The murlocs screamed as they charged towards the front of the Colomier Magic Tower. The three of them, who were hidden under the Night Barrier, stared at the glowing Magic Tower in a daze.
"What the hell is going on? Looks like we're in big trouble … "
"Just now, the Magister on the magic tower was actually having a magic duel with the monster. This is something that has never happened in the history of Duriel."
"Stop sighing, you two." The assassin Ethan had the best eyesight. He frowned and said, "There are too many monsters out there. We can't leave even if we want to, and we can't find the target now. What should we do?"
The three of them originally wanted to catch up with Roddy's team on horseback, but they encountered the "Female Worms" that fell from the sky not long after. After the three of them killed two of them, they realized that if they continued to chase after Roddy, they would definitely encounter more similar monsters. So, they simply stopped and found a high point to hide.
This way, they would be much safer.
"Let's not move for now. The mission target actually said that he has a way to deal with this monster, so he should be near the Magic Tower. He hasn't left the city yet."
"That's strange … The council didn't deal with the enemy, but instead sent an outsider to join in the fun?"
They also saw the words that Houdini typed in the sky, so they were curious. If Roddy was a sorcerer from Lassiman, all this could be attributed to "patriotism." But a foreign emissary that they had never heard of actually rushed to put himself in danger. It was really hard to understand.
"If he dies on the battlefield, it'll save us a lot of trouble."
Sorcerer Bretton used his staff to maintain the barrier. The three of them were obviously very good at hiding themselves. Under the cover of the inconspicuous Night Barrier, the ancient sea monsters and the murlocs or "Female Worms" that wandered on the street did not notice their existence.
"What do we do now?"
"Wait for the opportunity. If there's no opportunity, wait for the next one."
This sentence had always been the standard for the three of them. Since the situation was tense and the target was nowhere to be seen, they would not make a move and wait for the enemy to exhaust themselves. For assassins, as long as they maintained the initiative of "the enemy is in the light while we are in the dark", there would always be an opportunity.
"Okay."
"No problem."
After the tacit agreement, the three of them returned to silence. However, when they quietly looked at the sea monster not far away, they all shrank their bodies. The mountain-like body in the darkness seemed to have changed again.
As the second and third batch of "Female Worms" returned to the "Mother," more energy and Magic crystal were absorbed, the ancient sea monster's body became brighter again.
Rings of light began to move from the bottom to the top. If one was close enough, one could clearly see that the tentacles that had been lost to block the Gigantic Flame Blast and the light ball were rapidly recovering. At the same time, the newly grown tentacles were clearly longer and more agile than before.
Its body, which had been soaking in the sea, began to move towards the shore at a faster speed due to the increase in its strength. The water flowed to the sides, and what followed was the sound of the pier's wooden buildings being crushed. The creaking sounds from afar were continuous, but they were soon replaced by an even louder buzzing sound …
Compared to the previous "Beast", the speed at which it gathered energy was much faster this time. After the white light flashed seven or eight times, a larger orange "Beast" shot out, leaving a long trail in the air as it headed straight for the "Colomier" Magic Tower!
"Hum —"
The mages at the top of the Magic Tower were on high alert. They had already prepared three layers of shields. However, they did not expect the "Beast" to suddenly explode the moment it got close to the Magic Tower, splitting into more than ten small objects.
In order to ensure its strength, the shield used to block the projectiles could not cover the entire magic tower at all. In addition, it was cast by many people, so there was no time to change it at this moment. The group of mages could only watch as five or six of the projectiles hit the unprotected tower.
"Boom boom boom …"
Broken rocks and dirt flew everywhere. The "Beast" relied on its speed and momentum. Other than two of the "Beast" bouncing off the curved edge, the other three smashed three large holes in the "Colomier"!
The "Beast" had a diameter of more than four meters after it split, and was more than ten times more powerful than a normal catapult. Coupled with the magical waves it carried, the tower was set ablaze after the impact. Screams and wails could be heard.
Just as the mages were about to retaliate, they realized that the "Beast" in the distance had spat out another "Beast"!
The two "Beasts" were shot out less than twenty seconds apart. The mages immediately felt an indescribable pressure. In order to prevent the enemy from launching a scattered attack like before, the archmages immediately organized a larger shield to defend themselves. However, this time, the Lightning Bolt did not split. Instead, it maintained its complete form and ruthlessly smashed into the shield that was weakened due to the increased surface area!
"Crack!"
The shield shattered, and the "Beast" continued to charge at the top of the Magic Tower!
"Spread out!"
At this moment, none of the mages had the time to cast their spells. It took at least five seconds to cast a spell in a group. In this situation, who would dare say that they could block a "Beast" with a diameter of more than fifteen meters?
So they used their life-saving skills without hesitation. Not a single one of the more than twenty figures scattered at the top of the Magic Tower was hit, but with a "Boom!", the top of the "Colomier" Magic Tower was smashed into pieces!
Under the violent impact, one-fifth of the top of the Magic Tower was shattered into pieces! As the top of the Magic Tower was the area where a large number of core magic circles and command rooms were densely packed, the "Magic Tower" almost instantly rendered most of the magic circles in the Magic Tower useless. The apprentices and servants who could not dodge in time were killed without a whole corpse. The spells that were supposed to relieve the pressure on the frontline were all suspended. The lack of firepower immediately made the murloc's attack more severe.
More importantly, although most people were used to "atheism", the erection of the Magic Tower was undoubtedly a spiritual totem in their hearts. Now that the top of the Magic Tower was smashed, the flashing lights and magic circles were all extinguished. The effect was not as simple as the "Magic Shield" disappearing, but the morale of the murloc had once again collapsed!
Roddy, who was under the Magic Tower, could clearly hear the sorrowful cries and screams of the mages around him. He even saw some grabbing their hair and crying out loud. All of this was no different from the cries of believers when they saw a holy statue being smashed.
So at this moment, the only ones who remained calm on the battlefield were the surviving envoys from the other countries.
"What do we do now?! We can't hold on much longer! "
Little Khan Duke, who was wearing leather armor, asked loudly. His line of defense was right next to Erwin and the others. The barbarians could block the enemies, but it was much more difficult for them to defend. Therefore, they had no choice but to turn their attention to Roddy.
"Request reinforcements!"
"Requesting backup!"
At the same time, a few other people shouted at the same time. The shouts of 'Uluuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu!
This was because only Roddy's troops were able to completely crush the enemy in terms of strength. Wherever they really couldn't hold on, as long as David's Mobile Cavalry Team made a round, they would be able to withstand the bombardment of a few Mages.
Akasha's continuous healing spells greatly alleviated the damage on the battlefield. Not to mention, Merinsala and Sylvia led the dozen or so mages who had regained their composure from time to time to clear out the enemy. To put it simply … If Roddy's troops weren't running around and giving commands, the so-called 'line of defense' would be a joke.
Strength was obtained through fighting. Without the Lassiman Council's participation, everyone who participated in the battle could feel where the soul of the entire army was.
Roddy frowned. He reached out his hand to brush off the dust that had fallen on his head. He realized that if he didn't use some special methods, it would be difficult for him to hold on. Those who managed to escape from the port were basically all mages who had exhausted their magic power. They could not be said to be of much help to the front line. They could only maintain and repair the "ice walls" and "earth walls" that had been constructed.
Looking for reinforcements? There were no reinforcements at all, unless …
"Akasha!"
He suddenly shouted, then pointed at his finger. Akasha immediately understood that he was referring to the 'Light of Arcane Magic: Revival' skill on her ring … or rather, the 'Necromancy' spell that she had never used before.
With the increasing number of enemies, this was indeed the only way to temporarily strengthen the line of defense.
Akasha originally didn't want to use this skill in Lassiman, but now that the situation was critical, and with Roddy's permission, she no longer had any qualms. Ignoring the shock of the soldiers around her, she rushed to the front of the line. She reached out and put the white scepter into the pocket of her backpack. At the same time, she reached out and pulled out the bone staff from the necromancer Yogesa.
Waves that were completely different from divine spells swept out. The first spell she cast was the 'Resurrection of the Dead' skill that she had learned on her own. Then, she raised her palm and cast 'Light of Arcane Magic: Revival' on the corpse-strewn battlefield …
