***求求***求求***求求***求求***
In the early morning of August 9, 1666 (mday+130), Lenny East District 4
***求求***求求***求求***求求***
As expected, the entire empire in the East Third District collapsed. Regardless of whether they are troops under direct attack or not, as long as they hear the never-ending sound of horse hooves, even the bravest soldiers can't help but think of the terrifying magic bombardment. The remaining Sea of ??Stars followed Anne Seifer, shooting around from time to time, driving away all those who dared to attack.
The horse rushed out of the East Third District on the blood trail.
When the two people rushed out from the shadow of the third city gate, the sky in the east had already turned white.
Captain Naymen Solayton clamped his legs on the horse's belly, hooked his toes on the auxiliary stirrup, and pressed his hand on his gun belt. He raised his head and glanced at the dawn that had just appeared.
"Is it the reserve team? Yes."
Naimen heard the horse's female rider complaining in a low voice, and then he heard gunshots.
"Block it! For the sake of His Majesty the Emperor, block it!" the imperial officer was shouting hysterically.
Naimen pulled out his pistol, hooked the harness with his toes, turned sideways and fired.
The first time the obstacles appeared in front of them, there were probably a platoon. The enemies in the fourth area are no longer so disorganized. Just like the Free Army, the elite imperial army that invaded Lunni also had people trying to reorganize the army from the defeat.
Naimen held the gun with both hands, flicked his wrist, and poured out all six bullets as quickly as possible, then began to prepare his magic. He didn't have the confidence to use aiming magic on horseback, so he chose automatic guidance magic.
He handed the gun to his left hand, drew an effect line in the air with his right hand, and recited the incantation in a low voice: "Prepare the magic missilehuh?"
There is no reaction, and there is no feedback from the magic. It's like being in an anti-magic circle.
Naimen was unwilling to give in and chanted the spell again, but the result was the same. He noticed that the enemy magic officer was also rubbing his hands anxiously, as if he wanted to use some magic, but couldn't.
"Don't bother," the female knight looked at the officer and smiled, "your magic is useless."
Who laid it? There is no need to ask this question. Only one person can do this: Lieutenant Anne Seifer of the Free Army, who single-handedly defeated the backbone of the army.
The evidence is that dozens of magic arrows are emerging from the void beside her.
The imperial officer's expression changed drastically, he drew out his sword in a panic, and pointed tremblingly at the horse he was riding with her.
Anne didn＊t even use the new spell, she just curled her fingers. A blue flash popped up from her arm, the embers of the Sea of ??Stars. The strongest magician waved his wrist and summoned some hexagonal green floating magic shields to block the bullets.
There is no suspense about the outcome of the battle. Her magic can defeat all the emperors on the main road, not even a single platoon.
She is the most powerful magician he has ever known. She was the most powerful magician he had ever heard of. She was the most powerful magician he could imagine. That overwhelming power and beauty could almost rule the world.
Naimen knew that she didn't need his help at all - his little magic power might just add chaos, right?
But he still spoke involuntarily.
"I also want to use magic, Annie. What is the principle?"
Anne tightened the reins and stopped the horse.
Not all of the small group of imperial soldiers died, but when she stopped her horses, they all scattered and fled, leaving behind not only the bodies of their comrades, but also those who were injured.
"Ah, this is the Magic Network. How should I put itthis thing is a bit complicated to say. Do you want to use magic now?"
Not now, thought Naimen. If he was still the rational Free Army staff officer he was last night, he shouldn't have asked this question. Now he should seize every second to use Anne's powerful magic to capture the Emperor of the Empire, kill him, and then join her as a hero to save the free country.
But Naimen still nodded slightly.
"Yes. I want to know now."
"It's now, seize this opportunity," a voice said to himself. Being mentally controlled once was enough; he never wanted to be controlled by others again.
? ? ? ? ? ? ? Reflexivity, experience and ambition are not enough. It is not enough to have the honor imposed on him by others. Far from enough. It was the emperor who told him that he was standing on a beach made of false luck and cleverness, and that beach could be turned upside down at any time.??collapsed, swallowed him up, and was beyond redemption.
Anne turned her head sideways, with a faint smile on her face, as if she had been waiting for this question for a long time.
"Let me think about where to start. It shouldn't be difficult for you to understand" Her voice gradually lowered, almost turning into a whisper, "Anyway, this was originally the idea of ??the Delan Empire School. "
"Delan Empire School?" Nemen paused and nervously searched for the name in his mind, "I have read the "Journal of the Imperial Arcana". They have the Classical School, the Spiritual School, and the Eastern Yi School. It seems there is no ＃§
"Ah, it's nothing, don't worry about it. In the simplest terms, it's because I changed the rules of magic." Anne's tone was relaxed and freehand, "Within the scope of Lenny's temporary magic network, the rules for using magic are no longer the same." Same."
Naimen＊s mouth opened wide and he couldn＊t close it for a long time.
Changed the rules of magic! Can something like this be done? Is this really human power? He almost had the urge to kneel down.
"Then what is this rule?"
"As long as we learn the rules, everyone can use the Magic Network." Annie replied, "This rule is very simple. We call it 'handshake'. The Magic Network theory starts from this sentence: As long as we shake hands three times, we can Can change the whole world.§
"Three handshakes?"
"Handshake iswhere should I start? Anyway, it's not a too complicated technology, so I'll just give you a summary."
When he heard Annie＊s words, Naimen had an ominous premonition. There is usually a similar statement at the beginning of every paper that no one understands.
"First of all, let's make it clear who the 'handshake' is. The so-called magic is a technology that uses belief to change reality. Scholars in the Elf Empire era believed that the source of power of this technology is human beings themselves. Modern experiments have denied this theory. Changing reality is This kind of thing is seriously inconsistent with the law. The power that the food you eat can produce is far less powerful than the power that magic can produce. According to the theory of the Delan Empire School, the moment we use magic, we actually abstract reality. There are two, one is the static reality of 'reality should be like this', and the other is the dynamic reality of 'the goal I want to change'. The process of dynamic reality interfering with the static reality is magic, and everyone's understanding of magic itself constitutes Dynamic reality. The New World School, which advocates idealist philosophy, calls the two 'objective reality' and 'subjective reality', but in fact they are just some philosophical differences, and the specific experimental results have not changed much. Dynamic reality The difference between it and static reality is that the former is how we magicians understand the world, while the latter is the world itself. The theory of 'dynamic reality' was verified in the Thomas interference experiment, and then the Temporary Magic Theory was completed under the auspices of the Imperial School. Network technology, this technology was widely used in wars. After the war, the New World School completed the integration of the magic network, and the current Lenny temporary magic network was built on the theoretical basis of that magic network. Static reality and dynamic reality are modeled, renormalized and patterned to establish a magic network that is above the rough original dynamic reality. This magic network is the sum of the worldviews of all intelligent creatures around it. The magic network accommodates all It is completely fictitious, but only recognizes facts. If everything in this world is included in this magic network, we can integrate objective reality with human knowledge, integrate all the magic around us, and reconstruct all The law of casting spells. In order to establish this reality, the Magic Network will send a request to you, and you have to give it a response, and it will reward you with the knowledge and power you expect according to certain rules. This is the 'three-way handshake'. Understand. Yet?"
Naimen considers himself a person with good learning ability. He used the materials in the library to teach himself many spells that even his teacher could not master. He also often read the "Journal of the Imperial Arcana" and "Abstracts of Papers of the **Mage Association". But this long paragraph of what Anne said - although each sentence is understandable, but together it seems like a book from heaven.
"I don't understand. I don't understand at all."
Annie stretched out her hand and waved it in front of his eyes: "You can see the magic network, which is the first handshake. Responding to it and putting forward your ideas is the second handshake. Then it will return to you and you can use it." It's magic. If you concentrate on meditating, can you see the blue lines I control?"
"Of course."
Naimen raised his head, squinted his eyes, and looked at the faint blue threads. These lines float in the air, appearing or disappearing, connecting almost all the objects around them. These blue lines are very thin, as thin as spider silk, and you can't see them if you relax a little.
Anne continued: "Imagine yourself accepting its request and using it to use your magic. If you are skilled, you don't need to make any gestures orJust use the method you are used to casting spells. "
"so?"
Naimen tried to grab the nearest blue thread, made his usual gestures, and chanted the spell: "Magic Missile!"
No response.
Annie comforted: "Then try the experience method? Recall the feeling when you first used magic. Concentrate, feel the changes around you, feel the net, and give yourself to it."
Naimen gave up gestures and spells. He closed his eyes and began to think back to the feeling he had when he used his first magic. He concentrated, trying to trust his power again.
Still no response. No matter how hard he concentrated, the giant blue net did not tremble at all.
"Still not working?" Annie, who had never taught anyone magic before, scratched her hair in distress, "There must be something you haven't understood yet. The world is not just matter, but also the sum of spirit. Everything you see is known to humans. Sum. It＊s still hard to understand, right? Ah, these definitions also need theoretical support. Should we start with epistemology? Forget it, I＊ll take apart the steps of the magic net and demonstrate it once.§
Annie stretched out her hand, hooked it with a blue silk thread.
"The first handshake. This network connects everything in Lenny that contains magic, and even things that don't contain magic."
She clenched her fists and the threads trembled.
"A second handshake. What I want is to recreate the Sea of ??Stars. It knows how this magic should work, I just need to tell it again."
The blue light begins to emerge. It was the same process as last night, but now Naimen could see it more clearly.
The light blue magic flows along the blue network and condenses into dew.
The dew condenses into water droplets, and the water droplets turn into mist. The mist gradually grew brighter, like stars in the sky. The light and the afterglow of the morning star complement each other.
"The third handshake. The Magic Network will reward you for your dedication and efforts. The magic power that magicians can use is directly related to their own magic power and their contribution to the Magic Network. Some people who have not contributed enough can The magic power mobilized through the magic network is not even as high as his own magic potential. But I built this temporary magic network, and its world is my world, so almost all the magic power on it can be controlled by me."
The blue stars gathered into a star cluster, and the stars gathered into a bright moon, resting on Annie's broken arm.
"It's called, 'Sea of ??Stars'. How about it, do you understand it? With your talent in magic theory, you should be able to understand it soon."
Looking at Anne＊s confident eyes, Naimen could only nod his head pretending to understand: ※Maybe let me try.§
A talent for magic theory? Who is she talking about?
Naimen shook his head, dispelling the messy associations, and stretched out his hand, imitating Anne's example, and hooked a thin thread of the magic net with his finger.
"The first handshake huh?"
The blue silk thread slipped through his fingers.
"That's not right. Give yourself to the Magic Network and acknowledge its power. The first handshake is there."
Trying again, my fingertips felt a touch like an electric shock from the magic net. He felt it. That's the flow of magic. Aren't gestures and incantations the key? A technique like silent hair?
Naimen shook his head hurriedly to expel this purely illusory touch from his mind. It would be terrible if he develops bad operating habits. He stretched out his hand and tried to apply to the magic network.
"Second handshakemagic arrow!"
He clenched his fists tightly, but the blue silk thread slipped cunningly from his palm. No magic flowed out. Naimen became more and more nervous. He took a deep breath and wanted to try a third time.
At this moment, both she and he heard the tearing sound of the shells cutting through the air.
The two people looked at each other and knew it was no longer time to delay here.
"Is this magic move too big?" Annie turned her head and tightened her grip on the reins. "Let's not mention this problem for now. We have to escape. Hold me tight, Naimen!"
"What?!" Naimen's arms shook and he opened his eyes suddenly, "Thishughug"
The female lieutenant in red shook the horse's reins and kicked the horse's flank hard with the spur of her right foot.
"Hold tight! The enemy's artillery can detect my magic power. They may also have mastered the operation of the magic network. We are about to attack! Surface gravity (surface gravity)
Gravitation)! "
"This Newton's magic?"
Naimen＊s words were drowned in the magicAmidst the explosion of guided artillery shells.
"Sea of ??Stars" is really a very eye-catching magic, not to mention that it is almost the only large-scale magic currently working in the city. All the artillery at the Empire's disposal was trained on this street, ready to destroy the greatest threat with sheer brute force.
Naimen only hesitated for a moment before hugging Annie's waist tightly - because the horse had already started to step on the wall nearby. Although the direction of gravity has changed, the huge acceleration caused by the change is still likely to throw people out.
To his surprise, what his fingers touched was not the warm fragrance of nephrite as he imagined, but a hard and cold glass-like crystal. Through the military uniform and soft leather armor, he could feel the hard touch and the flow of magic power.
Naimen knows this magic. Substitute organs are magic developed by the top mages of the Dark Ages to extend life. For top mages, extending life is an eternal problem. From substitute prosthetics and substitute organs to attempts to back up the body, various magical techniques to prevent death have been completed.
"Magic for substitute organs? You should find a priest, Annie!"
The horse＊s hooves trampled the vertical wall and climbed to the roof. The shells roared into the houses and streets, making a deafening sound.
"This is not the time!" Anne shouted in reply, "Where can there be such a high-ranking priest!"
"There is no one for us to find! How long can your magic power last for so many organs and prosthetics?"
"No need!" Anne's left hand, which was made purely of magical energy, flew in the air at high speed like a whip, intercepting two other magic cannonballs with tracking magic. "For a senior mage, the body is just a consumable. !§
While Annie was using magic, Naimen suddenly felt a slight numbness on his fingertips. It's the magic power that's flowing - no, it's the magic network that's flowing.
He concentrated and stared around. Those blue lines gathered quickly and separated quickly.
The magic power in Annie's body is also boiling. These boiling magic powers affect the surrounding magic network, creating a beautiful abstract picture. The blue threads are gathered into paint and different grid shapes. From these grids, waves of air masses are generated, some blocking the flight path of the cannonballs, and some paving the roofs and roofs. in between, forming their path forward.
Anne＊s use of magic does not require those ritualized spells and gestures. All she had to do was move, and the magic network would follow her into action. This scene looks extremely beautiful in the eyes of magicians.
"Her own magic power and the magic power of the magic network areresonating with the same rhythm? But how is this different from what I do?"
He subconsciously closed his eyes, hugged Anne's slender waist tightly, felt her magic, and imagined the working logic of these magics. The substitute organ itself was maintained by magic power, and it was connected to Anne's body by magic power lines. His fingers could not help but touch along those magic power lines.
The owner of that beautiful waist couldn＊t sit still, and twisted around on the narrow saddle: ※Hey, it＊s very itchy.§
But the sound of the cannons was still roaring, and the smoke and wind covered up her subtle voice. The only arm was holding the horse's reins, and the other hand was busy emitting colorful magic. He really had no time to deal with the passengers behind him. She is beginning to regret it now: the leather armor she chose was too close-fitting
"Forget it, he will stop when he gets there anywayPfft, he also sensed the flow of my magic power! This, this kind of talent is really not low, isn't it?"
Anne suppressed the bursts of laughter and continued to talk to herself in a voice that no one could hear. She rode her horse forward, leaping across streets after streets, dodging wave after wave of shelling, until all the The shelling stopped.
This means that they have reached the enemy's line.
"Okay, stop, we're here."
Anne pulled the reins sharply, stopped the horse, and looked ahead.
Naimen finally realized what he was doing just now. His face flushed, he hurriedly let go of his hand, jumped off the horse, and looked forward.
The whole city was burning, the yellow light of the flames intertwined with the blue light of the temporary magic network. The houses on both sides of the road were knocked down one after another, forming a criss-crossing network of temporary bunkers; among these bunkers, the empire's last reserve formation formed the densest triple array, blocking her and him in front of them, with no end in sight.
"It seems that the empire still has troops to fight." Anne sighed, "Five thousand people no, maybe 10,000 or 15,000 people?"
Naimen frowned and nervously made a troop estimate. "If you don't consider the reserves, it's seven thousand to eight thousand. I'm afraid the empire's final reserves will be??It's here. Even if you use your magic to bombard them head-on, I'm afraid you won't be able to penetrate such a dense formation. One or two magic missiles cannot make a soldier lose his combat effectiveness. "
The emperor's array was almost packed with people, shoulder to shoulder, muzzle to muzzle. The opponent has put up a formation of this size and obviously has no intention of reloading. All battles will be decided in that single shot.
There are already some marksmen trying to shoot at them. Anne stretched and summoned three sets of protective magic to defend against stray bullets. Thousands of porcelain pieces floated in front of her, him and her horse.
"Emperor Gustav the Great is really a wise, decisive and courageous commander."
At the end of the lineup that stretched for half of the fourth area, there was a man in gold armor standing on the tower. The royal crest of the Holy Koman Empire is engraved on his armor, and the "power" in his hands is clearly visible.
"Want to rely on more people to spread the damage? Then don't use the Sea of ??Stars." After staring for a long time, Annie curled her lips slightly and said, "Can you use magic, Naimen?"
Naimen＊s fingers shook, but the magic net still didn＊t respond at all.
Sorry to disappoint you. I'm not a genius. I can't grasp such a complicated theory
But all the words finally condensed into one word: "I'm sorry."
"There's no rush." ??Anne shrugged and dismounted, "Then let's divide the work. I'll kill the emperor, Solayton, and you'll be responsible for taking care of the horse."
"What? Look look at the horse?"
Naimen wondered if he had heard wrongly. When she talked about "killing the emperor", her tone was as nonchalant as saying "I'll cook tonight and you wash the dishes."
"This horse has a lot of magic power gathered on it. It will be quite troublesome to strengthen another horse."
Anne looked at the dawn in the east and took steps. After just a few steps, she suddenly thought of something again, and turned around and added: "Also, it's your turn to sit in front on the way back!"

August 9, 1666 (mday+130) Dawn East Fourth District Imperial Position
***求求***求求***求求***求求***
"Stop the shelling! All troops are in position!"
"Stop the shelling!"
The command echoed above the entire reserve team.
The shelling stopped, and everyone took a breath of cold air. The all-out bombardment failed, and the few remaining high-level mages fought in two groups - the huge magic group was still there.
"The enemy's magic is still working!"
※The goal is still moving forward!§
"The Medical Knights are already in place!"
"The Knights of the Guard are already in place!"
"The largest mass formation! Even if it takes human lives to fill it, we have to fill her here!"
The concentration of exclamation marks in the dialogue between the emperor's officials has obviously reached more than ten times the usual level. The headquarters had no plan for this situation, because no one could have imagined that the elite group of spellcasters that the empire was proud of would fall into a situation of insufficient magic power.
"Build a barrier! Reject the opponent's magic power absorption!"
"Your Majesty the Duke! The reserve team's magic power is insufficient! Two-thirds of our magic power is fighting Lopez on the northern front. The remaining people suffered heavy losses in previous battles and cannot guarantee basic magic support!"
"We're probably going to have to ditch all the low-level mages, but the magic items still seem to be working fine."
"Ask the logistics side not to count the seizures, but to send any magic items over immediately!"
Since the First Freedom War, the empire＊s troika composed of mages, priests and nobles, although not very obedient and not very orderly, has been steadily overwhelming the Free Army in terms of magic warfare.
In order to combat the ten-fold difference in magical combat power, the southern countries successively established military academies, public libraries, and manufacturing contractor systems, but they could only narrow the gap to one to three; that is to say, "concentrating the entire free country" The spell caster can achieve a temporary suppression advantage over the emperor on a local battlefield."
However, Lenny＊s offensive and defensive battle is obviously not included in this. Even after several divisions, only one-third of the main army's spellcasters remained, they still steadily maintained their magic advantage over the defenders.
Until tonight.
The Witch of the Free Army suppressed them all by herself. It was suppressed to the point where there were only a few dozen high-level mages left in the entire legion, and this number was decreasing every minute.
Not to mention the wide-area bombardment magic that is enough to subvert many magic theories, the corrosion magic she used alone makes every spellcaster tremble with fear. The blue line representing erosion is infected.??It's so fast and the level of danger is unprecedented.
"What on earth is that blue line that is as overwhelming as a net!"
"Reconstruct the formation with the senior mage as the center! Don't surrender to the blue line!"
"Measure the magic flow and give me the flow data!"
"The blue zone controlled by the enemy is expanding at a rapid rate! The flow rate isismore than 5,000 units?!"
"Is the opponent's erosion magic automatic? What kind of perverted spell is this!"
"The enemy relies on the power of new super magic! Don't be nervous, super magic is not scary! Concentrate on defense, we can win!"
But the enemy will not give them any more time. Everyone saw that the woman in red military uniform had jumped off the horse.
The horse neighs.
※It＊s coming.§ Many people suppressed their fear and subconsciously repeated, ※It＊s finally here.§
The emperors and soldiers, who looked upon death as if they were home, nodded to each other and started firing volleys. If even dispersed formations and concealment cannot fight against the Sea of ??Stars, then the only way to fight against it is with flesh and blood.
To their surprise, the huge magic group did not fall down like before.
Instead, there is only one person marching.
"It's not a magic attack! Be careful she uses continuous teleportation to break through! Don't mess up your position!"
Responsible for commanding the first line of defense is the court mage Peter Riley, one of the few people who can still retain his faith to use magic.
After discovering that the opponent's magical power was beyond imagination, the imperial command system was quickly handed over to the accompanying magicians and priests in accordance with the order. The remaining less than twenty high-level mages were each responsible for a line of defense, concentrating all magic weapons and anti-magic guns behind the flesh-and-blood defense line.
"Tactics such as "a high-level mage breaks through alone" were originally the exclusive tactics of the Imperial Army. Today, it is the first time that the defense system against this kind of tactics has been put into actual combat. High-level mages led sniper teams, hiding in the ruined corners of houses and streets, monitoring the front.
But Anne Seifer did not use continuous teleportation. She felt no need to do such redundant calculations.
"Shoot! Shoot! Shoot!"
Porcelain shards were flying, and the bullets fired by the emperor's soldiers smashed into pieces of ceramic pieces one after another. Probably because of the spell caster's bad taste, all the porcelain pieces are blue and white with blue lines and white background, the best oriental products.
The blond female officer raised her left hand, which was made purely of magic, and drew a charming sketch in the air. Riley believed that he should be ranked among the one hundred best mages in the world, but even he couldn't see the variety and amazing speed of magic. No matter whether it's long-range or close combat, whether it's sniper magic or range magic, no attack can threaten her.
As the commander, all Riley could see clearly was the collapsed defense line.
The tragedy of that scene is difficult to describe in words, it was a hundred times more tragic than the previous battle when the "Sea of ??Stars" attacked. Each injured person suffered a completely different magical attack, and their misery was different, like hell.
Faced with such a scene, he ultimately did not allow his sniper team to launch an attack. He didn't dare give that order.
He was not the only one who thought so, and the commanders of the second and third lines of defense did not take any action. Sir Thomas Hobbs, who was in charge of the fourth line of defense group, reluctantly launched the attack. The traces he left behind - which could no longer be said to be corpses - were painted on the wall of a dilapidated house nearby.
"No our assumptions are all wrong. She is not the kind of magician who 'relies on large-scale magic' at all. She is better than all of us in the skill and efficiency of using ordinary magic. She only uses large-scale magic because ＃just out of＃laziness.§
Thinking of this, Riley began to tremble involuntarily. If using that kind of large magic is lazythen what would she be like if she wasn't lazy?
Then, he saw Annie stopped in front of the fifth line of defense and stretched out her hand towards the line of defense. She said, "Do you need me to repeat what I said before?"
That language seems to have magic. No, it must have magic, but even the court mage couldn't recognize the magic.
Because next, the entire defense line separated from the center. The most elite Imperial soldiers became the walls of the "Sefir Corridor".
Those brave Imperial soldiers, like their comrades, lost their will to fight in the face of this superhuman force. They put down their guns silently and stood silently, watching the terrible witch walk among them. Without any magical support, fighting such an enemy is tantamount to death.Some nobles could not help but shed tears. They knew that they would never forget their failure here for the rest of their lives.
Riley, who was also the court painter, couldn't help but take out his sketchbook and drew this shocking scene in his sketchbook. Next to the sketch, Peter Riley wrote: "Magic was a part of her and Lennie was her world."
On the outer wall of Lenny at the end of the road, the golden-armored commander-in-chief of the Imperial Army and Minister of Military Affairs, Duke Feigota, was also looking at this scene. The corridor stretched from where Anne was to the city gate at his feet.
"Let the staff retreat. The opponent's combat effectiveness far exceeds estimates. However, it is not beyond what we can handle."
"Are you going to use that, Your Excellency the Duke?" a staff officer asked, "Such a sacrifice"
Duke von Feigota replied: "It won't be worse than the first defensive zone. She wants to break the back of our emperor."
"Then, please allow us to watch until the end. We are also very confident in the defense of that area and will not lose to her"
Hearing the pleas of the staff, the scepter called "Power" in the Duke's hand hit the ground heavily: "No, you must leave. Your war is not over yet. This is an order."
The old Duke is holding "power" in his hands, and the command sword on his waist is the "mercy" of the Earl of Eagle Wings. This means that he currently has command authority over all subjects of the empire. The staff officers did not dare to disobey and left the top of the city wall after saluting the military salute.
"And I will see it until the end, otherwise I will be sorry to His Majesty and the Foreign Secretary for the weapons they entrusted to me."
The Duke muttered to himself, looking at the thirty twenty-four-pound cannon deployed behind the defense line. These heavy artillery originally used for sieges have been filled with magic-breaking bullets and double shotgun shells, and are his last line of defense.
And that terrifying witch is walking into the shooting area of ??the last line of defense. Watching her steps, the Duke went over the plan in his mind one last time, nodded with satisfaction, and put down the hood of his helmet.
"If the level of magic power alone could determine the outcome of a battle, humans wouldn't need magic."
At the same time that Annie walked out of the last set of barricades, all thirty heavy cannons roared, and the whole Lennie was shaken. Even the Liberty Bell on top of the First District Council Building shook with the sound of shelling and kept ringing.
In the smoke, the girl whispered the spell: "Superelectromagnetic field (superelectromagnetic field)"!
Her left arm, which was completely made of magic, suddenly began to change. Electric sparks flashed out from near the magic arm, and the magic arm itself turned into countless filaments, catching all the shotguns and magic-breaking bullets fired from the front. Magicians have known for a long time that they can use magnetic fields to deal with the bombardment of iron sand weapons, and they also know that they can use magic repulsion fields to deal with magic metals. But it wasn't until Faraday that they had an electromagnetic field shield that was universal to all metals.
This is unheard of knowledge for the mages of the empire. They had never heard of any mage who could withstand the simultaneous bombardment of thirty bullets of different materials.
But the blond female lieutenant just rushed out of the hail of bullets - with a left arm made purely of high-heat metal projectiles and electric sparks!
Her speed was so fast that the gunners didn't even have time to reload. Her left arm was like a demon of death, easily slaughtering the best artillery in the empire.
Looking at this tragic scene, Duke Feigota's expression did not change at all, but his eyes were slightly moist.
"You helped me make the most difficult decision." He whipped out his command sword "Mercy" and ordered, "Light up the artillery positions!"
The last two senior mages threw high-temperature javelins composed of pure flames towards the artillery position.
Sensing the sudden magical power, Anne looked down and discovered that behind the artillery position, there were piles of wooden barrels. She also immediately realized what was in these barrels.
That was obviously gunpowder. The emperor actually gave up their entire heavy artillery force to use as bait!
There is only time left to use one magic spell. There was no way she could protect herself and escape the danger zone at the same time.
Annie gritted her teeth and made an instant decision〞〞
The powder barrels of the entire artillery position exploded. The Imperial Reserves brought over the entire legion's gunpowder reserves, which amounted to tens of thousands of pounds.
It was an explosion big enough to blow up half the street. Black smoke rose in the air, looking like a huge black mushroom. Except for the slowly falling smoke clouds, the entire battlefield was silent. People could only hear the sound of debris, bricks, and metal particles hitting the ground like raindrops and rolling.
Then they noticed that the huge, star-like magic cluster seemed to be gradually getting smaller.
"Did you win?" The emperor's people began to whisper to each other quietly, and the sound became louder and louder.
I don＊t know who shouted first: ※Kill the witch! Long live the emperor! Long live the Holy Empire!§
The cheers spread from one person to another, until everyone left alive started cheering. The wounded soldiers cheered with weak voices, and the seriously wounded soldiers breathed their last with a smile of relief.
Only two people did not join in the cheering chorus.
On the westernmost side of the battlefield, the young Free Army captain's legs softened and he knelt on the ground.
"Noimpossible. AnneAnneII"
Naimen Solayton repeated meaningless babbles over and over again, digging his fingers into the cracks in the bricks on the ground. His nails were broken and bloody.
On the easternmost side of the battlefield, the commander-in-chief of the Imperial Army could not laugh.
Because he heard a moving female voice, happily repeating the slogan.
"Long live His Majesty the Emperor, right?"
The old Duke von Fegota suddenly raised his head and saw Anne Seifer, whose face was full of dust, slowly falling from the air, with a smile on her face, and a very non-standard Empire in her right hand near her forehead. Simplify military salutes.
"That scepter is 'power' It's a pleasure to meet you, His Majesty the Emperor."
His eyes widened. Even with this arrangementcan't we defeat this witch?
"It's an exciting arrangement, Your Majesty, but enough is enough. Our world needs peace."
She landed not far in front of the Duke. The Duke noticed that her military uniform pants were torn, and the black enchanted leather armor underneath was filled with shrapnel and shotgun pellets.
The experienced Duke immediately understood Anne's method of getting out of trouble: at that moment, she used the flying technique and controlled the electromagnetic field to throw away her heavy left arm, which in exchange for a huge initial speed that allowed her to fly into the sky and avoid it. A storm.
She is not a violent mage who only relies on powerful magic power - but a true top mage. If she had tried to use teleportation, flight, or protection with her last spell, she might have been killed; but she wisely gave up protection.
Almost at the same time, the old Duke of Fegota also realized that the other party mistakenly thought that he was Emperor Gustav.
"The witch is not omnipotent, she also makes mistakes sometimes."
The Duke did not answer her, but said this to himself in his heart.
He put down the "mercy" in his hand, pulled out the "power", and stroked the magic circuit on it with his fingers. The sharpest sword in the world was inserted directly into the wall brick, with only two-thirds of the sword exposed.
Anne wiped her face and her expression became serious: "It seems that your Majesty doesn't want to talk anymore. That's fine, let's just end the war here."
The gem at the top of "Power" lit up as an answer.
