Chapter 44: The Treasonous Family

"It's just a spirit pet skill. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 Horst said lightly, but he didn't say what kind of spirit pet he had. He didn't say how many spirit pets he had, but to outsiders, it seemed to outsiders that he had the spiritual power to control four spirit pets, but in fact, Horst only controlled three spirit pets. Two of the four summoned beasts were incarnated by Shadow Butterfly and its clones, and they were now in a critical moment, and Horst even used the Night Falcon.

"It looks like a summoning mage with a high-level spirit pet is counting on you. As she spoke, a ball of water appeared in her hand, and then the balls of water wrapped around the four benzene beasts.

Under the light of the torches, many people's faces were full of hope, and Horst nodded heavily.

The blue mana output, the sound of nothingness suddenly sounded, and at this moment, Horst officially grew from the fifth level of the first order to the sixth level of the first order.

The balloon of water that enveloped the beast quickly condensed and turned into ice.

The ice blade was like a knife, spinning rapidly, and a cold light flickered.

"Go—" Horst shouted, braving a rain of arrows like locusts, and threw the ice-wheeled benzene beast off the tower.

Mental power manipulates summoned beasts, and Horst seems to have entered another world. As he continued to communicate with the three spirit pets, Horst seemed to be able to feel the tragic situation beneath the city walls.

Despite the tragedy, the soldiers of the Clark Empire continued to climb the city wall through ropes, and at this time they were less than two or three meters away from the top of the city wall.

The summoned beast is Horst's eyes, with the help of the summoned beast, the mind is communicated, the mental power is consumed very quickly, the contemplation necklace hanging around the neck, and the low-end droplet-shaped pendant flashes with a lilac light.

A clear thought immediately guarded Horst's spirit, making it endless and not depleted.

"Spinning and cutting!" A strong wind centered on Horst, trying to spread around, and everyone immediately retreated.

The sound of gold and iron intersecting suddenly sounded, and the screams sounded again. If it were daytime, the Clark Imperial troops stationed on the Rhine HB Bank would have found that at this moment, four summoning beasts like ice wheels were frantically cutting the ropes hooked to the walls of the city wall. The soldiers of the Clark Empire, like fallen leaves, fell from the air one after another from the city wall tens of meters high, and it was obvious that there was no possibility of survival.

Far away in the territory of the Clark Empire, inside a forest, blood-red light clusters gradually condensed on an altar. Around the altar, there were many black shadows standing, the black shadows could not see their faces, but they all had one feature, and the eyes flashed with blood-red flames.

"The war has begun, and as long as we collect enough grudges, we can use them to craft those grudge zombies, which is one step closer to our purpose. ”

"How's that kid?"

"I have awakened the soul of time, but at the same time I have the pupil of space. ”

"Hmph, it's too late, those guys from the Time Shrine would never have thought of that thing, it's already in hand. ”

"Continue to monitor him, by the way, let the Ao family prepare. ”

As the night faded and the east turned white, the remaining soldiers and mages began to clean up the corpses of their companions on the walls.

Under Horst's precise control, all the ropes used by Clark's imperial soldiers to climb the city walls were cut, and countless soldiers fell from a height of tens of meters, shattering to pieces.

And the archers of the Clark Empire, after discovering the abnormality, also stopped the bow and arrow suppression. The army besieging the city in front has been frustrated and cannot continue the attack, and there is no need for the reinforcements behind to provide fire support.

In the direction of the Rhine fortress, a new group of city defenders came to help Horst's class defend the city walls.

In Horst's class, under the rain of arrows from the Clark Empire last night, one-third of the people completely lost their lives, one-third were injured, and the remaining one-third of them had some psychological problems.

It's inevitable, it won't be accidental.

War is always the fundamental way for a nation to choose the survival of the fittest, and only soldiers and mages who survive the war will be qualified to carry the hope of the country. This is the idea that Horst was instilled on the march that war wants to be immortal, that is impossible.

The Rhine Fortress, inside an extremely tall building, on the top floor, is the military headquarters of the Shenyang Empire's border defense army.

"Dimmit, the students brought out by your brother are different, and he actually single-handedly defeated the army of the Clark Empire under the walls of the Nus Village section. ”

"They got the news yesterday that this group of recruits had been brought into battle without formal training, and they deliberately chose to launch the attack when they were not on a firm footing. The timing of the attack, in the middle of the night, could only indicate that they wanted to take it by surprise. ”

"It's true that our defense didn't do that. ”

"They excluded nearly 100,000 troops, divided into four echelons, and attacked three sections of the wall, and the other walls were more or less attacked, except for this section of the village of Nus, which was well guarded. ”

On the top floor, at the conference table, many middle-aged men in officer uniforms, holding documents in their hands, kept discussing.

Dimmit is also among the crowd, but Dimmit's pale beard and slightly old face look out of place among these middle-aged people.

But middle-aged people, there is not a single one who does not respect Dimet.

"What's next?"

"Although our Shenyang Empire has declared war on the Clark Empire, it is their Clark Empire that is really attacking, so we have been in a passive defensive state, is it possible to let our soldiers die in vain?"

"Over the years, the empire and Clark have been at war with each other, and the national strength has been depleted, and you don't know that once the war officially starts, how will the pensions of those fallen soldiers be paid?" someone retorted, "The empire's finances are already overwhelmed!"

"For the sake of today's plan, it can only be dragged out like this, and the forces of other countries on the mainland will definitely take the opportunity to get involved. ”

"That's all I can do. ”

At the rear of the border defense line, the camp of the first year of the Summoning Mage Academy was already busy. The bodies of the victims must be disposed of quickly, otherwise a large-scale plague will be triggered. The Rhine Fortress sent a new city defense army at the same time, as well as a large number of physicians, including many light mages.

Seeing the busy voice of the light mage, the figure of a girl kept flashing in Horst's mind.

A beautiful face, almost light brown hair, and a shy smile.

That's Moria.

On the Natural Continent, which is thousands of miles away from the Demon Heaven Continent, on the Bright Holy Mountain, a building is surrounded by golden brilliance.

In one room, a girl holds a piece of letter in her hand, tears dripping onto the letter, but she doesn't know it.

"Brother Shi, you should return safely, and in a year, my injuries will be healed by me. ”

Time, more than half a month has passed in the blink of an eye, and in this half month, the Clark Empire has not launched a large-scale attack except for sending a small force to harass the border defense line.

In the past half a month, Horst has gradually stabilized with the help of the mana of the sixth order of the first order of the magic energy stone, and at the same time, it is not too far away from the seventh level of the first order. Sattar is now a first-order fourth-order summoning mage, and Tucker has worked harder and has reached the fifth-level first-order. However, without the support of sufficient resources, it is already good to be able to reach such a high level.

However, to Horst's greatest surprise, the Shadow Butterfly Spirit Pet he fed finally broke through the first order and successfully advanced to the second order.

Of course, what distressed Horst was that except for the two or three magic energy stones used for his own cultivation, the rest was all given to the little ancestor of the spirit pet Shadow Butterfly.

Fortunately, the emperor paid off, and the Shadow Butterfly Spirit Pet was finally promoted to a level, which means that if the three Spirit Pets were used together, there would be five summoned beasts now.

Group fights are always cooler than fighting alone. At the very least, Horst didn't think there was anything wrong with the group fights.

Horst didn't tell anyone about having multiple spirit pets, including Tucker and Sattar, and a single Shadow Butterfly spirit pet was enough to cause misunderstanding among others, which would make opponents take him seriously.

What's more, in Horst's view, everything needs to leave a way back, and if you do it yourself, you can also be surprised in case of an emergency.

Just like the fact that he was able to summon the Benzene Beast half a month ago, it was definitely an unexpected thing for the Clark Empire on the other side, and no one knew that there would be a summoning mage who could summon the Benzene Beast in the army of the Shenyang Empire. It was precisely because of this summoner that the Clark Empire lost a large number of troops. Even now, the information that the Clark Empire has obtained is only that the other party has a summoning mage who can summon benzene beasts, but it is not known who this summoning mage is.

Now, Horst has been awarded a great deal of military merit for his performance in that battle.

On this day, Horst was in the camp to sort out some study notes, and although he was stationed here, he could not forget his studies for a moment. Horst also had such a habit in his previous life, no matter when and where, as long as he had free time, he would sort out what he had learned.

Outside the tents, some mages were training, and some soldiers were building crossbow arrows, the city's defense equipment. This is a new type of machine designed and manufactured by craftsmen, mainly to prevent sneak attacks at night.

"Horst, look at the news from the Imperial Capital. Tucker suddenly and quickly broke into the tent, took out a newspaper, and handed it to Horst.

There was a big headline written on it:

The Ao family announced their separation from the Shenyang Empire and officially joined the Clark Empire.

"Smack-" Horst slapped the table in front of him, his voice a little hoarse, "I knew that O'Neill and Otis should not have been spared in the first place." ”

"Yes, now their behavior is simply a defection to the country, such a family is really embarrassing!"
