Wizard Alchemist

Chapter 148: Conversion Fanaticism
"War mission..."

Roy pondered after hearing this.

Although Knightland is a relatively peaceful world, it is not as fierce as the battlefields in the other planes.

But from time to time, there will be war missions and face various enemies.

He went outside and asked Celine to gather the team and briefly explain the matter.

When everyone heard this, they rubbed their hands in anticipation.

"We've been here for more than half a year and have been waiting for this opportunity!"

"There are too few regular missions. Even if you save up, you may not be able to get a turn!"

“Finally, I can show off my skills!”

Compared to the excitement and anticipation of the crowd, the nobles in Skatu City, led by the city lord, were feeling nervous.

That same day, they sent a messenger to invite Roy to settle in the city.

Roy decisively refused.

"Wizards and apprentices both focus on their own abilities. Using supernatural powers to appear and disappear, and harassing the army is the best strategy. What's the point of hiding in the city?
We are not here to serve as bodyguards for these native nobles, to protect their property and safety."

He ignored it and threw the letter aside.

He just warned Andov and the others, "You should all stay in groups of three or five, and never be alone.

Also, be extremely careful when you see the Black Knights transformed from the Soul Binding Demon Armor, and try not to become enemies with them!"

"Understood!"

Andov and others all responded.

"Lord Roy, are you planning to fight alone?" Atidiya asked after hearing Roy's hidden meaning.

"Yes, I will strike at their weak points and eliminate this army." Roy said.

Atidiya's face showed anticipation, and her beautiful eyes looked around.

This time, Roy responded to her expectations: "You go with me, and Yanila, you drive Celine and assist."

He didn't plan to ride Yanila anymore. He squeezed his waist and didn't know how to move.

Attidia was immediately very excited!

Although she didn't know the reason, she could tell that Lord Roy preferred to ride her!
……

That night, Roy left the quarry and came to the vicinity of Skatu City to wait.

This wait lasted for three days.

The army finally arrived.

Knightland, the world of Centaurs, is called the world of Knights among wizards. This is because their special physiological structure makes them natural cavalry.

Thousands of people came galloping forward in a mighty force, with a tremendous momentum.

Roy watched this scene from afar, his expression unchanged.

Atidiya was slightly moved.

"What a powerful army! Such a strong army! Such a great military presence and such a great battle formation! They are so well led!"

Then he said disdainfully: "But they are just ordinary people. They will be vulnerable in your hands!"

Roy laughed and said, "Dealing with Yanila and the others before was just a small test. Besides, I only defeated a few dozen people head-on. Do you have such confidence in me?"

"Of course. I've seen other wizards take action during my training. Even I myself have grown to this level thanks to the kindness of the wizards."

Atidiya withdrew her gaze from the vast army and said with a firm look.

"So I know that neither these barbarians on the border nor the kingdom's army can compete with the wizards.

If you dare to rebel, you will only seek your own death!"

Roy chuckled when he heard that.

Her confidence in herself and the wizarding world seemed to be even greater than her own confidence in herself and the wizarding world.

This may be what is called convert fanaticism.

Roy suddenly understood why she was chosen to join the castle guard and was sent to his house as a guard.

Not only teachers, but other wizards, after ruling a world, will also gather middle and lower class civilians, or even lower status untouchables and slaves, and train them or their children.

For wizards who possess extraordinary powers, a person's physical constitution is of little importance, as long as it is not too bad or has congenital defects. What they care about is the heart and will.

Like church members...

The most loyal and fanatical ones, those willing to make selfless sacrifices for their beliefs, will be encouraged.

Roy made a few simple inquiries and found out, as he had expected, that Atidiya came from a lower-class commoner family. If there were no wizards to rule the world, not only would she be a slave, but she would also be killed by hunger, cold, and disease.

It was being selected into the Imperial Guard that completely changed his fate.

"Although the teacher often criticizes himself and complains about his predecessors and predecessors, he is always in a mess.

But in fact, these things that strengthen the rule are still done.”

Roy thought to himself.

The wizarding world has already had rich experience in colonizing and plundering so many worlds.

These fanatical followers of the local indigenous people are actually the most valuable assets!

……

The army continued to advance.

Soon after, the army officially arrived at the city.

"coming……"

"So many...so many soldiers!"

"There are tens of thousands of troops. Did Kailon mobilize all those barbaric tribes?"

"These bandits are such bastards, they actually colluded with each other!"

On the city wall, the city lord and others were still trembling, full of despair about the current situation.

The city's military preparations were lax and there was a serious shortage of unpaid soldiers, so it had no confidence to resist.

The enemy soon launched an offensive.

Centaurs are not good at climbing, and they can use many tactics on the plains, but their tactics are relatively simple during sieges.

They sent soldiers to run with baskets, dumping piles of dirt and sand.

There were interspersed exchanges of arrows and shield blocking.

Amidst the noise, most of the moat was quickly filled up, and the bodies of many Centaur slaves were pushed into it, making the progress even faster.

However, Roy also quietly approached from behind and ordered Atidiya to charge towards the enemy's flag.

He was alone, but wearing silver armor and holding a star iron chain spear, which immediately attracted the attention of the centaurs.

"Human? It's a wizard's apprentice!"

"Kill him!"

In the army formation, at the commander's flag.

Said a majestic centaur wearing heavy cold iron armor and a mask.

He was Marcel, son of the great chieftain Kellon and brother of Casside.

"Yes!"

All the centaurs responded at the same time.

Soon, several small groups of more than 10 riders separated from the army and joined Roy.

They did not underestimate Roy because they judged him to be at the apprentice level.

At this critical moment of the siege, there was not even time to mobilize slaves, so elite soldiers were used as cannon fodder.

At the same time, strong bows and crossbows were also set up.

During the charge, arrows rained down.

Even though the distance was over a hundred steps, it was not necessarily closer than an apprentice-level spell, and the attack power was no less.

But Roy threw the chain spear in his hand and rushed in without even looking at the arrows.

He himself was wearing silver armor, and the chain mail worn by Atidiya was also a fine piece of armor with some witchcraft energy attached.

Almost completely ignoring these minor injuries.
