Chapter 104: Ordered in Danger
There are only two plans proposed by Sivi.
The first was for the students to evacuate the castle and mobilize the inhabitants of the mountain castle to help.
Most of those residents are mage apprentices who know one or two hands, and there are many beginner mages, and in this kind of mountain surrounded by bats, plus they are all from the Lylian Academy, so there is a high possibility that they will help.
In addition, the mountain town had more supplies than the school, which was obviously a living and commercial area, and in view of this, Sivi also had them prepare garlic and crosses, and melt the silver coins to purify the silver and plate them on various weapons, so as to be fully prepared to deal with vampires.
Relieved, he also left the castle to inspect the situation in the mountain castle.
This strategy has clearly been successful.
Many students and residents gathered to talk about various things, and the bleak atmosphere of the siege was dispelled a lot. Some students are also helping the shops carry supplies, make crosses, melt silver coins, and prepare to fight vampires. Others practiced throwing with sticks in the hands of mages.
Compared to things like 'headless trolls', which are chattered about by earth-god gods, vampires are less scary and even have an urge to get excited.
Several times, Sivi heard the reckless and bold students suggest that they go straight to the city, but this unconspiracy suggestion, which is no different from suicide, was immediately rejected by the other students who had already calmed down.
But these are not the most important things, people are more likely to have a good impression of the people around them than usual when they are in danger, which is called the drawbridge effect.
Unconsciously, the relationship between the students has become more friendly than before, and many students who were originally alone have been accepted by other student groups, and even the students and residents who were originally a little estranged have begun to become closer because of this incident. This is also the outcome that Sivi wanted to see in the first place.
The next step is to hone the team spirit through actual combat.
At the command of Sivi at the gate of the academy castle, the students and residents alike began to attack the bats outside the Alert Barrier with tricks such as the Magic Missile Secondary Fireball Technique.
Although those spells are not very powerful, they are terrifying in number, not to mention that occasionally there are a few second-ring spells mixed in them. Almost every round of attacks injures thousands and knocks down hundreds of bats.
A lot of times people think that vampires can manipulate bats, but in fact this is a cognitive misconception.
Vampires are not druids. They can't manipulate other creatures, not even bats that match them best.
In fact, the bats summoned by vampires are not real creatures. More often than not, it's just a manifestation of its strength, and other times it's a part of its body.
Then the question arises, what will happen if all the bats that have been embodied in their power are solved?
Quite simply, the guy will be weakened by a lack of mana.
I've said it before. Judging from the number of bats, the masterminds behind this siege of the mountain are likely to be marquis or even prince, of course, it may also be many earldoms, and under normal circumstances, if the professors don't intervene, these vampires will definitely be able to slaughter the students and residents who are now using bats as targets to bombard.
But that's just the general case. In fact, because of the Eye of Sauron, even if some bats want to cross the line to attack the students, they will be immediately blasted into debris the moment it crosses the warning barrier......
It was with this in mind that Xiwei ordered the attack on the other side - since you have come to this academy, you must also let us enter some landlord friendship.
The bats could only start flying around, trying to dodge the raindrops of magic attacks.
…,
This also made the previously orderly formation suddenly chaotic. But because the sky is full of bats. The students' hit rate is also starting to rise by more than a percentage point.
Later, some students began to think that such a bomb was inefficient, in fact, attacks such as the Magic Missile Secondary Fireball Technique would explode, and many times there would be two or three explosion areas overlapping together.
As a result, led by a small number of people, the students and residents began to cooperate with each other in a youthful manner, forming a combat style similar to that of the musket team 'lining up to shoot'.
This is also one of the easiest ways to work with a magician. Not only can it maximize the utilization of the attack range, but it can also take care of the weak mages to be able to catch their breath. Doesn't draw directly from mental overload due to continuous casting—a phenomenon that is often seen in some mages who are new to the battlefield......
"These three classes of students will definitely become very good magicians after graduation." Mrs. Lauren came to Sivi at some point.
Most of the academics are nesting in the mage tower doing all kinds of research, and even if they are experienced, they only bring a few mages to follow. When they encounter monsters, let them go on top to make meat shields, and hide behind them to collect people's heads. But that's it. The vast majority of mages have no experience working with other mages, let alone the thousands of mages (although most of them are mage apprentices) fighting together like today.
Madame Lauren, who had been on the battlefield with Head Bruno, knew how valuable this experience was to her students. She looked at the young professor, and the mystery on Sivi's body grew stronger.
Ordinary people must think of a way to break the siege after being besieged, but he did the opposite, taking the initiative to attack the besieged side, and judging from the results, this kind of action is quite effective!
It's a pity that he is only a temporary guest secretary, not a permanent professor of Julianne. Mrs. Lauren sighed to herself. If Sivi is really the resident professor of the Lyrian, then she may be able to see the Lylian National Academy of Magic rush to the top three in her lifetime.
"Many people gather together to be called a nation, but what about many magicians gathered?" Xiwei looked at the hot scene under the mountain city, and the corners of his mouth involuntarily showed a smile and muttered, "I think, that must be the place called the Academy of Magic." ”
Mrs. Lauren looked at Sivi with a strange expression, but this time Sivi did not continue, but changed her words and began to walk towards the castle: "Since there is nothing to do outside, we should focus on the castle." ”
