The explosion occurred at a street intersection less than a hundred meters away from the Banshee Castle Tribunal. There are core buildings such as the Palace of Power and the Government Affairs Office nearby. The streets nearby are always heavily guarded, with soldiers patrolling day and night, and petty thieves dare not come.
.
But no one noticed the several large wooden boxes stacked on the street. They were transported by a carriage and looked a little shabby, but they were neatly stacked and seemed to be the property of a certain noble family.
The sheriff on the street noticed these strange boxes and even questioned the coolie who moved them. But he did not dare to move them, thinking that they were the belongings of some important person, and he would be fulfilling his duty if he could report them for registration.
result......
The explosion shook the entire Banshee Castle. The loud noise was accompanied by a huge earthquake, as if the wrath of the gods had descended here. The building shook, furniture shifted, lights shook, and flatly placed items fell. Countless people were unsteady on their feet and fell.
Dazed and frightened.
Compared with the city-wide chaos caused by false news last time, the damage caused by this explosion was obviously more serious.
For example, the Tribunal was the closest to the explosion point. The outer wall of the building tilted due to the ground vibration caused by the explosion, and part of the wall collapsed. The scales symbolizing justice and impartiality on the spire of the Tribunal collapsed, and a hole was broken in the spire.
Lord Friedman is convening the nobles in the city to discuss the issue of military expenditures in the palace of power, asking the nobles of each family to contribute according to their position and wealth.
When the explosion occurred, the mural on the top of the hall was shattered, like a wall that had been in disrepair, with large pieces falling off. The crystal chandelier shook violently, and the candles on the chandelier broke, falling into the middle of the quarreling nobles.
No one knew what happened, and everyone's first thought was to defend and avoid. Because the sound and vibration were too strong, many wizards among the nobles immediately opened portals to escape. Those who could not escape sought cover.
Friedman thought it was an earthquake. He first hid under the long and thick table in the hall. When the ground stopped shaking, he quickly rushed outside the hall. Only when he got outside did he see rising and rolling objects two hundred meters away from him.
of explosion smoke.
What the fuck is going on?
The explosion ended and the poisonous smoke spread. Those who were not killed on the spot were trying to escape. The power of the destruction on the scene was stronger than a dragon's breath, completely exceeding the limit of energy that an individual could control.
Adrian and others hid more than 600 meters away, thinking that they would be fine at such a long distance. In fact, they were afraid that the power would not be enough to kill the target, so they placed 200 kilograms of magic explosives on the street where Bishop must have passed by.
Meow Meow was responsible for keeping an eye on the target as he left home and boarded the carriage. Old Bank predicted the approximate time when the target would pass by. Mondino summoned a skeleton rat from the sewer and placed a magic detonator with a timer on the boxes of explosives.
However, the damage caused by the explosion frightened these people so much that they did not bother to evaluate the damage effect and immediately fled in panic. Because the violent explosion caused the vibration of the magic network, this big trouble must be dealt with by tall people.
When the smoke and dust dissipated, a large crater seven or eight meters deep and more than thirty meters in diameter appeared at the site of the explosion.
The soil in the pit was charred black, and acrid white smoke continued to emit. Many people did not die from the explosion, but inhaled a large amount of white smoke that spread, causing nausea, chest tightness, vomiting, mouth and nose bleeding, red eyelids and other poisoning symptoms.
Due to the pressure generated by the explosion, a two- to three-meter slope of earth rose outside the 30-meter-diameter pit. The floating soil raised by the explosion fell more than 500 meters around, and the buildings within this range suffered varying degrees of damage.
A full quarter of an hour after the explosion, Friedman led more than half of the city's elite into the explosion point area. They all thought that some terrible monster from the outer plane had come to the city, and it was not unusual for a god to appear.
But apart from the horrifying explosion point and the surrounding ruins of destroyed walls, nothing was found. The explosion changed the original topography and turned a bustling street into ruins.
Friedman himself stood speechless for a long time near the explosion point, unable to figure out what happened. He didn't even know the specific losses and was confused.
Until that night, all the prophecy wizards in Banshee Castle worked together to trace the explosion and got a clue from the gods - the explosion was caused by Victor Hugo's men, with the purpose of getting rid of those who committed war crimes in Dense Fog Town.
Bishop.
"The power of this explosion is enough to get rid of me, the entire Butch family, and everyone here. The monster in the Black Forest is not just talking, he really wants to get rid of us all."
Lose.
Are you still concerned about my collection of special war funds? Are you still preventing me from recruiting more troops? Are you still unwilling to hand over the war materials you have stored at home?
Do you plan to let the enemy step on your corpses after you die and take away all your money, women, and treasures? What are you waiting for? Fight to the death, we have no way out."
At night, in the destroyed palace of power, hundreds of nobles from Banshee Castle sat in messy seats, listening to Lord Friedman shouting and delivering an impassioned mobilization speech.
The explosion during the day deeply hurt the entire elite of the Banshee Castle, and they truly felt the threat of death. It would be too stupid to worry about money and power at this time. Survival is more important than anything else.
Victor Hugo is serious, he is not just talking, he has enough power of action. If similar explosions happen a few more times, Banshee Castle will be completely destroyed without a fight.
All noble property and status will be reduced to nothing.
Even the envoys from various cities in the North were shocked. They sent magical messages to their respective ruling families to inform them of the tragic explosion that occurred in Banshee Castle.
The explosion was like a vicious and merciless whip, which struck the nobles with deep fear and awakened them suddenly. This changed the northern nobles' original laziness and wait-and-see attitude, forcing them to truly unite and exert all their strength.
Combat.
There were only a few candles left on the chandelier in the hall of power. But in the dim light, the usually arrogant and arrogant dignitaries were rarely angry and generous. They generously donated money and people and decided to fight to the death with Victor Hugo.
.
The special envoys from each city had repeatedly argued over the issue of sending troops and military expenditures, but they stopped arguing now and went back to deploy troops to prepare for a fight to the death with the monsters in the Black Forest. After all, the Banshee Castle is finished, and all other cities must be finished.
"Your Excellency Friedman Butcher, please hold on for one month. I will return to the Horn Castle now. Our reinforcements will definitely come in a month."
The special envoy from the Horn Castle set an example and left overnight without saying a word. The special envoys from other northern cities also promised to do their best to provide assistance as soon as possible.
This explosion even triggered a strong move among the exiles in the Principality of Os. Viscount Tarlac also brought hundreds of subjugated nobles to express their willingness to support the Butchi family and ensure that the Banshee Castle would never fall into the hands of the blasphemers.
After all, without the Banshee Castle, these subjugated people would not even have a place to stay.
While Friedman gathered people and power by selling misery, Inisha stood quietly on the slope next to the explosion point. She sneered in her heart, full of ridicule.
"Cyric, why don't you say something? Why don't you come out and express your feelings? Don't you think the game is very interesting and you want to add chips to the game? Where are the chips? What can you say?"
Her Royal Highness the Princess was suppressed by the evil god, and it was rare for her to be happy for more than a year.
A black mist flows inside and outside the explosion point, passing through the soil. Its speed is fast and slow, as if it is looking for something, and it seems equally confused.
Cold anger came from the black mist, and it cursed and yelled: "This is wrong, this shouldn't be, this is beyond the power of the ninth level arcana. 'Midnight' will not tolerate the existence of such a power that breaks the rules. She will stop it.
Victor Hugo."
Inisa sneered again: "Oh..., how will the goddess of magic stop her? Will she come down to earth like you?"
The black mist swished towards Inisa and condensed into a thin, pale man. He stared into Inisa's eyes and cursed angrily: "In order to maintain the magic network, that rotten bitch will do anything.
