Chapter 28 Encounters
Encounters always come too suddenly.
In Monia's words, it's probably a corner to meet love, right?
It's just that this is the same for both sides, no one thought that the intended target would appear in front of them so hastily and abruptly, whether it was a human or an elf, the first time they saw the sudden appearance of the enemy, they did not rush forward, but paused slightly, until the leaders of both sides reacted at this critical moment, each shouted and rushed forward to kill, and time seemed to start flowing again, completely disproportionate The two parties rushed together, and blood splashed for a while, People turn on their backs.
When the brave wins when they meet on a narrow road, both sides think so and do so.
The first round of confrontation broke out under a situation that no one expected, and ended again under the circumstances that no one expected, and after less than a chaotic exchange of mushas, only blood and corpses remained under the dust of the horses' hooves—three elven warriors and twenty-two human knights.
Judging from the number of casualties, on the surface, the total number of elves with only more than ten has suffered a big loss, but in fact, it cannot be converted so simply - the enemy is a heavy cavalry, and the cavalry uses the relatively wide highland terrain to launch a surprise attack......
Wait a minute...... The second charge, the enemy will not fail to take this into account!
Their next goal can only be......
Ismailal realizes the worst possible scenario, and worse, if the worst possibility does happen, he has no justified way to deal with it. Although the enemy's intentions are perceived at the first time, in a battlefield encounter, even a moment of slowness can be called too late - at this time, it is an almost impossible task for even a combatant to catch up with the cavalry that is galloping away downhill with only the shadow of their hooves.
He could do it, but ......
With the strength of one person against the entire corps, a high-level soldier can indeed do it, but even if he can completely block the opponent's military momentum with one hundred, but what to do after that, as early as the enemy's first attack, he has already attacked, the enemy has long expected his strength, and it is impossible not to take some countermeasures - if he overdraws his own strength too early, it is very likely that the blow of the enemy's high-end forces will soon come head-on.
Then now there are only ......
His gaze finally rested on the mage's body - even if the little mage activated the spell shield and cast a defensive spell at the first time when the attack just came, but in such a hasty battle, the mage's disadvantage was vividly displayed - without the protection of others, it would have been like lightning bolts running through the knight's spear that would have picked him away, and no matter how strong her spiritual strength was, she would not be able to remain intact under the impact of an entire corps...... Although the gray face is not embarrassed, this little guy's mental state is too good.
At least when he looked over, he still had the strength to bare his teeth at him.
Of course, the joking thought only passed by slightly at such a critical moment, and the elven swordsman ignored these trivial matters, and only asked in a hurried voice, "Monia, can you stop their march?" ”
Deter?
Monia didn't quite understand this order, but she knew that this was not the time to ask, so she didn't hesitate too much, she just nodded, and then began to chant a song of incantations that were difficult for mortals to understand, and the awkward incantations flowed from the crimson cherry lips, and finally under the guidance of the white hands, they were woven into extraordinary power.
- The earth collapsed.
The final spell was spat out, and the atmosphere roared.
And then—
The earth is cracking, the earth is sinking!
This is the most suitable spell in the hands of the mage to fight against the knights, no, maybe it is not appropriate to simply describe it as suitable, because this spell was born to fight against the knights of the church, but it is not only the mages who have improved, the church is also constantly improving their magic and military system in the battle with the mages, and the knights and the chants that originally belonged to two different systems were organically integrated when fighting against the mages, and it was thanks to their cooperation that the undefeated myth of the Knights Templar was achieved.
It's a pity...... Not all Knights are Templars.
Without the protection of the Song Band, they were at best just a high-speed moving target in front of the mage - Monia, who had suffered a big loss in the encounter just now, thought maliciously, and then began to prepare the next spell, which was the same control spell as the Earth Collapse.
- Jungle Recovery.
Listening to the name, you know that this is the natural spell of the elves, this spell is to increase the growth rate of plants in a short period of time, and during the period of the elven empire, it was often used as a small trick for mages to quickly build their own gardens. But under the transformation of the elven archmage, it can play more than that, not only can it quickly create a pocket jungle that can exist in a short period of time, but it can also use the crazy plant delay to slow down the pace of the enemy's attack in a large range, which is perfect for use here.
After chanting the second spell, the mage breathed a sigh of relief, and before he could confirm the results, the third spell was already in his hand.
- That's the flames.
- A glorious fire that burns brightly.
— and the fire of revenge.
Monia's eyes narrowed slightly, beads of sweat streaming down her forehead, and then she raised the brilliant flame in her hand.
The next moment, the flaming dragon roared by.
The next moment, the pillar of flame rose into the sky.
- Flame Blast.
The short-lived jungle was reduced to a sea of flames, and the storm of flames seemed to rage endlessly.
"I'll leave it to you - note that the blow just now did not destroy the enemy's living force, they still have a certain amount of counterattack power" After the end of the spell casting, the little mage's slightly weak voice can be heard, after casting three mid-level spells in a row, even a middle-level mage with a deep background like Monia is a little unbearable, although it is not enough to completely lose the power of a battle, but in order to deal with the chaos that may come next, she must maintain a relatively good mental state in order to protect herself.
The only thing that's a bit of a pity is ...... Those damn creatures were protected by armor, and even if the fire explosion ignited the jungle she had summoned and increased its power to the maximum amount he could currently increase, it would probably only kill a dozen hoplites who were close to the center of the explosion and couldn't react in time.
They...... It deserves to be roasted into canned meat.
Monia thought viciously, and then looked at the two guards with different injuries around her - there were originally five warriors responsible for protecting the little girl, but three people were sacrificed to protect the mage in the previous round of impact, and under the charge of the heavy cavalry, even the whole body could not be found.
"I see." Isdamel was a little slow to react - he had not yet reached the upper realm, and he could resist only with a mid-rank body—even if it was temporarily against an elite army of more than a hundred people...... This is the mage? But in the end, he was a well-informed mercenary, so he quickly reacted and ordered: "The rest of the guards pay attention to protecting the mage, and the rest will follow me into the battlefield!" ”
He didn't worry too much about the safety of the mage, although the girl looked quite unreliable, but in fact she was a very strong combat mage, with two fighters around, even if the enemy of the upper level launched a surprise attack, nine times out of ten it would not be able to achieve the expected results.
But that doesn't mean he's restless, and even the opposite, he's plunged into an unprecedented state of worry
There was only one thing that worried him...... That's the enemy's backhand.
After stepping into the upper realm, both the warfighter and the spellcaster have the means to move quickly, maybe the enemy really did not set up an ambush nearby, but it has been quite a while since the end of the meeting, according to the worst possible guess, the enemy's high-end forces may be hidden nearby now, or even ...... Worse.
The soldiers are divided into two ways...... When the strength is insufficient, it is a big no-no.
If the other side takes advantage of this opportunity to attack...... The consequences were unimaginable.
Frowning slightly, the elven swordsman kept himself from thinking about the worst-case scenario - the most important thing now was to deal with the enemies in front of him as quickly as possible, and then meet the convoy as quickly as possible - from any point of view, superfluous worries were the most useless emotional burden.
So, it must be discarded.
He thought so, and then sank into the smoke-filled flames.
"Kill!"
After a rather subtle stagnation, it changed from extremely static to extremely dynamic in an instant, and the red blood dyed the flames on the sword body with a layer of subtle red in the blink of an eye, and then a crystal clear blood-red rose bloomed here.
But that's not the end of it.
The blood-colored flowers that had just bloomed had not yet had time to wither, one rose after another bloomed on this scorched earth of the world, but in the blink of an eye, there was no living creature here, only a sea of flowers.
Then withered.
The blood-colored flowers, numbering thirteen, were scattered into mud.
It was only then that the lifeless body fell into the raging flames, the steel helmet crackling under the flames, the rising smoke obscuring the eyes that had not yet closed, and the thin figure reflected in the pupils gradually faded.
There is only one monster that takes the lives of thirteen people in an instant, and his name is ......
Isda Mer.
The pinnacle of the upper rank of the warrior is only one step away from opening the door of the legend!
