Not a Witch

He murmured and repeated these words, not knowing whether he was comforting the soldiers or himself, but now he has nothing to do, right?If he escaped, he might be killed by the supervisor team in the rear immediately.

With the sound of gunfire ringing in his ears, he lowered the brim of his hat, silently and heavily watching the approaching Wind Curtain Flag.

When Clancia's banner with golden tassels on a white background gradually approached the city wall, it suddenly stopped, which surprised the soldiers on the city wall and felt that they had survived the catastrophe.

But this feeling didn't last long. There was a heavy rolling sound from the hills in the wilderness in the distance, as if a heavy chariot trampling on the ground slowly entered the arena.

The first thing that catches the eye is the huge ramming horn that is slightly facing the sky. On the huge ramming horn that makes people have to look up, there are layers of gray calcium threads, rough and delicate, slightly revealing the ancient and desolate gray blue.

This daunting and huge ram is as high as 20 floors, and the soldiers below appear low and small in comparison.

And when this chariot loaded with giant rams appeared on the stage, the vast army array was neatly separated like a tide, leaving a passage for it to advance.

The attack on the city wall of Mozwa also stopped for a short time. Many mages and soldiers were shocked by this terrifying war machine, and the fear of the ancient life seemed to be awakened from the blood.

[Super Ancient Gray Cyan Hornstone]: The product of the combination of ancient life and extraordinary power, even if it dies, the remaining giant body is still shocking.

(Cornerstone: The overlord of the ocean during the Ordovician period about 4.6 million years ago, the only surviving subspecies today is the nautilus.

------

Lorraine Hill was riding a horse, standing on the hill, and the huge cornerstone in front of him that obscured the sky in his vision couldn't help feeling emotional in his heart.

This huge cornerstone shell is a gift from the Southern Islands, they discovered it on the seabed many years ago, and a month ago, she dispatched six Alexia-class battleships and dozens of Transcendent Sequence 6s to dispose of this Huge guys are pulled up from the bottom of the ocean and dragged onto land.

After that, nearly a thousand craftsmen and alchemists were called together to design a chariot base specially for it, and put it on it, so that it can be used today.

In the ancient times of the Ordovician, when many primitive life forms were still very small and less than a millimeter, the size of the giant cornerstone several meters long could be called an ancient giant.

However, with the development of hundreds of millions of years, it slowly disappeared into history, and the later life gradually became huge, so its size seemed inconspicuous.

The cornerstone that is slowly ascending the hillside today is not a fossil hundreds of millions of years ago. According to the conclusion drawn by Lorraine Hill's systematic analysis, this may be an attempt made by the "Tree of Life Sect" to restore ancient organisms, but It can grow to such a huge body under the influence of extraordinary power.

I'm really curious about what attempts and research those major factions made in their respective fields back then, Lorraine Hill sighed.

The "Tree of Life Sect" is passionate about life, transformation and transformation, making it more adaptable and utilizing superhuman powers.

The "primordial heart" aspires to achieve inner perfection and establish a heaven on earth.

The "Mechanical Council" still hopes to use AI, mechanization, and electronics to solve the problems of the world.

The "cloud of retrospect" shuttles through the gaps in space, hides itself, and blends into various organizations and factions like water, observing and recording everything.

"Deep Sea United" abandons the vast social structure, travels between the galaxy and the universe with a few and individuals, and moves forward alone.

The past scenes reappeared in my mind. Even if Lorraine Hill did not personally experience that era, the magnificent changes and ups and downs in it are enough to make people nostalgic and amazed.

On the other side of the battlefield, when the huge horned rock like a rhinoceros hit the horn climbed the hill, the orc shamans in the rear army lined up, and under their joint spellcasting, the hill descended to the ground of the city wall slowly. The jitter undulates, and finally forms a straight and inclined runway.

At this time, under the combined force of nearly a thousand high-level orc warriors, this heavy giant also slowly moved forward, and then slid towards the spacious giant passage.

Seeing this scene, the defenders on the city wall felt their mood sinking as the giant chariot started slowly.

"Blow it up!" There was fear and anger in the eager voice.

More than a dozen magic crystal cannons turned against the chariot that started slowly like a rhinoceros, and then the crimson golden shells poured out, shooting straight across the trajectory towards the giant cornerstone.

But this time, because the army was separated, there was no dense military formation around the chariot to protect it. When the shell pierced through the air, it was not hindered too much, and it directly hit it and exploded.

Like the depressing thunder bursting, the broken airflow and heat wave made the eardrums deaf for a while, even if you were on the city wall thousands of meters away, you could feel the burst of energy.

After a few seconds, the flames and smoke dissipated, and the defenders on the city wall eagerly watched the scene after the bombing, but there was no joy on their faces, only silence and depression.

The heavy cornerstone is gray-blue in color, and there are small pits on the spiral lines, like condensation after the bubbles disappear, but it feels smoother to the touch, heavy and hard calcium condensation, the shell of the giant cornerstone tens of thousands of years ago is still intact.

Its forward speed on the ramp is getting faster and faster. Even though the continuous shooting on the city wall has blasted some potholes in the ground, it seems that it is a trivial matter under the crushing of the unstoppable heavy wheels.

In the end, the heavy impact horn directly slammed into the towering city wall with shocking kinetic energy, and the sound of bricks breaking and collapsing was heard, and a huge gap was opened in the sturdy towering city wall.

Thousands of banners marched forward again, and armored soldiers with long spears poured into the city like a tide. Looking down from the sky, it was as if a multi-edged circular clock dial was inserted into a deep iron nail, and the steel and spears entered the dial. internal.

------

Gunpowder smoke and gunshots rang out in the city, and there were mages and soldiers resisting on many clock towers and towers. The streets were in chaos, and there were sounds of running, crying, and fighting everywhere.

When the city was about to break down, the old order began to collapse. Some officers tried to order the fleeing soldiers to fight back, but few people are willing to obey orders now.Some mages closed their homes and courtyards tightly, started sleeping golems one by one, and said their last prayers in their rooms, even if it was useless psychological comfort.

And some bold and ruthless people also took advantage of the chaos of the war to rush into the homes of former rich men, preparing to make a fortune before fleeing, thus changing their lives.

Now under the inscribed tower in the center, senior generals are frowning and staring at the mages in front of them.

"Are those adults still refusing to come out?" He was talking about the representatives and leaders of several major factions in Luerna.

"Sorry, Lord General, several adults are making the final decision inside." The Sequence 7 mage was wearing a white and blue windbreaker, blocking the doorway with sweat on his forehead.

The situation had already taken a turn for the worse, visible to the naked eye, but at this time the high-level officials inside the Frost Alliance were nowhere to be seen, which made many soldiers worried and angry.

"Get out of the way, whether it's a lie or the truth, now is the last moment." A veteran with a gray beard stepped forward, he slowly pressed his hand on the handle of the knife, his eyes were cold and firm.

"Sorry..." The words were stopped by the split blade.

A straight knife with light golden veins slashed directly at the emerging light blue barrier, trembling unceasingly, and sparks intertwined with magic power and crackling sounds continued to be heard from the place of contact.

Seeing this scene, the generals beside them were no longer silent, and also drew out their knives, aiming at the elite mages guarding the door.

"It seems that the generals have decided to rebel." The mage in the blue and white windbreaker said this, and there seemed to be some kind of relief in his tone.

"It's you who betrayed the people, right?" A general in dark scale armor stepped forward, holding a simple dark gold spear in his hand.

"Under the initiative and orders of those adults, the country launched a war, but now at the last moment, they have disappeared without any explanation."

"Even if it's acceptable to flee with your family and surrender, but no! Nothing! Now even people can't be found anywhere. Are they cowardly cowards!"

"Adults have their own decisions, I have nothing to tell." The blue and white mage who guarded the gate still replied like this, he seemed to have already made up his mind.

"Then go to hell! Fire!"

Under the command of the general, the three rows of magic crystal gunmen behind them aimed at the tower under the tower.

The crimson short-blazing flames resounded intensively, and at such a short distance, even these elite mages couldn't bear it. The shattered and flying scene came from the previous solid barrier, and its brilliance quickly weakened.

brush--

Finally, a bullet pierced through the light blue barrier and shot into the mage's chest, and a flower of blood rose up, which was the sound of the bullet passing through the flesh and bones.

Immediately afterwards, more blood sprayed on his chest, arms, and legs, and he also fell down slowly like a rag doll.

The corners of his mouth and teeth were covered with blood. He looked at the gradually blurred gray sky and muttered to himself.

"You guys don't understand anything..."

The arm was raised slightly, as if trying to grab something, but in the end it was powerless and fell down again without a sound.

The soldiers stepped forward and dragged the corpses of these mages aside, and then blasted the gate of the tower with cannons and rushed into it.

The air in the tower was cold, yet very quiet. Hundreds of soldiers climbed up the long stairs and searched for the top floor and various rooms.

After ten minutes.

"Report to the general, there is no one inside."

There were still endless battles and artillery fire in the city, but the leading generals in the center were calm.

"Did they escape..." One of them said so, his voice full of puzzlement.

"Maybe, but now, we will become the supreme commanders of this country and city." The old general said so.

"Give orders to the soldiers, shrink the line of defense, and prepare to surrender."

He walked out of the dark tower slowly, looking at the gray sky full of gunpowder smoke, his voice was full of exhaustion and loss.

"Yes, General."

After hearing this, the soldiers below breathed a sigh of relief, and this scene made the other generals sigh slightly, and then waved their hands for others to do the same.

"Give the children a way out."

Under the sky filled with war, these generals sat on the benches outside the high tower, looking at the dusty flowers and grass in front of them, their appearance and demeanor suddenly became much older, and their figures stretched long behind the benches. And vague, slowly welcoming the arrival of the last moment.

Chapter 180: The Gradually Quiet City

After losing the blocking and protection of the city wall, the defenders in the city became precarious.

The early flintlock guns were not fast to reload, and if there is no good discipline to maintain the front, sporadic shooting is not very deterrent.In the subsequent street battles, Clancia's army advanced all the way, rushing up the city wall, occupying various key points on the city wall, and then overlooking the interior of the city, advancing towards the center step by step.

"Go, idiot."

A defender dropped his musket and tugged at his comrade, hoping that the comrade would leave with him, but this former comrade seemed to have lost his hearing under the artillery fire, and kept repeating the action of loading and shooting like a bewilderment. Fire one bullet at an unknown place.

Just as the two were struggling, a group of warriors holding steel shields had already charged up the city wall.Bullets tinkled on the shields, but they kept going.

Many defenders saw that the troops rushing up like a tide couldn't bear the collapse of morale and had nowhere to escape, so they dropped their muskets and weapons and surrendered.

On the clock tower and high-rise buildings in the city, many mages threw themselves to resist. They manipulated the golem and the bursting flames to attack all the enemies close to them.

"Leave that golem alone, aim at that mage."

The officer below commanded, and then the black magic crystal guns were raised high and aimed at them.

"Fire!" A short burst of fire lit up, and then bursts of blood sprayed from the mage's body, fell down from the tall building, and hit the ground, forming a pool of dark red blood.

Since defeating the Frost United several times, Clancia has also seized many intact magic crystal guns. After two months of training, these soldiers can also use them well.

War is a process of rapid learning, and after several battles with the Frost United, Crancia gradually has a lot of musketeers. They even have higher combat efficiency than the enemy, and they are more disciplined and determined.

The muskets of both sides fired on the streets, and the smog enveloped the city. There were shattered glass, wood, walls, etc. everywhere, and the ground was almost covered with dust and gravel.

After a burst of firefights, soldiers in neat boots stepped on the stone brick floor and moved towards the clock tower in the middle, which is the center of Mozwa.

The shape of the entire city is like a dial, and there are twelve towers at the twelve o'clock directions. They are the twelve universities in Luerna in the early days. Although some of them declined and merged later, only eight remained, but these eight universities It also represents the eight largest factions and fields of mages in the country.

The inscribed tower in the center is located in the center of the 'dial', which is the place for office and meetings on weekdays.

--------

After the army in front entered the city, Lorraine Hill also rode a horse and slowly approached this magnificent city.Gray stone bricks can be seen on the mottled walls, as well as a little moss and water marks in the gaps.

The country of Lurna was not powerful in the distant past, but a small kingdom by the sea. After the destruction of the country of Oz, many mages migrated westward and settled here.They built their own mage towers, alchemy workshops, etc., began to recruit apprentices or students, and then gradually became stronger.

Until hundreds of years ago, the twelve factions with the largest number of people and the strongest power united to restructure the power order of this country and chose Mozwa as its capital.

It is also for this reason that the capital of this country is designed to be very cutting-edge and has a sense of beauty appreciated by mages. It is regular and neat. The outer city wall can also be regarded as a circle divided by 36 edges. There are also several layers of intersecting city walls inside. The city is neatly divided into areas for easy management and planning.Surrounding the central Inscribed Tower are twelve great universities.

"Your Highness, there is a situation ahead to report to you."

After entering the city, Lorraine Hill was about to wait on the city wall when a soldier rushed over on horseback.
