The dwarven engineers placed a few large iron balls in the depths of the underground canal, below the city wall. After confirming that there were no problems, they nodded to the people outside and said, "It's done!"
"Very good!" The chief engineer, Harhav, nodded to the people outside. "We're ready!"
The sorceress, Teresa, continued to chant. She released all of her power as if she did not care about the magic power at all.
"Ice Blast!"
"Frost Freeze!"
A thick layer of frost spewed out from the tip of the violet staff at the entrance of the underground canal. The water near Muxilon City had been completely frozen. The sorceress' magic had blocked the passage of the underground canal, but it had also consumed a lot of her magic power. The sorceress' eyes were full of seriousness. Her silver eyes flowed with dark blue ice magic energy. When she cast the spell, the cold air she exhaled was enough to freeze a small pond.
However, the water in the underground canal flowed very fast. If Teresa did not continue to freeze the entrance, the frozen entrance would immediately thaw in a few seconds. Especially now that it was summer, the ice would melt very quickly. The sorceress could not gather enough magic power in the environment, which made her feel very tired. Not long after, Teresa's forehead was sweating, and the fine sweat was quickly frozen into ice.
"Still not done? Where's Mr. Frey Al? " Teresa continued to cast the spell. She was a little anxious. "Hurry up, I can't hold on for long, and the undead in the city will definitely notice that something is wrong if the ice lasts too long!"
As the gunpowder was detonated in the underground canal, both the ground and the air were extremely humid. The dwarven engineers carefully calculated that the fuse would not be able to complete the task in such a humid environment.
"They're here!" Veronica appeared with Al Frey. The Paladin wore a full set of standard plate armor. His body was sealed with thick scriptures, and the sorceress' protective magic, Ice Barrier and Ice Armor had covered his body. Veronica also cast a protective magic, "Fay's Light of Protection" on Al Frey.
"Wait and use this to ignite the bomb." Veronica handed a burning torch to Alfred Frey. Veronica injected a large amount of fire magic energy into the torch. Alfred Frey could feel the power contained in the torch as soon as he received it. "I got it."
"Alright then. After we retreat, you can detonate the gunpowder." "Don't get too close. Once you're close enough, throw the torch over and use Divine Shield to escape immediately!" Veronica exhorted.
"I understand … I understand. Ms. Veronica, why the torch?" Al Frey was a little nervous. He asked a random question. "I thought it would be a grenade or something."
"Because I like torches. Don't you think that a Paladin running with a torch can show off your chivalry and virtue?" Veronica said with a smile.
"…" Alfred Frey rolled his eyes.
"But the real reason is that the torch is stable and can store enough energy. It can also delay the explosion. This is the best way to detonate it."
"Thank you." Alfred Frey smiled awkwardly. The Paladin's expression also became serious. He held the torch tightly. "Laing has helped me so much, but I haven't been able to help him in important matters. I often see you and Ms. Teresa use magic to help him. I have to do something."
"You will do it, Mr. Frey Alfred. Please don't be discouraged. You will meet someone better than that waitress in the future." Veronica knew about Alfred Frey's experience in Estalia from Laing. She could understand why Alfred Frey was so eager to do something.
He wanted to do something to prove himself. He wanted to prove that he was worthy. He wanted to prove that he wasn't inferior to others.
Men were all like that. The only difference was that Laing didn't need to prove himself, while Alfred Frey still lacked such a feat. Laing must be aware of this. Alfred Frey was usually a happy-go-lucky person who liked to joke all day, but he also had the stubbornness of a northerner in the Empire. So when he volunteered, both Laing and Veronica knew that Alfred Frey had already made up his mind.
"Trovic, let's retreat." Veronica motioned for everyone to leave. Teresa saw this and stopped casting her spell. "Hurry up, Alfred Frey Alfred. My ice wall won't be able to stop the water for long."
After that, the dwarven engineers, the sorceress, and the witch all retreated one after another, leaving Alfreid alone in the dark canal.
"Alright, let's begin!" After everyone had retreated, Alfreid stood alone in the canal. He waited for three minutes, which was enough time for Veronica and the others to retreat to a safe distance.
Drip, drip, drip! Teresa's ice wall was quickly melting under the impact of the water. The sound of flowing water came from afar.
It was almost time. Alfred Frey smiled in a low voice. "Come on, Alfred Frey, you're the best!"
The Paladin held the torch and began sprinting. In the cold and wet canal, he used the momentum of his run-up to run as fast as he could.
Pitter-patter! Pitter-patter! The sound of iron boots stepping on the wet mud rang out one after another.
"One!" The distance was about right! The Paladin began to slow down.
"Two!" Alfred Frey leaned back and calculated the distance.
"Three!" The torch burning with magical flames left his hand and spun in the air, flying straight toward the large iron balls filled with gunpowder!
"For justice! I grant you judgment! "As it flipped up and down, the torch gradually approached in Alfred Frey's line of sight.
"Run!" Alfred Frey turned around and ran. Within a few seconds, a huge explosion almost made him lose his hearing. Just behind him, a huge explosion surged towards him in an instant!
"Divine Shield!" The Paladin immediately released his life-saving spell!
A golden ring enveloped him. The Divine Shield Technique had taken effect!
But before Alfred Frey could breathe a sigh of relief, under the huge impact, the golden ring of Divine Shield immediately cracked under the impact of the huge explosion! The dense cracks gradually spread to every part of the ring!
"Bang!" Just as Alfreid was in shock, the Holy Shield shattered!
Teresa's ice armor flashed, and then was instantly engulfed by the explosion's flames and huge waves!
The ice barrier was immediately triggered. The transparent ice barrier only protected Alfred Frey for two seconds before it was immediately shattered!
"Oh!" The flames had spread to Alfred Frey's whole body. His hair and the scriptures on his body immediately burned, and the Paladin was blown away by the explosion.
Damn it … I still thought too highly of myself. Alfred Frey only felt his body fly out uncontrollably. The Paladin clenched his teeth and used the last of his strength to release a Divine Light to save himself. The Divine Light temporarily repelled the flames and stabilized his injuries. Then, he endured the pain and wanted to rush out.
At this time, he was only a little bit away from the exit of the underground canal!
"Young people are always so confident." At this moment, a man wearing blood-red plate armor and a Blood Dragon Golden Crown appeared at the exit of the underground canal. His face was full of endless arrogance, vicissitudes, and confidence. His existence firmly suppressed everything, and even the flames retreated in front of him. "Glory and faith, yes, a firm will, the determination to die. I admire you, young man."
"Oh …" Alfred Frey's ears were full of ringing. He could not hear what the man said at all. Before the Paladin could speak, the man immediately reached out and grabbed his arm, pulling Alfred Frey up forcefully. The man's strength was so great that he directly threw Alfred Frey, who was fully armed, into the sky and flew into the distance. "Okay, your mission is complete. Go and rest."
The next second, the man was completely engulfed by the explosion's flames and waves.
Damn it, he's so strong. My arm seems to have been dislocated.
This was Alfred Frey's last thought before he fainted.
Boom!
Boom! Boom!
An earth-shattering sound rang throughout the entire battlefield of Mu Xilong.
The city walls of Mu Xilong collapsed in this ear-shattering sound. The tens of meters high wall was directly blown up by the entire shock wave! Huge stones fell, causing a violent disturbance in the crowd.
"Boom —!!"
With a loud bang, a blazing wave rushed out from under Mu Xilong's city walls. Accompanied by an earth-shattering bang, thick smoke rose into the air like a sandstorm that covered the sky. It was accompanied by scarlet flames that bloomed enchantingly, like enchanting and gorgeous spider lilies. The power of the dwarven gunpowder was perfectly displayed at this moment.
The violent explosion shook the Grismori River, and an entire section of the city walls collapsed one after another. Broken boulders fell like a meteor shower, mercilessly smashing into all the nearby areas of the entire castle. François, who had been prepared, had already led the Pegasus Knights away from the location of the explosion. However, the Pegasus Knights were still frightened and flew desperately into the distance, not even listening to the knights' commands.
The undead guards on that section of the city walls collectively rose into the sky! They were torn apart in the explosion and fell like a meteor shower, mercilessly turning into crushed bones as they fell.
"Hahahaha! This is so exciting!" Aralus rode on a giant eagle. Not only did the Woodland Lord not have any fear, but he also felt extremely refreshed. The young Aralus liked to fight, adventure, and come into contact with new things. He and his Taras Warhawk Guards had already flown far away from the impact of the explosion. At this time, Aleil's mind was already filled with thoughts of how to tell a story at the bonfire banquet after returning to Azeroth!
"It's a success!" Seeing that the city walls had completely collapsed in the earth-shattering explosion, Laing, who was riding on a griffin, clenched his fist and shouted happily, "It's a success! Mu Xilong is mine! "
However, this happiness did not last long. Laing immediately became worried. Did Afu successfully escape?
Now was not the time to think so much. Faced with such a precious opportunity, Laing immediately raised Mjolnir and shouted, "Knights! Advance! Take back Mu Xilong! For the Lady! For Brittany! For Landuin! "
"For the Lady! For Brittany! "The knights had been waiting for a long time!
The tide-like army finally passed through the gap in the city walls and attacked Mu Xilong.
"What?" The Blood Dragon Vampires who stood on the city gates and commanded the defense looked at the scene in front of them. They were stunned. "What happened?"
"Hold on! Hold on! " Immediately, the Vampires tried to organize the remaining troops to counterattack. However, without the protection of the city walls, how could the undead resist the charge of the knights?
"Die!" The Red Dragon Duke, Berhemond, took the lead. He rushed into Muzillon's castle alone and smashed five Skeleton Warriors with a wave of his giant mace. "Undead! Accept the judgment of the Lady! "
"What happened? Why did the city walls …" Just as the Blood Dragon Vampires were still discussing what was going on, a blood-red figure walked in from afar. He beheaded a Necromancer with a sword. It was so fast that no one could see how he did it. The Vampires only saw him raise his arm gently, and the Necromancer's head fell just like that.
When the Blood Dragon Vampires were about to ask who it was, a torrent of emotions from the depths of their blood swept through their hearts. It was the call of their blood, and it was an echo from the depths of their souls. They only felt their bodies trembling, and a throbbing in the depths of their hearts made them unable to control themselves. "You are …?"
"Come with me, my children." The man took off his Blood Dragon Golden Crown and calmly said to his children, "Timetoleave."
"Ancestor?!"
"Master!"
"It's Prince Wallace!"
The Blood Dragon Vampires exclaimed. Many of them knelt down and cried out in grief, "Ancestor, you're finally here!"
"Save us, save Mu Xilong!"
"Enough, enough, my children. It's enough that you've fought to this point." Abo Wallace exhaled. "It's time to leave."
"Yes!" None of the Blood Knights and Blood Dragon Vampires could disobey the Blood Dragon Ancestor's order. They all responded loudly. Then, all the Blood Knights and Blood Dragon Vampires of Mu Xilong gathered under Abo Wallace's order and left the battlefield.
The most stubborn Blood Dragon Vampires who were unwilling to retreat were directly dragged away by Abo Wallace. The extremely powerful Blood Knights, who had left behind countless terrifying legends in the Old World, were lifted up like chickens in front of Abo Wallace. They had no ability to resist at all.
Following the retreat route that Laing had arranged beforehand, this group of Blood Knights and Abo Wallace disappeared into the forest together. They would leave Brittany and never return.
After losing the military support of the Blood Knights and Blood Dragon Vampires, after a day of fierce attacks, the tide-like Allied Forces of Order finally flooded the entire Mu Xilong Castle.
Mu Xilong's 300-year history of being ruled by the undead came to an end today.
Under Laing's leadership, Mu Xilong officially returned to Brittany's hands!
