Chapter 44: Star of Hope
The second prince was frightened by the sudden attack, and returned to the rear surrounded by soldiers to begin to treat the wound, but only one ear was penetrated, although the blood flowed profusely, but only a simple bandage was not too much of a problem.
"Your Highness, another wizard has gone mad, I have asked the soldiers to withdraw as soon as possible, it looks like he is using some kind of big magic."
Let him go, the more people in the Mage Tower die, the better it will be for my follow-up, now give priority to preserving his strength, let the rear pull the catapult in, now is not the time to scruple about the palace.
After hearing the clarion call to retreat, the soldiers of the second prince retreated to the city wall in an orderly manner, leaving only the blue-robed mage in the wide vestibule, the temperature in the air began to drop sharply, and the roses that were originally in bloom in the courtyard had begun to be frozen. Represents a cold frost that covers the entire vestibule. Several bullets from the sniper rifle burst through the air, but they were completely blocked by the thick ice wall.
"Slut! You killed my brother, and I will make you pay! ”
The corpse of the red-robed mage had been frozen in a frozen coffin made by the blue-robed mage with magic. This kind of mortal wound cannot be resurrected even by the Pope himself. The blue-robed mage was extremely sad and angry, he mobilized all his mana, and under the traction of his mana, a large dark cloud began to gather in the air, first a snowflake landed, then a hail the size of a tennis ball, and finally an ice spear like a sharp sword began to fall from the sky.
However, the blue-robed mage did not hold out for long, and in the eyes of the soldiers hiding in the safe area, they only saw a fire-spewing and white smoke rising from the window of the palace, flying straight into the air, and then smashed vertically into the blue-robed wizard who was concentrating on chanting spells in the ice wall, and the thing burst open not far above his head.
Like the fireworks of the festive days of childhood, countless white smoke formed in the air, accompanied by a crackling explosion like firecrackers, and according to the soldiers who searched for the corpse of the blue-robed mage, the area had been blasted into countless craters. The only thing the soldier could find was the remaining half of the red-robed mage's head, and the blue-robed mage's half-cut staff. Their bodies have long since disappeared.
"Princess, this thing is so powerful!"
"What's even more so happens is that the name of this thing is the Ice Spear." Natiri smiled and looked at the maid who had finished firing the Ice Spear anti-infantry missile. The structure of the palace has been damaged by more than half. A rain of ice spears summoned by the wizard wreaked havoc on the palace. Looking at the oxygen and testing equipment connected to her father, Natiri sighed and turned to look at the window that had been reinforced by steel plates.
The towering catapult began to slowly but surely advance in the direction of the palace, and even if the entire room was reinforced by tactical steel plates, it was only a matter of time before it collapsed under the continuous bombardment of boulders.
"It seems that the royal brother has murderous intentions. Let's make our final preparations. Natiri sighed, looking at these maid clothes that accompanied her, her body had long been blackened by the smoke of war, although she was not injured, but the continuous days of fighting made these girls who were already girls tired.
"Sally, go open all the supply cans, and lay out the sleeping bags, there will be no more attacks until the second prince's catapult arrives. All we can do now is recharge our energy for the final battle! ”
"Great!" The petite maid named Sally immediately ran to the side room and pulled out a large army-green box from inside, which contained all kinds of food called MRE by the narrator, which only needed a little water to heat up immediately, for people in this era. The food inside is simply heaven to eat, with plenty of spices and cream mixed in the red and white meat. It's a delicacy that you can't always want to use in the palace.
In the past few days of fighting, only eating is the happiest time for all women. After heating the MRE with their own urine, everyone did not dislike it, and after drying it with their aprons, they poured the hot food into a large basin prepared in advance, and a group of people sat around a simple table made of ammunition boxes, pulling the food one by one with their own small spoons, as if they were having communion, and no one spoke.
There wasn't much water left, but Natili still had one last box of energy drinks, a drink that would automatically change according to personal taste, so she had always kept it as a treasure, and she was embarrassed to ask the narrator how much she wanted, and now she took out all the drinks in this box, and under the high-power lighting of the mine mule, a can of green and oily drinks that looked a little weird made the group of girls curious.
"Everybody takes a bottle often."
Although it seemed strange, the princess had already said it, and everyone had to pick it up and drink it. The girl named Sally was the first to open the tube, and then drank it, the first sip was like boiled water, without any taste, but gradually turned out a faint strawberry flavor from her throat, and then the whole bottle began to turn strawberry pink, this is the taste of the strawberry milkshake that Sally drank for the first time when she entered the palace.
"Yikes! Strawberry milkshake! Your Highness! ”
"Hehehe! This drink is a special drink given by the mage of Narrator, and he changes the taste according to everyone's preference. I was taken aback when I drank it for the first time. ”
"Mine, it's milk chocolate...."
Aunt Ai blushed and said the taste of what she drank.
"What is milk chocolate? Milk I know what chocolate is? ”
"It's also a kind of food that Master Mage once gave me, ten times sweeter than beets, not a hundred times, and it will make people feel happy after eating it."
"I really want to eat it, too. Food that can make people feel happy, Aunt Ai, you are so lucky. ”
"There's a chance to eat it. I promise you! Even if he doesn't give it, I will beg him with my face! ”
Natiri's morale played a very big role, the girls happily discussed the taste of chocolate and the drink in their hands, and gradually their voices faded, and the fatigue of several days hit explosively after a large amount of food and water intake, except for Natiri, who was full of sadness, the girls fell into a deep sleep.
Sitting at the window in the middle of the night, breathing in the slightly cold air, Natiri saw a meteor flash in the sky. Natiri didn't fold her hands and close her eyes like a normal girl, and hurriedly made a wish before the meteor disappeared. Instead, he simply brushed his hair. Silently chanting a person's name in his heart, he then curled up, put his head on his knees, and gradually fell asleep.
The violent tremors, and the screams of the maids, woke Natiri. It was already dark. The first boulder fired by the second prince smashed into the vestibule. The boulder rolled and smashed into the first floor with incomparable momentum. Stuck downstairs.
"Girls! Ready to fight! ”
"Live and die with Your Highness!"
After a night of repair, the girls did not waver in the slightest in the face of such a scene, and they quickly returned to their fighting positions. began to strengthen the walls with all kinds of things, and the stone-throwing tools of the second prince were medieval technology after all, and the accuracy was very casual. However, a boulder still smashed into the room. A maid was brutally crushed and broke her leg.
The smell of blood and screams immediately filled the whole room, the mine mule immediately grabbed the stone with his mechanical arm crane, and the maid in charge of medical care immediately tied the wounded man's thigh with a tourniquet, and after stopping the bleeding, sprayed healing gel into the wound, and the personnel were rescued, but the severe pain had completely incapacitated her. The boulder's bombardment stopped, followed by the sound of neat footsteps a moment later.
"They're coming!"
