Chapter 219: Ahn'Qiraj's promotion, the fall of the castle [Subscribe]
This magic vortex came and went quickly.
Almost as soon as it was formed, it quickly converged and disappeared.
At the same time, in the Magtan City Mage Tower.
Ahn'Qiraj Lord, who was in a state of enlightenment before, suddenly opened her eyes, as if awakened from a dream.
Her eyes became particularly bright and energetic, and the surging mental power naturally radiated around.
With just a thought, the mental power can be transformed into substance and extend to a hundred meters away.
This is a sign that the meditation method has entered the fourth level!
It means that Ahn'Qiraj has officially broken through the shackles of the third-level spellcaster and become a fourth-level great mage!
You must know that the fourth-level spellcaster is more powerful than a simple gold-level magic practitioner.
The former is a reckless man, while the latter is a real spell turret on the battlefield.
The level is just a system, not an absolute standard for measuring strength.
Just like most non-superior monsters are generally half a level weaker than the natives of Naroa.
The fifth-level regular monsters are against the gold-level magic element practitioners.
But if it is a fifth-level magic dragon, it can usually beat the gold-level magic element practitioners.
The difference in strength is huge,
but the black dragon Bailey is an exception, because it has not yet recovered to its prime.
At present, it is only slightly stronger than the ordinary fifth-level monster guard.
And it is about to be promoted to the sixth level in its prime.
In contrast, the fourth-level spellcaster in the system of the natives of Naroa can completely match most of the fifth-level monsters, and can be regarded as a figure even in the giant city.
After all, Ahn'Qiraj, who was stuck at the peak of the third level before, is enough to sit in the city of state.
The spellcaster takes one step at a time, and each upgrade brings huge changes.
Mental power brings a series of changes, including comprehension ability and detailed perception.
The previously obscure spellcasting tips have now become particularly thorough.
Apart from these details, the most important thing is the spell promotion.
At this time, Anqila can already understand the mysteries of the fourth-level large-scale magic.
During the long period of bottleneck, she was not idle and studied some fourth-level spells.
The mysteries that could not be understood at that time are now all natural.
I don’t know if this can be regarded as a result of accumulation.
High-level large-scale magic is comparable to natural disasters, and it can easily cover hundreds of meters or even kilometers.
Using elemental traction, it can set off lightning, thunder, violent storms, and a sea of fire.
Its power is definitely not comparable to low-level single magic.
This is also the real strength of the fourth-level archmage.
I sensed the various changes after the promotion in my mind.
Anqila Lord couldn't help but sigh with emotion.
She stood up gracefully, and her body seemed to have its own repulsion, and those suspended particles and dust could not get close to her.
This is a manifestation of the passive interference of mental power in reality.
At this time, the Mage Tower opened the magic shield, like an elliptical and slender ball of light standing in the first circle.
Walking down the tower slowly, Ahn'Qiraj found his deputy and asked about the current situation.
"How is the battle now?"
"Have the monsters invaded the town?"
"Where is the master?"
For the first time in so many years, she took off her hood and removed the disguise of an old woman.
She returned to the stubborn face with short wine-red hair, fair and delicate skin, and small and delicate eyebrows.
The years have not left too many traces on her.
At this moment, her appearance is like a young girl who has just reached adulthood.
This made the deputy of the Mage Tower, a third-level middle-level mage named Brett Coelho, stunned.
Then he reacted in a daze.
"You... are you the president of Ahn'Qiraj?"
Brett looked at the emblem on her chest and the familiar robe, his face full of surprise.
The two sides have worked together for several Naroya years, and he has never seen the lineup of Anqira.
The question that came out of his mouth was not answered, and Brett took a few steps back in shock.
"..."
"You have been promoted!"
His keen perception allowed him to discover the changes in Anqira.
Especially the natural suppression brought by the promotion of mental power, which made Brett feel a little panic.
In response, Anqira just nodded slightly.
Brett in front of him was also contracted by Chen Xuan as the deacon who controlled the Mage Tower of Bang City.
So there was no problem asking about the "master" in front of him.
And now Anqira Lord is in a good mood.
The depression caused by the inability to promote for many years has disappeared at this moment.
The big stone in her heart finally fell to the ground.
It was not until now that she realized that letting go of the obsession with the fragments of the Rose Key and understanding herself was the real way of practice.
She lost the opportunity to get the fragments of the phantom of the Rose Key, but she freed the shackles in her heart.
She was able to focus on the promotion.
She also had some enlightenment after witnessing the field of [Time Slows Down], breaking the shackles of dust in one fell swoop.
This was not a bad thing for her.
In the future, Ahn'Qiraj would have the opportunity to witness a higher and farther new world.
This made her feel refreshed, and even her mood became particularly happy.
As for signing the contract and becoming Chen Xuan's slave, she did not have too many troubles about it.
Being a slave was relative, and the key was to see who was enslaving her.
Angira was convinced by Chen Xuan, and she knew who was the real variable in this world.
Looking at Brett, whose expression changed several times, she didn't say much.
This guy had worked with her for several years, and most of the time they got along relatively plainly.
I still remember that when Brett first came to the Bangcheng Mage Tower to work, he had just entered the third level.
At that time, he respected Anqila, the senior.
Later, after Brett practiced from the early stage of the third level to the middle stage, his attitude changed subtly.
In his eyes, Anqila was a "retirement" spellcaster who could not break through the shackles.
There were many such spellcasters in the giant city.
But he didn't expect that at this moment, Anqila directly gave him a big shock.
After a few seconds of silence, Brett, who was a little distracted, reacted.
He bowed and saluted quickly, and reported the latest situation to Anqila truthfully.
"The master is not in the city, and his whereabouts are unknown."
"The latest news is that the monsters have broken through the third circle of defense and are invading the circle."
"In addition, there are unusual movements in Axo Manor, and there is a suspected ritual altar for large-scale teleportation."
"Just over 20 minutes ago, tens of thousands of monsters suddenly descended there, and they are now launching a fierce attack on the Baron Castle!"
Talking about business, Brett couldn't help but become serious.
As the first circle, the location of the Mage Tower is exactly opposite to Axo Manor.
In this circular core city area, the Baron Castle is located in the center.
Hearing this, Anqila Lord frowned immediately.
"The master is not in the city?"
"We must not let the castle fall!"
"Brett, summon the remaining spellcasters in the tower, and follow me to support!"
The monsters and the defenders of Magtan City are far apart in strength.
It is difficult to win in a head-on confrontation.
This is the consensus of everyone and the truth.
Even though the strength of the monsters is generally half a level weaker than that of the natives, they are outnumbered.
A full warehouse of mice can kill a tiger.
Moreover, the monsters are not weak mice.
The Mage Tower is a regional force affiliated with the Magic Association.
After most of the spellcasters have been transferred to various places in the city for support.
They must leave some tower guards to ensure that the various spell inheritances and research materials stored in the Mage Tower are not damaged.
But Ahn'Qiraj did not expect that after the awakening of the epiphany, the monsters could actually break into the city directly with pre-prepared means and launched a fierce attack on the Baron Castle.
The siege of tens of thousands of monsters is definitely not something that the Baron Castle can resist.
The defense line of Magtan City itself is a multi-circle model from the outside to the inside.
The advantage is that the defense system is perfect and has sufficient defense depth.
The disadvantage is that the garrison force is destined to be dispersed.
The larger the defense zone, the lower the unit defense density.
The most embarrassing thing is that the monsters directly bypassed the circle defense line and launched an attack from the core area.
This made it difficult for the garrison to defend effectively.
If they fought head-on and blocked, it would be no less than going to die.
They were not superior in numbers and average strength.
They had to fight head-on.
Fortunately, after Ahn'Qiraj advanced to the archmage, he had the ability to cast large-scale magic.
As long as the entry point was appropriate, it might be possible to change the situation on the local battlefield.
This is the real reason why spellcasters are regarded as treasures.
When Ahn'Qiraj Lord spoke personally, Brett did not dare to neglect and quickly summoned the spellcasters guarding the tower.
On the spot, Ahn'Qiraj's eyes became deep, as if he was expecting something, and seemed a little dazed.
…
At this moment, the Baron Castle was under fierce attack from monsters.
The magic shield was shaken by the beating.
The magic shield generation device under the castle was soon in an overloaded state.
The spell array used to fill the magic core for charging was filled with smoke.
The central core with a lot of inscriptions is made of a whole mithril column, with dark gold, gem powder and other precious magic materials carved out.
At this moment, this mithril core has cracked.
Shallow cracks are spreading rapidly, and when they are connected together, they will become big cracks.
Until the center of the device is completely destroyed, the magic shield can no longer be maintained.
"Damn it!"
"According to the current attack intensity.
"The castle's shield center can only last for 0.03 water clock hours at most! "
The garrison soldier in charge of filling up the magic energy was sweating profusely.
He was surrounded by empty gray magic core shells after the magic power was exhausted.
This thing consumes magic cores worth thousands of crowns every moment.
It is simply unaffordable to use in normal times and can only be used in wartime.
But even so, it is still difficult to save the situation and can only delay for a certain period of time.
Fortunately, the castle itself also has the function of a defensive war fortress.
As early as the beginning of construction, the walls and towers of the castle were reinforced by runes of magic builders.
Even if the shield is broken, it can continue to withstand attacks for a period of time.
Let's not talk about the busyness and tension of the underground center.
On the terrace of the castle, Baron Besos had a complicated expression.
Because the family heirloom dragon steel sword was requisitioned, he was holding a two-handed sword commonly used by the soldiers of Bangcheng at this time.
The obese Lady Zuzana stood behind him, and it was rare for her to become stable and calm.
After many years of marriage, only at this moment did she give her husband enough respect.
Because she knew that when the castle was breached, this man would stand in front without hesitation.
Looking at the monsters that were attacking crazily in front of the castle, Baron Besos frowned.
Failure on the front line and retreating to the second circle were not good news.
Now the monsters even attacked the Baron's castle, which made the future even less optimistic.
Most importantly, the master was missing.
All the above things made Baron Besos feel unsure.
The current situation has already been so bad that it cannot be worse.
If there is no turnaround, the fall of the castle seems to be a foregone conclusion!
After he and a large number of chief officers in the city died, the command system in the city would be paralyzed immediately.
The defense dispatch on the front line would fall into chaos.
Such a situation would inevitably accelerate the demise of Magtan City.
Silently holding the sword in his hand, Baron Besos sighed.
He looked back at his wife and then gave her a deep kiss.
Because this might be the last kiss.
After living together for many years, he still has feelings for Lady Zuzana.
"My dear, can we survive?"
Lady Zuzana asked anxiously.
To this, Baron Bessos just nodded gently.
"We can all survive."
"When the time comes, we will go to the outpost fort to reunite with our daughters."
"But now I have to fulfill my responsibilities as the baron of the kingdom and the lord of Magtan City."
After saying that, he raised his two-handed sword and resolutely left the room.
When they arrived at the castle battle position, everyone was on high alert.
In addition to the more than a thousand people who died on the stone wall, there were still more than four thousand people guarding the castle.
Fortunately, the castle was large enough to accommodate them.
If the monsters want to occupy the castle, they have to fill it with flesh and blood!
The longbow team and crossbowmen occupied the commanding heights of the tower.
The garrison held their own weapons and guarded every battle position and both ends of every passage.
Seeing Baron Bessos coming, everyone barely cheered up a little.
When facing a crisis, seeing the superior can always relieve some tension.
The thin gate of the castle cannot stop the advancement of the monsters.
So the first line of defense is arranged at the door and the hall after entering the door.
It consists of chevaux de frise, spear team and a garrison of about 240 people.
Without speaking, Baron Besos stood behind the battle line, waiting in silence!
Maybe a minute passed, maybe two or three minutes passed.
"Pop!"
A crisp sound like a bubble being punctured appeared.
The next moment, the noise from the outside world suddenly spread into the castle!
This means that the magic shield has been breached!
"Gudong!"
Everyone swallowed a mouthful of saliva subconsciously.
Then there were shouts and chopping sounds outside the castle gate that was close at hand.
The howling of the monsters and the screams of the garrison were intertwined!
"Bang!"
The gate was constantly shaken by the blows.
The rune aura on the surface became dimmer and dimmer!
"Boom!"
Finally, after a loud bang, a crack appeared in the gate.
Through this crack, one can see the garrison troops fighting monsters in close combat outside and the bloody barricades full of corpses!
"Dang!"
The clanging sound continued, making everyone despair!
...
