Chapter 221

After receiving the news of Fate's siege on the city, everyone's faces turned serious.

Nangong Tao and Nangong Jing looked at each other, and then Nangong Tao gave an order, ordering his deputy general to immediately assemble the soldiers and prepare to go out of the city to meet the enemy.

"Jing'er, although your new skills allow you to control many monsters, your body is relatively fragile. Even if you are protected outside the city, you may still get hurt. You should stay on the city wall."

Nangong Tao said to Nangong Jing before leaving.

Upon hearing this, Nangong Jing was a little unhappy and wanted to say something, but was interrupted by Xuanyuan Xingyao's words.

"Father-in-law is right. Jing'er, it's safer for you to stay on the city wall. It won't hinder you from summoning monsters."

Xuanyuan Xingyao cares more about Nangong Jing's safety than anyone else, and he agrees more than anyone else that Nangong Jing doesn't need to leave the city.

If it was just Nangong Tao, Nangong Jing could still fight for himself, but since Xuanyuan Xingyao also said so, Nangong Jing knew that it was impossible for him to leave the city with him today.

"You should be careful too."

Nangong Jing said in a deep voice.

"Don't worry."

Xuanyuan Xingyao touched Nangong Jing's head soothingly, then turned around and left with Nangong Tao.

"Your Majesty, I remember that you and Jing'er are not married yet. It's a bit early to call me father-in-law."

As they walked out, Nangong Tao suddenly spoke.

Xuanyuan Xingyao seemed not to have heard Nangong Tao's words. His expression did not change at all. He just replied calmly.

"Although we haven't gotten married yet, we've already decided on the wedding date. If it weren't for this war, we would have gotten married. How could you not be worthy of calling me father-in-law?"

Nangong Tao was so choked by Xuanyuan Xingyao that he was speechless. In the end, he could only glare at him unhappily.

In order to have a better conversation, the few of them went to Nangong Tao's temporary room to talk. As for the students from the Imperial Capital Academy who were traveling with them, the deputy general took them away and made arrangements.

Therefore, when Xuanyuan Xingyao and Nangong Tao arrived at the city gate and joined the army to prepare to go out of the city to meet the enemy, they saw many students waiting there.

Nangong Tao appreciated and was pleased with the students who took risks to come and support him, and a rare hint of gentleness appeared on his face.

"Summoners and magicians launched long-range attacks from the city walls, while warriors mounted their horses and joined the main army in marching out of the city to meet the enemy."

Nangong Tao was relieved, but he couldn't joke with the lives of these children.

Summoners and magicians are not suitable for close combat. If they are really allowed to leave the city, they will easily get hurt. It is better for them to stay inside the city.

When the students arrived, they were already told by the teachers to obey Nangong Tao's instructions.

And everyone knows that with their physical conditions, if they really leave the city, they will be a drag and need protection.

Therefore, no one objected to Nangong Tao's order, and everyone took action quickly.

Those who want to go up to the city wall should go up to the city wall, those who want to get on horseback should get on horseback, in short, no one should fall behind.

Nangong Tao was even more relieved to see the students act so quickly.

At this time, Shui Ling and Ou Ya's generals also arrived. Seeing that everyone was present, Nangong Tao gave an order to open the city gate and go out of the city to meet the enemy.

When Nangong Jing arrived at the top of the city wall, the two armies outside the city had already officially started fighting. The summoners and magicians who came with him also took out their magic wands, ready to summon monsters (cast magic) at any time.

"Xiao Jing, this way."

Feng Xuanzhou saw Nangong Jing and waved to him.

Nangong Jing heard the sound and came to Feng Xuanzhou and Yu Tianze, and checked the situation outside the city with them.

"Right now, it's just the soldiers fighting each other. The enemy summoners and magicians haven't taken action yet."

Yu Tianze kept staring at the situation on the battlefield with a very serious expression.

"Right now, both sides are in a testing phase. Magicians and summoners usually take action when the testing phase ends."

Although Nangong Jing seldom fought in battles at the Shuiling border, he had witnessed so many battles that he was very clear about the actions of the Fit army.

"Then when do we take action?"

The person who asked the question was not Feng Xuanzhou and Yu Tianze, but a student standing next to them. The other person was a gold magician.

All the students present knew that Nangong Jing had supported Shui Ling together with Xuanyuan Xingyao, so no one doubted his words.

Nangong Jing glanced at the other person, then pondered for a moment before answering.

"When Fate's soldiers start changing their formation, we can attack. It's best not to attack on your own, as this will likely disrupt the arrangements of our generals."

"So how do we proceed?"

This time it was Feng Xuanzhou who raised the question.

The students who were allowed to come were basically the top combat-capable ones in the Imperial Capital Academy. Each of them had extensive combat experience, but that was only experience in fighting alone.

They don't really have much experience in this kind of group battles, so they don't know when to take action.

"Just follow General Lin's orders."

When Nangong Jing just came up, he saw Nangong Tao's deputy general was also there. Nangong Jing guessed that Nangong Tao must have left him there deliberately.

Nangong Jing's guess was correct. If Nangong Jing could think of it, there was no way that the veteran Nangong Tao could not have thought of it.

In order to allow this group of students to play their greatest role and to prevent them from making random moves to disrupt their formation, Nangong Tao deliberately left behind his deputy general.

Although General Lin is Nangong Tao's deputy general, he is also a veteran and is more than capable of commanding this group of "new recruits".

"Seventh Young Master."

When General Lin heard Nangong Jing mention him, he walked over and greeted him.

"I'll have to trouble General Lin next."

Nangong Jing nodded slightly to General Lin.

"You are too polite, Seventh Young Master. This is my duty."

The people brought by Nangong Tao are really just like him, they all like to have a stern face.

However, although General Lin always had a stern face, his aura was quite gentle and he seemed easy to get along with.

After a brief greeting with Nangong Jing, General Lin looked around and then rearranged the students' seats.

When the students came up just now, they all stood on their own and were a bit messy.

After General Lin's redeployment, it was clear at a glance that the summoners and magicians stood together.

The magicians were also arranged according to their attributes, making it more convenient to launch an attack later.

While General Lin was rearranging the students' positions, the battle situation outside the city also changed.

The testing between the two sides has ended and the time for formal fighting has begun.

Nangong Tao fought with Fate several times. Seeing that the soldiers on the opposite side began to change their positions in an orderly manner, he knew that they were preparing to form a formation.

"Speed ​​up, disrupt their pace, and delay their formation."

It is difficult to completely stop Fate from forming a formation, but it is still possible to delay some time.

General Lin and Nangong Tao have been fighting together on the battlefield for decades, so the tacit understanding between them is beyond words.

Therefore, when General Lin saw Nangong Tao's actions, he immediately ordered the magicians to launch an attack.

"The Wood Element assists the Water Element, and the Water Element launches an attack."

Just now, after General Lin adjusted the positions of the magicians, he asked them to discuss among themselves which magic to use first after launching the attack.

Therefore, after General Lin gave the order, the water magician immediately chanted the spell and cast a large-scale magic, "Blue Sea Waves", on the battlefield.

As the water magicians uttered the last word, huge waves formed above the Fate soldiers.

Because wood magicians are auxiliary, they are one step slower than water magicians.

They had just finished chanting their spell when the huge wave formed.

Wood creates water, and the wood magicians also cast defensive magic, so the huge waves became even bigger.

It looked like he was going to sweep away all the soldiers on Fate's side.

When Qiao Linqi noticed the huge wave forming, he did not panic, and his expression became a little more serious.

"Fire mages will defend, and the other mages will attack."

The opponent doesn't have magicians only, they have them too, and their magicians have a higher level of tacit understanding.

Following Qiao Linqi's order, the magicians on Fate's side also acted quickly, defending when necessary and attacking when necessary.

The speed is even faster than that of the students of Imperial Capital College.

But it's not surprising. The magicians on Fate's side are almost all specially trained by the Fate royal family. They are not only experienced but also have good tacit understanding.

On the other hand, although the students at the Imperial Capital Academy are talented and have strong fighting abilities, they have never cooperated with each other. It is already very impressive that they are at their current level.

Fortunately, the students' actions were not completely ineffective. Although the fire magicians on Fate's side had defended with all their might, they still lost the initiative.

After the huge wave fell, even though most of it was blocked, the remaining small part still caused many Fate soldiers to lose their lives.

Most importantly, their original plan to change formation was stopped.

Even though they finally succeeded in forming a formation, many soldiers had been killed by Longying's side before that, and they even lost a deputy general, which had never happened before.

It’s not that we haven’t lost lieutenants before, it’s just not this fast.

However, after Fate formed the formation, Nangong Tao began to fight a tough battle.

Fortunately, after Xuanyuan Xingyao got the complete book of formations, he read it from beginning to end.

Perhaps this complete collection of formations was really composed by him in his previous life, so even if he only read it once, the contents of the collection were still firmly imprinted in Xuanyuan Xingyao's mind.

Therefore, after Fate formed the formation, Xuanyuan Xingyao immediately came up with a way to break the formation.

"Father-in-law, you lead your men to attack from the northwest. General Mao, you lead your men to attack from the southeast. General Ouyang leads his men to attack from the south. The rest of you follow me and attack from the east."

Xuanyuan Xingyao gave the order quickly.

Mao Yunkai and Nangong Tao both knew that Xuanyuan Xingyao had a complete collection of formations, so they immediately took action upon hearing his words.

However, General Ouyang, the chief commander of the Eurasia side, did not know about this, so he was somewhat confused about Xuanyuan Xingyao's order.

However, despite his doubts, when he saw that Nangong Tao and Mao Yunkai had obeyed Xuanyuan Xingyao's orders, he chose to trust them and led his men to rush to the south of the Fate army.
