Chapter 148: Magic Trap
On this day, after a long journey of most of the day, Lord Doug finally met the castle of Emperor Shitian.
The three-tiered diamond-shaped walls, together with the three zigzag towers within the walls, give the castle a very strong defensive capacity.
This kind of novel castle, Lord Doug had never seen before, and after taking a closer look, he frowned and said: "I have to say, this Nether Native is really a bit capable, this shape of the fortress can give full play to the protective power in the city, no matter which direction it attacks, it feels particularly awkward." ”
"Hmph!" the water blue mage snorted coldly, and said disdainfully: "What's so great about strong protection? Without the blessing of magical power, I can make the entire castle collapse with a single earth splitting technique!"
"Hehe, that's right. Lord Doug smiled and said, "However, until the last moment, it is better not to use the earth splitting technique, in case the entire castle really collapses, we still have to dig up the materials inside." It's not hard enough. ”
"That's right, in that case, let's use cavalry to attack!" The Water Blue Mage sneered, "Let these idiots see the power of the steel torrent!"
"Not today, we've changed our route for six or seven hours, and the soldiers are tired, take a rest and attack tomorrow!" Lord Doug ordered.
The army then began to camp outside the castle, only five kilometers away.
At such a close distance, even a machine gun can sweep in a circle, let alone a 107 rocket launcher.
But Lord Doug knew that he could be attacked, and he still insisted on camping like this, obviously underestimating the other party.
And Emperor Shi Tian did seem to admit it, although he came out from time to time to hang around and show his face on the city wall, but after all, he did not launch any attack, and let the other party set up camp.
After more than eight hours, Lord Doug woke up his sleeping warriors and began to make a fire.
This time, it was breakfast before the battle, and Lord Doug was also rare to be generous, and everyone was given some meat.
It's not an easy task to travel long distances to carry so much meat.
Lord Doug also wanted to boost morale before the launch, and he deliberately brought a little, which could only let tens of thousands of troops eat one or two meals.
But despite this, the warriors who had not seen meat for a long time were also extremely satisfied.
After a full meal, tens of thousands of troops marched out of the camp with great vigour.
They were divided into three different phalanxes, each led by sword and shield men, with pikemen and archers taking cover behind.
The remaining 3,000 knights were concentrated in the middle to protect the more than 100 mages behind.
Without any engineering equipment, I am afraid that with those infantry, I am afraid that I will not even be able to climb the city wall.
So on the surface, Lord Doug doesn't seem to have any ability to siege the city.
However, this is a magical world where anything can happen.
I saw Lord Doug wave his hand and say directly to Master Aqua Blue, "Let's start!"
"Why don't you talk to the guy on the other side in front of the battle?" asked the water blue mage curiously.
"What are you talking about now? Aren't you being humiliated by that cheap-mouthed bastard?" Lord Doug said with a hideous face, "If I want to talk to him, I will also take that guy alive and talk to him by stepping on his face!"
"Okay, I see!" The Aqua Blue Mage nodded, then said proudly, "I will fulfill your wishes!"
Afterwards, Master Shui Lan commanded: "Listen to my orders, group blessings, wind treading technique!"
With the order of the water blue mage, more than a hundred mages immediately began to mobilize their own mana and concentrated it in the magic array for the water blue mage to use.
The water blue mage held a magic wand and chanted an inexplicable magic spell in his mouth, and then gathered everyone's magic energy together, and directly released a cyan magical light by walking on the blessing of the silver staff.
This light instantly enveloped more than 3,000 knights in front of them, and the war horses under each knight's crotch were surrounded by cyan magical energy.
Then, the three silver-level knight captains of the Thousand Men team immediately drew their long swords and shouted, "Charge!"
The next moment, the three thousand cavalry roared in unison, and then began to gradually accelerate and gallop forward.
At this time, a magical scene appeared, these war horses slowly took off, and there was obviously nothing air under their feet, but it was like stepping on the earth.
This is the effect of the high-level wind spell, the Wind Treading Technique. It allows people or mounts to walk through the air, ignoring all terrain obstacles, and can even allow cavalry to charge directly at the head of the city.
And now, the 3,000 cavalry who were originally in the rear team directly stepped on the strong wind and galloped over the head of the army, making everyone's clothes flutter and crackle.
But the people below did not complain at all, but cheered for their comrades when they were excited!
In the cheering of more than 30,000 infantry brothers, the 3,000 cavalry were in high spirits and rushed directly to the castle of Emperor Shitian.
At the same time, the three cavalry leaders also tore up the precious silver-level magic scrolls and blessed all the cavalry with the Armor of Light spell, making their defenses reach a very terrifying situation.
Now these cavalry, with amazing impact and protection, and they can fly, are simply invincible.
The main force in the hands of Emperor Shi Tian, the cave man archer, is absolutely helpless against such a team.
Even if it is a bronze-level alchemy machine gun, it is difficult to block the impact of the opponent, even if it fires with all its strength, it will only kill some cavalry in front at most, but it is impossible to block such a huge torrent of steel.
Therefore, in Lord Doug's opinion, he has won this battle.
In fact, not only Lord Doug thought so, but even his subordinates thought so, so at this moment, everyone was full of momentum and excitement, and they were all looking forward to the news of the victory.
Only the water blue mage, the magician's special sensing ability, made her perceive that there always seemed to be something wrong, but what was wrong, she couldn't say it, instinctively wanted to stop the cavalry charge, but at this point, she herself knew that Lord Doug, who felt that the victory was in hand, would not stop the pace of the army because of her telepathy.
Therefore, the water blue mage can only choose to be silent, and then try to be vigilant as much as possible to deal with the sudden situation.
Finally, the imposing cavalry army rushed to the head of the city without hindrance, only to find that it was empty.
But they didn't hesitate at all, and went straight into the castle.
In their opinion, no matter what kind of conspiracy the other party has, as long as they occupy the core of the castle, the pool of magic and the teleportation circle, then they will be equivalent to winning the war.
In this case, the three silver powerhouses took the lead and rushed to the gate of the core castle at the fastest speed.
Three silver-white sword lights flashed away, and the hard wooden gate of the castle shattered in an instant, and it didn't even play any role in blocking it.
The cavalry didn't even bother to glance at the broken gates, and then rushed into the interior of the castle with a cheer, and soon arrived at the Pool of Magic and the Magic Teleportation Array.
Until now, they have not seen a single enemy.
Three dozen silver chieftains don't care so much, since they have occupied this place, it is a glorious victory.
They roared excitedly, and under their influence, the other soldiers cheered and waved their weapons.
The people outside the city did not know what was happening, but they heard the cheers of their companions from inside, and thought that they had won a great victory, and tens of thousands of people followed suit.
Seeing this, Lord Doug couldn't help but smile proudly, and then said to Master Shui Lan: "I thought it was a decent opponent, but I didn't expect it to be just a soft-footed shrimp, hahaha, I just don't know if it can be captured alive by us!"
"Wait!" At this moment, the water blue mage's face suddenly changed, and he yelled: "No, let them evacuate quickly, there is a magic trap inside, which is about to detonate!"
"What?" Lord Doug heard this, his face suddenly changed, and he hurriedly wanted to order the troops to withdraw.
But alas, it was too late, with a rumbling sound, the castle in the distance flashed first red, then yellow, and in the tremor of the earth, the three towers more than a hundred meters high directly collapsed, collapsed, and turned into a large pile of rubble.
And most of the 3,000 cavalry who rushed in were in the middle of these three towers, so when the towers collapsed, they were buried alive inside.
Although the collapse of the building has kicked up a large amount of dust, so that the outside world cannot see what is going on inside.
But Lord Doug and Master Aqua Blue were both sensible people, and when they saw the three giant towers being built, they knew that the 3,000 troops were probably more than lucky.
"No~" Lord Doug let out a sad roar directly.
The Water Blue Mage, on the other hand, reacted much faster, and hurriedly cast a wind spell to blow away the dust in the sky, revealing the scene ahead.
It's miserable!
Of the original 3,000 majestic cavalry, only one or two hundred are still standing there, and another two or three hundred are lying on the ground, not knowing whether they are alive or dead.
As for the rest of the cavalry, they were all gone, and must have been buried in a hill-like pile of rubble.
"Hurry up and save people!" Master Aqua Blue ordered directly.
At this time, the infantry in front woke up like a dream, and hurriedly rushed forward with shouts, while saving the dead and helping the wounded, while desperately digging up the rubble, trying to get the cavalry buried underneath out.
You must know that these cavalry are fully armed, not only covered in armor, but also blessed with protective spells, so although they are smashed, they should not die on the spot, as long as they can be dug up, they should still be able to save some.
Of course, with such a large amount of work, if you want to dig it by hand, I am afraid it will take several days to dig out all the cavalry.
At that time, I am afraid that these people will be suffocated to death.
Therefore, the fastest way is to use a magician, as long as a few earth-based magic goes, you can tear up the rubble, so as to rescue the knights who were buried alive below.
Mage Aqua also understood this, so she immediately led the mage group towards the ruins, intending to save her cavalry companions as soon as possible.
