Chapter 35: The Colossus I
"Place red sand steel in the northernmost circular sub-circle, followed by Mithril, and complete six closed loops along the lines of the circle...... And then ......"
Leah placed the red sand steel in the designated place, and the steel was made into the shape of wedges according to mysterious techniques, with intricate patterns drawn on them.
This huge project took a full night, but it was a dense forest, and it was late at night, and there were not even any scouts coming, which left Rowan and Alec at ease.
By dawn, the massive circle was almost complete.
"Finally here...... Yes, perfect!"
Isabella carefully buried the branches of the Ancient Tree of the Wind, which had been made into a humanoid puppet, into the center of the magic circle, and in an instant, the entire forest seemed to be shrouded in magic, the birds were startled, and the animals fled in all directions through the forest.
"Let's go, I want to see the Count Mokov before we make the official attack. ”
Isabella said to them, and at the same time, as if to confirm a movement in the forest, the bell of the castle rang in the distance.
Everyone walked on the way to the giant mountain city, Leah looked around, and found that a white mist rose between the forests, which was the magical mist that surrounded this area, and in the fog, the forest turned into a different world, as if something was sleeping here, and if you listened closely, you could hear the flow of blood and the excitement of your heart.
"Is this Isabella's magic? 】
Leah thought so.
Soon, they left the forest and came to the outer fortress of Giant Mountain City.
On the towering walls stood black-pressed soldiers. In comparison, the princess and the others seemed so insignificant.
"Welcome, Isabella. ”
Count Mokov was a man of emaciated build. He stood condescendingly on the city wall and said arrogantly.
"Watch your tone, Mokov, don't you know who is standing in front of you!?"
Karin stood up and shouted in the direction of the castle.
"Oh, disrespectful, of course I do. Yes, of course you know ......"
The other party apologized exaggeratedly, and then raised an eyebrow. With disdain in his voice, he said:
"Her Royal Highness, the former princess of the Randall Kingdom, is now a lost dog. ”
As if to say something funny, he raised his arms and incited the soldiers around him to laugh.
"Hah...... If that's what Germain tastes like when it comes to dogs. I'm starting to get disappointed in him. ”
Little Lori held her forehead with her hand and sighed. A well-educated nobleman should reciprocate the royal bloodline with respect in any case, both once and now.
"So, is that your choice, Mokov?"
Isabella didn't waver, she just asked calmly.
"Watch your tone! Randall's demise is only a matter of time, and according to the canons of the Holy Church of Salman, it is a pity that our Pope does not think that the Randall royal family is qualified to lead the people. You are no longer royalty!
If you're willing to give in, of course. I can still say a few kind words in front of His Majesty, King Germain, so that maybe you can become the king's woman, hahahahahaha!"
Probably because he realized that the people in the city were not any threat, Mokov tried his best to sarcastically and let out a wild laugh.
"Now, are you so happy to be a dog of the Holy Sect?"
The princess buried her expression in the shadow of the drifting sea, her tone still calm, but everyone behind her could hear what kind of emotion was contained in that voice.
"Well, I think I heard the screams of a defeated dog?"
Mokov frowned, and made an exaggerated gesture as if he hadn't heard clearly.
"I mean—does being a dog of the Holy Church make you so happy? Selling your own king, selling the glory and dignity of being a nobleman, you are not even as good as a dog when you grovel to the Pope of Salman like this!"
Finally, the princess's anger broke out, she loudly rebuked the other party for his treachery and accused Mokov of even throwing away his dignity as a human being.
"Hmph, whatever you want, I'll see if you can be so sharp-tongued. ”
The earl's face was flushed with anger, and with a wave of his hand, the city gate slowly opened, and a large number of cavalry rushed out of it. In his opinion, the other party's little troops are simply a joke, and instead of passive defense, it is better to take the initiative to capture the princess and hand it over to Germain.
"Well, since that's your decision, don't regret it. ”
The princess stared coldly at the enemy in the distance, then raised her staff.
After a complicated ritual, the first vision that ushered in was the shaking of the earth!
The cavalry charging at the princess could no longer maintain their speed, and the horses lost their balance and fled in fright.
"How...... What's going on!?"
Even Mokov, who was standing on the ramparts, stumbled and almost fell to the ground.
"Forest!! look at the forest !!"
Someone shouted and pointed to the forest not far away. There, people see that the earth is uplifting, and then ......
Boom - !!
A huge arm burst out of the ground, each finger as thick as a castle tower, and the trees turned into bones, wrapped in the red sand steel of earth to make muscles, Mithril flowed through them, transmitting the magic that burst from the depths of the hearth.
Roar - !!
A long, low roar sounded, and the Colossus raised his head, its huge eye sockets burning with magical flames, and its gaze was directed at the giant mountain city, which made people shudder.
Boom - !!
There was another loud bang, and with a doomsday shock, the Colossus stood up and began to move forward.
"That'...... That...... That...... What's that!?what's that!?"
Poor Count Mokov could not even speak, he refused to admit the strange situation before him, but the reality forced his nerves mercilessly—a giant made of earth and trees crossed the forest, the princess and others, and came to the cavalry outside the city.
The next scene was like a child trampling on an ant's nest, yes, the cavalry were like frightened ants, completely losing their formation, fleeing in all directions in a panic, but in the end, they were desperate to see the giant raise his feet, obscuring the sky and the sun, and then taking everything with them.
Boom - !!
After the dust fell, only a huge pool of blood was left on the ground.
"This can't be! This can't be! This can't be! Shoot the arrows! Throw the trebuchet! Where is the trebuchet!? Oh, yes, and the artillery!
The Count was completely panicked, and tried to resist as uselessly as he could.
The archer drew his bow, and the arrows rained down. The soldiers dragged huge catapults, set fire to the boulders tied with tarpaulins, and threw them into the air, and the cannons were carried to the city walls, and a series of roars were released, and all kinds of flying weapons swooped down on the giants like swarms of locusts!
