Chapter 480: Hypocrisy (I)
Chapter 480: Hypocrisy (I)
[The third update, the fourth update tomorrow, the chapters of the first two days, are bugs, I'll modify them, sorry]
There was no pleasure in Saleen's heart, he was a little nervous, and the magicians, under his command, took turns attacking the nine magic towers in the city, which were basically concentrated in the center of the city, which was an ancient design, and the Skochenians did not make any changes. If your Elemental Tower lowers its levitation again, it will suffer a deadly attack.
On the first floor of the Magic Tower, those little Skochenian nobles were scared. The Elemental Magic Tower volleyed into the Iron Wall City, the scene was too spectacular, in the center of the Iron Wall City, there were elemental gargoyles destroying buildings, and the periphery was the orange knight setting fire.
In the Iron Wall City, the sound of the building collapsing was too loud, and when it was transmitted to the sky, there was still a shocking feeling. Salin sent his voice into the magic tower with clarity, scaring the little nobles.
Viscount Guge is right, these little nobles have lived there for more than ten or even dozens of generations, and their control over the people is very thorough, and it is not right to kill them all, so it is best to let these people surrender. After this battle, Saleen believed that these petty nobles had little choice.
Of course, there are troops in the city, but even if there are strong people in the army, they are not willing to intercept the orange knights and elemental gargoyles, and the big guy who is 100 meters tall is smashed down with a fist, which is a fatal attack. Cavalry infantry is a concept for elemental creatures, and they can be trampled to death by stepping on them.
Salin let go of his means, and no longer had any scruples, he simply used these elemental creatures to attract the attention of the magic tower, so that the magic tower had no time to fight back, and attacked up and down, and the nine magic towers were actually restrained by him.
In terms of the strength of the two sides, Salin is still slightly stronger, but the nine magic towers are arranged on a land of two miles, and he has to suppress them all, and it takes a lot of effort. Fortunately, Saleen brought thirty-six magicians, more than the magicians in Iron Wall, and released magic in turn, making the magic tower powerless to fight back. The elemental creatures attracted a few more mages to attack, and it was easier for Saleen's side.
The army in the city had two eighth-level mercenary groups, and when these two mercenary groups saw the phantom in the sky as high as a thousand meters, they immediately knew that something was wrong, and began to gather troops to protect their families and retreat. The city can't be defended, the enemy doesn't care about the lives of ordinary people, and those magic won't avoid the residential areas, they will be thrown down for no purpose, destroying the buildings in pieces.
The credibility of the mercenaries is based on being alive, and the families of these mercenaries are in the Iron Wall City, and they would have defended it to the death, but seeing this situation, the mercenaries were the first to waver. Two mercenary groups of 10,000 people organized a retreat, and one of them broke through the small city gate to the south and escorted his family away.
Saleen saw clearly from the air, and asked the orange knight to bypass the small city gate and let the mercenary group go. The mage in another mercenary group saw it clearly, and immediately told the head of the group about the situation, where did the head of the group dare to hesitate, and also killed this small gate, he simply asked the magician to burn down the city gate, and escaped from the Iron Wall City with his soldiers' families.
Seeing that these mercenaries were interested, Salin let them live, and with these mercenaries as a demonstration, the people near the city gate began to flee. The army that came to stop was blocked by the orange knights, the city gate had been destroyed, there was no river outside the Iron Wall City, and more and more people fled, but compared to the entire Iron Wall City, there were too few people who escaped.
A huge metallic roar was heard in the sky, and hundreds of metal flying machines came to the sky above the Iron Wall City and began to throw magic fire projectiles. Inside this magic flame projectile, it is fire oil, and the outer layer is wrapped in ordinary magic materials, as long as it falls on the ground, the magic materials are broken, and when you see the air, the magic potion inside will burn.
This magic flame bomb probably belongs to the category of first-class magic equipment, but the lethality is very terrifying. When the magic flame bomb hits the ground and explodes, it will produce a viscous fire oil, which can be attached to any object and burned. Even if you fall into a puddle, nothing but magic can temporarily suppress this fire.
The end of the Iron Wall City has come, the mages in the city are concentrated in the magic tower, and when the elemental creatures appear, the mages who are still outside the magic tower are desperately rushing to the magic tower.
When the metal flying machine arrived, there were no more mages in the city, and all the mages gathered in the magic tower to fight against the attacks from the sky.
The flight altitude of the metal flying machine is not low, but in order to throw a magic flame projectile, it must be reduced to about five hundred meters. Metal aircraft do not fly by the wind element, but with the help of metal wings to generate buoyancy, which must be maintained at high speed in order not to fall to the ground.
It was precisely because of this that Salin desperately suppressed the magic tower in the city, because the height of five hundred meters was too unsafe, and the attack distance of the nine-story magic tower was one thousand to two thousand meters. The defense of the metal weapon is very low, and if it is hit by the magic of the magic tower above level 5, it will be directly damaged.
The fire of the Iron Wall City was in pieces, and Salin's orders were useless, and the throwing locations he had set for the warriors on the metal flying machines were fixed, and there would be gaps for the people in the fire to escape, but as soon as this magic flame bomb burned, it was terrifying to Pizza Salin's imagination, and the high temperature made all combustible objects burn with it, and there were some substances that would only become flammable when the heat was high.
The oil burned at a temperature higher than that of low-level magic, and within half an hour, the center of the city had become a sea of fire, with only nine magic towers unharmed, protecting an area that was not too big or small.
At this time, the people in the city thought of escaping, but it was too late, and a second wave of metal flying machines arrived, dropping countless magical fire projectiles on the edge of the city.
Only a few metal flying machines crashed, that was the army in the city, the magic stone cannon was fired into the air, and the scattered magic stone projectiles hit the metal flying machines, as long as the wings were destroyed, these metal flying machines could no longer fly, and plunged headlong to the ground. The magic flame projectiles carried inside the metal craft exploded at the same time, causing even more casualties.
Salin didn't have time to scruple at this time, although the number of metal flying machines damaged was slow, but once he relaxed the suppression of the magic tower, all the metal flying machines that swept over the Iron Wall City could not escape the attack of magic. At this time, Salin had no other idea than to destroy everything in the enemy.
This is the essence of war, destruction.
Inside the Elemental Magic Tower, seventy-five Skochenian nobles completely collapsed, and the Iron Wall City was burned in front of their eyes, the fire spread, and thick smoke drifted upward, if it weren't for the fact that Storm Longwu had been using wind magic to disperse the clouds and smoke, there would have been nothing to see here.
Is this still a war? If future wars become like this, the glory of nobility will cease to exist. Powerful magicians are involved in the war, destroying enemy cities, and who else can withstand such a threat?
The third wave of metal flying machines arrived, and continued to throw magic fire projectiles into the iron wall, and the city's defenses completely collapsed, except for the magic tower, no one tried to resist, and everyone fled to the city, including the army guarding the wall.
Except for Neris, everyone's hearts were heavy, including the thirty-six magicians, and everyone felt that this attack was too cruel.
Salin's voice sounded in the magic tower: "I know you can't bear it, it's just that we don't have much time, the army of the Holy See will soon break through the border defense line of Qin Yin, the Yunliu people will take down Lianyun City, many nobles in the south will be independent, and if Qin Yin only has the north, he will no longer be able to resist the joint attack of the three empires." This time it was a warning, to make the Skaudians understand that the kingdom of Metatrin could not be touched. When the three empires sign a real alliance, we won't be afraid of such an attack as ours, and we really don't have time......"
Salin's voice was a little tired, he couldn't stand such a war. The gap was too great for him to expect, and there were less than 100,000 people in the city who fled except for the army.
Rex came up with the idea, but he didn't have any responsibility, he cheered up the magicians, and the pressure on him was not small at all. Salin could kill dozens or hundreds of people without any scruples, but slaughtering millions of people was not something he, a ninth-level magician, could bear.
Reality and imagination are always far apart, and Saleen thinks he can ignore it all, but now he really wants to fly away and never look at this damn land again.
"Master, people always have to die, we demons, don't think about such nonsense. Naris comforted Salin, she could feel how bad Salyn's mood was.
"Nellis, you don't understand. ”
"Why don't I understand, human beings are inherently more ferocious than demons, otherwise how could demons follow humans and kill everywhere. Conquest of the plane sounds heroic, but in fact, the number of people who died in each plane was a hundred times that of today. Master, those who were killed were also humans, not all monsters. ”
Seeing that Salin didn't speak, Nellis said, "Master, remember the Great Grandmaster, do you see him as a kind?"
Salin suddenly thought in his heart, yes, the Great Grandmaster has never regarded himself as his own kind, if he can leave the cemetery, I am afraid that he will kill all the people on the Myers Continent.
Humans and gods are essentially the same.
"Nellis, it's not an excuse for me to kill. Saleen was in a better mood, but he couldn't let go.
"Master, if you want me to say, it's normal for you to feel uncomfortable, just reminisce more, and in the future, when you advance to the level of transcending the gods, you will never feel like you are today. ”
Nicholas said beside him: "My lord, Neris is right, and so are the gods, who treat selfless believers as lambs. One day, when we reach that height, we will become like that. Today, let's let everyone grieve together. ”
Nicholas said Binellis thoroughly, and the saddest thing for Salen now is the contradiction, the inner contradiction.
Because he wants to conquer the continent, he is afraid that he will have to do such a thing, but he doesn't want to do it again.
"Lord, you can also do nothing, and wait for the Holy See to unify the continent......" Nicholas said nothing. Saleen doesn't need to be persuaded either. He understands both. If Salin hadn't done it, the Holy See would have done it thoroughly. Those who do not believe in gods will be killed, and at least half of the people on the entire continent will die.
