Pioneer Wizard's Notebook

Chapter 105 The Solar War

A spiritual contract allows both parties to share a power.

With the contract established, what Lind sees now is the rich heritage of Constans' dragon bloodline.

[Dragon's Physique] [Exceptional Endurance] [Mind's Eye Perception] [Dragon's Might] [Immunity to Higher Spells]

[Higher Frost Affinity] [Higher Fire Affinity]...:

A whole series, at least twenty or thirty extraordinary skills.

Furthermore, none of them are useless; any one of them could easily become a powerful extraordinary rider and the core of the system.

This is only the legacy of the flying dragon; the pure bloodline of the true dragon will only be more powerful.

With such amazing abilities, it's no wonder that dragons are often synonymous with power in continental legends.

Linde quickly learned about these talents and feats, discovering that Frostfire Dragons were relatively weak in terms of pure physical strength.

It barely touches upon advanced, transcendent specializations.

On the contrary, there are quite a few advanced specializations in the elemental realm.

Constance is a spellcasting dragon similar to a mage, which made Lind understand why she had been so aggrieved and bullied in the Ice Mist Forest.

Spells are different from melee combat; even with high elemental affinity, it still requires a long period of practice to master.

Constance was abandoned shortly after birth, clearly lacking the conditions for training.

After comparing the strengths and weaknesses, Linde shifted his gaze from the physical enhancement feat to the elemental feats.

Ultimately, he chose [Higher Flame Affinity].

This is the most suitable option at present, and mastering it will quickly improve your strength.

As the rumbling of a heartbeat began.

The radiant crystal in Linde's heart was activated, and his entire body radiated a crimson glow.

[Advanced Flame Affinity] merged into his body, transforming his physique.

It's not just about improving control over flames.

Most importantly, this expertise is fused with the power of the Sun Rider, further enhancing the Rider's original strongest form—the [Sun Stance].

A brand new power was born, and it was named the [Sun Incarnation].

【Sun Avatar】: For a short period of time, the body enters elemental form, revealing the true form of the Sun Knight, becoming immune to physical damage, and greatly increasing the power of fire and sun spells.

This is an elemental incarnation that a knight can only comprehend after reaching the high-level transcendent realm.

Now, thanks to his contract with the Frostfire Dragon, Lind has gained advance control.

Even though it hasn't advanced yet, it can still enter that special state in a short time.

This gave him confidence and made him unafraid of the powerful enemy that was about to attack.

In the distant snow and ice.

The Frost Giant King rides a four-winged winged horse high in the clouds, gazing at the distant, shining sun beacon.

The arriving king did not rush to attack.

Instead, he organized the twenty-odd frost giant soldiers and ancient mammoths behind him, waiting quietly while the surrounding ice field demons made the first attempt to attack.

Thousands of demons and ghosts surged in, densely packed, and from the sky, they covered the land near the manor like a carpet of fungus.

The two leaders faced off, but at that moment, war had already begun!

"Fire! Aim at those enormous demons!"

"Draw your bows and shoot!" shouted Philip, the commander of the archers' battalion.

A dense rain of arrows was unleashed.

Behind the outer wall of the second living area, stone balls were launched by catapults, tracing parabolic arcs in the air before crashing to the ground, scattering countless shattered ice corpses of demons and ghosts.

Arrows and stones were very effective.

Unfortunately, the number of enemies was simply too great; their efforts were insufficient to stop them all.

In the blink of an eye, hundreds of Icefield Demons arrived below the city wall.

"All members of the Shield Guard Battalion, prepare to engage the enemy!"

Behind the battlements, the battalion commander, Jade, holding a shield and spear, shouted.

Behind him were hundreds of young militiamen who had been conscripted and had only recently joined the army.

One of the militia boys, Joel, was trembling, his hands gripping the spear tightly.

He raised his head shakily.

In the distance lay the legion of frost giants, appearing as if from a myth.

As he lowered his head, another wave of ferocious monsters surged forth, like a nightmare.

The scene, which was beyond his comprehension, almost scared him to death.

Joel is a worker from Riverbank, and he vividly remembers the war that took place in the town.

Hundreds of Ice Demons roared as they charged forward, clashing with the lord's guards of River Bend Town.

Even his former lord died on the battlefield.

As a support soldier, Joel narrowly escaped death and survived.

But because of this, we clearly recognize the insurmountable gap between humans and those monsters.

He thought it was the largest battle he had ever seen in his life. God above, the Icefield Demons were far more terrifying than the tax-collecting gangs in the town.

I never imagined that one day I would see such an apocalyptic scene!

Fear nearly shattered the young man's will, and he wanted to drop his weapon and run away.

This is not an isolated case.

Battalion Commander Jad quickly noticed the poor condition of these militiamen.

The veteran and army commander did not reiterate the post-war rewards; he knew that what the militia lacked at that moment was not promises, but the glimmer of hope that represented victory.

Just like when I saw the adult burning sunflowers in the dungeon and beheading the first Ice Demon.

"Second squad of shield-and-spear militia, raise your shields and thrust!"

Judd said calmly, his tone carrying an unquestionable military resolve.

A week of continuous mechanical training almost made these militiamen develop a conditioned reflex.

Upon hearing his command, the three militiamen of the second squad instinctively raised their shields and thrust their spears forward.

At the same time, two ice field demons that were climbing up the rock roared and were about to start a massacre, but they crashed into the shield wall.

The militiamen with shields and spears remained motionless.

On the contrary, the demons were pierced through in an instant, so easily that even the militiamen themselves didn't have time to react.

"Thirteenth Squad, charge forward!"

As soon as an ice field demon peeked out, its head was pierced through by a militiaman's spear and completely shattered.

The militiamen stared at their palms in disbelief.

"Can you feel it? The sunflower bestows its blessing upon the warriors! We resist natural disasters in the name of the sun, and even in death we will be bathed in glory and ascend to the sacred temple of Valhalla!"

Judd opened his arms toward Lind and shouted, then brandished his spear.

The surging air currents crushed the giant demon that had charged up into dust.

Frost Enhancement: The Feast of Wolves envelops the city walls.

The militiamen felt the power surging within them, and encouraged by Judd, they went from being stunned to being overjoyed.

The officer's orders are no longer needed.

They fought off the climbing ice monsters, each in their assigned defensive position, while shouting encouragement.

The fighting continued in every corner of the city walls.

Blood and corpses almost filled the battlements.

The fighting continued into the afternoon.

Even with the aura enhancement effect, the prolonged high-intensity combat still left the militiamen exhausted, with many losing consciousness and collapsing to the ground.

Medical personnel rushed around, urgently escorting the fallen soldiers.

Casualty figures are still being tallied.

The Icefield Demons' offensive has stopped, which is cause for celebration.

The barrier released by the Sun Beacon already greatly weakens these monsters.

The city's garrison soldiers have been strengthened.

With this shift in power, even if the demons and ghosts climbed the city walls, they could hardly pose a threat to the soldiers in formation, relying entirely on sheer numbers to hold out.

After most of the day had passed, the number of demons and monsters outside the city walls had been almost completely depleted, and their threat level had been greatly reduced.

Victory seems to be tilting in the sunflower's favor.

However, neither Linde nor any of the other officials at the manor dared to let their guard down at this moment.

Because the true threat of the ice storm lies outside, where the frost giant legion is lurking!

The ground trembled.

The moment the frost giants scattered and fled, the frost giant legion did not wait any longer.

More than twenty ancient mammoths charged forward!

Even from a distance of a thousand meters, the sheer force of the extraordinary elephant herd trampling the earth was still awe-inspiring, and even the city walls trembled.

"Don't be reckless! We might not even be able to defeat the Frost Giant King right now. If we waste our mana on these Frost Giants, we're definitely doomed!"

Constance panicked at the sight of this momentum and hurriedly tried to dissuade Lind, fearing that he would break the stalemate between the two leaders and start a fight.

"Don't worry, Sunflower Manor can hold out now."

Lind stroked her head and encouraged her.

The Frost Giant King in the distance also looked at him.

The ice storm and the sun beacon, two immense magical forces almost visible to the naked eye, collided and squeezed each other's territory high in the sky.

at the same time.

The battlefield below.

The frost giants, wielding icy spears, charged straight at the city walls with the ancient mammoths beneath them.

"Stop them!"

"Commander William roared."

Behind him, the dwarves fired their ballistae, eight in total, the air filled with the creaking of the crossbow strings.

Incredibly, when the crossbow bolt collided head-on with the ancient mammoth, it only managed to make a shallow cut on the thick, mane-covered surface, without even damaging the bones, before being knocked away.

Human large-scale weaponry is still far too powerless against such extraordinary behemoths.

Despite their failed attack on the approaching elephant herd, the dwarves remained calm.

As they adjusted the winch in preparation for the next round of firing, they looked up with fervent anticipation, like devout believers witnessing a miracle.

Rumble!

The city wall golem came to life before the eyes of the Black-faced Man once again.

Three tall towers rise from the wall, with over 1 meter long, rock-gray cannon barrels at the top, raised forward.

The radiant crystals inside guide the magic.

The long-awaited ballista golems let out a fierce roar.

Sharp! Sharp! Sharp!

The rock spears, weighing several tons, were hurled, tearing the earth apart.

Amidst the surging ice and snow and the shockwave, the three ancient mammoths were pierced through in an instant.

The surging kinetic energy twisted and tore apart the mammoth's body and the frost giant on top, eventually shattering into ice shards amidst the mournful howl of the cold wind.

The power of the ballista golem is not limited to its immense power; after a brief recharge, it fires continuously.

Each shot could cause devastating damage on the battlefield, leaving behind craters like those left by falling meteorites.

In the sky.

The Frost Giant King was the first to make a move.

Seeing his subordinates being mercilessly killed, the four-winged celestial horse beneath him spread its wings.

Ice-blue light spots fell, freezing the icy corridor in the path of the frost giant's charge.

The rock spear roared once more, but when it struck its target, it only passed through a phantom.

It's not simply a matter of light refraction.

The ice crystal corridor briefly distorted space, making the frost giants inside virtually unharmable.

But this is only a slight possibility, not an absolute one!

Lind calmly watched the Frost Giant King and gave commands to the golems on the city walls below.

The three ballista golems immediately changed their form, and their barrels glowed with intense runic light.

Solar splitting rays!

It looked like three giant fiery dragons roaring in the sky, spewing dragon breath.

The crimson flames were breathtaking, sweeping across the city walls for hundreds of meters, steaming the earth and melting the ice crystal corridors and the frost giant legion charging in from within.

"eye!"

Ancient mammoths let out a mournful cry and charged forward with their heads covered.

The Frost Giant King waved his hand downwards.

The blizzard throne behind him expanded, transforming into a cold wind that enveloped the frost giant army.

Beyond the original frost armor of these giants, the protective grace belonging to the throne is gathered.

An ancient mammoth, engulfed in flames and half its body melted, burst through the fire and crashed into the city wall.

厉！

The city wall shook violently, and as it caved inward, countless pieces of rubble and dust broke off and fell down.

"Everyone, protect yourselves! Ordinary soldiers and support personnel, retreat to the inner wall immediately and leave this area!"

William steadied himself and, while gripping the Wolf King Greatsword tightly, shouted to the soldiers lying on the ground around him.

A frost giant, its body charred black, leaped up, its four-meter-tall frame roaring towards the sky.

The Frost Spear clashed with the Wolf King's Greatsword.

"Retreat! Retreat! Get back to the inner wall and defend!"

Battalion Commander Jia De shouted and immediately led the Shield Guard Battalion to retreat.

The battlefield here is beyond their reach; only the extraordinary are qualified to stand here. Mortals who stay for even a second longer will be crushed by the aftershocks.

Shortly after the soldiers withdrew, one ancient mammoth after another broke through the flames and frantically crashed into the city walls.

The wall golem reached its limit and finally gave up on maintaining the outer wall.

Dust billowed into the air.

The moment the outer wall collapsed, the houses in the second living area were washed away, leaving behind ancient mammoth man-made ruins.

"Surround and kill these monsters on the spot!"

Wyn shouted and shot the flaming arrow at the inner wall, piercing the arm of a frost giant.

The outer wall collapsed, but the elephants' charge came to an end.

With an inner wall blocking their path in front and ruins hindering their rear, these frost giants were now trapped like turtles in a jar.

厉！

Just as the knights were raining arrows down on them, the leader of the frost giants hurled a frost spear, burying the inner wall.

Then the giant charged forward, and incredibly, he stepped on the spear and leaped onto the top of the inner wall!

Wyn's flaming sword clashed with the giant's.

Heda and Frostfang Wolves fought on the battlefield, the battle still raging.

In close combat, the ballista golems sank into the ground, while the wall golems extended their rocky arms to help the soldiers bind these giant warriors.

Just as the two armies were locked in fierce combat, a thunderous sound suddenly erupted in the sky.

The frost storm clashed with the sun spear.

The shockwave generated by the clash of the two forces tore through the white curtain, leaving a hole in the clouds.

The radiant magical light made the hearts of the frost giants and soldiers pound wildly.

Then, under the gazing gaze of the manor's soldiers, the enormous ice-blue dragon took flight.

The master here, the Lord of the Sunflower, rode atop a flying dragon's head, wielding a platinum lance, and clashed head-on with the Frost Giant King, a four-winged winged horse.
