Chapter 666 Sand Giant
"It seems that my warning had no effect."
Lothar looked at the corpse collector in the crowd who was cautiously approaching the city wall.
With his current mental strength, although this spellcaster's cover-up is clever, his astral body, which is far more powerful than ordinary people, is still as eye-catching as a firefly in the night sky.
"give it to me."
Viviana bit her lip, pulled out the knight's sword from the sheath, and laid it horizontally in front of her. A row of white magic candles appeared on the sword, and the figures below the city were reflected in the fluttering candle flames.
She let out a light breath, and the flame of the spiritual candle quickly burned downwards, and the shed tears piled up into a hill.
Lothar could sense that as the candle flame burned, the figures reflected in the candle flame, and the vitality of the casters hidden under the city were also burning rapidly, as if the moment the candle took shape, what was lit was the reflection of the enemy. s life.
Is this the candle burning and the shadow extinguishing? Isn't it a light and shadow spell?
boom--
A series of torches exploded in the crowd. Among them, the caster with the strongest mental power exploded in an extremely wide range, directly affecting more than ten people nearby, scaring the corpse collectors to roll and crawl. Ran away.
"You are really good at this spiritual candle spell. It's not just a simple fire spell. Is it inherited from the Hohenzollern family?"
Viviana shook her head: "Not entirely. The family's spiritual candle spell is incomplete. No one in the family except me still uses this spell. I completed my spiritual candle spell myself."
What a genius!
Lothar couldn't help but praise: "He is indeed a Candle Knight who can be as famous as the Brilliant Knight."
"You flatter me."
Viviana shook her head, her face a little pale.
After all, she is just a magic warrior, not a magician, and cannot control the aftermath of the spiritual candle spell.
She would not have much psychological burden in killing the spell caster, but many of those body collectors were just civilians who were forced to join the battlefield.
As for more sophisticated swordsmanship, it is simply impossible to deal with these enemies in time.
Lothar subconsciously wanted to pat her shoulder, but she stretched out halfway and then retracted.
"Sorry, but I can't take action now."
So far, what Lothar has shown is that he has swordsmanship and physical strength that are beyond ordinary people. He can be regarded as a warrior with good combat capabilities. Even the fire spell he learned from Anna has only shown a small part, and it will not be excessive. Being clumsy will arouse Mahamu II's suspicion, but will not make him think that he is a threat.
The enemy is overt and we are in the dark, this is an opportunity.
The corpse collectors retreated, most of them retreating safely, not because Lothar was too merciful, but to save ammunition.
No one informed, but everyone knew that the ridiculous armistice agreement had come to an end.
The defenders at the city head quickly stuffed food into their mouths and hid behind the battlements and towers, waiting for the emperor's orders.
With the roar of artillery fire, a new round of brutal offensive and defensive battles began.
The whizzing shells looked like Thor's hammer.
Lothar and Viviana did not hide. They stood side by side, under the four beta flags.
Several stone bullets flew past him, carrying roaring air currents and hitting the city wall.
At first, Lothar felt that Viviana and Lavinia were very similar. They were both idealists, abide by their duties, kind, and righteous. All kinds of beautiful words could be used to describe them.
But now I feel that they are completely different.
Lavinia is used to seeing darkness, but still sticks to the light, while Viviana has been exposed to too little of the dark side.
"If you still feel the psychological burden is heavy, treat this as a real trial."
Is the simulated war world real?
Lothar tends to be.
But no one can step into the same river at the same time. Lothar believes that a time node, after being changed by outsiders, will form a distinct parallel time and space with the original timeline.
A time paradox like traveling into the past and killing your infant self would never happen.
Viviana glanced at him with some doubts, as if she wanted to confirm whether what Lothar said was true.
Lothar did not directly respond to the other party's doubts, but just said: "I have conducted such a trial with the Glory Knight before. We failed the first time and succeeded the second time."
Viviana breathed a sigh of relief: "I'm sorry, I will work hard to overcome it."
The artillery fire gradually subsided. The impact of these long-range siege engines on the defenders was very limited, and the duration of each bombardment also gradually shortened.
Those huge iron-covered siege towers with fireproof formations were pushed out again. Behind the siege towers and shield carts, there were Ottoman soldiers crowded under the bunkers. They wore Zha armor, chain mail, and With their peaked helmets or turbans, they were obviously no longer the cannon fodder soldiers they had during the previous day's attack.
boom--
The ground suddenly trembled.
Huge figures appeared from a distance. With seemingly slow steps, they soon crossed a distance of several thousand meters and arrived at the Ottoman camp. Ottoman carriages, horses, and soldiers hurriedly rushed to the Ottoman camp. These behemoths moved out of the way.
Although compared with the majestic giant dragon that is prostrate on the ground like a hill, these huge figures appear to be as small as children, but with a little comparison, you can find that these are all over ten meters tall. , a huge giant.
A golden light flashed, and the figure of the Ecumenical Patriarch appeared on the city wall. His lips trembled a little: "Your Majesty, it's the sand giant! It is said that as long as they touch the city wall, they can turn the city wall into sand and collapse."
Lothar frowned: "The Theodosian Wall will also?"
"This... shouldn't be possible."
The Patriarch was not sure. He was not an orthodox spellcaster. The use of holy light was not the same as spells. Moreover, even if he was a regular spellcaster, he couldn't figure out how strong this city wall could withstand.
"Whether it will or not, try not to let them get close to the city wall. Bombard them with crossbows and small artillery. If they get close, it's time for the church's spellcasters to take action and try to stop them."
The Patriarch did not refuse, and nodded in response: "As you wish, Your Majesty."
The sand giant looked very similar to the earth giant that Lothar had seen before. They both had a heavy temperament, but their momentum was looser, but it didn't mean that their strength was weaker.
In Lothar's perception, the strongest one among them had a more powerful aura than the demonic giant with divine nature that he had killed in Turin and almost caused chaos.
The land where they passed had obvious signs of desertification.
They were just walking slowly at first, but when they were halfway through, they raised their hands and condensed huge boulders made of gravel, and threw them towards the Theodosian Wall.
Whoosh--
Compared to artillery and catapults, the giant's hurling stones were like bombs for targeted explosions.
The flying gravel could even become a deadly weapon.
The old and frail spellcasters under the jurisdiction of the Orthodox Church came to the top of the city under the protection of their servants. In recent years, with the decline of Roman power, the number of spellcasters under the jurisdiction of the church has also been declining.
The Ecumenical Patriarch also raised the scepter covered with pearls and gems.
A small-caliber cannon accurately hit a sand giant, but the shells only passed through the sand giant's body. Not even a drop of blood flowed from the wound. Countless gravel surged and soon recovered.
"Viviana!"
Lothar looked at the female knight beside him with a solemn expression.
She nodded slightly, then took a slow step, like a fluttering white flower, and flew down the city wall.
At the same time, those aging Orthodox spellcasters also launched an offensive, and colorful spells flew like fireworks towards those seemingly unstoppable giants.
