The muffled sound of the horn spread throughout the camp like an invisible ripple, and the desolate voice seemed to have some kind of magic, making everyone turn their heads in the direction from which the sound came from.
"Hell!"
This was obviously not the long sound of the trumpet, which made Zaire's brow twist into a pimple at once, and his years of military experience made him immediately reflect what was happening. Not bothering to argue with the mages any more, he rushed out of the camp in three steps and two steps.
Zhang Huang's movement made the wound on his leg that had just stopped bleeding seem to burst again, and the pain made him grin - only now, that was no longer the point, he looked up into the distance, and at the end of his sight, the civilians who were originally farming on the hillside had begun to close towards the four city gates, and at the front of the camp, the gate was slowly closing!
This process did not seem to be fast, but when the knights of the Wolf Claw Regiment finally marched out and then marched under the city, after the time of two or three hourglass scales had passed, they were already facing a heavily defended Burgundy city with a drawbridge raised.
"Damn it, bastard, shit!" Zaire could only grit his teeth and let out a series of low curses as he stared at the blue-gray, silent towering walls and the dark, closed metal gates!
Although it is known as the wolf claw of the demon wolf, in fact, the knight order led by Zaire is only one of the four thousand people with this name, and the number of the demon wolf knight order is only one of the number - in number, there are only more than nine hundred and forty people, and the real knights are only three hundred and twenty-three, accounting for only one-third of the personnel. The rest of the acolytes and alternates have no mounts most of the time, and can only play cameos as archers and infantrymen.
Although the hundreds of knights were lined up in full armor, the special combination of double-layer chain mail and half-body armor, as well as wooden-barreled cavalry guns, gave them a unique imposing...... The sunset is gradually sinking, and the red and yellow light should be on that layer of smooth carapace. A crimson sheen, transparent and shiny, silent mounts and upside-down spears. The posture of preparing to charge made these more than 300 people seem to be able to defeat a thousand people, ten thousand people......
They are traveling thousands of miles across the land of the Empire. The elite of the rest of the war, such a momentum is a must.
It's a pity that in the face of the thirty-foot-high city wall, even if their momentum is ten times more elite, it can only be momentum...... Like spears and shields, water and fire, walls and knights, even the most elite of kingdoms have been restrained and restrained since ancient times...... No, even the legendary Earth Dragon Knights, who belonged to the ancient emperors. Nor is there any right to treat the city as nothing.
That's the arrogance that only empty knights can have.
"I am Baron Zaire of the Fourth Brigade of the Fourth Battalion of the Seventh Knights of the Kingdom!"
After cursing a few words in a helpless whisper, Zaire could only choose to use a more primitive and passive method to deliver the message to the other party: "Open your city gates, I have something important to interview your city lord and get his reply!"
"It turned out to be Baron Zaire. ”
A voice came down from the castle tower. Even if it is expanded by the power of magic, you can still feel the crispness and grace in it, like the murmuring of water.
Standing beside Zaire, a female mage in a black robe looked up and noticed the woman appearing at the head of the city—a white gold hair, a combination of deep facial features and white and delicate skin to form an impressive face. And at this moment, on this delicate face, a shallow, elegant and charming smile is being revealed.
Rose Blake's brow furrowed, and it might be difficult for even the most demanding ceremonial officer to find fault with this 'aristocratic smile', but it is precisely because of this that it is ...... Rose Black, for example, felt an extreme disgust—a model for all the nobles in the world, in the sense of hypocrisy...... Therefore, the mages without exception have a lot of criticism about it.
Among them, especially mages from small nobles like Rose Black, are the most disgusted with this kind of thing, and have become accustomed to criticizing it as 'the stuff of a shit aristocracy'
"I'm sorry, Your Excellency, I think I've explained to you that our lord Edward is not in Burgundy right now, but just a moment ago there were some tricky internal affairs in the city, and as a result, a period of curfew and martial law is required, so I can't accept your visit for the time being if there is no particularly necessary incident. ”
"Bastard!"
The woman responded lightly. Zaire couldn't help but roar, and the low roar even the increase without the use of magic was transmitted far away, reaching the top of the tower: "What an internal matter! You have just committed an unforgivable crime, and your soldiers have the audacity to openly attack, and even try to kill an imperial baron, this is a crime of rebellion! If you cannot give me a correct account of this matter, then I will treat you, your whole city, as rioters......"
"Your Excellency Baron Zaire, I beg your forgiveness for not being able to accept your accusations, for in my opinion your words are ridiculous......"
The noblewoman spoke, interrupting the knight's roar with a cold, harsh sneer: "In the last few hourglasses, days and even decades, not a single inhabitant of Burgundy has ever committed a crime against a nobleman. Moreover, I need to remind you that even the rudiest of the orc codes, issued by the barbarian god King Guush tens of thousands of years ago, also stipulates in the second article, 'Murder pays for life, theft and chopping off hands, but prove it!' and let me ask you, Your Excellency, you say that the people of our city have dared to attack you in a rebellious manner...... So, how exactly do you prove your word?"
"Nonsense!" Zaire roared, the mage beside him had finally injected amplification magic on him at this time, so the roar was even louder and deafening: "I'm a baron, and what I say is proof!"
"For civilians, it is. The woman's voice was flat and gentle, but sharp. It's like a needle tip in cotton.
"But don't forget the jì. Your complaint is not just against individuals, but against the guards of the city of Burgundy, that is to say, against me...... The indictment made by my lord Viscount Edward Vincent, accuses him of being lax and not strict with his majesty, but as a nobleman. You must comply with the ...... Abide by the statutes of the Code of Tuminis, present your evidence and lodge a complaint with His Majesty the King"
"Mixed ...... Bastard!" Zaire couldn't help but be dumbfounded for a moment, and then couldn't help but curse loudly...... When he was offended by the dwarf and the mongrel elf, there were indeed many people who saw it. But I also want to know that those guys are all residents of this city, and it is definitely impossible to testify to him. And his two subordinates have already fallen into the hands of the other party, and it is easy to seal their mouths, and it is simply fatal.
That's right, if you want their lives, you will naturally die without proof.
Therefore, at this time, the angry curse of the thousand-person chief is a little monotonous and weak. ,
"I'm Rose Blake, a high-ranking mage, from the Kingdom Romante City Guard Auxiliary Mage Regiment,"
But. Zaire's doom seemed to end there—the impatient black-robed mage finally took over: "I have been ordered to carry out a heavy task in Burgundy, and according to the divine authority conferred upon me by His Majesty the King, I may ask for the cooperation of any lord, even a duke, His Excellency, therefore. I command you to open the gates of the city now, and let me, and the Lord Zaire, who is in charge of my work, enter the city!"
"This ...... Your Excellency, Venerable Venerable, we can cooperate with you in your work. ”
For this tough statement, the woman, who claimed to be a staff member of the city lord, hesitated for the first time, and she gritted her teeth: "But." Now that our lord is not in the city, my authority is not in a position to judge the authenticity of your commands, so if necessary. We can ......."
"So, are you planning to disobey the will of the Great King?" the black-robed female mage sneered sharply, interrupting her words, "If so. I would like to ask you, is my national mage qualified to judge you, a commoner who dares to disobey the orders of His Majesty the King?"
The answer from the castle tower was silent, and the silence slowly dispersed for the rest of the time......
The mage looked up at the tall wall,
At this time, apart from the woman and her attendants, there was not a single person on the wall. However, in the towering watchtowers, there were many black shadows flickering under the raised battlements, and it was obvious that the other party's intentions were by no means as friendly and leisurely as they appeared on the surface.
Their purpose was obviously to delay, relying on the city they could wait at least ten days and a half months, and even get the matter in front of His Majesty the King, or, wait until they had enough backers - for that little guy, he did have such strength, or his teacher, who was a ** teacher, would not have any leisure to follow him
But by what? The wall that is more than 30 feet high?
In the shadow of the hood, the woman smiled sharply.
It was indeed magnificent, but the physical walls that were only covered with a layer of rice teleportation circle, and did not even have the effect of anti-magic, were not worth mentioning in the face of the great, all-powerful arcane.
"Stone Molding!"
She whispered. At the same time, a pale palm stretched out from the cuff and waved forward.
In an instant, she and the seven mages behind her burst out with bright brilliance at the same time! It was the mage's ring ritual - with the help of the resonance of the magic net to form an energy channel, the power of the mages was temporarily connected, with the help of the seven companions' open spirit to themselves as a backing, Rose Black instantly made his spirit strong enough to operate the magic net at a deeper level, and extracted their power to improve his caster's energy level, reaching a point far beyond his true level......
And so, in front of her, the flat land in front of the city gate automatically surged in this brief call of fame!
With a subtle roar, the ground trembled, then turned into a shaking, and the grand arcane power gathered on the surface, causing the earth to swell upwards like a splash, but not a trace of dust was raised, but the water waves gathered like soft mud!
The brown earth then transformed into a grayish, hard surface, and the rocks were pulled and shaped by a large unintentional hand, and the earth and stones were lined up to form an upward staircase, like an unearthed dragon with five heads, almost in the blink of an eye. It stretched out for hundreds of feet—the earth and stone staircase seemed to be made as if it were natural once it was formed, and there were even some simple patterns on it, as if it should have appeared there in the first place.
A few green rays of light burst out from the watchtower, hitting the stone wall that extended upwards, but the effect of dissolving the magic was far from being able to compete with the majestic power of the Tour of Law ritual, and the extended raised stone only shook a little. He continued on, and after a breath or so, the stone had already slammed into the city.
After the explosion. The battlefield was silent for a while, as if a silent angel flew over the heads of everyone present, making them silent.
Zaire stared at the scene in front of him in amazement. Even breathing paused for a moment.
Although he also boasted of being well-informed about magic, in the previous expedition to the Empire, most of the sieges relied on strategy and outstanding mobility to raid the city, and those fireballs and lightning were all grandiose, but it was the first time he had seen such a powerful and direct method
In fact, this can only be in this kind of not grand city, the other party is not well prepared, similar to sneaking up on their own people. to be able to work. But in the blink of an eye, the days before became the pathway...... In the face of such miracles, human beings always seem to feel their own insignificance very physically, and most of their sanity is taken away by that inexplicable shock.
Thankfully, he quickly remembered his purpose.
"Rush forward!"
The spear in his hand is pointed diagonally at the ground. He shouted violently!
"Ulla!" The belated command finally woke up the knights, and the knights at the leaders of each squad each habitually roared and urged their mounts!
The shouts of killing began to reverberate!
This sudden change. Apparently caught the city defenders off guard...... No one expected that the friendly forces of the same Imperial Sequence would attack the city so simply, and in a panic, they threw a rain of arrows, but the mages immediately tore out a wall of wind and blew it away!
A look of surprise flashed in her eyes.
Looking down from the city tower, the neat block, it is a little breathtaking, the buildings here are all made of wood, in the form of a very beautiful two-story and three-story buildings, similar shapes are connected to become a street down, with the smooth and smooth stone pavement on the ground, it naturally forms a unique atmosphere and momentum,
From the open doors of the shops, you can see the beautiful furnishings inside, as if many of the furniture in the room were fixed to the walls, and the logs did not look rough and colorful like the other houses, they looked very smooth. There are even simple patterns etched...... The bluestone floors of the whole street are neat and solid, without the slightest smell of the dirty rancid smell of the country city, the smell of animals mixed with the rancid smell of human beings for many years, and there is a faint smell of wood.
The mage's brow furrowed, he knew that it was because the inside and outside of these houses had been carefully polished and decorated, and the aura was produced—such a project, not huge, but it was usually almost unexpected...... The architecture of the city has never produced a special standard, and the builders are usually merchants, so after all, even if there is a large-scale replanning, the city manager usually needs to estimate that the only thing to do is to renovate the streets.
If this was also planned by the young city lord, then he could really be called a qualified lord, and those of the most well-known and few great cities on the continent, such as Bayshore City, Golden Castle, and other famous cities
However, if these were indeed the work of the young lord, he would have nothing to fear—life is too short, and for a mage determined to explore the arcane law, time is always the most precious treasure, and the ultimate outcome is to let his life be wasted in these boring directions.
But that's not necessarily the case...... Legend has it that thousands of years ago, the cities built by the arcanists also had a uniform architectural style, and even a neat dream city that seemed to be depicted.
The female mage suddenly thought to herself.
And this thought naturally did not appear in her mind for no reason.
In the next moment, she couldn't help but take a breath of cold air.
A faint layer of mist shrouded the towering building, the fortress of the city lord, at the end of this street.
But it's better to say it's a tall tower than a castle. The blue-black building was surrounded by a lower fortress-like building, made of brick and stone, but the main body with the size of a castle in the center stood tall and tall! The blue-gray exterior was thick and solid, and in prominent positions, countless magic symbols and magic circles were inscribed.
A magic tower?
That thin layer of mist was obviously the effect of a kind of magic. Keep the entire building under arcane protection. Because of this, only when entering the city, or even getting closer, can people really see the true appearance of this tower, which is more than 100 feet tall. And after a certain distance, there is only a layer of sky shrouded in a faint mist.
A real magic tower? (To be continued......
