The Mujahideen inside the White Tower of the Obelisk had a sleepless night. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info

The arrival of the Magister Ahmed has given everyone a shot of stimulant, and a single Magister may not be enough to turn the situation around, but the various "miracles" that have occurred during the repair of the Ancient Magic Circle have given all the Mujahideen full confidence, and no one will doubt that with the favor of the true God, they will achieve the ultimate victory.

Over the next two days, Lihid ordered the news of the obelisk to be blocked, and most of the city's inhabitants were unaware of what was happening inside the tower, and all the visions that took place that night were interpreted by the mujahideen as "miracles".

In the outer city of Crete, the Ninth Division closely monitored every move in the inner city through the high watchtower on the city tower, and the anomaly of the obelisk white tower naturally attracted the attention of the top management of the Ninth Division.

"Ladies and gentlemen, what do you think of the vision of the obelisk white tower the night before?" Early in the morning, James summoned the commanders of the various mage regiments in the army, and in addition, the two magicians of the vanguard camp, Marven and Rogge, were also impressively listed.

"Your Excellency, that is nothing more than a means used by the infidels to bluff and win hearts and minds. The commander of the mage regiment of the Seventh Division stood up, his face full of impatience, "We have been capturing the outer city for almost half a month, and everyone can see that the heretics are at the end of their rope and dying. The head of the mage took a step forward and said in a cold voice: "Your Excellency James, although our Seventh Division is not an elite division, it is also a heavy task, and the time is very urgent. ”

As soon as he finished speaking, the commanders of the fourth, fifth, and eighth divisions also stood up one after another, protested loudly to James, and pointed out that he had delayed the fighter planes and seconded the elite of friendly troops at will. These divisions were usually overwhelmed by the students of the Ninth Division, and their internal high-level leaders had already complained a lot about this, and seeing that James was hesitant at this moment, their daily dissatisfaction with the Ninth Division was vented.

"That's right, Your Excellency James, you have seconded all the mage troops of our divisions and regiments, but in order to preserve your strength, you have been reluctant to order a decisive battle, aren't you weakening and suppressing friendly forces in disguise?"

"Your Excellency Navy, our division is not the elite of the empire, we lack warriors and weak combat strength, if we can't transfer back to the mage regiment in time, it is really difficult to ensure the blockade of the Iliad border!"

"Your Ninth Division also needs to take care of the feelings of the brother troops, we have seconded all the magicians to you, but you have taken a big risk, you should fight quickly, and you can't delay it indefinitely......"

James covered his head in pain and persuaded with good words: "Everyone, I can understand your feelings, you can come to help, on behalf of the Ninth Division, I express my great gratitude, but the situation here is complicated, and I hope that all the mages can deign to stay for a few more days......"

Seeing that the commander of the Ninth Division, who had always been arrogant, said a few soft words, several mage commanders were in a good mood and stopped the noise one after another, and one of them coughed lightly and pretended to say: " It is our duty to help friendly troops, and the brothers of the Ninth Division have been fighting with the infidels all day long, and your difficulties should also be understood by us, but Your Excellency, we also have an extremely heavy task, if there are no mage troops for a long time, the blockade of the border will become precarious, and when the time comes, Marshal Rocherio will investigate it, and we will not be able to explain it!"

"Then let's do it......," James took a deep breath, "I'll personally explain the situation here to the marshal, and if something goes wrong, I'll take all the responsibility, how about it?"

"This ......" the mage leader sneered angrily when he touched the soft nail, "Ha! The dignified elite division of the empire is still afraid in front of a handful of pagan traitors, and this is really a big face for the imperial army!"

James tried his best to restrain the anger in his heart, and said in a deep voice: "Ladies and gentlemen, it is true that the infidel rebels are not our opponents, but the obelisk white tower is very strange, we have suffered a lot of losses before, and now we need to be even more cautious. ”

"What's weird, isn't there an ancient magic array underneath it?" the mage leader disagreed, "That thing can't even be repaired by the Magister, at best, they can use the special structure of the Obelisk White Tower to make a fuss on the moat, and now that the outer city has been captured by us, what other means can they have?"

"Your Excellency, I detected an anomalous fluctuation of magical elements on the watchtower that night. Marven paced in front of the crowd, "Although this doesn't mean that the rebels can repair the ancient magic array, it at least shows that they still have the means to fight back." Marven glanced at the crowd lightly, and said firmly: "So the strong attack will inevitably cause heavy losses, and I suggest that we should still start from within the enemy army." ”

"Well, Master Marven is right. James bowed his head in agreement, and further added: "Béla VII sent a message not long ago, he has decided to cooperate with the Empire, and I believe that soon, he will give us an explanation." ”

Seeing that James had made up his mind to drag it out, the leaders of the mages were still full of complaints but helpless, and after all, they just walked back to their camp in hatred.

Ever since he received Béla VII's letter, James had been confident about taking the inner city of Crete, and Marven had a faint premonition in his heart after witnessing the anomaly of the obelisk white tower that night, and finally, at his suggestion, the Ninth Division greatly strengthened its garrison.

The engineers strengthened all the towers on the towers of the outer city overnight, demolished part of the outer city walls, and used their masonry to build several huge and strong fortresses between the inner and outer walls, and with the assistance of magicians, the construction of the fortresses of the outer city of Crete was quickly completed in just one week.

James was still struggling with the royal family's actions, however, a week had passed, and the royal family had never heard anything from him, which made him gradually lose patience. And the news of the failure of the royal family's operation has long been completely blocked by Elder Lichd.

In the inner city of Crete, the arrival of the Magister Ahmet greatly inspired, in just one week, the rebels not only completely absorbed the original Cretan city defenses, but also nearly doubled the size of their troops through a large number of conscriptions, Ahmet used this time to study the entire obelisk white tower, for a while, Elder Lihid was proud, and the time for a counterattack seemed to be coming!

Thinking that the Ninth Division outside the city was still waiting for news from the royal family, and that there had been no military action for a long time, he had to wake up with a smile in his dreams these days. Early on Sunday morning, just after dawn, he excitedly climbed the obelisk to pay a visit to Ahmed.

Elder Liched was now full of plans for a counterattack, and after he reached the top of the tower, he looked down and almost dropped his jaw--------- but in a few days, the inner city of Crete had been besieged by the rebuilt military fortress of the Ninth Division, and several newly built fortresses were densely covered with ballistas and trebuchets, and hundreds of mages in robes could be faintly seen walking back and forth on the fortress, and there was no doubt that if these long-range weapons were fired in a few volleys, most of the buildings in the entire inner city of Crete would be reduced to rubble。

The joy in Elder Lichd's heart vanished in an instant, all kinds of signs indicated that the Ninth Division had gained a firm foothold in the outer city, and he shuddered when he thought about the ability of the engineers of the elite division of the Empire, the longer it dragged on, the more unfavorable it would be for them.

Lihid knocked on Ahmet's door with trepidation, and the Magister yawned and rubbed his sleepy eyes, "What's the matter with me, Elder?"

"Master, excuse me, I just want to know, how are you preparing? I wonder how sure you are of suppressing the enemy's siege force at the moment?"

"It's been ready for a long time, why, the elder seems to be doubting my abilities?" Ahmed teased with a smile on his face, tilting his head.

"Master said with a smile, you are a well-known magister in the mainland, and your magic cultivation is even more rare in the world, we don't dare to doubt your ability at all, but this elite division of the St. John Empire is also very difficult to deal with, you see, it has only been less than a week, and they have actually built a fortress outside the city! Although they can't attack at all with you in charge, but if we are trapped in this small inner city with those complicated fortifications, I am only afraid that the future of the holy war is worrying......"

Lihid flattered Ahmet and did not forget to express his worries, although they now have full confidence to hold on to the inner city with the help of the Magister, but if the 9th Division besieges them without attacking them, and traps them in the inner city with strong fortresses and watchtowers, then the rebels will not be able to withstand long-term attrition.

Ahmed's gaze casually swept over the window, and said disdainfully: "It's just a few fortresses, what are you afraid of, I have seen more military fortresses on the battlefield of the Marne Federation than this, do you know what nickname the Mujahideen on the front line gave me?"

"Of course you know, you are a famous Grand Summoner!" said Lishid, a member of the Boko Haram Magister, Ahmet had always been known for his summoning magic, and the elemental creatures he summoned were almost a nightmare for enemies on the battlefield, so he was also known as the "Grand Summoner".

"Oh, no, they call me 'Demolition Warlock' now!" Ahmed couldn't help but laugh out loud, and said proudly: "In terms of combat effectiveness alone, I am considered very mediocre among the Magisters, but with the work of destroying buildings, I am afraid that there is no more professional than me among the Magisters in the entire continent!"

Lihid finally looked happy again, and his heart settled down, and he stroked his beard and smiled: "Then we will wait for Your Excellency the 'Demolition Warlock' to exert his divine power again and help our army get out of trouble in one fell swoop!"

Ahmet walked out of the room, walked unhurriedly to the window of the hall at the top of the tower, looked at the fortresses scattered around the inner city in the distance, and sneered and began to condense the magical elements.

Outside the city, the soldiers of the Ninth Division, who were still desperately trying to strengthen the fortress, had no idea that the nightmare was coming.

"Marven, emergency!The Obelisk White Tower has once again discovered an abnormal fluctuation of magic elements!" The mercenary mage Rogge hurriedly woke up Marven, who had just fallen asleep.

"What? it's the obelisk again!" Marven pressed his temple, suppressed his sleepiness, and followed Rogge up the watchtower.

This obelisk white tower is a relic of the era of the Dark Horse Empire, and its structure is extremely exquisite, and the Ninth Division has to be quite afraid of it even when it has an overwhelming advantage in its own strength, and any abnormal changes in this white tower may affect the battle situation.

"Oh my God, what is that?" After climbing the watchtower, Marven's face turned pale, and he saw several meteorites with a diameter of tens of meters in the sky roaring towards him, and quickly fell in the sky above those fortresses.

"Boom!" There were a few loud bangs, and the well-built fortresses were smashed into ruins almost instantly, and the soldiers deployed on the fortress were all buried in the billowing smoke before they could even let out a scream.

"Super-level summoning magic------ the stars have fallen!" Rogge said the name of this magic with a dry mouth, he had traveled the continent for many years, he had seen a lot, and he knew the power of this super-level magic.

"Quick! Inform Your Excellency the Commander, quickly organize a defense! At the same time, immediately request reinforcements from the military headquarters!" Marven gave an order to the herald in a trembling voice, Rao is that he has been on the battlefield for a long time, and at this moment he also showed a trace of panic, the fortress built by the Imperial Engineer Corps was actually destroyed in an instant, and this kind of powerful magic is probably only a strong person like Hypatia can cast it.

And there is not a single super strong person in the entire Iliad Kingdom, there is only one explanation for this situation-------- the ancient magic array has been repaired!
