed mage finally took over: "I was ordered to carry out a major mission in Burgundy. According to the sacred authority entrusted to me by His Majesty the King,
, you can ask for the cooperation of any lord, even a Duke, so I order you to open the city gate now and let me and Lord Zaire, who is responsible for cooperating with me, enter the city!"
"This... Dear Master, we can cooperate with your work."
In response to this tough statement, the face of the woman who claimed to be the city lord's staff showed hesitation for the first time. She gritted her teeth: "But our city lord is not in the city now, and my authority does not allow me to judge your orders.
Authenticity, so if necessary we can..."
"So, are you disobeying the will of His Majesty the Great King?" The black-robed female mage sneered sharply, ending her words: "If this is the case, I would like to ask you, are there any mage in my country?
Are you qualified to judge you, a commoner who dares to disobey His Majesty the King’s orders?”
The answer on the tower was silent, and the silence slowly spread in the following time...
The female mage raised her head and looked at the tall city wall,
At this time, except for the woman and her entourage, there was no one on the city wall. However, in the towering towers and under the raised battlements, there were numerous black shadows flashing. It was obvious that the other party's intentions were not what they appeared on the surface.
So friendly and laid-back
Their purpose is obviously to delay. Relying on this city, they can wait for at least ten days and a half, and even bring the matter to His Majesty the King, or wait until they have enough backers - for that little guy, he
It is true that he has such strength, or his teacher who is a **** master will not have the leisure to follow him
But, with what? That city wall over thirty feet high?
In the shadow of the hood, the woman showed a sharp smile
It is indeed magnificent, but it only covers a layer of teleportation circle and has no anti-magic effect. No matter how strong it is, it is not worth it in the face of the great and omnipotent arcana.
"Stone Shaping Technique!"
She whispered while taking out a pale palm from her sleeve and waving forward.
In an instant, a bright light burst out from her and the seven mages behind her at the same time! It was the magic ring ritual of the mages - using the magic resonance to form an energy channel, temporarily connecting the powers of the mages, and with the help of seven companions,
With her own open spirit as the backing, Rose Black instantly strengthened her spirit to the point where she could operate on demons at a deeper level, extracting their power to upgrade her caster level, reaching levels far beyond her true level.
The situation...
So, in front of her, the flat land in front of the city gate automatically surged with the sound of this brief order!
Accompanied by a subtle roar, the ground trembled, and then it turned into shaking. The huge arcane power gathered on the surface, causing the soil to surge upward like a splash, but there was not a trace of dust rising up, but water waves like soft mud.
Gather together!
The brown soil then transformed into a gray hard surface. The rocks were pulled and shaped by an unintentional giant. Rows of soil and rocks formed an upward staircase, like an unearthed dragon with five heads.
, it stretched out to the upper level almost in the blink of an eye - once the earth and stone steps were formed, they seemed to be completely natural, and there were even some simple patterns on them, as if they should have appeared there originally.
Several rays of green light burst out from the watchtower and onto the upward-stretching stone wall. However, the effectiveness of dispelling magic was far from being able to compete with the majestic power gathered by the ring ceremony. The extending and protruding stones were just
After shaking for a while, he continued to move forward. After a few breaths, the stone hit the city head with a bang.
After the explosion, the battlefield was silent for a while, as if a silent angel flew over everyone present, rendering them speechless.
Zaire stared at the scene in front of him in surprise and even stopped breathing for a moment.
Although he also prides himself on being knowledgeable about magic, in the previous expedition against the empire, most of the sieges and strongholds relied on strategy and superior maneuverability. Those fireballs and lightning were huge, but
This was the first time he had seen such a powerful and direct method.
In fact, this is a tactic that can only work in such a small city, where the opponent is not well prepared and is like a sneak attack on one's own people. But in the blink of an eye, the sky turns into a road... In such a miracle
In front of us, human beings always seem to feel their own insignificance very clearly, and are deprived of most of their consciousness by that inexplicable shock.
Fortunately, he quickly remembered his purpose
"Come forward!"
Pointing his long spear at the ground, he shouted loudly!
"Ula!" The belated order finally woke up the knights. The leading knights of each team roared habitually, urging their mounts! So the next moment, on every stone bridge, there were more than forty pairs of horse hooves flying back and forth.
Touching the ground, a war horse galloped over with a rumble and a trembling sound - so much so that the dust between the newly built solid stone slabs rose up to form a layer of light mist!
The shouts of killing began!
This sudden change obviously caught the city defenders by surprise... No one expected that the friendly forces from the Empire sequence would attack the city so simply. In panic, they threw a round of arrows, but the mages immediately pulled out a
The wall of wind blew it away!
A look of surprise flashed in her eyes
Looking down from the tower, the neat streets are a bit breathtaking. The buildings here are all made of wood. They are in the form of very beautiful two- and three-story buildings, with similar shapes connected to form a strip.
When walking down the street, combined with the flat and smooth stone pavement on the ground, a unique atmosphere and momentum are naturally formed.
From the open doors of those shops, you can see the beautiful furnishings inside. It seems that many of the furniture in the room are fixed on the walls, and the logs are not as rough and rough as the houses in other places. They look not only very smooth but even
Simple patterns are also etched... The bluestone floors of the entire street are neat and solid, without the slightest bit of the dirty and putrid smell of rural cities, the smell of animals mixed with the putrid smell of humans for many years, and there are bursts of...
Light wood aroma,
The female mage raised her eyebrows. He knew that this was because the inside and outside of these houses had been carefully polished and decorated to produce the aura - such a project is not huge, but it usually almost never happens.
... There have never been any special regulations for urban buildings. Those who built them are usually businessmen, so after all, even if a large-scale re-planning is carried out, the city manager usually only needs to estimate the renovation of the streets.
If this is also planned by the young city lord, then he can really be called a qualified lord. Those are the most famous and few great cities on the mainland, such as Wangan City, Golden Castle, and others that will go down in history.
However, if these are really the masterpieces of the young lord, he has nothing to fear - life is short, and for a mage who is determined to explore arcane magic, time is always the most precious asset.
If you are multitasking and try to succeed in everything, the final result may be that your life will be wasted in these boring directions.
But this is not necessarily the case... According to legend, the cities built by arcane masters thousands of years ago also had a unified architectural style, even neat and detailed dream cities.
The female mage suddenly thought like this
Naturally, this idea did not appear in her mind for no reason.
The next moment, she couldn't help but take a breath of cold air
A faint layer of clouds and mist enveloped this towering building. The city lord's fortress was at the end of the street.
But this is not so much a castle as it is a high tower. The green-black building is surrounded by lower fortress-like buildings, made of bricks and stones, but the main body in the center is large enough to be a castle.
Skyrocketing! The blue-grey exterior is thick and solid, with countless magic symbols and magic arrays embedded in prominent positions.
A magic tower?
That thin layer of clouds and mist is obviously an effect that can only be caused by magic, making the entire building under the protection of arcane magic. Because of this, only by entering the city, and even approaching a certain distance, can people truly
You can clearly see the true appearance of this tall tower that is more than one foot long. As long as you leave a certain distance, there is just a layer of sky shrouded in light mist.
A real magic tower? Welcome, your support is my biggest motivation
