Chapter 7: Breaking the Wall (I)

"You say...... What?" The expression on Alexander's face was like hell, what did she just say? Open another city gate? What does this mean?

"How many magic cannons are there in the army?" Annelot didn't answer Alexander, but asked lightly.

"This time, there are a total of twenty gates. Alexander was stunned for a moment, then explained with some sneer.

"Let the artillery stop firing casually and blow up the city walls. Annelot pointed to the wall over there: "I'm going to blow up there, they're going to hit there, just concentrate your fire!"

"But...... Miss Annelot. Alexander hesitated and said, "That's the wall, are you sure ......?"

"Sure. Anne Lot replied lightly: "Your Highness, you can pass the order." โ€

"......" Alexander looked at Annelot's confident appearance, and fell into hesitation for a moment.

Due to its extremely special location, the importance of the Costa Fortress is absolutely unquestionable. At the time of the construction of the fortress, the Stoke Empire had designed it to the highest defensive specifications. Aside from the disadvantage of not having a super-giant circle that interferes with space magic, the defense capabilities of Costa Fortress are absolutely superb. If nothing else, the city wall alone is tens of meters high, and even just looking at such a huge wall will make people lose the desire to destroy it.

And listening to what Anne Lot meant, she seems to want to use a few magic cannons and her own to destroy a section of the city wall?

From the point of view of reason and common sense, this matter seemed to Alexander as a fantasy. But if you take intuition as a starting point, Alexander felt that this was not absolutely impossible.

Because, this woman is Anne Lot, a young girl who is known as a miracle among miracles. Judging from the information Alexander has gathered, it seems that there is nothing that Anne Lot cannot do. After all, even the Red Flame Sorcerer Saron died at her hands, and even Alexander would wonder if there was anything in this world that she couldn't do.

Perhaps, but at least for now, as long as it was something that Anne Lot was sure of, there was never anything she couldn't do. And today, Annelot says she can destroy the walls......

"Should I trust her?" Alexander couldn't decide for a moment, if Annelot did it, then it would be needless to say, but if she couldn't...... Not only will a lot of magic cannon fire be wasted, but the speed at which forces are instilled inside the fortress will be significantly hindered. In other words, in the event of a defeat, it is likely to lead to the failure of this attack on the Costa fortress. Moreover, there is no doubt that the losses are huge!

What to choose?

"If you hesitate any longer, your commando team will be wiped out, don't talk about Lishana at that time, I'm afraid you will all be in danger, you can decide for yourself!" Annielot said and then ignored Alexander.

"......" Alexander looked at the Stoke army, which was still rushing like a tide, and finally gritted his teeth and made up his mind.

He took out a gem from his pocket, a magical gem that could convey a message. Although he joined the commando team, the commander-in-chief of the attack on the fortress of Costa still fell on Alexander. And this gem will be able to communicate its will to the command very clearly.

"You should understand that this matter must not tolerate the slightest child's play. Alexander gave a hint akin to a warning.

"If what I just said thinks is child's play, then you can continue to stick here. Anne Lot said lightly, anyway, if the situation is really wrong, she will take her group of students to use group teleportation and run away directly. If it weren't for Regner's confession, she wouldn't have bothered to go to such lengths to help Alexander! Do you think I, Anne Lot, really like trouble?

"......" Alexander, as the prince of the empire, was not very comfortable being choked on two sentences, but his upbringing over the years did not make him lose his temper. The second prince, after thinking about it, finally decided to listen to Annelot's advice.

He put the magic crystal to his lips and whispered a few words.

"Things are all arranged?" Anne Lott casually swung the brute force of a herd of cattle and the swiftness of a herd of leopards to help the commandos defend it, her tone sounding rather flat, and she didn't seem to be at all worried about Alexander's answer.

The reality is indeed as Annelot predicted, every warrior of the Golden Eagle Knights is as precious to Alexander as the flesh of his heart, and the warriors who dare to join the commando are the best of the knights, and every one of them killed will be a kind of torture for Alexander. Because these people are all brothers who have been with him day and night.

So, after hesitating for five minutes, Alexander finally agreed to Annelot's proposal. This woman is not a frivolous person with low eyes and high hands, conceited and arrogant, on the contrary, all her self-confidence, all her incredibleness is based on her even more incredible strength.

Therefore, Alexander would rather risk the failure of this attack than willingly take a gamble. Because he knew that his choice was 90% likely to be the right oneโ€”in Alexander's opinion, what Annelot had promised was at least 90% sure that it would be fulfilled. And this probability is enough for Alexander to gamble.

"Yes, if it is arranged, you will have command of those twenty magic cannons in ten minutes. Alexander calmly replied, this is also one of his merits, there are some things, once he has made a decision, then he will definitely not regret it. He's just going to focus on how to make the situation better.

"Very well, tell the artillerymen to blast at the place where the strong white light of the city wall shines. "Anne Lot's request was simple.

"It's just...... Is that all?" Alexander was even more confused when he heard the Frost Maiden say this......

"That's it, slam at one point, destroy part of the structure of the wall, and I'll take care of the rest. Three shots per cannon are sufficient. Annelot gave one last command, and with the power of her flying spell, she moved towards the part of the wall.

"This woman...... What exactly are you going to do...... "Alexander still couldn't figure it out, after all, the firepower of the magic cannon was quite limited, and it was absolutely impossible for this level of power to directly destroy the city wall.

The second prince of the empire somewhat absentmindedly cut down two Stoke Imperial soldiers, who were somewhat unaware of whether they were alive or dead, and then saw that part of the part of the city wall that Annelot had pointed to was illuminated by a strong white light.

It was a third-level spell flash burst. This spell once had a surprising effect against the Dark Elves in the Dark Regions, and today, it only serves to provide a conspicuous and definite target for the artillerymen who are somewhat unsure of their targets in the darkness.

The roar of the cannon rang out again after a few minutes of pause, but it was different from the previous indiscriminate fire that didn't even know if it could destroy the house. This time, the shots of the twenty magic cannons were all aimed in one direction, even one point.

Crimson fireballs flew like meteors piercing the sky towards the part of the city wall that Annelot had marked. A violent explosion followed, and the flames of the explosion illuminated that section of the fortress walls almost into daylight.

However, the effect of a single hit of the magic cannon is not obvious, and the stone used to build the Costa Fortress is quite hard and tough. Therefore, although the explosion caused by the bombardment of the magic cannon seemed to be violent, it did not cause much damage to the walls of the Costa Fortress.

And Annelot's flash burst spell lit up again, which was Annelot's response to the tentative blow of the magic cannon just now. When the flash burst came on again, it meant that Anne Lot was satisfied with the landing point of the first blow, and then the other artillerymen only had to fire according to the predetermined target point.

Twenty magic cannons fired in order, and the cannonballs flew towards the walls of Costa Fortress with long tails. If you look at it from a distance, some people will even think that there is a fire meteor shower in that sky.

An even more violent explosion reappeared, and the sky-high flames illuminated the night sky almost as if it were day.

Although he had seen the power of the magic cannon many times, Alexander was still a little surprised at the destructive power of this kind of thing that Annelot had improved as he looked at the earth-shattering explosion in the distance. He even began to wonder if the magic cannon alone would be able to blast through the walls of the Costa Fortress.

But Alexander clearly underestimated everything, whether it was the power of the magic cannon or the sturdiness of the walls of the Costa Fortress.

When the violent explosion subsided, Alexander was greeted by a section of ruins still burning. After Annelot's transformation, the magic cannon's circle can now also add a scorching effect to the released cannonballs, and these flames will not be extinguished until the magic energy is completely consumed.

But no matter how much the flames burned, the walls made of the finest stone would not be destroyed. Although the walls were full of cracks, Alexander knew that no one could break the walls through these cracks.

There are only two ways to do this, one is great strength, coupled with the ability to manipulate finely, as fine as the hands of hands.

The other is absolute power, the power that can destroy everything. And now, Alexander is curious about what exactly Anne Lot is going to do.

As Alexander pondered, the ice-blue shadow slowly rose into the air. Annelot looked at the walls, as if analyzing something. After a few minutes, the Frost Maiden sang her incantation.
