Arad's Sword

Chapter 45 One Person One Day One City

Did Midi really do nothing for the first two days?

Of course not.

Just from Lanst's perspective, from the perspective of military strategy, there may indeed be no arrangements and actions worthy of attention.However, during the past two days, Midi has been preparing non-stop for the final attack, and his trump cards are Fina Hamilton and Alice Outlops.

With Fort Joseph as the center, the Witch of the Mist explored the surrounding area hundreds of kilometers in the past two days, picked out all the magic veins in it, and set up a diversion circle to divert the magic power in the entire area, All of them were concentrated in the high ground where the military camp was located.

And Midi and Fina are not idle either. The reborn Midi has insights beyond the times. As an elementalist, Fina has perfect control techniques. A large magic circle composed of different parts can perfectly concentrate the magic power and make it under Fina's control.

In this way, the joint efforts of the Misty Witch, the future Queen of Magic Bullets, and Midi finally brought about a terrifying attack that was enough to shock the entire Principality of Belle Mare today.

Previously, during the Yorkshire Raid, although Fina also fired a magic bullet with a range of one and a half kilometers, but the power was far from terrible. It could only destroy those wooden sentry towers. Checkpoints, or generate explosive shock waves, killing and injuring a dozen soldiers.

From the perspective of the overall situation, it is more of a tactical containment and deterrence, but it is by no means a magic capable of effective mass destruction.Otherwise, how could General Chihu have the guts to pull up an army of [-] people and encircle them head-on while staring at Fei Na's artillery fire?

And in front of a castle built by an earl family after several generations of management, that kind of magic bullet is not enough.

You must know that the bricks and tiles used to build the castle are not ordinary bricks and tiles, but have been treated to a certain extent. Not only are they extremely strong and not easy to break, but they are also resistant to magic.An attack that can make a big hole in the ground, hitting the wall of a lord's castle, may just shake down a few bricks.

But this time is different.

What Fei Na was standing under was not a ring snake magic circle that could only absorb a little more magic power from the air, but a real magic sealing circle that gathered the power of all the magic veins within a radius of hundreds of kilometers!
Ordinary elementalists can't control such a huge power at all, even a dozen elementalists can't do it.

But Fei Na could. The red-haired girl's petite body seemed to hide endless power, and she easily suppressed the restless dragon in the magic sealing formation, and she obviously still had strength left.

Therefore, the degree of compression, shooting speed, accuracy, and blasting effect of the magic bullet have all reached a level beyond imagination.

The first attack, without calibration or adjustment, directly shattered a large part of the city wall and shook the entire castle!

Judging from the results, it only takes about 10 minutes to prepare the next magic bullet.

These 10 minutes were not because Fina wanted to rest, but because the magic sealing array was emptied, and the magic power had to be absorbed from the land again, so the gap occurred.

It is conceivable that if the magic power is really infinite, what kind of terrifying momentum Fina's attack will achieve.

But even if there is a 10-minute pause, this kind of firepower is enough.

"Where is the next round going to be?" Ten minutes later, Fina moved her limbs and asked neatly.

Without any hesitation, Midi pointed out the target directly: "The main entrance."

Without saying a word, the red-haired girl gathered her magic power, and when she raised her hand, it was another earth-shattering blow!
Amidst the roaring noise, a ball of fire as bright as the sun exploded on the heavy gate made of stainless steel in Fort Joseph.The high-speed flying magic bullet hit the metal, suddenly slowed down, and then began to deform.

If it was an ordinary magic bullet, it would probably explode immediately, and then the magic power would be released evenly. However, this special magic bullet made by Fina was different.Although it was completely deformed by the powerful impact, as if it had been melted, the magic power contained in it did not burst, but pierced through the steel gate with a pounce, turning into a jet of hot magic energy, directly Shot into the castle!

Although the speed of this jet of magic energy was greatly reduced compared to the initial attack, the momentum and the energy contained in it still caused a terrible explosion in the castle.

When the smoke from the explosion dissipated, the castle was in a mess, with casualties everywhere.

And on the steel gate, which could have been supported for a long time even in the face of a battering ram, there was a large hole with a diameter of more than one meter, and the edge was still glowing red due to the high temperature.

The entire Fort Joseph was silent.

There was no screaming or crying, because everyone was stunned, from servants to nobles, from knights to veterans, everyone who witnessed the attack had a blank mind.

Even if it's the attack of the giant dragon, I'm afraid it's nothing more than that, right?But the army on the opposite side, the red-haired girl standing on the high ground, didn't seem to have even reached level 30, so she just played out so casually?
And not just one shot?
In this way, fear spread in the silence, and it was deeply implanted in the heart, which could not be dispelled at all.

Among them is the fear of failure, the fear of death, and the fear of the unknown and mysterious, but the main thing is the fear of despair when facing overwhelming power.

"General, please go to the city to evade immediately, this attack... If you don't dodge for a while, it won't work..." The pale adjutant finally remembered something, quickly grabbed Lanster's arm, and persuaded him incoherently.

However, the veteran of the Joseph family shook his head bitterly and with difficulty.

The previous self-satisfaction, prudence, control of the overall situation, calmness and so on... everything was smashed to pieces under this unparalleled force.

What Lanster is thinking about now is when the city will be broken, and how he, as the most loyal minister of Quinine's line, will face the end of the city.

But Midi on the opposite side certainly wouldn't wait for him to come up with a result.

After 10 minutes, the third magic bullet pierced through the air, followed by the fourth, fifth...

The steel gate has been completely destroyed, leaving only an ugly big hole, which makes the entire Fort Joseph look as if its front teeth have been knocked out, which looks ridiculous.

The defense of Fort Joseph, which had been in operation for more than 100 years, collapsed in less than an hour.

However, facing the castle that had lost its defense, the elves who formed a defensive formation did not take any action at all, and they still stood firmly outside the range of the bed crossbow, as if they came here not for Fighting, but just to put on such a fully armed pose.

This is a very simple reason: since you can directly use long-range attacks to destroy the enemy, why do you need to start a hand-to-hand battle and let the precious elf warriors lose?
Most generals can't hold back when they see a castle that has lost its main entrance, but for Midi, who has won countless victories in the previous life, he is always very calm and always sees the best choice.

Not just for profit, but also for the lives of the elf warriors who went out with him.

Like the previous life, Midi will never do the practice of seeking victory at all costs and finally causing the Falcon Group to collapse.

What is the difference between victory and failure if there is no companion to share?
As a result, nothing changed. Fina's magic bullet continued to hit the castle with one blow after another at a steady rhythm of every 10 minutes.

The powerful bed crossbows erected on the protruding towers were destroyed one by one.

The catapult hidden behind the city wall was penetrated together with the bunker, and was reduced to debris in the explosion.

The arrow tower guarded by a large number of roaming gunmen was hit by the base and collapsed directly, and the falling tower body brought up a large amount of dust.

If a castle is a giant beast of war devouring flesh and life, then at this moment, under Fina's magic bullet, the carapace covering its body is constantly being smashed.Not only that, but its swingable tail has been cut off, its sharp limbs have been broken off, and even its biting teeth have been ripped off one by one, and the last thing left is nothing but fundamental It's just a torso without any resistance.

When the last arrow tower also collapsed, the Joseph defenders who were huddled in the castle finally responded.

A group of knights came out from the ruins of the main gate. They wore heavy armor, climbed over the ruins in a clumsy posture, and then raised a white flag.

Without firing an arrow or firing a bullet, the defenders of Fort Joseph just surrendered.

No one was lost, and within a day, Midi captured a castle in this way.

"Although other magic is also well mastered, I still have to say that Miss Fina is simply the queen of magic bullets." Sigmund, who had no chance to play from the beginning to the end, couldn't help feeling so emotional.

"Yeah, Queen of Magic Bullets." Lilian on the side also had no idea at all, whether it was about the red-haired girl she had followed for many years, or about the black-haired boy who came up with this attack method.

"Magic Bullet Queen... Midi, what do you think of this name?" The red-haired girl flicked her long hair sassyly, then turned around and asked.

"That's right." Midi nodded, and then glanced at the black-haired girl who was still silent beside her. "It's the opposite of the Witch of the Mist."

Just like in the previous life, Fina was indeed called the Queen of Magic Bullets.From then on, Midi didn't have to call her "the future queen of magic bullets" in her heart, but she was the queen of magic bullets, the most powerful elementalist in the entire Principality of Belle Mare who broke through a city with one person.

As for Alice, she didn't seem to be surprised by Fina's destructive power. She just shrugged her shoulders and stood up, signaling to everyone to stop chatting and get down to business.

Knowing the attitude of the Witch of the Mist very well, Midi also nodded and turned her gaze back to the already riddled castle.

"Let's go meet Earl Joseph." The black-haired boy strode forward as he said so.

　On the last day of the new book issue, I was frantically asking for recommendations...Ah?Has been kicked off the new book list? (╯‵ ′)╯︵┴─┴, next week I will face a lot of great gods, so I can’t do anything [T__T]
