When the news came, the Holy City, which had just calmed down, fell into panic and fear again. The outcome of the war, no matter who wins or loses, will be a disaster for the people.
Yin Lian had already been prepared and immediately arranged for the people in the temple to lead a group of believers out of the church area and back to the residential area. At the same time, she began to send mages out of the city to fight.
Although this process was not easy, Sardesi still found an opportunity - Yin Lian and the Black Sage quickly separated into two separate operations - Yin Lian went to the North City Gate, and Black Sage went to the South City Gate.
There is naturally a reason for this allocation. Because the church also came to attack in two groups, the northern route was the remnants of the Church of the Sun, and the southern route was the combined army of the Fengshen Sect and other churches.
Although the two major churches acted jointly, there seemed to be great internal conflicts, so the final result was to split their forces into two groups and disperse the strength of the Magic Association.
But having said that, because of the existence of space spells, many military strategies on earth cannot be used here. Because even if you induce the opponent to divide his troops into several groups, due to the existence of teleportation spells, it will not be able to disperse the troops much.
In the final analysis, the art of war relies on information and time difference. In the magical world where various magical methods emerge in an endless stream, many of the art of war methods that Yin Lian originally knew can no longer be used. On the contrary, the applicable range of tactics is much wider.
This is a bit like the gameplay of online games, which happens to be the part where Yin Lian has experience. If it is a real art of war, although Yin Lian has various theoretical knowledge and is good at using it in various interpersonal interactions, she has never experienced a real war and does not know much about some elements of the war itself. It is also difficult to use flexibly.
In comparison, just tactical coordination is much simpler. Of course, there is a big difference between modern online games and real magic wars, but there are places where it can be applied in thinking training. Coupled with Yin Lian's reasonable use of the five elements, the elements of wind, fire, water, earth, and modern physics knowledge, she quickly successfully learned the use of many magic tactics, and she could flexibly change them.
In fact, in this aspect, some basic compound changes of elements have also been discovered by the mages themselves. For example, water in nature can conduct electricity. The reason why "nature" is emphasized is because the water element summoned by magic is not conductive. of.
The mages are still studying the reasons for this, but Yin Lian knew the reason as soon as he came into contact with this research - it was because the water element summoned by magic was "too pure."
Although Yin Lian is not a scientist, she has good academic performance and remembers all the knowledge she learned in school very well, so she quickly understood the reason.
Generally speaking, water conducts electricity. But the purest distilled water does not conduct electricity because of its weak electrolyte properties. The water element summoned by the mage is theoretically very exclusive and will exclude other elements. It should also be a fairly pure water element. Perhaps it is for this reason that magic water does not conduct electricity.
And if you want to make it conduct electricity, you must mix some dissolved matter into it to make it a conductor. Yin Lian's attainments in magic may not be higher than most mages, but her world's research on the physical properties of matter is much deeper and more thorough than this magical world. Currently, most mages still rely on empiricism to work, and their understanding of the general physical world is far less profound and comprehensive than Yin Lian's.
And these gaps are where Yin Lian can use his methods.
She does not have as powerful a magic power as the Black Sage, nor does she have as profound a knowledge of magic as him, so if she wants to achieve results that will make most mages respect her, she must make full use of all the advantages at her disposal.
Yin Lian picked up his staff and led a group of mages towards the north gate.
And there, a group of priests were trying to break through the barrier wall.
Yin Lian started laughing as soon as he led all the mages to the north gate. As soon as she stretched out her hand, a mage began to arrange a water wall directly among the clergy.
The sudden appearance of layers of water walls shocked the priests, and they hurriedly wanted to withdraw from the range of the water curtain. However, one after another, water walls quickly built up and directly formed a network of water lines. A ray of purple light quickly rushed along the water wall and water network, heading straight towards the priests.
It is a fact that most people know that the fusion of thunder spells and water spells is poor, but Yin Lian broke this rule and caught all the priests off guard and suffered a big loss.
And this is far from the end.
As the thunderstorm unfolded, even if the shield was deployed immediately, the current still exerted great pressure on the attacker. But what followed was that the mages directly released their control over the water wall, causing it to evaporate directly into water vapor.
Anyone who has studied middle school physics knows that the heat of water vapor is higher than that of boiling water, but the heat dissipates very quickly. However, Yin Lian did not let the heat dissipate directly. Instead, he erected a wall of fire and built an earth wall outside the fire wall, directly trapping everyone in the fire and high temperature.
However, this method can only be effective for a period of time. As the smoke boiled, the knights finally broke through the wall of fire and earth, and broke through the strange formation with injuries.
Then a group of priests activated the holy light one after another, expecting Yin Lian to attack directly.
However, Yin Lian was already prepared and directly asked someone to erect a huge shield with a strange shape - or a huge concave ice prism, and directly faced the holy light.
In an instant, the holy light was directly reflected back by the ice prism, and struck directly at the priests. However, resisting this powerful holy light seemed to overwhelm the mirror, which instantly shattered, melted and evaporated into hot water vapor.
A group of clergymen and knights struggled to avoid the reflected holy light, but some were still hit and screamed in agony. Even so, the priests had no intention of giving up. Instead, when they saw the ice mirror shattering, they felt that they had found an opportunity and quickly launched a second round of attacks.
But at the moment when the second round of holy light was emitted, the ice mirror shield underwent a change that stunned everyone - it condensed the mirror surface again.
…
Fire, water vapor, holy light, burnt smoke... appeared alternately at the North City Gate, making frightening changes from time to time. But many people have discovered that in this confrontation, the mages clearly have a great advantage, and most of it is due to a large number of magical magic props and strange compound spells.
Night slowly fell, and this was a very unfavorable thing for the Sun Cult believers. They use holy light as their main means of attack, but after sunset, many of their means will inevitably be greatly reduced.
But the leader of the reinforcements knew that they actually had one last chance.
During the battle, Yin Lian rose into the air and floated high above the city wall. The mages beside her all moved away from her to avoid robbing the magic elements around her.
But at this time, a female mage approached with an attendant.
When Yin Lian turned around and saw the other person's face, he frowned and said, "What are you doing here!?"
The female mage Leah sneered: "I came to fight. If it weren't for the sage's order, do you think I wanted to come." Then she said to her attendant, "Go and give her the things."
Yin Lian frowned and said warily: "What is it!?"
Leah said: "The sage asked me to bring you some spell scrolls."
Yin Lian was a little confused, but the attendant had already approached and actually took out a stack of scrolls from his arms. Yin Lian glanced at it and found that the scroll on the top was actually a scroll of forbidden arts. She immediately believed it and was about to reach out to take it.
Then she saw the appearance of the attendant. Yin Lian has an excellent memory, almost a photographic memory, so when she saw the other person's face, her expression immediately changed and she wanted to step back instantly.
The waiter suddenly reached out and grabbed her wrist at an extremely fast speed, almost burying his fingers into her flesh, and then showed an extremely crazy smile.
Yin Lian suddenly noticed that there was magic flowing in the patterns on the scroll.
Sardesi grabbed her wrist and said, "Rei, let's... die together!"
By the time the surrounding mages noticed something was wrong, it was already too late. The power of this forbidden spell was so powerful that it swallowed up almost half of the city wall, causing the entire defensive formation guarding the Holy City to shake, like an earthquake. Huge flames and smoke enveloped Beicheng, followed by a large number of casualties.
This forbidden curse was so shocking that it almost alarmed everyone in the Holy City. When the Black Sage saw the fire rising, his entire face changed color.
He appeared in Beicheng almost instantly, but only saw a ruined wall. He looked around, and then saw Leah who was about to run away among the crowd.
Because Lia had been prepared beforehand, she had already fled quickly the moment Yin Lian was caught by Sudsi, so she was not seriously affected, but she happened to run into the Black Sage head-on.
She didn't expect the other party to appear so quickly, and she was shocked. She was about to make up some excuse to get away, but she heard the Black Sage ask coldly: "Why are you here!?"
Leah was about to explain, but unexpectedly, the Black Sage didn't want to hear her answer at all.
The next moment, she was surrounded by a ball of blue fire. Before she could even let out a scream, she was burned up and turned into a wisp of black smoke and falling dust.
The Black Sage turned around and walked towards the others, and then asked the embarrassed mages: "Where is Lian?"
The mages couldn't answer, but the Black Sage had already looked around and shouted: "Pity?"
He didn't see Yin Lian, but he saw the priests who had been beaten back by Yin Lian's men and suffered serious casualties. He looked at these people with cold eyes and no emotion on his face.
Then I saw priests being suddenly surrounded by balls of blue flames. They only had time to let out a short scream before they were turned into ashes one by one.
