Chapter 182: The Coso Wedge in Battle
On December 15, 454 in the New World Calendar, the weather was sunny today.
It was morning......
The sun that I haven't seen for a long time casts sunshine that is not warm at all.
Albert climbed the mountain step by step with heavy steps.
"Huh... Ha.... Climb over the mountain and we'll be able to see it! ”
He looked at the summit he was about to reach, and with a happy expression on his face, he had finally returned.
I'll be able to see Shirley again soon, and I wonder if she'll be worried if she hasn't been back for so long.
The thought of this quickened Albert's pace a lot.
Soon overtook the footsteps of the four Calebs.
"It's so energetic, it looks like gravity can be turned up a little bit."
Caleb looked at Albert as he drifted away, and turned Albert's gravity up to 3.5 times.
"Oops!"
Albert was suddenly attacked by gravity, and suddenly his feet were unsteady, and he came with his left foot and his right foot, and fell to the ground.
"Master, you need to increase your gravity, so let me know....."
Albert sat up, and turned to Caleb with a look of resentment.
Yes, Master.
After Albert swallowed the blood crystal, he finally learned all the tricks in his memory the day before yesterday.
Caleb did not break his promise and agreed to continue teaching Albert.
After some simple apprenticeship, Caleb is now Albert's master.
"Really? I thought you'd adjusted to gravity, and it stands to reason that you weren't supposed to fall just now. ”
Caleb walked slowly to Albert's side, and said with a flat face:
"Are you distracted again?"
One sentence made Albert tremble three times, and he was suddenly frightened to get up.
"No, no, no, no....."
Albert shook his head desperately, indicating that he was not distracted.
He didn't dare to say that he was thinking about his sister just now and caused him to fall.
Caleb's punishment in order to condense Albert's attention is very perverted.
Although there was no physical pain, the mental torture was even more terrifying.
Albert remembered the various punishments he had experienced.
Flying roller coaster, 10,000-meter jumping machine, deep space giant slalom......
"Woooo
Albert shuddered at the thought of his previous punishment.
Looking at Albert with a frightened look, Caleb felt that this punishment would be over, and it would not be good to be scared.
But he couldn't help but learn a lesson.
"A steady pair of feet is the most important thing in battle, and I should have taught you that.
Footwork is the most important thing in all professions, whether it's a mage or a warrior.
If you make a mistake, you may lose your life in the next second.
Of course, if you can fly, it doesn't have to be, so can you fly? ”
Albert looked down, looking like he had made a mistake.
"I'm sorry Master, I was wrong."
Then Ena's voice came.
"Aha.... It's okay, Albert. ”
Boom!
The shadowless fist pierced the air, only to see the subtle air blowing the paper fluttering in front of him.
"My brother is not angry, my brother taught me to be like this."
Swish!
A quick kick was kicked out, and the cotton thread tied to the foot was instantly straightened, but there was no trace of tearing.
And under the control of telekinesis, the distance of the cotton thread is different each time.
Even so, Ena coped with it.
One step at a time, Ena slowly caught up.
She looked at Albert's frightened look and couldn't help laughing and comforting him.
"Really?"
Albert looked up and asked in disbelief.
The depressed expression on his face was somewhat softened.
"Yes, but Ena is not like you, who always makes some low-level mistakes and will not be punished."
Caleb said with a playful look on his face.
This sentence immediately hit Albert again.
"Aha...."
Ena laughed and continued her workout, which was nearing the end of her strength workout.
She could feel the elusive and incomparably close feeling, and I believed that she would soon be able to touch the realm of simplification.
"Hurry up, everyone else is gone."
At Caleb's urging, Albert got back to his feet and headed for the top of the mountain.
...............
"Huh... Ha.... Finally... It's finally here.... Rest. ”
Albert climbed to the top of the hill and lay on the top of the hill panting.
Caleb and the others also came up one after another.
Caleb looked left and right, and asked Albert, who was lying on the ground:
"It's not far from the Corso Wedge, isn't it?"
Albert said before that when you go down the mountain, you can walk more than ten kilometers to get there.
So the shadow of the Corso wedge can already be seen from the top of the mountain.
"Ahh Yes, it's almost there, and from there you can see the Corso wedge. ”
Albert lay on the ground, nodded, and pointed in a certain direction.
"Everywhere, I'll see it too."
"It's the first time I've seen a city from the mountains."
Except for Albert, everyone else went in that direction.
Want to see what the next city looks like.
Caleb gradually approached the edge of the mountaintop, and the city of Koso Wedge also came into the eyes of Caleb and the others.
The scene fell silent for a while......
"How's that, isn't it beautiful?"
Albert asked, he liked Corso's wedge very much, and naturally hoped that Caleb would like them.
No one responded to Albert's question.
"Huh? What's wrong? ”
Albert looked at the crowd who had not spoken for a long time and asked suspiciously.
Caleb's voice came.
"Albert, let's not mention whether the drift is beautiful or not, the Corso wedge seems to be about to be breached."
Caleb looked at the city that was burning in the distance, and the thick black smoke almost obscured the entire city's sky.
Their southern wall facing Caleb was fine, but the northern facing forest was almost destroyed.
Although it is far away, it can still be seen that this should be a Warcraft siege.
"What!"
Albert's face was startled, and he immediately got up and ran to Caleb's side.
"How could it be ..... so fast?"
Albert looked at the burning city in the distance with a blank face, and sat on the ground with the soles of his feet limp.
He knew that there would be a Warcraft attack in the near future.
It should be said that this is already a phenomenon that the Coso wedge will have at the end of each year.
But I didn't expect it to be so many days earlier this time.
In previous years, it was only on the last day of each year that a large number of demonic beasts would attack.
This time, it was actually half a month ahead of schedule.
"Not good! Shirley! Shirley is still in town! ”
Albert remembered something, and hurriedly stood up, trying to run down the mountain.
"Wait, with your current strength, even if you run to the Corso wedge.
It's just a full stomach for a certain demonic beast, calm down. ”
Caleb grabbed Albert by the shoulder with one hand and pressed him in place.
"Master, let me go! Shirley is still in town, and I'm going to save him. ”
Albert struggled, trying to break free of Caleb's grasp.
But this is what Albert's shallow strength can break free, and it wastes half a day's strength, but it annoys Caleb.
Boom!
Caleb withdrew his fist, looked at Albert, who had regained his composure, and said:
"Running over at your speed, the daylilies are cold, of course you have to fly in this case."
Albert's face froze, and cold sweat suddenly flowed.
"Wait...."
Before he could say anything, Albert found that his body was already floating.
"Wait...."
"Gone!"
Caleb patted Albert on the shoulder, and Ena and Betty were picked up behind him.
The four of them flew towards the Corso wedge at a breakneck speed.
A series of Albert's screams were left in the sky.
"Ahhhh
It seems that Caleb's punishment really left a psychological shadow on Albert.
Albert, who was not afraid of heights, now suffers from a fear of heights.
"Ahh......h
"Kill Albert, be quiet."
Unable to stand Albert's voice, Caleb set up a barrier to lock him inside, and finally became much cleaner.
It was only now that Caleb had time to think.
Before his destination arrived, he carefully checked his surroundings.
'There is nothing abnormal, and the intensity of the magic power is not high, excluding the siege of demonic beasts caused by the environment.
It seems that there is a human factor in it, which is the same crazy phenomenon as the White Dragon King. ’
After determining that it is not a regional Warcraft siege, there are only two possibilities left: seasonal and artificial.
But the appearance of Warcraft attacking the city in winter is a very unusual thing in itself.
Seasonal Warcraft Sieges generally occur in spring and autumn.
The former is due to the fact that when it comes to the period of reproduction, the mood is restless.
Some Warcraft will be strongly aggressive at such times, resulting in a large number of Warcraft storming the city.
The latter is for food for the winter, and some old monsters can't grab those young monsters, so they can only run to attack the town to get food.
As for what kind of food it is, Warcraft is actually not very picky, as long as it can be eaten.
After all, not every Warcraft siege will be successful, it should be said that the number of successes is very small.
Most of the last food obtained by the besieging monsters is actually the corpses of the monsters that attack the city together.
And in the winter, when the Warcraft hibernates, there is a Warcraft siege, which is already a contrary to common sense.
But looking at Albert's performance, it seems like it's been going on for a long time.
Why didn't the kingdom investigate such an anomalous phenomenon, is it because of the Great Forest of Hill?
Caleb looked into the forest in the distance, knowing that there must be a long-standing creature inside, planning this incident.
What is it for, just trying to attack the city?
No, it shouldn't be, it can't last that long.
If you want to siege the city, you should have taken it or destroyed it a long time ago.
There's a deeper conspiracy here. ’
Caleb had a faint premonition in his heart that this was not simple.
But for a moment he couldn't remember what was wrong.
Boom - Boom –
"Ah.....h
"Kill—"
"Hold on! Not a single beast can be brought in. ”
Time for thinking passed quickly, and in the blink of an eye, Caleb was already above the Corso wedge.
Callela's distance from the city of Corso Wedge is such that the whole city comes into view.
It should be said that it is a large city, and the area is large.
The range of the Warcraft attack is also very large, stretching for dozens of kilometers of battle lines.
Completely block a city wall.
There are also a lot of soldiers in the city, and there are many magic weapons that are not equipped in small and medium-sized cities, such as magic crystal cannons and the like.
On a battlefield of this magnitude, the individual is no longer able to dominate the victory.
Even the strongest person may be consumed by this huge number.
Caleb shook his head, now was not the time to think about this, to find Albert's sister first.
He opened Albert's barrier and asked him:
"Albert, what about your sister? Where is it? ”
Albert could not be afraid at this time, and hurriedly pointed in the direction of the north, and shouted loudly:
"Over there, it's home to the Liberty Feather Adventure Team, and my sister and I are staying in their hotel!"
It was close to the northern wall where the battle was taking place, and was a settlement for adventurers and civilians.
Through telekinetic scanning, most of the civilians were hiding in the house, and Albert's sister was supposed to be there as well.
"Okay, let's go!"
Caleb summoned a large number of nanoworms wrapped around the four of them in a large ball.
With a fluctuation of light, the figures of the four disappeared into the air.
Then Caleb descended with the four men into the city.
After all, the city is forbidden to be empty, even in the previous small cities.
Now such a large city is equipped with a magic crossbow and a magic crystal cannon.
Caleb didn't want to be mistaken for a flying beast and be hit with a magic crystal cannonball.
Slowly landing on the ground, Caleb removed the nanoworms, and the group ran out of the corner.
"Quick! This way! ”
Albert looked anxious as he ran ahead to lead the way.
Suddenly!
Boom –
A bang rang out from the city walls, and Caleb looked at the walls in the distance.
I saw that a magic crystal cannon on the city wall was blown up by the attack of the demonic beast, and a cannonball in the barrel was ejected into the city.
"Not good!"
Caleb calculated the drop point in the blink of an eye, and there it was!
'It's too late! ’
Bang Bang –
The loud explosion stopped Albert's footsteps.
He looked at the large swaths of houses that had been knocked down by the explosion of the shells, and inside they were where they lived.
Whose blood splashed on Albert's face and woke him up from this shocking reality.
"Shirley! Not ——! ”
