Chapter 9: Death Is Coming
"I say, it's weird, isn't it?" said Pete to Captain Anjie, "We were abandoned here, but we were looking for two deserters, and they were waiting for dawn in the carriage, so why don't we run away too!"
Hearing this, An Jie shook the sword in his hand: "We are all soldiers, who will say run away," he cut off the branches beside him, "I will correct him on the spot in accordance with the "Measures for the Management of the Army in Wartime"!"
Pete was not frightened, and argued: "We are both owners of purple robes, with the same military ranks, what right do you have to punish us? In this case, at least..." Before he finished speaking, his eyes widened, and he pointed to the back of An Jie, where An Jie cut off the branches, a figure slowly appeared, wearing a cloak, holding a sickle-like weapon, and his whole body was pitch black, and before An Jie could look back, his head flew up in front of everyone's eyes, and then rolled down at Benjamie's feet!
"Death is coming!" The remaining 5 people were frightened, and some of them peed their pants on the spot, only to see An Jie's body fall down, but the figure of the Grim Reaper was gone. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
"We're going back to the big army!" Pete ran away, but tripped over a branch, and when he looked back, he saw that Benjamie, who had been frightened, was still sitting there, without saying a word, and Ford went to pull Benjamie, but found that he had fallen down like this, and when he touched his chest, it was all blood, and he had already died.
"Mommy save me!" Ford and the others began to shout, stumbling and running, only to run a few steps, but they were stunned by the sight before them: they saw a bunch of figures standing in front of them, but they didn't look like people.
"We're magicians, don't be afraid!" Zod desperately calmed down and used fire magic on the trees next to him, and the trees burned, which could be regarded as a distress signal.
In the firelight, Ford and the others didn't see the terrifying figure in front of them, they quieted down, looked at the two classmates who died inexplicably, and couldn't help but panic again. "I hope the army can see the fire!" Zod told everyone who could use fire magic, counting only three people equipped with fire magic.
"We drew a ring of fire around ourselves, so that no beast dared to enter it. Zod's proposal quickly turned into a tragedy, the ring of fire could keep the beast outside, and it would also be equivalent to confineding the four inside. In the firelight, everyone saw a terrible figure in the woods again, Pete cried out, and used fire magic in the direction of the figure: "Monster, I'll burn you!" But only the trees were ignited, and suddenly the flames grew larger and moved closer to them.
"Bastard, you're going to cause a fire!" Before Zod could finish his words, Pete burned first, he cried out in pain, hugged Ford beside him, and Ford also burned,
"Death, Death is really coming!" Chino hid behind Zod, Zod pulled out his sword, cut off the heads of Pete and Ford, and quickly jumped away, saying in pain: "This will ease their pain..."As soon as the words fell, he felt a sharp and hard object stabbed in his back, and when he looked down, it was a knife that went straight to his heart, Chino cried, his eyes were full of fear and madness: "Death, Death is coming, you kill them, you are Death, I kill Death, I will be saved, hahahaha..."
The fire grew bigger and bigger, and Chino jumped, tumbled, curled up in the fire, became a fireball, and swallowed.
The pouring rain finally extinguished the fire, and a figure searched the corpse a few times, then put the magic crystal into his bag and left quietly.
Watching them go deep into the jungle, Podorik shivered in the carriage. "What the hell!" he scolded, "and this damn place." ”
"Shaozuo, we have a magician here, and it will be fine. Jabbar comforted Shaozo, and seemed to comfort the rest of the people. Shylock snorted, a three- to five-person wizard squad could take on a 10-man polar squad on the front line.
After a while, Shao Zuo was the first to see the fire in the forest in the distance, and said ecstatically: "It must be those soldiers who left in front of them who are cooking, they are back!"
"With all due respect, Shaozuo, the forest ahead may be a fire, and lightning will cut the trees and cause a fire, which is a common occurrence in the forest. Abdul-Jabbar advised, "Let's wait for the six magicians to come back." Shaozo squinted at the adjutant.
Shylock's heart was very anxious at the moment, and he couldn't help but interject: "My lord, that is the direction where the magician team is going, I'm afraid that something will happen, so I'll take someone to take a look!"
"No, maybe it's a forest fire. Shao Zuo rolled his eyes, "The adjutant is right, the young man should calm down. Shao Zuo patted him on the shoulder, and he had to go back to the carriage, and before he knew it, he fell asleep again.
Shylock suddenly heard the neighing of a horse, stepped out of the carriage and looked at it, and was stunned by the sight in front of him: he vaguely saw strange figures around, large and small, some of them looked like people with horns on their heads, and some looked like lions with wings, but the specific faces were not clear.
"What the hell is going on?damn it!Misty Valley, this is really a bad place!" Shao Zuo scolded and drew his sword and hid in the carriage, "Aren't you magicians, come on!"
A magician used fire magic, and the nearby trees burned, but he still couldn't see what those figures were, Shylock felt a chill in his heart, and then an ominous premonition, suddenly, a magician fell down without saying anything, and by the light of the fire, he had the courage to run over to look, only to see that the magician's neck was cut by a sharp object, because the trachea was cut, so the magician didn't even say a word, and just lost his breath.
"Damn, isn't this the same as Robert, killing with one blow!" Shilllock clenched his fists and ordered, "All those who can do fire magic, use them all and burn the surrounding trees, I want to see what kind of monster it is!" and the trees in front of him were ablaze, and the animals in the jungle could be heard screaming and running. However, in the firelight, there were no monsters to be seen.
Seeing that the fire around him was getting bigger and bigger, Shao Zuo shouted frantically: "Oh my God, are you going to burn me! Hurry up and protect me!" 9 magicians leaned back to the carriage and surrounded his carriage in the middle, to be honest, everyone had never encountered the current situation, all those terrible figures just now were gone, and a classmate died under everyone's noses. The horses were so frightened that they ran around, and the magicians quickly grabbed a few horses, and at last only five carriages remained in place.
Because of the heavy rain, the power of the fire magic has been weakened, and flammable materials such as trees are difficult to burn due to moisture. When the heavy rain had extinguished the trees, there was no monster in sight. Just when everyone thought it was okay, there was another fire in the direction of Tux's team, and Shylock couldn't hold back anymore and took his team to the forest without permission.
"Bastard, arrogant magician!" he heard Shao Zuo scolding behind his back, but he was so anxious at the moment that he couldn't care about any military discipline issues, those dead were his classmates who got along day and night!
The dark woods had an eerie aura, and the light of the torches was faint, shining closely, but at least it felt a little light and warmth. If he wants, Shylock can completely make the trees burn while walking, although he is only the level of the black robe, but it is still possible to make more than ten trees burn at the same time, but this is very consuming of spiritual energy.
The so-called mental power is a kind of concentrated willpower of people, which is a concept that Shylock first learned after entering school. Man communicates with the elements by concentrated willpower, and if the elements sense themselves, then they can use them for themselves. His spiritual power resonated with the fire and earth elements, so he chose to specialize in fire and earth spells. According to Akiyama-sensei, the average student can only resonate with one element at the apprenticeship stage, and even a skilled magician can only choose one type of specialized magic, so he has a bright future as a magician.
Such a promising future gave him hope, and it was precisely because of this that he strengthened his determination to follow the path of a magician.
Everyone followed the firelight, but found that they could not reach their destination, and the surrounding environment seemed to change, but it seemed to be walking in the same place. "Look, Shylock, this tree, I just cut it with my sword," Banduru said, pointing to a tree. Although it was dark, the white trunk of the tree was exposed because it had been cut down, which made people impress at first sight.
Shylock shook his head vigorously, the current situation is too weird, if what Banduru said is true, then the Misty Valley is really terrifying, I'm afraid that the 30 soldiers in front of him are also lost, maybe it's where to go around.
"By the glory of the mage, we are with the Empire!" "Shylock remembered the oath he had made when he had just passed the mage's primary exam. With the Empire, it is natural that the mage must first learn to protect himself, but in front of this scene, he can't help but start to tremble, although he has seen the mysterious power from the contact with magic, but the academy is more about learning combat skills against visible enemies, and the monsters he saw when he burned the woods just now are not the enemies he imagined at all.
A fire flashed not far away, and then nine black shadows appeared in the light of torches. Shylock grabbed his saber tightly, and when he saw someone coming, he breathed a sigh of relief, it was Shaozuo's soldier.
"Shylock!" said one of the captain-looking men, Shylock, dressed in black robes, making him easily distinguishable from the graduates.
The person who came drew his sword and spoke nervously to several magicians and captains: "Don't come here!"
