Chapter 434 Confrontation
I saw the baron, wielding two heavy giant swords in his hands, and those who pounced on the drow seemed to be hit by the giant's waving arm, and in the muffled sound of popping, they were easily slapped out by the wide sword surface.
With excellent dynamic vision, Christian could even see how the fragile bridge of his nose was smashed into a plane by the wide iron plate, and then waves rippled on his face, and finally fell from the city wall with a wail.
Of course, the huge sword face is not just a huge iron plate that slaps the gopher, and from time to time Morey erects this giant sword the size of a hand shield, but it can easily block the scimitar thrown by the angry Drow, and then uses fireballs and ice arrows to return the color.
At this time, Bert and Vivien Hayley, who were late to the scene, also arrived at the scene, and with their help, the precarious wall immediately became stable.
After the rest of the guards on the city wall retreated from the drow in the direction of their defense and sent some squads to reinforce them, the situation was completely controlled.
However, looking at the dense Drow warriors who were gathering here in the distance, Morey did not completely relax and couldn't help but ask anxiously:
"What about our fellow disciples? When has this been, why isn't there a single mage on the city wall?! ”
Although the status of a mage is extremely respected on the continent and has more privileges than a warrior, but now it is the most critical moment, and he really plans to hide behind and refuse to fight?
Where do you place the honor of the organization?!
When Christian heard this, he quickly explained:
"Baron Morey, don't worry, they are not cowards who are greedy for life and afraid of death, but now they really can't get out of the way, and they are all in the city lord's fortress to assist two masters who have just arrived here and a traitor from Ohs City to confront each other."
Under Christian's narration, Morey slowly learns what happened after they left.
When Morey led the militia and fought back to hold off the pursuing forces of Drow, the large army of the rout finally withdrew to the inner city.
But while everyone was patiently waiting for the troops to be cut off, Brewer's butler pretended to pass on the orders of the city lord to open the spell barrier in the inner city, blocking both Morey and Drow from the city.
After being discovered, the butler did not hide that he had used deception, but he looked righteous and awe-inspiring, saying that it was for the safety of everyone that he opened the enchantment without telling everyone, and he didn't mind being this bad guy.
At this time, because of the previous rout, people were panicked, to be honest, no matter how noble and selfless these people were on weekdays, they only cared about their own safety at the moment, how could they take care of so much, so in their hearts, they actually had a little bit of agreement with the housekeeper who did the dirty work he didn't want to do, so he didn't provoke public anger and was just thrown into the dungeon and imprisoned.
But soon those mages who came to support found out that something was wrong, although they were not familiar with Morey, but everyone was the same family, so they naturally wanted to mention Morey a word or two, and the province ended up with a reputation of not being saved.
But they found that the communication stone they had equipped before they left could not send any signal at all.
Immediately after that, the people discovered that the teleportation spell they relied on as the last resort had no effect under this spell enchantment.
Everyone hurriedly found Brewer, and after hearing this, the city lord did not see panic on his face, but only a wry smile.
"I'm afraid you don't know, although our Ohs City is famous, but the cost of maintaining various expenses on weekdays is not low."
"So in order to save money, the spell enchantment in this inner city uses the most simple design, so that although the production cost is directly reduced by 30%, it also leads to magic chaos here, not only can you not use [Communication] and [Teleportation], but even other spells have a high probability of failure."
When everyone heard this, they were immediately shocked, if according to the words of this Brewer city lord, once the spell barrier in this inner city was opened, wouldn't it turn this cramped inner city into an island that trapped them?
That's not going to work! Hurry up and open it!
In the face of the raging mages of the Book of Ten Thousand Laws, Brewer had to reluctantly say again that after this spell enchantment was opened, it would take at least a day to close it, because they were designed to prevent the retreating team from sneaking in one day, and closing this last barrier while the chaos was closed.
Everyone had no choice but to retreat, and spent their days in their respective rooms.
So don't look at it, they don't need to face Drow's pursuit like Morey and the others, but their strength to survive has been disturbed, and there are so many fierce Drow outside the city, and these lucky mages who came to the inner city are not as good as Bert imagined.
But only 10 hours later, they heard the news that was both happy and horrified - the spell barrier had been destroyed from within!
And the mastermind of this matter is the steward who is imprisoned in the dungeon.
This dissident who has been lurking around the city lord for a long time has long figured out the situation of this spell enchantment node with the help of his position, and took advantage of the panic in the inner city to directly let his subordinates blow up the node and destroy the entire enchantment.
"Why did he do that?"
Turn on the defense first and then blow up the enchantment, is this housekeeper schizophrenic?
Faced with Morey's question, Christian could only shake his head with a wry smile:
"No one knows why he did it!"
"But I guess it may be to drive all the mages of your guild into the room as much as possible, disperse the defenses around the city lord, and finally remember the momentary movement when the explosion occurred, and take advantage of the weakness to enter and take the city lord hostage."
According to the captain of the guard, the butler suddenly jumped to the whereabouts of a treasure, and according to his tone, this treasure flowed from the hands of the legendary mage patriarch of the deceased Mansfield family, and had been hidden in the hands of the descendants of the Mansfield family for many years, and he only recently confirmed that the treasure was in the hands of the Brewer city lord.
Hearing the butler's statement of his intentions as if he was in control, except for the two legendary mages who happened to "travel" here, the rest of the mages who came to the rescue of Ohs City seemed to be a little lacking in interest, no matter how strong the treasure was, could it be stronger than the [Book of Ten Thousand Laws]?
However, although the treasure was not attractive to them, they still had to accompany the two seniors to pose in this hall.
Because for them as reinforcements, as long as this Brewer City Lord does not die in the hands of others, then it doesn't matter if the Ohus City is destroyed, but if this City Lord dies, then even if he saves many people in this siege battle, it is useless, and the trial will still be judged as a failure.
The Book of Ten Thousand Laws, the Scarlet Mage Tower.
Looking at the two sides in the hall who had scruples about each other and had to stalemate each other, Yarman scolded with disdain:
"Idiot!"
It's just that I don't know if these two words are given to the housekeeper who is dazed by Liling, or the two guys who suddenly jumped out.
