Chapter 253, Magic Academy

Each province of the human empire has its own magic academy, and the Golden Province is no exception. The Golden Wheatfield Academy, a seemingly inconspicuous academy, once dazzled in the trend of magic life. The mages who graduated from it intensively practiced agricultural magic, from the planting and cultivation of magic plants to the selection and cultivation of ordinary crops, which were all the specialties of the Golden Wheatfield Academy.

Another name that once made people forget was the Rock and Earth Academy.

High walls rose from the flat ground, pulling out gullies. Among the military mages, there were many graduates of the Golden Wheatfield Academy. The earth was manipulated by them together, and a rough fortress was taking shape quickly.

This academy and its students were the biggest bargaining chips of the Pope of Stargazing. To be fair, he had nothing to talk about with these mages who did not believe in gods. There was also a madman who shouted that gods were no different from humans in the first magic academy of the empire. It was difficult for the two groups to get together, and each of them was not interested in the other.

Until now, the situation has changed. The academy with too loose structure is difficult to gather strength together, which is destined to make it difficult for them to have a decisive voice and be affected by the environment.

And now, he is the real controller of this wave city.

The Pope of Stargazing has the qualification to use the Golden Wheatfield Academy as a bargaining chip. In this wide-ranging incident, this group of mages who are good at agriculture and architecture are naturally coveted by many bigwigs and are excellent bargaining chips.

Outside the city.

In the simple fortress that was newly built in a very short time, human soldiers are ready.

Prepared to resist the attack of ratmen, rounds of fireballs were thrown out, and a wave appeared in the dark tide, but there was no other impact.

It was not only the mages who were casting magic, but the magic pattern armor on the magic knights also began to flash.

Although they are called knights, they can actually be regarded as an all-round type of soldiers. A qualified magic knight will master various skills before adulthood. Riding, swordsmanship, archery, shield attack, spear, weapon attack, fighting, and command are all things they have to learn. Strictly speaking, they are all trained to be commanders.

As nobles, they also have their own territories and armies.

But now they have given up riding war horses and held shields and swords. One by one, incentive spells and enhancement spells are lit on their bodies and blessed on the soldiers around them.

In the long peace, the number of magic knights has been increasing, especially in the rich area of ​​the Golden Province.

They should have their own guards and attendants, but the appearance and sweep of the ratmen were so sudden.

Even if the village was captured and the gate of the castle was broken, if these magic knights wanted to escape, as long as they did not run into the large army led by Rat War, facing ordinary ratmen teams, or even ratmen warlords, they would probably be able to rush out.

After fleeing their own territory in a panic, their only choice was to stay in the city of Surging Waves.

After losing their territory and guards, it was not surprising that they were added to the guards.

After all, although knights were nobles, they were only the lowest level of nobles.

In the mottled and messy light, the magic knights held their shields tightly and faced the dark tide that was about to arrive. Facing such a large enemy, it was normal to be nervous. The ordinary guards were even more unbearable. They held their spears tightly in their hands, and even their hands turned red unconsciously without noticing.

The magic knights were downgraded and added to the defense line, while another team mounted war horses. Hidden behind the rough fortress that was raised from the earth by magic in front of the city were the Vatican knights.

A team of solemn Vatican knights were making preparations. On the bright breastplate of the leader, a purple gem was inlaid on the chest.

On the towering city wall, the city defense crossbows began to turn the capstan under the operation of the guards, ready to fire.

These things have been gathering dust in the logistics warehouse of the Surging City for a long time. After the Magic Academy was officially established and more and more mages began to integrate into the human empire, these things seemed less necessary.

The mages are too versatile.

Until this time, the number of ratmen was too large.

The endless black tide was pressing in madly.

The huge catapults on the side of the ratmen began to operate, and huge stones came whistling one after another. The accompanying mages began to call for the wind in a hurry.

There were too many things that needed these accompanying mages to do. Even though the number of accompanying mages on the battlefield was not scarce at this time, they still seemed particularly busy in the many matters.

For a while, they could not spare their hands to suppress the incoming tide of ratmen, which was why these antiques were dug out from the logistics department and re-installed on the walls of the Surging City.

The two sides officially collided.

Compared to the towering and glorious city walls, this temporary fortress was not a difficult challenge for the ratmen. Even without the help of a ladder, the ratmen could easily climb the outer wall of the fortress.

Soon, the khaki fortress was dyed gray and black. Countless surging ratmen warriors almost completely submerged this quick-built fortress and began to fight with the garrison stationed there.

With the blessing of each enhancement magic, the strength, speed, physical strength and defense of these city guards have been greatly improved, and they can easily suppress and kill a single ratman warrior in battle.

A somewhat nervous city guard stabbed out the spear in his hand with force. The ratman warrior in front of him wanted to resist and raised the round shield in his hand. However, it was a bit difficult to deal with the city guard who was blessed by various aspects. The round shield was blocked and the spear pierced through the chest. The ferocity on his face did not dissipate, and the expression on his face was unbelievable. After easily killing the ratman warrior who climbed up, the nervous city guard had more courage and pulled out the spear. The ratman warrior in front of him fell from the fortress, but the battle was far from over. The ratman warrior who fell down the fortress was obviously just the beginning. More ratman warriors climbed up and the fight continued.

The church knights were ready, and the charge was about to begin. In the endless pressure of the ratmen, the human side had no way to really bring down a fortress.

Even with the help of a large number of graduated mages from the Golden Wheatfield Academy, it is impossible.

This is just a test. If the ratman only has these things, then he will not hesitate to drop the fortress outside the city, and use the fortresses to force the ratman's blockade of the city of Stirrup to drop the hub city.

The location of the hub has been chosen, an abandoned mine located in a raised hill. As long as there are enough Golden Wheatfield mages involved, soon this abandoned mine and the raised hill can be transformed into a solid fortress city.

As long as the ratman's blockade of Stirrup is broken, a new transit city will be established as an independent city to attract the ratman's attention, and also as a hub connecting Stirrup City with the human province behind.

Once the hub is dropped, the deadlock will be broken by half.
