Chapter 25: Eruption
In the grove, the animals were so frightened that they fled in all directions, and Captain Houghton's round shield was smashed, and his left arm was bleeding all the time, but he was lucky to save his life. In the retreat www.biquge.info, the bow and arrow and the magician's fireball technique blocked the attack speed of the polar people, ensuring that as many people retreated as possible.
Some of the soldiers had blood on their heads, some had a broken hand, and many were exhausted, and fatigue was exacerbated by fear. Captain Horton looked behind him and said to Takehito, "We can't retreat, if we can't stop them here, Riverside will suffer." ”
Takehito looked around, and the soldiers all looked at him. Take the path that no one has taken before. He reminded himself that there was no way for me to retreat.
"Rank out of the mid-level magic!" he yelled, trying to scare the fear away.
Kevin and Angelina stepped forward. "The three of us will have intermediate-level wood-based magic, and when they enter the woods, we will trap them with trees and vines, and the infantry will kill the trapped people, and the archers will cover!" Takehito kept thinking of tactics in his mind, "Those who know fire magic, whether it is a beginner 'burn' or an intermediate 'fireball technique', use it!"
The polar people were red-eyed, they roared, their voices were deafening, they brandished battle axes, war hammers, and rushed into the woods without any scruples.
A little closer, a little closer. The polar people are getting closer and closer, Kevin waved his hand, the branches of the trees became soft, and the vines surrounding the trees were like snakes, entangled the three polar people who rushed in front, the archers shot bows and arrows, the infantry couldn't wait, and slashed at the polar people trapped in the trees, the polar people roared, the war hammer smashed down an infantryman, the shoulder was hit by an arrow, and three short swords pierced his chest at the same time, and he fell to the ground with a bang.
"Let's go!" exclaimed Captain Houghton in surprise, "not a single enemy will be spared!" roared the besieged polar man, who bit his teeth and headbutted several infantrymen even though he was trapped by branches and vines.
A polar man roared, they didn't speak a lingua franca, Takehito couldn't understand it, he concentrated, waved his hand, and the trees didn't move. Something was wrong, and with a wave of his hand, the polar man rushed through the trees and ran towards him.
The fireball hit his left arm, which instantly burst into flames, and he roared and rushed towards Miller, who stared in horror at the rushing polar people, unable to move his legs.
"Miller!" Takeren waved his hand, he felt his chest feel stuffy and his body was hot, but the fire elemental didn't seem to listen to him.
"Roar, roar!" the Polar Man who rushed towards Miller roared again, smoke coming out of his right hand and the smell of burnt protein spreading. He swung his tomahawk with all his might, and the tomahawk slammed into the ground beside Miller.
"Miller!" Tomman shouted, he recited a spell that burned the polar man, Miller came to his senses and fled from the tomahawk, and the polar man was hit by two fireballs and fell to the ground.
Takehito felt that his body was getting hotter and hotter, and he missed burning it, but the fire elemental ignored him. No way, I can't even use elementary fire magic. His heart was shocked.
The large army of the polar people rushed over, and although the branches and vines limited their movement speed, it was clear that they were red-eyed, cutting branches and tearing vines, and fighting the human infantry. Kevin's face was pale, and he held on to the tree, which bent down, and a polar man jumped over the fallen tree, roared and aimed his tomahawk at him and cut it down.
An infantry screamed, and he caught the tomahawk with his short sword, and the whole person fell to the ground, and when Kevin ran behind, the infantryman was slashed in the chest by the tomahawk.
Kevin cried, clinging to the trees, and ran to the infantry. The polar men chased after them, and the infantry swarmed up, tomahawks and daggers colliding with each other.
Takehito's head ached more and more, he leaned against a tree, his right hand on his head, stretched out his left hand, and the flames jumped on the black fur of the polar man. He was overjoyed, but before he could be happy, the flame went out. No, the fire elemental doesn't listen to me.
At this moment, Takehito heard an angry roar, which resounded through the woods, and even the trees shook. The six-meter-tall monster walked into the woods, the bow and arrow could not reach his plate armor, and the fireball hit the plate armor leaving only black burn metallic, and he used his greatsword to cut through the vines that were entanglement around him, and with a lift of his leg, he broke the branches. The three infantry roared angrily and stabbed at him, there was not even a hole in the plate armor, and when he swung his battle axe, two infantry were disemboweled, and the greatsword blocked the short sword of the other infantryman, and with a hard slash, the infantry was split from top to bottom.
"Shoot, shoot him in the eye!" Captain Horton ordered the archer.
The giant covered his face with his greatsword and battle axe, and after a rain of arrows, he angrily uprooted several low trees on the ground and smashed them into the archers. The ordinary polar people who were inspired let out an earth-shattering cry, the human infantry were killed and wounded, and the archers were running out of arrows.
"Let's retreat!" Anzegna gasped and suggested to Captain Houghton, "we can't all die here. ”
"There's no way to retreat!" Captain Horton said hoarsely, bracing himself with his short sword, "Behind is Riverside Town, these bitches are raised, rush into the town and we'll be finished!
"Let's gather!" Kevin's face became paler and paler, sweat soaking through his blue robes, and he said to Takeren and Angelia, "We use trees and vines to create obstacles as much as possible to cover everyone's retreat, we should find a large army to reinforce us!"
Takehito's ears began to ring, he couldn't hear what Kevin was saying, he only felt Kevin's cold, sweaty hand holding him, and Angelia's hand was hot. Kevin's mana is running out, and he has a lot of physical exertion and needs to rest. He wanted to say these words, but his mouth was dry. Angelia chanted the spell, and the trees around him fell one after another, Kevin's number of fallen trees was less than that of Angelia's side, and the trees in front of Takehito did not move at all.
"Takehito, you concentrate!" Anjenia screamed.
Concentrate!Just like when you practice in college. Takehito bit his lip. As the giant got closer, he cut down 2 archers and walked towards Takehito.
"Damn! He's targeting us!" Angelia let go of Takehito's hand, "Come on, burn!" He unleashed his rudimentary fire magic, and the giant's head burned, and he didn't care, slapping away the scattered flames with his iron glove. He smiled, revealing his misaligned teeth, the size of an average human's index finger.
Having stopped using magic, Miller drew his dagger and engaged a polar man in a close-quarters battle that could be life-threatening for the mage in cloth. Kevin was on the ground, he could barely move, and the massive use of magic consumed too much of his physical strength.
"Stop him!" Captain Houghton, whose left arm was already broken, took the lead in rushing forward with his sword in his right hand.
The giant carried the greatsword behind his back, and the tomahawk blocked Captain Houghton's short sword, and with a gentle push, the captain was pushed to all fours. Another infantry rushed forward, and the giant, without even looking at him, picked up the infantryman's body and smashed it into the trees beside him.
"He's targeting the Magician!" Anzhigna dragged Kevin, "Run!"
Miller and Toman kill a Polar Man and they start backing away as well.
The human soldiers were killed and wounded, and the polar people killed almost all of the 600-strong Horton regiment at the cost of more than 70 people.
Takehito's head was getting more and more painful, and he felt that the world was spinning, and his whole body was hot as if there was a volcanic eruption in his body. The mana was surging, and he kept chanting the incantation, but the mana didn't go out. Forced to be authorized with intermediate-level wood magic and fire magic, he can't control these elements.
The giant laughed, grabbed him by the waist with his hand, and lifted him into the air. He didn't have the strength, he didn't want to lose, he didn't want to be killed by the polar people without even a single magic release. Yes, he didn't even kill a single polar man in this battle. He was not reconciled, but the pressure from the outside told him that as long as the giant exerted force, he would be torn off by the waist.
Take the path that no one has taken before. The first third-year magician to be torn off by a giant? He sneered, feeling more and more sarcastic, and he laughed wildly, as if there was a spring gushing in his body. He lost consciousness.
"Takehito, Takehito, oh my God, he's awake!" he heard someone call out to him, it was Tomman's voice, he moved, his whole body ached, he tried to open his eyes, a ray of sunlight pierced into his eyes, he closed his eyes, and it took a while to adjust to the light.
Lieutenant General Dai Ken walked briskly and shook his hand excitedly: "Miracle! You are such a miracle, Takehito!"
"Am I alive?" said Takehito softly, his voice faint and his head aching.
"Of course it's alive!" called Tomman cheerfully.
"What's going on?" he wondered, looking around, this was the barracks, and Kevin was lying next to him.
"You unleashed the Wood Ultimate Magic!Oh my God!You summoned 3 Treants!The giant was 6 meters tall, right? But the Treants were taller! They beat the Giant so hard that they threw the Polar People around like adults beat children!They were furious, because the Polar Men had hurt so many small trees!" Tomman's eyes were full of surprise and adoration, "When Lieutenant General Daken's reinforcements arrived, the Giant was fending off the Treemen's attacks and covering the Polar Men retreating!
