The Black Magic Monastery once again appeared on the streets of Helensa, and also openly assassinated the head of the guard camp of Helensa City. This was not only a conspiracy to fight for the power of Helensa City, but also a challenge to the current power of Helensa City.
A kind of temptation from the people in charge of the city of Sa, or in other words, some people want to know the actual control that Surdak had over the city during the period when he left the city of Hiranza.
Obviously, they were eyeing Baron Carl Casement, who was the lover of Lady Mariana Christie and a close friend of Lord Suldak.
This assassination was carefully planned. The opponent knew Karl's whereabouts well and was able to summon several black magicians to complete the assassination mission.
The only thing the other side missed was that the black magicians they hired were too low-level and could not use high-level black magic during the assassination, which gave Karl a chance to escape.
In the next few days, the entire city of Helensa is under full martial law. Not only the guard camp knights, but also the law enforcement team of the magic union are also participating in the city-wide search for black magicians and anti-crime operations.
.
In the headquarters building of the Hiranza Guard Battalion, the lights are still on in the regimental commander's office.
Even though it was already after get off work hours, the entire building was still running at high speed.
All the knights in the guard camp consciously stayed to conduct a city-wide manhunt.
Karl looked tired. He sat at his desk. There were two steaming cups of lemon tea on the tea tray in front of him, but he didn't drink anything.
His friend Lance was sitting opposite him, staring at the map hanging on the wall. He was silent for a while, and then he noticed that the room had become a little quiet.
"You said who secretly helped us in the assassination incident the night before yesterday?" Karl grabbed his blond hair and asked in a determined tone.
Lance squinted his eyes and said: "Who else could it be? It must be Suldak's follower who stayed in Helensa City, the mysterious Ms. Aphrodite. When I was in Wall Village, I was the first
When I first saw her, I felt that her magic power was unfathomable. She usually wears a mithril mask and likes to wander alone among the mountains in the deserted land."
"Based on my many years of experience in dealing with black magicians, this Lady Aphrodite is proficient in black magic."
"She came to me a month ago. Surdak brought me a batch of magic herbs and asked me to help refine healing potions. I hope Surdak can change the proportion of healing potions and spiritual potions..."
"Yesterday, I went to the village chief of Bright and found out from him that this Ms. Aphrodite is Surdak's liaison officer in Helensa City. She is currently being processed in various workshops in Wall Village.
Almost all the manufactured materials are shipped to Handanar County in the Warsaw plane."
After the magician Lance finished speaking, he showed a proud smile to Karl.
At this time, Karl said belatedly:
"So, my mysterious person this time is a follower of Surdak?"
Lance nodded and said: "That's why I didn't let anyone continue to pursue it. Instead, I searched for the black magicians who participated in this assassination. I didn't expect that in just a few years, there would be another black magician in Helensa City."
Signs of activity at the Magical Priory..."
"Why do you think this follower of Surdak has been staying in the city of Hiranza?" Karl asked with some confusion.
Lance glanced at him, stared into Karl's eyes with a strong questioning look, and said mockingly: "Sometimes I really don't understand how you, the commander of the security battalion, got to be like this in the city now.
It’s such a big move, but I haven’t noticed anything yet…”
"Not only Wall Village, but now the entire Hellanza City is Duck's logistics supply station."
"The entire city is continuously providing a large amount of military supplies to Handanar County in the Warsaw plane. In the recent period alone, the weapons and equipment purchased by Surdak in Hiranza City are almost enough to equip a hundred thousand troops.
A heavy armored infantry regiment of more than 100,000 men."
"Of course, the huge expenses involved are inseparable from the frequent victories won by Surdak's Western Route Army."
The magician Lance is still quite sober, and the law enforcement team recently accidentally discovered that the trading houses in Helensa City were raiding the supply of magic weapons in large quantities. After this period of investigation, Lance discovered that the source of the acquisition of these magic weapons was actually
His friend Lord Surdak.
Unexpectedly, the magic weapons needed by his legion actually boosted the economy of the entire magic industry in Helensa City.
To this day, there are still a large number of magic equipment flowing into Halanza City.
Karl rubbed his hands and his tone was full of uncertainty: "I always feel that I felt Suldak's breath during the assassination incident the night before yesterday..."
When Lance heard what Karl said, he was a little disapproving and said casually:
"Maybe this guy has been away from us for too long and is often missing us. At this time, he is thousands of miles away in the plane of Warsaw. How could he suddenly come back to help us rescue us..."
While the two were talking, a voice suddenly sounded outside the door:
"Report!"
Before Karl could let the man in, the door of the office was pushed open from the outside. The construct knight who walked in was the captain of the first team. He saluted Karl and said:
"Traces of a black magician were found in a residence on the west side of Derek Johns Street, and it was initially determined that it was a contact point for the Black Magic Hermitage."
"Send people to surround the place immediately and try not to let any suspicious person go!" Karl said, patting the table.
"Yes, Captain!" The captain of the first brigade held his chest high and strode out.
At this time, Lance also stood up, pushed open the office window, pulled out a magic broom from the magic pocket, turned over and rode on it, turned to Karl and said:
"I'm going to go over there and see how many black magicians are hidden, and there are so many black magicians living so blatantly under our noses..."
After saying that, Lance flew out of the window on the magic handle, leaving a string of magic light at the end of the handle.
"Hey...you guy, Helensa City belongs to the magic no-fly zone..." Karl stood at the window and shouted towards Lance who disappeared into the night sky.
Lance flew away without looking back.
The law prohibiting flying over the city of Halanza has been promulgated for many years, and magicians have maintained this habit.
However, for the black magicians of the Black Magic Hermitage, they have no such awareness at all and fly around the city on magic harpoons without any scruples.
If the law enforcement team of the magic union wants to capture these black magicians, they also need to ride on the magic harpoon.
…
At the same moment, Aphrodite was standing on the roof of a house on Derek Johns Street, but her body was like a shadow, attached to the chimney on the roof, and actually became completely integrated with the chimney.
It's hard to tell that there's actually a person hiding in that shadow.
Seeing groups of guard camp knights rushing over from all directions in the streets, Aphrodite took a breath and whispered to herself on the roof:
The fat meat that is brought to your mouth will not be eaten this time!
A crescent moon hung high in the night sky, and the entire city of Helensa was filled with bright moonlight. There were almost no pedestrians on the street. There were clear sounds of horse hooves coming from the street, the crisp sound of horseshoes hitting stone slabs.
Sound can travel far at night.
This house is an enclosed courtyard with a row of street-facing storefronts on the west side. There are two huge golden oak trees growing in the courtyard, covered with green acorns.
Unlike other small buildings, the house is a single-family house or a townhouse. This courtyard is built more like a courtyard house, and the inner courtyard has an extremely private space.
The conditions of the people in this courtyard are not very good now. Several people wearing magic robes are all hung on the golden oak tree, their hands and legs are tied tightly with ropes, and each person has a drug inserted into their mouth.
Stinky socks, these people were hung upside down on the branches. There were also many magic books scattered in the yard, as well as other items related to black magic.
As the courtyard door collapsed, a group of knights from the guard camp broke in from the door, and their eyes immediately fell on the group of magicians hanging on the trees.
And those magicians seemed to have seen their relatives at this moment. They were hanging upside down on the tree, and their entire faces had turned purple due to the reverse flow of blood in their bodies. If they hung for a while longer, they might get sick.
The magician's head bled and he died.
Seeing the knights from the guard camp breaking into the yard, they immediately twisted their bodies like silkworm chrysalis with all their strength, trying to attract the attention of the knights from the guard camp as soon as possible.
There is no time in their lives that can compare to this time. From the bottom of their hearts, they hope that the knights from the guard camp will keep an eye on them...
Before the guard battalion knights could completely occupy the courtyard, many magicians flew up in the night sky. They quickly landed on the roof of the courtyard, and each magician's body lit up with a magic pattern array.
Seeing this group of magicians appear in the field of vision, these black magicians hanging upside down on the oak tree completely gave up the idea of escape.
…
Surdak did not pay attention to the situation in Halanza City. He just saved Karl's life that night and immediately returned to the military camp at the northern pass of Moyun Ridge.
As for the specific situation in Helensa City, he left it to Aphrodite to continue to pay attention. Under the premise of ensuring that the situation will not continue to worsen, he will help them if he can...
Surdak began to adjust the garrison plan of the city defense troops at the Beishan Pass Camp. He mainly determined the city defense plan for the large group of evil ghost warriors south of the city wall.
This time the evil ghost army gathered outside the city wall of Beishan Pass again, and it seemed that they were bound to capture the Beishan Pass camp.
However, Surdak has also made full preparations in recent days. Not only Andrew and Wolf Knight Tiger are leading the construction knights to practice city defense battles, but even the indigenous alliance troops are also learning the specifics of city wall defense battles.
fighting style.
They need to get used to fighting on the city walls. Hiding behind the wall stacks and using Paglio spears to kill the ghost warriors that rush up are basic operations.
In the past few days, they were mainly practicing how to use fire phosphorus bombs, explosive barrels, rolling stones, kerosene and other military supplies to defend the city.
Once these armaments are used improperly, they will cause immeasurable devastation to the city wall.
Therefore, Surdak requires every indigenous warrior who climbs the city wall to participate in the city defense battle to be proficient in using fire phosphorus bombs and kerosene...
This time there is no magic bed crossbow on the city wall, so giant crossbow arrows cannot be used to suppress the evil ghost warriors in the initial stage. Compared with the city defenders, the pressure on defending the city will be much greater.
Probably the senior officials of the Evil Ghost Legion also realized how fatal the loss of the north and south gates would be to the Evil Ghost Legion, so they sent so many Evil Ghost warriors to surround the North Pass.
Although the number of the evil ghost army exceeded Surdak's estimate, their own supplies were extremely scarce. Most of the evil ghost warriors came from the camp with hungry stomachs. They came here.
I have been hungry for a long time...
Now it is discovered that the human army has built a city wall, and all the soldiers are hiding on the wall, refusing to easily run out to fight...
For a time, the evil ghost warriors had nothing to do against the human warriors on the opposite side. They could only accumulate more troops and prepare to break down the city wall in one go and retake the north gate of Moyun Ridge.
The hillside outside the city was full of dark ghost warriors. The invisible pressure made all the warriors on the north wall feel a strong sense of panic.
However, in the past few days, there have been construct knights with "halo of courage" under their feet on the city wall, and the soldiers guarding the city wall can no longer feel the strong pressure outside the city.
Andrew and Wolf Knight Tago take turns keeping watch every day to ensure that the Construct Knights can join the battle at any time.
The indigenous warriors of the tribal alliance army are training every day, and everyone is staring at the evil ghost warriors south of the city wall, waiting for how earth-shattering their attack will be.
In fact, each of these aboriginal warriors is proficient in throwing spears, especially throwing spears from a high position. There is no way for the evil ghost warriors to climb the city wall with bare hands while being surrounded by aboriginal warriors.
In addition, they have been frightened by Surdak's cavalry regiment. Because of the fog of war, the evil spirits are completely afraid to fight at night.
This means that as long as the aboriginal warriors defend the attack of the evil ghost warriors during the day, they will have enough time to rest...
Facing the impending battle, all the aboriginal warriors were gearing up, and their optimistic attitude really infected the group of ant cavalry in the cavalry regiment.
Another quiet day passed, and the Beishan Pass was hidden in a huge shadow at dusk. Only the snowy peaks in the distance were still white.
Surdak stood on the city wall, looking at the ghost warriors on the south side of the city wall. Now their army has pressed two kilometers away from the city wall.
Andrew could no longer suppress the fighting spirit in his heart, and kept pestering Surdak every day, begging him to lead the Construct Knights to rush outside the city wall to fight the evil ghost warriors.
This group of giant ghost-striped soldier ants also seems extremely restless every day. If the Druyins hadn't tried their best to suppress them, they might have caused some trouble.
