Chapter 308: Sacrifice (I)

More than 4,000 horses are back on the road. There is a special existence in the team, a sixth-level magician, who has been under the protection of the two Black Iron Sword Masters. In addition to the three markings on his magic robes, the magician also wore a family crest. This is a noble mage with a calm and arrogant attitude.

In addition to the two Black Iron Sword Saints, there is also a brigade of soldiers in the flag group who are protecting this magician, obviously, this magician has a noble status, and the scale of protection is the same as that of a magician.

At the back of the line are a large number of auxiliaries, who are responsible for the large and medium equipment carried by the army. The combat effectiveness of these auxiliaries is not low, at least much stronger than most mercenaries. As the team moved forward, even the horses remained silent, except for the sound of wheels. This is an iron army.

If anyone recognizes the family crest on the mage's chest, they will find that the highest-ranking nobleman in this family is now one of the six dukes of the House of Commons of Holy Rock City.

There are a total of twelve dukes in the upper and lower houses of Holy Rock City, and they control the military and political finances in the national capital. Each duke's family background is very deep, and this sixth-level magician is also very young, less than forty years old. Apparently deliberately cultivated in the family. His family crest, which depicts a white rose.

The White Rose family, with a longer history than the Qin Yin Empire, has always occupied an important position in Shengyan City since the founding of the country. Even if he wasn't a magician, the Banner Leader wouldn't dare to order him. Traveling with the army is just his own meaning.

Fortunately, although Qin Yin's mage is arrogant, he will not delay the war. This mage of the White Rose family will never influence the orders of the Flag Leader, let alone act without permission. If the flag commander wants him to do it, he can discuss it. As long as he feels sure of something, he will definitely help.

His pride is in his bones, but it does not mean that he is not sophisticated. Since he joined the army, he wanted to earn a point of honor for his family.

Holy Rock City, the Imperial Capital Patrol Courtyard, in a closed room, the light is dim. The young man who was locked up in the room was a young man, this young man was very anxious, it had been a day, why did he still not respond? After escaping from Qinglongshi and sending the news to Shengyan City, he had to at least be received by the Military Administration Department under the House of Commons, instead of being locked up in the City Patrol Courtyard.

These are basically two official offices, and the things they are responsible for are not on the same side. The young man was a professional assassin who also happened to pass by in Qinglongshi, and as a result, he encountered people from the Holy See who carried out a massacre. He escaped with great difficulty and delivered the news to Holy Rock City. I was expecting to rely on the reward of this living empire, and maybe I could get a baron.

But as soon as he entered the city, he was arrested by the soldiers of the city patrol courtyard, and he didn't even meet the people of the royal swordsman battalion.

The door suddenly opened, and the light entered, and the young Assassin's heart tightened, and a tall middle-aged man entered the door. This middle-aged man has a majestic face and a short beard.

The young Assassin didn't know why, and was terrified of the middle-aged man who came in. He stood up and almost shot straight away.

"Don't be nervous, I've heard that you've sent you an important piece of news that I need to verify personally. ”

"Who are you?"

"I'm from the Prince's Palace. ”

"Your Excellency, the news is very important, and I am afraid that it is a little late. Qinglongshi was attacked, and a large number of people from the Holy See appeared, and there was already a river of blood. All the occupants were killed, as well as a few passing merchants. ”

"How did you escape?"

"I'm an assassin, and I've been living in the outermost part of the Blue Dragon Stone. ”

"Do you still have companions?"

"Nope. ”

"No, I'm not affiliated with that family. The young Assassin replied honestly, he thought he was going to be recruited by the middle-aged man. The aristocracy would raise some Assassins. Do undignified things for them.

"It's good if you don't have it. The middle-aged man smiled, his fingers lightly pointed, and a golden sword aura directly shattered the young assassin's head.

The body of the young assassin collapsed limply on the ground, and the middle-aged man turned around and walked out of the room, and said to the city patrol envoy who was waiting outside: "Everyone who has seen this young man, you turn around and quietly go to the Military Intelligence Agency under the House of Commons, I don't want to kill you, so you forget what happened." ”

"Yes, Your Highness. "The city patrol envoy's face was covered with sweat, and he knew very well why Prince Sephiroth did this, so he knew that if he leaked any news, the whole family would definitely die. Those who were sent to the Military Intelligence Agency will probably disappear completely sooner or later and die in the course of their mission.

The prince was merciful and did not accuse the soldiers, and after their deaths, their relatives were well cared for. It seems that he may not die, as long as he takes care of this mouth.

Sephiroth himself came to deal with this message, and he could only act as this messenger never appeared.

The small turmoil in Holy Rock City disappeared, and no one will mention it again. The assassin who reported the news didn't know why he died, what he did was entirely for the Qin Yin Empire. Sephiroth didn't ask him any crucial questions, and directly took his life. Those people from the Holy See were arranging huge formations......

More than 4,000 troops approached Qinglongshi, even if there was a baggage, the distance of less than a hundred miles could be reached in three hours, and the lanes here were smooth like mirrors. The carriage can run at full speed.

Around the Qinglongshi, the six huge rocks as high as mountain peaks returned to their normal color, and they looked down coldly at the Qinglongshi wrapped in white mist. The entire area shrouded in white fog formed a city composed of white mist, and on the city wall, there were soldiers condensed by white mist, these soldiers were already extremely real, in addition to the surface of the skin, they could also be seen with a mist of mist, but the armor on their bodies was already metallic.

The Book of Genesis is God's means of creation, and everything will become more and more real except that these condensed creatures have no souls.

More than 4,000 soldiers entered the position step by step, and did not approach the city where the white fog had condensed, but began to line up at a distance of a mile. Auxiliaries began to assemble various puppets, trebuchets, heavy cavalry at the forefront, resting next to their horses. As soon as the people in the city want to come out and destroy all kinds of magic machines, the heavy cavalry will rush forward and tear the enemy to pieces.

Even though it was night, the auxiliaries were doing their job perfectly, surrounded by magic lamps, each part was numbered, and they skillfully assembled and assembled various machines. Five trebuchets were completed at the earliest. Then there are ten stone armor golems. This is the cheapest puppet, all made of stone, and the magician can fight for ten minutes if he finally reinforces it.

Once the eight-meter-tall golem was assembled, the magician began to enchant the material so that it would not be quickly chopped to pieces by the enemy. These stone parts are not very strong.

As soon as the stone golem was assembled, it was loaded with more parts by the soldiers. Giant stone golems carry metal rams, as well as throwing weapons, including javelins, rocks, magic bombs, and more. The flag commander did not want his soldiers to take risks. He decided to attack with a trebuchet for a while, and then sent the puppet to rush into the fog and smash it in one go.

Sweep out a safe area and let the soldiers in, and the magicians can now think about what magic to prepare, and when the time comes, let's work together to clear the fog.

The cardinal found the enemy outside the Genesis formation, the attack had begun, the magic trebuchet began to throw magic stone projectiles, mixed with some magic incendiary bombs in the middle, a large area of fog was burned, the cardinal knew that his task was difficult to complete, the enemy refused to enter, and the people trapped inside could not be solved.

Do you want to take it upon yourself to cut through that metal house?

As the cardinal pondered, the statue behind him saw the Demon Hunter Spider baring its fangs. With a flick of its foot, it silently glided behind the cardinal, and the cardinal turned his head sharply, it was too late to release the high-level talisman rune, and he pointed it out with one hand, just hitting the eye of the demon hunting spider.

If this were a living Demon Hunter, this finger would definitely be able to shatter the Demon Hunter's brain, and the cardinal's target now is a golem. On the foot of the demon hunting spider, the sharp bristles cut through the cardinal's fingers, this foot has the attribute of destroying demons, and even the fourth-level magic shield can be easily broken.

Salin felt a pain in his head, and he immediately severed all mental ties to control the demon hunting spiders. The demon hunter spider fell to the ground stupidly, and his movements were a little stiff.

The cardinal's fingers went numb, and then he began to bleed. The cardinal was horrified to find that the blood flowing from his fingers was dark green. What kind of poison is this? I have been blessed by the gods!

The cardinal was also decisive, he pinched the injured finger and pulled it hard, and the whole finger was torn off by him, but the wound at the base of the finger was in it. The blood that comes out is also dark green.

The cardinal's heart was cold, he pulled out a short sword from his waist, it was a holy weapon, and he directly used the short sword to cut off his entire arm. At the fracture, due to the effect of the holy artifact, only a little blood flowed out, but it was still dark green. The cardinal suddenly felt a little dizzy, and if he cut again, he could only cut off his head.

If you cut off your arm, you can still use magic to recover, but if you cut off your head, can you use magic to resurrect it? He reluctantly took out a small vial, crushed the bottle, and directly took the pill inside in his hand and stuffed it into his mouth. Then the cardinal collapsed to the ground and never opened his eyes again.

The cardinal's death under Joey's reformed puppet is not wronged, the kind of toxin extracted by Salen is limited in quantity, hundreds of dead leaves, and only one drop of toxin can be extracted. This toxin can only be refined by Salin, because he is the only one in the world who has a dead sacred tree, and he is the only one who has an elven follower.

For anyone, it is impossible for the cardinal to be assassinated so simply, no matter how powerful the other poisons are, without divinity in them, they can't quickly kill a seventh-level magician.

A seventh-level sorcerer, blessed by the gods, with strong vitality and almost immune to toxins.
