Chapter 265: Attack and Kill
The capital of the Imperial Guise, as the capital of the empire that has always been the second most powerful and now completely occupies the first place, is naturally magnificent, and now, due to the turbulence of the times, the vigilance has reached the highest level. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 infoAt the beginning, Wu Tian's first stop was the capital of the Jisi Emperor, but at that time, due to the existence of Xiaolong, no matter how strict the vigilance was, it was meaningless.
Today, the Imperial Capital of Gist can no longer be described as martial law, and the entire Imperial Capital is simply ready for battle. On the walls of the outer city, there were armies, and judging by the number of banners, there were no less than a million people.
Outside the city walls, there were no pedestrians, and the gates were closed, but an old man stood alone a thousand meters from the gates. The old man stood straight, and his face was ruddy, but his eyes looked melancholy.
This is none other than Billen, the former head of the Academy of Magic, who was once the most respected in the Guise Empire, and even in the empire whose reputation was above Emperor Eddard. Not long ago, due to the struggle for power, he was placed under house arrest by Ed, and the domestic forces were also uprooted by Ed. Of course, this is only on the surface, after all, Billon has enjoyed honor for such a long time, and no one can say how much power there is in the country. In addition, Billen's reputation is extremely high, and if he really wants to raise his arms and shout, Ed really doesn't dare to say that he will eat Billen. Originally, it was best to kill a hundred such characters, but Ed and Billon are uncles and nephews after all, and it is difficult to hide the mouths of the countrymen if they are killed. In order to prevent Billon from having a chance to turn over, Ed had to put him under house arrest in the palace, hoping that Billon would live until he died of old age.
It's a pity that Ed missed his cheap brother Rafa. Rafa found the orcs. Come to the rescue with an army of orcs. For the sake of the big picture, Ed had to hand over Billen. Just wait for Rafa to come and get them. However, the orcs are ferocious in the eyes of humans. There was no certainty that the orcs would suddenly attack the imperial capital after the goal was achieved, so they had to let the army defend on the city wall.
The banner on the city wall was not fake, and there were indeed millions of troops on the city wall at this time. In the inner city, there are members of the royal family, and there are various nobles, and when Ed is not in the city, only a large army can make these nobles feel at ease.
Only a very small number of people really know the life and death of the current Giss Imperial Capital. Only in the thought of Rafa. The million army, in the eyes of the beast army that came over this time, is just a number, and it doesn't matter whether it is big or small at all.
The beast army that came this time was all the people of the Hall of Wales, and the key was the five thousand shaman attendants. This team of waiters was originally handed over to Lilan by Wu Tian for training, and the number once reached tens of thousands, but five thousand were killed by Zhan Li, and only five thousand remained.
Originally. Wu Tian really needs the strength of these waiters, and the training is to let Lilan spare no effort and hide her selfishness. And the power of a single waiter is not strong, if you take it apart. The strongest Samurai Soul Commander is at most the level of the Great Magister, but the Five Thousand Elements Array formed by the Five Elements Formation is a great mage, and it is for nothing that the Great Magus comes. This is the power of the formation. Wu Tian has a soft spot for formations, but he has never had the right people to test them. Instead, he found such an opportunity when he was in the beast clan, so these five thousand waiters will. It's really that even Manerli doesn't dare to take it lightly.
Not to mention how much Ed knows about such a detailed situation, at least in the imperial capital, no one actually knows the details of this team of attendants in the beast army, and Ed's cronies only know that the orcs who came this time are very powerful, and his cronies have been ordered to let Rafa lead Biren away, and everything will be said when he returns.
Of course, such an order was confined to the imperial capital. In Ed's mind, even the imperial capital, which was directly threatened, adopted a state of non-resistance and defense, so other local forces would not take the initiative to provoke the orcs. However, there are still many accidents in this world, and they are very frequent.
This time the accident came from outside the city, and when the imperial capital decided to let Biren go, the news quickly spread, especially some people with good intentions.
To say that Billon has a great reputation among Gith, and there are many supporters, but there are not a few people who have opinions about it, otherwise Eddard would not have been so tough to deal with the Billon forces with lightning speed, and there are naturally many people who oppose Billon.
The accident was caused by a team of 10,000 people, who came from the domestic power of the Guise Empire. This force is not Ed's diehards, but it is a hardcore supporter, and the reason is naturally that Billon has an irreconcilable grudge with this family, and when Ed wants to deal with Billon and finds this family, this family of course sees it as an opportunity for the family to get back on its feet, and it can be said that Ed supports him to the death. However, when they knew that Billon was going to be released, they thought that the grudge between the two sides would likely cause the family to be retaliated, or that when Billon turned over one day, his family would be suppressed to death. As the saying goes, the dog jumps over the wall in a hurry, and the family sent an assassination team to kill the Byren who was waiting in front of the city gate.
As for Billon, as the emperor's uncle, with his strength, it is impossible for Ed's father to become the emperor back then. Billon was not the emperor because he wanted to cultivate wholeheartedly and didn't want to be dragged down by politics. However, to put it bluntly, Billon actually lived for politics in the end, but not for the sake of being emperor, but for the auspicious empire, an empire that his ancestors had worked hard for many generations.
The Maas Empire has always been friendly with Nas, and even intermarried with each other, while the Cass Empire has an extremely close relationship with Ta Domain. There is only the Guise Empire, although the Nas Kingdom belongs to the Guise Empire, although the two sides are not yet hostile, friendship cannot be discussed. On the other hand, on the side of the Tower Domain, the Guise Empire has no friendship. For this grand event after a thousand years, the Guise Empire also has an extremely complete record, of course, this also has limitations, but the Guise family does not know. In short, in order to be able to pass on the Guise Empire well after a thousand years, Billon had to look for foreign aid, but he was not looking for human forces, but the orcs who had always been hostile to humans.
The orcs have been nesting in the Southlands, and of course they are extremely angry. However, the human empire has become stronger. The orcs are getting slimmer to return to the Northlands. But Byren knows a secret, a secret related to Manerly and Selt. Knowing that there are still these two peerless powerhouses in the beast clan, such powerhouses can only be dealt with by the three giants of the tower domain.
But. An existence like Manerli doesn't mean that he can make a move if he wants to, just like the three giants of the Tower Domain. Beings like them, who have survived thousands of years ago, often have a retreat for decades or even hundreds to hundreds of years, and each time they go out of the customs means that their vitality is consumed, so until the last moment, they are not willing to go out for the sake of mundane things.
Orcs and humans are natural enemies, and if they want to know about the arrangement of humans but can't send people to investigate, they are eager to find allies in the human empire. And so Biren got on the orc chariot.
In any case, Billon is a human being, and cooperating with the orcs is just taking advantage of each other. As for today, thousands of years later, Biren knows that even with his own help to let the orcs know a lot of information about humans, it is impossible for the orcs to destroy the entire human race or eliminate the tower domain, at most they can be on an equal footing with the tower domain, and together they can survive this catastrophe on the continent, and the Guise Empire can cross it together with the beast clan's chariot. As for what happened afterwards, Billen really didn't think much about it. As long as he survived the catastrophe, he thought that the tower domain would be a reckoning after the autumn. It won't destroy the Guise Empire, which is also a human being, at most, he will have to bear the blame of the Tower Domain.
But Billon never expected that the blame he had to bear did not come from the Tower Domain. It's from his nephew Eddard. Speaking of Ed, he has been obedient to Billon for many years. But I didn't expect that he had already begun to calculate Billon, and he also had a mysterious celestial organization as a backer. It's not like Billon can't fight with Eddard to break the net. In the end, however, he chose to remain silent, even though his silence led to the collapse of all his powers.
So what, it is the power of the empire that dies, instead of letting Ed win a miserable victory, it is better to give this victory to Ed generously, at least the empire will not collapse, so that Ed still has the right to speak within the Heavenly Organization.
Alas...... Billon stood not far in front of the city gate, slowly looked back at the imperial city behind him, and couldn't help but sigh a long sigh. When Billon was about to give up everything, he didn't expect that his son Rafa would actually find an orc helper, so that Ed had to let him go.
As for why Rafa was able to move the hearts of the beasts and send troops to the rescue, Billon can still imagine a thing or two. Although Billon's power has collapsed, Billon has been the most respected existence of the empire for decades, and his roots are deep and deep, and he can still help the orcs when necessary. And take 10,000 steps back and say, pulling Biren into his chariot, at least there is no harm in the orcs, because Biren's strength is no longer enough to hurt the orcs, and a toothless dog, even if it can't bite people, can bark twice.
"It's coming!"
Suddenly, there was a commotion on the city walls, and the people on the walls saw the large number of black spots in the distance before Bren.
In the distance, it was indeed the orcs who arrived, and since the imperial capital did not issue an interception order, various local forces gave up intercepting the orc legions. In the human empire, it has long been known that the orcs have tens of millions of troops heading north, and the high-level of the human empire has long been unanimously approved, and the evacuation is brought out to let the orcs pass, although I don't know why the orcs have such a small group of people and horses deviated from the evacuated area, but without the support of the high-level, the local forces still dare not come forward to intercept alone after losing several waves of people. On the orc side, Gru received an order to help Rafa save people, and he didn't want his army to do anything too out of the ord. The waiter team is indeed very strong in Gru's heart, but Gru, who has no contact with humans, also has more fears about the human race, so he has been walking on remote mountain roads since he broke up with Manerli and them, and it is very convenient to fly in the sky anyway.
The formation of the centaurs led by Gru was very strange, not a phalanx or a long snake formation. Five thousand shamans are divided into five teams and line up in a circle in the center. The archers were second, and the wolf riders and the minotaurs were on the outermost, apparently in front of shields.
This kind of formation doesn't seem to be anything to the Guise side, even if they are replaced, they will let the shaman who is the role of a mage in the innermost, after all, these five thousand mages are the attack output of the whole team, but it is not understandable to divide the five thousand mages into five parts. Although humans have a way of working together as combat units, these groups are also grouped together because they can cooperate seamlessly with each other.
However, these are no longer the issues that the Giss capital has to consider. Anyway, they arranged the target of the orcs outside the city this time, and the only thing they had to do was not to let the orcs attack the imperial capital. As for the orcs to do other things, they were given the order to ignore them. You can see it, but you are absolutely not allowed to meddle.
The orcs rode all flying dragons, and the ability of the flying dragons to move was by no means comparable to that of the vultures, and in the absence of anyone to stop them, although the beast army also began to deliberately slow down, they still quickly approached the place where Bylon stood.
"Father, it's Father!" Rafa finally saw Billon standing in the distance clearly, and couldn't help but cry out excitedly. "General Gru, quick!"
Even though Biron was already close at hand, Rafa was still afraid of something unexpected and began to urge Gru eagerly.
"Humph!" Gru snorted, but didn't give the order to speed up. In Gru's eyes, he had a problem with Manrly asking him to cooperate with humans. This reminded him of the time when he followed Gehe, when he was proud of the world and went his own way, although it was full of thrills, his heart was extremely happy.
Dissatisfaction with Gru. Rafa didn't know whether he didn't pay attention or deliberately ignored him, but his eyes were not far from Billen. The more times like this, the more Rafa worried about accidents, and the emotion of gaining and losing made his heart beat more than twice as fast.
"Boom, boom, boom". Suddenly, several loud noises drowned out the sound of the wyvern flapping its wings and breaking the wind, between the surrounding heaven and earth. The energy that suddenly went berserk roared like it wanted to tear the heavens and the earth.
Enemy attack! This is the first thought that pops up in the minds of most people. Accidents still happened, and there was an ambush near Billen. These loud noises were none other than the extremely powerful magic cannons on the continent. Listening to the sound, it is still a large magic cannon, at least there are as many as three.
The sneak attacker was well hidden, even the energy fluctuations when preparing the magic cannon were concealed, and it was obvious that he had been prepared for a long time, waiting for the orcs to come.
At the same time as the magic cannon sounded, an inconspicuous cold arrow was rapidly approaching Biren, looking at the castration of the arrow, aiming at Biren's throat with great accuracy, obviously to seal the throat with an arrow, and kill Biren on the spot.
"Hum", a piercing sound appeared, and after the sound, starting from the center of the beast army, the energy curtains of five different colors expanded outward, and only stopped until the beast army was included.
"Bah", the next moment, three huge energy balls smashed on the energy curtain. Gru and Rafa and the others could almost feel the power of the energy ball that could absorb people's souls due to the excessive concentration of energy, but this kind of energy ball only hit ripples on the energy curtain, and even pressed the energy curtain deep into it, but it was a defense that could not break the energy curtain.
Although the energy ball was blocked, it had not yet burst out, and the faint pressure that existed made Gru and Rafa feel their breathing rapid. As soon as the energy curtain disappears, the entire orc army will disappear. What do the three large magic cannons represent, they represent the power comparable to the giant magic cannons, that is, it represents - forbidden spells!
In the face of such an attack, Gru was fine, after all, he knew exactly what kind of ability the team he led was. As for Rafa, he really felt that death was so near. Rafa approached Manerly, not that he thought Manerly would fight the humans for him, but he knew that if Manerley made a statement, Ed would have to make concessions, unless Ed was willing to turn his back on the orcs at such a time. And Manerli, on the other hand, obviously took this into account and was happy to help Rafa with this favor. Therefore, in Rafa's opinion, it doesn't matter how effective the army sent to him by Manerli is, even if it is so weak that it is not even as good as the militia, the strength of his Rafa is a real magister. However, what Rafa never expected was that there were people in the empire who wanted Biren to die so much, and actually sent someone to intercept him, and he did not hesitate to use magic cannons. The power of the large magic cannon, coupled with the fact that it was a sneak attack, even if Rafa had the strength of a magic master, in a hurry, he was not sure that even an energy ball could be received.
At the beginning, Rafa had also seen Gru order the army to deal with the Imperial army that came to intercept without knowing the situation, but it was all an ordinary army belonging to the local area, and the orcs had the advantage of five thousand shamans, so they could wipe out the other party's entire army without difficulty, but now it was different, it was really three large magic cannons, worthy of the forbidden spell, how could people deal with this in a hurry?
Seeing the ball of energy spin and touch the energy curtain and press it deeply, Rafa couldn't help but close his eyes in despair, and in his heart he was only full of resentment towards Eddard. Unexpectedly, Ed was not only not afraid to turn his face with the orcs, but also used a magic cannon, completely wanting the orcs to be wiped out with Biron, if so, it would be an endless situation with the orcs.
After a long time, Rafa finally felt that something was wrong, because although he still felt the oppression of the energy ball, he didn't hear the sound of the energy ball exploding, and he also felt that the pressure from the energy ball was slowly subsiding, and the energy breath of the energy ball seemed to be getting weaker and smaller.
"How so?"
Unable to resist the temptation of curiosity, Rafa finally opened his eyes, but he was stunned by the scene before him, unable to understand why this was happening.
I saw that the energy ball that was originally pressed on the energy curtain was slowly getting smaller, and the force of oppression was naturally decreasing, which was indeed happening, and it wasn't that Rafa's sense was wrong.
After all, Rafa was the strength of the Magister, and he quickly felt that the energy of the energy ball was being divided, and the differentiated energy was transferred through the energy curtain, and the destination of the transfer was only one place, that is, the shaman team formed a circle behind him.
Unsurprisingly, the ball of energy eventually grew smaller and smaller, and eventually disappeared into thin air. Before Rafa could wake up from his shock, several explosions suddenly sounded out of thin air, like a thunderbolt on a sunny day, and the heavens and the earth were shaken. (To be continued.) )
