Astartes of the Bear School

Chapter 1447 1419. Profiteers harm people

In addition to the Ember Knights who were fully equipped for battle, as well as the summoned souls, the other servants and servants in Gaoqiu Castle were unable to sleep tonight.

They do not belong to the establishment of the Knights. According to the rules, they are just friendly assistance provided by Temeria to this "expatriate Knights".

As early as Lan En brought the news, Gaoqiu Fort had implemented a strategy of closing it to the outside world, so these handymen could not go out.

The atmosphere at night was obviously not right now. How could the knights getting ready hide it from the people who also worked and lived in the castle?

So as soon as evening came, the handymen felt the tension in the atmosphere.

Now, there is an indescribable excitement in the midst of anxiety. Looking at the sky-high flames outside the city wall, there are also terrifying battle roars and screams.

The cook in the castle walked out of the house cautiously, went to the courtyard inside the castle, and secretly found an observation hole under the city wall to peek out.

The Ember Knight patrolling the city wall just glanced at him, and the two even nodded to each other.

These handymen and servants in the Ember Knights are only those who are recruited nearby to do work. Those who are directly stationed here can basically be regarded as Temeria’s official personnel.

Both sides are already aware of this.

Originally, since we were stationed in other people's territory, it was reasonable to accept a certain degree of supervision from others.

Lan En didn't ask the Ember Knights to do anything to these people before leaving, so the Ember Knights naturally didn't pay much attention to them and just got along with each other as usual.

The cook was lying on the observation hole on the inside of the wall on the first floor of the castle, looking out.

The cook was very excited about this observation, because the observation report alone was enough for him to show his face in front of the king.

Outside is a large group of knights neighing and neighing. Although the siege equipment they made is rough, it is completely strong enough and meets the standards for use in any war.

On the key parts of the equipment, the blue metal is obviously magic-resistant gold, which is to prevent the equipment from being destroyed by possible magic.

But when the cook has just confirmed it through the luster of the metal, that should be the next moment to stop the magic gold!

"bump!!"

A ball of scorching hot fire that was constantly expanding flew out from the city wall and hit the trebuchet that was blocking the magic gold!

And when the fireball really hit the trebuchet, the cook was surprised to find that it was not a 'fireball', but a large ball of lava!

The spherical lava suddenly explodes after hitting the target!

The thick and thick shiny glue flowed down and accumulated in a large area where the trebuchet was!

The sound of burning wood and the crackling of wood fibers falling apart are endless.

"ah!!"

"witchcraft!"

The collapsing lava spread over a larger area and instantly enveloped the knights who were originally crowding around the trebuchet to operate it!

But not everyone's armor is capable of stepping on lava without feeling anything.

These people's calves and feet were immediately burned and merged with their boots!

Moreover, those injured tissues were burning and burning normally at a speed visible to the naked eye, and then, the burned flesh and blood became tangled, as if they were trying to grow into another shape that was definitely not human!

[Spell·Chaos Fireball]

This is a technology found in the spell book that Comicus found in the underground space in the mountains when he followed the people from the Deep Church to Irushil.

[Izaris Spell Book], the origin of spells and the birthplace of the Chaos Flame.

The external manifestation of chaotic flames is like exploding magma. But the inner meaning of this flame represents 'vitality'.

Just like Lan En felt from the flames of his own spell.

Izaris in the world of fire, the hometown of the ancient gods - the witches of Izaris.

It was because he wanted to create a flame that could replace the [First Fire], but the experiment went out of control. Then the Chaos Flame was born, and all the lives in Izaris were twisted into weird creatures by this flame.

It is the so-called [Devil] in the world of fire.

[Chaos Flame] is the flame that distorts life.

However, since it has been compiled into a spell book, it means that the once twisted and disorderly [Chaos Flame] should be controlled to some extent.

The spells recorded in the [Izaris Spell Book] no longer create twisted creatures, but rather burn them alive before they are twisted.

This is exactly the new thing Comicus wants to teach Lan En. He is very concerned about his identity as a teacher.

Leonard's [Giant Soul Arrow] and Archbishop Klimt's [Saint's Double-Pronged Spear] are not very powerful in dealing with equipment.

But it is completely enough to clean up the knights responsible for operating the equipment.

The magic and miracles that directly attack the soul made the knights who died around the trebuchet not even see any external injuries, and simply died silently.

When the [Chaos Fireball] was thrown down, the look in the eyes of the cook who looked into the peephole was still confused.

After all, he stayed in Gaoqiu Castle and knew that the witcher had something called an alchemical bomb.

This thing can be used by ordinary people, but it is expensive. If this is some kind of alchemical bomb, it seems reasonable that the Demonic Gold can't stop it. But then, there were giant arrows that glowed blue, and double-pronged guns that glowed white and dropped angel feathers.

By this time, the cook's eyes had stabilized, and he looked at the group of besiegers outside through the observation hole with a hint of pity for being taken advantage of.

Known: The ability of magic-blocking gold to restrain magic has been proven numerous times in various forms over the course of more than a hundred years of use.

It is also known that the thing that hit the enemy from the city wall must be magic.

So a conclusion was naturally drawn -

"It's so miserable to be tricked by profiteers, tsk tsk."

The cook was speechless, and from time to time he took a breath because he saw the damaging effects of spells, soul magic, and miracles.

"How dare you buy magic-blocking gold on the battlefield for cheap? What are you thinking?"

He tilted his head and spat.

But in my heart I felt pity for the group of people outside.

Because he also knows that these people who are actually going to the battlefield must want really good equipment. Unfortunately, the people who are in charge of purchasing are often not the people who are going to the battlefield.

So he just felt bad for these idiots.

In siege warfare, there are mages in the castle. They took so much magic-blocking gold, and they definitely didn't have a mage around them.

Then this is impossible to fight.

In the first minute after the war started, even a cook in Gaoqiu Castle had already seen the outcome of this conflict.

"Calm down!" Outside the castle, the knight commander commanding the siege shouted loudly, "We are under the protection of the eternal fire! These things cannot harm us!"

In the military formation that was frightened by the attack from the sky, the lava had just dimmed from the bright red color.

The corpses and the remains of the catapult were still in place, but the knight commander just shouted, and the rest of the people on the periphery just listened.

"Don't be afraid of the sorcery of mutant monsters! They can't do anything!"

"It was just that the magic gold was too far away from the mages! Push forward! The wall is only over three meters high! Push the equipment closer!"

"Only the unfaithful will be harmed!"

This statement is very consistent with the logic of the doctrine of eternal fire. You can be harmed by magic because you are not sincere.

In other words, this is in line with the logic of most religious beliefs.

"It seems," Sirius said to Leonard with words as soft and ethereal as the moonlight, "your magic did not cause enough shock, and they were lucky."

[Rosalia's ring finger], or should it be called [Gwen Aviya's ring finger] now.

Leonard sneered unhappily and did not respond.

"Magic-blocking gold can make warlocks unable to mobilize chaotic magic power, and it can also disrupt magic composed of pure magic power." On the contrary, it was Stewart who interjected at this time to explain.

"But it is impossible to weaken or interfere with things that have been created by magic. It is like a stone thrown by magic. Even if the magic disappears, the inertia of the stone is enough to kill someone."

"They may think your magic is that kind of thing."

"It's just useless hope." Sirius pressed his hand on the stabbing sword on his waist and said softly, "They don't look strong. They opened the main door and rushed out to dismantle the equipment."

The souls did not refute Sirius's statement.

After all, in the world of fire, any knight who has mastered [Soul Power] will not be killed by the aftermath of the collapse of the soul arrow. At most, the [Soul Power] will be exhausted.

But this is indeed the case for this group of attackers.

The torches whirred in the cold wind. The souls left the three people who had just used long-range attacks on the top of the city. The remaining Sirius and Hazel followed Maria and prepared to rush down directly out of the city gate. .

The Ember Knights who had been prepared for a long time also immediately followed after frowning at the beginning.

Although defending the city is definitely an advantage, since these strong men who were summoned by their masters are willing to take the lead in charging the battle, they also want to end tonight's battle as soon as possible.

"Wait a minute." Klimt called to Lincoln, who was about to go down and charge into the battle. "You haven't used all the summoning talismans that Lan En drew. It's a good habit to be cautious. Come on, use this one now. "

Lan En left behind eight parchments with summoning talismans, but now only five souls have been summoned. The other three Lincolns are intended to be used depending on the situation.

Now, Klimt took one out and handed it to the young scribe.

"It's just him. The ones just now are not suitable for charging head-on. I don't know Ms. Maria, but judging from her equipment, she should be similar to Sirius. This is just right, let him take the lead."
