The dazzling magic pattern exploded at low altitude, emitting a striking and bright brilliance~
Since this magic pattern early warning system was set up, it has not been activated a few times. Especially since Standwick has been peaceful and prosperous for nearly a hundred years, everyone can't help but look at it in the clouds for a while, and they don't know who it is.
So bold, daring to set off such a big "fireworks" in the heart of the kingdom for excitement...
It's just that the people in the city are talking about it, but they don't know that other security departments in the kingdom who have observed this movement are completely in chaos - although this security alarm comes unprepared... but they can still inquire about relevant information and contact them.
What is the corresponding reaction mechanism?
But because of the unfamiliar relationship, all the systems, including the city gate garrison, the palace garrison, and the royal magic group, suddenly became lively~
In a place that ordinary people cannot see - first of all, all the four-way city gates of Standwick were temporarily closed in an emergency!
This is undoubtedly a big trouble for a large number of people waiting to enter and leave the royal capital, but compared to the trouble they encounter, the dumbfounded people are more curious about what is happening now!
You must know that even at night, the royal capital has never been in the habit of closing the city gates, but it only sends extra personnel to patrol and guard. How many years has this Erathia been at peace? Have you ever heard of the royal capital being closed at night?
From the city?
Something that hadn't happened in decades, suddenly happened like this... Even a fool must know that something big has happened!
There was chaos at the four city gates~
The city gates were urgently closed, the people wandering around were dispersed, and defensive beds and crossbows were set up inside and outside the city... In addition, manpower had to be allocated to support the investigation at the place where the warning signal was sent in the city. It can be said that it was a chaotic situation.
A pot of porridge!
The discipline of the palace garrison is relatively better than that of the city defense force~
The starting points here are all veterans of the kingdom with second-level strength and above, or they are the descendants and nephews who are highly valued by the young nobles and have good strength. They all hold the title of "Knight", although they do not have the title of "Knight".
】 level of strength, but it is also infinitely close to the strength level of the recruits of the Guards.
In addition, there will not be too many idlers and chaos in the palace area. Therefore, after noticing that a "major security warning" occurred outside the royal city that was rare in a century, they immediately reduced the defense outside the palace and restricted all movement.
The personnel stepped up their guard at key points, their swords were unsheathed and their bows were strung, looking nervous...
But the one with the fastest reaction speed must be the Royal Magic Group!
The nature of the royal magic group is similar to that of the kingdom's guard army. They are both key departments of the kingdom that are directly responsible for the royal family of Geffenhart!
It's just that the journey of "magic" is mysterious and weird, and the knowledge is vast. Even the royal family with long history can't give much help in the selection of magic talents. It can only be said that it is as satisfying as possible in terms of financial resources, and at the same time, it is tilted in the diplomatic direction.
Brakada, in order to strengthen exchanges with powerful magic countries, in order to obtain more input of magic knowledge...
But Erathia's main magic school still follows the path of light magic - this is very different from Brakada's "broad and profound" and "letting a hundred flowers bloom" magic research atmosphere, but it also makes Erathia specialize in light magic.
Along the way, magic has the foundation to continuously push up the level of magic.
After noticing the magic warning signal coming from the outer city, the inner city magic tower warning and detection network from the same source first sent the warning signal.
Although magicians usually do things slowly and pay attention to the research of magic, they cannot be rushed or slow when performing magic. They have to find a just right rhythm... But after all, they still have "subordinates" who are their immediate bosses, and Braka.
It is different from those great magicians who are their own lords.
As soon as the "live" came, the whole system was not too slow to operate. It immediately opened a full-shielding magic circle that was difficult to open in the capital for more than ten years, and began to search the city for special foreign magic.
source--
The minds of spell casters are still very clear, and they also pay attention to letting professional people handle professional matters~
If they were ordinary thieves, wouldn't the city defense patrol guards be able to deal with them?
If there is a large-scale attack by foreign enemy soldiers, will it be the turn of the person who gets the position in the outer city to send a magic warning?
What I'm afraid of is a sudden attack by a small group of individual strong men!
And among individuals with powerful power, "magic individuals" have always had much more terrifying lethality and explosive power than warriors!
Take the same sixth-level high-level existence as an example. Although a [Knight] can kill the enemy and break the army, he must kill people one by one, right?
But once you have the kind of "demon warrior" who has mastered special powers, you can kill people in small groups~
If this were replaced by a genuine spell caster... If a sixth-level spell caster casually throws a third-level magic, more than a hundred people will die easily. With just a few spells, a small block will be completely destroyed.
Already~
If we hold back another level 4 or higher wide-area magic... then the news that Standwick was attacked tomorrow will probably spread throughout Entagri!
Therefore, the royal magic group is more worried about the problems of individual spell casters. They immediately sense the magic source of the whole city through the core magic circle, especially the dangerous areas where warnings are issued, and are repeatedly reflected by invisible magic fluctuations.
Scanned several times!
But what makes all the magicians look at each other is...the whole city has been swept. Although there are fluctuations in high-level magic individuals in the city, those are all great mages who have been recorded for a long time~
After being searched by magic power, each one of them honestly typed out their own magic pattern code, and quickly connected to the magic communication. It didn't look like there was any rebellion...
The most outrageous thing is the area where a major security warning was issued. The magic ripples were searched several times. Except for some low-grade and low-level magic sources, they looked like mercenaries and adventurers stranded in the city.
There is not even a suspected external source of magic power that can reach the third level!
this……
Is it an accidental false alarm? Or is there really a strong man with unclear ideas who caused a riot in the outer city?
The spellcasters who had no idea could only follow the procedures and choose to send the fighting monk troops to emergency reinforcements to the location of the accident...
Liu Yifei was not very familiar with the overall defense measures of "Old Standwick". On the contrary, he was much more familiar with the "New Standwick" that would be re-established by Queen Catherine in the future - after all, in Liu Yifei's impression, "Old Standwick"
After losing the protection of its core magical power, "Derwick" obviously had thick walls, sufficient soldiers, and a lot of various resources, but it was forced to be breached by the evil alliance of dungeons and demons in a few days, so that the entire city was massacred.
city……
In Liu Yifei's opinion, this is almost a shame for the entire Erathia!
This is the ultimate disgrace to all military forces in the royal capital, including the Kingdom Guards!!!
But no matter how rubbish this "old antique" defense mechanism was, Liu Yifei knew that the "fun" this time was really big when he saw the magic warning signal rising into the sky...
But he himself doesn’t care at all~
Rather, Liu Yifei believes that the bigger this incident gets, the safer he will be!
Liu Yifei still didn't believe it. With his "value", he would not be able to defeat some small city guard patrols - even if the group he was about to "retaliate" included so-called nobles, so what?
As long as the "method" of attack is chosen in place, the other party will have no choice but to hold its nose and accept this fate...
Therefore, Liu Yifei did not look anxious at all. Instead, he whistled and said to the squadron leader: "You have shaken people in place, right? What's next? Do we need to sit down and wait together?"
Shake people?
The squadron leader didn't quite understand what Liu Yifei meant, but although this incident was bound to have a major impact on his future, the murderer opposite him was almost certain to die. He felt doubly relieved and said fiercely to Liu Yifei: "It's your turn to die.
You extinct fanatic! You won’t be able to fly even with wings this time! When you fall into my hands, I will remove every bone in your body!!”
"If your tone is not small, it depends on whether you have the ability~"
Just as Liu Yifei was about to rush over and give this old man a punch, he suddenly heard the faint sound of a powerful crossbow string collapsing! At the same time, from the crowd of onlookers outside, vaguely familiar "be careful" warnings came from several directions.
Voice.
The next moment, Liu Yifei exerted force on his legs and feet and jumped out with all his strength, but he did not stop at all. With the "double" sound all the way, he suddenly turned back to the "mountain of meat" behind him to find cover.
Sure enough, as he approached the area where the wounded soldiers were, the intensity of the shooting from the opposite side visibly decreased, and instead caused another commotion among the surrounding crowd.
It turned out that since the squadron leader left the guard post and came with his people to support, he had already sent people to send messages to other groups under his command, so that they could come to support as soon as possible.
It's just that things "deteriorated" so fast that even the squadron leader himself almost suffered a big loss at the hands of Liu Yifei, so he forgot about the fact that follow-up reinforcements would arrive soon...
As for the other teams, after receiving the order from their superiors, the first thing they thought of was to return to the guard station to strengthen their equipment. Although the patrol guards usually wear helmets, armor, swords and guns,
The real killing weapon in Erathia's military system is the "crossbow"!
Hard crossbows, continuous-fire crossbows, machine crossbows, fighting crossbows and other war weapons made with exquisite craftsmanship allow humans with insufficient talent to compete with elven shooters who have unique advantages in shooting!
Similarly, the "crossbow" has always been a sharp weapon in the army, and it is not allowed to be equipped to soldiers, especially the crossbow that is not allowed to be strung. Once the crossbow arrow is strung, it has considerable lethality and deterrence within a hundred or ten meters, especially now
The Erathian army is filled with countless "civilian generals and civil servants". These people occupy a large number of non-commissioned officer seats at all levels. However, they are very capable. There are not even one out of ten who can "match their positions with virtue"!
Therefore, these hard crossbows are a greater threat to these people!
I'm afraid that one day one of my subordinate soldiers will accidentally misfire and kill me... Then the fun will be really big~
Therefore, in recent years, soldiers have become more and more strict on the control of hard crossbows and other weapons on duty, and they will not easily hand over such medium and long-range weapons with terrible lethality to their subordinates.
But this time the squadron leader has spoken... So it's time for those hard crossbows in the guard station to be unveiled? I just don't know if the squadron leader himself took those good guys away before...
With such a delay, the subsequent reinforcements will be a step too late~
When we rushed outside the crowd, we happened to see the magic warning rising into the sky... Although almost everyone didn't know what the "fireworks" in the sky meant... but in short, it felt like something really big happened this time!
Then he got into the crowd and looked up to see someone rushing towards their squadron leader!
Is this okay?
Several of the shooters with the best "shooting skills" in the team raised their hands to take aim, followed by a series of arrows like a rain of arrows!
In fact, it must be said that everyone was too nervous at that moment - after all, they didn't know Liu Yifei's background and intentions, and they were afraid that something might happen to their squadron leader. After all, the "meat mountain" not far away looked like a deterrent.
Perfect!
In fact, these "shots" are the real source of danger!
It should be noted that even if Liu Yifei caught the squadron leader, he would only be able to use his old skills to ask the other party to put on a smoky make-up, but he would just lie down on the ground and suffer some physical pain. Where is that?
And the shootings of those squadron leader's subordinates...
The flying crossbow arrows are blind!!
And for those who can be assigned to patrol guards, how high can their strength be?
If a friendly force were to injure him or something, then even if the squadron leader dies today, it will be in vain~
In particular, the most missed arrow was only half a meter away from the squadron leader's head - but the squadron leader himself and Liu Yifei were several meters apart before!
The sharp crossbow arrow tore through the air and brought out a roar from his "ears" so fast that it even scared the squadron leader's hair to burst! His heart was pounding, and he really wanted to chop the opponent to death.
Already...
While "forcing Liu Yifei to retreat", several "warnings" sounded almost simultaneously from the crowd of onlookers also attracted the attention of the patrolling city guards who came for reinforcements - who dared to issue a warning to the "other party" at this time?
Yes, there is a good chance that there is nothing good about it!
Although it was difficult for the guards to distinguish who spoke, the surrounding citizens who were also listening to the sounds had subconsciously looked towards the source of the sounds, and even instinctively backed away in surprise. This was enough for the guards to immediately tell.
There are "suspicious people" in the crowd - there are only a few burly and strong men gathered in a crowd, which are the most suspicious!
Just looking at the figures of these people, they look like they are not ordinary people. How can ordinary people pretend to be cows?
Some of the people in the audience even carried swords on their backs!
This made it even more clear that the other party's identity was suspicious, causing the guards who came for reinforcements to subconsciously surround him...
