The demon whose skin has a certain magic resistance caused a huge explosion in the process of resisting the lightning bolt.
For a moment, only black smoke and dust remained in the Dragon Prince's field of vision.
Chapter 161
The Palace of the Eternal Queen, which achieves a balance between luxury and nature, is the largest and most noble place in Ulthuan.
After reaching a certain stage in their lives, countless elves will try their best to come to Eden Valley and live in this beautiful, natural city full of birds and flowers for a period of time, just to witness the face of the Eternal Queen once and listen to her voice once. discourse.
Although she is not a true god, her status in the hearts of the people is even higher than that.
After all, God may not be able to see and feel it. As long as the Eternal Queen is lucky and patient, it is still possible to see herself.
Queen Astaruel, who was staying in the palace, was reclining on a reclining chair and reviewing the documents. The maids around her were feeding and in charge of massaging, doing their best to serve the noble existence in front of them. There was also a The young maid was lying in the arms of the Eternal Queen, her face was flushed, she was rubbed her face or lowered her head to smell her hair from time to time like a doll.
The huge hall has sixteen stone pillars covered with vines, and beside eight of them stand the eternal guards and maids who are fully armed and responsible for the safety of the queen.Like the shadows of the pillars, they silently perform their duties.
Compared with the past, the current defense force of the Eternal Queen's Palace is much empty. These guards and maids who were trained since childhood, because of the dangerous situation in Ulthuan, were sent out to support other countries in large numbers, resulting in the defense force of the Eternal Queen's Palace. A lot of ordinary soldiers were not transferred to guard the periphery of the palace, forming a big security risk.
Compared with the armies of other kingdoms, the army of the Avalon Kingdom is significantly stronger in terms of equipment and strength. Almost all of them have a piece of magic equipment, and those who are richer even have multiple pieces. For the eternal guards and maids with magic and magic equipment all over their bodies, it is still a bit meaningless.
It's just that the number of the latter is too small. It's just that more than 100 people are sent to support the countries. On average, each kingdom has a small team, and there is a loophole in the defense of the Palace of the Eternal Queen.
"Queen, the number of refugees who have poured into Avalon recently is a bit large. Most of them are by boat. Most of them are people from the Outer Ring Kingdom who sailed along the coastline and came here from the inner sea after passing through the Lothern Canyon. There is no way to accommodate more refugees in Eden Valley City, so we can only establish some temporary shelters outside the city.”
The Eternal Queen was listening to the report while stroking the girl's hair. Although she was trying to concentrate her mind, the bad living habits of the past two months made her mental state quite bad.
"Yes, but the living conditions and standards of the refugees in the shelters outside the city must be guaranteed. I don't want to hear that Asur died of starvation in the shelters."
When the maid who was kneeling on one knee and reporting heard this, her expression froze for a moment, her lips parted and opened, hesitating whether to speak or not.
"Elena, after following me for so long, you should be aware of my habits, and when you encounter problems, just tell me, I don't like the expression on your face now."
"Yes, Queen!"
The maid named Elena lowered her head, took off the headdress, let go of her blonde hair, adjusted her mood, and then raised the paper in her hand to read the data that made everyone in the hall tremble:
"From 4501 to 4500, during the two years, granaries across the country harvested a total of 30 tons of storable grain through tax collection and other means. Counting the 40 tons in the previous two years, it was enough to feed a million people for two years, but... ..."
After reading this, Elena raised her head and glanced at her queen through the gap in her hair, and continued reading after a few breaths:
"According to the survey, many granaries that should be full have only less than half of their reserves, and on this basis, there are still many granaries that have not been properly kept, resulting in heat and mildew. The food fermented into rotten wine..."
Contrary to what many people imagine, storing food is a very difficult technical task. If you just pile up the harvested wheat, grains and other foods and think that the job is over, then what Elena said just now will happen. Case.
"Except for a small number of accidents, most of them are caused by some nobles and officials using their power to cooperate with the granary manager to resell the kingdom's reserves at a low price for their own personal gain... because every year the kingdom sells a large amount of grain to foreign countries. Huan Kingdom, plus this kind of thing, can use less than [-] tons of food reserves. Considering that the people of the kingdom generally have the habit of storing food, [-] tons is enough for us to last for a year, but the refugees who need help from outside The increase continues, and the grain storage can only last half a year at most..."
Sure enough, as Elena feared at the beginning, after she finished her report, the temperature in the whole room seemed to drop a few degrees, and the Eternal Queen's beautiful face could no longer show a trace of expression, it was as calm as water.
But this kind of calm is the most terrifying thing in the eyes of the maids, far more terrifying than the Queen's anger.
After a while, the Eternal Queen, who pursed her lips, opened her mouth to order:
"Secretly and thoroughly investigate those offal that resell the reserve granary...
At the same time, replant a season of grain, let the mages of the kingdom use magic to ripen it... Sigh, this kind of thing that violates the laws of nature can be used as it is... The situation is urgent, I hope the god of nature will not blame me..."
After resolutely issuing two orders, the Eternal Queen stood up from the recliner. Today, some noble elves in the past are about to attract the darkest moment of their lives.
The Eternal Queen is chosen by Elsa, representing all the good things in the world, but this does not mean that she must be the 'Holy Virgin Mary Sue'.
Today's Eden Valley is extremely lively.

"Ureno Lightning Bolt!!"
This powerful dart fixed into the saber was originally a powerful dart used to strike large-scale enemies. At this time, all its power was hit on the Herald of Khorne, so one can imagine how much damage it could cause.
Although the demonic bodies that appeared in reality were just projections of chaotic energy, not their real bodies, they were still scorched by lightning bolts, and a strange smell of barbecue came into the Dragon Prince's nose. .
Taking this opportunity to distance himself, the Dragon Prince chanted a spell in a low voice, and a few seconds later a faint blue light enveloped his whole body.
【harmony gathering】
This heaven-type spell is quite metaphysical. Its effect is to mobilize the surrounding auspicious omens to increase the luck of the caster. The improvement of luck seems to be unknown, but it is actually quite useful. Sometimes a little luck can decide a battle.
"Roar!!!"
The Herald of Khorne, who was in unbearable pain, let out a huge roar, the sound waves were so loud that it directly blew away the surrounding smoke and dust.
A huge black wound appeared on the body of the Herald of Khorne, which was exposed. The scorched black wound was extremely hideous, and even its body showed a strange twist, leaning to one side.
Chapter 162 Khorne Skull Cannon!
The wound in the abdomen made the Herald of Khorne's movements not as smooth as it was at the beginning, but its power became even higher due to anger.
The muscles on its body swelled to the point that it seemed to burst through the skin, and it was covered with blue veins, which looked quite terrifying.
The elves on the walls of the star castle watched the duel in the distance intently. The duel of the strong made everyone's hearts hang.To say that there are only a few dozen craftsmen who are not watching the battle in the entire corps, and there are only a few dozen craftsmen who are polishing and repairing ordnance. Every time a battle ends in the cold weapon era, there are a lot of gaps in the swords and halberds that need to be repaired.
This time the battle between the two sides became more intense, probably because he knew that the demon in front of him became more difficult to deal with. The Dragon Prince crushed an Aisha rune without hesitation, and huge invisible energy poured into his body. It took less than a few minutes to fight the devil, but his body suffered a lot of hidden injuries when fighting the devil. Although the Dragon Prince is strong, he is not a godly choice. .
The Dragon Prince, who was blessed with the energy in the rune, did not choose to fight head-on with the Herald of Khorne, but began to use his body advantage to continuously avoid attacks, and then used the rune sword in his hand to attack the lower body of the Herald of Khorne, which is commonly known as "pedicure". moves.
Most pedicure attacks are not worth mentioning to demons with strong self-healing ability. The wounds on the front feet are just cut, and the back feet are healed. This kind of attack makes the Herald of Khorne even more angry and inflated. Useless.
But what Bastion wants is for the other party to be upset!
Taking advantage of a gap during the opponent's attack, the Dragon Prince dodged behind the Herald of Khorne in a few moments. Taking advantage of this opportunity, he immediately urged the rune sword in his hand, and the rune sword immediately became brighter. The Dragon Prince did not hesitate to swing two swords in the air .
The cross-shaped sword wave hit the Herald of Khorne in the next second. The huge cross-shaped wound made it scream in pain, and the smelly blood gushed out as if it didn't want money.
Seeing that the Herald of Khorne was severely injured and fell into a short-term rigidity, the Dragon Prince immediately launched an attack based on the principle of taking advantage of his illness to kill him. In order to deal with it once and for all, he even jumped up and planned to chop off its head with a sword.
But the pioneer who can stand out from the bloodletters is so easy to be killed.It turned its head suddenly, and the long and thin tongue hit the Dragon Prince's chest like a sharp arrow.
"F... bang!"
Bastion, who had only had time to block it with his shield, flew backwards the moment he received the devil's tongue strike because he had no point of force, and fell hard to the ground.
The electrocution wound on the abdomen and the huge cross wound on the back caused the last sliver of sanity of the Herald of Khorne to collapse.
"Roar!!"
After the roar, the muscles of its legs swelled up, and after trampling the ground hard, it raised up nearly ten meters in place, leaving a not-so-shallow pit.
Falling from more than ten meters in the air, the sawtooth sword in the hands of the Herald of Khorne became unstoppable with the blessing of gravity and physical strength, and the power contained in it would never want to be hit by a rough-skinned and thick-skinned dragon.
Jumping and chopping is undoubtedly a move with great lethality, but facing a strong person who has not completely lost the ability to move, using this move is a bit brain-dead.
"drink!"
Resisting the feeling that his whole body was about to fall apart, Dragon Prince Bastion pushed his left hand on the ground to make his body move, and then quickly rolled to the side regardless of his image.
"boom!!!"
This blow hit the ground directly, and the solid ground cracked instantly under this blow, and the dust was lifted up as if losing gravity. The two protagonists of the duel disappeared in front of the two armies for a while.
The Khorne Demon Army with the Tier [-] Great Demon sitting in command looked quite calm, except for some howls to vent their emotions from time to time, they didn't seem worried.
Instead, the elves were so nervous that they didn't dare to swallow.
After a long time, the smoke and dust raised by Khorne Herald's strike dissipated, revealing the bodies of the two people.
The Dragon Prince stood proudly on the spot, with his right hand stabbing the huge head of the Herald of Khorne with his sword. The opponent's headless corpse still maintained the movement when it fell to the ground, but the head had been separated.
The two sides were silent for a while.
The demons of the Khorne army quickly showed stunned and incomprehensible expressions. They didn't understand why a powerful Khorne herald fell down. It's not considered weak anymore, it's completely regarded as the powerful combat power of the middle class under the big devil.
"Oh oh oh!!!!!!"
Compared to the demon's astonishment, the elves let out a huge cheer, cheering the name of the Dragon Prince loudly.
"Ba! S! Di! Ang!" xN
This is his moment of glory.
Only Carter just looked at the Dragon Prince with approval and did not join in the cheers.
At this time, only a very small number of high-level elves know that demons cannot be killed, just like the Khorne Herald who seems to be dead not far away, but in fact it is just a soul returning to the subspace, which is only based on the projection of the real body in the subspace It's just the 'shell' of the real world, even if it is destroyed, it doesn't matter, it's only a matter of time before they return.
"Come back soon!"
In order to prevent Bastion from returning to the star castle in order to prevent the Nightmare Dream Dokatma, who knows if the Khorne demon will become angry and send many people to chase and kill the Dragon Prince. You can't expect the other party to fully abide by the belief in the blood god.
"Bastion!!"
The Dragon Prince, who returned with the hideous and terrifying head of the Herald of Khorne, was sought after by everyone. Everyone wanted to take a closer look at the new spoils of the Dragon Prince, but due to military discipline, they could only look at it from a distance, and no one dared to AWOL in time of war.
Like everyone, Carter asked Bastion what happened in the smoke with anticipation.
"It was obviously irritated by me, completely lost its mind, and actually used chopping on me. If it was an ordinary person, it would have succeeded in that situation, but I managed to avoid its chopping range at the last moment, and then While its weapon was deeply embedded in the ground and it itself became stiff, a sword cut off its head along its jaw."
"Good job, Your Excellency Bastion, rest as soon as possible now, the enemy is about to launch an attack, and a dragon prince and his giant dragon partner will become important combat forces at that time!"
Indeed, as Carter said, the attack of the Khorne demon army started before 5 minutes, and both the attack rhythm and the method were quite different from what they had experienced before.
"boom!"
There was a violent explosion, and the elf soldiers stationed on the city wall let out screams. Several unlucky ones were blown away by the explosion, and the blood and internal organs in their bodies turned into a bloody rain and fell on the heads of others.
"what!"
Carter, who was still under the city just now, immediately ran to the rear platform, opened his Sharingan and looked into the distance.
"Dong dong dong..."
With the low-pitched sound, groups of burning flame balls flew out of the ranks of the Khorne Demon Army, spanning a distance of 600 meters and hitting the star castle with precision.
Fortunately, the casting method of the city wall this time is based on the star castle with strong anti-cannon capabilities. Although these inexplicable flame balls have good lethality, they will not be able to destroy the city wall with a single shot.
Although the opponent was hiding behind some Khorne demons, the sharp-eyed Carter still discovered the instigator of all this.
Khorne Skull Cannon! (Skull of Khorne)
This is a weapon that only the Khorne demon army can equip. It is the ultimate product from the subspace. The ammunition it fires is not a physical ammunition, but a subspace fireball composed of resentful souls and chaotic energy.
These skull cannons are creations created by combining terrifying demonic guns and metal.The Khorne Skull Cannon also has an engine that's a mix of daemon and metal.The body of the car is surrounded by a huge curved twisted body. From the front, its front wheels look like a huge blood mouth rolling forward, and there are two bloodletters in charge of the control standing in front of it.
In more common terms, these Khorne skull cannons are equivalent to the demon version of self-propelled artillery!
And judging from the shelling, there are quite a few of these skull cannons, at least a dozen of them.
"It seems that we have to have a medieval warhammer version of the artillery battle first!"
Chapter 163 Battle, battle!
Since the soldiers of the First Corps were building a star fort for the first time, and Carter only proposed a concept and did not remember the specific content, the star fortress had many defects, but the basic function of the anti-gun was still very good.
More than a dozen Khorne skull cannons bombed for two or three rounds but failed to blow down a city wall.
"Ballista strikes back! Use magic arrows and explosive arrows, get rid of those annoying cannons! Mage assist, free fire!"
Since he hadn't had much experience with operating the ballista, Carter didn't know much about this kind of war machinery, so he could only let the engineers play freely.
This kind of artillery battle is quite a test of the skills of both sides. It is not an easy task to shoot at each other at a distance of 600 meters.
The bloodletters who operated the Khorne skull cannon were fine. After all, they were bombarding the city wall, and the target was quite large. As long as the first round of test firing was successful, it would be fine to keep bombing at that angle. The creation of this subspace does not even have recoil. , You don’t even need to reset after each shelling, just shelling as fast as possible.
However, the engineers who operated the bed crossbow on the elf side were in constant trouble. This was the first time that the Khorne skull cannon appeared in the eyes of the elves of the First Corps, so they did not install the ballista on the city wall in advance. At this time, they had to rely on the mage to cast the mage. Reduce the weight of the ballistas and transport them temporarily, and have to endure the interference of shelling during the period.
"call!"
In order to avoid too many casualties among his subordinates, Carter, who has become a master of fire escape, continuously seals and releases fireballs.
The flames of hell from the subspace collided with the fireball formed by the condensed chakra, and the two formed a heroic scene in the air. The intense fire flashed in the air, and everyone couldn't open their eyes.
After a long period of practice, Carter's use of the basic fire escape has reached a very high level, and he can use the lowest consumption to exert the best power.
The engineers took this opportunity to speed up, and moved a few ballistas to the city wall in a short time. After simple adjustments, they immediately started to fight back. A few seconds later, clusters of flames and explosions also sounded in the Khorne Demon Lord's team.
But if you want to say who among the members of the First Corps cares most about Carter's fire escape, it is definitely the four giant dragons and the dragon prince.
Most dragons are arrogant and greedy for money, and at the same time they are quite confident in their own abilities. One of the abilities that the dragons are most proud of is breathing. This special magic flame mixed with magic and ordinary flames is extremely lethal. It is also the strongest attack method of giant dragons except for claws and fangs (special dragons such as the storm dragon that can cause storms are another matter), so when they see Carter using fire escape one after another, they will have the feeling that they have been challenged. Feel.
This made them growl inwardly.
"The distance remains the same, and it is raised by one degree!"
The Reaper Ballista can be said to be one of the highly developed manifestations of elf civilization. Although they are only something from the cold weapon era, they basically have all the characteristics that modern artillery should have, from the sight to the scale bracket that can finely adjust the angle of the artillery , which allows the elf engineers in charge of the operation to use these tools and their own experience, making the ballista very accurate.
"jump jump jump……"
With the end of the calibration, the ballista transported to the city wall began to fire at full power. On average, in less than 15 seconds, there was a round of magic arrows and detonating rune arrows. It exploded again and again.
"His!!"
