Regarding the imperial capital of Scambrai, no matter what has happened in the past four years, no matter how many innocent ghosts cry day and night in the once again prosperous streets and alleys, no matter how many wealthy mansions have cut off their incense after two disasters, in short
, in the winter of the ninth year of magic, this city that has survived the vicissitudes of life was recovered. As for the trauma of the past - all those in power believe that nearly eternity will make it all disappear.
Faced with the miserable state of the imperial capital, even Duke Fan, a warlord with a heart as hard as iron and a greed for money, was in no mood to plunder this land anymore.
Although trapped for nearly half a year, Xi's army retreated strategically in an orderly manner. You can imagine how many large magic teleportation arrays were needed to teleport 30,000 to 40,000 soldiers in one day and night, and how many magic crystals were needed to be buried in these teleportation arrays. However,
The troops in the Jingwu War Zone searched the whole city, but couldn't find even a teleportation magic crystal - obviously, these magicians teleported away all the crystals after teleporting the soldiers. In the end, the magicians took them with them
The last crystal of the magic circle left Scambrae using a space jump magic similar to positioning. This illustrates the power of the Western Magic Empire from another perspective. Duke Fan hesitated again and again while praising the strict prohibition style of the Western Magic Empire, and finally sent a
The Eudemons Knight made a special trip to the Plain of Flowers to inform the Imperial Grand Marshal Amy. The Duke’s kindness was somewhat of an afterthought. Now, the front line of the Plains of Flowers was tense, with magic cannons pointing at the magic cannons, and the Dragon Knight guns arriving.
Live at the level of Dragon Knight Gun!
Exactly like any other great plague, the great plague of nine years in the magic calendar went through a complete cycle from outbreak to disappearance. The weak and those with weak resistance fell one after another when the plague outbreak was at its strongest, while those who struggled from the edge of death
The patients who returned eventually gained the ability to resist the plague and were immune for life, and even their descendants would gain resistance to the same plague.
After the winter of the ninth year of the Magical Calendar, the plague within the Holy See's circle in the Flower Language Plain has gradually stabilized. In addition to the epidemic, what is more important is the people's hearts; a large number of relatives and friends have died in the plague, and the survivors who have survived have already begun to feel the plague.
Not surprisingly, human nerves always seem to have such super elasticity - according to His Majesty the Pope: when the people's hearts are determined, they can be used.
Of course, it is not the people's indifference to death, nor the sermons of the Holy Vatican priests that really inspires the Western Emperor Cluster in the Flower Language Plain. It is the sudden appearance of more than a dozen azure magic arrays covering an area of dozens of acres in the Flower Language Plain - regardless of
Whether ordinary people, soldiers who have served for many years or even senior officers, they have never seen such a magnificent magic array, with thousands of magic crystals, crystal pillars half exposed on the ground, and water magic elves and ice magic elves from time to time.
Shuttle between the magic crystals, hundreds of thousands of magic elves jumped and laughed, and finally constructed semi-circular magic domes tens of meters high in mid-air... Apart from miracles, there seems to be no better one.
adjective of.
All human beings always have a fear of unknown things, and this fear, with a little guidance from the Holy Priest, turned into the confidence that the soldiers and civilians of the Western Emperor Cluster would be invincible - at least in the future.
Naturally, the Western Emperor Cluster built a large-scale fortress on the inside and once again dispatched knight troops to start routine inspections.
On the outside of the encirclement, the Eminor Continental Allied Forces (this term was proposed by His Highness Adam Ping and has been officially used in various documents) transported thousands of miles to surround the piles of corpses on the outside line, poured oil on them, and burned them day and night.
, hundreds of piles of corpses were burned for more than 20 days before they were all cremated.
During that period of time, a thick layer of dust floated over the Eminor continent at any time. When the wind stopped, small powder dust fell rustlingly, and white flowers were everywhere. As the New Year passed, for ten consecutive years, there were still flowers in the Plain of Flowers.
The vegetation in the surrounding areas is flourishing, and thatch grows two people tall. The yield of crops in the field is increased by at least 50%. The prairie dogs in the field all look like small waves - so fertile that it is mixed with every raindrop falling from the sky.
Use half of the organic fertilizer.
In previous years, it would have been snowing at this time, but this year, it was dry and cold, but there was no snow. In order to put enough pressure on the West Emperor cluster, the coalition not only strengthened the large-scale patrols of the aerial knights, but also sent out rangers to monitor the West Emperor along the encirclement.
The Cavaliers will immediately suppress any signs of something strange appearing. Amy has been under a lot of pressure recently. Chi Aotian went to the Northern Federation not long ago. According to Chi Ershao's public statement, he went to pay his respects to His Majesty the Emperor. Of course Amy knows this.
The request for condolences is to put pressure on His Majesty Hongshi - Second Young Master Chi is planning to use himself as a hostage in exchange for returning to Daqingshan. Based on the understanding of the officers of the small mercenary regiment towards His Majesty Hongshi, such a petition is probably the result of the two deputy commanders being
Put it back.
Seeing that the black rain was not stopping, Horns asked for leave from Amy and returned to the Northern Federation. He went back to the forest dwarf kingdom to ask for reinforcements. He estimated that he would bring back at least six thousand forest dwarf battle axes. In this way, the small mercenary group
The forest dwarf troops are approaching the 10,000 mark. Of the original four giants of the small mercenary group, Amy is the only one left. The other deputy leader, Su Geer, was seriously injured in Hamburg and has been in poor health.
And in terms of prestige, it cannot be compared with others. The entire heavy burden rests on Amy’s shoulders alone.
Amy is really worried about the magician army in the Western Magic Empire. According to estimates, this mysterious force should have appeared in the most powerful or mysterious way two or three months ago. Amy always thought that this mysterious force in the sky was
The heavy rain caused the magic army to not show up for a long time. Out of caution, Amy kept several elite troops under her command in a state of combat readiness.
I was worried that something would happen, and sure enough, something happened.
On February 1st, winter in the ninth year of the Magic Calendar, a light knight sent by the Knights Battalion of the small mercenary group faced off against a light cavalry unit of the Western Emperor in the southeast. Based on past experience, the coalition forces were now stronger, and both sides
The patrol team collided with each other, and the knights of the Western Emperor would take a few steps back to return to the crossbow range of their fortress. Today was an exception. More than thirty knights of the Western Emperor stood in the middle of the road in a mighty manner, and several knights rushed forward.
He took off the crossbow bolt from his back and turned the gear to load the crossbow bolt.
The knight leader of the small mercenary group led by Ah Lang, a young man who has been officially promoted to an imperial knight and enjoys the hereditary title of Duke. Looking at the extremely arrogant enemy in front of him, the little boy felt suspicious and motioned for the team to surround them in a half-moon shape.
, while asking the two knights behind him to take their horses back to report the news.
On guard in this direction is the small mercenary group Demon Swordsman Battalion. After many expansions, the size of the Demon Swordsman Battalion has exceeded the thousand-man mark. After Lin Yushang became the king of the Eastern Magic Empire, he specially sent two instant
The magic master's magician is resident in the magic swordsman camp to guide...
Hearing that there was a conflict, everyone's eyes lit up in the Demon Swordsman Chief's tent, and the one who screamed fiercely was An Qiu Sheng. In order to prevent this annoying guy from causing more trouble to her, Amy gave a clear order, unless someone obtained the rank of deputy captain or above.
Otherwise, An Qiu Sheng would not be allowed to summon the dragon without permission. Without the dragon, the power of the dragon knight would be reduced by 90%. Out of boredom, An Qiu Sheng would either go to the Blocking Swordsman Camp or the Demon Swordsman Camp to eat and drink.
Without waiting for the order from Rodger, the current captain of the Demonic Swordsman, An Qiu Sheng jumped out of the tent with a roar, grabbed a war horse and rushed towards the location of the conflict.
Rodger smiled bitterly, everyone knew who An Qiu Sheng was, and even the regimental commander didn't bother to talk to him. No one could do anything about him. He could only send someone to deliver a message to the regimental commander, and immediately summon the whole battalion to gather and rush to the conflict location.
——Amy specially equipped all security forces with war horses.
When An Qiu Sheng arrived at the scene of the conflict, the atmosphere was already quite tense. The knights on both sides had already taken off their crossbows. The light black arrows reflected the light and pointed directly at the enemy's chest. The distance of more than 40 meters was just a shot against strong bows and hard crossbows.
In the blink of an eye, seeing the reinforcements of the small mercenary group arriving, the knights of the Western Emperor did not panic at all. Everyone tore open the scroll with one hand, and various defensive magics immediately opened to protect the horses and knights.
At the same time, the other hand pulled the trigger of the crossbow bolt, and the crossbow bolt shot out with a strange cry.
The knights of the small mercenary group quickly lowered their heads to dodge. Fortunately, the enemy could only use one hand to shoot arrows. Most of the crossbow arrows were shot high. Only three or four knights screamed and were shot off their horses.
Immediately, the knights of the Western Emperor roared, turned their horses and fled backward - not towards the inner fortress.
"Bastards, shoot these bastards! Go catch them!" An Qiu Sheng saw this scene, his eyes were red, and he yelled.
Only three or four scattered knights shot the arrows in their hands, and the other knights were carried behind their backs - the enemy knights had already released defensive magic scrolls. At this time, there was no point in shooting arrows. However, looking at the enemy, since
Instead of escaping towards the fortress, the light knights led their mounts to outflank the enemy from both sides.
The magic swordsmen also arrived and immediately followed the light knights closely.
An Qiu Sheng chased for two steps and felt that the situation was a little bad. Why did he feel that the enemy seemed to be ambushing him? The little boy subconsciously shrank his head and looked around to make sure that there was no spy who was photographed by the captain to monitor him, and secretly took it out from his sleeve.
The dragon flute pretended to wipe his nose with his head lowered and quickly stuffed it into his mouth. Sounds that humans could not hear immediately emanated in the sky.
The sound produced by the dragon flute is extremely penetrating. Experienced dragon knights can even use the dragon flute to blow different tones and command the dragon to do other things. After An Qiu Sheng ate the golden apple in the Sky City, he learned about controlling a
Of course, the little dragon flute is not a problem. Now, in addition to Da Qingshan, Chi Aotian and Lu'er, Yaoli have established a spiritual connection with the small mercenary group, An Qiu Sheng is much better at controlling the dragon than Ling Yun.
Seeing the changes in the misty clouds in the northern sky, An Qiu Sheng was determined, waving his long sword and shouting loudly, he joined the ranks of the bandits who were bound to pursue him.
Being able to sit in the position of captain and deputy captain of each battalion in the small mercenary group system is basically equivalent to the rank of captain or even higher in the regular army. The Demon Swordsman Battalion is also one of the four major groups that started from the small mercenary group. The current captain Rodger
Although he has just turned 19, he possesses the suspicion unique to a magician. Seeing these knights suddenly tearing apart magic scrolls in front of him, he has already begun to have doubts.
He had been following An Qiu Sheng, and of course he had seen An Qiu Sheng's little move just now - Amy had long known that An Qiu Sheng would not go to bed for three days, and specifically warned the cadres of the small mercenary group, especially the cadres of the small mercenary group.
It was the Sniper Swordsman Camp and the Demonic Swordsman Camp, the two traditional areas of An Qiu Sheng's influence. It was absolutely impossible for An Qiu Sheng to be fooled by An Qiu Sheng like Chang Qing did last time. Of course, An Qiu Sheng didn't know that the secret conversation was with him.
Rodger also guessed that Dark Autumn Sound was summoning the dragon. However, out of caution, the young magic swordsman did not expose it. Instead, he gave an order to the song leaders around him: "Let everyone use protective magic."
The scrolls are all ready."
A hundred meters ahead was a small hillside. The knight scouts of the small mercenary group at the front had just chased over the hillside. Everyone tightened their reins and were circling. On the other side of the hillside, densely packed enemy troops appeared.
!There were about one to two thousand people, and standing at the front were hundreds of archers, each holding a black longbow that was nearly a person tall. What made all the knights nervous was that the arrow tips on these bows were actually
Shining with colorful light. Most of the knights in the small mercenary group are from military families, and quite a few are children of nobles. Of course they know what kind of metal weapons can emit colorful light.
What makes the wandering knights of the small mercenary group even more chilling is the unit behind the black-armored archers!
Even in the four major ace knights of the empire, you can't find heavy infantry of the same weight! At first glance, each infantryman is at least 1.8 meters tall and covered in heavy armor from head to toe - real full-heavy armor, even the eyes.
The front is inlaid with a piece of bat-shaped black crystal, which is heavy armor and watery golden. The golden light reflected in the sun stings people's eyes! It looks like it is really armor made of gold.
The armor style is extremely retro. The helmet is in the shape of a typical animal head, and there are four shapes in total: tiger, wolf, pig, and bear; the shoulder armor is extremely exaggerated and rises at least 1.5 feet high, and the ends are all jagged; the breastplate is a whole plate
The armor only turned into more flexible chain armor when it reached the abdomen. However, through the convex shape of the chain armor, the noble knights of the small mercenary group immediately judged that there was a small piece of plate armor nailed to the back of the chain armor;
The chain armor is draped down to the knees, tightly blocking the upper part of the leg armor. The leg armor and boots have been integrated into one. Dozens of screws can be seen on the surface, and these screws secure each one.
The locks on the joints allow the heavy infantry to move freely.
No one knows how thick the heavy armor is, but all the knights can see clearly: every part of the heavy armor is engraved with grooves at least half a centimeter deep, and these grooves eventually form one after another.
The miniature magic array is inlaid with magic crystals the size of bird eggs. The magic crystals contain abundant magical power, and these powers are flowing along half a centimeter deep grooves, endlessly - in addition to magic
In addition to crystals, only pure gold products with a purity higher than 95% can allow magical energy to show the "flowing" nature.
Different from the traditional heavy infantry of the empire, these heavy infantry did not hold shields. They all held a 2.7-meter-long Juma spear in their right hand and a 1.5-meter-long serrated scimitar in their left hand.
The serrated scimitar was very popular during the Demon God War, and its destructive power was extremely huge, but it has long since disappeared from the standard weapons of all empires. There is only one reason for its elimination; there is no way for the imperial armies to select people to use this abnormal weapon.
For a powerful warrior, every time the serrated machete hits the target, it will inevitably produce a sawing and pulling action. For those with weak strength, not to mention using it for a long time, a single chop may cause the wrist to be dislocated.
Ambush! Such thoughts immediately came to the knight's head.
This answer is obviously correct! Moreover, the targets of the ambush are definitely not small fish and shrimps like the dozens of patrol knights in the small mercenary group.
The magic swordsmen of the small mercenary group were unaware of the situation on the other side. They had just rushed up the hillside with their mounts, when the Western Emperor's archer troops three hundred meters away suddenly started to move!
Three hundred meters! This distance is originally an out-of-reach distance for human archers. The best human longbows cannot shoot upwards beyond 200 meters, and they must rely on wind power.
All the black-armored archers released their bowstrings at the same time! The arrow feathers shot up into the air, and the colorful arrow tips drew faint traces of air in the air, like countless colorful flying reds. What chilled all the knights was that these arrow feathers
It didn’t make any sound when it broke through the air!
"Be careful! Bow attack!" The knight Qu Changlang looked at the trajectory of the arrow feathers and immediately understood that the target of the arrow feathers was the magic swordsmen behind the mountains. He jumped on the saddle in a hurry and rushed towards the magic swordsmen dozens of meters away.
They waved their hands in warning!
Riding on horseback and standing on the saddle are two completely different heights. In the former, the rain of arrows shot at the magic swordsman just passed over the head, while in the latter - two or three arrows passing by at low altitude hit the armor immediately.
A ball of colorful light mist burst out. In the light mist, the arrow rain effortlessly tore apart the armor on Ah Lang's body, and the back shoulder armor shot into the front shoulder and out!
Ah Lang couldn't stand upright and fell off the horse. The face of the young man who was gritting his teeth in pain became ferocious. He knew that he had made a mistake in his greed for success! And this mistake may lead to the death of one or two thousand people in front of him.
The mercenaries were all wiped out - the armor on Ah Lang was left by Lord Qu Jianhong. Even an elf archer would not be able to shoot through two layers of armor with one arrow at such a distance!
…
After 20,000 years, the magic warriors and magic swordsmen troops of the Magic Empire once again stepped onto the war stage in such a special way, and the first opponent they faced happened to be the whole system of magicians established by Amy.
