This power is absolutely unstoppable by Fort Solomon!
Unless a high-ranking wizard is stationed there, and it can't be an ordinary high-ranking wizard, but a senior high-ranking wizard who has been stationed there for many years and has accumulated enough experience to handle the situation.
Five thousand knights...
Looking across the entire empire, only the Royal Knights can reach this level!
Throughout the entire empire, including nobles of all ranks, there is only this one knightly order!
However, it's not that difficult. If they poured all their wealth into it, they could raise such a knightly order in a short time. But this is an army, not a puppet. Once it's assembled, that's it.
Even alchemical puppets need constant maintenance, let alone humans.
Secondly, its main function is not particularly significant. Five thousand knights can actually be stopped by three high-ranking knights working together, repelled by five high-ranking knights, and annihilated by ten high-ranking knights!
In this extraordinary world, individual power is the ultimate answer!
Unfortunately, Solomon Fortress currently only has Gaia as a high-ranking knight. In the short term, the most resources they can produce is Caesar. Although Barry is also a peak-ranking knight, even if he obtains the smelting method and the corresponding resources, it will still take him some time to break through.
Cheryl is even more so; the path of an arcanist is very steady, there's no such thing as a sudden burst of power, one can only take it one step at a time.
Therefore, given the lack of high-end combat power, we can only hope that these few spellcasters can solve the problem through magic, such as reversing the demonization state of the black orcs...
“This isn’t my area of expertise, but I can look it up. The association has a lot of information on demonization, and I’m not quite sure what kind of magic they’re using.” Cheryl didn’t give any guarantees, and she didn’t even have much hope for herself.
After all, her major was not relevant to her studies; her main research area was physical alchemy, and she had limited knowledge of biology.
However, she still looked at Isaac. If he knew the corresponding spell, he might be able to help. After all, she was a great wizard, and her foundation was there.
Isaac nodded, understanding his older sister's meaning, and said, "The animal hide book contains the corresponding spells and counterspells. The specific effects still need to be tested. However, the animal hide book itself has a problem, so you can't look at it. I'll copy down the spells inside for you later."
After saying that, Isaac paused for a moment, and then said, "We still have quite a few black orcs left. I don't think we should waste them. We can use them to do some experiments. I will carry out the demonization. It just so happens that I am also a little interested in demons. This is a way to learn about them in advance."
Upon hearing this, Gaia frowned slightly, somewhat displeased with Isaac's idea of contacting the demons. However, he also knew that Isaac wouldn't listen to him, and that contact with the demons was indeed unavoidable in order to resolve the current crisis at the fortress.
So he just frowned, said nothing, and had no right to say anything.
After Isaac finished speaking, everyone's eyes turned to the Snake Princess, with Isaac and Cheryl showing the most anticipation.
Although they are all spellcasters, the one most likely to solve this problem is actually the Snake Princess!
Because she is a witch, and witches' powers are the most unreasonable!
Whether it's a legendary wizard or a wizard of truth, casting spells requires following certain rules, but witches don't!
Humans are born extraordinary!
Chapter 49 All personnel prepare for battle!
Among the three main types of spellcasters, witches are the most special, not only because they are said to be the origin of wizards, but also because they are the only type of spellcasters who can do so without relying on knowledge.
They only need to develop the power within their own bloodline, and this power has incredibly high potential!
At the very least, it can guarantee a high level!
Therefore, compared to Isaac and Cheryl, who still need to rely on knowledge to solve problems, Barbara is the most likely to obtain a solution directly from her own bloodline!
The power of witches is truly wondrous!
However, faced with the expectant looks from Isaac and Cheryl, Barbara nodded and then shook her head before answering everyone's questions.
It turns out that her magic can indeed summon basilisks that target demonized black orcs, but these special basilisks are few in number, and she can only summon a maximum of three, large, medium, and small ones, which is far from widespread.
Upon hearing this, everyone sighed in unison.
The opposing side will likely have 5,000 demonized black orcs; the three-headed hydra monsters won't be of much use.
However, after hearing Barbara's explanation, Isaac's eyes lit up, and he had an idea. He asked, "Excuse me, can I have the basilisk corpse you summoned?"
Yes, Isaac thought of his flesh-transformation magic.
It's okay if Barbara can only summon a few snake monsters; she can create many!
Even if you need more resources, it doesn't matter. With unlimited magic, there's enough for any demand!
"Hiss!!!"
However, before Barbara could say anything after Isaac said this, her magical pet, the green snake, couldn't sit still any longer. It immediately stood up from her shoulder, its cold snake eyes fixed on Isaac, its tongue flicking slightly.
"Tear!"
As the green snake glared at Isaac, the demonic claw Hamon sensed its hostility and immediately emerged from the back of Isaac's neck, revealing a blood-red demonic eye radiating infinite charm in its palm, staring at the green snake without showing any weakness!
At the same time, it didn't forget to gently tap the dazed mouse with its little finger.
The mouse was stunned for a moment, looking at the green snake, then at Harmon, and then at Isaac. Its developing brain couldn't process so much information at once. It couldn't understand why things had suddenly turned out this way when they were having a normal conversation.
Although it couldn't understand it, it knew that when faced with a problem, it should just blindly listen to Claw Boss!
After a moment of stunned silence, the mouse arched its plump body slightly and immediately bared its teeth at the green snake!
"Raven! Come back!"
"Harmon! Come back!" Isaac called back to Harmon, and at the same time raised his hand to rub the mouse's head, so that it would stop baring its teeth and return to its dazed state.
"I'm sorry, Master Isaac, this is difficult. They are all my children. Please don't say such things again." Although Barbara's tone still carried some respect, it was clear that she was getting impatient.
However, this is normal. If she really views the snake monster she summoned in this way, then this statement is indeed very offensive.
Isaac returned the smile apologetically, then fell silent and looked at his father, Gaia.
"In that case, the targeted research on the demonization of the black orcs will be entrusted to the three of you. Just tell Cheryl what resources you need, and she will do her best to provide them."
Cheryl nodded. Although the situation was special and many things needed to be given the green light, it was also necessary to prevent people from abusing their power for personal gain. Therefore, a knowledgeable person was needed to manage the approval of supplies.
Of course, it was actually Barbara who was stuck.
Everyone knew this, but there was nothing they could do. After all, she was the only outsider among the three spellcasters.
"Caesar, in this urgent situation, let's abandon that path and focus on breaking through to the High Knight level first." Gaia sighed after saying this. Now, he had not only let down his youngest son, but also his eldest son…
In the end, he didn't even manage to take good care of one of his sons...
However, compared to Gaia's depressed mood, Caesar was much calmer and did not show much emotion.
Because he was well aware of the current situation, rather than continuing to pursue potential and holding back to accumulate powerful authority, it was better to break through as quickly as possible now. Even the weakest high knight was still a high knight!
They are worlds apart from ordinary people!
You should know that long ago, high knights, like high wizards, were also called demigods!
Although the term "High Knight" no longer exists, it doesn't mean that its power has weakened. On the contrary, the system is now more mature, and High Knights of the same level are stronger than before.
"Barry, I will give you the Black Serpent Forging Method and the Black Serpent Blood Essence first. Now, put aside everything you are doing and devote yourself entirely to cultivation. It would be best if you could break through before the Black Orc army arrives, but it doesn't matter if you can't. Becoming stronger is always a good thing!"
"Yes! Thank you for your generosity, Lord Gaia! Barry Edward swears to serve the Solomon family to the death!" Barry knelt on one knee, his right hand on his heart, and said in a deep voice.
Remington, standing to the side, had a complicated expression. He knew that if he hadn't done those things, all of this would have been his...
However, there's no going back in this world; once you've done something, you have to bear the consequences.
He admitted defeat.
Caesar and the others, who were glancing at Remington out of the corner of their eyes, couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. It seemed that after withdrawing from the succession battle, Remington had truly come to terms with many things and should no longer be so stubborn.
However, while there is some relief, all surveillance of Remington will not be suspended until everything settles down.
"I will contact other high knights, but don't get your hopes up too high. We're not the only ones in the Empire that border the wilderness!"
Everyone nodded in agreement; this was the most troublesome part of the crisis!
The strange change has occurred among all the black orcs in the wilderness!
Instead of the black orcs in their direction, the entire empire will be in operation, and may not be able to attend to this area.
Ultimately, we have to save ourselves!
Of course, if they can defend it on their own, there will be many benefits. For example, there will be no more surprises in Solomon being promoted to Earl, and there may even be some new territories allocated to him. The four barons will also accumulate a lot of merits, which can not only be exchanged for rewards from the Empire, but will also bring them closer to the rank of Viscount!
Therefore, despite the difficulties, everyone was filled with the passion to fight!
……
"Ha~"
After returning to the laboratory from the council chamber, Isaac yawned and walked to his desk. He copied down all the spells recorded in the animal skin book, making three copies in total. He gave two copies to Cheryl and Barbara, and kept one for his daily research.
As for the animal hide book...
Along with the magic book of the Lord of Billions of Flesh and Blood, seal it away and throw it into a dimensional space. Anyway, he will never use it, nor will he let anyone else use it.
After casting the spell on Cheryl and Barbara, Isaac collapsed onto the bed and fell asleep.
The deal with the God of the Black Orcs seemed easy and risk-free, but in reality, Isaac expended a lot of mental energy during the transaction. The reason he was able to persevere until now was mainly because his body had been tempered by magic. Although it was not as good as a knight's physical body, it was not bad either, and his stamina was decent.
Title:
Tokyo: You're only 18, and you want to mend our broken relationship?
Summary:
Reborn in Tokyo, how did I get so many ex-girlfriends at only sixteen?
Arima Yuuhara, the illegitimate son of a chaebol and a high school freshman, decided to live a life of leisure and idleness through his own hard work and effort, until a romance system suddenly appeared.
At forty, you're betrayed by your ex-wife, your marriage is over, you're heavily in debt, and your career is a complete mess. Just as you're about to perform a leap of faith from a high-rise building, your childhood sweetheart appears and saves you. You initially think it's just a coincidence, but you discover it's not that simple...
[Task: Inquire about (ex-girlfriend/childhood friend) Shimizu Mizuki's attitude towards you. Reward: Focus LV1, 10000 yen]
Arima Yuuhara looked at the system panel that had nothing to do with him, then at the beautiful girl in front of him, and took a tentative step with some skepticism.
"Shimizu, do you like me?"
"If you think that just because we're childhood friends, I'll necessarily like you, then you're sorely mistaken. I don't like you that much at all... But if you confess to me ninety-nine times, I'll reluctantly say yes. What can I do? You're so clingy, you idiot..."
I initially thought the system was malfunctioning, but then I discovered that one after another, ex-girlfriends appeared.
A romance novel that skirts the line between romance and fantasy.
Chapter 50 is now the mouse version!
The next day, Isaac stretched comfortably, patted his cheeks to wake himself up, and then quickly sat down at his desk. He first copied down the forbidden knowledge he had obtained from the Black Orc God before he began to study the spells in the animal skin book.
The book of animal hides only contains four spells: three that demonize black orcs and one that removes the demonization of half-orcs.
