Chapter 225: Another Battlefield

The portal only lasted for a short moment, but it was enough to bring Siegel and Erdu back to the physical world. The shockwave caused by the huge explosion behind them followed the two of them into the portal. Fortunately, the passage closed quickly, leaving the power of destruction in the void.

The two men rolled into a ball and fell into the dark warehouse. The shelves were knocked down, and the alchemy and spell-casting materials were smashed on the heads of the two people. Demonzuka kept screaming "Ouch, ouch", and he tried to support himself with his slender arms and legs, but was pushed back to the ground by the more nimble Siegel.

The mage stood up, the light from his wand illuminating his surroundings. He was delighted to find out that this was his storehouse of spell materials, the basement of Myr City.

"Finally back. He reached out and pulled up the mound, then looked around. There was a lot of dust on the floor and shelves, indicating that no one had cleaned it and that a long time had passed. Thinking of this, the joy in his heart was diluted a lot. It was difficult to calculate time in the void, and many times he would be immersed in meditation and the creation of magic arrays, how long had it been?

Siegel closed his eyes and communicated with his pet. Raven Baron was thrilled and delighted from the soul connection, and then obediently surrendered control. Through the eyes of the pet, Siegel saw Janet lying on the bed. She looked so weak, with an unhealthy flush on her face. Her belly was round, and her clothes were held up high, and it looked like it had been at least five or six months.

Fortunately, I was able to catch up with the birth of my child.

The dragon maiden pushed open the door and came in from outside with an angry face, complaining that the attacking army had begun to assemble again. There is no intention of resting at all. She convinces Janet to enter the secret passage as soon as possible. So that she can regain her true form. Let the armies outside know what the dragon's wrath is.

Siegel frowned, furious, how dare an army attack its territory?

Through the mouth of the demon pet Balon, he said to the two women in the bedroom, "I'm back, don't worry, leave everything to me." ”

"Siegel?!" exclaimed Janet. The pet nodded, then cut off contact with its owner.

Modesti sniffed with her nose, and she discovered a strange teleportation spell structure. I secretly felt strange. I didn't expect to follow this black-haired mage to see so many special spells, maybe the hope of finding my father is hidden here.

"Erdu, you stay here and hide, and I'll arrange you after I finish the battle. Siegel said, "There's a war going on outside, so don't go out for a while." ”

Mozuka nodded, then watched Siegel walk towards the door. The lock opened automatically, silently making way for him. The elemental energy around the mage was quickly mobilized and concentrated on his wand.

One person alone cannot change the tide of war unless he has an infinite amount of magic at his disposal. Siegel takes the alchemy from the space pouch. Pull them into filaments with a spell and wrap one end around the wand. The other end is made into a claw shape that can be opened and closed. Siegel then used the methods he learned from the Negus undead to carve runic lines on the Silver Claw, and combined with the techniques of the Elemental Rune Circle and the Energy Focusing Lens, he created a "charging device" for his wand.

He pulled out a Flame Soul Crystal and inserted it into the modified wand claw. The energy of the Flame Crystal is transformed and decomposed into the form of elemental energy, which can be harnessed by wands. Originally, Siegel needed to use his body to carry the surge of magical energy, and reconstruct these energies with his own mind in order to form a spell that could be launched through his wand. Now he only needs to perform the last two steps, which greatly reduces the burden on his body.

In short, he can unleash more magic - although the control will be affected and reduced, the number will undoubtedly increase significantly.

As he walked out of the warehouse, many of the residents of Heimland saw him. The refugees had been hiding from the castle underground for three days, and for three days all the men had been sent to the walls to take turns responding to the enemy's attacks. Only the elderly, women and children were left in the basement, and they snuggled up to each other, muffled their voices to comfort each other. A half-elf priest stood among them, holding aloft a silver emblem and leading the people in prayer to Mother Earth.

Siegel stopped, saluted the priest, and moved on. He had no intention of disturbing the sacred prayer ritual, which was still very helpful in calming the mood.

One level further up, there are warehouses and secret passages. Civilians are not allowed here, and at most some people who know how to bandage their wounds and deliver food can come up and check on the situation while they work. The armory was also here, with four blacksmiths busy, two trying to sharpen their gaped or blunt swords, and the other two working on broken shields. The enemy's arrows are endless, and shields and helmets are very important and life-threatening things.

In the center of the house, the Dwarven Perseverance Rune Stone floats in the air, providing strength to those here. It is a place where you can quickly recover your strength and has a good soothing effect on muscle pain caused by fatigue. Some orcs leaned against the corner, asleep to the tinkling of blacksmiths, and the loud snoring was heard in their ears. They all had wounds large and small, and the bandages that had been wrapped around them had been soaked with sweat and turned gray, and then they were covered with new blood.

They were either focused on the work at hand, or still in a dream, and Siegel stood in front of them for a moment, unaware. The guards guarding the entrance to the secret passage were stunned for a moment, and hurriedly stood up straight, causing the horn helmet on his head to shake constantly. He was just a child of about ten years old, barely able to hold a spear and put on a helmet. He had no training in martial arts at all, and he didn't have enough strength, but he could help guard the gates.

"Your Lordship...... You're back!" The child's face was happy: "I have been standing guard very hard, and I have not been lazy for a moment!"

Siegel smiled, took out an opal from the space bag and put it in the palm of his hand, and said, "Keep up the good work, this is my reward for you." ”

After receiving the reward, the child was also encouraged, so he boldly said, "Lord Lord, Lord Mana Knight is resting not far away, do you want me to call her for you?"

"Let her come along, I'll wait for you here," Siegel replied, "Go and come back quickly." ”

The female shooter looked tired, but there was uncontrollable excitement in her eyes when she saw Siegel. For a moment, Siegel seemed to see the tears in her eyes. "I'm back," Siegel said, "and I won't let you fight alone." ”

"No, my lord, we've been together. Manna smiled palely, "Everyone fought side by side from the beginning and then took turns to rest. I just came down to sleep for a while, with Leah leading the archers and Hum leading the defense of the walls. ”

"Tell me what happened as you walked with me. ”

"The lords of the south suddenly rallied and declared war on us. By the time the letter of declaration of war reached the castle, the army was already halfway there. Lady Janet had no choice but to make all the inhabitants of the territory urgently retreat to the castle to hide in case of war. ”

"The siege has been going on for five days, and three days ago they began a non-stop offensive to use the tactics of the exhausted army to drag us down. So far, with the help of the runes on the city walls and the elemental warriors of the territory, the situation has been able to remain stalemate for the time being, but in terms of combat readiness, the other side still has a clear advantage. ”

"Because we are surrounded by layers and there is no news from the outside now, it is not known who planned this attack. Manna said.

The two men walked up the stairs, and everyone got out of the way and saluted Siegel. Some people sang the ballad of "One Day War", and then everyone who heard it sang along. This is their desire to end the war one day.

This is the first time Siegel has heard this song, and I have to say that some of the passages are still quite catchy. But behind this light-hearted and enjoyable piece of music is a heavy responsibility and hope.

He followed Manna to the courtyard, where he saw the orc Hum resting. He tied the wound on his leg with a bandage, then proudly stretched it out in front of Rhett the Golem. The clay giant swept over it with his large hands, shrouding the wound with a milky white light. Although it does not heal quickly, it can already speed up recovery and prevent infection.

Behind Hum, more than twenty orc warriors were healing each other. They washed the wounds with spirits and stitched them with long needles that had been burned by fire. Although it is behind the city walls, it is still in the middle of the battlefield, and arrows fall from the head from time to time. So the proposed hut was built out of wood in the courtyard to at least keep out the arrows.

On the ramparts, Siegel saw a gray-bearded dwarf standing on a chest, unbuttoning his pants and urinating outside the battlements. A few feathered arrows were fired, and his whole body armor was shattered, and the long urine line was not disturbed in the slightest. The dwarf laughed as if he had doused a fire with a waterfall.

Elf Lea was nowhere to be seen, but Siegel saw the familiar trail of feathered arrows—noticeably faster and more stealthy than the others'.

Now there are only about thirty warriors on the city wall, taking advantage of the gap between the previous wave of enemies going down and the next wave of enemies rotating to defend the battle line. Although they wore the same armor and held spears and were real people with blades, they were just militiamen. If it weren't for the war, they would have been working in the fields or busy in the craft shops.

The people who can get crossbows are brave and successful men who have already killed the enemy and are more stable than the others, so they will not accidentally injure their comrades in the panic. Siegel saw the deaf Deaver Dratt with his back against the battlements, methodically handing the parts of the crossbow to be cleaned and oiled to ensure that it was functioning properly. He was very lucky enough to shoot a knight from a distance with this weapon, just through the gap between his helmet and shoulder pads, killing him with one blow. Without this crossbow, you would have to fight with a spear - that would be too dangerous and difficult to achieve.

Each knight's head is worth three gold coins!, he thought happily. (To be continued......)
