A mage's journey begins with a battle mage.

Chapter 137 The Shadow of Mahabray

The endless waves of demons crashed against the mountain fortress, but the fortress remained as solid as a reef in the sea, showing no sign of being shaken.

At least that's the case in the East District, which is under Jiang Shuzhou's jurisdiction.

When the Allied forces took over the fort, they found only collapsed and damaged walls and ruins of buildings.

Now, the city walls of Dongcheng District are as solid as a rock, and the whole area looks like a single, unified whole.

This was made by Jiang Shuzhou using the technique of turning mud into stone.

It's a pity that Rosemary was a bit stingy and refused to give more money, otherwise Jiang Shuzhou could have engraved some more runes.

Even so, it's enough.

As the saying goes, when a door is harder than a wall, the wall becomes a door.

The city walls of Dongcheng District are as solid as a rock, but the situation is quite different in Xicheng District.

The old men of the All Saints Alliance never do things themselves; the city walls of the West District were built by those old farmers.

As for the results?

It's not so much as impregnable as it seems; it's more like it would shatter at the slightest touch.

After all, it was built brick by brick by ordinary people. With such a natural construction method, it is naturally not expected to be very sturdy.

"Your Excellency Rosemary, aren't you going to take charge?"

At this time, only Jiang Shuzhou and Rosemary remained on the city wall, as Joan of Arc had to go to the front lines to fight because the city wall had been breached.

"And you, Master Navis, why don't you go?"

Are you stupid?

I'm not like you weak melee fighters, I can output damage no matter where I stand.

"What you're saying? The Empire and the Alliance have always been on good terms; I was only doing this to protect your safety!"

"After all, beauties like you have always been people who need to be protected."

These words sound like Jiang Shuzhou is protecting Rosemary, but they are actually an ironic remark that Rosemary is a hothouse flower.

They can't help at all, and just spout nonsense here because of their status.

"Really? Well then, thank you for your kindness, but is it free?"

This is saying that Jiang Shuzhou is obsessed with money.

Oh? I didn't expect anyone to pick up on my sarcastic tone?

Ever since Jiang Shuzhou became educated, he has always used sarcasm when he curses people.

"Of course not, but is your financial situation really that tight?"

Meanwhile, Joan of Arc was fighting the devil below.

"Damn it, that pair of scoundrels!"

With Joan of Arc's eyesight, she could naturally see Jiang Shuzhou and the other man. Seeing them chatting happily, Joan of Arc's fist hardened.

"You lackey! How dare you be distracted!"

Seeing that Joan of Arc dared to be distracted while fighting him, a demon grabbed a nearby demon without saying a word and prepared to strike her with a club.

Joan of Arc was naturally unafraid and immediately struck the demon in the chest with her hammer. A large hole suddenly appeared in the demon's chest, clearly indicating that the hammer had directly knocked open its heart.

"A bit brutal."

Looking at Joan of Arc bathed in the abyss of pus, Jiang Shuzhou commented.

Compared to the West District, which required Joan of Arc to personally take charge, the East District made things much easier for Jiang Shuzhou.

"boom!"

At the devil's feet, landmines exploded one after another.

Although the demon's resistance prevented it from dying immediately, these landmines were not intended to directly kill the demon.

Another landmine exploded.

One demon stumbled from the blast, looked around, and its gaze locked onto another demon.

You're the one who tripped me up, aren't you?

Let's get it!

Soon, chaos spread, and the demons seemed to have no intention of stopping it, or rather, they were enjoying it.

All they care about is killing and destruction. As for who they're killing?

It doesn't matter.

Even so, the demon tide showed no sign of stopping, after all, there were just too many demons, even if half of them died along the way, there were still millions.

This is the abyss; it has nothing but plenty of demons.

It's just that there are few people in Mahabray; otherwise, if the Abyss Order had opened more doors, Jiang Shuzhou would probably have had to face tens of millions of demons.

"Quickly, fire!"

"Section Three! Throw incendiary agents!"

"Don't let the demons scale the city walls by piling up corpses!"

Orders were issued in an orderly manner, indicating that Tianhais's command abilities had been significantly honed over the past few days.

Players also participated in the city defense mission, but unlike the Mage Alliance's regular army which only took care of the East District and ignored the West District, the players were completely random.

He would pick up a gun and start firing, even in the West District, as long as he had enough bullets.

Jiang Shuzhou even saw bullets hit Joan of Arc on several occasions.

Easy to beat, brother, easy to beat.

Unfortunately, Joan of Arc was incredibly tough; she withstood several bullets without a scratch.

As time passed, the sky gradually darkened.

The demonic tide showed no signs of abating, seemingly determined to capture the mountain fortress.

At this point, Jiang Shuzhou had no choice but to take action.

Such a long battle is a test of both the soldiers' physical strength and their mental fortitude.

What's more, the opponent is a demon.

Even the slightest mental stress will gradually increase under the influence of the abyss, eventually causing the soldiers to mutate and worsening the situation.

Jiang Shuzhou took out dozens of purification and sedative potions from his storage ring and then threw them high into the air.

Immediately afterwards, an inexplicable force shattered the bottles of these medicines, leaving only the liquid inside.

The art of lovemaking!

As Jiang Shuzhou cast his spell, the medicinal liquid rose into the air.

Soon after, it started to rain.

Or rather, it rained in the Dongcheng District.

The gentle rain soothed the soldiers' restless hearts.

The moment the rain fell on them, everyone felt a sense of peace.

"It's time for me to make my move."

As he spoke, Jiang Shuzhou released a spell.

Fireball, wind blade, grease, and other spells were unleashed by Jiang Shuzhou.

The demons, on the other hand, were in deep trouble.

Jiang Shuzhou's magic spells were all modified by himself.

After the fireball explodes, it will split into countless smaller fireballs and explode again.

The Wind Blade Technique becomes an area-of-effect attack; once it lands, countless tiny wind blades will cover an area of ​​several meters in radius, chopping the demons within into mincemeat.

These spells had a tremendous impact on the battlefield.

The city's defenses, which had been struggling, quickly became much easier, and the demons' attacks were repelled time and time again.

This is the difference between a warrior and a spellcaster. Perhaps warriors have stronger melee capabilities and higher tactical value.

However, mages have high strategic value, as they can turn the tide of battle with just a few spells.

The Mage Alliance's defense became easier, while the Saints Alliance was in a completely different situation.

Although Joan of Arc single-handedly held off the demonic tide for a long time, she was not a mage and could not unleash large-scale spells like Jiang Shuzhou to influence the course of the battle.

The western city walls have been breached, and now the soldiers of the All Saints Alliance are engaged in intense and thrilling close-quarters combat with the demons.

Although Jiang Shuzhou showed no intention of helping, the Imperial troops still stepped in to assist.

"Form ranks!"

"charge!"

General Brutus commanded the cavalry in his army to charge towards the demons surging from the west district.

Fortunately, this is a world of extraordinary beings, and the horses' physical abilities are also exceptional; otherwise, charging through the city would have been pure suicide.

"God, why have you abandoned me!"

The prolonged battle eventually caused problems; some people succumbed to corruption.
