Faced with the invasion of the Tzeentch Legion, the Marvel Blue Council had been caught completely off guard. From the witches' point of view, the Skydome Castle was located thousands of meters above sea level in the Roof of the World Mountain Range, and it was also protected by a magical barrier. Even if the enemy appeared, it would be impossible for them to bypass the defenses and directly attack the castle. Thus, the sudden appearance of the Tzeentch Legion after the meeting was completely unexpected.
Within the Skydome Castle, the only garrison was a mercenary group of around two hundred people — the Marvel Blue Guards. When the mercenaries heard about the situation, they were extremely nervous. They carefully called out to the outposts on the outskirts, and only then did they discover that something had happened within the castle. The guards knew that something terrible was happening within the castle, and the sound of the alarm and the horn was enough to prove this point. The mercenary leader hurriedly ordered the guards to gather together, and the mercenaries who were on duty hurriedly put on their armor. Many refugees also fled to the castle gates, telling of the terrible situation that had happened within the castle.
Although the Marvel Blue Guards didn't have many people, they were all experienced and loyal warriors who had been specially selected by Margarita. The mercenary leader was named Auguste Von Geben, and he was a soldier from the Ostermark Alliance. After receiving a steady stream of information, he began to make his own judgment. Because the castle was covered in a sea of fire and the light of witchcraft, Captain Auguste immediately decided that he couldn't advance rashly. Instead, he had to gather his own troops and gather the scattered soldiers. Only then would he be able to form an effective resistance and try to rescue the witches.
It had to be said that although Captain Auguste's conservative decision made the rescue very slow, his decision was correct in hindsight. The Marvel Blue Guards' decision to hide on the castle walls and within the castle gates successfully allowed them to avoid the negative effects of the supreme divine spell cast by the champion of Tzeentch, Zi A-Zanaik — Strange Nova. At the same time, it also ensured that these soldiers weren't separated and defeated. When half of the Skydome Castle fell into the hands of the Tzeentch Legion, Auguste gathered around four hundred people and equipped them all. He then began to march towards the central tower, attempting to defend the central tower's floating bridge and prevent the Tzeentch Legion from advancing further.
At this time, the Skydome Castle was extremely chaotic. Half of the inner streets had been destroyed, and the remaining half of the streets were filled with Tzeentch Demons and Chaos Warriors. Due to the Marvel Blue Gathering, the Skydome Castle seemed to be very crowded. At the same time, there were also many professionals who had a certain level of strength. The rest of the people chose to nail their doors and windows shut, hiding in their houses and praying for the Old World gods to protect them. Some of the lucky ones did indeed escape the search of the Tzeentch Demons and Chaos Warriors. However, the professionals, especially the witch apprentices and those who came here to accept missions, united and stubbornly resisted. Some of the lucky ones held on until Captain Auguste's arrival, while others didn't.
Rumors and panic spread wildly among the crowd, and the sounds of battle and flames seemed to be happening in all directions.
At this time, Teresa was supporting Aurora, who was struggling to control the ice golem to move. Aurora's injuries were much better after some simple bandaging and medicine. She could see that Teresa had reached her limit. "Alright, daughter, release the spell. I can walk on my own."
Teresa nodded. The mother and daughter got down from the ground and hurried through the chaotic streets. Not far away, the Central Tower flashed with flames and various arcane torrents. Magic energy shot everywhere, but soon disappeared.
"We've been fooled." Aurora immediately reacted. "Teresa, it's not good. We've all been tricked. Zi A-Zanaik, the champion of the Tzeentch Demons, wants to use our magic to summon the Tzeentch Great Demon! In order to summon the Great Demon, he emptied the magic wind around the Skydome Castle. He also deliberately let us release a large amount of magic so that we can release the little magic energy left in our bodies. This will make it easier for him to summon the Great Demon of Chaos! "
"What?" Teresa also realized the problem. The female Warlock looked into the distance.
Sure enough, in the abandoned city, a ritual to summon the Great Demon of Tzeentch was beginning.
Some kind of sharp chirping and twisted magic wind explained everything. In the sky above the ruins, a mass of pure chaos energy was constantly rising and condensing. A certain bird-headed demon wearing golden blue armor with a pair of wings on its back was gradually being summoned to the mortal world.
Teresa was somewhat bewildered. The female Warlock glanced at the city gate and then at the Central Tower. "Mother, what should we do now? Should we leave, or should we go to the Central Tower to meet the enemy? "
"Do you think we can escape if we abandon this place?" Aurora clenched her teeth. "Go back and defend! Only by going back and defending will we have a chance of survival. Three of the six Wizard Towers in the castle have already fallen. Carolina has become a traitor! Our Wizard Towers are basically empty. The only place left that still has a teleportation circle is under the Central Tower. "
Teresa did not say anything more. As her magic was almost exhausted, the female Warlock tried her best to absorb a small amount of magic from the air. At the same time, she took out two guns from her body. These two guns were the treasure of the Lemia family, "Blue Love", which Laing had obtained from the Saint Bone Hall of the Brunswick Cathedral of Justice.
The female Warlock changed her fighting style. Facing the enemies on the way, she and Aurora used the runic guns in their hands to shoot to their heart's content. At the same time, they used their relative agility to constantly dodge the enemy's spells. The mother and daughter worked together to kill a bloody path and rushed to the Central Tower.
At this time, near the Central Tower, the captain of the Garan Guards, August, had already gathered the last resistance forces in the castle. Captain August led the halberds and sword and shield soldiers into a circular formation to resist the attacks of the Tzeentch Warriors and Tzeentch Wizards. The few remaining Garan Witches gathered together and cast spells at the enemy. Those without magic took out their swords or guns and fired at the Tzeentch Army.
There were also some mercenaries who burst out with the last of their courage in despair and took the initiative to fight with the Warriors of Chaos. Soon, they were killed by the machetes, halberds, and giant axes of the Warriors of Chaos.
In front of the central tower, on the road paved with cobblestones and large boulders, the black statue of Ludwig the Savior was watching the terrifying battle. The defenders were united as they fought off wave after wave of the Raven Army and the Tzeentch Army. Corpses covered the entire road, and the original shape of the road was almost unrecognizable.
At this time, the disadvantage of the Tzeentch believers and the Tzeentch Army that were not good at fighting face to face showed. The Raven Legion tried to gather their troops and force their way to the Central Tower, but they were beaten back time and time again. When the Tzeentch Wizards tried to use magic to open a path, the combined spells of the Garan Witches and the anti-magic equipment of the Garan Guards weakened their attacks.
High up in the sky of the Central Tower, rays of scorching sun rays were shot out from the device on top of the tower. The scorching sun rays swept across and the Tzeentch Warriors of the Raven Legion and the Demons of Tzeentch were smashed into pieces and melted into ashes.
The remaining survivors within Heaven's Fortress also joined the battle. The chefs used kitchen knives, the servants used brooms and shovels, the shoemakers and bakers used wooden sticks and improvised weapons in an attempt to stop Tzeentch's army's attack. The defensive line was on the verge of collapse, but miraculously, it stood firm.
Aurora and Teresa rushed to the bottom of the Central Tower and joined the battle. The sorceress and her daughter used their guns to shoot at the enemies, retreating as they fought. At this time, Marguarita had already driven her own Light Magic Ride out to meet the enemy. Every shot of the Light Magic Ride could vaporize a few enemies in an instant.
Captain Auguste roared out a motivational slogan and shuttled through the troops, raising the morale of the defenders. After being caught off guard at the beginning, the people in the city were finally ready for battle. The two sides fought along the streets near the Central Tower. The armory in the Central Tower was opened, and a large number of firearms that only the witches could use and many of Marguarita's treasured weapons were taken out and handed to the guards. Many of the weapons were even divine weapons that had been lost for one or two hundred years. The soldiers equipped with these weapons were able to penetrate the indestructible armor of the Warriors of Chaos. The cannons on the city walls were finally able to aim at the Tzeentch Army in the castle. The roar of the cannons and the bombardment of spells caused the Tzeentch Army to retreat.
Wherever Marguarita's Light Magic Ride passed, the guards and witches would burst into cheers. The Tzeentch Warriors and Tzeentch Demons seemed to be afraid of such a strong defense line. Many of the Tzeentch Fire Demons hesitated whether to charge forward or not. The Tzeentch Believers were also forced to retreat due to the lack of numbers. The only ones left were the Tzeentch Wizards who were flying back and forth in the sky on flying discs.
The mutated spirits of the Tzeentch were being attacked by halberds, swords, or bullets. Wherever the heat rays from the central tower passed through, the mutated spirits would melt like snow. Under Marguarita's guidance, it seemed like the Tzeentch army would not be able to hold on any longer.
In the end, after nearly an hour of bitter fighting, Tzeentch's army retreated slightly and retreated from the area. Aurora finally had the chance to meet with President Marguarita. The two old rivals who had been fighting for decades looked at each other without saying a word. Before Marguarita could open her mouth, a sharp roar almost broke everyone's eardrums. Almost at the same time, a new strange star washed over the entire battlefield!
Its power washed away all the cheering people. The guards who were high in morale before almost all fell to the ground. They held their heads in pain and groaned. Many of the Garlan Witches either had their bodies mutated or exploded on the spot. They were turned into twisted pieces of flesh in the colorful flames of Tzeentch.
On the contrary, the defeated Tzeentch Army instantly regrouped. Whether it was the Tzeentch Demons or the Tzeentch Believers, they all burst into distorted cheers. Their god's blessing had come! Their leader had come!
"Piercing Flame Arrow." Tzeentch's Chosen Champion, Tzeentch Zanaik descended from the sky onto the battlefield. In an instant, all the witches' spells were ineffective. Tzeentch's Chosen Champion raised his staff and pointed it at the top of the Central Tower. The terrifying Heat Rays and the defense mechanism that controlled it were all blown to pieces. The top of the Central Tower was destroyed.
The Tzeentch Army made a comeback.
At this time, the guards had reached their limit. With Zainaik's participation in the battle, no one could resist his power. Even the Light of Exile released by Marguarita could only stop Zainaik for less than a minute before it was broken by Tzeentch's Chosen Champion's insight. The Tzeentch Army shouted "Long live Saint Tzeentch" and charged forward. As Zainaik combined the power of the Tzeentch Wizards and blessed the Tzeentch Army with Tzeentch's blessings, the distorted creatures of Chaos and the Believers of Chaos had recovered their morale and strength.
Then, another Crafty Nova swept across the entire battlefield. Something terrifying finally obtained enough energy in the battle. A huge fireball fell from the sky, shattering the entire line of guards. Dozens of guards were killed on the spot, and the rest lost their combat power or fled in panic.
In the fire pit of the explosion, a huge strange bird creature crawled out.
Tzeentch Demon, Lord of Change, Eternal Watcher Sassoril had arrived on the battlefield!
The situation of the battle was getting worse. Soon, the defeated army had retreated to the vicinity of the central tower, relying on the broken walls and other defensive devices of the central tower to barely resist.
Blue Love's bullets had been used up. Teresa had also recovered some of her mana. The sorceress tried to cast a spell, but she suddenly found that her violet staff had grown eyes and tentacles under the corruption of Chaos! The staff that had followed her for decades let out a sharp cry and had its own consciousness! It twisted back and forth, roaring in pain and stretching out its tentacles to attack its master! Teresa was so frightened that she immediately threw the violet staff away.
"Destructive Lava!" The Treacherous Demon, the Ever-Changing Demon Army, and the Eternal Guardian, Sassoril's first spell was enough to shatter an entire floor of the central tower. The rest of the tower's foundation and the solid granite structure cracked even with the support of magic. A torrent of metal swept across the entire battlefield, crushing the last vestiges of the guards' morale.
"Aurora, retreat with everyone. Retreat to the depths of the central tower!" Marguarita used all her strength and all her mana to raise a barrier of light amidst the rain of Chaos spells. "Garlan's Grand Curse! Seal of the Pyramid of Light! "
The Tzeentch Demon Army was blocked outside. This barrier had been wildly attacked by the Tzeentch Demon Army since its creation. Many parts of the barrier had already cracked. Marguarita only had time to catch her breath before she turned to Aurora and said, "Retreat immediately. Retreat to the underground of the central tower and activate the teleportation array. Take everyone and retreat! Leave this to me! "
"You?" Aurora was injured, but the elder didn't hesitate. She commanded the remaining dozen Garlan Council members and apprentices to retreat to the central tower while shouting, "What about you?"
"Me? The Garlan Council is everything to me. If it's gone, there's no need for me to continue. " Marguarita smiled bitterly, "If you have the chance, help me make a trip to Nur and tell Ludwig. Tell his black statue in Nur that I will never forgive his choice. Never."
"I understand!" Aurora noticed that many cracks had appeared on the Pyramid of Light. Some parts had even shattered under the constant bombardment. Aurora didn't think too much about it. She led the remaining witches of the Marvel Blue Council into the depths of the pyramid.
Marguarita stood in front of the central tower. She closed her eyes and recalled her life. Then, she gripped her staff and controlled her light magic to chant her final spell with her life force.
Aurora and Theresa led the last dozen female councilors and dozens of Apprentice Sorcerers into the Central Tower and advanced towards the depths of the ground. The sound of turbulence and the roaring of spells outside made everyone terrified, but the underground teleportation array had already been activated. Several Apprentice Sorcerers had already moved many precious magic books, various precious documents, and priceless treasures from Margarita's personal treasury into the teleportation array. Upon seeing this, Aurora immediately signaled everyone to enter the teleportation array. The Sanctuary Sorcerers began to overdraw the power of their bloodline to inject magic into the teleportation array so that it could be activated faster.
"Thirty seconds left!" Aurora screamed, "Teresa, pay attention to the entrance and seal it!"
"Okay!" Teresa immediately closed the underground door and pulled the bolt. She also began to overdraw her bloodline power in an attempt to seal the door. The sorceress painfully extracted the power from her bloodline and branded the frost seal on the door. Then, a heavy rumbling sound came from the other side of the door.
The door was twisted and opened from the other side. The bolt cracked and bent like a shrimp. The frost seal on it was shattered in one breath. Teresa spat out a mouthful of blood and was sent flying into the cold stone floor.
All the Gallan witches and apprentices in the underground hall screamed in fear. They were already panicking.
Boom! In the next second, the entire door was blasted to pieces. Tzeentch's champion, Zi A-Zanaik, appeared behind the door with a twisted smile on his face, "It's over, ladies! Welcome aboard the ship to the realm of Chaos! "
After saying that, Zaneyk approached at high speed. Tzeentch swung his Twisted Staff and swept away the ice sword that Theresa had just summoned, sending it flying. The Demon Bird God's Sword of Venomous Tongue in his other hand ruthlessly stabbed towards the female Warlock's chest. "First ticket!"
"No! Teresa! No! "
