MTL - I Made Scientific Magic-Chapter 414 The surprise attack of the Holy See and the defeated defenders

  Chapter 414 The surprise attack of the Holy See and the defeated defenders

  At midnight, in Mistland, the 50,000 imperial crusade army arrived at the city silently under the cover of the legendary magic - the illusory realm.

   "It seems that these wizards really have some skills!" Joshua looked at the towering city wall in front of him, and whispered to himself.

  The last time they came, there was only a low wall of less than three meters in this small border town, but what appeared in front of them now was a seven-meter-high solid wall.

   It only took half a day for the wizards to complete such a miracle with magic!

  On the city wall, a bonfire was blazing, and more than 1,500 guards could be vaguely seen stationed on the city wall. It seemed that no trace of them had been found yet.

The number of guards was much smaller than Joshua expected, but considering that in the previous battle, the Musketeers also suffered heavy casualties, and most of them should be recuperating and receiving treatment now. Musketeers, the number is not much different.

  The corner of Joshua's mouth raised a sneer, and those wizards probably couldn't imagine that they restored the empire's guards to their fighting strength after only ten hours, and launched a surprise attack overnight.

   "Your Majesty Lucia, Lord Judge, do you want to launch an attack now?" Siride asked respectfully.

  The distance of 700 meters is already the limit, and if they get closer, even if they are in the realm of illusion, they will be aware that something is wrong!

  As for the lava fire dragon, Siride let it stay ten miles away, and flew over at the moment of the battle, but it would be sensed by the wizards.

  Lucia stretched out her right hand, and the boundless divine light gathered in her palm, shrinking into a ball the size of a thumb, and then flew straight to the towering city wall 700 meters away.

  The soldiers on the city wall could only see a bright firefly floating towards them in the dim night. The speed was extremely fast, and the distance of 700 meters could be said to be reached in an instant!

   Before they could even shout, the ray of fluorescent light expanded rapidly, and then exploded!

  Booming. Deafening explosions resounded throughout the entire castle. The tall walls were shattered under the impact of this strong explosion. The city gate was directly blasted open, and broken stones flew, forming a fog like mist and rain.

  Dozens of patrolling guards on the city wall were knocked to the ground by the aftermath of the explosion, blood was splashed everywhere, and screams and wailing resounded continuously...

The moment Lucia made a move, the 【Domain-Illusory Realm】was destroyed in an instant. Thousands of divine punishment knights shouted "For the glory of the Lord!" The knives and long swords cut down the guards in the city to the ground one after another!

Perhaps the timing of their attack was too sudden, and the enemy hadn't reacted yet, or it might be that the morale of such people had been crushed in the midday battle, and they hadn't recovered yet. During this assault, they didn't encounter any Without any obstacles, the crusading army of the Holy See has already entered the city!

It went so smoothly... Joshua felt a lot of uneasiness in his heart. After entering the city, they found that a torch was placed on every street and many guards were placed, but they did not encounter any effective guards. Snipe!

   No rows of musket fire, no artillery, and no wizards!

  The whole city was 'quiet', only the terrified shouts of the guards fleeing in all directions.

  It's so weird that it's frightening!

   "What's going on here?" Syrid was at a loss, really confused about the situation.

   What about their enemies? What about those wizards?

   Just when everyone was wondering, a group of brave God's Punishment Knights captured the leader of the guards.

  It was a middle-aged man in his thirties, with a slightly thin body and fat cheeks. He knelt down on the ground with a face of fear, kowtowed repeatedly, and said in a trembling voice.

  "Master Bishop, I surrender...I surrender! I beg you to forgive my sins, those **** wizards cast a spell on us, forcing us to help them guard this town..."

   "Enough!" Joshua interrupted the man's justification, and asked indifferently. "Tell me, where are those wizards?"

   "They... they left in a flying house fifteen minutes ago." The thin middle-aged man replied timidly.

   "You mean they have already escaped?" Joshua frowned slightly and said in surprise.

   This is not impossible. After all, the power of the empire and the Holy See is far from comparable to the minions of these demons. The wizards have just experienced a defeat and brought many wounded soldiers. It is very normal for them to flee.

   It's just that the timing was so coincidental, just fifteen minutes before they arrived.

   Their luck can only be described as bad!

   "Do you know which direction those wizards are going?" Lucia asked suddenly.

   "Yes...it's the north side!" The middle-aged man replied hesitantly.

  As soon as this remark came out, the bishops present showed a look of astonishment, because the kingdom was to the west of them!

   If you want to evacuate, it is impossible to fly to the north anyway!

   "Is there anything in the north?" Lucia asked suspiciously.

   "It's kerosene!" Joshua's expression was very solemn. After searching the memories of the prisoners before, he had some doubts about this.

  Because the wizards launched this counterattack, the first goal should be to regain the lost territory of the kingdom. The remaining two legions have been stranded in the kingdom before, which can prove this point.

  The legion they encountered was the only exception. It took the initiative to break into the territory of the empire. The goal was the Mistland, and it was probably for the fuel.

   "These wizards must want to seize or destroy the empire's weapon of war!" Syrid said indignantly.

  The importance of kerosene is self-evident. It has played a great role in the war against barbarians and dealing with strange monsters in recent years, reducing a large number of casualties.

  Lucia shook her head, not agreeing with Syrid's guess.

   Kerosene is easy to use, but it is not enough compared to the artillery owned by wizards.

   "It should be that the Wizard Council has found other uses for fire oil." Lucia guessed.

  During the last crusade against the kingdom, the Griffin Knights led by Avidell brought a lot of fire oil, and nine out of ten were captured.

Those wizards must have discovered some secrets after doing some research on this thing, so they are very eager to get it, and even think that it can affect the outcome of the war to a certain extent, so they suddenly come forward at such a critical moment. To find kerosene...
