Chapter 60 - Fire Leaves
After the body was healed by the bonfire, Lu Ming and the three of them explored the fire sacrifice ground a little, and then went directly back to the fortress. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
The darkness was killed by Lu Ming and turned into a fire, which was absorbed by him, allowing him to be directly forcibly promoted to a fourth-order magister. It's just that at this time, Lu Ming, even a fifth-order great mage, is unlikely to be able to beat him, so many people think that he is directly regarded as a fifth-order great mage.
The Tower of the Fire Girl outside the Fire Sacrifice Ground, because it was protected by some kind of power, Lu Ming and the three of them had no way to open it, so Lu Ming and the three of them found nothing in the Fire Sacrifice Ground except for finding a greedy silver snake ring. But after Darkness's death, two king's salaries appeared on the five thrones in the Fire Sacrifice Arena, namely those of Jum the Giant and Rudoth the Vault Dweller.
This made Lu Ming very puzzled, but without the slightest clue, Lu Ming couldn't figure out why.
Back at the fortress, Lu Ming was called over by the two archdukes and asked him what he had encountered and found in the fire sacrifice ground.
After listening to Lu Ming's account of many things being cut, Archduke Raels said, "Since it is the place where you and Lothric said that the fire is spreading, then why did you summon here?" Is it because you were the one who summoned the fortress? ”
"I don't know the specifics, but maybe that's it." Lu Ming himself didn't know why the Fire Transmission Sacrifice Ground was summoned here, so he could only say that he didn't know the reason.
Seeing that Lu Ming really didn't know the reason, he himself was wondering why the fire festival ground was summoned, so the two grand dukes asked him to find a room in the fortress to sleep well, from four o'clock in the morning until now, Lu Ming has not rested, plus he only slept for three or four hours at night, he should also go to rest. After all, it's already evening, and no matter who it is, it won't be able to withstand it like this.
In this way, Lu Ming quickly left the room where the Grand Dukes were. It's just that when he left here, Lu Ming obviously noticed that the Grand Dukes had a trace of concern about him, and he didn't have the closeness he had in the past period of time. It's as if someone had said bad things about them and they did believe it.
Although this didn't have any effect on Lu Ming, he was still a little unhappy.
"Is someone targeting me? Royalty or someone from another principality? Or ......" After a moment of silence, Lu Ming met with the two daughters, Raman Rasi and Chimera, casually found a room in the commander's rest area, and moved in.
Falling on the bed all of a sudden, Lu Ming narrowed his eyes happily, and let Raman Lace and Chimera help him take off his clothes and drag them to the bed. The long journey and the portrayal of the magic array had already made him very tired, and he had almost only slept for a short time at night, so after a fight with the darkness, he was already too tired to do anything, and now he just wanted to sleep well.
However, at this moment, Raman Lasi, who was lying on his right side, suddenly said, "Lu Ming, I heard some rumors when you were called by the Grand Dukes. It is said that someone has informed the Grand Dukes that you have deliberately summoned the Fire Transmission Altar in order to spread the curse of the undead in Mirakaisa and Alpha. ”
"Do you know who said that?" Hearing this, Lu Ming couldn't help frowning, and asked a little angrily.
"Seems to be the guy from Tadarims." At this time, Chimera suddenly spoke: "I also heard about it, so I went to ask Winslant, but she was only able to tell me that it was a member of the royal family who was very close to us. So I guess it's just him. After all, he is the only one who has a better relationship with us. ”
"Probably. But it could also be someone else. Lu Ming thought for a moment before he said.
To be honest, it's not that he doesn't believe Winsland, it's that the person who slandered in front of the Grand Dukes wasn't necessarily Tadarimus, a guy who seemed to be much better than the rest of the royal family. Although it is said that the precaution should still be guarded against him......
After chatting a little about this matter, Lu Ming and the three fell asleep. When they opened their eyes again and woke up, it was already the next day.
-----------------------------------
At eight o'clock in the morning, Alpha's Fire Leaf Guards arrived on the Plains of Azetus.
Looking at the fortress and a mountain full of cliffs that they don't know where they came from, the soldiers of the fire leaf looked very confused, in their memory, this should be a plain, there should not be such a mountain and a fortress built on the mountain.
However, the commander of the Fire Leaf, Aragosana, knew that it was summoned from the territory of Mirakaisa by the Mirakaisa with summoning magic to block their elves. But she didn't know which mountain this towering mountain was in Mirakesa.
But it doesn't matter. Isn't it?
"Give the order to go down and camp on the spot! We're going to fight the Mirakesa here for a long time! Duke Aragosana, who had a lot of experience in combat, immediately said to his adjutant without hesitation after seeing the fortress of Mirakesa.
The soldiers, who had thought they would be able to quickly take a captured city to set up camp, cursed the Mirakesa army and camped with the wood and cloth that their troops had carried on the march.
Living in a military tent is not as comfortable as living in a city, so for the soldiers of Fire Leaf, the Mirakaisa Army is a very annoying group of enemies.
It's just that they also understand very well that the Mirakesa army summons mountains and fortresses, after all, they have two or three hundred thousand elves, and the Mirakesa only have more than a hundred thousand, and the field battle can't defeat them at all. Therefore, it is normal to choose to summon fortresses and use strong walls to defend against their attacks.
After the soldiers had put up their tents one by one, Alagosana used magic in her tent to find out what was going on in the fortress and on the mountain. It turned out that all the soldiers of the Mirakesar army were in the fortress, and there was not a single soldier on the high mountain. It's just that on top of that mountain, there is a building that can exude an extremely special power, which shields her magic, so that she has no way to explore its interior.
"What exactly is this building for? Why is it here? After several attempts to fail to probe its interior, Aragosana said to herself with a frown.
The power of this construction was strange to her, but she quickly lost interest in it after determining that magic could not detect it. After all, the priority now is to capture the fortress, not to study this building, which may only be the entrance and exit of a certain mausoleum.
"Lord Duke, there is an elf who wants to see you!" At this moment, one of Aragosana's guards suddenly walked in and said to him.
Hearing this, Alagosana frowned slightly, thinking to herself that at this time, who would come to her? However, she did not think deeply about this issue and quickly said, "Let him in." ”
"Yes." The guards bowed back, and soon an elf wearing a cloak and hood walked in.
"What's your name? Have we met somewhere? As soon as she saw this elf, Alagosana couldn't help but feel a sense of familiarity, and couldn't help but ask.
"I didn't expect you to forget about me." The elf smiled coldly and lowered the hood from his head.
Suddenly, Alagosana was taken aback and asked a little unimaginablely, "Strisa?" How did you become like this? What did they do to you? ”
Yes, this elf is the former commander of the Bloodleaf Guard, Strithrisa Magkhara. It's just that she is no longer beautiful and beautiful before, now her skin is dry, her face is full of wrinkles, and her clear eyes have become cloudy, like a witch, looking evil and terrifying.
Seeing that Aragosana, a former political enemy, knew that she cared about herself, but her past hair was small but ignored herself, Strilisa couldn't help but feel a little sad.
There was silence for a while before Striissa spoke, "I'm here to help you." ”
"Help me?" Hearing Strisa's words, Alagosana couldn't help but be stunned, and then asked, "Are you here to help me subdue the occupied area?" ”
"Yes and no. I'm here to help you, but subduing the areas occupied by the Mirakesa is only part of it. Strilisa nodded, then shook her head again.
"What do you mean?"
Strylisa walked up to Alagosana and sat down, grabbed Aragosana's hand with her originally silky and delicate, but now extremely rough hand, smiled slightly, and said, "Didn't you always want our empress to die?" I'll help you now, kill her! ”
"Looks like they've gone too far with you. Let you, the most loyal elf to the Empress, become our ally! Aragosana, who wanted the Empress to let her leave the Imperial Capital with the Fire Leaf Guards more than any elf, couldn't help but laugh when she heard the words of her former political enemy. Immediately afterward, Aragosana grabbed Strixa's hand in turn and said, "But now that you are safe, no one can hurt you anymore!" ”
"Yes! I can only be safe and sound under your protection......"
-----------------------------------
At three o'clock in the afternoon, the Fire Leaf Guards began to attack the fortress summoned by Lu Ming and others.
Unlike the previous Alpha's army, Huoye's combat effectiveness is terrifying, and there are dozens of slaves of the Giant Clan in the vanguard alone. As a result, Lu Ming's side can only use a large number of ballistas to fire dragon hunting thunder arrows and hunting giant arrows created by the (hunter) organization to suppress these giant clans who are immune to magic damage.
However, under Lu Ming's Yang Star Thunder Disaster, these giant clans were also still vulnerable.
"Magicians attack magic with a wide area! The priest shot the elves with a thunderbolt for me! While using magic to bombard the elven soldiers, Raman Rath was directing the knights of Yugsotus to fight back.
The powerful archery skills, as well as the large number of giant clans, made the coalition forces on Lu Ming and the others' side feel the pressure of the past, and many soldiers were also injured by the arrows of the soldiers of the fire leaf.
In the past, when they defended the city, they sacrificed very little in exchange for the lives of a large number of Alpha soldiers, but this time, things are completely opposite. Some of the soldiers of the motley army, under the terrifying archery skills of the Fire Leaf Guard, could not rise to the top at all, otherwise they would be killed by an arrow. Only armies such as Yugsotus and Deucalion that have the ability to equip expensive enchanted armor and defend themselves against arrows to a certain extent will be able to fight back.
But the soldiers of the Fire Leaf Guards hid behind the giants one by one, and used the thick-skinned giants to block the attack of the Mirakaisa coalition, and quickly rushed to the fortress, set up the siege ladder, and rushed to the city wall.
As a result, the attacks of the Mirakesa coalition were rarely effective, while the attacks of Alpha's Fire Leaf Guards were often able to shoot and kill a lot of the miscellaneous soldiers of the Mirakesa coalition army, causing heavy casualties on the Mirakesa side.
"Lu Ming, is there any way you can make those soul attacks weaker?" Hiding behind the battlement wall, Winsland shot Ifa with a flintlock pistol, but after each shot, she would be forced back behind the battlement wall by the attack of the soldiers of the Fire Leaf Guard, and over time, she couldn't help but be a little annoyed, and couldn't help but ask Lu Ming.
"Yes, but it's useless for the giants!" Lu Ming, who was not far away, hid behind the battlement wall and shouted to Winsland after killing three or four giants with the Yang Star Thunder Plague.
"Then use it! Leave those giants alone!! Hearing this, Winsland immediately shouted.
Although it is said that those ballistas that shoot dragon hunting thunder arrows and hunting giant arrows can't kill a giant clan in twenty shots, but under their constant shooting, the giant clan can't quickly get close to the fortress, so instead of wasting the combat power of Lu Ming, a magic master, on those giant clans who can't help but think about it for the time being, it is better to let him vent his magic on those Alpha elves!
Hearing Winsland's shout, Lu Ming immediately stopped his work of using the Yang Star Thunder Plague to bombard the Giant Clan, and instead began the method of casting magic spells, using a wide range of elemental magic.
Suddenly, a fierce wind rose and smashed sand mixed with magic on the soldiers of the Fire Leaf Guard, and the dense sandstorm made it impossible for them to use their bows and arrows to attack the Mira Kaisa coalition forces on the walls of the fortress for a while.
Seeing this, Raman Lass, Winsland, Hemfeth, Farisias, Cassie and others immediately shouted, "Everyone attack with all their might!" ”
In an instant, everyone on the city wall stood up from behind the battlement wall and launched an unimaginable offensive against the soldiers of the fire leaf.
But after this round of attacks, a sandstorm also blew on the fortress, so that Lu Ming and the others had no way to attack the soldiers of Huoye well.
However, relying on a little research on the crystallization magic of the White Dragon Hiss, Lu Ming was able to participate in a little crystallization power in some earth-based elemental magic, so the ordinary sandstorm scraped on the fortress wall, but under the fortress wall, it was a crystallized sandstorm.
When the crystallized dust hits the Fireleaf Guard soldiers and their Giant slaves, they will crystallize them, and once the crystals spread over their bodies, they will be cursed by the power of the crystals. But before that, crystallized sandstorms were no different from ordinary sandstorms, they could only smash their bodies and make them unable to open their eyes.
As two sandstorms raged across the city walls, the battle gradually turned into a contest between Lu Ming and Huoye's magicians for magic power and understanding of magic. Once one side is defeated, the other side will attack mercilessly! So both of them gritted their teeth and kept casting the magic of sandstorm, waiting for the other party to stop casting spells when they couldn't hold it first.
But it took a lot of time, and some of the soldiers on both sides couldn't stand the battle......
