The Wizard: London From My Backyard

Chapter 90: Compound Crossbow with Power Magic (Second update of three today)

At night, the wind wolf leads the town.

Hotel top floor.

"Baron Windwolf, Lord Paris will confirm whether the investigation is over at noon tomorrow."

Several demon hunter knights opened the door, and Paris' son-in-law Lorient said while delivering food to Baron Windwolf.

Baron Windwolf took the dinner in silence.

Lorient's face was the same as usual, wearing glasses, with some vicissitudes, and a touch of melancholy hidden in his eyes.

And a witcher knight behind Lorient had a gloating look in his eyes, looking at Baron Windwolf as if he was looking at an unlucky guy who was about to face a catastrophe.

Baron Windwolf understood that these days, several officers and knights in the territory who were in direct contact with the Thieves Guild had been arrested and escorted away by church knights.

The thieves guild's spellcasters were involved beyond imagination, and those who were escorted away might never come back.

He hated it so much right now...

Those who hated the Thieves Guild's concealment, hated the counterattack of the Binghu Lord, hated Ricardo who joined the Demon Hunter Knight...

His eyes flashed with anger, and he walked to a wooden wall in the bedroom.

He leaned against the wall and said grimly:

"Is everything arranged for tomorrow?"

On the other side of the wooden wall, the voice of the captain of the wind wolf guard came:

"My lord, everything has been arranged. I will be released early tomorrow. After you leave the hotel, the castle guard will join you as soon as possible."

The investigations these days have clearly made Baron Windwolf feel that Paris's plan is very big.

After sensing the crisis, he has already acted with several core subordinates, except for himself whose actions are severely restricted.

The captain of the guard, who has no evidence of direct contact with the Thieves Guild, has used various means to remotely control the actions of the captains of the castle soldiers.

"What does the Frostwind Leader say? The Frostwind Viscount just let his enemy's offspring grow up like this?"

"Lord Viscount attaches great importance to it. He thinks that the wind wolf collar and the ice lake collar are already in a de facto state of war. Tomorrow morning, a team of Frostwind Iron Guards will arrive at the castle. They will cooperate with you and immediately raid the ice lake collar."

"Frostwind Iron Guard... that's good!"

Baron Windwolf's heart relaxed, but he made up his mind again, "Let everyone wear armor tomorrow, and release all the armor in the castle, no matter whether it is leather armor or armor. We will start to act as soon as the witcher knight retreats."

"With the Frostwind Iron Guards, and we were caught off guard, the newly added cavalry in the Ice Lake Territory will not help at all."

"As long as I go out, the advantage is with me!"

Baron Windwolf and Viscount Frostwind are both lords who have completed their title upgrades in this generation.

The power and strength of both of them are much higher than that of nobles of the same level.

Baron Windwolf has more intermediate and high-level knights, but now many core knights have been escorted and arrested.

As for Viscount Frostwind, not only is he outstanding in strength, but he also obtained the secret method of cultivating enchanted armored knights in the tomb of Panxue Mountain when he was young. The Frostwind Iron Guard is the product of this secret method.

...

The next day.

It's not yet dawn.

The kitchens of the castle and the Blossom Manor had almost prepared the meals for the soldiers before going out.

By morning time.

All the armored knights and the accompanying leather infantry who were about to go out had already eaten and put on their armor.

This time Ricardo did not ride in a carriage, but rode directly on a horse, personally took charge of the cavalry regiment, and marched towards the wind wolf leader.

The infantry in leather armor is in the front, and the carriage is in the middle.

More than a hundred armored knights in gray iron or black armor followed, marching mightily on the road between the territories.

When the tenant farmers along the way saw it, they all hid in the woods aside in fear.

An Erjie and the captain of the guard, who were wearing black armor on their horses, looked at the hundred-man costumed knights, and they felt very proud.

Less than two hours.

The army led by Binghu arrived at Windwolf Town.

There are castles guarding the edge of Windwolf Town, and there are few bandits intruding. There are no walls on the edge of the town.

The cavalry regiment circled to the side of the town, behind the slope that was out of view of the castle.

Then arrange for the infantry to start demolishing the houses that may affect the knight's charge in the triangular area from the slope to the castle to the town inn.

During the demolition, Paris suddenly appeared on the slope beside Ricardo's horse.

He was wearing a hooded black robe, and his whole demeanor was that of a spellcaster.

"Ricardo, your Ice Lake Leader is really surprising. There are more than a hundred armored knights and enchanted armors."

"It seems that the wealth you have accumulated in the Wizarding Continent is really rich."

On the slope, Paris glanced at the cavalry around him, with some envy in his eyes.

"The governor of the provincial center is already in place. Lorient will release the Baron Windwolf in another quarter of an hour. You can decide for yourself what to do to the inspectors. Let's perform this battle. You don't need to plan your troops. You can win by crushing them directly."

Ricardo responded with a slight smile:

"The wind wolf leader will not sit still, and I don't want unnecessary losses."

"If everything goes well, it can be said that it is thanks to you and Miss Vera."

Ricardo is also considering the whole plan comprehensively in his mind. His target benefits include the progress of the Flower of Evil and the improvement of knight skills. He has to consider harvesting as much malice as possible in this battle.

After all, such a battlefield is not too big or small, and it happens that all the enemies can focus on themselves, and their individual strength is enough to crush them, and there may not be many in the future.

...

After half an hour.

The houses were demolished, leaving enough sightlines.

Ricardo was on the slope, and with a modern ordinary telescope, he could see the inn in the town, where Baron Windwolf was being escorted out.

Handed over to a group of guards led by the wind wolf.

In the distance, there were already dozens of heavily armed cavalry and infantry in Windwolf Castle.

"Let's go. We're going over now, the timing is right."

Ricardo seized the opportunity with a clear telescope, and he jumped directly onto the horse.

The enchanted long sword was pulled out from the scabbard, the frost blue magic circuit on the long sword was activated, and the cavalry beside him whistled.

This small army moved slowly towards the midpoint between the Wind Wolf collar castle and the inn.

Behind Ricardo is the Knights in Armor.

On the flanks is Teresa wearing a fully enclosed black helmet. She leads the team of enchanted vine armor, and the doppelgänger Evil Flower Puppet is also mixed in with the vine armor.

In addition, there are four soldiers with better shooting skills in the castle, and they are temporarily given the right to wear enchanted rattan armor and use modern compound crossbows, riding beside them.

When the army is about [-] meters away from Baron Windwolf, and the guard of Baron Windwolf is only tens of meters away from the army led by Windwolf.

Ricardo raised his hand.

"Longbow infantry, shoot the arrows!"

Some of the infantry at the rear of the cavalry regiment raised their longbows and started shooting arrows at Baron Windwolf's guard.

"Teresa's team, let's shoot arrows from the bow and crossbow, and I will use spells to empower!"

Modern compound crossbows have a shorter effective range, but this problem can be solved by Ricardo's empowerment trick.

Dozens of arrows flew towards Baron Windwolf's guard!
