Chapter 1115 Linyuan Castle

Joan's final test on the Iron Maiden was the most ingenious.

He first changed into a bee man form, then flapped his wings and tried to fly inside the tower.

When he left the bottom of the tower with both feet and flew forward slowly, a miraculous scene happened!

The "iron maidens" surrounding his body unexpectedly also floated forward in sync with his flying movements!

Yes, "Dancing Sky Shield" cannot fly autonomously, but when the owner starts to fly, it can always fly with the owner.

Joan gradually accelerated his flying speed, and the "Iron Maiden" also flew faster, always surrounding him, keeping the relative distance constant.

Joan felt that it was inconvenient to conduct a flight test indoors, so he simply asked Duoer to open the window, and took the "Iron Maiden" out of the window, flying freely under the dusk sky.

His flying speed is fast and slow, the flying direction is left and right, sometimes swinging back and forth, sometimes sideways, and sometimes hovering in mid-air. His flying rhythm, response delay is almost zero!

After this round of testing, Joan couldn't help but feel elated!

The "iron maiden" accompanying him in flight is equivalent to providing him with an invulnerable protective cover. Even if he goes under the sea or in an area filled with poisonous gas, the "iron maiden" will still guard him faithfully and never leave the ground. surround him.

The "Iron Maiden" in the "Floating Shield Tower" mode has only one fly in the ointment-while isolating external attacks, Joan himself cannot directly attack the enemies outside the tower.

However, if he forgoes physical attacks and instead casts spells inside the tower, he will not be subject to this limitation.

With the help of the unique super-magic skill of "Spell Obstacle Surpassing", Joan can bypass the barrier of the "Iron Maiden" with spells and directly bombard the enemies outside the tower without paying any price!

Unless the enemy is good at teleportation spells such as "Any Door" and can cross the barrier of the crystal plate and directly enter the "Iron Maiden", otherwise they can only be beaten passively and cannot fight back at all.

In fact, even if the enemy teleports into the tower, Joan is not afraid, there are many ways to deal with it.

For example, he can transform into a giant bee and sting the intruder with the poisonous needle on his buttocks.

Or simply turn into a "snow monster", fill the space in the tower with steel-like muscles, crush the intruder into a painting, and squeeze out shit...

Uh, this countermeasure is a bit disgusting, so forget it!

Joan flew in the air for more than half an hour wearing the crystal steel cover.

It wasn't until it was dark that Duo'er waved his arms at the window, calling him loudly to go back to the laboratory for dinner, and then he put away the "Iron Maiden" with endless enthusiasm, folded it into a triangular plate the size of a plate, and stuffed it into the storage bag.

Joan is not satisfied with just testing the "Iron Maiden" on campus. Now he is eager to test the defensive effect of the "Iron Maiden" on the real battlefield.

Coincidentally, this opportunity will come soon!

...

Originating from the "Fountain of Absolute Beginning" at the North Pole, the Vermur River flows through Niflheim, the "Country of Fog" and Jotunheim, the "Country of Giants". "After entering the Midgard region, Garrewold branched out into a tributary called the "Mead River", which continued to flow south, while the main stream turned to the east coast and merged into the sea at Asa Bay.

On the western edge of the Midgard colony, just near the watershed between the Vymur River and the Mead River, there is a magnificent and fortified military fortress.

The fortress is backed by the "immemorial abyss" Jinlunga, so it is called "Linyuan Fort" by the locals.

Deep Fort is not only a bridgehead to monitor the border between Midgard and Jotunheim, but also an outpost to defend against the ferocious monsters and savage natives active in the Western Tusk Mountains.

The garrison headquarters of the Midgard colony was located in Fort Linyuan, and they did not hesitate to spend huge sums of money to build a "transportation station" that went directly to the colonial capital 400 miles away, which shows that the current garrison commander, Baron Benedict Laval The importance of this strategic location.

On July 4th, at 8 o'clock in the morning, the northern summer morning breeze carried a hint of coolness. Baron Laval led all the officers above the company level under his command to the military transmission station, ready to welcome a group of young visitors.

Like a teleportation station of Stonehenge, it is radiating magical aura soaring into the sky, and the thick stone pillars are buzzing and trembling, making people worry that they may collapse at any time.

This military teleportation station consumes a lot of energy, it can only be activated once a day, and at most two hundred fully armed officers and soldiers can be transmitted.

At this time, the teleportation station was operating at full capacity, and two hundred interns from Midgard University were brought from the university campus to the fortress to assist the local garrison in resisting the bandits from the western mountains.

As the weather gets warmer and the snow melts in the Fangfang Mountain, the "snow monsters" living on the Daxue Mountain can't stand their loneliness and become more and more agitated.

Especially after entering June, the snow monsters even joined forces with the more cunning and dangerous winter wolves, and went down the mountain to plunder the settlements of the colonists. Wherever they passed, all the food and livestock were looted, and the local residents The casualties were heavy.

It has only been more than a month, and half of the nearly one hundred mountainous villages and towns in the west of Linyuanbao have been ransacked by monsters. Some small-scale settlements have less than a hundred residents, and even entire villages have been looted. Killing the mouth, it is utterly tragic!

The disaster-stricken villages and towns are in urgent need of rescue, and the other villages and towns that have not been attacked by monsters are also frightened. Everyone is in danger, and they frequently ask for support from the garrison of Linyuanbao.

The total number of troops stationed in Linyuanbao is less than 4,000. Only two cavalry regiments are regular troops, and two infantry regiments are composed of militia recruited locally. They are far inferior to the regular army in terms of equipment, military discipline, and combat effectiveness.

With these troops, they can still stick to the fortress and support nearly a hundred surrounding towns separately, but it seems powerless.

It is true that Linyuan Castle urgently needs to replenish its troops, but Sir Laval, who was born in a military aristocratic family, does not think that recruiting a large number of militiamen will solve the problem.

The so-called militiamen, in fact, many people have not received the minimum military training at all. Yesterday, they were farmers wielding hoes in the fields, and today they went to the conscription office to report to collect their pay.

Such a mob was fine against ordinary wild beasts or bandits, but they were useless against snow monsters, winter wolves, even frost giants and white dragons.

Baron Laval believes that instead of recruiting such "cannon fodder" in large numbers and making meaningless sacrifices, it is better to issue an internship mission at Midgard University, recruit elite students to serve in the barracks, and assist the garrison in sweeping up the monsters coming from the western mountains with the bandits.
