Chapter Eighty-two Encounter with the Enemy

  Since you, Luther, want to launch a surprise attack on Peller's Castle, I'll let you know what it means to be caught off guard and what it means to prepare for the enemy's strategy first! This battle will inevitably make you run back and forth, looking over your shoulder!

  There was no wizard in Viscount Luse's army, so he couldn't discover that a wizard's eye was quietly paying attention to the situation of his army in mid-air.

  The entire North didn't have a few mages, and Viscount Lusere, this newly-emerged guy, even more so didn't have such deep foundation. The only supernatural power was his second-level priest Albi, with his level, it was also impossible to know the existence of this mage's eye.

  They marched forward quickly under such surveillance, thinking they were being careful, wanting to play a trick of deceiving heaven and crossing the sea. In their minds, they secretly ridiculed the people in charge at Pillesburg, who didn't even have any military common sense, not sending out scouts to explore the surrounding terrain. It was all for nothing that he had his subordinates wear masks, put hoods on the horses, and wrap rotten cloth around the hooves to conceal signs of their march.

  Sir Luthar was unaware that his supposedly stealthy movements were perfectly visible to the Gourds, and at their current pace, the vanguard cavalry would likely see Pellar's Burg within an hour, and be able to reach its outskirts in two hours.

  Even if the entire battalion rushed to Paillesburg, thanks to his efforts, the infantry also set up inferior horses and donkeys to rush on the road. With all their might, they would only need a day and a half. This time, Viscount Lusere really went all out, he had to pull out the poisonous thorn in his throat.

  It is said that there was also a terrible sorcerer here, but no one has seen him for a very long time. Now the master of Pilersburg is only a low-ranking dog-headed sorcerer.

  When he set out, Luther was still a bit worried that he had used an axe to kill a chicken.

  Through the eyes of a Taoist priest, he saw Viscount Lushe's self-satisfied expression, and Gua Guazi coldly laughed, really not knowing life or death.

  At the moment, through Ice Claw, notify the four warlords and Tudor's leading peak team to hide in an ice cave on the slanting front of Pailos Castle. Be ready to be a sharp knife at any time, stabbing the enemy's vital point.

  During this period, a large number of ice cave gourds were prepared to resist the enemy. A few ice caves had even been connected into a network, allowing soldiers to move quickly underground and fight a "tunnel war".

  Twenty-three Ice Claws lay flat on the ground, scattered in front of Pallet Town, their bodies covered with snow and ice to hide themselves. When necessary, they would jump up, making for a good ambush.

  The shield-striking team manipulated several bed crossbows that had just been forged from the iron shop, and dozens of crossbow bolts were set up on the outer city wall, waiting quietly.

  Kua raised the eyes of the law master and stared at the army brought by Luther.

  This time, Luther brought an army of over 3,000 people, with more than 500 cavalrymen. What surprised Gua most was that behind the troops, Luther was also dragging a huge mechanical device that looked like a catapult.

  "Damn it, you're actually quite well-prepared!" Guagua gritted his teeth and cursed, "Since you've come, I'll let you know what's what. I won't let you get away with a single piece of flesh. Even if I owe you one, I won't back down!"

  Fortunately, we were prepared in advance, otherwise it would be hard to say. The walls of Palletsburg are only three meters high, and even during the Frost Giant's attack, they were just a mere obstacle, completely useless.

  Now the enemy has come with three thousand people, and even brought catapults. The ladders and other equipment are all ready to go. If we don't respond, I'm afraid that as soon as the battle starts, the enemy will have already jumped into the castle and killed their way into the mage tower.

  Fortunately, between the floors of the Law Master's Tower, except for the first floor hall, all other floors cannot be reached by physical means without a transmission array.

  Valley melon suddenly thought, is it possible that Xilang had anticipated this step long ago, so he didn't hesitate to consume his magic power and put different floors in different spatial positions?

  What Valley Melon didn't know was that he had only guessed three-quarters of it, and the remaining truth was that there were indeed no stairs connecting the first and second floors, but they were physically connected. If the hall on the first floor was demolished, the second floor would also collapse, and it couldn't be spared either.

  And the third floor and above will be safe and sound, even if the first and second floors are completely destroyed, it won't affect them in the slightest. In other words, the people below the second floor, including the dog-headed ones, are all dispensable tails that Xilang can discard at any time.

  Soon, Viscount Luther's army stopped one kilometer away from Pailos Castle. The camp was set up in a relaxed manner, looking more standardized than the first human siege, and it was a qualified army.

  It is no wonder that Viscount Lusere was able to gather and train the troops on the newly occupied land in such a short period of time, he is indeed a hero.

  Originally, Viscount Lusere had also hoped to take down Palletsburg without anyone noticing, but under the gaze of the law, all his actions became a joke.

  Soon, Viscount Lutherson's army had set up camp and rested enough to start walking inside. Around Pailos Castle, there were six layers of ice cones forming a deer fence, which made it impossible for the army to speed through, so Viscount Lutherson's soldiers had to carefully cross over the ice cone-made deer fence.

  But now it seems that storming the castle is not Lord Luthor's first choice.

  However, there was a passage between the deer stands, which was where Gua prepared to do battle. Viscount Lushe immediately ordered the cavalry to dismount, and the catapults were installed outside the deer stands, using local materials, with stones loaded onto the catapults and suddenly launched.

  The stone flew through the sky in a beautiful parabola, with a whistling sound and an awe-inspiring momentum, spinning towards the city.

  Kuwa let out a cold laugh, controlling the magical power of the mage tower to add a Featherfall spell to the incoming stone. Suddenly, the stone lost its massive weight and turned into a feather-like object that floated in mid-air.

  Viscount Luthers' army stared blankly at the scene, disbelieving their eyes as the massive stone flew by with boundless momentum. Before they could see where it landed, a chaotic scene of dog-headed people scattered everywhere, but instead saw the stone suddenly float up, drifting gently in the breeze like a feather.

  This is even more unacceptable than a prehistoric dinosaur acting coy! How is this possible?! Such a heavy stone, smashing three palm-sized war instruments, how did it turn into a feather?

  Viscount Lusere's face turned ugly at once, but overall he was still calm.

  It seems that a mage's role in war is still significant, although they can't effectively kill enemies due to their weak physique. However, if used well, they can provide unexpected auxiliary support.
