Chapter 826, The End of the Orchid Flower
Facing the invasion of the Tzeentch Legion, the Garland Council was caught off guard from the beginning to the end, because in the view of the witches, Skydome is located at an altitude of 1,000 meters above the Roof of the World Mountain Range, and is protected by a magic barrier. It is possible to bypass the defense and directly attack the interior of the castle. Therefore, after the big rally, the Tzeentch Legion will suddenly appear in the castle, which no one expected.
And inside Sky Fortress, the only defenders are a group of more than 200 mercenaries—the Jialan Guards. This group of mercenaries was still very nervous when they heard the situation, and they called out carefully. After checking several outposts, it was discovered that there was an accident in the castle. The defenders knew that terrible things were happening inside the castle. The alarm bells and horns were enough to prove this. The mercenary captain hurriedly ordered the guards to Concentrated, the mercenaries who were resting in rotation hurriedly put on their armor, and many refugees also fled to the city gate, telling about the terrible situation in the city.
Although there are not many members of the Garland Guard Corps, they are indeed loyal fighters who have been tried and tested. They were specially selected by Margarita. A soldier from the Ostermark Alliance, he began to make his own judgment after receiving a steady stream of information. Since the entire castle was in flames and shrouded in witchcraft, Captain August immediately judged that he could not take it lightly. Instead of rushing forward with soldiers, they must gather their own troops and gather the routs to form an effective resistance and try to rescue the witches.
It has to be said that although Captain August's conservative decision made the rescue come slowly, his decision was correct in hindsight. The decision of the Garland guards to hide on the city wall and inside the city gate successfully made them Evaded the negative impact of the supreme magic spell released by Tzeentch God's Chosen Champion Cha-Zan Aike--Spooky Nova, and at the same time ensured that these soldiers were not separated to defeat them. When it fell into the hands of the Tzeentch Legion, August gathered about 400 people and equipped them all, and began to march towards the central tower, trying to defend the suspended bridge of the central tower and prevent the Tzeentch Legion from further attacking.
At this time, the Skydome is already extremely chaotic, half of the inner blocks have been destroyed, and the remaining half of the block also has many figures of Tzeentch Demons and Chaos Warriors. There are quite a few professionals with certain strengths, and the rest choose to crucify the doors and windows, hide in the house and constantly pray to the gods of the old world to protect them. Some lucky ones did escape the Tzeentch demon or Chaos The warriors searched, but the professionals, especially the witch apprentices and those professionals who came here to pick up the quest, united and fought tenaciously. Some lucky ones persisted until the arrival of Captain August, and some did not.
Rumors and panic spread wildly among the crowd, while the sound of fighting and burning flames seemed to be happening in all directions.
At this time, Teresa supported Aurora, and the sorceress labored to control the ice golem to move. Aurora's injury was much better after a simple bandage and medication. She could see that Teresa had arrived The limit: "Okay, daughter, remove the spell, I can walk by myself."
Teresa nodded, and the mother and daughter went down to the ground, and hurried over the chaotic neighborhood. Not far away, the central tower was shining with fire and various arcane torrents, and magical energy shot out in all directions, but it was very difficult. Almost disappeared.
"We were fooled." Aurora immediately reacted: "Teresa, it's not good, we were all fooled, Cha-Zan Aike, Tzeentch's god-chosen champion,
He wants to use our magical powers to summon Tzeentch! In order to summon the Great Demon, he emptied the wind of magic near Sky Castle, and he also deliberately let us release a lot of magic, let us release the little magic power stored in our bodies, so that he can better summon the Chaos Demon! "
"What?" Teresa also realized the problem, and the sorceress looked into the distance.
Sure enough, within the abandoned city, a ceremony to summon Tzeentch was beginning.
Some kind of sharp screams and distorted magic wind are explaining everything. In the high sky of the ruins, a mass of pure chaotic energy is constantly rising and condensing. A certain person wearing golden blue armor with wings on his back The bird-headed demon is gradually being summoned to the mortal world.
Teresa was a little confused. The sorceress glanced at the direction of the city gate, and then at the direction of the central tower: "Mother, what should we do now? Should we leave, or should we go to the central tower to meet the enemy?"
"Do you think we can escape if we give up here?" Aurora gritted her teeth: "Go back and defend! Only by going back and defending can we have a chance of survival. Three of the six wizard towers in the castle have fallen. Lorna has become a traitor! Our wizard tower is basically evacuated, and the only thing left with the teleportation array is the underground of the central tower."
Teresa didn't say any more, because the magic power was almost exhausted, on the one hand, the sorceress tried her best to absorb a small amount of magic power from the air, and on the other hand, she took out two fire guns from her body. The treasure of the Lamian family "Blue Beloved" obtained from the underground of the Relic Hall of the Justice Cathedral in Brunswick.
The female sorceress changed her combat style. Facing the enemies she met on the road, she and Aurora used the rune firecrackers in her hands to shoot as much as she wanted, and used her relatively agile speed to continuously dodge the enemy's spells. , the mother and daughter worked together to kill a bloody road and rushed to the central tower.
At this time, near the central tower, Garland Guard Captain August has led the last resistance force in the castle to gather together. Captain August led the halberd soldiers and sword shield soldiers to form a formation. The circle array resisted the attacks of Tzeentch's God's Chosen Warriors and Tzeentch's wizards. The few Jialan witches who were left gathered together and released spells at the enemy. The Tzeentch army opened fire.
There were also some mercenaries who broke out their last courage in desperation and took the initiative to fight the Chaos Warriors. They were soon killed by the Chaos Warriors' machetes, war halberds or giant axes.
On the pavement of cobblestones and large stones before the central tower, the black statue of Ludwig the Redeemer watched the terrible battle. The defenders united, they repelled the Raven Army and Tzeentch Wave after wave of troops from the magic army covered the entire road with corpses, almost making the road lose its original shape.
At this time, the disadvantages of Tzeentch's believers and Tzeentch's demon army that are not good at fighting head-on battles emerged. The Raven Legion tried to gather troops to storm the central tower but was repelled time and time again. When the Tzeentch wizards tried to open the way through magic , the joint spellcasting of the Jialan witches and the anti-magic equipment worn by the Jialan guards weakened their offensive.
Right at the height of the central tower, rays of scorching sun radiated from the device on the top of the tower, and the scorching rays swept across, sweeping the Tzeentch God's Chosen Warriors guarded by the Raven and those Tzeentch demons into pieces. Fragments, melted into slag.
The surviving survivors in Skydome also joined the battle. The chefs used kitchen knives, the servants carried brooms and shovels, and the shoemakers and bakers all carried sticks and improvised weapons, trying to stop the Tzeentch army. The offensive, the defense line is crumbling, but miraculously it is standing still.
Aurora and Teresa rushed under the central tower and joined the battle. The sorceress mother and daughter shot the enemy with firecrackers, retreating while fighting. At this time, Margarita was already driving her own bright car. The magic vehicle comes out to meet the enemy, and every shot of the light magic vehicle can instantly vaporize several enemies.
Captain August yelled motivational slogans, shuttled through the ranks, and awakened the morale of the defenders. After being caught off guard at the beginning, the people in the city were finally ready to fight. There was a fierce street fight on the street, and the armory in the central tower was opened. A large number of firearms that only witches can usually use and many of Margarita's treasured weapons were taken out and handed over to the guards. Many things have even been lost. One or two hundred years of artifacts, soldiers equipped with these weapons began to be able to penetrate the indestructible armor of the Chaos Warriors, and the artillery on the city wall finally began to aim at the Tzeentch Legion in the castle after a large correction. The roar of thunder and the bombardment of spells caused the Tzeentch army to retreat steadily.
Wherever Garland Speaker Margarita's light magic vehicle passed by, the guards and witches all erupted in cheers. Facing such a strong line of defense, the Tzeentch God's Chosen Warriors and the Tzeentch Demons seemed a little afraid to move forward. , Many Tzeentch fire demons hesitated to rush up, and the Tzeentch believers were also forced to retreat due to the small number of people. The only ones left were the Tzeentch wizards who were moving back and forth in the sky on a flying disc.
The changelings of Tzeentch were attacked by halberds, big swords or musket bullets, and where the hot rays on the central tower passed, those changelings all melted under the rays like ice and snow. Under the guidance of Margarita Next, it seems that the Tzeentch Demon Army can't hold on anymore.
In the end, after nearly an hour of hard fighting, Tzeentch's army was slightly defeated, withdrew from the block, and regrouped. Only then did Aurora have the opportunity to meet Speaker Margarita. The two had been fighting for decades. The old opponents looked at each other in silence, before Margarita had time to speak, the sharp roar almost shattered everyone's eardrums, and almost at the same time, a brand new strange nova washed over the entire battlefield!
Its power washed away all the people who had just erupted in cheers. Almost all the guards who were still high in morale before fell to the ground. They covered their heads in pain and wailed endlessly. However, many Jialan witches did not have abnormalities in their bodies. There was an explosion on the spot, and it turned into a twisted mass of meat in the colorful flames of Tzeentch.
On the contrary, the frustrated Tzeentch army regrouped in an instant, and both the Tzeentch demons and the Tzeentch believers burst into distorted cheers, the blessing of their gods came! Here comes their leader!
"Piercing Flame Arrow." Tzeentch's Chosen Champion, Za-Zan'ek descended on the battlefield from the sky. In an instant, all the spells of the witches were invalidated. Tzeentch's Chosen Champion raised his staff towards the top of the central tower. With one finger, the terrifying scorching ray and the defense devices that controlled it were all blown into ruins, and the top of the central tower was destroyed.
Tzeentch's army is back.
At this time, the defenders have reached their limit. With Zanek joining the battlefield, no one can resist his power. Even the light of exile released by Margarita can only stop Zanek for less than a day. In a matter of minutes, it was cracked under the insight of Tzeentch's God's Chosen Champion. One by one, Tzeentch's army shouted the name of Saint Tzeentch and charged forward. The power has placed Tzeentch's blessing upon the armies of Tzeentch, and the twisted creatures and followers of Chaos have regained their morale and strength.
Then, another strange nova swept across the field, something terrifying finally gained enough energy in the battle, and a giant fireball fell from the sky, smashing the entire line of guards into pieces, dozens of One guard was killed on the spot, and the rest lost their combat effectiveness or fled in a hurry.
A huge strange bird creature crawled out of the exploding fire pit.
The Great Demon Tzeentch, the ever-changing demon king, Sassoril, who will watch forever, comes to the battlefield!
The battle situation became worse and worse, and soon, the defeated army had already retreated to the vicinity of the central tower, relying on the ruined walls and other defensive devices of the central tower to barely resist.
Blue Beloved's bullets have run out, Teresa has finally regained a bit of mana, and the sorceress is trying to cast a spell, but she suddenly finds that her violet staff has grown eyes and tentacles under the corruption of chaos ! The staff that has followed him for decades made a sharp cry, and self-awareness appeared! It twisted back and forth, growling in pain, and stretched out its tentacles to attack its master! Teresa was so frightened that she immediately reached out and threw the Violet Staff away.
"Destroy the Molten Flow!" The first spell cast by Tzeentch, the ever-changing magic army, and Eternal Watcher Sassaureal shattered the entire floor of the central tower, and the remaining tower base and those solid granite structures Even with the blessing of magic, they have already cracked one after another, and the torrent of metal swept across the entire battlefield, and also defeated the last morale of the guards.
"Aurora, lead the people to evacuate, and evacuate to the depths of the central tower!" Amidst the chaotic witchcraft light and fire rain all over the sky, Margarita tried her best and exhausted all her mana to rise up A whole barrier of light: "Gialan's Great Curse! The Pyramid of Light Seal!"
The Tzeentch Demon Army was blocked from the outside. This barrier has been crazily attacked by the Tzeentch Demon Army since its birth, and cracks have appeared in many parts. There is only time to take a breath. Margarita immediately said to Aurora : "Retreat immediately, retreat to the underground of the central tower, activate the teleportation array, take everyone, retreat quickly! Leave this to me!"
"You?" Aurora was injured, and the female elder did not hesitate. She directed the remaining dozen or so Garland councilors and dozens of witch apprentices who were still able to move to retreat towards the central tower. :"What about you?"
"Me? The Garland Council is everything to me. It's gone, and I don't need to continue." Margarita smiled miserably: "If there is a chance, help me go to Nur and tell Ludwig , to tell his black stone statue in Nur that I will never forgive his choice, ever."
"I see!" Aurora noticed that the Pyramid of Light had many cracks, and even some parts had been shattered under the constant bombardment. Aurora didn't think too much. She led the remaining witches of the Garland Council They rushed to the depths.
Margarita stood in front of the central tower like this, she closed her eyes, recalled her life, then held the staff, manipulated her magic vehicle of light, and began to chant her last spell with life.
Aurora and Teresa led the last dozen female councilors and dozens of wizard apprentices into the central tower and headed deep underground. The turbulent sound outside and the roar of spells made everyone panic, but in the The underground teleportation array has been activated. Several apprentice witches have moved many precious magic books, various precious documents, and priceless treasures from Margarita's private treasury into the teleportation array. Seeing this, Aurora immediately signaled everyone to enter The teleportation array, the sanctuary witch began to overdraw her own blood power to inject magic power into the teleportation array, so that it can start up quickly.
"There are still thirty seconds!" Aurora screamed: "Teresa, pay attention to the door, seal the door!"
"Okay!" Teresa immediately closed the underground door and pulled the latch. She also began to overdraw the power of her bloodline to try to seal the door. There was a heavy bombardment from the other side.
The door was twisted open from the other side, the door bolt was cracked and bent into a half oval like a shrimp, the frost seal on it was smashed in one breath, Teresa spit out a mouthful of blood, and flew upside down He went out and fell on the cold stone floor.
All the Jialan witches and apprentices in the underground hall let out screams of fear, and they were already panicked.
"Boom!" The next second, the entire gate was shattered, and Tzeentch's chosen champion Cha Zan'ek appeared behind the gate, with a distorted smile on his face: "It's over, ladies! Welcome Board the ship to the realm of chaos!"
After finishing speaking, Zanek approached at a high speed, and with a flick of Tzeentch's twisted staff, the ice sword that Teresa had just summoned was swept away and flew out. The chest was stabbed fiercely: "The first ticket!"
"NO! Teresa! NO!!!"
