War is imminent.

Allegri stood on the Violet Tower, watching the knights of the "Golden Hibiscus" beat their horses and leave the valley. On their raised bayonets, a little cold light flickered.

The years of peace are gone. When King Nacini arrives on the battlefield, the north and the south will collide fiercely together, composing a bloody poem.

No one is immune to the wave of rage that swept across the continent. So Allegri hopes that Snowton can be the final victor, even if this victory will not bring him much benefit.

But in troubled times, isn't life the most valuable treasure?

"What are you thinking?" said Vilanoo's voice, coming from behind him. Over the course of more than a month, the two became quite familiar with each other due to their frequent discussions about magic. At the same time, the giant magic array that protects the "Path of the Light Seeker" has basically been set up. Under the condition that the magic circle is operating normally, even if the Holy See dispatches legendary powerhouses, it will not be able to destroy this mountain tunnel in a short time.

"Master, you didn't go to the front with the king?" Allegri said, turning, surprised.

"The king has come from a long journey, and he has to rest in the Green River Valley for a day or two," Bilanoo replied with a smile as he took a few steps forward, "and since I still have time to spare, I will come to say goodbye to you, and by the way, I will leave the diagram of the structure of the circle for your daily maintenance." ”

"The master has a heart. Allegri's heart swelled with a faint reluctance. This legendary master of magic is also a respected senior, a loving and generous elder.

"Have you recovered to the advanced level?" Starlight's faint eyes circled around him, and the old magician asked for a moment's notice, "When are you going to do it?" Activate this magic tower?"

"It's a seven-story tower after all, and I'm going to try it when I'm promoted to the top," Allegri patted his head and remembered another question, "That's right." Didn't you say before that there was a clue to the Tower of the Stars, and that there would be progress later?"

"Yes," Vilaneo did not hide even when it came to the Tower, "I've been looking for the Tower of the Stars, and now I'm a bit of an eyebrow, and if I can control it, I'll invite you to come and visit." ”

"Then I'll wait for good news. Allegri smiled and agreed.

"Remember. Have you researched the 'bomb' array?" Bilanoo took out a few more parchment rolls from his bosom and handed them over, "When setting up the magic array, the dwarven craftsmen in the river valley also used the 'bomb' array to blast, and I have to say that this has created a new idea of magic supplies......"

"What is this?" Allegri took the scroll of paper and glanced at it cursoryly. I found that it was the formation map I had drawn, but in the details. There seems to be traces of alteration.

"I've helped you improve it, the basic structure hasn't changed, but the efficiency of energy utilization has been improved, as well as the stability of the magic circle," the old magician rubbed his hands together and asked casually. "Do you have the idea of making this kind of thing in large quantities?"

"Make a bomb?" Deep down, Allegri was quite resistant to such weapons of mass destruction, and he always felt that it would be out of control. Bring endless destruction and carnage.

"The Imperial Iron Cavalry is invincible in the world when it fights in the open area, but it is not its forte to attack fortified cities," Villanoo said his thoughts, "If the Holy See of Light defends the city, we will have to pay a terrible price if we want to conquer the city...... But with this kind of 'bomb', the situation will be greatly improved. ”

"Uh-huh......" Allegri muttered.

"Besides, the only one in the entire continent that has the ability to mass-produce 'bombs' is the Herseus River Valley," Villanoo reminded, "If you can provide the Imperial army with such sharp siege weapons, it will be of great benefit to both public and private, at least no one will be able to replace you lightly." ”

"That's what the master said. Allegri nodded, and the old magician's last words made his heart flutter.

"Alright, I should go," Villanoo waved his hand, signaling that he didn't have to send him off, "I just said, you should think about it carefully, and if there are any difficult problems in the manufacturing process, you can write to me." ”

"Master, you go slowly. Allegri bowed, and he had to admit that Villanoo's offer was very tempting. Until then, he had been busy building up his army, making profits, and finding allies, but he had neglected the most important point.

A large number of magicians, magic apprentices, and magic craftsmen are the unique advantages of the Herseus Valley.

******

When King Nacini left the Green River Valley and headed for the Southern Front, Allegri finally decided to try to create a different type of "bomb".

This moment is destined to be remembered by history.

The fire magic with the "deflagration" characteristic, and the idea of munitions from the different planes, gave birth to powerful weapons that should not have been stored in this world.

In an effort to save costs, Allegri abandoned the reusable Mithril Array in favor of cheap cupronickel. Although the power has been reduced by 30%, its manufacturing cost has been reduced by 80%, which is within an acceptable range.

After many improvements by Villanoo and Allegri, the structure and shape of the circle were basically determined. Among them, the most commonly used "time bomb" array disc is about the size of an adult's palm, up to one inch thick, with thin edges and a slight convex middle, with an excitation time of three minutes and a left and right error of no more than ten seconds. Such a piece of metal that is not good-looking, but it can blast through the hard mountain beam in an instant, which is amazingly powerful.

These "time bombs" have become a regular tool in the valley when clearing the wilderness, and people have long been accustomed to the rumbling thunder from the west. But the transition from civilian to military is not a simple process. The storage of large quantities of "bombs" alone is a headache.

Led by Allegri, supplemented by Brooke and the dwarf Hoel, they gathered almost all the fire mages in the valley, as well as the craftsmen involved, and began a tireless study.

Production, storage, transportation, use, every link needs to be carefully considered, and Allegri is busy every day. But to be honest, he enjoys this lifestyle.

Before I knew it, the sixth month of the third year of the revival calendar passed quietly. At the junction of Ian and Anlan, 300,000 troops are waiting for war.

On the first day of July, the Snowton Lion King finally arrived on his battlefield.

The horns are excited, the war drums are beating, and the first protagonist of the "Battle of Kings" is blooming.
