Outside the Eagle Claw Fort, Leon was still sitting there.

But most of the troops had already returned to him, except for Raphael and the Horn-Summoning Rangers who were not here.

Everyone was quiet, no one spoke.

"My lord, there doesn't seem to be much movement in the city...... The sound of the battle is sparse."

Wentilph had been standing beside Leon and listening to the city.

There were not many Gatu people on the city wall anymore, and there were dozens of them standing, but they didn't shoot any more arrows, but turned to stare outside the city, looking at Leon's troops.

"Then it's time for us to act......

The lord stood up and turned to pick up an arrow.

The arrows of the arrow were wrapped around the tarpaulin, and Amy leaned forward and lit it.

This is a rocket.

"Wendy, do you see that package under the city gate? Shoot it."

Leon handed the rocket to Wendelph, then pointed to the strange package that had been placed under the east door.

Wenttilph took the rocket in a bit of a daze, she didn't really understand what it meant.

But it wasn't too hard for her to shoot a fixed target, and Wendy took a casual aim at the arrow.

At the moment when the arrow hit the package, Wendy noticed that the city gate seemed to have burst suddenly!

The corpses piled up at the city gate seem to be flying?

"Boom!"

Half a second later, she heard the most terrible thunder she had ever encountered in her life, which could make her ears buzz from nearly two hundred meters away.

It's the sound of lightning striking a tree!

The result was no different from thunder and lightning - the city gate of Eagle Claw Fort instantly became torn apart, and the horse corpses piled up at the gate were even shocked to more than ten meters away.

Huge smoke rose from the city gate, and after the smoke passed, the walls near the gate became charred black.

The horses neighed in fright, but fortunately they were far away, otherwise a large number of horses would have been frightened and galloped.

The Cato on the city walls were apparently so frightened that several of them even fell out of the city, and after that, there were no more people on the walls.

Obviously, this terrible sound frightened the Gatu, and no one dared to go up the wall.

"It's actually this kind of power, I'll have to try it with a sealed jar next time......

Leon whispered to Amy, then looked at the stunned team behind him and drew his sword: "Everyone dismount, get ready, listen to my orders!"

Leon didn't attack immediately, because the troops behind him were all a little frightened at this time, and there was some fear in their eyes when they looked at Leon, and the only one who remained calm was Amy.

He was going to wait for the troops to calm down.

But the reasons for the frightening of these troops are not the same.

The female explorers of the Griffon's Sword Mercenary Regiment are relatively calm, and these explorers have traveled far and wide to see and hear about Buckley's new weapon.

And they had seen the musket in Amy's hand, and they could guess that the explosion had something to do with gunpowder, but they didn't expect it to be so loud.

They are also the fastest reacting troops at present, and after hearing the order, they all dismounted, drew their swords and shields and moved forward, lined up dozens of meters away, and made preparations for a charge.

But the expressions of the Noldor elves were extremely complicated......

They were not afraid of the power of the explosion, but they were wondering what was causing it.

Wentilf also stood there stunned, looking at the bow in her hand, and then at the city gate that had been blown open in front of her, she was very frightened.

The other Noldor elves looked at Wentilph with mixed eyes, and then at Leon, with a palpable look of awe in their eyes as they looked at them......

For the Noldor Elves, this legendary thing that summons a thunderstorm to break through the city is real in their historical records, but it exists in a different form - this form is called magic.

Magic that can only be used by Sindari elves!

"Wendy...... you

…… Can you use magic?!"

Vendatil stammered, her throat a little dry, but a look of surprise gradually appeared on her face.

"Sindari! Wendy, you've woken up! …… Ha ha...... This is Rayfa...... This is the ultimate magical talent!"

Twilight Knight Neuer reacted even more than Vendatier, and he was already laughing maniacally, probably thinking that the elves were about to rise again......

"No, I ...... It's not ......."

Wentleph looked at her right hand in confusion.

But the Noldor elves had all begun to salute Wendy's chest by now.

"Oops...... I...... You guys...... This is arranged by Lord Leon, this is not ***!"

Wendy took a step back, looking uneasily at the elders who bowed to her, waving her hands helplessly.

The lord found the reaction of the group of Noldor very interesting, and he simply fooled around again, in fact, with a joking meaning: "Ha! Wendy, you did it...... Next time I'll teach you a more powerful spell that promises to knock down walls with a single arrow!"

Amy covered her mouth and laughed secretly.

Wendy was even more confused: "Lord Leon, what's going on...... This magic ...... It's none of my business, is it?!"

Amy put down the hand covering her mouth, put on a serious look, and stepped forward to pat Wentileff on the shoulder, "Lord Leon can channel your hidden magic, Wendy, you are a magician now......

Originally, Amy was just cooperating with Leon to fool around, she knew that after this battle, everyone would understand that it was gunpowder, but now she was also happy to let the Noldors misunderstand, after all, everyone has a bad taste.

However, Amy's words caused a stir among the Noldor elves—almost all of them looked at Leon and uttered the same voice: "Magister!?"

Then, all of Noldor, including Vendatier and Neuer, knelt down on one knee with reverence on their faces, and bowed their heads deeply......

This is probably the highest etiquette of the Noldor, the Noldor elves will not kneel and bow their heads so much even when facing the elf king, and stroking the chest is already a etiquette for the elves to show respect.

The lord was also a little stunned when he looked at it, when did the proud elf bow his head to the humans?

He found that his jokes seemed to be too big......

But looking at Vendatil's pious appearance, Leon knew that he must not debunk this joking fool, or he might be beaten......

Thinking about the fighting power and violent tendencies that Vendatil had shown at the beginning, Lord Lord swallowed and turned his head to look at Talon Castle.

There are already Cato people at the gate of the city probing their brains, and they should march immediately.

So Leon didn't explain again, but raised his sword: "Everyone! Follow me! Attack with all your might!"

Then, the lord took the lead and rushed towards the blasted gate.

All the troops followed Leon and began to charge.

The Noldor elves were particularly active at this time, and they all ran as fast as they could, and it didn't take long to overtake the female explorers who were originally running in front.

Vendatier and Neuer rushed to the front and protected Leon on both sides, probably for fear that the "Magister" would be in danger......

Only Wentleve was still stunned.

Amy was also in place, of course she didn't need to rush forward as a musketeer, and Leon wouldn't let her fight in a white-knuckle fight.

Seeing that Wendy was still in a daze, Amy stepped forward and grabbed her shoulder: "Wendy, what's wrong with you?"

"Amy...... Is Leon really a Magister?"

Wendy was still uneasy to look at the shattered horse corpse outside the city gate, her purple eyes full of suspicion, and it looked like there was a cloud of mist swirling inside.

"Ah...... Someone who can make gunpowder is probably the same thing...... After all, gunpowder can probably be considered magic, and the Buckley Continent used to call it magic fire......

Amy also found it difficult to explain, she was only a half-understood beginner, and it was really difficult to explain gunpowder to a person who had little scientific knowledge.

"But I don't want to be a Sindari ......."

Hearing Amy say this, Wendy nervously grabbed Amy's hand: "It is said that after becoming Sindari, you will become emotionless! I don't want to ......."

"Huh? Ha...... Don't worry, Wendy, you won't...... You're not a Sindari elf......

Amy laughed dryly, and she felt that this seemed even more difficult to explain......

She knows the stories of the elves, and with the help of her mentor, the Sindari elves will gradually master the ability to materialize magical powers, and will become stronger and stronger as they grow older.

However, it is said that as the Sindari elves possess powerful magical powers, their feelings become more and more indifferent, just like the legendary dragons and titans, who are not only indifferent to life, but also inhuman......

In fact, this is what will inevitably happen after the individual life is strong to a certain point - when the individual has the power of God, it is inevitable that he will regard himself as a god himself, and he will naturally not value other small life so much.

They will only be in awe of beings of equal ability.

Even human beings, whose individual strength can never reach this level, will mostly ignore other weak people after they have the ability and power beyond ordinary people.

However, Amy at least knew that Leon was certainly not a Magister, and Wentilph was not Sindari.

"Wendy, let's go to the city first, and we'll talk about that later...... Leon will make it clear to you......

Seeing that Leon had already rushed into Talon Fort with his troops, Amy took Wendy and walked towards the city, she felt that this kind of difficult matter should be left to Leon to solve by himself, who let that guy mess around himself......

The various forces in Talon Fort are currently exhausted, and they are each stationed in one direction of the central intersection of the castle, and the battle between them is not fierce.

However, when the thunderous sound of the east gate of the castle was heard, the various parties in the city began to fight fiercely.

Because the Gatu people launched a furious assault like crazy at this time.

The Gato did not immediately investigate the bombed gates - they did not dare.

In fact, the explosives themselves did not cause any damage to the Gatu, just like Leon said to Amy, the explosives ratio was a little problematic, and the power was even less than Leon imagined.

Li Ang was originally an explosive made with a ratio of 75% nitrate, 11% sulfur, and 14% charcoal, and it was a granular gunpowder made by soaking the powder of the mixed material with a nitrate solution, and then drying and crushing.

This is very close to the exact ratio, but it is clear that the purity of the material is not sufficient......

Sulfur can be purified, but charcoal cannot, and the charcoal produced by different trees has different effects, and even moisture protection is a big problem.

Therefore, even according to the scientific proportion, the explosive power of the explosives made in this era is still difficult to meet expectations.

In addition, there is no built-in ignition device, and no containers that can withstand high pressures are used.

If the detonation does not create a high-pressure environment, the explosives will not be able to accelerate the reaction process, and the power of the explosion will be reduced by at least ten times.

The explosive package ignited by external ignition, the explosives were directly depressurized in the process of detonation, which was impossible to achieve full detonation, so the sound was quite loud after the explosion, but the city wall was basically undamaged.

Leon used ten pounds of explosives and deliberately used the carcasses of horses to confine the blast space, but only blew through the city gates.

But even so, the Cato were afraid......

The people of Cato had never seen such a heavenly spectacle, and the gates were shattered with a roar—who would dare to go and see it, if it were to come again?

Therefore, after the east gate was blown open, the first reaction of the Gatu was not to rush out of the open gate, but to launch a frenzied attack to the west and north.

They wanted to stay as far away as possible from the terrifying "Heavenly Punishment", even if the city was full of enemies like tin cans, but at least they were people, creatures they could kill......

And Leon did not rush into the city immediately after the explosion, he wanted to confirm the situation in the city. straight

It was only when he saw that the Cato began to probe their brains at the east gate that he charged.

By the time the lord stormed the city, the Cato had already lost most of their dead and wounded.

There were corpses everywhere, and blood pooled on the ground to form a stream.

It's unclear what the situation is with the forces of the Lion Knights and the Raven Kingdom, but it's probably not much better.

The sounds of fighting coming from the center of the city seemed a little weak.

The Cato near the east gate were exhausted by this time, and although they were still brave, they were obviously unable to withstand the new force of Leon, who did not take much effort to penetrate half the street.

The troops advanced step by step, while the Catons continued to retreat until they reached the center of the city.

The Noldor Elves are now truly fighting alongside humans, and in the street fighting environment, the teams are gradually blending together.

In this kind of dense battlefield, friendly forces often support each other subconsciously.

The Noldor would use their tough shields to help their allies block deadly slashes, and human soldiers would use their spears to pierce the Gatu who were ready to take down the Noldor.

No one will mention any racial hatred at this time, and the Cato are the common enemy.

"Vendatier, take the rangers to the rooftops, and you use bows and arrows......

Li Ang gave an order a little helplessly.

He was closely protected by a group of Noldor masters, and he didn't even have much room to play.

Neuer stood in front of him, and there was no enemy in front of Twilight Knight, not a single enemy was missing.

And Vendatil was at his side, more like a bodyguard than Risa Dilan.

Vendatier looked left and right, and saw that Leon was probably quite safe next to him, so he nodded and climbed to the roof with the rangers.

But the lord found that he still had little to do—and several of Neuer's Noldor nobles surrounded him again......

In fact, the scene in the center of the city is quite terrifying.

The entire area of Eagle Claw Fort is roughly equivalent to a medium-sized sub-district in modern times.

But in such a small place, thousands of people died......

There were corpses everywhere, there was almost no place to stay, and the blood had become a thick paste, and one foot could drown the ankles.

Every step forward, one is sure to step on a certain corpse.

It was even common for soldiers with shields to block the view from their feet falling from corpses or bloody mud.

But Leon didn't feel dangerous at all, and he was surrounded by Noldor masters with shields.

"Roland! The troops are handed over to you!"

It seemed that he was not going to be able to kill the enemy or anything like that, so Leon simply let Sir Roland lead the way, and climbed the tallest house in the center of the city with the flag, and planted the griffin flag on the roof.

Then, he touched a piece of skin and rolled it into a horn and began to shout to the other side.

"Brethren of the Lion Knights, I am Leon! Were you scared by the Gatoites? The royal knights weren't so cowardly, were they? Lion Knight! Charge at my banner!"

The Lord Lord didn't want to boost the morale of the Lion Knights, he just didn't want the Lion Knights to retreat.

Leon led the attack from behind the Catu, but in fact it was the Lion Knights who were the most stressed......

Because the Cato people were originally frantically attacking the Lion Knights, and now that Leon is attacking from the east, the Cato people in the east are retreating step by step, and all the Cato are crushed in the center of the city, which is equivalent to further forcing the Cato people in the front row on the west side to fight more fiercely.

At this time, the Lion Knights were under considerable pressure, and they were already exhausted, and there was a high probability that they would collapse completely.

So Leon had to cheer them up.

「…… Do you see, even the Noldor elves are supporting us! You're all men, don't be as good as these girls! Charge! Don't tarnish the honor of the Royal Order! Kill those Catotes!"

The lord shouted.

"Honor is my life!"

The lion knights can indeed see the Noldor maiden on the rooftop

。 I don't know if it's the power of the word honor, or the reason for the Noldor girl, anyway, they did muster up the last strength, roared and began to fight, and it seemed that they were indeed more energetic.

Then the lord turned his head and pointed his horn towards the Raven Kingdom......

"Warriors of the Raven Realm, the strife between kingdoms can be put aside, and now our enemies are the Gatu! As long as you are in this city, my troops will not attack you! The Noldor elves won't attack you......

Gregory IV, wearing a crown helmet, looked up at Leon on the roof, pulled down his mask, and asked the people around him, "Who is that?" Is that the leader of the previous unit?"

"It should be...... The troops who intercepted our scouts were flying this banner, and he seemed to have said his name was Leon."

A nobleman in Highland armor replied.

"Remember this bastard...... He's the one who dragged us into this quagmire!"

Gregory IV said with a frown.

"Your Majesty, while they are flanking the Cato, we can try to retreat and then hold the gates...... The Gato should not be able to storm us now! We can wait for them to lose both......

The nobleman suggested to Gregory IV that the Cato in front of them were indeed retreating, and that the Cato slowed their charge to the north, flanked by the Lion Knights and Leon.

"Good...... Let's get out first!"

Gregory IV turned and walked back.

But at this moment, he heard Leon's voice again.

"The Raven King is not here? Is the king of the Raven Realm absent? Your Majesty Gregory IV! Don't leave the city...... I'll have to attack you when you get out of the city, but this is the land of the Lion Kingdom...... In order not to hurt the peace, you better not let the troops exit the city gates!"
