Demon-suppressing fortress.
City Lord's Mansion.
The person sitting opposite Qin was the sword master Isabel who had been poisoned and knocked unconscious earlier.
"On behalf of all the residents and soldiers of the Demon-Suppressing Fortress, I would like to thank the Knights of Favonius for their support!"
Isabel expressed her gratitude to Qin Xing with a knight's salute.
Qin accepted it calmly, but Vilit beside her looked at Isabel in surprise.
"You are at least a contemporary Sword Saint, and are known as the Sword Saint family's strongest Sword Saint in five hundred years. How could you be so easily captured by a group of Fallen Army that doesn't even have Sky Knights?!!"
Isabel's face turned a little ugly because of Vilit's sarcasm. She didn't expect that her adoptive father had actually defected to the Fallen Army and even drugged her.
Especially when she heard that her adoptive father actually had such strange feelings for her, she found it extremely absurd!
But all this is in the past. The man has been killed by the Knights of Favonius. There is no point in thinking too much.
As for the so-called revenge for her father's murder, there might be some truth to that, after all, he was the father who raised her for many years, but her inner morality would not allow her to repay kindness with enmity!
"Of course I'm not blaming you, but it was indeed your fault that the Demon-Suppressing Fortress was almost breached by the Fallen Army. Her Majesty the Queen has decreed that I will temporarily take over your position as the Demon-Suppressing General. Do you have any objections?"
But in fact, the Sword Saint is not directly under the jurisdiction of the Kingdom of Yalan. It is only in order to win over the Sword Saint family that Yalan gives each contemporary Sword Saint the position of Demon-Suppressing General. Although he is not responsible for defense matters, he also has the right to supervise and make suggestions.
Later, because the Sword Saint family had been living here, the Demon-Suppressing General gradually became a local tyrant.
It was difficult to get it back before because there was no excuse, but now the Demon-Suppressing Fortress is almost fallen, although this is not enough for the Sword Master to atone for his sins with his death.
After all, a quasi-Sky Knight, coupled with the inherited artifact of the Sword Saint family, has enough combat power to rival the Sky Knight. Who can kill such a being?
But it would be fine if she just gave up power.
Isabel had no objection. She was originally a pure knight. All she wanted was to become stronger. She was not interested in these things.
Even the power of the former Demon-Suppressing General was mostly used by her adoptive father, and at one point the residents and soldiers of the Demon-Suppressing Fortress even believed that her adoptive father was the real Sword Saint.
Otherwise, she would not have failed to notice that there was such a huge loophole in the defense of the Demon-Suppressing Fortress.
"I will obey the Queen's order!"
After the transfer of power was completed, Vilit began to discuss the defense of the Demon-Suppressing Fortress with Qin. She originally came here to assist Qin, and it also represented the first cooperation between Yalan and the expeditionary force!
"Leave the defense to us. The magic circle on the city wall still depends on the Arran Army. We have our own secret weapons."
Jean said softly, and Willett nodded in agreement.
In the following days, the residents of the Demon-Suppressing Fortress witnessed large transport planes flying in the sky. Various modern weapons were unloaded, followed by a support team of thousands of people.
The Demon-Suppressing Fortress’s clone team has reached 13,000, including Emilia holding a divine weapon and an eight-member wizard team holding imitation divine weapons!
Although it was only a preliminary imitation, it could barely allow them to use the artifact to release forbidden spells. Compared with the real artifact, the imitation artifact had an extra degree of wear and tear, and would be damaged after long-term use.
…
The fallen army reached the Demon-Suppressing Fortress in just three days.
Looking from the city wall, one could see a large black mass of alien species. They formed a huge army and marched in a mighty procession from the end of the plain outside the Demon-Suppressing Fortress.
The orderly sound of footsteps, the dull sound of war drums, the blaring of horns, everything made the endless plain solemn. A strong sense of killing filled the air, making people think of death and blood!
Standing on the tall walls of the Demon-Suppressing Fortress, Qin looked at the huge army below with some amusement.
"Tsk tsk, there must be at least 200,000 or 300,000 of them, right? The previous intelligence only said 50,000, and now so many alien species suddenly appear!"
Qin looked at the rows of captives in handcuffs and anklets in front of the Fallen Army. The captives were both men and women, with no clothes on, only a few pieces of torn cloth covering them. They were being whipped forward by the aliens behind them.
The captives pushed huge siege vehicles with great effort. The blood from the whips splashed on the wheels of the siege vehicles, dyeing them black and red.
Qin looked at the huge siege vehicles with some curiosity. Facing the city wall with protective magic, an ordinary wooden siege vehicle should not be able to break through the city gate, right?
"No, that's the Forbidden Magic Stone!"
Vilit, who was standing next to Qin, also saw the scene below. After seeing the large siege vehicles, she shouted in panic.
Violet seemed to notice Qin's confusion and began to explain to her.
Qin also quickly understood the horror of this siege vehicle.
To put it simply, this is a siege weapon specifically designed for city defense magic.
With it, as long as you can break through to the city wall, you can easily break the city's protective magic and easily break into the city to launch an attack.
In the magical world, the main defensive force of the defenders is the city-protecting magic. Once the city-protecting magic disappears, to a certain extent, it is actually no different from a close combat.
The enemy can even use the teleportation array to directly reach the Demon-Suppressing Fortress and launch an attack!
But this doesn't pose much of a threat to Qin. The worst that can happen is that they can't even get close to the city walls, right?
