-148- The gods will protect us

The whimpering horn grew high, and the silver glow lit up on the battlefield.

As the accompanying mages chanted, the inscriptions on the Boulder-Violet Extraordinary Standing Armor lit up.

"Hold the shield!"

The commanding nobleman shouted.

The standing soldiers, clad in full armor, raised their shields, and the inscriptions on the shields also lit up, and finally a honeycomb-shaped magical shield was outlined above the military formation.

Castre's arrows rained down, and the galleys in the river rang out in unison.

However, with the exception of the enchanted arrows used by the transcendents or the expensive Demonic Stone Bullets, regular attacks can hardly damage the activated magical array.

The two sides soon engaged on the bridge, and as soon as they did, it was a one-sided situation.

The nobles who led the Castel soldiers to defend the bridge were almost instantly engulfed by the brilliance of the magical array, and the silver array was like a sharp steel knife, easily tearing through Castre's line and piercing the bridge.

Charlotte, who was looking at the battle from a distance from the tower of North Harbor, could see more clearly.

After the enemy's magic array was dispatched, the Beigang Bridge, which had been tugging between the two sides for a long time, was captured by the enemy at a speed of almost one meter per second, and the soldiers on Castel's side were either swallowed up by the attacking extraordinary army formation or squeezed off the bridge.

"Lord Earl, Baron Somur has summoned a message that the Beigang Bridge can no longer be defended!"

"Lord Earl, Viscount Roman-Fort has sent a message that the fleet's demon-destroying ammunition has been emptied, and Lord Viscount suggests destroying the Beigang Bridge to prevent the enemy from crossing the river!"

"Lord Earl......"

All sorts of bad news came one after another, and the situation deteriorated rapidly.

Charlotte also noticed that the magic shield that enveloped the entire North Harbor was also becoming more and more crumbling under the fire of the coalition fleet, and it seemed that it could be broken at any time.

"Lord Earl......"

Viscount Lean-Castell looked solemnly in the direction of the Northport Bridge and couldn't help but say:

"Destroy the bridge, we must not allow the transcendent to cross the river, once they succeed in crossing the river, the enemy's stone cannons will also be transferred to the north bank, and the north port will fall into an even more dangerous situation......"

"Lord Earl, please give the order to destroy the bridge! Once they manage to take control and activate the defensive magic, it's hard for us to do it! ”

"Yes, the Beigang Bridge can be rebuilt in the future, but Beigang must not fall!"

Other nobles also persuaded them.

Charlotte slowly retracted her gaze and shook her head slightly:

"No, the Beigang Bridge is the key to our counteroffensive and cannot be destroyed."

"Lord Earl!"

The nobles became anxious:

"If you can't even hold on, how can you talk about a counterattack?"

"Yes, Boulder has so many supernatural reserves that we can't fight against ......"

Viscount Leon Castel also sighed:

"Lord Earl, although the magical defense system of Beigang is strong, there is a limit to what it can withstand, in order to protect the city, our shield is almost at the limit, if we continue to let the enemy advance, the consequences are unimaginable......"

As he spoke, he glanced at Charlotte deeply and said respectfully:

"I'm sure you've thought about it and you're looking forward to coming back, but what we need to think about now is how to defend it."

"The strength of the spell shield is related to the strength of the maintainer, and although President Leyton is a veteran Silver Moon Mage, it is still too difficult to maintain such a large-scale magical defense."

"Our Castel is no longer the Castel with the blazing sun, and perhaps your father could easily prop up a shield to protect civilians in the Star-Moon War, but now ...... Times are different. ”

"Lord Count, the magical power of our castel is not as good as it used to be, and there are times when some sacrifices must be made in order to win......"

Listening to the old viscount's words, Charlotte's heart moved slightly:

"Leon Castel, you mean ......"

Viscount Leon Castel gritted his teeth and said:

"Destroy the Beigang Bridge, lift the protection of the city, and only maintain the magical protection of the Earl's Court and the fortress, and delay the holding as long as possible!"

Charlotte frowned slightly.

She was about to answer, when she suddenly heard a sound in the sky that seemed to be glass cracking.

Charlotte looked up, only to see that the magical shield that shrouded the North Harbor suddenly became more and more unstable, and some weak points even began to become illusory.

The shelling of the Duchy's fleet continued.

In Charlotte's slightly condensed gaze, some stone projectiles even managed to penetrate the shield's protection and fall into the city of North Harbor.

A loud roar was heard, and puffs of smoke rose from the city, and the screams of people in terror could be heard from time to time.

Suddenly, another guard hurried over, followed by two guards, supporting a magical apprentice with a pale face.

"Lord Earl! There's an emergency report on the Mage Tower! ”

The guard said quickly.

Charlotte looked at the apprentice:

"What happened?"

"Earl...... My lord, Lord Leyton is about to lose it, and the magic shield ...... Want...... It's the limit......"

Listening to the apprentice's words, the surrounding nobles changed color.

"Lord Earl! Can't put it off any longer! ”

Viscount Leon Castel shouted.

Charlotte was silent.

"Lord Earl!"

The old viscount repeated anxiously again.

Charlotte raised her head at this time, only to see her glance at the illusory magic shield in the sky, and suddenly said:

"Leon Castel, you just said ...... My father used to maintain defensive magic covering the entire Northport for a long time during the Star-Moon War? ”

The old viscount was stunned for a moment, and subconsciously replied:

"Yes."

Charlotte was thoughtful.

After a few breaths, I saw her suddenly raise her head and say directly to the guards:

"Let's go, take me to the Mage's Tower."

The guards and nobles were stunned for a moment, but looking at the girl's serious and beautiful face, the old viscount thought of something, and his expression changed suddenly:

"Your Excellency, Lord Count...... You don't want to control the magical defense system yourself, do you? ”

"Yes, your father did maintain a defense system covering the entire North Harbor for a long time, but your father is the blazing sun! It's not the same! ”

"It's true that you're growing fast and have a lot of talent, but you're still Silver Moon!"

"The spiritual strength and magic power of the Blazing Sun powerhouse far surpass that of ordinary transcendents, that is not a gap that can be made up by numbers, you can't do it, and it is likely that your life will be in danger!"

"You ......"

Charlotte suddenly raised her hand and stopped his words.

I saw her put her green index finger to her lips, revealing a soft and beautiful smile, and said softly:

"If you don't try, how do you know?"

As she spoke, she raised her head and reverently drew a ring cross on her chest:

"It's not just the Third Prince who is fighting with us, it's also the Blood Demon Sect that he secretly supports behind him......"

"I believe that as long as you have a pious heart, the gods ...... will protect us and defeat evil. ”

Sorry, I had too much work in the morning, and I didn't have time to finish it all the time, so I dragged it out until now.
