Chapter 128: The Legend Comes
After receiving the information, the Human Emperor Palace immediately began to liven up, and everyone from top to bottom eagerly awaited the return of the Human Emperor.
"Do you really need any support?"
In the monitoring hall, under a gray magic screen, Anjou frowned slightly and asked the blonde woman sitting in the main seat of the high platform.
"According to the information we have received and the situation monitored on the ground, the defense function of the Yawiluk Fortress has become extremely powerful after being re-improved by the Emperor, not only completely making up for the loopholes exposed by the previous attack by the orcs, but also building a legendary-level magic formation with the central castle as the core.
There is even a small amount of information that has not been confirmed for the time being, pointing out that the main force of the fortress, the Imperial Legion, has accepted the 'Demon Law', and its leader Gristone @ Wren is also ...... as a legendary mage of the earth system"
"No need is no need. β
Cold words cut off Anjou's words, and the fire demon slowly opened a pair of eyes, reaching out to pull out the catheter that was connected to his puppet's ear.
"Chongyang alone can solve everything, no matter what mess there is, it is impossible to stop the destroyer who was taught by me!"
The Fire Demon stood up, his words and eyes revealing an almost fanatical look, staring at the closed magic screen in midair, as if an artist was facing a masterpiece that he had spent his entire life drawing.
"But ......" Anjou saw the master's arrogant appearance, and the worry in her heart not only did not disappear, but became heavier.
She didn't know what had happened in the cultivation hall during this time, but she knew very well how terrifying the key tournament that she had observed through Amaterasu Hua was, not to mention that there was also a legendary mage in the earth system that claimed to be the most defensive.
The silver-haired saintess, who had been presiding over the affairs of the palace, made a rough assessment, ignoring the Holy Emperor, and only using the combat power of the Human Palace and the Phoenix guerrillas to forcibly take down that fortress...... It will not exceed 20%, and the death and casualty rate of your own side will at least exceed 50%.
Normally, the fortress shouldn't have been stormed at all, and the right thing to do was to try to lure the enemy out of the castle.
Thinking like this, she had to make another speech, hoping that the master in front of her, who had great expectations for her disciple, would calm down, but suddenly a voice sounded in her ears-
"As the master said, don't worry about me, Anjou. β
"Your Majesty?" Anjou was startled and quickly turned her head to look, only to see that the magic screen was still off.
How did the sound come from?
When the silver-haired saintess was suspicious, Chongyang's voice continued to sound low and gentle.
"I can deal with them on my own...... Or if I can't solve this battle on my own, I'm in trouble. β
"What does that mean?"
"That is to say, I have to test the results of my cultivation during this period by fighting independently. β
It was not the sound transmission system of the Human Palace, nor was it the spatial fluctuations, and the sound came to Anjou's ears as naturally as if he was speaking next to him...... She couldn't figure out what was going on.
Have no bottom.
Anjou listened to the words of the Holy Emperor, and when he realized that he could not detect the mystery hidden behind the words of the other party no matter what, he gradually developed a sense of awe for the unknown power.
β...... I see, just as His Majesty hopes. After locking the spatial coordinates, only His Majesty will be teleported over. β
"It's not teleportation, little girl. The fire demon on the side clasped his hands and muttered, "It's a release, you know, remember that moment, all of you, what you released at that moment will be brand new...... God. β
......
............
After receiving the Emperor's order to purge the Legion, the main force of the Yawiluk Fortress, the Imperial Legion, did not move, but the multi-party army forces attached to the Legion, which was equivalent to the local branch of the Legion, soon received specific orders to suppress and attack the guerrillas in each area.
Unlike the repression, which preceded the appearance of a formal decree, it was a truly organized and systematic push of the scattered guerrilla forces into a desperate situation.
It is undeniable that the guerrilla teams that naturally arise in order to survive under the invasion of the beasts are indeed a mixed rabble, and there are even many evil parties, gangsters, thieves, etc., who dominate one side through war.
But a large part of them are warriors who are really standing up against the orcs, protecting the people, or avenging the dead in the most difficult times.
Now that the war situation has tilted towards the human side, they who have made significant contributions to the fight against the orcs, and they deserve to be heroes, not flowers and praise, but butcher knives and suppression.
The death of the heroes made the people who had been protected by them angry, but in the face of the bloody sword of the proud emperor, the weak people could only swallow the blood and water, and realized the truth that only strength is the truth in this world.
In this way, the Emperor ** team returned to the territory that was once ruled by them, but was abandoned by them at a critical moment and suffered endless damage, and declared with the blood of the guerrillas that they were the masters of this country.
In a short period of time, many people were killed.
The living are hating, suffering, fleeing, and expecting......
"You're going to die a good death"
These were the last words of a female guerrilla fighter who had been publicly executed before her head was cut off. And the imperial ** official who supervised the execution didn't even bother to look at the dirty head more, and the corners of his mouth were sneering disapprenanently.
"Your Highness the Princess, the Wonder Knight?"
In the Yawiluk Fortress, when a table of officers gathered to play cards talked about this topic, some people scoffed.
"That's just a legend, the so-called princess has never shown her face, and the so-called magical fire mage is actually a dead man for a long time, but some guys are swaggering in their name. β
"I've heard from my cousin of the Royal Knights that the princess has long since died of illness, and the two rebel leaders...... Are they all ghosts?"
There was a laugh around the table, mixed with shouts of someone playing a card.
"You can't say that. "A certain officer who lost a handful deliberately sang the opposite.
"Didn't you say that the Phoenix Guerrilla had some strength, and once killed a legendary-level powerhouse of the Beast Clan? That's not something a ghost can do. β
"You believe this kind of nonsense, I also said that the two *sons who yesterday were virgins"
There was another burst of laughter, and everyone present, like many people in the Imperial Legion and even the Emperor, did not take the so-called traitorous leader seriously at all.
After defeating the beast army, the pride and complacency that the Emperor ** team regained had swelled to an unprecedented level.
"The guerrillas are a bunch of rioting untouchables, scum who don't know what to do, you know? When our commander received the will to eliminate these fellows, he didn't even bother to see the envoys, and then he didn't even look at them and threw them aside, which shows that ......"
Before the officer could finish speaking, the whole scene suddenly fell silent.
"This voice is ......"
Everyone froze in place as if the movie had pressed the pause button, and the officer's hand was raised in the air, his eyes slowly widening.
I only listened to the sudden and piercing siren sound from small to large, from slightly shaking people's eardrums to finally shaking everyone's minds, resounding through the world and deafening
"Enemy Attack ββββββ"
On the western wall of the fortress of Yaveluk, a magician struggling to escape from the flames roared with all his might, his face like black charcoal was full of distortion and terror, and in the next second, he was completely engulfed by the surging torrent of flames behind him
It was as if countless demons were howling in hell, and the surging eerie orange-red flames broke through from the west side of the outer walls of the first layer of the fortress
Once reinforced with special ground magic, the thick walls that have a considerable degree of resistance to all attribute energy are as if they were papier-mΓ’chΓ© and do not hinder the heat tide in the slightest
The guards on the walls were undoubtedly annihilated, and the countless ranks behind the walls collapsed and fled, and if you looked down from the sky at this time, you would see people fleeing as if they were fleeing a tsunami, abandoning their chariots and horses, pushing others, screaming in fear and screaming in terror......
"An enemy is coming from the west, and its massive spells have broken through the outer walls"
"How many, a few thousand, or ten thousand?"
"No...... There is only one ......"
"Alone?"
"No...... Wrong...... That guy...... That thing...... It can't be human."
In the command hall set up in the central castle, more than a dozen high-ranking officers wearing military robes with black backgrounds, cultivating to the level of the Holy Spirit, listened to the chaotic reports, shouts, panicked sounds, and panicked voices of their own teams sent by the sound transmission magic, and fell into an absurd dead silence.
If nothing else, it was just that the images of light and shadow transmitted from the outside monitoring magic at the same time were beyond the limits of their thinking.
"It's ...... Orcs?"
An old man spoke with difficulty, the wrinkles on his face tightening deeper than usual.
"Devil ......," the other muttered.
"A new type of humanoid demonic beast?" another person tried to guess calmly.
Everyone froze, froze, staring at the light and shadow on the suspended magic screen, until the entire light curtain suddenly extinguished after the flames enveloped the sky.
"The outer walls were destroyed, and the first line of defense ...... Unable to organize any effective resistance, it was completely routed. β
A low-level official in the corner of the command hall who was in charge of receiving information said in an extremely dry tone to all the colonel-level generals present.
This sentence suddenly woke up more than a dozen Holy Spirit mages.
"Immediately let all the survivors of the first line of defense retreat to the first level of the second line of defense, and cooperate with the inner city guards to start the enchantment"
"There is no survivor magic flame current on the west side of the outer wall that is spreading rapidly along the wall, northwest, southwest...... No, now it's the north side and the south side, both asking for emergency support"
"The fire is spreading greatly...... No, not the spread, it's devouring everything it is capable of burning, the walls, the ground, the magical protective layer, and even the magic itself...... No means can stop it"
"The guards on the south side asked to retreat to the north side...... It's already over the east side to ask for the inner city gate to be opened and let them retreat in."
The sharp reports came and went, and people were breathless to hear, and there was no room for orders to be issued.
The hearts of all the Holy Spirit Mages were cold, and they looked left and right with frightened eyes, and what they saw were extremely pale faces.
Although the first layer of defense of the Yawiluk fortress is the weakest, it is only relative.
After the Emperor ** reoccupied this place and learned the lessons of the previous attack by the Orcs, and spent great efforts to perfect and consolidate it, the strength of the outer city walls alone had reached the level where it was enough to block the arcane-level magic without damage.
Combined with the magic formation arranged in the first line of defense, even in the face of legendary-level magic, there is a certain amount of resistance, and it is impossible to have such a devastating collapse in any case.
However, this theoretical impossibility was overturned in front of everyone's eyes
"Enemy...... The attackers have reached the second line of defense and are storming the inner city walls."
The intelligence officer shouted hoarsely.
"There's no need to open the gates of the inner city, everyone in the first line of defense...... None survived. β
The magic screen that re-shows the light and shadow has a much longer angle than before, apparently using a magic mechanism closer to the direction of the castle.
On the screen, the inner city walls are facing a great fire, fire, fire, and fire, and these flames are mainly orange, but also green, yellow, and blue...... No matter how you look at it, it can't be a normal flame
The water-based mages in blue striped robes did their best to cast the enchantment in front of the frame, but the ice and water formation that they managed to put together was comparable to the magic of the Holy Spirit, and it took less than five seconds for them to be consumed by the yellow flames
Moreover, after destroying this ice water formation, the yellow flames burned even more fiercely, burning several mages who had no time to retreat
Looking at the other screens, it turns out that whether the guards are using earth-based magic, wind magic, combination magic, or fusion magic, the consequences are the same.
Those flames...... It's like it's alive, devouring, absorbing, growing, and bursting out with even more powerful power.
The Holy Spirit Mages of the Imperial Legion were so cold that they couldn't say anything.
In fact, there are already some of them...... Practically. It should be that everyone can already think of something, but none of them dare to say it first.
This strange multi-colored flame, a strange fire-based magic that has a restraining effect on all matter and even magic, is a unique magical sign of a person
"Magical Fire Mage ......"
Eventually, a weak voice broke the silence.
It was the intelligence officer who spoke first, and he stared at the fiery magic and said in a trance.
"It's the magical fire mage Chongyang @ Bright here...... According to the intelligence, Chongyang @ Bright has a peculiar amplification spell, which can burst out with terrifying power far beyond the theoretical limit after changing its own state......"
It's not a monster, it's not an orc, it's not a monster.
Just one person.
A fire mage who has declared to the entire empire that he will fight for the guerrilla forces that the emperor regards as a scum pariah, and who is loyal to the princess of the empire
The legendary him, now here.
