Ah Mo, who was beside Xia Yun, was chanting magic spells. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
The elements of heaven and earth gathered in the sky under the guidance of Amer's magic power, exuding a scorching aura.
In the void, an illusory flame spear gradually emerged.
Fire Level 3 Magic - Blazing Spear.
Tempest's Breath was formed at a distance, and it wasn't very fast, and by the time Amer finished the Blazing Gun, Tempest's Breath hadn't reached the convoy.
"Go." Amer whispered, pointing at Tempest's Breath.
"Whoosh." The Blazing Spear was propelled by an invisible force and rushed towards the Breath of the Wind, which was slowly advancing.
The Blazing Spear pierced directly into the Breath of the Wind.
A few wind blades grazed the Blazing Spear, causing the Blazing Lance to shake slightly, but it didn't stop the Blazing Spear from moving on.
"Boom."
The Blazing Spear exploded in the center of the Tempest's Breath, turning into a massive fireball that spread with a stream of hot energy.
The Wind's Breath shuddered, and the explosion of the Blazing Spear tossed the elements that had formed the magic into a mess, and quickly dissipated.
There were also some scattered wind blades that struck towards the convoy, and were easily blocked by several mercenaries in front of them.
"Awesome." Xia Yun couldn't help but glance at Amer on the side and said.
Accurately attacking the core of Level 4 magic with Level 3 magic causes a turbulent flow of mana to destroy the entire magic, which is not something that can be done simply. Not only must you have a strong control over magic, but you must also have strong analytical skills.
"This magic should be formed by driving alchemy items with magic crystals." Amer said, "It's very rough and it can't be changed, as long as a magician with a little research can see through the reality at a glance, it's easy to break it." ā
Although he said this, Amer still looked smug.
On the side of the road ahead, there are dense weeds, and a little further away are some rocks.
In the weeds, the movement of squirming came, and soon bandits dressed in good clothes quickly came out and set up a formation on the road.
Jerome didn't move, they knew that with the speed of their convoy, there was no point in rushing, not to mention that the bandit group that could greet them with magic at the beginning must not be some fuel-efficient lamp.
"Tsk, that's pretty good." There were seventy or eighty people in the formation, and the leader of them had a scar on his face, wearing a light armor, carrying a terrifying big knife, and his voice was a little gloomy.
"Far from the city, there are such wildernesses, and many outlaws will wander here to form bandits." Amer explained to Xia Yun on the side, "These bandits are all rogues, here today, there will be there tomorrow, basically there is no fix, most of them parted ways after a few votes, so they are also extremely fierce, wait be careful." ā
Xia Yun nodded.
He wasn't particularly worried.
In terms of warrior strength, he is a fourth-level warrior, and his magic strength is fifth-level, but his attributeless mana cannot form magic, and can only be activated through some alchemy props.
But even so, Xia Yun used all kinds of messy alchemy props on his body, plus his warrior strength.
"I guess I can reach the fifth level of strength." Xia Yun thought to himself, "When the situation is critical, it should be no problem to use those alchemy props to escape." ā
Xia Yun's space ring is stuffed with a lot of messy alchemy props, all of which he has refined himself, and Master Lin is also full of praise for his talent in alchemy, and many of the alchemy props he has refined have very good power.
For some reason, Xia Yun himself was a little nervous in his heart, as if he was longing for a battle.
"I haven't really fought yet." Xia Yun clenched the sword in his hand and thought secretly, "I used to fight with Master Lin's puppet, and I was all up to the point, but this time I'm afraid I will have to move in earnest." ā
"This one, it's not easy for all of us to live." Jerome's big voice rang out, "Well, let's get over, how about it?" It's not good to fight and kill, right? ā
"Reconciliation?" The scar man who led the bandits narrowed his eyes slightly, his voice was gloomy, and he sneered, "It's not impossible to reconcile, so let's do it, we have a total of seventy-six brothers here, seventy-six gold coins, invite us brothers to have a good meal, let you go, how about it?" ā
"Be careful, the other party has no intention of reconciling at all." As soon as Amer heard Scar Man's offer, he immediately whispered, "Get ready to fight." ā
"Tsk, our team of thirty people is only 500 gold coins for such a long way from the Northwest Province to the Central Province, plus the regiment commander has been abducted and deceived all the way to more than 600 gold coins, their small team is so much, if we ask for so many gold coins every time along the way, we will also get compensation, these caravans will not pay for us tolls." Amer snorted coldly, and a string of magic scrolls appeared in his hand, "They didn't want us to accept this price. ā
I don't know why, although the situation is very tense, when he heard Amer say that Captain Jerome was abducted and deceived all the way, Xia Yun almost couldn't hold back his laughter.
"Seventy-six gold coins, that's a lot." Jerome said in a low voice, "I'll also quote a price, twenty gold coins, let us pass, and you won't hurt a single person." ā
As he spoke, Jerome slammed the axe in his hand into the ground, and with a bang, the ground cracked open with a large crack.
"Twenty gold coins?" The scar man sneered, "Sending a meal? ā
"Isn't it asking for food to do this kind of thing?" Amer whispered.
"Brothers, these people won't pay," Scar Man said in a loud voice, "What should I do?" ā
"Kill! Kill! Kill! A chaotic shout suddenly rang out from a gang of bandits.
"This motley army." Jerome muttered, a heavy fighting spirit rising from his body, "Get ready to fight!" ā
"Rush me!" The scar man dragged the big knife and shouted.
Suddenly, a group of bandits rushed up in a chaotic manner, and the formation quickly dispersed, obviously without cooperation at all, and it was chaotic as soon as it came to actual combat.
"Shoot the arrows!" Jerome ordered.
The archers who had already prepared on the mercenary group's side suddenly shot the first wave of bows and arrows, and more than a dozen arrows infused with fighting spirit were extremely powerful, piercing the air and making a sharp whistling sound.
A few unlucky bandits were shot by arrows, but these bandits with at least third-level warrior strength were not so easy to be knocked down, except for one unlucky guy who was hit in the throat, among the other bandits there were a few minor injuries.
After two waves of arrows, the bandits were already about to rush closer, and the mercenaries who had been holding bows and arrows also put away their bows and arrows one by one and replaced them with their own weapons.
Brandishing a giant axe, Jerome swept away several bandits with an axe and fought the bandits' leader, Scar Man.
Both of them used heavy weapons, and the fight was extremely powerful, and the other mercenaries and bandits did not dare to approach.
The mercenaries formed a formation and resisted by the convoy, while the bandits besieged in a chaotic manner, and all kinds of fighting spirits collided with each other, stirring up chaos among the surrounding elements.
The mercenaries relied on the convoy, several people cooperated with each other to help each other, and in the face of bandits who were several times their own but would not cooperate, they had the upper hand, but from time to time they were like poisonous snakes to attack the besieging bandits. On the whole, it is indeed in a state of anxiety.
"Bang!" A robber armed with a mace slammed the mace away from the shield of one of the mercenaries standing in his way. The mercenary was shocked back a few steps, and the spear in the hand of another mercenary behind him was like a poisonous snake spitting out a letter, stabbing out at a tricky angle, and the mace bandit couldn't avoid it, and was stabbed in the chest with a fierce shot, and immediately blood gushed out, and he retreated again and again.
Several other bandits behind the mace bandits seized the opportunity to surround them, and slashed at the place where the gap in the defense appeared. Although the mercenaries are well guarded, once they reach this kind of place where mistakes occur, this embarrassing situation will occur, after all, the number is superior to the opponent, and once there is a defensive gap, it is easy to be attacked by the tide of enemies.
"Boom!" A flame fell from the sky, and the scorching wave of fire instantly enveloped several bandits in this gap in the defense.
Several bandits surrounded this fighting spirit, fiercely resisting this flame, but this flame still gradually eroded and consumed the fighting spirit.
Seeing this, the mercenaries immediately took the opportunity to attack, and before the bandits could react, the mercenaries were pierced through the vital point and fell into flames, and the mercenaries also took the opportunity to re-establish their defenses.
"Magician!" Suddenly, a few bandits noticed Amer who sent out magic support, and quickly rushed over, and the other mercenaries around were also entangled, and for a while, there were no mercenaries to stop these bandits.
In battle, especially in this kind of team battle, the threat of a mage is huge, after all, high-lethality magic has too much impact on the situation on the battlefield, if a mage can unscrupulously unleash magic, a mage's threat is far better than a warrior of the same level.
Amer also seemed to be prepared, and with a wave of his staff, several instantaneous fireballs blasted towards the few people who surrounded him, and at the same time urged the cyan demon wolf he was riding to quickly pull away.
"Is it finally here?" Xia Yun clenched the stabbing sword in his hand, and couldn't help but feel a tremor in his heart, even ...... The thirst for battle.
The surging mana is injected into the stabbing sword, and although the non-attribute mana cannot release magic, the power of urging alchemy props to rise is not reduced at all. A misty cyan light suddenly appeared on the bayonet, and there was also an invisible wind attribute energy surrounding it.
Although you can't directly release magic through non-attribute mana, you can still convert non-attribute mana into energy of various attributes through the transformation of the alchemy circle, just like Amer Although he is a fire-attribute magician, the magic scroll he just used is actually a wind-attribute detective magic.
Xia Yun is also able to convert mana through alchemy props, although the power is much smaller than directly releasing magic, but it is already very powerful.
Xia Yun quickly rushed towards the attacking people.
The powerful soul power made Xia Yun sense the general strength of his opponent.
"If there is no hidden strength, one level four, three level three." Xia Yun felt a little excited, this was his first real battle.
