I was regarded as a demon god by a witch

Chapter 57 The Magic of War

Evita originally wanted to ask the Hearthstone Witch what her apprentice did and why it caused the death of Viscount Ambrose.

Especially when she was fooling herself all day before, she wanted to enter the city of Ambrose by herself to find her broken apprentice.

This is really to blame yourself.

Ivita even suspected that in the end, the Hearthstone Witch might declare to the Ambrose City Council that the two of them, the master and the apprentice, were commanded by a certain demon god...for example, herself.

Don't say it, it's really possible.

But before Ivita had time to ask questions.

Raleigh, Hei Lang, and Griffin, the three knights, had returned to the castle with a large number of villagers from nearby villages.

It was already early morning.

However, they also brought two not so good news.

The first one was that the Children of the Forest attacked the three baron-directed villages near the castle, and set fire to the crops on the farmland and the wooden houses in the village.

The second, at the foot of the hill where the castle stands, is full of armies of the children of the forest.

On the wall of the castle, Ivatar looked at the army of the children of the forest stationed not far away.

Judging from the size of the opponent's array, the opponent has at least nearly ten thousand people.

There is a large centaur army, numbering at least two thousand.

Also, although they don't wear armor, they are full of muscles and tendon-like tauren. These tauren are born to be heavy infantry.

There should be around 3000 of these tauren.

There are also ogres, dryad troops, and a small number of snake girl troops.

The opponent has obviously blocked the castle and is ready to attack at any time.

But they should start attacking in the morning, after all, they are the children of the forest, not the children of the night.

Attacking in the dark will do neither side any good.

This method will only be used if the weak side needs a surprise attack, but now the children of the forest are the strong side.

It was the first time for Ivita to encounter such a thing, so he could only force himself to calm down.

It's okay, it's useless if there are too many opponents, because the children of the forest can't besiege the castle for a long time.

Knight Griffin said loudly: "If we can win this battle, even if we just stick to it, not only can we protect tens of thousands of farmers in the city, but you, my lord, will also become Ambrose's rising star."

"At that time, if you want to confer the title of baron, it will definitely be possible."

Evita nodded.

In other words, this is likely to be his battle for fame.

Of course, most people’s first battles are basically failures, so this war may also be a beer hall coup (the first failed movement of the head of state)...

Ivita said: "Prepare the bow and arrow, and attack as soon as the opponent's army approaches."

The old witch began to say a spell on the wall, which Iveta knew very well, because she had said this spell at the brandy inn before.

This is the witch-level natal magic of the old witch, the piranha secret garden.

Because there were still fifty peasant soldiers under the city wall digging a ditch, so she planted the seeds of piranhas 200 meters away from the ditch ahead of time.

Under the spell of the old witch, these magical flowers gradually grew, and exuded a dangerous atmosphere in the dark night.

This piranha defense line stretching hundreds of meters made the old witch who kept chanting extremely pale and consumed too much mana.

I'm afraid that in a short period of time, it will be difficult for the Hearthstone Witch to do anything.

Seeing this, the demon hunter Hei Lang sighed. "After all, it is only a third-level professional, even a witch, it is impossible to face the army."

"It is really difficult to use the power of an individual to counter the power of a group."

"Even if it is a big witch, this will quickly consume your life span."

"No one knows how many first-level priests and how many second-level priests there are in the opposing army of the Son of the Forest."

"Your Highness, war and demon hunting missions are two different concepts. From now on, we are no longer explorers who fight alone, but lords who want to go to war."

"You are the first time, and I am also the first time. Many people here are the first time."

For a while, everyone felt that the future was uncertain.

Ivita glanced at everyone, "Have you ever heard a saying in my hometown? A newborn calf is not afraid of tigers, but it is afraid of wolves when it grows horns."

"What about the first time! We won this victory just because it was the first time!"

Everyone was shocked, and they all felt a strong confidence from Iveta's words.

A good lord is to be the backbone of everyone.

Lei Li secretly lamented that some people deserved to be born leaders. His existence seemed to be created by the god of all things in order to keep his lambs from being leaderless.

Raleigh could see very clearly that Ivita was very unfamiliar in many aspects. He was just learning and thinking a little bit, and then led everyone along the way.

The most commendable thing is Iveta's courage.

Knight Griffin said: "Your Highness, when we retreated with the villagers, I don't know why the other party didn't attack our team."

"But we've seen, they've sprinkled huge quantities of quicklime on the fields and poured water on them."

Evita froze for a moment.

And Branton was already dying of anger. "Sprinkling quicklime on our farmland is to turn our farmland into saline-alkali land and make it sticky."

"These children of the forest have gone too far."

Ivita thought: "Where did they get the quicklime? To have so much quicklime, a complete mining industry and ore crushing plant are needed."

"Oh, I see, it's the dryads."

He remembered the twenty ogres they had wiped out before, and mentioned during the fight that they had lived in a house with windows.

At that time, he guessed that these ogres were raised by humans.

He thought it was some kind of aristocratic conspiracy.

But now it seems that the dryads are probably entertaining their allies after replacing the status of human nobles.

I am afraid that the dryads have also invaded other human territories and brought them large quantities of quicklime.

Since the other party can produce so much quicklime in a short period of time, I am afraid that they have already made preparations to spread quicklime on human farmland.

Yes.

Ivita thought that these children of the forest obviously lived in the forest.

They don't need farmland.

Suddenly, a sharp arrow shot over, and Ivita subconsciously reached out and held the sharp arrow.

He stood on the city wall and looked down, only to see a few dozen centaur warriors, led by the brave centaur Khan, trying to bypass the ogre defense line and the prototype of the trench, facing the city wall. fighters fire a round.

The Centaur Khan showed a provocative expression towards Ivita, and he recognized from the city wall at a glance that although he was young, he was the leader of the enemy this time.

On the city wall, the soldiers immediately set up their bows and arrows, ready to shoot.

"Stop." Ivita immediately said: "The centaur cavalry is at least 400 meters away, far beyond the effective distance of our bows and arrows."

"Our arrow reserves are limited."

"Don't be fooled by the other party."

"The opponent should come to consume our arrow reserves."

In this way, there were only a few sporadic people who didn't have time to stop and shot a few arrows, which was considered a meaningful counterattack.

Most of the soldiers did not shoot arrows.

Knight Griffin said: "In Ambrose's fairy tales, centaurs are natural cavalry, the best kind."

"My lord, don't worry about them approaching, is there really no problem?"

Evita shook her head. "How do the cavalry attack the city? I think the cavalry can only dismount and fight if they want to attack the city. But can those centaurs dismount and fight?"

"They have racial advantages, but they also have irreparable racial disadvantages. The strongest part of our human beings is that we can find room to exert our advantages no matter in any environment."

"But these centaurs can't do that!"

The old witch looked at Ivita in surprise. "Your Majesty, what you said is correct. Cavalry cannot attack the city. To attack the city, you need a well-equipped infantry unit, as well as siege equipment and climbing ladders."

"The troops of the children of the forest happen to not have much armor and siege equipment."

"Their army composition is really not suitable for siege. But sometimes cavalry can also attack the city."

"If cavalry troops can quickly capture the city gates and occupy the streets in the city, they can use cavalry to attack the city. But few people know this."

Ivita has learned it, and she is indeed the Hearthstone Witch who was the guardian of the castle.

Ivita suddenly said: "By the way, why do I feel very comfortable when the other party officially starts a war with us, and the magic power is growing?"

"Hearthstone witch, can this battlefield increase the magic power of wizards?"

The old witch's complexion changed, and after saluting to Ivita, she touched his palm, after sensing the change in Ivita's magic power.

Her face was very strange.

Unexpectedly, this kind of thing would happen.

The old witch said: "My lord, now I have a good news, a bad news, and a not bad news, I want to tell you."

"It is rare among witches and wizards to obtain witches or wizards who have obtained magic power during the war."

"This kind of witch can easily break through the level limit, become a high-ranking witch, and transform into a witch lord on the side of disaster!"
