Section 477 Unexpected X Confluence of X (18)

"You can try." Ethan Lien's voice revealed a sense of determination and determination. "Let's see if I dare."

Marcus stared at Ethan Lien, not giving an order. On his side, Christian turned his head to the side and did not speak.

"That's right." Seeing them like this, Ethan Lien spoke. "We're friends, so why fight? The struggle for power and profit, that's a matter from above, what does it have to do with us soldiers below? ”

"Just wait here, wait for the battle above to end, no matter who wins or loses, will it still come to embarrass us? When the time comes, as long as you play for the winner, will the other party not accept it? ”

Marcus looked at him, then at Ethanlien, and shook his head.

"Professor Hallwick won't allow that."

After saying this, powerful magical energy spread around him.

Solidify and fade.

The Lucilles' party was in a garden.

Here, there are no taller buildings around. They cut down a lot of the grass and trees in the garden to build simple fortifications around it. Some of the soldiers stood guard behind the fortifications with shields, and from time to time they flashed with the glow of the magic that broke the spell.

On the periphery, from time to time, a small group of several people entered the fortifications or came out of them. The soldiers on guard kept talking, and a buzz rang out above the camp.

Duke Lucier was standing on a higher point in the fortifications, looking into the distance, where several officers stood beside him. When Yuan Sen noticed them, an officer spoke.

"It's not a difficult tactic to deal with, as long as we reduce contact with large buildings, they can't help us. This is the method of cowards, they are afraid of the 'sword of punishment' and dare not fight us from the front, so they use this method! ”

"So, what are we going to do with this cowardly method?" Beside him, the second officer looked at his companion and said. "Even if we don't get close to the big buildings, they use their magic to move a lot of big rocks above us and drop them, what are we going to do?"

"A few stones, can't we stop it?" The first officer retorted.

"I said, 'Many big rocks.'" The second officer said. You can block one or two, but dozens of pieces fly over at the same time, overwhelming, how do you block them? ”

"I..."

The first officer was still trying to argue, but at this time, the third officer next to him spoke.

"It's a good thing they didn't think of it in time. However, in the next moment, countless large rocks will fly over. ”

"They don't have enough magic." Said the second officer.

"They don't need to use magic entirely." The third officer looked at the tower in the distance and said. "Put a couple of stone throwers on top of there, throw the rocks over and we'll have a hard time dealing with them."

With that, he looked at Duke Lucille beside him. "Lord Duke, why don't we leave. Maybe they're preparing to attack here. ”

"It's easy to leave, but what's next?" When the Duke did not reply, the fourth officer next to him said so. "How do you guarantee that the buildings around us won't suddenly collapse as we move? How can you be sure that you won't be attacked by surprise at that time? ”

"Ugh." The third officer did not answer, but only sighed.

"If it can be solved by leaving, then what are we going to say? Just leave. The fourth officer continued. The problem now is that there is nothing we can do about what they do. ”

"Now, we can only hope that the attacks of those squads will be effective." The second officer also sighed and said.

"I'm afraid it's hard to be useful." Said the fourth officer. "Even if they succeed in killing those mages, I'm afraid they still have magic ready on buildings everywhere.... By the time we get past, they'll still crumble. ”

"According to you, we're going to lose?" The first officer asked.

"No, we can win." Duke Lucil spoke. "I'm sure I'll win."

Several officers looked at the Duke together, and then the first officer spoke with joy.

"Do you have any secret weapons? Or did you anticipate this for a long time? ”

The Duke looked around.

"There are solutions, but they can come at a great cost. Let's wait and see if the team can bring back some results. ”

"The ancestors are above, I hope they don't think of trebuchets." Said the third officer.

"They couldn't have imagined." The Duke said. "They are a group of mages, and when they encounter any problems, the first thing they want to solve is to solve them with magic. They wouldn't do it any other way. ”

The third officer moved his jaw as if to retort, but then stopped and said nothing.

After that, the Duke walked aside. He was far away before he spoke to his companions. "Unless someone reminds them."

"Is this method of demolishing houses to attack the enemy like a mage?" The fourth officer said. "Will they not think of it?"

"I don't know who commanded this?" Said the second officer. "If you kill him, will you be able to stop the enemy from continuing to attack in this way?"

"Could this be what the Duke just said?" Said the third officer. "Kill this man, and the rest of the mages will still use offensive magic to confront us head-on?"

"I'm afraid it's hard." The fourth officer said. "There are some things that a lot of people can't think of doing without the first person to do it. But as soon as one person does it and reaps the benefits, everyone will start to follow suit. ”

"For example, in this battle, the mages use magic, we use demon-breaking equipment, and it sounds like we're restraining them. However, the Demon Breaking Equipment costs the family a lot, but it is only useful when facing magic directly..."

"I remember that you were against the mass production of this kind of equipment." The second officer looked at the fourth.

"yes." Said the fourth officer. "It's not useless to break the demon with this kind of equipment, but it's only suitable for hitting the enemy by surprise. It is not suitable as a common means of enforcing the law and managing those mages in peacetime--- which is too clumsy from the perspective of combat. ”

"This is an order from the Duke himself." Said the second officer. "I guess he thought about it a lot before deciding to do it."

"Maybe it's to show the other families what we're capable of," said the third officer.

"I know." Said the fourth officer. "But no matter how many reasons there are, today, when it is necessary to fight, the flaws of doing so are being revealed."
