"I reckon there will be a lot of captives. Let's keep her for now and verify her statement later."
Roddy walked to the magic circle after he finished speaking, and began to write down the information he had just obtained. "Anti-magic" was a very broad concept, but after Zhao Yan understood the specific mechanism of this weapon, he would naturally not be like Lachman's troops, who could only charge in blindly.
At this moment, Roddy could see Lachman's troops outside Lasha City had begun their probing attack. Of course, the 4,000 troops were not used to attack the city. The commander of Lachman's troops was no fool. He seemed to know that the soldiers had assembled long-range weapons like catapults to attack the city walls from afar, and at the same time, there were many fireballs with bright trajectories.
Such a scene naturally attracted the attention of the other mages. However, they realized that only a few of the fireballs exploded within the city walls. Those that landed on the city walls were completely extinguished the moment they got close to the city walls. There was no fire or smoke at all.
"What's going on?"
Roddy asked Mag directly, and the latter answered immediately, "It's, it's because the priests on the city walls smashed those fruits to create an anti-magic zone. After every cannonball is smashed, the effect will last for about two hours. Regardless of whether it's the fireball or any other magic, it will be destroyed within the zone. "
This explanation was basically the same as what Roddy had guessed. Obviously, the Tuks' use of "anti-magic" was still very primitive. None of them could summon the "anti-magic zone" like Pan Da's priests. As long as there were no shards or cannonballs embedded in the shards, everything would be fine.
Just as he had this thought, Roddy saw the notification of "mission completed" on the mission panel. He blinked as he activated the teleportation of the documents on the magic circle. He opened the "mission panel" again and again, and realized that the first step of the "save the Tuks" mission had actually been completed …
"Through your investigation, you found out that the appearance of the Tuks on this battlefield is closely related to the unknown shards. The appearance of the" anti-magic zone "is not a coincidence. What caused them to attack Lachman, and what do these shards mean?"
Roddy did not expect to complete the first step of the mission after asking a few questions from the prisoners of war. Now, the target of this series of missions was obviously those shards. He had already received the EXP reward for the quest. At the same time, the reward for the second step of the series was still EXP. It seemed that there was still no value in completing it.
However, Roddy would not complain about the lack of EXP. On the other hand, his reputation with the Thukk Tribe had inexplicably increased by 400 points, indicating 'Neutral'.
"What is the meaning of all this …"
Roddy was baffled and closed the mission panel. His attention was not on the task at all. When he looked up at the city of Rasia again, he found that the besieging troops were still throwing stones and casting magic projectiles to test the situation. It seemed that they were trying to find out the pattern of the anti-magic area.
As the sky gradually darkened, the commotion in the distance gradually died down. The troops on the periphery were either gathering or eating. They didn't seem to be in a hurry.
"Do you guys fight like this?"
Rody finally could not help but ask a few sorcerers who were busy at the side.
Anderson's face twitched, and he explained, "In fact, under normal circumstances, when attacking a city, we only need to cover it with a group of spells, and then prepare to climb the city wall … But now, because of the enemy's anti-magic method, that — we have tried many times before …"
This sorcerer obviously felt that this unconventional method of war was a little embarrassing. He knew that the Prime Minister in front of him was not a politician who only knew how to hide in a tower, but a strong man who had truly commanded a war between nations. Not feeling ashamed to ask, he asked in a low voice, "Prime Minister Rody, how do you think this war should be fought?"
"Me? I have the right to give advice to the army, but the specific way to fight depends on how my general decides. "
Of course, Roddy would not reveal his plan now, and what he said was actually right — the real planning of the specific attack tactics was Sodelor. Since he had given the command to Sodelor, he would not interfere.
Roddy knew the story of how Chiang Kai-shek's blind command led to chaos in the war. As a modern person, although he knew the general direction of the war, the specific execution had to be carried out by the frontline generals. If he interfered in everything, it would only delay things.
Anderson blinked for a long time, not knowing how to answer for a while … Because Lassman's fighting style had indeed exposed many problems.
Roddy did not continue talking about this, and instead began to inspect the progress of the construction. The efficiency of the five high-ranked mages was far greater than any engineering team, and in less than a day, the outline of a huge runway had appeared in front of them.
The mages relied on skilled spells, using magic to turn up the ground, then scattered it, mixed it with a certain amount of water and compacted it, and then used magic to solidify it. According to the level of the mages' magic, they could make the soil as hard as cement for a week.
Anderson and the others had put in a lot of effort, and Roddy naturally would not mistreat them. Outside the Shadow Baby Dragon's cabin, there was also a lot of food and all kinds of clothes, and even cups and cutlery for daily use. At this time, Natha had already baked the bread and bacon, and even made a pot of meat soup, and placed it on the table that was condensed by earth elements.
"Prime Minister, I have a question, but I'm not sure if I can ask — is this place used as a drill ground? Or is it used to store those war machines? "
Anderson used magic to condense a water ball to wash his hands. After cleaning himself up, he opened his mouth to ask.
Roddy nodded happily. "You can say that. Because the things that are parked there are bigger, the space is more exaggerated. Everyone, you have worked hard. Come, let's eat first. "
He invited the mages to sit down, and then the eight captives, Mag, and the others had dinner together.
Although he did not use any magic to restrict her freedom, Mag obviously knew the power of high-ranked mages. From the beginning to the end, he only dared to look around anxiously, and did not dare to do anything else.
"According to today's progress, how long will it take to finish?"
"Another three days."
Anderson obviously had a plan, but Roddy asked, "What about at night?"
"Huh? Do we continue even when it's dark? "
The other mages' faces darkened. They were not coolies. Although they had enough magic power, they could not stand standing here for a whole day.
However, Anderson knew that this prime minister would not speak without thinking. After thinking for a while, he said in a low voice, "If we can take turns to rest, we should be able to meet your standards by noon the day after tomorrow."
"If it's possible, then please finish it as soon as possible."
Roddy immediately said, "I solemnly promise that if you can finish it by noon the day after tomorrow, your salary will be tripled. At the same time, I will provide you with 30 standard recharging crystals and one kilogram of cobalt gold for free."
"R-really?"
"That's no problem!"
With such a profit motive, the mages suddenly felt that the work was not that heavy — it was just repetitive work anyway, they could just grit their teeth and do it!
Roddy nodded with satisfaction, and then looked up at the stars above his head …
Raxia City was just the first step of the whole attack.
The land under their feet might be a place that Lassman would tremble in fear for in the future.
