Chapter 8: Moon City Break (Part 1)

In the 459th year of the Holy Yuan Dynasty, the Magic Net collapsed

At this time, the northern wasteland was filled with heavy snow like goose feathers, and the huge war between humans and orcs was at a critical moment. With the collapse of the magic net, Juedong City was destroyed, and the huge mage group, which was the mainstay of Moon City and Bushen City, also lost all its power.

The core of the Silver Federation is second only to the richest and most important surface city in the Northland, second only to the deep water. Moon City is the real "treasure of the Northland". Moon City was an extremely prosperous city in the past, with trees and beautiful stone buildings everywhere, ancient oak trees and cobblestone streets on both sides are covered with stone paved sidewalks, balconies and spiral ladders are everywhere, windowsills, railings and pillars are decorated with flowers and plants planted in carved bowls. Many residents play harp, play wind music or sing every day. The beautiful things are admirable and enviable.

Inia led her warriors to patrol. Although it had been four hundred years, the voter seemed to be still radiant, and her reputation became a legend.

"Queen Inia, Queen Inia!" Wherever she went, the spontaneous cheers of the masses did not make her feel happy. Since she lost the throne four hundred years ago, she has never come to this city she created. Now, when this city is facing destruction, she has led her soldiers back without hesitation.

It is completely different from the city I remember. Moon City does not have the bustling scene I imagined. The streets are curled up with people who have not had time to evacuate. Most of them are humans and dwarves. Even though they are wearing thick clothes, they are still trembling among the snowflakes, their eyes are full of helplessness and despair. Only when they see her, a trace of hope appears faintly.

"These are war refugees. If the magic net did not disappear, they would be in a better situation. Now they can only hope that there is still time to change." She said in a low voice, and in a calm voice, there was sorrow: "The ruthless war burned in the north, and the war destroyed their homes, land, and relatives, and now we are powerless."

Four hundred years ago, she also served as queen and fought against orcs. That time, the orcs even broke through the city walls, but at that time, she also had a huge mage group, supported by other sisters, supported by elves, supported by dwarves, and protected by barriers. What about now?

Almost nothing, the elves no longer support her, and the dwarfs basically retracted from the underground - the underground was not the place needed by the orcs, and the other sisters also lost most of their power, and the mage group completely lost their power.

And the most important Moon City barrier is not far away.

Most residents of the North have heard of a powerful, eternal magical realm that defends the Moon City. This barrier can allow many spells to be absorbed by the barrier and form a semi-domain power, allowing various protections in the city, including warriors, to obtain some protection.

However, without the magic net, this barrier can only consume the accumulated power. Once all the energy in the energy pool is consumed, it will be when the barrier completely collapses. If it were normal for the barrier, the climate in the city could be adjusted and it was always as warm as spring. Now, in order to save energy, these functions - Moon City, have been turned off, for the first time, directly exposed to the cold wind in the north, and caused large areas of refugees to be cold.

The magic net collapsed, and his mother, the moon and the magic goddess Meng Qimeis, also lost their senses, and all the priests lost their power. Although this situation is not the first time, believers, mages, and priests are not desperate, but it brings the worst consequence, that is, at least before the goddess recovers, they will become worthless waste.

Even Inia herself, if it weren't for her divine nature and the power of a sorcerer, she would have completely lost her power. The only thing worth celebrating is that in the face of the orc attacks, the churches of other gods in the Moon City firmly supported the war - the goddess of forest Melikay, the Lord of Dawn Lumi Aidi, and several little gods.

Even the church of Annien, the Lord of War. When I think of Annien, I don’t know what it smells like. This half-elf who was once her minister and had a relationship with her is now the whole world, or at least the Lord of War in the human world.

In any case, with the collapse of the Magic Net and the loss of contact with Goddess Mengqi and Mess, only these gods' priests kept healing the soldiers and also performed some of the combat tasks - especially the soldiers, who became the main force of resistance.

Annien's pastor was registering one by one on the street. At this time, they were still helping these refugees retreat to a safe area. Now the city of Bushen is no longer safe. Only by retreating to a location further south of the mainland. Inia knew that most of the refugees would organize the retreat to the second line of defense, and go to the "war fortress" directly controlled by Annien's Church, and specially register many elites among the refugees onshore, absorb and send them to the New World.

But Inia did not mean to object. No matter what, the city lost its magic power and it would be difficult for it to survive the siege of the orc army. In this case, instead of letting the refugees perish together, it would be better to let them have a way out.

The howling wind in the cold winter was swinging, and occasionally a trace of sunlight shone down. Inia looked at the sky, and dark clouds almost enveloped the entire sky. The strong sense of crisis was a divine sense, warning her if she continued to stay in this city, but she just smiled slightly.

I have lived for so many years. If I die in Moon City in battle, it would be considered a kindness to be kind!

If this city she created was to be destroyed, even she herself would destroy it!

The horn sounded, and everyone looked over there immediately.

"The orcs are sieging the city again!" A group of priests riding horses conveyed such a message.

In a few minutes, soldiers came up one by one under the orderly main city walls of the soldiers. Many soldiers were wounded on their bodies. Although the wounds healed briefly, they were not fully cultivated. Some soldiers were already depressed, and there were paladins, priests, and monks in them from time to time.

And the mage basically no longer exists.

Of course, Moon City is not without its advantages. Although it is protected by magic, the city walls of this No. 1 city in the north are also quite magnificent, and there is a large amount of wealth in the city. These wealth has been exchanged for the most elite weapons and distributed to any warrior who is willing to resist the orcs one by one.

The orc snare drums were roaring heavily and powerfully, and sounded like a knock on everyone's hearts. The orderly orc army, arranged in units of tens of thousands of people, moved forward one by one, and even the sound of footsteps turned into loud thunder. Inia, who rushed up the city tower, looked at the orc army below, and her heartbeat suddenly accelerated a little.

"Her Majesty the Queen, the orc army was extremely powerful, and swept the north, winning more than losing less. The whole army gathered unprecedented fighting spirit. Coupled with order training and the large number of weapons obtained from swept the north, the current orc army is really terrible." The bishop of Anin in this city, he was born in this city, and at present, he was only very close to her in the Moon City. Others, even at the most critical moment, still have the difference between the old and new masters: "If there is magic, then such an army still has magic to break. Once there is no magic, there will be very little power to resist it in this world. I think, Her Majesty the Queen, you still..."

"Stop talking, you are trying to persuade me to leave here, so why don't you leave? Your God didn't want you to stay here!" Inia interrupted the bishop's words.

Annien is not like the so-called kind-hearted gods who have no brains to ask for their determination.

"I am a servant of my Lord Anne, but I am also a man born here. I was born here, and this is everything for me, my home, and most of my life, here." The bishop held his own scepter: "If I had been thirty years in the morning, I might have left here, but now, where can I go? But I have arranged for my family to leave here."

"This is also my place of belonging. After I was born, the greatest glory of my life is here. I created it and will be destroyed with it. This is my choice. Moreover, my children are also distributed everywhere, and they will be very safe. If this is the case, why should I give in?" Inia said lightly, without boasting, no excitement, only a calm explanation.

The two were speechless, and the horn below sounded again. The three teams of 10,000 people, with their armor, slowly stepped forward. After them, the huge trencher was ready.

"Start!" The orcs issued an order, and suddenly, hundreds of big rocks flew up, passed through the air, and fell on the city wall.

A light yellow light appeared on the stone wall. The barrier was activated. The huge rock fell on the wall and trembled. The sound of the gravel exploded was not much smaller than that of the fireball explosion. If the stone fragments were at close range, they could also pass through the human body. Even if they were protected by armor, they might injure the internal organs or break the ribs of the person in the area.

"Boom!" A huge rock fell down with a roar, and happened to hit a nearby stone chop. Even with magic protection, the stone chop exploded immediately, and various fragments flew outwards. More than a dozen nearby soldiers screamed in succession.

The unsettling dust and stone powder filled the air, temporarily blocking the mortal's sight. Nearby, the soldiers' painful moans came, and the priest who was preparing behind immediately rushed forward.

If there is magic, a mere breeze technique could blow away the smoke, but now I can only grop on it. Fortunately, the wind was still relatively strong at this time, and I saw someone in a few seconds - it was a very miserable situation.

"People who are not fractured are treated on the spot, and those who are fractured are treated simply and transported to the bottom." The bishop immediately issued an instruction. If such stones were not directly hit and protected by armor, there would not be many deaths on the spot.

The huge rocks are still being fired. If there is a complete barrier, such an attack will not have much effect. However, now, the entire stone wall is raging with the catapult, and the stone bombs even landed in the city, slamming several houses, chaos and panic spread out.

However, the trenched trenchers were of course unbearable to use. After twenty minutes, these trenchers basically stopped, either without stones or were broken, and the orcs' horns sounded again.

"Arrowman, shoot!" With the order conveying the entire city wall, the sound of the bowstrings vibrating on the stone wall almost rolled into one piece, and arrows shot out from the stone wall and fell into the orcs like raindrops. Even with the protection of armor, the orcs approaching the city wall like tide suddenly overturned a large area.

"Transfer the wounded soldiers!" The orcs also commanded the same. Rows of orc priests in armor rushed up immediately. They checked the orcs and pulled back the seriously injured orcs on the ground.

In a few minutes, the sound of hissing was filled with the city and the bloody smell of death spread on the battlefield. Just under the city not far from the Queen, more than a dozen orc corpses were already everywhere. They were all at the key points, with terrifying and unbelievable expressions in their eyes. The blood had already oozed out like a fountain, dyeing a large area of ​​white snow red...

No matter what, the armed forces around Inia are of course the elite, especially a group of elves who followed the Queen's personal elves. When they shot, they were like one shot.

Even if there is no magic net, you can cast spells with the magic power hidden in your bloodline. Although Queen Inia's warlock level is not high, it is only at level eight, it is enough to cast some powerful attack spells, especially she also has legendary power and divinity. The combination of these two greatly enhances the power of her spells.

She reached out and activated the magic power in her body. A small fireball immediately appeared on her hand. The fireball was rapidly increasing, and its light suddenly illuminated around her. After a few seconds, a large fire ball fell violently and attacked directly into an orc array...

"Boom!" Even though it was snowy, the dazzling fire still illuminated half of the battlefield. The terrifying flames flew around, surrounding hundreds of fully armed orcs, and then exploded.

"Who has such powerful magic? Can you restore magic?" Many people were stunned.

"Ben, that's the great Queen Inia. Now she is only her and a limited number of warlocks, and she still retains some magical power?" The soldiers who saw nearby were all talking excitedly: "Have you not noticed the previous few battles? It's so too Ben."

"Quick, retreat!" But there were already people around Inia who saw the movement not far away. Everyone nearby had already gained experience and quickly retreated and hid in a blind spot.
