The rest of the people scattered, sealed off the entire mansion, and searched for the wizards who were hiding...
Anruk strolled through the manor filled with blood and body parts. Sharp screams continued to ring out from everywhere, from the enemies and the royal guards, but he turned a deaf ear to them.
He was waiting for the moment when the two great wizards could no longer hold back and jumped out!
Chapter 282 Occupation of the Royal Capital
In just over ten minutes, North, who was the fastest, had already led his men into the main house, where they were greeted by a series of magical attacks.
The radiance of magic and divine arts intertwined in the main house. There were scorching fireballs, solid ice, rising earth walls... Fulla, who had been hiding everywhere and fighting guerrilla warfare, suddenly changed her attitude and began to fight head-on.
North and the others then discovered that these wizards were all wearing strange "armor". The clothes were thick and wide, with strong iron wire wrapped around them, and they also had a small iron cage on their heads, which looked very funny.
What kind of weird witchcraft is this?
The unique design of Fulla and others made the priests afraid to step forward for a while. They could only hide behind and cast various magic spells on the Kingdom Guards to test the depth of these wizards.
Hundreds of reinforced guards rushed into the main house again, and bursts of shouts came out from the house.
【Chain Lightning】
The blue-purple lightning flashed continuously in the dim night, and its speed was extremely fast. Before the shouts of Flora and others were heard, it had already struck the guards.
Iron armor is an excellent conductor of electric current... The [Chain Lightning] released by more than a dozen wizards quickly made these guards experience the feeling of electric therapy, and then it was finished off with an extremely hot [Flame Torrent], sending these twitching and immobile guards into hell.
"By the way, why do we have to wear such ugly things?" After dealing with these guards who came to die, Fulla awkwardly pulled the iron cage-like protective gear on her head and spoke with a hint of complaint.
Moreover, it was obvious that their strength was no weaker than those priests, but the teacher did not allow them to go out for a head-on fight. Instead, he asked them to pretend to be defeated and just hold on here.
"Since the dean asked us to take them with him, there must be a hidden meaning behind it," Johnny said confidently. "And don't be too careless, Fulla. These people are not easy to deal with."
With the blessing of divine magic, even ordinary guards would not necessarily be fatally hit by a first-ring magic with extremely strong lethality, such as Fireball. If one wants to ensure the killing of these guards, one must use more powerful second- and third-ring magic.
Johnny knew that the priests wanted to use this method to consume their magic power.
Outside the door at this moment, North was extremely anxious. He organized several attacks but was still easily repelled. Apparently, he was not wrong. Most of the wizards should be hiding in the main house. There were too many of them, and they alone were not enough to capture this "fortress".
After losing a lot of manpower, North had no choice but to look to Cardinal Ansulfurk beside him for help.
Anluk, who had been watching, finally raised his hand. A glimmer of light flashed at his fingertips, and then the light gradually expanded and turned into a huge beam of light, flying towards the main house.
This is exactly the fourth ring magic - Judgment of Heaven!
Flora, Johnny and others who were in the house immediately felt an inexplicable sense of warning in their hearts, and then they saw a huge beam of light flying towards them.
The white light seemed to be able to dissolve everything. The door panels, tables and chairs along the way began to disintegrate and disappear under the inexplicable force...
But the attack that was sure to succeed was blocked.
The person who made the move was Anthony!
"Teacher!" Fulla shouted in surprise, her face full of excitement and excitement.
Anthony ignored Fulla and kept his eyes on Anluik from beginning to end. He knew this mortal enemy of the church quite well, but this was the first time they had actually fought each other.
"Where is Hattar?" Anluk suddenly asked.
"Your Highness is certainly doing more important things!" Anthony responded casually.
Such a response made Anluik vaguely uneasy, and the other wizard named Lin En, who was suspected to be a great wizard, did not come forward to deal with him together.
Was it because he was arrogant enough to think that he could handle it alone, or was it because the other person was not in this mansion...
Complex thoughts flashed through Anluk's mind, but he didn't have time to think too much. The flashing lightning had already appeared around Anthony, and the terrifying arc of electricity was hitting him head on...
……
At the same time, outside the city, Lydia and others who received the signal drove dozens of invisible airships into the sky together, and sprinkled catalysts made of salt powder, silver iodide and other things into the sky.
"Does this thing really work?" Darren muttered.
"It should work, right?" Lydia was somewhat confident. After all, the dean had done many incredible things in the past. Although she couldn't understand why throwing some powder into the sky would cause heavy rain...
But no matter what, their mission had been completed. Lydia was about to return in the airship, but a loud thunder rang in everyone's ears.
Darren immediately ran to the edge of the cockpit, stepped on a stool and looked down. He found that the sky had been covered with dark clouds and flashes of lightning without him noticing.
"It's raining, it's really raining!" Darren said in surprise. Lydia and the others stopped driving the airship and hurried over.
On the other side, Redel, who was waiting, looked up at the sky in astonishment. Strong gusts of wind blew past, and drops of raindrops were constantly falling from the sky, landing on their clothes and hair.
It actually rained. Redel was both surprised and delighted. He quickly asked everyone to act according to the plan.
Contrary to the information obtained by Anluk and others, although their "large force" is still in the southern part of the kingdom and is walking to the capital, it is just an act.
Their real elite had already arrived at the capital city in advance on airships, divided into several groups, and tonight was the best time to capture the capital city!
Raeder personally served as the vanguard, and with the hunters holding hooks and ropes, they quietly reached the foot of the city under the cover of darkness and thunder. They cast the hooks with extremely unskilled techniques, and then climbed up holding the ropes.
The ear-piercing sound of gunfire soon rang out from above, and just ten minutes later, the city gate of the royal capital was opened, and Ham and others who stayed outside the city immediately rushed into the city.
Since the powerful guards were all deployed to Hattar's mansion, and they had the epoch-making flintlock rifles in their hands, Redel and his men were like men in an empty land for a while, and soon controlled one third of the capital.
Many citizens of the capital who were immersed in their sleep were awakened by the successive gunshots. Unlike the Hattar Mansion which was soundproofed by Anluk, Redel and others who broke into the capital had no intention of concealing their presence. What they needed was to occupy the entire capital as quickly as possible!
Chapter 283: Legendary Thunder Magic!
"The miners... those miners bewitched by the devil are here to attack us!"
Screams of fear rang out in various places in the capital. Ever since Grand Duke Rickman led his army to defeat in Earl Joyce's territory half a month ago, all kinds of rumors have been spreading wildly in the capital.
There are rumors that the minds of these miners have been controlled by witchcraft, turning them into crazy and mindless zombies, and tens of thousands of people in the earldom have been used as bargaining chips for blood sacrifice to summon the evil god.
Many small nobles and wealthy businessmen gathered their guards and hurriedly packed up their belongings to escape. The civilians who had no ability to resist hid in their homes in fear, hoping that the kingdom's guards would be able to drive out the miners who had broken into the capital.
There is also a church in the royal capital, with an extremely powerful cardinal. The great Lord of the Stars and the Goddess of the Moon will definitely not abandon these devout believers!
Chaos spread rapidly in the capital. The drizzle of rain soon turned into a downpour. The flashes of lightning and the sound of gunfire in the sky mixed together like an impassioned symphony...
Although the flintlock rifles in the hands of Raeder and others were cast with waterproof magic in advance, they were still inevitably affected to some extent, and about one-sixth of the rifles could not be fired.
Fortunately, they had the defense map of the royal capital provided by the second prince Hattar, plus some temporary betrayal from the inside, so the battle went very smoothly. They defeated the resistance forces one by one before they could gather. Then Redel led his men to attack their final target - the royal palace!
The sudden change in the situation in the royal capital did not affect North and others who were in the soundproof magic, but everyone could feel the sudden heavy rain.
But no one cared about this at the moment. North let the cold raindrops run down his cheeks and seep into his collar, his eyes fixed on the battle in the center of the mansion.
Anruk was surrounded by an invisible divine barrier that blocked the crystal rain. A huge glowing spiritual guard stood in front of him, blocking the incoming lightning, but was blown away by a magical force the next moment.
Because he had to take into account the other great wizard who might appear from anywhere to attack him, Anluik did not use his full strength, but simply defended himself against the opponent's magic. However, he became more and more uneasy in his heart because Anthony in front of him was too weak.
He only barely possessed the power of a great wizard, which did not match the intelligence he had collected before...
"If this is all you're capable of, then stop here!" Anluk no longer held back, and the radiance of divine power around him emerged. Rusty chains stretched out from the void, breaking through the protective barrier set up by Anthony and quickly tying him up.
This is exactly the six-ring magic - [Chain of Divine Punishment]!
The chains came from the endless purgatory and represented the Lord's judgment on sinners. They could seal the power of magic and divine arts, making the bound person become a useless person.
"Teacher!" Fulla shouted in horror and wanted to run out of the house immediately, but was stopped by Johnny and others.
Lynn had told them before that no matter what happened, they must not leave the house, and after Anthony made his move, they should immediately retreat to the bunker in the main house.
However, Fura and the others were worried about Anthony's safety, so they didn't do it completely...
"Is this the limit?" Anthony's expression remained unchanged, and his whole body kept making sizzling sounds like butter being cut by a hot knife.
Fortunately, his mission has been completed!
Anthony's body was quickly cut apart under the restraints of the Divine Punishment Chains, but no blood flowed out. Instead, it cracked quickly like a mirror.
Anluik's pupils shrank slightly, and he realized that the great wizard in front of him was just a magical projection...
At the same time, complex inscriptions appeared on the floor tiles of the entire mansion. Powered by the lightning-inducing stones stored underground, a strong electric field was formed on the surface, echoing the flashing thunder in the sky...
This is a trap!
Anluik finally understood where the uneasiness in his heart came from. As he activated his magic, a circular magic barrier emerged from his body. However, it was obviously too late to figure it out now!
The moment the electric field is formed, the guidance technique is completed!
The next moment, huge pillars of lightning fell from the clouds, interweaving with the electric field constructed by the magic runes.
The violent electric current was firmly confined within the mansion. The substantial electric arc covered the entire area at a speed of tens of kilometers per second. The falling rain was rapidly electrolyzed, and everyone in the manor was included in it within zero point zero one second.
Everything happened so fast that North and the others were even immersed in the joy of the Cardinal defeating the great wizard Anthony, and there was only the dazzling lightning in front of them.
The divine protection on their bodies exploded in an instant. Billions of volts of high-voltage lightning rushed into everyone's body, and the muscle cells gradually dissolved. Then, under the high temperature of tens of thousands of degrees, they turned into a pool of rotten meat. The air continued to emit a strong burnt smell...
Fulla and others in the main house who were also within the range of the magic closed their eyes tightly when the lightning struck. However, after waiting for more than ten seconds, they did not feel any discomfort in their bodies. When they opened their eyes, they found that they were standing there unharmed.
"Is this a Faraday cage?" Frera was stunned for a long time before she suddenly realized this. Although the copper wire wrapped around them looked like it was randomly pieced together, it was also a small Faraday cage, so even the most terrifying electric current could not cause any harm to them.
But before she could feel the magic of the Faraday cage, Johnny had already sensed something was wrong from the rapidly rising concentrations of hydrogen and oxygen in the air, and immediately shouted anxiously.
"Don't stay here, hurry up and get to the bunker, it's going to explode soon!"
The power of billions of volts of high-voltage lightning is already extremely terrifying, but the power of thunder can also electrolyze rainwater into hydrogen and oxygen.
When the concentration of hydrogen and oxygen reaches a certain level, it will trigger a new round of explosion under the high temperature of tens of thousands of degrees. This process will be repeated continuously, releasing a large amount of energy. Every second, the people inside are equivalent to taking a hit from the five-ring magic [Elemental Torrent]!
This is the killer move that Lin En prepared for Anruk, a legendary thunder magic that can only be used with the help of celestial phenomena and alchemical formations!
Chapter 284: Marquis Mortain: No one can resist the wrath of God!
Half an hour ago, in the royal capital of Haderata, in Hattar's mansion, in a tower temporarily built with magic power, the second prince who had never been seen was gathering here with a group of nobles of the kingdom.
"Your Highness Hattar, why did you call us all here? What exactly do you want to do?" A noble of the kingdom could not stand this treatment that was almost like detention, and asked with dissatisfaction.
The rest of the nobles were also talking about it. Without exception, they all came here because of Hattar's sincere invitation.
Because in the past two days, King Bazel's sudden change in attitude and the act of placing the eldest prince Harold under house arrest made many people realize that the change of the throne was probably a foregone conclusion, so Hattar used only one invitation letter to invite all the kingdom's nobles in the capital except Harold's family.
However, as soon as they entered the room, everyone found something wrong, because the servants did not take them to the hall of the mansion, but brought them to this heavily guarded tower.
"You are all the most important pillars of the kingdom. I invited you here this time to discuss the future of the kingdom!" Hattar said with a smile, sitting upright on a chair.
