The remnants left behind by Ashe Mido put up a fierce resistance, and all the leading nobles fell dead in battle, leaving behind a pile of corpses.
This gave Ash Mido enough time to retreat to Xialan's second line of defense to rest.
After strangling the resistance at the dock, the enemy did not pursue them, but immediately took control of the dock, allowed the rear troops to land, and organized the team into formation to advance slowly.
"They have washed away the shame of their betrayal. Let their eldest son inherit the title."
"Count, you are still too soft-hearted. Those guys thought that death would solve all their problems. It's not that easy."
Marcus Ster was very disgusted with the traitor. Willow Goven wanted to say something, but seeing the other nobles around him were filled with righteous indignation, he did not speak.
"Hey, Mido, could you please keep your men away from the low wall?"
Xia Lan walked over slowly, ignoring the nobles who were expressing their loyalty to Ash Mido, and spoke lazily.
When Ai Xi Mido saw that Xia Lan's men were all more than ten meters away from the low wall, he immediately realized something and quickly ordered them to leave the low wall.
"Thank you."
The enemy troops who were charging in formation could not help but quicken their pace upon seeing this, but the young commander commanding at the dock noticed something was wrong.
"Send the order to stop the attack!"
The gong to stop the attack had just sounded when the front army had already hit the low wall.
boom!
Torches were thrown onto the low wall, and the scorching flames burned rapidly. The materials removed from the slum huts obviously could not withstand the red runes. Not only did they fail to protect the low wall at the moment the flames ignited, but they exploded one after another. The soldiers who stopped in the front row were directly pushed into the four-meter-high orange wall of fire by the people behind them.
"ah!"
The high-temperature flame of this rune, which acts as an accelerant, instantly engulfs anyone who enters it, treating them as new combustion materials. In the constantly exploding flames of the rune, they are melted together with the iron armor on their bodies.
More than a dozen huge water balls were shot out from the rear of the army formation, but they evaporated before they got close to the fire wall, and the hot steam also scalded several of their own people.
"Retreat and wait until the wall of fire is out before attacking."
Commanders at all levels hurriedly ordered their troops to retreat. Those occupying the dock were not in a hurry. After the fire was extinguished, it would be easier to attack without the low wall.
"Grenadiers, get ready!"
Xia Lan pulled out the Call of Stroke in her hand and closed her eyes in pain.
"put!"
The Storm Knights lifted the brandy barrels brought from Boravice and threw them over the wall of fire with all their might. These barrels were also engraved with runes by Xia Lan. Because they were made of ordinary materials, the runes on them were very unstable, turning the barrels into gunpowder barrels.
The first barrel of brandy fell on the head of a centurion. The moment the helmet touched the barrel, red runes appeared on the surface of the barrel, and then it shattered. The sparks ignited other runes and brandy on the barrel.
"boom!"
After a loud bang, a pile of minced meat appeared in the army formation, and the soldiers within the explosion radius of ten meters were all in flames and wailing.
There were also many soldiers whose bodies were not on fire, rolling on the ground with their faces covered. The wood chips from the exploded wine barrels stung their faces, making these unlucky guys' lives worse than death.
But this was just the beginning. The knights, all strong men, carried barrels and threw them out madly. Only Lie Molten Hammer covered his eyes and muttered, "Don't explode, don't explode..."
If Lie Molten Hammer had known that he would be working for such a crazy boss, he would never have stayed. It wouldn't matter if the fire runes were engraved on ordinary materials, at most they would burn or explode, but engraving them on wooden barrels for distilled liquor, the person who came up with this idea is really a genius!
Of course, Lie Molten Hammer didn't know about distilled liquor. If he knew that the wine barrel that Xia Lan asked him to carve runes on contained this stuff, he would never do it even if he was beaten to death. Thinking about the dance with death just now, the forty-year-old dwarf's legs were trembling.
"Explosive Flame Crystal or Fire Scroll!"
Ashe Mido watched the chaotic battle of the fire elements, secretly guessing something.
But no matter what it is, none of it is cheap. Whether it is a magic scroll enchanted by a mage or a rune scroll made by a warlock, he has everything, and the enemy should have it too, but neither side can use it because it is expensive, more expensive than a dead person, really expensive.
Ai Xi Mido felt that the things Xia Lan threw out were almost enough to match this fleet. He used these things that were only given to the direct descendants of top families when they went out for training as conventional weapons. Could it be that Xia Lan Augulus mastered the technology of large-scale refining?
If he can't kill Xia Lan and get this technology, he really can only sell his daughters. The eldest daughter can be exchanged for some knowledge of breaking through to the level of a Mage Saint, the second daughter can be exchanged for this technology similar to the Explosive Flame Crystal, and the third daughter is still young, so let's see what else he has hidden...
After one round of bombing, the enemy was completely defeated and retreated towards the dock like a tide.
"Count, the young master and the young ladies are here!"
Another fleet appeared on the sea and penetrated from behind the invading enemy fleet.
"We can't let them get ahead of us, Ta'ai Kelo!"
As soon as Xia Lan finished speaking, the burning wall of fire gathered into a fire dragon and rushed towards the enemy troops who were still holding their ground. With one sword, he killed a fifth-level purple gold who was blocking his way. Ta'ikelo laughed wildly and rushed out with a heavy sword.
The Knights also used their shields to knock down the low wall charcoal rack that had lost its flames, and rushed out with the people behind them.
Looking at Ta'ikelo who was killing people in front of him, Aixi Mido had to give up the plan to assassinate Xia Lan. Another one who practiced both magic and martial arts reached the sixth level.
"charge!"
The nobles brought their own private armies and divided into more than a dozen groups, charging forward like spearheads. Only Ash Mido did not move. He waved his hand, flames ignited in the void, and a staff emerged from the flames.
He grabbed the staff and swung it, and the fire dragon condensed by Ta'ikelo split into countless fire crows to chase the defeated army. Although this made Ta'ikelo very unhappy, he preferred the collision of blood and iron and did not say anything.
A huge water curtain rose up, and the sixth-level wizard on the opposite side took action. However, just as he raised the water curtain, a pair of small hands suddenly appeared out of thin air and grabbed his staff.
"Bring it here!"
Before the surrounding guards could react, Faaudis had disappeared, leaving only the white-bearded wizard stunned and at a loss.
On the front battlefield, the water curtain disappeared in less than three seconds after it appeared. This was another heavy blow to the already crumbling morale of the army. Many people laid down their weapons and squatted on the ground to surrender.
"I'm a mage, don't kill me!"
"I'm a noble, don't kill me!"
Wodek killed the man who claimed to be a noble with a sword, tied up the little wizard, and had him taken away. After that, he stopped chasing people and tied up and took away anyone wearing a wizard's robe.
"Goode, let's seize the command ship first!"
Varyan called Good, who was still fighting with the defeated army at the dock, and Heli, Volor and the knights jumped onto the ship and rushed towards the command ship. Willow Gowen and several nobles also joined them and rushed towards the command ship.
"Don't even think about getting through!"
A fourth-rank gold general shot Chekhov into the sea and gathered several officers to block the way of Varyan and others.
"kill!"
"war!"
The two sides soon started fighting.
Acarius quietly withdrew from the melee, grabbed a rope with the Storm Flag and swung onto another warship, constantly bypassing the enemies blocking his way and moving towards the command ship.
