She touched her face with her hands, and her fingertips were stained with a somewhat warm, magical liquid.

"It turned out that she just wanted to cry..."

The consciousness belonging to Tina gradually faded until it disappeared completely.

She rolled up her sleeves, and the abnormal state of her arm was slowly dissipating. The accumulated magic power left her body with the tears, but it did not dissipate completely. It was attracted to a certain direction.

Ella noticed a wave of magic power, and part of the magic power belonging to Tina seemed to condense on a certain item, and the water droplets containing magic power condensed on the petals, turning into some kind of round crystals.

Ella touched the hair ornament with her fingers, and the information contained in it flooded her brain. This hair ornament made of dried flower petals and ordinary materials has become a magical prop.

Hair accessories can create temporary avatars that resist mental damage or contamination of consciousness.But this also has certain side effects. Repeatedly creating multiple virtual personalities will gradually affect the main personality and drive people into madness.

Therefore, after each use of hair accessories, its owner had better find a psychiatrist to give himself a comprehensive treatment.

Ella couldn't help but smile. This was really a hair accessory very similar to its original owner. She named it - Tina's flower accessory.

After explaining the uses and side effects, Ella handed it to Lily Bell.

"Lily, your inspiration is much higher than that of ordinary people, and you are easily polluted. Tina's flower decoration is a very suitable alchemy tool for you. If you can continue to use your inspiration, it should be of great help to the next form."

Lily took the floral ornament and looked Ella in the eyes.

"What do I have to pay? I can't accept such a valuable item for nothing."

In Lily's view, Tina's flower decoration is almost a proof of the girl's existence, a product of the condensed soul, and this value makes it difficult for her to measure.

Ella thought for a while, and found that in the wizarding world other than Kraft, there were actually alchemy props in circulation, and props like this that could avoid contamination and had less serious side effects could generally be sold for a good price.

Taking into account the purchasing power of the platinum coin Luko, Ella finally set a number that she thought was reasonable.

"Two thousand and five hundred rubles. The battles that follow may use a lot of magic materials. I will give you a list. Just purchase materials worth twenty five hundred rubles in Winter City and give them to me."

Ashley's eyelids twitched, this was not a small number, it was enough to equip a well-equipped centurion when converted into armor and weapons.

"In a special period, maybe we can temporarily requisition materials. After all, if the city is breached, there will be no survivors."

Lily shook her head and explained:

"The more it is at this time, the more we must ensure the stability of the market, otherwise it will easily cause chaos."

"—Well said, she is indeed my daughter."

Earl Mitland Bell did not know when he appeared near the campfire. It has not been an hour at most since he fell asleep. He moved his somewhat stiff neck and limbs, and his bones made a crisp sound.

"Slept well...Okay, the wizard over there should quickly make a list, and leave the purchasing task to Lily."

Ella nodded and waved her fingers, and banknotes flew out of the satchel, and wrote the text by herself:

The magical materials of the sun and flame fields, mercury, parchment, sulfur, gold leaf and crystal powder, meteorite fragments weighing more than one hundred grams.

Lily took the paper, glanced at it roughly, and ordered a few guards to leave the city wall quickly.

At this time, it was already dawn, and the count took a few steps forward and sat casually near the campfire.

"Chevalier, I think even with this little girl's magic, it will be difficult for us to survive until the next dawn."

"Insufficient manpower, our army is too small."

Ashley looked at the earl and asked:

"What are your plans? Are you recruiting civilians?"

Earl Bell grinned, showing his white teeth. This expression reminded Ella of Fred Mephisto.

"No, we actually have better combat power than civilians."

With Ashley's puzzled look on his face, Earl Bell pointed to a building with a special style in the city. It had no resemblance to the exquisite buildings common in the Land of Snow, and looked depressing and terrifying.

—It is a prison cell.

"Slaves and criminals."

Ashley's expression changed suddenly and she stood up suddenly!

"what did you say?"

The earl looked as usual, and continued:

"Those savages of the plateau... they are born for war, and need little training beyond discipline. Give them the bare minimum of weapons, and we'll have hundreds more strong warriors. There are also those villains who have no energy to use, as long as they are allowed to be free, most of them can make them work hard."

"How sure are you...?"

Indeed, as the earl said, this is a powerful combat power that cannot be ignored. It is so against the enemy... and it is the same for Winter City.Hundreds of savages and criminals run out of control in the city, easily wreaking havoc.

"Thirty percent. If we hold on to the next battle and get the monster's body, then my certainty may increase to [-]%."

"I don't need the monster's corpse, I can find a way to let them sit in the prison and watch the battle."

Ella interrupted the earl.

"No, we still need it! But in this way, my certainty has reached [-]%."

This is a very good number.

Chapter 42 Defense

The guards moved two heavy boxes in front of Ella. Except in Kraft's classroom, it was the first time she saw so many magic materials.

It took Lily Bell just over an hour to bring back the materials. Earl Winter should have an exclusive channel in the city, but even so, it was considered fast.

It's already half daylight, and the night is slowly receding.

There is no sign of monsters attacking yet. The defenders are preparing breakfast. The food is porridge made by adding wheat and goat's milk to a large pot of water.

The taste is honestly indescribable due to the lack of seasoning.Because of the cold weather, they quickly solidified into lumpy unknown objects that were fishy, ​​cold, and nauseating.

Ella is making spells or old seals as soon as possible in the castle. The quality of them is low due to rush work, but quantity is the most important thing now.

Ella just repeatedly draws graphics, inputs magic power, drinks magic potion, and then continues the endless loop of drawing graphics.

When the sky was completely bright, she had already prepared fifty old "Deep Sea" seals and nearly a hundred spells that could summon flames.

During this period, she gave Lily the second rune, which was her most proficient, the "Konaz" that called fire.With the help of a magic apprentice, the time to draw the spell was greatly shortened.

Leaning tiredly on the wooden chair in the room, she pushed out the bundles of parchment.Ella felt the dizziness caused by the lack of magic power. Even with the magic potion to speed up recovery, her magic power was almost exhausted.

Without the Eye of Hermes, her magic power is very limited, and according to the earl's request, there is still room for using a certain magic.

In a war of this scale, the role a single magician can play is limited. Even if she uses high-level spells, the targets she can kill are only within a certain area.

"Distribute the scrolls. The silver runes only need to be attached to the body to trigger them at critical moments. The gold runes need to be chanted with auxiliary syllables when using them."

A sergeant bowed and saluted, then held up the scroll in the tray.

Ella scooped up lumps of porridge in the bowl with a wooden spoon, put it into her mouth and frowned slightly, but she still chewed and swallowed calmly.

The magic power she has left is only enough for self-protection and a few uses at most. If she wants to play a bigger role in the war, she can only pray to "Yafum" again.

It seems that because of the separation from the shadow, or because of the special environment of the Snow Country, Ella's instincts prevented her from using that ritual several times before, and her spiritual intuition told her that it would be different from the outside world.Ella wasn't going to try until the last minute.

The wooden bowl in Lily's hand suddenly fell to the ground, her gaze became blank, and she entered inspiration again.

"Here they come."

Due to frequent inspiration and glimpses of filthy monsters, black impurities appeared in Lily's eyes.

At this moment, Tina's flower decoration was activated, and Lily Bell's expression instantly became hollow and cold, emotionless, like a puppet.

The transparent figure with exactly the same appearance as her left her body, quickly appeared a layer of rust color and disappeared completely.

She's completely out of the inspired state, and doesn't suffer from any bad effects.The avatar created by Tina's curlicue bears all the pollution of inspiration.

This happened within a few seconds. Lily quickly left the castle, rushed up to the sentry tower and slammed the alarm bell!

when!when!

The piercing sound of metal collisions resounded throughout the city wall, and the defenders quickly adjusted their status, or hurriedly swallowed the last bite of food, and quickly returned to their posts.

More than a dozen iron-black cannons were aimed at the city wall, and archers and heavily armed soldiers gathered behind the hillside's refusal.

There was a dead silence on the city wall, and the sound of breathing could hardly be heard.

A moment later, something appeared on the endless snowfield.At first it was just a black shadow, but it quickly expanded into a lavender tide!

Those are thousands of huge cold spiders, they just appeared on the snowy field out of nowhere, using their eight jointed limbs to paddle quickly on the ground, galloping at a faster speed, but they didn't raise any snow dust!

In just a few dozen breaths, they rushed to the city!

"fire!"

At the moment when the spider swarm entered the optimal shooting range, the count's rough roar sounded on the city wall. It seemed that it was not a traditional artillery, but inspired by ores containing magic power.The soldier embedded the dark blue ore into the metal slot, and then another soldier wearing heavy armor and holding a metal hammer suddenly hammered it down!

The ore burst instantly, violent magic fluctuations spread, and a beam of light was thrown out from the muzzle, forming a violent explosion on the ground outside the city!

The warriors holding the hammer took a step back in shock, their faces flushed, and some even had blood oozing from their mouths.The soldiers responsible for filling quickly embedded the next ore, gritted their teeth, and hammered it down again.

Gaps appeared in the dense spider group, mutilated limbs and disgusting body fluids burst out, and they were frozen or scorched by the energy contained in the beam of light in midair.

But that was only the scene that appeared in the center of the light beam, the edge of the energy streaked across the monster's carapace and deviated, leaving only inconspicuous scorched marks!

The subsequent spider swarm quickly filled the gap ahead, and their momentum was not affected at all. The monsters that broke through the light rain had already approached the city wall!

Among them, several of the largest cold spiders used their hind limbs to stand upright with their heavy bodies. Spider silk as thick as an adult's arm shot out instantly, clinging to the city wall and building an intertwined bridge in mid-air.

A few warriors on the city wall were completely penetrated by spider silk, and their flesh, flesh and internal organs burst out immediately, and they didn't even have time to scream.

The guards pushed the huge iron pan and poured hot oil down, and the cobwebs condensed by a special cold liquid were burning and melting.But there are still more bridges being rapidly formed, and monsters run up to the city wall along the bridges built by spider webs!

The tide outside the castle branched out into a tributary, and they quickly went up along the steep mountain wall. This kind of terrain couldn't stop the spider swarm's attack at all!

"Charm!"

This was the second order announced by the Earl. Before that, he had triggered three cards for experimentation, and based on this, he formulated a new strategy.The attack and defense at the top of the hillside has always been the most tragic part of the previous battles, and the lack of protective wooden horses with walls is better than nothing.His warriors must form a line of defense with shields and bodies, and fight monsters in close quarters.But whether it's the spider silk sprayed by the cold spider, or their sharp limbs, they are enough to break through the defense of the steel armor.

More than a dozen thick streams of flame burst below the hillside and formed a wall of fire. After being filtered by the wall of fire, the number and speed of the cold spiders dropped to an acceptable level.

The spear sticks out from the gap in the kite shield, and every time it is drawn or pierced, a large amount of green body fluid will be splashed. Under the most difficult wave of attack, the defenders on the hillside suffered only a few casualties!

More and more spider webs stick to the city wall, and the monster climbs the city wall.

A sound of drawing swords resounded through the fortress. It was the five-hundred-step knights led by the Earl himself, and Ashley followed closely behind Mitland.
