Chapter 199: The Fall of the North
A purple ball of lightning rolled in the low sky, with an extremely fast movement trajectory, so that wherever the ball went, it released countless lightning bolts, taking away fifty six-legged dark fire three-headed wolves every second.
"What are you still looking at?" the Saint said, "Bring your empire's people into the battle. I hope you keep a close eye on them! If those monsters disappear in the woods near Guanbei Town after daybreak, they will rush into Avilato at night!"
Zevaon's mind suddenly cleared up! Unfortunately, the Empire currently has limited combat manpower, most of whom are adventurers, and the Empire's war mobilization capabilities are concentrated in important towns along the border...
On Palace Hill, Charlemagne's royal family has already learned that the North has been invaded by monsters, and their troops are already at the gates of the city.
The incident happened suddenly, the north gate of Avilato was closed, and even the news quickly spread to Briffin College.
The academy has experienced a black cloud of magic fog before. As for this monster crisis, the academy is ready to open the barrier to protect the students in the academy.
However, as it was already night and the college gates were closed, only the teachers were on duty to control the flow of news from outside into the college to avoid causing panic among the students. They could only wait until the next day to inform the students of the news, and the college management decided to suspend classes for a period of time.
The saint continued to release lightning magic, controlling three lightning balls to wander around Guanbei Town.
The attack efficiency of the thunder ball is extremely high and it is within a controllable range. It is only responsible for attacking monsters and will not harm civilians.
But the Saint was only responsible for guarding Guanbei Town, and she was unable to spare the time to go to the farther northern areas.
Because they can't trust the Almighty Eye Organization and the Bai Haolong Dragon Riders stationed in Guanbei Town.
Unfortunately, the defense range was limited, and several smart wolf packs bypassed Guanbei Town and continued to rush towards Avilato.
Because the monsters have received a death order and must kill their way into Avilato at any cost!
The king in the palace stayed awake all night. No matter what, he could not fall.
The king immediately gave orders, asking the eldest prince and the second prince to gather men and go to the north gate to guard the city.
The saint persisted in her magic output for two hours, and destroyed more than 50,000 monsters. However, the Bai Hao Dragon Cavalry behind her, even though they had set up a defense line of more than 40 kilometers, still released more than a dozen wolves to rush into the royal capital.
Zevaang wrote a message scroll, still to inform the king, not only about the support of Her Majesty the Saint, but also that it was time to replace the leader of Group C of the Almighty Eye!
"Your Excellency the Saint, please continue to guard the Guanbei Town area. I need to go to the northern border to see if the members of Group C have made any efforts!"
"Go ahead. I suggest you suppress the source of your magic power. Once you see what the members of Group C do, you will know who they are!"
Of course, Zevaang knew the saint's reminder, and immediately lowered the source of magic power in his body and controlled it to the intermediate first level.
After Zewaang left, twenty investigators from Group A, the northern defense team of Guanbei Town, came to the city defense wall.
There were twenty people, all expressionless men, wearing the uniforms of the All-Seeing Eye, and releasing ordinary elemental attack magic. After all, there was still more than half of the night left, and they did not dare to consume too much magic power.
The twenty high-level magicians came close to the Saint because, on the one hand, they felt safe when close to her, and on the other hand, they also felt that the Saint was radiant. Being able to witness and fight side by side with even the world's top-level warriors was an honor to them even if the battle situation was bad.
With their efficiency, they can kill at most 15,000 primary monsters in an hour.
At midnight, all the gates of Averato were closed.
The city was also heavily guarded, with ten soldiers on duty on every street.
More than two thousand palace guards and more than one thousand palace guards have been assembled in the North City, and there are only about fifty holy warriors left on Palace Hill.
The king was temporarily relieved after seeing the letter from Zevaang, because with the help of the Saint, the pressure on the empire was much less. However, it was also strange that the transaction condition was twenty high-level magic swords instead of money.
The height of the walls of Avilato is eleven meters. Some junior magic warlock adventurers and magic warriors have taken the lead in fighting against the monsters that have come to the city.
On the Palace Hill, the Seventh Prince learned that the monsters had already reached the city and his two royal brothers had led the team to the north city gate, but he was more worried about Isabella who lived in Briffin College.
The Seventh Prince opened the window, his eyes deep and heavy with worry, he kept looking at the battle situation outside the North City. Under the cover of night, he could clearly see the flashing magic attacks outside the city.
There was a knock on the door, and Princess Bai Yue's voice came: "Xia An, I know you are not asleep..."
The Seventh Prince went over to open the door. Princess Bai Yue was wearing a white pajamas with her shoulders loose...
"You're still looking for me so late, is it about the monster?"
"Yes, I am here to tell you that the academy has decided to suspend classes tomorrow. If you can't sleep, I suggest you go outside the north city and fight against the monsters with them. After all, you have the protection of the Holy Envoy. The monsters outside the city are mostly elementary monsters. What is there to be afraid of?"
"Your presence will surely boost the morale of the soldiers defending the city, and let them see that you are the one who represents the future of the empire! Rather than those brothers who only know how to flatter in front of Grandpa."
Princess Bai Yue's words did not have much impact on the Seventh Prince Xia An, but when he thought about the possibility that the monsters might break through the north gate and sneak into the academy...
"I see...I'll be back after daybreak."
As the Seventh Prince spoke, he went to the weapon cabinet and picked out a white magic sword. It was a mid-level magic sword made of magic crystal silver. The material level was a step higher than mithril.
Because he had the protection of the Holy Envoy, the Seventh Prince did not think about the heavy armor, but went into battle in casual clothes.
The news of sending out the seven princes reached the king in just a few minutes. Princess Baiyue's explanation was very simple. Since they had been training for so long, it was necessary to have some actual combat experience. They could also take this opportunity to maintain the glory of Charlemagne's royal family.
Even though the king was reluctant in his heart, he had the protection of the Holy Messenger and thought that the seemingly risky thing to do was not a bad idea.
Outside the city, the number of primary monsters gathered has reached more than 500.
However, their huge and flexible bodies also wiped out more than a hundred teams of junior adventurers. Due to the large gap in strength, the adventurer teams that responded outside the city were at least at the junior level three.
The palace guards and imperial guards defending the city still maintained long-range attacks instead of fighting outside the city.
The seventh prince appeared outside the north city, with a magic sword enchanted with lightning magic, and chopped a primary monster in one blow.
Several other wolves pounced on him, but the Seventh Prince remained calm, dodged them, and turned around to finish them off. His swordsmanship was gorgeous and his body movements were agile. Some wolves bared their teeth, but dared not move.
Arrows rained down from the sky, thousands of them fell like raindrops and pierced the magic wolves, but they only angered them in a short period of time and could not kill them instantly.
The Northern Frontier...
When Zewaang arrived nearby, he found some clues about the members of tribe C.
Their magic release could only destroy monsters in a small area, and each attack could only kill three or four monsters. Most monsters simply ignored their attacks, quickly bypassed the defense line, and fled south.
To put it bluntly, these people are just fighting perfunctorily instead of intercepting with all their might!
Zevaang suppressed his anger and hovered in mid-air, recording the status of their battle.
If it weren't for the battle with the monsters now, Zewaangba would have wiped them all out.
There are also some defensive fortifications nearby, which were investigated by the members of Group B, and each of them used magic scroll enchantments.
In terms of attack, they attack monsters without reservation, and even hunt down injured monsters.
The combat efficiency is ten times that of Group C. One magic strike can destroy more than a dozen monsters!
Only after Zevaang understood the situation did he release all the fluctuations of his magic source.
At this time, the howling of wolves came from the distant mountains.
Tonight is just an appetizer. I didn’t expect that in the far distance of the mountain, which is the border of Corey Roman’s Third Reich, there will be an endless stream of monsters pouring in!
In Guanbei Town, the Saint has been casting magic for four hours, but the monsters outside Guanbei Town have not reduced their attacks.
The saint activated the magic of light element, and a row of small magic light arrays appeared in the sky behind her, with a length of ten kilometers.
Buzz!
A streak of white light shone across the earth, and gray smoke billowed from a stretch of scorched earth. The earth became bare in an instant, revealing more than 900 acres of flat land.
This volley of magic destroyed at least 70,000 primary monsters.
"There are still many monsters from outside the domain. This wave is only one percent of the Dark Elf Kingdom. If we want to completely eliminate them, I'm afraid the Saint Maiden Guild will have a lot of work to do this year!"
"The only ones who can control the actions of monsters are the Magicians!"
By dawn, the saint had killed 550,000 monsters. A large number of magic cores flew into her body, and her emotions were numb.
Before daybreak, thanks to the cooperation of the Bai Haolong Dragon Riders, no traces of humans or monsters were left within a 15-kilometer radius of Avilato.
According to the investigation and statistics of the Almighty Eye, the North lost fifty towns overnight, and the population loss reached more than 1.2 million.
The next day, the students at Briffin College who learned the news outside were filled with hatred towards the monsters and were eager to join in the battle to defend the city tonight.
