Astartes of the Bear School

Chapter 1447 1419. Unscrupulous businessmen harming people
In addition to the Ash Knights who were ready for battle, there were also summoned souls in High Hill Castle. The rest of the servants and servants would not be able to sleep tonight.

They were not part of the Knights Templar organization. According to the rules, they were just friendly assistance provided by Temeria to this "foreign Knights Templar".

Long before Lan En brought the news, Gaoqiu Castle had already implemented a strategy of closing itself off from the outside world, so these servants could not go out.

The atmosphere at night was obviously not right. How could the sight of the knights getting ready to go be hidden from the people who also worked and lived in the castle?

So as soon as evening came, the servants felt the tense atmosphere.

Now, amidst the anxiety, there is also an indescribable excitement, looking at the flames rising into the sky outside the city wall, as well as the terrifying war roars and screams.

The cook in the castle walked out of the house cautiously, went to the courtyard inside the castle, and secretly found an observation peephole under the city wall to look out.

The Embers Knight patrolling on the city wall just glanced at him, and the two even nodded and greeted each other.

Except for those recruited from nearby places, the servants and menials in the Knights of Embers who were directly sent here can basically be regarded as official personnel of Temeria.

Both parties seem to be well aware of this.

After all, since we are stationed on someone else's territory, it is only natural to accept a certain degree of supervision from others.

And before Lan left, he didn't give any special instructions to the Embers Knights about what to do with these people, so the Embers Knights naturally didn't interfere and just got along with them as usual.

The cook was lying on the observation peephole on the inside of the castle wall on the first floor, looking out.

The cook was very excited about this observation, because this observation report alone was enough to make him stand out in front of the king.

Outside was a large group of knights, with the sound of men and horses neighing. Although the siege equipment they made was crude, it was sturdy enough and met the standards for use in any war.

The blue metal on the key parts of the device is obviously magic-blocking metal, which is used to prevent the device from being destroyed by possible magic.

But when the chef just confirmed through the luster of the metal, it should be the next moment of the magic-blocking gold!
"bump!!!"

A ball of scorching fire that was expanding unsteadily flew out from the city wall and hit the catapult that was blocking the magic gold!

And when the fireball really hit the catapult, the cook was surprised to find that it was not a "fireball" but a large ball of lava!
The spherical lava suddenly exploded after hitting the target!
The sticky, thick, and shiny gelatinous substance flowed down, forming a large pile where the catapult was!

The sizzling sound of burning wood and the crackling sound of wood fibers collapsing and breaking apart were heard constantly.

"what!!!"

"witchcraft!"

The collapsing lava spread over a larger area, instantly enveloping the knights who were originally crowded around the catapult to operate it!

But not everyone's armor is capable of stepping into lava without feeling anything.

These people's calves and feet were immediately burned and fused into their boots!
Furthermore, the injured tissues were burning and rotting at a speed visible to the naked eye. First, they were burning and rotting normally. Then, the already burned flesh and blood began to twist, as if they were about to grow into another shape that definitely did not belong to the human body!

[Spell: Chaos Fireball]

This is a technique found in the spell book that Comicus found in the underground space in the mountains when he followed the people of the Deep Church to Irithyll.

[Izalith Spellbook], the origin of spells, the birthplace of chaos fire.

The outward appearance of the Chaos Flame is like exploding magma, but the inner meaning of this flame represents "vitality".

Just as Lan En felt from his own spellfire.

Izalith, the world of fire, is the hometown of the ancient gods - the Witches of Izalith.

It was because they wanted to create a flame that could replace the First Flame, but the experiment went out of control. Thus, the Chaos Flame was born, and all the life in Izalith was twisted into strange creatures by this flame.

That is the so-called "demon" in the world of fire.

【Chaos Flame】 is the flame that distorts life.

However, since it has been compiled into a spell book, it means that the once twisted and disordered [Chaos Fire] should at least be controlled to some extent.

The spells recorded in the [Spellbook of Izalith] no longer create twisted creatures, but instead burn them to death before they are twisted.

This is exactly the new thing that Comicus wants to teach Lan En. He cares very much about his identity as a teacher.

Leonard's [Giant Soul Arrow] and Archbishop Klimt's [Holy Bi-Pronged Spear], although they are not very effective in dealing with the impact of weapons.

But it is enough to clean up the area around the equipment and the knights who are responsible for operating it.

The magic and miracles that directly attacked the soul made it so that the knights who died around the catapult did not even show any external injuries, and they died silently.

When the [Chaos Fireball] was thrown down, the cook who was observing through the peephole was still filled with surprise and doubt.

After all, after staying in Gaoqiu Castle, he also knew that the witchers had something called alchemical bombs.

This thing can be used by ordinary people, but it is expensive. If this is some kind of alchemical bomb, it seems reasonable that the magic metal cannot stop it. But then, there were giant arrows with blue light, and double-pronged guns with white light and falling angel feathers.
At this time, the cook's gaze stabilized, and when he looked through the peephole at the group of besiegers outside, there was a hint of pity in his eyes for the victims who had been taken advantage of.

Known: The ability of Repellmetal to restrain magic is a fact that has been proven countless times in various forms during more than a hundred years of use.

It is also known that this thing that was thrown from the city wall into the enemy camp must be magic.

So a conclusion was drawn naturally -

"It's really miserable to be cheated by unscrupulous businessmen, tut tut."

The cook kept clicking his tongue and occasionally gasping at the destructive effects of spells, soul magic, and miracles.

"How dare you buy cheap Demon Retarding Gold on the battlefield? What's going on in your head?"

He tilted his head and spat.

But I felt sorry for the people outside.

Because he also knows that those who really go to the battlefield must want really good equipment. Unfortunately, those who are in charge of purchasing are often not the ones who are going to the battlefield.

So he just felt sorry for these idiots.

In a siege, there are mages in the castle. They took so much magic blocking gold, so I definitely don’t have a mage around.

Then there is no way to fight this.

In the first minute after the battle began, even a cook in Gaoqiu Castle saw the outcome of the conflict.

"Calm down!" Outside the castle, the knight commander who was commanding the siege shouted loudly, "We are under the protection of the Eternal Fire! These things can't hurt us!"

In the army formation that was thrown into chaos by the attack from the sky, the lava had just dimmed a little from its bright red color.

The corpses and the wreckage of the catapult were still there, but the Knight Commander kept shouting, and the others on the periphery just listened.

"Don't be afraid of the mutant monsters' witchcraft! They can't do anything!"

"Just now, the magic metal was too far away from those mages! Push forward! This wall is only three meters high! Push the equipment closer!"

"Only the faithless will be hurt!"

This statement is consistent with the logic of the Doctrine of the Eternal Fire. The reason you can be harmed by magic is that your heart is not sincere.

In other words, this conforms to the logic of the vast majority of religious beliefs.

"It seems," Sirius said to Leonard in a voice as light and ethereal as moonlight, "that your magic did not cause enough shock. They are hoping for the best."

[Rosalia's ring finger], or now it should be called [Gwynevere's ring finger].

Leonard sneered unhappily but did not respond.

"Demagic Metal can make it so difficult for a warlock to mobilize chaotic magic, and it can also disrupt magic composed of pure magic." It was Stuart who interrupted and explained.

"But it is impossible to weaken or interfere with things that have been created by magic. It's like a stone thrown by magic. Even if the magic disappears, the inertia of the stone is enough to kill people."

"They might have mistaken your magic for that kind of thing."

"It's just a futile hope." Sirius said softly, holding the rapier at his waist. "They don't look strong. Open the front door and rush out to dismantle those devices."

The souls did not refute Sirius's statement.

After all, in the world of fire, any knight who has mastered the [Soul Power] will not be killed by the aftermath of the Soul Arrow. At most, his [Soul Power] will be exhausted.

But this group of attackers is indeed like that now.

The torches whistled in the cold wind. The souls left the three people who had just launched long-range attacks on the top of the city wall, while the remaining Sirius and Hazel followed Maria and prepared to rush directly down out of the city gate.

The Embers Knights, who had been prepared for a long time, frowned at first, and then immediately followed.

Although defending the city is definitely an advantage, since these strong men who were called by their masters are willing to take the lead in charging, they also want to end the battle tonight as soon as possible.

"Wait a minute." Klimt stopped Lincoln who was about to charge, "You haven't used all the summoning symbols Lan En drew. Being cautious is a good habit. Here, use this one now."

Lan En left behind eight parchments with summoning symbols, but only five souls were summoned so far. Lincoln planned to use the other three depending on the situation.

And now, Klimt took one out and handed it to the young clerk.

"He's the one. The ones just now aren't suitable for charging head-on. I don't know that Ms. Maria, but judging by her equipment, it should be similar to Sirius's. This one is perfect. Let him lead the charge."
