Recently, I was able to change it in time, but I always felt like the quality was a little problematic...... Psychological effects?
――
Burn it?
For a moment, the civilians didn't even realize the meaning of this word, and just stared blankly at the people in the robes. (The fastest update speed is on the Aishang Novel Network biquge.info)
Until one of the guys let out a scream that was like a woman's.
The scream was like a key that opened the locks of everyone's mind, and the crowd finally understood the meaning of the shout...... Surprise, roaring, questioning, erupting into a terrible cacophony, unconsciously screaming, squirming, trying to find a plausible explanation, an answer, or just trying to get out of here......
Burn the ...... If an ordinary person says that he wants to burn down a city, everyone will just think that he is crazy or drunk and ignore it. But now the guy who said this was dressed in a robe and holding a staff - yes, if a mage said that he was going to burn down a place, it was no joke, they even needed a few strange gestures to ignite a ruining flame, and with a single gesture, they could destroy all the qiē.
"Quiet, dead to the trespassers!" the voice roared violently, and thunder suppressed all the noise!
And it wasn't a verbal threat—the black-robed man raised his palm, and a house in the corner of the square exploded! Rubble, wood, and other debris crackled and scattered like rain, causing another scream from the crowd.
But everyone subconsciously stopped and didn't dare to leave.
Even children know the power of magic, and those killed by magic often can't even find their bodies. No one wants to actually try whether this kind of thing is rumored or true......
"Of course, I'm just saying burn down here, but you don't need to stay here and live with it. ”
The black-robed man spoke unhurriedly, as if he had said it again, but it was nothing more than a small matter such as cleaning or repairing: "Among you, all the craftsmen. There is an opportunity, including blacksmiths, carpenters. Masons, brewers, anyone with a skill, stand up for me. Take your family and go to the open space over there! After that, I'll take you to a new place and a new life! If you don't want to go, of course. But stay here, but if anyone dares to lie and doesn't have the ability to run around, then you will know what the consequences will be. ”
What will be the consequences?
Actually, people don't need to guess...... The man standing behind the black-robed man let out a long and strange chant, and the moment the chant ended. The earth shook violently!
The sudden shiver makes people dizzy. The crumble of the gravel crackled and danced on the ground, as if some living creature was waking up and trying to turn over! This low sound was like a muffled thunder in the blink of an eye, and the tremor slowly stopped. In the distance, the wall facing north collapsed with a rumbling roar!
So it was originally crowded. The crowd trying to move quieted down a bit...... Some idlers and scoundrels looked at each other, and finally gave up the idea of fishing in troubled waters. There are even some people who have the craft and stop with it...... But even so, many of the craftsmen in the city began to move, and they ran and stood in the corners of the square, and soon more than a thousand people gathered.
"Very good, as for the rest of the ......"
The black-robed man's gaze swept over the crowd that was divided into two sides, and then stretched out his hand and pointed at the collapsed wall: "Rest of you, don't be afraid, I'll give you an hourglass time, go back to your home, take all your possessions, and leave here from there, remember, an hourglass time, after that, I will start to light this place with flames." If you're slow, live and die with the city here. ”
For a while, no one moved.
This terrible news left these poor civilians at a loss, who had lived in this city, on this land, for generations, and how did they survive? Where could they go without this? For a moment, the civilians looked at each other, fell silent, and finally burst into a wail...... They seem to have found no better way to express themselves than to cry.
On the high platform, in the shadow of the hood of the black burqa, the silver streamer moved slightly.
"Let's go! What's the big deal! I don't have to pay taxes! Which of the lords in the east doesn't collect less taxes than the Blackhawks? The boss is a living man, and he has hands and feet, so he doesn't believe that he can't live!"
In the crowd, a big man shook violently, and then let out a loud shout.
Man is sometimes such a strange animal that needs someone else to make decisions for him. And after the decision, some things seem to be so simple.
There's nothing wrong with leaving here - Lord Siegel's terrible conquest has left most of the civilians destitute, and staying here will eventually lead to the fate of gradually becoming left with nothing and eventually starving to death on the streets. And more importantly, in normal times, there are already a large number of people who try to escape from here, and the lord's army will still guard this place, but now it is forcibly dispersed, which is not a bad ...... No, it's an opportunity to find something new.
"Very well, I don't want you to have nothing, therefore, as compensation, every civilian, adult and child, I will give you two gold coins as the cost of your journey, so that you can leave here and go somewhere else to earn a living. ”
This time, everyone almost didn't believe their ears! In this territory, there are actually few rich people, and if there is, then they have a lot of friendship with the lord, otherwise, no one can escape the twice-a-year tax collection campaign of those city guards like wolves and tigers.
Their furniture has long been looted, and they can only guarantee a minimum standard of living. A month's living expenses are just a few silver coins.
And now, someone actually said that they wanted to give them gold coins?
And the poorest are undoubtedly the fastest-moving, and most of them have lost everything they have, begging for death...... And such a great fortune was smashed down like this, and the compensation of three or four, or even a dozen gold coins, even if it was to live in another city. It's more than enough to rebuild some houses!
So there was a small cheer from the crowd. They were crowded and began to prepare to go back to pack their belongings, and some were not even interested in going to their own shack to collect any more possessions, calling each other to their relatives. Then he ran towards the place where the wall had fallen!
At the exit of the square, more than 100 heavily armed men stood expressionlessly, the reflection of armor and metal. The civilians who passed by involuntarily slowed down, but when they passed by those people, the big men had already grabbed the yellow and clear gold coins from the box behind them and stuffed them into their hands.
No one dared to try to question anything, the yellow and clear light, the texture of the tooth marks that could appear with a bite, was enough for them to suppress all doubts, even all fears. Instead, rejoice. Run out behind the crumbling walls.
It wasn't until the city grew smaller behind them that they remembered what the big men had said when they seemed to be stuffing them with gold coins......
What is it?
Oh, by the way, they said, "Run along the road to the east." Just run a hundred miles to the city of Burgundy. The lord will also give you food, and gold! It's Burgundy!"
And on the high platform in the distance, the eyes of the black-robed figure have been watching this qiē.
After a long time, he withdrew his gaze. In the shadow of the hood, the corners of the pale mouth outline a wondrous smile. "Well, it seems that it is smoother than expected...... I didn't expect this idiot to be so cooperative. Empty the nest ......"
"Then, I'll leave the rest to a few masters, burn this place, it's up to you whether it's a fireball or a cloud incineration, but remember not to leave him a piece of wood that he can use!"
After a pause, he turned his head and instructed the people behind him: "Oh, then, I have to bother you to find a way to send them back to my territory, of course, teleportation is the best, otherwise, let them follow our people back." Although that may take a little longer. Well, so be it, it's best to send me all the people who can go out of this city, of course, those who stay nearby don't care, they must be from the Blackhawk family. ”
"What about you?" with whom he was behind,
"Me?" the young man in the black robe tugged at his hood: "I'm going to collect some loot now, well, I guess the fight has already started on the side of the family...... Hehe, hurry up and collect it, I have to go back quickly. ”
"Really...... Greedy. ”
When the figure disappeared into a ripple of air, the mage who followed him raised his face, and his old face was full of incredulity, "Even the people are not spared...... This guy ......," he muttered, and a few people around him nodded approvingly.
In short, it's best not to go against this guy, otherwise, I'm afraid I won't even be able to guarantee the last face.
Several old men looked at each other, and they all saw such a meaning in each other's eyes.
Then, the blazing fire began to rise in the city, and the burning clouds pushed by the wind-making spell were like monsters devouring a qiē! The billowing smoke of the wooden houses gathered into a huge column of smoke, as the last trace of Sigma City, in the clear summer sky, outlining an ugly black that was enough to be clearly visible for hundreds of miles!
......
Billowing black smoke filled the air.
Motu glared in disbelief as his gaze swept across a messy battlefield...... Howls, wails, roars, and other strange sounds crept into his ears like living creatures, piercing his eardrums with pain, and the dust was blown into his helmet by the sudden wind, into his mouth, into the corners of his eyes, and in pain like pins
But he didn't realize it, just stared blankly at the scene in front of him, incredulously, recalling in his mind what had just happened.
The soldiers are charging...... The mage's help finally arrived, and the air churned and swirled, erecting invisible walls that cut off the terrible arrows in the sky. And the morale of the soldiers who received this aid was even higher, and they bravely rushed under the city wall and tried to erect the ladder in their hands.
And then what? What happened
It's an explosion.
At that moment, there was a sudden explosion on the ground! No, not one, but one after another, huge fireballs rose up on the ground, and the orange firelight flickered and expanded, exploding...... Right in the midst of the phalanx of charging soldiers!
Pieces of iron, stones, and even gravel flew outwards under the tremendous propulsion given by the expanding fire. Raging in this phalanx of professional soldiers, tearing open the curtain with a terrible scream, piercing through the breastplate, and brutally dismantling the **. The body, which was still full of life just now, was soon covered with huge blood caverns of corpses, and some of them were even broken down in the middle of this fire ball, turning into scattered flesh and flying into the air!
This terrible explosion made the soldiers stop. They watched in disbelief at the scattered comrades who flew up, letting the sand and flesh pour down their heads, and no one remembered to attack, or even to flee!
What kind of power is this?
I don't know.
But the mystery and the unknown are the biggest source of fear. These soldiers, who had never even seen magic, had only charged with the blood of divine magic, but when the flesh and blood were scattered all over the sky, they could no longer resist the erosion of fear that had just surged up in their hearts.
What's more, it was the elite of their elite who were drowned out by fireballs and smoke in an instant. Siegel's only infantry corps! They were well-armed and well-trained. It was the elite who had really been trained by the Blackhawk family, but now, it had turned into a puddle of minced flesh - even though the magic blessed on the body had not completely disappeared, the flying blood light had completely destroyed the spirits of all the soldiers, not to mention, what they were facing. Or the crossbow arrows that rained down, chasing souls and killing people!
One by one, human figures. Falling beside them, blood gushing out of them. Mixed with the smell of earth and sweat into a strange smell, cold, rancid, like death burrowed into everyone's body, leaving their muscles stiff and overwhelmed!
"Uh......h Woo!"
The long, mournful voice woke everyone up, and the sound of the trumpet, one long and one short, meant ...... Salvation has finally come.
The horn of retreat! This is the clarion call of retreat! The soldiers, who could no longer face this qiē, finally seized a glimmer of life, and they scrambled to turn around and flee, fleeing from the city, escaping a mile of the battlefield, and even passing through the barracks, almost breaking up the warlords!
When the last soldier also rushed out of the range of the opponent's arrows, Motu breathed a sigh of relief, but before he could catch his breath a second time, a terrible voice sounded behind him!
"What the hell is going on!"
He turned his head and noticed that Siegel Blayhawk's distorted, even wolf-like fanged face was right in front of him, as if he was going to bite his neck with the next bite: "What the hell is going on! Motu, tell me clearly! What the hell are you doing!
Losing Sancheng Elite, the mood of this young lord, Motu is not incomprehensible, but this scolding ignites the torch in his heart like a fire,
"With all due respect, my lord, I have the same question to ask!" Motu began. There was some sinister, suppressed anger in his voice:
"What the hell are you doing, Master, when my men start to charge, what about your mage's spell suppression? When those fireballs explode in the crowd, your spells counteract? Last but not least, I want to ask, they have set up magic explosions on the battlefield! And you didn't tell us anything, just let our soldiers rush over like this!"
"Nothing, my soldiers are using their lives to cast spells for you to gain a head start, and you are wasting soldiers' lives? What the hell are you doing?"
"I'm sorry, but ...... We've done the magic of detection, but there's not a single fluctuation of magic there!"
The mage's words made the knight explode violently!
He drew his sword with a thud!"What does that mean! You mean, that kind of explosion is not caused by magic? So what are you going to tell me clearly about what kind of thing can make a kind of explosion! You shouldn't be blind and you should be able to see it clearly, right? What are those? You sue me! One of my squadrons is gone! Dead! God of War is above, you dare to say it again, swear to the souls of us boys, you don't know what it is? Do you want me to bring back the bodies of the soldiers who were blown up and show you how they died?"
"Your Excellency, Your Majesty......"
"Damn, what's wrong again!?"
Motu roared, startling the young man who had rushed in a hurry. In a panic, he knocked over a fight, and the chaotic sound of crackling made Motu's heart extremely disgusted, "Do you bastard want to rebel?!"
The knight boy was almost stunned, he had never seen his regimental commander have such a big temper, and his bloodshot eyes seemed to be ready to devour someone! So even though he had gone through the full knightly training, he couldn't help but scream half-loudly...... It took almost all of his willpower before he pressed the second half of his screams back down his throat.
"Castle City City ...... City walls, city walls...... They, their people came out......"
"Bastard!" Motu's hand tightening his grip on the sword, and it took a lot of effort to suppress the urge to slash the idiot with a sword: "Say it's important!"
"Yes, yes, yes...... No, it's not their people, they're shouting, let our soldiers surrender!" The knight's boy trembled, and his voice was shrill like a young girl surrounded by four big men: "They said, our ...... Our ......"
"What of ours?" asked Motu.
But he didn't wait for an answer—there were already some voices in the wind.
"Son, surrender quickly...... Don't fight anymore! you're going to die......"
"Brother, run away, we're here...... Our city has been breached! Surrender quickly......"
Motu turned his head in disbelief, and noticed that the city wall was already crowded with people, men, women, old and young...... They waved their arms and shouted. And when his vision gradually cleared up enough to make out the faces, Motu's eyes almost bulged out of their sockets!
You can't be wrong, that's ...... That's the people in Sigmar City!
This terrible realization made the old knight stunned for a while, and then he slowly turned his head, and through the crack in the tent, he saw the black smoke and dust that pierced the sky!
Without looking closely, he already knew ...... Or guess what the place where the pillar of smoke lit is!
"I got some civilians to shout and try to break my morale?" "Siegel Blayhawk sneered and said, "Trebuchet, send them back to me!" I want to ......."
But that's all there is to his calmness.
Noticing the unusual expression of his knight captain, he turned his head in confusion, and then ...... He jerked back and stared at the black figure on the tower, and it was a long time before a sharp, inhuman howl came out of his throat!
"Kill him! Send me giants! Smash the damned walls for me! Kill these people! Kill all the people! I will make them pay back with blood, pay back my city !!! (to be continued......)
