Otherworldly Apprentice Lich and Foot Knight

Mang Tan does have a lot of scarce resources, and his increasingly powerful armaments have also made his surrounding countries increasingly vigilant.But Mangtan's geographical location is not generally remote and bad.Therefore, as a remote country, in fact, her neighboring countries are not much stronger.In recent decades of territorial conflicts, Mangtan has basically dominated, but also because of this poor geographical location, the mobilization of Mangtan's army is limited.In addition, the country next to Mangtan, that is, the country opposite Blackstone Castle, the Principality of Kados, is a subsidiary country of the Chika Empire, and Kados has a long-term relationship with the royal family of Chika.Because of this, Qika has always supported the Principality of Kados. Several times when Mangtan was beaten out, Qika took the lead and led people to beat Mangtan back. Although the two sides did not directly border each other, they were absolutely dead. It's a deadly feud.

This attack on Mangtan was also led by Qika.Chika is an invincible giant among their country, but on the entire continent, among all the empires, Chika is just a small man.The magic crystal mine that he had been relying on for a long time was gradually exhausted, and the result of the arm wrestling with other empires was a disastrous defeat, so he took a fancy to Mangtan's magic crystal resources.But Mangtan's geographical location is also a headache for Qika, the cost of transportation is too high, and the people here are tough, and as an empire, Qika doesn't pay much attention to territorial expansion, and occupation is sometimes not the best solution. Way.The purpose of Qika's attack this time was to hurt Mang Tan.Of course, Qika didn't think of doing it once and for all, but at least within a few decades, Mang Tan would be able to pay tribute honestly!

However, new information shows that Mang Tan's Black Rock Fortress has undergone a change.

Chika's commander, Todd, doesn't really care about these changes, because his soldiers will not be at the forefront, but those who are at the forefront are more concerned.Especially after knowing that the opponent has an undead beast as tall as a magic power tower - they don't know that it is a beast that can only be summoned once in ten days.

War beasts, no matter how strong they are bred, are still flesh and blood, and those constructed must have an energy core. These are unavoidable weaknesses, especially when these war beasts are injured or damaged to a certain extent, they must withdraw from the battlefield , otherwise, once it receives a fatal blow, no matter which country will feel distressed.The elemental and undead beasts, both of which are summoned, are also inanimate in a certain way.They are disposable, so no one will feel distressed if these beasts fight to the last moment.

He was summoned near the fort before the battle, and there was quite a commotion.Although the intelligence from the spies indicated that from the reaction of the high-level fortress, this incident was an accident that happened when a magician was conducting a magic experiment, but...

"One! Pay attention to my accent, 'One!' The 'accident!' happened to the magician during the magic experiment, accident! Do you think this is possible? Mangtan and these barbarians are too inferior to play tricks!" A man with a beautiful curly beard, he was the commander of one of the troops in this alliance, and his name was Marcus.There are three other people in his tent besides him. They are the commanders or deputy commanders of the armies of the other two countries.Now Marcus is roaring almost hysterically, but the other three people did not show disgust, on the contrary, they agreed with it.

Because just now, Marshal Todd summoned them and said that he had obtained the exact information of the Mangtan War Beast from the spy, and ordered Thomas to lead the other two countries and his own army, no later than ten o'clock in the morning the day after tomorrow , to launch the first round of attack.He said that the war beast did not pose a threat, no matter what kind of thinking they took into account to reach this conclusion, if it was placed three or four days ago, this conclusion was very correct.Not to mention threats, I can't even summon them, but now...

"But we have to fight." A slightly weak voice said, it was the youngest one who spoke.

"So, is this a choice between subjugating the country now or subjugating the country in the future?" Another older blond man smiled wryly.

Although the coalition forces headed by Chika, the coalition forces are not united in their minds.For example, the few people who are working here, their countries do not border Mangtan, they do not have any territorial disputes, and they have no interest relationship.On the contrary, it borders the Principality of Cardos, and "occasionally" there will be friction at the border.However, facing the envoys of the Chika Empire, even though he knew that he was here to be cannon fodder this time, he still had to come.

Marcus is not worried about subjugation, even if the entire army is destroyed, his country can still bear this loss.But a loss is a loss after all, and he has to worry about his own life.

"There is no need to be too pessimistic." The oldest man spoke. He was the father of the blond man, and the father and son held the titles of chief and deputy commanders. "The vanguard also has the benefits of the vanguard." That's what he said Sometimes, the old man even laughed.Including his son, the others all looked blank.The old man smiled again, and stroked his beard, "It doesn't matter whether we have any conflicts with each other today, but sitting here today, we all know that we need to help each other... right?"

Several people looked at each other and nodded to the old man at the same time.

Zhou Lingke lay on the bed for two days before he could get up, he was not in a coma or something, he was just tired.After three or four days after waking up, the feeling of powerlessness that seemed to be "carnival" with Xia En all night finally subsided.He didn't need to worry about where he was after the battle started, because he needed to grasp the timing of the summoning immediately, so the commander directly arranged him by his side.Therefore, from the day he was able to wake up, Zhou Lingke followed a messenger and ran around in the fortress, mainly to familiarize himself with the terrain and other generals by the way, so as to avoid unexpected incidents such as getting lost or being misidentified.

He originally wanted to meet with Xia En before the war started, but he found that the fortress had already started to turn around for the war, especially because many of his "magic experiments" were unusable and had to be replenished from the rear. So the fortress is even busier, and there are no idlers at all (except Zhou Lingke himself).Seeing that everyone else was busy, whether it was facing the commander or Master Cruda, Zhou Lingke couldn't say that he wanted to ask for leave.

And... the enemy who had been invisible before, slowly came into view.When Zhou Lingke walked on the city walls and towers, he could always see blurred figures in the distance. Whenever he felt his hands trembling at that time, he couldn't tell whether it was fear or excitement.

When the warning horn and the bell sounded at the same time, announcing that the war had finally come, Zhou Lingke felt relieved instead.However, it was only a short moment of relief. The scene of Xia En wielding a long sword and fighting with people suddenly appeared in front of his eyes. run.That tower was between the outer wall and the middle wall, and was surrounded by three other towers.Its main function is to observe the enemy's movement during the battle, and it is also the highest front-line command post of Blackstone Fort.

The command room of this tower is made of masonry on three sides, and only one side is made of wood. Now the wall of wood has been almost completely removed, and replaced by a thin layer of light film formed by magic power, which blocks the height due to the height. Not a little wind.Zhou Lingke is now standing in front of this layer of light film, a position slightly to the side, after all, it cannot block the sight of the commander.In this battle, the coalition army mobilized a total of 8 people, while there were only 5 people in the fortress.

Although the side defending the city can take advantage of the city defense, Zhou Lingke, who is an outsider, has to worry about facing a gap of 3 soldiers and thinking about Xia En's current position.At the same time, this also shows that, apart from many magicians, only nearby people have come (he is the only novice in Xia En's team, and the others are veterans). Doesn't it mean that this battle is very dangerous?Why do you act so indifferent?

These things are what he has been thinking about all the time. He also asked Cruda and McCree, but they only sighed and smiled wryly, and they didn't give him a positive and detailed explanation.It seems that Mangtan's upper layer is not as harmonious as the lower layer appears.

"Ah!" Zhou Lingke's thinking was suddenly interrupted by a shriek that seemed to tear apart the cloth. He subconsciously raised his head to look in the direction of the sound, and finally blurted out an exclamation!A huge burning fireball came towards the tower amidst that screeching sound!Zhou Lingke turned around in a hurry, because the action was so sudden that the big cat, which had been on his shoulder and was about to fall asleep, slipped down accidentally. Zhou Lingke dragged the big cat out in a hurry, and was about to call people to run away.But what he saw was the people who were still working in this command post as usual, they would not be unheard, they were just...

"Boom——!!!" The explosion sounded behind Zhou Lingke at the moment of hesitation. He subconsciously bent down to dodge, and from the corner of his eyes, he saw that the fireball was in the same place about 50 meters away from the command post. The regiment burst into the sky like fireworks.

And these are just the beginning...

Zhou Lingke stopped running, he stood back to his original place, his eyes were even a little dull watching the fireworks battle outside.Not only the opponent attacked, but the fortress also started to fight back. The golden fire, the white wind, and the ice reflecting the colorful brilliance, you come and go, dazzling.

"Gudu..." Zhou Lingke swallowed a mouthful of saliva. The scene outside was spectacular and beautiful, but it was also a bit too terrifying, especially when there was a slight tremor under his feet.And... not all locations are as well protected as the command post. There are several places where the enemy is located where the smoke is rising, and there are several places in the fort that have smoke rising one after another. Both the enemy and the enemy are extinguished in the shortest time. However, it is not difficult to imagine that if there is someone in the place hit, no matter who it is, he will definitely not be able to escape the fate of being turned into ashes!
