Soul of Burning Steel

Vol 2 Chapter 22: Support

   mad beasts have no wisdom, they can only use brute force to climb walls and breathe without any technical content, but even so, it is scary enough. Had it not been for the city wall at the feet of Verdani that had been given a legendary tempered blessing, I am afraid it would have been shattered by the magic breath like a tsunami.

Looking sideways and not far away, the city guards who are busy debugging various defensive equipment and the soldiers who are quickly deploying defenses, the Zifa mage knows that all the available soldiers of Moldova are here, even if they are able to fight. The civilians also used all of them, but even so, compared to the growing army of wild beasts, it was nothing like a drop in the bucket.

   "It has been three days since the letter of assistance has been sent... There is no reply, no assistance."

Severely took the staff in her hand towards the ground, Verdani didn’t know whether it was anxious or painful in her heart. She paused, gritted her teeth and said: "Why don’t those people understand! If the Moldovan fortress is caught If you break through, then the entire Northland will not be able to escape! Without a fortress transformed from a mountain range as a barrier, these wild beasts can raid any manor and village at will!"

   After venting for a while, the mage knew it was useless, so she regained her composure. Shaking her head, the countess frowned in thought looking at the approaching beast tide.

   Click.

   The sound of footsteps appeared behind the Master Zifa.

   Turning her head, Verdani saw a swordsman with blond hair and red eyes.

"You came."

Facing the swordsman wearing plain brown leather armor with two long swords slung around his waist, the wizard sighed lightly, then stopped speaking, and the swordsman walked to the wizard and hugged silently. She then said calmly and straightforwardly: "I came from the imperial capital, Danny... let me go."

He let go of his hands and looked directly into the eyes of the Zifa Mage. Before the other party could reply, he continued: "This time the beast tide has exceeded the normal scale. I can see that there is a chaotic atmosphere behind this. This is no longer a person. Earl, a territory can handle the situation, I will report to His Majesty, and ask him to dispatch the five legions to help you eliminate the animal tide...but before that, you must not stay in this dangerous situation."

When    spoke, the swordsman with blond hair and red eyes looked firm as a rock, and he could see his unshakable will.

   "Brandon Kaios..."

Shaking her head, the countess refused with a wry smile: "Let's not say that the five major legions have long been overwhelmed in order to eliminate the rioting beasts in the central area of ​​the empire... You mean you want me to abandon my territory and people, and steal my life by myself? Isn't that? Maybe, I understand your kindness, but forgive me for not agreeing to you."

   "In the face of two hundred thousand wild monsters with chaotic aura, you can't hold them."

   The swordsman named Brandon did not answer directly, he simply pointed out a question: "As a golden mage, your sacrifice here has no value."

Having said this, his tone changed, even with a hint of pleading: "Dani, if it were before, I would definitely accompany you to stick to this fortress. As long as I'm with you, even if it is death, I will be content. …But now you are the mother of our children. Even if you don’t think about yourself, you must also think about your daughters. They cannot lose their mothers."

   The purple-haired mage fell into silence. Two young girls appeared in her mind. The elder had inherited the violet-like hair color of her mother, and the younger had the same golden hair as her father.

The countess’s eyes softened a little, but she still refused: “Brandon, I admit that I am indeed not a qualified mother... My daughter can be taken away by you, and I will live and die with my territory. This is my destiny."

   "Do you mean that I, who is also a gold class, watched my woman die in the mouth of Warcraft, and then flee desperately by myself?"

   And this is not your destiny at all!

   The purple-haired mage shook his head quietly, without answering this question.

   I don't know how to persuade the woman in front of him. The blond swordsman is very irritable, but he can't tell the information he knows.

   As the legendary mage who sealed the narrow passage of time and space in other worlds hundreds of years ago, and a direct descendant of Kabbalah Kaos, Brandon Kaos naturally knew the truth behind this land. Of the four major families in the Northland, three of them are descendants of heroes who explored the alien world and sealed the passage of time and space. But now, except for the recent civil strife, the new earl has just succeeded to the Radcliffe family, and all other families are Give up this persistence and choose to become an ordinary nobleman.

And this beast tide is mixed with a few wild gods, which are obviously traces of Chaos believers, and even the evil gods themselves. It should be him and the new chaos guardian of the Radcliffe family, not in front of them. This female mage who doesn't make money!

   Facing the insistence of the one he loved, the Golden Swordsman really didn't know what to do. He could only stand by her side and watch the beasts in the distance approaching together.

   (It's really not good, at the most dangerous time, knock her out and take her away forcibly!)

Just as Brandon was thinking about this secretly in his heart, the array of wild beasts had already jumped over the nearest hill and was about to come near the city wall. The war was very exhausting, but they also mastered a wealth of experience. All kinds of alchemy artillery and enchanted ballistas were fully equipped, and the war mage and elemental archer were also ready.

The patrol team composed of silver warriors is always on guard. If a beast rushes on the wall, they will shoot it down. As long as the wall does not collapse, then no matter how many beasts, they only need to deal with that one or two thousand at the same time. With this amount, this group of fighters has sufficient confidence.

   The herd is getting closer and closer.

  Three kilometers.

   Two kilometers.

   One kilometer.

   is coming soon.

   "Enemy, 500 meters ahead, ready for battle!"

The prepared horn sounded at the highest point of the tower. The sound became fragmented by the torn of the north wind, but it can still reach everyone's ears. Everyone is ready at this time, and the wizards join forces to connect the magic. , Construct complicated spell runes, and the archers pulled up full bows, and the city guards who controlled artillery and ballistas were also ready to launch.

   "Attack!"

With the command, the glow of spells illuminates the night sky in a flash, and countless various war spells are jointly displayed. The huge thunder struck the beasts and beasts over a distance of hundreds of meters, silver and blue electric currents. In all directions, at least more than a hundred beasts of various kinds were killed on the spot or lost their ability to move, and the ensuing flames and ice easily ignited and penetrated them all, killing them completely.

Moldova’s mage has always been the most among the four collars. Even the lord is a gold-level mage. After the first wave of magic, there was an overwhelming rainstorm of arrows, and they came down with a violent buzzing sound. Penetrating countless weak beasts and nailing them to death in place, some powerful monsters were also injured by arrows with barbeds and blood grooves. Purple-black turbid blood flowed out, and physical strength was gradually lost.

Every firing of the alchemy artillery and enchanted ballista will bring out a huge cavity in the dense herd. The violent explosion raises dust and mist, and the purple-black mist on the beasts rises into the air, and then slowly dissipates. But this was just the first wave of beasts. After that, there was still a huge army spreading to the horizon roaring forward, and the hole caused by the previous bombardment was quickly filled up, as if it had never appeared before.

   And the beasts also responded to all kinds of breaths. Although they couldn't use more powerful talent spells because of their madness, the simplest breath not only did not weaken, but also strengthened because of the increase in magical power.

A cannonball-like breath hit the wall. The rubble collapsed, and numerous large pits were made. Some unlucky soldiers were hit on the wall. They were either frozen, burned, or electrocuted. The scorched black, immediately died on the spot.

Under the protection of the tower, the wizards did not receive too many attacks. Their magic power was quickly restored with the assistance of the magic circle, and they released one spell after another without stopping, and the archers also did not have any interruptions. They procrastinated. The beasts are advancing, but the forefront of the tide of beasts is still advancing step by step, touching the bottom of the city wall, and countless flying giant bats and dragons also come to the sky above the fortress.

The dizzying ultrasonic waves and the breath of cold ice fell from the sky, disrupting the bombardment rhythm of the alchemy artillery on the city wall, and immediately the beast tide advanced further. There were originally countless sunken walls full of monsters' bodies, and they quickly moved towards Crawling upward.

   "Troublesome bug."

   Seeing this scene, the silent countess snorted coldly. She raised the grey iron-wood staff and pointed it at the sky.

The light between the fortresses seemed to suddenly become brighter, the haze was swept away, one after another, the long red lines formed in the atmosphere like complex patterns like gears under the will of the golden mage Verdani. Layers superimposed, forming a spectacular and beautiful huge six-pointed star array.

  Golden-level magic [Star of David].

And in the next instant, countless red-gold beams shot out with the magic circle as the center, hitting the giant bats and flying dragons in mid-air at the speed of light. Each time these beams hit the target, they will bring a huge explosion, and they will also Change direction and hit another monster.

Suddenly, countless scorched and foul-smelling corpses fell like rain, seeming to be afraid of this terrible power. The herd of flying monsters immediately moved away, and no longer dared to get too close to the top of the fortress. Instead, they used their breath and talents far away. Ability to harass.

The battle situation is at a stalemate, but the advantage is not on the human side. In order to guard against possible sneak attacks and flying species that have been hovering in the air, the two golden powerhouses Verdani and Brandon can only make occasional shots, and they are about to climb. The monsters on the upper city wall, although the mages and archers in the tower and various alchemy equipment are still causing a lot of damage, but for the beast tide that really has no end, this is just better than nothing.

As time goes by, the pile of corpses at the bottom of the city wall is getting higher and higher, and the spirit of some lower-level mages is no longer sustainable. Archers generally use more than ten quiveres, and most of the alchemy artillery The firing has stopped, and the gunners have begun to draw out their swords and follow the inspection team to sweep away the monsters that have climbed to the edge of the city wall.

   In the fighting for many days, most of the supplies of the Moldovan fortress have long been consumed, and it is now the last stock.

   "No! Can't go on like this."

Brandon swung his swords and swept the dark blue vindictiveness across the city wall, beheading a row of climbing beasts. He frowned and said to Verdani, who had just released two gold-level magics to repel the flying beasts. "Before you were able to defend because of sufficient supplies, but now it’s no longer possible. These wild beasts seem to be determined to break through the fortress this time. They have piled up a **** with their corpses. Without a lot of siege equipment. Next, you can't keep it!"

   "If you can't keep it, then die!"

Because of the continuous cast of great magic, some of the mental energy was exhausted. The countess's face was extremely pale, and her voice was extremely cold. She seemed to be just a pure support: "I can't just abandon these and fight with me like this. Soldiers, just run away like this!"

   "You can only get revenge later if you don't die. The persistence now is meaningless!"

   Just when Brandon was about to give up persuasion and was about to sneak attack on the purple-haired mage, he suddenly discovered that a red light was shining at the end of his vision.

The dark and dim cloud screen was torn apart by an extremely condensed fighting spirit, and the stars at night in the north and the magnificent purple-blue sky appeared directly in front of everyone, and while the silver-white moonlight fell, a handful of them was wrapped. The lance with black and red light flew over a distance of several kilometers and landed in the center of the beast tide.

   "Huh!"

There was no huge explosion, no dusty explosion. The black and red power erupted for a moment, and then dissipated silently, but no one dared to ignore the blow, because just where it fell, only left There was a dead silence, all the wild beasts that touched the black and red light died silently, and the ice was sealed for a thousand years, and the extremely solid ice, snow and frozen soil also directly collapsed, as if it was directly melted and evaporated. Only the steel lance stood majestically. The center of the pothole.

   The Golden Swordsman looked at the place where the light was shining in shock.

   Along with the snow and mist, the dust was flying, one by one, one figure after another climbed over the distant hills and appeared in front of everyone on the city wall.

   "That is, that is the flag of the Radcliffe family!"

   blessed the eagle eye technique, and the archer with the binoculars could clearly see the distant scene, he couldn't help exclaiming, and shouted: "It's reinforcement!"

"what?!"
