Chapter 219 Ahn'Qiraj's promotion, the fall of the castle [please subscribe]
This magical whirlpool came and went as quickly as it came.
Almost immediately after it took shape, it quickly converged and disappeared.
At the same time, in Magatan City’s mage tower.
Ahn'Qiraj Laud, who had been in a state of enlightenment before, suddenly opened his eyes, as if awakened from a big dream.
Her eyes became extraordinarily bright and energetic, and her surging spiritual power naturally radiated around her.
With just a thought, mental power can turn into reality and extend to a hundred meters away.
This is a sign that meditation has entered the fourth level!
This means that Ahn'Qiraj has officially broken through the shackles of a third-level spellcaster and become a fourth-level archmage!
You must know that a fourth-level spell caster is more powerful than a simple gold-level magic practitioner.
The former is a reckless man, while the latter is a real magic fort on the battlefield.
Ranking is just a system, not an absolute standard for measuring strength.
Just like most non-high-level monsters, they are generally half a level weaker than the natives of Naloa.
The target of fifth-level conventional monsters is gold-level magic practitioners.
But if it is a fifth-level magic dragon, it can usually defeat a gold-level magic practitioner.
The strength gap among them is huge,
but the Black Demon Dragon Baile is an exception because it has not yet returned to its peak state.
At present, it is stronger than the ordinary fifth-level monster guard.
In its heyday, it was about to be promoted to the sixth level.
In comparison, the fourth-level spellcasters in the Naroa Aboriginal system can completely compete with most fifth-level monsters, and they can still be regarded as a figure even if they are placed in a giant city.
After all, Ahn'Qiraj, who had been stuck at the peak of the third level, was enough to sit in the Mage Tower in the city.
The caster takes it one step at a time, making huge changes with each improvement.
Mental power brings about a series of changes, including the ability to comprehend and refine perceptions.
The previously obscure secrets of spellcasting have now become extremely clear.
Apart from these details, the most important thing is spell promotion.
At this time, Ahn'Qiraj could already understand the secrets of the fourth-level large-scale magic.
During the long years when she was stuck in a bottleneck, she was not idle and studied some fourth-level spells.
The profound meanings that could not be understood at the time are now fully realized.
I don’t know if this counts as accumulation.
High-level large-scale magic is comparable to natural disasters, and can easily cover hundreds of meters or even kilometers in radius.
Use the elemental pull to set off lightning and thunder, violent winds and rain, and brilliant seas of fire.
Its power is by no means comparable to low-level single-target magic.
This is also the real strength of the fourth-level archmage.
I felt all the changes after promotion in my mind.
Ahn'Qiraj Laud couldn't help but be filled with emotion.
She stood up floatingly, her whole body seemed to have its own repulsion, and those suspended particles and dust were not allowed to come close.
This is a manifestation of mental power passively interfering with reality.
At this time, the mage tower opened the magic energy shield, standing like an oval and slender ball of light on the first circle.
Walking slowly down the tower, Ahn'Qiraj found his deputy and asked about the current situation.
"How is the battle situation now?"
"Have the monsters invaded the town?"
"Where is the master?"
She took off her hood for the first time in so many years and removed the old woman's disguise.
He returned to his stubborn face with short burgundy hair, fair and delicate skin, and small and exquisite eyebrows.
Time has not left too many traces on her body.
At this moment, she looks like a young girl who has just grown up.
This made the second-in-command of the Mage Tower, a third-level mid-level mage named Brett Coelho, stunned.
Then he reacted in a daze.
"You...are you the President of Ahn'Qiraj?"
Brett looked at the emblem on her chest and the familiar robe, with a surprised look on his face.
The two parties have worked together for several Naroyan years, and he has never seen Ahn'Qiraj's lineup.
The question he blurted out was not answered, and Brett took a few steps back as if he was frightened.
"..."
"You have been promoted!"
His keen perception allowed him to discover the changes in Ahn'Qiraj.
Especially the natural suppression brought about by the promotion of mental power made Brett feel a little panicked.
In response, Ahn'Qiraj just nodded lightly.
The Brett in front of him was also contracted by Chen Xuan as the deacon who controlled the Mage Tower in Bangcheng.
So there is no problem at all asking about the "master" in front of him.
And Ahn'Qiraj Loud is in a good mood right now.
The frustration caused by not being able to advance for many years disappeared at this moment.
The big stone in my heart finally fell to the ground.
Only now did she understand that letting go of her attachment to the Rose Key fragments and understanding herself was the true way to practice.
She lost the opportunity to encounter the Shadow Fragment of the Rose Key, but this freed her from the shackles in her heart.
I was able to focus all my efforts on promotion.
After witnessing the field of [Time Walks Slowly], he gained enlightenment and broke the shackles of dust in one fell swoop.
This might not be a bad thing for her.
In the future, Ahn'Qiraj will have every opportunity to witness a new world that is higher and farther.
This made her feel refreshed and even her mood became particularly happy.
As for signing a contract and becoming Chen Xuan's slave, she didn't have much trouble with it.
Being a slave is also relative, the key depends on who is enslaving her.
Ahn'Qiraj is convinced of Chen Xuan, and she understands who is the real variable in this world.
Looking at Brett, whose expression changed several times, she didn't say much.
This guy had been working with her for several years, and most of the time the relationship was uneventful.
I still remember that when Brett first arrived at the Mage Tower in Bangcheng, he had just entered the third level.
At that time, he had great respect for the senior Ahn'Qiraj.
Later, after Brett practiced from the early stage to the middle stage of the third level, his attitude changed slightly.
In his eyes, Ahn'Qiraj is a "retirement" spellcaster who cannot break through his shackles.
There are many such spellcasters in the giant city.
But he didn't expect that at this moment, Ahn'Qiraj would directly give him a big shock.
After a few seconds of silence, Brett, who was a little distracted, finally came to his senses.
He quickly bowed and saluted, and truthfully reported the latest situation to Ahn'Qiraj.
"The master is not in the city, and his whereabouts are unknown."
"The latest news is that the monsters have broken through the third circle of defense and are invading this circle." "
In addition, there is something strange happening in Akso Manor, and there is a suspected ritual altar that teleports over a large area. "
Just over twenty minutes ago, tens of thousands of monsters suddenly descended there and were launching a fierce attack on the Baron's castle!" When
talking about business, Brett couldn't help but become serious.
Both are on the first circle, and the location of the Mage Tower is exactly opposite to Axl Manor.
In this circular core city, located in the very center is the Baron's Castle.
Hearing this, Ahn'Qiraj Loud suddenly frowned.
"The master is not in the city?"
"We must not let the castle fall!"
"Brett, summon the remaining spellcasters in the tower and follow me to support!"
There is a huge disparity in strength between the monsters and the Magtan City defenders.
Head-on confrontation is difficult to win.
This is the consensus of everyone and is also the truth.
Even though the strength of monsters is generally half a level weaker than that of aboriginals, they can't stand up to their large numbers.
A warehouse full of rats killed the tiger.
What's more, the monster is not a weak mouse.
The Mage Tower is a regional force affiliated with the Magic Association.
After most of the caster members have been transferred to various parts of the city for support.
They must leave some tower guards to ensure that the various spell inheritance and research materials stored in the mage tower are not damaged.
It's just that Ahn'Qiraj didn't expect that after awakening, the monsters could break into the city directly with prepared means and launched a fierce attack on the Baron's castle.
The baron's castle cannot withstand the siege of tens of thousands of monsters.
The defense line of Magtan City itself is a multi-circle model from the outside to the inside.
The advantage is that the defense system is complete and has sufficient defense depth.
The disadvantage is that the garrison strength is destined to be dispersed.
The larger the defense zone, the lower the unit defense density.
The most embarrassing thing is that the monster directly bypassed the circle of defenses and launched an attack from the core area.
This made it difficult for the garrison to defend effectively.
If you engage in head-on fighting and blocking, it will be no less than sending yourself to death.
Neither numbers nor average strength dominate.
Use your head to fight head-on.
Fortunately, after Ahn'Qiraj advanced to the Archmage level, he had the ability to cast a wide range of magic.
As long as the entry point is appropriate, the situation on the local battlefield may be changed.
This is the real reason why spellcasters are considered baby bumps.
When Ahn'Qiraj Lord spoke personally, Brett did not dare to neglect and quickly summoned the spellcasters guarding the tower.
On the same spot, Ahn'Qiraj's eyes became profound, as if he was looking forward to it, but also seemed to be in a trance.
...
At this moment, the Baron's castle is being attacked by monsters.
The magic energy shield was beaten and rippled.
The magic shield generating device under the castle soon became overloaded.
The spell disk used to fill the magic core for charging emitted bursts of smoke.
The central core with a large number of inscriptions is carved from a whole mithril pillar, combined with precious magic materials such as dark gold and gem powder.
At that moment, the mithril center cracked.
The shallow cracks are spreading rapidly, and when they are connected together, they will become large cracks.
Until the center of the device is completely destroyed, the magic shield cannot be maintained.
"Damn it!"
"According to the current attack intensity.
"The castle's shield center can only last for 0.03 water clock hours at most! "
The garrison responsible for filling the magic energy was sweating profusely.
Around him were the gray magic core empty shells after the magic power was exhausted.
This thing consumes thousands of crowns worth of magic core every moment.
Normally, It cannot be used at all and can only be used in wartime.
But even so, it is still difficult to restore the situation and can only be delayed for a certain period of time.
Fortunately, the castle itself also has the function of a defensive battle fortress.
As early as the beginning of its construction, the castle The walls and towers of the castle have been reinforced with the runes of the Magic Builder.
Even if the shield is broken, it can continue to withstand attacks for a period of time.
Let’s not mention the busyness and tension of the underground center.
On the terrace of the castle, Besso Baron Si's expression was complicated.
Because the family's dragon steel sword had been requisitioned, he was now holding a two-handed sword commonly used by state warriors. The
obese Mrs. Zuzana stood behind him, rarely becoming stable and calm.
After many years of marriage, only at this moment did she give her husband enough respect.
Because she knew that from the moment the castle was breached, this man would stand in front of him without hesitation.
Looking at the monsters that were attacking crazily in front of the castle, Bei Baron Soth frowned.
Losing the front line and retreating to the second circle is not good news.
Now the monsters have even made a surprise attack on the Baron's castle, which makes the future even less optimistic.
The most important thing is that the master is also missing. .
All the above things that happened made Baron Bezos feel uncertain.
The situation in front of him has already become extremely bad.
If there is no turning point, the fall of the castle seems to be a foregone conclusion!
By the time he and a large number of officials in the city are revealed, After his death, the command system in the city will immediately be paralyzed. The
defense dispatch of the battle line will fall into chaos.
Such a situation will inevitably accelerate the destruction of Magtan City.
Silently holding the sword in his hand, Baron Bezos sighed leisurely.
He turned back He glanced at his wife and then gave her a deep kiss.
Because this may be the last kiss.
After many years of living together, he still has feelings for Mrs. Zuzana.
"My dear, can we survive? ? "
Ms. Zuzana asked with an anxious look.
In response, Baron Bezos just nodded slightly.
"We can all survive.
"When the time comes, we will go to the outpost to reunite with our daughters. " "
"But now I have to fulfill my responsibilities as the Baron of the Kingdom and the Lord of Magtan City."
After saying that, he raised his two-handed sword and left the room resolutely.
When they arrived at the castle fighting position, everyone was ready.
In addition to the more than a thousand people killed on the stone wall, there were still more than 4,000 people guarding the castle.
Fortunately, the castle is big enough and can be accommodated.
If the monster wants to occupy the castle, it must fill it with flesh and blood!
Longbowmen and crossbowmen occupied the high ground of the tower.
The garrison held their own weapons and guarded every fighting position and both ends of every passage.
Seeing the arrival of Baron Bezos, everyone barely cheered up.
In the face of a crisis, seeing the superior can always relieve some tension.
The castle's thin gate cannot stop the monster's advance.
Therefore, the first line of defense is placed at the door and the lobby after entering.
It consists of horsemen, spearmen and a garrison of about 240 people.
Without speaking, Baron Bezos stood behind the battle line, waiting in silence!
Maybe a minute passed, maybe two or three minutes passed.
"Boom!"
There was a crisp sound like a bubble being popped.
The next moment, the noise from the outside world suddenly entered the castle!
This means that the magic shield has been breached!
"Gudong!"
Everyone swallowed subconsciously.
Immediately afterwards, shouts of killing and chopping sounds came from outside the castle gate, which was just around the corner.
The howls of the monsters intertwined with the screams of the garrison!
"Bang!"
The door shook continuously.
The aura of the runes on the surface is getting darker and darker!
"Boom!"
Finally, after a loud noise, cracks appeared in the door.
Through this crack, you can see the garrison fighting monsters at close range outside and the bloody horse hanging with corpses!
"Cang!"
The sonorous collision sound was heard endlessly, making everyone feel desperate!
...
