55: Ordered in danger

Outside the city of Linfeng, in the army of the steppe people.

Young Master Su Yi looked at the city wall and frowned deeply.

This morning, while half of the Knights' squad was heading to the Eastern Front to fight, he summoned all the steppe troops to break through the Western Front and go straight to the bottom of Linfeng City.

At the same time, Reiner also successfully assassinated the two generals of the defending army, destroyed all the city defense magic cannons, and paralyzed the defense force on the city wall in a short time.

Everything seems to be going smoothly as planned.

But then...... There is no then.

Just as Reiner was launching a rebellion, a figure suddenly fell from the sky, and she could fly in the sky at such a fast speed, her identity was about to come out-

It was the White Raven of Peak City.

As the white raven landed on the city wall, what happened above it after that, he could not observe it from outside the city.

He only knew that as time passed, the barrier circle on the city wall had not been broken, and the city gate had not been opened, and it seemed that Reiner's rebellion had been quickly suppressed.

"Young master!"

The report sent by the scout made his heart sink even more, "Several traces of the Knights of the Peak have been found outside the eastern city, and they have all returned to the city from the eastern front!"

A string of bad news made his brow furrow, and the Heavenly Father rode up to him and said in a deep voice, "What are you waiting for? ”

Reiner didn't destroy all of the city's defenses, and his plan to lure most of the Knights' forces out of the city failed, but even then they had to fight.

If the attack is stopped because the situation is out of control, and when Peak City rebuilds the city's defense magic cannon, Reiner's death will be meaningless.

The Lebs have waited for this moment for so many years, and today the steppe army is pouring out, and the arrow is ready to fly, and it has to be sent.

"I know."

Su Yi took a deep breath, and his eyes became fierce, "Let's start attacking the city." ”

With the loss of at least those five city defense cannons, Linfeng City's counterattack force has been weakened by half.

Even if the barrier circle still exists, it will only be a matter of time before it is broken as long as the attacks continue to be launched.

Once the "Sacred Barrier" has been breached, the steppe troops can use spells and siege weapons to forcibly blast open the city gates, or set up ladders to occupy the city walls, and engage in a hand-to-hand battle with the Linfeng army.

The quality of the individual soldiers of the steppe army is still stronger than that of the Linfeng army, as long as they can cross the city wall and start a white-knuckle battle, everything will be fine.

……

The siege had begun, and after laying out the defensive line on the city wall, Ryan temporarily entrusted the command of the scene to the second-in-command of the Knights, and then hurried to the garrison of the city.

According to an urgent message sent by Evelyn, an important guest was waiting for him at this time.

"Nolan Wiese."

Whispering the name, Ryan's eyes deepened.

He had met Nolan at the Battle Meeting, and the biggest impression Nolen had given him at that time was that he was young, younger than Evelyn.

Now that I think about it, he was the mysterious alchemist who had attached Yuna's legs, but compared to the powerful flying gear, the pair of puppet prosthetics seemed like nothing.

It's hard to imagine that such a young alchemist could create such a magical one-soldier flying equipment, so as to achieve the undefeated legend of "White Raven" as a city on the peak.

His alchemical talent was unparalleled, unheard of, and had even profoundly influenced the course of the war, which opened his eyes to the strategic possibilities of alchemy.

Now, with Evelyn's matchmaking, he wants to have a formal talk with Nolan and explore the path to victory in Peak City together.

Arriving at the garrison stronghold, Evelyn and Nolan were already waiting for him.

Ryan sat down across from them, first meeting with Evelyn about the Knights' return to the city, and then turning his attention to Noren.

"I've seen Yuna up there."

He smiled at Nolan, "She's one of my proudest students, and I thank you from the bottom of my heart for lifting her up from despair and giving her the courage to fight again." ”

He and Nolan have different backgrounds, different statuses, different classes, and different strengths, and if there is anything in common that can quickly bring the two closer together, it is Yuna.

Nolan was stunned for a moment, he didn't expect Ryan's first sentence to be this, and waved his hand: "She is very good, and it is also my luck to meet her." ”

Ryan bowed: "I'm very relieved, she has experienced too many misfortunes, and now she is back on the battlefield as a white raven, defending her home with her own hands, I think, this should also be her own wish."

"But Nolan, war is something much bigger, and for this decisive battle, both sides have invested all kinds of strategic-level magicians on the battlefield, as well as hundreds of high-level transcendentals.

"It's not enough to create a single white raven to turn the tide of the war, or rather, the current white raven can't do it."

He stared at the black-robed young man in front of him and asked seriously: "I have to admit that the combat power of our transcendents is indeed inferior to that of the opponent, and now all the city defense magic cannons have been destroyed by traitors, and the firepower to defend the city is seriously insufficient."

"Excuse me, from your perspective as an alchemist, can you give some advice to our army, or do us some favors to help our army defend the city walls and tide over the difficulties?"

As soon as these words came out, not only Ryan, but even Evelyn on the side looked at him expectantly.

For a long time, the history of human warfare has been the history of the war of the transcendent, and the quality and quantity of the transcendent on both sides of the war basically determine the direction of the war.

Although the strategic-level magic guide equipped with high-level spells also has a brilliant performance, it only plays the role of icing on the cake.

Because its target is too large, too conspicuous, too cumbersome, it is easy to be destroyed by the enemy, and it is generally cumbersome and expensive to maintain, so the amount of possession is not much.

However, the alchemical weapons made by Nolan are an exception.

The magic guide he made was small enough, and the manufacturing speed was also very fast, and the white raven had only appeared for half a month, and the equipment on her body was almost a generation.

If he can create a strategic-level magic guide for the army, he may really be able to see results and turn the tide of the war in a short period of time.

"Of course, I'm happy to help, if it's just to defend the walls, it's not difficult."

Nolan nodded, "The simplest, I can help you rebuild the city defense artillery, as long as the production capacity in the city can keep up, and the army wants a few, I will build you a few." ”

"How long will it take to rebuild one?" Ryan's eyes lit up.

He had just inspected the remains of the city defense magic cannon on the city wall, and although the overall shell structure was not damaged, the magic circle structure warehouse was completely destroyed.

Among them, the core "Sky Burning Flame" circle and the mana transmission pipeline on the side were basically completely destroyed.

Although he does not understand alchemy, he also knows basic common sense.

The "Heavenly Burning Flame" circle in the magic circle warehouse is a large magic circle with a diameter of seven meters, and it will take a few days to redraw this huge magic circle with a diameter of seven meters, not to mention the new magic power transmission pipeline for the time being, right?

Under normal circumstances, even if you mobilize the city's senior alchemists to help you paint, you can't complete the circle in a short time and rebuild the structure of the circle.

It's definitely too late in time.

But he believed that Nolan, who could build a single soldier flying equipment, was certainly not in the ordinary situation.

saw that Nolan just raised a finger: "One day." ”

β€œβ€¦β€¦ What? Ryan was taken aback.

Nolan said slowly: "Give me a day, and I can rebuild the city defense magic cannon, and this time the magic cannon will be smaller, more portable, and can be moved to the desired combat location at will." ”

In fact, because of the ability of the "projection" of the Book of All-Knowing, the most time-consuming step of "drawing a circle" to make a magic guide was equivalent to being skipped by him.

Therefore, he calculated the time it took for the craftsman to forge the parts and shells of the magician, not the time it took to draw the circle himself.

Forging shell parts is not a technical job, and if you gather the craftsmen of the whole city to work together, it is enough to make and assemble all the parts in a day, and then hand them over to him to engrave the circle.

When it comes to the industrial production of alchemy weapons, he is a never-tiring magic circle engraving machine, like a great sage who turns stones into gold, and can give souls to pieces of metal products with empty shells with just a stroke of his hand.

Just one day?

Ryan looked at Nolan in shock, even if he was well-informed and calm as him, he couldn't help but show an unbelievable expression at this time.

"I've created a new system of magic runes, in which the size of the circle will be greatly reduced, and the drawing speed will be very fast."

Nolan shrugged his shoulders, his tone as calm as if he were saying something sparsely ordinary.

Create a new rune system?

Hearing this, Ryan was a little incredulous on the one hand, and on the other hand, he suddenly felt that everything made sense.

If not, how did the White Raven's magical equipment come about?

Unable to be questioned, Nolan has already put the results of his experiments in front of everyone, and it has been proved that he does have this ability.

He was a true genius alchemist, and it was worth Peak City to bet his future on.

"I believe in you." Ryan quickly made a decision, he took off the badge on his chest symbolizing the head of the Knights, handed it to him, and said in a deep voice.

"Wear the badge I have given you, and from now on you will be my representative in the city, enjoying the same status and power as I have in the army.

"Do it, Nolan, and show me what you're capable of."

He was very interested to know what kind of miracle an alchemist who had created the "Legend of the White Raven" with his own hands would create this time?
