Chapter 172: Breaking the City

I saw several thick plant vines stretching out from the feet of the long-eared maiden and sinking into the ground, and in a short time these vines broke through the ground at the foot of the city wall, splitting into countless branches and climbing up the city wall, these terrible green lifeforms stirred the foundation and masonry with unstoppable force.

At this moment, the archers and magicians stationed on the city walls were in place. But they were horrified to find that the bows and magic they shot were useless against the vines. Vigri's necromantic nature makes him highly resistant to ranged attacks and magic, and his opponents have no light magic masters to restrain him.

At the same time, Teresa and Lorana Ise in the rear continued to use magic to suppress the defenders' firepower, and Evangeline raised a magic flare to inform the main army.

The "Red Palace", which has lost the Forbidden Demon Domain, can only be ravaged by Salian. Count St. Valentine, armed with the golden hammer captured under the city of Severus, teleported to the top of the tower, knocking them to the ground one by one to the ground and smashing them to the ground to the shreds of flesh at the astonished shouts of the archers.

Below, the "Storm Maniac" took advantage of the chaos caused by Vigli and Salian's pinning down on the towers to finally break through the gap in the walls.

She was followed by Aphroya, a cat-eared girl in the same heavy armor as Salian, who led the New Mark Army into the city with a flail and a heavy tower shield disproportionate to her size.

According to the original plan, the New Mark Army and the Mullarsen Army were divided into two routes. Her lead will attack the city gates, opening the way for the subsequent army. The guards of the Gera Kingdom will naturally not let her achieve her goal easily, the city gate is the core of the defense of the "Red Palace" city wall, and the defense here is naturally an elite force. Aphroa was attacked from all sides.

She has been training hard for three years, and her talent is extremely high, coupled with the essence of the two schools of protective horror knights, Mellenpergard and Barenberg, and the control arcane technique taught by Salian himself. Its martial arts have advanced by leaps and bounds, and it has now become a little successful. The fight was a test of the results of her training.

I saw the cat-eared girl swinging the chain flail, and at the same time striking the close Gra soldiers and blocking the bow and arrows and magic in the distance, now she has completely mastered this weapon, her footwork is not disorderly, and she is skillful, and under the training of the sword saint Yaza who was invited at a high price, she has initially comprehended the attack line skills of the imperial sword god flow.

Like a fully protected battle tank, Aphroa ran through the layers of guards to the inside of the gate, where a warlock with a magic book finally stopped her. With each page she turned, she fired a powerful arrow of fire or ice that hindered her movements.

The Barenberg family's protective skills are stronger than increasing their resistance to physical attacks. Mother Salian's Murlenpergard faction greatly increases magic resistance.

As a result, the opponent's magic blow to Aphroa only slowed her down. The cat-eared girl saw the opportunity to use the "magic reflex" of the unique secret art of the Merempergard faction to shoot the flying flame arrows at the surrounding soldiers of the Gera Kingdom, killing and injuring countless people. In this way, it was the enemy magician who helped her clean up the miscellaneous soldiers. After following Salian for many years, the girl's on-the-spot adaptability has also improved a lot.

In fact, the cat-eared girl didn't know that the mage who now wrapped her face was the lucky one who was killed once by Salian, and since the death of Bellanini, he went to the Holy Capital to find help, but unfortunately it coincided with the upheaval of the Holy See, and the death of a cardinal could not cause any waves, and then Salian became a celebrity around the Pope. The mage had no choice but to leave in disgrace, and finally made his way to the kingdom of Gla, where he fought a hopeless battle with those who were also anti-Murassen. For him, it can be regarded as loyal to Bellanini.

"Hateful horror knight, it's you every time, don't underestimate me too much!"

Enraged, he recited a long series of incantations, gathering all of his Mana energy, and the worn-out magic book even burned and submerged into his body, and it seemed that the magician was ready to give up his life. Similar to the situation when Lil used "Space Devouring" just now, with the help of magic items, the mage was able to use magic beyond the level. An intermediate magician like him could easily use magic below the sixth order, and with magic items, he could use advanced magic of the seventh order, but now he completely burned his life and an extraordinary magic item. The power that appeared from his body this time he would use an eighth-order high-level magic.

"Oh, dragon breath is good, but my kitten isn't a vegetarian either, hehe. ”

At this moment, Salian, who had suppressed the castle tower, saw all this, but he did not take any action, but just happily watched his lieutenant become a major general step by step. Although Aphroa is a young girl and has not been practicing martial arts for a long time, what she has learned is the essence of generations of terrifying knights for thousands of years, and her talent is even higher than that of Salian, so the Duke of New Mark is full of confidence in her.

"Drink, let's be wiped out under my dragon's breath!

An extremely hot breath erupted violently from the mage's body, and the soldiers of Gra who were protecting him around him were also directly vaporized by the magic impact.

Aphroa, on the other hand, was already prepared, calmly removing the tower shield from her back as her opponent chanted, and using the steel nails at the bottom of the shield to secure the tower shield in front of her, as if she wanted to resist the blow head-on.

"Well, let me see your progress, kitten. ”

Under Salian's easy appreciation, he saw the scorching dragon's breath crash into the tower shield as if it were substance, and burst into a burst of dazzling light.

This magic of human-simulating the Red Dragon was invented by an archmage from the ancient Empire, who had made a pact with the Red Dragons and was able to learn some of their powers. One of the magic he eventually invented was the "Dragon's Breath", a magic that spews flames by compressing a large amount of mana energy. In fact, it is a very simple and crude magic, but it cannot be used without a magician level or above, which is why it is designated as an eighth-order magic. Now it is activated by an intermediate mage at the cost of his life, and his power has not diminished in the slightest.

As the flames gradually dissipated, the magician found that the opponent in front of him was still intact, and the tower shield was even more brilliant after the flames were scorched.

"Ah, I don't believe it! I don't believe it! He roared hysterically, his face flushing an unnatural red.

Unfortunately, today's end has also come, and in the moment before he falls, all he sees is the image of a hammer head wrapped in purple flames running through him.

With a loud bang, the heavy iron chain that sealed the gate was cut by Aphroa, and the gate was opened. The main army of Mulassen, which had been prepared, swarmed in, and these brave soldiers in the helmets of the cornices soon took the gatehouse, and the Gera guards scattered in all directions.

Just as victory was imminent, Hilda, who was supposed to stay in the camp, suddenly came to the side of the smug Salian, and she simply said a word.

"Salian, Queen Lydia has been attacked. ”

"Hmph, sure enough, it's still coming, taking our army out of the city, and launching a sneak attack when the rear is empty?!!What is the situation of Her Majesty?" Seeing that there was no commotion in the army, Salian understood that the Queen was not killed.

"She didn't suffer any injuries herself, except that the nasty nun who protected her was injured. "Sure enough, the Black Dragon Girl has an instinctive hostility towards a nun who uses the power of light.

"Haha, there should be nothing going on here, let me go back and see, do you want to have fun here, or go back with me?"

"I'm not interested in any strong opponents, so let's go back. ”

After ordering Aphroa to command her army to expand the victory, Salion, who flew using the "Simulated Hovering" flight, spotted Queen Lydia's Imperial Banner halfway through the road. The queen was extraordinary, riding on a brown steed and wearing splendid silver armor, and the assassination she had just suffered had no effect on her.

"Your Majesty, please forgive me for being late. ”

"Aiqing, this is not the place where you should come, you don't fight on the front line, and you actually give up command for the safety of the rest of the people!"

"Your Majesty, the minister is guilty. The minister is too reckless and reckless. Now our army is under the command of the minister's lieutenant Aphroya, she has conquered the city gates and killed the defenders, and tonight's victory will surely belong to your majesty!"

"Well, I remember that you have made outstanding achievements in this battle, and Yu will no longer pursue it, so come into the city with me!"

"Obey the will. ”

Such a combination of grace and power is worth learning from Salian.

"Your Majesty, I heard that Miss Selena was injured, I don't know what the specific situation is?"

"Alas, her life was saved, but ......"

"What's wrong?"

Queen Lydia frowned, and continued.

"The other party is a master of assassination and poisoning, although Miss Selena killed him on the spot, but she was also hit by the opponent's death before death, the situation is not good, you can go to Yu's carriage to see, I let Don Loni accompany her. ”

"Okay, I don't know if I can help. ”

"Well, Salian Aiqing, I have one more thing to warn you of, remember not to be surprised by what you see, otherwise it will irritate Miss Selena!"

"Well, I know. ”

Salian, who did not know why, nodded, then jumped into the carriage, knocked lightly on the door, and announced his name in the most gentlemanly tone.

"Ah, it is you, dear Count St. Valentine, come quickly. Countess Don Lony happily opened the door for Salion.

Because it was Queen Lydia's carriage, and the interior was so spacious that even two young girls and a man did not look crowded, Sallian found Miss Selena sitting motionless at the far end of the carriage, and he did not say a word when he entered. He also wears a hood on his head, and he can't see his face and expression clearly.

Miss Don Lonney, on the other hand, winked at Salian in some embarrassment, meaning that she didn't know anything, and asked him to ask Selena herself.
