Dawn of the Grey Tower

() "Damn! The spell has failed!" In a small room, there was a womanish voice. On the floor in front of her was drawn an extremely complicated pattern. In the center of these patterns, the crystal ball used as a communication medium had shattered, and the 666 candles surrounding the woman and the pattern were all extinguished.

A strong fire burst out of the spell book spread out in front of her, burning this evil book made of human skin instantly.

"How is this possible? That kid is just a fledgling just out of the mage tower. How is he possible ..." Kuila, the witch who had previously greeted Amya, entered the room after hearing her companion's cry, At a glance she saw the burning spellbook with the cover only. You know, this book is something that their witch corps took a lot of effort to get. This whole book only records one spell, which is to drive an extremely terrible existence through sacrifice.

This existence is called the mother of the shadow, and according to the book is an ancient and wicked evil spirit. Unlike other evil existences with many priests, the sacrifice to the Mother of Shadow has rarely been recorded since ancient times, and no one has claimed or witnessed the denomination or organization that worshipped it. Everything is more unknown and unpredictable than other beings.

However, no one would doubt the power of an evil god, even if he is not obsessed with spreading his faith, but this does not mean that he will be weaker than other known beings. Anyway, from the perspective of the creatures in this world, the strengths and weaknesses that exist at high positions are completely meaningless, just as ants can't distinguish between human beings. This is why the witches regard this call that can only be used once as the best meeting ceremony. In their view, killing the cheese, the biggest reliance of this Amya, can give this traitor the greatest fear, In this way, their revenge is meaningful.

But what they did not expect was that the summoning technique, which took a lot of resources to release, would fail! Although I don't know what went wrong, what is certain is that the gray-robed mage called cheese has not been killed by the shadow mother. This result is obviously unacceptable to the witches. After all, as the person responsible for destroying the evidence of the Pharmacist Association, if the mage really takes the chief pharmacist ’s notes alive, it is undoubtedly the plan for the “adult”. Heavy blow.

"Qili? Call her, I want her to kill the gray robe now!" Kuila's brow furrowed in her eyes when she thought about the terrible consequences of letting the mage away. A flash of ignorance of fear or anger. Now that the cheese is weak, as long as they start now, it is entirely possible to intercept the mage halfway. As long as the cheese is killed, then what happened tonight can be erased in one stroke ...

The lights are off. The witches were swallowed by this sudden darkness and stiffened in place. In order to cast a spell, this room had no windows other than the door, and when Cuira entered the room, the door was closed properly. So what is it that blows out the lights?

On the other hand, outside the walls of the Wangdu, a large number of rat people are still attacking the city with fearlessness. The corpses of rat-men who died during the day are piled under the city wall, so that the latecomers can more easily climb to the city wall. As the battle progresses, the pile of corpses grows higher and higher, although most of the city walls are still above the pile of corpses, but for the rat people, the difficulty of siege has been greatly reduced than during the day.

In contrast, the combat power on the human side is severely damaged. Humans are a species that is easily controlled by emotions. After the initial fear and excitement, the battle continued for a whole day and the soldiers and commanders were numb. In the protracted war, numbness is the deadliest problem. Once the soldiers are used to hacking, they will forget to avoid sudden changes. Physical exhaustion can be recovered by short rest and eating, but mental exhaustion is often more difficult to heal and more fatal.

"Gaha!" The murmur jumping up from under the city wall screamed at a soldier who was facing his back. The soldier was fighting intently with the enemy in front of him. He didn't realize that his companion should be covered now. He was caught in a fight and had no time to care for him. The Ratman's claws extended toward the neck that was not protected by the armor. The attacked soldier had already sensed something wrong, but his mental fatigue made him miss the opportunity to dodge.

"Poof!" The sound of the blade passing through the flesh rang from behind the soldier, but it did not come from the claws of the ratmen. The iron knight kicked the rat-man off the sword and pulled out his weapon.

"Soldier, focus on that," the elder knight said, holding the right elbow of the soldier with his left hand and pushing forward violently, sending the sword in the soldier's hand into the heart of another ratman.

After saving the soldier, Atticus did not stop. He held the iron rule and walked on the wall. Whenever a defender is found to be tired, the knight will help them clean up the ratmen on the city wall, and use actual actions to inspire them to continue fighting. In fact, not only the iron knights, but the knights of the kingdom knights in the royal capital, like their heads, were reduced to zero and integrated into every unit fighting on the city walls, and became a lampstand for other soldiers. It can be said that without these determined knights, the human front may have collapsed.

But this is not the way. Atticus threw a rat-man off the wall, looking at the green eyes under the wall and thinking. There are too many ratmen, and the space on the city wall is limited. When the dead bodies of warriors and ratmen are too late to clean up, the space for human activities will be compressed. This trend is fatal. Once more than half of the space on the city wall is filled with corpses, even if the attack of the Ratmen is weakened, humans may no longer be able to hold the city wall as easily as they started.

We need reinforcements. The Iron Knight looked at the darkness in the distance. It doesn't need much, even if it is just a squad of dozens of people, as long as they come from a distance wearing the armor of the blue lion, it is enough to inspire all the warriors on the city wall. Atticus has good eyesight, and his military career for many years has not hurt his eyes. Even in this dark night, the Iron Knight can see far away from the fire on the wall. Suddenly, in the darkness in the distance, behind the army of Ratmen, he seemed to see something.

"Soldier, I need lighting." The captain of the knight walked up to the tower and pulled a soldier holding a bow and arrow, pointing in a direction in the distance.

The soldier was originally a relatively large individual among the sniper ratmen, and was suddenly pulled up by someone, which was a bit of confusion. But when he saw that the person who spoke to him was the head of the Kingdom Knights ~ www.readwn.com ~, he was immediately stunned, without saying anything, he did a military salute. After hearing the knight's request, the archer nodded deeply, withdrawing an arrow wrapped in cloth from the quiver at the foot, and dipping the oil in the oil pool beside, immediately A soldier stepped forward and lit the lighting arrow.

"Shoot a little higher, that thing is behind the Ratman." Atticus said.

The archer nodded, pulled the longbow in his hand to the maximum, and shot into the air.

The flaming arrows are like a meteor, passing the battlefield at a very fast speed, causing the rats under the city walls to turn their heads. Many soldiers were also attracted by this arrow. They didn't understand why they had to shoot a lighting arrow at a distance at this time. This is completely unexplainable. But when they saw where the arrow fell, all soldiers, including Atticus, were frightened by the fire.

Although the rocket can provide a limited field of vision due to distance and night, in this limited field of vision, these people clearly see that behind the mouse people, there are one or several huge, bloated, but larger than the giant The Ratman needs something huge.

"Graveyard guard." Chief Iron Knight murmured after seeing the shadows.
