Chapter 8: Breaking the Wall (Part II)
When the huge golden palm appeared on the edge of the city wall, Alexander couldn't help but fall into astonishment.
"Bigbay...... Vajra Palm?!" Alexander almost muttered. As a prince of the Empire, Alexander was taught both martial arts and magic at a young age. Ralvin didn't do this to train his child to be an all-rounder of the dual cultivation of magic and martial arts, he just wanted his child to have the most comprehensive access to the power of this world, so as to choose the most suitable way for his own growth.
As a result, Joffrey became a high-ranking mage, and Alexander, became a high-ranking paladin.
But it is precisely because of his childhood education that although Alexander is not proficient in magic, he can still use simple zero-level tricks and some first-level spells. Not only that, but he also had a general understanding of the overall structure of the wizarding world during the foundation laying stage, at least most of the representative high-level spells.
According to Alexander's cognition, the spell currently being cast by Anne Lot is a very representative eighth-level plastic energy spell: Bigbay Vajra Palm.
The series of spells of the Bigbay Talisman Palm, the Bigbay Vajra Palm, and the Bigbay Smashing Palm were all created thousands of years ago by a legendary mage named Bigbai. Judging from the structure of the magic circle, there is not much difference between these spells except for their power.
In terms of power, the Bigbay Vajra Palm is a little stronger than the Bigbay Talisman Palm, and it is slightly inferior to the Bigbay Smashing Palm. This eighth-level spell is nothing more remarkable than its immense strength.
But Alexander also knew that even the magic force field formed by the eighth-level spell was not enough to destroy the ruins of the ruined city wall. At least not enough for the walls to form a gate large enough for the northern armies to enter. What exactly does Anne Lot want to do?
And then, a scene that Alexander will never forget, appears. Because Annelot used one hand to maintain the stability of the circle in front of her, she freed her right hand and began to chant and cast spells again!
"Multi-...... Spellcasting?!" A cold sweat broke out from Alexander's forehead, it was a rather difficult supermagic skill to master, and as far as he knew, no other mage in the Hawke Empire had mastered this skill except for Archmage Mel.
As we know, there are many spells that can't be cast directly after chanting a spell. After the magic is formed, the mage needs to continue to guide to maintain and control the power of the magic. And the Bigbai Vajra Palm is such a spell.
Normally, a mage cannot chant another spell while channeling it. Because at this time, most of his attention was focused on guidance, and the spiritual domain also needed to release spiritual power to control the magic power.
However, there is a super magic skill that can break this rule, and this super magic skill is multiple spellcasting. Strictly speaking, there is a difference between multi-casting and super-magical techniques such as instant spells and silent spells. Because it doesn't cost anything to use, for example, an instantaneous spell will cost four times as much mana.
There is no such problem with multicasting, which is more appropriate than a supermagic technique. It tests the caster's ability to use both of his heart and mind, as well as his ability to control mental power more flexibly and delicately.
But these two simple ones have discouraged countless spellcasters, because these two are too difficult......
But Anne Lot did, and she didn't know when she had mastered this spell-casting technique. She was even able to use this spellcasting technique to cast two eighth-level high-level spells at the same time!
Annelot's second spell is Sun Flame Burst, which is technically described as an advanced and advanced version of the Super Fireball Technique, and its blazing brilliance can also blind enemies.
Alexander narrowed his eyes, he still didn't understand Annelot's intentions, even if it was a Bigbai Vajra palm plus a burst of sunshine, what could it be? With this kind of power alone, he might be able to blow the city wall to shreds a little more, but it would open up the way? I'm afraid it is still not enough!
But at this time, the white powder wafting from the city walls attracted Alexander's attention. Those things weren't spells, they were something very common in nature - frost.
Because of the distance, Alexander did not feel the change in temperature in the area of the city walls. And if anyone could get close there, he would find that that section of the wall had been completely frozen by Annelot's cryogenic realm. Because of the large range of the ability to be used this time, the temperature in the entire city wall area is not particularly low, only about minus 20 degrees Celsius.
But for Anne Lot, that's enough.
"Alternating hot and cold to weaken the material of the walls? Alexander was not a fool, and he understood Annelot's intentions, but then he said to himself, "But even so, I'm afraid it's not enough!"
And then, the most surprising thing happened to Alexander.
A huge fireball with a diameter of more than two meters slowly flew in front of the city wall ten meters above the ground, and its core began to gradually turn a dazzling golden red, and the increasingly violent buzzing sound also proved that the fireball had reached the edge of the explosion.
Immediately after, a giant palm fell from the sky. But the Bigbai Vajra Palm, which was bigger than a fireball, did not bombard the city walls. It slowly retracted under Annelot's control, and the fireball hit the wall like a straight tube.
We all know that both the heat energy from an explosion and the rapidly expanding air require space to carry it. Once the space is insufficient, the explosion will break through to the weakest point of the binding space to open up more space.
And now the five directions of the fireball, up, down, east, west, and north, are all bound by the incomparably hard Brigbai Vajra palm. In which direction would the power of the explosion be unleashed? No doubt only towards the southern walls, which had become fragile under the ravages of the cannons and the cryogenic realm of Annelot.
When the dazzling light was blocked by Bigbai's Vajra palm, many Stoke soldiers breathed a sigh of relief. They even thought to themselves that this idiot mage would actually block the light of their spells, wouldn't this be reducing the pressure on them to fight?
But a few seconds later, a loud bang that almost broke the eardrums of ordinary people exploded. This time, the flames did not rise into the sky like before, but sprayed horizontally towards the south in a horizontal direction, looking like a magic cannon at the moment of fire.
But this is not a magic cannon, and the energy contained in the "cannon" created by Anelot with two eighth-level spells is far from being comparable to a single shell of a magic cannon. The energy contained in the eighth-level spell is actually enough to destroy the walls of the Costa Fortress, but the only problem is the efficiency of energy utilization.
Anne Lot, on the other hand, used another spell to solve the problem perfectly. As a result, all the warriors saw a huge hole appear in the walls of the Costa Fortress, which in their eyes were almost impregnable. A hollow big enough for them to swagger into!
Anne Lot's cryogenic realm was used again, but this time she gently controlled the power, only to cool down the walls that had become hot again due to the instantaneous explosion. Otherwise, the terrible heat alone would have made the soldiers who braved the charge drink a pot.
After about half a minute, Annelot unleashed another flash blast. Seeing this signal, Commander Oliver immediately made a decision, he raised his sword to the Costa Fortress: "That's our fortress! Let's take him back from the Southerners!"
When the Hawke Empire's troops poured into the Costa fortress from another entrance, Alexander clearly felt that the pressure on his side was much less. He wiped the blood from his face and continued to fight.
Lisana looked at Alexander, who was still fighting in the distance, and her mind couldn't help but be in chaos.
At this time, she finally understood how weak and powerless she was: she was not as strong as Alexander, and such a personal guard was not so much protecting her as taking care of Alexander's daily life, which was not really important to Alexander, and she did not have the ability to command the army, and she could not even command a small commando team. In the end, if Alexander hadn't prepared enough, and Annelot was strong enough, she would probably have made a big mistake today.
It's so powerless again, just like when I was in my hometown......
Lisanna suddenly realized how ridiculous she had been all these years. She's just a fisherman's daughter, and even if she gets the guidance of the Imperial Sword Spirit by chance, she's still a rude woman who can only fight and slash.
And what was she thinking? She was thinking about being the wife of the prince of the Empire, she was thinking about being with the best and most illustrious prince of the Hawke Empire forever. He's so outstanding, so dazzling, and she's ...... She was just a fisherman's daughter, and she knew nothing but fighting, but even the only thing she could do was a far cry from Alexander's.
If the toad that wants to eat the meat of the swan is a joke, then Lisanna thinks that even the toad will laugh. Is...... It's ridiculous!
Realizing this, Lisanna also made up her mind, and after this battle, she would hand over her resignation to Alexander......
