Chapter 200: Youth
"Lord Adra, there's news from the Scouts that the group of lizardmen is coming!"
A middle-aged man in armor walked in the hall outside, glanced at Adiel, and then reported to Adra.
"Here we go again. ”
Hearing the news, Adela frowned at first, and then looked at Adil who was standing on the side: "Lord Adil wants to go and have a look?"
"Of course. Adil nodded: "It is also my task to assist in defending the city. ”
They said a few words, and then headed outside.
On the small, dilapidated city walls, the cold wind was blowing fiercely.
It wasn't until hours later that some figures appeared outside.
It was a group of lizardman warriors dressed in characteristic green leather armor, generally shorter than ordinary people, with rudimentary weapons in their hands.
The strength of these lizardman warriors is very good, although they are generally not as tall as human warriors, but they are generally much stronger in terms of strength, and the skin on their bodies that has not yet completely degenerated also has good defense, and their combat effectiveness is very good overall.
However, neither Adil nor Adella took these ordinary lizardmen seriously.
Looking at the lizardmen gathered in the distance, their eyes looked back, and they clearly sensed the mana aura there, and their eyes couldn't help but show a trace of solemnity.
"It's coming!"
Looking at the scene in the distance, Adela let out a whisper.
A furious whistling sound came from afar, like insects constantly whispering, and they were constantly approaching the same place.
After a few moments, Adil could see the things clearly.
It was a mosquito-like insect with four legs, red all over, and each the size of a baby's fist.
Countless insects gathered together and squeaked and whispered as they flew through the air, with a low-frequency sonic vibration that was a little disgusting.
"This is a swamp blood worm that is a specialty of the Swamp Kingdom, and it is full of toxins, and it is a little troublesome to gather. ”
Looking at the red canopy in the distance, Adela lowered his head and explained to Adil.
He stood on the city wall, the mana on his body quickly gushing out, emitting a black light in front of him, and it was directly swayed out.
The black light rushed into the sky, colliding with the red formed by the insects gathering together, canceling each other out.
The corpses of blood worms kept falling, and they lost their lives immediately after being wiped by the black light.
There was a whistling sound in the distance, like the sound of arrows breaking through the air.
Under Adil's gaze, a pale green arrow flew from a distance, with a thick blood color on it, obviously not an ordinary arrow.
With a wave of his hand, Adela released a large number of shadow particles, forming a curtain of shadows in front of his eyes, colliding with the arrows, and suddenly letting out a violent explosion.
At this time, the other wizards around also reacted, and the mana on their bodies began to mobilize, and they each used their own means to attack outside.
After all, this is a place where a wizard family is stationed, in addition to the head of the family Yadra, who is an official wizard, there are also many apprentices and knights, which is also a lot of combat power at this time.
Coupled with the activation of the defensive witch array, the city wall was shrouded by the effect of the witch array, which also brought them a lot of advantages.
Roar!
A furious roar came from afar.
Under the gaze of Adil and the others, in the army of lizardmen in the distance, a giant beast with three horns and a body of four or five meters walked out, covered with a layer of pale yellow scales.
This is a swamp beast, a very ferocious monster in the swamp kingdom, which is rarely seen in the field.
On the back of the beast, a lizardman in a fur robe was standing, thin but with cold eyes, staring at Adra, above the city walls.
"The official wizards of the lizardmen, and there are two of them?"
Looking at the lizardman wizard on the back of the giant beast, feeling the message coming from afar, Adil nodded, his eyes flashing.
In addition to the official wizard on the back of the swamp beast, among the lizardmen in the distance, there was also a mana fluctuation of the official wizard, apparently there was also an official wizard.
Sure enough, it didn't take long for another lizardman wearing linen robes and looking much taller than ordinary lizardmen to walk out, exuding a powerful mana aura on his body, which was clearly felt by Adil and Yadra, who were standing on the city wall in the distance.
"These two lizardmen are very strong, and each one is no worse than me. ”
On the side, watching the people in the distance arrive, Yadella also explained: "In the past half a month, most of the reason why this city was able to hold on was because of the existence of this defensive witch array, which made me barely survive. ”
"But now that Lord Adil has arrived, he can try to fight back. ”
Listening to his words, Adil also nodded: "No problem." ”
The number of official wizards on both sides is equal, and there is also the existence of the guardian witch array, to some extent, Adiel's side actually has a certain advantage.
"Let's go on then. ”
Yadella nodded, and the spiritual power originally contained in his body slowly escaped, seducing the surrounding energy particles.
He waved his hand, and as the mana on his body volatilized, several shadow fireballs suddenly rushed into the distance, directly crashing into the lizard army.
Bursts of muffled roars and screams followed, accompanied by the smell of hot burnt and the remnants of flesh and blood.
Naturally, the lizardmen do not speak the same language as humans, and the vocal organs between the two races are different, resulting in the screams of these lizardmen sounding more like a miserable hiss to Adil.
The next moment, several arrows flew out quickly, shooting towards Adra, making an explosion sound on him.
On the side, another lizardman in a linen robe also took the opportunity to rush out, took out a scepter out of nowhere, and with a fierce wave, it created a storm and crashed directly into the city wall.
Rumble!!
The sound of flesh shattering came from a distance, causing the lizardman wizard to be stunned.
He subconsciously turned to look to the side, just in time to see an afterimage rushing quickly from a distance, and a blood-red scimitar flashed in his hand.
In an instant, Adil held a scimitar in his hand, and when the other party hadn't noticed it, he rushed directly in front of the other party, raised his arm high, and was ready to cut down.
Boom! Boom!
The sound of flesh and blood shredding quickly sounded, and when he was about to cut down the opponent's body, an inexplicable force field appeared, forcibly deflecting the direction of Adiel's slashing, and finally slashed at another lizardman apprentice, and saw through the scale armor on the opponent's body in an instant, causing the flesh and blood on the opponent's body to explode.
The blow missed, and Adil didn't care, just turned to look to the side.
In an instant, the lizardman wizard reacted, and an ice blade appeared directly in front of him, sweeping towards Adil with gusts of cold wind.
At such a short distance, with the speed of this spell, even at the speed of Adiel, it would be difficult to dodge.
Feeling the ice blade attacking in front of him, Adil waved his hand, and a touch of moonlight appeared on his hand, gradually becoming richer, and pressed down towards him.
The silver light shone on the surrounding meters for several meters, and the power like moonlight enveloped the place, colliding with the cold wind in front of him, gradually canceling out.
This is the light of the moon god, a spell obtained from the original trip to the ruins, and it is also the only attack spell that Adil has mastered now, and its power is very powerful.
The cold wind and the moonlight were constantly colliding, and under the control of the two official wizards, the two spells canceled each other out, almost covering the surroundings.
By the time the effect of the spell disappeared, the surrounding land of several meters was completely out of shape, and the people who were originally standing were rushed by the power of the spell escape, and were either smashed on the spot or thrown out, leaving only Adil and the lizard wizard still in place.
Under Adiel's gaze, the lizard wizard in linen robe roared, and the scepter in his hand emitted a faint blue light under the support of mana, and one of the spells in it was directly detonated.
"High-grade demonized items?"
In an instant, the thought flashed through Adiel's mind, and then his body thrust backwards.
A swamp black gas with a strong corrosive aura erupted in place, enveloping the original lizard wizard along with the original lizard wizard, apparently trying to trap Adiel.
This black gas has a strong radiation, in addition, there seems to be some kind of violent toxin in it, which is even more terrifying after being activated by mana, if it is in it for a long time, even a formal wizard will not be happy.
Seeing this, Adil flashed directly, rushed past the obstruction of several lizardman warriors behind him, and kept retreating towards the back.
Observing the situation in front of him, he had no intention of rushing forward again, just sensing the aura of the wizard in front of him, ready to drag the other party.
Official wizards are not so easy to deal with, with physical attributes far beyond official wizards, if he is willing to pay the price, Adil may be able to defeat the official wizard in front of him, but it is not so easy to really kill him.
This is not the remnant of the Elven Emperor whose mana has been suppressed, with the ability of a formal wizard, even if it is defeated, but unless there is too much difference between them, it is very troublesome to really kill it.
Adil's mission this time is only to help protect this area, and he has no obligation to go to the battlefield to fight at all, and it is not bad to be able to help drag down an official wizard, there is no need to fight with people.
In the distance, on the other side, Adra's battle with another lizardman wizard was still going on.
The blood light and the cold wind constantly collided, and with the blessing of the guardian witch array, Adra's power pressed down the lizard wizard on the opposite side, firmly gaining the upper hand.
Still, as time passed, they also fell into a stalemate.
I don't know how long it has been.
When the lizardmen's army withdrew, there were many corpses in the same place, including both lizardmen warriors and ordinary warriors defending the city.
Originally, there was a strong smell of blood, and occasionally some surviving swamp blood worms could be seen, lying on the corpses and constantly sucking blood, bringing a touch of purple to the corpses.
"This time it's thanks to Lord Adiel. ”
Leaving the city wall and returning to the previous hall, looking at Adil beside him, Adela thanked him very sincerely.
"You're welcome, that's what should be done. ”
Adil had a smile on his face, and his stomach and Adela in front of him said politely.
Compared with before, after the experience of fighting on the battlefield together, the two official wizards have less life, and their speech has become much more natural.
After chatting for a while, Adil left the living room and was led by a servant to familiarize himself with the surroundings.
The city, previously ruled by the Adra's family, had many well-established laboratories that pleased Adier.
Halfway through, walking through the streets of the inner city, a teenager suddenly rushed from the front.
"Bold!!"
Seeing the figure rushing in front of him, the faces of the two guards in front of Adil suddenly changed greatly, and one of them stretched out a hand, grabbed the young man rushing in front of him directly, and pressed it hard against the wall on the side.
It was only then that Adil saw the young man's appearance clearly.
This was a fairly handsome young man, who looked to be about fifteen or sixteen years old, wearing a patched coarse cloth coat, and who did not look like he was from a good family.
He held a small piece of purple stone in his hand, and his face was full of horror, as if he had seen something terrible.
It wasn't until he was pressed against the wall by two guards that he reacted, and his originally frightened face relaxed a little, and then he reacted: "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to bump in!"
"Let him go. ”
Without waiting for the guards to speak, Adiel's voice came from the side.
He looked at the teenager and didn't have the heart to think about anything with a child.
Hearing Adier's order, the two guards in armor glanced at each other, the force in their hands slowly dispersed, and the young man in his hand was put down, and then he walked to Adil's side, preparing to continue leaving.
Not paying attention to this little episode, Adil continued to walk forward, accompanied by the guards.
"Whew... Luckily, I met a good person. ”
Looking at Adier's distant back, the young man breathed a sigh of relief and patted his chest with some fear.
As a person with a lot of experience, he knew the difficulty of these guards, and if Adil hadn't opened his mouth this time, I was afraid that the end would really not be good.
Before he could react from his fear, he suddenly felt that something was wrong.
"It's so quiet!"
Feeling the aura around him, the thought rose in his mind.
Before he could think about it, a burning sensation came from his chest, and his eyes widened.
A cold feeling rose from behind him, and feeling this feeling, the young man's face showed fear, and he rushed forward without hesitation.
As if something was chasing behind him, he ran fast, no slower than some knight apprentices.
From the sight of others, it can be seen that behind the young man, several black shadows stand quietly, always following behind the young man, no matter how hard the other party runs, the distance has never changed, and even keeps shortening.
"What should I do!"
Feeling the cold feeling behind him getting closer and closer, and the more obvious burning sensation in his chest, the young man roared in his heart, almost despairing.
He rushed forward desperately, and finally saw a familiar figure in a corner.
"What are you doing here?" a gentle voice sounded in his ears, with a hint of familiarity.
In an instant, the young man felt that the cold feeling coming from behind him disappeared, and the whole person fell directly to the ground with a flower in front of him.
