When Kyoto Castle's defensive magic barrier was raised, the Desik's attack had to stop.

The magical mask that shone with a blue streamer made even the dullest Desiks realize it was the power of magic. During the Continental Wars, the magicians of Dark Rising helped the Deschiks fight many times, and their magic was used to break through enemy lines, transmit messages, or intimidate people. It's just that this is the first time, and they finally realize that the most powerful magical power existing on this continent actually comes from the other side, the city they want to break.

Mysterious court magicians, they are basically a magical organization in the same vein as the Magic Empire, and they have a record of all the advanced magic that remains in the Magic Empire. This blue magical barrier was nothing more than a pile of old papers that the court magicians had turned over.

It's just that in the Red Envelope City, there are constantly guards who move some blue, green, and yellow shiny crystals out of the underground dark room and throw them into the pentagram surrounded by magicians.

"Merlin, these hedrons have been treasured by the royal family for so many years. After the San Jose royal family won the war with the Magic Empire, in addition to the throne, these magic crystals can be said to be the biggest gain. For many years, we have given court magicians a small amount of research each year. This time, it's all consumed here, and I still feel a little ......" It was the Emperor of Benin who spoke, and he didn't know when he had come down from the tower above.

Merlin also came to the room, "My Majesty, it's just expediency. As long as we hold out until Count Mosicke comes back, then maybe there will be some leftover of these hedrons, don't worry. ”

Benin also knew that Merlin was telling the truth, but his eyes were a little painful no matter how he looked at it. The Magic Empire's craft of developing hedrons has been lost, and when Kyoto Castle was being built, the Imperial Family dug out several secret vaults from the ground to store hedrons. Over the years, in order to envelop court magicians, the royal family has continuously provided them with hedrons. Although this is the largest hedron warehouse in the Red Keep, it is also the last, and according to the normal consumption of previous years, this warehouse can still be used by court magicians for hundreds of years.

But in order to maintain the huge blue magic barrier outside Kyoto, Merlin asked the royal family to provide all the hedras for consumption, and the Emperor of Benin had to do the same.

The Desiks outside the city were also using their brains, but no matter how much they tried, they eventually discovered that the magical enchantment was special. As long as it is not a living thing, whether it is a bow or an arrow or a stone bullet from a trebuchet, it can easily leap over the magical barrier and damage the soldiers of San Jose, but even an unarmed soldier cannot pass through the walls.

The magical enchantment clings to Kyoto Castle like a lid. The Desik even started to dig the tunnel, but the soldiers of the two squadrons worked hard for most of the night, digging fifteen grams into the ground, and they still saw the blue barrier buried deep in the soil in despair.

"General, it can't go on like this. "After a day of trying to do everything, the Desiks had to give up. The adjutant reported to General Manstein with helplessness in his tone.

"It seems that yes, this magic barrier is too terrifying, people can't send it in, even if you send 10,000 bows and arrows into it, it won't do much damage. General Manstein stared worriedly at the distant city wall, and the San Jose soldiers, who had seen the Desiks charging yesterday, were still pale, but they were all in high spirits. Some of the brave soldiers even climbed up to the city wall and urinated on the Desik people outside the wall, which was not without insults.

Holding back his anger, Manstein took a pair of bows and arrows from his lieutenant's hand, and as soon as he took aim, a cold light flew towards the city wall, and when the lightning was not enough, the same cold light flashed, and a saber flew and knocked the arrow away. The soldier just now, his legs weakened with fright, and he fell from the city wall and fell to the ground. When he got up and looked, it turned out to be the old general Lineker, and at the last moment, he threw his weapon, which was able to block Manstein's arrow.

Without saying a word, General Lineker's lieutenants glanced at the officer on the wall, who hurried forward to help the soldier away. Lineker picked up his sword, picked up the bow and arrow of the downed Desik, and then dismissively dropped the bow and arrow off the wall.

The arrow fell weakly down the city, and the guards on the walls of the city burst into cheers. "Hmph!" Manstein spat at the city, "Count your fate!" and did not speak, turning the wolf's head back to his army. Lineker, on the city wall, had no joy at all.

Unbeknownst to the soldiers, they were all thrilled to see this blue magic shield, and the court magicians gave them endless confidence, and under such a magic that was absolutely shielded from the Deciks, it seemed that every ordinary soldier had become much braver. At this time, Lineker did not dare to tell them that according to the estimate provided by the Grand Magister Merlin, the magic shield could last for three days. By the fourth day, when the blue sun rises into the sky, they will lose the protection of the magical barrier.

The Emperor of Benin did not dare to tell the soldiers the truth, but he had to tell the truth to the commander on the wall, General Lineker. Lineker knew the timeline of three days, and had been looking north from the city walls. "Mosik, Mosik, how long will it take you to deal with the Desiks in front of you......"

In the Kursk province, at the headquarters of the San Jose Army outside Lausanne, the commander-in-chief of the front, the Minister of War Mosick, was sitting at the table with a solemn face, beside the newly arrived Chief of Staff, General Montgomery, and the commander of the Guards, Viscount Slim.

The information on the attack on Kyoto Castle and the latest orders of the Imperial Council arrived at the camp almost one after the other. At first glance, Count Mosik, who saw the information, was so shocked that he almost fainted. Edward VI on the other side really dared to fight for his life, and dealing with those Desiks who didn't want to die in the past few days had almost exhausted all of Mosik's energy. He was still wondering how these Deciks were struggling to cope with the last battle.

Unexpectedly, they were actually just using countless lives to make a feint, and the real target was actually Kyoto City.

"Archmage Merlin's plan, it seems, seems to be very feasible. Viscount Slim on the side also read the order of the Imperial Council, "If the magic enchantment can really withstand more than three days as he said, we will draw some troops from the front line and make a detour south to attack the Desik cavalry besieging the city." and the guards of Kyoto Castle flanked them one after the other. If they can defeat all of Desik's cavalry and lose their ability to maneuver, I don't think they even have the possibility of crossing the river. ”

General Montgomery was also studying the order, looking at the map from time to time before sighing, "I have to say, this plan is quite mature. At the heart of the plan is Kyoto City's magical enchantment, which lasts for three days. Since the Imperial Council has given us an order, it shows that they absolutely trust Merlin, and he said that if he can block it for three days, he will definitely be able to block it for three days. ”

"Yes!" said Count Mosick, turning his head at Slim, "all the Guards cavalry will be taken with you, and you will be drawn from the various armies." I'll give you 5,000 people to sneak up on the Desik's fart~ shares, can you accomplish this goal and fulfill the expectations of the Imperial Council?"

Viscount Slim thought for a moment, "If it's indeed a sneak attack, I think there's a good chance of success." ”

Count Mosik was not reluctant to send more troops. However, the core of the plan was that there were only three days to maneuver, which meant that on the eve of the red sun on the fourth day, the San Jose cavalry, which had come from a long and rapid march, had to be thrown into battle. This determined that the few thousand cavalry remaining in the battalion at present were the only forces that could realize this plan. Moreover, the feints prepared by the Desiks do not seem to stop at all. Those Desiks did not spare their lives at all, and they could only survive for a few minutes when they rushed to the position, and they still rushed from the opposite side in an endless stream.

The San Jose people were not easy either, and in the face of these fighting methods, many San Jose soldiers died on the battlefield before they had time to react. On this front, which is about 100 miles wide, fierce battles are breaking out in almost every land. Count Mosik had no way of drawing troops from it, knowing that the last reserve of the large battalion had been sent to the eastern defense line near Momiji Town not long ago.

Now in the hands of Count Mosick, only a small number of wounded soldiers remained.

In addition to the battlefield in the north, in fact, inside San Jose, there is another military force that is also frantically rushing towards Kyoto City, that is, the Western Border Guards. The sentinels, who detected the movement of the Desikhs on the banks of the Colorado River, reported to the command of the Western Frontier Army at the first moment. But three days have passed since General Wendell, who was far away in Leicester City, ordered an attack. After the western frontier guards detected the enemy's heading east to Kyoto Castle, they hurriedly gathered all their cavalry and arima troops and followed the enemy in a frenzy.

Even so, they were more than three days away from the Desik cavalry. Along the way, General Wendell saw many outposts of the local garrison that had been breached by the Desiks, and many soldiers were still lying on the battlefield wailing and waiting for help. Wendell felt a pang of annoyance in his heart, this war has gradually dragged the originally wealthy San Jose into the quagmire, and these Desiks must be punished for what they have done. While thinking, he fiercely pumped the war horse under his crotch, "Hurry up, hurry up." ”

All forces are converging towards the castle of Kyoto, and the Desiks under the castle are also doing their best, trying every means to break the protection of the magical barrier. It's not that they don't want to evacuate, General Manstein knows very well that if the city of Kyoto cannot be breached, then the Desiks, who have been bleeding at Kursk, will have to retreat to the north of the Morro River. Desik, who also used up all his supplies in the war, may not be able to survive this winter.

"No, wait two more days, I don't believe that this magical enchantment can last that long. If we make no progress in two days, I will withdraw with the cavalry. It is unlikely that troops from all over San Jose will arrive within two days. Yes, two days, just two days. As if he had made up his mind, General Manstein raised his head and shouted, "Heralds, let the soldiers come forward every hour to test it, and we will attack for two more days!"
