Phoenix Grand Lord

The Bell Ringing Army is very skilled in cleaning the battlefield.

The dead bodies were all tied to the city walls and arrow towers by the bell-ringing troops.

Under the cover of night, it was impossible to tell that these were dead bodies. They really looked like soldiers preparing for battle.

After everything was done, Luo Wei did not delay and immediately led the bell-ringing army to retreat from the path in the back mountain.

It only took the Bell Ringing Army 15 minutes from cleaning up the battlefield to evacuating Stone Forest Heights Manor.

Nothing but familiarity.

At the same time, the older magician fled back to the approaching army with Andre Wolffox, who was still seriously injured and unconscious.

"Lord Edmund! Mentor Plank!"

"W-what's going on?!"

Edmund and Plank, who had been chatting and laughing just now, were all shocked when they saw the old magician covered in blood.

The elder magician hugged Andre and cried bitterly, "We, we encountered an ambush by Luo Wei at the Stone Forest Highland Manor! We were caught off guard and the whole army was wiped out! Sir Andre fought desperately, and he finally, Finally, finally—"

Edmund covered his heart and screamed, falling off his horse!

Everyone rushed to help him, and the barber was even prepared to give him an enema on the spot.

"My son! My biological son!" Edmund Haotao cried!

Edmund was really sad this time. When his other sons died, Edmund didn't feel much distress, but when his eldest son passed away, it was really unbearable for him.

If there is no heir, it means that the family fortune he has worked so hard to earn will be wiped out.

The older magician took a deep breath and continued, "Lord Andre, he was seriously injured in the end!"

"soft?"

"Still breath?"

Magister Plank, who was dressed in blue robes, immediately touched Andre's carotid artery, and then said to the tearful Edmund: "Baron, Sir Andre is still alive, but he is about to die."

Edmund:——

He is truly worthy of being a master and apprentice who came out of a magic academy, and he speaks in such a unique tone!

Just as Edmund was about to open his mouth, he saw Plank take out a bottle of secret recovery potion from his silver magic hanging bag.

A student nearby used a short wand to pry open Andre's mouth. Plank then poured the secret recovery potion into Andre's mouth.

After drinking it, Andre's face immediately returned to some rosy color, and then he woke up faintly and his eyelids opened slightly.

"My son!" Edmund hugged Andre excitedly.

Andre said weakly: "Father, that guy Luo Wei ambushed me, he - he's not honorable!"

Edmund gritted his teeth and said, "Stop talking about my son, just take a good rest and I will definitely avenge you!"

Andre nodded with aggrieved expression.

"Come here, take Andre to rest! Where is my barber? You can take care of him!"

"Yes! Lord Baron!" The barber didn't expect that he would come to work so early, and it was a big job.

After Andre was carried off, Edmund bowed slightly towards Plank, "Master Plank, thank you for your help just now.

Otherwise, my son Andrei will be dead. "

Plank, who has a plain and cold face, is thin and tall, with gray hair combed back. He is wearing a blue magic robe that exudes a magical halo. The cuffs of the robe are wide and large, and are embroidered with the logo of the Magic Council. , and also wears a huge blue gem pendant on his chest.

"Baron, there is no need to be so polite between you and me. You also know that the secret potion I recently developed uses a lot of extremely rare magic materials. It is naturally very effective. So, Andre It'll be okay."

How could Edmund not understand what Plank meant?

Edmund immediately smiled and said: "Sir Plank, I want as much of this kind of resurrecting medicine as you have, and I will pay it to you after the war is over."

Plank said with a decent face: "I'm not asking you for money."

Edmund said with a smile on his face, "Of course, of course, but if you help me, I will have to pay for these materials."

Only then did Plank nodded, accepting Edmund's suggestion of "waiting until the war is over to pay them together."

Edmund turned his attention to the old magician who was covered in blood.

Although the elderly magician was breathing heavily when he spoke just now, which almost made Edmund's mentality collapse, at least it was this guy who saved his only heir.

What's more, this magician is from Plank.

Edmund said politely: "Thank you, Master Magician, for saving my son's life. I see that Master Magician, you are covered in blood and you must be injured, right?"

The older magician looked down at his cotton robe, and then said: "No, this is actually your son's blood. I'm fine."

Edmund really wanted to draw his sword and kill this magician who had the grace to save his son.

Magister Plank asked coldly and arrogantly: "How can you risk your life to rescue Andre? By the way, where is the junior fellow who went with you?

"Junior, he——" the older magician said with a painful expression: "Junior, he fought bravely, but in the end, he finally, finally...!

Edmund said, "Alive, right?"

The older magician shook his head, "No, he was blinded by Luo Wei in a very vicious and dishonorable way. As a result, he was unable to use Pyroblast to kill Luo Wei, and was eventually killed by Luo Wei's level 2 assassin. After being immobilized, Luo Wei's level 4 female knight chopped off his head."

Edmund suddenly took a deep breath.

Before the war officially started, a level 3 magician died first. This...

A level 3 magician has a very high status. The death of a level 3 magician cannot be described as death, but can only be described as death.

This can have a huge negative impact on morale.

More importantly, the magicians are all students brought by Plank. How much money does Plank have to pay?

This debt must be placed on the head of Rowena!

When Edmund was in such an anxious and worried mood, Plank looked calm, with no emotion on his poker-like face, as if the person who died was just an insignificant person.

"Well, I understand. You've worked hard. I'll give you two bottles of secret magic potion. You can go and rest."

The older magician immediately took the secret magic potion from Plank's hand with excitement on his face, and then bowed to Plank repeatedly, "Thank you! Thank you, mentor! I am willing to go through fire and water for my mentor!"

Edmund couldn't help but asked Plank: "Sir Plank, that boy Rowena dared to kill your student, aren't you going to do something?"

"Haha," Plank's eyes flashed, "Luo Wei, you don't know the heights of the world, I was worried that he wouldn't dare to kill my students, but now that he has done it, then I can do it, even if It’s the Magic Council and it can’t control me.”

As soon as these words came out, Edmund understood immediately.

Although Plank is the tutor of the Magic Academy, he is also controlled and managed by the Magic Council. Without the permission of the Magic Council, a blue-robed magician like him cannot participate in local wars at will.

Plank has been applying to the Magic Council, but the Magic Council has never agreed.

In the end, Plank came up with a way, which was to bring his students to the Marigold Territory in the name of the "Magic Graduation Examination."

It's hard to get into the magic academy, and even harder to graduate.

If you can't graduate, you will have to pay high tuition fees to continue studying in the magic academy.

Therefore, magic students take the magic graduation exam very seriously.

Dealing with the Magic Council and choosing magic students was the reason why Plank was delayed for more than a week before arriving.

As the blue-robed mage of the Magic Council, Plank himself will not participate in this war and will only let his students fight.

The Magic Council did not stipulate that students from the Magic Empire could not intervene in local wars.

And as long as his students are injured or killed in battle, then he, as a mentor, will naturally have an excuse to avenge his students.

Even if the Magic Council wanted to take care of it, it was too late, and there was no way to punish Plank afterwards.

"Hahaha! This kid Luo Wei is really looking for death!"

Edmund looked like he was the same enemy, "Our army of 8,000 people is not far from here, and he, a loser who has not even awakened yet, dares to jump on top of us and cause trouble!

"Herald, give me the order for the entire army to advance at full speed and attack Stone Forest Highland Manor tonight and surround and kill Luo Wei!"

"Yes! Master!"

Immediately, Edmund's army advanced toward the Stone Forest Highlands Manor in a menacing manner.

The army was originally about fifteen or six minutes away from Stone Forest Heights. After passing the order to speed up, it only took fourteen or five minutes to arrive at Stone Forest Heights Manor.

At this time, the entire Stone Forest Highland Manor was quiet, with no light under the black night.

However, one can vaguely see many figures on the city head and arrow tower.

Edmund sneered cautiously, "It seems that Luo Wei has brought quite a few people with him this time. I'm afraid there must be three to five hundred people!"

The Lord of Baiqiangwei Manor next to him came up and said: "Not only that, this is the number of people that can only be seen. I feel that the boy Rowena can bring thousands of people! Otherwise, Andre and so many awakened knights How can the magicians be wiped out?"

Edmund nodded, "Send the order! The army surrounds the Stone Forest Highland Manor in a half-moon shape. Don't rush to attack first, but use siege catapults to bombard them first!"

"Yes! Master!"

As a result, the army spread out in a chaotic manner, and it took a lot of time to finally surround Stone Forest Heights Manor in a half-moon shape.

The soldiers and horses under each manor lord are not coordinated with each other, and the scheduling is messy. It is completely a grass-roots team.

Edmund himself looked a little dizzy.

However, his advantage was his large number of troops. Edmund felt that no commander could manage such a large number of troops. Although the scene was chaotic, it should be like this.

It took half an hour for the army's half-moon siege to be finally completed. Four siege catapults 5 kilometers high and 10 kilometers long with catapult arms were also pushed forward by the combined efforts of hundreds of serf soldiers. Down, it was quite difficult to stop on the slope.

There was only one catapult left in Marigold Territory.

In order to attack Merrill Valley this time, Edmund did not hesitate to spend a lot of money and borrowed three machines from the surrounding lords.

The daily rent for each catapult is 2 gold coins.

And this rent is calculated from the moment the lease agreement is signed, including the time spent on the road.

This price is really ridiculously high, but Edmund accepted it no matter how high it was in order to show off.

Now, these rented catapults, won't they come in handy?

Edmund ordered the lord's soldiers to put the big stones in the catapult's throwing arm, and then poured kerosene on the stones to prepare the stone forest highland manor with a strong wall.

Edmund urged his horse to the front of the battle, pretending to be decent and shouted loudly: "Lo Wei! You are surrounded! Come out and surrender now, I can guarantee you a decent death, otherwise, when my catapult starts, you will cry loudly!"

There was no sound in the Stone Forest Highland Manor.

Edmund said angrily: "Huh, you dare to look down on me? I am a baron after all! But who are you! Your title was taken away by your stepmother, and you haven't even awakened yet, and you still dare to look down on me without saying a word?

"Okay, even if you despise me, the one next to me is a mentor of the Imperial Magic Academy! The blue-robed wizard of the Magic Council! Lord Plank!

"If you still have a little bit of dignity in your heart, you should roll out immediately and greet Lord Plank respectfully!"

Plank next to him looked arrogant and waited for Rowe's greetings,

But the Stone Forest Highlands Manor still didn't say a word.

Edmund was furious, "Okay, okay! Rowe, since you are so disrespectful, don't blame me! Catapult! Aim at the city wall and arrow tower! Ignite! Blast hard for me!"

"Yes! Master!"

The lord soldiers next to the catapult immediately ignited the kerosene on the stone, then cut off the elastic tendon, and the burning stone was thrown into the air.

Boom! Boom boom boom!

The stone wall of the Stone Forest Highlands was immediately smashed into two large flame pits,

but this was obviously not enough.

The terrain of Stone Forest Highland Manor is an uphill slope that is easy to defend but difficult to attack. In addition, Eppard has been operating here for many years, and its stone walls cannot be destroyed by one or two hurled stones.

If these stones are replaced with iron balls, the effect will definitely be immediate.

But where does Edmund have so many iron resources?

So Edmund's catapults kept throwing burning stones.

Although the walls of Stone Forest Highland Manor were damaged in many places, the overall structure was still intact.

As the commander, Edmund obviously had a large number of troops, but he lacked the courage to attack.

If he had sent a brave army to rush in at this time and see the situation inside, he wouldn't have had to work so hard.

Seeing that the catapults could not attack for a long time, the magician Plank turned to a male magician student who looked about 30 years old and said, "Parks Wood, go help them and show everyone the results of your recent study of fire magic."

"Yes, teacher."

The magic student called Parks bowed to Plank first, and then used a teleportation magic with a cool fire glow to flash in front of the formation. In his hand, there was also a staff with bright orange light.

The appearance of this staff looks very simple, and it is engraved with magic inscriptions in the dragon language.

The top of the staff is a hollow diamond with a black shadow flame suspended in the middle.

The black shadow flame in the center of the diamond-shaped staff seems to have life, breathing in and out, sometimes bright and sometimes dark.

The whole staff is particularly dazzling.

This is the 8th-level staff of Parks Wood's family, the bright wood staff.
