Halfway through her words, Becky choked with sobs and stopped talking. But her next action surprised Many and Victoria. She covered her head with the blanket and started crying!
What's going on?
Many looked back at Victoria. The latter looked at Becky's strange behavior in a daze and did not know how to explain it.
"Dang —"
Suddenly, the sound of a bell rang outside the window. This was the alarm bell that represented the enemy's attack. Many raised his head and looked at Victoria. He immediately said, "Take care of her."
But he then whispered into Victoria's ear, "Be careful and keep your distance."
At this moment, Many was still worried about Becky's condition. What happened in front of him was too strange, and he could not make a conclusion. At the same time, he shouted at the door, "Gash!
Bring your men and guard here! "
That was the name of the Kulun Trolls. They had been lurking around the area, and Many could sense them.
The latter did not respond, but Many was relieved. Then, he looked at the Radiant Scepter that was frozen in the ice on the other side of the house. Without saying anything, he took out Krillin's Blade and was ready to teleport to the city wall.
But the next moment, he found a problem!
He could not teleport anymore!
He frowned. He suddenly discovered that the feeling this scepter gave him was somewhat different … That faint emotion had actually disappeared. The Krillin's Blade in his hand was just like the ordinary weapons he had used before, it couldn't bring him any emotional changes!
This was definitely not normal. Could it be that it had lost its effectiveness?
Did it need to replenish its energy?
Many did not have the time to think about these questions. He gave up on teleporting, turned around, and rushed out of the house, running towards the city wall of Sibor.
Victoria looked at the back of the many figures. She seemed to be immersed in the inexplicable sense of excitement when he spoke into her ear just now. With a shudder, Victoria looked down at Becky. The latter was still crying under the covers. She did not know the reason for it.
Keep your distance.
Victoria silently repeated Many's instructions to her. She felt a little sweet in her heart. She then took a few steps back and said softly, "Becky, Many is gone. Why are you crying?
Can you tell me? "
"He left …?"
Becky's voice sounded muffled under the blanket.
"Let's go."
Victoria felt that the Becky in front of her had suddenly become the girl next door, as if she was throwing a tantrum at someone.
After listening to Count's words, Becky slowly pulled down the quilt and turned around to look at the house. Seeing that there were no more figures, she seemed to be relieved — but the tear stains at the corner of her eyes told Victoria that she was not pretending to cry.
"I... I almost killed him..." Becky was sobbing a little, but she looked completely different from the dignified bishop. "But he did not care about what I did... and took care of me... I..."
"Becky, what happened?"
Victoria really felt that it was very strange. How did the Bishop become like this?
"I don't know … I don't know … Only Ramiel knows …"

"Have a good rest. Don't cast any large-scale spells for now."
Many reminded Momore, who was next to him, and then stood on the tower of the city wall, looking at the army in the distance. The attack of the rebel army today was as fierce as ever. The forest in the distance provided them with endless wood, but the siege equipment yesterday seemed to be semi-finished, so they were built relatively quickly. Today, after they came to the city wall, there was no follow-up action. Because the siege equipment needed to be made by the engineers, these guys just created a sense of oppression.
The distance was more than a kilometer. Many estimated that the catapults of Sibor could not attack from such a distance, but it was not a problem for the weapons in Many's hands.
The infantry phalanx in the distance was very dense, which was not very conducive for the cavalry to charge in, because it would cause the cavalry to quickly slow down due to the overly dense battle formation, and then completely fall into the infantry phalanx, which would immediately increase the cavalry's losses. The army in the distance looked as sturdy as an iron bucket, and many looked at them, but it seemed that they would have to guard the city wall for a few days.
At noon, a letter was sent to Many, and Many quickly wrote a reply, asking the mages to meditate as soon as possible to recover their energy and magic power. Some of the plans had been put on the agenda, and Many had other things to do at the moment, and Sibor could not afford to waste so much energy.
For the entire day, the enemy stood quietly outside the city, as though they were demonstrating. Many of the sniping scopes saw the soldiers lined up neatly under the scorching sun, assuming an offensive posture. It was as though their superior had given the order to attack, but the bugle horn had not been blown yet.
The real attack would officially begin a week later. New siege weapons had been prepared, and this time, there seemed to be more mages in the rebel army. Huge fireballs and large-scale destructive spells descended from the sky, smashing into the walls of Sibor. But the Magician Squad responded immediately. With just the first wave of attacks from forty mages, the enemy mages were immediately silenced!
It could not be helped. The entire Magician Squad of Sibor only had this much firepower!
Not to mention the firepower from just one side of the city wall.
The enemy's attack was stunned once again, but this time, they did not let them go so easily. Momor used a grade seven large-scale ice storm spell and blasted the soldiers below the walls of Sibor!
Then, the Magician Squad attacked with all their might, leaving the rebel army in a sorry state as though they had been bombed by a bomber!
The city wall could not be breached!
The morale of the rebel soldiers plummeted to the bottom. Many of them did not manage to intimidate the rebel army on the first day, so this time, they were fearless and sent more than half of their usual soldiers to charge the city wall. But this resulted in a tragedy for them!
Suddenly, it was as though the sky was falling and the earth was splitting apart. The eyes of the soldiers were filled with intense flashes of light and explosive shockwaves. Limbs flew everywhere, turning the area below the city wall into a living hell.
Many of the commanders stood on top of the city wall and watched the scene before them quietly. They did not move at all. He was like a cold commander, calmly watching the battle unfold before him.
The reason why he stood on top of the city wall and did not settle down in the camp like the other commanders was because of his inherent cautiousness and carefulness. The other reason was because he was waiting for what was going to happen next.
The Magician Squad could not afford to lose a single person. Many understood that his way of thinking might be a little naive. There were bound to be sacrifices in war, but he was doing his best to reduce such sacrifices.
In less than half an hour, the rebel army retreated without any resistance under the bombardment of magic spells. This was a battle on a different level. Many of the Magician Squads had an absolute advantage. Just like his dragonriders and vulcan cannons, they were important forces that could determine the outcome of a battle with a single blow. Madam Vasaki, on the other hand, was a strategic deterrent that was equivalent to a 'nuclear warhead'.
However, Many's other plan had been planned a long time ago …
Baron Jared was the commander of the rebel army. At this moment, he looked at the terrifying magic attack below the city wall. His expression did not change, but his fingers were slightly clenched. The situation was a little unexpected. The trebuchets of the rebel army could not even pose a threat to the soldiers on the city wall. Their two attacks were all in vain. This time, they were completely routed!
This kind of siege really consumed a lot of manpower!
They still had the manpower, but the morale would continue to drop. This was a vicious cycle. When the morale was low to a certain point, it was easy for the soldiers to flee en masse. Marching to war was a big taboo. This situation must be stopped!
However, there was really no other way. In this era, there were only so many ways to besiege a city. The support of the Magicians was not enough. The Magicians of the Imperial City, Sirius, were not loyal to Marquis Barton, so the army could not get the support of the Magicians. Faced with the magic being cast down from the city wall of Sibor, Jared was really at his wit's end.
The horn of retreat sounded. In fact, the soldiers had already begun to flee. No one could rush up the city wall against so many magic spells. It was too cruel for the soldiers.
When they were more than a kilometer away from the city wall, the army began to regroup and retreat in an orderly manner … But when these soldiers thought that today's battle was over, a sudden alarm sounded in the distance, causing them to freeze in place!
It was already late. At this moment, the sun had already set halfway up the mountain. But with the little afterglow, they saw a black army on the ground in the distance!
