my armed maid

Chapter 68 65: Flash (two chapters in one)

Under the guidance of Nolen, the Knights troops locked the location of the prairie people's stronghold and headed straight towards them.

As the distance between the two sides continued to shrink, the prairie people's scout troops discovered the approaching traces of the knights and blew the warning horn.

The stronghold quickly organized a force to attack, led by an elderly high-level shaman.

He recited the incantation silently and immediately raised the short staff in his hand.

The ground rumbled, and the originally flat grassland quickly rose up under the influence of earth magic, forming a highland that was easy to defend but difficult to attack.

He continued to raise rock walls on the high ground and built a solid bunker for the defense forces of the stronghold.

At the same time, he also deployed a large range of ground spikes below the high ground, which could effectively hinder the cavalry's charge.

The power of magic is mysterious and powerful, and these mid-to-high-level spells can cause phenomena in the world to a considerable extent and greatly affect the situation on the battlefield.

That is to say, the number of mages is much less than that of knights. There are hundreds of high-level knights under the command of Linfeng City, but there are only two high-level mages.

The number of sixth-level mages is scarcer than the number of seventh-level knights, which is a kind of balance to a certain extent.

As long as one force can dispatch dozens of high-level mages at once, there will be no need to fight a war.

Watch the magic battle between various magicians and gods.

However, after the early war and the siege with heavy casualties, the prairie troops suffered heavy losses, and the number of high-level mages was already widened by Linfeng City.

This shaman is probably one of the few high-level mages left in the prairie people.

"Look, isn't a high-value target coming?"

Nolen linked to Yuna's first-person perspective, overlooking the battle situation below, "Destroy him and help the ground forces establish the first wave of advantage."

In fact, even if the White Raven did not take action, the Knights would still be able to withstand this wave of oncoming troops.

The Knights also have high-level mages accompanying the army, and there are five tanks equipped with new magic cannons on standby in the rear. In terms of firepower, our side has a huge advantage.

Seeing the spell being cast on the opposite side, the high-level mage accompanying the army did not give in. He raised a huge ice wall in front of his own formation, blocking the rain of arrows and spells from the high ground.

At the same time, under Lane's command, five tanks were quickly dispatched to the front, and then lined up horizontally, aiming the muzzles on the sides of the carriages at the high ground.

"The magic cannon is ready to cast—fire!"

The time has come, the military mage lifted the ice wall, and five magic cannons opened fire at the same time.

As five fiery red circles formed at the muzzle of the cannon, five huge orange-yellow tongues of flame spurted towards the high ground.

"W-what is this-!?"

On the high ground, the earth shaman's eyes widened in disbelief and looked horrified.

With such power and intensity, what these magic cannons inspire is actually the high-level spell "Heavenly Burning Flame"!
However, isn't it true that only large city defense cannons can carry this level of spells? How can they really install it on a chariot and go on an expedition with the army?

This is simply unheard of. If the strategic magic weapon can really be put into frontline combat, it means that the dominance of mages on the battlefield has been greatly weakened!
The reason why high-level mages are powerful is that the range of influence of spells is usually much larger than that of knights' combat skills, especially high-level spells.

The knight kills people to death, which means they are unparalleled in mowing the grass. Killing people with spells clears the screen with just one click!
In the past, although people could use strategic-level magic cannons to cast high-level spells, they were not only large and conspicuous, but also could not be easily moved. They were still not comparable to real mages.

After all, your fire coverage is fixed and you can only defend but not attack.

Or I'll tear you apart before we start the war.

If I really can’t beat him, can’t I run?
But things are different now. Those guys from Linfeng City actually moved the strategic magic cannon to the front line!

Carried by chariots, these five magic cannons possess considerable mobility and are able to cover the front lines of the battlefield within their attack range.

Solving the problem of size and mobility, what is the difference between this and adding five high-level mages out of thin air to help?
They are even more suitable for the battlefield than mages. They are originally tireless weapons of war!

You can't win. How can you win against such an opponent...

Facing the fifth level of "Sky Burning Flame" offensive, in an instant, many thoughts flashed through the earth shaman's mind like a revolving lantern, and his expression became desperate.

The flaming waves swept across the high ground, and he watched helplessly as the rock barriers he had built with his own hands were destroyed bit by bit under the wash of flames. He watched as the defensive troops on the high ground were burned into charcoal without the ability to fight back, but he was helpless.

The attack range of the fifth level "Sky Burning Flame" completely covered the high ground. He was too busy even to protect himself and had no time to care about others.

"What are you still doing? Retreat!"

Suddenly, the heat wave in front of him diminished. The high-level water shaman on the side propped up the water element barrier, grabbed his arm and shouted, "We can no longer defend here, we have to leave here quickly!"

All the other high-level shamans of the Lebus tribe had been killed in the previous battle, and only two of them were left.

Fortunately, one of them is a water mage and the other is an earth mage, both of whom are good at defensive spells. This is why they can survive until now.

"Sky Burning Flame" is not a powerful attack spell. If they defend with all their strength, even if they have no time to help others, they can at least save their own lives.

That was all that could be done now. The two shamans each put a layer of rock armor and water barriers on each other, stumbled through the sea of ​​fire, and fled in the direction of the stronghold.

Their ears were filled with the painful wails of the surrounding soldiers in the blazing fire. They were so panicked that they didn't realize that there was a pair of eyes above their heads watching them indifferently.

Seizing the opportunity for them to flee hastily, Yuna swooped down from the sky like a hunting falcon.

The current magic cannon is not equipped with sights and cannot be accurately aimed, but it doesn't matter——

Just put the barrel of the gun in their face.

Yuna fell quickly while maintaining the posture of raising the cannon. The dark muzzle was always aimed at the head of the earth-type shaman.

Still about 80 meters away from the ground, she narrowed her eyes slightly and pressed the trigger of the magic cannon.

In fact, within a range of [-] meters, her blind fire is quite accurate.

"Om-"

The magic cannon was activated, and a bright white circle quickly spread out from the muzzle.

A large number of light elements began to converge towards the magic circle. The charging magic circle took away the surrounding light. The sky over the highland was a little darker at this moment, and the light of the magic circle became more dazzling.

"We must report to Lord Heavenly Father and Young Master immediately. We are now unable to withstand Linfeng City's attack. We must..."

At this time, the two of them were about to escape the coverage area of ​​the "Sky Burning Flame". The earth shaman breathed a sigh of relief and was in a hurry to communicate with his companions.By the time he noticed the astonishing elemental fluctuations coming from above his head, it was too late.

The earth shaman raised his head. In his frightened eyes, a white raven descended from the sky holding a magic cannon.

The dark sky was lit up by a flash of light at this moment, and a dazzling white beam of light rushed out from the muzzle of the magic cannon, instantly shining on the earth shaman.

"Destruction Beam" is actually a rare high-level spell of purely offensive nature in the light system. It is like a beam cannon existing in future technology, penetrating and purifying all objects that block it.

Under the long-term burning of the "Sky Burning Flame", the two layers of spell shields on the earth shaman were already crumbling.

Now he was hit directly from the top of his head by the "Destruction Beam". Without any pause, all the spell shields on his body were penetrated, and immediately his whole body was bathed in the pure white beam energy flow.

Without giving him time to resist, or even uttering a cry, he was turned into powder under the direct hit of the destructive beam, and his death was even more complete than those corpses that were turned into charcoal.

"White Raven——!"

The water shaman on the side was so scared that he was about to raise his hand to strengthen his shield, but Yuna was faster.

As early as when her left hand controlled the magic cannon to aim at the earth shaman, her right hand had already raised the magic gun and pointed it at the water shaman aside.

When a destructive beam killed the earth shaman, she also fell from the sky, pointed the magic gun at his head, and released the spell "Charged Pyroblast".

"boom--"

Before he could raise his hand to cast a spell, the "Charged Fire Explosion" exploded on his spell shield.

In the violent explosion, the water shaman's bones and internal organs were shattered, flying backwards like a piece of charred rag, and fell to the ground without making a sound.

Even though the remaining spell shield blocked a considerable amount of damage for him, "Charged Pyroblast" was the most powerful attack spell below the sixth level. The aftermath of the explosion after breaking the shield still killed him on the spot.

A fragile glass cannon, as long as they catch their flaw, the mage is nothing more than that.

Yuna's timing was too precise, and she took action just when the two high-level mages were still in their daze, tired of escaping from the sea of ​​fire, and most of their magic shields were consumed.

From the beginning of the descent to the killing of the two high-level mages, the entire process was completed in an instant, which can be described as clean and smooth.

Even Nolen, who was watching the battle from the sidelines, was shocked by her left and right bow and two-pronged attack method.

Originally, he planned to let Yuna give priority to killing the earth shaman who seemed to have a higher status. Unexpectedly, she actually killed a high-level mage next to her.

After freeing her left hand, there was an unexpected gain. If a few more weapons were strapped to her body, could she still use full firepower and lock on and annihilate seven or eight targets at the same time in an instant?
When will the whole colorful cannon be tried?
In the distance, Ryan saw a figure swooping down from the sky, and at the same time a flash of light lit up in the sky, and he knew that it was the White Raven who had taken action.

Here, under the firepower of five magic cannons, no one of the defensive troops of the prairie people on the highlands survived, and no one could stop the Knights' attack.

"Charge!" Ryan pulled out the knight's sword, "The glory of the empire is with you and me!"

The attack horn sounded, and the Linfeng Knights were like a rainbow. They bypassed the burning highlands and charged towards the prairie people's base camp.

At this time, in the stronghold, Heavenly Father was holding a long bow and watching the endless sky.

After the White Raven released the "Sky Burning Flame" towards the base, he hadn't slept a wink from last night until now. He was always alert to the enemies in the sky to prevent the White Raven from repeating his same tricks.

He was right to be worried, and the white raven did come again the next day.

But not only the White Raven came, but also the knights from Linfeng City.

"Father!"

Su Yi strode out from the tent on the side, with a pale face, "The entire Knights are dispatched, our defensive troops have been completely wiped out!"

"How long has it been..." Heavenly Father sighed, "When did their strength become so strong?"

Only a few minutes into the battle, the situation has become one-sided. It is not an exaggeration to say that the strength has been crushed.

Is this the same Linfeng City that faced their invasion two months ago but didn't even dare to fight an army?
Back then, they were invincible on the grassland. Even so, they were not satisfied and wanted to capture Linfeng City as well.

Nowadays, the situation is changing, and the clarion call of Linfeng's army to attack can be faintly heard in his stronghold.

Looking at the raging fire in the distance, the bloody reality told them soberly:
What the Lebus tribe is about to face is not only defeat, but also death.

"I will lead the troops to attack them." Heavenly Father quickly made a decision, "You, take the remaining tribesmen and leave quickly.

"Leave the grassland, cross the border, go back, and rest outside for several decades.

"As long as the seeds of the Lebus tribe are still there, hope is still there. As long as you don't forget your mission, your wishes will one day come true."

"No, I'm not leaving!"

Su Yi's eyes were bloodshot, "My brother is dead, so many soldiers are dead, I am not a coward, I am also willing to die for my tribe!"

"After I die, you will be the new Heavenly Father." Heavenly Father picked up the long bow and walked out with his machete. "No one can take your place, so you can't die. You have to be responsible for the remaining clan members."

Su Yi stood there speechless for a long time, then turned around and ran in the opposite direction of Heavenly Father.

Heavenly Father put on his armor and went into battle, regrouping his troops outside the stronghold.

After the previous wave of defensive troops were completely wiped out, there were only three thousand combatants left in the stronghold, and a considerable number of them were wounded.

Their morale is also low. Only when they look at the Heavenly Father, a glimmer of hope will flash in their eyes, as if a drowning person has found a life-saving straw.

To this day, most of them still trust that Heavenly Father will guide them on the right path.

This road carries both honor and the stable and beautiful future that the tribe has been longing for over the years.

"Are you all there?"

Heavenly Father glanced at his troops, rode out of the stronghold, and headed straight towards the Linfeng Knights.

On the other side of the horizon, he saw his destined opponent.

That was the leader of the Linfeng Knights and the strongest man in Linfeng City, the eighth-level knight Ryan Anderson.

The two people's eyes met each other, and at this moment, the atmosphere on the grassland became silent.

The strongest of the two forces will be here to put an end to the 80-year feud between the two sides.
