Chapter 54: Surprise Attack
"To create an elemental golem, the most important thing is to give the magical element the ability to shape itself. "Garnold waved his staff and created a few ice crystals out of thin air" It is said that the first elemental mage in history was an earth magician, and he created the first puppet just by pinching a clay figure with his hands and injecting magic energy into it, but you and I are not good at earth magic, so our method of making puppets is different from that of earth magic. ”
"Are earth mages particularly good at making golems?"
"Yes, almost all of their tasks are to make puppets. At present, the most powerful earth mage in the entire exiled kingdom is still in Turan, and he is one of the four protectors of Turan......"
"Have you seen that one?"
"Hmph, what's the matter if you've seen it? Anyway, I don't have a good relationship with Ice Mist City, and I don't learn earth magic...... Tsk, I can't get enough of his weird spell that summons meteors...... Hey, you still can't learn elemental puppets, why are you starting to ask others again, isn't one of your masters enough for you to worship?"
"Yes...... It's ......" James' face was full of black lines.
"Cut ......" Janold gave him a blank look, touched his beard with his left hand, and the crystal on the top of the blue staff spun around in the air, and several ice crystals immediately fused together, "Fuse all the elements you can make, and then infuse them with magical energy, and then fuse magical energy with the elements as well - mind, this is very difficult, but it's not as simple as I say, you have to practice it." Earth mages don't need to fuse their will into the elemental golems they create, but we have to, and we have to practice often, creating magical golems can sometimes make some novices who don't have enough magic power faint. ”
Before he could finish speaking, the ice crystals floating in the air fused into a small ice man, which turned his thumb-sized head and struggled in the air for a while, and then was held by Janeod on the grass with one hand.
"You try ......"
"Good ......," James nodded. He squatted down and observed the ice figure standing in place for a while without making a sound, touched his head and said, "Why didn't these Xiaoice people move?"
"Nonsense, I didn't give him a command, why did he move? Generally speaking, except for earth magicians, other elemental golems have one of the biggest limitations, that is, they can't get rid of the creator's instructions. Dirt-based magic golems are different, and a number of representative earth-based magic golems, such as earth golems or steel golems, can have a certain ideology, and although they have no feelings, they can be used as a very loyal and flexible guard. Giarnold snorted, "You don't even have a mastery of getting started now, what do you care about so much." Quick, do what I say, I'll go back to the city and buy some teaching supplies, and you can practice here......"
"Well, if there's anything I don't understand, how can I find you?" said James.
"My good apprentice, you also know your talent as a teacher. Giarnold winked at him, "I'm sure you can do it, don't you? That's right, be confident, I'll go back to shopping first, bye-bye!"
"This ......"
James looked at the back of Giarnold who jumped up and down and looked like an old man at all, and then looked at the Xiaoice man standing stupidly on the ground, and sighed.
He took out his magic wand from the space storage, whispered fire magic, created several small fireballs out of thin air, and then sweated profusely to put several fireballs together according to Garnold's wishes.
"Bang!"
As James and Giarold expected, as soon as the fireballs collided, a violent explosion occurred, almost igniting James's hair. He was blown to the ground with an embarrassed face, and called out twice, greeting the 18th generation of the ancestor of Janod in his heart, rubbing his ass Just after making up his mind to go back to the tent to rest first, he suddenly noticed that there was something strange in the earth.
"What the hell?"
He turned his head to look at the Xiaoice man standing behind him, frowned, and was surprised to find that the little man's body in front of him trembled slightly. He tried to reach out and hold the iceman in his hand, but as soon as his hand touched the iceman's body, the villain immediately fell to the ground. At this time, James suddenly noticed that the earth was trembling, whether it was the villain who fell to the ground in front of him or his own hands, they all trembled slightly with the undulation of the ground.
He felt something strange happen behind him, and James turned his head to see a faint glow of fire on the opposite side of the hill. A small bug-like thing was flying towards him, and he tried to reach out again to grab it, but his hand stopped in mid-air and froze.
"!"
James hurriedly turned around, only to hear a thud behind him, and a flaming arrow stuck in the ground just now, instantly igniting the wooden fence next to it. He wanted to shout for help, but suddenly remembered that the soldiers in the barracks had already been called by Sergeant Damac to the flat ground a few hills away. Arrow after arrow, dense and flaming crude arrows rose into the air, and landed in the middle of the barracks, causing a terrible fire. One of them was about to land on James's forehead, and he subconsciously pulled out his long sword from his waist to block it, and he was able to catch the blow.
"Master, it's not good! Calis, Constance, hurry back to the city first!
Calis' head poked out of the tent.
"What's wrong?"
"What else? It must have been the orcs who made a surprise attack. You and Constance run back to the city first, and tell the guards on the walls to close the door immediately, and Giarnold and I will come at once. ”
"Hmm!"
"James, be careful!" Calis's pupils dilated, and he cried out in horror.
A sharp one-handed axe slashed head-on at James's face, James immediately stretched out his long sword and blocked it in front of him, the orc holding the axe snorted coldly, freed one hand, and swung his left hand towards James's lower body, as if to hammer his knee. As James dodged this trick in the air, he secretly marveled at the fact that the orcs had a similar IQ to that of humans, which was completely different from what he had heard the old people talk about in the village before. In their mouths, the orcs are a group of monsters with only brute strength, and they don't know any skillful combos at all, but the orc in front of James has tried to sneak attack him several times, which is really unbearable.
"James!"
Calis shouted his name as he pulled two short knives from his waist as if to rush forward to clear James. But James didn't mean that, all he wanted was to let these people hurry back to the city first, so James saw Calis rushing forward without hesitation, and almost didn't scare the fatal flaw.
"Not good!"
The orc pulled out his axe, turned around a little awkwardly, and slashed at James's waist, but James flipped his right hand and held the sword in his backhand to protect his right waist. The orc's strength was still beyond his reach, and with his backhand sword and weak wrists, the rough one-handed axe pushed his sword through the thin leather armor of his body, cutting a wound on the outside of his right leg.
"Whoa......," James snorted in pain. Several surging blood marks instantly crossed the outer thighs.
"Stop!"
Calis sprang from behind him and leapt from the ground, two short knives and forks working together to block the orc's next vertical slash. The block didn't last long, and Calis's body fell to his knees because he couldn't withstand the tremendous force. James frowned, gritted his teeth, grabbed his long sword, turned over, and first kicked the orc's leg with a sweep, temporarily stopping it from exerting force, but this move did not cause much trouble to the other party.
"Can't move, Calis, hurry up!"
"I don't ......"
Calis retracted his twin knives and defused the blow backwards, then turned around and plunged the short knife in his left hand into the orc's left shoulder.
"Roar!"
The orc roared in anger and threw out his right hand to slash at Calis, but James stopped him with his sword.
"Die!
James didn't care about the staff that fell to the ground, just stretched out his left hand, slapped his palm forward on the orc's body, and then drank violently, burning inch by inch of flame from his wrist, and a huge fire surged, enveloping the orc in front of him in an instant. Calis glared and jumped backwards, while James fought against the surging fire and blasted the orcs out.
"James ......"
"Go back!" black smoke erupted from James' left hand, and his right hand holding the sword trembled slightly. Outside the low barracks fence in front of them, stood a group of orcs with hideous faces and red eyes, all of them more or less draped in simple animal skins, and the fangs on their faces flashed with cold light, which made people feel creepy.
"Knock! knock!"
The sound of drumming came.
"Quick!Calis, back in town! Where's Constance?"
"No ......"
Calis shook his head, stood beside James, took his blackened left hand, and snorted.
"I'm going to follow you, I'll leave when you go......"
"Don't be childish, go back, Constance and them?"
"She has already returned to the city, and I have not seen your master...... What about Damac, when will they come back?"
James glanced at the hill in the distance and secretly clenched the sword in his right hand. The orcs in front of them had completely destroyed the outer fence, and they were rushing towards James and Calis.
"Fireball!"
James rolled over and picked up his staff from the ground, creating several explosive fireballs as fast as he could, and shooting them towards the orcs closest to him. The effect of the flames was obvious, and the fireballs managed to repel the first group of orcs, but behind the fallen orcs there were still hordes of orc squads that were coming in all directions to encircle their side.
"Let's go first!"
James thrust the handle of his sword into the scabbard, grabbed Calis's arm with one hand, and led her towards the gates.
A second wave of fiery arrows was already coming towards him, and James was very weak from the reaction of his melee magic because he had just used his melee magic. Calis stared at the blood on his thigh, pursed his lips, and pushed him behind him to let him go first, while he stopped behind him, using his short knife to intercept the arrows flying towards the two of them.
"Close the gates!"
The wound on the thigh had just been unnoticed, but now it was painful to run. He shouted at the Kingsbridge guards on the stone walls, who were shocked that the rain of arrows in front of them had not reacted, and they were so yelled at by James that they pushed the gate together.
The two fled from outside the city to the city in embarrassment, and as soon as Calis took James to a slightly safe place, he immediately took out a few small jars and small bags from the space storage stone with tears in his eyes.
"What's going on? can't you just run?" Calis stomped his foot and pouted to drug James.
"Didn't I buy time for you to escape......?
"I want you to buy time...... Calis wiped the corners of his eyes, glanced at him, took out a bottle of potion with a light red liquid, and handed it to James, "Hurry up and drink it, it can not only restore your wounds, but also prevent burns, I personally prepared the ......"
"It's not poisonous!"
Carlis stomped on James. James cried out in pain as he pinched his nose and drank the strange potion.
"Boom!" there was a loud bang, followed by the sound of various hard objects slamming on the door.
"Oh no, it looks like the orcs have already started attacking the gate, I have to get back to the wall, and I can still use magic to help the outermost wall hold up for a while. As soon as James finished speaking, he was about to get up and leave, but Calis wrapped his hands around James and snorted coldly:
"I'm not done with my medicine yet!"
"If you don't finish it, you won't be on it, and it's important to participate in the war. ”
At this moment, several slender shadows flashed in front of James's eyes. Some rough wooden arrows had fallen into the walls, and some of the sharpest arrows had even broken through the bricks and planks on the roofs, breaking off and falling to the ground. Looking back, there were many innocent villagers panicking at this scene, screaming in terror and running around the streets. One of them, a blue-haired man, staggered towards the city gate, and saw a sharp wooden arrow fall in front of him.
"I'll go!
James jerked free of the stunned Calis's arm and threw himself at the man on the street as fast as he could.
"Whoosh!"
The arrow landed next to his ear, and the drunken man in front of him was pressed under him, and he spat a large gulp of wine into James's face, almost making him vomit.
"Eh, Kingsbridge's beauty......" The drunk, who was about his age, lay on the ground, stretched out a hand to hook James's chin, and said with drooling at the corner of his mouth, "Little beauty, why are you lying on me?"
"Your sister's!"
