Chapter 1492 Water Attack
"Just do as you say!" Joan took the scroll from Weiss, feeling a little excited.
After Weiss left, Joan immediately unfolded the scroll and spread it on the desk.
As Weiss said, the 6-ring "Earth Movement" belongs to the two categories of "natural magic" and "arcana". There is no encrypted mark, and Joan can directly copy it into his spell book.
"Earth motion", similar to "shaping stone" and "magic workmanship", is often used in construction engineering industries such as bridges, roads, and houses, so it is also generally called "engineering spells", and its common feature is that it can replace complex crafts Or heavy labor, which greatly saves manpower and material resources and speeds up the efficiency of engineering construction.
Among all these engineering spells, the 6th-level "Earth Movement" is one of them, if not the most powerful one!
The abnormality of this spell is that it can handle a huge amount of earthwork with just one cast!
How abnormal is it?
Casting the "Earth Movement" once can change up to 750 x 750 x 20 cubic feet of soil terrain, which is 11.25 million cubic feet of earth!
The caster can decide what to do with the dirt at will, such as digging a trench to tunnel, moving a hill, building or destroying a dam.
A simple calculation is not difficult to know that as long as one "earth movement", it can replace the engineering volume of 1,000 strong laborers for hundreds of days!
If the spell "plant growth" is worth an agricultural revolution, then the status of "earthquake" in the construction industry is equivalent to the status of "plant growth" in the field of agriculture. It reflects the impact of magic on productivity from different aspects. huge boost.
With great excitement, Joan transcribed the 6-ring "Earthquake" into his spell book.
In the following time, he and Weiss went to the upper reaches of the swamp in the rain, surveyed the environment along the Delin River, and chose a location that was most suitable for water storage and flood discharge.
The river that flows into the Great Swamp, in addition to the main stream of the Delin River, has two smaller tributaries. Joan and Weiss chose to intercept one of the tributaries to build a dam, so as not to cause the downstream to stop flowing and alarm the goblins in the valley.
At the same time, Joan did not ignore the investigation of the goblin army downstream. When the sun went down, the army of three thousand goblins entered the winding and narrow valley area as he expected.
Letu was still very vigilant, and sent wolf riders to investigate first, paying special attention to the cliffs on both sides of the valley, lest there be ambushes on the mountains.
As for the lizardman cavalry battalion stationed at the edge of the swamp ahead, Letu knew it well two days ago.
In the view of this hobgoblin lord, if Weiss's troops came out halfway to intercept his army, it would be purely suicidal, and he didn't mind using this opportunity to eliminate the lizardman armed forces. It would be best if Weiss could be captured alive , to lay the foundation for annexing the cold-blooded tribes in the future and expanding the scope of their strength to the swamp area.
At the same time as Letu led the troops into the valley, on the river bank twenty miles away, Weiss unfolded the scroll in his hand and was casting the "Earth Movement Technique".
To cast this six-ring spell, it takes at least ten minutes to perform the ceremony.
During this period, Qiao An was not idle, and used the 3-ring "Powerful Phantom" to hide the dam that was slowly rising from the ground, lest the enemy scouts who might fly through the air notice the anomaly.
Ten minutes of tense atmosphere finally reached the last second.
The scroll in Weiss' hands ran out of mana and turned into ashes.
After wiping off the rain on his forehead, Weiss turned and walked to Joan's side.
"Dr. Vader, it's time to manipulate the water level."
Joan nodded, took out the "water control wand", and stimulated all ten rounds of energy in one breath, and the river water rose sharply under the traction of magic power.
Joan spread out the palm of his left hand, silently absorbed the energy of "Tears of God", consumed 10 "Power of Myth", and refilled the "Wand of Water Control" with energy.
Next, he raised his magic wand expressionlessly, and "manipulated the water level" ten consecutive shots!
The rising river had already flooded the ankles of Joan and Weiss, and the two had to move to a higher place.
"Dr. Vader, thank you for your hard work, let's see mine next!"
Weiss rubbed his hands together and began to cast spells.
Not long after, the seven "controlling water levels" that Weiss prepared today were all exhausted. The violently rising river was already close to the edge of the dam, and the vertical height difference from the downstream channel was nearly 20 feet, forming a suspended reservoir that seemed to collapse at any time. Looking from a distance, it is frightening.
"Mr. Vader, it's time to tear down the dam!"
Weiss' eyes were shining brightly, and his voice couldn't help trembling slightly because of the coming man-made natural disaster that would cleanse away the evil.
Joan glanced at the water level, shook his head expressionlessly, and handed a bundle of scrolls to Weiss.
"Uh, what is this?" Weiss took the scroll at a loss.
"Manipulate bodies of water."
"Huh? The eight scrolls are all 'manipulating water bodies'?"
Weiss' eyes widened.
Joan nodded.
"Where did you get so many scrolls?"
"Copied it last night."
Weiss couldn't help hissing, suspecting that Joan didn't sleep at all last night!
However, this cannot be explained, how could he regain his mana if he didn't take a good rest?
The young lizardman patriarch shook his head with a wry smile, and had to give up trying to find rationality from this "monster", unfolding the scroll and focusing on casting spells.
Only two scrolls of "manipulating the water body" were used, and the accumulated flood flooded the top of the barrage dam, pouring down the trapezoidal outer wall of the dam like a waterfall.
"Dr. Vader, this is enough." Weiss planned to return the remaining six scrolls to Joan.
Joan waved his hand and told him in a calm and almost cold tone: "You take the remaining scrolls. After the flood breaks the embankment, continue to cast spells to raise the water level and give the enemy troops downstream a more lasting impact. Every time the flood One minute more can reduce the enemy's combat strength, which is equivalent to reducing the pressure on the garrison in Delin Town."
so ruthless? !
Weiss couldn't help breaking out in a cold sweat, secretly glad that this Dr. Vader is on his side, anyone who is against him will be really bad luck for eight lifetimes!
Joan didn't say much, and unfolded the "Earthquake" scroll, and calmly recited the spell.
"Kemen!"
The ten-minute long casting ceremony finally came to an end. When Qiao An chanted the last word symbolizing "earth", as if a certain switch was activated, the magnificent dam across the river collapsed without warning!
Accompanied by the deafening roar, the entire dam fell apart, and hundreds of thousands of square meters of sediment mixed into the river water that broke the embankment, forming a turbid torrent, like a black dragon with teeth and claws, roaring and rushing downstream!
Witnessing this terrifying scene of landslides, Joan, Weiss, and the dragoons of the cold-blooded tribe on the shore were all dumbfounded in shock.
