Chapter 27: The Battle of Mochizuki Castle (4)
As Adela walked along. Not far away, in a collapsing house, a magus held his breath, waiting like a good hunter for his prey to pass him and deliver a fatal blow. The order given by Adela just now immediately scattered the thousands of archers around him, and Adela's armor was different in both style and color, this magister could naturally distinguish Adela's identity, and what he had to do now was to use magic to snipe the opponent's commander, even if it cost him his own life.
As the magister of the Mochizuki City Magic Guild, he can release up to level 7 magic, but this level of magic requires a long time to cast spells, and he doesn't think he has enough time, so this magister of Mochizuki City did not hesitate to choose the level 3 magic lightning technique that he can instantaneously to ensure that he can successfully release the fatal blow. As for the level 3 magic power, this magister didn't pay attention to it, and in his opinion, the heavy metal armor on Adela's body would become her coffin, because electric magic is the nemesis of all metal armor.
300 meters, 280 meters, 260 meters...... When Adela and the others were less than 200 meters away from this magister, the magister of Mochizuki City rushed out of hiding place without hesitation, he completely gave up his defense, and as soon as he raised his hand, he directly sent out a bolt of lightning and slashed towards Adra.
The swift lightning slashed towards Adela who was observing the surrounding environment through the gap in the shield wall without warning, and the distance of 200 meters was just a flash, neither Adela herself nor the guards around her reacted in time, under the gaze of the Mochizuki City Magister, this lightning bolt hit Adra's chest directly, and the powerful attack force knocked the Cassano commander back several steps, but Adela was beyond the expectations of the Magister, she quickly stood firm, not only did not do anything, but she did not even fallγ
"How could this be!" the magister of Mochizuki City cried out, and this was the last thing he said in this world, a ball of flame fell from the sky, directly turning him and the house he was hiding in pieces, and then these fragments quickly turned to ashes in the flames flying in the sky, and disappeared without a trace with the wind......
Master Blair closed his eyes deeply, listening to the indignant curses of the students behind him, but in his mind, he still remembered the scene of his students being reduced to ashes by the flames that fell from the sky. Blair had just observed the army that had suddenly launched an attack on Mochizuki City through farsightedness, but he saw the scene of his student dying after failing to snipe the opposing commander, how could this gray-haired old man not feel sad.
Blair was only sad for a short 3 seconds, he immediately opened his eyes, he looked at the magic array that faithfully restored the scene that happened in the distance in front of him, pointed to the image revealed in the magic array, and said in a very flat tone: "It's Cassano's army, and they are led by Ryan." β
As soon as the name was spoken, the dozens of magicians behind Blair all shut their mouths, and the whole room suddenly fell into a deathly silence, and the magicians who had been so angry not long ago seemed to have lost their memories together, and they couldn't remember what they had said.
"Don't you and your magic legion even have the strength to fight?" said a man wearing a clown mask next to Blair, one of the members of the six-member council in Mochizuki City, because he wears the same mask every time he appears in front of others, so he has his own code name - "Joker".
In fact, Blair is also a member of the six-member council, his code name is "scholar", originally today was the fixed meeting time of the six-member council every month, but unexpectedly, an army suddenly appeared and launched an attack on the entire Mochizuki City, and when the news was passed on the magic of the Mochizuki City Guild, that is, the address where Blair and they met, the south gate of Mochizuki City had fallen, and the army entered the southern part of Mochizuki City almost without delay.
The leader of the month, Master Blair, immediately terminated the meeting, and he immediately gathered all the high-ranking mages in the entire guild, and then released a farsightedness to observe the actions of the enemy army, only to see the death of one of his students.
"The only opponent of a legendary magician is another legendary powerhouse. Blair whispered this, which was undoubtedly a painful thing for a great mage who had been famous for decades, but he did not hesitate to admit that he was inferior to his opponent, just like he had lost to the young Victor.
"Damn, where the hell has Catherine been these days?" The six-member council member codenamed "Noble" angrily took off his mask and revealed his true face, which turned out to be the father of the three Mayne brothers, Julius Elber.
"Catherine is only a guest in the Magic Guild of Mochizuki City, but she is not our subordinate. Blair said mercilessly: "This is the first time that all six of us passed, have you forgotten? Moreover, even if Catherine is here, doesn't the other party have other arrangements? Don't forget Victor's Time and Space Gate Scroll!"
Blair's words made Julius smile awkwardly, and he made an apologetic gesture and took half a step back, while the only woman in the six-member council, the one codenamed "Lily", took advantage of the situation and said in a cold tone: "Then let my dagger deal with him!"
Blair stared deeply at "Lily", for this only female member, Blair has always been vigilant in the face, many times even if Lily can solve the problem in the simplest way, but Blair would rather choose to suppress the other party, and never allow Lily's power to expand too much, because Lily's subordinates have a power that always walks in the dark, which is inherited from the power of the traitorous assassin at the beginning of the Seven Kingdoms Rebellion.
At that time, there were a total of seven countries on the continent, and each of them had many high-level magicians to check and balance each other, which kept the stability of the entire continent stable. With magicians, there will naturally be people who find ways to restrain magicians, so there are assassins who have been secretly trained to learn how to assassinate magicians, but no one knows that one of the best of them suddenly rebelled, and also frantically assassinated those high-level magicians, so that the seven countries of the continent made a mistake in the power comparison of magic, without the threat of magic, the ambition of those in high positions could no longer be suppressed, and finally the war that lasted for hundreds of years broke out.
Why the assassin did this, Blair has no way of knowing, but he knows that this force has finally returned to the starting point, and has been re-mastered by the Magic Guild, and the "Lily" line has slowly become one of the indispensable forces in Mochizuki City, with a seat in the six-member council.
"I'd better go first. The sword saint Oswald, codenamed "Samurai", also knew very well what the power behind Lily represented, and he also knew more about Blair's concerns, after all, the destruction of Mochizuki City was just the rise and fall of a city, but once the assassin lost his restraint again, it would be a catastrophe for the entire continent.
"You?" Blair swallowed everything he wanted to say in his heart as he said just one word, for he saw the determination in Oswald's face, and it was clear that the Juggernaut, who was only one step away from the legendary powerhouse, had made up his mind, even at the cost of his own life.
"Hmph, it's nothing more than a guy who is sent to death. Seeing Blair's expression, Lily knew that he would definitely not let herself fight, so she taunted softly and retreated.
Blair turned around and looked around, seeing that his students all had fear on their faces, obviously frightened by the legendary mage Lane, he sighed slightly, and finally understood why the high-level magicians of Moon City had an absolute advantage in terms of numbers for 200 years, but they were always behind the Imperial Capital Magic Guild, and now he finally knew the answer.
"Take your seats, everyone. Blair said lightly: "Now that the enemy is present, the only thing we can do is to resist, today's scene, I think it has been doomed since we chose to join Senate in Mochizuki City." I don't know how Ryan's army got here bypassing our defenses, but it doesn't matter anymore, the battle has already begun, and there is only one ending to it. β
"I am now in full command of this battle of Mochizuki City as the leader of the six-member council of Mochizuki City this month, and you Samurai, you will immediately dispatch to delay the progress of Ryan and them as much as possible. Gentlemen, nobles, you two immediately go to the rear to gather your army and prepare for a counterattack, and at the same time divert the inhabitants away to prevent the other side from slaughtering the city with a forbidden spell. Lily, you and I are here, this is the center of our entire Mochizuki City, and it is also the symbol of our Mochizuki City, the magical capital, and there is absolutely no room for error. As for the clown......"
Blair said this, and suddenly bent down to the man wearing the clown mask, and the "clown" accepted his salute calmly. When Blair straightened up again, he took out a crescent-shaped pendant in his hand, the shape of which was quite similar to the moonlight brooch on the chest of the elven queen Freya, and Blair's face was full of determination at the moment: "In the depths of the Southern Silent Forest, there is an elven ruin, where you can use that magic charm to contact the elves." You can leave now with the 500 most magically gifted teenagers in Mochizuki City, and the future of Mochizuki City will be up to you!"
