Game of the World Tree - Chapter 898

Chapter 894 Dorolia Prison

The stars appeared and dusk fell.

Tonight in Mannia is destined to be a sleepless night.

Lights lit up in the city, from near to far.

Brighter than the lights were burning torches.

The torches gathered together, like endless fireflies, spreading continuously on the criss-crossing streets and extending into the distance.

They were the angry people and the rebels who entered Mannia.

They waved bright flags in the vast night and kept moving towards the southeast of the city.

At the end of the road, a towering castle stood in the darkness, like a monster in the darkness, overlooking the ancient royal city.

That was the Dorolia Castle, known as the “Immortal Fortress”.

Dorolia means border fortress in the ancient Segus language.

This towering castle with a wall of 20 meters and a tower of 50 meters is the tallest building in the entire Mannia except for the Eternal Cathedral, and it is also the commanding height of the entire Mannia city.

When the Holy Mannia Empire was still a slave city-state alliance, this castle had already stood in Mannia City.

At that time, the Mannia City-State Alliance only had Mannia, a city built by escaped slaves, and Doloria Castle was a military fortress built by the Mannia people to resist their former slave owners.

Later, Karl I, the founding monarch of Holy Mannia who was elected as the Archon, expanded the fortress and used it as his own castle, and changed the city-state republic system to a hereditary monarchy system.

He expanded all the way with Mannia City as the center, and finally created a generation of miraculous achievements of achieving imperial achievements with the body of a slave.

And Doloria Castle has therefore become one of the symbols of imperial authority in the entire Holy Mannia Empire.

Of course, a thousand years have passed.

The times are developing, and magic technology is constantly improving.

Today, many nobles are no longer satisfied with living in old, dark castles, but prefer beautiful manors with magic defense barriers.

The defensive function of Doloria Castle has gradually lost its meaning due to the continuous expansion of the empire, and it is no longer worth resisting foreign enemies.

That is why this impregnable castle gradually changed from a royal territory to a royal prison, where political prisoners who rebelled against the royal family and nobles, as well as pagans who opposed the Eternal Church, were imprisoned.

From then on, the Doloria Castle Prison became a terrifying legendary place for the people of the empire, feared and revered…

It was like a mountain pressing down on the hearts of the people of Manni City, making it hard to breathe; it was also like a devil watching over the entire city, making people shudder at the mere mention of it.

On weekdays, even on the streets near the Doloria Castle Prison, there were few pedestrians, and some were just soldiers patrolling back and forth.

But today, it was different.

Doloria Castle, outside the fortress.

Gun smoke billowed, sometimes covering the sky, sometimes revealing starlight.

On the streets, there were dots of fire, and even in the night, you could see dense crowds illuminated by the flames.

There were fully armed imperial soldiers, mighty mercenary knights, civilians holding high flags, and wanderers with countless patches on their clothes.

People were old and young, male and female, and the only thing they had in common was the golden armband tied to their right arms, which shone brightly under the starlight and torches.

They waved different weapons, shouted the same slogan, and rushed towards the Doloria Castle Prison in the dark…

“Long live life! Take Doloria!”

“Long live life! Take Doloria!”

The shouts were like a tsunami, drowning the darkness.

On the tall tower of Doloria, looking at the crowd like a vast ocean, the noble officers and soldiers guarding the castle were shocked.

“Mr. Warden! The gate of the outer city has been captured by the rioters! The rebels have entered the city and are rushing towards us with the mob!”

The messenger soldier rolled and crawled to the warden who was standing on the tower and looking into the distance, and said in panic.

“Rebels? Where did the rebels come from?”

The warden, who was born aristocrat, was confused.

“Guards! It’s the Guards! They are wearing the standard equipment of the Guards. I’m afraid that the Seventh Guards Corps outside the city has rebelled! Not only that, there seem to be mercenaries!”

The messenger said hurriedly.

After hearing his words, the warden widened his eyes, full of disbelief.

He took a deep breath, picked up the telescope produced in the Elf Forest, and looked far outside the castle.

Under the starlight and fire, when the warden saw the iconic silver armor of the Seventh Guards Corps and the mercenaries and citizens rushing towards him with them, his expression soon changed slightly and he took a breath of cold air. For

a moment, his expression became more serious.

“Everyone listen! Enter the highest alert state! Sir Daniel, please activate the defensive magic! Archers and magic crystal cannon gunners are ready, don’t let these rebels in!”

The warden looked in the direction of the inner city, then looked at the sky, drew out the command sword in his hand, and shouted.

Following his order, the defenders set up the magic crystal cannons with deep muzzles, aiming them at the streets outside the castle and the people pouring in.

The archers also pulled their bowstrings tight, set their arrows, and aimed at the citizens and soldiers who were gradually surrounding the castle.

In the darkness, the castle defenders standing on the towers confronted the rebels who were gradually surrounding the castle.

“People outside, get out of here quickly. If you take another step forward, we will fire cannons and arrows!”

Looking at the growing crowd outside the castle, the warden’s scalp numbed. He suppressed his fear and shouted with the use of amplification magic.

Dorolia Castle is indestructible.

But there are too many people gathering outside the city.

Facing these tens of thousands of rebels, even if the warden is very confident in the castle, he can’t help but be frightened by this exaggerated scene.

Outside the castle, in the dense crowd.

Soon, people separated to both sides, and several professionals dressed as mercenaries stood up.

The leader was none other than “Hound” Tim.

Next to him stood several mysterious men wearing hawk-beak hoods whose faces could not be seen clearly.

Recognizing Tim’s identity, the warden was furious:

“Tim? Do you know what you are doing?! Your current actions are an open enmity against the Empire and the Church!”

However, “Hound” Tim just shook his head gently:

“Lord Eichendorff, don’t say any more meaningless words.”

As he said that, his expression became serious:

“Open the gate of the castle and surrender to us, otherwise we will have to attack… and if we attack by force, we cannot guarantee your safety after the victory of the battle.”

The warden was slightly stunned, and then laughed in anger.

His eyes swept over the people under the tower, most of whom did not even have decent equipment, and snorted coldly:

“A bunch of rabble! Do you think you can attack the Doloria Castle Prison?!”

After speaking, he turned around and ordered the soldiers on the castle:

“Fire! Shoot! Let these mobs know the consequences of rebellion!”

With his order, the sound of cannons rang out, accompanied by a rain of arrows, falling into the crowd outside the castle.

Suddenly, the flames caused by the magic explosion exploded in the crowd, and the rebels at the front fell one after another in the rain of arrows.

Seeing their companions die tragically, the rebels besieging Doloria Castle instantly fell into chaos and began to retreat.

“Tim” looked serious.

While he was chopping down the arrows, he shouted:

“Everyone, find cover! Stay calm! Don’t panic! Stay calm!”

Then, he looked at the mysterious man in the hood beside him:

“Lord Cyber!”

The mysterious man beside him nodded, and then shouted in a certain direction:

“Dong Dong! Prepare to attack the city!”

With a shout, the crowd on the street hundreds of meters away slowly made way, and heavy magic crystal cannons were pushed out by the rebels.

Seeing the heavy magic crystal cannons on the street, the warden’s expression changed slightly, and he exclaimed:

“Elf Magic Crystal Heavy Cannon!”

Elf Magic Crystal Heavy Cannon…

That is a kind of heavy cannon that only the elves in the Elf Forest have, and it was very powerful when attacking the demon army some time ago.

Even in Mannia, the warden of Doloria has heard of it, and has specially looked for picture albums to see the appearance of this legendary heavy cannon.

It is said that in the final battle of the Southern Territory to siege the Demon Fortress, the elves only fired a cannon to blast open the demons’ walls…

However, today, he did not expect that he would meet such a terrifying opponent on the battlefield.

Thinking of the power of the Elf Magic Crystal Heavy Cannon, the warden’s face became paler.

The next moment, the rebels activated the magic inscriptions, and bursts of light gathered on the barrel of the heavy magic crystal cannon. With a deafening roar, the magic crystal cannon spewed out terrifying elemental bombs.

A violent explosion exploded on the wall of Doloria Castle, and the entire castle seemed to be shaking.

The soldiers on the tower were shaking and staggering, and some unlucky ones were directly torn to pieces by the elemental bombs that fell on the wall.

After several roars, a crack appeared on the surface of the solid castle…

“Not good!”

Feeling the trembling of the castle, the warden’s expression changed drastically. He pulled up a messenger who was rolling and crawling, and shouted:

“Is it not ready?! Lord Daniel’s defensive magic is not ready yet?!”

“Prepare… prepare! Lord Daniel was meditating just now, and just freed up his hands…”

The soldier said in panic.

“Meditation?! It’s time to meditate! These legendary wizards with weird personalities!”

The warden cursed.

As soon as he finished cursing, another series of cannon fire came from outside the castle, and the entire castle trembled again.

The warden dodged the cannon fire while raising his command sword and ordered:

“Shoot! Shoot hard! Fire! Fire!”

Inside and outside the castle, both sides fired at the same time and fell into a fierce battle.

One after another, elemental bombs fell into Dorolia Castle, and the castle bloomed like fireworks.

Among the people besieging the castle, explosions continued to be heard. With each roar, a group of rebels were torn to pieces with screams.

Finally, when another elemental bomb hit a section of the Dorolia Castle wall, the 20-meter-high wall finally collapsed.

Seeing this scene, the warden’s face turned pale, and the morale of the rebels was boosted.

“The wall has collapsed! Charge! Charge to the castle! Quick! Take Dorolia now!”

“Hound” Tim raised his sword and shouted.

Following his order, the rebels raised the red flag, shouted, waved their weapons, and set up ladders, rushing towards the smoke-filled Doloria Castle.

Arrows from both sides kept flying, and the shouts were like thunder.

Braving the artillery fire and arrows, the guards, mercenaries, adventurers, and ordinary citizens continued to advance.

They fell in batches, but every time the people in front fell, the people behind would catch up, and once again took over the tattered flags in their hands that had long been covered by arrows and artillery fire, and rushed towards Doloria Castle…

“Long live life! Take Doloria!”

The rebels shouted angrily.

In that shout, it seemed that the endless anger that had been suppressed for a long time erupted, like a erupting volcano.

“Long live life! Take Doloria!”

The shouts came one after another, from teenagers to old people, the roars of men and the loud shouts of women intertwined, converging into a tsunami-like call, and at a certain moment even overwhelmed the continuous fierce artillery fire.

Under the overwhelming shouts, the defenders on Dorolia Castle felt that the castle below them seemed to be shaking.

Finally, after countless sacrifices, the rebels carrying ladders, facing arrows and artillery fire, rushed to the bottom of Dorolia Castle!

“Stop them! Stop them!”

On the castle, the warden waved his command sword, roared with horror on his face.

However, there were too many rebels besieging the castle.

When endless people gathered from all directions, when one after another simple ladders were placed on the broken city wall, the situation on the defenders’ side took a sharp turn for the worse.

However, just when the rebels who rushed to the front finally climbed the city wall and fought with the prison defenders, a light blue beam of light suddenly shot up into the sky… The

faint blue light gradually enveloped the entire Dorolia Castle, and a vast force spread out with the castle as the center.

In the shocking sight of the rebels, the entire Dorolia Castle was emitting a faint glow, and then, those places destroyed by the artillery fire began to slowly recover.

At the same time, the rebels who were climbing the wall suddenly felt pain in their bodies, and light blue flames spontaneously ignited on their bodies.

With a series of screams, they and the ladders turned into ashes in the flames.

Seeing this horrible scene, for a moment, the rebels on the street were silent.

“Legendary solidification spell… [Dorolia Barrier]!”

“Hound” Tim’s pupils shrank suddenly.

Dorolia is known as the immortal fortress, not only because it has taller and stronger walls than ordinary castles.

But because it has a unique solidification magic in the entire Segos world, a legendary magic created and solidified by Emperor Karl, who practiced both magic and martial arts, which combines defense, recovery and attack – [Dorolia Barrier].

Although this solidification magic has disadvantages such as long activation time, small radiation range, and must be controlled by a legendary wizard, once it is activated, Dorolia will be invincible.

On the top of the castle, the warden who witnessed the changes in the castle widened his eyes, and his expression quickly became excited.

He laughed loudly, and that hearty laugh soon turned into a grim smile.

He looked at the rebels outside the city with resentment, raised his sword again, and shouted to the defenders:

“Defense magic activated! Fire! Eliminate these damn rebels!”

However, not long after he gave the order, there was a commotion inside the castle.

The warden frowned slightly and looked behind him in confusion, only to see a soldier with blood all over his head, crawling towards him in panic.

He looked terrified, and faintly, seemed to be a little confused:

“Mr. Warden! It’s bad! The prisoners in the dungeon rioted! They rushed out of the dungeon and broke into the castle!”

“What did you say?!”

The warden was stunned for a moment.

Happy Dragon Boat Festival everyone!
