Chapter 441 Will the Imperial Army Use the Empty City Strategy?

"Super class?" Everyone was confused for a moment, but unfortunately most of the mages and apprentices were quickly dismissed by Master Poincare, leaving only Snow, Caroline and Rorschach who claimed to have just swam from the Seine.

After casting [Mirror Flower Water Moon] for a long time, he was indeed wet all over.

"It's the ten-ring magic! I counted twice, and all eleven rings of the Tree of Truth were lit!"

Rorschach and Caroline knew that the "Tree of Truth" in the master's mouth referred to the Tree of Law. Poincare changed his face after a little thought, and only Snow, who drank the fifth bottle of concentrated purple potion, burped in confusion.

"Have you reached the original layer? Seen the giant tree growing upside down? Is the legend true?"

Kano ignored the three questions from another great wizard: "The point is! Ten rings! Super class! Spell!" He calmed down: "Although the nodes on the last two rings are still very weak, they have begun to flicker. Even if it requires a large-scale ceremony, it is probably in the preparation stage and may be activated at any time."

The audience present were all tingling. Even if the possibility of the long-lost, legendary super-class spell reappearing in the world is extremely small, they cannot ignore it, because Kano has firmly stated that it is a necromancy system.

According to historical records, the appearance of the super-nine-ring spell suspected to be a necromancy system was at the end of the second war of gods and before the great extinction of the symbolic world. A deadly plague swept across the continent and took away lives that even exceeded the lives affected by the war between gods.

Even this tiny possibility was not allowed to be missed.

"What means are there to detect? Inform the guild and then start divination?" Poincare's brain was working rapidly. However, his proposal was interrupted by Kano:

"We cannot report to the guild, as it may leak information and alert the spellcasters and make them hide." Kano knew more about the current magic guild than Poincare, who was simply researching and teaching in the Starry Tower. He chose a step-back plan: "Let the Time Tower, which has divination methods, try it, and then notify the Forest, Storm, Light and Dark Towers."

"And the Secret Tower." Caroline reminded.

The Archmage rejected: "No, the mages under Feuerbach may not be reliable now. Inform these mage towers first and ask them to keep it secret. We should even inform the Order Church, no, I will tell those charlatans after I give my order."

In addition to the notification, the existing forces of the Starry Tower must also take action and take measures. However, the only clue now is "suspected necromancy", and it may even be the resurgence of the Mother Earth Cult. After all, His power also has reincarnation and cycle of life and death.

The second most suspected person is the well-known necromancy archmage and the chief of the Imperial Army. Currently, the Holy Kingdom and the Empire are at war. If he can really ignore the deterrence and checks and balances of the Holy Kingdom's Grand Mage and cast a ten-ring spell, he may be able to overturn the current situation in an instant.

"Heartless!" Kano was still cursing on the way to the Starlight Torch Tower in the speedboat. The first thing to consider is to protect Valuvana, which is naturally the most likely target for the enemy to cast super-class magic.

Because he didn't know what kind of spell the "sword" hanging over his head and not falling was, the defense fell into a great passive position. Fortunately, Valuvana had a glorious history of withstanding the attacks of the rioting archangels, and the combination of the Starlight Torch Tower amplifier plus Rorschach was worth relying on.

But what if the heart of the Republic was not the primary target?

When approaching the destination, the speedboat slowed down, and Rorschach could see clearly that the pastoral streets where nobles and chief justices used to stroll had been erected with guillotines, and the passers-by were all in tattered clothes and hurried, stepping on the blood flowing on the stone bricks without any care.

Caroline was deeply shocked by this scene.

"Good news! Good news!" The crisp cries of the newsboys filled the streets, and pedestrians became energetic, expecting what kind of victory the newsboys would shout out.

The children waving newspapers responded to this expectation: "The main force of the National Guard captured the Moncado Fortress and recaptured the capital of the Condi Region! The liberation of the motherland is just around the corner!"

Ordinary people cheered, but the wizards who heard the same news were shocked. Kano, who had been paying attention to the war, knew that even if the National Guard had achieved "victory" with difficulty in the first two battles, this army put together on the spot would never be able to easily take down the fortress from the Imperial Army.

Now the main force of the National Guard is concentrated in one city, and the Ten Rings of Necromancer are preparing. The last time the chief of the Imperial Army appeared was when the Imperial Army defeated the Church's holy war team, and he showed signs of going south.

A terrible idea took shape in Kano's mind. He was not afraid of the spell itself, but the choice appeared in front of him - should he concentrate on guarding Valuana or go to the Moncado Fortress?

Many clues point to the latter, but what if he made the wrong choice? Kano is the chief of the Starry Tower. At this moment and in the future, he is the only one who can be responsible for this decision.

The wind from the river blew in his face. Kano, who had just experienced the stars, took a deep breath and put his hand on Rorschach's shoulder: "If there is no amplification from the Starlight Torch Tower, can you stop the Ten Rings spell?"

"I want to know, so let me try."

"Master Rorschach," the young man saw that his teacher rarely had such a serious look in his eyes: "This is not the time to say 'try' easily. I don't know your position, which country you support, what system.

"I must tell you that if the Ten Rings necromancy spell is really launched, a wizard will kill tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands or even more civilians, which will cause serious harm to both the caster and ordinary people, and cause irreversible consequences.

"Today is different from the past. Everyone will remember this tragedy. The trauma cannot be healed by magic.

"So you must do your best to stop it, okay? Please."

"I understand, the student union will."

In the outer suburbs of the Condi capital, two officers stood on the last commanding heights of the Moncado Fortress.

"I don't understand, the fortress that was built so hard was just given up to others!" Lieutenant Colonel Oogway put down his telescope and said angrily. Due to his outstanding performance in the second battle, Hench was promoted, and now there are two Colonel Richards in the Imperial Army.

However, after completing his second masterpiece - repairing and strengthening the Moncado Fortress, what awaited him was the order to withdraw the army from the Conti capital. Faced with the siege launched by the National Guard, the Imperial Army was just ordered to act, fighting and retreating and almost slipped out of the area.

"Richard's Group" was in the rear column and watched the Valois take back their fortress and city.

"It's an order from above."

"The general is a fool!" Hench cursed and coughed twice after getting emotional.

The Imperial Army seemed to be suffering from widespread acclimatization. During the renovation of the Moncado Fortress, the number of illnesses increased day by day, and Hench also contracted a cold that was not getting better.

The other Richard who obviously slept with him remained healthy. He shook his head: "It's still up there."

"The headquarters are also fools, especially the stupid marshal. Everyone knows that he has a good friend whose occupation is the crown prince."

Richard still shook his head: "It is said that there will be more."

"." Hengqi lit a cigarette: "I suddenly realized that His Majesty's decision was very wise. This was to lure the enemy deeper and cultivate their arrogance, making them think that even a siege can be easily won.

"When they rush out of the city to pursue them, we can catch them by surprise." It's a pity that he has never seen the Three Kingdoms, otherwise he could have found more angles to praise them from above.

Although the troops did not wait for the National Guard to leave the city after the break.

"Sir, the troops are setting off!" A third horse came from the top of the mountain, and the junior officer reminded the two that it was time to set off. The junior officer hesitated for a while and decided to report a situation: "Major Schmidt has not returned to the team."

Richard (France) and Schmidt made great achievements in breaking the fortress together. He and Schmidt both knew that there was an ancient mage's secret room under the Moncado Fortress.

Does he want to explore the secret room? Or is it a trap? Before the other two people could react, Richard said, "I know where he is, you go first," and then jumped down the hill on horseback.

"Tsk, tsk, you jumped from such a high place." Hench watched Richard rushing towards the fortress and asked the junior officers to join him in the team: "Don't worry about the two mages in vain. At this speed, the colonel can return to the team at any time. ”

Richard didn't know that in addition to his comrades, his teacher and the chief of the army were also in the secret room in the Moncado Fortress.
