Reborn Dragon Vein Warlock, Genius Beauty Mage
Chapter 195 Failed Assassination Plan (1)
Viscounty of Brieux, somewhere outside the town of Brieux.
Gladys, who had changed into human skin, was introducing the situation of Brittany County and Earl Stewart to the six demon descendants. These were all obtained by her while communicating with various nobles.
According to the existing intelligence, it is very difficult, or basically impossible, to assassinate Earl Stewart.
The other party lived in a mage tower and couldn't sneak in. When traveling, he was guarded by nearly a hundred cavalry, and he was accompanied by an elf with master-level strength. Not to mention six eighth-level demon descendants, even if they were doubled several times.
The leading demon mage concluded: "If you want to assassinate Earl Stewart, the first step is to lure her out."
Gladys looked helpless: "Bring it out? This is simply impossible."
In this situation, even if there is any excuse to make a real nobleman leave his territory, it is definitely not something that the noble lady played by Gladys can do.
A demon mage suggested: "Gladys, you just said that the Stewart Territory has stationed two knights and two hundred soldiers in every five villages. Once a village is attacked, they will go to rescue it, right?"
"Yes."
"Then we directly attack the village where the soldiers are stationed. If they can't resist, they will ask Earl Stewart for help. Is it possible that she will lead a team to rescue them?"
"Even if we lure her out, how can we kill her? Don't forget that master-level elf." A demon assassin asked.
"That elf can't always follow her. We can attack a few more villages. We can also divide into two teams. In this way, there is a high probability that she and the elf will be rescued separately." The mage said.
After hearing this, the leading mage made a decision: "Let's try it if it works."
After the plan was finalized, it was time to choose the target of the attack, because in order to lure Earl Stewart over, he had to choose a village close to the city of Dominaria.
Gladys and the other three were unable to participate in this operation because they had to maintain their false identities. The six demons quickly infiltrated the Stewart Territory by hiding during the day and emerging at night.
In Brayon Village, the guards on the sentry tower saw six demons walking towards the village and immediately sounded the alarm.
When Knight Echo Berg heard the bell, he grabbed his sword and rushed out of the barracks, shouting at the same time: "Enemy attack! Soldiers on the wall!"
After a while, the wall was filled with heavily armed soldiers.
The demon's purpose was to lure out Earl Stewart, so they couldn't resort to sneak attacks at night. Most armies don't know how to march and fight at night. When the other side comes to rescue them during the day the next day, even if the elf master has something to do, they will be able to rush back. Isn't their work in vain?
This was also the purpose of the demon descendants approaching the village so blatantly. They wanted to give the other party enough time to send out a distress signal before taking action. They could see that the soldiers led by Stewart were very well equipped and their combat effectiveness should not be low, but facing six eighth-level professionals was not enough, especially when there were three mages among them.
After seeing the enemy, Knight Echo Berg immediately said to the messenger: "Send a message to the Earl, the attackers are six eighth-level demons with magic equipment!"
"As ordered!"
After receiving the order, the ordering soldier quickly ran towards the barracks.
The reason for doing this instead of lighting the beacon immediately is because Christine has equipped every village with soldiers garrisoned with a communication circle, which is not only faster than the beacon, but can also deliver specific messages.
In order to intercept the sea-crossing demons, the three coastal kingdoms equipped the reconnaissance fleet with communication arrays. After learning about this, Christine thought this method was good, so she followed suit and ordered some.
The base of this communication array is a stone slab with a diameter of more than two meters, on which the array is inlaid with magic materials and powered by magic stones. Each one costs 5,000 gold coins, and the cost of using it once varies from 50 to 100 gold coins depending on the communication distance, and it must be controlled by a legal professional.
Configuring a communication circle for every five villages requires an investment of 100,000 gold coins in production costs. The average noble lord cannot afford this money, and there are not so many legal professionals to control it.
But Christine was rich, and the elves invited her to send a fleet to fight together. In this matter, she had to pay a certain amount of compensation, so she asked the elves to make twenty communication circles, and she made up the difference with gold coins. That’s it.
Originally, each village where soldiers were stationed had a mage apprentice. But later it was discovered that the demons were too weak to fight, so they were assigned to be in charge of the communication circle.
The demons outside the village saw that the human soldiers had climbed onto the wall, but the beacon fire had not been lit. The leading mage felt that the human side might think that the six enemies were not a big threat and there was no need to ask for help.
"Let humans see how powerful we are!"
So the three demon mages stepped forward and chanted spells.
Upon seeing this, Knight Echo Berg shouted: "Spell attack, dodge!"
Stewart has many magic professions, so knights and soldiers have specific training on how to avoid magic attacks. After seeing that the enemy had a mage, the soldiers stood scattered. After hearing the order, those who were close to the stairs hurriedly ran down, and those who were far away lay down on the spot. The ones holding shields also covered their bodies with shields.
boom! boom! boom!
Three "Fireball Techniques" exploded on the wall, several battlements collapsed, and rubble flew into the air.
However, due to timely evasion, only seven people died on the spot and only four were injured. It can be said that the deterrence effect was achieved, but the killing effect was almost negligible.
.
Dominaria City, Mage Tower.
The indoor broadcast suddenly rang: "Your Majesty, the village of Brayon sent a distress letter and was attacked by six eighth-level demons. Three of them are mages and three are assassins. They all have magic equipment!"
After hearing the news, Kristen immediately realized that the matter was not simple. No matter which race the eighth-level mages belonged to, they were not popular. How could three of them attack the ordinary village of Brayon together? There must be something wrong with it.
So she walked out of the library to the seventh floor of the Mage Tower and knocked on the door of a suite.
clang!clang!clang!
The door opened and an elf mage came out.
"Master Adlet Morningstar, I'm sorry to bother you. I just received news that a village in the territory was attacked by six eighth-level demons, including three mages. I think there is something wrong here, and I hope to ask someone to help. Come with me and take a look."
"Eighth-level demon mage? There is indeed a problem here. I'll go with you."
Although Brayon Village does not have a teleportation array, the coordinates can be determined based on the communication array, and the master level can go directly there by casting the fifth-level spell "teleportation".
After Master Ade Thunder and Christine finished blessing the protection spells and flight spells, the light flashed and the two teleported away.
