Day 2.

From dawn onwards, the siege began again.

Thousands of people gathered in front of Lokol Castle, and the soldiers in the front row held square shields and carried simple but thick planks on their heads, slowly approaching the castle gate step by step. Behind them were militiamen dressed in light leather armor and armed with spears and bows and arrows.

As for the personal guards belonging to Lord Truss, they remained in front of the camp and did not move. They were all heavily armored hoplites, armed with heavy oak shields, and armed with heavy weapons such as flails, broadswords, and maces.

From afar, it looks like a horde of terrifying killing machines wrapped in heavy steel!

Their number is not large, just over 300 people.

But these more than 300 heavily armored warriors are the elite troops that Lord Truss has worked hard to build after squeezing out all the resources in the territory and spending ten years to build. In the small wars launched with the surrounding lords, Truss relied on this invincible steel chariot to bulldoze three or four baronies and break into a prestigious reputation.

However, considering that there are many wizard apprentices on Lokol Castle today, in order to avoid damage to the elite troops, Viscount Truss can only send those armed militias and mercenaries who are cooperating first, in order to use them to consume the magic power of the other apprentice first.

Soon, the battle began when the enemy entered within 50 meters of the front of the city wall!

Dense locust arrows rained down from the walls, mixed with numerous rockets. Although there is a movable roof to block the rain of arrows, there are still people who are constantly falling from arrows in the gaps of thick wooden planks. Clusters of flames jumped on the planks, crackling the dry wood as it burned.

Eventually, the advancing siege force was sniped by the defender's Wizard Apprentice.

Three witchcraft fireballs dragging billowing black smoke and two pale green acid balls flew down the walls in a long arc, landing at the vanguard of the besieging forces.

The sudden burst of sorcery fireballs immediately enveloped the area within a radius of 10 meters, and all the attackers in the area instantly turned into burning men, lost their weapons, and ran around the team in a daze.

The area where the acid ball fell exploded with a circle of green acid mist visibly to the naked eye, and all the soldiers who were contaminated by the acid mist let out a wolf-like howl. The exposed flesh of an acid-drenched human warrior quickly melted away with a strange sound, and in the blink of an eye, it became a scattered pile of charred bones.

More warriors were just a little acid splashed on their leather armor and clothes. However, such an attack, as long as the acid-contaminated part is removed in time, the damage to the human body is far less deadly than that of the sorcery fireball.

In the face of a terrifying sorcery attack, the warriors in the advancing queue became hesitant and slower to advance.

The army commander who was overseeing the formation in the rear roared loudly.

At his urging, the warriors with only rudimentary armor shouted in unison, once again speeding up their advance.

When the besieging force had advanced another twenty paces, a second wave of witchcraft attacks came.

However, almost at the same time as the second wave of attacks, five huge fireballs suddenly rose from the advancing team, flying in unison to somewhere on the city wall.

There was witchcraft there just now!

Somewhere on the city walls.

A high-ranking apprentice of the Sarubo family had just dropped a sorcery fireball when he saw five menacing sorcery fireballs flying towards him with their long tails.

"Come and protect me!"

The senior apprentice quickly dodged backwards, desperately blessed himself with defensive sorcery. Around him, five or six castle guards with large shields in their hands quickly blocked the apprentice behind him.

Knock knock knock......

The five sorcery fireballs that exploded almost in no particular order showed the fury of the elemental flames, and the terrifying damage formed by the energy stacking was simply not something that a mere metal shield could defend against.

The furious and ferocious ring of flames burst across the city walls, instantly reducing everything within ten meters to shreds, then scorching to ashes as it tossed outward.

The seven castle guards who stood in front of the senior apprentice died instantly, and even their bodies were torn apart by the explosion. In the area shrouded in the witchcraft fireball, only the high-level apprentice escaped with a charred face.

The senior apprentice, who was lucky enough to escape his life, quickly hid in the crowd, and at the same time took out the hemostatic ointment and healing potion from his arms, and quickly treated himself.

Bastards, these apprentices of the Micain family are playing yin!

The apprentice of the Sarubo family on the city wall immediately became furious, and the witchcraft fireballs were immediately thrown towards the other party's hidden area like no money. And the other party did not show weakness, propping up the colorful defensive witchcraft, dodging and quickly returning fire.

For a moment, there were bursting witchcraft fireballs everywhere above and below the city walls!

Grim stood silently in a luxurious bedroom on the third floor of the castle, lifted the corner of the curtain and looked at the battlefield in front of him, and couldn't help frowning slightly.

Somewhat unexpected!

Not unexpectedly strong, but unexpectedly weak!

I have just experienced the bloody wind of the plane war, and at this moment, when I returned to the wizarding world and experienced the family war here, I only felt that neither the intensity of the war nor the power of witchcraft could be compared to the bloody and fierce plane war.

However, more gaps seem to be reflected in the determination of the will to fight!

On the plane battlefield, either you die or I die. Once the battle is lost, in addition to his own death, even the world in which he lives day and night will become a secondary plane for others to indulge in at will. Therefore, the natives of the plane are extremely brave in fighting, and they can be called endless.

But the battlefield in front of him is soft and loose, like a playhouse.

The soldiers on both sides involved in the battle may know that they and others are by no means the protagonists of the battlefield, so they show more than cautious and lack of progress. There were more than 1,500 people on and off the city wall, but the battle was the fiercest, and it was the ten wizard apprentices who caused the most casualties.

Since the beginning of the war, most of the 100 or so people killed in battle have been accidentally injured by the wizard apprentices when they attacked each other! The soldiers who actually fell under the bows and crossbows were less than 30% of the total number of casualties.

"Boring game!" Grim casually lowered the curtain and muttered dissatisfied.

Sitting back at the wooden table, Grim continued to play with the heart core of the Tier 2 Molten Core Giant, but the chip in his mind was processing the large amount of data in the database at high speed.

The rune knowledge he had obtained from the drawing room of the Demon Forge Camp in the Knight Kingdom was undoubtedly comprehensive and detailed. With it, Grim was also able to get a glimpse of some of the deeper mysteries of energy fusion.

It's just that those runes are all knowledge from different planes, and if you want to transplant them to the wizarding world for use, you still need to continue to explore and explore. So as soon as he returned to the wizarding world, Grim was frantically calculating and estimating almost day and night.

In addition to the 173 special runes obtained from the Knight Plane, 122 general base runes and 23 mutant runes were removed, and the remaining 28 runes were brand new runes that had never been seen in the wizarding world. Therefore, if Grim wants to use these rune knowledge in the wizarding world, he can only explore little by little to find out the possible mutations and effects of these 28 new runes in the wizarding world.

Therefore, these days, his mind is full of strange runes flying in the sky. With the high-speed and efficient operation of the chip, every time a new rune is parsed, Grim needs to constantly use and verify it at all levels and angles to determine whether the newly calculated rune can replace those otherworldly runes.

And this is undoubtedly extremely time-consuming and energy-consuming!

After returning to the wizarding world from the Atlas, Grimm has already met with Kirby, a goblin.

Grim gave Kirby the most of the useless resources he had captured to operate, and he also took back the Elemental Crystal Nuclei he had collected during this time from Kirby. Among the 98 elemental crystal nuclei, only 56 are suitable for transforming into magic golems, of which 34 are at the quasi-witch level and 21 are at the advanced level. What made Grim happiest was that there was also a highly poisonous wizard-level heart core among them.

Grim's golem legion can be said to be completely depleted on the battlefield of the Alternate Plane and urgently needs to be replenished. At present, he has no other available demon golems at hand except for the Flame Lord, which will undoubtedly reduce his combat power by more than three percent.

However, the crisis of the Sarubo family forced him to run around, and he had no chance to calm down and replenish his demon puppet army. This undoubtedly made him feel more irritable.

Before leaving this time, Grim used his authority to exchange for a wizard-level meditation spell at the Wizard's Tower in Ferdinand. And this alone cost him 20,000 magic crystals and 7 family contributions. But this time, he worked desperately in the heterotopic plane, and he only got 100,000 magic crystals and 20 family contributions.

However, judging from the effect of meditation, it is worth the value.

The spiritual power that was untouched before has finally changed somewhat. This is undoubtedly a great encouragement for him. As long as you persist day after day, there is a possibility of increasing your mental power to 20 points!

And reaching 20 points of spiritual power is also one of the basic conditions for advancing to a second-tier wizard.

According to the chip's estimates, without the assistance of any external force, relying on daily meditation alone, Grim wants to increase his spiritual power from the current 6 or 3 to 20, and the shortest time will take 171 years. And this is the effect that the chip has achieved after the maximum optimization of meditation.

And those ordinary wizards who have no resources and no knowledge have to be busy with the daily life of witchcraft, and they have to go around collecting resources and knowledge. If they want to reach the limit of 20 points of spiritual power with meditation, I am afraid that it will take at least 300 years or more.

Like the Anderson wizard that Grimm is familiar with, he has been promoted for two or three hundred years, but his spiritual power is only 9 points, which is too far away from the limit of 20 points. This may be the biggest reason why he took the risk and wanted to rush with the help of the blood sacrifice ritual!

If he doesn't do this, with the strength of Anderson Wizard, he will participate in the plane war, and he will definitely be the fastest group of people to die!

Just as Grim couldn't stop reaching out and swiping lightly, repeatedly outlining a strange green rune in the void, footsteps outside the bedroom door sounded softly, and the voice of the maid followed.

"Lord Grimm, Lord Kogan, please go!"

"Is the war about to begin?"

"Yes! Mistress Kogan has you ready!"

"Got it!"

Grim waved away the unstable newly-created rune and looked down at his equipment. When he was sure that everything was ready, he opened the door and strode out.
