Chapter 94 Strange War
After the banquet, new mages continued to come to this fortress, but no new banquets were organized. However, every time Master Roland told Shaoko the news about the imperial capital and other parties brought by these new people, it turned out that the Blue Feather Empire had begun crazy recruitment. After a short period of integration, a large number of soldiers with hereditary rights swept away the big or small robber forces along the way, and forced them to this fortress to face the upcoming war.
A few days after that banquet, when Shaoko had breakfast and was meditating, there were a burst of chaos outside. A soldier knocked on the door and told Shaoko Xin that the war had begun, and this time they had to go to the battlefield first because the enemy was about to attack.
During this year, Shaoko was too busy meditating and other related magical knowledge, so he still rode in a carriage. However, a large group of mages, including Master Roland and others, rode their war horses and went to the city to prepare for battle.
On the way to the city wall, Shaoke found a group of soldiers moving towards the city wall neatly and orderly, and there were not many pedestrians on the road. They wanted to free up enough space for the soldiers to march. Shaoke and his team quickly climbed up the city wall under the command of a third-level mage and hid in the stronger stone tower that had been built. After the third-level mage did all this, they blessed them with some sadness, "I wish you good luck!" and then left.
Among the stone towers, only Shaoko had experienced war in this fortress. The other two mages were new here and the other were transferred from other borders.
"Two, have you seen this window? As long as we find that there are warriors in the casting range, we don't need to cast spells to kill them. One person once, and the other two rest. Do you have any questions?" Shaoke took the initiative to act as the commentator and told them responsibly what he heard here. "Be careful of the ravage. One of my companions was injured by the ravage shot through the window." In order to increase the attention of the two mages, Shaoke had to change the environment in which the mage was injured. He was a little worried that the new mage often swayed at the window because he had done such a thing.
"No problem." The mage who was transferred from other places shook his head, "Who of us will come first?"
You!" Shaoke pointed to the new mage, "You should be able to see the difference between first-level warriors and second-level warriors, so you have to choose the right spell and don't panic. These warriors cannot rush to us under the entanglement of the soldiers."
The new mage nodded nervously, "I will be careful, will I call you after I release the spell?" As he said that, he leaned against the wall next to him, looking out through the window.
"Yeah!" Shaoke looked at the battlefield and found that there were no long-range offensive weapons on the entire city, and they were all melee soldiers. This made Shaoke's head a headache. He didn't know why this situation occurred. Could it be that the commanders were stunned?
"After you cast the spell, you will wake me up, and then go to the side to meditate with peace of mind, and call you again." Shaoke carefully observed the battlefield and did not find many warriors. Moreover, these warriors did not lean in front, but were faintly surrounding the stone tower of the mages.
"Woo... Woo!" A long horn sound came from the enemy's camp outside the city. Hundreds of red fireballs rushed into the sky and then exploded violently. A loud voice spread to the top of the city through several miles, "Occurrence! Attack!"
The entire enemy camp seemed to have come alive, and black figures surged out from all corners, and finally formed a long black line and pounced towards the city wall that stretched for several miles. Behind there were still a black line composed of crowds to replenish the front. The soldiers on the city became nervous. After all, who saw so many enemies rushing up were still afraid. Even with the guidance of old soldiers, there were still young soldiers who had never been on the battlefield who wanted to leave their position, but their actions soon stopped the veterans next to the wine glass with swords.
The siege equipment leaned against the city wall, and a large number of enemies rushed to the top of the city. Shaoke only felt his mind full of the collision of weapons, the sound of swords and axes falling into the bones, and the torn shouts. The soldiers from both sides began to fight on the wide city. From time to time, people rolled down to the city, but no one paid attention to them, because no one on the battlefield would be interested in what was under his feet, even if the other party was his companion.
The corpses on the top of the city slowly piled up, and were finally trampled into meat paste by the crazy soldiers or kicked to the city. Shaoke felt a little relaxed in his heart when facing this kind of battle because he neither saw the soldiers nor the threat of long-range attacks, and the huge stone casters did not see them on this battlefield. This made him not interested in the fight between ordinary soldiers.
The soldiers fought fiercely until noon, and then slowly retreated under the command of the officers behind them.
According to the rules, someone soon came up to clean up the corpses and weapons on the ground, and then started fighting again.
Shaoke observed and found that after these soldiers were fighting for magic, they retreated under the leadership of the officers, and then new soldiers rushed up to replace their vacancy. As for those soldiers in a crazy state, no one cares about their lives and death. If anyone rushed towards their own team, they would be killed without hesitation. However, there were not many such soldiers, because most of their families were hereditary soldiers, and they were trained to become qualified soldiers since childhood. The longer the family joined the army, the greater the advantage their descendants have when they became new recruits. After all, the experience accumulated over several generations will not be abandoned at will.
The mages were relatively relaxed, but the new mage was facing this situation for the first time, and it seemed very nervous. After all, this was not a battle of dozens of people, nor was it a battle of hunting monsters on the border, but a crazy battle of tens of thousands of people!
"You have a rest first. I'll observe the situation outside. You should learn to meditate in this situation. I think this method is easy to master." Shaoke looked at the other party holding the staff tightly and couldn't help but replace the decision just now. "I'll call you later. Don't worry, no one will rush here to hurt us." He said, pointing to the warriors and soldiers surrounding the stone towers outside.
The mage nodded, sat carefully next to another mage who was meditating, and successfully entered the meditation space under Shaoko's encouragement gaze.
After seeing the new mage being able to meditate, Shaoke felt relieved. He didn't want the other party to make any mistakes due to high mental tension during the battle.
Faced with the war, the mages in the rear were very bored. While enduring various shouts and the last wail when they lost their lives, Shaoke didn't know what the battle was for. He just knew that in just one morning, the entire city was covered with thick plasma, and the soldiers had rotated several rounds. Each time, only a small number of soldiers successfully retreated from the enemy's entanglement, and the rest would never be able to return to the safe area.
The first day of the war was as plain as boiled water in Shaoke's eyes. The soldiers on both sides kept fighting. Although it was tragic, the two sides did not use more advanced soldiers to join the battle. As for the reason, it was not what Shaoke guessed. After another mage meditated for a while, he replaced Shaoke to observe the battle on the city wall so that Shaoke could use meditation to restore his always nervous spirit.
Until the evening, there was not much change on the battlefield, and the mages had no chance to cast spells. After Shaoko returned to the tent, he found that Mage Roland was waiting for him in his room. "What new news?"
Facing Shaoke's straightforward question, Master Roland shook his head regretfully, "I don't know, I asked many mages, but no mage knew what was going on. Tomorrow, Master Xueye, tomorrow I will go to the top of the city to watch the soldiers fighting each other." Master Roland rubbed his face in annoyance, because he had been maintaining the old-fashioned etiquette that a mage should have on the top of the city all day today.
In the next few days, the mages will guard the city every day, but there will never be any enemy soldiers. The long bloody scenes make Shaoke feel bored every time he arrives at the city. The other two mages are in bad condition, especially the new mage, who is even pale today, and they arrive in the stone tower. Shaoke and the other two mages shook their heads for a while and don’t know how to solve it, so they have to let him meditate. However, the young mage retreated from the meditation space several times in mental disorder, and also caused severe turmoil in the meditation space.
The mage's exit seemed to give a signal to the enemy commander. Shaoke, who was observing the opponent's attack, suddenly found that the offensive was much more violent, and the warriors appeared. Shaoke didn't know if this was the case in other city sections, but he knew that he had to use spells to attack and kill the warrior.
‘Elemental Blessing’, ‘Spirit Casting Focus’ After the two auxiliary spells were quickly released onto him, Shaoke began to attack the opponent with the first-level ‘scam rays’. After just hunting a warrior, several more warriors rushed to the top of the city. Seeing that their fighting spirits were all below the second level, another mage who was still on the battlefield planned to replace Shaoke for killing, but after missing a mage, Shaoke changed his previous casting method. He planned to spend half of his magic or mental power before another mage could be replaced, so that he could have enough time to meditate.
The soldiers on the alpine side rushed up quickly, and with Shaoko's uninterrupted sneak attack, they quickly killed a group of soldiers who climbed the city. Those soldiers helped to kill first-level soldiers and desperately resisted the continuous attacks of enemy soldiers. The war on the entire city became even more bloody because of the soldiers' joining.
Locking the target and releasing the spell, Shaoko was tensely hunting the opponent's warriors one by one. The scorching ray. When Shaoko released this spell again, he suddenly felt the meditation fluctuations in the mental space suddenly became chaotic. After the magic structure that had just formed in his hand had not yet been injected with enough mental power and magic, it began to dissipate.
The leakage of a large amount of magic energy suddenly woke up another mage who was awakened by the side, "Quick, stop meditation." When the mage advised, Shaoke began to try to stop meditation. After spending the mental power of a second-level spell, he successfully stopped the chaotic meditation.
