Chapter 23: I haven't seen an IQ for a while

The moon is dark and the wind is high, and the black clouds are overwhelming. Pen fun and pavilion www.biquge.info

The silence of the night grew noisy, and the walls were filled with heavily armed soldiers.

After the assembly in the palace, the old king did not talk too much nonsense, and was very skillful in the distribution of combat power.

All the mages were evenly distributed to each wall, and Akai and I were assigned to the front wall.

The power of the mages in this world is not strong, and there are still too few people like old mages after all, and not everyone can live to this age in peace.

Akai and I have grown rapidly because of the God-given plug-in.

By the way, since I killed that snow monster a week ago, the huge experience it left behind has directly caused my level to soar to more than fifty!

It also comes with a staff: the Ice Staff.

So, as soon as Akai and I got home, I immediately leveled up all my experience.

Thanks to the tremendous experience that this snow monster has contributed, I am now a level 16 mage.

It's a leap forward!

Name: Ah Xia (Rank 16 Formal Magician)

Grade: 8

Backpack: 30 slots

Mana: 1840/1840

The huge increase brought by the three levels in a row has almost doubled my mana from 1135/1135 to 1840/1840 at the original thirteenth level.

With such an abundance of magic, this means that I will never have to tighten my belt to release magic in the future, but this does not mean that I can release magic at will, only that with the increase of magic power, there are more magic options that can be released, and there will be more ways to deal with various problems.

Naturally, I couldn't hide the changes in the old mage's eyes, and after feeling the fluctuations of my magic power a little, the old mage sighed and said that he was really old.

One step closer to the existence of the Great Magician, Akai is also sincerely happy for me.

Akai and I walked on the ramparts, and the soldiers were arranging their weapons and gear, ready for the oncoming attack of the monsters. Naturally, Akai and I were not idle, and under the influence of the soldiers, we also consciously began to organize the equipment on our bodies.

Akai is now wearing chain mail, which has higher defense than iron armor, but the weight of chain mail is much lighter than iron armor, and this set of equipment is the highest masterpiece of Uncle Blacksmith.

With the Searing Bow in hand, Akai looked down from the battlements, beneath the endless plains, the visibility was only a few hundred meters under the influence of the dim weather, and beyond it was blocked by darkness.

Time passed very slowly in this state, and Akai and I became more and more irritable as time went on, but we still calmed down and waited.

The moon rises quietly.

The scarlet moonlight shone onto the earth, as if covering the land with a light red veil.

Gradually, the roars of monsters sounded sporadically across the plain, and the sound was small when it came to this side, but it was clear in such a silent night.

"Here we are." Sitting on the floor with my eyes closed and recuperating for a long time, I opened my eyes and took off the glasses that hung from the mage's robe and put them on.

"Ahh Akai replied and tightened the bow in his hand.

In the night, the Scorching Bow seemed to burn, emitting a faint red glow and heat.

It was the sound of excitement.

After a while, the roaring was no longer faintly audible, but more and more dense.

Until...

"Shoot !!" With the command of the leading soldiers, the arrows on the bowstrings were thrown out by the many archers on the four walls, forming a dense rain of arrows in the air.

Below the city, the monsters in the darkness are constantly swaying forward.

Countless scarlet eyes have only one goal———— to raze this castle to the ground!

"It's a spectacular sight." Looking at the dense crowd of monsters under the city, Akai and I were a little frightened by the number.

You know, when we spent the Blood Moon, there were only 200 zombies plus a few skeleton archers and creepers.

But look at the present!

Thousands, or nearly tens of thousands, of monsters are pouring towards this lonely city. The most of them are zombies, but there are also a lot of skeleton archers and creepers.

Akai and I even wondered if all the creepers in this army of monsters were to be blown up in this city, would it be completely razed to the ground?

"Rest assured, Master Mage, our city has never fallen!" As if sensing Akai's and I's concerns, the leading soldier smiled at us.

"Then thank you for the good words." I nodded, putting aside the uneasiness and apprehension in my heart.

At this time, after five or six waves of arrow rain, although the vanguard's monster army was shot and killed, it was filled with zombies that followed later, and in general there was not much reduction.

"If we can survive tonight, then the number of monsters will be greatly reduced after the beginning of spring, and it is likely that there will be no monsters for the whole season." Along with us in defending the frontal wall were a number of mages, who were also talking.

Coming back to his senses, Akai said, "The monsters are approaching, and they need to get ready." ”

"Then again, I can't figure it out." I frowned.

"What's the matter?" Akai asked, puzzled.

"The walls of this city are so high, and the walls are basically solid except for the gates, so there is no use for such a large wave of zombies below."

"Uh... Hearing you say that, it seems like that's really the case. ”

At this time, the monster army was already under the city.

But how can this group of monsters attack the city?

Is it just a creeper to blow up a road and then rush up?

If this were the case, the castle would have been flattened a long time ago, how could it exist to this point.

At this moment, Akai and I saw that in the zombie horde, some of the zombies seemed to be holding something in their hands.

"[Clairvoyance]" I didn't think much about it, I directly used this magic to start observing, and Akai also looked at it with the unique vision of archers.

"I'll you!" *2

When we saw a zombie with a clod of dirt in his hand placing his unit under the wall, Akai and I made a groaning sound.

This Nima is so talented!

Has the IQ of zombies evolved to the point of building stairs?!

What's wrong with the world?

In other words, how did the dirt in the hands of zombies come from? Zombies can't dig into the dirt.

At this moment, I seemed to hear an explosion coming from the rear of the monster army, and immediately threw the [Clairvoyance Technique] out.

And then...

"I'm ······"

"Natsu, what's wrong?" Seeing that the soldiers on the city wall were constantly shooting the dense zombies under the city wall with bows and arrows, Akai also pulled up his bow and shot, but turned his head and saw my expression on a wrough face, so he asked.

"There's a group of creepers in the back bombing the plains." I explained as I watched.

"Uh, and then what?" Akai kills the zombie who had been holding a clod of dirt and was about to lay it on the ground.

"Then a bunch of zombies picked up the clods of dirt that had been scattered on the ground after the creeper blew up, and came over to take the stairs." After saying the matter in one breath, Akai also stiffened.

"Isn't it..."

Zombies should not have such an IQ, so such an operation must be commanded by more powerful monsters, which is the result of the final discussion between me and Akai.

Rumble! A large fireball smashed into the monster pile, emptying an area. When the fireball exploded, the ground began to burn.

The mages also began to work after the soldiers, all with fire magic, to light up the dark night.

Fireball, a favorite of countless mages, has infinite possibilities, and is the nemesis of undead dark creatures.

Don't mention to me that the Holy Light is the nemesis of these monsters, there is no such thing as Holy Light in the magic system of this world.

Of course, neither did the Dark Shepherd!

During the period of, the mound of earth under the city has reached a certain size, and everyone understands that once the zombies build the stairs, then it will be difficult to defend it, and it is indispensable to fight each other.

But just watching these zombies pile up one by one? The answer is no.

"[Flame Charge]" As the mages' voices rang out, clumps of unstable flames full of destruction appeared in the air, and then blasted towards the mound of earth beneath the city walls.

bong! bong! bong!

Explosions after explosions followed.

[Fireball] is another iconic magic in fire-based magic, and unlike [Fireball], the effect caused by [Fireball] is incineration, while the effect produced by [Fireball] is destructive power.

One is a burning surface, and the other is directly causing explosive damage.

This magic couldn't be better here.

It's a pity I won't...

As the [flame charges] went down one by one, the small mound of dirt gathered by the zombies was blown away, and at this moment, the creepers finally squeezed out of the zombie pile and rushed up to the city wall.

"Shoot the arrows! Shoot the arrows! Aim for those creepers! ”

It was another round of arrow rain, and the creepers fell a lot, but some still rushed to their destinations, and then...

Rumble!

The walls are mightily defended!

"Whew, scare me." I breathed a sigh of relief.

"It seems that the fragmentary explosions are not a threat, so let's go ahead and aim to clear them." Akai said, pulling the bowstring full.

Cloud-piercing arrows!

The bolt of the meteor with the light of the fire has carved a path through the monster horde.

Powerful.

"It's a lot stronger." Looking at the power of Akai's arrow, I couldn't help but sigh.

"You can't be pulled down too much." Akai said with a smile.

"Well, I'm going to do it too." Looking at the soldiers and mages who were busy around me, a ball of fire appeared in my hand.

I found the fireball and threw it down in a place where zombies were dense, and I raised my hands above my head.

[Intermediate: Insect Gathering Technique]!

Countless fireflies lit up the night sky and harassed the vast crowd of zombies beneath the city.

"Archers prepare, release the arrows!" The leading soldiers were very good at seizing the opportunity, and organized a round of arrow rain again, clearing a large area under the city.

"Don't think it's so easy." I poured a bottle of intermediate mana recovery potion, which I received from the Mage Guild, and the intermediate mana recovery potion can restore 300 mana points in a short period of time.

Two huge fireballs were thrown into the zombie sea in a row, and the flames suddenly burst into flames.

"Oh!!!" The morale of the soldiers was raised.

"Brothers, release the arrows! Let these monsters know we're awesome! The lead soldier roared.

"Oba!" *n

A dense rain of arrows followed.
