The guard captain had followed Baron Brent for ten years. Naturally, he knew some of Baron Brent's secrets. This time, the baron hid in this remote castle on the surface to avoid the epidemic. However, the real reason was that he was afraid of being punished for his actions in the future, so he hid here.
Now, it was obvious that the baron was preparing to fight back. However, judging from the current strength of the knights, they would be nothing more than fodder.
"I order you! Shoot the arrows! " Seeing the leader of the guards hesitating, the baron's personal guard's face became even more stern.
However, he didn't expect his voice to be so loud that the knights outside the castle could hear him.
"Boss, they want to attack. Should we …" Spencer looked at the castle not far away and said to Hunter. At the same time, he made a chopping gesture. The knights were not obedient children who would not fight back. Moreover, these people wanted to attack them.
Hunter coldly looked at the personal guard on the castle wall. He then waved his hand at the knights behind him. "Attack!"
The knights who were already prepared immediately pulled out their weapons and rushed forward. At this time, the leader of the guards on the castle wall had not made up his mind to attack.
"Captain, this is bad!"
"The knights are attacking!" Just when the baron's personal guard's patience was at its limit, a guard suddenly shouted.
The knights were very fast. Two of them rushed to the castle gate and jumped off their horses. They had already jumped onto the suspension bridge and swung their swords at the chains of the suspension bridge. Large amounts of sparks flew out of the rusty chains and a deep cut was left on it. Then, the two knights turned their swords and slashed at the chains again. Within a breath's time, they had already slashed at the chains five to six times.
Finally, after a series of screeching sounds, the chains holding the suspension bridge were broken in half. Then, the suspension bridge fell to the ground with a loud crash.
A few knights who were already prepared rushed up the moment the drawbridge fell. These knights held heavy battering hammers and smashed down on the city gate.
"Boom!"
A loud sound was heard. A large amount of dust fell from the gap of the castle gate and a deep mark immediately appeared on the castle gate.
The guard captain's expression changed when he saw that the knights had broken the suspension bridge in just a few moments. If a battle really broke out, it would only take a single sword strike to deal with him. Wasn't this just courting death? However, the situation in front of him did not allow him to refuse. He gritted his teeth and directly ordered, "Release the arrows!"
Then, he quietly took a step back. If there was anything wrong with this posture, he would immediately turn around and run.
"Beng beng beng!"
More than a dozen arrows flew out, but the knights didn't even look at them. They knocked the arrows away with their swords.
Then, he took out a javelin and threw it directly at the city wall. Before the guards could react, they felt a pain in their chests and their bodies flew backward. Then, their consciousness fell into endless darkness.
"What a piece of trash!" The attendant spoke coldly when he saw the guards' actions. Suddenly, his expression changed, and then he roared furiously, "You actually dared to flee!"
"Die!" A ray of cold light shot out. The bodyguard captain who had just run a few steps suddenly stiffened and then fell to the ground. A long sword was pulled out of his chest and blood flowed out.
"Boom!"
The castle's wooden gate had been in disrepair for a long time and couldn't withstand such a torment. After a few more hits, it collapsed. Without the gate, the castle was unobstructed. The guards saw that the situation was not good and scattered like birds and beasts. The knights easily rushed in.
After rushing into the castle, the knights didn't stop and directly rushed inside. At this moment, the baron's attendant rushed over again with his men.
Both sides didn't show any courtesy when they met. They waved their swords and rushed forward.
At this moment, the baron's attendant in the lead roared. His body suddenly grew by more than ten centimeters. The clothes on his body were directly torn, revealing dark red scales.
"Bang!"
A loud sound of metal clashing was heard. The knight in the lead was directly sent flying. The long sword in his hand had a deep cut.
"A fallen one!" At this time, the others clearly saw the appearance of the baron's attendant. It was a humanoid monster with dark red scales all over his body. He was tall, about two and a half meters. There was also a layer of scales on his ferocious face. His eyes were blood-red, and there was a sharp horn on his head. There were also some bones growing out of his joints. His body was filled with the smell of blood and sulfur.
"A demonic human!"
"Damn it, I should have known!" Seeing the monster's appearance, Hunter's face changed and his eyes became even colder.
A demonic human was simply a fallen one who had sacrificed to the devil. After receiving the power of the devil, this person's strength would increase exponentially and their body would also be demonized. At first, the demonization wouldn't be serious, but as the power of the devil continued to corrode their body, their body would begin to transform into a devil.
This transformation from the soul to the body was completely irreversible. At the same time, after receiving the power of the devil, one's personality would change greatly. They would become cruel, bloodthirsty, and chaotic, so very few people would do this. Even if these demonic humans died, they would fall into the bottomless abyss and be sent to the blood pool in the abyss by the River Styx to become a true devil.
"Everyone, be careful! They are demonic humans! " Hunter warned and then rushed out with his sword. These demonic humans were blocking the way outside, so there must be something very important inside.
What could make them think it was important? Nothing more than sacrificing or summoning a devil. For fallen ones, this was an opportunity to increase their strength. Hunter and the others naturally knew this.
The situation was urgent, so Hunter directly used his full strength. The life force in his body was stimulated to the extreme. His sword glowed with a bright light and a powerful wind pressure swept out. In an instant, he collided with the demonic human. The powerful force caused the tall demonic human to take a step back. Hunter didn't stop there and quickly appeared beside the demonic human. The sharp sword in his hand slashed horizontally. Blood splattered as the demonic human's arm was cut off at the elbow.
"Ah!"
Intense pain came, and the demonic human's originally bloodshot eyes became crazed. The demonic human's other hand grabbed the sword and slashed at Hunter, but the experienced Hunter had already dodged in advance. His body turned and he was already on the left side of the demonic human.
In the next second, a cold light flashed, and the demonic human's head flew up in an instant. Scorching hot blood spurted out.
With full strength, Hunter killed the demonic human in three moves. For a moment, the morale of the surrounding knights was greatly boosted. However, the remaining demonic humans were not afraid. Their blood-red eyes were filled with madness, and they roared and rushed forward.
The battle became even more intense!
.....
In the northern city, Suhlen looked at the boys and girls between the ages of ten and sixteen in front of him and secretly nodded in his heart. This batch of apprentices had recruited about fifty. There were nobles, poor people, and even slaves. Of course, these identities were already in the past.
They would be the second batch of apprentices of the Northwind Tower. The Northwind Academy that Suhlen had organized had been completed long ago. It was right next to the Sorcerer Tower. Hathaway purposely drew an energy channel from the elemental pool to connect it to the academy. The concentration of elemental energy in the academy was very high.
The instructors of the Northwind Academy were still Locke and Andre. Occasionally, Karina, Grace, and Alex would come for a class or two. In addition to learning about sorcery, they were also taught cultural knowledge. Although there were not many instructors in the Northwind Academy, each one of them was very powerful. The weakest of the instructors here was a fourth rank wizard, and the principal was a legendary wizard.
It could be said that in terms of strength, the academy was one of the best in the entire continent. However, strength did not equate to education. The Northwind Academy's education level was probably in the lower middle of the continent.
"Congratulations. From today onwards, you are all official apprentices of the Northwind Academy. The door to the world of magic has officially opened for you!" Suhlen looked at the excited children in front of him and laughed in his heart. Be happy, this might be the most relaxing time you've had since you entered the academy!
"Among you are poor people, nobles, merchants, and even slaves. These are not important in the academy. There is only one thing to do here, and that is to learn all kinds of sorcery knowledge and become a true wizard. So, put away your tempers! "Suhlen swept his gaze over the excited crowd. In an instant, they became anxious and fearful.
"In a while, someone will tell you the rules and regulations of the academy, as well as the punishment if you violate them. I hope you will abide by them."
"Learning in the Sorcerer Academy is not free. The first year is for the adaptation period, so the academy will bear the cost. However, from the second year onwards, you will have to do missions and earn money to pay for your tuition."
"You should know that cultivating a wizard is very costly. All kinds of experiments, training, and so on require a lot of resources. You will have to earn these resources yourself, so work hard!"
Suhlen finished and left the place, leaving the other instructors to explain to them. Suhlen, on the other hand, looked at the seniors of these apprentices. The previous batch of apprentices were busy with their work. There was a lot of basic work in the Sorcerer Tower for them to complete.
To these apprentices, the instructors were not polite at all. Every day, apart from studying, they also had a lot of work. Their study and work time exceeded 18 hours. In order to make these apprentices energetic, Hathaway specially prepared energy potions for them. Energy potions were free. After drinking a bottle of energy potion, these apprentices would be full of energy and naturally have the energy to work.
If it were not for the fact that energy potions could not be taken consecutively, Suhlen planned to let these apprentices continue to study.
