Chapter 77 The Mission of Sending Death

In the next month, the trolls launched eleven sieges in total, and in several of them, the trolls had even occupied about half of the city walls. In the end, the Magic Guild gathered all the magicians to release group spells to fight these trolls who almost landed in the city.

Xu Yue participated in the battle during this period. The fierce battle and high mental tension made him tense for the past month. Fortunately, he finally suffered no harm with the fifth-level protective magic that was brought by the equipment "Breath of Ice Dragon".

The fierce battle not only allowed Xu Yue's combat experience to grow rapidly, but also made his temperament more calm after being baptized on the tragic battlefield. Now he can give people a sense of oppression on those veterans of war. Although he is still very immature, this means that he is no longer a combat rookie.

Several of the most critical times, Xu Yue rushed up the city wall six times in a row in a row to participate in the battle. The magic shields on him were all used when he rushed up the last time. That time he was really fighting against the bows and arrows and the flying spears. The feeling of passing death at all times made him seem like he would die in the next second.

In this month, Xu Yue was hiding his true strength. He had never released more than sixty fireball techniques in a short period of time. After all, even if the number of spell castings is a very exaggerated time for a first-level mage, if people know that he can release more than three hundred and sixty fireball techniques in one breath, it would be impossible not to attract other people's attention.

Now, because Xu Yue performed very well in the battle, he used his short and fierce fireball technique to solve the crisis situation in some areas of the city wall several times. Therefore, he has a great reputation in both the magicians and the city defense force. When people mention the "human-shaped artillery" Xu Yue, they will show respect and admiration.

I don’t know who won the title of “Human-shaped Artillery” first. Xu Yue felt it was hard to hear when he first heard about it. However, this title was unanimously recognized by all the mage teammates and the city defense force, so even if he wanted to object, he didn’t.

Moreover, because he knew "double casting", after thousands of fireball releases, he compressed the casting time of the fireball to zero. His short-term destructive power rose to a point where even the second-level mages felt dizzy. The city defense force and the top leaders of the Magic Guild simply regarded him as a firefighting team. Whenever the siege encounters the most critical situation, he will rush to the city wall with some third-level mages to rescue.

However, this saves Xu Yue from staying behind the battlefield all day long. After all, with continuous casting and fighting, his mental power has approached the peak of a first-level mage, and he is about to reach the level of a second-level mage. But the trouble is that he relies on medicine twice in a row to improve his mental power, which makes his advancement too fast, and the corresponding knowledge lacks some of it.

So during this period, he has been suppressing his mental power growth. At the same time, he goes to the library of the Magic Guild to desperately learn all kinds of knowledge necessary for advancement. Even sleep is just supported by the "energy recovery potion". Such crazy learning has made him lose weight, but his spirit has become more vigorous and restrained.

Today, after assigning the corresponding courses to learn magic for the little girl Ellie in the hotel, Xu Yue came to the city wall again.

After a month of battle, the number of casualties in the city defense army reached an astonishing number. Many corpses were even placed on the edge of the city wall without time to deal with them. The screams of various wounded people and the sounds of fighting and killing on the city wall filled their ears.

Many places on the city walls have been dyed black and red by blood, and various broken weapons and limbs are scattered on the ground and have no time to clean them up.

The long battle has exhausted the soldiers guarding the city. You can see soldiers with blood everywhere sitting dejectedly under the walls of some buildings. Many people almost fell asleep in such noisy environments. Then, they would wake up again under the urging of the officers and staggered to the city walls. Many people could not get down after rushing up.

Xu Yue frowned when he saw the sad scene. At the same time, he secretly glad that he was a mage who existed as a high-end combat power in this battle. Although he always had to join the battle to put out fires in danger every time, he would not risk his life on the battlefield and fight on the battlefield every day like these soldiers.

"We can't wait for the Kingdom to rescue! We have lost 40% of our soldiers in this month. If we continue to fight like this, even if the trolls don't capture the city wall, we will not have enough soldiers to guard the city wall."

"It's not only us who suffer losses, the trolls who attacked cities have suffered much greater losses than ours! I still think it should be safe..."

When he was near the command site of the city wall, Xu Yue could hear a wave of arguments coming from there. This was not the first time he had heard this argument.

In fact, the first time when Black Rock City was attacked, the city lord of Black Rock City had already passed the situation here to the upper level of the Kingdom of Shia through a dedicated magic circle. Later, when the war was intensified, he even sent a model to the senior management of the Kingdom of Shia to ask for help.

After all, although Black Rock City is a big city with a population of three million, due to geographical and resource constraints, the level of combat professionals here is generally low, and there are only 100,000 permanent troops in the city. Although the number of trolls outside the city is unknown, the number of trolls who have participated in the battle has reached almost 250,000.

With nearly three times the gap in military strength, even if Black Rock City has the advantage of defending the city, the number of trolls themselves and their recovery physiques have eliminated this advantage. Even in the battle, Black Rock City is still at a disadvantage.

However, this time the attack was not just a city in Black Rock City. According to the news from the ranged magic circle, the four major cities in the Kalando province of the Chia Empire were attacked by trolls almost at the same time.

These trolls who usually hide in the depths of the jungle and live a life of a primitive tribe were not sure what crazy this time. Almost all the trolls in the jungle of Kalando Province united, attacking the four cities of crazy attackers. Even the messengers sent by the Kingdom of Shia were cut off their heads without hesitation by these barbaric guys, and obviously they did not want to accept the negotiations.

Among the four cities that were attacked, Black Rock City can only be ranked last in terms of importance. The other cities either produce important mineral resources or cities with particularly developed economic and economic development. When the Kingdom of Shia sent troops, it naturally gave priority to these cities.

The final result was that the two armies sent by the Kingdom of Shia were entrapped by trolls from the other three cities. As a result, no soldier in the most remote Black Rock City could break through the troll's blockade line to support Black Rock City.

These days, there have been two arguments in the senior management of Black Rock City. One is that they think they should stick to their support and insist on waiting for assistance until the kingdom’s support arrives, and then attack inside and outside to eliminate the trolls outside the city.

Another conclusion is that under this situation, Black Rock City can no longer support the arrival of the Kingdom reinforcements. Therefore, it is better to take risks and concentrate troops to attack the opponent's logistics storage area while still having the power of fighting, and directly destroy the opponent's food and logistics supplies. As long as there is no food and weapons, the trolls outside the city can only retreat this way.

As for how to find the troll's logistics supply location, you should know that it is not only the human magicians of the Magic Guild who are obliged to participate in the racial war, but also the human thieves of the Thieves Guild have corresponding obligations. After losing a large number of people in this month, the Thieves Guild has already figured out the troll's logistics supply location.

Now the upper level of Black Rock City is divided into two parties and quarreled continuously, and both sides are quarreling. However, Xu Yue has an indifferent attitude towards this kind of quarrel. Even if the city is broken, he can leave easily. The only troublesome thing is how to send the little girl Ellie out of the city. However, he has made corresponding preparations for this, but it seems that he does not need to make such worst plans for the time being.

When the two guards at the command department saw Xu Yue coming, they immediately lit up their eyes and saluted him and said hello. During this period, the senior management of the Magic Guild and the City Guards have used Xu Yue as a level three combat power. He has been following the only six level three magicians in the Magic Guild.

Originally, the other six third-level mages, such as Xu Yue, joined their third-level mages, had a lot of complaints, but after they had cooperated several times and saw Xu Yue's powerful brief outbreak, they stopped talking. Especially during this period of time when they came in, after Xu Yue repeatedly used the "Ice Dragon Spear" spell attached to the "Ice Dragon Breath" to kill several third-level troll shamans one after another, the attitude of several third-level mages to treat him much better, and it was obvious that they had already regarded him as a professional of the same level as him.

Xu Yue smiled and nodded to the two guards at the door, then walked directly into the command center. Of course, he had no right to attend the meetings that the upper level attended, but as a rare combat power equivalent to a third-level caster, he was also standing in a relatively high-end position in this war. The other six third-level mages had a special room in the command room, and they would come here every day to wait for the upper level to arrange the battle for them that day.

After pushing open the door, I saw that there were three magicians sitting in the room. During the battle together during this period, the few of them had become very familiar with each other.

"Master Elliot, Master Lu Sien, Master Terrixi, three of you. Haven't the others come yet?" Xu Yue greeted the three masters politely.

The three magicians also stood up and bowed: "Hello, Master Xu Yue!"

The mage named Elliot, who looked in his fifties, was slightly bald and said with a smile: "Casey has something to do today, so we can't drag it out for the time being. We'll bring the news to him. Mage Aldridge and Mage Nelson were called in to attend this meeting! I'm afraid I'll wait for a while before I can come out."

After hearing his words, Xu Yue raised his eyebrows and asked, "Hmm? What happened? Isn't it just about them to discuss it, and then tell us the task directly?"

Master Terris, who seemed to be in his thirties, shrugged his shoulders and said, "Who knows what those senior executives are doing? They have been more than four or five days, and they have not yet made any mistakes."

Master Lu Sien, who was relatively silent and cautious, turned the purple staff in his hand and said with some concern: "I have a bad premonition. This incident may have something to do with us. Otherwise, they would not have called Aldridge and Niels in for so long."

Just as the four people were talking, a fierce conversation suddenly came from the command room.

"No! We reject this mortal mission! You are murdering!"

"Master Aldridge, pay attention to your words. This is not a negotiation, but an order!"

"The order to meet your ghost! Only the top leaders of the Magic Guild have the right to give us orders. And even if they are, they can only help us defend the city. This bastard mission has exceeded the scope specified by the Guild, and we have the right to refuse to execute it."

"Master Nelson, don't you persuade Master Aldridge? This is the only way now!"

"No! I also reject this mission. Neither the Magic Guild nor your Black Rock City have the right to give us such a mission. If you have to do this, then we will announce our withdrawal from this battle of defense."

"I think the two should ask other people for their opinions before making a decision, right? After all, although they have always been the leaders, you cannot fully represent the other people's meaning."

The dispute from the conference room surprised the four magicians in the room. They couldn't think of what the senior management of Black Rock City had said. They actually made Master Aldridge, who had always been stable and accurate, get so angry that he didn't give the senior management of Black Rock City any face.

After a series of arguments sounded in the conference room again, the door of the conference room was suddenly dropped open. The wizard Aldridge, who was in his fifties, walked out angrily. After seeing Xu Yue and four others, he said angrily: "Bad news, these bastards in Black Rock City want to use us as cannon fodder. For the specific situation, you can come in and listen to them. These bastards are simply murdering."

Xu Yue and the other three looked at each other in surprise, stood up and followed Master Aldridge to walk towards the conference room. Before they could enter the room, they saw a figure wearing a mage robe walking in from outside the command center's door.

"President Pine! I didn't expect you to come!"

After seeing the visitor, Xu Yue and several other mages all came forward politely and greeted.

The new mage is Pine, the vice president of the Magic Guild. As the commander of the magicians of the Magic Guild, he rarely participates in battles. Only in a few of the most dangerous moments did he take action with Xu Yue and the others. At that time, the flying lightning gave Xu Yue a clear understanding of the strength of this level 4 mage.

Pine politely greeted Xu Yue and others and said, "I heard that something was wrong here, so I rushed over. What's going on?"

After hearing his words, Aldridge said angrily: "Those bastards in Black Rock City dare not fight, so they want to use us as cannon fodder. I can't finish it for a while, so you'd better go in and listen to what those guys said!"

Pine nodded and walked into the conference room with Xu Yue and others. The senior executives of the Black Rock Formation stood up and greeted him politely after seeing Pine. It was obvious that the position of the Magic Guild was still very important in the hearts of these people.

After Pine returned the gifts one by one, she sat at the conference table and said, "I came here after receiving the notification from you. I heard that something was wrong. What was going on?"

Several senior officials of the Black Rock City Army looked at each other and hesitated. Finally, under the pressure of others, a relatively young officer of the City Guard stood up and explained.

"I think you know that we have been arguing about whether to take the initiative to fight or stay in the aid for a long time, but there has been no result."

Pine nodded after hearing this. This question was originally a dilemma, because no matter which method you choose, it was very dangerous. In the end, it was likely to be completely dragged down by the trolls. It is still unknown whether the goal can be achieved and the army will be withdrawn intact after taking the initiative.

"So?" Pine asked as he looked at the officer.

The officer was a little afraid of Pine's eyes. He swallowed and said weakly, "So we discussed and prepared to take a compromise method. See if we could make the third-level mage of the Magic Guild cooperate with a small number of third-level and above warriors to form an elite team and use this elite team to raid and burn the troll's logistics supply points. Then whether we attack the trolls who are panicked in the logistics or stay in the waiting for assistance, we can guarantee the victory of the war."

After hearing his words, Pine's eyes narrowed and two cold lights shot out from his eyes, causing the young officer to shrink his head and dare not say anything else.

Pine knocked on the armrest of the chair with some silence and said, "Everyone, I think you have made a mistake. The magicians of our Magic Guild do have the obligation to defend the city for this race in racial wars, but this obligation is only limited to assisting the military in defending the city. For this task of letting the guild's magicians take the initiative to attack or even almost die, the Magic Guild has no right to impose on the guild's mages, and others will not be able to do it!"

Faced with Pine's tough words, the senior executives of Black Rock City were a little angry, but due to the strength of the Magic Guild, no one dared to say anything.

An old man who looked over fifties and a little thin, with a gray hair and a false smile on his face said with a smile: "Haha, isn't this a solution? Now the safety of millions of people in Black Rock City is counting on several mages of the Magic Guild. If this mission can be completed, millions of people in the entire Black Rock City will be grateful to those."

Aldridge said sarcastically: "Oh? I'm grateful. I'm afraid I can only go to the cemetery to thank us, right? Besides, you want to send us to this kind of death task with a million people. Are you trying to insult our IQ? What's the use of being grateful for someone when he dies? Can you eat it?"

The thin old man was speechless by Aldridge's sarcastic words. He smiled reluctantly and said, "Isn't this all for our own race? At this moment, each of us has the obligation to stand up and fight for our own race, and this mission may not necessarily mean death."

Nelson said with a bit of ridiculous expression beside him, "Earl Weima, at this time you remember to let others fight for their race. What did you do? I remember that you are also a level 5 warrior. As a senior combat profession, you didn't see you rushing up once on the city wall at the most critical moment. Why didn't you fight for your race? Since you said that this battle may not necessarily be a death, then that's it. As long as you participate in this operation, I will participate immediately without saying a word. How about we attack the logistics supply of the trolls together?"

When Earl Wima heard Nelson's words, his face suddenly turned black. He couldn't even hold on to the false smile on his face. He forced his lips to pull the corners of his mouth and said, "How can this be done? I am a commander. My mission is to command soldiers to fight rather than charge."

"That's because you are afraid that charging will make you lose your life!" Mage Aldridge said sarcastically. His words, Aldridge's face became darker. At the same time, several commanders of the city guarding army felt a little embarrassed after seeing the performance of Earl of Wima, and all turned their heads with ugly expressions.

Pine kept watching the dispute between the senior management of Black Rock City and Aldridge and others. After seeing his side silence, he looked at the middle-aged man sitting on the main seat and said, "Okay! Relf, ​​don't you think you should say something?"

Pine's words were silent and the people on both sides were all silent, and they looked at Relf on the master's seat, because everyone knew that as the commander-in-chief of the battle and the only general, Relf was the one who could make the final decision.

Relf is a strong man with a strong face. He not only has the courage and fearlessness of a warrior profession, but also has the calmness and wisdom of a commander.

He did not care about the eyes of the people around him, but sat upright and said simply: "The situation is now at a terrible point. In fact, whether it is to defend or attack, it is actually a dead end for Black Rock City. At present, only the only possible way to live is to organize elite small troops to raid the troll supply points."

His words lifted the spirit of the military's senior management, especially Earl Weimar, who looked at the magicians with a smug smile.

Pine said with a slightly raised mouth and said, "What does this matter to our magicians in the Magic Guild? We just have the obligation to assist in defending the city. If we really can't defend it, as long as our magicians retreat to the Magic Guild, those trolls dare not attack the Magic Guild. Why do we let our magicians risk their lives to perform such a mortal mission?"

Pine was confident in saying this, and no one present thought that what he was saying was wrong. With the power of the Magic Guild in the entire Tarenmiya, even if the trolls really break through Black Rock City, as long as Xu Yue and others retreat to the inside of the Magic Guild in the future, the trolls would never dare to touch them at all.

This is the power that the Magic Guild has exchanged for countless blood for thousands of years. No force dares to violate the majesty of the Magic Guild. This is different from the magicians who killed the Magic Guild on the battlefield. At that time, these magicians were the party involved in the war, and even if they were killed, it was one of the rules of the battlefield. However, once they escaped from this war, the Magic Guild would not allow anyone to be harmed within the guild. This seems very unreasonable, but the Magic Guild has this unreasonable strength.

Relf waved his hand and said, "I don't want to say those quarrels anymore. I don't expect to make a group of third-level mages risk their lives to perform such tasks."

Speaking of this, he glanced at Earl Weima with a proud look next to him. The other party's face turned pale when he was looking at him with cold eyes. He immediately shrank his neck and hugged his neck and hugged his honestly on the chair.

"This time I will give a high enough condition to several third-level mages. If anyone of you is willing to participate in this mission, the reward will definitely satisfy you. This is what we can give this time, you can take a look." After Ralf said that, he handed someone a scroll to Xu Yue and others.

After Xu Yue and others looked at each other unexpectedly, they didn't say anything in the end. Master Aldridge stepped forward and opened the scroll in front of the other six people. The dazzling array of items listed above immediately shattered the eyes of several people.

Suddenly, Xu Yue stared at the item on the scroll and saw a gleam in his eyes.
