It's around ten o'clock in the morning, and it's a sunny day again. The room with the window open is particularly bright under the sun.
The sufficient light just met the conditions for the Holy Binding Technique to be cast. After chanting for a few seconds, Messiah waved her hand, and the light in the room began to become distorted. To the naked eye, the light in the entire room became very strange.
Not only is it bright and dazzling, but it also affects people's sight. In Richard's perception, the surrounding things should not change in any way. But through the naked eye, the tables, chairs, lamps and wall hangings in the room can be seen.
The paintings were all distorted and deformed. The table that was supposed to be square now looked like it had been rolled into a circle.
Soon, Richard no longer had the intention to pay attention to the strange changes in the light in the room. Being targeted, he really felt the power of this small forbidden light spell.
His figure became blurred in the distorted light, his head went under his feet, his arms seemed to have grown out of his face, and his thighs went directly to his head, making it impossible to piece together the Stitch Monster.
This look.
Fortunately, this was just a trick of light on vision, and it did not really turn Richard into that state. Otherwise, the body would be so broken that the angel would not be able to save him even with his resurrection spell.
However, although Richard's body was not harmed at this moment, he felt uncomfortable at all. As a master of the Holy Realm, Richard's perception is very sensitive, not only to the surrounding environment, but also to the surrounding environment.
I have a preliminary understanding of the rules. The rules involved in Richard's exercise happen to have a little bit of intersection with light.
However, at this time, Richard's perception of his surroundings was completely confused. At Richard's level, even if he closed his eyes, he could still understand the environment dozens of meters around him as if he had his eyes open.
But now he opened his eyes and didn't know what the thing in front of him was, because what Richard saw now when he opened his eyes was no longer the beautiful face of Messiah opposite him, but half of his own face with surprise.
Moreover, at this time, not only did Richard feel confused, but his whole body was completely out of control. He was very conscious and tried his best to control his body movements, but his current state was like a ghost on the bed, no matter what he did,
No matter how hard I try, I can't move even one finger.
Less than three seconds passed, but it was longer than a few hours. Richard clearly knew that in these less than three seconds, he had completely turned into a piece of meat on the chopping board, and he was not interested in anything from the outside world.
Can't even react.
If he is attacked at this time, he can only rely on the armor on his body and his own flesh and blood to resist. It may be difficult for people below the knight to cause any damage to Richard within three seconds, but facing masters of the same level
If so, three seconds is enough for the opponent to twist off his head and kick him hundreds of meters away.
"boom!"
"Honey, are you okay?"
Richard, who was freed from the control of the Holy Binding Technique, sat down directly on the ground, his face a little pale, and a thin layer of cold sweat broke out on his body.
Although the time he was controlled by the Holy Binding Technique just now was short and it did not cause any real harm to him, it did cause great pressure on his spirit. The passive feeling that he could not resist and that he could not control his life and death at all.
I don't want to feel it anymore.
Messiah saw that Richard sat down on the ground with an ugly expression. She had no time to feel proud. She immediately came to Richard and knelt down, looking at Richard with concern. There was also a glimmer of light in her hand, preparing to release the healing spell of the relationship.
"No, I'm fine."
Richard grabbed Messiah's hand and stopped the other party's movements. He was just under too much mental pressure just now. He was not really injured. The healing spell would definitely not have any effect. He only needed a little rest to recover.
.
After sitting on the ground for a few seconds, Richard and Messiah stood up together, walked a few steps to the chairs and sat down. Except for some thin sweat that had not completely dried up, his face had basically recovered.
Seeing that Richard was fine, Messiah finally felt relieved, and a hint of pride appeared on her face unconsciously.
"My dear, how about it? I'm great!"
"Awesome, of course she is! Messiah is the most talented person I have ever seen."
Richard was short of words and didn't know how to describe his previous feelings. Anyway, if Messiah could master a powerful single-target attack spell, she might even be able to kill Richard directly with the Holy Binding Technique.
Of course, the lethal spell must hit Richard within three seconds, and it must be powerful enough to immediately make Richard lose the ability to resist. Otherwise, due to the huge gap in strength between the two, when Richard regains his ability to move, Messiah will be a little bit weak.
The chance is gone.
Messiah didn't know how frightened Richard had just been. When she heard Richard's compliment, she couldn't help but smile and narrowed her eyes. Richard couldn't help but put his hand on her head and rubbed it.
"Then, can I go on an expedition with you?"
When Messiah raised this question again, Richard finally wavered.
Messiah, who has mastered a small forbidden spell such as the Holy Binding Technique, has a very different meaning on the battlefield. If an ordinary magician is said to have the combat power of several earth levels, Richard will not have it.
Too much of a touch.
But Messiah, who has mastered the Holy Binding Technique, is different. Even if Messiah can only release it once in a short period of time, it is enough to affect the combat effectiveness of the same level as Richard.
Even Richard in the Realm of Realm cannot get rid of this single small forbidden spell. In the same way, the terrifying strongman of the orcs will also be affected by the Holy Binding Technique.
Although the opponent is strong, even stronger than the current Richard, he has definitely not reached the level of jealousy. Only Aragorn has been able to spy on that state for thousands of years.
As long as you are not in the state of jealousy, you will be affected by the Holy Binding Technique. Think about it, on a sunny day, find an opportunity to challenge that strong orc to a duel, and Messiah secretly releases the Holy Binding Technique to control the opponent, even if
Only one second was enough for Richard to tear it into pieces in a fierce battle.
It's impossible to say that Richard will show off the speed of thirteen knives in one second. After one second, the opponent will not even be able to assemble a complete body.
It’s just a matter of Messiah’s safety on the battlefield…
Under Messiah's expectant eyes, Richard finally nodded. A Holy Binding Technique that was enough to directly change the balance of high-end combat power was worthy of Richard sending a group of people powerful enough to provide full-time protection for Messiah's safety.
After going to the battlefield, the two elite swordsmen will follow Messiah inseparably. They don't have to do anything but are responsible for Messiah's safety. Even the Protector of the Country Swordsman will keep an eye on Messiah.
Ya.
Messiah only has two tasks, the most important is to ensure her own safety, and the second is to choose the opportunity to use the Holy Binding Technique on the terrifying orc when they fight, allowing Richard to kill the orc with the strongest combat power in one fell swoop.
.
In the next few days, the Northland has entered an extremely busy state. Hundreds of thousands of troops will be assembled within half a month, which will test the efficiency of the entire Northland.
Transshipping grain and fodder, mobilizing troops, requisitioning ships, and gathering farmers and soldiers, everything was going on at the same time. The war machine in the North was finally fully wound up and running at full speed. Even Viscount Sauter, who had always been leisurely, was here.
Under the influence of this atmosphere, he became serious. He no longer even attended his favorite circus, but patrolled the territory every day with his sword in hand, showing that the Hunter family attached great importance to this expedition.
On the contrary, Richard was free when everyone was busy. Beidi had actually long been accustomed to running on its own without Richard. Richard only had to make a general decision, and he hardly had to make any decisions in the future.
If he intervenes, the bureaucrats in the North can do things beautifully.
As for Richard himself, he is taking advantage of these few days to enjoy the rare time together with Messiah, and by the way, try more to see if he can give birth to a little life...
…
…
Clay City
If the atmosphere in Northland at this time is fulfilling and busy, the atmosphere in Chris City is tense and desperate.
After the centaurs entered the war, the Western Army, which had been galloping across the Great Plains and played a great role in containing the orcs, suffered heavy losses and basically lost its combat capability.
Without the restraint of the Western Army, the orcs quickly uprooted all the castles and strongholds around Clays City, completely turning Clays City into an isolated city. Although there were nearly 300,000 defenders in the city, but in the hundreds of thousands of people,
There is simply not enough to see in front of the army of beastmen. Everyone knows that the fall of the city will happen sooner or later. Their only role is to support it for a while and buy some more time for the royal capital behind them.
The only favorable condition for the defenders is that they have sufficient supplies. After the eldest prince took charge of Clay City, he violently conquered the nobles inside and outside the city and hoarded a lot of supplies such as grain and grass in the city. This city has several
In a city of 100,000 people, food can last for more than half a year.
"kill!"
"Come on!"
Below the city, the orcs used that light to launch a tentative attack just as the sky turned white.
Although it is a tentative attack, it is not bad at all. The central plain is the most important territory of the human kingdom. It is not only the royal capital and several big cities that are valuable, but also any town from the perspective of the orcs.
Rich as hell.
The orcs not only plundered enough food, but also obtained a large amount of materials and captured many human craftsmen.
The attacking orcs had no shortage of siege equipment at all. When they came up, there were hundreds of shield vehicles at the front, covering the attack of the troops behind them.
Behind the shield vehicle were many soldiers carrying long ladders, and a few of the most threatening Jinglan vehicles were slowly advancing.
"Boom! Boom! Boom!"
Hundreds of trebuchets hit the city wall of Clais City with stone bombs intensively. The sound of the collision of stones never stopped for a moment. Circles of dust were swaying on the city wall, and from time to time there would be...
The hiding soldiers were hit by stone bullets, splattering blood all over the ground.
Those who were more lucky were killed on the spot, while those who were less lucky were hit half to death by stone bullets and fell to the ground screaming. The companions around them did not dare to come up to end the pain in advance, so they suffered more for nothing.
However, although the noise caused by the intensive throwing of stones by the orcs was large, it was still difficult to pose a great threat to Chris City. At most, it was only a blow to the morale of the defenders. After all, the walls of a large city like Clay City were made of large pieces.
It is made of bluestone strips. A stone bullet hitting it will not pose any threat to the wall except leaving a crater.
With such a thick city wall, even early artillery had no way to deal with it, let alone some trebuchets. In the end, they had to fight close to each other to decide the outcome.
As the orcs' shield carts got closer and closer to the city wall, the long-range weapons on Clays City also began to counterattack.
The dense arrows hit the shield car and made a "duo, duo" sound, making it difficult to penetrate the reinforced shield car.
But occasionally, a giant arrow fired from a bed crossbow will directly hit the shield car head-on. The powerful force will directly cause the shield car to explode. The thick wooden planks that originally protected the soldiers behind will immediately turn into a roaring god of death, and the scattered wood chips will
It splashed out like shrapnel from an exploding artillery shell, knocking down the person pushing the cart to pieces.
"Damn! These weaklings!"
When the shield cart was shattered, the soldiers pushing the cart behind were also exposed. At first, they were behind the shield cart, and they were far away. The human commander on the city wall couldn't see clearly yet. When he saw it clearly, he reluctantly
He kept yelling angrily.
Because the soldiers pushing the shield cart turned out not to be orcs, but human soldiers wearing armor. Judging from the armor on their bodies, many of them were garrison troops from various cities, and some were directly soldiers who escaped from Longxingguan.
, they actually surrendered to the orcs and were sent as cannon fodder to attack the city.
"Set me an arrow! Don't be soft!"
"Hot oil! Hot oil is ready!"
"I'll burn these soft bones to death in a moment!"
The commander was surprisingly angry, and he hated the humans who participated in the siege even more than he hated ordinary orc warriors.
On the other side, the great prince Wolf, as the supreme commander of Clay City, was also watching the battle with his adjutants from high on the city wall, observing the orcs' tentative attack.
Regarding the appearance of humans in the orc team, the eldest prince's reaction was very calm. No race lacked warriors who were willing to sacrifice, nor did they lack weaklings who just wanted to survive for a while.
He is more concerned about the strength, layout and combat strength of the orcs so that he can make some targeted adjustments.
"The orcs have sufficient supplies. It's just a tentative attack. So many siege equipment have been mobilized."
"There are a lot of troops. I'm afraid there will be more in the next few days. The next battle will not be easy."
"Your Highness, before the orcs have completed the encirclement, why don't you retreat to the royal capital first? If it's too late, you won't have a chance."
"If I leave, who will guard Clay City?"
"And our Iron Guards! The Iron Guards will definitely not disappoint His Highness, as long as His Highness leaves safely..."
The adjutant was persuading excitedly, but the eldest prince stopped him. He had no idea of leaving, and he never had the option of withdrawing from the royal capital.
"My Iron Guard is the Iron Guard. There is no need to mention this matter again. Let me inspect the city wall again to see if there are any places that have not been considered..."
"Yes! Your Highness!"
Withdraw the royal capital?
Hey, if he dared to escape back to the royal capital alone, the father on the throne would dare to kill him as a sacrifice. The Charman family could never tolerate a prince who ran away from battle.
Fortunately, that boy was sent to the Northland...
When turning around, the eldest prince subconsciously looked to the north. That seemed to be where all his hopes were placed...
