Chapter 281: Flames Burn the City (5th Update)
Yu Fei could feel that a huge and oppressive energy was gathering at a distance of two kilometers. This energy fluctuation did not seem to threaten Yu Fei, and Tyrande did not feel that this energy fluctuation would cause danger to herself.
However, this feeling of no danger was for a powerful hero like Tyrande. Yu Fei quickly noticed the problem. Although the intensity of this energy fluctuation was not particularly high, the amount was extremely large. After careful consideration, I am afraid that such a huge amount of energy would gather and the spell released could cover the entire Brak Fortress.
And the energy intensity of this spell is enough to threaten primary soldiers such as archers and huntresses. Although the huntress has become a heavy armor unit, the magic damage will cause additional damage to heavy armor units.
Could it be that the Kingdom of Severn is desperate and is ready to release a forbidden spell to directly destroy Brak Fortress? After a few seconds of thinking, Yu Fei confirmed this idea. If it were him, he would also be desperate to uproot the tree!
First, before the troops arrived, the news came that the vanguard had died without a single person left. Then several times the army pressed forward but couldn't even touch the city wall, and more than 300,000 people died. Finally, a large number of masters were gathered and attacked the city wall, giving everyone great hope; but in the end, none of the masters came back and the enemy was still alive and kicking.
To be honest, Yu Fei admired Severn IX who led the army in person for being able to fight such a frustrating battle. You can either directly send a million troops together to make the night elves' long-range troops overwhelmed and break the fortress; or just use forbidden spells to flatten it.
You have to try several times first, and lose hundreds of thousands of people. Then you are not satisfied with giving away heads, and you have to give away more valuable heads, so that the night elves will be satisfied before they think of using forbidden spells. It's really painful.
Of course, Yu Fei will not understand Severn IX's thoughts. In Eslazer, forbidden spells exist like nuclear weapons on Earth. The only difference from Earth is that Eslazer has a single-person super strength and is not afraid of forbidden spells.
However, the power of the forbidden spell is similar to that of nuclear weapons, and it will have a great killing effect on those who are not particularly strong - the key is that the coverage area is large, and generally a forbidden spell can destroy a city.
Think about it, nuclear weapons are restricted on Earth, for fear of starting a nuclear war, and Eslazer treats it the same way. The forbidden spell is not a big threat to the real strong, but many strong people can use the forbidden spell.
If anyone uses the forbidden spell in the war, even if he can temporarily destroy a large number of the enemy's living forces, he can't kill the real strong. And if this strong person can also use the forbidden spell, it will be fun.
Okay, you dare to cast the forbidden spell on us, can't I? The next step is to throw the forbidden spell at each other, but it can't kill the high-end forces, and can only cause the people and low-end strength of both sides to die in large numbers at the same time. For both sides of the war, this is definitely not the desired outcome.
So, as the name of the forbidden spell, in Eslazer, the forbidden spell is recognized by everyone to be prohibited. Even if the Kingdom of Severn defeated the night elves with the forbidden spell this time, it will be condemned by countless forces later.
However, Severn IX also had his own considerations. After all, the target of the forbidden spell was a foreign race. First of all, the human race would most likely understand and question it less. Secondly, the forbidden spell was used in the city that originally belonged to him, without killing or injuring the people or destroying the cities of other countries. This is also one aspect of reducing accountability.
What's more, Severn IX could imagine that after this battle with the night elves, the strength of the Kingdom of Severn had shrunk a lot, and it would definitely face the prying eyes of many people. Using the forbidden spell can give those people a warning - I am a lunatic, don't mess with me! I will use the forbidden spell if I am forced!
Considering all these factors, Severn IX decided to use the forbidden spell if the situation was not good before sending troops. However, because the use of the forbidden spell was really not a good influence, Severn IX still made various attempts to see if he could defeat the night elves with conventional methods.
But unfortunately, it didn't work without the forbidden spell. Instead, the Kingdom of Severn lost countless soldiers in these attempts. In desperation, Severn IX had to choose to use the forbidden spell.
This forbidden spell, which was passed down secretly by the royal family of the Kingdom of Severn, has a very wide killing range. It belongs to the fire system and is called "Flame Burning the City". Just from the name, we can see that this is a strategic-level magic.
It's just a pity that forbidden spells cannot get rid of the constraints of ordinary magic. Although they can be prepared from a distance, the actual release distance is only about two hundred meters. Severn IX has already prepared to sacrifice a large number of troops as human shields and send the Royal Mage Corps and the Grand Mage Polini who presided over the forbidden spell to a suitable casting distance.
However, what the Kingdom of Severn did not expect was that they deliberately prepared the forbidden spell from a relatively long distance, but they were still discovered by Tyrande, who had unparalleled mental power and extremely keen perception.
Forbidden spells are things that require surprise. Now that the night elves have discovered that the army of the Kingdom of Severn is preparing forbidden spells, they will naturally not sit and wait for death.
Originally, Yu Fei was going to arrange Maiev to organize this forbidden spell, but after thinking about it, he gave up this idea. In addition to the fact that Maiev has not yet broken through the sixth level of hero and her strength is slightly insufficient, there are now hundreds of elven dragons in the Brak Fortress.
To be safe, Tyrande ordered all the night elves except the fawns and elven dragons to leave the Brak Fortress and retreat, leaving only 500 elven dragons and 2,000 fawns in the fortress.
From Tyrande's response, it can be seen that it is not unreasonable to prepare the forbidden spells at a distance and then release them closer. If the preparation of the forbidden spell is discovered, even if they do not come to destroy it, the other party can first move people and property. Then the function of the forbidden spell is only to flatten the target area.
Of course, the Seven Kingdom outside the city did not find that the enemies in the Brak Fortress had withdrawn and only the elven dragons and fawns who were not afraid of magic were left.
It stands to reason that the magic immunity in the attributes of the elven dragons and fawns can only be immune to low-level magic, and high-level magic can only weaken the damage. From the name, the forbidden spell is much more powerful than the high-level magic, so how can it not be afraid?
As mentioned earlier, the so-called forbidden spell is actually known for its wide killing range. For example, this blazing city covers a much larger area than the Brak Fortress, but the energy intensity is only at the level of the middle-level magic red flame. Of course, the elven dragon and the deer were not afraid of this.
The only ones who had not yet evacuated from the Brak Fortress, besides the elven dragon and the deer, were the ancient guardians whose movement speed was too slow. However, as city armor units, the ancient guardians had high durability, and Yu Fei was confident that they would not be killed by the forbidden spell, so he was too lazy to find a way to evacuate.
It didn't take long. After the night elves had evacuated all the troops that should have evacuated, the forbidden spell of the Kingdom of Severn was just ready. Severn IX sent out all the guards waiting by his side, and together with the remaining elite troops drawn from other troops, they carefully escorted the mages to the Brak Fortress.
However, these cautions, which even had a trace of fear, did not receive a response. Until the mage group was escorted into the appropriate casting distance of the forbidden spell, there was no attack from the Brak Fortress.
The great mage Pollini clearly felt that something was wrong, but the forbidden spell was ready and had to be released. Throwing aside the ominous premonition in his mind, Grand Mage Pollini and many mages of the Royal Mage Corps released the forbidden spell of blazing city together.
Suddenly, many hot flames appeared from the void inside the Black Fortress, burning more and more vigorously. Many flames did not find a burning object at all, but kept expanding slowly until they hit a house or other flammable objects, and then suddenly expanded.
Soon, the entire Black Fortress became a fiery red world, and even the people of the Seven Kingdom who were not close to the fortress could feel the heat wave coming.
"Those damn archers are doomed!" Seven IX cursed in a low voice. He also knew that it was impossible for this blazing city to kill the enemy's mid-to-high-end forces, but the biggest threat to his army was still those archers.
As long as those archers were killed, even if there were some strong ones left, they would not be able to do anything in front of the million-strong army. But unfortunately, none of Severn IX's recent wishes have been fulfilled, and this one is no exception.
Hundreds of creatures that looked like butterflies but much larger suddenly flew out from the cracked walls of the Black Fortress.
These "butterflies" fluttered freely in the flames, and the flames that could burn everything seemed to cause no harm to them. Before anyone could react to this magical scene of magic immunity, the five hundred elf dragons instantly turned into spheres with countless rays of light.
Then, all the mages who released the forbidden spell suddenly felt their bodies begin to heat up, and the heat kept increasing. It was so hot that it felt like they were burning. "Ah! No! I'm going to be burned to death!" With only a scream, the weakest mage in the royal mage group suddenly exploded, clearing out a large area of the elite guarding him.
This explosion was like a chain reaction. After that, there were only crackling explosions. Soon, all the weaker mages who were only used as mobile hubs after preparing the forbidden spells exploded, causing a lot of losses to the people guarding them.
What on earth is going on? How could a good mage explode? All the mages who could still suppress the heat in their bodies were panicked.
