Behind the Archmage, Rowling stared blankly at his actions. Her mind was filled with the words he had shouted out in a moment of desperation. It was obvious that the person who had made the decision was not the Archmage himself. He was merely the one carrying out the order, and the person who had given the order could only be one person …
That person was her father, Charles II.
When danger came, it turned out that her father only cared about his two sons?
Rowling looked down at her sister who was at a loss, and then back at her mother who had closed her eyes in despair. She felt as if something in her heart had completely shattered.
But just as the Archmage tore open the scroll, the sudden blue light enveloped the two of them. The scroll seemed to have received some kind of interference, and the messy space-time turbulence suddenly went out of control. An invisible force smashed the vases on both sides. As the initiator, the Archmage suffered a slight backlash. He staggered a few steps back, then clenched his wand and whispered, "Spell Disruption … Damn it, did the enemy have a Archmage with them?!"
Outside the tightly shut door, the footsteps of the soldiers were already very close. He waved his wand and forcibly used magic to freeze the entire door and the wall into a huge block of ice. But just as he finished casting the spell, he realized that there was someone at the window next to him. He immediately pointed his wand, but before he could cast the spell stored in it, the tip of the wand was directly broken by Kardashian …
"I don't like being pointed at with a wand."
Crack! The elements that exploded were instantly suppressed by some kind of invisible force on the spot, and then directly dissipated in the air. The Archmage wanted to say something, but after seeing Kardashian's dragon horn, he immediately let go of his wand and threw the remaining half to the side …
"Your Excellency, I didn't mean to offend —"
He was very clear that if he started a conflict with the Dragons at this distance, he would definitely have a death wish.
"Your Excellency Kardashian!" Rowling's eyes lit up. She had been chatting with him for the past two days. She originally thought that the Dragons would not help the royal family at all, but now it seemed that was not the case.
Upon hearing her voice, Kardashian turned to look at the members of the Cullen Royal Family. The other four sword-wielding guards in the room had no intention of making a move. After all, they knew that the Dragons were on the same side as the Cullen Royal Family.
"Don't worry, I will ensure your safety."
Kardashian turned around and smiled at Rowling. Then, with a point of her finger, the ice crystals that froze the door instantly shattered into countless pieces. The door was smashed open by Efta's soldiers. Armed with swords and shields, they rushed into the room in shiny silver armor and surrounded everyone.
Rowling and the others were so nervous that they didn't even dare to breathe. Just when they thought that Kardashian was going to start a massacre in the next second, the Dragon Spear Knight, who was the last to enter the house, sheathed his sword and gave a military salute.
"Reporting, sir! Mission complete! "
"Stay here for the time being. Just wait for the news in front of you."
Kardashian turned her head and looked at the stunned royal family. She smiled and said, "I promised to ensure your safety. Naturally, I won't go back on my word."
After she finished speaking, she raised her hand and clenched her fist. A blue formation instantly appeared beneath the feet of the Grand Magus beside her. Before the Grand Magus could even realize what was happening, countless ice chains had bound him firmly from the bottom up. The Grand Magus desperately tried to mobilize his magic power, but he discovered that it was all futile.
Kardashian didn't even look at him. She just continued to look at Rowling and said, "Just stay here. This war will be over soon."
After saying that, she directly jumped onto the windowsill. After taking a step, she transformed into a giant dragon and suddenly flew in the direction of Enrique City …
*****
At this moment, it was close to noon.
In Enrique City, all the soldiers were ready for battle. The soldiers led by the nobles were divided into different echelons according to their respective territories. They also received their own "designation" — it was obvious that this city was about to stage a siege. And as the defending side, the most important task was to resist the waves of the enemy's attacks.
In order to prevent the situation of "soldiers not knowing the general, and the general not knowing the soldiers", this kind of formation based on the lord could effectively improve the cohesion and combat effectiveness of defending the city. And in order to prolong the war, food and supplies transported from all over the place had been piled up into a mountain near the small square in the north of the inner city. Obviously, Queio was planning to rely on defending to the death to wear down Eiffta's logistics. If there was an opportunity, the ready cavalry would naturally go out of the city to expand the victory.
Once the battle started, the royal army would cooperate with the "Viper Cross" lying in ambush in the northeast of the battlefield. It was very likely that they would directly defeat the enemy!
If Eiffta's people attacked the "Viper Cross" first, then after the enemy's formation changed, facing Enrique City would naturally show their weakness. In this way, Queio would definitely press forward with tens of thousands of troops. Together with the magic bombardment of the mages, it would also be an advantageous situation.
On such a battlefield, no matter how they fought, they would not be at a disadvantage. Therefore, he could be said to be very relaxed. As the "command center," Queio and Charles II stayed alone in a specially built large tent on the city wall. In this way, it was still nominally "Charles II holding down the fort and commanding", while a few mages and great nobles stayed outside, waiting for orders at any time.
Inside the tent, Charles II naturally sat respectfully at the side, obediently waiting for Queio's orders. Queio was in a good mood today, so he was more talkative than usual. "The enemy's letter of challenge says that the battle will start at noon today, but in reality? It's just a pretense. Roddy is a guy who will use any means to achieve his goals. He won't fight fair and square. "
"Sir Lord is right. Four years ago, he was just a nobody. How could he have any sense of honor as an aristocrat in his head? This kind of country bumpkin might even sell his parents just for a mouthful of food. "
Charles II naturally followed Queio's words and flattered him, but he was still a little nervous. He asked again, "Sir Lord … What about the Viper Cross?"
"They are suitable bait. We can directly test the enemy's trump card."
Queo sat on a spacious armchair. For him, after worrying about the matters of the Dragon Tribe, fighting on the side of the humans was like playing a game. It could even be said that it was a kind of relaxation for him. Queo sat on a spacious armchair. In any case, the more obedient the puppet of the royal family was, the better it would be. So now he was quite interested in explaining his strategy to Queio. After all, under his command, the Kingdom of Karen's troops shone with unprecedented efficiency and halo. It was indeed something to show off.
After listening to such words, Charles II also felt at ease. The Viper Cross's troops did not completely obey the royal family's orders. The agreement they reached with Charles II was only to "assist in the attack." There was no simple relationship between superior and subordinate. So now that the battle was about to start, the cooperation with the Viper Cross could only be discussed. Also, because of the slow communication, it would take half a day to send a message back and forth.
This tent was not enclosed. The side facing north could directly see the position of the Eiferta army. The distance between the two sides was about 1,800 meters. This distance was just outside the effective range of the crossbows and catapults on the city wall.
"That should be the Viper Cross."
Looking up, Queio pointed to a small team that suddenly appeared in the distance. Charles II's eyesight was certainly not as good as the Dragons. He could only see a small group of black shadows on the horizon. But based on the movement speed of the other party, he could roughly determine that it was a cavalry unit. Queio casually said, "Since they have begun to probe, we can't fall behind. Send three teams to circle around their position and take a look. Just don't rush too close."
Charles II only nodded when he received the order. He then walked out of the tent and coughed twice. "Pass down the order. Let Viscount Avalla send out three teams of light cavalry to circle around the enemy's position to investigate the situation. Be careful not to go too close. Be careful of their long-range weapons!"
"Yes! Your Majesty! "
In front of others, Charles II naturally had to act like a high and mighty monarch. But when he returned to the tent, his expression became humble again. At this time, a Falcon reconnaissance aircraft flew over the sky. Charles II had never seen this thing before. He curiously asked, "My Lord, what is this creature?"
Queio narrowed his eyes and stared at it for a long time without saying a word.
*****
"You cowardly mice! Do you only dare to hide in the sewers!? "
Outside the position of the Eiffel Infantry Division known as the "Battery", more than a hundred meters away from the first layer of trenches, the Viper Cross Cavalry stopped and loudly cursed.
This was actually a typical battle tactic in the era of cold weapons. When a battle started, both sides would usually send out their powerful lords to confront each other. But the situation on the battlefield was ever-changing. Not all sides could be evenly matched. The main force of the Viper Cross Cavalry was still three kilometers away, moving towards this place. The Eiffel soldiers were at ease waiting for the exhausted. Because the terrain here was slightly higher, Pope Dai Ze naturally sent people to disturb them to see if he could disrupt the opponent's rhythm.
The Viper Cross Cavalry that rushed over had different equipment, but they were all marked by white cloaks or jumpers, so they were very conspicuous on the battlefield. In fact, they had already been circling here and cursing for a long time. But the Eiffel troops were different from any other troops they had faced before. No matter how they provoked them, the enemies in front of them were like cold stones, unresponsive.
And they were also different from the previous enemies. Under normal circumstances, the infantrymen should be standing in a row at the front. But most of the people in front of them were standing in deep trenches dug out from the ground, only their heads sticking out.
