Arad's Sword

Chapter 139 Rooted
As Midi expected, if Domingo and Queen Skadi allow this blockade to continue, even with the protection of the power of sealing the dragon, these counties will still completely collapse due to the shortage of supplies.

Therefore, in the second week after the blockade was launched, the remaining [-] Destroyer Cavalry finally came out from the capital, Hutton Mar.

"Is it the Destroyer Cavalry again?" Midi frowned slightly.

This is somewhat different from his original expectation.

So far, the attack method used by the Nibelungen Dragon Sealing Formation is very single, basically it is to continuously accumulate magic power and release a destructive spell once a week.In this case, the time for the magic power to fluctuate is extremely short, and it is impossible to secretly cultivate a new tree of life.

That's why Midi adopted this kind of harassment tactic of hitting and running. The purpose is to let the Fenglong formation accumulate thunder and lightning clouds on the several counties of the scroll branch for a long time, so as to ensure long-term magic power fluctuations.
In this way, the saplings of the tree of life of one's own side will have the opportunity to calmly absorb the power of the dragon veins without being discovered.

But now, the opponent once again dispatched the Destroyer Cavalry.

This means that the new power of the Dragon Sealing Formation may not be a persistent long-range strike, but an enhancement spell similar to Blood Rage or Blood Halo.

In this case, to create a state of "continuous fluctuations in magic power", it means that it is necessary to engage in fierce battles with the Destroyer Cavalry for a long time.

Midi is not afraid of fighting, on the contrary, this is the stage that best demonstrates his abilities.

However, he was exhausted.

When the saplings of the Tree of Life grew enough to fight against the Nibelungen Sealing Dragon Formation, he had to take the lead in rushing into the capital, Hutton Mar, how could he get entangled with the Destroyer Cavalry outside?
Besides, not only him, but the Falcon Group under his command also shouldered the important task of breaking through the Dragon Sealing Formation.If you continue to fight fiercely with the destroying iron cavalry on the periphery, let alone how much loss you will suffer. Even if the loss is extremely low, the soldiers will fall into a state of exhaustion. Who will attack again?
As for the Golden Branch Army, Midi's mind flashed for a moment, and he denied it.

This kind of traditional legion with infantry and heavy cavalry as the main force will not have any advantage against the pure cavalry's destructive cavalry.Moreover, they had already lost more than half of them in the battle of Hongguang City. If they were pulled out and entangled with the destroying iron cavalry at this moment, they would have to face the terrible thunder and lightning that could fall overhead at any time, and their chances of winning were extremely low.

As soon as the generals are successful, Midi is not soft-hearted. However, since the Golden Branch Army can't meet the requirement of "continuing to fight against the Destroyer Cavalry for a long time", then he has no interest in sending them out to die.

After much deliberation, the only choice was to let the Falcon Group fight outside, and then let the elite of the Golden Branch Army attack the capital, Hutton Mar.

But is this okay?Can these traditional low-level soldiers really rely on their numerical superiority to fight against those mysterious "pretenders"?

Midi asked herself, but she was not sure at all.

At this moment, there was a din of people's voices outside the big tent.

The next moment, the sound of gate opening one after another continued to sound, and the guards stationed in the central army formation seemed to be decorations, completely unable to prevent the arrival of an uninvited guest.Soon, the curtain of the large tent of the Chinese army where Midi was was lifted up.

"Who?" Midillo was surprised, you know, Fina and Alice are also here, why didn't even they respond?
"I heard that you lack a commander?" Midi answered with a whisper like gold and iron.

That person stood at the door, like a towering mountain, he blocked the sun and the sky, and the golden light outlined an extremely tall silhouette for him behind him, like a god of war walking out of gunpowder smoke and death.

In an instant, at the moment when he saw the face of the visitor clearly, Midi's pupils shrank suddenly.

"It turned out to be you...you?"

When this mysterious figure came to Midi, the commander of the Falcon Regiment, the Destroyer Cavalry finally entered the territory of the Hamilton family, the area controlled by the Scroll branch.

Today, this area is equivalent to enemy territory for Hamilton and the entire principality.Under the protection of Fenglong's power, except for Midi's Falcon Group, almost no army dared to set foot. After all, their movement speed was too slow, and they lacked means of concealment, so they could easily become the target of thunder and lightning.

Therefore, the Destroyer Cavalry traveled unimpeded along the way, almost without encountering any obstacles, and successfully arrived at Wicks County, the largest county under the jurisdiction of this scroll branch.

The clansmen of the Scroll branch were extremely excited about Domingo's arrival. However, in the face of the warm welcome, the "Scroll No. 1" himself gritted his teeth, and there was a flash of hatred in his eyes.

In the battle of Hongguang City, the three major armies of the Seth family were completely wiped out, the Golden Branch Army suffered heavy losses, and the Falcon Army was blocked.However, the situation of destroying the cavalry is not much better.

Originally there were [-] cavalry, but now there are only less than [-] left. More than half of the troops died in the white mist, and many were killed by the lightning summoned by Domingo himself. of.

It was a downright, disastrous defeat.

It was Domingo Hamilton's fiasco in front of Midi Asrex.

But now, this Midi dared to take the initiative to attack the territory of the scroll branch. In Domingo's view, this was a naked insult to himself and even the entire scroll branch.

In the new round of confrontation, he wants to deal a severe blow to this bastard who knows what to do!
"My lord, I found the enemy's trail!" A centurion hurried to Domingo with a bad look on his face.

"Very good." Domingo sneered, "Send the order, the whole army will attack!"

When the Destroyer Cavalry came out in full force, Domingo discovered that the army on the opposite side was somewhat different from the previous information.They are not the high-level adventurers of the Falcon Group, but members of the Golden Branch Legion.

Having held important positions at the top of the Hamilton family for many years, Domingo recognized many familiar faces in an instant.This is indeed the Golden Branch Legion, not some miscellaneous army or the Falcon Group with the banner of three golden lions.

Do you want the Golden Branch Legion and the Falcon Legion to take turns to wear down the Destroyer Cavalry?

Domingo thought he had figured out the purpose of Midi's doing so, so he couldn't help but sneered in his heart.

You know, the current Destroyer Cavalry is completely different from the one in Hongguang City.Relying on the long-distance blessing from the Nibelungen Dragon Sealing Circle, they now have extraordinary resilience, enough to make up for the loss of vitality caused by the blood rage. The only price they need to pay is that their lifespan is greatly reduced.

But this kind of price has little impact on the current war.

The Destroyer Cavalry with strong resilience, coupled with the powerful thunder and lightning air strikes, Domingo believes that he will be able to push Midi and his army to the end, no matter it is the Golden Branch Army or the Falcon Army.

Looking at the Hamilton family flag fluttering in the cold wind, the "Book No. 1" sneered and jumped on his horse.

Five thousand destroying cavalry followed closely behind like a torrent of steel.

At the same time, in the affiliated camp of the Royal Academy of Magic thousands of miles away, in the tunnel hundreds of meters deep underground that was secretly dug by magic, the surging magic power began to fluctuate like a tide.

"The magic power has started to flow. Judging from the speed and quantity of the flow, this is a continuous spell. We can use this time to cultivate the tree of life!" The elf elder said excitedly.

Midi, Fina, and Alice looked at each other, then nodded.

Midi took out the bag containing the tree of life seeds embroidered with countless runes, and then walked forward step by step.

After several days of excavation, together with Alice's high-level earth element summoned beast, a huge and empty hall has been dug at a depth of several hundred meters underground. In the center of the hall, there is a road like The rough root system entrenched like a giant snake.

This is the root system of the tree of life that has grown for hundreds of years in the Principality of Belle Mare.

Midi walked in front of the root system, carefully pulled out the Black Sky Sword, and cut a scar on the root system, and then gently took the tree of life seed that had nine orifices and breathed like a living thing in the bag. put it in lightly.

The tree of life is extremely resilient, as soon as the seeds are put in, the scars heal immediately.

Next, the seed of the tree of life placed in this root system and the dragon vein where the root system is located will take root and germinate on its own, and begin to grow continuously.

However, this is only a theory after all.

Planting another tree of life on the roots of one tree of life has never happened before.I am afraid that only a decisive commander like Midi, at such a critical juncture, would be forced to use this method to obtain a large amount of magic power to accelerate the growth of the seeds.

But what will be the result of doing so, let alone the gardener of the Garden of Dawn, even Midi, a reborn person, has no conclusion.

At this moment, everyone is holding their breath, watching carefully, sensing with concentration, and waiting for the result with anxiety.

Was the seed swallowed by the roots of the tree of life, or did it successfully start to take root?
Or, will it be discovered by the pretender at the first time, and then destroyed?
No one knows the answer, so the only thing to do is wait.

Ten minutes passed, an hour passed, and half a day passed.

The root system of the tree of life is the same as before, without any change.The magic power is still flowing in the dragon veins, but there is no sign of being absorbed.

However, at the next moment, when a full six hours had passed, the magic power around him suddenly fluctuated.

This fluctuation is extremely slight, and it is even more difficult to detect it in the environment of dragon veins that are constantly flowing with magic power. Only by fully concentrating on sensing can you discover it.

Immediately afterwards, without waiting for Midi, Fina, and Alice to confirm the fluctuation, the thick python-like root system suddenly changed.

It trembled for a while, and then countless cracks appeared on the surface. From the cracks, one could see hair-like hair-like hair-like root systems penetrating through the cracks.

Then, with the sound of cracking wood blocks, a seedling that was blooming like an emerald with the light of life finally broke through the root system and slowly stretched out.

The tree of life belonging to Midi finally took root and sprouted.
