Chapter 57 55: Accepting orders in times of danger

Outside Linfeng City, there is an army of prairie people.

Young Master Su Yi looked at the city wall and frowned deeply.

This morning, while half of the Knights squad went to fight on the eastern front, he summoned all the prairie troops to break through the western front and go straight to Linfeng City.

At the same time, Reiner also successfully assassinated the two generals of the city defenders, destroyed all the city defense magic cannons, and paralyzed the defensive forces on the city wall in a short time.

Everything seemed to be going according to plan.

But after that... there was no more.

Just when Reiner was launching a rebellion, a figure suddenly fell from the sky. She could fly in the sky at such a fast speed, and her identity was about to be revealed——

That is the white raven of Linfeng City.

As the white raven landed on the city wall, he could not observe what happened on it from outside the city.

He only knew that as time passed by, the barrier array on the city wall was not destroyed and the city gate was not opened. It seemed that Reiner's rebellion was quickly suppressed.

"Little Lord!"

The urgent report sent by the scout made his heart sink even more, "Several Mounting Knights troops were found outside the eastern city. They turned back from the eastern front and have all returned to the city!"

A series of bad news made him frown. Heavenly Father rode up to him and said in a deep voice: "What are you still hesitating about?"

Reiner did not destroy all the city defense weapons, and his plan to lure most of the Knights' combat power out of the city failed, but even so they had to fight on.

If the attack is stopped because the situation has deviated from control, and Linfeng City rebuilds its city defense magic cannon, Reiner's death will be meaningless.

The Lebus tribe has been waiting for this moment for so many years, and today the army of prairie people is out in full force, with arrows on their bows and they have no choice but to shoot.

"I know."

Su Yi took a deep breath and his eyes became fierce, "Let's start attacking the city."

Without at least the five city defense artillery magic cannons, Linfeng City's counterattack force has been weakened by half.

Even if the barrier formation still exists, as long as attacks continue, it is only a matter of time before it is broken.

Once the "sacred barrier" is penetrated, the prairie troops can use spells and siege weapons to force open the city gate, or set up ladders to occupy the city wall and engage in hand-to-hand combat with Linfeng's army.

The individual quality of the grassland people's troops is still better than that of Linfeng's army. As long as they can cross the city wall and engage in hand-to-hand combat, everything will be fine.

……

The siege battle had begun. After deploying the defense lines on the city wall, Ryan temporarily entrusted the on-site command to the second-in-command of the Knights, and then hurried to the garrison of the city defenders.

According to the urgent report sent by Evelin, an important guest was waiting for him there.

"Noren Vishers."

As he muttered the name, Ryan's eyes became profound.

He met Nolen at the war meeting, and the biggest feeling Nolen gave him at that time was that he was young, even younger than Evelin.

Thinking about it now, he was the mysterious alchemist who connected Yuna's legs, but compared to the powerful flying equipment, the pair of puppet prostheses seemed to be nothing.

It’s hard to imagine that such a young alchemist could create such a magical piece of personal flying equipment, thus making the “White Raven” an undefeated legend in Linfeng City.

His alchemical talents were unique and unheard of, and had even profoundly affected the course of the war, allowing him to see the possibilities of alchemy at the strategic level.

Now, with Evelin's help, he wanted to have a formal talk with Nolen and jointly explore the path to victory in Linfeng City.

Arriving at the defenders' stronghold, Evelin and Nolen were already waiting for him there.

Ryan sat down across from them, first contacted Evelin about the affairs of the Knights' troops returning to the city, and then set his sights on Nolen.

"I've seen Yuna up there."

He smiled at Nolen and said, "She is one of my proudest students. You cheered her up from despair and gave her the courage to fight again. I sincerely thank you for this."

He and Nolen have different origins, different statuses, different classes, and different strengths. If there is anything in common that can quickly bring the two of them closer, it is Yuna.

Nolen was stunned for a moment. He didn't expect Ryan's first words to be like this. He waved his hand and said: "She is very good. I am also lucky to meet her."

Ryan nodded: "I'm very pleased. She has experienced too many misfortunes, but now she has returned to the battlefield as a white raven and defended her homeland with her own hands. I think this should also be her own wish.

"But Nolen, the war is something much bigger. For this decisive battle, both sides have invested various strategic-level magic tools and hundreds of high-level transcendent beings on the battlefield." Just by creating a white The raven is not enough to turn the tide of the entire battle, or in other words, the current white raven is not able to do this yet. "

He stared at the young man in black robes in front of him and asked seriously: "I have to admit that our extraordinary combat power is indeed inferior to that of our opponents. Now all the city defense magic cannons have been destroyed by the traitors, and the firepower of defending the city is seriously insufficient.

"Excuse me, from the perspective of an alchemist, can you provide some suggestions or help our army to help our army defend the city wall and tide over the difficulties?"

As soon as he said this, not only Ryan, but also Evelin on the side looked at him expectantly.

The history of human wars has always been the history of wars of extraordinary beings. The quality and quantity of extraordinary beings on both sides of the war basically determine the direction of the war.

Among them, the strategic-level magic weapon equipped with high-level spells also performed brilliantly, but it only served as the icing on the cake.

Because its target is too large, too conspicuous, and too bulky, it can easily be targeted and destroyed by the enemy. Moreover, maintenance is generally cumbersome and costly, so there are not many of them in existence.

However, the alchemical weapons made by Nolen are an exception.

The magic devices he made were small enough and very fast. It had only been half a month since White Raven appeared, and the equipment on her body had almost already been updated a generation faster.

If he could create a strategic-level magic weapon for the army, he might really be able to see results in a short period of time and reverse the situation of the war.

"Of course, I'm happy to help. If you just guard the city wall, it's not difficult to do."

Nolen nodded and said, "The simplest thing is, I can help you rebuild the city defense cannon. As long as the city's production capacity can keep up, I will build as many as the army wants."

"How long does it take to rebuild one?" Ryan's eyes lit up.

He had just inspected the remains of the city defense magic cannon on the city wall. Although the overall shell structure was not damaged, the structure of the magic circle was completely destroyed.

Among them, the most core "Sky Burning Flame" array and the magic power transmission pipeline on the side were basically completely destroyed.

Although he doesn't understand alchemy, he also knows basic common sense.

The "Sky Burning Flame" array in the array warehouse is a large array with a diameter of seven meters. Let alone replacing the new magic power pipeline, just repainting this huge seven-meter-long array will take a few days, right?
Under normal circumstances, even if the city's experienced magic circle alchemists are mobilized to help with the painting, it is impossible to complete the magic circle and rebuild the magic circle structure in a short period of time.

Definitely not enough time.

But he believed that Nolen, who could create individual flying equipment, was certainly not an ordinary person.

But Nolen just raised a finger: "One day."

"...What?" Ryan was surprised.

Nolen said slowly: "Give me a day, and I will be able to rebuild the city defense magic cannon, and this time the magic cannon will be smaller and more portable, allowing you to move it to the required combat location at will. go."

In fact, because of the "projection" ability of the Book of Omniscience, the most time-consuming step of "drawing the magic circle" in making the magic weapon was almost skipped by him.

Therefore, he calculated the time it took for the craftsmen to forge the parts and shell of the magic weapon, not the time it took for him to draw the magic circle.

Forging shell parts is not a technical job. If the craftsmen in the city are summoned to work together, all the parts can be produced and assembled in one day, and then handed over to him to engrave the magic circle.

When it comes to the industrial production of alchemical weapons, he is a never-tiring magic circle engraving machine, like a great sage who turns stone into gold. With just a touch of his hand, he can give souls to metal products with empty shells.

Just one day?
Ryan looked at Nolen in shock. Even though he was well-informed and calm, he couldn't help but show a strange expression at this time.

"I have created a new magic rune system. Under this system, the size of the magic circle will be greatly reduced and the drawing speed will be very fast."

Nolen shrugged, his tone as calm as if he was saying something ordinary.

Create a new rune system?
Hearing this, Ryan was a little unbelievable on the one hand, but on the other hand, he suddenly felt that everything made sense.

If not, how did White Raven create that magical equipment?

Not allowing others to question him, Nolen has already put his experimental results in front of everyone, proving with facts that he indeed has this ability.

He is a truly talented alchemist, and it is worthy for Linfeng City to bet its future on him.

"I believe you." Ryan made a decision quickly. He took off the badge symbolizing the leader of the Knights from his chest and handed it to him, saying in a deep voice.

"Wear the badge I gave you. From now on, you will be my representative in the city and enjoy the same status and power as I do in the army.

"Go ahead and do it, Nolen, let me see what you can do."

He was very interested in knowing what kind of miracle an alchemist who personally created the "Legend of the White Raven" would create this time?
