Chapter Seventy-Three: Restarting the War
Sosa didn't wait for the kidnapper leader to blackmail again, as Lear handed the two mages directly to the forest dwarves and happily took the three hundred pounds of crystals from the storehouse in Hot Springs - two third-level mages were obviously worth much more than one second-level mage, and the elves only recognized a few bars and did not recognize their identities.
In Lear's opinion, it is enough to do this kind of thing once in the short term, and he must know how to accept it when he sees it, at least for the time being, he does not want to attract the attention of the top brass of Erathia's army.
The hatred value belongs to the Erathians and the forest elves, so Lear won't be idle and go to that line of fire.
Unsurprisingly, Eufrittin sent the two mages to the front line at the first time, and thoughtfully tied them to the flagpole of the lucky city, and then hundreds of elves fired thousands of arrows directly into a hornet's nest - the druids did not join the Antaglisi Continental Mage Association, they only worshiped Lady Luck.
This greatly boosted the morale of the warriors of the Lucky City, as well as the anger of the Erathians who were hostile to them, and the war began again after the reading of a joint crusade from the royal family and the Royal Magical Society.
Sosa finally got a chance to show their skills, and catapults and large ballistas were pushed under the castle of Fortune in the neat trumpets of the siege soldiers, huge stones covered with flames ignited by oil, smashing against the tall walls and bursting open, but the Erathians underestimated the city-building skills of the forest dwarves.
Their besieging weapons of high hope did not make much progress on the solid walls built by the dwarves with excellent architectural skills, and even in the midst of the roar of the boulders, sharp arrows continued to be fired at Erathia's army from the strong turrets in the walls and the gaps in the women's walls.
The elves and dwarves worked in perfect harmony, and the Erathians were left alone under the tall walls and poisonous thorns.
They sent griffons to open a gap in the walls, and the marksmen and monks advanced all the way to the front of the trebuchets in order to provide more long-range suppression support to the besieging forces.
But then the Pegasus and Green Dragons rising from the rear of Lucky City became a nightmare for the griffins, as their throats or wings were cut open by the sword in the hands of the Pegasus Knights, and some of them became lunch for the enraged dragons.
The sky was filled with terrible screams, and every now and then a griffon fell head-on, and the bright red blood and acid from the green dragon's breath fell to the ground like rain, and those unfortunate enough to be contaminated immediately covered their wounds and let out a wail of pain.
Even the Holy Light Spells of the Clerics and Priests could not instantly dispel the corrosive damage from the dragon's breath.
It wasn't until Hart personally led the angels to the battlefield that Erathia, who was already on the verge of defeat, gradually stabilized his position.
The most severely damaged in this battle were the infantry directly involved in the climb and siege, followed by the griffon legions, and the archers and monks were also damaged to varying degrees - in order to cover the griffons in the sky who were slaughtered by the green dragon and the Pegasus knights, they launched a back-fire on the enemy, but then they were met with frenzied revenge from the elves on the walls.
The most undamaged were the New Crusaders and the cavalry regiment under the command of Baron Talia, and the cavalry and the Crusaders were useless if they couldn't break through the thick walls of Lucky City, but there was nothing to be thankful for.
Because everyone knows that behind the tall gates of Lucky City, which are wrapped in thick iron sheets, unicorns and treant warriors can rush out at any moment.
Strictly speaking, the griffin legion was the most seriously injured in this battle, because compared to the huge base of the infantry legion, the total number of griffons was only 500, and more than half of the losses in this battle.
And this is just a small test of the two sides before the start of the big war.
If you continue to fight, the more tragic will be to come.
But Lear didn't care much about that, and now that he was taking Adela around the magical guilds of Hot Springs, making such a small request after making a great contribution to the forest dwarves, Lear was easily satisfied.
Druids are very generous to their friends, and they don't create the stupid paradoxes of the Sarabhutto Mage Society.
The only fly in the ointment is that because of being in the rear, the magic guild in Hot Spring City is only level two, which makes Lear a little melancholy.
Luckily, it also contains two spells that are very useful to him - Blindness and Thunderbolt, and as for the others, Adela will use.
Studying the magic book of the stone frame word for word, Lear felt that he needed to learn qi magic, and it would be nice if he could pick up an elemental wild city in the wilderness, but then he couldn't help but feel disheartened when he thought that he didn't have the money to build it.
Only when you really come to this world will you understand how difficult it is to accumulate those virtual numbers.
More often than not, gold coins with more than three digits are bloody when they are in the pocket.
It didn't take Lear long to master these two spells, thanks to the perfect body and exchange of benefits that the Dragon God of Order had chosen for him, but now he was a little dazed at the thought of that great goal.
Yes, there is a great evil hidden in the dark void of that distant universe, and I am going to destroy it.
But I'm still a creep.
Dysphoria.
When Lear walked down the stairs, he saw Adela sitting under the bookshelf, she looked at the book seal of the slow Dafa before Lear went up, Lear habitually looked up at the sky outside, about half a day had passed, and then felt that Adela who was reading quietly was really beautiful.
Excluding the problem of whether Adela's brain capacity is enough, at her current rate, to fully learn the ten spells in the Magic Guild, excluding the three she has already mastered, Lear conservatively estimates that it will take about two months.
Lear's conservative estimate is based on the fact that Adela has a higher talent second only to him, and although the current time is of little practical significance to Lear, he still decides to do something in the next two months so that he will not be so boring.
But after thinking about it, he didn't think of anything interesting to do, and just as he was about to call Haag to go with him to rob, Jenny suddenly appeared in front of him.
"We need your help, Mr. Lear. ”
The druid's face was worried.
"Oh, what can I do for you, and if I can, I'm more than willing to preserve our friendship once again. ”
Lear replied solemnly.
"Three hundred kilometers west of Hot Springs, in the Azure Valley, several Elassian scout squads broke through, and the centaur warriors guarding the valley were defeated by them, but the reinforcements that went to stop the enemy again were almost wiped out.
According to the soldiers who have escaped, there are several magicians and high-ranking swordsmen in the enemy's ranks, and I am about to rush there now, but as you know, there are not many high-end combat forces in Hot Spring City, and His Excellency Everritin escorted a batch of supplies to Lucky City yesterday, so I urgently need your help to defend against the invaders, otherwise if the enemy breaks through into the dense forest in the rear, it will pose a great threat to our logistical supply and the safety of the wounded. ”
Although she was anxious, Jenny still restrained herself from stating the seriousness of the situation, and after saying that, she looked at Lear anxiously and expectantly, waiting for the latter's reply.
"Give me a moment to gather my companions, and if you send someone to strengthen the guards of the Magic Guild, so that no one disturbs my fellow mage. ”
After saying that, he beckoned to Haag and said a few words, and the barbarian went to find someone in high spirits.
