Knights of the Wasteland Fortress

Chapter 107
As the spell took effect, a white peach blossom with a hazy glimmer bloomed in Noah's hand.

Every time this peach blossom turns around, a new layer of flower buds will spread to the surroundings. One life will be six, six will be twelve, twelve will be eighteen... Soon, Noah's upper body will be covered by these gorgeous peach blossoms. up.

While these peach blossoms spread, the Moko in Noah's body was also rapidly consumed. In just 20 seconds, about one-tenth of the 120 units of Moko in his body were eaten, and as time increased, the Moko The speed of consumption is still getting faster and faster.

When Noah realized that the situation was wrong, he hurriedly extinguished the Moko supply. The engraving had already multiplied for a full twenty rounds, and the entire peach blossom phantom had a diameter of more than one meter, constantly spinning in the air in front of him, disillusioned.

And after more than 1 minute after the end of the Moko supply, the illusion of peach blossoms gradually dissipated.

Facing this astonishing scene, the maids around Noah clapped their hands and applauded, their faces full of wonder, because in their view, Noah was wrapped in the phantom of peach blossoms and disappeared.

But Noah could clearly see the expressions on the faces of the maids inside the peach blossom.

This is the knight engraving of the Nordwa family, the most basic and considered the most brilliant move——

Jushenghua!
"Although it's just an illusion trick, it doesn't have much lethality...but it can cover the enemy's line of sight, so that they can't see my position...my sight and movement will not be affected...For melee combat, use it well The power is amazing... I just don't know how the ancestors of the Nordwar family did this..."

Noah looked at the black and red knight engraving on his arm. There were three of them, and one of them had disappeared with his use.

He instinctively realized that the recovery period of each engraving was about 48 hours, and it would continue to speed up as his strength improved.

[If you ask for our help, we can also help you speed up...]

Someone whispered in Noah's mind somewhere.

"To shut up!"

There was a hint of anger in Noah's eyes, and he hammered hard on his temple, causing the dizziness to spread to those high-ranking beings.

Sure enough, the other party uttered a scream and murmured to shut up.

Noah took a deep breath and turned his attention back to the engraving.

There are three engravings of the witch riders of the Nordwa family, namely "Gathering Blossoms", "Stone Skin Technique" and "Sealing Throat".

As the name suggests, the stone skin technique can make Noah's skin as tough as a porcupine, which is equivalent to an extra layer of armor.

The throat seal is to make the weapon poisonous. Ordinary humans without poison resistance can quickly die with only a small wound.

According to Felt, it only takes ten seconds for this toxicity to kill an elephant.

And the ancestors of the Nordwa family seem to be related to a certain assassin organization, so the engraving spells inherited by the family are mainly assassination and frontal cover.

If Jiatu was here, he would probably start to silently recite "All things are empty, all things are allowed".

However, Noah's external appearance doesn't have so much miscellaneous knowledge in his brain, so he just silently evaluated the power of these three engravings——

"As my strength increases, I can carve more engravings on my body...but the upper limit of an arm is three...so at most the right arm can also be used as an engraving slot, that is six..."

"In the engraving recovery stage, I can choose what kind of engraving to generate... According to Felt, the most commonly used engraving is Jushenghua, and the number of gathering rounds can be increased according to the total amount of demons invested, 7 magic Huang is fifteen rounds, 12 Mo Huang only has twenty rounds, and the consumption is exponentially increasing..."

"Moreover, the growth rate of Jushenghua is a bit slow, so when it is actually used, it is often to throw four or five Jushenghua engravings in one breath, so that they can work at the same time, so that you can quickly hide your body—whether it is to escape Or frontal cover, both are very useful..."

Noah thought silently, looking at the other two engravings.

The duration of the stone skin technique is very long. Once it is generated, it can not peel off for several hours. Apart from the side effect that the skin may tear, it can be said to be the strongest of the three engravings.

And the effect time of the throat seal is only one hit.

But under normal circumstances, each attack of Noah can ensure that an enemy dies or loses combat effectiveness, so the effect of "throat sealing" is often better than nothing.

Of course, this is just Noah's personal opinion.

Felt doesn't think so:
"Sealing the throat is the ultimate move of the Nordwar family. It is our nirvana. We only need to prepare one at a time, and the less people we see, the better."

The head maid looked at Noah and said seriously.

She also has these three engravings, so she is very clear about the pros and cons:
"For the outside world, the Nordwar family has always only had two kinds of knight inscriptions, so they will be downgraded to a hereditary baron. Therefore, as a wizard knight of the Nordward family, you must also keep this secret-until you have to use It's that moment."

Noah recalled the previous teaching of the head maid.

He doesn't know why he lives the way the Imperials do.

But he recalled the serious expression of the head maid, so he didn't say much.

"Maybe this is 'If you want to deceive the enemy, you must first deceive yourself'..."

The boy thought silently, and finished the engraving practice.

.

In the next few days, Noah has been familiar with the newly acquired ability.

While accepting the inheritance of the black mountain boar, his strength and physical strength have also been greatly enhanced, and he can almost easily lift about twice as much weight as before.

And according to Fürth, this level of change is not as good as the wolves of the Third Corps, but the advantage is that it can be used normally, and there is no need to specially cast and consume magic.

It's just that the food intake will become larger, more than twice as much as before.

While Noah was getting familiar with the new abilities, the wizard investigation team from the empire also set off. According to the homework of the academy, they had to stay in the Black Forest for at least a week, and after collecting enough ghouls and owl beast specimens, Only then can you return to the imperial world.

Originally, Lancelot wanted to arrange guards for them, but was "politely" rejected by those proud little canaries.

They proudly told the captain of the guard that each of them was a citizen of the empire. Compared with the serfs in the border areas, they were basically born with golden keys in their mouths.

Although they are not nobles, their pocket money is enough to hire a large number of elite mercenaries at the exchange rate of magic crystal coins in the imperial world!
What's more, they also contacted Wallis, the warrior leader of the Black Wolf Clan through some unknown means, and asked a silver-level leader of the Black Wolf Clan to lead a squadron of about 30 tree wolf warriors to protect them ——

If there are no accidents, it is almost impossible to have anything that can hurt them in the Black Forest!

"If nothing unexpected..."

The head maid muttered, looking at the noisy city gate drawbridge in the distance.

When she chatted with Noah about this issue, they were standing on the training ground between the castle and the wall.

Noah has just finished this round of training and is sitting and resting next to the training ground.

Then they heard the cry of a bustling crowd from the drawbridge of the wall.

Then came the imperial wizards who were hurriedly lifted off the carriage by the soldiers.

They were lying on the ground in all directions, some were still moaning, and some were headless.

Seeing this scene, Noah and Felt lost their language ability for a while.

They subconsciously ran towards the drawbridge gate.

Seeing Felt approaching, the guard soldiers who were in a state of bewilderment also gave way one after another.

The head maid raised her skirt and squatted down next to a pale-faced brown-haired young man——

She leaned over the young man's chest and listened for a while, then raised her head with a heavy face, and looked at Noah:

"No...the signs of life have been lost!"

After saying that, the head maid knelt on the ground without hesitation, and began to give artificial respiration to the brown-haired youth.

But Noah looked at the four or five blood-filled stretchers beside the gate——

Know it's too late.

.

"Damn! Those barbarians of the Black Wolf Clan! How can you lead them into the territory of the White Wolf Clan?! Are they desperate?!"

In Nordwald's family hall, Lancelot was throwing things angrily.

Hannit sat on the patriarch's seat with a silent expression.

Noah observed the two silently, feeling a little strange.

Because in his opinion, the positions of Lancelot and Hannett seemed to be reversed at this time——

In this matter, shouldn't Baron Hannett be the most angry?

After all, he was the one who asked Lancelot to send someone to protect those wizard students.

But why was Lancelot, the captain of the guard, even angrier than Hannett?
The other retainers in the hall were silent, and no one dared to speak at this time.

It wasn't until the head maid walked into the hall that the disturbing atmosphere was broken.

"Captain Lancelot, master."

The head maid with a black hair bun and silver spectacles saluted the two of them. The blood on her face hadn't been wiped clean, and the blood was everywhere on her white apron, which looked a little shocking.

After getting up, she calmly reported to everyone:
"The team that was attacked by the White Wolf Clan was led by Warrior Commander Wallis. The eldest daughter of Sir Cavendish and the eldest son of Sir Bavant were also in this team. There were 25 of them in total, and Warrior Commander Wallis and eleven Blackwolf Clan fighters had died in the line of duty. Five of the eight apprentice wizards had died, including Sir Bavant's eldest son George Bavant - the other two survivors were also seriously injured, only Cavendish Sir Xu's daughter, Jenny Cavendish, is safe because of the protection of others."

"Is it really safe and sound?"

Hannett raised his hand, twisting his fingertips slightly, as if he was thinking about what to say:
"Didn't I hear that she has gone crazy?"

"...Miss Cavendish was indeed a little frightened. She covered herself in the quilt and screamed hysterically when she saw the light."

Felt was silent for a moment, and reported more accurately: "But I believe that she will recover after a while."

"A quarter of my classmates died in front of me, including my prospective lover. Even if I recover, it will be different from the past."

The gray-haired old owl waved his hand, and said with some disapproval: "Sir Bavant and Sir Cavendish will not let us go—but as lifetime knights conferred by the society, they can do very limited things. .”

Hannit's calm calmed down everyone present.

Only Noah felt very weird.

The strange sound in his mind seemed to confirm his thoughts, reminding him in a low voice——

【He did it on purpose... He had foreseen their death...】

Noah shuddered subconsciously.

He suppressed his anger and murmured in a low voice:
"To shut up!"

"what?"

It seemed that they heard the movement here, and the others all cast their gazes over.

Noah was caught off guard, so he bowed his head and apologized, "There are bugs."

Hannity nodded, not paying too much attention.

Instead, he looked at the other people present.

Everyone was a little apprehensive.

Because for these retainers of Nordwar, they have settled on the border for almost a hundred years, and the empire has become a very distant term in their hearts.

Those imperial people were angered—even if they were just civilians, they still couldn't imagine what disaster would happen on the border far away from the empire.

All are worried.

Only the grey-haired old Baron Hannet looked around.

His gray pupils, which had always been incomprehensible, suddenly burst out with a different kind of expression.

"Since everyone is here, let me explain."

Lord Hannet rose to his feet.

He turned to look at the portraits of the family patriarchs above the wall, fumbled for the heartstone magic crystal on the top of the wizard's scepter in his hand, and said slowly:
"Complaints from the imperial capital will definitely come like snowflakes, and the media in the empire will also report it. It is impossible to accept the inspection mission of the Imperial College and get subsidies from it as before."

"But! This is both a crisis and an opportunity!"

Hannit turned around, looked at all the silent retainers and said loudly:

"The previous patriarch reported to the empire that the banditry on the border has been pacified for the reward of the empire! All the tree wolf clansmen have surrendered to the empire! There is no longer any rebel in the entire Nordwar territory!"

"But we all know that's a lie! The barbarians on the frontier have not only not been pacified! They have mixed up with those who opened the door! If this continues, there is no need for barbarian attacks! Taxes from the empire will overwhelm us! "

"We must take this opportunity to declare to the empire! Tell them there is still resistance here! Let the empire send troops! Let the empire help us suppress the barbarians here! Only in this way! The Nordwar family will be reborn from the ashes!"

"Only in this way! We can add new farmland! New people! Only in this way! We can completely grasp the entire frontier world in our hands!"

"... Let's go to war!"

In the silent hall, the Chief of Internal Affairs raised his fist first.

Seeing other people watching him silently, he suddenly regretted it.

But soon, everyone realized what to do at such a time.

"Go to war!"

"Go to war! Go to war!"

"Go to war! Go to war! Go to war!"

First the Treasurer, then the Executioner, then Lancelot, Captain of the Guard.

Finally, Felt, who was the head maid, also raised her fist.

Noah had no choice but to stretch out his hand, and shouted loudly——

"Go to war! Go to war! Go to war—"

"War!!!!!!"
