Chapter 0252 War Game
The next day.
From dawn, the siege began again.
Thousands of people gathered in front of the Rockor Castle. The front row of soldiers held square shields and simple but thick wooden boards on their heads, and slowly approached the castle gate. Behind them were militiamen wearing light leather armor, holding spears and bows.
As for the guards belonging to Lord Tras, they still stayed in front of the camp and did not move out. They were all heavy infantry wearing heavy armor, holding heavy oak shields, and equipped with heavy weapons such as flails, swords, and maces.
From a distance, they looked like a group of terrifying killing machines wrapped in heavy steel!
There were not many of them, only more than 300 people.
But these more than 300 heavy armored warriors were the elite troops that Lord Tras spent ten years to build after he was aggressive and exhausted all the resources in the territory. In the small wars launched against the surrounding lords, Trass used this invincible iron chariot to flatten three or four baronies and made a great reputation.
However, considering that there are many wizard apprentices on the Rockor Castle today, in order to avoid damage to the elite troops, Viscount Trass can only send the armed militia and mercenaries who assist him first, hoping to use them to consume the magic power of the opponent's apprentices first.
Soon, the battle started when the enemy entered the 50-meter range in front of the city wall!
Dense arrows like locusts poured down from the city wall, mixed with many rockets. Although there is a movable roof to block the rain of arrows, people are still constantly shot and fell between the gaps of thick wooden boards. Clusters of flames jumped on the wooden boards, burning the dry wood with crackling sounds.
Finally, the siege troops that continued to advance were sniped by the defending wizard apprentices.
Three witchcraft fireballs dragging billowing black smoke and two light green acid balls flew down from the city wall in a long arc and landed at the vanguard of the siege troops.
The witchcraft fireballs that suddenly exploded immediately covered an area of 10 meters in radius. All the attacking soldiers in the area instantly turned into firemen, dropped their weapons, and ran around in the team in a daze.
The area where the acid ball fell was visibly exploded with a circle of green acid mist, and all the soldiers who were contaminated by the acid mist screamed like wolves and ghosts. The exposed flesh and blood of a human soldier who was drenched by the acid quickly melted with a sizzling sound, and turned into a pile of scattered charred bones in the blink of an eye.
And more soldiers only had a little acid splashed on their leather armor and clothes. However, such an attack, as long as the part contaminated by the acid is cut off in time, the damage to the human body is far less fatal than the witchcraft fireball.
Faced with the terrible witchcraft attack, the soldiers in the advancing team became hesitant, and the speed of advancement became slower and slower.
The commander of the army in the rear roared loudly.
At his urging, the soldiers with only simple protective gear shouted in unison and accelerated the advancement speed again.
When the siege troops advanced another twenty steps, the second wave of witchcraft attacks came again.
However, almost at the same time as the second wave of attacks, five huge fireballs suddenly rose from the advancing team and flew to a certain place on the city wall.
Witchcraft was just triggered there!
Somewhere on the city wall.
A senior apprentice of the Salupo family just threw a witchcraft fireball, and saw five fierce witchcraft fireballs dragging long tails flying towards him quickly.
"Come and protect me!"
The senior apprentice quickly dodged backwards while desperately blessing himself with defensive witchcraft. And around him, five or six castle guards raised large shields and quickly blocked the apprentice behind them.
Boom, boom, boom...
The five witchcraft fireballs that exploded almost in sequence showed the violence of the elemental flames. The terrible damage caused by the superposition of energy was not something that a mere metal shield could defend against.
The violent and ferocious ring of flames exploded on the city wall, instantly turning everything within ten meters into powder, and then burning it to ashes while being thrown out.
The seven castle guards who stood in front of the senior apprentice died instantly, and even their bodies were blown to pieces. In the area covered by the witchcraft fireball, only the senior apprentice escaped in a panic with a burnt face.
The senior apprentice who escaped by chance quickly hid in the crowd, while taking out hemostatic ointment and healing potion from his arms and quickly healing himself.
Damn it, these apprentices of the Mikan family are playing dirty!
The apprentices of the Salupo family on the city wall immediately became furious, and immediately threw witchcraft fireballs at the hiding area of the other party like crazy. The opponent was not to be outdone, holding up colorful defensive magic, dodging and quickly counterattacking.
For a moment, the walls were full of exploding magic fireballs!
Grimm stood silently in a luxurious bedroom on the third floor of the castle, lifted a corner of the curtain and looked at the battlefield in front of him from a distance, and couldn't help frowning slightly.
Somewhat unexpected!
Not unexpectedly strong, but unexpectedly weak!
Having just experienced the bloody storm of the plane war, now suddenly returning to the wizard world and experiencing the family war here, I only feel that both the intensity of the war and the power of magic are far less than the blood and cruelty of the plane war.
However, more differences seem to be reflected in the determination of fighting will!
On the plane battlefield, it is either you die or I die. Once the battle fails, in addition to your own death, even the world you live in will become a secondary plane that others can arbitrarily ravage. Therefore, the natives of the plane fight extremely bravely, and it can be said that they will not stop until they die.
But the battlefield in front of us is soft and loose, just like playing house.
The soldiers of both sides who participated in the battle may know that they are not the protagonists of the battlefield, so they are more cautious than aggressive. There are more than 1,500 people on the city wall, but the most intense battle and the most casualties are caused by the ten wizard apprentices.
Since the start of the war, most of the hundreds of people who died were accidentally injured when the wizard apprentices attacked each other! The soldiers who really fell under the crossbows are less than 30% of the total number of deaths.
"Boring game!" Grimm put down the curtains casually and murmured dissatisfiedly.
Sitting back at the wooden table, Grimm continued to play with the heart core of the 2nd level Molten Giant, while the chip in his mind was processing a large amount of data in the database at high speed.
The rune knowledge he obtained from the drawing room of the Magic Forging Camp in the Knight Kingdom was undoubtedly comprehensive and detailed. With it, Grimm was able to initially glimpse some of the deep mysteries of energy fusion.
However, those runes were all knowledge from other planes, and if they wanted to be transplanted to the wizard world for use, they still needed constant exploration and exploration. So as soon as he returned to the wizard world, Grimm was calculating and estimating frantically almost day and night.
Among the 173 special runes obtained from the knight plane, 122 common basic runes and 23 variant runes were removed, and the remaining 28 runes were brand new runes that had never appeared in the wizard world. So if Grimm wanted to use these rune knowledge in the wizard world, he could only explore little by little to find out the possible variant forms and functions of these 28 new runes in the wizard world.
Therefore, these days, his mind was full of strange runes flying all over the sky. With the high-speed and efficient operation of the chip, every time a new rune is analyzed, Grimm needs to constantly apply and verify it at all levels and angles to determine whether this newly calculated rune can replace those runes from other worlds.
And this is undoubtedly extremely time-consuming and energy-consuming!
After returning to the wizard world from the other world, Grimm has met the goblin Kirby once.
Grimm handed over most of the useless resources he seized to Kirby to operate, and he also took back the element crystal cores collected during this period from Kirby. Among the 98 element crystal cores, only 56 are suitable for transformation into magic puppets, and 34 of them are at the quasi-witch level and 21 are advanced. What makes Grimm most happy is that there is even a wizard-level heart core of the poisonous system.
Grimm's magic puppet army can be said to have been exhausted in the battlefield of the other plane and is in urgent need of replenishment. At present, except for the Fire Lord, he has no other available magic puppets, which will undoubtedly reduce his combat power by more than 30%.
However, the crisis of the Salubo family forced him to run around, and he had no chance to calm down and replenish his magic puppet army. This undoubtedly made him more irritable.
Before leaving this time, Grimm used his authority to exchange a wizard-level meditation technique at the wizard tower in Fednan City. This alone cost him 20,000 magic crystals and 7 points of family contribution. But he fought hard in the other plane this time, and only got 100,000 magic crystals and 20 points of family contribution.
However, judging from the effect after meditation, it is worth paying such a price.
The mental power that had not moved before finally showed some changes. This is undoubtedly a great encouragement for him. As long as he persists day after day, there is a possibility of increasing his mental power to 20 points!
And reaching 20 points of mental power is also one of the basic conditions for promotion to a level 2 wizard.
According to the chip's estimation, without any external assistance, relying solely on daily meditation, Grimm wants to increase his mental power from the current 6.3 to 20, and the shortest time is 171 years. And this is the effect achieved after the chip has optimized meditation to the greatest extent.
And those ordinary wizards who have no resources and no knowledge have to be busy with daily witchcraft and run around to collect resources and knowledge. If they want to reach the limit of 20 points of mental power through meditation, it will probably take at least 300 years.
Like the Anderson wizard that Grimm knows, he has been promoted for two or three hundred years, but his mental power is only 9 points, which is far from the limit of 20 points. This may be the biggest reason why he took the risk and wanted to use the blood sacrifice ceremony to rush!
If he didn't do this, with the strength of Anderson wizard, he would definitely be the fastest to die in the plane war!
Just as Grimm stretched out his hand and repeatedly drew a strange green rune in the void, footsteps sounded outside the bedroom door, and the voice of the maid sounded immediately.
"Lord Grimm, Lord Korgan wants you to come!"
"Is the war about to start?"
"Yes! Lord Korgan asked you to be prepared!"
"Got it!"
Grimm waved his hand to disperse the unstable new rune, and lowered his head to examine his equipment. When he was sure that everything was complete, he opened the door and strode out. chapter;
