The sun is high

Krauts, a river valley-level military mage affiliated with the Fifth Chasseur Regiment, was standing quietly beside Zeke Ernst.

In the entire Kingdom of Votel and even the entire Lovi Plateau, the old man next to him who was weak but had just killed his own son was the object of Krautz's greatest admiration.

In the past, Krauts was almost liquidated and sanctioned by Merlinle and the Legal Committee because he was overly obsessed with the magic of the Necromancy School and conducted prohibited magic experiments without authorization. It was the army of the Kingdom of Votel that gave him a place to stay. After that, Krauts, who was deeply exposed to Votel's military theories and ideas, preferred to think of himself as a soldier.

Rather than the rules and regulations that mages need to abide by, he pays more attention to the rules and regulations in the army.

Although Krautz, like all Votel soldiers, has already sworn allegiance to the kingdom, this move will not weaken his respect and admiration for the "Three-clawed Falcon".

And after Krautz led the soldiers of the 5th Chasseur Regiment into the venue on Princess Sophia's order and successfully arrived at the lounge, he became even more in awe of this frail old man who was in urgent need of bodyguards and protection.

Among the nobles of Walter, there are not a few people who dare to attack their brothers, sisters, or even their parents and children. However, generally speaking, such cruel behavior is often accompanied by competition for small interests and status.

At least from the kingdom's perspective, that's the case.

This is the shortcoming of the nobles - these huge families can always cultivate the elite talents needed by the Kingdom of Walter, but some of the ideas and habits rooted in their blood will create many trouble.

For the Kingdom of Walter, this power struggle is actually not important. It is just a kind of futile internal friction. Especially under today's tense situation, the kingdom would rather see these nobles die on the battlefield than let them die. They mysteriously disappeared into the family feud.

However, Krautz could not see these traces on Zeke Ernst.

When Old Zeke slowly put away the revolver, Krautz saw only indomitable determination on the old man's face.

Krauts knew that Yerevan's death was not due to a mere change of family power and struggle, but because of some more important and "greater" interest.

Under the forced order of the old man, Krauts applied the necromancy magic "Corpse Puppet" that he had not used for a long time on Yerevan's body.

Afterwards, the young secretary who had already written a suicide note, received memory transformation magic, and received dual commitments from Zeke Ernst and the 5th Jäger Regiment took the damaged cane and moved towards it firmly. Death marches on.

That was an invitation letter handed to the Black Sun Society.

And now, the corpse of Yerevan, who "personally" opened the door and appeared openly in the faces of the rebels, became Zeke Ernst's declaration of war to the Black Sun Society.

Before the two maids who were the association's monitors could react, Yerevan's corpse had already rushed towards the crowd under the control of Krauts's necromancy magic, and then, buried inside it, was buried by Merlin. The "Corpse Destruction Technique", which is considered a prohibited magic by the Law Council, takes effect immediately.

With a sickening sound of flesh shattering, Yerevan's body exploded.

Under the influence of this cruel magic, a corpse provides an explosion comparable to that of a true alchemical bomb.

The fragments of clothing, flesh, and bones swept across the entire corridor in an instant under the power of magic.

The preparations of the association monitors and these armed guards are naturally comprehensive. They carry not only various weapons, but also simple secret rituals for self-protection. Among the debris that swept over, everyone's The protective ritual was forced to start, and many translucent magic barriers were erected on their own, blocking all the deadly flesh, flesh and debris.

At this moment, even if the betrayers who came here don't know what happened, they all know that they have fallen into an extremely dangerous situation.

The reaction of the two association monitors was extremely fast. Before Krautz's next magic was formed, they had already launched a charge towards the lounge where Zeke Ernst was. Two specially-made crystal guns were fired first. There was an astonishing vibration.

This kind of firearm is basically similar to the weapon that successfully penetrated the royal secrets and shot Prince Hawid and Princess Hawid in the Massacre in Salem City. It is even better. Under its shooting, most of the existing protective secrets are destroyed. will not take effect.

However, these bullets, which contained a dangerous sheen, were forcibly stopped a few meters away from Old Zeke and Krauts. They had no way of penetrating the new secret weapon brought by the Fifth Chasseur Regiment. Therefore, these expensive crystals The bullet could only spin feebly in the air, and eventually lost all kinetic energy and turned into a ball of magic debris.

Not only that, the demon-strangling silver swords thrust by the two association monitors were also blocked. The insurmountable magic barrier created an astonishing impact the moment they were hit by the swords, knocking out the two sprinters. The figure quickly retreated to the corner of the room.

At the same time, the soldiers in the corridor who were once loyal to the Ernst family but now became Yerevan's soldiers received another kind of "treatment."

These traitors from the Ernst family and the Walter Kingdom had just recovered from the impact and blood mist interference caused by the "Corpse Destruction Technique" when they saw at the end of this corridor, a magic weapon set up by a river valley level mage. The camouflage magic was stripped away instantly by a barrage of bullets.

Behind the temporary metal fortifications, the soldiers of the 5th Chasseur Regiment were standing ready. As they continued to pull the triggers, the new revolver rifles created a dense rain of bullets in an instant. Those at the front were The protective mysteries equipped by the rebels were shattered on the spot, and then the metal bullets ruthlessly tore their bodies apart and crashed into targets further back with blood.

These former guards were also elites who had retired from military camps and battlefields. Their equipment was equally excellent, so several soldiers immediately took off the expensive magic silver that was carried on their backs and had been attached with multiple reinforcement rituals in advance. shields, and worked hard to put them together, forming a temporary physical barrier in an instant.

These covered soldiers immediately began to fight back. Although the weapons they were equipped with were not the latest firearms, they were also new crystal blunderbuss of excellent quality and amazing power. Each bullet could produce a weapon that far exceeded that of metal ammunition. Huge explosions and impacts.

However, the soldiers of the Chasseur Regiment behind the temporary fortifications were not panicked.

Facing the enemy's counterattack, the shooters at the front quickly evacuated towards the rooms at the ends of both sides. A heavy metal machine that had been prepared was pushed forward, and under the protection of the metal fortifications and the ceremony ground, the two A young operator quickly got into position.

After a brief silence, a continuous and dull blasting sound echoed in the city of Bolden. This sound was as stable and powerful as a hammer hitting an iron nail, just like the heavy steps of the times, stepping hard. in everyone's heart.

That was a sound that could be engraved into the entire history of Van En.

The soldier in charge of operating the weapon is just twenty years old. His shooting performance in the Chasseur Regiment is not very good, but he is better than his sharp mind and can always learn all new equipment and weapons quickly. And now, he is doing it for himself. Be fascinated by this steel monster in your hand.

The heavy main body is made of jet black metal. The gun body must be controlled by two hands at the same time. It is engraved with a large number of magic patterns and has a sleeve embedded with a series of magic crystals...

Every time it roars and trembles, the metal bullet casing will be thrown out. The bullet belt made of earth dragon skin sends cheap standard bullets one after another into the opening slot under the continuous pull of the trigger, and in the The barrel of the gun in the sleeve tilted out under the influence of that terrifying structure that was a combination of precision machinery and complex magic.

The continuous violent shooting caused the metal barrel to overheat due to friction, but the magic ritual in the metal sleeve quickly took effect, calming down the already restless liquid in the water tank, and expelling a large amount of steam from the opening on the right side of the gun.

The Demonic Silver Shield fortifications that were originally strong enough to withstand the explosion of crystal bullets quickly collapsed in this unprecedented impact. When the physical protection at the front collapsed, the people hiding behind immediately became the most miserable targets.

The young shooter's eyes began to turn red, not because he was immersed in killing, but because the blood mist created by the series of bullets had covered the limited world in front of him...

In the lounge nearby, Zeke Ernst was leaning safely on his wheelchair. He half-squinted his eyes. The continuous sound of gunfire and the howling of the injured and undead seemed to be the most bizarre sound in the world. Beautiful music, in contrast, the two association monitors who were suppressed by the secret ritual and Krautz's magic looked like funny clowns dancing clumsily in the music.

"Marshal, as you can see, the Royal Magic Workshop and the Alchemy Association immediately started the research and development of the new secret ritual after receiving your prompts. Although the current effectiveness is not complete, it is still better than the old style in the past. Quite a few.”

"Were the secret rituals of the past bad?"

Zeke chuckled: "I don't think so. In terms of confrontation with magic and magic, today's secret ritual may not be comparable to the royal secret ritual in the past. However, this is the development of the world. New bows and arrows will definitely create new ones." Shields and armor...this is our foundation."

"You're right."

Krautz nodded in agreement. At this time, the magical beast summoned by him, which was made of bones and clay, was split up and defeated by two monitors of the Black Sun Society. Seeing this, Krautz was a little confused. He touched his nose in shame and was about to continue using magic, but Zeke raised his hand to stop him.

"I know that His Highness will not just let you come here... You don't have to finish everything. You can leave these difficult problems to more professional people, which will save you a lot of trouble."

Before he finished speaking, violent magic fluctuations appeared on the wall on the other side of the lounge. Then, on the wall that was not completely covered by the secret ritual, only a handful of spellcasters authorized by the Legal Committee could learn it. The "secret portal" magic quickly took shape, and in the magic door connecting to another space, a tall and thin figure slowly walked out.

"Mr. Zeke's determination and wisdom open my eyes every time."

The housekeeper of the Walter royal family who always followed Princess Sophia ignored the two enemies nearby, but saluted Zeke in a very standard way: "Your Highness has many, many things to learn from you. "

"Finn, you don't have to be humble for Your Highness, she is already outstanding."

The mountain elf smiled gently, and then he looked to his side.

He knew both of those two maids. In the past few years, they had been closely "taking care" of old Zeke. Only when they visited the royal family or attended such important meeting places, would they temporarily violate the regulations. leave……

"Your courage is really..."

Finn shook his head: "You should have told His Highness earlier. If you put yourself in a dangerous situation, it will be very difficult for the whole kingdom."

As he spoke, the terrifying magic power far beyond the ordinary lake level and river valley level mages began to stir in the building, and the Ymir Legion soldiers who had closely counted and monitored all the noble members participating in the meeting began to enter and take over in an orderly manner. This whole building.

In the room, Krautz pushed Old Zeke's wheelchair to the corner. Under the gaze of the portrait of General Ludwig behind him, he began to quietly enjoy the magic performance presented by the royal butler and chief mage.

Of course, this magical show is actually anything but flashy.

Finn has a strong military temperament in the use of magic. Under the mobilization of his magic power, a large number of debris in the room were forcibly aggregated into two terrifying palms with amazing power. They easily defeated two The magic released by the maid forced them into a blind corner, and then, two "brain spikes" made of high-concentration magic were released.

With the support of high-intensity magic, these two stream-level magics directly broke through the magic resistance of the two maids caused by taking a large amount of magic potions. Under the severe mental shock that could cause death to ordinary people, they Forced into a brief state of confusion.

The next moment, the cruel and effective "Limb Destruction Technique" came, turning their limbs into hard-to-heal powder on the spot, and then, "Will Stripping", "Magic Restraint" and other suppression and restraint spells were used. It was exerted, completely trapping them in the magic cage.

After finishing the work at hand, Finn turned around and explained apologetically: "Your Highness is really anxious, so I'm sorry, I used a little more force."

"It doesn't matter."

Zeke Ernst sighed: "But I can't see His Highness now. Please send me back to the manor. I still have a lot of things to deal with there... If Your Highness is in a hurry, you can come to the manor to find me directly, like Normally that’s fine.”
