Chapter Twenty-Seven: Nazat Academy
The city of Genoha, now all the citizens are in a state of extreme tension, because they have just learned that they have been attacked by the forces of the dark Ones. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
What the hell is going on? Isn't the Dark Empire a country in the East thousands of miles away, and how did those undead armies get here?
This is not only the confusion of the citizens, but even the king of the Duchy of Carbon, Karnal, is puzzled and is gathering his ministers to discuss this urgent matter.
"What about the army? How many troops do we have here now?" After all, it had been a long time since there had been a war, and in the face of this kind of war, and the enemy army was just outside the city gates, Karnal also looked a little out of shape.
"Report to Your Majesty, our army is mainly stationed on the border defense line, and all the troops in the city are about five thousand, plus the manpower sent by the Great Sage Kingdom, the number of troops in the city should be about seven thousand. The general in charge of the city's defense hurriedly stepped forward to report.
"What about the enemy? How many enemies are there?"
"I don't know, but it is said that the reconnaissance unit sent out has been completely wiped out, and we have no effective information. However, it is speculated that there should be 10,000 undead. ”
10,000 undead creatures are only 3,000 more than the guards in the city, plus they have the advantage of geographical advantage, so there shouldn't be any big problem, but why are there always invitations for reinforcements from the front?
The king slowly regained his composure and looked at the ministers, hoping that they would give him an explanation.
"Your Majesty, please hurry up and give the order for Nazat Academy to activate the fortress mode. At this time, a gray-haired old minister spoke progressively, "If this continues, Genaha will not be able to hold on." ”
"What, can't hold it?" said Karnal in an inquiring tone, "how is it possible, how can it be impossible to defend a city guarded by 10,000 men against 7,000 men, and the city is still Genaha?"
"Your Majesty, it is impossible for humans to be compared to the undead. The old minister replied solemnly, "I have studied those evil creatures, they have no pain, and they are not easily injured, and now it is night, and their power is greatly increased. 10,000 undead...... IMHO, seven thousand soldiers were no match for them at all. ”
The King looked at the old courtier's wrinkled face, and his earnestness was enough to say it all, not to mention that the old man was the most knowledgeable magician in the country, Jim Lesser.
"Pass my order, Genaha will enter a state of first-level alert, send a letter to General Lumus, who is stationed at the border pass, to lead the soldiers back for reinforcements as quickly as possible, and at the same time, inform the Nazat Academy to bring the academy into a fortress state. ”
From this order, it can be seen that the current king of the Principality of Cubit is not a mediocre person, and once he gets the confirmed information, he will immediately issue a fairly well-prepared battle plan, and there is no ambiguity.
"Kwus, transfer all 500 of my personal guards to your disposal, and make sure that the capital can hold out until reinforcements arrive. By the way, evacuate the students of Nazat Academy, and not let them suffer casualties. ”
Kwus was Genaha's general of the city defense. At such an important juncture, Karnal still has to ensure the safety of those students, this behavior seems absurd, but there are many deep meanings in it. After all, those students were the children of nobles from various countries in the Lion Continent, and if they were harmed in any way, it would cause unnecessary trouble for the Principality of Kabit. Besides, judging from the current situation, the dark forces do have a few moments, and it is estimated that this contest between good and evil will last for a long time, and those students will be the mainstay of the light forces in the future, which is even more important.
After giving the order, Karnal said to the guards beside him, "Go and prepare my horse." ”
"Your Majesty!" said the king, when almost all the ministers below raised objections. They knew that it was too dangerous for their king to go into battle himself.
"Don't worry, I'm in control. Karnal stretched out his hand to interrupt the ministers' persuasion, "I don't intend to fight myself, but I just want to inspect the wounded magicians and boost morale by the way." If the war is in crisis and the king is still hiding in the city, he will be looked down upon by the soldiers. ”
After receiving the king's order, the Nazat Academy decided that the Acting Dean and several other elder-level teachers would discuss the matter as the Headmaster and the expedition team entered the Dark Tower.
Of course, the outcome of the deliberations is needless to say, and you can only do what you are told.
On the Nazat campus, a phrase is constantly repeated with high-pitched magic, and that is to tell students to quickly go to a safe place to take refuge.
Of course, both co-ed schools are also busy with one thing, and that is to prepare for the fortressification of the college.
On the walls of Genaha, a bloody battle between man and the undead is going on.
"Hold on, everyone, reinforcements will be here soon!" said Sincrella, slashing at the skeleton of a crypt monitor lizard that was climbing the walls, and said loudly to the soldiers beside her.
Speaking of reinforcements, even Sincrella himself didn't believe in this sentence, after all, he also knew the strength of the city, although the Great Sage Kingdom expected that the other party would launch an attack on Genaha, but it didn't expect it to be such a huge scale, and the troops sent were not enough to ensure the safety of the city.
"Wouldn't those dark bastards keep a low profile?" Sincrella cursed inwardly.
At this very difficult moment, the general suddenly heard cheers from behind him, he didn't understand what was happening, and before the cheers fell, one magic after another appeared behind him and entered the invading undead ranks.
"What's going on?!" Sincrella asked the soldiers beside her.
"I don't know, but I heard that the king himself went to the front to visit the wounded magicians. I think the real reinforcements are coming. ”
Is the situation already at this point? The need for the king to personally come to the front to appease the army means that he has not many cards in his hand, and can only take risks.
Nevertheless, the presence of the king boosted the morale of the whole army, and the army began to gather again.
However, enthusiasm is not enough, and although the soldiers have persisted in the battle with the determination to die, the huge gap with the undead cannot be bridged, and the human casualties continue to increase, and even Sincrella has many terrible wounds on his body.
"Go on like this, go on like this...... "Sincrella couldn't imagine the outcome, he really didn't want to let despair take over his heart, such a mentality was certain death on the battlefield.
Yet a great sense of despair continued to wash away the hope in the general's heart—the soldiers were dying one after another, their remains were rising again to attack their former companions, and the walls were filled with more and more undead objects, some of which had begun to enter the city. If it goes on like this, it really ...... Is there nothing to be done?
At this moment, a loud boom sounded in the city of Genaha, and a powerful magic force swept through the city.
When the explosion passed, a transparent shield appeared around the city of Genaha. No matter how the undead attacked, the seemingly thin shield didn't show a single crack.
Immediately afterward, many huge fireballs appeared in the sky above the city, overwhelmingly rushing towards the undead legion, instantly burning those bones to ashes.
"What is this?" Sincrilla looked up at the huge shield, not knowing what was happening - he was a general sent by the Great Sage Kingdom, and he had never seen such a magical spectacle.
"It's the Nazat Academy, they're fortressed!" the native soldier probably understood, and excitedly pointed to the two corners of Genaha.
It was in the direction of the two Nazat colleges, where a dazzling pillar of blue light appeared, shooting from the ground to the sky, tearing through the darkness of the canopy. (To be continued.)
