The Witcher: From the Academy of Knights

Chapter 140 Witch Formation Barrier
Orens frowned slightly.

He raised his head, just in time to meet Norma Rose's mocking eyes, and his heart sank.

"Siege!"

After Orens gave an order, he immediately gave up any illusions, and directly ordered his army to launch a strong attack on the Iron Armored City.

The horn of the charge is sounding!
The night crow army, which had just experienced a victory, launched a fierce attack on the Iron Armored City under the encouragement of the great knight Orens.

Under the city wall, the Western Region Army fell into despair.

At this moment, they still don't know that they have been abandoned, Iron Armored City will not open the gate, and Orens will not accept surrender.

Trapped under the city wall, the Western Frontier Army was like a group of trapped beasts.

"Urik, leave a way out."

Orens said in a deep voice, ordering the troops under his command to leave a way out for the Western Territory Army.

The man named Urik was a high-ranking knight from the northern border, and was assigned by the Duke of the northern border to Orens.

"What do you mean, sir?"

A trace of hesitation appeared on Urik's face, as if he had guessed what Orens was thinking.

"The battle of trapped beasts is the most dangerous!"

With a calm face, Orens said, "Instead of letting these abandoned soldiers of the Western Region fight with their backs, it's better to give them some hope."

Urik thought about it, and then passed on Orens' order.

The night crow army surrounding Iron Armored City opened a passage under the order of Urik, which is undoubtedly the hope of survival for those soldiers in the western region.

Immediately, without any hesitation, the group of soldiers from the western region rushed towards the gap like a drowning man grabbing a life-saving straw.

"Father intends to let these soldiers go?"

A strange flash flashed in Sauron's eyes. In his perception, Orens was a hero. Would he let these soldiers of the Western Region go because of his compassion?

"Kindness to the enemy is cruelty to oneself."

Orens had no expression on his face. When the Western Territory Army thought they were about to break through the siege and gain a chance of survival, he issued the second order without hesitation.

The desolate horn sounded again.

The Urik knight raised his long sword and led the cavalry to hunt down the western border army. Using the mobility of the plain, he drove out the group of western border remnants.

Sauron sighed inwardly.

The war was so cruel. If the soldiers from the Western Region were allowed to flee, they would surely return to the Duke of the Western Region and become enemies with Orens in the future.

And considering the current battlefield situation, Orens could not accept the surrender of this group of soldiers, he had to seize the time to take down the Iron Armored City.

Therefore, for this group of western border troops, death will be the inevitable end.

The cavalry led by the Urik knight roared past like a storm, and in an instant, they harvested the lives of a large number of soldiers in the western region like the scythe of death.

For all this, Normaros on the city wall remained indifferent.

"Sir, we..."

Next to him, the lord of Ironclad City, who had witnessed the death of a large number of soldiers in the western region, had a look of unbearable expression on his face. He was about to say something, but he met Norma Rose's cold eyes.

Seeing this scene, the lord of Iron Armored City trembled.

"Of course I will do what I promised Phils."

Norma Rose remained expressionless and said hoarsely, "As for the life and death of those ordinary soldiers, what does it have to do with me?"

"What's more, if there are not many dead people, how will the witch formation in Iron Armor City be activated?"

While speaking, a strange smile appeared on Norma Rose's face.

The next moment, he slowly raised his hands.

But on the wall of Iron Armored City, strange spells emerged one after another, and the piles of corpses below exploded one after another, turning into clouds of blood mist.

Immediately afterwards, the blood mist surged towards the city wall.

The invisible energy seemed to turn into a huge shield, covering the Iron Armored City, and like an enchantment, isolating it from the outside world.

"Witch Array?"

Seeing the crimson mask outside the armored city, Sauron was thoughtful.

Apparently, Iron Armored City had already been set up by Norma Ross in advance.

This was also the first time Sauron saw the Wuzhen.

Therefore, he didn't know what kind of effect the witch formation had, but seeing Norma Rose's confident expression on the city wall, the defense of the witch formation must be extremely strong.

"Soldiers, attack!"

Orens also noticed the enchantment that appeared around the Iron Armored City, and a trace of solemnity flashed in his eyes. Although he didn't know what it meant, he still ordered an attack.

In an instant, the troops from the northern border formally launched an attack on Iron Armored City.

On the city wall, the lord of the Ironclad City, Walder, looked thoughtful, hesitating whether he should let the archers shoot arrows downward.

"Don't worry."

Norma Rose said softly: "With the blood spirit barrier, even if there are ten times more enemies, it is impossible to break into Iron Armored City."

Seeing Norma Rose so confident, Wade felt a little relieved.

Although among the thirteen cities in the Western Territory, Iron Armored City's defensive ability was second only to Stormwind City, but seeing Orens' strength on the battlefield before, Wade couldn't help but feel a little uneasy.

No matter how strong the walls of Iron Armored City were, they might not be able to stop the strong attack of the big knights.

But now, since Norma Rose, the wizard, has made a move, Wade doesn't have to worry, Ironclad City will fall.

In the distance, northern soldiers charged.

Under the leadership of Orens, they gained an absolute advantage in the battle of the Plain of Wind, and the fruits of victory seemed to be at their fingertips.

Ironclad City is ahead, as long as it is broken, everything will be over.

The siege horn sounded, and the soldiers shouted wildly, eager to be the first to rush to the city wall, so as to strive for merit and glory.

The war between Orens and Ferrs represented a major reshuffle in the Western Territory.

At the same time, in this war, many soldiers will make meritorious service and become nobles. The opportunity to change their destiny is in front of them, and naturally no one is willing to give up.

Hundreds of soldiers from the northern border had rushed to the iron armored city.

However, just as they were about to attack the city, the crimson barrier suddenly glowed with a strange light, and a mist like blood surged in.

In an instant, the soldiers were swallowed by blood mist.

Shrill screams sounded one after another, and the soldiers who were swallowed by the blood mist seemed to be cursed, their flesh and blood were corroded, and they turned into white bones in less than a moment.

Such a terrifying scene made one's scalp tingle.

"witchcraft!"

Orens' complexion changed slightly. Even a veteran knight could not help but gasp in the face of the situation in front of him.

Beside, Sauron's eyes flickered slightly.

Although he knew for a long time that Norma Ross had set up a witch formation in Iron Armored City, he never expected that the effect would be so terrifying.

Looking at the dense bones under the city, the remaining soldiers stopped one after another.

No matter how useless a warrior is, after witnessing the scene just now, he probably wouldn't have the courage to approach that terrifying barrier again.
