Tome of Blood

  The whimpering horn gradually raised its voice, and the silver light lit up the battlefield.

  As the accompanying mage chanted, the inscriptions on the Bold-Violet's extraordinary standing armor lit up one after another.

   "Hold the shield!"

  The commanding noble shouted loudly.

  The standing soldiers in full armor raised their shields one after another, and the inscriptions on the shields also lit up, and finally a honeycomb-shaped magic shield was outlined above the army formation.

  Castel's arrows fell like raindrops, and the galleys and guns in the river were all fired.

   It's just that, except for the enchanted arrows used by extraordinary people or the expensive magic-breaking stone bullets, conventional attacks can hardly cause damage to the activated magic energy array.

  The two sides quickly fought on the bridge, and as soon as they fought, it was a one-sided situation.

The nobles who led the Castel soldiers to defend the bridge were almost instantly swallowed by the brilliance of the magic formation. The silver formation was like a sharp steel knife, easily tearing apart Castel's line. , penetrated the bridge.

  Charlotte, who was looking at the battle situation from the height of the tower in Beigang, could see it more clearly.

After the enemy's magic energy array was dispatched, the Beigang Bridge, which the two sides had been fighting for a long time, was almost captured by the enemy at a speed of one meter per second. Squeezed off the bridge.

   "Lord Earl, Baron Saumur has sent a message that the Beigang Bridge can no longer be defended!"

   "My lord, Viscount Romain Fore sent a message that the fleet's ammunition for destroying demons is empty. Your lord suggested destroying the Beigang Bridge to prevent the enemy from crossing the river!"

   "My lord..."

   All kinds of bad news came one after another, and the situation deteriorated rapidly.

   And Charlotte also noticed that the magic shield covering the entire North Harbor was also becoming more and more crumbling under the artillery fire of the coalition fleet, and it seemed that it might be shattered at any time.

   "My lord..."

   Viscount Lien-Castel looked in the direction of the Beigang Bridge with a solemn expression, and couldn't help but say:

   "Destroy the bridge, we must not allow Chaofan to cross the river, once they successfully cross the river, the enemy's stone-shooting artillery will also be transferred to the north bank, and Beigang will fall into a more dangerous situation..."

   "Lord Earl, please order to destroy the bridge! Once they successfully control and activate the defensive magic, it will be difficult for us to do so!"

   "Yes, the Beigang Bridge can be rebuilt in the future, but Beigang must not fall!"

   Other nobles also persuaded.

  Charlotte slowly retracted her gaze, shaking her head slightly:

   "No, the Beigang Bridge is the key to our counterattack and cannot be destroyed."

   "Your Earl!"

  The nobles became anxious:

   "If you can't even defend, how can you talk about counterattack?"

   "Yeah, Bold has too many extraordinary standings, we can't fight against..."

  Viscount Leon Castel also sighed:

   "Lord Earl, although Beigang's magic defense system is powerful, there is a limit to what it can withstand. In order to protect the urban area, our shield is almost reaching its limit. If the enemy continues to advance, the consequences will be unimaginable..."

   As he spoke, he took a deep look at Charlotte and said respectfully:

   "I believe you have considered it and are looking forward to counterattacking back, but what we need to consider now is how to defend."

   "The strength of the magic shield is related to the strength of the maintainer. Although President Layton is a senior Silvermoon mage, it is still too difficult to maintain such a large-scale magic defense."

   "Our Castel is no longer the Castel with the blazing sun. Maybe your father could easily support the shield to protect civilians in the Star-Moon War, but now... times are different."

   "Master Earl, our Castel's magical power is no longer as good as before. In order to win, sometimes we must make some sacrifices..."

  After listening to the old Viscount's words, Charlotte's heart moved slightly:

   "Mr. Len Castel, what do you mean..."

   Viscount Lien-Castel gritted his teeth and said:

   "Destroy the Beigang Bridge, lift the protection of the urban area, only maintain the magic protection of the Earl's Mansion and the fortress, and delay the time of holding on as much as possible!"

  Charlotte frowned slightly.

  She was about to answer, but suddenly heard a sound like cracking glass coming from the sky.

  Charlotte looked up, and saw that the magic shield covering Beigang suddenly became more and more unstable, and some weak places even began to become unreal.

  The shelling of the principality fleet is still continuing.

   Under Charlotte's narrow gaze, some stone bullets even successfully penetrated the protection of the shield and fell into Beigang City.

   There was a huge roar, and thick smoke rose in the city, and people's screams of terror could be heard from time to time.

  Suddenly, another guard hurried over, followed by two personal guards, supporting a pale-faced magic apprentice.

   "Master Earl! There is an emergency report from the Mage Tower!"

   The guard said quickly.

  Charlotte looked at the apprentice:

"What happened?"

   "Count... my lord, Lord Layton is about to be unable to hold on, the magic shield... is going...to the limit..."

  After hearing what the apprentice said, the surrounding nobles changed their colors.

   "Master Earl! Can't delay any longer!"

   Viscount Leon Castel shouted.

  Charlotte was silent.

   "Your Earl!"

  The old Viscount repeated anxiously.

  Charlotte just raised her head, and saw her glance at the illusory magic shield in the sky, and suddenly said:

   "Mr. Len Castel, you just said...my father maintained the defensive magic that covered the entire North Port for a long time during the Star-Moon War?"

  The old Viscount was stunned for a moment, and subconsciously replied:

"Yes."

  Charlotte was thoughtful.

  After a few breaths, she suddenly raised her head and said directly to the guard:

   "Go, take me to the Mage Tower."

  The guards and the nobles were all taken aback, but looking at the girl's serious and beautiful side face, the old Viscount thought of something, and his expression changed suddenly:

   "Master Earl, you...you don't want to control the magic defense system yourself?"

   "That's right, your father did maintain the defense system covering the entire Beigang for a long time, but your father is Chi Yang! It's different!"

   "You are indeed growing rapidly and have great talents, but you are still a silver moon!"

   "The mental strength and magic power of the blazing sun powerhouses are far superior to ordinary superhumans. That gap cannot be made up by numbers. It is impossible for you to do it, and it is very likely that your life will be in danger!"

"you…"

  Charlotte suddenly raised her hand and stopped his words.

  I saw her put her green index finger on her lips, showing a soft and beautiful smile, and said softly:

  “If you don’t try, how will you know?”

   As she spoke, she raised her head and devoutly drew a circle of the cross on her chest:

   "It's not just the third prince who is fighting us, it's also the Blood Demon Cult that he secretly supports..."

   "I believe that as long as we have a pious heart, the gods... will protect us and defeat evil."

  Sorry, I have too much work in the morning, and I haven't had time to finish it, so it's been delayed until now.
