The mage arrives

Faced with this kind of enemy who was cornered and desperate, Gordon naturally had to use the most violent counterattack to send him on the road to death.

The green glow of the activated shield around him flashed, and the dissociation technique roared out.This shield is not only a convenient protective item, but also a rapid-fire weapon.

In addition, Gordon also took out a number of magic scrolls that had been stored in advance, mercilessly extracted all the spell energy in the parchment, quickly molded them into attack spells, and then smashed them at the King of Haven.

And Ania, as a warlock with the title of "Spell Fortress", also cooperated with Gordon to weave a spell barrage.

As a high-level fighter, Abel Aldrich is very strong.He suffered multiple spell attacks in a row, and was even hit by the dissociation technique.

If it is an ordinary person with weak physical fitness, I am afraid that he will be smashed to pieces by the dissociation technique.But the king of Haven just vomited blood.Even though his internal organs were severely injured, he remained indomitable.

But in the end, the miracle did not happen.Abel Aldridge wanted to rely on his astonishing physical fitness and use the wreckage of the warship floating on the sea as a springboard to board the Rob Antello.However, under the impact of a powerful spell, his body was blasted into several pieces in mid-air, and then scattered into the sea.

The man who made his fortune by the sea finally returned to the sea.

Unlike Abel Aldrich, who died fighting to the death, Alger didn't have any desperate thoughts.

After the entire fleet of his fleet was wiped out, the king of Haiwen had already fallen into a state of self-destruction, so he launched an attack regardless of his life.But he is different.

"I have to take back what happened today and tell my lord. After this Gordon Freeman takes control of the entire Haiwen Peninsula, he will definitely become the biggest threat to the southern part of the Frey family. His ice golems, it can be said It is an unsolvable existence in naval battles. Even those high-level mages in the family may have to spend a long time to find a way to deal with it."

Alger is a knight, but also a retainer of the Frey family.The sense of honor in his heart has been overwhelmed by the sense of responsibility at this time.So I decided to drag out an ignoble existence and live on.

Alger buried his head under the sea and dressed himself as a floating corpse.

What this knight has to do now is to wait quietly for the enemy fleet to clean up the battlefield.leave slowly.As a tenth-level knight, he has initially mastered the magic of life energy.As long as he wanted to, he could hold his breath in the water for an hour or two.

And the long distance from the shore in this sea area may exhaust the physical strength of ordinary people, but for him, it is no problem.

Wait for the enemy to leave, swim back to the shore, change out of the conspicuous mercenary uniform, and escape from Haiwen Peninsula.Tell the owner, Marquis Walder Frey, all the results of the naval battle that took place today, as well as the new weapons used by the enemy during the battle...

Alger has already planned every step to be done next.

Although five hundred elite soldiers of the Frey family, along with ten field mages, were buried in this sea.But Alger believed that with the important information he brought back, he could make the head of the family forgive this failure, and even give him another reward...

Just when he was thinking about his wishes, Alger suddenly felt a pain in his back, and his whole body seemed to start to fall apart.

He was in so much pain that he couldn't hold his breath anymore, and choked on a few mouthfuls of water.And then completely lost consciousness...

On board the Rob Antello, Gordon saw Algerina's body that had been completely reduced to countless particles by the disintegration technique, and then melted into the sea. He nodded in satisfaction, and then retracted the activation shield.

Argel was on the battleship just now, using a sonic attribute power.Gordon remembered the scene of severely injuring the ice golem.He knew that such a high-level fighter would definitely be able to survive the shipwreck.The former king of Haven had been slain in a final mortal assault.Then this high-level fighter whose origin is not very clear is naturally the next target to be solved.

On the surface of the sea below the ship, there was a jumble of wreckage and the corpses of pirates.If it was an ordinary person, it would be very difficult to find a high-level fighter who deliberately pretended to be dead from such a chaotic scene.

However, Gordon only opened his eyes of truth and warning, and immediately discovered Alger's trace.In Gordon's eyes, the life energy displayed on the corpse was gray and fading.And Alger must actively mobilize the source energy in his body to breathe in water, so in Gordon's eyes, it appears golden white with strong vitality.

So, Gordon unceremoniously cast several dissociation spells on Alger, who was defenseless, to get rid of this smart high-ranking warrior.

"Okay, pass on the order to let other battleships go to catch the surviving enemies. Even if they are prisoners, they are still an asset. The Rob Antello, start to recover the ice golems."

After the jet array engraved on the body failed, the ice golem's ability to move in the water was greatly reduced.Moreover, many ice golems have been injured, and it is almost difficult to swim back to the battleship alone, so Gordon must actively recover them.

With a rookie fleet that has never experienced any naval battles, it defeated the elite veterans under the King of Haven, and none of the warships were sunk or even damaged. This is a great victory that can be called a miracle.But while unsuspecting sailors cheered and celebrated, Gordon frowned at financial concerns.

In order to ensure the sinking of the enemy ship and maintain sufficient power, the Alfrin's Wrath that Gordon prepared this time is a double-layered version of the Big Mac. The cost of raw materials alone costs [-] gold coins.Fortunately, he hadn't turned against those smugglers yet, so he was able to buy all the materials for making Alfrin's Wrath from them at the original price.And this deal almost wiped out all the inventories of the smugglers.

These explosives alone cost a total of [-] gold coins.In addition, the transformation of warships, training of sailors, consumption of various materials, and other miscellaneous expenses.In this battle, a total of [-] gold coins were taken from Gordon's earl's treasury.

Most of the spoils obtained from the Vulture Pirates were spent in just one battle.

For a lord, [-] gold coins can be used to buy hundreds of acres of fertile land or build a castle.Form two centurions of elite infantry with field mages.

Fortunately, Mr. Abel Aldrich's title of "King of Haven" should now be crowned with the word "former".The power of the Aldridge family now entrenched on the peninsula, after this battle.Has been significantly weakened and can no longer pose enough threats to Gordon.

Brother and sister Hansel and Greta can only survive for a while.In the foreseeable future, it is unlikely that Gordon will need to invest a lot of money in battles.He can devote his energy to the construction of the territory and the construction of the mage tower.

But next, there is another very important military operation that requires Gordon to pay for it.

He had to order the army to set off immediately, cross the Isthmus of Cork, and attack the Black Iron City.

Soldiers are expensive and fast.On the Rob Antello, Gordon used the message technique to send orders to Sea Cliff Fort.

Except for Woodrow who stayed behind, the other four Freeman retainers all came out.They brought a total of two hundred Redstone Guards with them.Eight hundred soldiers.

Although some of them haven't even completed the recruit training, this is a worse world. Gordon doesn't need to be the best himself, he just needs to be better than the enemy.

The news that the fleet that the king of Haiwen went south to attack was wiped out, and he himself died.At this time, there is no time to send it back to Black Iron City.And even if the news is faster than the marching speed, the defenders of the Black Iron City know what happened on the front line before the soldiers approach the city, so what can they do?

Originally, after the father-son battle, the cohesion of the Aldrich family has been greatly reduced.Now that the Patriarch is dead, along with him sinking into the bottom of the sea, there is almost all the army that Black Iron City can muster—even including the reinforcements sent by the Frey family.

Today's Black Iron City.People are panicked, and there are no defenders with actual combat effectiveness at all. It is easy to attack.

After Gordon's fleet returned to the port, it also set sail immediately after some emergency supplies.Go to Black Iron City.

Although the combat effectiveness of the sailors on the ship is not very good, at least there are quite a few of them.Moreover, the heavy ballista on the battleship can also provide support for land battles, and attract the defenders in the city to disperse their forces and defend the port.Prevent login.That way, Chuck's fight will be easier.

Even if the enemy is weak and his own winning rate reaches [-]%, Gordon will not take it lightly.He didn't want to see himself defeated by a small probability event because of negligence.

Moreover, Gao Gao believed that the news of the defeat of the King of Haiwen would soon be known to Hansel and Greta.Those two people will definitely come out impatiently and collect all their father's inheritance.After all, although the two fell out with Abel Aldrich, they are still the most orthodox heirs of the family in terms of status.

As for the young master Roshan Simon, no one will care at this time.

Although Gordon had already accelerated his speed, when he arrived at the sea outside Black Iron City, he realized that Black Iron City had already been entered by the twin brothers and sisters first.

After all, the place where the other party lived before was closer to the Black Iron City.Moreover, the two of them obviously planted eyeliner in the Black Iron City.When the news of their father's failure came back, they immediately went to the Black Iron City alone, and persuaded the captain of the city's garrison to pledge their allegiance to him.

The twin brothers and sisters could take the Black Iron City without bloodshed by virtue of their status advantages.And Gordon, an outsider, can only attack by force.

However, in order to enter the Black Iron City before Gordon, Hansel and Greta set off lightly, with only a few followers around them.The army that was originally loyal to the two was still stationed in a small town not far from Black Iron City.

In other words, although the Black Iron City has changed its owner, its defensive strength has not increased much.

Although two five-ring mages are a force that cannot be ignored in a team-scale battle.But in battles with more than a thousand people, it doesn't play much role.

Looking at the history of the entire Telos world, it is rare for Gordon to have dozens of golems and be able to influence the direction of the war as a five-ring mage.

But with two brothers and sisters in charge, at least the hearts of the people in Black Iron City have stabilized.Even the Aldrich family, which has changed to a new owner, began to spend a lot of money to recruit people to defend the city.

In addition to the Straits Mercenary Group of the Frey Family, the army that followed the King of Haven also had many Kurts loyal to the Aldrich Family.These half-snake people who are good at fighting are an amphibious race, but although they can swim like a duck in a small ditch in a swamp, they can't beat any waves in the sea.

In addition to the family cavalry, the most combative Kurts also died in sevens and eighties.There are currently 300 defenders in Black Iron City, all of whom are mercenaries who are responsible for searching for and guarding slaves, that is, the Fists of Haven mercenary group that Gordon encountered in Vine Town before.

These mercenaries with low combat power.Naturally, Gordon didn't see it in his eyes.

Out of safety considerations, Chuck commanded the troops to surround the Black Iron City, but did not launch an attack immediately.And Gordon's fleet appeared in the sea off Black Iron City less than two hours after the army arrived.He immediately ordered the warships to attack.

His fleet returned to the port for supplies, and the most loaded materials were all kinds of ballista ammunition.In addition to the most traditional stone bombs, there are also fire cans filled with fuel.

Fixed targets on land are of course easier to shoot than moving targets at sea.The hit rate of the various ballistas on the battleship has increased a lot this time.After a few rounds of shooting.In the Black Iron City, there is a scene of houses collapsing.There were even fires in some places.

Hansel looked at the fleet moored at sea with a livid face.Those tall masts were like sharp needles piercing his heart one by one.

The Aldrich family, which used to roam the sea of ​​steam, is now beaten by the enemy's fleet and unable to fight back, and its dominance of the sea has been completely lost.It's such an ironic thing.

"That Gordon Freeman, is he planning to bombard us with ballistas all the time?"

"Brother, don't you really expect the enemy to start attacking the city immediately?" Sister Greda said with a helpless wry smile.

"Obviously, the opponent intends to use continuous long-range attacks to weaken our strength and will to resist. They don't want to lose too much in the siege battle."

"So what?" Greta said indifferently, "Whether the loss is big or small, that Gordon will always be able to capture the Black Iron City. Don't you think we still have hope, brother?"

Facing his sister's questioning, Hansel remained silent.

He knew very well that the reason why he actively recruited troops in the city.To boost morale, I just hope that I can persist for a while.His determination to resist is not firm, it's just that unwillingness in his heart is at work.

After finally becoming the head of the Aldrich family, he was about to face such a desperate situation.It's like a gluttonous child who saved a month's pocket money and finally bought the honey torte he wanted, only to find out.The cake had spoiled and I had to throw it away.

Not many people can accept this reality calmly.

"Brother, don't be stubborn anymore. We rushed back to the Black Iron City this time, and we have already got what we didn't get when we left too hastily last time. The entrance in Vesula Mountain is about to open, and we should focus on There. Remember, our identities are mages. Although the wealth brought by these secular rights will indeed provide us with the convenience of arcane research, it is not fundamental."

Hansel let out a sigh of relief: "You're right, sister, I was too persistent. At least, I got rid of that idiot Simon. Hmph, I feel bad when I think of that idiot living in this world. He simply stained the blood of the Aldridge family."

Greta knew that her brother had an unusual resentment towards that stupid half-brother.But if you kill him, you kill him, it doesn't matter.The girl who was more thoughtful than her brother reminded: "Brother, although we can't defend the Black Iron City, we can't leave Gordon a city intact."

"You are right, I will arrange for my cronies to place firelighters everywhere as soon as possible. At that time, let Gordon cry in the ruins!"

"Very good. After finishing this matter, we will go to Cosseini and go to the Changxia Province with him. For the trip to Vesula Mountain, we have to prepare some things. Those precious magic materials can only be Relying on the relationship of the Frey family, it is relatively easy to obtain it. Moreover, Cosseini also has the key to obtaining the treasures in Mount Vesula, so we must join hands with him."

The corner of Hansel's mouth twitched: "That guy always pretends to be a high-ranking mage with eight rings, but he has no self-knowledge at all. A guy who has been injured and his strength has plummeted has no future. He actually wants to rely on the treasure in the mountain Restoring strength is ridiculous!"

The two turned the topic to the mage from the Frey family.Although the other party was not a staunch supporter of his own side in the Frey family, his identity was there after all, so the brothers and sisters had always treated that mage respectfully.And there is another very important point, that is, Cossene Frey's daughter once cooperated with the brother and sister to assassinate Gordon Freeman, and her whereabouts are still unknown.

The brothers and sisters were talking about Cosseini, when the mage appeared in the place where the two were staying now—the study where the King of Haiwen used to deal with affairs.

The former eight-ring mage had a brief fight with Gordon in the Blackwater Swamp.Afterwards, he went to the area of ​​Yunlin City to inquire about his daughter. It was not until recently that he met the Hansel brothers and sisters.

Although his strength has dropped drastically, Cosseini is now a sixth-ring mage, and his strength is much stronger than Hansel and Greta. So this time when they came to Black Iron City, the two also invited Cosseini.

With such a powerful mage sitting in charge, everything is easier to do.

When Cosseini appeared in front of the two brothers and sisters, with a cold smile on his face, they were extremely surprised.And the first eight-ring spell just said "My daughter is dead, you two should die too!", and stretched out her transparent staff...
