From Skaven to God of War

Chapter 253, Magic Academy

Every province in the human empire has its own magic academy, and the Golden Province is no exception. The Golden Wheat Field Academy, a seemingly inconspicuous academy, was once dazzling in the trend of magic in life. The graduated mages specialize in agricultural magic, from the planting and cultivation of magical plants to the screening and cultivation of ordinary crops, which are the specialties of the Golden Wheat Field Academy.

Another name that was once forgotten was the School of Rock and Earth.

High walls rose from the flat ground, ravines were torn out, and among the mages accompanying the army there were many graduates of the Golden Wheatfield Academy. The earth was manipulated by their combined efforts, and a rough fortress was quickly taking shape.

This academy and its students are the biggest bargaining chips of the Astronomical Pope. To be fair, he has nothing much to talk about with these wizards who do not believe in God. There is also a madman in the Empire's first magic academy who shouts that God is no different from humans. It is difficult for the two groups to get together and neither of them is interested in the other.

Until now, the situation has changed. It is difficult for academies with too loose structures to gather strength together, which means that they are destined to have difficulty in having a decisive voice and are affected by the environment.

And now, he is the real controller of this Jilang City.

The Stargazing Pope was now qualified to use the Golden Wheatfield Academy as a bargaining chip. In this upheaval that affected a wide range of people, this group of mages who were good at agriculture and architecture were naturally coveted by many bigwigs and were excellent bargaining chips.

outside the city.

In the simple fortress that was built in a very short time, the human soldiers were ready.

Prepared to resist the attack of the ratmen, rounds of fireballs were thrown out, causing waves in the dark tide but without any other impact.

It wasn't just the military mages casting magic; the magic pattern armor on the magic knights also began to flash with light.

Although they are called knights, in fact, these guys can be regarded as an all-round soldier. A qualified magic knight will master various skills before reaching adulthood. Riding, swordsmanship, archery, shield strike, lance, weapon strike, combat, and command are all things they have to learn. Strictly speaking, they are all trained to be commanders.

As nobles they also had their own territories and armies.

But now they gave up riding their horses and held shields and swords. One by one, motivational spells and enhancement spells lit up on their bodies, blessing the soldiers around them.

During the long period of peace, the number of magic knights has been increasing, especially in the rich area of ​​the Golden Province.

They should have had their own guards and attendants, but the appearance and raid of the ratmen were so sudden.

Even if the village was captured and the castle gate was broken, if these magic knights wanted to escape, as long as they did not run into the large army led by Shu Zhan, they would most likely be able to rush out when facing ordinary ratmen troops or even ratmen warlords.

After escaping from their own territory in a panic, their only option was the city of Jilang.

After losing their territory and guards, it is not surprising that they were filled into the guard army.

After all, although knights are nobles, they are only the lowest level of nobles.

In the mottled and disorderly light, the magic knights clenched their shields tightly and faced the incoming dark tide. Facing an enemy of this scale, it was normal to be nervous. The ordinary guards performed even worse. They tightly grasped their spears and did not even notice that their hands turned red unconsciously.

The magic knights were demoted and added to the defensive line, while another team mounted their warhorses. Hidden behind the rough fortress that rose from the earth by magic in front of the city were the Vatican knights. A team of solemn Vatican knights were making preparations, and the leader had a purple gem inlaid on his bright breastplate.

On the towering city wall, the guards began to turn the capstan of the crossbow, ready to be fired.

These things have been gathering dust in the logistics warehouse of the City of Waves for a long time. After the Magic Academy was officially established and more and more wizards began to integrate into the human empire, these things seemed less necessary.

The mages are just too versatile.

By this time, the number of ratmen was simply too great.

There was no end to the black tide that was pressing in madly.

The huge catapults of the ratmen began to operate, huge rocks came whizzing in, and the accompanying mages began to call for strong winds in a panic.

There are too many things that need to be done by these military mages. Even though there are not a few military mages on the battlefield at this time, they still seem extremely busy and confused with so many things to do.

There was no time to suppress the incoming tide of ratmen at once, which was why these antiques were dug out from the logistics department and put back on the walls of Stirrup City.

The two sides officially collided.

Compared to the towering and glorious city walls, this makeshift fortress is not a difficult challenge for the ratmen. Even without the help of ladders, the ratmen can easily climb the outer wall of the fortress.

Soon, the khaki-colored fortress was dyed gray-black. Countless surging ratmen warriors almost completely submerged this hastily built fortress and began to fight with the defenders stationed in it.

With the blessing of one magic enhancement after another, the strength, speed, stamina and defense of these city guards have been greatly improved, and they can easily suppress and kill a single ratman warrior in battle.

A somewhat nervous city guard thrust out the spear in his hand with force. The ratman warrior in front of him with a ferocious expression wanted to resist and raised the round shield in his hand. However, it was difficult for him to deal with the city guard who was blessed in all aspects. The round shield was knocked away and the spear pierced his chest. The ferocity on his face did not disappear, but an expression of disbelief. After easily killing the ratman warrior who climbed up, the nervous city guard got more courage and pulled out his spear. The ratman warrior in front of him fell from the fortress, but the battle was far from over. The ratman warrior who fell from the fortress was obviously just the beginning. More ratman warriors climbed up and the fighting continued.

The church knights were ready, and the charge was about to begin. Facing the endless pressure from the ratmen, the human side had no way of actually taking down a fortress.

Even with the help of a large number of graduated mages from the Golden Wheatfield Academy, it would be impossible.

This was just a test. If the ratmen only showed these things, then he would not hesitate to build the fortress outside the city. He would use the fortresses to force a hole in the ratmen's blockade of Jilang City and build a hub city.

The location of the hub has been chosen, an abandoned mine located on a raised hill. As long as enough Golden Wheat Field Wizards get involved, soon this abandoned mine and the raised hill can be transformed into a solid fortress city.

As long as the ratmen's blockade of Stirrup City is broken, a new transit city will be built as an independent city to attract the ratmen's attention and as a hub connecting Stirrup City with the human provinces in the rear.

Once the hub is down, the deadlock will be half solved.
