Chapter 334: Decisive Battle

The snow-covered mountains are like a white beast lying on the ground, exuding waves of coldness.

Castles stand on the body of the beast.

Countless magic patterns are engraved on the surface of the dark city walls, and the battlements at the top are bulging with silver gun muzzles or metal arrow towers, densely packed like hedgehogs.

Looking from afar.

You can see the figures of many guards on the city walls, most of whom are knights with curse marks engraved on their foreheads, or primitive barbarians who eat raw meat and drink blood, or strange foreign races.

Of course, the command level is still held by witches.

Even though Xizhou is vast and the population is extremely large, the number of witches has always been scarce.

Unlike the low threshold of knights, their requirements for talent are too high, and countless people are stopped at the threshold.

In order to solve such drawbacks and improve competitiveness, witches cooperate with knights, sign contracts, or directly cultivate knights who are loyal to them from an early age.

Witches have been collecting knights as servants and enslaving foreign races or primitive barbarians for quite a long time.

It should be said that it was like this at the beginning.

The witches in this world are wizards after all.

They are just slightly inclined to the direction of arcane wizards, and they also have some characteristics of dark magic.

So they need meat shields and need warriors to cooperate, after all, wizards are very fragile at low levels.

It is said that this was not the case ten thousand years ago. At that time, most of the contracts they signed with knights were relatively friendly employment contracts.

Witches helped knights make potions to enhance their strength, or other benefits, in exchange for the help of knights.

But with the rise of knights, the situation has changed.

Faced with witches weaker than themselves, few knights are willing to sign so-called contracts and work for witches.

Even normal employment is not very willing.

In the extraordinary world, the disadvantaged groups usually do not have much voice and pricing power.

It is understandable that it is so fragrant to get something for free.

When they have money, they are willing to trade with you normally, but once the situation is turbulent, it is inevitable to turn the table.

For example, now, in the context of extraordinary concealment, the Sword of War wants to obtain more resources and ensure that it still has strong enough competitiveness in the uncertain future.

Start robbing witches directly.

Although witches have long realized this and are planning to form alliances with alien races to deal with it.

However, disasters always come when they are caught off guard, deepening the world's correct understanding of it.

The heavy gray-lead clouds twisted unnaturally, and the witches in charge of patrolling in the castle raised their heads as if they had noticed something.

The clouds were rolling and boiling, and external forces triggered the magic circle they arranged in the air. The energy-surging thunder turned into a python running around in the sky, like the first sign of doomsday.

In the deafening explosion.

A red beam of light penetrated out of thin air, reflected in the eyes of everyone on the ground, and then crashed down.

After a stalemate for a moment, the entire magic circle was suddenly covered with green cracks, and it broke into countless pieces in less than a moment.

"Enemy attack!!!"

The witch in charge of the city defense screamed hysterically.

She strode to the edge of the city wall, and the flag of the Knights' Corps appeared at the end of her sight.

Sharp alarms began to spread, and a large number of witches began to gather towards the city wall from all directions.

Nearby buildings opened the steel gates.

Slaves with shackles on their hands and feet swarmed out, including huge beasts, hideous foreigners, barbarians...

But more were numb knights.

They wore enchanted heavy armor, held spears or swords, and exuded a fierce aura.

The wrinkled old witch raised a staff taller than herself, and the surging magic power turned into a dark green light that soared into the sky, once again opening the defense of the entire castle.

】

"Witches, if you don't want to be sold as slaves, lead your guards and slaves to fight the enemy!"

"Kill them all! Kill everyone in front of you!"

Thousands of official witches were dispersed to various units, and after casting spells to forcibly control the slaves, they released the shackles from them.

"You bunch of lowly fools, hurry to your respective battle posts! Now!"

Under the witch's whipping and scolding, the red-eyed slaves rushed to the city wall as if they had lost their minds.

The witch usually used various vicious strengthening potions on these slaves to conduct human experiments, and at the same time treated them as disposable consumables to deal with external wars.

Although these slaves were enslaved, their fighting instincts still existed, and they were more fierce and not afraid of death.

Although witches are weak, they are compared with knights.

In general, witches are a powerful cultivation system in Xizhou, second only to knights and aliens.

And witches are not good people. In a considerable part of Xizhou, they are synonymous with terror and evil.

"Immediately carry the enchanted shells and be ready to bombard at any time! You bunch of trash, hurry up!"

The witch in charge of the city wall command scolded her subordinates.

The black robe she was wearing rose up without wind, revealing the blood-red phosphorescent leather armor underneath, showing her heroic appearance.

She was the second most legendary person in the North, but even such a person looked extremely anxious at this moment.

The witches stationed in the tower defense began to chant together.

A huge circular magic circle quickly formed above the light shield, with strange runes and geometric shapes mixed into a dense pattern, giving rise to thousands of thunder and lightning as thick as buckets.

With the magic circle as the foundation, the vast magic power caused various elements to resonate, resulting in qualitative changes, and quickly expanded to the periphery.

…

When the light of dawn appeared from the distant sky, several knight legions had gathered five miles away from the Snow Witch City, and they still had a bloody smell that had not completely faded.

The knights drove their horses forward, and their active bodies radiated huge heat.

The blood stains on the armor began to melt, and flowed along the outline of the armor in drops.

The surface of the armor became clean and bright again.

The flags rang in the wind, and the blood rushing into the sky made the area hot.

The witches on the high ground had already seen the movements of the knight legion, and the enemy was like a dark cloud.

They wanted to swallow them up.

"Fight!"

Elias looked calm, and a trident-like staff appeared in her hand, flashing a cold luster.

Hearing her order, the witches who had been ready to go exuded different colors of mana energy.

Of course, facing unprecedented enemies, not all witches can muster the courage to fight the oppression brought by it.

Hundreds of witches can be seen with bright blood-red marks on their foreheads. They were cast under the spell of magic orders and forced to fight with the enemies outside the city.

For cowards like them, if they do not kill enough enemies within the specified time, their vitality will be continuously absorbed by the magic order.

In fact, it is not just these witches. All people have to devote all their minds and kill desperately.

Only in this way can they have a glimmer of hope. Otherwise, they can only be drowned and withered in the huge knight army.

In order to survive, they can only fight to the death!
