"Boy, you're lucky."
Albert coughed a few times and wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, with a look of pride on his young face.
"I have the noble blood of the Moria family on me!"
"It's not bad, it looks like your uncle."
Earl Winter approved, but still shook his head.
Under the city wall, the turbid current in the distance began to surge again.
Mitlan took out the hot crystal ball from his bosom, and the magical image of the Snow King appeared in mid-air, and the king's face looked very ugly.
"Your Majesty, have the people of Farisa withdrawn?"
"...For the most part, your choice is wrong, Mitlan, you are far more important than them now."
The Earl of Winter, who lacked aristocratic temperament, shook his head and smiled.
"You are wrong, Your Majesty. If it is destined to be destroyed, then everyone is the same. At least I can tell him after meeting Charles that the aristocrat's set is useless. I am much better than him!"
As he spoke, he smashed the crystal ball to the ground, and punched each other hard in the chest with the evil-looking Viscount Moria.
The wound on his forehead opened again, blood blurred the count's vision, and the young man's face overlapped with that of his old friend who had disliked each other for a lifetime.
The count looked up at the moon that was gradually disappearing after dawn, and in the dim light of Cheng Xi, the stairs of Edmonnanki gradually became clear.
He ordered the city gate to be opened, patted the heavy sword on his waist, mounted the old horse and started the final charge.
Chapter 76 Fall
Wendel's Blue Ice Bridge is overcrowded.
Nothing like this had been seen on the bridge, large enough for ten horse-drawn carriages, in hundreds of years.Perhaps even the king or god who built this miracle bridge never imagined that such a large number of people would pass through it someday.
The Snow King sat alone in the depths of the palace. This hall, which could accommodate thousands of people, seemed extremely deserted. Under his arrangement, the palace ministers left the palace to take charge of their respective posts.
The chief knight is responsible for maintaining order in the city, and the fleeing team is still entering the city in a steady stream. This should have been the work of the Honorable Earl Charles.
The newly appointed court mage is stationed in the command room of the outermost city wall. Erwin is responsible for the processing and transportation of supplies. In addition, he also leads a team of magicians to reinforce the city wall.
The king's personal attendant should be running in Wendel at this time, and he represents the will of the king.
A crystal ball rolled from the Snow King's hand to the ground. A few minutes ago, Farisa City's defenses fell.This was expected, but also exceeded expectations.
Farisa's fall was doomed, but she delayed far beyond the scheduled time.
Thus, the king was given more time to prepare, when everything was ready, and he fell into a short sleep leaning on his throne.
-
Erwin rubbed his temples, he has been in a state of extreme fatigue for the past few days.
He kept drawing spells, blessing weapons, alchemy, strengthening the city walls, and arranging the distribution of supplies in the first city... Boxes of food and standard weapons flowed into the main castle of the first city, and then in his hands flow out.
There are too many new people in Wendell, and everyone is allocated to living areas and supplies. No matter how many people there are, it is not enough at this time. Everyone can't wait to grow a few more hands.
The magical potion was dripped under Wendell's outer wall, and the already strong city wall was covered with a layer of thorny thorns. Although their hardness is not as good as metal, it is not inferior to stone.
Fortunately, in the process of repeatedly draining his magic power and meditating to recover, he noticed that his mental strength and magic power had been significantly improved.As Mr. Williams said, magic is something that can be mastered through research and study.
The door has been opened in front of him, and the only thing he needs now is time.
"Time...if only there was more time."
While he was busy with the work at hand, while staring at the crystal ball in front of him, he planted a "sentinel" in the vast space ahead of Wendell.Plants infused with Erwin's own magical characteristics can obtain almost no blind spots, making them the most excellent scouts.
This magic was inspired by His Majesty the Snow King's crystal ball. Although it is impossible to obtain such a clear image, it is more than enough to detect the enemy's situation.
Therefore, Erwin can see that hundreds of millions, billions, or even tens of billions, countless cold spiders have approached Wendell King City, and they have engulfed all cities and countries along the way, and it will not be long before Will appear in the line of sight of the defenders.
He watched the last team pass through the Blue Ice Bridge, and the magicians responsible for the reinforcement work had also completed the final steps.
Before long, the sound of the trombone echoed hundreds of feet up, and the distant black clouds engulfed the sky inch by inch.
-
It's running out of time.
At this time, the voice belonging to the king was amplified countless times and reached everyone's ears.
"Notice everyone."
The soldiers, the residents of the royal city, and the refugees who came from all over the place temporarily stopped their movements and became silent, and their intuition told them that something was about to start.
"—Subjects of the Land of Snow."
"In the second year of Nordens Calendar 970, this great country is coming to an end. Whether you are civilians, soldiers or nobles, you must have faced that terrible turbid current. You have survived through hardships until now. Thank you for your hard work."
There were muffled cries that quickly gathered into a stream.
"This is the doomsday announced by the oracle. Our gods said, 'It is your freedom to struggle or wait for destruction'."
"Just lament, even if no one hears, just run, even if there is nowhere to go. But if—if someone is not willing to accept the fate of destruction, and wants to fight or resist, then it doesn't matter."
"The Land of Snow is undoubtedly a great country, and I am proud of it. We don't need the blessing of the gods, and even the oracle can't make us surrender! My subjects, welcome the destruction, and fight to the last! Live till the end of the world!"
First, a small group of people began to respond, and then the sound spread to all directions, from the streets to the square, and then to the inner wall, outer wall, and spread to the entire royal city.
"Until...the end of the world!"
The sky had darkened, Erwin had distributed the last of his armaments, and he took a cedar staff from the wall behind him.
"As expected of Your Majesty, I...can't embarrass the teacher."
He pressed his trembling right hand and strode away from the castle.
-
The old man in an embroidered silver robe led a team to station behind the Blue Ice Bridge. He was the great magician of the Eugen family and Trudeau Eugen, who had fought against Ella Williams in the celebration competition.
Trudeau glanced at the young man in the blue robe, and his face couldn't help becoming a little displeased.
He once thought that he was one of the most experienced magicians in Snow Country, except for the unnamed court mage and the nearly pure-blooded wind fairy girl, there should be no stronger magician than him.
But during the ceremony, an unheard-of young girl defeated her and later obtained the coveted status of court magician.
After a period of hellish days, the girl who suddenly appeared climbed the ladder to the sky, and two other people who were far better than herself also died one after another.
Trudeau felt that his chance had come. He was undoubtedly the best candidate to fill the vacancy of the court mage. As long as he survived this damn war, he would gain unimaginable honor and status.
But the accident happened again...
There was jealousy hidden in the old man's eyes. It would be fine if the first two court mages were far better than him, but what was Erwin?That's just a young boy with insufficient pedigree and insufficient experience. Erwin just learned some strange things from the second court mage. Why did His Majesty give him such a status?
It is a great shame that I even need to accept Erwin's orders and arrangements now.
Trudeau even began to look forward to the start of the war, perhaps his performance on the battlefield would persuade His Majesty to change his mind.
At this moment, a long trumpet sound came, and black clouds covered the sky.
That was not the war he understood. As one of the few great magicians in Eugenland, his work was more in the rear.It was the first time for the old man to face the insect swarm in the outside world, but what appeared in front of him was something far beyond his imagination, it was the end, it was a natural disaster, it was destruction——
A bright beam of light appeared above the bridge, and the powerful fluctuation of magic power shocked the old man.Erwin is like a lighthouse in the dark, the place where he stands has become the most dangerous eye of the hurricane and turbid current!
Countless cold spiders were attracted by the lighthouse, and flocked to the new court mage one after another.
Under the dazzling light, Trudeau froze, as if he had turned into a clown.At this moment, the old man understood that he had already been left far behind by Erwin.
-
Erwin's magic suddenly lowered the pressure in other areas of the city wall, and the fireballs made by thousands of spells burst together, and a large number of cold spiders were attracted to a small area, and then ignited by the flames. Ineffective under attack.The extreme heat should have evaporated the moisture in their bodies before the flames could fully erupt.
Although the number of cold spiders far exceeds the defenders, the only way to reach Wendel from the other side is the Blue Ice Bridge. Under the bridge is an extremely steep rift abyss, which is several miles deep. It is not accessible to ordinary cold spiders. The distance that could be traversed by jumping, even a bridge made of spider silk, would not reach this length.
Therefore, as long as the bridge is guarded, the only thing that can pose a threat to Wendel for the time being is the Leng Spider with the ability to fly.
Hundreds of Shantak birds built a defense line in the air. Each giant bird was equipped with multiple archers and magicians. Facing such a large number of cold spiders, it was almost impossible for them to survive.
Wendell's city wall does not have the wind and snow wall that appeared in Caroten before, and the Snow King seems to have other plans, so he dare not use magic power easily.
But fortunately, the height of Wendell's city wall itself is far higher than that of Carlotine. In terms of structure, there are nearly a thousand bed crossbows built on the giant city wall with a three-story structure, the inner wall, the female wall, and the outer wall. The cold spiders pose a deadly threat. Nearly a thousand magicians and tens of thousands of crossbow teams are distributed on the three city walls. For a while, the cold spiders flying in the air cannot pose a fatal threat to the city defense.
Erwin retracted the ball of light, and the vines sliding under his feet moved him parallel to the other end of the city wall.
He turned his attention to the bridge under the city wall, where the bigger problem lay.
As time passed, more and more cold spiders piled up on the other side of the bridge, but the number of defenders at the bridgehead was limited.Not only that, the casualties above the city wall are also gradually increasing. The defenders need to concentrate on dealing with the black clouds gathering in the sky, unable to pay more attention to the city wall.
If this continues, it is only a matter of time before the bridge falls.
Excessive thinking distracted his attention, and a cold spider web shot at his left chest at this moment. Because of the court mage's robe, the attack that would have killed him on the spot was deflected by a few inches. There was a deep scratch on his chest.
The numbness quickly spread from the wound to all directions, and Erwin's breathing became difficult. He had no energy left to deal with the injury and poison.
He spit out a mouthful of purple-black dirty blood, and the blood vessels under the skin stood out, showing an abnormal bluish-black color.
As far as Erwin could see, the ground began to shake. It was the giant cold spider that had appeared in front of the Carrotine city wall. In the endless shadows, there were at least three creatures of such an abnormal size.
If this kind of thing is allowed to pass through the bridge, even Wendel's city wall will be destroyed.
"Time is so short..."
He sighed and recited the very awkward mantra with difficulty.
This magic that is gradually taking shape is obviously beyond the scope of Erwin's ability. His skin begins to show the texture of dead wood. The loss of control has exceeded a certain limit and has become irreversible. But at this time, Erwin, who is infinitely tending to lose control Wen has gained a very powerful magic power.
If Ella were here at this time, she would be amazed at Erwin's talent.This half-breed mage of the jungle elves was chanting a spell that Ella hadn't fully mastered, which was the second talisman of the "Seven Chapters of the Secret Sutra of the Xuanjun".
The ground near the bridge began to churn, something very large was called, and cracks appeared hundreds of feet across the magnificent bridge of solid ice.
Even spar bombardment can hardly leave traces on this ice bridge. The blue ice bridge that has existed for more than hundreds of years is itself a miracle!But at this time, cracks spread on the bridge deck, and its fall was already doomed.
"Teacher...I didn't embarrass you, did I?"
