Chapter 521: Siege (Part 1)
In the morning, it was a sunny day and the weather was great.
A magnificent castle, shrouded in vain black air, stands on the earth, as if it has always been like this. Only Baron Brown led the ruins of the villages and towns that once flourished and now declining, constantly accusing the tyranny of the source of the black air with a desolate scene.
Whoosh — whoosh —
A few big birds with bright feathers roared over the castle, watching their constantly sliding flying postures, as if they were going to a beautiful party, with a gorgeous beauty of aerial performance.
The last move that flew past was a little behind. It seemed that it was still nostalgic about the beautiful scenery behind it, but the moment it passed by the castle, it was caught by an invisible force, screamed, and was pulled down.
"The offerings have been used up. It seems that it is the only one to use it." In the castle, a big demon looked at his palm helplessly. A big bird was pulled by its neck, and it was constantly thrusting there, with its terrified eyes constantly wide open, as if he knew what fate he was going to face.
"What are you still watching? Why don't you prepare the tools for sacrificial rituals?" The little demons beside him were looking at them curiously, but in a daze, they were all kicked out by the big demon. Then, the sacrificial hall was busy.
After cleaning up, preparing for the preparation, a huge crystal mirror was placed brightly on the stone platform in the middle of the room. The mirror surface was very clean and lubricated.
The big demon dragged the big bird and walked towards the stone platform.
The few little demons who were kicked out had a very fast movement at this time. They quickly jogged in with a few huge stone trays. They placed the stone trays one by one on the stone platform. The little demons did not dare to stay here for a long time, and then ran out in panic. The thick stone door was slowly closed from outside by them. In the sacrificial hall, only this big demon with strong strength and the big bird that was dragged in its hand that was about to be regarded as a sacrifice.
Looking at the huge crystal mirror in front of you, the expression of the big demon was full of complexity.
It seemed as if he felt the constant approaching of death. The big bird dragged in its hand struggled again, and he hated its cry a little. The big demon tightened his five fingers with disgust. Suddenly, the big bird suffocated directly and stopped struggling.
So the great demon refocused himself on the crystal mirror, hesitated for a moment, and began to act.
A strange spell began to recite from the mouth of the great demon, and as it continued to recite, a layer of strange fluctuations began to appear on the crystal mirror, which was like water patterns, constantly flowing on the mirror.
After waiting for this fluctuation to appear and flow stably, the big demon's eyes fell on the big bird dragged in his hand again. At this moment, the fainting big bird regained its awakening. Seeing the big demon's fierce gaze, the big bird screamed again in horror.
The big demon didn't allow it to struggle. One claw grabbed it, and the other claw quickly leaped towards the abdomen of the big bird. The moment it broke open its belly, it threw the big bird into the air.
Just a few flashes of light, blood was already splashing everywhere, and the birds kept screaming.
After the bang landed on the ground, the bird still made an extremely miserable scream. After a while, the tragic sound slowly stopped.
It seemed that he was very happy with this cruel behavior, the demon who hollowed out his internal organs alive, even licked the blood that splashed beside his lips with a look of enjoyment, walked to the stone platform, and put a few bloody internal organs on it.
Another spell sounded, and the first spell seemed to be an opening spell, while the current spell seemed to be a summoning spell.
Soon, the fluctuations on the crystal mirror became violent again.
"Sir, most of the places we occupy have been snatched back by humans." The big demon murmured to the crystal mirror: "Are we allowed to retreat?"
After missing the necessary source of darkness, it still felt uncomfortable after staying on the ground for a long time.
A strange noise began to come from the mirror. After a while, a clear image appeared. It was a man with a human appearance, very handsome appearance, but when he spoke, he seemed to have a stiff and weird feeling: "...the great demon level or above, the great goddess of darkness allows you to retreat...the little demon must not retreat..."
"Yes, sir!" After seeing this man, the huge demon seemed very afraid. After seeing "him" say something, he hurriedly saluted "him". After a while, the image in the crystal mirror gradually disappeared.
"Kill humans! Guard the castle to the death!" This order was also passed from the mouth of the big demon to all the demons in the castle. As for the big demons themselves, they began to prepare to open the mobile door. There were more than ten big demons in this group. In fact, they were very strong in uniting, but at this time, they seemed to have no intention of fighting at all.
At the same time, preparations for attacking the castle were underway on the other side of the Brown army.
"Mr. Romon, the east is ready."
"Yeah, OK."
"Mr. Romon, we have finished exploring the south."
"Yeah, okay, let's leave the result to Knight Pickard."
"Yes, sir."
Waves of information were constantly coming, and after Romon heard it, he gradually realized it.
"Sir Romon, when will he siege the city?" After a while, Miss Sasha walked over, as if she was confused about Romon's actions that made the team stagnate.
She didn't sleep well last night, not only because of her concern about this siege, but also because of the impact of what the Knights of Piccard said yesterday on her.
As soon as Romon looked up, he saw her obvious dark circles and sighed: "I told you not to participate in this battle, but you are still here."
"I can't come. I'm a member of the Brown family. A few years ago, I was always enjoying the status and wealth brought to me by the family. Now when the family is in danger, I don't come out, who will come out? My younger brother is still young and my mother is not in good health. The whole family must come out now." As if she was venting, Miss Sasha couldn't help but say this. After saying this, Miss Sasha realized something was wrong.
"Well, okay, since you think you should do what you should do, do it." Romon nodded. This was a responsible girl. In a trance, he seemed to see another person's shadow from her again.
Shaking his head and throwing away this idea, he said, "I know you are a little anxious about siege, but this kind of thing is unhurried. The demons in the castle are not weak. We must understand all the situations we should know, and launch an attack at the most appropriate time to reduce casualties and increase our confidence in victory."
"I understand, everything is listened to you." Seeing that Romon was not deliberately delaying time, Miss Sasha stopped urging to promote the attack, but sat aside, listening to Romon constantly receiving reports of relevant information, and then made an analysis.
Looking at his serious face, Miss Sasha was a little confused. She was thinking about the words that Knight Piccard had said to her yesterday. What should she do about it?
After her careful observation today, it is true that her family soldiers have a similar admiration for the giant eagle druid. They will not have any impact on the Brown family in the short term, but over time, it will inevitably appear. They only know that the giant eagle druid is not the embarrassing situation of the Brown family.
Although Romon is a foreign viscount and is unlikely to usurp the territory, in order for the prestige of her family to be unaffected by any external influence, Miss Sasha has clearly known that she could no longer continue her previous ideas and leave the giant eagle druid on the territory.
However, with this giant eagle druid, who is also the viscount's talent, is really valuable. Even if it cannot be used for a long time, it cannot be divided at will. How can she make a decision?
Miss Sasha held her cheek in confusion and thought about this matter seriously.
"... Lord Romon, this is the case. We found that the demon guards in the city gate change posts about an hour, and each post takes five or six minutes. At that time, it is the time when the city gate's defense is weakest. If you launch a bomb in the air and take advantage of their chaos to attack the city, it will have better results." Knight Piccard stood beside Romon, pointing to the castle in the distance, telling his conclusion.
Romon nodded repeatedly after hearing this. "Yes, Lord Pickard's plan is feasible."
With just this sentence, the two of them decided the approximate time and method of siege. Naturally, Romon would not give up his expert methods, and he still rode lightning and chose air bombing to assist the army in siege.
The actual command of the army fell on the Knight Pickard.
The two of them have a tacit understanding in cooperation. After the cooperation of many battles in the previous few days, they have generally known how to cooperate with each other and make each battle more beneficial to their side.
"Listen to my orders, prepare, and attack the city." The Knights Piccard began to command the army to advance towards the castle.
In the air, on the back of a big eagle, Romon's eyes were cold and he also stared at the direction of the castle.
"Lightning, let's start acting too." Romon said lightning lightning lightning in his head.
Lightning looked excitedly at the direction of the castle and flew over.
