The army is a war machine, and the magician group is the core of the machine. They will not just wait to be bombed.
With the configuration of the Fourth Legion, only half of the fourth and fifth rings are used to cast tactical magic. The main task of the other half and the other three-ring magicians is to ensure that the war magicians can successfully complete the spell casting.
The flight direction and curve of the enemy's shells were very precise, but they had no chance to land and were taken away by several three-ring spells in the air.
"Swallowing the Starry Sky: Sign in to Become a God"
The danger is over, and the chanting of spells officially begins.
Upfapu looked up at the sky, and there were two more small things hovering in the sky. They were very high. He probably knew that there would be no chance during the day.
The situation last night was shocking. Some of the reduced magicians were staring at the sky today.
"General, do you want me to go take them down?" the general's guard asked thoughtfully.
Although Upfapu is not called a prince, he is of direct royal bloodline and is protected by a six-ring magician.
The Sixth Ring Magician is always a master wherever he goes, and it is inevitable to cherish his life. Although he is a guard in name, Upfapu is not very capable of commanding. For example, it is absolutely impossible to let him go to the front to preside over tactical magic. The reason why he is willing to take the initiative now is because the relationship between the two of them is usually not tense.
"Are you sure?"
"I haven't tried it, so I don't know." The guard told the truth.
People yearn for the sky, but mages who have truly mastered the ability to fly are reluctant to fly, especially to fight in the sky, because there is great terror hidden in flying.
Putting aside the loss of magic power caused by flying, once a person is in the sky, there is no cover, and the earth spells with the strongest protective power also lose the basis for casting. If the altitude is too high, the effects of the crystal wall system and ice system will also become worse. If you encounter an unavoidable danger in the sky, you will have to use many times more magic power than on the ground to build a defense. However, if you wait until death is imminent to do this step, you will probably not be able to escape death.
It is impossible to play with such a loss if you rely entirely on your own magic power reserves. You must be prepared to sacrifice a large amount of prop reserves.
Scholar-type mages will lose a lot of their magic power in experiments, while magicians will pay more attention to hoarding magic power reserve props on weekdays, so as not to give themselves up for lack of magic power in a fight. Because large natural gemstones are too expensive, and these reserves are mainly disposable props, it is quite troublesome to replenish them if they are lost.
However, even with the aid of props, the guards cannot say that they will be able to defeat an enemy with too many unknown factors. If the battle is dragged to the height of hypoxia, even a sixth-ring magician cannot make any guarantees about the amount of magic power lost.
Upfapu stared at it for a while, feeling that the flying object seemed to be descending, and frowned: "Try it, pay attention to safety, if you can't succeed, just drive them away."
"yes."
The guard here took out a scroll and added two insurances to himself before going to the sky. The group of magicians in front encountered several more rounds of attacks.
Two or three shells were fired each time, and they were shot down every time. They couldn't understand what the other party was doing.
The magician group's chant was about to end, and suddenly a row of cannonballs were thrown from the city wall at the same time!
No, it's not over yet.
The shells of the first row were still in the air, and the shells of the second row were already flying.
The first row of shells had not been attacked by the magician, and the third row also emerged from behind the city wall.
There were no sweat glands on Upfapu's hair-covered body, but this scene also frightened him, and the hair all over his body stood up. The rate of fire of this gun was completely out of common sense. Could it be that there were actually hundreds of guns inside?
But the hundreds of cannons don't match the flight line of the cannonballs we see in front of us.
"Don't worry about the sky, help the front first!" He shouted to inform the guards who had just taken off.
In the early morning, more than a dozen noble disciples of the Imperial City had been lost. If there was another big wave, I was afraid that I would have to be sent to guard the border to solve the problem.
The guards also knew that the magicians group could not deal with such a high density of attacks, so they rushed directly to the area where the magicians group was located without hesitation to help intercept the shells.
A high level not only means a large amount of magic, but also a higher hit rate when using low-level magic than a low-level mage.
Wild mages would prefer to use range spells, but combat is no child's play. Once a range spell is used to obscure one's own vision in the situation at hand, it will undoubtedly be courting death. The guards of the sixth ring can only use rapid double-shot single-target magic to help the magician group check for leaks and fill in the gaps.
Maybe it’s because the cannonballs don’t fly very fast, but the effect is pretty good, and no fish slipped through the net in the first three waves.
The sudden change makes people unprepared.
It seemed that some of the rounds in the third wave were not broken into pieces. When faced with the fourth wave of shells a few seconds later, the magician group had no reaction at all!
It was mixed with anti-magic weapons, just like it was in the early hours of the morning!
Dozens of shells fell into the crowd, and people fell like wheat being cut.
Fortunately, the magicians all had magic props in reserve. They tried their best to save themselves but still managed to open a few powerful shields. Otherwise, the consequences would be disastrous.
A total of six waves of artillery shells came down, and the tactical magic casting position was completely destroyed.
Do you want to withdraw?
While hesitating, Upfapu activated his magic power and let himself float.
In order to avoid premature death as a general, he did not float too high, but only slightly improved his vision.
After confirming that the team responsible for tactical magic of the magician group was still stable under the baptism of gunfire, he fell back to the ground.
After six rounds, there were still a few sparse cannonballs flying in, but at this time there was already a mage who could release magic and restore safety.
At this time, the tactical magic was finally released.
There was a ground movement near the city wall, and someone could clearly be seen being thrown up from the city wall.
There were bumps and convexities on the flat ground, and the city walls were deformed, but strange things also happened.
The earthquake calmed down much faster than expected, and the city wall was deformed. One area was even a few yards higher than the side, but there was no breakage or overall collapse, and the basic shape of the city wall was still maintained.
"Strange, why didn't it collapse?"
Maybe the spellcasters were still affected by the anti-magic weapons, or maybe there was a large protective magic circle in the city.
Now is not the time to think about such things. Upfap didn't think too much and nodded to the flag bearer beside him.
The baggage was burned, and the Fourth Army had no qualifications to drag it down. Tactical magic was successfully cast, and it took a lot of magic to intercept the artillery shells. The magicians could not wait for a few days to recover, so they had to fight today.
The flag bearer waved the flag and issued the order for the entire army to attack!
Three miles away, it took only a few minutes for the army to rush over, but this time the vanguard was not the army, but some of the civilians recruited outside Pangxun City, about five thousand people.
The survival rate of cannon fodder basically doesn't need to be considered, so you have to pay enough to buy your life, and you have to do something rough to get thousands of people.
In short, there were five thousand weak cannon fodder in front, and they had to carry logs and stairs. The army could not get up quickly, and it had already been more than ten minutes before they reached the city wall.
During the process, a group of magicians also mixed in the military formation in groups, intending to get closer and cast group spells with weaker effects.
However, the mages seemed to be marked. The shelling that resumed intermittently a few minutes after the earthquake was always staring at them. Although the shelling basically missed the moving target, it was hard to say that it was bad luck.
Unfortunately, it was quite chaotic at this time, and Upfapu couldn't see clearly whether any magician died.
