Not a Witch

Saige walked down the city tower and came to the central street behind the city gate. At this time, 30 havoc knights were ready to go.They are covered in crimson metal armor, with only a T-shaped gap on their faces to see the outside world. The cylindrical knight spear in their hands is bronze-colored, with exquisite engravings on it, emitting a rainbow-like glow under the sunlight. halo.

Although there are only 30 members, this is one-tenth of the strength of the Knights of Havoc in Crancia. The rest of the members are scattered in the capital and various provinces. They are the elite of the army, relying on the special ability of the Knights of Havoc in War Sequence 5o , can perform magical resonance with companions, and display the ability to approach Sequence 6 for a short time.

"Master General."

An attendant brought a heavy West Wind Spear, which was picked up by Saige casually, turned on his horse, and then put the butt of the gun on the ground, digging a dull hole.Although this West Wind Spear is powerful, holding it for a long time puts enormous pressure on the war horse under his crotch.

He looked at the silent and powerful warriors in front of him. Although they were wearing helmets, their familiar figures and figures made him easily recognize their names.

These people are the early elites who followed the Crancia Uprising. They used to have nearly 10 comrades, and not many survived today, but there is no doubt that these living people are elites, and they are also the spine and skeleton of the army. It wasn't because of the Frost Rose's invasion this time, he didn't want this group of people to continue to be lost on the battlefield.

But, there is no choice, right?

Peace has never been proclaimed with slogans and diplomacy, but with a knife and a gun.

"Soldiers! Although we are not related by blood, we still call each other brothers because we believe in the same ideals and walk on the same path."

"Now, it's time to verify the ideal. Are you willing to join me in casting the cornerstone of this dream with iron and blood?"

"Yes!" A dull voice came from under the armor.

"Okay! Raise your gun and charge with me!"

The steel golem outside the city swept across the crenels on the city wall with a blue beam of light, followed the gentle hillside upwards, and then began to hit the city wall with a heavy sledgehammer, pieces of boulders peeled off and collapsed, and gaps began to appear in the city wall built on the mountain.

Just when the mages outside the city thought they were about to break through the city and end the battle, the city gate suddenly opened.

The long rolling gate pulled up layers of iron fences, and then pushed open the heavy wooden door nailed with steel.

Knights wearing fiery red cloaks and feathers came out one after another, holding bronze cylindrical lances.With the charge and acceleration, the cloak rolled in the wind like flames, and the engravings on the lance also flowed with golden light, and finally the dazzling light made the entire lance look like red-hot iron.

The strong wind howled, the horses neighed, and the setting sun was like blood.

Chapter 22 Dirge of Fire

Emenas, Central Schoolhouse.

"Next, Darcy of Qiaodun Academy, against Ling of Walled City Academy." Following the referee's order, the two stepped onto the playing field.

Darcy, who was wearing a dark steel armor, was holding a thick spear in his hand, and he waved it in the air casually. After getting used to it, a burst of piercing whistling sounded in the venue, and then the spear stood on the ground. Stand in the venue.

Even through the thick armor, the students present could still feel the powerful power contained in that body.

On the other side of the arena, a girl from the Wing tribe slowly descended from the sky wearing a close-fitting silver armor. The pair of wings behind her are not a phantom made of magic power or energy, but a flesh and blood entity. The feathers were like sword blades, reflecting bursts of dangerous brilliance under the lights of the venue.

"Game start!"

Following the referee's order, Ling flew directly into the sky, and the blade feathers on her wings spread out, like daggers of cold light surrounding her side.

As a branch of the orc clan, the wing clan has the ability similar to some monsters, which can turn their wings and feathers into sharp blades for attack.

As she entered the high altitude, avoiding Darcy's attack range, the scattered silver feathers gathered in the air like swallows, and then swooped down on the opponent below.

The extremely sharp edge shone with a dangerous brilliance.

---------

Crancia, Jiansong City.

Breathing the choking smell of gunpowder smoke on the battlefield, these golden-red knights charged downward from top to bottom in a cloud of dust, like a pouring torrent.The thin team of only 30 people is like a tsunami, unstoppable.

The war horse leaped high and then fell down. The golem in front of him suddenly became larger in the field of vision. The lance under the wrist and arm had already been mounted on the horse, and it hit the golem with the charge.

And the moment the two came into contact, a huge release force came from the tip of the gun, and riding the gun was like a red-hot soldering iron inserted into butter, and the pervasive green smoke was accompanied by the sound of sizzling.

Even the heavy golem was lifted up slightly at this moment, slid backwards, and was cut with long and hideous wounds by the blazing sun-like spear.The iron pieces and machinery in it were flying, and the driver was turned into broken flesh and blood in an instant, roasted and ground by high temperature.

Under the scorching torrent, more than 60 of the original 20 golems outside the city wall were scrapped in an instant, and the mage among them was also killed.After penetrating the sparse formation of the golem, Saige took the Havoc Knight behind him and turned around on the river beach, gasping for breath, bursts of white air came from the gap under the helmet, and the body inside the armor had already Drenched in sweat, I felt a chill in the late autumn evening wind.

He glanced across, and briefly counted the number of people. There were more than 30 catastrophe knights, and none of them was missing. They were indeed elites who had experienced battle.

Clenching the hot lance in his hand, he remounted the horse. The sound of the horse's hooves changed from slow to fast, and the group of knights in golden and red capes started their second charge.

The golems scattered on the battlefield by the catastrophe knights scattered on both sides. They no longer attacked the city wall, but turned around. The magic cannons on their shoulders burst into condensed brilliance, and then a series of faint blue rays of light swept across the battlefield.

With such a short distance, the narrow and messy battlefield is impossible to avoid at this time. The knights in the front line bear the brunt and turn into real burning flames in the beam of light. The teammates tried their best to cover it for a few more seconds, and then, as if they had lost all their strength, they fell to the side of the road, followed by the wailing of the horses, and there was no life left.

And the havoc knights in the rear continued to move forward.

"Go on, Clancy!"

The charge slogan of glory has never ceased since the day of the uprising, and the prayer and belief from the bottom of the heart are so strong that it burns like a bursting flame in the chest, which makes people want to breathe out.

Everything in the field of vision seems to have nothing else, and there is only one belief in this life.Go forward, go forward, keep going forward, there is only one way to open up the future, there is no other way.

Abandoning any weak luck and illusions, not praying for any mercy and charity, only the spear and flag in hand are so practical and firm, this is Clancia's choice, belief, and destiny.

The broken city gate opened again. Taking advantage of the time when the Golem was fighting against the Havoc Knights, a group of cavalry without extraordinary strength rushed out of the city gate. They carried explosives and attacked from the back of the Golem. The dark gray armor was like a falling arrow , into this chaotic battlefield.

Facing the scene of front and back attacks, the remaining golems on the field had no time to react. They knocked down a group of catastrophe knights, and then they were approached by the cavalry who rushed up later, detonating explosives, accompanied by loud noises, and the monstrous dust Set off on the battlefield.

The battlefield was filled with dusty yellow dust, accompanied by the sound of tooth-acid metal pulling and twisting, tall golems fell down, some of the mages tried to escape from the air through the hatch, and then a shot from the battlefield below Take a long spear, insert it in the air, burst blood flowers and stumps in the air, and then scatter on the ground.

The mighty steel golem legion before finally fell, and there was no more metal friction and roar on the battlefield.

Regardless of the wounds and pain on their bodies, the remaining soldiers jumped off their horses and staggered to the fallen comrades, looking for survivors who had even breathed a sigh of relief.

The night wind blows in the evening, and the pungent gunpowder smoke and dust slowly dissipate, leaving behind a battlefield of steel, blood, broken guns, and stumps.

Saige stopped the horse under him slowly, turned over and dismounted, and looked at the adjutant in the gully, whose face was still fresh in the morning, but now it was covered with dust, sleeping peacefully here.

He carefully wiped the dust off its face, tried to lift it up, and put it under the tree on the side of the battlefield.

It's a pity that a strange movement sounded from the other side of the river beach.

Facing the last afterglow of the setting sun, the tall brass and reddish-brown body slowly appeared at the end of the field of vision.The thick metal shell reflects a swaying sparkling light in the setting sun.

They climbed over the top of a slope and walked down the slope, their lower bodies shrouded in the shadow of night.The mechanical friction and roar made people feel shocked and horrified, just like a giant human-eating beast in ancient legends.

The follow-up golem legion of the Frost Rose Alliance, the 'Bronze Horn' and 'Fire Thorn' entered the battlefield. At this time, Jiansong City was already dilapidated, and the remnants and bomb craters dumped outside the city wall made it difficult to quickly regroup the troops.

As the golems approached, the ground trembled, and then the golems stopped moving instead of advancing.There are two trumpet-like cannon muzzles on the shoulders of the brass-shelled golem, which began to condense the brilliance of magic power, and then orange fireballs gradually formed at the cannon muzzles.

These golems standing in the evening valley are like small suns lit up. The burning light of the fireball reflects the night. The shadow behind the golems and the firelight refracted by the copper-colored metal on the chest form an extremely sharp contrast.

The high temperature scorched the air, and these fireballs and golems twisted and swayed slightly in the light.

Faced with such a situation, the defenders in Jiansong City could no longer see anything else, only the rows of scorching fireballs slowly expanded in their field of vision, and then rose slowly.

Until the end, the flame flooded every corner of the pupil.

Chapter 23 The Wind Rises to the South Shore

"Bridge Pier Academy, Darcy wins!"

The arena under the moon was illuminated by bright lights. Ling was lying on his side on the ground, the wings on his back were torn and broken, and dark red pools of blood slowly flowed on the ground.

And Darcy standing on the field was not feeling well either. One of his eyes was stabbed blind, most of the armor on his body was damaged, and the original long spear in his hand was broken in two and stuck obliquely on the ground, his body was covered with red and black blood.

This battle was extremely fierce, and it was also the most tragic one in this college competition.

The students in the auditorium watched this scene and began to discuss.

"It's not good. In Darcy's state, even if he is treated by a sage in the academy, he will not be able to recover in a short time. The next game will be very difficult."

"And among the top four today, apart from Darcy, the other three are students of the Walled City College, Bumansha, Hongfan, and Atati."

"It's dangerous this time..." When many students were discussing, the students of Qiaodun College were also very worried about the chief's state.

In the auditorium, Lorraine Hill sat on the side of Temple College, watching the results of the competition on the stage, but couldn't help admiring Darcy.

These members of my club are originally the most talented group of peers in this world. Under my teaching and training, it can be said that they have been practicing in actual combat almost every day this year, not only with the "Black Veil" There have been several conflicts, and the internal competition is also extremely fierce.

At that time, in order to allow everyone to quickly improve their strength and motivate members, I took out several extraordinary potions that could improve their own strength, including [Golden Maple Sugar], [Crimson Frost Sugar Potion], [Gloom Concentrating Potion], and [Ice Calendula Flower] Potion] [Golden Moon Potion].

It can be said that it is as if the most talented child eats the best nutritious meal under the best practice method.The superposition of such various bonuses has created the soaring strength of the 'Black Water Lily' society today, completely suppressing the former 'Black Veil'.

And Darcy's background is not considered good, and she got to where she is today through her own efforts. This kind of talent and will is what she admires.

No wonder after the Mercury Dynasty, with the rise of the human race as a whole, witches gradually withdrew from the original stage and center position.With a huge population base, even if such geniuses are only one in [-], they will continue to emerge. These geniuses who have experienced many hardships and competitions have grown up, and their hearts and wisdom are not inferior to those born witches, not to mention their numbers. What's more, even if a witch walks in the world, sometimes she has to be scruples about her existence, and she shouldn't go too far.

Fortunately, witches are also from ordinary humans, and the two have not been completely separated and split. In the eyes of many sages, witches are just a group of lucky and slightly special human beings. They may respect the contributions of witches in the past history, but Nor will it be worshiped blindly.

Those who can reach the step of Sequence 9 are basically outstanding people in various fields, with their own unique advantages and specialties. They may not live as long as the witches, but they still continue to influence the world.

And Darcy can be said to be walking on such a path, so even though his family background is not good, many sages in the academy will still secretly protect him, so that such a genius will not be easily bullied by those dignitaries.

It is also true that Emenas is the place that many young people in Ivar yearn for. No matter what your background is, as long as you can show your value and talent, there will be a teacher to help you, so that you will not be rejected. buried.

And just as Lorraine Hill was thinking about the relationship between Sequence 9 among humans and the witch, the battle on the field began again.

"Walled City Academy, Bumansha vs. Atati!"

"It's not good, it's actually Sister Bu Mansha." Atati whispered in his mouth, but his body movements were still not slow. The two emerald green wooden swords drew a few sword flowers in the air, and then stood in the venue side.

Although from the appearance, Atati is a little more youthful, but in fact she is a few years older than Bu Mansha, but the development of the elves is slower.Besides, Bulmansha always has the temperament of the elder sister next door, and everyone in the club, including Lorraine Hill, will call Sister Bulmansha.

"Has Atati thought of any moves this time?"

Compared with Atatati's slightly more ornate way of entering the arena, Bumansha was much simpler. She walked onto the stage slowly with an ordinary wooden sword, just like an outing.

"No, I can't think of it." Atati shook his head, his golden and slender twin ponytails swaying in the night wind.

"The game begins!" The referee ordered.

"However, I'll try."

Then her figure flashed, two emerald green wooden swords streaked across the air like butterflies piercing flowers, and attacked the seemingly ordinary girl next door.

-

New Virga Business Union, Hoplander.

The early morning mist hadn't cleared yet, and the meeting hall in the city was already full of people, representatives from all parties gathered here.

Many people were woken up in their sleep, received urgent news, and then came.

"Everyone, news came from Turbulent City that Frost Rose has sent troops to the north. The boats carrying golems and soldiers almost occupied the entire river, and now our checkpoint on the Black Pine River is useless."

"When the contract was signed, didn't it stipulate that any army with more than 2000 people had to report and notify in advance?" one of the representatives asked.

"That's true, but now the other party probably doesn't care about such regulations."
