Wizard From Afar

By the time Karl Colin came back to his senses, the battle was over.

Feeling the still aching wound, Hunter Fiend struggled to get up from the broken porch, still looking around in a trance.

After beheading the last Corruptor that crawled out, the gray pupil quietly put away the two daggers and watched all around vigilantly; the alchemists and dwarven engineers in the horn castle They also stepped out one after another to renovate the Floating Void City that had just completed the "first voyage".

Among the ruins of the Palace of Kings, there is a dead silence.

In the dim light, Karl Colin skillfully took out the bandage to wrap up the wound, but his dazzling gaze stayed on the recruit’s corpse; those eyes that had been closed by him...the bottom of my heart seemed to be faint. Looking forward to it will open.

It’s really... I’ve found so much trouble for myself, and I’m so annoying from the very beginning; obviously...

slightly startled, looking back at Fiend subconsciously, I see The black hair wizard is standing behind him, with the right hand on his shoulder.

"Duke, I..."

Perceiving the other's embarrassing expression, Loren waved his hand to interrupt him.

"This is my fault." The black hair wizard calmly opened the mouth and said: "It should have been guessed a long time ago...No, it should be from the very beginning'Black Cross' Serio Don’t just put the target on a small Silverhelm Mountain; he can corrupt the leader of the Centaur tribe, and he can do the same to the dwarves."

"If you don’t make a decisive decision, the most dangerous If you don’t stop him in the palace of the kings, it won’t be so easy to win this battle."

"...Yes." Hunting Fiend really doesn’t know what to do. Reply.

He just stared at the recruit's face blankly, clenched his right hand expressionlessly, and didn't even notice his nails when he tore his palm.

"You played very tenaciously, which was beyond my expectation... To be honest, I can do it better by myself."

"...Yes. "

Every time the black hair wizard said, he tried harder to hunt Fiend right hand.

"Master Loren, all the corroding demons have been wiped out."

The vigilant Lu Sien walked over and wiped the sharp blade in his hand: "All tunnel entrances are It has been blocked by the ruins-at least for a short time, those monster impossible will crawl out again."

"In addition, all the exits, stairs and passages of the Palace of Kings have also been completely blocked; With the current manpower in the Horn Fort, it will take at least two days to clean up."

"Don't worry, we don't need to go to the main entrance." Loren turned his head and turned to the Horn Fort Nunu mouth behind him: "At most Two quarters of an hour, we can fly out directly."

"Then, we will go and draw a rest for the civil war that has lasted for three years!"

looked Isaac, who is yelling towards the horn fort, shows off one's military strength, the gray pupil is nodded, and his expression is quite suspicious.

"Wait a minute!"

The dazed Carl Colin stood up suddenly with an expression of "thinking that I heard it wrong": "You are going to end this civil war ??!"

Black hair wizard and Lucien looked at each other in blank dismay, and then looked at him strangely: "Uh...what's the matter?"

"Now?! "

"...now."

"Immediately?!"

"...immediately."

"To stop the rebellion The army attacked the city, and at the same time persuaded the current Supreme King to be surrendered. The former ceremonial officer Igor told him to give up his resistance?!"

"Well... basically in this order."

" ......"

Looking at the black hair wizard and Lucien in front of him, Karl Colin couldn't say a word, completely stunned.

I thought that the recruit who always likes to believe oneself infallible is crazy enough, but reality always gives him a new "surprise".

"You seem to have a misunderstanding."

Lightly coughed, Loren interrupted Hunter Fiend, who seemed to want to continue to ask: "I won’t explain if I know the details. , In a nutshell...cough cough, I am not alone."

A sneak peek at the Floating Void City behind, Karl Colin’s expression remained unchanged.

Although it was the first time he saw this Floating Void City, he didn’t feel that this "building" the size of a Knight fortress could hide enough to defeat Cloud Peak City. An army of thousands of dwarves.

"One more hint-how did I come?" Loren asked patiently.

"Uh...flew over?"

"From the border of Byrne to Yun Peak, at least twelve city-state fortresses of the Yunling Kingdom have to be passed-among them 2/3/The altitude in 2021 is more than a hundred meters. It is fully capable of shooting Floating Void City down with various projection weapons."

"So you think, how did we get permission from the Supreme King? Under the premise, they passed in front of them swayingly..." Loren chuckled softly, and said in a good manner:

"In the end, I will be safe and unharmed and appear in front of you unharmed?"

Hunting Fiend tightly frowned, watching the look of expectation on the black hair wizard, his eyelids kept twitching.

If the real culprit behind the entire civil war is the Supreme King, and without any orders, the entire dwarf fortress in the north of the Yunling Kingdom will let Byrne's Floating Void City pass by?

Wait, wait a minute, is it possible that ......

"Yeah." The black hair wizard gave him a meaningful look:

"I feel You will soon understand."

………………………………

The flames of war in the sky are gradually burned out, but the battle in Yun Peak city has always been There is no sign of termination.

The battles of the institutional system have gradually decreased, but the small-scale fighting has never stopped; on the one hand, the influx of the rebels into the city has completely turned into a dish of scattered sand, and even each other is constantly erupting.

The dwarves under the half-Feudal System degree are relatively independent of each other. The contradiction between each other is no less than the hatred of the Supreme King; they can maintain a little restraint when they have a common goal; until the city is defended After the breach, nothing can suppress them anymore.

The Palace of Kings was destroyed, and the life and death of the "real" Supreme King was unknown. The dwarf warriors from more than a dozen city-states completely lost their goals and became the last straw that overwhelmed the camel.

Peak, the cloud shrouded in black smoke, and the roaring rebel warriors from the cracked corners of their mouths, are still constantly attacking the barricades that have long been on the verge of collapse; lone army The fighting king warriors hid behind shield walls, fences and guard towers, using crossbow arrows and spears to continuously create new corpses.

The endless and long street fights made both sides have long forgotten what they were fighting in the beginning. They only approached themselves in front of the mechanical killing, the enemy holding a weapon in his hand.

Simple guard towers and fences have no meaning at all in front of the truly organized army; but in the narrow streets, they have become real "flesh mills"-even if a dozen dwarves combine It's not a warrior. As long as there are heavy crossbows, spears, and shields around, they can defend themselves and block the army several times.

From dozens of dwarf city-states, tens of thousands of armies launched the most tragic battle around these simple barricades.

On the other hand, even though Yun Peak's entire force has been concentrated, it has to constantly maneuver and suppress the corroding demons emerging from the underground tunnel. The dwarf Igor's forces are already stretched.

In the face of the rebels who are several times stronger than themselves and are scattered throughout the city of Yun Peak, the Supreme King who has just been crowned for less than half a day, there is really no extra force to launch a counterattack and fight the rebels. Driven out of the city.

even more how, what he is now facing is not only the problem of insufficient strength, but also the news that "the former supreme king is still alive, Igor, the prince's usurpation of power and rebellion", has scattered into the city. The rebels spread, and even the legal principles of his crowning and successor to the Supreme King began to waver!

In such a situation, don’t say "recruiting and accepting rebels", the dwarf Igor even began to gradually lose control of his army, and can only rely on the authority of the past and the constantly emerging enemies to let them continue. Obey your orders.

He even thought about what had fallen from the sky before, and turned the Palace of Kings into ruins-because he really didn't have that energy!

In a sense, Igor now hopes that the High King has been crushed to pieces under the ruins, lest he suddenly emerge and seize power by himself.

Of course, this kind of inhumane words, he will never say...

Looking at the palace of the kings in the distance, the dwarf Igor’s Cheek twitched a few times, coldly snorted, and turned his gaze to the battlefield in front of him again.

"How is the battle? Is the situation getting better?"

"Still at a stalemate." The dwarf guard Captain on the side looked solemn, facing the increasingly ugly face of Igo. You shook the head:

"We have too few troops, and we have to separate out a third to encircle and suppress the monsters that emerge from the tunnel. There is simply not enough troops to counterattack."

"Even Yun Peak can persist until now and has not completely fallen, because the enemy was blocked by barricades, unable to gather enough troops..."

Wei Captain did not continue, but Igor already knew He meant it.

Yes, when the city gate is breached, they have already lost the right to choose, and they can only continue to stand in stalemate, and there is no second way to choose.

If he wins, he is a righteous supreme king; if he loses, he usurped power and bullied him, betraying the traditional traitor of Yunling.

The Palace of Kings turned into ruins, on the one hand, the offensive of the rebels was completely disintegrated and plunged into chaos; at the same time, Igor also lost the fortress where Igor could finally defend and store a large amount of supplies.

Now he and the traitors from the south, like two reptiles, are locked in this cage called "Cloud Peak" to kill each other, shed all the blood; only the last The one who can struggle on whilst at death's door can leave alive and get everything from the dead reptile.

Igor pressed the corners of his mouth tightly and growled unwillingly.

"Let the warriors rest." Igor twitched his throat: "A quarter of an hour later, we will organize another counterattack..."

At this time, I have already fallen. Suddenly there was a loud noise in the direction of the city gate!

"Boom——————!!!"

Almost at the same time, Igor and Wei Captain looked up at the same time. At the end of their sight, a black smoke rose from the city gate. From afar, you can still see the top of the city. Several ignited warriors screamed and fell down the city wall.

"Your Majesty, that seems to be..."

"It's a heavy projectile weapon, someone is attacking the city!" Igor immediately reacted, a hint of surprise flashed from the corner of his eyes:

"The defenders of the city gate and the outer line of defense have long been withdrawn, and they will not be ours; so either these traitors are fighting together, or it must be..."

"The reinforcements of the northern city-states, they came to help us?!"

"Order immediately, the whole army must be assembled!" Without any hesitation, Igor pulled out the mithril on his waist. Tomahawk, ordered in a deep voice:

"It is now, this is the moment, the time to counterattack is here!"

"Follow the order!"

As the voice fell, the dwarf warriors who were distracted from the guard began to gather quickly and lined up in a neat line; and as the bugle was blown, the warriors who stood by the barricade in the distance also rushed toward this side.

Almost just in the blink of an eye, nearly a thousand warriors have gathered behind him and consciously formed an offensive formation under the leadership of Captain.

Igor, clenching his teeth, turned around and solemnly looked towards the eyes of the warriors under his command:

"The people of Yunling, the loyal warriors-follow I'll come!"

"To regain our wealth, our city, our country!"

"Those rebellious messes--"

"Kill a clean——!!!"

The bloodthirsty shout, in response to Igor's roar.

"Loyal warriors, follow me..."

Before he finished speaking, he was suddenly stopped by a hand beside him, forcibly blocking his vision.

The angry Igor turned his head abruptly, but saw a shocked guard with a motionless expression of Captain, and a slightly trembling right hand pointing in the direction of the city gate.

Igor cast his gaze on the city gate, his slightly squinted eyes shrank, and he couldn't help holding his breath.

That is the tide, it is the ocean.

It is like the black sea water at high tide, swept from the cloud Peak city gate, densely packed, like an ant moving and swallowing the entire city gate defense line in the blink of an eye.

Unstoppable!

Until this time, the seriousness on Igor's face turned into ecstasy-yes, at this moment in the battle, the rebels could not afford to organize such a large-scale attack, let alone ignore it. All the defensive lines of the city gate were captured, and waves of craziness poured into the city from outside the city.

It must be reinforcements from the north, it must be! Only this answer is consistent with common sense. Otherwise, in the land of the Yunling Kingdom, there is basically an impossible second army of this size and strong enough to directly attack Yun Peak!

But when Igor turned his head, he found that his guard Captain still looked astonished, and the raised right hand was still pointing straight forward.

Igor, who was hesitant, looked in the direction Wei Captain pointed; what he saw was a dwarf messenger standing on the city gate, holding the battle flag high in his hand.

It was a traditional Yunling Kingdom battle flag, fluttering in the wind, with the coat of arms of the corresponding dwarf city-state painted on it, representing the name of whose army this army is fighting.

The flag painted with the coat of arms of the city...

That flag...

Why is the coat of arms of Silverhelm Mountain painted on it? !
