Chapter 152, I have to attack
On 9 July, the coalition of Thracian nobles finally arrived.
They set up a large camp about fifty kilometers from the Thracian citadel, one camp after another, tents after tents, and flags...... From the sky, a large area of the ground was obscured, as if a large forest had suddenly appeared.
"Why are they so far away?" said Panda, looking at the magic map, dissatisfied, "It's too far away!"
"They didn't dare to come closer. Liu Daoqing explained, "We have a 'sage who moves mountains' here, and no one can guarantee that there are no traps set by the nearby underground sage, if you get closer, you may wake up one night and be already blowing the wind on the top of the high mountain." ”
"Sage López is so powerful?" the panda was taken aback, and turned to look at the old scholar who smiled softly and looked like a university professor in a robe.
"Of course I'm not that good. López smiled modestly, "But they think I'm so good, I can't run over and explain to them, 'You guessed wrong, I'm really not good,' right?"
Everyone laughed.
After laughing, Caterina said, "Since they don't come, then we don't bother to go over, so let's consume it, we can afford it anyway." ”
Of course, the Elantz family can afford it.
It's summer, and it's almost the farming season. At this time, fighting a war almost means that agricultural production will be greatly hindered, and it is an exaggeration to say that it is possible to lose the grain. However, the Elantz family has already stocked up on enough food, backed by Tara Khan and Dracula of the traversers, and Longtou Island, which is obviously capable of a bumper harvest this year...... According to the estimation of the political officer Pierde Condy, even if this battle takes ten years, the Elantz family can afford it!
If this battle is really fought for ten years, I am afraid that at least half of the noble alliance will go bankrupt.
Clearly, time is on the side of the Ellants.
This truth is naturally known to the coalition of Thracian nobles.
Although they didn't know that the Erantz family would be able to get enough food supplies from the traversers, how could the dignified Erantz family have the courage to jump out and become independent if they didn't even have the reserve food to support the consumption of several years?
Even if you think you are a fool, you can't be a fool when you are a "sage who moves mountains"!
So at the Council of the Great Nobles, more than one of the Great Nobles suggested sending troops to attack Elantz Castle.
"It's not good for us to drag on like this. Even the Duke of Pituz said, "If we don't suppress the rebellion of the Elants family as soon as possible, even if we win in the end, we will lose a lot of prestige." ”
King Richard frowned, but did not answer.
Of course he can think of what everyone can think of. But...... Attacking Erantz Castle is not an easy task!
According to the information collected over the years, the Elantz family has laid a large number of traps and secret passages around the castle, and can silently mobilize troops to attack at any time, so that enemies close to the castle will not know where the hidden arrows are fired until they die.
Therefore, if you want to fight the Elantz family, siege is the worst option, and if you can, it is best not to even go near the castle.
Looking at the magic map in front of him, Richard thought for a long time, and finally said, "I'll go think of a way." ”
In the afternoon of the same day, his "method" began to be put into practice.
The Magic Detection Enchantment in Thrace City emitted a violent glow, signaling that a very large magical ritual was taking place not far to the west.
Caterina immediately sent the air force to reconnoitre, and after a fierce aerial strangulation, the air force of the Elantz family suffered heavy losses, but they still got the information they needed.
At the rear of the barracks, the Thracians set up a magical array of surprisingly large size.
The diameter of this magic array was more than five miles, which was surprisingly large. Hundreds of magicians are busy in it, perfecting its runes and lines. Even so, at least half of it was empty, nothing.
But even if it was only less than half done, the magic it emitted was enough to make the magic detection enchantment set up by the Elantz family send out the highest level of alarm.
"There is no doubt that this is a ritual magic on a very large scale. Caterina projected the information that the Air Force girls had exchanged for their lives in the air, pointed to the unimaginably large magic array, and said, "No matter what kind of magic it is, I believe that as long as we let it be successfully completed, we will lose at least half of this war." ”
The traversers also looked at the magic array, but unfortunately because of the lack of professionalism, they couldn't see anything famous.
There is a specialization in the art industry, and the most powerful magic array expert in the world today is in the Thracian aristocratic alliance at this moment, although the great magician should not work hard for Richard and the others, but the level of his magic array is not comparable to that of López Sage.
"How about I go and ask the 'old sage' to come over?" asked the sage of López, "I'm sure he'll be able to recognize this magic circle." ”
"No, we can find a magic array master to come over. Panda smiled, "I believe that in terms of the knowledge of the magic array, he should not lose to the 'Sage of Secret Spells' Norma Speke." ”
He was talking about, of course, Eric, the chief staff member of Count Tara Khan, who gave himself the nickname "Sleepless Night" in the chat channel.
Hearing that something big was coming, Eric came quickly, and after just over half an hour, he was in the conference room.
After staring at the map for a moment, he judged what the coalition of Thracian nobles was doing.
"Meteorite magic. "Meteorite magic on a very large scale, or another way to call it—Starfall." ”
Caterina's face changed, and so did the face of the sage of López, and the faces of all those who knew how to do it except the traverser became very solemn.
The notorious spell "Starfall" is a spell that can drag a huge and friendless star from the depths of the distant sky and smash it directly to the ground. The power of such a blow would be unimaginably great, and it would be completely impossible to stop. It is said that in the South China Sea Islands, there used to be a huge island called "Panlong Island", but in the fierce civil war for power, someone laid a starfall array, dragged a star from the nine heavens, and smashed it on the island.
Then the huge island, which was said to be at least a tenth the size of Thrace, was gone, leaving not a trace of it.
"Can't let this magic be done!" Caterina jumped up, "We're going to take the initiative and destroy their magic array!"
This order was supported by everyone.
So just before dark that day, the gate of Elanz Castle, which had been closed, opened, and a group of people came out in a hula and put on an offensive posture.
This war, which was supposed to be attacked by the combined forces of the Thracian nobles and defended by the Elantz family, from the very beginning, went in a strange and incomprehensible direction.
