Chapter 99 The heavyweight debuts
King Charo, who received information from Fostertan's army at the first time, held on to his weak and old body, and despite the opposition of the ministers, he personally climbed the city tower of Audis.
"It turned out that it was such an army that defeated our Sharlot's army." The elderly king extended his thin right arm and pointed at the Forstan's army outside the city.
At this time, the Fostein army was still mobilized, but the order was in order and the orders were still in tranquility. The army was full of honor and prosperity, and the anxious and nervous Charlotte soldiers on the city walls formed a sharp contrast.
It is no wonder that King Charlotte sighed so much. At least half of the Forstan army outside the city were veterans who had participated in several battles, and many of them, like Locke, who had joined the army for several years, would never have passed the battles.
As for the Sharlot defenders in the city, except for the 20,000 original defenders and the troops brought back when Marquis Philip retreated, the rest were all recruits that had been recruited recently.
This group of refugees, farmers, new recruits from citizens, would have a simple sprint, which would be great. Do you still want to have a calm mind and willpower?
In addition to the king, the nobles of Charlotte also climbed up the city tower, which is the south gate of the city of Audis and the highest defense gate. Most of the imperial guards in Audis are stationed here.
The iron-clad imperial guards gave many nobles who came here a lot of security. In fact, since King Sharlot ascended the throne, he had to invest a large amount of money in the imperial guards in the royal city every year, which made many of the nobles of Sharlot unresolved and opposed it.
But now it seems that His Majesty the King is really foresighted. The reason why the Lion Legion surrounded Audis City two months ago and could not capture it for a long time was because of this well-equipped imperial guard.
Sharlot does not produce ore in specialty, and what they rely on is grain, crystal cores and magic props.
The vast Peters-led plains and surrounding hilly areas make the environment here suitable for growing wheat and terraces. Every year, half of the grain in Sharlot is used for self-sufficient and storage, and the other half is sold to neighboring countries. This is also the main reason why Fostertan took action against Sharlot five years ago.
Neither the Foster in the West, the Likiah Union in the South, or the Karaman Kingdom in the Northeast, were large-scale production countries. Sometimes when the Ciallo crops were harvested, the shrewd nobles and merchants would sell their food far away to the suzerain state of the northwest, the Omore Empire, in exchange for more precious items.
In addition, it is the possession of the Mofi Forest, a treasure house. The land area of Sharlot is one-quarter less than that of Fostertan. The reason is that the huge Mofi Forest occupies a total area of Sharlot.
In name, the Mofi Forest also belongs to the territory of Sharlot, but this place where people are rarely visited and monsters are rampant, the places where Sharlot can explore it have not reached the center of the Mofi Forest. It is said that this is a forest with ranks of monsters.
Level monsters, corresponding to human levels, are formal knights and formal magicians. Generally speaking, level monsters will be more powerful than humans of the same level, because in addition to their strong bodies, they also have outstanding magic abilities.
However, it is precisely because of this magic treasure house that Sharlo attracted magicians from many places around to live. The crystal nuclei, blood, bones and other items produced by the Mofi Forest every year make those little-known magicians gather here and go crazy about it.
Nowadays, most of the Imperial Guards of Charlotte are heavy armored warriors. These warriors wearing strong armor and holding giant turtles are not good at fighting in the wild and siege wars. What they are good at is defending the city.
On the city wall, beside King Charo, there were nearly two hundred imperial guards standing. Their armor was so strong that after professional evaluation, they could withstand the rolling stone attack of a stone caster. Ordinary arrows shot from the city, and they might not even be able to break the defense.
It is precisely because of such confidence that King Charlotte and the nobles had the courage to step onto the city wall at the critical moment when Fostertan was about to attack the city.
"Where is Master Karida now?" the king asked a servant officer next to him, the king's absolute confidant.
"Master Karida is rushing to make magic crystal shells with Master Maris." The attendant replied.
"Call the master here. Charlotte needs him now. It's enough to have his apprentice, Master Maris, here." The king said in a calm voice.
The attendant first showed a look of surprise. Seeing His Majesty the King was serious, he bowed and asked Master Karida to go.
Karida, this name has no prestige among the people of Sharlot. Many Sharlot people have never even heard of this name, but among the high-level nobles, this name is well-known.
Why can Sharlot have the power of magic among the surrounding countries? Apart from having a Mofi Forest as a treasure house, at least half of the remaining reason is that Sharlot settled a magician named Kareda.
The Forstan army outside the city was mobilizing faster and faster, and the army formation became more and more neat. Many generals standing on the walls of Audis could predict the time when the Forstan army was about to attack.
At this time, an old man wearing a gray robe with silver-white hair and a few strands of hair were walking towards the city wall step by step with a black cane taller than him.
At this moment, whether it was King Charlotte or the other nobles headed by Marquis Philip, they turned around and greeted, "Master!"
Master Karida did not respond to the greetings of the king and the nobles. He slowly walked up to the walls of the city of Audis with a slow pace, but everyone who fell on the wall had a heavy illusion in his heart.
Although this Master Karida did not emit any dangerous aura around him, and even had no energy fluctuations at all, he was just an ordinary old man, but this momentum made every big man who had been in a high position for a long time dare not underestimate him.
Finally walking up the city wall, Master Karida squinted his eyes, with a little coldness in his indifferent eyes, "Is this Foster's army?" The old man finally spoke. The words he said from an old man had a dull sound like a yellow clock, which made many ordinary soldiers standing on the city wall sway.
"Mister and Brunei died at the hands of these soldiers?" Master Carida continued, and in addition to the shocking illusion, there was also a feeling of desolation and sadness in his voice.
Master Karida, the legendary wizard of Sharlo. Why do ordinary people in Sharlo forget the name of this master? Because the actual age of this master is 400 years old. When this legendary wizard just emerged, Sharlo was not many years old.
The age of 400 has exceeded the upper limit of human life, and ordinary magicians at the level of apprenticeship cannot reach this life span.
Yes, Karida magician is the first magician in Charlotte's history to break through the shackles of life and advance to become a formal magician.
This old man advanced to the peak magic apprentice when he was 89 years old. Originally, the magician who was promoted at this age had no hope of reaching a higher level.
But when this legendary magician resolutely left his motherland, the Kingdom of Charo, to study when he was 90 years old, and since then he has no news in Charo and surrounding countries.
Everyone thought that this legendary magician had come to the end of his life or had fallen in another place.
But no one expected that two hundred years later, Master Karida returned to Sharlo again as a formal magician. Since then, he has settled in Sharlo for more than 100 years.
It is precisely this more than 100 years of protection that has caused the country's strength to suddenly increase, especially the power of magic.
Over the past 100 years, Master Karida has successively collected dozens of apprentices under his sect, three of whom have achieved the highest achievements.
They are Mister, who has the title of "Hand of Fire", Brunei, who has the title of "Bite of Winter", and Maris, who has the title of "Yellow White Warlock".
Unfortunately, Mister and Marquis Campbell were killed in Ellis City, and Brunei was killed in Gordon Heights two years ago. Now, the only disciple of the magician Carida is left with Maris, who is not good at fighting but is keen on alchemy.
"Master! We, Sharlot, will definitely make these Forsters pay the price!" The nobles were suppressed by the magician's momentum, and finally, the king of Sharlot stood up and said in an extremely firm voice.
Although this King of Charlero is not a magnificent monarch, he was also very diligent during his reign. In the face of the invasion of the Kingdom of Foster, he fought back with a tough attitude, leaving a good impression on Carida.
The old man did not say anything to the king, but just nodded slightly. Standing at the pinnacle of strength, the worldly power could no longer bind the transcendent strong man.
In the eyes of ordinary people, the existence of the formal magician level is a mysterious and unfathomable representative. With the limited imagination and experience of mortals, they do not know where the formal magician and formal knight level power are powerful.
There are only two such powerful people in Charlotte, one is Master Kareda, and the other is the late ‘God of War’, Marquis Clark.
The Forstan army outside the city was gathering more and more, and the siege of Audis was getting closer and closer. The soldiers with sharp eyes could even see that outside the city, the Forstan army, and other large-scale engineering equipment such as catapults had begun to be loaded, and the war was about to break out.
Master Karida stared at the Forstan army outside the city with a dark face. A stylish storm began to gather at the top of the city of Charlero. If you observe carefully, you will find that the phoenix eyes of the storm were directly above Master Karida.
Not only was the Sharlot nobles on the city tower surprised me, but even the Forstan army outside the city became slightly turbulent. Although many of the Forstan soldiers had seen mysterious magic before, this level of celestial phenomena was really scary.
The war horses screamed strangely, their heads and horse hooves swaying around, showing their uneasiness. Marquis Sandru, the commander of the Eagle Legion Cavalry Corps, kicked his own beloved horse and suppressed its panic.
Marquis Mamen beside him looked at the storm not far away with his eyes, turned his head to Marquis Sandru and said, "That guy may be going to take action! This time, it's up to you."
Marquis Sandru did not speak, but calmly got on the war horse and drew out his long sword. As if he had not received any influence from the surrounding atmosphere and environment, even the war horse under his crotch became quiet.
