Chapter 20: The Prelude of War (Part 1)
Annin and Reinstein completed the distribution of power, 500 human soldiers and 500 elves from Casey Castle, and a army of 2,000 were expanded to carry out a simple reorganization, which was under the unified command of Reinstein.
Annon immediately took command of all the mages in the city, including the elf mage and the mages to which Ryan Stein belonged.
Walking in the mage tower, his magic robe made a low friction sound. The mages everywhere he went bowed. He was now one of the strongest mages here. Although it was not the first time he came here, Ann still carefully observed the structure inside the mage tower.
The structure of the Mage Tower is actually similar. The second floor is the magic library, and the bookshelf is filled with dense books and some low-level scrolls...
However, he stopped at the magic laboratory on the third floor. The magic laboratory was the place where he created magical objects and potions. The magic laboratory in front of him seemed to be a little too extravagant. Various high-level experimental equipment were almost at the top level in this world.
"Master, Your Highness said, you can freely control all the supplies here." A young mage bowed, then reached out and pressed it on a wall. After a few magic words, the wall opened silently, and cabinets with grids appeared. When I opened it, I saw various emeralds, red sapphires, high-quality crystals, etc. arranged in the cabinet. The useful parts of powerful magic creatures, higher lizard scales, even dragon blood and dragon scales. As for precious metals such as silver and gold, they were even expected.
Annien's eyelids twitched, and he truly felt the terrible power accumulated by a large family with a history of thousands of years. However, he was a little confused. Although Ryanstein's family had the information of the empire mage left over from the magic empire back then, their family was cursed by the magic goddess and it was impossible to use magic. Why are they cultivating magicians in large quantities now?
Could it be that this magic curse has been lifted? Depending on the situation, it is very possible - but you should know that as a magic goddess, she cannot block the magic network connections of a person or a family at will. Unless she has obtained the strong support of several gods, or has a very correct reason, it is also very difficult to lift such a curse. Even if you may not even marry the six daughters of the magic goddess, it may not be enough. Now, what big thing is going to happen?
This idea only stayed in his heart. Annien nodded, saying that he already knew that he didn't need this magic lab now, and he left the room and came to the core control room on the sixth floor. In the core control room, there were only two mages.
"Hello, Aunt Canrenli." One of them was Canrenli, who disappeared for a while. She became much haggard, but this did not damage her beauty, but her expression was a little cold.
"You're welcome, now you're the commander here." She said coldly.
"His Excellency Annin, I am Past, a level 15 mage, obey your instructions." Another old man bowed to him.
Here, three level 15 high-level mages have been gathered. It can be said that the highest manifestation of all the magic powers in this area is Annien nodded: "Since that's the case, please cooperate with me and deal with this orc invasion."
After a pause, he said again: "Please forgive me. I want to understand the magic tower first. Be familiar with how to manipulate it. Time is very urgent. I guess the Beast Army will arrive this afternoon, so I'm sorry."
"This is what you should do, please."
Annien stopped talking, stared at the exquisite glowing sphere in the center, walked inside, sat in the position in front of the light ball, and then reached out and pressed the light ball.
The power of magic surged, and his consciousness suddenly connected with the entire magic tower. Everything about the mage tower came into his mind, and various information was constantly conveyed. Perhaps an ordinary mage would not be able to adapt to it, but there was no problem with Annien who had begun to get used to the multi-information processing of divinity. Besides, there is also the intelligence brain of the Loli, processing such information is its strength.
Annien closed his eyes, focused his energy, and began to process various mage information. There was not much time. The Luo Li Intelligent Brain had sorted out the information of the mage tower and began to manage the system. The mage tower began to vibrate, and various magical power pipelines were reorganized, but this time was very short. After only twenty minutes, everything calmed down.
The two high-level mages present were not ordinary people. Although they did not know the specific situation, the magic cycle of the entire magic tower could still be felt. Now the mage tower cycle is closely coordinated, and of course they also know it. Suddenly, the two high-level mages had an unfathomable feeling about Annien - they could master the mage tower and optimize it in such a short time. The two of them asked themselves that they did not have such ability.
A transparent magic power field protection cover appeared around Annien. This high-concentration magic power field protection cover can not only defend against magic attacks, but also against physical attacks of a certain level.
"The divine power is activated and the body is sleeping."
This is divine power. If it is mature divine power, it can even make a person survive without breathing or eating. This is the basic power of God - immortality. Now this immature divine power does not have such an immortal effect, but it can at least make him survive without eating or drinking for seven days and seven nights without breathing.
"All magicians below level four are prohibited from fighting. They concentrate on memorizing the first-level magic spell of the magic weapon, contacting military personnel, and try to ensure that the front-line combatants have the effect of temporary magic weapons." Mages below level four are scumbags on a large-scale battlefield, without any effect, and may not even be comparable to a warrior of the same level, but it would be wiser if they play an auxiliary role.
The effect of this magic weapon can be used to demonize one large weapon at a time, while weapons like arrows can be used to demonize about 20 at a time. This has the greatest effect on the battlefield. You must know that the killing of +1 magic weapon is completely different from ordinary weapons, and can greatly enhance the combat effectiveness of warriors and soldiers.
"Magics above level 5 should concentrate on preparing fireball magic, a group attack magic, and do not need to prepare other spells. Since soldiers use giant shields to protect them, they will withdraw immediately once they are fully cast. Please ask Lord Kanlenli and Lord Past to lead the team to support the battlefield in batches."
On a large-scale battlefield, any confusing spells or spells targeting individuals have no meaning. Not to mention anything else, even the eighth-level death finger is not as practical as the third-level fireball technique.
"Magics above level nine are prepared to turn mud into stone to prepare for repairing the broken city walls in the future. Other spells can be prepared freely."
After the calculation of the Loli intelligent brain, Annien immediately issued the general strategy and general orders of the mage group in this war. Of course, the specific matters in the future will be implemented by Canrenli and Paste according to the situation. He himself only needs to grasp the mage tower and use the mage tower to release large-scale destructive magic at the critical moment - the energy reserves of the mage tower and the energy absorbed daily are limited, so he must use it with caution.
Since the overall strategy has been released, it must be coordinated with other troops, so the two mages immediately went out. Time passed quickly, and the basic coordination work was completed, and the ground became faintly shaken, and a large number of orc troops appeared in the castle's vision.
There were actually tens of thousands of orcs troops, which made everyone who saw them stunned and felt cold. After the orcs arrived, they did not attack immediately. They pushed onto wooden frames. According to the situation, there were about a dozen.
"It's a catapult, a catapult, and the orc actually has a catapult!" The soldier shouted with his look in his hand, his voice full of surprise, as if the orcs shouldn't look like a catapult.
However, Annien, who was observing through the Mage Tower, felt that the orcs' intelligence, if used, could create human-like civilizations, and it was natural to invent and use these things. In the past, the split orc tribe lacked the conditions for cultivating wisdom, but now it is completely different. The unified country itself requires a large number of intelligent managers and technical personnel.
Under the command of the orc army, huge stones were thrown into the sky and roared towards the stone city wall. It was obvious that the orcs were not used to using these, so most of them were thrown away. A few fell outside the wall, and a few fell over the wall and smashed inside. Although they did not hit the soldiers, the house suddenly turned into broken walls. The civilians and merchants in the castle began to cry.
There was only one huge rock that fell on the city wall. Due to the thick stone wall, it was just a "boom", and some deformation occurred and did not break.
There were similar catapults in the castle. Under the command of the commander, humans also manipulated the catapults, lit the pieces of stones dripping with oil and things like asphalt to fire, and also threw them far to the orc army.
Burning stones fell from the sky. If they hit the orc army, they could kill several orcs. The most terrifying thing is that the stones would roll and explode, so although there would not be many deaths, there would be many injured orcs.
