Chapter 158: The War
In the hall of Fordshire, Gullay paced back and forth with an anxious face, his face so gloomy that it almost dripped.
The atmosphere in the council hall was extremely oppressive, and everyone held their breath.
"Master Gulai, everyone is almost here, what the hell is the matter, can you say it?" Duke Bruce asked in a hurry. It's not that he's in a hurry, it's just that he looked at Gu Lai's solemn face and didn't say anything, which really made him uncomfortable.
"Well, I was going to wait for Lord Ron to come. Gu Lai glanced at the door again, and saw that the door was always closed, and finally could only sigh and say, "There is something wrong with the enchantment circle. ”
"What do you mean? Quray, you should make it clear what the barrier is wrong. ”
It wasn't the nobles who were in the council hall today, but the real backbone of the war, including the other academy teachers and a few teachers from the Cologne Academy who were willing to stay and help.
After all, the skin will not be attached to the hair. Although the Academy is a transcendent existence outside the Empire, the true meaning of the existence of the Coren Academy is actually the passage seal guarding the Demon Realm. And the collusion between the Eastern Regions and the Demon Realm is already a sure thing, and Cologne Academy naturally can't ignore it.
Cooler sent both Macbeth and Saqir out, and it was Sachir with a goatee who had just spoken.
After working together for a period of time, Gu Lai also got to know this old man with a goatee who was a little angry, but very bold, and explained: "Teacher Saqir, you are a rune master, and you should also know that the enchantment shrouded in Ford County and the surrounding area is divided into two layers, the first layer is the main barrier on the periphery, except for the outer main enchantment of Ford County, which has defensive power, the outer enchantment of other surrounding counties is defenseless, and they are only responsible for identifying friend and foe. The second level of enchantment is the independent enchantment on the outside of each county. Not long ago, the independent barrier of Philo County was shattered. It actually caused the entire main barrier to be unstable. ”
Gulaiben wanted to explain the current situation in one breath, but when he saw that the others looked ignorant, he still deliberately paused when he heard the misty expressions. Of all the people, Sachir was the only one who could understand Qulai's words, and when Gulai paused, he interjected and asked, "Isn't it a matter of time before the barrier in Philo County will be broken?" ”
Gulai shook his head lightly and said, "What I said about the problem is not that the Phiro County's enchantment is broken, but that the independent enchantment of Philo County is broken and should not affect the stability of the main enchantment, so I suspect that someone has quietly changed the magic circle." While it may not be possible to completely change the ownership of the circle, this slight change will throw the entire circle out of balance, and if war breaks out, the solidity of the barrier will definitely bear the brunt of the test. However, because of that small change, the overall stability of the enchantment will be affected by the independent enchantments of other cities. In other words, if the enchantments of the four surrounding cities were all shattered, I am afraid that the enchantments of Fordshire would be useless, and they would not be able to defend at all. ”
Gu Lai said for a long time, and even those who didn't understand the way of runes could understand the last sentence, and they suddenly showed shocked expressions.
"How is this possible, not to mention if anyone can sneak into the city and enter the center of the enchantment to make changes. Even if there is, this enchantment is so complex and sophisticated, the person who can change the magic circle is absolutely unique, even if there is no holy level, the master level, a master craftsman level will definitely not be able to run. Such a person is already very rare, and he can be willing to do such a thing that will lose his head at any time, which rune master would be willing? What's more, where is there a rune master in the Holy Franc Empire who surpasses the grandmaster level, and Master Howard is already the person who stands at the top of the rune master in the Holy Franc Empire. Saqir said as he blew his beard and stood up, apparently not believing in such a thing at all.
Gu Lai spread his hands and said, "I don't want to believe it, but unfortunately, just now, I have already confirmed that someone has indeed done something to the barrier. The facts are there, even if I don't want to believe it, I can't help it, I don't want to say anything else, I'm afraid the situation is more serious than before, and we can't give up any of the remaining three independent enchantments, otherwise, Fordshire will be in danger. ”
Saqir couldn't speak for a while, and he knew why Qulai had only arranged for a few people to participate in this council. Because if such a thing spreads, the enemy only needs to destroy the enchantment circle of a few other cities, and finally can break through the defenses of Fordshire without much effort.
Listened to the words of the Quray. Everyone also looked at each other, they all didn't know what to do, there was a specialization in the art industry, although many of them were very broad, but when it came to proficient words, only Saqir was alone.
"Alas, it's a pity that Master Howard said that he had an epiphany and would have to retreat for a few days. I don't know what happened, I'm afraid he is the only one who can solve the current predicament now. Saqir said with a sigh.
Gurlay also had a wry smile on his face when he heard Saqir's words, others may not know, but he knows it very well. How did Howard have an epiphany, it was not because he saw the subtlety of this magic circle that Ron taught him, so he had a temporary feeling, which not only solved the doubts that had plagued him for many years, but also made his rune attainments go further, maybe he could take this opportunity to break through the grandmaster level rune master in one fell swoop.
It's not that Ghulay wants to underestimate Howard, it is undeniable that Howard does have a fairly high rune talent, but if he can remedy Ron's magic circle, he Ghulay must not believe it. So instead of pinning his hopes on Howard being able to break through to become a rune master to make up for the circle, he should now think about when Ron will be able to return.
"Oh no! Oh no! The Eastern Regions, the coalition forces from the Eastern Regions are coming. Just when everyone was still whispering, how could the harm of the enchantment be minimized to a certain extent, the voice of the scout's report instantly pushed everyone into the cold abyss.
"Calling so soon?" Bruce was the first to stand up, and an iron-blooded killing aura instantly dispersed.
I have to say that although they are not the only two of them in the empire, they are definitely not many, and they will not exceed the number of two.
And each of them has gone through hundreds of battles, large and small, to have such an achievement, namely
Even if they have already retreated, the killing aura on their bodies is definitely not comparable to those ordinary generals.
"I'm afraid it's because of the movement on the other side of Philo County that the Eastern Regions can't bear it after all, which is also reasonable. To be honest, their patience was good enough, and it took nearly half a month to camp outside, and the consumption of grain and grass alone was an astronomical amount. Girant's temperament was not as strong as Bruce's, but the burning intent in his eyes still revealed the strong fighting intent in his heart.
"Hmph, it's time for them to see how good we are, even if we're so old that we've lost all our teeth, but a tiger is a tiger after all, and it's not for them kittens to provoke. Bruce said with a smile of intense confidence on his face.
Girant and Bruce glanced at each other, and then Girant looked at the academy teachers present and said: "Please also ask you to be stationed in Fordshire, I know your duties, and when it is not necessary, it is mainly to preserve your strength, I will definitely not embarrass you, I still have a clear distinction between the more important and which is more important." ”
Although Gilant and Bruce didn't know about the sealing of the Demon Realm Passage inside the Coren Academy, they were so smart that they could vaguely guess something, and the Demon Realm was so conspiracy and calculation before, it must have something that the Demon Realm wanted very much inside the Academy. The academy is willing to help, and it is also based on the fact that the Eastern Regions are likely to have colluded with the Demon Realm, and this war was also deliberately provoked by the Demon Realm. The entrance of the academy is in Ford County, and the so-called cold lips and teeth, it is absolutely impossible for the academy to watch Ford County be destroyed like this, so it is naturally going to take action. But after all, they still have the safety of the academy on their shoulders, so to a certain extent, Gillant can only say this, hoping that the teachers of many colleges can help them at a critical moment.
Macbeth coughed lightly and said, "Duke Gilant, don't worry, leave this matter to a few of us old guys." Although we have our own responsibilities, if the Eastern Regions are all at the door of our academy, where can we stand idly by. Macbeth naturally understood Gillant's concerns, and stood up and made a statement at the moment, which can be regarded as reassuring Gironte.
Gilant laughed, put down a big stone in his heart, and said, "Okay, I'm relieved to have Vice Dean Macbeth's words." ”
After saying that, Girant was not polite, and immediately walked out with Duke Bruce.
In a short time, the two men led 50,000 soldiers and horses of Fordshire towards Barrofishire County. The army that Ron had scavenged from the nobles was not taken away, but remained outside the city of Fordshire.
Not long after Bruce and Gilant left, Bol and Jarvis hurried back to Fordshire. As soon as he entered the city, he met Ivy and Liya, who were anxiously waiting at the city gate.
But when they found out that only Pol and Jarvis were back, their hearts suddenly chuckled, and an ominous premonition instantly took over their hearts, making Leah's hand holding Ivy tremble.
Ivy could feel Liya's mood, and she couldn't worry about it. Before Pol could get closer, the two of them walked up quickly and asked in unison, "What about Ron?"
