The long fairy road is wonderful

Chapter 874 The Long Morning (2)

In the first wave of confrontation with the demons, the church side can be said to have lost completely, and also lost very badly.

Of the ten directly subordinate knight orders, two of them can basically cancel their numbers, and there are not many people left in the other two.

The leader of the Sun Knights was marked as missing, but he could actually be said to have died in battle, because if he succeeded in killing the demons, the beast tide would not continue such an organized attack.

Before much fighting, the church's direct troops were reduced by nearly half, and the well-preserved Sun Knights couldn't break out of the siege.

Mei Li's decision was correct in a sense, but there were less than 20 people who were willing to listen to her and follow her back, which was no different from talking better than nothing.

I don't know what happened to the members of the Knights who went to the fortress in the opposite direction from Meili, but to be honest, they are not very optimistic.

Suffering such a huge loss can be said unceremoniously to be the fault of the church leadership.

They thought the matter of dealing with the demons was too simple, and they didn't expect that the demons would know how to form troops. It would be too reckless to modify the method of dealing with the beast horde to deal with the demons.

The tuition fee is a bit expensive, but fortunately the church can afford it, and it is not completely lack of strength to continue fighting.

Not to mention that there are still five knight orders left in the church, and the armies of various countries basically have no losses. If they can be integrated, they will be a very powerful force.

But as I said before, the map of the plane of Sevilla is like a stained glass plate, with countries of different sizes everywhere, and there are so many feuds between countries, the kind of bloody hatred.

It is not so easy to integrate them and persuade them to tide over difficulties together, even if the threat is obvious.

Simply put, the church needs time.

And now, all that's missing is time.

Farland County is one of the bridgeheads to enter the hinterland of the mainland. If you don't pass through here, you need to go around thousands of miles to enter the hinterland of the mainland.Once this place is lost, the prosperous and densely populated area in the center of the continent will become the granary of monsters.

Therefore, there must be no mistakes in Farland County, otherwise the consequences will be disastrous.

The animal horde chasing Lin Tianci and the others was just the vanguard of a real large force. According to the results of Fran County using long-distance scouting spells and sending scouts back to report, the super-large-scale animal horde is heading towards Fran County. It was obvious that he wanted to gnaw off this hard bone.

While negotiating with the surrounding countries of Farland County, the church asked them to send troops, and at the same time sent the Silver Wing Knights to help defend.

However, these are distant waters, which cannot quench their thirst. Even the fastest-moving Silver Wing Knights will not arrive until after dawn when they move quickly on a magic locomotive.

After all, the route of the magic locomotive has been proven to be not very safe. If the members of the Knights were to rely on the magic locomotive to get close to Farland County, they might suffer even greater losses. Meili and her squadron were a lesson from the past.

So the Silver Wing Knights could only take the magic locomotive to the vicinity, change horses and rush all the way, let alone those reinforcements from various countries who are still wrangling and slower.

The beast horde was about to reach outside Farland County, and without reinforcements, they could only rely on themselves.

That's why Mei Li came to ask Brother Lin if he had any spells that could kill people in a large area. Fran County now needs to mobilize all the people who can help defend the city.

Therefore, Lin Tianci is now sitting on the tower of the city wall, looking at the confused night with some boredom.

The city wall in Farland County is 30 meters high, and the city wall is trapezoidal, which helps drainage and resists impact, and is wide enough to run three or four horse-drawn carriages side by side on the city wall.

Moreover, the bricks and stones used to build the city wall are not just dug out from the mountains casually. Even the adhesive has been added with a certain amount of magic ingredients to make the city wall stronger. It can be said that this thing is already considered a super large of magic items.

From Lin Tianci's perspective, unless such a strong city wall is the kind of boss above the earth immortal, there may be some way, no matter how many beasts come, they will be courting death.

But this is wrong thinking.

If it was the usual beast horde, Fran County would certainly not be facing a formidable enemy, but the management of Fran County also learned of the disastrous defeat of the Knights from the church, and knew that the demons leading this horde of beasts would not be easy to deal with. .

After all, monsters are just beasts, and with the fighting power of beasts and the brains of intelligent creatures, it can be predicted that this must be a fierce battle.

The towers on the city wall are not parallel, but patchwork and asymmetrical.Some are taller and some are shorter, but what they have in common is that there are several mages sitting on them.

These towers are magic forts for mages to cast their spells, and densely packed magic lines are drawn on the floor under their feet. Sai Li said that this is a magic circle with the ability of "spell extension", which can increase the range of the released spells.

However, Lin Tianci tried the fire spell or something, but he didn't feel that the range was improved, maybe it wasn't effective for the immortal method.

Now directly in front of him is the first city wall in Farland County, and it is also the strongest and largest city wall. There are sentry guards everywhere on the city wall, and a bronze mirror is erected behind the huge bonfire, sweeping away like a searchlight. farmland.

Lin Tianci's back, just below the tower, is the second city wall. There are fewer people there. On the open space below the city wall, Mei Li sat with the local cavalry from Farland County. If there is any sign, these cavalry will rush out to clear the threat near the city wall.

So don't think that they can hide in a place sheltered from the wind and rest for a while. When the fight really starts, they are the ones who risk their lives the most.

"Mr. Lin, would you like some tea?"

Sally, who was beside her, was holding a three-piece tea set and asked, and the aroma of black tea came from the exquisite porcelain pot.

It should be said that the magical world is really unscientific. Sally's arm was almost bitten off by a ferocious shark. She also went into shock because of choking water, but after a series of healing spells, this girl is basically fine except for her complexion. Big problem.

After Lin Tianci thanked him, he picked up the black tea cup, Sally smiled, and sent the tea set to other mages around.

The cost of training a mage is definitely not comparable to that of training a warrior. Think about how much time and resources it takes to train a monk. Although the training of a magician is less expensive than a monk, it is not a small number.Fran County was able to form a spellcaster army because of its wealth.

However, those on the tower are basically adventurer mages recruited in the city, and the caster troops of Farland County are gathered in other places, ready to activate strategic magic at any time.

Strategic magic requires the cooperation of at least one hundred mages who are proficient in this way. Depending on the type of strategic magic, the more mages involved, the greater the power.

When the fight really starts, they will exist as the opening blow.

It is also because of the preciousness of the caster, compared to the big soldiers, Lin Tian gave them these 'forts' waiting on the tower to each have a small bench to sit on, and they can also eat some snacks and black tea, which seems very comfortable.

But this pleasant time will not last long.

After Sally distributed the black tea to the mages on the same tower, Lin Tianci vaguely saw a group of seven or eight people approaching on horseback in the distance. They should be scouts sent out.

They entered Farland County, and less than a minute later, a bell sounded on the city wall representing all the guards, and at the same time, the gate of Farland County was pulled upwards.

This shows that the beast tide is not too far away.

Lin Tianci drank the black tea in one gulp, put the teacup out of the way on the other side, stood up on the tower and looked into the distance.

Soon, a layer of shadow-like things appeared about one or two kilometers away, because there were too many of them, it looked like a black carpet.

Sai Li, who was always online and wanted to watch a good show, also became energetic. There are a lot of spells attached to her brooch. It must also have a zoom function. Seeing the black piece appear, she said to Lin Tianci:
"It's the evil wolf and the cockatrice, they should be the vanguard of the beast tide."

They were chased all over the ground by this group of guys before. It seems that after a day and most of the night's raid, this group of faster monsters bypassed the Ragnar Strait and came to the main gate of Farland County.

Sally also put down the teapot, and like the other sorcerers, she took out a one-way telescope and looked into the distance.

"They... seem to stop?"

This situation is very abnormal in the beast tide, because the beast tide does not have a real leader, they are just a mob composed of a large group of monsters, they will only see the city and smash it to see if they can beat it, and if they can't beat it, they simply fight Go around and continue to look for cities that can be beaten.This behavior continues until their numbers dwindle to normal levels that do not affect survival.

But this time is different, the beast horde controlled by the demons obviously already has the most basic formation, instead of simply knowing that F2A has gone up.

In the valley, more and more monsters gathered in the distance, it was almost dark, and the land could not be seen at all.

But even so, they have never stopped increasing their troops, as if the number is endless.

Not sure how other places are, the few adventurer mages around Lin Tianci were relaxed from the beginning, but after a few minutes, their faces became stiff.

After all, even adventurers who live their lives sucking blood on knife-edge have never seen so many monsters piled up together.

The beast horde seemed to be waiting for the follow-up to be in place. Fran County could only rely on the city wall for defense, and certainly did not dare to attack rashly. The two sides were in a stalemate for the time being.

Everyone became tense, and even breathing became a lot lighter.

This dignified atmosphere lasted for about half an hour, and when the time pointed to around four o'clock in the morning, the herd finally started to move.

Monsters such as evil wolves, dire tigers, cockatrices and other monsters came together in a black mass like a tsunami. They almost flooded the farmland outside the city, like a huge black wave, rushing towards the city wall with a rumbling noise.

"Archer alert!"

The shouts of officers sounded one after another on the city wall, and the slightly hoarse voice added a chill.

The evil wolf at the front had approached to a range of about one kilometer, and Lin Tianci could even see the green eyes of the evil wolf.

At this time, a flash of light appeared in the sky, huge enough to be as large as a city, and a complex light yellow magic circle appeared at the right time.

This is not a trial run, the strategic magic of Farland County has started...
