Chapter 712
The people from the Church rushed in, and those who actively stood on the side of the Church also rushed in.
Some teams that were paddling behind or just trying to take advantage of the situation were a beat slower and had not yet reached the city gate.
Leo rushed in with the people around him, but the main force of orcs fell behind. Although they were persuaded not to turn back, they were in a state of not taking action if they could. Although Leo was very angry, he also knew that these orcs were stubborn. He could only rush forward with his brothers and confidants, hoping to get a share of the pie in this war and gain greater voice for himself.
When they rushed in, someone in front screamed, and the city gate behind them closed again. Another magic circle was activated in the city, covering the entire city.
"What the hell is this?"
"It's a trap. Those corrupt guys will resort to such shady means. Everyone, be careful and don't walk around. There are so many traps in this city."
The first group of people who rushed in stepped into the trap, and either fell into a quagmire full of poisonous gas, or fell into a pit full of poisonous insects, or triggered other small mechanisms. Although not fatal, they were covered in dirt and dust. Their originally bright appearance became miserable when they climbed out of the trap. Many people were poisoned or bitten by poisonous insects, and hurriedly called for light magicians to treat them.
One of the light magicians released several healing spells in succession, and found that his own sea of magic was drying up, and the light magic elements that could be mobilized from the outside world were getting fewer and fewer. He cried out in surprise, and other people who were attacking the trap and trying to remove it also found that their magic releases became unsmooth.
These traps did not pose much threat to the cardinal, and he destroyed many of them with just one move. Then he heard the voices of his men, looked up at the magic circle covering the entire city in the air, sensed it carefully, and his face suddenly became extremely ugly.
"Everyone be careful, this magic circle is a forbidden magic circle, magicians above the level of wizard, follow me to break the circle!"
"What? The Forbidden Magic Formation? No wonder my magic is getting weaker the more I use it. It's actually the Forbidden Magic Formation!"
"The Archbishop will definitely be able to break this formation, right?"
"Of course he can. The Archbishop is the magician closest to the God of Magic. A mere small formation will not be a problem for the Archbishop!"
Many people panicked and placed their hopes on the cardinal. There were all kinds of traps around him, and there was a magic-forbidden formation outside. How could they not panic? Without the magic element, a magician would be like a fish out of water.
At this time, the people who arrived at the second city were watching the live broadcast. In addition to various traps set up in the first city, many special cameras were also buried to broadcast the scenes in the city truthfully. Seeing the first wave of people being messed up by the traps, they laughed and rushed to identify who set this trap and how many people were trapped, who set that trap and how many people were trapped, trying to compare which guy was better at trapping people.
If people in a chaotic area don't have the ability to cheat others, how can they survive here safely? In the process of cheating each other, the ability to cheat others becomes higher and higher. This is called outsiders who have never seen these methods, and they have suffered a lot.
Especially those magicians who are good at dark and poison, the traps they set are even more insidious.
Ivan and Duan Linzhi themselves had never suffered from these traps, but that didn't mean they had no vision, so when the Church led people to attack, they let their men set the traps they were good at. As a result, after they left the city, the two lords had no idea how many traps there were in the city, so they could only let the enemies try it themselves.
The only thing that Ivan and Duan Linzhi tampered with was the Forbidden Magic Array, and this Forbidden Magic Array was improved and upgraded by them, which would surprise even the Cardinal.
Flynn and the others were hiding above the city and had a clear view of the scene below. They gloated over the misfortune and said, "They are really lacking in virtue. No wonder these guys are not welcome outside. Who can stand their methods?"
Some of the traps were so scary that even they were scalping, not to mention the mostly uninformed guys below.
David is also very good at magic arrays. He said, "This magic-forbidden array is a masterpiece. The person who set it up must be Magician You. He is very good at magic arrays."
Cheng Lianhui and Flynn wanted to be humble, but at this time the cardinal began to attack the formation and wanted to break it. Several magicians attacked with him. When their magic fell on the formation, the formation absorbed part of the magical energy in the flashing light, making the light of the formation shine even brighter.
Not only did the cardinal gasp and look at the formation in disbelief, Cheng Lianhui and Flynn also looked at each other and said in surprise: "This forbidden magic formation can also devour magical energy. Doesn't it mean that this formation will become more and more solid and unbreakable as they attack?"
David and the others were also looking at the reaction of the formation in shock. They could clearly feel that after the last round of attacks, the formation was indeed more solid. It was obvious that the energy of the attack could be converted into energy to maintain the formation. If they encountered such a formation, they would also find it extremely difficult.
David admired the skill of the person who set up the formation and said, "I don't know how the people below will break the formation, otherwise they will be trapped to death inside, not to mention that there are endless traps in the city."
Those who had been dragging their feet and had not had time to enter the city also saw the situation inside the city from outside. They were frightened and broke out in cold sweats. They were all terrified. Fortunately, they did not enter the city, otherwise they would have suffered the same fate.
The orcs' reaction was even more direct: "I told you that we shouldn't interfere in human affairs. What does this have to do with us orcs? Look how cunning and treacherous these humans are. They treat their own people like this. What if we let them turn their guns against us orcs? Can we handle it?"
"Yes, why don't we go back? The Orc Empire is just the dream of the Golden Family. In fact, the Golden Family is now just a name. It is no longer the powerful Golden Family. Why should they be so high and mighty and suppress us Orcs?"
"Yes, we should just go back and not get involved in human affairs. We shouldn't have left the Orc Plains this time. Although it's a bit barren there, we don't have to worry about being framed by these humans."
This view was shared by more and more orcs, so they directly integrated the team and turned to leave in another direction. The others behind them called them but they failed to stop them, including the orcs from the fox and rabbit tribes. They did not even care about the chief's daughter who followed Leo into the city. Many orc warriors admired them, but they would rather choose a human, and there were complaints within the tribe.
Flynn and the others shook their heads and sighed. The Orcs should not have been involved in this chaos, but Leo had used some means to convince them to leave the Orc Plains and set up some kind of Orc Empire. Now it seems that the Orc Empire is not worthy of its name.
The Archbishop discovered what they had discovered at the first moment of the attack, and his face turned even more ashen. No one had ever dared to treat him like this before, but now he was being tricked by these shady rats hiding in the Dark Continent. It was because he was so confident in his strength that he ran into this city on his own initiative.
The more this anti-magic formation was attacked, the stronger it would become, so he could only order the attack to stop and turned around to call on those who were good at magic to study how to break the formation. He also joined in, although he was not the best, but after years of practice he was not completely ignorant.
But those magicians studied from dawn to dusk but failed to find a way to break the formation. Instead, more and more people triggered the trap, and the number of injured and dead people continued to increase. In addition, the light magicians dared not wave their magic wands to treat them at will, and more and more people were poisoned to death. Now they have tasted the power of the chaotic area. No wonder ordinary magicians are unwilling to go deep into the dark continent.
Originally, the archbishop could have cured these people with a large-scale healing magic, but compared to other magicians, he cherished his own magical energy more, and watched those people die coldly without taking any action. Flynn and others who were standing above and watching could see that the so-called cardinal was nothing more than this.
When the next morning came, everyone who was still alive in the city was exhausted to the extreme, and the psychological torture was even worse.
The cardinal angrily shouted, "What fools! You still haven't figured out a way to break the formation?"
"It's not impossible, maybe we can try to dig a tunnel from the ground leading to the outside, and then get out through the tunnel."
"Or maybe we can let the people outside cooperate with us to attack the formation, and maybe we can break it."
"The Forbidden Magic Formation may only target magic, but it does not have much restriction on swordsmen. Why not let those swordsmen join forces to attack the formation, and perhaps it can be broken."
This was the solution they came up with after thinking for a day and a night. As for the formation, they could only find out that something was added to the forbidden magic formation, but they couldn't figure out what it was. If they didn't understand it, how could they break it from the formation? They could only borrow strength.
The cardinal's face turned pale and blue. Perhaps they paid too much attention to the magician's strength and ignored the knights who came with him. They did not call them when breaking the formation. Maybe it really could work.
If it was feasible, wouldn't it mean that a day and a night was wasted because of his negligence? And how many more casualties were caused in that day and night? This was hard for the archbishop to accept.
But his own life was more important. He didn't want to die here. He had to keep his life to succeed the Pope.
As for digging a tunnel to leave, that was the worst option. He was the future pope, how could he crawl out of the tunnel like a dog? He could not leave behind such an embarrassing scene.
"Hurry up and let the knight try it."
"yes!"
