The city walls were built from blackstone, exceptionally hard, with a metal gate beneath them.
The rear section was normal stone brick and wood construction, with mages brought in to reinforce it.
It wasn't that blackstone was difficult to work with, but rather that they couldn't afford it.
Viewed from the sky, the overall shape resembled a castle from the Western Middle Ages, just a larger version. (Note: The city walls are a hundred meters high; Demacia's walls are even higher.)
Besides the outermost high walls, there were many rooms inside.
Behind the castle was the residential area for the Kingdom Citizens, with the tallest building being where the Three Kings resided.
It was to resist Noxus that these kings had grudgingly gathered together, forming the Three Kingdoms Alliance.
As if sensing Darius's displeasure, the mages hurried to speed up their movements.
"Who's there!"
"The magic turret area is off-limits to ordinary people!"
Carrol acted as if he hadn't heard, continuing to walk forward.
Just as the five defenders were about to make a move, he stopped.
Carrol stared dazedly at the Magic Turret Base, a product of magic and alchemy.
The base was placed inside a room built of blackstone, with a Crystal Sphere exposed on the outside.
Patterns that lit up intermittently on the outer shell indicated it was charging.
Both the design and the patterns were knowledge Carrol had never encountered before; it was a pity he had to destroy this masterpiece.
"Ah~ If only I could pilot a magic turret too, then I definitely, I definitely..."
The defenders exchanged speechless glances; it seemed he was crazy.
One person said to the person behind Carrol, "Hey! You guys, hurry up and take him away. If the overseers see this, who knows what might happen."
Although he was crazy, he was still their comrade.
He could turn a blind eye, but it would be terrible if those nobles found out.
Hearing the defenders' advice, the soldiers behind Carrol, their eyes bloodshot, stepped forward.
However, they didn't stop Carrol. To the defenders' bewildered eyes, they hugged him.
"Hey? What are you doing, brother?"
"Stop touching my buttocks!"
"It's not even dark yet, this isn't good."
Carrol ignored the defenders' thoughts and pretended to wipe tears from the corner of his mouth.
If this Magic Turret could be moved, how much money could it fetch? Slurp.
"Thank you for the reminder, and then..."
"Goodbye!"
As soon as the words fell, Carrol turned into a pool of Blood Water and left through a crevice in the room.
The soldiers he controlled began to swell, their bodies growing larger and larger.
"Boom!"
One of the Magic Turrets that had been so effective on the battlefield went silent.
Most of the blood Carrol had collected on the battlefield was used for this explosion. He was quite satisfied with its effect.
"War Merit, War Merit, here I come."
Seeing that a mage had already destroyed a Magic Turret, Lightning Mage Yuchizona became anxious.
His magic poured out, and the Dark Clouds floating on the battlefield reduced the buffer time.
But the Magic Turret below, which he had been bombarding for a long time, remained intact.
The turret was designed to account for attacks on its Crystal Ball, and the best way to destroy it was still from the base.
Yuchizona knew this, but didn't the other two mages agree to cooperate with him precisely for the War Merit from the Magic Turret?
He had no choice but to grit his teeth and bombard it again and again.
Meanwhile, the mages from the Underground Team had successfully entered the inside of the city wall. Apart from castles made of Demacian Nullstone, there were basically no city walls that could stop mages from entering or exiting.
"Alright, now it's up to each of us!"
"Naturally."
"I hope the one on top can hold out a little longer."
They were naturally referring to Chen Yi. If all those Wasp Birds returned, it would be very troublesome.
After dozens of mages entered the city wall, they began to fight independently.
They had their own pride and, at the same time, hoped to obtain more War Merit.
Many lone soldiers quietly disappeared around the corners, and even the General's orders were not conveyed for a while.
However, the mages' carefree time didn't last long.
When Carrol killed a Royal General, the area behind the city wall immediately erupted!
"Ptooey!"
"Ptooey! Ptooey!"
Carrol spat continuously, as if trying to spit out the blood he had just drunk.
He had originally thought that any Royal General would be strong, or perhaps their proud Royal Bloodline had something extraordinary about it.
After calculating for so long, he found that only the guards were strong.
But the result was still good.
After killing the so-called Royal General, he eagerly extracted the blood from his body and took a big, satisfying gulp.
"Blech!"
Carrol almost gagged.
Not only did the blood contain no power, but its taste was extremely awful, the trash of trash.
It was the kind of thing Carrol wouldn't drink even at his lowest point.
"Trash like this, and you have dozens of guards? Even Magic Turrets aren't as good at hiding as you are. What kind of general are you? You even say 'Royal honor comes with me,' I spit on you!"
Carrol grumbled as he searched for his next target.
He was completely unaware of how much trouble his actions were causing the other mages.
It didn't matter if one Magic Turret was destroyed.
If a royal died within the city, the problem would be extremely serious.
The Three Kings, upon receiving the news, were simultaneously enraged.
"How dare these commoners!"
"Perhaps it was the slaves who did it."
"I said long ago that slaves cannot be trusted."
Their first reaction was that the commoners were provoking the royal authority, completely disregarding the fact that their army was currently fighting the soldiers of Noxus.
They issued a mandatory order, demanding that the generals on the city wall bring the criminal's head back to the Throne.
The generals reluctantly withdrew some of their soldiers. Just as they were pulled back from the battlefield, they had to pay the price for the kings' actions.
The Noxian front line had already reached 500 meters before the city wall, and the breakthrough was unusually easy.
This was an absurd act that the Noxians couldn't understand, an act that the Demacians felt was not unacceptable, an act that the old stubborn Ionian people adhered to, an act that... kings would defend their power to the death.
They would never allow anyone who provoked royal authority to live.
"Boom!"
Another Magic Turret collapsed.
Several Mages watched this scene with unwillingness. How many War Merits would they lose by being a step slower? Their latest experiments were still waiting for funds to arrive.
"Here!"
"Quick, quick, quick!"
"It's a Noxian Mage!"
A large number of Soldiers surrounded them.
The Mages were surprised. Were these guys so quick to react?
This kind of situation happened multiple times behind the City Wall. Once these Mages came out from the Anbu into the open, their threat was reduced by more than half. Facing some powerful Soldiers, they might not even be able to win a 1v1.
Under the encirclement of a large number of Soldiers, many Mages couldn't even escape.
At this moment, fireballs began to fall from the sky again.
As the fireballs continued to fall, individual buildings began to burn.
A single Wasp Bird was trash, but a quantitative change could lead to a qualitative change.
The flight speed of the Fire Dragon could not exceed the speed of sound, which made the threat of the Wasp Birds increase dramatically.
Even though Chen Yi repeatedly used Repelling Fire Ring to Create Distance, after dealing with these Strange Birds, Chen Yi and the Fire Dragon were in a very poor state.
He was now just throwing fireballs to get some assists.
"It's on fire!"
"Quick, someone come and put out the fire!"
"Stop shouting. I don't know if the fire will be put out, but if we can't catch these Mages, we'll all die."
This sentence made many Soldiers fall silent, and no one mentioned putting out the fire anymore.
