Chapter IV: Lumber Yard Raid

For some reason, Monia had a very bad feeling about these kobold guards. Pen Γ— fun Γ— Pavilion www. biquge。 info This feeling is not present in kobold mages who are far more noble than them, but it is felt in these relatively insignificant kobold guards.

They...... Very ominous.

The more she pays attention to them, the more Monia is sure of this.

However, even if this is affirmed, the little mage still has nothing to do with them for the time being. For the remaining kobolds, who were nearly thirty freed from the effects of the spider webs, squeaked and charged at them.

Two fireball spells, one Elise's spider web technique and ice shield, this will probably consume all the mental power of an ordinary low-level mage, even for a primordial elf and senior low-level mage like Monia whose mental power recovery speed is far higher than that of humans, this series of spells has consumed nearly half of her mental power.

In order to guard against the unknown brought by the kobold guards, the little mage did not plan to waste too much mental power in the next battle. The only spell she planned to cast for this battle was Slowness, which only had five scales, and only three scales for chanting in Elven language, which was a very timely spell.

As Monia's chant ended, puddles of mud emerged at the kobolds' feet. These quagmires are not like the grease of the greasy spell that can make this group of brainless charging guys fall all over the ground to find teeth, nor are they like Elise's spider web technique that can temporarily restrain each other, but the range of the spell is far greater than the greasy spell, and the duration is longer than that of the spider web technique.

The mercenaries obviously had a good grasp of the battle situation, except for a few mercenaries who were dragged in the distance, the other mercenaries all seized the opportunity - the two warriors rushed out first, followed by the best of the two mercenaries, and Eronica was still guarding the little mage's side.

I have to say that Monia's retardation technique chose a good time, the kobolds were only about eight steps away from the mercenaries' position, and they suddenly panicked when they suddenly fell into the quagmire. In addition, they were not familiar with military discipline, and their formation when charging was also relatively scattered, and several mercenaries instead formed a situation of fighting more and fighting less.

The panic is temporary, but the damage is long-lasting. This time, the attacking mercenaries probably killed seven or eight kobolds. The kobolds were not a race known for their bravery, and after the mercenaries rushed to kill, the remaining kobolds gave up resistance completely and scattered.

In fact, this is the real kobold, kobolds rarely attack humans, a species that stands at the top of the biological chain, they are not bold, and when the number does not exceed more than double that of the other party, let alone attack, even if they resist more, they will collapse. If it weren't for the presence of mages, these kobolds would have been slaughtered under the last attack of "Sword and Rose".

And now, the only mage of the kobold is in a state of casting spells and devouring, and he has no strength to give any orders at all, and it is conceivable that the kobold who has lost his leadership no longer has the initial momentum.

The mercenaries don't have much interest in hunting down, the kobolds who don't gather a certain number are not worth mentioning at all, and the kobolds scattered around the forest will most likely become the dinner of the beasts, and even if they live, they won't have the guts to continue to occupy this place.

However, the battle was not over yet, and I don't know why the kobold guards did not break up with the large army, they guarded the kobold mage, just standing quietly, motionless, like the most elite escort in the kingdom.

But not at all like kobolds.

"Did you encounter them last time?" Monia looked at the members of the "Sword and Rose" mercenary group that finally gathered, and asked her own question, "They give me a very bad feeling, they don't look like kobolds at all. ”

"Nope." Eronica replied, her face was also bad, but it wasn't because she was worried, but because two of the members of the group had fallen forever in this battle, "If I had encountered them last time, I'm afraid I would have given up on this mission." ”

"They really don't look like kobolds," said the older warrior, whose name was Ferro, and Monia was presumably a helper sent by Eronica's father for fear of the girl's inexperience, "and their discipline is too strong, and their shapes are exaggerated." ”

"Are we still going to fight?" The other warrior, Monia didn't know her name, but the girl who was supposed to be a friend of Eronica looked at the mercenary girl, "To be honest, I don't want to fight with such a monster again." Super troublesome. ”

"I'm sorry, Wiener, I'm afraid this battle can't be avoided." Aronika shook her head, "Kobolds are very boss-conscious creatures, and if we don't kill their leader, I'm afraid it won't be long before this place is taken over by them." As you may have noticed, there are no cubs among these kobolds, they are probably a young tribe that has recently splintered. ”

"It's a nuisance." The girl named Vena tilted her head to the side.

It didn't take long for the mercenaries to reach a consensus. All the wounded mercenaries remained, and a team of three warriors went to the crusade, and the mages used spells to carry out the first wave of attacks in the back, and then prepared auxiliary spells for the warriors.

This is a decent way to fight, and Monia has nothing to say, waiting until the three warriors are ready, chant the fireball technique again, summon a flaming flame, and throw it at one of the kobold guards at the front.

With a "bang", the sparks dissipated, and the kobold guards were intact. This was not beyond everyone's expectations, low-level spells were not omnipotent, they lost their suddenness, and with the flying speed of the fireball technique, the kobold guards had no time to raise their shields and block this spell.

Although the mage's flame is more condensed and hotter, in the end, it is still a flame - at least, the flame shaped by a low-level mage is not fundamentally different from the daily flame. If the target is strong enough, it won't be difficult to block the blow with a non-flammable shield.

Monia did not stop chanting because of this, the second spell she prepared was to harden the skin, this spell is to form a hard layer of skin on the recipient, the effect is not at all comparable to the ice shield favored by low-level mages, but it can designate several recipients at a time, and does not affect the activities of the recipient, it is a very practical spell.

After hardening the skin, the spell she blessed the three warriors was the Vitality Technique, which was a spell that could be blessed by multiple recipients at once like the Petrified Skin, the only difference was the effect, this spell was to overdraw the future vitality and keep the recipient alive in the moment.

After two auxiliary spells, Monia was completely idle, as a mage with a very serious tendency, she remembered very few auxiliary spells, and she could find the right one at the moment, which could already be said to be the guidance of the goddess of fate.

The warriors blessed with Monia's spells were already fighting with the kobold guards, and this kind of mixing of friend and foe was not suitable for the mage's spells. Therefore, Monia did not continue to cast spells to attack the enemy, but simply watched the battle unfold from the high ground in the distance.

Rushing to the forefront is Eronica, the mercenary girl didn't have much loss in the previous battle, coupled with the effect of the spell "vitality", the burning battle intent on her body can be clearly perceived even from such a distance.

Faced with an abominable kobold guard half a body taller than her, she brazenly unstruck her sword.

The sword body is as clear as water, and what is wrapped around the clear sword body is a series of blood-red cyclones that are intertwined in a spiral shape -- that is "Jin", which is what distinguishes the fighters from ordinary soldiers, and there is only one kind of blood-red "Jin" in Mastan, that is, "Blood Red Rose".

As one of the most famous "strengths" in the Mastan mercenary world, the "Blood Red Rose" is famous for its cutting effect, and the wounds that were cut by it have almost no way to heal, and a small blood stain can almost kill a burly man.

Monia didn't know the characteristics of the "Blood Red Rose", but she knew that the strength of the "Jin" - the warrior who used the "Jin" would greatly enhance his strength, speed, agility and other aspects - this is a power that has the same potential to become a legend as a mage, and in the future Aarens, all classes will basically develop with these two power systems.

However, it is precisely because I know the power of "Jin" that I feel incredible. In the flash of lightning, the kobold guard raised his shield and blocked the mercenary girl's attack, without retreating a single step.

While it's not surprising to block an attack from an opponent who is smaller than you, size doesn't speak for itself when the opponent is a fighter. Figuratively speaking, the kobold guard took this slash motionlessly, as incredible as an ordinary person holding up a house with one hand.

Eronica was naturally the most surprised of all, but now was really not the time to be surprised, she took a step back, adjusted her posture and mentality, and then slashed again.

Once again, the kobold guard has a different agility and strength than it looks, and it stands here like a wall blocking Eronica's path, and what is even more desperate is that there are six guards like it.

"It's a nuisance." Equally hindered by the mercenary girl were Fei Luo and Wei Na, who also encountered their respective opponents, but Fei Luo had been quietly looking for the enemy's weak points, while Wei Na launched a tidal wave of onslaught at the opponent as if impatient, "Is the kobold a close relative of the turtle?" Why do I feel that they are harder than a turtle shell? ”

The mage standing on the high ground was able to observe the battle situation more comprehensively, and only three of the seven kobold guards on the other side were divided to meet the enemy, and the remaining four were huddled together, protecting the kobold mage tightly, not giving her a chance to sneak attack at all.

It's not a bad situation, at least it gives Eronica a chance to go head-to-head. In this kind of heads-up, it is almost impossible for the fighters to lose to these enemies, who are strong but do not have any "strength". The only one who can defeat them is the same warrior or mage.

It's clear that kobolds guard, neither.

For Monia, the defeat of the kobold guards was already doomed, but in the eyes of those who fought on the front lines of the kobold guards, victory was still far away. The kobold's shield is almost desperate, and it always holds up its shield before the attack arrives, blocking attacks from all directions.

The battle gradually entered a tug-of-war, and time passed bit by bit in the boring confrontation, and the situation did not change at all.

The first one who couldn't bear it was Weina, the girl interrupted the continuous offensive for the first time, carefully retreated a few steps, made sure that the kobold guards did not follow up, slowly adjusted her breathing, and half-bowed. The right hand holding the sword is raised horizontally in front of him, and the left and right hands remain in a straight line of sight.

"It's really troublesome, I hate this turtle shell the most!" The girl's whole body was wrapped in "strength", the violent air currents lifted her dry short red hair, and her black eyes were unprecedentedly serious and confident, "I declare that all enemies who stand in my way will be pierced by a sword!" ”

As Weina's announcement fell, the girl accelerated violently and rushed forward! The force is too fast to tear through the air and set off a violent wind! In just a moment, the girl's whole body fell into a frenzied cyclone, rushing forward, rushing, and rushing! Indomitable!

And then...... Crashed into the shield.

The whirlwind, dissipated. The girl stopped in front of the shield and remained motionless.

"It's really troublesome, my whole body aches......" Wei Na grumbled as always, reluctantly moving the stabbing sword away, turning around and smiling, "But, it seems that this time I'm the fastest." ”

Behind him, the kobold guard fell with a bang.

A trail of blood splattered from his back, right in front of the atrium and right in front of the small, inconspicuous piercing of the shield.

Perhaps stimulated by Wiener, Eronica also started a new action.

She didn't reflexively reflex like Vina, nor did she make a gesture of preparation, but just declared in the same loud voice: "I firmly believe that the blood-colored rose will bloom!" ”

With her announcement, "Jin" surged wildly, her body surface, and even the sword body were filled with bright red aura, and every time she slashed after that, the red aura rose by one point, and the speed of the slash was also one point fasterβ€”until the blood-colored slash set off a blood-colored storm, and the bright red rose bloomed in mid-air, and everything gradually subsided. All that was left were the torn shield, the guard, and the girl who silently stuck her sword on the ground.

In the end, only Ferro was left on the stalemate battlefield, and the old mercenaries were still testing the kobold guards' defenses again and again, and it seemed that there was no possibility of solving the battle in a short time. However, neither Aronica nor Vina intervened, just watched quietly, not worrying about the old mercenary at all.

Things went as they had expected, and the old mercenary didn't disappoint, and although he didn't end the battle with the ornate arcane like the two maidens, he killed the kobold guard in his own unique way - without warning, in a hammer blow that changed direction, and then changed direction again, and somehow the guard's shield shifted away, revealing its head, and the rest was easy.

"It's your last again, Old Fez." Wei Na teased the other party half-jokingly, "It's like this every time, we've been together for more than a month, and I haven't seen your secret meaning even yet." ”

"No way, Miss Weina." The old mercenary smiled helplessly, "I'm no younger than you, I have the vitality to unleash the mysteries. For someone my age, the consequences of releasing a secret meaning are not simply back pain. ”

After a wry smile, the old mercenary concluded:

"The only thing I can rely on is experience.";
