Chapter 238 236: A sudden downturn (please subscribe)
When the Marquis of Carlisle gave the order, people immediately rushed out of the tent.
After a while, the sound of trumpets resounded throughout the world, heralding the beginning of the war.
First, the catapult exerted force, and two war weapons that could already be considered large-scale magic weapons were activated. Complex magic patterns lit up and climbed up along the arms.
There were also official knights, with bare arms, grunting as they carried a huge stone to the launch pad.
The stone was only a little smaller than the millstone, and was black in color, with uneven surfaces and magic patterns on it.
It is obviously a magical creation!
When the torch got closer, it burst into flames with a bang and turned into a green fireball.
The knight ran very fast, as if he was escaping, and another knight took a wooden hammer and suddenly pulled the trigger.
With a 'boom' sound, he swung his arm and suddenly launched a fireball.
As if it had a locking function, the fireball actually deflected slightly in mid-air, drew a unique arc, and smashed straight into the war fortress.
This time, it was the Grand Knight Alfonso who took action. He drew his sword and struck with one blow. His fighting spirit slashed across, directly shattering the fireball.
However, what was unexpected was that the fireball suddenly exploded and turned into countless blue flames falling down.
From a distance, it looked like a blue rain of fire!
What's even more terrifying is that this flame is extremely corrosive. Even if it falls on the stone wall, it can burn holes in it.
If it infects a person, it will be extremely difficult to extinguish it.
The two extraordinary knights, Alfonso and Vincent, are naturally fearless. The release of their fighting spirit can create isolation and protection.
But others did not receive such treatment. Even the official knights were escaping and looking for a place to hide at this moment.
This made the two of them look extremely ugly!
However, this is just the beginning!
After all, there are only two of these catapults, and even if they take turns firing, the speed cannot be fast.
But with the suppression of the catapults, the people on the fortress dared not show their heads, and the shield guards raised their large shields and walked in front.
Behind them were all Sardinian longbowmen.
They held longbows in their hands, and when they got close to the position, they immediately drew their bows and shot arrows, using all their strength to shoot out arrows one after another.
Their arrows are much longer than ordinary arrows, the tail feathers at the back ensure the accuracy of shooting, and the three-edged arrowheads have excellent armor-piercing effects.
The arrows falling from the sky have great inertia and can even penetrate rocks.
Even the knight's armor cannot defend against weak spots.
This time, it was no longer a matter of hiding. Most people could hardly even stand. They could only move further away, or even retreat deeper into the pit.
Under ten rounds of arrow rain, the only ones who could still stand on the war fortress were the two extraordinary ones and some peak-level second-level warriors or knights.
At this time, the ten cliff goat knights rushed up. They jumped along the cliffs and climbed up the war fortress with swift and agile speed.
Four more extraordinary people rushed out from the Carlisle family's camp.
They had two extraordinary knights who directly used the extraordinary fighting skill of turning fighting spirit into wings, flapping their wings and descending from the sky.
There was also a typical swordsman who stepped out with the sound of an eagle's cry and flew up directly.
The last person was a shadow assassin, his figure was like a ghost, moving through the shadows. When he got close, he leaped onto the top of the city wall with one leap.
The targets of these four extraordinary people are very clear, they are the two Grand Knights Alfonso Zeke and Vincent Ackerman.
Two extraordinary knights attacked from the front, while the remaining two knights provided support. They did not seek to kill the enemy, but only to engage in a fight.
Four against two, even if the two Grand Knights are the best among the extraordinary, it is difficult to escape.
Then there were the twelve Cliff Sheep Knights, who directly confronted the second-level peak knights who still stayed behind, and with the convenience of their mounts, they also entangled them tightly.
At this point, the Raymond family had worked hard to build a position in such a huge war fortress for half a month, but they couldn't find anyone to defend it.
At this moment, all the Sardinian longbowmen retreated, like the tide receding.
The knights and warriors of the Carlisle family swarmed forward.
Some of them carried ladders, some swung out grappling hooks, and some even relied on their agility to use the gaps in the wall to gain leverage and continue climbing up.
Because there was no one on the city wall, they were extremely fast and efficient.
After occupying the top of the city wall, they immediately changed to a defensive posture, waiting for the soldiers behind to continue climbing up to the top of the fortress, and the number of them increased and increased!
The Wick family spent more than ten days, even using magic cannons and bombarding the war fortress, but failed to capture it. In just a short while, there were signs of a change of ownership.
On the entire city wall, except for the two great knights who were still trying their best to hold on, even the top official knights were nowhere to be seen.
And on the mountain road, more knights and militiamen were rushing forward, as if any step slower would mean losing a huge contribution.
Of course, they have reason to be eager.
Because, before this battle, the Marquis of Carlisle had clearly told everyone that he would be conferred a knighthood based on his military merits in this battle.
The fiefdom will be divided within the Flower Territory!
If there is anything that can make these knights and vassals excited, it is always land.
Regardless of other little thoughts, just for this one point, they can fight with all their might, even risking their lives for it.
At this time, inside the tent.
Seeing this scene, Marquis Carlisle couldn't help but grin and laugh: "I said Earl Wick was a waste. Look at what he has been doing these days."
"I just made a small move and immediately took over the Frost Moon Canyon. The saying that one man can block the passage of ten thousand is a joke!"
His voice was full of complacency, and the people around him laughed along in a flattering manner.
Only the Pale Knight frowned slightly, seeming a little puzzled!
Marquis Carlisle saw this and asked, "What happened to my Scourge Knight?"
The Pale Knight's status and position are in this person, so there is no need to flatter him.
He slowly shook his head and said, "I always feel it's too easy!"
"Easily?! Shouldn't they have been beaten so hard that they couldn't fight back at all?"
"Although the Wick family is useless, under the pressure from Your Excellency, the old earl also used all his strength, even taking out the magic cannon that he had never shown to anyone.
But even so, Vincent Ackerman was not completely powerless! In fact, he lost several times and was snatched back again.
This kind of morale cannot be fake!
It doesn't make sense that now that we have more troops, more powerful men, and that illegitimate earl has won battle after battle, morale is actually lower than before?"
The Marquis of Carlisle was stunned, as if he was thinking, or doubting.
But the next second, he shook his head firmly and said with a smile, "My Scourge Knight, don't think that illegitimate child is so great. How capable can a fellow who hasn't even grown all his hair be?"
"According to what you said, the most likely possibility is that this is a trap!"
"But tell me, how will that bastard face my army? How will he deal with all my knights and warriors?
Now, even if that bastard leads the Lion Knights to attack us again, I can make him return in defeat!"
“So, if there’s even the slightest chance, they won’t give up this war fortress.
This isn't just a one-time thing; it's been like this for thousands of years!"
The Marquis of Carlisle seemed to be explaining to others, but also to be strengthening his own confidence.
But before he could finish his words, a voice rang out.
"Something's wrong!"
Who is so brave?!
This was the thought of many people in the tent. Marquis Carlisle even glared at the source of the voice with a fierce look.
Then he saw the Mage Timo stand up.
A fourth-order natural disaster qualified him to suppress his anger and listen, but before he could open his mouth, Mage Timo had already quickly walked behind the magic mirror.
He pressed the edge of the magic mirror with both hands, and a surge of magic power poured in, directly pushing away the mages on both sides. After a large amount of magic power entered the magic mirror, new changes occurred.
I saw that above the tent, the devil's eye seemed to be activated and began to move rapidly.
A red light shone out, wandering among the mountains until it went down along the war fortress and reached the land of Flower Territory.
There, tents were also set up.
The war fortress is so small that it is impossible to accommodate all people and supplies.
Therefore, tents, chevaux de frise and camps were set up here.
Originally, there was nothing special here, but when the red light shone, a magical light seemed to flicker on the large open space.
Thus, the scene reflected in the magic mirror finally changed, stripping away the illusion and revealing the truth!
"Magic cannons?! They're actually magic cannons. There are actually magic cannons everywhere here?"
"Why so many? Why so many?"
Someone let out a horrified cry, but the next second, an idea came to everyone's mind.
Earl Wick can buy six third-generation magic cannons, let alone the Raymond family?
They have formal cooperation with the Habsburg Empire, so it is normal for them to get the magic cannon!
Judging from the number shown in the mirror, there are at least dozens of guns. From a distance, the black muzzles facing the war fortress seem to exude the breath of death.
"Retreat! Pass my order! All troops evacuate!"
After a brief pause, the Marquis of Carlisle let out a sharp howl, as if his parents had died.
But it's too late!
…
West of Frost Moon Canyon.
Ms. Palacios's apprentice, the third-level extraordinary wizard Walter Clarke, was stretching out his hands and stroking the metal barrel of the magic cannon.
He felt the unique texture of the metal, and his whole body showed an almost crazy temperament.
The mage is calm and indifferent, and even rarely drinks alcohol, in order to maintain absolute rationality.
However, if they really come across something they like, they will go crazy!
Especially when he encountered this kind of magic cannon that could be called a powerful weapon, he was already eager to try it out.
At this moment, he placed his hands on a magic cannon, poured magic power into it, and lit up the magic patterns one by one.
On the side, a militiaman quickly cleaned the barrel and loaded the shells. The two of them worked together to complete all the preparations before firing at an extremely fast speed.
At this moment, Walter Clark turned his head and looked to the side.
There, almost every one of his fellow junior brothers and sisters activated a magic cannon.
"Everyone, are you ready?"
"Ready!"
The answers were scattered and disorganized, but they could not hide the excited expressions of the magicians and even the apprentices.
"Now that you're ready, let's fire away!"
"Let the world feel the shock brought by the magic cannon!"
Here comes the first update!
