I Am Louis XIV

Chapter 284 War in the Other World (2)

When the cornerstone wall was opened, Agnelli and others felt something, but at this time they had an arrow on the string and had to shoot. They loudly warned their subordinates who stayed outside the castle to be prepared to deal with the enemy, while throwing Casting materials, waving wands, making gestures - their bodies either burned, or became transparent, turning into fire and water in a few seconds, or smoke, disappearing in the screams of wizards in front of.

Here, Vauban would surely lament the lack of military literacy among wizards. The rebel wizards who already knew that the Cornerstone Wall was opened did not immediately get on their broomsticks and magic mounts and take off. In other words, there were indeed two or three A wizard rode on a Pegasus and headed towards the Cornerstone Wall, but they were actually sent to spy on the news.

There is nothing surprising. The wizards who ran into this army could not go back to report the news. Not to mention them, even the ravens, falcons or owls released by the rebel wizards were shot down before they could detect their situation. Well, wizards rarely make stupid mistakes against wizards, especially the group of young wizards behind Duke Colonna who had an emergency year of advanced training in the military academy with him.

The Duke of Colonna did not waste even a little time. When they pounced on the heads of the rebel wizards, the rebel wizards hurriedly dropped the divination cards and crystal balls. A group of nightmares, pegasus and even sphinxes spread their wings one after another. Hundreds of broomsticks were taking off, perhaps only a minute or two, or even ten seconds late, when phosphorus fire bombs from the same source as "Greek Fire" poured down from the sky like hailstones.

The flames and smoke quickly sprouted branches into the air like black trees growing from the ground. Although the rebel wizards were cruel, they were only used to small-scale conflicts (it couldn't even be said to be wars), even if some of them could survive Peel off other people's skin, or watch others being swallowed by giant snakes or wild beasts, or pull their souls out of their bodies and solidify them in bricks and stones to be tortured for hundreds of years. They have never been in such a short period of time. I have seen so much death and injury in time - the damage caused by gunpowder is always the most direct, the skin is cracked, the muscles are turned out, the internal organs are leaked, and the limbs are broken - this is not one person, several people, but what you see It is so everywhere, your ears are filled with cries and groans, and you are not sure where your enemy is, on the left? On the right? Behind or above? You run like crazy, wand in hand, hoping to find a safe place...

As for the Duke of Colonna's wizard soldiers, after dropping the phosphorus fire bombs, they would pull the reins or tighten their knees and order the beasts or brooms to rise quickly. This is something that ordinary wizards would not do. Their behavior This behavior shocked the rebel wizards who rushed forward full of anger, but at this time Duke Colonna's army had climbed higher - hundreds of years later, mortals will know that in aerial combat, those who are at the top always have the advantage, and the Duke The wizards under his command also know.

The loud sound of the flute spread from the other end of the battlefield to the other end of the battlefield. The Duke's army dispersed instantly. They formed a group of nine, with three attacking, three covering, and three supporting. The rebel wizards who were catching up were originally Falling at a disadvantage - Compared with the air battles of later generations, they have another disadvantage, that is, the wizard must look at the target when casting spells. Sometimes, depending on the spell, casting materials need to be thrown. If the casting materials are only iron pieces, bone fragments, Forget about sulfur blocks, potions and powders... at this moment, they will become the biggest threat and shackles, so some wizards can only temporarily put away their wands and rush to higher places, while other wizards change their spells. It has to be said, The rebel wizards who faced them all had abundant magic power and rich experience. If the Duke of Colonna's wizards had not fought in groups, they might really have lost this battle.

As a mortal, Vauban was protected by several powerful wizards and watched the wizards fighting each other for a moment. He never understood why the king had to deal with and make deals with a group of evil pagans, and even... The Duke of Colonna, now he understands that if the addition of the Bohemian witches only reduced the casualties of the soldiers during the Battle of Flanders, the wizards of Gajola Island could start from the very beginning. This will eliminate the casualties of the soldiers invisible - although due to people's beliefs, wizards in the other world cannot be directly exposed to the battlefield in the outside world, but in some cases that cannot be seen by people's eyes or heard by their ears, A place, or a place where eternal death can be used to silence people - this is simply a sharp dagger shaded by the devil!

Faith made Vauban tremble, and a soldier's vocation and desire for victory made his blood boil. He clutched the pegasus' mane tightly, and was dazzled. If it weren't for a wizard sitting behind him to assist him, He controlled Pegasus, he might have fallen long ago - what finally woke him up was a sharp shout, and it took Vauban a while to realize that someone was shouting the name of one of the wizards who was guarding him.

"Rongke!"

Rong Ke calmly drove the nightmare to the angry wizard. Speaking of which, they were once good friends, but their last names destined them to part ways. Yes, the so-called friendship is just the impulse of a superior person. and pity. When Gajola Island was still Gajola Island, Rongchen hated himself for being so smart and seeing so clearly. Now he discovered from those eyes full of hatred that he was not smart. , on the contrary, he was extremely stupid to believe that he could change this "friend"'s mind.

"Cursed traitor!" Rong Ke's friend yelled through gritted teeth.

Rong Ke just smiled. He almost didn't bother to correct the other person's name. His former friends and all the rebel wizards were all elites of the big family. In other words, they were all a group of people who had been in the upper world. Because they have enjoyed the treatment of uncrowned kings, able to control the fate of the likes of Rongchen, Melfa and Varro Vesalius at will, they especially cannot bear to lose the huge power in their hands - to put it simply, it is like As the king and Vauban described it - a group of slave owners were angry because their slaves dared to escape. "They felt," Louis XIV said, "that it was a very hard thing for them to think about how to squeeze and torture their slaves every day." work, and they didn’t even deprive the slaves of their freedom to breathe and heartbeat, which is truly a profound kindness.”

Rong Ke was also around at that time, and he felt that the king was more of a joke. Don't those members of the big family know how much harm they have caused to ordinary wizards? Although their living conditions are indeed better than those of the common people at the bottom of the world, the most disgusting thing compared to those common people is that they have to accept the teachings given to them by the rulers, thinking that they are always higher than ordinary people, and use this to numb yourself.

Is that true? No, they are just another form of slaves. If there were no mortals, their fate would not be any better than those of the resurrected corpses.

Rong Ke launched the attack without any hesitation, which caught the "friend" off guard. When he knocked him off the flying horse, Rong Ke felt calm in his heart, without any ripples - at this moment, it seemed like there was nothing. Ripples suddenly appeared in the void of one person, and flames spurted out, covering Rong Ke entirely!

Vauban only had time to let out a cry, and immediately jumped out of the flames. As if he was waiting for this moment, a ferocious Sphinx hid behind the torn flames and opened its fangs. There was a big bushy mouth, and its driver recited a spell, and a force took the wand from Rongchong's hand and sealed his mouth. At the same time, several rebel wizards suddenly appeared around Vauban. Obviously, They sensed that Vauban was being protected, although these wizards may not know Vauban's identity...

Vauban pulled out the short-handled musket hidden under his coat at a speed that even the sharp eyes of an eagle could not catch.

The first bullet made the leader of the raiders pause. Maybe he couldn't understand what kind of attack he encountered and what blocked the bullet for him, but Vauban didn't hesitate at all. He fired three consecutive shots, and the second one was fired. The bullet made him hear the sound of something breaking, and the third bullet penetrated the wizard's forehead.

Just as the third bullet roared out, Vauban also held another short-handled musket in his left hand. As a mortal, it was certainly impossible for him to shoot the erratic enemy with his bow from left to right, but that was not the case for him for the time being.

And the Sphinx that almost bit Rong Ke also let out a cry, and the phosphorus fire bomb exploded in its mouth earlier than Rong Ke's flesh and blood.

Rong Ke made a gesture to let himself float. When the phosphorus fire bomb exploded, the Sphinx had already thrown the rider off his back with a miserable howl. Rong Ke coldly added a piece of freezing magic. The wizard was The air froze, and when it hit the ground, it shattered into countless pieces like a large piece of glass.

They don't need to be too sad, because every wizard of the Duke of Colonna is equipped with phosphorus fire bombs and short-handled muskets. Not only will they make good use of various tactics to suppress the rebels' powerful magic with numbers, they will also use it when they are unable to cast spells. The muskets around them, when fighting in the air, will not only be aimed at the rebel wizards, but also at their mounts. Although the wizards will not fall to death, it is difficult to maintain the accuracy of casting spells while staying afloat.

After annihilating their enemies, the Duke of Colonna's wizard soldiers formed a net under the command of the officers, strangulating the rapidly decreasing number of rebel wizards with irrefutable advantages. When the last wizard of the Gagne family was like a They fell like a screaming ball of fire, covering the heads of the other rebels like a dark cloud.
