Genius remembers in a second [Aishang Novel Network biquge.info] to provide you with wonderful novels to read.
"When?" The Lord of Wands stood up at once.
"Early this morning."
"What about the intensity?"
Yoland. Dumick swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and his expression became extremely bitter: "The same level as the Eleventh Ring Spell......"
Hearing this, Count Julian, the Lord of the Blue Water City, suddenly sat down on the sand and muttered, "Legendary spell, and it's also an eleventh ring spell...... Gordon them, did they fail? ”
For most people who don't know much about the arcane realm, spells above the nine rings are all classified as legendary spells. But legendary sorcery is a very large category, and there are actually several levels.
The Ten Rings Spell is what all mages who have stepped into the legendary realm need to master first. Every legendary spellcaster has at least one or two ten-ring spells. Eleven-ring spells are different. Unless it is those old monsters who have lived for hundreds or thousands of years, or strong people with extremely talented talents, they can cast eleven ring spells alone. Ordinary legendary spellcasters usually need several people to join forces, or use magic circles and other auxiliary means to cast eleven ring spells.
As for the higher-level twelve and thirteen ring spells, they can even be said to be the power that only gods can grasp.
When the other nobles heard the news, although they didn't know what the concept of the eleventh ring spell was, when they saw the dejected appearance of the city lord of Julian, they were all confused at once, their faces were pale, cold sweat flowed, and they even shouted that they were ready to flee to the south for refuge.
"Quiet!" Rob. Archduke Antelo uttered the word slowly in his own deep voice. The originally restless atmosphere in the study was finally suppressed temporarily.
"Don't be too pessimistic, Julian. Gordon: They weren't completely defeated. Or rather, they are only half the failure. Even from an optimistic point of view, it can be considered that they are half the battle, they just don't do it all. ”
Based on the information he had gathered before, as well as Antello's own speculation, he knew that with the power of the three Orbs of Sin, he could use a twelve-ring spell. The power of the spell detected today. But there are only 11 rings, which shows that their efforts are not fruitless.
"Yoland, do you know the type of spell?"
"The Mage Tower is analyzing, and it is estimated that the results will be available soon." Yolande said. The mage's nephew was also on the expedition, and perhaps the legendary spell was nearby when it moved. This made him very anxious. Hopefully not facing a worst-case outcome.
Analyzing the specific type of spell through the free arcane energy diffused by the spell is much more complicated than just measuring the strength of the spell. Fortunately, the mages under Antello's command are all well-trained and excellent. The wait didn't last long. Yolande took the new report of the mage group and handed it to Rob. Antelo.
"Seismismological...... Rob. Antello looked at the dazzling words on the report, his face was as cold as ice, "These crazy cultists actually want to destroy the Great Wall of Anduin!" ”
This sentence was like a thunderbolt, and it shocked all the nobles present in a daze. I couldn't speak for a long time.
After a long time, Count Exxon said: "Archduke, give a mobilization order, I think the army of the tundra orcs will soon cross the glacial river and reach the foot of the Anduin Wall." I'm afraid we don't have much time left. ”
"Commander Exxon, you immediately lead the Winterclaw Legion out to the Great Wall. The Redstone Legion's side. I will send someone to inform you and respond to you in a timely manner. ”
After making a decision, the Lord of Wands no longer hesitated, immediately picked up the pen, brushed and drafted a mobilization order for the Far Frost Province, and then handed it to the clerk, ordering it to be polished immediately. It was then distributed to all the nobles who owned fiefs in the Northlands.
"Everyone, go back to the fiefdom and prepare your army. Whether that scene from a few years ago will be repeated depends on your efforts. "Finally, the Grand Duke of Scepter issued an eviction order.
Thinking of the tragic scene of the orc invasion. and the unfortunate fate of being held accountable by the emperor if he was not good at defending the land, all the nobles present shuddered. Although today is the biggest festival of the year for the people of Ferredon, at this moment, no one will remember the taste of the festive eggnog at dinner.
After striking, the Lord of Wands buried himself in his desk, writing down orders. The messengers left Rainbow Springs Manor with these urgent orders, some rode their horses away, while others went to the headquarters of the Grand Duke Mage Regiment, sent the message to the Mage Tower, and then sent it out by means of teleportation......
The Far Frost Province of the Fereton Empire has three major barriers to protect it from the wild tundra orcs further north. One is the Cold Fog Mountains to the northeast of the province. This east-west mountain range stretches across the northeastern border of the Empire, spanning three provinces, and eventually stretching into the territory of Northumbard in the Black Dragon Empire. The second is the Orlandos Snow Mountain to the northwest. This is an extremely cold region where snow falls for half of the year, and only the Orlandos tribe, who have the blood of the goddess of winter, Aulure, can survive here. Even the tundra orcs, accustomed to the harsh living environment, could not climb over this high mountain and enter the Far Frost Province.
The Orlandos Snow Mountains and the Cold Mist Mountains, two naturally formed barriers, cut off ninety percent of the border line of the entire Far Frost Province from the barren tundra. For thousands of years, only a narrow valley about 100 kilometers wide between two mountain ranges was the most convenient and only passage for tundra orcs to go south.
After an almost endless, year-to-year battle with the tundra orcs, the second emperor of the Ferreton Empire, Anthony . Anduin, finally made a decision. He wants to build an impregnable Great Wall in the valley between the Orlandos Snow Mountains and the Cold Mist Mountains, and seal the invasion routes of the green-skinned barbarians forever.
mobilized countless manpower, material resources, and financial resources, and even asked the platinum dragon god to personally help with divine power. It took Anduin ten years to build the Great Wall of Anduin.
Together with the Orlandos Mountains and the Cold Mist Mountains, this man-made miracle forms an impenetrable barrier to protect the northern part of the empire from orcs.
Although the Ferreton Empire's reclamation plan on the tundra completely failed a few years ago, and all the newly opened lands outside the Great Wall fell, the fierce and murderous orc army could only look at the wall and sigh when facing the towering Anduin Great Wall, and finally had no choice but to withdraw the army.
But this time, the Great Wall of Anduin, which has stood for nearly a thousand years since its construction, is facing the greatest threat......
One of the several orders issued by the Lord of the Northland, with the power of the arcane, came to the Great Wall of Anduin as quickly as possible.
The Great Wall of Anduin, which is 100 kilometers long, has five fortresses where the defenders of the Great Wall are deployed. The easternmost fortress of Savato was in chaos from the time the clock ticked into the first of February.
A sudden earthquake caused the defenders of the Sevato Fortress to fall into extreme panic, and even thought that the end of the world had come.
After a night of chaos, when dawn came, the supreme commander of the fortress, Platinum Centurion Chuck. McDougall realized how much damage his station had suffered.
The landslides and mudslides caused by the earthquake completely submerged half of the fortress near the Cold Fog Mountains. The soldiers were buried under the dirt while they were asleep, and there was no hope of survival. There are also many casualties caused by buildings collapsing and even stepping on each other during the earthquake.
Although it will take some time before the final number of casualties is counted, the situation is by no means optimistic from the devastation in front of us.
What's even more terrifying is that the earthquake also caused great damage to the Great Wall of Anduin.
To the west of the fortress of Sawato, the 10-kilometer-long section of the Great Wall was damaged in different ways. Cracks, crevices, falling masonry, everywhere. There was even a large gap that completely collapsed and was thirty meters wide.
At the beginning, Anthony. When Anduin built the Great Wall, the building materials used were mined from the bottom of the cold stone lake. When the Great Wall project was completed, the entire Lengshi Lake was more than doubled in size because of this huge project. Hard, weather-resistant, cold stone is the best building material for fortifications. In the entire Ferredon Empire, only the city of Duronn and the Great Wall of Anduin were used for this extremely expensive building material.
Even in terms of architectural specifications, the Great Wall of Anduin, which is 20 meters high and 40 meters wide, is even stronger than the walls of the imperial capital, and can be called the strongest defensive structure in Ferreton.
After nearly a thousand years, the Great Wall of Anduin is still able to withstand the orc forces, but it is a little powerless in the face of the great forces of nature.
Each of the five fortresses on the Great Wall of Anduin had five hundred defenders under the command of a platinum centurion. Compared with ordinary centurions who can only command an army of 100 people, a centurion with the "platinum" affix can command an army of 500 people, and is the highest-ranking officer below the commander of the Ferreton Emperor**.
Chuck. McDougall wondered if the Platinum Centurions of the other Fortresses were having the same problems as himself, and he had no time to care about the others. Dealing with the chaos in the fortress has already left him exhausted.
In addition to the loss of personnel, the loss of material is also innumerable. Warehouses of arrows, rolling wood, stone and other materials were also buried in the mudslides caused by the mountain landslide. Chuck Platinum Centurion was unable to repair the gap in the Great Wall even if he wanted to do his best at this time.
"If the orcs show up at this time, it will be a big problem......
The centurion, who was commanding his subordinates to try their best to rescue the people, suddenly had an ominous thought in his mind. He was about to dispel this damned, chilling thought when he suddenly received a notice from his subordinates.
"I received a message from Rob in the communication room. Antelo-sama's message, the Grand Duke has asked us to strengthen our guard against the possible orc forces. ”
"Damn it!" Hearing the news of the herald, the centurion could no longer hold back and cursed.
