Chapter 166 The War is Coming
"Bang bang bang".
Early in the morning, it was just dawn outside, but there was a loud knock on the door outside.
"Merlin, get up quickly, something happened!"
Old Wilson's low voice came from outside the door, and his tone seemed to be very rapid.
"Um?"
Merlin suddenly opened his eyes. He glanced at Avril and Sherry next to him. He was still sleeping very sweetly now, and there was no sign of waking up.
So, Merlin did not wake them up, but stood up and opened the door. He found the old Wilson standing outside the door with an anxious look on his face. When he saw Merlin, he said in a deep voice: "Mellin, go quickly. Longardi has sent a large army. Now he has arrived outside the city. Earl Sailin sends someone to invite you to the Earl's Castle to discuss."
"Longardi is moving so fast?"
Merlin was also a little surprised. In his opinion, Longadi decided to swallow the Pugas city-state in one bite. It should take some time, but he didn't expect it to be so fast.
"Father, then I'll go first!"
Merlin put on her clothes and quickly arrived at the hall where two knights had already been waiting.
"Sir Baron, please invite me!"
The two knights were also very polite to Merlin and said respectfully.
"Lead the way!"
Merlin followed the two knights, got into the carriage, and rushed towards the Earl Castle.
Soon, the carriage slowly stopped, and Merlin jumped out of the carriage and found that many carriages had been parked outside the Earl Castle. It seemed that Earl Selin had called many people.
Merlin walked directly into the castle and found many nobles, all of whom were anxious. Earl Sailing's expression was also ugly. Now he was just barely calm in front of everyone.
"Barl Merlin! You're here just in time. Now there are many Ribes troops outside the city. Our city of Pugas has become in danger!"
When Earl Sailing saw Merlin, a hurried look on her face and said, "It's even a mess." Earl Sailing, who was in the past, was not as unsightly as he was now. This shows how serious the matter was.
"The army of the city-state of Ribes has arrived outside the city. Is there no way for you?"
Meilin glanced slightly and found that most of the nobles were bitter, but no one could tell anything.
"The only way now is to fight!"
Finally, a figure stood up and said loudly. Merlin narrowed his eyes slightly and looked at the person who was talking carefully. He found that it was the son of Earl Sailing, Commander Cook!
"Haha, not bad, what else can I do now? I can only fight!"
Suddenly, another sharp sound came from outside the door, and then, wearing a black robe, his whole body was covered by a wide black robe. It was the old man with black robe.
Earl Sailing showed a hint of surprise on his face, but then a hint of worry appeared on his face, and he whispered: "Master Hill, how are you injured?"
Earl Sailing also knew that the old man with black robe had injuries, so he naturally didn't know what the spell model was unstable, but he knew that the old man with black robe was in a bad condition and could not take action at will.
The old man in black robe glanced at melin and nodded slightly after seeing melin. Then he said loudly: "My injuries are still mostly caused by the potion brought back by Baron Merlin from the Dark Spirit Realm, which has helped me recover a little. Although I have not fully recovered, I can still use all my strength. So this time, Pugas City has reached such a dangerous level, how can I not come?"
Earl Sailing nodded, still very happy. After all, the arrival of the old man in black robe has strengthened their strength a little.
"Okay, Master Hill, you agree to a battle, Baron Merlin, what do you think?"
Earl Sailing finally looked at Merlin and asked Merlin.
After pondering for a while, Merlin narrowed his eyes slightly, and then said coldly: "I also agree with the proposal of Commander Cook and Mage Hill. The only way now is to let go!"
As Merlin finished speaking, the whole hall became extremely quiet, and everyone looked at Earl Sailing. It was time for Earl Sailing to make a choice.
"War, at all costs! Longardi, if he wants me, the city-state of Pugas, then he must be prepared to pay a heavy price!"
Earl Sailing suddenly stood up and said loudly, his tone was also very firm.
"Fight, do whatever it takes!"
All the nobles also started to yell, which also means that the upper nobles of Pugas City are united and will defend Pugas City at all costs.
Immediately afterwards, Earl Selin began to arrange and deploy the many troops in Pugas City in an orderly manner, while Merlin came to the old man in black robe and whispered: "Master Hill, do you really have no problem?"
The old man in black robe showed a smile and nodded, "Yes, your purple stone powder potion is indeed very effective. Although it has not completely stabilized the spell model, it no longer affects my release of the spell!"
It does not affect the release of spells, which means that the old man in black robe has already possessed combat power and is no longer a spellcaster who was in danger before and would collapse at any time!
Soon, Earl Sailing made arrangements, so everyone walked up to the city gate together.
On the city gate, Merlin could clearly see that outside the city, there were dense soldiers, some knights holding spears, some infantry holding shields, and some heavy crossbowmen hiding far away. Even Merlin could see the terrible heavy crossbow machines in the army of Ribes.
This heavy crossbow machine is difficult to build, but once it is built, it is very powerful. It can shoot dozens of crossbow swords as thick as a baby's arm, and its power is even more amazing.
Such powerful heavy crossbow machines have appeared, which also shows that Longadi is determined to win this move and must completely break through Pugas City.
Earl Sailing looked at the many soldiers in the city-state of Ribes below, and his face was pale.
"Preventing to the death is not a solution. They will sooner or later break through. No matter what, we must try to attack!"
Earl Sailing quickly stabilized his emotions. Although he saw so many people in the city-state of Lebes below, he also knew that there was no way out and it was never a solution to defend himself. Now, he can make a head-on attack while there is no victory or defeat.
"Open the city gate and send 20,000 knights to attack the opponent's formation!"
Earl Sailing said in a deep voice that, such a large war, tens of thousands of people fighting each other, requires extremely excellent command ability. Neither Merlin nor the old man in black robe can help much.
Merlin's goal is to prevent the opponent's spell caster from destroying the city gate. As long as the city gate is not broken for a day, Pugas City will be safe.
Soon, the gates of Pugas opened and many knights rushed out from it, including a black torrent, which attracted great attention.
"Father!"
Merlin narrowed his eyes slightly. At some point, Old Wilson actually led his hundreds of armored knights under him and rushed out of the city gate.
Earl Sailing looked at Merlin with a worried look, then whispered: "Baron Merlin, do you want me to order Commander Wilson to come back?"
Now Old Wilson is no longer a baron, but just a commander in Merlin's territory. Earl Selin is also afraid that Old Wilson will encounter danger and will cause Merlin to misunderstand.
However, Merlin shook his head slightly, looked at the old Wilson under the city, and said calmly: "No need, maybe this is the life my father wants. He has been training the heavy armored knight, isn't it just to go back to the battlefield?"
Merlin knew that decades in the army had a great impact on Old Wilson. Perhaps fighting hard on the battlefield was the life that Old Wilson wanted.
"war!"
Sailin immediately gave the order, and immediately, 20,000 knights began to rush towards the formation of the city-state of Lebes, and tens of thousands of knights rushed out of the army of the city-state of Lebes and began to strangle wildly.
In the battle between tens of thousands of people, a few or dozens of people did not play much role, and every life seemed so small.
This was the first time Merlin saw such a huge war scene. When two knights met, they were cruelly strangled, either you died or I lived.
Among the two torrents, a black torrent seemed extremely conspicuous. It was the heavy armored knight of old Wilson. This heavy armored knight, which had spent more than ten years of energy from Old Wilson, followed from Blackwater City to Pugs City. Until now, they finally realized their value. On the battlefield, they were like a sharp knife, stabbed directly into the enemy's heart.
Wherever the heavy armored knight goes, almost no one can resist it and is invincible!
However, their number is too small, and the Cavaliers of Pugas City have begun to show their defeat.
Earl Sailin behind the city wall shook his head slightly, with a hint of disappointment on his face, and whispered: "I'm defeated... I'll send the order to let everyone withdraw to the city and close the city gate!"
Earl Sailing soon saw that the situation was not good enough for the first time. In any case, he could not fight all his vitality. After all, they had to rely on them to defend the city of Pugas.
So the knights of Pugas City began to gradually withdraw from Pugas City.
Merlin has been paying attention to Old Wilson. Although the heavy armored Knight had just made a fierce attack and damaged many people, Old Wilson had nothing to do and finally retreated to the city.
Seeing that Old Wilson was indeed nothing, Merlin breathed a sigh of relief.
Looking at the dense soldiers below, Meilin frowned. His strongest range attack spell, Thunder Net, could only cover dozens or hundreds of meters, and he could not reach the point of scanning a large area and sweeping thousands of troops alone. That was the ability that only spell casters above level four have.
"Master Hill, you participated in the brutal 'slaughterhouse' war. It is impossible for those powerful spellcasters to be all level 4 spellcasters. How did those low-level spellcasters do it?"
Merlin turned his gaze to the old man in black robe next to him and asked softly.
