Chapter 43: The Last Fifteen Meters
After the collapse of the building, the exposed place just formed a slope piled up with debris, the second prince sent several carpenters to clean the irregular slope as much as possible, after this collapse, the route to attack the emperor's bedroom was shortened by half, although the structure of the palace was destroyed, but now in the face of heavy losses, the prince can no longer consider the integrity of the palace.
The second prince never thought that his seventh emperor sister would be so resolute, originally in his eyes, how could this royal sister, who often went to the dirty slums and occasionally picked up people back, have a will like steel. Except for the eldest prince who was put under house arrest by himself just in case, the other brothers were not in the mood to fight for power, or they were already from his side, but this Seventh Emperor Sister was still so resolute in resisting.
The second prince always felt that something was wrong in his heart, since the seventh emperor sister came back from the kingdom, it seemed that she had a strange experience, if those strange magic items in her hand could be mass-produced and distributed to her own army, she was even sure to take down the entire continent. Relying on these props, the royal sister only relied on a few personal maids to resist her elite attack for a day and a night.
"Someone!"
"What does Your Highness command?"
"Pass the order! Battalion alert! Let the wizards of the Tower let me in. ”
"Yes!"
This uneasiness in the second prince's heart made him toss and turn, and his brows never relaxed when he looked at the report sent by his subordinates in the room, and the assassin he sent over has not returned until now, and he can basically be sure that he is dead. What surprised the prince was not the death of the assassin, but the means by which the Seven Emperor Sisters killed the assassin whom she had hired with a lot of money.
"Your Highness, Master Mage is waiting at the door."
"Let them in."
"I've seen the prince"
"No need to be polite, in fact, I need the help of the Mage Tower."
The second prince tidied up his clothes, let the soldiers let the mages into his temporary office, and stood up to greet these mages who seemed to be lower than himself, but the prince knew in his heart that these mages were not his opponents to be annoyed, and the two mages in a blue robe and a red robe were two twin mages who were quite famous in this area. It controls the power of fire and ice.
"As you two can see, we are now close to the last wave of offensives, but I didn't expect that my royal sister has a large number of magic props in her hands, and the strength of my subordinates alone is really going up to death, I want to ask the two mages what they think."
The red-robed mage replied in a calm voice, "From what I can see, she may not have a magic prop, but rather a firearm made by a dwarf. ”
"It's impossible! The dwarven kingdom was destroyed by the undead not long ago, and the lonely mountains were blown away. None of the dwarves I know can craft firearms that so exquisite! Brother, don't talk nonsense! The blue-robed mage immediately refuted his brother's claim.
The red-robed mage didn't squeak, just glanced at his stupid brother with sharp eyes, although his magic power was on par with his own, but the two of them had completely opposite personalities, and it was for his own composure that he could have such a violent magic as controlling the flames, while his younger brother could only learn temperature control, that is, the power of frost.
"So what do you think I should do now?"
"The old man suggested that the prince should let the two of us blow up the bedroom directly, and send the emperor and the house to the sky together, once and for all."
"But from a political point of view, it would be unrighteous for me to go out of school. I don't really want to do this without other means, the dragon slaying sword in the king's hand is like a king's status to our people, and I have to find a way to get it so that it is nominally in accordance with the will of God. ”
"Hmph, you guys are so annoying about politics. Doesn't that mean that your soldiers lack an offensive line, and you can't get up to a small intersection on the opposite side? Prepare me a lot of water tomorrow, and I'll build you an ice road!" ”
The second prince's eyes lit up, and he hurriedly thanked the two mages, and at the same time asked the guards to send generous gifts, and then hurriedly began to prepare a large amount of water requested by the blue-robed mage.
Early the next morning, ten carriages stopped in the square of the palace, and the blue-robed mage stood on the roof of one of them, shook the wooden staff in his hand, and began to chant incantations in his mouth, and the lid of the bucket filled with water on the carriage was hit open by the strong water pressure, and the clean liquid inside all gathered on the top of the mage's head as if it were alive, forming a wriggling ball of water, and then scattered.
Gradually, in the square of this palace, a large amount of ice was piled up, and the ice continued to accumulate, mixed with the earth, and gradually rose, until the corridor covered by fire was completely surrounded, and a vast slope of mud and ice was formed, and the place was enough for the prince's three infantry phalanxes to enter side by side, so that a straight line that Natilly originally needed to defend turned into a ninety-degree plain after demolishing the wall on the second floor of the corridor.
The blue-robed mage looked at his masterpiece with pride, and even used the excess liquid to make several solid ice walls on the slope for the soldiers as cover, and the prince did not slack off, when the ice slope was formed, the special heavy shield team was ready, when the mage nodded and said yes, the captain of the heavy shield team waved his team flag heavily, and the three heavy shield teams composed of 100 people walked on the ice slope with solid steps.
The heavy shield is made of leather, and a whole piece of thick oak is temporarily composed, only in this way can barely block the penetration of the bullets, like the huge shield behind the stump is controlled by a group of sturdy members of the Prince's Guard, once a bullet strafes coming, they immediately shoulder the large shield team to gather the wooden escape together in an orderly manner, extremely effective resistance to machine gun fire.
But even so, the heavy shield soldiers were cut in two by the light cut by the mine mules stationed in their dormitories as easily as a hot knife cut through butter, but fortunately, the green light did not have a long range, and there was an extremely long warm-up. Just lie on the ground at the right time to avoid the range of its strafing.
As the Second Prince's Heavy Shield Team advanced steadily in an encirclement, when it advanced to the edge of the mine mule's cutting light, the Heavy Shield Team stopped, and under heavy cover, the red-robed mage stood in the pile and began to chant the incantation, and after a two-minute incantation, a huge flame flew out from the top of the mage's staff. The explosion shook the entire palace.
"No one can survive my blow to the Red Lotus Gathering Storm, Your Highness hurry up and send someone to collect the corpse."
Before the words fell, an orange-yellow bullet suddenly flew out in the thick smoke, and the red-robed mage who had not finished his words burst open in front of the eyes of the second prince, and his brainballs exploded in the face of the second prince. The potential energy of the deformed bullet did not decrease, and the left ear of the second prince was deeply rooted in the dirt, and all this was in an instant.
"Help!"
The second prince covered his left ear in horror and retreated to the rear surrounded by soldiers.....
