Arad's Sword

Chapter 127 Rainbow City
Four days after Fina gave the "reward", the scouts finally brought back the long-awaited report from Midi.

The 2 Black Flame Legion, 6000 Cangyan Iron Cavalry, 8000 Flame Guards, and the main force of the Seth family with a total of 4000 people have finally assembled.

Location, Rainbow City.

It is located on the vast Graca Plain, echoing its family castle, one south and one north, collectively known as the Twin Cities of Seth.It can be said that taking down Hongguang City means taking down half of the Seth family.

In view of its important position as the gateway to the southern territory, the Seth family has been painstakingly managing the city for hundreds of years, and now it has finally turned it into an invincible fortress.

Its city wall is a full 25 meters high, and it is so wide that four horses can walk side by side.The city wall is divided into inner and outer double layers, the middle part is supported by fine iron, and there are a large number of corridors.Once encountering enemy siege, whether it is roaming gunners, gunners, elementalists, summoners, etc., they can directly enter the inside of the city wall and fight back through specially set holes.

The trebuchets and bed crossbows spread all over the commanding heights of the inner city wall can even attack nearly 400 meters outside the city wall, with an extremely long range.Once the attacker starts to attack, it means that in the whole battle, they have to face those terrifying stone bullets that cover the sky, as well as huge arrows that can penetrate any armor and shield.

And the most important thing is that this fortress city is built on a huge magic vein, which is hundreds of kilometers in length and width, with countless branches, and the internal magic power is surging.

There are eight magic circles set up in the eight towers in the city. Once they are activated at the same time, they will draw the power from the magic veins to form a protective magic circle.At that time, not to mention all kinds of attacks, even birds and mosquitoes will not be able to pass through its sky.

Because the protective magic circle looked like a rainbow when it appeared, the city was finally named Rainbow City.

Under this somewhat elegant and artistic name, what is contained is the foundation of the Seth family for hundreds of years, as well as its unshakable strength.

This is the trump card used by the Seth family to fight against the Queen of Magic Bullets.

Facing this colossal monster in front of them, the mighty Golden Branch Army finally stopped for the first time.

Midi did not launch an attack immediately as expected, but chose to garrison steadily.

Outside the range of those powerful trebuchets in Hongguang City, he ordered the whole army to start digging trenches and building fortifications. After reaching a certain depth, they began to build barracks.Not only that, but a few days later, the two 5-man divisions that had been separated also began to gather together and merged with the central main force to form a huge corps with a total of more than [-] people.

Pieces of barracks are spread out, and blockhouses are erected one after another. With the orderly corridors, strong bunkers, and patches of horse-repelling formations, from a distance, it looks like a huge city that suddenly appeared overnight. .

The golden lion flag of the Hamilton family fluttered in the wind, echoing the flag of the Seth family at the head of Hongguang City.

There was no whimsy or whimsy, and there was no slant of swords. This time, Midi laid out his formation in an upright manner, obviously intending to fight a frontal siege.

Fifty thousand versus thirty-four thousand, in a siege battle, although the Seth family's troops were a little smaller, they could rely on Hongguang City itself and actually had the upper hand.But now, after the Jinzhi Legion's strictly guarded barracks are built, it can be said that they have a foundation. Even if they fail in the siege, there will be no major problems. As long as they can retreat to the camp, they can calmly Rest and fight again.

It's just that, even though Midi was constructing civil engineering with great fanfare right under her nose, the Seth family did not take any action to stop it.

As a well-established veteran giant, since they are determined to avoid the edge of the Golden Branches, it is naturally impossible for them to lose their composure because of this action.

Besides, so what if the barracks were built?How can a fortification built within a week compare with the Hongguang City accumulated over hundreds of years?

Instead of attacking rashly and being caught in a trap, it is better to implement the defensive strategy like this.

After all, the consumption of the Golden Branch Legion from afar is much higher than that of Hongguang City's Black Flame, Red Flame, and Blue Flame. Compared with patience, Seth has an advantage.

This time, however, Seth's caution was in vain.Midi didn't have any idea of ​​luring snakes out of the hole or playing tricks at all. He immediately launched a frontal offensive as soon as the fortifications were completed.

In the early morning, accompanied by the sound of the loud and clear bugle, the dawn sun seemed to dim for a moment, and the blowing breeze stopped at this moment.

On the Golden Branch Legion's position, magic circles lit up one after another. They frantically absorbed magic power from the underground magic veins, purified them, and then transported them to the center through the magic corridor drawn after realization.

More and more magic power began to gather on the high tower in the center of the barracks, and when the magic power finally reached the condensed peak, an extremely sharp slender light shot out from it.

This is Fina's magic bullet. It once destroyed the castle of the Joseph family, destroyed countless armies like a storm, and even knocked on the frontier of the Seth family.

But now, this light, brighter than the sun and sharper than a long sword, is piercing straight towards the city wall of Hongguang City!
A piece of water-colored light suddenly bloomed in the sky above Hongguang City, causing layer after layer of ripples.

Fina's extremely sharp attack slowed down greatly in front of the light, like a heavy hammer hitting cotton, unable to use any strength at all.The water-colored light immediately seized the opportunity and completely enveloped the light.

The two completely different magical powers fought against each other in mid-air like this. After a long time, finally, countless cracks gradually appeared on the surface of Fina's light, and finally, under this seemingly gentle but resilient strangulation, it was completely shattered. It split into countless pieces of light and disappeared into the air.

"blocked!"

In an instant, on the top of Hongguang City, countless soldiers of the Seth family cheered at the same time, and the sound shook the entire battlefield for a while.

The two armies confront each other, although the battle has not yet begun, but the momentum has already collided with each other.In this case, the competition between the magic bullet attack and the Hongguang formation is equivalent to the chief duel before the formation.The morale of the victorious party will greatly increase, while the losing party will naturally be depressed.

What's more, what was blocked this time was not an ordinary attack, but Fina's magic bullet.

The signature attack of the invincible Queen of Magic Bullets!

Since the terrible record of "one person, one city per day" was created last year, almost everyone in the Principality of Bel Mare is afraid of Fina.There is such a "humanoid strategic weapon" sitting in the Golden Branch Army, plus Midi, the commander who destroyed the Red Flame Army, just hearing these two names, the soldiers of the Seth family will be weak first Three points.At this point, even the Seth family has nothing to do.

Instead of facing the menacing Jinzhi army with this mentality, it is better to guard against it and look for an opportunity to break through. Therefore, Seth did not hesitate to give up the vast territory, exchange space for time, and concentrate his forces in Hongguang City in order to carry out the battle. An active decisive battle under the advantage.

But now, they finally saw the dawn of victory.

"Hmph, even if it's the Queen of Magic Bullets, she can only return in vain in front of the rainbow formation." General Scar stood on the city wall and sneered.

"There's nothing to be proud of, it just means that the two sides have returned to a balance of power." Another voice impatiently interrupted General Scar's words. The owner of this voice was the head of the Cangyan Iron Cavalry, "If We can't repel Hamilton, and we still can't regain the territory. General Scar, don't you think that you can win here by relying on a large formation to shrink your head?"

"What did you say?" Facing the obvious provocation, General Scar's face was filled with anger.

"Shut up. Now that the enemy is in front of you, it's not the time for you to show off your quick words." The commander of the Flame Guards, who is over [-] years old, and a veteran who has served the Seth family for nearly half a century, finally opened his mouth. "We are soldiers, if we really want to compete, we might as well compare our records!"

"Then let's see whose army can break this golden branch." In the eyes of General Scar, the fighting spirit was overwhelming.And the head of the Cangyan Iron Cavalry Group is also gearing up.

However, while the soldiers and generals of the Seth family were all excited about the turnaround of the situation, there was not much movement on the side of the Golden Branch Army.

Perhaps the soldiers will be a little discouraged by the sight of the magic bullet being blocked, and perhaps the generals will be slightly shaken by the situation where the momentum is fading.However, for the commander of this 5-strong army, Midi Asrex, this was something that had been expected a long time ago, and the red-haired girl beside him also had a calm expression.

If there were any emotional fluctuations, it would be when the boy and the girl were alone and met their eyes.Fina, who was originally heroic and heroic like a Valkyrie, would always feel a little embarrassed, and Midi, who had always been calm and strategizing, was also quite shaken.

However, now is not the time to relive that kiss.

This is the battlefield.

Midi secretly reminded herself in her heart, took a deep breath, coughed again, and made preparations before asking, "Fina, are you ready for the next move?"

"Of course." The red-haired girl also returned to her usual appearance, and nodded slightly.

A smile could not help but leak from the corner of her mouth.After all, it's always a joy when someone you care about can connect with you.

After hearing these words, Midi finally made up her mind.

It's time to get it over with.

Not only with the Seth family, but also with that third-party force that has been hiding in the shadows.

"Then, tomorrow, we will launch a general attack." Midi said so, her voice was not loud, but her tone was firm.

At the same time, a pitch-black crow was flying through the clouds.It flew over hundreds of kilometers, and finally landed on the highest point of the city called Eagle's Nest.

The girl with black hair like a waterfall is waiting for its arrival here.

She took off the note on the crow's anklet, glanced at it, and then nodded: "Send the order, Falcon Group, the whole army is dispatched!"
