Chapter 408: Walking in the Clouds

Red Dragon Castle.

The first wave of attacks has already begun.

Hundreds of meters below the city, on a specially pushed earthen platform, heavy trebuchets made a 'click' sound, throwing hundreds of kilograms of boulders towards the Red Dragon Castle.

These boulders are all idiosyncratic and wrapped in a thick layer of cotton cloth soaked in fire oil, and when the boulder is thrown out, it flies through the wall of fire in the air built by the battle mages, and the oil is ignited, and the boulder becomes a 'fire meteor'.

'Boom' 'Boom' The walls of the Red Dragon Fort trembled slightly, and many structures that had not been reinforced by spells were easily destroyed, and rubble splattered to the ground.

"Shoot back!" A hoarse roar rang from the walls.

The heavy bed crossbows on the city wall began to roar, and thick crossbow bolts flew out hundreds of meters away, and when they hit the trebuchet, the bursting rune at the tip of the crossbow would explode, destroying the trebuchet's structure.

After several rounds of encounters, both sides had their own losses.

On the high ground outside the city, Duke Hansen put down the monocular in his hand and praised it sincerely: "It is worthy of being a thousand-year-old city, and it is really strong." ”

"No matter how strong it is, it's a lonely city. The lonely city is difficult to defend, and it is only a matter of time before it is breached. Duke Ross Jr. smiled disdainfully.

"Ha Lu Ha." Han Sen smiled: "According to the agreement, after the city is broken, your three families will form the Holy Helmet Council and re-establish the Holy Helmet Kingdom. Hopefully, when the time comes, you will follow the Platinum Agreement we have signed. ”

He was very relaxed, because he knew that it was impossible for Russell to come to the rescue, and even at this time, whether Russell was alive or not was a question.

He should be dead, but it's a pity that he is a genius who can't be used by me. Duke Hansen felt a little regretful in his heart.

"Don't worry. The new Helmet Kingdom will always be the most loyal follower of Citis and will respect the Kingdom of Citis as much as his father. The Marquis of Droc interjected, flattering.

Duke Hansen couldn't help but laugh loudly. Then he said, "Your loyalty will be rewarded." After the city is broken, the queen of the Holy Helmet, you can dispose of it! No matter how humiliating or executing, I will not care. ”

When the three heads of the family heard this, their eyes all showed excitement, and the little Marquis of Orlanto couldn't help but lick his lips. It's like food.

Duke Hansen smiled, picked up the binoculars again to look at the city wall in front of him, glanced at it, and said with a smile: "Heh, look, your queen is very bold, she has personally gone into battle to boost morale." ”

The three of them raised their binoculars one after another, and sure enough, there was a woman in a red dress and silver armor on the city wall. She was patrolling the walls under the escort of the soldiers, and the soldiers seemed to be extremely excited as they passed.

"What a beautiful woman, like a rose in a fire...... When I proposed to her, she rejected me. Now, I'm going to stomp that face under my feet! "Duke Ross Jr. hated the authentic.

He put down his binoculars, turned to the two marquis beside him and said, "I want this queen." For this, our family can give up a year's worth of taxes. ”

"Hmph. If you want to be beautiful, I don't lack this money. "It was the Marquis de Roque who spoke. He wanted it too. It was his greatest pleasure to conquer a noble woman.

"Don't argue, everyone wants it, then everyone wants it together!" Marquis of Orlanto said.

As soon as these words came out, all three of them burst into laughter.

Duke Hansen looked coldly at these three young men who had suddenly gained great power and were carried away by power. There was a slight sneer in his eyes: "It's three straw bales, but isn't that what I want?" ’

He turned his head, ready to continue observing the battle on the wall, but suddenly frowned. Because he saw a man flying in the sky.

"Could it be Russell?" Duke Hansen was taken aback.

The man in the sky quickly approached, revealing his specific appearance, and it turned out to be the great magician Simon, who also saw this, approached very quickly, and landed on the ground.

When Duke Hansen saw that the three magicians were all full of heaviness, and his heart suddenly felt bad, and hurriedly asked, "Master Simon, how is the situation?" ”

A sense of shame flashed through Simon's heart, and then it turned flat, and he shook his head: "It's not good. Russell is unusually powerful, he's coming over, we have to prepare early! ”

Ten powerful magicians, one great magician went to stop it, but it was defeated, and eight magicians were lost....... this result made everyone present look at each other, and felt a sense of absurdity in their hearts.

The leader of the battle mages, a middle-aged mage, opened his mouth to explain: "Russell's speed and means of unleashing magic are beyond imagination, we greatly underestimated his strength, and there was a mistake in his tactics. ”

"But that's too ......," Duke Hansen didn't know what to say.

Simon was impatient and waved his hand fiercely, "Didn't you hear me?" Russell is coming this way, and will be there in half an hour at most. We must be prepared! ”

Duke Hansen was angry in his heart, but he knew that he had to rely on the great magician in front of him at this time, so he suppressed his anger and nodded, "What the master said is right. The Battlemage Regiment on the front line is at your disposal! ”

"That's good." Simon said to the two six-star archmages beside him, "Hurry up! ”

The two mages nodded, followed behind Simon, and began to organize the battle mage regiment to prepare for Russell's attack.

After Simon left, the three great lords who had just succeeded him looked at each other a few times, and then Duke Ross Jr. said, "Your Excellency Hansen, I am very sorry that my family may have something urgent and need to rush back. ”

Hansen was irritable, turned his head and was furious: "Shut up! This battle is not over, no one is allowed to leave! ”

Marquis Drok said, "You have no right to restrict our freedom. ”

"The sword in my hand is my power!" Duke Hansen grasped the hilt of his sword and said to the guards on the side, "Watch over them!" ”

It's all a bunch of rice buckets! Duke Hansen tugged at his collar irritably, looked at the group of battle mages that were quickly organized in front of him, and suddenly realized in his heart: 'What am I bothered about?' It was just a small loss. Russell is only one person, but I have nearly a hundred magicians here, and I am not afraid of him coming! ’

Thinking of this, Duke Hansen smiled again, turned his head to the three major lords who were under control, and said, "Don't worry, as long as Russell dares to come, all he can find here is death!" ”

…….

The walls of the Red Dragon Castle.

"Your Majesty, the local offensive is too fierce, can you avoid it?" The Commander of the Guards persuaded.

Toria shook her head, looked at the boulder that kept smashing at her, and said, "There is no need for this, I have sworn to live and die with my people." If the city is broken, and I am still alive, this is a shame! ”

"Your Majesty!" The Commander of the Guards had tears in his eyes.

Toria looked at the situation outside the city, and suddenly strangely noticed that the battle mages on the other side were retreating.

"What happened?"

The commander who followed on the side also saw it, and frowned: "Are they going to release a large magic spell and destroy the city wall in one fell swoop?" ”

In general, this is unlikely. But now, the most powerful magicians in the Red Dragon Castle are only four stars, the number is no more than twenty, and the amount of mana is far inferior to that of the opponent. If the other party prepares a large magic, they can't stop it at all!

Seeing that the opposing battle mages began to assemble rapidly, not only the commander thought so, but everyone who saw this scene had the same idea.

If the walls were destroyed and 300,000 troops from outside the city poured into the city, how would the less than 50,000 defenders in the city resist?

Despair began to spread rapidly in the hearts of the soldiers.

When Toria knew that the last hour had come, she held her staff aloof and shouted, "My people, I am with you forever!" ”

The voice fell, but few people responded. In the face of life and death, most of the people lost their fighting spirit, and even some soldiers gave up their defense and began to run down the city wall, no matter how the overseer army suppressed it.

More and more people saw the situation beneath the city, and the rout began to spread irrepressibly throughout the city walls.

"Citis is going to destroy the city walls, run!"

"God, help me!"

"Stop! Stop it! Kill! ”

There was chaos on the city wall, and Toria stood in the chaos, sighed lowly, and said to the guards beside her: "When the city wall falls, you will kill me, and take my head to Cidis, maybe you can change your life." ”

"Your Majesty, you are defiling our glory!" The Commander of the Guards had a face full of grief and indignation, he was ready to die.

Toll unconsciously felt sadness in her heart, not for death, but for not being able to see Russell's worst side before the end of this mortal body's life.

'Is he okay in Sky Castle after receiving my letter?' Toria couldn't help but think.

In a trance, suddenly a passionate melody came into her ears, and Toria immediately heard that it was the famous song "Walking in the Clouds" by Sky City.

The melody was originally light and ethereal, but now it became majestic and passionate, and it swept through the clouds and rolled from the sky, like a light that drove away the clouds of despair; Just like lightning, as soon as it appears, it shows the majesty of heaven and earth.

The soldiers unconsciously stopped and looked at the sky, where the sun was rising, a silver-white winged carriage was speeding in.

He trampled on the morning glow, he walked in the clouds, he looked down at the ordinary beings in the mortal world. (To be continued......)
