;

The city of Celeste fell.

The capital of the Wizard Kingdom has finally been broken by the army of Enros.

The magicians were finally unable to stop the onslaught of the Enros.

Although the Enros people have paid a huge number of casualties for this, however, after all, taking it is conquering, this famous magician city that once shone in the southwest of the continent has long since lost its former demeanor, broken streets, collapsed magic towers, the remains of magical creatures everywhere, and the same staggering number of corpses of various races, as well as the fires caused by magic attacks everywhere, and the smoke rising into the sky, making the city completely lifeless, it looks like a dead city, If it weren't for the fact that there were still a large number of Enlos troops active.

In fact, Celeste City should not have fallen so quickly, the command of the Immortal King was not wrong, the combat power in the city was still sufficient, and the magic used to defend the city was also amazing.

But the problem is that people's hearts are scattered.

The magicians of Bracada are really a very contradictory group, on the one hand, they are tireless in exploring the mysteries of magic, determined and resolute, on the other hand, they are extremely cautious in other things, and they have a gentleman's demeanor that does not stand under the wall, which can be clearly reflected from the performance of the Bracada Magician Legion on the battlefield, when the situation is favorable, fighting a good battle is what they are best at and most loved, but if the situation is unfavorable and falls into a bitter battle, They are often the first to collapse on the battlefield.

Magnus, the Immortal King, is also helpless about this, he is not a master in the first place. It's only because of the immortal body that he has today's achievements, and he himself is also a magician, and he doesn't approve of magicians fighting for their lives on the battlefield, in his opinion, every magician is the kingdom's precious property and combat power, and it is of course good not to lose, it is not easy to cultivate a qualified magician who can go to the battlefield, not to mention, in addition to fighting, these magicians are also an important productive force of the kingdom. Without them. Where did the kingdom's magical creatures and magic items come from?

So Magnus treats the Bracada wizards quite well, but now it seems that he has a feeling of shooting himself in the foot, because he is in a critical situation. It was these magicians who turned their backs on him first.

It has to be said. Magnus may indeed be a genius when it comes to magic. But his military prowess was far from satisfactory, and he was so obsessed with finding the Paradise Foundry that he repeatedly made mistakes in the general strategic direction. As a result, not only did they fail repeatedly on the battlefield, but they also made the Bracada Kingdom make enemies everywhere on the continent and completely isolate.

Especially after the war with the Entagri Empire, the Bracada army was even more defeated in successive battles, and a series of defeats had long since Magnus lost his prestige, which also made the magicians' hearts fluctuate and they were extremely war-weary.

Esther is an important minister on the defending side of the Bracada Kingdom, and the right-hand man of the Immortal King Magnus, but at the critical moment, he resolutely betrayed the kingdom, betrayed the Immortal King, threw himself into the arms of the Enroth people, and received the Enroth army to attack the hinterland of Bracada in one fell swoop. How could the Bracada army be defeated and beaten directly under the royal city?

The situation is so bad, but the Immortal King has not been able to come up with corresponding countermeasures for a long time, just blindly sticking to it, and there is an example like Esthell, so there is no need to say what kind of thoughts the magicians will have in their hearts.

And there is also a very important point, that is, there is such a presence as Archibald in the Enroth Empire.

In the wizarding world, the status of the immortal king Magnus is undoubtedly unshakable, the absolute first person in magic, but there are some special reasons for this, such as Magnus's immortal body, such a long life, it is not a very amazing thing that Magnus has such an amazing magical attainment.

Human psychology is always very subtle, so secretly, when magicians evaluate the outstanding magicians of the day, they will always tacitly exclude Magnus.

Archibald is undoubtedly an outstanding magician, as early as the years before the Enroth Empire's succession war, the young Archibald was already the grandmaster of dark magic, although he was later defeated and sealed with petrified magic, after his comeback, his strength did not decrease but increased, and he once became the leader of the Diya necromancers, and he was recognized by the necromancers, and the strength of his necromancer magic can be imagined, and it is rumored that Archibald is actually the grandmaster of several magic now.

What's even more amazing is that Akibald's talent is not limited to the realm of magic, in politics, military, and diplomacy, Akibald's performance is also good, which can be fully reflected in the fact that he almost killed Roland, became Emperor Enroth, and briefly ruled Deya, etc.

This is a figure that exists only in legends, and it is also the pride of magicians, and more importantly, his brilliance is not based on immortality and long life, but on his own real ability.

In the Kingdom of Bracada, there are also many magicians who secretly respect Akibald, and some people have secretly befriended him, such as Eschel.

There were also some Bracada mages who believed that if it weren't for the existence of the Immortal King Magnus, the most qualified person to rule the kingdom of magicians would not be a second person other than Archibald.

If it weren't for the idea of the Immortal King, maybe someone would have wooed Archibald to join the Kingdom of Bracada.

Now, after a long silence, Archibbad, who had been missing for a long time, reappeared in the sight of the Bracada magicians, because Archibald was in the army of Enroth, and he was now the prince of the Enroth Empire, and the title of Master of Magic in the Imperial Court, not only responsible for presiding over all the magical affairs of the Enroth Empire, but now he was also the ambassador of the Enlos Empire to the Bracada Kingdom.

Roland was a character after all, and he saw one of the biggest weaknesses of the kingdom of Bracada and took the right measures.

With a figure like Archibald to persuade him to surrender, plus all the benefits promised by the other party, and even the ambition that was vaguely revealed in his words, many Bracada magicians were tempted.

As a result, after Esthell, in addition to many ordinary magicians, many heavyweight Bracada magicians gave up their allegiance to the Immortal King one after another, and turned against each other and joined the camp of the Enroth Empire.

It was precisely because of the betrayal of these magicians that the originally seemingly impregnable city of Celeste became full of loopholes, and was finally defeated by the army of Enlos.

But the war didn't end there.

Although the army of Enroth has captured the city of Celeste, there are still a considerable number of Bracada mages and magical creatures loyal to Magnus who are dead to defend their last line of defense, the city within a city in the center of the city, the magic fortress of the Immortal King, and the Castle of Radiance.

"It's just a dying struggle!"

Standing on the majestic walls of Celeste, looking at the glorious castle in the distance, Roland was in high spirits, and he was very dismissive of Magnus's stubborn resistance, and made such an assessment.

He does have the capital to say such a thing, Enlos Emperor has a great country, although there is no forbidden demon artifact such as the forbidden demon ball dragon king's divine power, but some forbidden demon treasures are still there, and now, these treasures have been transferred to the front line and are used to attack the Radiant Castle.

"If you can't play your full strength, what's the use of Magnus no matter how strong it is? And war is not something that can change the outcome of a war by relying on personal strength, although Magnus has an immortal body, he is not a god after all! ”

He said this to his brother who was standing beside him.

"And I have your help, Archibald! I'm sure you're no worse than Magnus! If it weren't for the fear that this old immortal guy would escape, even if I sent you directly to fight, I would be confident that I would defeat him! ”

Archibald smiled, but he smiled modestly and kept enough respect for his brother: "It's better to be safe, Magnus is still very strong, I may not be able to defeat him, anyway, he has nearly a thousand years more time than me to learn the mysteries of magic!" ”

Turning his head to look at Archibald, the smile on Roland's face was even worse: "Actually, you don't have to be so restrained, my brother, you rescued me from the Kerrigans, and helped me defeat Bracada, no matter what Catherine thinks of you, I always believe you!" What I promised you, I will definitely do! When the war is over, I will naturally set out to find the Heavenly Foundry, and you can get the secret of immortality from Magnus with peace of mind, and our brothers can definitely recreate the glory of the Age of Miracles! ”

Archibald smiled again, and was about to answer, but a figure that had descended from the sky onto the city wall caught the attention of the two of them: a magician liaison officer of the Enroth Army, who was responsible for delivering important and urgent news and documents to Roland.

He brought a special piece of news for Roland.

"Your Majesty, Magnus has sent a messenger for peace!" )
