Chapter 314 Siris Demonic Warriors enter the stage of the times

In mid-December, by the Red River.

Several Frei Army patrollers carefully marched along the river beach.

On the other side of the river are the rogues from the Queen's army.

The two sides observed each other silently for a while, then turned and left.

A few miles behind, smoke was rising from the city, and pots were already being made to make rice.

A goshawk flew across the sky, its pale golden eyes reflecting the scenery below.

In the town behind more than a hundred miles away, a battle mage wearing a mid-level robe held a crystal ball in his hands, covering it with magic power to analyze the scene captured through the "Peeping Magic Eye".

As the goshawk moves, the mountains, forests, river valleys, and military camps ahead can be seen at a glance.

At the same time, in the mage tower, in the spacious conference room.

Many elite apprentices used spells to copy messages, or observed and analyzed, and were responsible for their respective tasks in an orderly manner.

On the seats on the second floor, Roland, Rosa, Lei, Blaise, and Anguis, who has recently been busy with the new professional settings and has been working overtime for several months, all came here to pay close attention to this important battle that affects the kingdom. .

"Atline's magic skills are really incredible!"

Behind the seats, Bona, who is the Prime Minister of the Kingdom, sat at the end of the table. He held a thick stack of information in his hands. He looked up from time to time at the big screen in the conference room and expressed his heartfelt emotions.

With the efforts of the elite apprentices of the staff group, the output image changed, and densely packed flag marks began to appear on the scene map. The red and blue sides represented the dynamics of the enemy and our armies on the real battlefield.

Each troop is divided into a unit of 20 to dozens or hundreds of people according to their respective affiliations, and the final result is hundreds of units.

This is the magic technology supported by Atline, a real-time war system from Magic Industries.

Although it is an old product that is several versions behind the times, it is also incredibly advanced for Reiner's world.

Through the shared field of vision of the demon pet, as well as the many prying eyes pre-set in various places in the forest and wilderness, the situation of the entire battlefield is like observing patterns in the palm of the hand.

Noticing the bright red logo of the enemy camp, Queen Rosa nervously shook the scepter in her hand.

Fei Lie launched a massive attack and mobilized as many as 2 troops here. Although there were many temporary recruits among them, there were also some established and powerful forces that were difficult to deal with.

In comparison, there are far fewer soldiers that can be mobilized on our side.

Another rather embarrassing fact is that the military generals who are loyal to their own royal court lack the experience and ability to command an army of more than [-] people in combat.

If it weren't for Atline's magical technical support and the use of various advanced communications and even live broadcast methods to assist in command, I'm afraid it would have fallen into chaos.

Roland patted the back of Rosa's hand, telling her to relax.

"Relying on the city to defend, we will definitely be able to win.

On the other hand, if Ferrie and others invest too much force here, it will definitely lead to emptiness elsewhere on the front.

After this battle is over, we can launch a strategic counterattack. "

He comforted Rosa while casting his gaze on the screen.

Time gradually passed for more than an hour, and both parties had breakfast.

"The enemy is on the move!"

Suddenly, the observer reminded.

The peeping magic eye immediately conveyed the picture of the scene.

I saw the leading troops wading across the Red River in the dry season. The mage hiding inside quickly used earth magic to build a simple bridge.

The river, which could not be submerged even to the knees, was quickly crossed.

This is where the power of magic transcends ordinary cold weapons, and is not just used for fighting.

The staff team reacted immediately: "Mark this mage!"

Hidden among the dead branches and leaves, the prying demonic eyes, like human eyeballs, slowly turned toward him.

After a long journey of more than 1000 meters, the large troops finally arrived at the open space outside the city and spread out.

Everyone saw that there were not many troops coming, and they seemed to be preparing to launch a probing attack, so they were not too nervous.

But soon, they were greatly surprised by the three giant beasts that followed.

"This is a siege beast!"

The huge beast with rough skin and thick flesh is the natural enemy of city walls and towers.

A siege beast the size of a house is usually equipped with a combat team composed of trainers, mages, and archers. On the side, sword and shield men work together to defend the flanks in a way similar to a wild goose formation.

This beast, which looks a bit like a giant wild boar, doesn't run very slowly. Its weakness is that it's huge and difficult to turn quickly.

But the collaborative force is very good at defense and can eliminate threats from the side and the sky.

On the other side, a Minotaur orc carrying a huge log and a body as strong as an iron tower was marching.

Near them are some alien armies such as bearmen and mandrills.

Prince Ferret fought against these foreign tribes on the frontier all year round and conquered some tribes, so he was able to recruit them to serve him.

A large number of tamed kobolds surrounded each other and moved forward numbly under the whips of their respective chiefs.

There was also a troll warlord sitting on a chariot pulled by eight horses, shouting loudly from time to time, restraining and controlling these guys who couldn't even tell the difference between their left and right hands to obey orders honestly.

The manor knights from the Northent Land carried lances, and the servants followed closely with their horses.

In the rear, there was a gleam of swords and spears, a forest of spears, and flags from various families, forming a colorful phalanx.

It was the private arm of the nobles.

Behind them are elite soldiers wearing heavy armor and holding swords and shields, protecting the precious spellcasters that each family has gathered together.

It seemed that they were afraid of being defeated again by beheading tactics. These people adopted a hash formation, and a large number of real and fake servants were mixed in. They commanded the banner, and the figures in colorful clothes were blurred.

That was a sign of being protected by the illusion system "Obscurity".

The other party may not necessarily be the real person. It is very likely that the shadow warrior will come to sit down and the real commander will use the "invisibility technique" to lurk on the side and issue orders.

The elite apprentices of the staff group quickly recorded the results of the observation and analysis. Each piece of information was entered into the system through spiritual connection, and classified and summarized based on the powerful spirituality of the tower spirit.

Not long after, the war drums sounded, and the sound of killing shook the sky.

After completing their formation, the Ferret army quickly launched an attack.

With the siege beast as the vanguard, the simple earthen and wooden city wall broke down immediately, and the alien troops followed closely and poured into the gap, followed by a wave of fierce attacks.

The mages hidden among the crowd quickly cast various magics.

Level 3 spell system "Wall of Thousand Hands", arms constantly grow out of the soil to catch those who climb over it.

The level 3 evocation system "Wind Wall" blocks long-range attack arrows and spells, deflecting attacks and causing smoke to surge back.

Level 2 transformation system "Pyrotechnics", the original torch emits thick smoke, or the blazing flash blinds people's eyes.

The level 2 necromantic "Intimidation Technique" brought a mental blast of fearful power to the enemy group, scaring many kobolds into fleeing hastily.

There are also "magic missiles" and "fireballs" that are most common in wars. They also attack each other with fire coverage. The artillery fire is in the sky and the roar is endless.

For ordinary soldiers, the power of magic can be called a dimensionality-reducing blow.

But the number of spells and opportunities to cast them are limited, including spell quotas, magic powers and props.

Everyone understood that those foreign retinues and miscellaneous corps were originally cannon fodder, used to consume each other's resource reserves.

The men and horses of the Ferret army only escorted the siege beasts back and then launched a second wave of attacks, not caring about the life or death of the friendly forces in front.

After suffering a large number of casualties, the servant army took the lead in pouring into the streets of the city, and the front line quickly fell.

The staff group had to order a retreat to the second line of defense and rely on the streets for street fighting.

However, the Kingdom's defenders were not passively beaten.

Soon, the four-character military flag of "Fenghuoshan Forest" suddenly appeared in the open space next to the town.

That was the Jonis mercenary group that attacked secretly through magic means.

More than a hundred people walked across the terrain, then used convenient magic cards to summon their mounts, mounted their horses at the right place, and blessed themselves with various magics.

In just a moment, he took advantage of the chaos and inserted into the battlefield with colorful auras of gain, and once again dealt a heavy blow to the Fei Lie army.

"Great!"

"Going to win!"

Seeing that the counterattack strategy was successful, everyone in the staff group cheered in the mage tower.

Not only for the victory of the Royal Army, but also for the credits he is about to get.

However, just when everyone thought the overall situation was decided, a strange fog quickly spread in the center of the battlefield in the middle of the screen.

"Magic interference detected, suspected to be an "anti-magic field"! "

The tower spirit's alarm sounded.

"Anti-magic field"? "

Everyone was surprised, even unbelievable.

"'Anti-Magic Field' is a level 6 protection spell. How could anyone over there use it? "

"If you don't care about the cost, there should be a way..." "A person like Felie who has been a prince and spends a lot of money to acquire it will always have a way to get one or two high-end scrolls or something."

"The problem is, even if there is a scroll, not just anyone can operate it!"

"Let's investigate quickly and see what's going on over there."

Following the command from the headquarters, agile rogues rushed in wearing magic props with the mark of the magic eye.

As a result, he quickly lost contact.

It was still the sentry set up in the tower in the city, and I successfully used the telescope to see what was happening there.

"A special group of troops showed up!
They wear strange armor and carry strange weapons! "

The descriptions of the frontline personnel were unclear, which made the trainee mages on the staff team curse.

"You are in the picture above!"

After a lot of effort, the magic image was finally recorded and the image was transmitted.

As a result, everyone took a breath of cold air when they saw it.

"Isn't that the 'lawbreaker' of the elves?"

But everyone reacted quickly.

This is impossible.

Absolutely impossible!
It should be some kind of copycat army built according to the characteristics of "law breakers".

The Elf Spell Breaker is a profession similar to the warrior advanced "Arcane Knight" or Atrein's "Arcane Military Police", which combines the warrior's martial arts with magical power.

In essence, it is also a kind of dual cultivation of magic and martial arts.

But unlike arcane knights and arcane gendarmes, this profession has racial characteristics and was born due to the innate talents of the elves as magical creatures.

This magical race has given birth to "Anti-Mage", "Demon-Breaking Hunter" and other existences that specialize in fighting the power of magic. The "Magic-Breaker" was born during the Third Dynasty and belongs to the "Doomsday Blade" sequence.

Even in the world of high demon civilization, they are famous existences!

Sure enough, everyone soon discovered some clues.

Although the armor worn by these people looks equally exquisite and gorgeous, it is only superficial.

They should be made by mixing some materials with anti-magic properties, and do not have magic immunity properties.

The war blade, which looked like a huge four-cornered windmill, was obviously bulkier and cheaper than the standard equipment used by the elves' troops of the same name, and seemed to be of a much lower grade.

But even so, these people are neatly arrayed and have extraordinary momentum. The strange gray-black aura permeates the surroundings, bringing about a "shady effect" that shields detection, which is enough to prove that they do have some power against magic.

Only then did everyone realize that it was not a level 6 spell "anti-magic field", but an anti-magic field unique to the equipment of the spellbreaker troops.

But even if the names and levels are different, the methods of action are also different, but the final effects are similar.

The various magic cards and spell attacks used by Jonis's troops were muted one after another. The magic horses summoned before were expelled, and the bubbles disappeared one by one.

Even the halo effect attached to the legion flag was blocked, losing part of the blessing gain.

"Oops, they lost their mobility and got stuck inside!"

"The surrounding troops are gathering together, and the enemy is preparing to encircle and suppress them!"

"The Spellbreaker is throwing the 'Spellbreaker Blade'!"

There were screams of surprise, and there was a slight panic in the command room.

Jonis and others were visibly locked in a bitter fight.

Even if there is a middle class among them, Jonis and others, whose strength far exceeds the conventional combat power of this world, are still difficult to defeat the encirclement and suppression of thousands of troops.

Moreover, the overall combat strength of the elite members of the Fei Lie army is not weak.

Through the division of layers of fronts, this mercenary group that once drove away Ferre in Savalan finally ushered in the moment of revenge.

At this moment, Roland ordered: "Let the soldiers go up!"

An elite group of soldiers imitating the Blood Eagle Warriors quickly assembled, and a golden flag with a black background was erected.

This is the Qin Dynasty Yinglong Banner that has never been seen before in the magical world.

"Guangya" records: "The one with scales is called Jiaolong, the one with wings is called Yinglong, the one with horns is called Qiulong, and the one without horns is called Chilong."

This is a dragon with two wings in the myth and legend of Seris!
The soldiers were wearing black armor and winged helmets, holding spears and leaning forward in front of them. A few dozen people stepped out of the majesty of thousands of troops.

With the blessing of various magic cards and friendly spells, various magical auras shine.

The Yinglong flag in the center even carries the aura of the legion, paving a brilliant and vast aura field on the ground.

"beep……"

A long horn sounded, and everyone began to charge along the street.

In a matter of moments, the enemy troops who had just rushed into the town were killed like melons and vegetables.

"Those are……"

"A soldier troop composed of Siris Demonic Warriors!"

In the army at the rear, the general of the Fei Lie army was shocked.

High in the distance, some unidentified observers used alchemical telescopes to watch the battle, and they were also moved by it.

"Want to use such a force to charge into battle and rescue the besieged Jonis mercenary group?"

"It seems that they want to have a head-to-head battle with the 'Spellbreaker Troops' under Feile to see who is the real master of both magic and martial arts!"

They each recited a spell or snapped their fingers, quills floating around them, and quickly recorded.

They had a vague premonition that this was a contest between two different ways of cultivating magic and martial arts.

One of them is based on "magic suppression magic", which restrains the enemy's various magical means, and then uses rich warrior experience to defeat them.

The other type is magic and martial arts in the traditional sense. For example, Jonis and others who use Siris magic cards and various magic props are actually copycats of Arcane Knights.

They felt that the methods used by the Queen's Army this time should be similar to the battle sequence.

But the methods may be tougher.

Sure enough, after this unit killed the cannon fodder unit, it did not stop for much, but rushed towards the retreating siege beast unit.

Those giant beasts were losing strength and turned their backs to the town.

Even after sensing the enemy's attack and quickly turning around, they were unable to launch another charge within a short period of time.

A group of warriors with strong skills attacked the summoner above with hooks, iron ropes and other objects, and then worked together to trap the giant beast's mouth and nose, pulling it hard and forcing it to turn.

The siege beast howled in pain, and after a while it aimed at the friendly forces in the rear, and then ran away wildly under the brutal blow of the detonating talisman that shattered its buttocks, like several sharp knives, piercing deeply into the formation.

Then they ran after them, using these giant beasts to clear the way, and rushed to the rescue of Jonis and others without any hindrance.

"Hahahaha, good job!"

"If it weren't for your help, we really wouldn't be able to get out."

Jonis and others were overjoyed.

"It's too early to be happy!"

The Spellbreaker troops wearing gorgeous armor followed, and the anti-demon field once again interfered with the resonance between Mana and the source of magic.

But all they saw was that auras of fighting spirit lit up, and the soldiers were hardly affected at all. They still pounced on them with a tough attitude and started fighting head-on.

They threw away the spears they used to deal with other people, and replaced them with various hammers, staffs, sledgehammers...

Among the various weapons, there is an equipment design built with the same core.

That is the elemental power derived from "conquering people with virtue" or "conquering people with reason".

Bright lights lit up among the crowd.

That is power operating in another form, not going through the circulation of heaven and earth at all, but being driven out by the self-sufficient internal energy of the heavens and the heavens.

Frost, fire, thunder and lightning...

The unique inert quality of Dou Qi has become an excellent barrier against this anti-demon realm.

Because of inertia, it is less susceptible to interference.

One after another, the spellbreakers had their armor broken and their heads blown off.

This was a result that even Roland and others had not expected.

It was not that they had not expected that the Siris Demon Warrior might have the ability to fight against the anti-demon. Otherwise, they would not have decisively sent out rescuers after Jonis and others were in trouble.

But before the actual combat test, I didn't expect it to be so easy to use.

The power of the elements is output in this way, and its power is comparable to that of evocation spells. Every attack comes with considerable damage, but it is completely unrestricted by spell quotas and chanting spells.

The spell-breaking methods that the spellbreakers are proud of have been restrained, and the melee capabilities of the copycat version are far inferior to the sword dancers and shadow dancers of the elves.

He immediately threw away his armor and was completely defeated.
