Volume 1 Threesome Chapter 45 One Man One Day One City
Did Midi really do nothing in the first two days?
Of course not.
It's just that from the perspective of Lancet, from the point of view of military strategy, there may indeed be nothing to attract attention to the arrangements and moves. However, for the past two days, Midico has been preparing for a decisive attack, and his killer features are Fina Hamilton and Alice Outelobos.
With Fort Joseph as the center, the Fog Witch explored the surrounding area for hundreds of kilometers in the past two days, picked out all the demon veins in it, and set up a diversion circle, concentrating all the magic power in the entire area to the high ground where the military camp is located.
And Midi and Fina are not idle, the reborn Midi has insight beyond the times, and Fina has perfect control techniques as an elementalist, and the two worked together to draw a large circle composed of seventeen different parts in just two days, which can perfectly condense the magic and make it accept Fina's control.
In this way, the Witch of the Mist, the future Queen of Magic Bullets, and the three of Midi worked together to finally bring about the terrifying attack that is enough to shake the entire Duchy of Belmar today.
Previously, in the Yorkshire raid, although Fina also fired a magic bullet with a range of one and a half kilometers, it was far from terrifying in terms of power, and could only destroy those wooden guard towers, temporary checkpoints, or generate an explosive shock wave to kill and injure a dozen soldiers.
From the perspective of the big picture, it is more of a tactical containment and deterrence, but it is by no means a magic capable of effective mass destruction. Otherwise, how could General Red Fox have the courage to pull up an army of 4,000 and surround Fina's artillery head-on?
And in front of a castle built by a count's family over several generations, that kind of magic bullet is even more inadequate.
It is important to know that the bricks and tiles used to build the castle are not ordinary bricks and tiles, but have undergone a certain amount of treatment, which is not only extremely strong and not easy to break, but also has a certain resistance to magic. An attack that can make a big hole in the ground and hit the wall of a lord's castle may just shake off a few bricks.
But this time is different.
What was under Fina's feet was not a snake circle that could only draw a little more magic power from the air, but a real demon-sealing array that gathered all the magic vein power within a radius of hundreds of kilometers!
Ordinary elementalists simply can't control such a huge amount of power, not even a dozen elementalists.
But Fina could, the red-haired girl's petite body seemed to hide an infinite amount of power, and she easily suppressed the restless dragon in the Demon Sealing Array, and it was obvious that she still had some strength left.
As a result, the degree of compression, the speed of ejection, the accuracy, and the blasting effect of the magic bullet have all reached a level beyond imagination.
The first attack, without calibration and adjustment, directly shattered a large part of the city wall and shook the entire castle!
Judging from the results, it only takes about ten minutes to prepare the next magic bullet.
These ten minutes were not because Fina had to rest, but because the Demon Sealing Array was evacuated and she had to draw magic from the land again, so there was a gap.
One can imagine what kind of terrifying momentum Fina's attack would reach if the magic power was really unlimited.
But even with a ten-minute break, this firepower is sufficient.
"Where's the next shot?" said Fina, who moved her limbs after ten minutes, cleanly.
Without any hesitation, Midi directly stretched out his hand and pointed to the target: "The main entrance." ”
The red-haired girl didn't say a word, she directly condensed her magic power, and raised her hand to be another earth-shattering blow!
With a loud roar, a fire as bright as the sun burst out on the heavy steel gate of Fort Joseph. The high-speed flying projectile slammed into the metal, slowing down suddenly, and then beginning to deform.
If it were an ordinary magic bullet, it would probably explode immediately, and then the magic power would be evenly blasted out, but this special magic bullet made by Fina was different. Although it was completely deformed in the powerful impact, as if it had melted, the magic power contained in it did not burst, but with a thud, it pierced through the steel gate and turned into a hot jet of magical energy, shooting directly into the castle!
Although the speed of this jet of magical energy was greatly reduced compared to the initial attack, the momentum and the energy contained in it still caused a terrifying explosion in the castle.
When the smoke of the explosion cleared, the castle was in shambles, with dead and wounded everywhere.
On the steel gate, which could be supported for a long time even in the face of a battering ram, there was a large hole with a diameter of more than one meter, and the edge was still red due to the high temperature.
The whole Fort Joseph was silent.
There was no screaming, no crying, for everyone was stunned, from servants to nobles, from knights to veterans, everyone who witnessed the attack had a blank mind.
Even if it's a dragon's attack, I'm afraid it's just that, right?, but the army on the other side, the red-haired girl standing on the high ground, doesn't even seem to have reached level 30, so she just casually fights out like this?
And more than one shot?
Fear thus crept through the silence and was so deeply implanted in the heart that it could not be dispelled at all.
There is the fear of failure, the fear of death, the fear of the unknown and the mysterious, but the main thing is the fear of despair in the face of overwhelming power.
"General, please go into the city immediately to dodge, this attack ...... If you don't hide for a while, you won't be able to ......" The pale-faced adjutant finally remembered something, and quickly grabbed Ranster's arm and persuaded incoherently.
However, the veteran of the Joseph family shook his head bitterly and with difficulty.
The previous ambition was complacent, cautious, the overall situation was in control, calm and calm, etc...... Everything was shattered by this incomparable majesty.
What Lancet is thinking about now is only when the city will be broken, and how he, as the most loyal minister of the Quinine line, will face the end of the city break.
But Midi on the other side of the road certainly wouldn't wait for him to come up with a result.
Ten minutes passed, and the third bullet burst into the air, followed by the fourth, and then the fifth......
The steel gate had been completely destroyed, leaving only a large ugly hole, which made the entire Fort Josef look as if it had been knocked out of its front teeth, which was ridiculous.
Fort Joseph, which had been operating its defense for more than a hundred years, just collapsed in less than an hour.
However, in the face of the castle that had lost its defenses, the elves who had arranged the defensive formation did not take any action at all, and still stood firmly outside the range of the bed crossbow, as if they had come here not to fight, but only to put on such a fully armed posture.
It's a simple truth: if you can wipe out the enemy directly with a ranged attack, why bother waging a white-knuckle battle to lose your precious elven warriors?
Most generals would be overwhelmed when they see a castle that has lost its main entrance, but for Midi, who had already won numerous victories in his previous life, he was always very calm and always saw the best option.
It is not just for profit, but also for the lives of these elven warriors who go with him.
Like in the previous life, the practice of causing the Falcon to collapse at any cost in order to win, and finally causing the collapse of the Falcon Regiment, Midi will never do it again.
What is the difference between victory and defeat without the sharing of peers?
So, nothing changed, and Fina's magic bullet continued to hit the castle with a steady rhythm of ten minutes, blow after blow.
The powerful bed crossbows that were erected on the protruding towers were destroyed one after the other.
The catapults hidden behind the walls, along with the bunkers, were pierced and reduced to debris in the explosion.
The tower, which was garrisoned by a large number of roaming gunners, was hit at the base and collapsed, leaving a large cloud of dust with the falling tower.
If a castle is a war beast that devours flesh and life, then at this moment, under Fina's magic bullet, the carapace covering its body is constantly being shattered. Not only that, but its swinging tail has been cut off, its sharp limbs have been broken, and even its biting teeth have been ripped off one by one, and what remains at the bottom of it is just a torso that has no power to resist at all.
When the last arrow tower also collapsed, Joseph's defenders, who were cowering in the castle, finally reacted.
A group of knights stepped out of the ruined main gate, dressed in heavy armor and clumsy over the ruins, before raising a white flag.
Not a single arrow was fired, not a single bullet was fired, and the defenders of Fort Joseph surrendered.
Not a single one was damaged, and in one day, Midi had captured a castle.
"Although the other magic is well mastered, I must say that Miss Fina is the queen of magic bullets. Sigmund, who didn't have any chance to play from start to finish, couldn't help but sigh with emotion.
"Yes, Queen of Magic Bullets. Lillian on the side was also completely out of ideas, whether it was for the red-haired girl she had followed for many years, or for the dark-haired boy who came up with this attack.
"Queen of Magic Bullets...... What do you think of that title, Midi?" the red-haired girl asked, shaking her long hair coolly, turning around.
"Not bad. Midi nodded, and then glanced at the black-haired girl beside her who was still silent, "It's the opposite of the Witch of the Mist." ”
Just like in the previous life, Fina really got the title of Queen of Magic Bullets. From then on, Midi no longer had to call her the "future Queen of Magic Bullets" in her heart, but the Queen of Magic Bullets, the most powerful elementalist in the entire Duchy of Belmar who broke through a city with the power of one person.
As for Alice, she didn't seem to be surprised by Fina's destructive power, just shrugged her shoulders and stood up, signaling everyone to stop chatting and get down to business.
Knowing the attitude of the Witch of the Mist in every move, Midi nodded as well, and returned her gaze to the castle that was already riddled with holes.
"Let's go and meet Count Joseph. The black-haired boy said as he strode forward.
