Chapter 218 Past Events and Castle Crisis [Please subscribe] [Fill the hole]
Magtan City.
This small city is located on the western border of the Kingdom of Duroa.
It's so inconspicuous.
It's just a remote corner of the kingdom.
But this is where Ansetus Axel's dream began.
He got married and started a business here, met his lover, had children, and had a home.
But all of this suddenly turned into black and white after he accidentally entered the misty canyon nine Naloya years ago.
At that time, he and his lover Sharon were exploring the ruins in the canyon.
I accidentally discovered the sealed cave deep in the canyon.
There, he and Sharon met the black dragon Baile who was in a restricted state!
At that time, Belle was overjoyed when he saw the two of them.
Being trapped for hundreds of Narayana years is not something anyone can endure.
The most important thing is that seeing the Naroa natives from the outside world means there is hope of lifting the shackles.
So the demon dragon Baile used the dragon language magic skill to try to arouse the desire in the two people's hearts.
And asked Sharon and Ansetus to kill each other, so that the flesh and blood corpse and soul of one of them could be used as ritual nourishment to train the other into a demon servant.
The result was unexpected.
When the desire in their hearts was completely detonated, both of their eyes turned red.
However, Sharon did not attack Ansetus. She just shed tears and repeatedly chanted the names of Ansetus and Ophelia.
The former is her lover and the latter is her child. This is the most persistent concern in Sharon's heart.
But Ansetus became crazy in lust and killed Sharon, who had no idea of resisting him.
It wasn't until his wife died that he suddenly woke up, but it was a done deal.
The previous memories boiled in his mind, causing him to endure a hundred and twenty points of pain.
Using Sharon's flesh and blood corpse, the dragon successfully activated the ritual of transformation of the demon servant.
It used its own dragon blood as a guide to suppress the magic in Ansetus, and at the same time gave him the power of the dragonborn.
After doing this, the Black Demon Dragon Baile has a demon servant who can perfectly hide his identity in the outside world.
In order to help Ansetus rise rapidly among the native people.
It also provides a message.
That is, there is a dark gold mine near the Misty Canyon.
Back then, Ansetus had reached the silver level in cultivation very early, and his talent was quite good.
However, after being transformed into a demon, it cannot perform magic cultivation.
Instead, he used the capital obtained from developing the Dark Gold Mine to create the Colchicum Merchant Group.
Later, in order to expand the scale of mining and conversion of dark gold mines, Ansetus chose to cooperate with the Red-haired Walton family for coinage distribution.
At the same time, we use the channels of the Walton family to quietly collect various resources needed to unlock the magic dragon.
This collection process lasted several Naraya years.
The last step was to collect sacrificial materials. To this end, he recruited a large number of pioneering laborers in the name of the Colchicum Merchant Group. Every time he went out to pioneer with the team, dozens or twenty people would always go missing.
A disappearance of this level is simply inconspicuous in Magtan City.
It was during this process that Ansetus and Ursula met.
At that time, Yusula's status in the family was not high.
But she learned about the Dark Gold Mine from her family's private network, and tried to hook up with Ansetus.
In fact, Ursula had already gotten together with Baron Bezos Chebman at that time.
After all, the red-haired Walton is also a family power in the giant city.
Both in terms of scale and vision, it is far from being comparable to a small place like Magtan City.
A dark gold mine is not worth their madness, because there are many other industries under the family.
Therefore, it is normal for Yusula to get this news.
But knowing that she knows, this benefit is beyond her reach.
And there is no way she can remain Baron Bezos’ underground lover.
Under such circumstances, Ansetus became the best successor in her eyes.
As long as you marry Ansetus, you will not only be able to continue to live openly in Magtan City, but you will also have the opportunity to find a way to get the secret of the dark gold mine.
Hence the following series of stories.
When she was united with Ansetus, she was already pregnant with Harward.
In fact, Ansetus already knew her little plan.
He was just using Ursula to seemingly further bind himself to the Walton family.
After all, Dark Gold Mine is a shady business, while Colchicum is on the table.
After he combined with Yusula, the Colchicum Merchant Group had an extra layer of protection.
There was also an episode during this period, that is, Sharon's death was not announced.
At that time Ursula thought Sharon was not dead yet.
So Ansetus took advantage of his trick and asked her to go to the alchemy shop to buy various poisonous potions.
Made a fake show.
Ophelia was still young at the time and didn't understand the inside story at all.
The records she later found confirmed the situation at that time.
Looking back on these chaotic lives.
Ansetus' expression was still cold.
The transformation ritual of the demon servant cannot be forced. He had many evil thoughts after being aroused by desire.
Then he volunteered to become a demon servant.
He didn't have much regret for embarking on this path.
The only people who can make him feel guilty are Sharon and Ophelia.
In fact, no one knew the cruelty of Naloa better than Ansetus.
He has already seen the trajectory of the future.
If he had not become a demon servant and obtained the Dark Gold Mine, let alone developed the Colchicum Merchant Group, I am afraid that what awaited him and Sharon would have been death in some dangerous commission.
If you want to become a gold-level person, you need to spend a lot of time, resources, and practice water grinding kung fu.
This is the tragedy of little people.
Those young gold-level experts are not only gifted, but also often come from prominent backgrounds.
The shelter and resources provided by the family are enough for them to cultivate to the gold level safely.
But Ansetus and Sharon don't have such conditions, they have to fight for it themselves.
Having reached this point, Ansetus has no regrets.
The dragon-born demon servant gave him direct power comparable to that of a fourth-level monster, and without the need for training, his strength will gradually increase over time, and now he has already reached the strongest level among fifth-level monsters.
During this period, the Black Demon Dragon Baile also taught him blood magic skills.
Through these eight or nine years of interaction in Narayana, the demon dragon has already regarded him as a confidant.
He planned to introduce Ansetus to the Black Flame Lord after heading to the battle line channel.
Abandoning the original path and embarking on a brand new path is a new beginning.
For him, the destruction of Magtan City brought an end to the past.
Standing on the back of the four-winged magic eagle, he looked at the mighty army of monsters below and suddenly waved his arms.
"Attack!"
"Go and destroy the reptilian castle!"
"The one who breaks the formation first will be baptized with demon blood by Lord Baile!"
"Dirty inferior species, this is your chance to change your destiny!"
Ansetus shouted loudly in proficient demon language.
Inspired by him, the monster below let out a crazy howl.
Their pace was much faster, and they rushed along the street towards the castle.
There are many important buildings in the first circle, and at this time, magic energy shields have been raised one after another.
But the monsters turned a blind eye to this. Their goals were clear, and they only saw the towering castle!
Even the battle forts that harassed them along the way and tried to hinder the monsters' advance were ignored.
...
In the castle of Baron Bezos.
"Report!"
"The monster has not been restrained by the battle fort, and the forward is approaching the castle at this time!"
The messenger quickly reported the situation to the castle meeting hall.
On the stone walls and towers outside the castle, all the soldiers looked at the rapidly approaching monsters with some panic.
The high-ranking officers were stationed at the front line, leaving only a relatively young deputy lieutenant as the top officer of the garrison.
He is obviously not as experienced as Tansen and Nasram.
Looking at the mighty army of monsters, he could only grit his teeth to hide the fear and nervousness in his heart.
"Archers...Archers shoot!"
"Crossbowmen shoot!"
"Gun and Shield Squadron guard the wall..."
After giving the order stumblingly, he reluctantly entered the state of a commander.
Two to three hundred crossbow archers fired the first wave of arrows at the monster.
But this level of shooting has no deterrent effect on the monster army.
Far less shocking than the longbow throw from the front line.
A large group of bear goblins and minotaurs holding logs as shields acted as the vanguard, roaring loudly and charging towards them.
There is only a stone wall with a height of seven or eight meters on the outside of the castle, which is far less strong than the tower.
When the stone wall is broken through, it becomes the castle itself.
The arrows shot the monster at the front into sieves.
One after another, bear goblins fell on the charging road.
But those minotaurs are more resistant to roughness.
Even though there were arrows in front of him, he still charged forward with steady steps.
After all, it is a third-level monster known for its defense and strength, and it must be able to withstand more injuries.
Due to the small depth of the battlefield, the monsters quickly charged under the wall.
The three-meter-tall Minotaur is already half as high as the stone wall.
After arriving under the wall, they inserted the logs in their hands into the ground regardless of their injuries.
Then the second, third, fourth...
the Minotaur at the front fell, and more Minotaurs and Bear Goblins came.
Behind them are the poison-tailed scorpion and the magic-patterned tiger.
Basically, they are second- and third-level monsters.
The minotaurs built steps out of logs, and they began to slam into the walls.
The magic pattern tiger in the rear stepped on the log platform and climbed up the stone wall to engage in hand-to-hand combat with the garrison.
Fortunately, the number is still small, and the garrison on the wall can be dealt with after forming a formation.
The poison-tailed scorpion moves "rustlingly", and its sharp legs can climb the wall directly.
"Throw magic tears!"
The monster had a tendency to break through the stone wall in a short time after seeing it.
The lieutenant ordered repeatedly.
Demonic Tears are the most intuitive and most effective way to deal with monsters in their hands.
Test tubes of magic tears were thrown out.
After it shattered, the silver-white liquid rolled down everywhere, and then slowly evaporated into mercury vapor.
The monsters that came into contact with the magic tears let out pitiful wails.
In fact, large pieces of magic tears will have obvious changes when eroding monsters.
As the erosion progresses, the magic tears will gradually change from silvery white to black.
After several rounds of magic tear throwing, he barely managed to gain seven or eight minutes.
At this time, reinforcements and the light cavalry battalion from the second circle had also arrived, but they could only interfere on the outside.
Regardless of average level or quantity, the advantage lies with the monsters.
These reinforcements don't dare to act recklessly, otherwise they will just send food.
Ansetus always stepped on the back of the magic eagle, without any intention of taking action.
In fact, the defenders below were at the highest level of silver level, so he did not need to take action personally.
And Ansetus didn't want to show off here.
The original Colchicum merchant group was the largest merchant group in Magatan City.
As the person in charge, he is also a well-known figure in the city.
Now there are a large number of chief officials in Magatan City gathered below, and everyone basically knows each other.
He didn't want to cause any shocking drama.
He just wanted to break into the castle, kill Baron Bezos and these guys, dismantle the command level of Magattan City from the inside, and complete the mission assigned by the Black Demon Dragon Baile.
"Destroy the city!"
Ansetus was seen hiding in the black mist composed of chaotic magic power, and he issued a new order again!
After he spoke, the monsters that had been staying behind finally moved.
They were a group of third-level two-headed ogres, holding tree sticks and about the same height as a minotaur.
There is a short horn on each of the two heads. The skin is yellow and has black magic lines.
Under the command of Ansetus, they ran wildly and came to the wall. The tree sticks in their hands were wrapped with chaotic magic power, and they beat the stone wall crazily.
The width of this stone wall is only about two meters.
It soon crumbled under the impact of the Minotaur and the knocks of the two-headed ogre.
The steam composed of magic tears will be consumed when the monster dies.
Coupled with the dissipation of natural airflow, it cannot be maintained for a long time.
Three magic tears per person can only do so much.
This is all because magic tears are too expensive, and in the environment of the Naroa continent, the production of magic tears is too small.
Most of the magic tear minerals are easily converted into another substance by the influence of free magic power.
This makes the magic tears a perfect war necessity.
Even if Chen Xuan is backed by Blue Star, it is not easy to distribute on a large scale. It requires a fixed industrial chain to support it.
Otherwise, even if three to five tons of mercury are distributed at one time, the average person will not receive a few tubes at all.
In fact, instead of popularizing this kind of magic tear test tube, it is better to work on developing mercury bullets, bombs and spray machines.
"Boom!"
An overwhelming sound finally came from the stone wall on the side.
Collapse occurred.
The monsters roared with excitement.
They ignored the flying arrows and thrusting spears, colliding crazily and rushing towards the wall.
The garrison guarding the wall quickly retreated, and many fell down halfway or when the wall collapsed.
Everyone rushed towards the gate of the castle, where a formation of resisting horses and spears was built.
But obviously it can't be stopped for long.
What is considered to be relied upon is the layer of magic energy shield.
However, when being besieged, even the strongest shield will always be broken!
at this time.
A magic vortex suddenly appeared in the mage tower located in the first circle.
