Earl William dislikes his lord Duke Ian very much, and the reason is that the other party simply asks him to regularly go to the other party's court to serve as a court mage for a while according to feudal obligations, and most of the time he goes there to either be in a daze or educate a few annoying imps in his family, but the most unsatisfactory thing is that his ideas are often refuted by the other party's genuine court mage. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

The other party's justified court mages are two expert-level old man mages, who are stubborn in their thinking, advocate improving their knowledge level and actual combat ability, and oppose relying too much on foreign objects to achieve their own goals. This was not only the idea of the two of them, but also the thoughts of most of the mages.

This time to obey the call of his lord, although there is great resistance, but there are still very great benefits. Because in this war, he can conduct actual combat tests on his alchemy products, and if the effect reaches the desired effect, then he will also leave a strong mark in history, and perhaps the world will change because of himself.

I'm going to test my test specimens separately, whether it's more powerful to drop them with a stone thrower, or better to dig a hole and bury them under a castle for blasting, or whether they can be used as a spellcasting material for great results.

But there are many unexpected things.

At this moment, a large number of horses' hooves slammed on the floor were heard from behind, and although the sound was reduced because the ground became like a swamp, the momentum contained in it was still deeply reflected in the hearts of everyone.

A large number of cavalry poured out of the forest behind the camp, turning into a black torrent that swept across the camp like a devastating torrent. Everywhere they passed, there were heavy casualties, a large number of tents were directly trampled by the opponent's iron hooves, and the opposing mages also rode on horses and constantly roamed around every corner of the battlefield, using various fire spells to create all kinds of panic, incinerate materials and utensils.

The lower three of the five stone throwers were destroyed in a matter of moments, turning into three blazing bonfires that shone among everyone on the battlefield.

The weakness of a mage lord was completely exposed at this moment, and it became the main reason for losing the battle.

Mage lords generally don't care about the construction of their own territory, and the limited funds will be invested in their own magic research as much as possible, and their advantage is that they will promote the birth of a high-level mage, but the disadvantage is also very obvious, only the lord is a high-end combat power, and the army under it is insufficient because of insufficient construction funds and the organization of the officers is obviously lacking.

The army brought by Earl William was only more than 3,000 men, in addition to the more than 3,000 levies left by Duke Ian to use as cannon fodder. The base camp of the army of more than 6,000 people was powerless under the charge of more than 800 cavalry, and it did not even have the ability to effectively organize resistance.

"My lord, let's retreat for the time being!" Earl William's chief guard immediately proposed to his lord when he saw that the defeat was assured. However, when he saw that his lord's eyes had become fanatical, he knew that something was wrong.

How unbalanced the tilt of resources is can be fully reflected in the clothes of Earl William. A complete set of full-body plate armor forged from precious magical alloys, and every corner of it has a variety of enchantment effects, not only shockproof, decompression, weight reduction, but also a large number of metal hardening effects.

A dazzling green light appeared on his hands with plate armor gloves, and under the horrified gaze of the people around him, Count William inserted his hands directly into the box containing the experimental items behind him, and his arms suddenly forced, and the wooden box with spell reinforcement was lifted like a thin piece of paper.

Count William picked up one of the clods of earth, glowing golden, and it shone brightly in the light of the sun and fire.

The light reflected in Count William's eyes, causing the other party's pupils to constrict: "Go and stay in a safe place by yourselves, and in a while something more worthy of witnessing will happen than the end of the world." ”

"Your Excellency...... Lord" Count William's crazy expression frightened the guards around him into uncontrollable form, and his body was obviously trembling.

The enemy's cavalry was getting closer and closer to him, and the chief of the guard had no way to ask for the consent of his lord, so he casually clicked on the few guards around him who could still stay: "A few of you will carry the lord away immediately, and the others will be with me!"

"I order you to get out of here immediately, I'm a nobleman, those people won't do anything to me!!" William, who was in a state of madness, no longer had the majesty of the nobility and the mystery of a mage in the past, waving his hands and constantly shaking off the guards around him.

The cavalry was getting closer and closer, and the helpless soldiers could only leave alone. After all, his lord is right, he is a nobleman, he can still pay the ransom, he is just a nameless soldier, it is unknown whether he will be killed or captured, and there is still a family waiting for him to return.

"Today, let's first experiment with how powerful it can be used as a spell casting material against cavalry on flat ground!" Holding a clod of earth shining with golden light in each hand, he slowly walked towards the cavalry in front of him, and the magic power on his hands continued to flow into it, making the golden light on it even more dazzling.

The dry, cold wind blew over the covered helmet, passing through the eyeholes and onto the skin, and the cold was unbearable. Shilinya followed the cavalry brigade and continued to attack, and along the way, she also used the Great Fireball Technique to ignite a stone throwing machine, and the flames that soared into the sky were very demoralizing to the enemy army. Such an act of stimulating the blood dispelled the cold feeling on her face, and Shirinya, who was overly passionate, also felt that sweat had oozed from her face.

In order to obtain greater war gains in the attack, the cavalry units have been divided into dozens of cavalry squads, constantly chasing and killing deserters with their backs to them. Shilinya, who had no combat experience and battlefield adaptability, listened to the orders of the communication mages in the army, but still lost her team, but Denton and Delfil, who were defending her safety, still dutifully led a dozen cavalry to find her back in the vast sea of people.

Fortunately, the other party was alone and not surrounded by a group of soldiers. Whether it was Denton and Delphi, or the more than a dozen cavalrymen who came with them, they all pinched a cold sweat for this duchess and young lady.

"Found a big fish!" Shilinya galloped at the front of the group, and the horses controlled by Yaxie kept squeezing their strength to satisfy the excitement of the rider on their back.

Shilinya, who has been transformed into an efficient self-walking runner, continues to harvest the remnants of the defeated soldiers along the way, and the reason for this is of course due to the teachings of the bunch of tentacle monsters in the realm of Nulki. Double-line, one-way spellcasting, a spell casting technique that can at least double the power of spells that only expert mages can master, was optimized and modified by the tentacles and used by Shirinya in this battle. Many soldiers who didn't know the situation thought that the other party was an expert magician like their lord, and they formed an irretrievable rout everywhere they went.

Not only the soldiers on the other side, but also Denton and Dalefield, who were found later, and a group of cavalrymen were frightened by this skill of an expert mage.

"Be careful! don't move on!" Delphi still kept a cool head, and immediately identified who this extremely luxurious local tyrant standing in front of him was, "The other party is Earl William, an expert mage!"

Along the way, with the level of her own intermediate mage, she jumped to the level of a weakened expert mage, which has made Shilinya's confidence skyrocket. Even if the other party is an expert-level mage, I will bombard you! If you don't jump the level and fight monsters, how can you be called a qualified traverser!

The fiery red mana streams on his hands quickly converged in the air in front of him, rapidly expanding into a dark red high-pressure fireball with a diameter of two basketballs. Before it was completely stable, it used its power to launch an expert-level mage on its way.

The moment the fireball was launched, Shirinya, who had already accumulated some combat experience, immediately controlled her mount and dodged to the side, and the people behind her didn't need any hints to understand what they should do.

Earl William couldn't help but lose his mind for a moment when he saw that the other party actually had a strange expert mage carrying a book that could be used as a shield, why did the other party not have the skillful spell-casting skills but did not have the corresponding quality of magic power?

After less than a second of distraction, Count William recovered. The compressed fireball released by the opponent is okay, but you don't need to dodge it, because now it's your home field!

"Let's go!" the two golden clods of earth in his hand were thrown out of his hands, and the flying objects filled with most of the magic power of Earl William quickly attacked in the direction that the incoming cavalry avoided.

Count William, who had some experimental data for reference, immediately spread his legs and ran back, forgetting in a panic that there was an attacking compressed fireball behind him.

The earth trembled slightly, and the vibration sensation comparable to a small earthquake spread everywhere within a radius of five miles. In the middle of the Cold Creek Castle, the city gates were opened, and the guards who supported the friendly forces swept away the dust shaken off the city walls, and the two sides in the battlefield looked at the smoke and dust raised by the explosion up to twenty meters high, and felt the shock wave that was visible to the naked eye.

The injuries and losses of more than 800 cavalrymen had been negligible until now, but the severe shock of the horses had caused the riders on their backs to fall to the ground or the shock wave to the ground and crushed the riders on their backs, and now caused the heaviest casualties since the beginning of the war.

The spellcaster's arms were already bleeding uncontrollably, and the clothes on the arms were sticking to the skin due to the blood, which was very uncomfortable in the winter. But Shirinya, already dizzy, didn't have time to care if she was comfortable, and the intense pain in her head made it difficult for her to think.

Sensing the danger behind her, Shirinya resolutely gave up running and evaded, and quickly cast a guardian enchantment that she had learned from the tentacles, the most powerful group defensive spell she could cast. The effect was obvious, no one was killed or injured in all of them, but all of them fell to the ground, including their horses.

Shirin, the only one who could still stand, was handsome in less than three seconds before she fell to the ground. The back of a book that could be used as a shield was slowly falling, leaving the soldier slowly rising.
