Chapter 238 Chapter 236: A sharp turn for the worse (Subscribe)

When the Marquis of Carlisle's order was given, people immediately rushed out of the tent.

After a while, the sound of trumpets resounded through heaven and earth, heralding the beginning of the war.

First, the catapult exerted its force, and two war weapons that could already be considered large-scale magic weapons were activated. Complex magic patterns lit up and climbed up along the arms.

There were also official knights, with bare arms, grunting as they carried a huge stone to the launch pad.

The stone was only slightly smaller than the millstone, and was black in color, with uneven surfaces and magic patterns dotted on it.

It is obviously also a magical creation!

When the torch came closer, it burst into flames with a 'bang' and turned into a green fireball.

The knight ran very fast, as if he was escaping, and another knight held a wooden hammer and suddenly pulled the trigger.

With a loud 'boom', he swung his arm and suddenly launched a fireball.

As if it had a locking function, the fireball actually deflected slightly in mid-air, drew a unique arc, and smashed straight into the war fortress.

This time, it was the Grand Knight Alfonso who took action. He drew his sword and struck, using his fighting spirit to slash through and directly shatter the fireball.

However, what was unexpected was that the fireball suddenly exploded and turned into countless blue flames that fell down.

From a distance, it looked like a blue rain of fire!
What’s even more terrifying is that this flame is extremely corrosive. Even if it falls on the stone wall, it can burn holes in it.

If it infects a person, it will be extremely difficult to extinguish it.

The two extraordinary knights, Alfonso and Vincent, are naturally fearless. The release of their fighting spirit can form isolation and protection.

But others did not have this treatment. Even the official knights were looking for a place to hide at this moment.

This made the two of them look extremely ugly!
However, this is just the beginning!
After all, there are only two of these catapults, and even if they take turns firing, they can't go very fast.

But with the suppression of the catapults, the people on the fortress dared not show their heads, and the shield guards raised their large shields and walked in front.

Behind them, there were all Sardinian longbowmen following.

They held longbows in their hands, and when they got close, they immediately drew their bows and shot arrows, using all their strength to shoot arrows one after another.

Their arrows are much longer than ordinary arrows. The tail feathers at the back ensure the accuracy of shooting, and the three-edged arrowheads have excellent armor-piercing effects.

The arrows falling from the sky have great inertia and can even penetrate rocks.

Even the knight's armor cannot defend against the weak points.

This time, it was no longer a matter of hiding. Most people found it difficult to even stand. They could only retreat further away, or even deeper into the pit.

After ten rounds of arrow rain, the only ones who could still stand on the war fortress were the two extraordinary men and some peak-level second-level warriors or knights.

It was also at this time that the ten cliff sheep knights rushed up. They jumped along the cliffs and climbed up to the war fortress with swift and agile speed.

In addition, four extraordinary people rushed out from the Carlisle family's camp.

They had two extraordinary knights who directly used the extraordinary fighting skill of turning fighting spirit into wings, flapping their wings and descending from the sky.

There was also a typical swordsman, who stepped out like an eagle's cry and flew straight up.

The last person was a shadow assassin, his figure was like a ghost, moving through the shadows. When he got close, he leaped onto the top of the city wall.

The targets of these four extraordinary people are very clear, they are the two Grand Knights, Alfonso Zeke and Vincent Ackerman.

Two extraordinary knights attacked from the front, and the remaining two knights provided support. They did not seek to kill the enemy, but only to engage in a fight.

Four against two, even if the two Grand Knights are the best among the extraordinary, it is difficult to escape.

Then there were the twelve Cliff Sheep Knights, who directly confronted the second-level peak knights who still stayed behind, and using the convenience of their mounts, they also entangled them tightly.

At this point, the Raymond family had worked hard to build a position for such a huge war fortress for half a month, but they were unable to find anyone to defend it.

At this moment, all the Sardinian longbowmen retreated, like the tide receding.

The knights and warriors of the Carlisle family swarmed forward.

Some of them carried ladders, some swung out grappling hooks, and some even relied on their agility to take advantage of the gaps in the wall and continued to climb up.

Because there was no one on the city wall, they were able to move extremely quickly and efficiently.

After occupying the top of the city wall, they immediately changed into a defensive posture, waiting for the soldiers behind to continue to climb up to the top of the fortress, and their numbers are increasing!

The Wick family spent more than ten days, even using magic cannons and bombarding the war fortress, but failed to capture it. In just a short while, there were signs of a change of ownership.

On the entire city wall, except for the two great knights who were still trying their best to hold on, even the top official knights were nowhere to be seen.

And on that mountain road, there were more knights and militiamen rushing forward, as if they would lose a huge contribution if they were any step slower.

Of course, they have reason to be eager.

Because, before this battle, the Marquis of Carlisle had clearly told everyone that he would be conferred a knighthood for his military merits in this battle.

The fiefdom will be divided within the Flower Territory!
If there is anything that can excite these knights and vassals, it is always land.

Regardless of other little thoughts, just for this point alone, they can fight with all their might, even risking their lives for it.

At this time, inside the camp.

Seeing this scene, Marquis Carlisle couldn't help but grin and laugh: "I said Earl Wick was a waste, look at what he has been doing these days?"

"I just made a small move and immediately took over the Frost Moon Canyon. The saying that one man can block a thousand is a joke!"

His voice was full of complacency, and the people around him laughed along in flattery.

Only the Pale Knight frowned slightly, seeming a little puzzled!

When the Marquis of Carlisle saw him, he asked, "What happened to my Scourge Knight?" The Pale Knight had a high status and position, so there was no need for him to flatter.

He shook his head slowly and said, "I always feel it's too easy!"

"Easily?! Shouldn't they be beaten so hard that they have no power to fight back?"

“Although the Wick family is useless, under the pressure from you, Lord Marquis, the old earl also used all his strength and even took out the magic cannon that he had never shown to anyone.

But even so, Vincent Ackerman was not completely defenseless! He even lost the defense several times and then got it back.

This kind of morale cannot be fake!

It doesn't make sense that now that there are more soldiers and more powerful people, and the illegitimate earl has won battle after battle, morale is actually worse than before?"

The Marquis of Carlisle was stunned, as if he was thinking, or doubting.

But the next second, he shook his head firmly and said with a smile: "My Scourge Knight, don't think that illegitimate child is so great. How capable can a guy who hasn't even grown all his hair be?"

"According to what you said, the most likely possibility is that this is a trap!"

"But tell me, how will that bastard face my army? How will he deal with so many of my knights and warriors?

Now, even if that bastard leads the Lion Knights to attack us again, I can make him return in defeat!"

“So, if there is even the slightest chance, they will not give up this war fortress.

This is not just a one-time thing, it has been like this for thousands of years!"

The Marquis of Carlisle seemed to be explaining to others, but also to be strengthening his own confidence.

But before he finished speaking, a voice rang out.

"Something is wrong!"

Who is so brave?!

This was the thought of many people in the tent. Marquis Carlisle even glared at the source of the voice with a fierce look.

Then he saw the Mage Timo stand up.

A fourth-order natural disaster qualified him to suppress his anger and listen. However, before he could open his mouth, Mage Timo had already quickly walked behind the magic mirror.

He pressed the edge of the magic mirror with both hands, and a surge of magic power poured in, directly pushing away the mages on both sides. After a large amount of magic power entered the magic mirror, new changes occurred.

I saw that the magic eye above the tent seemed to be activated and moved rapidly.

A red light shone out, wandering among the mountains, until it went down along the war fortress and reached the land of Flower Territory.

There, tents were also set up.

The war fortress is so small that it is impossible to accommodate all the people and supplies.
Therefore, tents, chevaux de frise and camps were set up here.

Originally, there was nothing special here, but when the red light shone, there seemed to be a magical glow flickering in the large open space.

As a result, the scene reflected in the magic mirror finally changed, stripping away the illusion and revealing the truth!

"Magic cannons?! They are actually magic cannons. There are actually magic cannons everywhere here?"

"Why so many? Why so many?"

Someone let out a horrified cry, but the next second, an idea emerged in everyone's mind.

Earl Wick can buy six third-generation magic cannons, let alone the Raymond family?

They have formal cooperation with the Habsburg Empire, so it is normal for them to get the magic cannon!

Judging from the number displayed in the mirror, there are at least dozens of guns. From afar, the black muzzles are facing the war fortress, as if emitting the breath of death.

"Retreat! Pass my order! All troops evacuate!"

After a brief pause, Marquis Carlisle let out a sharp howl, as if his parents had died.

But it's too late!
……

West of Frost Moon Canyon.

Ms. Palacios's apprentice, the third-level extraordinary wizard Walter Clark, was stretching out his hands and stroking the metal barrel of the magic cannon.
He felt the unique texture of the metal, and his whole body revealed an almost insane temperament.

The mage is calm and indifferent, and even rarely drinks alcohol, in order to maintain absolute rationality.

However, if they really come across something they like, they will go crazy!

Especially when he encountered this kind of magic cannon which could be called a powerful weapon, he had already been eager to try it.

At this moment, he placed his hands on a magic cannon, poured magic power into it, and lit up the magic patterns one by one.

On the side, a militiaman quickly cleaned the barrel and loaded the shells. The two of them worked together to complete all preparations before firing at an extremely fast speed.

At this moment, Walter Clark turned his head and looked to the side.

There, almost every one of his fellow junior brothers and sisters activated a magic cannon.

"Everyone, are you ready?"

"Ready!"

The answers were scattered and untidy, but they could not hide the excited expressions of the magicians and even the apprentices.

"Now that you're ready, just fire away!"

"Let the world feel the shock brought by the magic cannon!"
