I draw a card first

Chapter 255 The Tragedy of the Mage

Ai Wen was very busy, and the others were obviously not idle either.

On the day when the undead army wiped out all the high-level mercenary guilds, the Three Kingdoms of the Orcs suddenly announced that they would start a full-scale increase in troops and officially expand the scale of this war!
Humans suddenly went into an uproar.

In particular, the orc kingdom Aruye, which is in a stalemate with the southern region, directly shouted the slogan of increasing its troops by 100 million to completely wipe out the human beings in the entire occupied area!

Under such circumstances, the local lords, who had been completely disappointed with the dull royal family, simply started a comprehensive self-help.

As the front line of the current war, the western region was coordinated by the old Duke of Hunting, completely integrated the remaining few big nobles, and reached a comprehensive strategic alliance with Aiwen's alliance of small lords, fully integrating the power of the western region for the first time. Blended together.

As a result, the defense system of Xiongshiling directly became a key node that was jointly strengthened by all the nobles in the entire west.

And the Hebrew Grand Duke in the north also began to call on nobles from all over the north to contribute money and strength to support the west. Hundreds of convoys came just for food and ore used to make weapons.

At the same time, there are [-] troops in the early stage, and it is expected to rush to the defense line of Xiongshiling within a month.

Only the East has nothing to say.

As the area where the power struggle of the temple is the most intense and where the nobles are most deeply infiltrated by theocracy, the nobles still haven't been able to get out of the chaos completely.

Except for a few dukes and marquises who barely provided some basic dispensable support, the rest have completely become soy saucers, and they continue to hack each other with great joy.

The defense of the nobles is one aspect. At the same time, the first batch of revenge troops who received preliminary training and were fully armed, and the more than 400 paladin apprentices who have not yet graduated formally, can't wait to set foot again and return to the suffering. Journey to the homeland of misery.

Such surprise-strengthened Avengers and Paladin seeds are being brought back by batches of Paladins returning to their duties.

Then after a short rest and strengthening, he turned around and returned to purgatory again.

It can be said that their existence is the biggest trouble for the orcs today.

As long as some of the most basic support from Aiwen's side is not completely cut off, the flames of the holy light that have begun to spread are destined not to be easily extinguished.

Especially after someone is controlling the underground world, completely cutting off the source of orcs and beasts, and after several fierce battles to completely seize the air force superiority in the southern region, the orc army before the arrival of millions of reinforcements has already lost its large-scale The ability to attack.

Someone was so bad that he asked the Dragoons to bring a bunch of "miniature nuclear bombs" and bomb the orc camp indiscriminately.

Anyway, they ran away after throwing them at high altitude. Even if the camp's magic defense shields and the like were blocked, they could at least cause interference and consume their precious magic resources crazily.

As for those who are unable to build magic defenses, they really can only wait to die.
However, after the real orc reinforcements arrived, the battle inevitably began to become more difficult.

The number of orc warriors is actually not important. The fundamental point is that they have mobilized an extremely large mage army.

The orc royal family almost took out two-thirds of the giant rabbitman mages in the country in one breath, forming a fully four mage legion with a size of [-] people, and directly stationed in the south.

It has to be said that this approach of almost breaking the boat made Aiwen feel very tricky. After all, the large-scale Mages still pose too great a threat to the Dragoon Army and those revenge troops who fight guerrilla warfare.

Especially after these giant rabbitmen figured out the essence of the "miniature nuclear bomb" and arranged high-altitude interception defenses in a targeted manner, although the air strikes were still going on, the effect became worse and worse.

It even began to appear that the dragoons were attacked by magic, resulting in serious injuries.

"I have to find a way to weaken the orc's mage advantage!"

Aiwen took the latest report of the Dragoon Army, pondered for a while, then turned and contacted the group of legendary necromancers and liches.

See if they have any good ideas.

After half a day of fierce debate among a group of skeletons, they quickly came up with some feasible solutions, and one of them caught Aiwen's attention instantly.

"Forbidden magic item?"

This is a new topic, and it is one of the results of recent research by the Institute.

The principle is actually not complicated. The original prototype comes from the basic elemental interference circle that is necessary for the mage tower of the Silithus plane.

These circles are used to create a safe isolation zone around the elemental pool, preventing energy leakage from other dire consequences.

And some necromancers of blog civilization who have never seen this thing, after knowing this situation, immediately became very interested in it.

After in-depth research, these necromancers quickly separated a few special magic construction runes from the magic circle that would not cause any special law effects in their original world.

And it is determined that these guys are actually the "culprit" that caused the element interference phenomenon!
A total of seven magic runes pass through a specific frequency, which seems to fit some kind of rule unique to the plane of Silithus itself.

In other words, it is more similar to a BUG, ​​which can affect the normal fluidity of elements and make them "inert".

According to this discovery, the scientific research team finally produced a special one-time prop that can temporarily form an element inert area in a small area nearby.

In the inert zone, the running speed of all magic circles is delayed by at least ten times.

It will be difficult for mages below elementary level to cast spells, and the casting speed and power of intermediate mages will be cut by half to one-third.

Only mages above the advanced level have enough powerful skills and majestic mental power to avoid the influence of inertia.

but…

In this world, how many senior mages can there be?
Anyway, among the Giant Rabbitman's [-] mage legion, the junior mages occupy more than nine floors, and the senior mages and above will never exceed a hundred.

That said, if this research proves to be ready for mass production, mages won't really be a big problem anymore.

The Dragoons can use this kind of props to interfere with the operation of the resistance circle during air strikes, and then fully tilt the power of the alchemy bomb.

The Vengeance Army can also directly shoot a prop when encountering a mage attack, and then take the opportunity to charge, hacking to death the mage who fell into a stunned moment.

Even in a sense, from now on, the low-level mages on the Silithus plane will have a hard time.

Even if Aiwen asked the necromancers to complicate the rune array in the props as much as possible to cover up the core function of these seven runes, other mages were not fools.

This kind of thing is completely a layer of window paper. As long as someone breaks it, other people will soon find out the strangeness inside.

Therefore, there will inevitably be more and more props of this kind in the future, until they become completely overwhelmed.

In the end, all other professionals must have an anti-magic item, and the mages below the advanced level really have no way to survive. They can only choose to be civilians and bid farewell to the too dangerous battlefield.
