Phoenix Grand Lord

With a loud bang, the magic shield exploded completely!

The shock wave generated by the explosion of the magic shield sent Parks and other magicians flying!

Parks fell to the ground in a mess, his face covered in dust, and the bright wooden staff in his hand also slipped out of his hand. Plank in the middle of the army and Rowe on the stone tower frowned at the same time!

Fortunately, Parks climbed up with his hands and feet and picked up the bright wooden staff in time.

After all, it was the heirloom of their Wood family, so Parks was very concerned about it.

Although the bright wooden staff was intact, the magic shield was almost instantly destroyed by the magic artillery this time. Parks and the four magicians who jointly supported the magic shield were affected by the backlash of the shock wave, and their blood and qi surged. They could not use magic spells for a long time.

Affected by the shock wave of the explosion of the magic shield, Edmund's army fell to the ground in large numbers like harvested leeks.

Looking down from the stone tower, the scene was very pleasant.

Of course, the lethality of the tiger squat cannon's marbles was also offset by the explosion of the magic shield, so the Edmund army that was knocked down quickly climbed up and did not cause substantial casualties.

It's just that the seeds of panic in the heart have begun to hatch rapidly.

The morale of Edmund's army comes from three aspects.

The first aspect of the morale is relying on their large numbers.

The Marigolds, which claim to have 8,000 people, all concentrated their military forces to attack a small manor with only 400 people. Logically speaking, isn't this a pure crush?

The second aspect of the morale is that they have powerful weapons, such as armor, shields, bows and arrows, spears, and siege catapults.

Don't underestimate catapults. In local wars, catapults have a devastating effect on manor-level cities.

The third aspect of the morale is that they have powerful foreign aid-mercenary knights and magicians.

This is equivalent to the two thighs of Edmund's army.

Of course, the thigh of the Mercenary Knights has been disabled. Now it is just the Wounded Knights. The key is that they cannot be fired. They have to be brought to the battle to fill the scene, and they have to be paid and given pensions.

The only ones who can really help Edmund's army in terms of combat effectiveness are Plank and his magician students.

In the battle of Stone Forest Highland Manor, although it was an empty city, Parks opened the eyes of Edmund's army with the bright wood staff, and boosted the morale and confidence of Edmund's army.

But now, Parks and the bright wood staff are useless!

The magic shield formed by the joint efforts of five magicians was easily broken!

The catapults of their own were of no use at all, but Rowe had a tiger squat cannon that could break the magic shields of five magicians!

The confidence of Edmund's army in three aspects also collapsed!

The effect of this shot plunged the entire Edmund army into panic and chaos.

Edmund and his manor lords were all terrified. "This, is this a magic cannon?"

"Where did this kid Rowe get the magic cannon from?"

"I remember that Andre was ambushed by the Viscount Miranden of the Broken Star Valley with a magic cannon. Could it be that this magic cannon was given by Miranden?"

Edmund gnashed his teeth in anger, "Well, it's Miranden again! He's still trying to destroy me!"

Before he finished cursing, there was another earth-shaking sound from the direction of the stone tower - the second cannon is coming!

Edmund's face changed drastically: "Magic shield! Quick! Magic shield!"

The other four magicians under Plank who were not injured jumped out quickly and jointly condensed a new magic barrier.

As soon as the magic barrier was condensed, the barrage of fire magic and phoenix power attacked again like an overwhelming force.

Hundreds of magic ripples of all sizes instantly rippled on the magic barrier.

Boom!

The magic barrier couldn't withstand the power of the Tiger Crouching Cannon and exploded instantly!

The Tiger Crouching Cannon's marbles still didn't cause substantial damage to Edmund's army, but the shock wave of the magic barrier's explosion once again sent the magicians flying, and Edmund's army once again fell to the ground like leeks.

The only catapult that could still be used was also destroyed by the magic shock wave!

The siege advantage of Edmund's army was completely lost!

These two consecutive cannons seemed to be evenly matched, but in fact Edmund's side had already lost a lot!

And the war had just begun!

If Rowe fired a third cannon, the magicians would be useless and could only let the magician Plank go out in person.

Sure enough, before Edmund's army could get up and regain their footing, Rowe's third Tiger Crouching Cannon arrived as expected!

Without the magic shield, the Tiger Crouching Cannon would inevitably cause huge casualties!

What's more terrifying is that the chain reaction caused by the casualties is likely to cause Edmund's 5,000-man army to flee on the spot!

Edmund didn't care how many of his men would die, but the key was that if he lost the war, his dignity would be gone, and everything he had worked so hard for would also be gone.

Edmund hurriedly shouted to Plank: "Lord Plank! Help us! Quick! Help us!"

At this moment, Plank's head was about to explode.

As a magician, he shouldn't have taken action so early in this war between small manor lords. It would be disgraceful to take action too early. However, who would have thought that Edmund's army was so weak? Who would have thought that Rowe could actually take out magic cannons?

This magic cannon is really weird!

Plank has also seen the power of the royal magic cannon. The magic cannons of Merlin Valley are naturally not comparable to the royal magic cannons, but the Merlin Valley cannons seem to take a different wild path, but this wild path is really strong!

If Rowe keeps bombarding with magic cannons, Edmund's army will definitely be finished. The 5,000-man army will be beaten and flee at the beginning of the war. At that time, even if Plank wants to help, it will be meaningless.

Therefore, Rowe's magic cannons must be blocked and Edmund's army must be saved.

Thinking of this, Plank no longer cared about so much, and immediately gathered his magic thoughts and raised his hand to wave-

After a while, with Plank as the center, a huge purple arcane magic light shield quickly spread on the ground within a radius of hundreds of kilometer.

Most of Edmund's army was shrouded in the arcane light shield.

Bang bang bang bang!

The powerful barrage of magic artillery bombarded the magic light shield, but it didn't even cause a ripple!

Edmund's army was shocked and cheered wildly as if they had survived a disaster!

The magician took action!

Edmund breathed a sigh of relief.

Other manor lords also complimented excitedly:

"Oh! You are worthy of being the Lord Mage!"

"When the Lord Mage takes action, all magic cannons are toys!"

"With the Lord Mage here, we can win this battle without even lying down!"

The students of the magic academy also flattered him:

"The teacher is a teacher after all!"

"The teacher is so strong!"

"Annie is so stupid that she chose to go against such a strong teacher!"

"This kind of array-level magic is enough for Annie to learn for a lifetime!"

The lords and magicians were all laughing, but Plank himself could not laugh.

A dignified 7th-level mage should have played in the crucial finale, but now he was forced by Rowe's three cannons to take action himself.

This is already a very undignified thing.

If this matter gets out, his colleagues in the Magic Council will only laugh!

At this time, on the stone tower, Annie couldn't help but take a breath, "Teacher's level 7 arcane light shield array is really well-deserved.

In the past, I had only heard of it, but I didn't expect to see it in this actual combat. This time it's not easy to fight."

Luo Wei smiled, "What's so difficult about this? If one shot doesn't work, we'll use two shots, if two shots don't work, we'll use three shots, if three shots don't work, we'll use ten shots!"

Annie shook her head and said, "Luo Wei, you don't understand, that's a level 7 arcane light shield, let alone firing ten shots back to back, even if ten shots are fired at the same time, it can't break the level 7 arcane array, Even if I go all out, I can't break it."

Rowei smiled and said, "No, I don't need to break his level 7 arcane shield. I just need to suppress him with artillery and make him unable to free his hands."

Annie was stunned, and then understood, "Rowei, you are really--"

Rowei laughed, "Smart, right?"

Annie rolled her eyes coquettishly, "Hate~"

Rowei waved his hand and said, "Keep firing!"

"Oh, I like firing!" Chariz, who was standing by, excitedly brought a new tiger squat cannon to replace the first tiger squat cannon whose barrel was overheated.

Boom!

The fourth cannon barrage hit Plank's level 7 arcane shield!

This cannon still did not produce any magic ripples, and it was obvious that it was impossible to break the arcane shield.

Edmund's army, which was covered by the arcane shield, suddenly became complacent, and the morale of the army was restored!

There were even many soldiers who applauded and booed at the barrage of bullets, as if they were watching Rowe doing something stupid that would never be accomplished.

Almost everyone in Edmund's army was laughing, except for Mage Plank, whose face became increasingly gloomy.

The steel ball barrage of magic artillery could not destroy his level 7 arcane shield, but maintaining the arcane shield would consume magic energy!

Although Plank had a lot of magic energy, it would not be a problem to maintain it for an hour or so, but he was also pinned down here!

As a mage with a very high status, he worked like a cow and a horse as soon as the war started. When would this war be over?

Plank clearly wanted to rely on Edmund's army to attack the city and his magic students to work hard, so that he could sit back and enjoy the fruits of their labor, but now, he has become a cow and a horse?

Plank was angry and his face was gloomy: "Lord Edmund! It's time for you to attack Merlin Valley, right? Do you want to hide under my light shield?"

"Lord Plank, you are right!"

Edmund then drew his sword and said loudly: "You have all seen Lord Plank's strength, right? With Lord Plank here, we will win this battle! It's time to show the military strength of our Marigolds! The serfs in the front row, move forward, and the archers follow up,

Destroy the stone tower where Rowe is first!"

"Yes!"

Edmund's army followed the order and reluctantly left the arcane light shield and began to advance.

Without the catapult, if you want to destroy the stone tower, you can only rely on archers.

However, the effective shooting range of archers is far less than that of catapults, and they must first advance to the head of the stone arch bridge before they can reach the stone tower.

In order for the archers to reach the bridge head position, there must be serf soldiers holding shields in the front row to form a shield formation, relying on the shield formation to push the line in front of the stone arch bridge, and then let the archers of the lord soldiers come forward and shoot arrows at the stone tower.

Although Edmund did not have the ability to be a commander, Edmund still knew these basic military tactics.

Before this battle, Edmund summarized the failure cases of the Lord of Shouwang Farm Manor, the Lord of Sancha Road Manor, the Lord of Stone Forest Highland Manor and others in attacking Meilin Valley. Therefore, Edmund knew very well that Meilin Valley had natural dangers to rely on, and the narrow stone The arch bridge cannot be attacked rashly. The two stone towers on the other side of the stone arch bridge must be destroyed first.

Now that there is no chance of destroying the tower with catapults, we can only rely on the shield-holding serf soldiers to advance the front line and create an effective shooting range for the lord's archers.

From a tactical perspective, there is no problem with this arrangement.

Edmund's serf soldiers are also better equipped than ordinary serf soldiers. Although they do not have armor, they do have iron weapons and iron-clad shields - of course, these were upgraded with Edmund's money.

Luo Wei has powerful magic artillery. If the magic artillery is fired at the serf soldiers, these serf soldiers will of course become cannon fodder.

Therefore, when these serf soldiers in the front row stepped out of the arcane light shield, they were all frightened and their legs were weak.

However, Luo Wei did not point the muzzle at these serf soldiers, but continued to blast Plank's level 7 arcane mask.

To put it bluntly, these serf soldiers are not worthy of being bombarded with magic fire cannons.

As a result, the serf soldiers emboldened themselves and quickly advanced towards the stone arch bridge.

And Edmund had already been mentally prepared. Edmund had no intention of letting the serf soldiers in the front row live. He just wanted them to die as human shields.

As long as these serf soldiers can help the archers advance to the bridge head and destroy the two stone towers, then even if all these serf soldiers die, it will be something worth celebrating.

There is no better consumable than serfs.

Consuming these serf soldiers can be regarded as reducing a large part of the burden for Edmund.

The essence of war is to fight for attrition.

Let’s see who consumes more energy and wins.

The war in Regan's world is like this. Let the serf soldiers rush forward first. When the serf soldiers are almost exhausted, then the enemy troops will be almost exhausted. Then the lord soldiers will rush forward. When the lord soldiers are almost exhausted, the lord soldiers will be almost exhausted. , the opponent will soon die, and finally the lords will go in to pick the fruits of victory.
