When Hyde and the small airship disappeared in the crazy storm, the city of Kislevgrad, about fifty leagues away from the imperial coalition, was quiet. Due to the lack of fuel, the entire city seemed like a dark sea. Only a few places were illuminated with faint light, adding a touch of life to this silent giant city. ?? Red brick houses and log houses stand side by side, with huge spiers, like silent giants. There were no pedestrians on the wide street, only the occasional patrol passing by. The pine torch danced in front of them, illuminating their pointed helmets, shining fish scale armor, and the mottled bluestone road. From the jumping flames, you can see that many houses on both sides of the road have had their doors, windows, and floors removed, like hollow skeletons. The night was silent, with no barking of dogs or neighing of horses, only the footsteps of patrols echoed. All this makes the whole city so devoid of life, like a dead desert. During the long siege, dogs and horses had already entered people's stomachs, and they finally benefited their owners with their lives. Although the Kislevites usually do not eat dog meat, during this long siege, all the rules were broken. The whole city is dark, but there is only one place that is brightly lit, like a winding snake of light, or like an emaciated giant bear curled up in hibernation. That is where the ancient sacred red brick city wall, the guardian of Kislevgrad, is located. Dense torches are burning one after another on the tall battlements. This is an essential condition for night defense, because the lightless city walls will be the easiest targets for sneak attacks. "Your Highness the Princess Regent, it's very cold today, wouldn't you go back earlier?" On this majestic red wall, an old man in heavy armor gently asked the young woman in front of him, his There was a hint of gentleness and concern in his voice. "I am a war mage of ice and snow, and the light of the Holy Spirit Esun shines on my body. This coldness is nothing, because I am a person born with ice and snow." Commander-in-Chief of Kislevgrad, current regent King, Princess Catalina answered the old man in front of her with a firm and cold voice, and her beautiful face was like a piece of hard ice. The sudden snowflakes and cold wind were flying, covering her thick manticore skin cloak with a layer of white snow, and condensing gorgeous frost on her golden bear-headed eagle-wing pauldrons, making this tall and stern figure The princess is set off like a sword of ice, with an air of no compromise and unyielding. "You have only rested for three or four hours for several days in a row. The decisive battle is imminent. You should pay attention to your health" "I have already dedicated my heart and my body to the motherland. I will not tolerate this happening at the last moment. Wrong, do you understand? "Katrina gently shook her blond, ear-length hair, with an unmistakable light on her resolute face. Then the old man, who was called uncle, fell silent and lowered his head wearing a tall mink hat. Patrolling the city walls at night has been a routine subject for Princess Catalina for several months. This beautiful princess used her example to inspire the hearts of the soldiers. In every brutal battle to defend the city, she fought bravely on the front line, using fierce ice bear spirits and flashing battle axes to fight against the swarming enemies, giving full play to her expertise as a battle mage. Wherever her red Ice Bear Double Swords flag went, it stirred up chaotic blood rain and icy wind, making the enemies besieging the city tremble with fear. In fact, even Lostari had a tentative fight with her. At that time, this beautiful witch soared in the sky on a huge harpy, trying to command the harpy colony to attack the fortress at the north gate. , but blocked by the sacred magic circle surrounding the red wall, she was unable to enter. She just fought with the approaching princess with her thin sword in the air, and then slipped away with a smile, leaving behind A light blowing kiss. "My cute little white cat, your city defense magic circle is too strong. It's unfair to fight you here! But if I use my true ability, it will damage your lovely body, which will make me Very sad! Forget it, I am not impatient anyway. I will always strip you naked, put you on a chain, and put you at my feet to be my lovely pet. This is the end of today. You must take care of yourself!" At that moment, Luostali smiled and stroked her breasts, which were decorated with golden pendants and blue magic stones, and used the magic of amplification to tease the fighting-minded princess happily. . She sat on the shoulders of the giant harpy, raising her slender jade legs childishly, showing off her shining ornaments and naked belly to the princess holding the battle ax tightly below, her voice full of magnetic temptation. . "That's right! Your clothes are too conservative! If you dress up like my lovely dancers and expose your lovely body, it will definitely be very?Interesting! Oh! Why don't you show your beautiful skin? I will personally put on the most gorgeous collar for you! That's definitely" "Fire the cannon and fire a volley of cannonballs. "The tall princess bit her lip, and then answered in a short voice. However, Lostari had already escaped quickly, leaving only her cheerful laughter and faint fragrance echoing in the air. "Our eldest princess defeated the witch of chaos in a duel! " This was a legend that became popular in the city of Kislevgrad after the battle, and it greatly boosted morale for a while. But anyone with a little strength and culture understands what this is about, because Kislev Rivgrad's city defense magic circle can offset any powerful chaotic force. The great ancient magic circle is the connection between the city and the earth. It comes from the root of this world. The more powerful the chaos magic will be encountered under this defensive magic circle. The stronger the restraint. This great defensive formation is a sacred protection given to mankind by the ancient gods, and its history is as long as the history of Kislev. ¡°To attack the true city of the unbelievers, there must be enough artillery and siege weapons. Use physical force to knock down their walls. Laziness and trickery will not do, for the false gods of the unbelievers will curse the magical power of the Chaos Gods on their walls. ¡± This is the experience recorded by the Chaos War Lord, the Demon Prince Aesavi Darath, in his Book of Brass hundreds of years ago. It is also a record of a painful lesson, because he wanted to lead an army of demons to fly directly into The plan for the capital of the Principality of Nordland collapsed under the sacred magic circle. The array of demons screamed and fell like flies, being burned and torn apart in the magic circle that spanned the sky of the giant city. Although they tried hard to escape, In the end, seven-tenths were lost, and even the Demon Prince Aesavi himself was seriously injured. This is the result of trying to airborne directly in the giant human city. This is why Kislevgrad can hold on for a long time, because The defensive magic circle in a country's capital has terrible damage even to the devil prince. The older and larger the city, the more powerful the defensive magic circle. They are blessings from the ancient gods to protect mankind. The magic of chaos is difficult to shake. Only the cannon fire of iron and lead can shake them, only the tunnels and explosive gunpowder can shake them. The tentacles of magic cannot climb their walls, and only the towers of ladders and siege chariots can climb them. Weapons are indispensable, cannons and trebuchets are indispensable, because even the smallest long-range magic will lose 60% of its power in the magic circle, and the result of investing in high-level magic is that most of it will be in vain, even if it is The top wizards will also feel frustrated. Tens of millions of soldiers and their swords are necessary to defeat the city wall. This has become a consensus written by all Chaos leaders through hundreds of years of failure.
