Chapter Thirty-Nine: Mochizuki Castle's Counterattack
A solid golem suddenly appeared in front of Adela, it almost squeezed between Adela and Oswald, who turned into a burning man, and protected Adela behind him.
The golem that suddenly appeared was made by Ryan with the Andrew golem in the elven queen's bedroom, and its raw material Andrew steel even had to be smelted with dragon breath, so naturally he didn't care about the level of flame hurricane in front of him, and after hugging Oswald, who had become a burning man, the golem took a big step and walked into the flame hurricane with Oswald again.
The flaming hurricane formed and disappeared quickly, and after a few minutes, the raging flames brought by the "meteorite meteor" slowly extinguished, and the area it once shrouded was completely scorched, and almost everything was reduced to ashes, except for the Andrew Golem standing proudly in place.
Adela patted her chest with palpitations, perhaps because she had just walked around from the edge of danger, she had always been heroic and showed a rare coquettish demeanor, seeing that Ryan's heart fluttered slightly, and she couldn't help but say: "Adela!"
"Huh?" Adela looked at Ryan with a questioning look.
"Actually, you're beautiful too. Ryan honestly spoke his mind.
However, Lane's words made Adela angry, he had served him personally before, but Lane turned a blind eye to his beauty, causing Adela to think that he had become ugly. Now hearing Ryan's heartfelt praise, Adela naturally blossomed in her heart, but she didn't express it because of the woman's reserve, she just gave Ryan a fierce look.
Ryan laughed a few times, and then said: "Oswald died in battle, our hard work was not in vain, although he is a good opponent worthy of respect, but it is a pity that as our enemy, he will only be reassuring after death." ”
"Well, shall we move on, or shall we rest in place?" Adela asked.
Ryan secretly turned the Andrew Golem into a palm-sized statuette, and then put it in his storage pocket, and then said: "I have asked your lieutenant to send a signal, Lettoz and Roger will soon move closer to us, if I guess correctly, Oswald's biggest purpose in coming this time is to delay time, and this is also in line with our previous plan, otherwise how could I let you test our results some time ago?"
"Oh. Adela nodded and said no more. At this time, the Cassano warriors who were in charge of guarding around had returned under the leadership of the captain, and Ryan once again looked at the battlefield in front of him, and returned to the team with Adela in public, re-placing himself under the protection of thousands of soldiers.
The battle arena between Adela and Oswade was shielded by Ryan with some kind of magic from beginning to end, so Blair, who was in the Magic Guild of Mochizuki City, couldn't see what was going on at all, only after a meteorite meteor flew down in the sky, Blair closed his eyes in pain, he thought that Ryan had taken action himself, and his old friend Oswade was definitely not spared.
When Ryan returned to Cassano's army, his magical enchantment disappeared, and the only thing Blair could see with his "farsightedness" was the scorched earth.
One of Blair's students was surprised and said, "Where's Lord Oswald?"
Blair slowly opened his eyes and said in a painful voice: "After the legendary mage made a move, he has no chance of surviving at all, this is the gap." ”
"Ahh
Blair didn't answer, just turned to look at "Lily", who didn't know what her face was because she was wearing a mask, but from "Lily's" voice, you could hear a hint of ridicule: "Old fellow, how much more do you have to pay to make up your mind?" Or would you rather destroy the entire Mochizuki City than let me make a move?"
Blair still didn't speak, but there was a painful choice in his eyes, and it was clear that he was in a state of extreme ambivalence. After a long time, Blair finally made up his mind, he waved his hand, and said: "Go to the 5 archmagus, 25 magus, and help the 'nobles' fight back against Cassano's invasion." If you win, then nothing needs to be said again, and if you do...... Then I can only use the last ban. ”
Everyone present was stunned, they didn't know what the final prohibition that Blair was referring to, and since they had enough power to fight the forbidden spell mage, why didn't they take it out immediately, but waited until the last moment? Only Lily's eyes flashed, but because she had a mask on her face, no one else saw it.
"Report, the number of people has been counted! There are 4,410 guards of Mochizuki City that have been assembled, 1,510 ordinary soldiers who are responsible for maintaining law and order, 2,409 mercenaries hired in the city, and 6,921 private guards of various nobles and wealthy people, a total of 15,250 people. ”
"Is that all?" said Julius, codenamed "Noble," shook his head in his heart after listening to his men's instructions, but on the surface he looked confident, as if these improvised armies were the most heroic warriors on the continent, and that they could defeat all enemies if they struck.
In addition, for this number, it also made Julius vigilant in his heart, for thousands of years, the real army of Mochizuki City was not as large as the number of private soldiers hired by various nobles and wealthy people in the city, which is definitely the root of **, but unfortunately he is also one of these nobles, and even he Julius was able to enter the six-member council as an ordinary person, because he represented the interests of these nobles and rich people, so he knew that this situation was wrong, but he had no way or courage to try to solve it.
Of course, then again, the main force of Mochizuki City is facing off against Cassano's army on the northern border, and it is naturally impossible for there to be too many soldiers here, not to mention that the city of Mochizuki City has enjoyed peace for thousands of years under the management of a six-member council dominated by magicians, and who would have thought that an enemy would attack this magical capital, while those usually arrogant magicians disappeared one by one and did not dare to move.
At this time, the "gentleman" also walked over, and the middle-aged man, who was also a member of the six-member council with Julius, also took off the mask on his face, revealing that it was the famous artist Vlad Tagule of Mochizuki City.
Looking at the man in front of him who still maintained his graceful demeanor even when the situation was extremely critical, Julius asked softly, "Vlad, how many men do you have over there?"
Vlad Tagul, codenamed "Gentleman", shook his head slightly and said: "Although there are more than 50,000 on my side, but these people may not be of much help, they were just ordinary citizens before, but they came all the way to see the young and strong, but think that they have no combat experience at all, even if they hold a weapon in their hands, they cannot be called warriors." ”
"Well, I don't know, but I can't care about it now, one more is better than one less. Julius smiled bitterly and said, "To be able to recruit so many people in a short period of time, we can do our best." Well, I don't think it's better to pick out the most elite fighters and put them together and use them at the most critical time, don't you think?"
Vlad glanced at Julius deeply, he naturally understood what the other party meant by this, once they did this, then Mochizuki City would inevitably use a large number of ordinary people to resist the attack of Cassano's army, and when the enemy was weak and exhausted, these recuperated warriors would counterattack, which was equivalent to the life of the civilian fighting to protect their homeland in exchange for the final victory.
"History is written by the victors. What's more, even if we fail, Cassano will not want to rule this place in peace because his hands are covered with blood. Vlad said this calmly, which made Julius's heart tremble slightly. In his impression, the gentle artist in front of him was only very proficient in fine wine and antiques, and he was able to become a member of the Council of Six, but he also inherited it from his ancestors, but this position represented a large number of artists in Mochizuki City, some of them served the nobles, and they had long been inseparable from their employers, and some helped the magicians to make magical items, and Vlad's ascension to the throne could be regarded as a result of the compromise of power between the two sides.
But Julius never expected that when Vlad said such words plainly, there was a faint smell of blood on his body, if it weren't for the beautiful male artist standing in front of him, Julius would definitely wonder if the other party had ever commanded thousands of troops, at least in Julius's opinion, if it wasn't for the murderous hemp, how could it be contaminated with this smell?
Julius didn't care about what to think about, but now that everyone was on the same side, and since interests were intertwined and entrenched in the city, any move against the water would mean self-destruction. If his companion is trustworthy, why should he bother with the private affairs of others?, and Julius began, "Then the matter is settled." We immediately sent these people to Moonstream Square, which is the only way to get to the Magic Guild. With a large number of high-level magicians sent by Blair, we can probably contain that little forbidden spell mage? As long as he doesn't make a move, we can't contain Cassano's army with ten times the number of troops? As long as the war is deadlocked, we can use our advantages to drag down the enemy, and the final victory will be ours. ”
