Chapter 425: Confrontation
Merlin and the others were a remnant of a corpse. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
In front of the team, there were only two wizards and five warriors left, one of whom was a first-level wizard who was carried on a stretcher, and the other wizard apprentice was pale and looked like he was not possessed by his soul.
Lancaster hurriedly questioned the wizard apprentice, and learned from him that the rest of the wizards had been attacked and killed by a team of dark wizards, and that the first-level wizard lying on the stretcher had been attacked by witchcraft, and he didn't know what the specific situation was.
Those warriors were not in any serious trouble, just some skin injuries, and with their strong physique, they miraculously escaped from the pursuit.
Lancaster examined the wizard, and then said to the wizard's apprentice, "Send him back to the academy immediately for examination, he is too badly injured, it depends on his luck." ”
When casting spells, they are eaten by witchcraft, this situation is very serious, and it is possible to lose combat effectiveness at the least, or even become an idiot or die at the worst.
After watching the remnants of the army slowly disappear, Merlin turned to Lancaster and asked, "If they encounter any more dark wizard teams like this, I'm afraid it will be difficult for them to survive." ”
"Wizard Merlin, it depends on their luck. However, "
Lancaster smiled and said: "Normally, even if you meet a dark wizard, people don't necessarily clean up these remnants of the defeated army, just like the dark wizard just now, he is the only one left, and he can't make any waves." ”
Merlin looked at the other wizards with normal expressions and forcibly suppressed the doubts in her heart...... The main person in charge of this mission is Lancaster, and he only needs to carry it out and protect himself at the same time, and other things have nothing to do with him.
If they didn't encounter a dark wizard, their team would just need to patrol the mission site, but now that even the wizards stationed in the house have encountered accidents, at least they have to find out the situation before reporting back to the academy.
After contacting the academy through the arcane imprint, Lancaster continued to move forward with Merlin and the others. However, this time he was much more careful on the road, not only did he arrange some warriors around him as scouts according to the army's methods, but also released his witch pet to fly into the air as 'eyes', so that he could detect the enemy wizard as soon as possible, and then prepare for the battle.
Lancaster's witch pet is a beautiful white owl with bright red eyes.
Merlin also released her own witch pet Celestial Vision Phantom Snake, which roamed the vicinity of Merlin's team, and with its natural ability, it was difficult to escape its perception even if the enemy was hiding in the air and it was difficult to observe. As for the night falcon...... Merlin had left it at Rubik Manor, and it was not appropriate to take it out now, and the Phantom Grouse was still asleep, and the time of its awakening was still unknown.
From time to time, Lancaster pulled out a disc-shaped witchcraft from his bosom, sometimes looking at the point of light on it, sometimes looking up at his surroundings. Merlin glanced at the disc and saw that it was covered with dense red dots, and there was a particularly large green dot in the middle of the disk.
"This is the Witchcraft Probe Disc. ”
When Lancaster noticed Merlene's observation, he pointed to the big green dot and explained to Merlin, "This represents me, and lo and behold, the red dots around you represent you." The other red dots represent life within a 100-meter radius......"
There's something interesting about this stuff.
Merlin blinked and asked, "Lord Lancaster, is this thing for sale?"
Lancaster shook his head, "No, refining this witchcraft requires special materials, so there are very few of them. ”
"What special material?" Merlin was a little curious.
"Some special materials that can detect life...... For example, the Sky Vision Phantom Snake. Lancaster's eyes seemed to contain some kind of information.
'Whoosh'
There was a strange noise from the bushes next to it, and the frightened Celestial Vision Phantom Snake immediately moved away from the unscrupulous old wizard.
"Hmm...... This is a bit of a coincidence. Merlin seemed to be thinking about it very seriously.
Searching all the way, she didn't find the dark wizard team that had hit the wizard stationed there, seeing that the sky was gradually darkening, and the red dots on the witchcraft detection disk were becoming more and more sparse, Lancaster signaled the team to stop moving for the time being, she put away the witchcraft detection disk, and said to Merlin and the others: "We will camp here today, and continue to move forward early tomorrow morning." You need to rest as soon as possible in the evening, and I think there will be a new battle soon tomorrow morning. ”
The wizard apprentices all carry magic packages with various supplies, the main of which are tents.
Of course, the tents were done by the warriors, who were very fast, and when the campfire was fully burning, the tents were all finished.
Don't enjoy the dinner in the field too much, Mei Lin can only follow the group, just bread, barbecue, and drink a big bowl of vegetable soup...... In front of an old man like Lancaster, she feared that she would expose herself too much and arouse suspicion.
After dinner, the wizards went back to their little tents, which were small but felt good, with thick animal skins and blankets on the floor to keep out the cold, and a small table.
As is customary, she recorded the process of today's battle, in fact, she rarely experienced this kind of spellcaster battle similar to the battle between two armies. In her experience, this style of fighting undoubtedly puts herself in the most dangerous situation, and if she is not careful, she will be attacked. But it was a task, an obligation that had to be undertaken, and it was also an experience for her.
Merlin never pinned her safety on others, let alone the warriors who were in charge of guarding, she released Ingram and let her hide outside the tent, first slept beautifully, and only when it was almost dawn did she get up and start meditating, so that her energy seemed fuller...... Breakfast was still good, broth soaked bread, although not very classy, but the taste was good.
After breakfast, the patrol team set off again, led by Lancaster, and he asked Merlin to arrange the Sky Vision Serpent to the front, while his owl witch pet watched the situation below in the air, and the warriors were placed by him on the wings and behind to prevent the dark wizard from sneaking up. At the same time, from time to time, he pulled out the witchcraft probe disk to identify the surrounding creatures, so as to prevent an enemy from lurking and assassinating.
It was almost noon, the warriors acting as scouts spotted a group of dark wizards on the side not far away, and the wizards who got the news quickly prepared for battle. The warriors abandoned their heavy objects and stood in positions that were already familiar and could no longer be familiar, quietly waiting for each other's arrival.
The team also spotted Merlin and the others, but they were in a good position...... A hillside covered by boulders and trees.
All of a sudden, the two sides were in a standoff, both carefully looking for an opportunity to engage in battle.
