Chapter 427: Nine Rings Meteor Burst
The castle of the Fischer family, called Rushing Stream, was located on the north side of the city of Baloske, built on the beach where two rivers intersected, and the castle made of rock was triangular in shape, facing the river on both sides, and a huge trench was dug on the third side of the south side with a width of up to 200 meters.
The trench was ten meters deep, with stone steps at the bottom and on both sides, and was the only way to enter and exit the castle from land.
Rushing Fort had already received a warning from the side of Crab Harbor, and opened the gates at both ends of the trench to bring in water from the river.
By the time the army had gathered outside Rushing Castle, the ditch had been filled with water, and the castle had become an island surrounded on three sides.
A translucent water shield rises from the river to protect the entire Rushing Fort.
"Dada......"
The Ultramarines opened fire, hundreds of bullets hitting the shield in a circle of ripples, and the power was quickly absorbed.
Such a large protective shield is not something that a few Rambo guns can break.
Moreover, Rushing Fort was not only beaten, but a large number of water-pressure batteries were arranged on three walls, at least hundred, more than in the city of Baloske.
The sturgeon warriors fought back with the battery, and a thick jet of water exploded, tearing apart several centaurs who had rushed to the edge of the trench.
The Knights of the Spear Wing reacted very quickly, and seeing that they could not knock out the fort, they immediately ordered the Bronze Pegasus to stop.
The centaur leader Nahaqi shouted in quick succession, causing the army to withdraw from the range of the water cannons, but more than twenty centaurs still died under the cannons.
Wren watched this scene from behind, shaking his head in his heart.
The training of the Centaur Legion is still a little poor, and it is impossible to enforce the order, and if it is not for the large enough number of people to go head-to-head with the real Transcendent Legion, I am afraid that it will suffer a big loss.
Finally, the formation of the army was finally formed, and it was already a quarter of an hour later.
Emilys looked at the guards on the walls of Rushing Castle, all of them were sturgeon warriors, and for some reason, the Riverbend Legion did not leave the castle and went to support the battle in Crab Harbor.
This frustrated her plans.
If you can lure the sturgeon warriors out of Rushing Castle and eliminate more sturgeon warriors in Balosk City, the castle will be much easier to take because the castle is short of manpower.
According to Valrogan's intelligence, the Fisher family's Riverbend Legion had a total of more than 1,300 sturgeon warriors, six of whom were legendary.
Excluding the sturgeon warriors in Crab Harbor, there are at least a thousand people in the castle!
These more than 1,000 sturgeon warriors relied on the protective magic circle of Rushing Castle and occupied a geographical advantage, and it would take a lot of effort to take it down.
For thousands of years, Rushing Fort has almost never fallen.
Without the wizards of Wezeland's Floating City, Emilys would not have dared to attack Rushing Castle, and those more than 5,000 centaurs were far from enough.
"Your Highness. ”
Valrogan said loudly: "Duke Fischer can't defend it, this is very in line with his steady style, I'm afraid we can only attack." ”
Emily nodded slightly, her gaze falling on a stout old man on the walls of the castle's main entrance.
His face was weathered and his hair was gray, but his blue eyes were extremely clear, and he wore close-fitting black fishskin-like leather armor like the other sturgeon warriors, with a black fish-shaped badge pinned to his chest and a large gray cloak tied behind him.
Around him gathered a group of sturgeon warriors, apparently of the highest status.
Valogen said in a low voice: "Your Highness, he is the Duke of Philsher Fisher, the patriarch of the Fisher family, and the current ruler of the Duchy of Fisher. ”
"I know him. Emilys withdrew her gaze, "Is it possible to negotiate to get him to surrender?"
Dinglaj next to him shook his head, "It's almost impossible. ”
"The Fisher family holds a great deal of honor, and it is unacceptable for them to surrender without a fight. Dinkraj explained: "Although they didn't stand with Marke, or even against Marke, this is almost their tradition, there have been several defections in history, but all because they had to surrender, and the family was forced to the moment of life and death." ”
He said it very subtlely, but everyone listened to each other's voices.
They must be defeated before they surrender.
"Then we have to fight. Emilys nodded, not ready to waste words with Duke Fischer, and even Brinton, who had just been captured, did not come in handy, she looked at Wren and the two Speakers, and asked, "What do you think of the Speakers?"
Cleos and Cadegar were all right, but they didn't take a stand.
Leaving the Floating City this time, His Excellency the Speaker had already instructed that all the members of the wizarding group obeyed the command of Wren, and they were only responsible for execution.
However, Wren did not give the order, and was still thinking about it.
His soul eye saw more information than anyone else, Duke Fisher on the city wall was a legendary high-ranking sturgeon warrior, reaching level eighteen, one level higher than Speaker Cadegard, although his strength was not as good as Cadegard, but Duke Fisher had a characteristic that had to be guarded against.
The duke's fire of faith is unlike any other, taking on the form of a water current, leading to an unknown void.
Wren sensed it from a distance, and immediately sensed the aura of the gods.
Reeves Fisher is a Chosen One!
In the world of Erenus, the Chosen are the last thing to provoke, and there are gods standing behind them, and even their every move will attract the attention of the gods.
Duke Fischer believed in Oshenna, the god of the river, who had little reputation and low divine power, but that was compared to other gods. For mortals, the weakest gods are also more terrifying than the strongest Holy Soul wizards, and even just the incarnation of divine power can affect the course of the war.
Wren didn't know much about Orsinna, the god of the river, except that he was a low-key deity with not many followers in the Empire.
Most of the followers of Orschena are river species or river-dependent occupations, such as fishermen and boatmen, so they are unable to spread the faith on a large scale.
The number of believers determines the strength of the divine power.
The more the gods had fewer believers, the more they cherished the believers, and the Fisher family ruled a principality, ruled millions of people, and developed a transcendent profession that was very compatible with the priesthood, which must have been extremely important in the eyes of the god of the river.
This is different from the killing of Caligula on the Saine plateau.
Although Caligula is also the Chosen One, he is only one of the many Chosen of the Black Emperor, and the temper of the Black Emperor is also the most eccentric among the gods, he is extremely strict with the Chosen One, making them compete with each other, and if one dies, there will soon be other believers to fill the place, and then let the successor Chosen One take revenge.
Killing Caligula only to attract the Black Emperor incarnation was definitely an accident.
The god of the river, Oschena, was different, with his divine power he could only supply two or three of the Chosen One, and even the Duke of Fischer was the only seedling.
If he killed the Duke of Fisher, it was likely to attract the wrath of the gods, and perhaps the god of the river was looking down on all this in the kingdom of God at this moment.
Wren didn't speak for a long time, and Emilys was a little strange and shouted, "Wren?"
There was a hint of urgency in her voice.
Wren quietly glanced up, the sky was as usual, and there was no sign of the arrival of the god incarnation, and said in a low voice: "Duke Fischer is the Chosen One, do you know?"
Hearing this, the two Speakers Cleos and Cadegar, their faces changed slightly, revealing a cautious expression.
Don't provoke the Chosen One, that's pretty much common sense.
Emilys didn't react much, and nodded: "The major families of Congatro have their own gods to believe in, and for thousands of years, many Chosen Ones have been born, most of them are the patriarchs of the families or the most powerful transcendents. Lieves Fisher is the longest-living Duke of Congatro to date, having declared himself the Chosen One of Orschena three hundred years ago. ”
"When I was in Wezeland, I had already assured Master Anthy that the restoration would not involve a conflict of faith among the gods. ”
"Last night at Longjing Fort, my prayers were answered. ”
Emilys' words were astonishing, and she continued, "The dragon god is happy to see the Trogonburg family return to its glory, and he has negotiated with the gods that as long as they do not change the belief of the people of Congartro in the Seven Gods, the gods will not descend in their avatars to intervene in mortal wars. ”
The Seven Gods of Congatro refer to the seven gods, including the dragon god, which deal with the seven great families.
Wren was still a little uneasy, "What if you kill Duke Fischer?"
Emilys' eyelids jumped, she only thought about defeating Duke Fischer, but she never dared to kill him, this is also the normal thinking of most people, as the spokesperson of the gods in the mortal world, can the Chosen One be killed?
Why did Wren say it so lightly, as if killing a chicken?
"It is better to keep him alive, a living Duke of Fischer is more useful to us than a dead one. Emily said cautiously.
"I see. ”
Wren nodded in understanding, "Two Speakers, can you break the castle's shield?"
Cleos, the red dragon who had transformed into a High Elf, looked at Rushing Castle, his eyes fixed on the circular shield that rose from the river, and his face looked thoughtful.
"This shield is a large divine art, if I read it correctly, the principle should be similar to the 'Water Curtain Technique' of the Five Rings, based on sufficient water sources, and the defense power has also been increased to the ...... of the Nine Rings" Cleos made a judgment in a few seconds.
Emilys, Valogen and the others were shocked when they heard the Nine Rings Divine Technique.
Divine magic is the same as spells, the nine rings must reach the Holy Soul level, that is, level 20 or above to be cast, and the two speakers are only legendary high-level, can they break it?
As a result, Cleos was heard to say, "Such a rough shield is a joke." ”
The High Elves' faces were filled with disdain.
"Prepare to attack. ”
He dropped the words at Emilys and the others, looked at Cadegar, and ordered, "I'll take the wizards to blast it open, and you cooperate with me to cut off the source of the river for the shield." ”
"Good. Cadegar readily agreed.
Now Cleos is second only to the Grand Speaker in the Council of Six, and he used to be kind to him, and his character is like this, he has long been used to it.
Cleos cleared a clearing in the army and took out materials to arrange the rune circle.
He was extremely efficient, and the materials had been prepared long ago, and it took him less than ten minutes to draw a huge circle on the ground, standing in the center of the circle, with thirty elite wizards and two legendary beginners surrounding him, each occupying a place in the circle.
Only Wren and Speaker Cadegarard were not involved.
Wren recognized this as the "Gathering Rune Array", which every wizard in the Wezeland Wizarding Order had learned to channel soul power through the circle and gather it on a person, and cast spells with higher rings to increase power or increase the damage range.
It's a must-have for wizarding groups to fight against enemies stronger than themselves, or to change the course of a war.
Not only the wizards of Wezeland, but also the major floating cities have similar methods.
"Here we go. ”
Cleos snorted softly, and the thirty-two wizards poured soul power into their feet in unison, and the carved lines lit up, and mysterious runes flickered, and the magic circle was immediately activated.
The vast amount of soul power gathered on Cleos through the magic circle, as a legendary high-level mage of the nineteenth level, he easily withstood the infusion of soul power, he waited for a few seconds, held his crystal wand, raised it and began to cast spells.
A terrifying wave emanated.
The cold wind in the sky stopped, the temperature rose rapidly, dispelling the cold, and everyone within a radius of miles felt a kind of dry heat, as if they had entered summer in a few breaths.
This vision made the sturgeon warriors in the Rushing Castle uneasy, and they couldn't help but feel frightened when they looked at the rune circle formed by the wizards from the top of the city wall, and some of them were even shaken.
Duke Fischer's old face also showed panic.
But he didn't know what was about to happen, and for Kangatro who lacked a skilled spellcaster, few people had seen this kind of high-ring spell.
The vision lasted about a minute.
Cleos's magic grew brighter and brighter, and his soul power and mana condensed on the head of the staff, as if it were burning, and the head of the staff was like a small sun that people couldn't look at. He raised his wand, raising it little by little, as if the crystal wand, which was only arm-long, weighed more than a thousand pounds.
When the wand was raised to the top, finally, the spell was complete!
A solid ball of fireball shot into the air, only the size of a fist, and its speed was so fast that even Wren's eyesight could barely catch its trajectory, and disappeared in an instant.
The surging rune circle subsided, and the wizards stopped guiding and looked high into the sky.
A few seconds later, four red lights appeared in the blue-white sky, and they quickly magnified in the eyes, and it only took a few seconds to occupy the field of vision, making people see clearly.
"Shooting Star!"
The sturgeon warriors in Rushing Fort screamed in terror.
Four huge meteors fell from the sky, each more than five meters in diameter, rubbing against the air and igniting flames, trailing tail flames hundreds of meters long behind them, one after the other, lined up from low to high, and smashed down towards the Rushing Castle.
Nine Rings Spell - Meteor Burst!
The guards on the walls of Rushing Castle immediately became a mess, they had never seen this spell and did not know its name, but such a terrible bombardment fell on the head, and it was terrifying just to look at it, and no one believed that the castle's water shield could withstand it.
The meteor falls so fast that there is no time to escape at all.
The Duke of Fischer was also unable to make any response.
Bang!
The first meteor smashed into the shield with an earth-shattering explosion that spread throughout the city of Baloske.
