Chapter 57: The Battle for Mithril
When Cecil learned that Bosa's teacher died of natural causes and was not harmed by demons, he had a new understanding of demons, and it seemed that demons were not desperate and cruel, and they also knew how to use them with tenderness for their useful humans. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 infoThe three demon mages just now are obviously cunning, and the far-reaching demons don't seem to be as easy to deal with as they imagined.
"Do you have anything else in stock besides this Mithril?" Cecil asked, if he could, if he wanted to miss anything of value
"My lord, this is more than 60 years of production!." Bosa said in horror, deeply disturbed by Cecil's lack of greed
"The demon has been keeping this Mithril here for 60 years?" Cecil obviously couldn't imagine that the demon could be so stupid.
"Several demon lords have been arguing over how to distribute these mythril, so no one dares to touch these mythril for so many years, otherwise it may set off a fire, recently the various kingdoms of the human race have suddenly increased the strength around the demon gate, the lord may be afraid that this vein will be discovered, so today these three adults came to transport the mythril away, ...........I didn't expect it" Bosa said this and didn't say any more, and glanced at Cecil silently.
I didn't expect to be robbed by myself before I could transport it away, Cecil couldn't help but be secretly surprised and happy, surprised that such a rich vein didn't expect that 60 years could only produce such a little Mithril, it seems that Mithril is really the most precious resource in this continent, fortunately I was fortunate to arrive even if I arrived, otherwise I might not be able to get so much Mithril in my life.
At this time, Anne suddenly sensed that there were troops coming from the direction of Solo City, and Cecil hurriedly met them, and after walking a short distance, she saw that Count Cassikud was rushing here with Yellen and Sanders and 200 warriors.
Count Cassikud was also very excited after getting Sanders' report, there are some things that people at Cecil's level may not know, but the Count knows very well in his heart that Mithril is the resource that the kingdom is in urgent need of now, whether it is Cabrada or the kingdom and other countries are buying Mithril at a high price, of course, not with money, but with various scarce strategic materials, and even recently Cabrada did not hesitate to sell the high-level spell scrolls that he had been prohibiting from selling in exchange for Mithril.
Although Mithril has always been a scarce strategic resource, it has never been more sought-after than in the recent period, and although the Count doesn't know why the higher-ups suddenly need so much Mithril for something, the Count certainly wants to make a difference in this area if possible. So as soon as he heard Sanders' report, he immediately rushed here with all his elite troops.
Cecil's report made Count Cassikud overjoyed, and he couldn't help but wipe out all the defenders here, and more importantly, he actually got 4 boxes of Mithril in stock, although Cecil couldn't estimate it, but the Count clearly knew their value, any mage guild or even Cabrada or even the temple would be crazy about this amount of Mithril, even in the entire kingdom, there were only 3 Mithril mines, and the quality of the veins was far inferior here, and the trading units of Mithril were calculated by grams. It is self-evident what so much Mithril means to the upper echelons of the kingdom who are in dire need of acquisition.
Cecil reported to the Earl as soon as the Count was likely that the demons would have strong reinforcements arrive, and the Earl felt that he had to retreat as soon as possible in order to avoid a long night's dream, and Sanders did not say that there was a ready-made Mithril to be transported, so the Count and his party were all light horses. No carriage was brought, but the Count did not hesitate to put his horse on the carriage, and the whole team immediately retreated.
After the earl's team retreated for about half an hour, the demonic troops rushed here, this 1500-strong force consisted of 1000 blade demons, 200 elite blade demons and 300 bloodthirsty demons, and there were 9 9-order demon mages in the team, according to legend, the demon mages were 12 spell-casting teams, just enough to cast large-scale demonic magic, it seems that the three demon mages killed by Cecil happened to be members of this team.
Leading the team is a Blade Demon. The skin of this blade demon is more bright red than the average elite blade demon, and the whole body feels full of strength, even his skin seems to be about to burst open by this endless power, and the most amazing thing is that the blade growing on his arm is actually golden! This is not only a powerhouse of the Sacred Domain Rank, the level is at least 130 or above, and it is even close to the threshold of Legendary. He saw the corpses of his companions all over the ground, and then saw the empty warehouses, and he didn't know if it was for the death of his companions, or for the loss of Mithril, or even for the simple resentment of the humans who had attacked it, the bladed demon roared to the sky and let out a chilling wail into the air.
The penetrating power of this wail was extremely amazing, and the Earl's party, who had been some distance away from here, even heard this wail, and listened to the power of unwillingness and anger in this voice, the Earl's face changed, and he hurriedly urged the people to hurry up and rush to Solo City, and finally arrived at Solo City before dark.
After returning to the city, the first thing the Earl did was to send Yellen to inform the king that he had obtained the news of Mithril, believing that the king would definitely send a strong force to Solo City to get it, Solo City is on the salient part of the battlefield, like a sharp knife inserted into the opponent's large position, so he was able to rush forward and found the Mithril vein that the other party thought was in the rear. Therefore, the earl did not dare to send personnel to transport it himself, and only the strong man sent by the king to transport it was reassuring and could also get rid of his unnecessary responsibilities. At the same time, it also gave Yellen a chance to meet the king, and it is not impossible for the king to look at Yellen with such good news and add a gift to her.
There is also the immediate strengthening of the city's defenses. Before the arrival of the king's transport troops, it is always necessary to prevent the demons from attacking the city in order to recapture the Mithril, but fortunately, Solo City is different from Wharton City after all, although it is a small city and there are almost no inhabitants, but the city originally established as a war fortress still has a certain advantage in defending the city. The poisonous water moat, the stumbling horses and cables are all available, and the stone smashing tools in the city and the mouton oil are also complete. Now you need to be more prepared to defend the city, in case the demon dog jumps over the wall and attacks the city.
The Earl was not wrong at all, Yellen had just left the city, and the army led by the bladed demon in front of him had already come to the city of Solo, whether it was for demons or humans, Mithril was an extremely precious strategic item, and if you lost it, you must definitely get it back. What's more, having lost so many blade demon troops in the battle just now, the dead demons of the same clan may not care, but they care about their dignity.
The leader of the bladed demon with the golden scythe, Maldez, did not hesitate to order the troops to attack, and he would never give his opponent too many opportunities to prepare.
With a wave of his hand, all the bloodthirsty demons jumped into the moat. The moat was a poisonous river with a high degree of poison at this time, but the Bloodthirsty Demon was not affected in the slightest. This low-level demon with only level 20 is immune to any poison attack. On the contrary, their blood is the most poisonous and highly toxic for humans. Soon, arrows were shot from above the city, and the low-ranking Bloodthirsty Demons fell to the ground after being hit by this magnitude. Their blood stained the entire moat.
The city of Solo is surrounded by walls on all sides, but as a fortress city, a gate was built for military purposes, and the nine demon mages in the demon team have begun to chant, and a huge magic circle rises from the ground. A huge meteorite formed in the sky above and smashed towards the city gate with violent speed. The moment it smashed into the city gate, the meteorite exploded completely, creating a powerful shock wave.
This is an enlarged version of the Meteor Shower, as a small fortress, the gates of Solo City do not have any magic charms on them, and the old wooden doors have collapsed most of them after this blow. Immediately, the Blade Demon went up and slashed the remaining doors. And the nine demon mages all frowned, after three people were missing, they couldn't form a real twelve-pointed star magic array, and the power of this meteor fire rain was much smaller, otherwise not only this gate, but even the section of the city wall next to the door would probably be blown up.
Seeing that there were more and more blade demons gathered at the gate of half of the city, a powerful thunder was directly shot down from the city wall, and this time Anne cast a spell from above the city gate, and the power of the thunder was even more powerful. The dozen or so bladed demons gathered at the door went to meet the Grim Reaper. Even the Earl was a little shocked by this blow, but he didn't expect Anne's strength to be so strong.
Seeing this, Maldez was furious, and personally rushed to the city gate to face the city gate, and under his blade slashing, the old city gate did not fall down, at this time, countless arrows from the city tower shot at him, and Anne also sent a large fireball to him, but for these arrows, Maldez did not even look at it, and directly slashed at Anne's fireball.
When the entire fireball was slashed, it exploded, and a huge shockwave swept out the powerhouse of this holy order, this holy domain level blade demon never expected that he would be deflated by the hands of a sixth-order magician, although the damage was minimal, but his self-esteem was greatly damaged. Malediz jumped up with a loud shout, and jumped up the wall several meters high at once, and slashed with his sword, and several archers in front of the tower were killed immediately when they came into contact with the sword qi. Having gained a foothold on the wall, Malediz immediately rushed towards Anne.
