Chapter 110: Ice Barrier
"Boom ββββββ!!!!"
A red light directly hit the battlement on the lookout, and the moment the flames burst out, the two Byrne knights were burned to char before they could even make a sound!
The hard masonry and wall stacks were constantly rolling down, and in the smoke and dust, the small half of the lookout had been completely shattered in the flames.
Looking at the flames coming from the shop, the black-haired wizard who didn't have time to dodge was shocked, and directly grabbed Count Eckert next to him, snapping his fingers with his left hand.
High-level spells, the will of the rock.
A stone wall abruptly blocked the flames, barely sealing the blasted portion of the lookout.
"Bang ββ!"
Almost at the same time, the black-haired wizard opened his left hand to the wall, and the wave of air from the "Force Impact" swept away the flames and smoke in front of him, and the elven fleet in the distance reappeared directly in front of his vision.
Taking advantage of the fact that the flames were extinguished and the enemy attacked, the Byrne knights on the lookout began to retract one after another, and while giving orders downward, they gathered the corpses of the dead robes and replaced their posts, with very calm expressions.
"The Duke... Ahem, ahem... The enemy has now set its sights on this place, and I beg you to evacuate for the time being!" said Count Eckert, who was coughing violently in the huge smoke and dust:
"Otherwise, if you continue like this, it will only backfire - if you were still there when the tower fell, those mercenaries and city guards would mistakenly think that you were dead!"
"So please leave here now, inspect the walls and strongholds, and ensure the morale of the whole army, and as for the tower, please leave it to me!"
Eckert's expression was awe-inspiring.
The black-haired wizard was stunned.
"Eckert ......" Loren glanced at the knights next to him, looking at the Earl of Fort Fury, who had always been loyal to him, and deliberately lowered his voice: "Is it because of the death of Euron Eckert, you... Don't plan to live anymore?"
The Count of Fort Fury was shaken, struggling with a trembling expression, and bowed his head silently.
Loren sighed.
Really... The pain caused by the tragic death of a loved one is not so easy to let go of and forget.
Loren could only lightly press Count Eckert's shoulder: "I... There's no reason to ask you to be tough, but this battle isn't over yet. β
"Tris Eckert, Lord of the Castle of Fury, you are the role model for the Knights of Byrne, the idol of half of my knights, and you must set an example for them. β
"Even if you die, before you die... Witness my victory!"
Ecket, who looked pained, slowly lifted him, looked at the black-haired wizard's burning eyes, and nodded almost with all his strength.
"Yes!"
The black-haired wizard slightly hooked the corners of his mouth: "Good, there are still a few minutes until the next attack of the enemy, take this opportunity to prepare the trebuchets of the ancient castle and the ring fortress, it's time to start fighting back......"
"Duke!" suddenly came the cry of a Byrne knight beside him:
"Enemy ships are attacking ββ!"
What the?!
The stunned black-haired wizard jerked his head up and stared at the "pillar of light" that had risen again.
This time it's even faster than just now!
But why did it just ......
In an instant, Loren, whose eyes lit up, immediately understood the other side's intentions.
That's right, just like "teaching" Chakar and his centaur tribe in Thousand Hordes, first deliberately showing weakness to the enemy and then catching the other side off guard.
In this way, the enemy who miscalculates the interval every time does not know when to defend and when to prepare to return fire, and between long and short intervals, he can inflict huge casualties!
This enemy... It's hard to wrap around.
..............................
"Huge casualties? no... Lord Alexandra, you are mistaken. β
Looking at the chief adjutant of the Overseer with a righteous and awe-inspiring face, and faintly admired him, the elven prince Rhodria couldn't cry or laugh, and waved his hand again and again: "I am a samurai, not as insidious and cunning as you described. β
"On the battlefield, doing everything possible to defeat the enemy is the way of honor for a samurai - wisdom is also part of strength. Alexandra shook her head, the blonde-haired, golden-eyed elven warrior who disagreed with her prince:
"So, what exactly are you doing this for?"
"Purpose...... The little prince blew the bangs on his forehead and smiled a little distressedly: "Probably, it's just because it's so funny, right?"
The elven warrior looked surprised: "Interesting?"
"That's right, it's funny β it's a lot of fun to surprise people, to be surprised and to react to each other. The little prince smiled and stared at her with bright eyes:
"Interesting thing... It can bring joy and joy and refresh me. β
"And for me now, watching the enemy on the opposite side panic under our 'launcher', the appearance of the six gods without the master, can bring me the most interesting surprise!"
"At this point, Lori understands me best... The elves who have the blood of the Zad family in their veins are born with this kind of character. While smiling, the little prince glanced at the chief samurai of the Imperial Court, who was always quiet like a doll.
There was also a figure that was supposed to be there, but didn't appear.
"What about Lord Eugen, the Overseer, why isn't he here?"
"Master Eugen, he... I'm still not used to the boat, so I've been in my room. The elven warrior had no choice but to defend her superior:
"He said that if you are ready to attack, or give the order to lurk and assassinate, you can always be on your orders!"
"Well, that's a pity. β
The elven prince sighed and smiled disappreciatively: "Order, let those twenty warships not have any stop, and according to the current frequency, they will continue to bombard the enemy's line until late at night." β
"Or... Otherwise, it will be early in the morning, and we should have plenty of logistics reserves anyway. β
"Yes, Your Highness!"
The elven warrior who was in charge of the order on the side hurriedly knelt down on one knee, but raised his head in great embarrassment: "But... The wizards in charge of the transmitter have spread the word that the current frequency is very depleting to the transmitter, and that it may be ...... if it lasts all night."
"What did you say?"
The smiling little prince suddenly interrupted the samurai's words, and his eyes narrowed into the shape of a crescent moon:
"I didn't hear you clearly, can you say it again?"
Alexandra frowned slightly.
Lori, who had always been silent on the side, also raised her head.
The elven warrior who raised his head suddenly was already in a cold sweat, and the corners of his mouth twitched a few times:
"It's... Yes, obey!"
As the words fell, the elven warrior left the deck of the flagship like a wind, not knowing whether to be loyal or rushing to flee for his life.
The little prince, who had re-raised his binoculars, nodded contentedly.
Five minutes later, Rodria Azores saw twenty pillars of light rise into the air again, converging in the direction of the tower.
"Boom ββββββββ!!!!"
The flames burst and the thunder roared.
But the little prince's pupils shrank suddenly.
Well?!
He wasn't the only one, all the elven warriors on the flagship deckβnot counting the invisible Loriβwidened their eyes in amazement.
The flames converging towards the tower exploded in mid-air at the moment when they were about to hit!
Ebolden's walls, fortresses, towers... Unscathed!
"It's... Why ......" muttered to himself with a stunned face.
All the "pillars of light" burst a moment before they touched the walls of Ebolden, as if they had hit an invisible wall in the air.
In addition to the elves on the battleship, even the Ebolden defenders on the side of the city wall were all stunned, watching in disbelief as they fell from above their heads, but there was no spark that hurt them.
"The Ice Barrier is the Ice Barrier of the Wizards of the Empire!"
The sharp-eyed Chief Adjutant of the Overseer, Alexandra noticed the moment the sparks exploded, a flash of pale blue light, and immediately recalled a scene in the Heavenly Dome Palace.
"Ice barrier?"
"That's right, this is a defense designed by the wizards of the empire specifically against 'magical power', and all existences with magical power or the way of the warrior will be divided and disintegrated by it!"
Looking at the little prince's confused expression, the elven warrior immediately explained: "But in the intelligence, this should be a defense measure exclusive to the Imperial Palace, why did it appear in Ebolden?!"
..........................................
"Heavenly Dome Palace?That's right, the Ice Barrier is the work of Master Albert, the royal wizard advisor, and it was supposed to exist only in the imperial capital of Golovin - after all, the wizard who can inspire the barrier is the only one in the Empire. β
"But... What kind of place is this?"
At the top of the Nine-Pointed Star Wizard Tower, facing the surprised and delighted Isaac Grantham, Corona raised his eyebrows, revealing a cunning that did not belong to the old man:
"This is Ebolden, the city of wizards - there is no place in the Empire that compares to the number and intelligence of wizards!"
"After communicating with Master Albert again, I have obtained all the details of the Ice Barrier from his hands, and while none of us can achieve his ability to command the Void without opening the Valve, it can be done with orderly cooperation. β
"Not to mention the Void Remnant of Eberden, which can almost be called the first in the entire empire - various experiments and countless facilities that rely on the power of the Void have accumulated a huge trace of the Void Remnant. β
"It's certainly impossible to envelop the whole city in such a huge number, but if it's just to defend one side... More than enough. β
"Of course, this is also thanks to the fact that almost all of the weapons of the Azorean elves are related to the power of the Void, which is why the ice barrier can be effective, otherwise it ......"
Isaac didn't have time to listen to the old man's rambling here, and his gaze was completely fixed on the "launcher" of the elven fleet opposite.
This weapon, which at first glance possesses the power of the void, has many similarities with the "Bright Light Sword" he envisioned - the biggest difference may be that the way it is fired is still the original "ballista" shape.
Corona smiled helplessly and sighed softly, looking at Isaac's side face very dotingly.
Freswalk, is this your chosen heir?
The intellect of the gift, the memory that even the evil god has to sigh at, and the degree of cognition of the power of the void... If it weren't for Loren Turin first, Corona would never have given up Isaac Grantham to his old friend Freiswalker.
If Loren Turin is the one who can change the status of wizards, and Ain Rand is the key to the revival of the Dragon Kingdom, then Isaac Grantham is the one who will change the whole world, and even the meaning of the word "wizard".
Allowing them to shine in this era is the key to the future of wizards......
"I have a question!"
Isaac suddenly spoke, frowning and looking at Corona: "The principle of the Ice Barrier is that the Void Residue is strong enough to contain any Void Power that is not strong enough... Right?"
"That's right, it's a very simple principle, not a particularly complex technology. Corona bowed slightly: "After all, the simpler it is, the more practical it is... Too complex a theory to be applied to war. β
"In other words, as long as the power of the Void Power accumulation is strong enough, it can easily break through the blockade of the Ice Barrier, and even destroy the entire barrier, right?!"
Isaac asked anxiously.
Corona's expression finally became heavy: "What exactly do you want to say?"
"I'd say I'm working on a weapon similar to the long ears on the other side, so I can get a rough idea of how this thing works - it's probably using some kind of device that activates the power of the Void to attach the power of the void to the ballista's ammunition. β
Isaac took a deep breath and his eyes widened, "So if... If the opponent's device is strong enough, plus a few wizards of the same level......"
"The power of that large ballista can go up to the next level!"
Corona's expression froze.
"Boom ββββββββ!!!!"
A loud thunderous sound came from the direction of the city wall, and the moment the flames exploded, a large pale blue crack appeared in the sky.
It's like flat glass that has been smashed.
In the distance above the sea horizon, pillars of meteor-like light were still mercilessly attacking the city wallsβand instead of the scattered projectiles they had before, they had turned to aim all their firepower at one point and concentrate the bombardment
Apparently, the enemy on the opposite side also found the best way to target such defenses.
Corona took a deep breath and looked back sharply at the entourage behind him: "Inform all wizards above the mentor level above and below the wizard tower to get ready to go to the battlefield." β
"Mobilize all resources to build and strengthen the ice barrier in the direction of the port, all wizards who specialize in occult science, regardless of age, must join the battle, and the apprentices in the rear line must go to the baggage and projection troops to provide medical and alchemical support. β
"From now on, only a few older and too young apprentices are allowed to stay in the Wizard's Tower, and everyone must rush to the front. β
"The time has come to live and die!"
"We have to defend our own city!"
