The Amber Sword

Scene 463 The Battle of Mintai I

The violent explosion caused Bai Jia to lose consciousness for several seconds. When she woke up, there was still a buzzing sound in her ears, and her vision became dark red due to congestion and shook violently, but her mind was still clear:

Six-ringed string magic, two-headed snake——

The magic is cut into the north base of the tower at the eleven o'clock position.

The caster is within a hundred feet, and his strength is at least elemental enlightenment.

As an excellent string magician and elementalist, Bai Jia is no stranger to magic. The battles between players are more intense than this. She can also judge the number and location of spellcasters in an instant. This is An innate talent, one of the qualities that makes her a top spellcaster.

Bai Jia understands that the Two-Headed Snake is a twin-attack multi-stage spell. The magic power is compressed below the explosion point, and a secondary explosion will occur soon. This is a spell specially used to deal with enemies in buildings and fortresses. She still has a moment of chance.

The female knight used all her strength to lift off the rocks on her body, and endured the stinging pain all over her body as she climbed up from the ruins. A sharp pain in her chest made her almost see stars, and she didn't know how many ribs were broken. Moreover, there were large areas of burns on his arms, and the originally white skin was gray and black. The knight's system hung in tatters on his hands, and the metal armor was melted and twisted due to the high temperature.

But Bai Jia couldn't care less. She gritted her teeth and rolled down the tower, which had long been turned into a pile of rubbish. A dull roar came from the ground under her feet, and a huge force lifted her up. She was separated by more than ten meters. He fell heavily to the ground.

She groaned and coughed up a mouthful of blood, but immediately lowered her body. A series of explosions came from under the ruins of the tower. The hot wind almost scorched her back, and several pieces of gravel flew out and hit her shoulders. Immediately the flesh and blood became a blur. But Bai Jia stayed awake without saying a word, and stayed close to the ground - the ground shook violently, and the wizard who cast the spell didn't seem to care about his own people at all. The spell affected both sides fighting at the top of the city, leaving dozens of charred corpses on the ruins after the storm of fire.

"Miss Nimesis!"

"Your Majesty Commander!"

Screams of surprise echoed on the city walls. The different titles come from her fellow knights and subordinates of Cold Shirt Collar. During the fierce battle, people finally discovered the situation here and realized that their commander was still on the tower.

Bai Jia squinted his left eye, and blood flowed out of his eye, dyeing half of his cheek red. In his blurry vision, he saw someone running in this direction, and at the same time, a red flag was raised on the top of the city. That was Leto's commanding flag. The veteran of the November War decisively took over her command, and Bai Jia breathed a sigh of relief.

Another fireball exploded on the city wall. Several knights were killed in the flames, and more people were blocked on the other side. Looking at this scene with squinted eyes, Bai Jia knew in her heart that the other party had locked her position. It seemed that not only Overwell, but also the people around her had a traitor.

But this is not surprising. The little girl Nimesis was originally a member of the royal party. There is no guarantee that there are no spies planted by the royal party among her personal knights.

She remembered that one of the attendants was Overwell's second son, a young man who was one of Nymesis's many admirers. Bai Jia narrowed his eyes and remembered that the young man had volunteered to find out information before the battle began. Still haven't come back yet.

Presumably he won't come back.

Judging from the direction of the rebels' attack, they have at least crossed the Orta River. It is impossible for them to cross the Paris Fortress silently. It took them at least a week to arrange this attack plan - and they had to hide it from everyone. This shows that there is a problem with a crucial person in the whole process.

Bai Jia never thought that Overwell would betray the Corcova royal family. In the past history, this lone wolf of the kingdom even broke with the royal party and insisted on siding with the eldest princess. Finally died in the battle of Crimson Canyon.

He is the hero of the Eruin people. Why is there such a big deviation in history? Why do the Buga people have such magical power?

But there is no doubt about it.

The opponent's target should be her.

The Bugas wanted to break down the resistance of the Tonigels.

Bai Jia felt a little regretful. She should have followed Monica's advice if she had known this. It’s just that history has no ifs. It was impossible for her to think that she would fall into such a trap because she was just cooperating with Mintai's leader to retreat.

There is a tall tower at eleven o'clock. After several twists and turns, the place fell into the hands of the rebels. Bai Jia silently calculated the direction of the attack, while reaching his right hand to his waist and pulling out a crossbow from there. It was an exquisite weapon, with a crossbow body made of steel, and crossbow strings woven from animal sinews and oil-soaked fibers. The crossbow was also painted with magic patterns and magic circle markings. It was a weapon she made with her own hands. .

She brought the hand crossbow close to her mouth and tried to bite the bow string with her teeth. Then she took a magic-breaking arrow from the bracer on her wrist and pushed it onto the track with her chin.

Bai Jia hid the hand crossbow under her body, then took out another hand crossbow in the same manner, and loaded it with the inducing arrow she commissioned Tamar to make.

Finally, she pulled out a third hand crossbow from her calf. This hand crossbow was much larger than the first two and looked more like a light crossbow.

She opened her four bow arms and carefully pushed a black blade-shaped crossbow onto the track.

Bai Jia placed the three crossbows in front of him one after another, and then took a deep breath.

She seemed to be saying to herself:

"The rest is up to you, little girl. We don't want to die, right?"

"What a lucky guy."

The wizard in the tower on the other side saw Bai Jia escaping and thought it was a fluke. He jumped out of the tower with a staff in hand, and then landed lightly on the top of the city. At this moment, the battle on the city in this direction had long ended, leaving only the lingering smoke and charred corpses.

But a steady stream of rebel soldiers were ascending the city, and soon blocked the way forward. The wizard had a cold face, pushed with his hand, and an invisible force threw the soldiers down the city. The noble soldiers immediately exploded, but the knight among them immediately scolded these guys to prevent them from going up to die.

The knights looked at the wizard in red robes with some fear, and spontaneously asked their attendants to clear a path. There was such a strange scene on the city wall. A wizard went from "orderly" to chaos. Passing through the army, neither fast nor slow.

The streets in Mintai near the city wall were already filled with smoke and dust. The wizard slowly walked through the buildings that had been reduced to rubble, and soon saw the female knight lying motionless on the ground behind the smoke.

He recognized that it was the main goal of his trip. He pulled out a scroll from under the sleeve of his robe with a shake of his hand, stopped thirty or forty feet away, chanted in a low voice and pointed the staff at Bai Jia.

But at this moment, the female knight had already stood up from the ground, holding a hand crossbow in her hand, and without thinking, she directly pulled the trigger at him.

It was a well-refined action. It would be difficult for you to find such a perfect tactical action anywhere in Eruin or any lord's knight.

The owner of the hand crossbow once graduated from the Royal Knights Academy with the highest honors.

She is also the captain of the knights of Her Royal Highness the Princess.

At the age of nineteen, the female knight was already the leader among her peers.

Her name is Nymesis.

That cold-hearted knight lady is the unattainable dream lover in the minds of countless knights.

When the crossbow was in her hands, the fighting instinct returned to her.

She fired the induction arrow, and the crossbow arrow pointed directly at the opponent - it was a strong elemental level person, which meant that she might only have one chance to take action.

However, one chance was more than enough. The crossbow bolt hit the magic shield in front of the wizard, and the transparent spherical force field bounced off the steel crossbow bolt as expected. However, the induced arrow is made of unstable magic crystal inlaid on the arrow cluster, but when the unstable crystal is shocked, the magic power in it is released.

Such a release usually means an explosion, but the magic circle Tamar created on the crystal caused the magic to spread in an orderly manner, forming ripples.

Suddenly, a colorful light appeared around the wizard. Nimesis didn't need to look back to see the look of shock and anger on the wizard's face to understand what happened.

"The triggering spell has been induced, but there may be one or two life-saving triggering spells left, so be careful."

Bai Jia reminded Nimesis.

The female knight didn't stop at all and immediately picked up the second hand crossbow. When the wizard saw this hand crossbow, he knew that he had met the most despicable opponent-the witch hunter. But the information clearly stated that the other party was a knight. He secretly cursed the pagans who provided the information, gave up casting spells, and hurriedly retreated.

The Demon-Breaking Arrow was shot out in response, and hit his magic shield again. The magic's brilliance lit up again, and the crossbow arrow was bounced away as expected. However, this time, the shield on the wizard's body flickered and then shattered.

Demon-breaking arrows are made of cold iron. This kind of metal is very lethal to fey creatures and can also interfere with the operation of magic. After being processed by alchemists, they can often make shield spells withstand more than their load in an instant. attack and loses effectiveness.

It's a pity that the magic-breaking arrow production technology in this era is still stagnant. After the Slate War, the magic-breaking arrows made by mortals can often directly penetrate most magic shields.

"Damn it!" The other party's complete preparation caught the wizard off guard. He had already realized that the woman was luring him closer, but the other party obviously escaped by luck.

The wizard found it a little strange, but more angry. In the eyes of wizards, witch hunters were undoubtedly a despicable profession - training a witch hunter only takes three to five years, while the growth time of an excellent wizard can easily take ten years. computational. Being threatened by a witch hunter was like a noble gentleman being challenged by a lowly man, which made him feel humiliated.
