Chapter 59: The Battle of the Siege
"Wait, what's going on with this war?"
Levi tried to make sense of the current situation.
Tia explained, "This is the war between Mirror City and the Overlord, the war where the legendary king sent his army to attack Mirror City, and here it continues in the posture of an undead army and a guardian knight with only souls left. β
Levi looked at the battlefield and said, "That means it's not human on either side...... Then we don't really need to be involved in this war, we should get out of here. β
"What?" Tia, Baizhe, and Rein all made sounds of surprise.
Leaviston paused, stretched out his palm to reassure the three of them, and continued: "This is a meaningless war that has lasted for hundreds of years, we are just the ones who inadvertently broke into this forgotten space, we are not of this world, we have participated in this story enough, we should get out of here." β
Tia's mouth opened wide to say something, but she felt that Levi had a point.
As a knight, Bai Zhe's thoughts were not so complicated, he said, "That princess saved us just now." We can't watch what happens to her...... Oh, the hegemonic bastards have ruined it, right? β
"She's already a dead person, you can't save someone who has been dead hundreds of years ago, she's just a ghost! You should let them continue their war, and not get one foot into it! Levi replied rationally.
Rein couldn't take it anymore, he said: "Although Vera is just a ghost, she is real, her mind, her kindness, her soul is more real to me than anyone else, I will not watch her be destroyed by the undead army of the overlord." If you want to go, go, I'm going to fight alongside Princess Vera. β
With that, Rein took the bow and quiver and walked towards Vera.
Bai Zhe grabbed his knight's sword, looked at the back of Lei Yin leaving in amazement, and suddenly slapped his thigh and said, "His uncle's!" I hesitated, I didn't expect this kid to be more like a knight than me! I'm a knight, and I can't turn a blind eye to the suffering of othersβeven if she has only one soul left. Tia, you and Levi use teleportation magic to go first, I'll help Rein, this stinky boy! β
After Bai Zhe finished speaking, he drew his sword and ran up.
Levi's face turned red with anger and said, "Why can't these two people understand, this is not our war!" What kind of chivalry is it when it is difficult to protect itself? β
Levi saw Tia looking at him with a confused look, and hurriedly said, "Tia, you don't want to mess around with them, do you?" β
Tia turned her head to look at Vera, bit her lower lip and said, "I...... I do not know. Although I have only been with Vera for more than ten minutes, I feel her incomparable innocence and kindness, she just managed to save us, I think...... We can't just leave her alone. β
"But ......"
Levi also wanted to convince Tia to go with him, but Tia interrupted him: "Levi, you use teleportation magic to go back to the Mirror Lake base camp, and go ask the mentors for help." This five-hundred-year-old war has been woken up to us, and I feel we should help put an end to itβI'm going to help Vera. β
After Tia finished speaking, she glanced at Levi, and the confusion just now turned into firmness, and then she shook her hair and ran over.
Levi looked at the three people who did not listen to the dissuasion in amazement, and stomped his feet in anger and said, "I don't care about you anymore!" β
With that, he picked up his wand and chanted teleportation magic.
Rein ran to Vera, who was directing the battle, and shouted, "Princess! β
Princess Vera turned her head to look at Rein, and at the same time saw Bai Zhe and Tia who were walking behind her, and she said in surprise, "Why are you here?" β
"We?" Curious, Lei Yin turned around and found that Bai Zhe and Tia had also followed behind. He couldn't help but smile, turned back to Vera and said, "I think you might need help." β
"Boom-"
A fireball outside the city smashed into the city wall, causing Princess Vera to subconsciously shrink her head. She was about to say that she didn't need their help, but she didn't know where to start.
In fact, Rein didn't know what he could do in such a large-scale war, but he felt very unhappy when he heard Levi rationally say that it was none of his business, and that Vera was a ghostless ghost. He felt that this princess, who had been sleeping for five hundred years, was kinder and more innocent than anyone else - she protected himself and Tia, whom she had never met, from the guardian knight, and took herself to rescue Bai Zhe and Levi, without mentioning a word in return. For such an existence, there was no reason why he should not lend a helping hand, even if it was just standing beside her and shooting a few arrows, he felt that he had not failed her.
Although Vera was grateful, she still shook her head and said, "You should go, if the overlord army invades, you will all die here!" β
Rein asked, "What about you?" What will happen to you if the overlord's army comes in? β
Princess Vera showed a sad smile and said, "Maybe she will be gone, maybe she will become an eternal prisoner of the overlord king, who knows." But what does it matter, I'm dead, Char is gone, maybe complete death is where I should be......"
"Then why are you now commanding the Guardian Knights to fight against the hegemonic army, isn't it good to directly let them attack and slaughter the city?"
Vera looked at the overlord army outside the city and said, "They are an unrighteous army, and it is impossible for the free Mirror City to yield to them at any time." β
"Since you're going to fight, fight to the end, you shouldn't despair about the future," Rein said. If you can exist in the state of a soul, why can't Char? β
Vera was stunned for a moment and said, "You mean...... Char may still exist in this space like me? β
"I don't know, but it's a possibility, isn't it," Rein said. If your love can exist in the story for 500 years, the bond of your love will lead you to find each other. β
Vera looked out of the Mirror City, a hazy mist in her eyes, and she said gratefully, "Thank you, Reyn, for giving me hope to continue to exist in this world...... I can't fall here, I'm going to look for Char outside of Mirror City! β
At this time, Bai Zhe and Tia arrived, and they smiled at Rein and Princess Vera, and everything was silent.
Bai Zhe looked at the hegemonic army outside the city and said, "Then how should this battle be fought next?" β
Although they ran over with enthusiasm, in fact, the three of them were just novices who had not experienced the baptism of the real battlefield.
Princess Vera knew that the three would not be easily convinced, and she finally made up her mind to make them part of the battle. She pointed to a tall tower on the city wall and said, "There, is the defensive turret of Mirror City, and there is a magic cannon in it, and the magic cannon can only be used by the living, so if you want to help repel the overlord army, go and help me bombard them with the magic cannon." β
The three of them looked at the tower, and Bai Zhe said excitedly, "Okay! I'm the best at using this heavy weapon! Let's go! β
Tia smiled at Princess Vera and said, "I'm going!" β
Rein didn't say anything, smiled at Princess Vera, and followed him to the magic turret.
At this time, the undead army of the overlord launched a fierce attack on Mirror City.
The undead soldiers of the hegemon turned into wall-climbing experts one by one, crawling towards the city wall like ants.
Lance commanded the guardian knights to bring the stones prepared on the city wall early in the morning and threw them down, and many of the overlord soldiers were truly "shattered".
However, as undead, they soon pieced together the scattered bones and continued to attack the walls.
Seeing this, Lance decisively ordered: "Attack with fire oil and burn them all!" β
When dealing with the undead, using fire is the most useful trick.
Soon the guardian knight changed into fire oil and poured it on the undead soldiers under the city wall, and the fire suddenly broke out under the city wall of Mirror City, and once the undead soldiers of the overlord were burned, they could no longer get up.
However, the city walls were too long to completely defend every place, and some of the soldiers of the overlord climbed the city walls and engaged in white-knuckle battles with the guardian knights.
After a wave of consumption, the commander of the Overlord, the king who rode a tall, richly decorated skeletal horse under the tattered banner, commanded his undead witches to attack the Mirror City with a single finger of his bone-white arm.
The robes of these witches were torn into rags, and their long nails curled on Bai Sensen's phalanges, and they didn't have to ride broomsticks, but rode the wind one by one, their fingers shaking, and they smirked and attacked Mirror City.
Bai Zhe, Tia, and Rein had only climbed half of the stairs of the Wizard Turret, and before they could enter the tower, the Undead Witch had already attacked.
Tia screamed, pulling out her wand and unleashing a shock spell at an undead witch who was rushing straight at her: "Hasaka! β
The orb flew out and hit the undead witch.
"Bang!"
The undead witch's body was pierced, she stopped, looked down at the pierced body, and then looked up again, and the terrible head showed a terrible white smile, and said, "Are you tickling me, human?" Ahahahaha! β
An arrow flew in and landed on the undead witch's chest.
"Poof!"
The undead witch's skeletal body was shot by this arrow, and the burst of magical energy and black powder produced a violently burning explosion, and the undead witch was shot with a single arrow.
"Let's go!" Rein lowered his bow and urged.
Bai Zhe and Tia came to their senses and quickly climbed up into the magic turret.
Rein stood guard on the stairs, keeping an eye on every undead witch that approached, and a series of magical burst arrows were fired.
His archery skills quickly merged with the previous theories in actual combat, which made him slowly become more and more solid at this time. Magical bursting arrows were fired, and his confidence in himself grew little by little.
Bai Zhe adjusted the magic cannon barrel in the turret and said excitedly: "I can also come and feel the power of the legendary magic cannon at noon!" β
