Chapter 267 Battle of Faria

"Magician, raise the magic shield! The magic cannon is coming!" An officer shouted loudly over the city. However, his voice was quickly covered by the overwhelming explosion.

"This is not a war. It's obviously asking us to come up and die! The magic shield can't defend against such a tyrannical magic explosion!" A mage complained.

If directly hit by a magic cannonball, the magic shield will be directly penetrated. The greatest use of the shields released by these magicians is only similar to modern steel helmets, which can reduce the damage caused by the explosion to the surrounding soldiers.

However, the golden magicians are used as large shields, which is obviously not a cost-effective deal. Although the Principality of Faria is rich in magicians, it can't withstand such consumption.

Now the remaining 8,000 mages have complained that they want to stop such a death, but they have been rejected by the king of the Duchy of Faria.

The more than 200,000 troops of the Principality of Faria, which are defending the capital of the Principality of Faria, are still able to hold on to this day, which is supported by thousands of mages, so it is impossible for the king to agree to the demands of these mages to strike.

Another round of violent bombing, and the city is already full of corpses. The Gavin cluster of the Principality of Shengjian has besieged here for three days. It only shelled for a while every day, and then rested for a while. It has been repeated like this, but it has never launched a siege.

The collapsed area was covered with gravel and sandbags, reinforced with broken wood, with horizontal and vertical corpses, and the bodies were full of frightened soldiers.

"I heard that the magicians of the Holy Sword Duke never go to the battlefield in person!" An old mage with a dusty face sighed in private.

A mage heard this, smashed the stone in his hand to the ground and complained, "Dat, if I had known that Master Domonk came to me, I would have followed him."

"He also came to me. At that time, if he knew the current situation, he would talk about patriotism, bastard!" Another mage said depressedly.

"The research funds of hundreds of thousands of gold coins every week, the spacious and bright research laboratory, and there are waiters waiting beside me. Why didn't I agree at that time?" The mage who threw the stone said frustratedly.

"Now we can't go even if we want to. We will all die on the wall as shields. Those who are not as good as us can wear gold and silver, because of such a great invention as the magic cannon will last forever." The first old mage to speak said unwillingly.

"Billy! Doesn't your son serve in the army? Can you let us go secretly?" A mage whispered to the old magician beside him.

"I talked to him, and he said that if there are more people, it will be safer to go together, and after joining the Duchy of the Holy Sword, we will negotiate more weights." The old magician named Billy whispered, "So I didn't dare to go alone. I'm afraid that the Duke of Sword won't want me to be such a bad old man."

"I would like to go with you, and Tors, Barr and Root. As long as there is a way to live, I think most of the mages are willing to go." The talking mage looked left and right for fear of being found ordinary.

After just one day, these hopeless mages were united by this proposal and followed 300 Faria soldiers led by the son of Old Mage Billy overnight to escape from the capital of Faria and surrender to the southern cluster of the Principality of the Holy Sword led by Gavin.

This is the first time since the war that elite Faria soldiers and even Faria magicians have surrendered. Gavin was very friendly to ensure the safety of the surrendered soldiers.

Soon, at the behest of Acardo, nearly 500 surrendered mages were sent to Romem Island, where they joined the 85 Institute for consideration of confidentiality and security. They were mainly involved in the research of civil magic and technology.

Only the research of the civilian magic array surprised the surrendering mages, and then devoted themselves to various inventions and creations.

The current situation in the Principality of Faria is even worse, losing the protection of the remaining magician troops, and the fragile wall defense line is impossible to resist the attack of magic cannons.

The remaining magicians also died on the wall one by one. Soon the outskirts of the capital of the Principality of Faria were occupied by the troops of the Principality of Saint Sword, and the wall, which was no different from the mound, could not be preserved.

The king of the Principality of Faria, who knew that he had no chance of winning, was just waiting for 100,000 reinforcements from the Principality of Antarctica. He fantasized about relying on the reinforcements of the Antarctic Principality to repel the attack of the Holy Sword.

However, what he waited for was a result that made him cry. The messenger who delivered the message was deliberately put into the city by Gavin, informing him that the aid of King Faria's Antarctic Principality could not come.

Originally, in the Principality of Faria, 100,000 troops of the Duchy of Antarctica were defeated by the central cluster of the Duchy of Saint Sword under the command of 150,000 McVlon and retreated back to the Principality of Antarctica. The attempt to rescue Faria was declared bankrupt.

The situation was becoming more and more critical, but the king of the Duchy of Faria came up with a "wonderful plan". He ordered the troops to shrink their defenses, hid in various houses in the city, taking the whole city's civilians as hostage, hoping to fight the streets with the soldiers of the Principality to the end.

Gavin commanded his troops to narrow the encirclement, gradually advanced, shouted to the city, and encouraged the soldiers to surrender or rebel, but was not in a hurry to fight, which completely failed the attempt of King Faria's street battle.

With the progress of the war, the capital of the Principality of Faria, which was already unprepared, had a food shortage. In the face of the steady army of the Principality of the Holy Sword, the counterattack and sneak attack did not achieve good results.

He was not in a hurry to swallow the rival Gavin's troops, and even divided troops to clean up some ports and villages along the coast, stabilized the rear, and eliminated the remnants of Faria scattered everywhere.

The hopeless Faria army finally gave up its dying struggle and began to surrender to the army of the Duchy of the Holy Sword in batches. Most of the army took civilians, and the whole district surrendered to the Duchy of Shengjian.

The last 130,000 surviving Faria army, leaving only more than 10,000 people huddled in the neighborhood near the palace and resisted stubbornly.

This time, Gavin was not polite. 300 magic cannons flattened the palace with only three lances, so that the defenders did not even have the courage to surrender. 3,000 elite elf infantry swept the remaining defeated soldiers and ended the battle in just 23 minutes.

Subsequently, 5,000 soldiers were left to maintain local security, and 30,000 troops were stationed to watch more than 100,000 Faria prisoners. Gavin took the main force all the way to the eastern border of Faria. The 33-day Battle of Faria ended successfully. Although it did not sweep the speed of the Principality of Bello, it steadily preserved Faria. Civilians throughout the country paved the way for the subsequent occupation.

At the end of September, the whole territory of the Duchy of Faria fell.
