Wizard From Afar

The battle ended in the evening, and Sicotus and his elven warriors did not even hold on to the night.

After quickly defeating the Azores on the front battlefield, with the Knights as the vanguard, Byrne Legion collectively turned around and marched forcibly, rushing into the "path battlefield" at the other end of the Alman Legion.

It turns out that Shera did not lie—the 60,000 fully armed elf warrior moved from the small radial to the direction of Ancient Wood Town in accordance with the "Order of His Royal Highness Sicotus".

Despite the order, the somewhat confused elven warriors maintained their minimum vigilance; the 60,000 army maintained a tight and orderly marching queue, with outposts and two-winged guards. The central government protects a large number of luggage. Until the entire army evacuates, there are defenders in the camp to maintain vigilance and final finishing work.

Then they were ambushed by Elman Legion.

Thirty thousand Elman Legion launched a raid from both sides of the trail without warning. The wizard warriors who lost their commander reproduced the previous encounter with Warrior Shera, the second seat of the Royal Court.

Stunned, rebelled, surrounded, collapsed...nothing has changed.

They tried to break through the direction of the fortress camp, and Yuli Wiertz did not pursue the rout enemy, lest the enemy notice that his troops are scarce, only half of them; the elves who were dispersed The warrior rushed back and forth in the trail, while retreating to the camp, while fighting on the Hundred Men Squad and even smaller scales, put up a desperate struggle.

Until Three Thousand Byrne Knight and Legion joined the battle, the chaotic battle situation and the overwhelming Knight charge, crushed the last bit of resistance of the elves warriors.

The retreat became a retreat. The elven warriors who no longer put up a desperate struggle flocked to the gate of the fortress camp desperately, and were pushed down by the robes in batches and fell into the thorns. In the trench, the warriors in the back row forcibly stepped through the filled trench, and rushed under the gate in the pursuit of the two-handed Swordsman by Byrne Knight and Alman.

Then they saw the closed door, and the double sword blood cross erected on the door.

Lines of Lothar longbow archers stepped on the bones of the elf warrior, standing on every corner of the parapet; they almost fought to break the longbow towards Azov outside the gate. The elves tilted the arrow rain.

The wizard warriors are finally desperate.

They didn't even try to escape, because there was nowhere to escape; they didn't try to surrender either, because they slaughtered Deep Limburg, they knew exactly what was going to be waiting for them.

The stalemate battle lasted until the evening. The little wizard, who tried everything possible, brought a lightsaber, ten torsion ballistas and three carriage fire oil tanks to the battlefield.

First, the Jiao lightsaber cleared the road, sweeping the trees on both sides with beams of light to create a barrier; then, the elven warriors crowded together under the city gate dropped burning fire oil cans; finally, the Jiao lightsaber uninterrupted Shooting.

In this way, Ayn Rand burned all the wizard warriors alive without setting the entire Wimpal area on fire... and taught everyone on the scene how to deal with hiding in the forest. The enemy inside.

Especially the warriors of Elman and Lothar who are good at forest wars...the fire sea that sent tens of thousands of Azores into hell, so that they will always remember for the rest of their lives Still new.

…………………………

The fire is raging, and the dome is dyed into bright scarlet.

The heavy smoke that swept through most of the battlefield made it extremely difficult to count the casualties and clean up the battlefield after the war, so that it lasted until the early morning of the 2nd day, and the cavalry chased the deserters all the way towards Deep Limburg. Shan returns.

In a battle, more than 30,000 enemies were annihilated on the frontal battlefield. The subsequent pursuit and the defeated soldiers cannot be counted, but it will not be less than 50,000.

Because none of the three Duchy's armies received any captives who surrendered, and there were no silhouettes of any fleeing enemies around the battlefield, even if the number of deserters was as exaggerated as possible, it could only be this number. .

In this way, with only one battle, Lotaire, the Azorean elves in the direction of the ancient wood forest, was devastated. Except for the few enemies stationed in the Deep Forest and the Fogmoon Court, The Azores have lost all their power in this area.

It can be said that in the future, Lothar will only need to rectify the army step by step, all the way north, regain all lost ground and even merge the ancient wood forest into the territory-if they really want it-it is only a matter of time, no There is the probability of fall in the sewer.

The results are rich, but the losses and casualties are equally heavy.

In order to do it quickly, this "Wimpal War" is almost at the level of resistance to the invasion of monsters...at all costs, as far as possible to defeat and annihilate the enemy's new force.

The first to bear the brunt was the Byrne phalanx Legion and Alman's Swordsman with both hands. One almost received the ogre's frontal impact, and then was strangled by the wizard warrior; the other only relied on half of the force. "Encircled" more than twice as many enemies, until Byrne Legion annihilated the front enemy and joined the battle.

Follow closely from behind, it will always be the shooting army-this newly established Legion has only fought two battles until now, but its fatality rate is the same as that of the confronting army, killing the enemy and suicide. The efficiency is very high.

Nevertheless, Loren is reluctant to give up its powerful output capability. As the commander of the shooting army, Karl Colin said directly that before the last row of shooters in the dead light, shoot The army will not withdraw from the battle sequence of Byrne Legion.

For this fate-determining war, all the forces of the empire have completed the maximum mobilization; Lothar, who has already had a strength and great injury, is for the time being, whether Aleman or Byrne, the elite soldier in Legion Everyone died and one was missing, and it was almost impossible to make up for them.

The expedition of tens of thousands of troops demonstrated their great strength, while also squeezing out all the background and potential of a Duchy.

The wizard and alchemist who manipulated the lightsaber on the back line changed four shifts, all of them were exhausted; the three Duchy crossbowmen almost shot all the arrows that could kill the enemy twenty times with After all the fuel that was brought in plus the inventory of Eagle Hunter, the damaged weapons can be replaced by the rest of the group...

Although strictly speaking, the Empire and Eboden have truly entered a comprehensive The state of war was just a few months ago; but the materials consumed from the Eboden battle to the present are rapidly draining the wealth of the empire; on the surface, the Sackland Empire, which seems to have the upper hand at the moment, is actually not far from the mountains and rivers. , And did not have the strength to patiently wear down with the enemy.

Either victory or destruction... This is the same for both sides.

With a slightly heavy and slightly complicated mood, the black hair wizard, accompanied by Ulrich Wiertz, walked in the direction of Wimpal Academy.

Burning trenches, broken fences, bones everywhere, and the mud under the bones... If it weren't for the Wimpal castle in the distance, Loren wouldn't even recognize it as the town outside the Academy.

"I have ordered people to tidy up and clean as much as possible, but... there is almost nothing left." Yuli Wiertz's expression was very tired, and the only silver-gray pupils were bloodshot. The eyes are dark:

"The civilians around the town, the wizards and the wizard apprentices in the town...There is nothing, except the castle, nothing is left."

"As for the Academy...just a little bit of cleaning, the library, material warehouse and laboratory are well preserved by the Azorean elves, and there is almost no loss; as for the Dean of Wimpal, Peter Master..."

The Grand Duke Elman's words suddenly uttered, and there seems to be some unspeakable reason: "I told them not to make claims, you should go and see for yourself."

black hair wizard nodded: "Many thanks."

"It's nothing, similar things...everyone is in the same mood." Yuli Wirtz shook his head and noticed that a silhouette was suddenly missing next to him:

p>

"Where is Ain Rand?"

"With Liya." Loren replied, "The battle on the trail gave her too much excitement, so...you need a friend to enlighten her. The two of them were waiting for us outside the Academy city gate."

Grand Duke Elman was slightly nodded, a glint flashed in his eyes.

The murderer who killed his family, the emptiness after revenge... Yuli Wiertz has not experienced how heavy the impact of this kind of ups and downs on people, so he has some understanding of the little wizard. .

"Speaking of this, there is a guy who has been waiting for you." Grand Duke Almang, with his usual face, turned on his face: "Securia Royal Court, I will have her hand her over to Lucien , And then your hunter Fiend will take care of it."

"I dug up a lot of useful information from her, and my instinct told me that she knew more than that—if my judgment No mistakes, she is not only the second seat of the Royal Court, Rodria Azores's confidant, she may know more than we thought."

"But she is also very cunning, it seems I'm pretty sure I won't kill her, no matter how intimidating or enticing it is, I won't speak anymore; the information I told me before was probably just a bait to make me dare not kill her easily."

Loren is no surprise at this point... when he was in Eboden, he had seen how cunning this "cute elf girl" was.

"By the way, is the transfer location safe? Is it possible for her to have a chance to escape?"

"I'm not sure, after all, elves almost use magic." Grand Duke Almans shook his head and whispered in a very plain tone: "But I cut off her limbs, took her saber, and asked the soldiers to dig out her if necessary. Eyes and tongue, plus the care of the wizard and Fiend hunter...If she can escape like this, then I can only say that there is nothing I can do."

"..."Loren Torino.

During the conversation, the two have already arrived in front of Wimpal Academy; the female elf Liya and the little wizard are standing outside the door, and it seems that they have been waiting for a while.

After the two parties met, they looked at each other, and the female elf was very cooperative and left with Grand Duke Elman. Only the black hair wizard and the small wizard were left in front of the Academy gate.

The little wizard's expression is a bit low and lonely; there is a trace of panic and anxiety in his eyes...not for others, but for himself.

It was exactly the same as when she rebelled against her family for the first time.

"Are you ready?"

"Ah!" The little wizard woke up and suddenly looked towards the eyes that were staring at him. After a while, I firmly nodded:

"I'm ready."

Loren smiled and snorted lightly, and the hands of the two people pressed together on a door:

"Let us go and visit Dean Peter again."

The voice fell, and the black hair wizard and the little wizard walked into the Academy at the same time.

Courtyards, towers, promenades, halls...Familiar pictures and scenery are reflected in the eyes of the two one after another. The two strolling through them seem to have fallen into a dream, but everything around is Extremely real.

When they woke up from the dream, the two were already standing in front of the small sect hall.

With a certain unspeakable mood, the two of them opened the locked door of the small sect hall without saying a word, and then gently pushed it open.

The main hall of the church is quiet, and the statue of the Holy Cross placed up ahead is cold and solemn, which makes one cannot help but worship.

Obviously, after Loren left, Dean Peter repaired this place again. Judging from the dust and turbid air in the corner, it should have been a long time since the repairs.

As for the footprints on the ground, obviously passive chairs and doorknobs... Judging from the size, it should be the female elf named Shera.

She probably got information about Peter from Middle-the second seat of the previous imperial court, the folding shadow sword killed by Loren in Wuyueting-so she kept it as it is. Hope it can be used someday?

Under the sculpture of the Holy Cross, there is a thin silhouette sitting cross-legged-he is wearing a slightly large blue wizard robe, his hair is completely gray, and his exposed arms are like withered rot, almost invisible. To bloody.

The moment I stepped into the door, the black hair wizard complexion slightly changed and immediately restored to its original state.

"Peter... Dean..."

The dazed little wizard whispered, and instinctively walked towards the familiar back; her footsteps were a little staggered, some Anxious and a little scared, as if he had guessed something but couldn't believe it, step by step approached.

"pa."

The little white hands pressed the old man’s shoulders, and some of the little wizard cautiously bent down and looked towards the old man’s face; when the blue pupils and the old man’s face The moment his eyes met, Ai Yin was stunned and sat on the ground staggeringly.

Dan Wimpal...Dalton Kander's mentor Peter... has passed away.

And a long, long time has passed...Loren couldn't even feel the void response of the little bit from his body.

The gray-faced old man seemed to retain the peace of the last moment before his death.

As for why Dean Peter came to this small sect hall at the last moment of his life... faintly, as if he had guessed something, the black hair wizard turned his eyes to the holy cross sculpture in front of him, and raised right The hand touches it lightly.

"pa!"

A soft sound opened the mechanism on the Holy Cross sculpture.

A letter fell into his hands.
