The whimpering horn gradually grew louder, and the silver light lit up the battlefield.
As the accompanying mage chanted, the inscriptions on Bold Violet's extraordinary standing armor lit up one after another.
"Hold the shield!"
The commanding noble shouted loudly.
The standing soldiers in full armor raised their shields one after another, and the inscriptions on the shields also lit up. Finally, a honeycomb-shaped magic shield was outlined above the military formation.
Castel's arrows rained down, and the galleys and cannon fired in the river.
However, except for the enchanted arrows used by extraordinary people or the expensive magic-breaking stone bullets, conventional attacks can hardly cause damage to the activated magic energy array.
The two sides soon engaged in battle on the bridge, and as soon as they engaged, it was a one-sided situation.
The nobles who led Castel's soldiers to defend the bridge were almost instantly engulfed by the brilliance of the magic military formation. The silver military formation was like a sharp steel knife, easily tearing apart Castel's line. , penetrated the bridge.
Charlotte, who was watching the battle from the heights of the tower in North Port, could see it more clearly.
After the enemy's magic energy array was deployed, the Beigang Bridge, which the two sides had been fighting for a long time, was captured by the enemy at a speed of almost one meter per second. The soldiers on Castel's side were either swallowed up by the attacking extraordinary military formation, or Being pushed off a bridge.
"Your Excellency, Baron Saumur has sent word that the North Port Bridge cannot be defended!"
"Your Majesty, Viscount Romain-Fol has sent a message that the fleet's magic-destroying ammunition is empty. His Excellency, the Viscount suggests destroying the North Port Bridge to prevent the enemy from crossing the river!"
"Your Majesty the Earl..."
All kinds of bad news came one after another, and the situation quickly deteriorated.
Charlotte also noticed that the magic shield covering the entire North Port was becoming more and more shaky under the gunfire of the coalition fleet, and it seemed that it might be shattered at any time.
"Your Majesty the Earl..."
Viscount Leon Castell looked solemnly in the direction of the North Port Bridge and couldn't help but say:
"Destroy the bridge. We must not let the extraordinary troops cross the river. Once they successfully cross the river, the enemy's rock cannons will also be moved to the north bank, and Beigang will fall into a more dangerous situation..."
"Lord Earl, please order the bridge to be destroyed! Once they successfully control and activate the defensive magic, it will be difficult for us to do it!"
"Yes, the Beigang Bridge can be rebuilt in the future, but Beigang must not fall!"
Other nobles also tried to persuade him.
Charlotte slowly withdrew her gaze and shook her head slightly:
"No, the Beigang Bridge is the key to our counterattack and cannot be destroyed."
"My Lord Count!"
The nobles became anxious:
"If we can't even defend, how can we talk about counterattack?"
"Yes, Bold has too many extraordinary preparations, and we simply can't fight against them..."
Viscount Len Castel also sighed:
"Lord Earl, although Beigang's magic defense system is powerful, there is a limit to what it can withstand. In order to protect the urban area, our shield has almost reached its limit. If we continue to allow the enemy to advance, the consequences will be unimaginable..."
As he spoke, he took a deep look at Charlotte and said respectfully:
"I believe you have considered it and hope to counterattack, but what we need to consider now is how to defend."
"The strength of the spell shield is related to the power of the maintainer. Although President Leiden is a senior Silver Moon mage, it is still too difficult to maintain such a large-scale magic defense."
"We, Castel, are no longer the Castel that possessed the Blazing Sun. Perhaps your father could have easily supported the shield to protect civilians during the Star-Moon War, but now... times are different."
"My Lord Earl, our Castel's magical power is no longer what it used to be. In order to win, sometimes we must make some sacrifices..."
After hearing what the old Viscount said, Charlotte's heart moved slightly:
"Sir Len Castel, what do you mean..."
Viscount Leon Castell gritted his teeth and said:
"Destroy the North Harbor Bridge, lift the protection of the city, and only maintain the magic protection of the Earl's Palace and the fortress, delaying the hold as long as possible!"
Charlotte frowned slightly.
She was about to answer when she suddenly heard sounds like cracking glass coming from the sky.
Charlotte looked up and saw that the magic shield covering North Port suddenly became more unstable, and some weak spots even began to become illusory.
The bombardment by the principality fleet continued.
Under Charlotte's slightly condensed gaze, some stone bullets even successfully penetrated the protection of the shield and fell into Northport City.
A huge roar was heard, thick smoke rose up in the city, and people's frightened screams could be heard from time to time.
Suddenly, another guard hurried over, followed by two personal guards, supporting a pale-faced magic apprentice.
"Lord Earl! There is an emergency report from the Mage Tower!"
the guard said quickly.
Charlotte looked at the apprentice:
"What happened?"
"Earl... Sir, Lord Layton can no longer maintain it. The magic shield... is going to... reach its limit..."
After listening to the apprentice's words, the surrounding nobles changed their colors.
"Lord Earl! We can't delay it any longer!"
shouted Viscount Len-Castell.
Charlotte was silent.
"My Lord Count!"
The old Viscount repeated anxiously.
Charlotte then raised her head. She glanced at the illusory magic shield in the sky and suddenly said:
"Sir Len Castel, you just said...my father once maintained the defensive magic covering the entire North Port for a long time during the Star-Moon War?"
The old Viscount was stunned for a moment and replied subconsciously:
"Yes."
Charlotte mused.
After a few breaths, she suddenly raised her head and said directly to the guard:
"Let's go, take me to the Mage Tower."
The guards and nobles were all stunned, but looking at the girl's serious and beautiful profile, the old Viscount thought of something, and his expression suddenly changed:
"Lord Earl, you...don't you want to control the magic defense system yourself?"
"Yes, your father did maintain a defense system covering the entire Beigang for a long time, but your father is Blazing Sun! It's different!"
"You have indeed grown rapidly and have extraordinary talents, but you are still Silver Moon!"
"The mental strength and magic power of the Blazing Sun Powerhouse far exceed that of ordinary transcendent beings. That is a gap that cannot be bridged by quantity. It is impossible for you to do it, and it may very well be life-threatening!"
"you……"
Charlotte suddenly raised her hand and stopped his words.
She raised her green index finger to her lips, showed a soft and beautiful smile, and whispered:
"How will you know if you don't try?"
As she spoke, she raised her head and devoutly drew a ring cross on her chest:
"It's not just the Third Prince who is fighting us, it's also the Blood Demon Order that he secretly supports..."
"I believe that as long as we have a pious heart, God... will protect us and defeat evil."
Sorry, I had too much work in the morning and never had time to finish it, so I put it off until now.
