Tome of Blood

The change of the magic shield over Beigang is quite conspicuous on the entire battlefield.

On the side of the Boulder-Violet coalition, the third prince Philip also saw it.

He frowned, and looked at Earl Lint beside him:

"What's going on here? Is there still a transcendent of Chiyang rank hidden in Beigang?"

Earl Lint also looked surprised.

He thought for a while, then shook his head slightly:

"No, according to our informant in Beigang, the only spellcaster in Beigang who can maintain the magic shield should be the head of the Mercenary Association branch hired by Castel, and the other party is only Yinyue. "

After hearing Earl Lint's words, the third prince Philip frowned even deeper.

He squinted his eyes and looked at the gradually stable magic defense system above Beigang, and said:

"Go check it out and see what's going on."

...

Charlotte felt that she had entered a very strange state.

Through the defense system of Beigang, she found that her consciousness seemed to be integrated with the whole Beigang, and the speckled stars in the magic network represented the creatures in Beigang city.

She can hear the voice of everyone in Beigang City through the entire magic defense network, and can also communicate with every soldier stationed in Beigang City through the magic network.

She could hear the nobles talking about her behind their backs, and she could even hear some nobles who were dissatisfied with the status quo gathered together to secretly plan to surrender after the city was broken, and even those who took the initiative to secretly contact the enemy forces outside the city and provide information The "traitor" of...

That's what war is.

You can never guarantee that everyone will be loyal from beginning to end.

In this era, whoever wins and who they help is the silent majority.

And all kinds of discussions in the dark soon turned into consternation after noticing the change of Beigang's magic shield.

As for the source of everything, Charlotte, who controlled the entire North Port defense system, did not listen to the various voices in North Port City any more.

After getting used to the manipulation of the magic defense network, she took the initiative to touch the little starlight with her consciousness and said:

"I am Charlotte, Earl of Castle."

"I will be with you and protect Beigang together."

This time, Charlotte did not pull out the banner of the Holy King.

The ethereal and pleasant voice resounded in everyone's hearts, carrying a kind of calming power.

Looking at the gradually stabilizing magic shield above the city, those keen transcendents quickly realized what:

"It's the Earl, the Earl has stabilized the magic shield!"

Some transcendents who knew the difficulty of maintaining the entire Beigang magic shield showed surprise.

However, more ordinary transcendents are just excited and delighted.

Especially in Beigang's army, the low-ranking nobles who commanded the battle had their eyes brightened, and they quickly encouraged the soldiers whose morale was getting lower due to the deteriorating situation:

"Did you hear that? The Earl personally stabilized the magic shield!"

"Steady! Victory belongs to us!"

With the re-stabilized magic shield and Charlotte's encouragement, the morale of Castel's side, which had begun to drop rapidly, quickly stabilized again.

With the protection of the magic shield, Castel's defenders on the Beigang Bridge gradually regained some disadvantages.

Although it is still not the constant opponent of the Boulder-Violet elite that is constantly approaching, at least... it is not in a one-sided state.

Viscount Leon-Castel, who has been concerned about the battle situation, also noticed the changes on the battlefield. Standing on the high platform base of the mage tower, he could have a panoramic view of the Beigang Bridge.

Seeing the elite troops of the principality being attacked by the hysteresis, he lifted his spirits and said excitedly:

"It can be done! It can still be done!"

"Relying on the terrain of the Beigang Bridge, relying on the defense of the magic shield, and desperately defending it, it can still work!"

However, just as the old Viscount was thinking about whether to send more soldiers to support the battle on the Beigang Bridge, Charlotte's voice suddenly rang in his ears:

"Castel's vassals listened to the order and abandoned the Beigang Bridge. All the troops withdrew in an orderly manner and stuck to Beigang and Castel Bridge."

Hearing Charlotte's words, the old Viscount was taken aback for a moment, and was suddenly taken aback.

...

"What? You said that the person maintaining the magic shield in North Harbor is Charlotte of Castel?!"

In the Boulder-Violet coalition army, listening to the soldiers' report, the third prince Philip looked wonderful.

He looked at the magic defense shield covering the entire North Port, and shook his head quickly:

"This is impossible!"

"The magic defense network of Beigang was established by the first Earl of Castel. It has been strengthened by the Castel family through generations. Only Chi Yang can fully exert its effect..."

"She is just a child who has not entered the stage for a long time. How can she maintain the magic shield of the entire Beigang?"

"His Highness... Your Highness, it is said that she prayed to the gods and received the blessings of the gods..."

The soldier stammered.

"God's blessing?"

The third prince was stunned for a moment, then snorted coldly:

"absurd!"

"Let's not talk about whether Charlotte can attract the attention of the gods. How can the gods above care about the secular war? This is not a holy war against heretics!"

However, after hearing what the third prince said, the nobles accompanying him couldn't help but glanced at him, and then quickly lowered their heads.

Noticing their subtle expression changes, the third prince immediately came back to his senses and said angrily:

"What do you mean? Could it be that you really believed Castel's nonsense?!"

At this moment, Earl Lint, who had been paying attention to the situation on the battlefield, suddenly froze, and couldn't help but say:

"Your Highness, look at the bridge!"

The third prince suppressed his anger, cast his gaze in the direction of the battlefield, and then froze for a moment.

I saw that Castel's side actually began to retreat amidst the sound of horns.

Not only that, but even the Castel fleet in the Dorne River channel began to withdraw towards North Harbor.

The accompanying nobles of Bold and Violet were also stunned:

"Are they... abandoning the Beigang Bridge?"

"I'm afraid so. It seems...they plan to rely on Beigang's defensive magic to stick to it."

The third prince squinted his eyes for a while, then thoughtfully said:

"It seems that our little earl is not so easy to maintain magic defense..."

"It is impossible for Castel to have Chi Yang. If there was, this war would not be what it is now. Charlotte was able to maintain the magic shield, and I am afraid that he paid a corresponding price."

"Notice, the whole army will attack and surround Beigang!"

Earl Lint frowned slightly after hearing the third prince's order.

For some reason, seeing the Castel army retreating into Beigang in an orderly manner, he always felt a little uneasy.

However, the strength of Castel's side is far from that of the coalition forces, even with the protection of magic defense.

In Earl Lint's view, with an overwhelming advantage, it was only a matter of time before Beigang was captured.

So, he didn't say much in the end, but gave an order:

"Blow the horn and attack!"

The horn sounded, and Polder-Violet's army soon launched a new round of attack.

After occupying the Beigang Bridge, the vanguard with Chaofan standing as the main force crossed the river first and reached the north bank.

And when night fell and the day's fighting was over, the main force of the entire coalition army also crossed the river smoothly, and completed the encirclement of Beigang on the north bank.

And Beigang has become an isolated city connected to the mainland only by the Castel Bridge.

...

"Master Earl, why did you completely abandon the North Shore? Now we have completely become an isolated city!"

In Beigang, Viscount Leon-Castle looked at the girl standing on the viewing platform of the Mage Tower looking at the sea level, and couldn't help asking.

As night fell, the two sides had a temporary truce, and the magic shield did not need to be maintained. Charlotte also temporarily released her hands.

After hearing what the old Viscount said, she did not answer directly, but gave a new order while looking at the sea level in the distance:

"Secretary Len Castel, let me know and get ready for battle. We will have a big battle tonight."

"Big... big battle?"

The old Viscount was stunned for a moment.

Charlotte nodded slightly, then looked towards the sea level, and said with a smile:

"Yes, big battle."

"Our reinforcements are coming."

Following Charlotte's line of sight, Viscount Leon-Castle cast his gaze towards the sea, but he couldn't see anything except the fog gradually rising on the sea level.

"in addition……"

Charlotte paused, then took out another parchment scroll from her arms, and handed it to the old Viscount:

"The people on this list, please control them for the time being."

Viscount Lien-Castle opened the parchment in doubt, and was slightly taken aback when he saw the first name.

Without him, that was the name of his eldest son, Derek de Leon-Castell.

At the same time, thirty nautical miles away.

In the sea fog that gradually filled in, dozens of galleys were raising their sails and heading towards Beigang like ghosts at a speed of seven knots per hour.

Earl Urst stood on the flagship "Queen", looking through the binoculars at the brightly lit North Harbor in the distance, and the combined Boulder-Violet fleet moored in the open sea surrounding North Harbor.

After a while, he put down the binoculars, glanced at the bright moon gradually emerging from the dark clouds in the sky, a trace of crimson appeared in his eyes, and then he smiled:

"The moonlight tonight is really good."

After finishing speaking, he turned around and looked behind him:

"Everyone, what do you think?"

"Hey hey hey hey..."

On the deck, all of them were wearing black cloaks, they had already prepared their weapons, and the figures with scarlet eyes could be seen laughing.
