Over the course of the next month, the trolls attacked the city eleven times, and in a few cases, the trolls had already captured about half of the city walls, and in the end, it was the Magic Guild that gathered all the magicians to cast group spells to defeat the trolls who almost made it to the city.

Xu Yue participated in the whole battle during the period, and the tragic battle and high mental tension made him in a tense state for a month. Fortunately, with the fifth-level protective magic that comes with the 'Ice Dragon's Breath' equipment, he finally didn't suffer any damage.

The fierce battle not only made Xu Yue's combat experience grow by leaps and bounds, but also made his temperament more calm after the tragic battlefield baptism. Now he has a faint sense of oppression on those veterans of a hundred battles, although he is still very immature, but this already means that he is no longer a rookie in battle.

In the most critical cases, Xu Yue rushed to the city wall six times in a day in a row to participate in the battle. Several of his magic shields were used up the last time he rushed up. That time he was literally fighting with a sky of bows and arrows and flying spears, and the feeling of being in the air of death made him feel as if he was going to hang up in the next second.

In the past month, Xu Yue has hidden his true strength, and in terms of fireball technique, he has never released sixty fireball techniques in a short period of time. After all, even if this number of spells was already very exaggerated for a first-level mage, if it was known that he could now release more than three hundred and sixty fireball spells in one go, I am afraid it would be impossible not to attract the attention of others.

Now Xu Yue is very good in battle, and has used his short and fierce fireball technique several times to solve the crisis situation in a part of the city wall, so he has gained a lot of fame in both the team of magicians and the city defense army, and people will show a look of respect and admiration when they mention 'humanoid artillery' Xu Yue.

For the 'humanoid artillery', I don't know who first won the title, Xu Yue felt unheard of when he first heard about it. However, this title was unanimously affirmed by all of his mage teammates and the city defense army, so he didn't even want to oppose it.

Moreover, because he can 'double cast', after compressing the casting time of the fireball technique to 0/1 second after thousands of times of releasing the fireball technique, his destructive power in a short period of time has risen to a point where even second-level mages are dumbfounded. The high-level leaders of the city defense army and the Magic Guild simply regarded him as a firefighting team, and whenever the siege battle encountered the most critical situation, he would rush to the city wall with some third-level mages to rescue.

However, this saved Xu Yue from the trouble of staying behind the battlefield all day long, after all, with the continuous casting and fighting, his spiritual power was close to the peak of the first-level mage, and he was about to reach the level of the second-level mage. But the trouble is that because he relied on drugs to improve his mental power twice in a row, his advancement was too fast, and the corresponding lack of knowledge was somewhat unable to keep up.

So during this period of time, he has been suppressing the growth of his mental power, and at the same time, as long as he has time, he goes to the library of the Magic Guild to desperately learn all kinds of knowledge necessary for advancement, that is, even sleep is only used to 'energy recovery elixir', such crazy learning has made his whole person lose weight, but his spirit has become more vigorous and restrained.

Today, after arranging the corresponding course for the little girl Ellie to learn magic in the inn, Xu Yue came to the city wall again.

After a month of fighting, the number of dead and wounded on the side of the city defense army also reached a staggering number. Even many corpses were placed on the edge of the city wall too late to be disposed of, and the screams of the wounded and the shouts of battle on the city wall filled the ears.

Many places on the city wall had been stained black and red with blood, and all kinds of broken weapons and limbs were scattered on the ground, and there was no time to clean them up.

The soldiers defending the city were exhausted by the long battle, and everywhere they could be seen sitting under the walls of some buildings with blood stains on their bodies, and many of them almost fell asleep in this noisy environment. Soon after, he would wake up again at the urging of the officer, and staggered up the city wall. A lot of people rushed up and didn't get down.

Xu Yue frowned when he saw the scene full of sorrow, and at the same time, he was secretly glad in his heart that he was a mage with high-end combat power in this battle. Although they always have to join the battle to put out fires when they are in danger, they will not risk their lives on the battlefield every day like these soldiers.

"We can't wait any longer for the kingdom to come to our rescue! we've lost forty percent of our soldiers in the past month, and if we continue to fight like this, even if the trolls don't take down the walls, we won't have enough soldiers to defend the walls. ”

"We're not the only ones who have losses, the trolls who are besieging the city have lost a lot more than us......!

When he was close to the command place of the city wall, Xu Yue could hear a burst of argument coming from there. It wasn't the first time he'd heard such an argument.

In fact, as soon as Black Rock City was attacked, the city lord of Black Rock City had already transmitted the situation here to the upper echelons of the Xia Kingdom through the special magic array of Guò, and when the war was tense later, he even sent out a model to the upper echelons of the Xia Kingdom for help.

After all, although Black Rock City is a large city with a population of three million, the level of combat professionals here is generally low due to geographical and resource limitations, and the standing army in the city is only 100,000. Although the number of trolls outside the city is unknown, the number of trolls who have already participated in the battle alone has reached almost 250,000.

With a nearly three-fold gap in strength, even if Black Rock City's side had the advantage of defending the city, the number of trolls themselves and their recovery physique wiped out this advantage, and even in the battle, Black Rock City's side was slightly at a disadvantage.

However, it wasn't just Black Rock City that was attacked by the trolls this time, according to news from the remote magic array. The four major cities of the Kalando province of the Sia Empire were attacked by trolls almost simultaneously.

These trolls, who usually hide in the depths of the jungle and almost live the life of tribal primitives, don't know what crazy this time, almost the trolls in the jungle of the entire Calando Province have united, and the crazy attackers are four cities. Even the envoys sent by the Kingdom of Xia to negotiate were cut off their heads by these barbarian fellows without hesitation, and obviously did not have any intention of accepting negotiations.

Of the four cities attacked, Black Rock City was actually the last in terms of importance, and the other cities either produced important mineral resources or were particularly economical cities. The Kingdom of Chia naturally prioritized these cities when sending troops.

As a result, the two armies sent by the Kingdom of Xia with a total of 300,000 people were entangled by the trolls of the other three cities, and as a result, none of the soldiers in Black Rock City, the most geographically remote city, could break through the troll's blockade line to support Black Rock City.

In the past few days, there have been two kinds of arguments in the upper echelons of Black Rock City, one is that they should stick to the wait for help, insist on waiting for the kingdom's support to arrive, and then fight inside and outside to deal with the trolls outside the city.

Another theory is that under the current circumstances, it is impossible for Black Rock City to hold out until the arrival of reinforcements from the Kingdom. Therefore, it is better to take a dangerous move, take advantage of the strength of a battle, concentrate troops to raid the opponent's logistics storage site, and directly destroy the opponent's grain, grass and logistics supplies. As long as there is no food and weapons, the trolls outside the city have no choice but to retreat.

As for how to find the troll's logistical supply location, it is important to know that it is not only the human mages of the Magic Guild who are obligated to participate in the race war, but also the human thieves of the Thieves Guild. After losing a large number of men in the past month, the Thieves' Guild has already figured out the location of the troll's logistical supply.

Now the upper echelons of Black Rock City are divided into two sides, and the two sides are constantly arguing, and the two sides are arguing over their own words. However, Xu Yue has an indifferent attitude towards this kind of quarrel, even if the city is broken, he can easily leave, the only trouble is how to send the little girl Ellie out of the city. However, he is already prepared for this, but it seems that there is no need to prepare for the worst for the time being.

When the two guards guarding the gate of the headquarters saw Xu Yue coming, their eyes immediately lit up, saluted him and said hello. During this period of time, the high-level leaders of the Magic Guild and the City Guard Army have used Xu Yue as a third-level combat power. He had been following the only six third-level mages in the Magic Guild.

Originally, there were quite a few complaints about a first-level mage like Xu Yue joining the ranks of their third-level mages, and the other six third-level mages were quite complaining, but after working together a few times and seeing Xu Yue's powerful short explosion, they didn't say anything anymore. Especially during this period of time, after Xu Yue repeatedly used the 'Ice Dragon Lance' spell attached to the 'Ice Dragon Breath' to kill several third-level troll shamans one after another, several third-level mages treated him much better, and it was obvious that he had been treated as a professional of the same class as himself.

Xu Yue smiled and nodded to the guards at the two gates, and then walked directly into the headquarters. Of course, he didn't have the right to participate in that kind of meeting attended by the upper echelons, but as a rare combat power that was equivalent to a third-level spellcaster, he could be regarded as standing in a relatively high-end position in this war. The other six third-level mages had a special room in the command room with him, and they would come here every day for a day to wait for the upper echelons to arrange for them to fight that day.

After pushing open the door, I saw that there were already three magicians sitting in the room at this time, and in the process of fighting together during this time, several of them had become very familiar.

"Mage Elliott, Mage 6 Seen, Mage Tereshi, three good. Haven't the others come over yet?" Xu Yue greeted the three mages politely.

The three magicians also stood up one after another and saluted back, "Master Xu Yue, hello!"

The mage named Elliott, who looked to be in his fifties and was slightly bald, said with a smile: "Casey has something to do today, so we can't delay it for the time being, drag us to bring the news to him." Mage Aldrich and Mage Nelson have been called in for this meeting! ”

After hearing his words, Xu Yue raised her eyebrows and asked, "Hmm, what's going on?" Aren't they usually discussed it, and then directly tell us the task?"

Master Tereshi, who looked to be only in his thirties and more energetic, shrugged his shoulders and said, "Who knows what those high-level officials are doing, they have been doing it for four or five days, and they haven't come up with a result yet. ”

The more silent and cautious 6 Master Sean turned the purple staff in his hand and said with some worry: "I have a bad premonition, I'm afraid this incident will be related to a few of us. Otherwise, they wouldn't have been able to call Aldrich and Nils in for so long. ”

Just as the four of them were talking, a fierce conversation suddenly came from the command room.

"No! We refuse this mortal mission! You are murdering!"

"Mage Aldrich, watch your words, this is not a consultation, it is an order!"

"Orders to go see your ghost! Only the upper echelons of the Magic Guild have the authority to give us orders. And even if they do, they can only let us help defend the city, this kind of bastard mission is beyond the scope of the guild's regulations, and we have the right to refuse to carry it out. ”

"Master Nelson, don't you want to persuade Master Aldrich?

"No! I refuse this mission. Neither the Magic Guild nor you in Black Rock City have the authority to give us such a mission, and if you have to, then we will announce our withdrawal from this siege. ”

"I think you should ask the other people before making a decision, right? After all, although the two of you have always been in the lead, you do not have full authority to represent the other people's opinions. ”

The sound of argument from the other side of the conference room made the four magicians in the room stunned, they couldn't think of what the high-level of Black Rock City said, and let the always steady mage Aldrich be so angry, even without giving the top level of Black Rock City the slightest face.

After another burst of argument in the conference room, then I saw that the door of the conference room was slammed open, and the white-haired Aldrich mage in his fifties walked out angrily, and after seeing Xu Yue and the other four people, he said with some anger: "Bad news, these bastards from Black Rock City want to use us as cannon fodder." Come in and listen to them. These bastards are literally murdering. ”

Xu Yue and the other three looked at each other in astonishment, then stood up together and walked behind Master Aldrich towards the conference room, and before they could enter the room, they saw a figure wearing a mage robe walking in from outside the door of the headquarters.

"President Pine, I didn't expect you to come!"

After seeing the person coming, Xu Yue and several other mages politely stepped forward to greet him.

The new mage is none other than Pine, the vice president of the Magic Guild, as the commander of the Magic Guild's magicians, he rarely participates in battles, and only a few times when he is most critical he has fought with Xu Yue and them. At that time, the thunder and lightning flying in the sky gave Xu Yue a clear understanding of the strength of this fourth-level mage in his heart.

Pine politely greeted Xu Yue and the others and said, "I heard that something went wrong here, so I rushed over on purpose." What the hell is going on?"

Aldrich snorted after hearing his words, "Those bastards in Black Rock City don't dare to fight on their own, so they want to use us as cannon fodder. I won't be able to finish talking for a while, you might as well go in and hear what those guys have to say!"

Pine nodded and walked into the conference room with Xu Yue and the others. The high-level officials of the Black Rock Formation all stood up and greeted Pine politely when they saw it, and it was obvious that the status of the Magic Guild was still very important in the hearts of these people.

Pine returned the salute one by one, sat down at the conference table, and said, "I came here after being notified by all of you. I heard something went wrong, what the hell is going on?"

Several high-ranking members of the Black Rock City military looked at each other and hesitated, and finally under the pressure of the others' gazes, a relatively young officer of the city guard stood up and explained.

"As I think you know, we've been arguing for a long time lately about whether to take the initiative or stay on the sidelines, but to no avail. ”

Pine listened and nodded, this question was originally a dilemma, because no matter which method was chosen, it was very dangerous, and it was very likely that he would be completely dragged down by the trolls in the end, and it was still unknown whether he could achieve his goal and withdraw the army intact after taking the initiative.

"So what?" asked Pyne, looking at the officer.

The officer was a little frightened by Pyne's gaze, and he swallowed a mouthful of spit before he said weakly, "So we discussed it and prepared to find a compromise." Let's see if we can get the third-level mages of the Magic Guild and a small number of warriors above the third level to form an elite squad, and use this elite squad to raid and burn the trolls' logistical supply points. Then we can guarantee victory in this war, whether we attack the trolls who are flustered by logistics or wait for help. ”

When Pyne heard what he said, his eyes narrowed, and two cold rays of light shot out of his eyes, causing the young officer to shrink his head and not dare to say anything more.

Pyne tapped on the armrest of his chair in silence and said, "Guys, I think you've got something wrong. The magicians of our Magic Guild do have an obligation to defend the city for their own race in a race war, but this obligation is limited to assisting the military in defending the city. For this kind of task of letting the guild's magicians take the initiative to attack, or even almost send them to death, the magic guild does not have any right to impose on the guild's mages, let alone others!"

In the face of Pine's tough words, the top management of Black Rock City were a little resentful, but due to the strength of the Magic Guild, several people didn't dare to say anything.

An old man who looked to be in his fifties and a little thin, with a gray head and a somewhat false smile on his face, said with a smile: "Hehe, isn't there no way out." Now the safety of millions of people in Black Rock City is counting on a few mages of the Magic Guild. If this mission can be completed, millions of people in the entire Black Rock City will be grateful to a few of them. ”

Aldrich said sarcastically, "Oh, grateful, I'm afraid you can only go to the cemetery to thank us? Besides, you want to beat us to do this kind of mortal mission with the gratitude of millions of people." Are you trying to insult our intelligence? What's the use of being grateful when people die? Can you eat it?"

The thin old man's face was a little embarrassed by Aldrich's sarcastic words, and he smiled reluctantly and said: "Isn't it all for our own race! At such a moment, each of us has the obligation to stand up and fight for our own race, and this task is not necessarily mortal. ”

Mage Nelson said with a somewhat mocking expression on the side, "Count Weimar, at this time you have remembered to let others fight for their race. What are you doing on your own? I remember that you yourself are also a fifth-level warrior, and as a high-level combat class, I haven't seen you rush up to the city wall once before when it was at its most critical. Why don't you fight for your race. Since you said that this battle is not necessarily certain death, then so be it. As long as you also participate in this operation, then I will participate immediately without saying a word, and how about we go together to attack the logistics of the trolls when the time comes?"

As soon as Earl Weimar heard Nelson's words, his face suddenly turned blue, he couldn't even maintain the smirk on his face, and reluctantly pulled the corners of his mouth and said: "How can this work, I am a commander, and my task is to command soldiers to fight instead of charging into battle." ”

"That's because you're afraid that charging into battle will cost you your life!" mage Aldrich said sarcastically. As he spoke, Aldrich's face darkened. At the same time, several commanders of the garrison army also felt a little embarrassed after seeing Count Weimar's appearance, and they all turned their heads with ugly faces.

Pyne had been watching the Black Rock City higher-ups and Aldridge argue with them, and after seeing that he had spoken to the people of Black Rock City speechless, he looked at the middle-aged man who had been sitting on the main seat opposite him and said, "Okay, Ralph, don't you think you should say something?"

Pyne's words fell silent on both sides, and they all looked at Ralph on the main seat, because everyone knew that as the commander-in-chief of the bureau and the only general in this battle, Ralph was the one who could make the final decision.

Ralph is a large, resolute-looking man with a strong face and a burly body, who not only has the bravery and fearlessness of a warrior's profession, but also has the calmness and wisdom of a commander.

He didn't pay attention to the eyes of the people around him, but sat up straight and said very simply: "The current situation has reached the point where it is not bad, in fact, whether it is holding or attacking, it is actually a dead end for Black Rock City. At present, the only way to survive is to organize small elite troops to raid the troll supply points. ”

His words lifted the spirits of the military's top brass, especially Count Weimar glanced at the magicians with a somewhat smug smile.

The corners of Pine's mouth curled slightly, and he said, "What does this have to do with the magicians of our Magic Guild." We are only obligated to help defend the city. If we really can't hold it, as long as our magicians retreat to the magic guild, those trolls won't dare to attack the magic guild. Why should our magicians risk their lives to carry out such a mortal mission? ”

Pyne had a lot of confidence in saying this, and no one in the room thought he was wrong. With the power of the Magic Guild in the entire Talumia, even if the trolls really broke through Black Rock City, as long as Xu Yue and the others withdrew to the inside of the Magic Guild afterwards, the trolls would never dare to touch them in the slightest.

This is the prestige that the Magic Guild has exchanged for countless blood for thousands of years, and no force dares to violate the majesty of the Magic Guild. This is different from killing the magicians of the Magic Guild on the battlefield, when these magicians are on the side of the war, and even if they are killed, it is one of the rules of the battlefield, but once they are out of this war, then the Magic Guild will not allow anyone to be harmed within the guild. This may seem unreasonable, but the Magic Guild has the strength to be unreasonable.

Ralph waved his hand and said, "I don't want to say all that. I didn't expect a few big reasons to make a group of Level 3 mages risk their lives to perform this kind of task. ”

Speaking of this, he glanced at Count Weimar with a smug look next to him, and the other party's face turned pale by his cold gaze, and he immediately shrunk his neck and nestled honestly in the chair.

"This time, I will offer a high enough condition to a few third-level mages, if any of you are willing to participate in this mission, the reward will definitely be satisfactory to you, this is what we can give this time, you can take a look. After Ralph finished speaking, he handed a scroll to Xu Yue and the others.

After Xu Yue and the others glanced at each other in some surprise, they didn't say anything in the end, and Master Aldrich stepped forward and opened the scroll in front of the other six people after it came back. The dazzling items listed above suddenly dazzled the eyes of several people.

Suddenly, Xu Yue stared at an item on the scroll, and a gleam appeared in his eyes.
