Chapter Thirty-Seven: The Bombardment of the Academy of Magic
"Signals received, tanks and cannons began to reload shells"
"Loaded, reloaded......"
After receiving the reply, Bini ordered the artillery and tanks to get out of the forest, which was already on the edge of the forest, and it took only a few minutes for the barrels of the tanks and cannons to emerge from the perimeter of the forest.
"Be careful to avoid His Royal Highness the Prince who is about to take off, and hit me hard!" Long before coming, Zhang Hao had already told everyone that once the signal flare was launched, there was no need to be merciful.
The dense sound of artillery startled everyone in the magic academy, and the mages on the city wall who were about to intercept Zhang Hao were so frightened by the protruding explosion that they almost bit their tongues.
The magic academy was ready for battle before it came out, so the senior mages went to the designated position in advance to maintain the magic array of the academy, and the artillery was like rain falling into the water and splashing bursts of water, although the artillery was strong, it was unable to break through the light blue magic circle for a while.
Zhang Hao and the Burning Heart Knights returned to the military formation without danger, Lilith and Teucer came up first, and they didn't dare to say anything when they saw Zhang Hao with an angry face.
"Big brother, we need the power of a mage! You ...... like this" Anna couldn't help crying before she finished speaking, she once let this group of arrogant mages rescue Carl, and even agreed to marry the arrogant and rude Allen, and endured Allen's teasing and humiliated life in the academy.
Because there is no high-level mage to make communication crystals, Karl's contact with the academy has long been very rare, and later it was all used in the intelligence system, so for a long time the academy even thought that the empire had changed its name, and Anna, who was originally a princess, instantly lost any value in marriage, and finally Anna secretly promised Alan that if her two eldest brothers were still alive and saved them, Anna would be a slave to Alan, and finally Alan persuaded his father, who was the speaker, to agree to Anna to do the final struggle under the care of Drews after the academy appeared, I believe that with the backing of the Academy of Magic, as long as Drews's people don't make the first move, no force will lose face.
Anna's grievances and sadness are only known to her, although there are many people in the academy to help her, but the unfettered council has long been lost in power, and such a small circle has made the already nervous mages a little distorted.
Anna vented in front of her loved ones, telling that if it weren't for the mages who could have committed suicide by returning their magic to nature, Anna might have been ...... long ago
"Teucer, Kroze, take the cavalry to keep the Academy of Magic in check, and kill anyone who tries to escape! Bini, don't stop the artillery, don't worry, even if you fight for a month, these cannons won't break, if they stop, I'll stuff you into the artillery and shoot them out! ”
"Your Highness, the current cannonballs are estimated to last for about two or three hours," Bini quickly calculated the number of cannonballs pulled by the horse-drawn cart.
"Lilith write a letter and ask the yarn to pull it now, I can't do it, these mages' magic can be endless!"
"Big brother! You can't......
"I can, I say that if you destroy it in one day, you will destroy it in one day, and you can't destroy the Academy of Magic tomorrow, and I, Lee Roald, will do it myself!" Just kidding, is it good to build the system of the Academy of Magic and the Battle Council now, Zhang Hao clicked the demolition button through the system before he took Anna out, it will take a day, and the time for MB to take time to rebuild it, by the bird anger of your group of mages? Prepare to be buried inside!
Zhang Hao took the crying Anna to see the artillery hidden in the forest and the half-griffin knights who had begun to move, and then found the battle priest and witch hunter who accompanied the army to know Anna, which made her believe that the current empire has begun to rise again, and it is no longer the empire that she needs to use herself as a bargaining chip to save.
In the end, Anna fell asleep to the deafening sound of artillery under the magic of the battle priests, perhaps a sense of security that she had not experienced in a long time, which made her sleep unusually sweetly in this strange environment.
After nearly seven or eight hours of continuous bombardment, the steam tank and cannon shells were finally used up, and the yarn lay motionless on the ground as if it were dead, allowing the bored Lilith to keep harassing it, but if Tork and Bini wanted to come up and get closer, the yarn would definitely come up with a claw.
And the Academy of Magic is like a castle with no people, there is no movement at all after the artillery stops, although the artillery does not cause substantial damage to the academy, but I believe that the blow to the heart will not be less at all.
"The Academy of Magic is so good at beating up?" Zhang Hao looked at the motionless academy with eagle glasses, and kept sighing. "By the way, how many people are there?" Zhang Hao cautiously asked Anna, who was sitting quietly next to Zhang Hao, for fear of asking something that shouldn't be asked.
"Big brother, there are more than a dozen senior mages in various departments in the academy, there are nearly forty or fifty intermediate mages, and there are hundreds of low-level mages."
"I'm going, that's all there is to a school like this?" Zhang Hao was a little unconvinced.
"The original academy was like a continent-wide human enrollment, with thousands of students at the most, and of course, the academy not only taught magic, but also horsemanship and swordsmanship."
"Sounds awesome," Zhang Hao admired, the academy used to be of high standards.
"Big brother, as the prince of the empire, you must maintain the etiquette of the nobles, and don't scold people casually" Don't talk about Anna, who has just come out of the isolated academy, even Lilith, it took them a long time to figure out what the words that popped out of Zhang Hao's mouth from time to time meant.
"Huh? I'm not swearing, am I? ”
"Isn't it?"
“……”
"Tell me about the situation in the academy, these old immortals really regard themselves as the emperor of the soil, and they are powerful in it."
"In fact, there are still a lot of good people in it, the space here is originally small, several mage towers have always been quite contradictory, and friction will inevitably occur in the days together, but you have also seen that in such a big place, in the end, the small friction escalated into a war, a war of factions, everyone fought for their own beliefs, but unfortunately after Barron-Hebrew mastered the key technology of the Light Demon Vehicle, the balance of the factions was broken, and after the death of several faction leaders, everyone accepted Barron's leadership, but seriously, Speaker Barron is really suitable to be a leader, and under his leadership, the final stage of the Bright Demon Ride has been successfully developed, breaking the shackles of the contract and allowing us to come back completely.
"Contract? What contract? Zhang Hao felt like he was listening to a novel story, and he didn't know anything about this history.
"Big brother, you can't go through the family's historical documents, besides, it's only been a few years!"
"Hey, my dear sister, I'm going to have time to flip through the books, and you're going to have to marry that brain-dead man today."
Anna looked at Zhang Hao and was helpless, "The sky mage predicted the advent of chaos, in order to ensure that the empire has the strength to survive, my father used up the last ancient contract stone on the road at that time, and signed a magic contract with half of the territory and the then chairman of the battle council, the battle council must develop a weapon that can hurt the god and hand it to the Roald family, otherwise it will be forever exiled to the dimensional space and will not return, if the Roald family does not fulfill the contract, the souls of all family members will be burned for a hundred years." ”
"What? One hundred years!? "Did you fall into the pit......
