Chapter 42: Mochizuki Castle's Counterattack (4)
Despite such and such shortcomings, although the mana of many magicians was wasted, but after all, the strength of Mochizuki City was strong, and it still completed the blessing of magic in time.
Among the 5 archmages in Mochizuki City, Clifford, the deputy of Blair's magic legion, is the main one, and this archmage first activated a magic array, which is quite sensitive to the fluctuation of abnormal magic in a certain area, and if Ryan starts to launch a forbidden spell attack, it is better to give a warning in advance. However, today Ryan seems to have forgotten the fact that he can ban spells, and he even rarely makes a move, allowing his army to attack, only when he destroyed the walls of Mochizuki City at the beginning, and dealt with the sword saint Osverd of Mochizuki City, that the magicians of Mochizuki City detected the violent magic fluctuations caused by Ryan's spell casting.
Of course, these magicians in Mochizuki City naturally didn't understand that the level 8 magic that killed the sword saint Osverd was released by Adela, a female warrior who didn't know magic at all, because the secret method of borrowing mana that Galib taught to Ryan did not belong to this continent at all, and no one had heard of its existence before. Moreover, the magic array drawn by Adela after borrowing mana, the fluctuation of mana is exactly the same as that of Ryan's own spell, they all belong to Ryan, and there can be no difference, so it is natural that the magicians of Mochizuki City cannot be aware of it.
When the two sides blessed the defensive magic, the magic war officially began, the five great mages in Mochizuki City were ready to concentrate the strength of five people to deal with Ryan, so they did not make a move, and the other mages had limited mana, and it was impossible to attack targets 800 meters away, only the 25 mages each chose their best high-level magic, and began to launch a magic attack on Cassano's military formation.
Seeing that the Magus on the other side had already chanted magic, Adela gave the order for the whole army to move forward with a blank face, and Cassano's neat army began to slowly move forward. After traveling about 100 meters, the Magus on the opposite side completed their magic one after another, "Blazing Flame", "Meteorite Falling", "Thunder Falling from the Sky", and "Rapid Cooldown...... All kinds of level 7 magic swarmed, and the sky was immediately enveloped in colorful colors.
After seeing a large number of high-level magic flying towards him, Adela glanced at Ryan beside him, only to find that he still had a confident smile on his face, so Adela shouted loudly: "Stand up, raise your shield, magic apprentice hold up the defensive barrier!"
As soon as Adela gave the order, the 5,000 soldiers of the Guards immediately stood in place, and they blocked the Mithril Tower shield in their hands diagonally in front of them with a fairly neat movement, while Barbara commanded his magic apprentices to hold up a halo of magic to resist the magic flying in the sky.
"Woo!" several "Fiery Fury" magic trailed the long flame tail behind him and fell towards Cassano's military formation, and the compressed fire core that flew in front of it hovered in mid-air after flying above the target's head, and then the flame energy in the compressed fire core exploded, spreading wildly in all directions with the position of the fire core as the center.
Almost all of Cassano's magic legions are young people, although they train very weekdays, but they have not experienced too many life-and-death battles, and now when they see that terrible high-level magic coming head-on, it is inevitable that some people will be afraid in their hearts, so that the spell casting is interfered with and fails, when the "scorching flames" When the flame energy contained in the magic exploded, many people were not in the magic defense array, how could their bodies compete with such powerful magic, they were all turned to ashes by the wild flames in an instant.
The power of the "Scorching Flame" has not yet been released, and the follow-up magic such as "meteorite flying" has also descended, thunder and lightning in the sky, countless arm-thick lightning bolts frantically slashed towards the Cassano army on the ground, and the burning lava stones also ruthlessly smashed into the Cassano's army formation with a terrifying whistling sound.
At this time, Barbara's magic legion's lack of strength is fully revealed, although 10 people cast spells for a group of 10 people can let them release spells beyond the level, but as long as one of these 10 people delays casting spells due to fear, timidity and other factors, then what awaits this magic team is a catastrophe.
When the first ** attack of the Magisters of Mochizuki City ended, the raging Cassano military array slowly revealed from the shroud of flames, smoke, ice mist, etc., and the neat military formation suffered a heavy blow because of the magic attack, at least 2 percent of the magic apprentices were unable to block this ** Killed by magic, their deaths also affected the Cassano warriors who were protected by them, and the neat army was devastated by the death of the warriors who composed it, and it was the first time that Cassano's three elite troops had suffered such large-scale casualties.
Seeing that Cassano's army had lost at least 1,000 men under this round of magic attacks, the warriors of Mochizuki City all let out cheers, many of them had given up the idea of fleeing or surrendering, and some of them waved their fists excitedly, shouting in their hearts, in their opinion, the enemy army that brought them great pressure finally met the nemesis, maybe after such a few attacks, the victory or defeat can be decided, right?
Seeing that her army had suffered a lot of losses, Adra's face finally changed, she subconsciously looked at Ryan, but found that Ryan's face was full of anger, obviously the lord who had always had a good temper finally got angry: "Barbara, what are you doing? Don't you know your own strength? Don't think that you can release high-level magic and become a high-level magician? You actually resist the opponent's 25 level 7 magic? Do you think you are a legendary mage?" And you, Adela, what are you stupid about, hurry up and command the shooters to fight back! Do you want me to take over your command? Then you don't want to have a chance to go to war again!"
Lane's reprimand also brought Adela back to her senses, and she didn't bother to review herself for overestimating herself and underestimating others because of a series of small victories, and hurriedly gave orders for Letoz and Roger to command their men to fire bows and arrows. These rampant archers had also lost hundreds of men in the magic attack just now, and after receiving the order to attack indiscriminately, they pulled the bowstring in their hands and shot out the anger in their hearts.
"Wow!" Thousands of feathered arrows flew into the sky, and since they were only a few hundred meters away from each other, these archers did not choose to throw them, so that the arrows they shot would only draw a slightly arc-shaped trajectory in the air, and the speed of flight would be faster.
As soon as the first wave of arrows was fired, the archers standing in the second row did not hesitate to pull the bowstrings in their hands and shoot the second wave of arrows, followed by the third wave...... By the time the last row of Windswept Marksmen had fired the fifth wave of attacks, the Shooters in the first row had already drawn their arrows and placed them on top of the Mithril Longbow, so the sixth wave of attacks was launched.
With the strength of Cassano's popular marksman, 5 rows of non-stop rounds of fire are enough to cause a non-stop attack, and because there are so many enemies on the opposite side, they also need to aim too much, just shoot at the approximate direction. The dense arrows pierced the air and emitted a sharp whistling sound, forming a dark cloud in the sky, directly hanging over the heads of the Mochizuki Castle army.
"Bang!boom!" The army of Mochizuki City immediately tasted the retaliation of the Cassano army, and most of the tens of thousands of soldiers who were temporarily conscripted together only had a spear or sword, and there was no shield at all, and it was impossible to wear well-protected armor, and under such a dense rain of arrows, there was no way to resist the arrows in the sky, and the losses skyrocketed.
Although there are many clever warriors who hold up the door panel or a relatively sturdy object to block their heads, most of these things are wooden, and it is impossible to stop the piercing power of the sharp arrows fired by the Mithril longbow. Without rigorous training, these fighters basically show the instinctive reaction of dropping their hands or wiping their wounds, which can only expose themselves to the dense rain of arrows, and eventually turn into hedgehogs and fall to the ground.
The bow and arrow counterattack of the Cassano army caused heavy losses to the warriors of Mochizuki City, and many low-level magicians were also killed under the dense rain of arrows because they stood relatively high, but those high-level magicians were well protected, especially the 25 magicians, with their identity, they naturally had excellent martial arts retinues around them, and with the protection of these retinues, they were not harmed in the rain of arrows, but they also had to interrupt their second wave of magic attacks because of dodging the arrows that came from the attack.
"Have the archers target the opposing mages and use the Broken Arrows. Have the magic apprentices attack these minions with magic. In any case, you can't mess with your heart, Adela. Ryan's voice appeared in Adela's heart, and this was the first time that Ryan used the soul contract between himself and Adela to transmit his orders directly to Adela's mind.
After receiving Ryan's last words of encouragement, Adela calmed down a lot, she groaned slightly, feeling that the greatest threat to herself among the enemies was the group of mages in Mochizuki City, as for those ordinary warriors, Adela believed that it would be difficult for them to do any damage to their warriors, so Adela immediately ordered the Wind Archer to continue to suppress the spell cast by the mages on the opposite side with arrows, and then gave the order to charge to the soldiers of the Guards.
