97 End of the war
In the darkness of the night, only the flickering firelight was seen, and the solid stone ball burst out from the thick metal pipe, covering the hillside, and bursting out large clouds of smoke.
The lethality of solid projectiles is actually not bad, although direct damage is only a few, but when these large stone balls collide with hard objects, the lethality of the splattered fragments is no worse than that of arrows fired by bows and crossbows. However, after two or three rounds of artillery fire, all the camps were torn to pieces, and many miscellaneous soldiers fell in pools of blood.
The little boy beside the mage looked at the shocking scene on the hillside, and frequently looked back at the iron cannon that was still breathing fire, and his eyes showed a shocking light.
As soon as they got the message, the two dozen or so local militiamen who came out of the town looked at the smashed hillside and froze together.
A large number of townspeople, whose curiosity had suppressed their fears, also walked out of their homes to watch the battle that had just begun.
The red-robed woman standing behind the wall of several warriors' heavy shields raised her hand, and the artillery fire stopped bombarding.
She had already spied on the layout of the camp with a spell before the cannon fired, and all the artillery fire fell on the miscellaneous area, because considering that if the mayor was injured, many problems would immediately become serious.
Although it is not uncommon for the red robes to compete with each other for power, if it involves the killing of colleagues, then the situation will spread to the six major families.
After all, there are less than two thousand red-robed mages in Serge, and the death of one usually is a very worthy matter for a family.
Although this kind of trouble is not unsolvable, with the fragile authority of a few of them, it is difficult to guarantee that it will not pay a huge price.
Therefore, the three red robes did not want the situation to escalate, and it was enough to disarm the 'mayor' that might threaten their power.
What's more, the fireball magic wand is not something that is readily available, and the three red robes have been busy for a few months, and they have only made a few.
The artillery fire stopped bombarding, Penny began to cast spells, a light that was not bright spread to a large area around him, the little boy next to him felt a burning heat enter his body, his blood seemed to boil instantly, and the surging power filled his body, as if he could explode at any time, and his heart was also full of active emotions, and he was eager to attack the enemy.
"This is the power of magic, magic, magic ......" Thomas's eyes flickered with fire, and although he knew that he could not charge and kill the enemy, his enthusiasm shifted to another place.
"Attack!" a 'Boost' was cast, and Penny took a deep breath and pointed his finger at the hillside that had been blasted into a mess.
More than a dozen gray dwarves turned on the magic armor on their armor, held large shields and brandished large axes, and rushed out with loud shouts, while other shiny warriors roared at the same time, charging towards the mountainside camp that was only more than three hundred feet short.
The moment the cannon fire rang out, the black warrior on the hillside quickly flashed into the crevice, having seen the power displayed in those iron cylinder tests, she knew very well that the protection of divine grace was not enough for her to carry it head-on without dying.
Even with such swift movements, there was still a sharp pain in her waist, but it was because when she jumped, a large piece of cracked gravel hit the armor in that place, and the armor immediately dented and cracked, and the vibration of her internal organs caused her to spit out several mouthfuls of blood in succession.
She prayed for divine grace to heal the injury, but a stronger vibration erupted behind her, and as soon as she lowered her head, several fragments swept over her head, and cold sweat broke out on her forehead, but she saw a dark shadow above, and the red-robed mage came in in an embarrassed posture.
Due to the large amount of protective force field, this mage did not even have a piece of mud on his body, and the clean red robe was dazzling in the eyes of the black knight.
"What the hell is that?" The expression on the mage's face was very ugly, although not to the point of panic - this is also a quality that most red robes have, but it can also be seen that his formation is messed up: "What magic can cause such an effect?"
"Arcane machines are just that, you cast a disarming spell on those things, and they will go out, hurry!" The black knight frowned, his expression was very stern, and the divine grace he carried surprised Tansud, he showed half of his head, and was about to start guiding the spell, but saw that the artillery fire on the opposite side had stopped, and the large group of soldiers rushed towards with an astonishing sound.
"They're coming!" he whispered.
"So what are you waiting for, rush out and organize the soldiers to fight!" the Black Warrior rebuked in a stern tone.
The red-robed mage sweated from the corners of his forehead, and the shouting of killing was getting closer and closer, and the three-hundred-yard ramp was not long, but it was actually only a minute's work, and the disgraced but not seriously injured officer Gaithor shouted to gather his subordinates to resist, but the soldiers who had just been bombarded by artillery fire had obviously lost all their fighting spirit, and only touched briefly for a while, like a broken fence blown down by a strong wind.
The Grey Dwarf Striker roared and slashed at the officers and Searle Knights with their great axes, and although the superb martial arts skills honed by the battle-hardened officers could keep the officers in danger, with so many enemies, even the most superb martial arts could only support them. And the gray dwarves on the opposite side fight underground all year round, and they are also elite warriors.
The soldiers behind secretly aimed at the target with their crossbows, and Gessol set up two large axes that had been cut over, and suddenly there was a sharp pain in his thighs, and he saw a shining axe blade quickly approaching his face!
Cha!
Blood splattered!
The bloodlust in the bloodline of the race was stimulated, and the gray dwarf's eyes were red, leading the attacking soldiers to let out a violent roar.
It was as if with this roar, the resistance of the camp completely collapsed.
"We surrender!" the remaining soldiers dropped their weapons.
"There's no hope. For a moment, all kinds of shock, anger and despair came and went in the heart of the red-robed mage, and his face turned gray.
"Don't panic like a!" Lanelou also had an ugly expression, she drew her greatsword and pressed it against the neck of the red-robed mage, "Open any door and escape!"
“...... I can't use spells. The cold sweat on Tansud's forehead grew.
Once a class of spells is abandoned, the mind cuts off the relative part of the magic net organization, let alone magic, and even scrolls and wands cannot be used.
"Rubbish!" the Black Knight was furious, but quickly suppressed his anger: "Scrolls! Teleportation Scrolls! Give them to me!"
Tansud nodded hurriedly, any mage will have some specific types of spell scrolls on his body, even if he can't use them, because he doesn't know when these spells will come in handy, but his speed is obviously a little slow, and he only took out the scroll halfway, and he heard footsteps on the stone crevice.
As soon as they looked up, they saw countless sharp crossbow arrows pointed at them in the cracks of the stone.
Tansud's wrist hurt, and the scroll fell to the ground, and several arrows shot up, and a large amount of visible seven-colored gas leaked out of the hole in the scroll, and the thing became waste paper.
The black warrior's gaze wandered, and when he saw the young red-robed face appear in view, a strong anger made her heart almost explode.
But it's more powerless.
She lost again, and she didn't even start a formal 'confrontation'.
She almost burst into flames as she glared angrily at Penny.
The dean, who was in his early sixteens, looked down at the scene in the crack in the stone, his eyes falling on the greatsword that was resting around Tansud's neck.
He seemed to think of something, and a smile appeared on his face:
"Sheriff, how can you do this to our mayor, and get him back to the academy to rest......"
The flame in the Black Knight's eyes was suddenly replaced by a stunned pause, and she only froze for a moment, and then saw the smile on Penny's lips that seemed to be in her hands.
The anger in my heart boiled again.
Is this forcing her to admit defeat?
But the situation in front of her had already told her that she had failed.
The heavy sword fell to the ground.
"Well done, despicable fellow!" she said with a vicious expression as she passed Dean Sean's side.
"You have done a good job this time, and I hope you will continue to do your duty properly in the future, Madam Sheriff. Penny said quietly, in a tone that sounded very.
Lanew glared at him fiercely, clutched her injured waist, and limped towards the town, forgetting to pick up her greatsword.
"A spoiled little girl, arrogant and self-righteous. The female red robe came to Penny's side at some point, she said something like that, but without measuring whether her age gave her enough qualifications to call the black warrior a little girl, she looked at Lannilou's back from afar: "You gave her this step, and she won't be grateful to you." ”
"I don't have to force everyone to like me. The mage sighed: "It's so tiring to be alive then, not to mention that as a red-robed mage, it's normal to be hated by many people." ”
Rekita chuckled, "I'm starting to like you a little bit, Sean." ”
"Is this true or is it a joke?" Penny looked at the female colleague in astonishment, until each other's expressions became serious, and he saw that the frost-like expression appeared on the face of the female red robe, and the sense of disobedience in his heart gradually subsided.
"You can just take it as a joke, anyway, for some people with active minds, explaining is just a waste of time. Rekita said lightly.
Penny nodded in agreement, feeling that their conversation was indeed very profound and intriguing, and if outsiders didn't know about their relationship, they really thought they would have something to do with it.
Suddenly, he had a stirring spirit, and suddenly woke up to the fact that the history with the female red robe was really a little unknown, which made Penny vigilant, and his slightly suspicious gaze swept over the mirror-like face, and he didn't notice anything unusual at all.
He gradually put his mind at ease, this woman who is full of control **, the only thing that can make her fall in love is probably power.
"But Sean, this incident has given us a warning. Rekita was silent for a while, then suddenly spoke, "How long do you think we can stay here without any support?"
Penny frowned, the question was indeed to the point.
A sparse population, chaotic mountains, and ill-intentioned bosses.
This time the mayor of the town is a clear proof, he has long known that his colleagues in the north are not eye-catching to him, but this kind of bright means has already shown naked hostility.
Several dwarves came over in a red-robed mage, although his shot hand was roughly bandaged, but looking at his blue nose and swollen face, it is estimated that he was not less black.
"Don't think you've won. He stared at Penny viciously.
"Well, there will always be a winning side in any struggle. Penny smiled faintly and bowed very respectfully, "We hope that the accommodation we have prepared for you will make you feel pleasant." ”
Tansud snorted, and was carried away by the gray dwarf.
Although he said cruel words, his heart was discouraged, not only because of the treatment he was about to suffer.
Even if he was able to escape this fate, he would not be reused in the family in the future, for a simple reason, Searle despised the loser.
Unless he can turn over in other ways, such as arcane prowess, but that's hard to say.
Penny walked unhurriedly as he fell into deep thought.
If you want to gain a foothold in this town, it is not enough to develop your head, you must get some political assistance.
The arrival of the new mayor, in particular, had made Penny aware that the water in the area was very deep, and if they reached out and stirred it up at will, it was likely to have serious consequences.
"Gotta pick a time to go to Sanophon. Penny looked up, "If necessary, you should also consider going back to Eltaper to seek the family's assistance." ”
The female red robe nodded, and her footsteps paused: "But Penny, I suggest you leave after a while, there are still many things to deal with in the town at the moment, and after this incident, there will probably be a period of time for us to take a breath." ”
Penny thought for a moment and nodded silently.
When they walked back to the town, the town was full of townspeople, who had seen with their own eyes how the camp halfway up the hill had been reduced to a pile of ruins in just ten minutes, and how the new mayor, who had been menacing a day before, had become a prisoner of defeat almost in the time of a meal.
Although they did not think that Penny's army was necessarily no match for those outside the town, they did not expect that the battle would end so briefly and that the process was not lacking in shock, which undoubtedly gave them a mental shock.
After what happened more than a month ago, they saw the power of the three red-robed people in the town again.
Lumi Jones abruptly stepped out of the way, looking at the mages passing by, his expression growing in awe.
Not only him, but most of the surrounding townspeople looked like the same, and the young man named Rowan had a fanatic taste in his eyes.
Just beside them, a middle-aged man's eyes flickered, not knowing what he was thinking.
