Chapter 75: Fierce Beasts Attack the City (13) Please read it!
After hearing the words of the fourth-class apprentice standing next to Master Simon, Yihua and some of the surrounding apprentices gathered towards Master Simon.
Through the corner of his eye, Yi Hua saw nearly a hundred apprentices from the Silver Star Society not far away also gathering immediately.
Seeing that all the apprentices under the five mentors had gathered, and looking at the hundreds of remaining apprentices in the square, several deputies announced loudly:
"The remaining apprentices can choose any fifth-level wizard they want to follow and join their team!
" After the reorganization was completed, the five instructors led a mighty team of thousands of apprentices and headed towards the mortal world outside the academy.
——If
Yoel City is the southern gateway for the empire to defend against Fangorn Forest, then Camilla City is the northern gateway for the Nine Rings White Tower Wizard Academy to defend against Fangorn Forest.
The two cities stood guarding each other, separated by the Fangorn Forest in the middle.
To the west of the college, across Wheat Sui City, across the Barony of Raphael, and a hundred miles to the west, is where Camilla City, the largest city directly controlled by the college, is located at the southern end of the main island of the Star Tree Islands.
At this time, in the north of Camilla City, the city wall was nearly 20 meters high and covered with densely packed improvised artillery.
A middle-aged man wearing a bronze badge symbolizing the third-class wizard of the academy is looking into the distance with a solemn look on his face.
If Yi Hua were present, he would be able to tell that the other party was the senior brother he met outside the reception room of Master Simon when he handed over the Blood Plague Bead, the lord of Camilla City - Fabius.
Smoke and dust billowed on the ground a kilometer away to the north of the city, and heavy thunderous footsteps could be heard. It seemed that a large number of large creatures were approaching Camilla City at great speed.
Even if everyone stands on the city wall, they can feel the trembling of the earth.
On the surrounding city walls, there were seven or eight second-class apprentices standing.
But compared to the wizard, there was more of a mortal guard wearing half-armor. Most of these guards were only at the level of trainee knights, and some even had bloody bandages wrapped around their bodies.
In addition to the hundreds of knights who were mixed on the thousands-meter-long city wall, always ready to draw their bows and arrows, and dozens of high knights who were the commanders of the guards.
The rest of the guards turned pale when facing the movement not far away, and their legs were trembling.
At the city gate under the city wall, dozens of people who wanted to enter the city were still gathered. They also saw the tide of beasts in the distance.
The panic on their faces almost overflowed, and they knocked on the city gate one after another, begging hard for a chance to enter the city.
The city wall in the north of the city stretches for thousands of meters. Now that the beast wave will arrive in a few minutes, they have no time to leave and escape.
The only way for this group of mortals to survive is to enter the city before the beast tide comes.
"Master Knight, please let us enter the city!"
A young man and woman, holding their infant baby in their arms, knelt in front of the city gate and kowtowed desperately, trying to get a chance to enter the city.
A young official knight who was responsible for guarding the city gate couldn't bear it. He asked the middle-aged knight who was the captain of the guard for instructions:
"Captain of the guard, I'm a little confused. There are still at least several minutes before the beast tide arrives. Time, this is enough time to open the city gate and let these civilians in, right?" The
middle-aged knight snorted coldly when he heard this, and after a moment he said:
"There will always be risks as long as the door is opened. The city lord has issued a ban on opening the door. Order, now the beast tide is about to arrive. If the beast tide enters the city because of the opening of the city gate, can you bear the responsibility?" The
young knight was stunned for a moment after hearing the explanation of the guard captain, and sighed helplessly, forcing himself Ignore the noisy cries and pleas outside the city gate.
Minutes flew by.
The dense beast tide was less than a few hundred meters away from the city wall. Many houses and wheat fields outside the city were mercilessly trampled by the beast tide, leaving only ruins.
Fabius on the city wall stared intently at the red line that had been drawn on the ground in the distance until the beast tide crossed it.
"Fire the arrow!"
Following the order, hundreds of formal knights and great knights suddenly shot out arrows that had already been on their strings.
With the help of the bow and arrow that ordinary people could not pull at all and the inhuman strength of the knight, the arrow instantly spanned a distance of hundreds of meters and shot into the tide of beasts not far away without any hindrance.
Accompanied by the sound of arrows piercing the air and entering flesh, there was also the roar of dozens of artillery on the city wall spitting tongues of fire.
boom! boom! boom!
Cannonballs fell into the beasts one after another, setting off billowing black smoke.
Before the black smoke dissipated, the knights who had been prepared fired another round of arrows, and this continued for three rounds.
Bearing scars and seemingly reduced in number, the beast tide arrived a hundred meters outside the city.
"Lord Fabius, we have found out that after three rounds of arrow and artillery attacks, there are less than 200 ferocious beasts left in this round of beast tide, including fifty-six second-class ferocious beasts, and thirty-six third-class ferocious beasts. Three ferocious beasts!"
After all, the artillery in Camilla City is just a human weapon, although it can cause significant damage to first-class ferocious beasts.
But facing second-level or even third-level ferocious beasts with powerful extraordinary power, it seemed a little powerless.
Hearing the alarmed report from the second-class apprentice next to him, Fabius, who was covered in all kinds of gorgeous magical props, looked into the distance.
I saw three huge Cyclops that were more than ten meters tall and vaguely followed behind the beast tide. The leader was nearly twenty meters tall, almost as high as the city wall.
The strength of the Cyclops is directly proportional to its size. Seeing the scene in front of him, Fabius clenched his fists.
"Damn it, the third-level ferocious beasts can already cause serious damage to the walls of Camilla City. We must stop the beast tide outside the city!"
Fabius glanced towards the east subconsciously, and then slowly exhaled.
"Listen to my order! All formal knights and above, follow me out of the city to meet the enemy!"
Under the propagation of the amplification technique, people on the entire city wall heard this order, and several second-hand soldiers beside Fabius The hearts of the other apprentices and the hundreds of official knights on the city wall suddenly tightened.
There is only one third-level wizard, Fabius, in Camilla City. Even though his strength is considered to be the best among third-level wizards, he cannot defeat a third-level ferocious beast in a short time.
This also means that many knights and wizard apprentices present will face two other third-level ferocious beasts. Once they are regarded as targets, they will inevitably end up dead.
But the military orders were like mountains, and no one dared to disobey them, not to mention that most of them had families living in the city.
For the sake of their loved ones, they chose to obey the order of the city lord Fabius, and without hesitation followed the prepared rope connected to the city wall and quickly jumped off the city wall.
The physical fitness of a formal knight level has exceeded the limit of mortals several times. Facing a city wall less than 20 meters high, although you will not die if you jump directly, you will be slightly injured if you are unlucky.
In order to reduce losses and buy time, Fabius, a third-class wizard, had already used air control skills and rushed towards the Cyclops in the distance.
