After a brief welcome banquet, Donald did not rest in the room arranged by the Earl of Layton, but went with them to the hall of the garrison headquarters of Port Layton, which was next to the city wall. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

Donald's expression of shared suffering immediately aroused the favor of the high-level officials of Layton Harbor, and after a while, soldiers came to report that there was movement on the harbor.

"Your Excellency, everyone, let's go up and have a look!"

The Earl of Leighton stretched out his hand to make an invitation, and everyone was naturally anxious to know the latest situation, and climbed the walls of Leighton Harbor together.

On the city wall, I saw a row of soldiers guarding, and on the other side, there were some people who were not uniformly dressed, and several mages were directing the soldiers to be busy with something at several battlements.

"Lyant, what's going on?" "Lord Earl, Your Excellency Baron, and all of you, the shallow sea area of the port was originally calm, but since just now, there have been no less than tens of thousands of sea beasts sneaking over from the water, and now the entire port has been surrounded, and there are still waves surging behind us, I don't know how many sea beasts are still rushing towards us!"

In view of this situation, all the people of Layton Harbor were ugly, and the Earl of Layton asked Donald, "Your Excellency, what do you think?"

Donald's eyesight was far beyond ordinary people, and he saw more than Ryant, a silver swordsman, and saw that there were tens of thousands of sea beasts, and groups were like tadpoles in the water, densely squeezing and surrounding the port of Leighton Harbor.

"I'm afraid that the number of sea beasts is more than tens of thousands, and there are only two ways we can do now, the first is to take advantage of the fact that the sea beasts have not gathered more numbers to attack first, and try to digest the living power of the sea beasts, and the second is to delay time, if the sea beasts do not take the initiative to attack, we will not fight back, we can buy a little time for the arrival of reinforcements!"

After listening to this, the Earl of Layton discussed with the others, and finally decided to choose the second option, after all, it was better for them not to go to war, so as not to suffer losses to the port of Layton.

Although Donald was a little disappointed, he didn't show it, if it was him, he might have launched an attack a long time ago, if he didn't make a move at this time, when the sea beasts gathered more, then the number alone could crush them.

Turning his head to look at what the mages were busy with, Donald saw that it was a device similar to a catapult, except that the ammunition thrown by the catapult was not a stone, but a sealed clay pot.

Seeing that Donald seemed to be interested in these weapons, Earl Layton introduced: "These are the fire bombs designed by Master Bowen, our chief mage of Layton Harbor, after using a trebuchet to drop them, they will explode and burn when they encounter a violent impact, and the flames can be burned for a long time when splashed on the enemy, and they cannot be extinguished with water! Unfortunately, the materials are limited, and only less than two thousand fire bombs can be prepared, otherwise these sea beasts can solve most of them with this alone!"

Isn't this an incendiary bomb from the Otherworld?

Donald nodded and didn't say anything more. This kind of incendiary bomb is a very simple gadget for him who is proficient in alchemy, and he can make better and more perfect with the concept of modern thermal weapons from his previous life, but this simple incendiary bomb can still play a lot of use at this time!

However, the mage over there, who looked not young, and was the most ornate among the several mages, couldn't help but snort coldly at Donald when he saw this scene.

This kind of fire bomb was his most proud invention, and no one in the past had praised it loudly after hearing it, but now the young mage just nodded with contempt, and in his opinion, he obviously looked down on him, the chief mage of Layton Harbor.

Earl Wren explained with some embarrassment: "That is our chief mage Master Bowen of Layton Harbor, Master Bowen's temper is like this, please don't mind the baron!"

Donald naturally wouldn't mind, and he didn't have the skills to deal with other people.

For a young mage like Donald, Bowen glanced at it with some contempt, although the other party claimed to be a first-day genius mage of Celt, with the aura of a kingdom hero, the youngest bronze mage, etc., but for him he was just a little mage who became proud with a little achievement.

But after this casual glance, Bowen suddenly startled, and then stared at Donald with wide eyes and disbelief.

"You call!"

It took a long time for Master Bowen to catch his breath and ask uncertainly, "Have you advanced to silver?"

As soon as these words came out, everyone present couldn't help but take a sharp breath.

Promoted to Silver?

Not long ago, the news that this young mage had been promoted to bronze had already shocked the entire upper echelons of Celt, and now, a silver mage who is not yet twenty years old, even a mage country like Bolin in the mage kingdom has never produced such a genius!

"Just made the cut!"

For the shock of everyone present, Donald still just nodded lightly and said a word.

After standing at a certain height, the praise and awe of others had become weaker and weaker for him, and he was no longer the young mage who was praised a few words before, but a silver mage who was strong enough to affect the situation of one side.

"This is great! Your Excellency the Baron has been promoted to become a Silver Master, then our strength will be even stronger!"

The Earl of Layton said happily. There was no one happier than him to become a Silver Mage.

Donald has nothing to like about this, it's just a matter of course. What's more, the promotion to gold is just a matter of time for him, and it is a breeze.

At this time, he looked at the more and more dark shadows in the water in the harbor in front of him, and his brow furrowed slightly.

The distance from the port to the city wall is about two kilometers, and in the past it was the unloading point for ships of the size of Leighton Harbor, and later developed into a free trade zone, which was a bit too flat to have any fortifications, and if the sea beasts attacked, it would have been easy to attack the city.

So he said to the mages present, "Which of the mages has mastered the art of earth movement?"

Hearing this, the Dan mages of Leighton Harbor couldn't help but look at each other, among them there were three silver mages, and the others were bronze powerhouses, but although the earth movement technique was only a sixth-level spell, it was a strategic spell that was more difficult than a seventh-level single spell, so only two mages had studied it, one of them was the chief mage Bonn, and the other was still a bronze high-level mage, just barely mastered it, I am afraid that the magic power is not enough, and it will not have much effect.

"Is there only two?

After muttering to himself, Donald said to the two, "The terrain here is too flat, I plan to join forces with the two of you to cast a geomaneuver and create another defensive belt on top of the port, is there a problem with the two of you?"

The bronze mage was intimidated by Donald's might and said with some uneasiness, "I may not have enough magic power to shape ......"

Before he could finish his sentence, he saw Donald hand over a piece of equipment and a crystal bottle.

"This is an energy pendant that can increase mana, as well as a potion to replenish mana, return it to me after using it, it should be enough for you to complete the casting process of the earth movement technique! I'm in charge of the center, you two are in charge of the left and right, start preparing!"

As he spoke, he ignored the others and went straight to the front of the city wall, ready to use this spell.

Although the chief mage Bowen did not like to listen to Donald's orders, this method could indeed add a lot of defense to Leighton Harbor, so under the eager gaze of Earl Leighton, he and another mage went up to the wall with a sullen heart, located a few hundred feet to the left and right of Donald, and began to prepare for this earth movement technique.

Geokinetic is a sixth-level strategic spell that consumes a lot more mana than an ordinary seventh-level spell, mainly because relying on the caster's will to mobilize the surface structure to shape Xing consumes most of the mana.

This spell can affect the surface structure of an area of hundreds of square meters, can create ditches, and even create hills up to 100 feet high, but each area it affects, ordinary mages need at least ten minutes to prepare and cast the spell, and the larger the area affected, the more time it will take to change the terrain.

Under the gaze of everyone on the city wall, Donald suddenly opened his eyes.

"Are you ready?"

Seeing Bowen and the other bronze mage nodding, Donald shouted, "Begin!"

I saw that in the central area of the port hundreds of meters away from the city wall, there was a sudden vibration, in the rumbling sound, and then a length of hundreds of meters, a few steps wide of the earth and stone suddenly uplifted, slowly uplifted, but a few minutes of effort, has grown into a length of hundreds of meters, more than ten feet high, seven or eight feet thick earthen wall lying in the center of the port area, on both sides of this earthen wall there are also two other earthen walls, one length is only about 100 meters less than the former, the height and thickness are about the same, the other is a little inferior, not only the length is only half of the central earthen wall, the thickness and height are also a little worse。

Together, these three connected earthen walls form a kilometer-long defensive belt, covering almost half of the harbor area in front of Layton Harbour, and together with the earthen wall, there is a trench of equal length and depth in front of the earthen wall, from which the earth of the earthen wall is transferred.

Of course, except for the three spellcasters, no one else on the city wall could see the situation of the trench in front of them.

Seeing such a long earthen wall rise, it greatly increased the defense of Leighton Harbor, and everyone on the wall, including the big men, cheered like ordinary soldiers.

This was Donald's plan of defense, first with a trench to trap some sea beasts, then an earthen wall to form a second line of defense, and finally the walls of Layton Harbor.

With the first two fortifications blocking, presumably the impact of the sea beasts will be greatly reduced, and more sea beasts can be destroyed on the side of the city wall that has been buffered.

But this was not all Donald's plan, as he asked several mages again, "Who is the one who knows how to turn mud into stone?"

This time, except for one newly promoted bronze mage, all six other mages stepped forward.

Chapter 206 The two fourth-level spells of the beast tide turning mud into stone and fossil into mud can be said to be the most common auxiliary spell, generally some nobles build castles or the royal family plans to build fortresses to hire a large number of mages who can use this spell, which can greatly speed up the construction process, which can be said to be the housekeeping spell of some mages who are not good at fighting, which can earn them a lot of rewards.

So basically, as long as you become a bronze mage, you will find a way to learn and master these two spells.

"Now let's start reinforcing these earthen walls, don't skimp on your magic, these are enough for you to recover!"

As he spoke, Donald casually threw out dozens of small recovery potions, and then flew down the city wall with Kael'thas.

Although Kael'thas has not yet mastered many of the spells of the mages of this world, he is the first to learn the two auxiliary spells of fossil to mud and mud to stone. With the upper limit of the magic power of the Kael'thas mage-type hero, which is second only to Donald, it can play a much greater role than that of the chief mage Bowen.

Several mages were looking at these alchemy potions with red eyes at that time.

You must know that the potion that can restore magic power has always been the alchemy product that mages value the most, after all, at the critical time of the battle, if there is a bottle of potion that restores magic power, it is equivalent to an extra life, so there will not be too many mages of this kind of good thing, which also leads to the price of recovery potions in the mage circle has been high, and it is in short supply.

Except for the chief mage with the deepest magic power, who took two more bottles, each mage was given five small recovery potions, although these mages were very reluctant to use these precious potions in auxiliary spells such as turning mud into stone, but this is related to the safety of Leighton Harbor, as a member of Leighton Harbor, they are not easy to hide, they can only try their best to squeeze their own magic power, hoping to use one less bottle is one bottle.

After a meal, most of the earthen wall defenses in the port area had become more solid stone walls, among which Donald alone had strengthened the section of three hundred meters, and Kael'thas was about two hundred meters behind his master, and the amazing deep magic and spiritual strength of the two amazed all the mages present.

The others repeatedly used to turn mud into stone, and when the magic power was consumed, they took recovery potions, and many of them strengthened the stone wall of nearly 100 meters, and some of them were tens of meters long, and the eight mages were busy for more than ten minutes and finally finished building the defensive stone wall, and then they all returned to the city wall to rest.

Although there is a recovery potion, repeatedly casting spells is also mentally tiring, and it is necessary to rest as much as possible while the sea beast side is not moving, and face the battle in the best condition.

Don't look at it here, counting Donald, they only have nine mages, but they are all strong ** divisions at least bronze or above, and the combat effectiveness that the nine of them can exert is an army of more than tens of thousands of people.

As for the other low-level mages and mage apprentices, they were all arranged by the garrison to defend important places, lest any powerful sea beasts break through the defenses of ordinary soldiers and go up the city wall.

Of course, in terms of longevity, these mages are far inferior to warriors, because their magic power is limited, and they can only make short-term high-intensity strikes against the enemy.

Time passed quickly, hours passed in a flash, but for everyone on the walls of Layton Harbour, every second was a matter of years.

After receiving accurate information, the Earl of Layton had the foresight to close the port, and all the people took refuge in the city for the time being, and many people were transferred to the territory behind the port of Leighton.

In addition to the garrison and the recruited adventurers and mercenaries, there are only nearly a thousand sturdy civilians in charge of logistics on this side of the city wall.

The team, which added up to no more than 10,000 people, faced the threat of sea beasts who didn't know how many, and everyone's hearts were as heavy as carrying a big rock.

Besides, on the side of the sea beasts, it is said that today is the deadline given by the sea lord, and these sea beasts should have rushed up to kill in a mess early!

However, except for the slight confusion caused by the strong magic movement of the previous mages, those sea beasts have been quietly lurking in the water outside the harbor, as if they were the most elite army and strictly follow discipline.

This is not good news for the people on the Layton Harbor side.

If these sea beasts with low intelligence really launched an attack on Leighton Harbor in a steady and orderly manner under the command of that sea lord, then how could their combat effectiveness increase several times?

Just when the people on the city wall were worried, the sun had risen to mid-heaven, and the midday sun shone on the sea, making the figures of the sea beasts lurking in the shallow water more clear.

The garrison on the city wall relaxed a little, and began to prepare lunch, when a melodious roar was heard in the distance, and the sea beast that had been lurking in the water moved.

Thousands of sea beasts roared out of the water and rushed towards the port like cavalrymen who had been ordered to charge, and the sound of these sea beasts roaring formed a psychological impact, which had already made the elite soldiers on the city wall who had experienced a lot of battles a little frightened, not to mention the performance of those recruits and adventurers who were recruited halfway.

"What's the panic? The catapult prepares, firebombs, and the sea beasts gather on the stone wall in large numbers and attack!"

As the commander of the garrison, Ryan naturally knew the importance of momentum, and immediately mobilized his soldiers to relieve a lot of tension.

The first ten thousand sea beasts quickly rushed to the stone wall, most of these sea beasts are a kind of aquatic monsters that look similar to seals, but the sharp claws and teeth are much more ferocious than sea cats, their strength is probably only limited to the strength of ordinary beasts, and their size is no more than the size of ordinary domestic dogs.

Their level intelligence is limited, and they are also cannon fodder in the sea beast herd. Many of them only knew that they were slamming their heads into the stone wall, and how could these small sea beasts be able to shake the solidity of the stone wall several meters thick?

However, the strength of these lowest-level sea beasts is reflected in their number, and there are no less than 10,000 of them in the first batch alone, and there are countless sea beasts rushing towards the shore one after another.

"Catapult ready, put!"

When tens of thousands of sea beasts gathered in front of the stone wall, because there were trenches and traps in front of them and stone walls blocking the way, these sea beasts could only rely on the bodies of their companions to accumulate a small part of the stone wall, the commander gave an order, more than 30 catapults launched together, and the fire bombs composed of more than 30 clay pots were thrown out at that time, and most of the landing points were behind the stone wall.

The roaring explosion was accompanied by the sizzle of flames burning fat, as well as the screams of the sea beasts, and many people couldn't help but vomit.

More than thirty fire bombs exploded each of them, and the flames could cover an area of seven or eight feet in a radius, plus the large number of these sea beasts were crowded together, and soon other similar bodies were contaminated with the fire oil made by alchemy, and these inextinguishable flames quickly expanded the area, and thousands of sea beasts had been killed in just a few tens of seconds, most of which were contaminated by the flames because of squeezing each other, and no more than a few hundred died directly by the fire bombs.

"Well done!"

"Fantastic......

After the smoke passed, the soldiers on the city wall cheered, and most of the first sea beasts were wiped out by one of their attacks, and it seemed that there was hope for victory!。
