Wizard From Afar

The sharp eagle's whistle sounded on the distant sea horizon.

Sharp and bright.

Just a few seconds later, more sounds are like responding to it, one after another, one after another, echoing on the sea one after another, whistling with the icy sea breeze, sweeping towards Eboden The city wall.

The screams are endless, and the shaking is endless.

It is becoming more and more obvious, more and more clear, like a surging forward with great momentum, rolling up and down with disturbing movements.

The eagle's whistle faded away, and a golden light and shadow suddenly jumped out on the horizon line where the sea and the sky meet, under the shining of the blood-red sunset.

Following the second, third, fourth...the appearance of row upon row continuously filled the entire sea horizon.

But when the reflected rays of light dissipated, the true face of the light and shadow was revealed-Bai Fan.

Jie white as snow, rolling and undulating like waves, countless sails, like the sea filled with the sea, come towards Eboden with the sound of stirring the sea.

Unstoppable, even more unstoppable.

"clang! clang clang clang clang............"

The rapid alarm sounded in the city of Eboden, from the farthest coastal lighthouse to every fortress, almost Every signalman was banging the bell in front of him frantically.

The entire Eboden was almost in chaos, and the speed of the enemy’s appearance exceeded everyone’s expectations; many mercenaries and city defense army soldiers were even directly frightened and stood in place. motionless.

Some recruits even cried directly after seeing the number of enemies, and they lost one's head out of fear; the officers desperately urging and cursing the soldiers were also complexion pale one by one, they only knew how to use it. The wooden stick in his hand beat the soldier who collapsed to the ground.

The anxious hunter Fiend had to shoulder the work of the messenger. The aisles and stairs of the city wall and the observation deck of the tower were full of the sound of iron boots hitting bricks and stones. The screams and exclamations of the soldiers who were knocked down.

"Almost a hundred battleships are approaching the port of Eboden with full sails at full speed."

Staring at Nadao in the distance, the "white line" is invisible at all, the city defense The army commander looked pale and squeezed the information he had just sent, and looked towards the people at the map table:

"The size of the battleship is similar to that of the ocean-going fleet-if this is the case, then the enemy's strength may not be lower. One hundred thousand!"

In the Conference Hall, there was silence.

One hundred thousand?

No...No, according to the elf warrior, the number of troops mobilized by the Azores Kingdom this time should be more than one hundred thousand.

On the opposite side is a strong Great Influence that is enough to compete with the imperial mention on equal terms. If it reaches the point of "life and death", at least six times as many troops can be mobilized.

Fumbling for the map, the black hair wizard said silently in my heart.

But it’s a miracle in itself that one hundred thousand people can cross the sea of ​​fog at one time-even if the battleship itself can carry so much, I want to make a hundred battleships sail from one end of the sea side by side. To the other end, it is also difficult.

The commander of the city defense army on the side continued to say: "Several mercenaries in the harbor found a few floating corpses and two imperial flags-they must have ambushed us while the fog was rising at dawn. Patrol boats, so there was no alert!"

"The defenders at the lighthouse are retreating. They have seen the enemy’s boats carrying weapons similar to catapults and ballistas. To judge, the attack distance may not be less than two hundred meters!"

"The defenders outside the ring fortress sent intelligence and asked if they should start preparing for battle immediately, and beware of the enemy's surprise attack!"

p>

"A group of mercenaries from the former poisonous snake mercenary group rebelled in front of the battle. They snatched supplies and tried to flee. They were suppressed in time by Knight by the side and asked for disposal!"

"The enemy has a small ship. The boat passed through the lighthouse and was approaching our port holding a flag. It is suspected that there is a plan to negotiate!"

Now it is not only the leader of the two mercenary groups, but even the commander of Legion, who just had a calm expression. I also looked towards the black hair wizard very anxiously, waiting for the order.

"The Duke!"

Count Eckert said solemnly: "The enemy is attacking, please order!"

The alarm bell is getting louder and stronger Hurry, even the messy footsteps can be heard outside the door of the room.

"According to the pre-war deployment, let the mercenaries withdraw into the city wall; all the city defense army soldiers will immediately enter the temporary position in front of the ring fortress;"

the black looking at the map The hair wizard did not lift his head, but his voice was loud and powerful: "A thousand Legion soldiers, immediately go to the castle to be stationed, and dispatch a few Fiend hunters from the wings of the sky to assist, and beware of the enemy using a small group of elites to steal the city."

"The patrol army is the back line and assists the wizard in the wizard tower to load projectile weapons. Anyone who launches in advance before I give the order, kill without mercy;"

"Two thousand Byrne Knights , With the flags of the Torino family and the empire, stationed at all fortresses and all commanding heights; let everyone—especially those still shaking soldiers and residents of the city—see that the Byrnians and the empire are guarding Eboden, and the city has not fallen yet. "

"Anywhere where I am not, Eckert count is responsible for directing all battles, and everyone must obey." The black hair wizard said as he turned his head and looked towards Corona next to him:

p>

"Corona Master, please take Isaac and all the wizards who are not ready to participate in the battle to take refuge in the nine-pointed star wizard tower until the battle is over or the city wall falls."

"What? You want me to hide?!"

Isaac stared wide-eyed: "What the hell are you talking about, Loren, I'm here to guard Eboden. How do you guard me in the wizard tower? There is still a lot of information that I haven’t told you, such as..."

"You might as well tell me first, Lord Isaac Grantham." Corona calmly stopped Isaac, and even clamored. Let him little by little leave the war room: "Such an important matter should be discussed by the wizards first, and then passed on to Duke Loren."

"Well, it seems reasonable to hear you say that, you deserve it. It’s the leader of the wizard tower...I think you are much cuter than the old man of Haringfan."

"no no no, you overpraised..."

Looking at Isaac Leaving back and forth with the rest of the crowd, the black hair wizard finally relaxed and patted Lu Sien on the shoulder: "Take the flag and go see our enemy together."

"As you bid!" Grey pupil The juvenile was nodded hard.

Fifteen minutes later, the black-bottomed Golden Lion and the three giant dragons raised the flags of the iron crown, and they were erected on the city wall and fortress of Eboden at the same time, hunting and hunting in the cold wind.

After the commanders hurried to the army to which they belonged, the commotion was finally reluctantly suppressed; the soldiers who were scared by the enemy just now lost one's head out of fear began to respond to the orders and calls of the officers. Reorganize order in harmony.

At this moment...

"Is the Duke?!"

"The Duke is coming here?!"

The exclamation sounded one after another on the city wall of Eboden, and a pair of surprised eyes were cast toward the silhouette who was walking down the tall building and approaching the forefront of the defense line along the wall stack.

On the parapet wall, the soldiers standing on both sides of the aisle stared at the silhouette dumbly, and hurried past them.

Black hair black eyes, only wearing a leather armor, wearing a big cloak; against the exaggerated "Dawn" sword, the silhouette looks a little thin.

But when this "skinny" silhouette passed by, all the soldiers who had just lost one's head out of fear quieted down, standing there without daring to pit, watching him pass by.

Lu Sien, who followed closely behind the black hair wizard, and the black-bottomed Golden Lion flag held high in his hand; instantly became the focus of everyone's attention on the city wall.

Under the gaze of the soldiers, they only took Lusien’s black hair wizard down the city wall, passed the iron-clad city gate of the ring fortress, and passed through the Defensive Array. , Towards the harbour of Eboden.

The commander of the Eboden City Defense Force on the high tower was stunned and looked at the silhouette that passed through the city gate and walked out of the city wall, as if shocked, no matter how the guards behind him shouted no response.

The legion commander of the empire stopped in place, his stern face looked extremely complicated; as if he had guessed something, the right hand pressed on the wall stack firmly buckled the gap between the wall tiles .

"Which, this Lord Duke, what on earth does he want to do?"

The Black Blade leader hiding behind the wall was stunned, looking like he didn’t understand: "I said , He doesn’t really plan to negotiate with the elves?"

"Or...he wants to swim over, alone against the entire fleet of elves?!"

"Maybe. ..." Silver Blood frowned, and glanced at the Count Eckert of Fury Castle on the side.

But he was shocked to find that the anger castle count, which had always been steady like a rock, was squinting at the moment, with a proud expression on the corners of his mouth.

"Gentlemen, you should be honored." Eckert's thick voice sounded: "Because of this war, you will have a chance to see Lord Byrne, Lord Torino..."

p>

"How did you lead the army!"

The voice fell, Eckert stopped talking, and watched Loren Torino's fading back with everyone on the city wall.

At this time, the black hair wizard and Lucien have passed through the Defensive Array of the up ahead of the ring fortress; everyone can see his silhouette on and off the entire Eboden line.

There is also the black-bottomed Golden Lion flag floating in the sea breeze and hunting.

The alarm bell is diminishing, and the screams of exclamation and confusion gradually disappear; up and down the city wall of Eboden Port, only the sound of the sea breeze can be heard.

"Do you really want to negotiate with them?"

The tense Lucien looked at the boat approaching the port in the distance: "I think this is probably the enemy Let us relax our vigilance and take the opportunity to attack the trap of the city."

"Of course this is a trap, so I am not going to talk about it." After a light sigh, the black hair wizard twitched the corner of his mouth: "But for It is still necessary to defend Eboden."

"Now the main force of Eboden’s defenders is not the invulnerable, indestructible and impregnable Sackland'black city wall', nor the invincible Byrne Knight; and They are mercenaries and citizens’ city defense forces who take money to sell their lives and will be frightened by the enemy at any time."

"Only by boosting morale and making them believe that they can win, can they really fight to the last minute—— Remember this, you might be able to use it someday."

Huh?

Lu Si was stunned, not because of Loren's explanation, but...why do you want to know this?

At this moment, the boat of the Azores stopped in the harbor.

The gray pupil immediately became nervous, and looked steadily forward at the silhouette walking off the boat.

It was a warrior wearing a red robe and wearing an Azores long knife.

"In Lower Sirte, it's the'four courts' under the seat of Xiong Yingwang, the royal court warrior." The red robe warrior stepped off the boat, standing on the spot vigilantly, looking away twenty steps away Distance, constantly looking up and down the black hair wizard, proudly raised his head: "In the name of Xiong Yingwang, come to negotiate with the city's garrison commander-it looks like you should be... "

"Standing at such a far place, I don't even dare to get close...this is Xiong Yingwang's sincerity." Loren said coldly, with contempt in his eyes:

"Why, are you still worried that the guard holding the flag behind me will stabb you to death with a flag gun?"

Looking at the black hair wizard's contemptuous expression, the proud red robe warrior gritted his teeth exhales one breath saying , Resisting his dissatisfaction: "Okay...if you insist."

He pressed the Azores long knife on his waist and strode towards the meteor.

However, as soon as he stepped closer, the red robe warrior's expression suddenly froze, and the right hand instinctively pressed the handle of the knife.

I, I can't feel the power of the "state of mind", so I can't call the warrior's way!

This... how come?

The astonished red robe warrior suddenly raised his head, only to find the darkness in front of him.

The air is extremely cold.

"Why...what happened?" The smile on Loren's face increased: "Could it be the discovery that I can't use the power of the warrior way?"

"Didn’t your Regalia chief Middleell tell you that Loren Torino’s "Dream of Random" can be activated without a magic array anymore."

"Oh, I almost forgot. , Middle is dead... right?"

"I killed him."

red robe warrior looked surprised and angry, the right hand instinctively pressed his waist The Azores sword in the middle: "You...?!"

"I'm here, what do you want?" Loren slowly said: "Why, don't plan to try to avenge your leader Right?"

Clang——!

Sparks splashed.

As soon as the blade was unsheathed, Lu Sien had already grabbed the black hair wizard one step, and used the flagpole against the tip of the blade.

The blade of the knife was stuck by the gray pupil with a Hidden Blade.

The red robe warrior, who was too late to be astonished, immediately drew the second knife from his arms-judging from the smooth speed of his movements, he was obviously well prepared.

"en?!"

As soon as he drew his sword for the second time, the dazzling light penetrated into his pupils, making the red robe warrior dumbfounded, who had just turned dark in front of him, for a moment; then With a burst of ecstasy, he flew over the ground and rushed towards the black hair wizard behind Lu Sien.

Then when he vacated, he saw a smug smile at the corner of Loren's mouth and a spark from his left hand.

"pa!" A snapped finger.

Boom——————! ! ! !

The light of golden red burst in the harbor, blocking everyone's sight.

Ten seconds later, the flames dissipated; what was revealed was the silhouette of the black hair wizard standing with the sword, and the golden Lion flag on the black background fluttering in the wind.

"Long live the Duke————!!!"

First, the Byrne Knight waving the battle flag, and then the entire city wall of Eboden turned into a frenzy. An ocean of excitement; one by one with their necks straight and scarlet eyes, they were desperately hitting shields and wall stacks with their weapons in their hands.

The rainstorm of the elves invaded and attacked......

The curtain officially kicked off.
