Riding and Slashing

Chapter 201 The Legendary Magister

Outside Eagle Claw Fort, Li Ang was still sitting there.

But most of the troops have returned to him, only Raphael and the Horn Call Rangers are not here.

Everyone is very quiet, no one speaks.

"My lord, there doesn't seem to be much movement in the city... the sound of fighting is very rare."

Wendy Erff has been standing beside Li Ang, listening to the movements in the city.

There were not many Jatu people on the city wall anymore. There were dozens of them standing sparsely, but they didn't shoot any more arrows. Instead, they turned around and stared outside the city, at Li Ang's troops.

"Then it's time for us to act..."

The lord stood up, turned around and picked up an arrow.

The head of this arrow was wrapped around the tarpaulin, and Amy stepped forward and set it on fire.

This is a rocket.

"Wendy, did you see that package under the city gate? Shoot it."

Li Ang handed the rocket to Wentierf, and then pointed to the strange package that had been placed under the east gate.

Wentierf took the rocket in a daze, but she didn't quite understand what it meant.

But it was not difficult for her to hit a fixed target. Wendy took the arrow and took a casual glance before shooting.

At the moment when the arrow hit the package, Wendy found that the city gate seemed to be cracked suddenly!

The corpses piled up at the city gate seemed to fly?
"Boom!"

Half a second later, she heard the most terrifying thunder that she had ever encountered in her life, which could make her ears buzz from nearly 200 meters away.

This is the sound only when lightning hits a big tree!
And the result was the same as thunder and lightning - the gate of Eagle Claw Fort was instantly torn apart, and the horse corpses piled up at the gate were even sent flying more than ten meters away.

Huge thick smoke rose from the city gate, and after the thick smoke passed, the city wall near the city gate became scorched black.

The horses neighed in panic, but fortunately they were far away, otherwise there would have been a large number of horses running wild in fright.

The Jatu people on the city wall were obviously frightened, and a few Jatu people even fell from the city. Afterwards, no one could be seen on the city wall.

Obviously, this terrible sound frightened the Jatu people, and no one dared to go up the wall.

"It's actually this powerful, I have to try it with a sealed jar next time..."

Li Ang whispered something to Amy, then looked at the stunned team behind him, and drew out his sword: "Everyone dismount, get ready, and listen to my orders!"

Li Ang didn't attack immediately, because the troops behind him were a little terrified at this moment, and all of them looked at Li Ang with a look of fright in their eyes, and the only one who remained calm was Amy.

He wants to wait for the troops to calm down.

But these troops were frightened for different reasons.

The female explorers of the Griffin Sword Mercenary Corps are relatively calm. These explorers have traveled far and wide and learned a lot, and they have heard of Barkley's new weapon.

Moreover, they had seen muskets in Amy's hands, and they could guess that this kind of explosion had something to do with gunpowder, but they didn't expect such a big movement.

They are also the troops with the fastest response at present. After hearing the order, they all dismounted, drew their swords and shields and moved forward. They formed a formation tens of meters away and prepared to charge.

But the expressions of the Noldor elves are extremely complicated...

They are not afraid of the power of this explosion, but are suspicious of the cause of all this.

Wentierf also stood there in a daze, looking at the bow in her hand, and then at the blasted city gate ahead, she was quite frightened.

The other Noldor elves also looked at Wentilef with complicated eyes, and then at Leon - there was obvious awe in their eyes when they looked at the two...

For the Noldor elves, this legendary thing that summons a thunderstorm to break the city with a blow is real in their historical records, but it exists in another form-this form is called magic.

Magic that only the Sindarí can wield!

"Wendy...you...can you use magic?!"

Wenda Tier asked stammeringly, her throat was a little dry, but a look of surprise gradually appeared on her face.

"Xindari! Wendy, you've awakened!...haha...this is Leifa...this is the top magic talent!"

Twilight Knight Neuer's reaction was bigger than that of Vendatil. He had already started laughing wildly, probably thinking that the elves were about to rise again...

"No, I... this is not..."

Wentierf looked at her right hand helplessly.

But the Noldor elves have all started to salute Wendy by patting their chests.

"Hey... I... You guys... This is arranged by Master Li Ang, I didn't do it!"

Wendy took a step back, looking anxiously at the elders who bowed to her and waved their hands helplessly.

The lord thought the reaction of the group of Noldors was very interesting, so he simply fooled around again, actually with a hint of a joke: "Ha! Wendy, it was you who did it... Next time I will teach you a more powerful Magic, guaranteed to let you shoot down the city wall with one arrow!"

Amy covered her mouth and laughed secretly.

Wendy was even more confused: "Master Li Ang, what's going on... This magic...is none of my business?!"

Amy put down the hand covering her mouth, put on a serious look, stepped forward and patted Wendy Erfu on the shoulder: "Master Li Ang can guide your hidden magic power, Wendy, you are now a magician It's..."

Originally, Amy was just cooperating with Li Ang to fool around. She knew that everyone would understand that it was gunpowder after this battle, but now she is also willing to let the Noldor misunderstand, after all, everyone has bad tastes.

However, Amy's words caused a sensation among the Noldo elves - almost all the Noldo looked at Li Ang, and made the same voice: "Magister!?"

And then, including Wenda Tier and Neuer, all Noldo knelt down on one knee to Li Ang with pious faces, and bowed their heads deeply...

This is probably the highest etiquette of the Noldor. Even when the Noldor elves faced the elf king, they would not kneel and bow their heads like this. It was already the etiquette for the elves to show respect.

The lord looked a little confused, when will the proud elves bow their heads to humans?

He found that he seemed to be joking too much...

But seeing Wenda Tier's pious appearance, Li Ang knew that he must not expose this joke-like deceit, otherwise he might be beaten...

Thinking about the fighting power and violent tendencies shown by Vendatil at the beginning, the lord swallowed, and turned his head to look at Eagle Claw Fort.

There are already Jatu people poking around at the gate of the city, so they should march immediately.

So Li Ang didn't explain anymore, but raised his sword: "Everyone! Follow me! The whole army strikes!"

Afterwards, the lord took the lead and rushed towards the blasted city gate.

All the troops started to charge behind Li Ang.

The Noldor elves were particularly active at this time, and they all ran fast, and it didn't take long for them to overtake the female explorers who were running ahead.

Wenda Tier and Neuer rushed to the front to protect Li Ang's sides, probably for fear of any danger to this 'magister'...

Only Wentierf was still in a daze.

Amy was also on the spot. Of course, she didn't need to rush forward as a musketeer, and Li Ang would not let her fight hand-to-hand.

Seeing that Wendy was still in a daze, Amy stepped forward and hugged her shoulder: "Wendy, what's wrong with you?"

"Amy... Master Li Ang is really a magister?"

Wendy still looked anxiously at the horse carcass that had been blown into pieces outside the city gate, her purple eyes were full of suspicion, as if there were clouds and mist lingering inside.

"Ah... People who can make gunpowder, probably count... After all, gunpowder can also be regarded as magic. Barclay Continent used to call it magic fire..."

Amy also finds it difficult to explain. She is just a beginner who doesn't understand. It is really difficult to explain gunpowder to a person who basically has no scientific knowledge.

"But I don't want to be a Sindarin..."

Hearing what Amy said, Wendy held Amy's hand nervously: "It is said that after becoming a Xindari, she will become emotionless! I don't want to..."

"Ah? Ha... Don't worry, Wendy, you won't... You're not a Sindarin elf..."

Amy laughed twice, and she felt that it seemed even more difficult to explain now...

She knew the stories of the elves. With the help of their mentors, the Sindari elves will gradually master the ability to visualize magic power, and become stronger and stronger as they grow older.

But it is said that as the Sindari elves possess powerful magic power, their feelings will become more and more indifferent, just like the legendary dragons and giant titans and other extraordinary creatures, they not only ignore life, but also have no humanity...

This is actually something that will inevitably happen after an individual life is strong enough to a certain extent - when an individual possesses the ability of a god, it is inevitable that they will regard themselves as gods themselves, and naturally they will not value so much other small beings.

They will only be in awe of beings with equal abilities.

Even human beings whose individual strength can never reach this level, after possessing abilities and powers beyond ordinary people, most of them will ignore other weaklings.

However, at least Amy knows that Leon is definitely not a magister, and Wendy Erfu is not a Sindarin.

"Wendy, let's go to the city first, we'll talk about this later... Li Ang will make it clear to you..."

Seeing that Li Ang had rushed into Eagle Claw Fort with his troops, Amy took Wendy and walked into the city. She felt that this kind of inexplicable matter should be left to Li Ang to solve by himself, who would let that guy be careless...

All the forces in Eagle Claw Fort are exhausted. They are each standing in one direction at the crossroads in the center of the castle. The fighting between them was not fierce.

However, after hearing the loud thunderous sound from the east gate of the castle, all parties in the city began to fight fiercely again.

Because the Jatu people launched a violent assault like crazy at this time.

The Jatu people didn't investigate the blasted city gate immediately - they didn't dare.

In fact, the explosive itself did not cause any damage to the Jatu people. Just like what Li Ang said to Amy, there was a little problem with the proportion of the explosive, and the power was smaller than Li Ang imagined.

Li Ang was originally an explosive made with a ratio of 75% nitrate, 11% sulfur, and 14% charcoal, and it was made by soaking the mixed material powder with nitrate solution, then drying and crushing to make granular gunpowder.

This is a ratio that is very close to the exact ratio, but obviously, the purity of the materials in this era is not enough...

Sulfur can be purified, but charcoal can't, and charcoal produced by burning different trees has different effects, and even moisture resistance is a big problem.

Therefore, even according to the scientific ratio, the explosive power of explosives manufactured in this era is still difficult to meet expectations.

Plus there was no built-in ignition and no high pressure containers were used.

If a high-pressure environment cannot be formed during detonation, the explosives will not be able to accelerate the reaction process, and the explosive power will be reduced by at least ten times.

For the explosive package that is ignited by external ignition, the explosive will be decompressed directly during the detonation process. It is impossible to achieve a full detonation, so the sound after the explosion is quite loud, but the city wall is basically not damaged at all.

Li Ang used ten pounds of explosives, and specially used the horse's corpse to restrict the explosion space, but it only blew up the city gate.

But even so, the Jatu people are still afraid...

The Jiatu people have never seen such a scene of divine punishment. The city gate shattered with a bang—who dares to see it, what if there is another sound?

Therefore, after the east gate was blown open, the Jatu people's first reaction was not to rush out of the opened city gate, but to launch a crazy attack to the west and north.

They want to stay as far away from the terrifying "God's Punishment" as possible. Even if the city is full of enemies like iron cans, at least they are human beings, creatures they can kill...

And Li Ang didn't rush into the city immediately after the explosion, he wanted to confirm the situation in the city.He didn't charge until he saw the Jatu people poking around the east gate.

When the lord rushed into the city, more than half of the Jiatu people had already been killed or injured.

There were corpses everywhere, and blood pooled in streams on the ground.

It is not clear what happened to the troops of the Lion Knights and Ravencrow Kingdom, but it is estimated that they are not much better.

The sounds of fighting coming from the center of the city seemed a little weak.

The Jatu people near the east gate were exhausted at this time. Although they were still brave, they obviously couldn't stand up to Li Ang's new force.

The troops advanced step by step, while the Jatu people kept retreating until they reached the center of the city.

The Noldor elves were now truly fighting side by side with humans. In the street fighting environment, the various teams gradually mixed together.

In such a dense battlefield, the mutual support of friendly forces is often subconscious.

The Noldor would use their tough shields to help their allies block the deadly blow, and the human soldiers would use their spears to stab the Jatu people who were about to fall on the Noldor.

No one will mention any racial hatred at this time, Jatu is the common enemy.

"Vendatir, take the rangers to the roof, you use bows and arrows..."

Li Ang gave an order helplessly.

He was closely protected by a group of Noldor masters, and he didn't even have much room to play.

Neuer stood in front of him, and there was no enemy in front of Twilight Knight, and none of them missed.

And Wenda Tier stayed by his side every step of the way, more like a bodyguard than Sadilan.

Wenda Tier looked around and saw that Li Ang was probably safe, so he nodded and led the rangers up to the roof.

But the lord realized that he still had nothing to do—several Noldor nobles under Neuer surrounded him again...

In fact, the scene in the center of the city is quite terrifying.

The area of ​​the entire Eagle Claw Fort, if placed in modern times, is probably only equivalent to a medium-sized community.

But in such a small place, thousands of people died...

There were corpses all over the place, and there was almost no place to stand. The blood had turned into a thick paste, which could drown the ankles with one step.

With every step forward, he was sure to step on a corpse.

There are even soldiers who hold shields and block the view of their feet and fall because of corpses or blood mud.

But Li Ang didn't feel any danger at all, he was surrounded by Noldo masters holding shields.

"Roland! The troops are handed over to you!"

It seemed that he was not needed for things like killing the enemy, so Li Ang simply asked Sir Roland to lead the army, and he climbed up to the tallest house in the center of the city with a flag, and planted the Griffin flag on the roof.

Afterwards, he touched a piece of leather and rolled it into a horn, and began to shout to the opposite side.

"Brothers of the Lion Knights, I am Li Ang! Are you afraid of being beaten by the Jatu people? The Royal Knights are not so cowardly, are they? Lion Knights! Charge to my banner!"

The lord didn't want to boost the morale of the Lion Knights, he just didn't want the Lion Knights to retreat.

Li Ang led the team to launch an attack from behind the Jatu people. In fact, it was the Lion Knights who were under the most pressure...

Because the Jatu people were madly attacking the Lion Knights, now Li Ang attacked from the east, the Jatu people in the east retreated step by step, and all the Jatu people were crushed into a ball in the center of the city, which was tantamount to further forcing The Jatu people in the front row on the west side fought more aggressively.

At this time, the Lion Knights were under a lot of pressure. They were already exhausted, and they were likely to collapse completely.

So Li Ang had to cheer them up.

"...Did you see that even the Noldor elves are supporting us! You are all men, don't be inferior to these girls! Charge! Don't tarnish the honor of the Royal Knights! Get rid of those Jatu people!"

The lord shouted loudly.

"Honor is my life!"

The Lion Riders could indeed see the Noldor Maiden on the roof.I don't know if it's the power of the word "honor" or because of the Noldo girls, anyway, they mustered up their last strength and roared and started to fight. They seemed to be more energetic.

Then the lord turned his head and turned the horn towards the Ravencrow Kingdom...

"Warriors of Ravencrow, the disputes between the kingdoms can be put aside, and now our enemies are the Jatus! As long as you are in this city, my troops will not attack you! The Noldor elves will not attack you... ..."

Gregory IV, who was wearing a crowned helmet, looked up at Li Ang on the roof, pulled off his mask, and asked the people around him, "Who is that? Is it the leader of the previous army?"

"It should be... the troops intercepting our scouts were flying this flag. He seemed to say that his name was Li Ang just now."

A nobleman in highland armor replied.

"Remember this bastard...he dragged us into this quagmire!"

Gregory IV frowned and said.

"Your Majesty, while they are attacking the Jatu people, we can try to retreat and then hold the city gate... The Jatu people shouldn't be able to attack us right now! We can wait until they hit us and hurt both of us..."

The nobleman suggested to Gregory IV that the Jatu people in front of them were indeed gradually retreating. Under the attack of the Lion Knights and Leon, the Jatu people slowed down their pace of attacking to the north.

"Okay... let's retreat first!"

Gregory IV turned around and walked back.

But at this moment, he heard Li Ang's voice again.

"Is King Raven here? Is the king of Raven Realm here? Your Majesty Gregory IV! You must not leave the city... I can only attack you if you leave the city. Anyway, this is the land of the Lion Kingdom... ...In order not to hurt peace, you'd better not let the troops leave the city gate!"
