From the burning of the magic tower to the formation of a volcanic lava debris flow that rushed in all directions, it was not even a minute, such a short time was not enough for Hoffman to command an army of more than 10,000 people to evacuate, so he could only try his best to defend, and then watched the entire army be swallowed by the scorching lava debris flow!

The tens of thousands of tons of lava debris flow was a severe test for the defense of the army, and the relatively weak point of Yixin Yu was broken in the moment it was swallowed, and the exposed soldiers would be charred by the scorching lime in a matter of seconds, and then shattered by the scattered rubble, and the bones were gone!

What's even more severe is that sometimes even if the defense is not broken, but there is only a slight negligence and a loophole, the oxygen in the defense will be quickly evacuated, and even those who can withstand the high temperature and the impact of gravel will be suffocated to death.

Although there was darkness inside the lava rubble flow, Hoffmann was still able to vaguely see the surrounding scene with some magic methods, and the tragic death of a large number of soldiers made his heart bleed, and his heart panicked for a while, and he hurriedly ordered the magician to use wind magic to blow away the smoke.

The mages in the army are at the core of the defense, but there are no casualties, as soon as they hear Hoffman's order, the wind mages immediately cast their magic, and the mages of other factions also activate their own wind scrolls - the scrolls commonly used in this kind of warfare will be distributed by the mages who participate in the war.

However, when the wind magic stirred up, blocking out the scorching lime smoke and rubble, Hoffman, who had calmed down, realized that he had made a serious mistake.

The lava debris flow is very heavy, if he keeps calm and waits, it won't take a minute, these lime and rubble will be deposited, and then he will be able to save most of his troops.

However, at this time, the stop was over, and Moeller, who was commanding from a distance, would not let go of the enemy's stupid mistakes, and after the appearance of wind magic, the sound of countless magic cannons firing sounded.

Before, it was Hoffman who commanded a hundred bullnose cannons to bombard Star Wolf Mountain, but now the feng shui is turning, and the Hoffman army trapped in the lava rubble flow can only be beaten passively, being hit by countless magic cannonballs, violent explosions and raging flames tore through the already devastated defenses, and a large number of soldiers died in the explosion before they could react.

As if falling into purgatory, waiting for tens of seconds in unbearable torture, the surrounding lava and debris flow finally settled, although the black smoke did not completely disperse, but he could barely see the road, Hoffman immediately led the remnants of the army to flee outward.

The lava debris flow spread to a range of more than 3,000 meters under Star Wolf Mountain, and if Hoffman's army wanted to escape, it only needed to cross a distance of more than 1,000 meters, but at this distance of more than 1,000 meters, many soldiers were suffocated by the thin air around them, or they inhaled too much black smoke during the run and fell into a coma, and finally succeeded in escaping with Hoffman, only less than 3,000 people!

The nine-headed monitor lizard was too large and was greeted by the enemy's artillery fire, and all of them died, and most of the 100 bullnose cannons were lost.

With a whole five corps and an army of more than 16,000 people, Hoffman, who was full of ambition and ready to show his strength, looked at the only remaining remnants behind him at this time, as if he had been stabbed in the heart countless times, he really had no shame to see his teacher, Marshal Barrymore, if it wasn't for the anger and unwilling support, he would almost kill himself with a knife!

After Hoffman escaped with the remnants of the army, the follow-up attack of the Nia Kingdom came, and it was still the bombardment of magic cannons, and the grieving Hoffman relied on the strength of the 8th-order demon warrior to smash several cannonballs in the air dozens of meters away.

But the smashed bomb still exploded, but it was not the flames that exploded, but countless bursts of ice chips, many soldiers were injured by the ice chips, and some unlucky ones were shot to death, but the most important thing is that the temperature around them dropped rapidly by more than ten degrees, and there was a smell of potions in the air.

Hoffman was taken aback, and quickly ordered all the soldiers to cover their mouths and noses with their sleeves, and at the same time asked the magician to intervene to intercept the approach of the cannonballs.

The fiasco in the first battle of Star Wolf Mountain shocked the entire Tibarabi army, and nearly one-third of the troops were almost wiped out! No one could accept such a loss, and the generals and soldiers did not believe that the originally vulnerable Nia Kingdom would suddenly become a man-eating monster, so the eyes that looked at Hoffman became disdainful -- what a military genius, he had never fought before, and as soon as he arrived on the battlefield, he exposed his waste nature, and more than 10,000 soldiers were killed by him!

Even Field Marshal Barrymore, who was Hoffman's teacher, was questioned, and it was rumored that Hoffman was actually his illegitimate son, which is why he was so used so heavily - it was against common sense to have a man with no experience in leading troops as the main general to lead five corps into battle.

This filial complainer has selectively forgotten that when Hoffman showed great military talent before, and even when His Majesty the King praised him, they also said a lot of compliments, and when Marshal Barrymore sent Hoffman to send troops, they also took it for granted!

Looking at Hoffman, who was kneeling in front of him, his face was like ashes, Marshal Barrymore did not say a word to his disciple, but only inquired in detail about the course of that battle.

Hoffman had nothing to hide, and gave a detailed account of the entire battle, including his own bad decisions.

After hearing this, Barrymore was silent for a moment and said, "Go down, the three thousand soldiers you brought back must be quarantined - including yourself, and let the potions master keep a close check to make sure they don't. [,!] Bring back the terrible plague."

Hoffman clenched his fists and tried to say something, but finally found that he had nothing to say, so he took the order and left in shame.

After Hoffman left, Barrymore said to the other generals with different expressions with a solemn face: "It seems that we have encountered a very difficult opponent!

Under the order of the marshal, Tibarabi's ten major corps, nearly 30,000 troops, led by two magic airships in the air, advanced towards Star Wolf Mountain.

Before the arrival of the army, an aerial reconnaissance unit in a magic airship first found out the situation, and then the magic images reported back showed that the top of Star Wolf Mountain, which had obviously just experienced an explosion, had once again erected a steel fortress more than fifty meters high, and the translucent cyan shield made it impossible to see through.

"Prepare for the long-range attack of the magic crystal cannon!" Marshal Barrymore immediately decided that the magic crystal cannon loaded on the magic airship could attack long-range targets dozens of miles away, and he wanted to use this to probe the opponent's virtual reality first.

The two magic airships shot out three pillars of light respectively, and the front end of the pillar of light was a magic cannonball wrapped in a strong light, the cost of a single of these magic cannonballs exceeded eight thousand gold coins, and the power of the explosion was naturally very terrifying, as long as more than two consecutive hits, it could easily break through the defense of the general 9th-order guardian magic array.

Six magic cannonballs flew at high speed, and after more than a minute, they crossed a distance of dozens of miles and hit the steel fortress in Star Wolf Mountain.

Through the magic image, Barrymore saw that six rays of light quickly shot out from inside the steel fortress, accurately intercepting the long-range attack in the air, and the magic cannonball exploded in the air, without hurting the steel fortress in the slightest.

Barrymore is not surprised by this, long-range attacks are the easiest to intercept, as long as the opponent has the same level of attack ability, his wave of attacks is just to test its strength.

"Cavalry, the Warcraft Legion is the vanguard, the artillery is in the center, the infantry is followed, and the magic airship is in formation!"

Barrymore's best is the old and serious style of play, since the opponent's strength is not weak and resourceful, he will not give up his strong advantage to play tricks, and just crush the past steadily!

"Marshal!" At this moment, a middle-aged magician suddenly walked over quickly and reported, "There is an abnormally large magic fluctuation in the air!"

"What! can you predict the type?"

"...... It's supposed to be weather magic, I'm afraid the rain is coming!"

Marshal Barrymore, who got this answer, frowned, the meteorological magic that can cause a bad climate, in addition to the master-level magicians who have the ability to cast it, below the master level, at least three or more ninth-order magicians must work together, and then cooperate with the corresponding large-scale magic array, to be able to activate.

Of course, Barrymore didn't believe that there would be a master magician in the Nia Kingdom, which should be a magic array prepared in advance, or a large number of scrolls.

If it was only speculation before, then now Barrymore is already sure that the Nia Kingdom has been planning for this war for a long time!

"Could it be that the kingdom of ** is making trouble behind it? or is it the Rose family of Riestin?" Not thinking that the Nia Kingdom itself would have such great ability and courage, Marshal Barrymore couldn't help but think of the other two great powers that might make a move.

However, at this time, what to think about was already over, the meteorological magic had been formed, the weather that was originally just cloudy suddenly changed color, dark clouds quickly gathered in the sky, lightning continued to erupt in the clouds, and the rumbling thunder alarmed the entire army.

Barrymore immediately ordered the two magic airships to lower their altitude, turn on the lightning protection defense, and at the same time enter the highest state of alert - the other party spent a huge amount of money to cast meteorological magic, nothing more than to deal with their air power, mainly these two powerful magic airships.

However, after the magic airship lowered its altitude, there were suddenly more than a dozen locations on the ground, and a person came out of the ground.

"Huh?" Barrymore was not in a hurry, and ordered two magic airships to bombard ground targets, but he was also a little surprised, because being able to instantly release such a volume of giant crossbows from the magic bag showed that these dozen people were all high-level strength, and he didn't expect that there would be so many high-level powerhouses in the Nia Kingdom, and they could also be used to carry out dangerous plans against magic airships.

However, the first wave of attacks against the two magic airships was not these giant crossbows that suddenly appeared, but somewhere where the army was unaware, hundreds of arrows suddenly shot out, and they hit the magic airships in the air as fast as lightning.

Compared to the sheer size of the magic airship, these arrows were as small as stabbing a dragon with a toothpick, and even with hundreds of attacks, they seemed insignificant.

However, the result was unexpected, these arrows ignored the powerful defenses of the magic airship, and easily plunged into the magic airship like a fish diving into the water.
