Chapter 1415 1387. Adulterated magic-blocking gold?
One hand was holding up the three White Rose Knights on the opposite side who had been squeezed to death by the pressure from the front and back. The other hand was able to defend with ease, even a little casually, from the continuous and chaotic attacks from the opponent's back row.
Whether it was the swing of the opponent's long weapon in the back row or the arrows fired from the crossbow on the stairs further back, Lan En used a standard half-hand sword to completely block them.
The 'linear defense' composed of an iron bar turned into a 'surface-like' defense almost like a shield thanks to extraordinary technology.
Amidst the noisy war cries and curses, the sound of flying crossbow arrows was almost inaudible.
But Lan En still flicked the tip of the sword slightly, and the crossbow arrow was knocked away easily without leaving an afterimage in the air that normal human eyes could catch.
"Break the witchcraft! Break the witchcraft!"
The knights who were crowded in the back and shouted angrily but still couldn't move forward continued to push forward and shouted.
"Use the magic-blocking golden arrow! You **** fool! Let the eternal fire take you away!"
But the crossbowman in the rear had a complex expression of shock and anger, even on his own face.
His anxious and fearful perspective shifted back and forth between his crossbow and quiver, and the figure blocking everyone.
"What do you think I used?! It's the magic-blocking gold arrow! It's the magic-blocking gold! But...but he didn't react!"
The narrow staircase could only accommodate three armed knights barely side by side. The angry curses and roars of dozens of knights gathered at this time made the stairwell that was already echoing even more chaotic.
But even so, the disbelieving screams and curses from the knights holding crossbows in the rear still cast a heavy shadow on the hearts of the White Rose knights.
"Profiteer! Liar!"
"These magic-blocking golds are fake!"
Even though they had buried their heads and worked so hard that they had to shout when speaking, the knights still immediately started to curse subconsciously.
There is no doubt that the interference of magic-blocking gold on chaotic energy has been verified by countless warlocks over the past two hundred years.
This naturally blue anti-magic metal was just discovered in Kevir and immediately became a strategic material.
Related ore veins have been discovered one after another, but Keville still accounts for three-quarters of the entire continent's production of anti-magic gold, and it is also an important financial input for the northernmost country on the continent.
There is no doubt about the effectiveness of magic-blocking gold.
And the swordsmanship and strength shown by the enemy in front of him must also be evil witchcraft!
In this case, of course there is something wrong with the magic-blocking gold purchased by the Knights! Either it's a dyed fake, or it's an inferior product that's not pure enough!
Demon-blocking gold is a good business for making a fortune, and metal trade has always been based on weight since ancient times.
When the ore of Demonic Gold is mixed with ordinary metals for smelting, the extra weight of the ordinary metal mixed in is based on the price of Demonic Gold.
This matter is not new, but the White Rose Knights obviously did not expect that the magic-blocking gold purchased by the Knights and the resources of the Eternal Fire Church could be adulterated to such an extent!
The sword of the witchcraft user was hit, and he didn't react at all? !
But while the White Rose Knight was angrily cursing the inferior magic-blocking gold, he looked at the huge figure blocking the entire staircase and remaining motionless despite the impact of several tons.
The deep darkness under the cloak made their hearts tremble, and they couldn't help but have a ridiculous idea -
Is this situation really a problem with Zhenmojin?
Lan En didn't care if it was a matter of blocking the magic gold, he just felt that he could move forward.
All that remains is the faint whisper of fear as life is about to disappear.
At the top of the stairs, on the edge of the section that had not been affected by the collapse, two White Rose Knights, who were holding crossbows and had not rushed forward just behind, stared at this scene in a daze.
But then, they saw the huge cloaked figure that had just glanced down, and the hood of the black figure was raised and looked at them.
They subconsciously ran up immediately.
But before they could turn around, there was a "click" sound of the mechanism snapping together, and the two people seemed to be violently grabbed by something and flew back, leaving behind two dull sounds of falling to the ground.
—
That was not the first staircase that Lan En demolished. In fact, he had already demolished all the stairs in this tower. It was just because too many knights had gathered and they had a head-on confrontation.
Now, there is no way for people to go downstairs smoothly in the entire tower.
Fortunately, this was not a commotion caused by the fire, as described by those who were shouting in random panic in the castle. So the flame does not burn upward step by step.
But again, unfortunately: this is not a fire. What the Knights of the White Rose have to deal with is not a fire that can be contained.
"What is going on?!" Rodolfo Valaris, the current leader of the Knights of the White Rose, was not wearing a normal lining under the plate breastplate, but an obviously temporary pajamas. .
He raised his eyes and asked loudly: "Who are the intruders? How many are there?"
"Eternal Fire, it's been ten minutes! Don't you know anything?"
"It's not a fire!" At the other end of the hall where people were running around, an eternal fire missionary was shouting, "The eternal fire protects us! Fire can't hurt good people!"
He was holding religious books in his hands and wearing a fiery red felt hat on his head, which was very distinctive.
"Knights reunited under the eternal fire! Fight the enemy bravely! The fire will only burn away the uncleanness!"
"We don't know how many there are, Captain!" the knight reported to Rodolfo Valaris, who swallowed nervously, "but there will definitely be no less!"
"I looked down just now. The people we rushed down before did not appear in the atrium of the castle. The levies there are still in a mess."
The knight's pupils were trembling, but he still tried to calm himself down and reported to the leader who was wearing pajamas under the armor.
"None showed up."
He repeated again stutteringly.
So the leader, who was furious just now due to panic, now calmed down.
This is not the calmness produced by good psychological quality, but the "seeming calmness" that almost collapsed after being oppressed by unexpected situations.
He knew very well what this situation meant.
Now there is no White Rose Knight in the tower appearing in the open space in the castle atrium to control the scattered levies, which means that no one got out alive in the ten minutes of this sudden change!
After realizing this, both Captain Rudolph and the few knights around him who had vaguely heard the news swallowed their saliva and turned their heads stiffly in one direction.
—The location of the door to the tower hall.
And as if responding to their gazes.
"Boom!"
A dull and violent explosion! Accompanied by the shaking of the solid wood-clad iron door, there was a sudden sound!
