Chapter 501 It’s a done deal

The magic circle looks high-end, but in principle, it is very similar to a circuit board. It is just a channel for energy transmission. The only difference is that one guides electric current and the other guides magic power.

It is not easy to set up a magic circle. If there is any mistake, you have to start over. You can't be careless at all.

But it is very simple to destroy it. As long as a small part of it is damaged, the energy will accumulate excessively, and the magic circle will basically lose its function. And these excessively accumulated energies will eventually be released in the form of explosions.

Hill's troops acted separately, and they didn't care whether they could kill the mages who maintained the magic circle. When they found the magic circle, they threw a row of alchemical bombs at it, and then continued to rush to the next target without even looking at it.

The sound of explosions continued to echo in the Silver City, and one after another, the blocking magic circles were removed.

The generals guarding the city have returned to the royal city and are organizing troops to defend and fight street battles at various intersections. Of course, they also heard the explosions.

This is not a good sign.

Then the messengers kept sending back the news that the blocking magic circle was destroyed and the mages who maintained the magic circle suffered heavy losses.

The general's heart skipped a beat again.

It's bad, the last line of defense can't be defended.

Originally planned to defend the Silver City for a month, now it seems that it is a problem whether it can defend until nightfall.

After losing the barrier array, the soldiers who were still defending the other three gates on the city wall have become targets.

The general now doubts whether his own demon king's decision to join forces with the other three demon kingdoms to invade Avarus is right or not. This matter is very strange.

The Avarus Demon Kingdom and the Enwei Demon Kingdom have no territorial borders and no conflicts of interest. It is strange to suddenly send troops, but the desire for flat land made the Enwei Demon Kingdom not hesitate, and the general did not hesitate when he received the order.

Now think about it, it may be a wrong decision for the four countries to send troops at the same time, and the Enwei Demon Kingdom should not wade into the muddy water.

But it's too late to say these now. The general wants to go back and ask His Majesty the Demon King why, but the premise is that he can go back.

He immediately ordered the soldiers at the east and north gates to evacuate and enter the city to prepare for street fighting with Viola's army, and sent the reserve troops to defend the remaining barrier barriers, and save as many as possible.

As for the south gate, the general ordered to hide as much as possible, leaving only soldiers to keep the gate open. This is a retreat for the Enwei Demon Kingdom army.

Leaving a retreat itself means that there is already a plan to retreat, and there is no time to wait for the soldiers in the central part of the Avarus Demon Kingdom to come back. The general's most important task now is to ensure that the tens of thousands of soldiers under his command must not go wrong, otherwise the Enwei Demon Kingdom will not have any troops that can be mobilized for a long time.

This is an extremely dangerous signal.

The general who was giving orders immediately felt the light from the window dim. Through the window of the castle, he saw a huge arm that seemed to be able to support the world hanging from the clouds, and the fingers swept across the distant streets like itching. It is not difficult to imagine what this hand is doing.

Time is running out.

–‐‐——–‐‐——

After Viola’s soldiers entered the west gate, they did not launch an attack immediately, but rested on the spot. They waited until the fifth hour after the first horn sounded before they began to advance.

This undoubtedly gave the enemy time to prepare, but it also avoided the uncontrolled loss of personnel caused by reckless advance.

Recalling that when Viola was awakened by the noise in the palace and ran to the terrace to watch, the soldiers of the Four-Nation Alliance had already entered the city, and Viola could even see the helmets of the enemy soldiers.

But this situation is almost impossible to replicate, and it is impossible to push so fast under normal circumstances.

When the Four-Nation Alliance attacked the Silver City, it happened that most of the troops in the city followed Viola’s father to the front line, and the defense in the city was empty, so it was quickly broken under the attack of the Four-Nation Alliance.

Now, the Enwei Demon Kingdom Army still has combat effectiveness. Rushing in rashly is equivalent to being beaten. It is better to rest and recover physical strength.

Wendy took advantage of this time to redeploy and allocate the marching directions of different troops. She forgot that more than half of Viola's army came from the private soldiers of various lords. It was okay to attack the city outside, and everyone worked side by side. Once a small group of troops needed to advance on multiple fronts to enter the city, it was likely that there would be a quarrel because of the command rights of different nobles.

After all, it was now the most critical moment for the restoration of the country. These noble lords also wanted to make contributions to the establishment of the country, and each of them worked very hard.

Although some time was wasted, the pace of the attack was not fierce, but a gradual erosion policy was adopted, but the advancement speed was still not slow.

Especially when Wendy learned that the Enwei Demon Kingdom army had begun to retreat from the east and north gates and prepared to retreat for defense, she knew that the battle was basically won.

The other side had already made up their minds to retreat, and when there was a way out, people would not fight desperately. This is not only a military strategy, but also human nature.

The only thing to be on guard now is to prevent the enemy from causing too many casualties to Viola's army during the retreat. After all, there are still many troops of the Enwei Demon Kingdom in the central part, and soldiers will be needed to encircle and suppress them after the restoration of the kingdom.

Apart from anything else, Wendy is only worried about Viola now.

"Where is the princess?"

"Uh..."

The messenger hesitated, and Wendy understood at a glance.

She couldn't help but hold her forehead, this princess is really worrying...

–-——–--——

Although Wendy's order was to take steady steps and gradually erode, it was easy to get excited when fighting.

It was not only the nobles who wanted to make merit, the soldiers also wanted to make merit. Even if they could not become nobles, it was better to be an officer than a soldier.

This impetuous atmosphere was not good for the army, but they had reasons to be arrogant.

On some streets, Oldie summoned huge fireballs from the sky, directly blowing up the enemy positions at the street corners.

On some streets, the white dragon breathed out the dragon's breath, and the soldiers who tried to counterattack instantly turned into ice sculptures. Viola's army only had to follow up and smash them.

On other streets, several guard golems cut the tendons of war elephants in a few seconds. As the tall war elephants fell to the ground with a bang, the guard golems shouted:

"The will of the king guides my sword!"

"The pagans will die!"

"Your blood will decorate my armor!"

Then the soldiers rushed forward to finish off the enemy who had not yet died.

What's more, the streets were blocked by heavy crossbows, and then a huge arm fell from the sky, and with a light sweep, the whole street was quiet.

The decision to abandon the city wall and try to fight a street battle was not wrong. If it were an ordinary army, it would definitely be entangled, and it would not be able to be dealt with in a few days. At the same time, both the enemy and us would have to pay huge casualties.

But the current situation is not ordinary.

All the armies deployed at important nodes on the streets reported urgently. If it were placed on a map, it could almost be said that the entire line was in emergency.

The failure of the Enwei Demon Kingdom Army was almost a foregone conclusion, and it was impossible to turn the tables.
