Chapter 341: Undercurrent
Although the war between the Orc Empire and the Otiga Empire is becoming more and more intense, it is still within the province of Zimbuwe after all, and the humans in other regions only use it as a leisure conversation, and the war is still far away from them.
However, there are some places where the effects of war are not immune.
For some time now, the shape of the Cordillera territory has been noticeably chaotic...... Of course, this kind of chaos does not mean total disorder, and if we put it another way, it seems that there is nothing wrong with saying 'lively'.
On the one hand, the flood of immigrants has increased the population density, and walking in those towns and cities clearly feels the increase in popularity. On the other hand, due to the smooth sea routes, a large number of merchants and goods poured into the Cordillera Collar, which drove the market here. In addition, in the Cordillera Territory, a large number of dwarves have openly settled and settled, in addition to the barbarians and rarely seen sea elves, although their whereabouts are very secretive, the various trade goods they bring with them still bring shocks to the merchants of the Cordillera Territory.
The busiest of course are the Cordillera Territory's police department, which not only has to maintain order in the territory, but also has to mediate various disputes and even prevent unscrupulous elements from infiltrating the territory.
However, not all the weird characters who enter the Cordillera Collar will be effectively monitored by the police, after all, the police have limited manpower, and their personal strength is not too high, and the truly special characters are beyond their control. Now, for example, there are two people walking down the street, and not far from them, the famous King of Shadows, Stilwell. Ponson was monitoring their movements.
The two men covered their bodies tightly with their cloaks. Even most of his face is obscured by a hood...... This kind of barricade is nothing in the Cordillera Territory, and there is no law in the territory that requires pedestrians to show their faces or dress code. However, the magic fluctuations emanating from their bodies can conceal ordinary people, but they can't hide from high-level professionals, especially high-level thieves. Even if they were wrapped all over, they could still smell the mage.
In addition to Hathaway, Cordillera is a full-fledged magician, Lena and Jessica are high-level magic apprentices, although there are many students recruited by the training base with good potential. But it's still a long way from really coming in handy. However, among the members of the special combat team, many of them have reached the level of advanced apprentices in magic, and they have great potential for growth.
Of course, having magic fluctuations on your body doesn't mean it's suspicious. But these two people have been for days. Some important locations for Yamaguchi Castle. and the deployment of the city defense army, etc. They are all infiltrated and investigated by many parties, and even use magic to spy on the covert, which cannot but make people suspicious.
After receiving the will of Fiwenlie XVIII. Hathaway let Stilwell. When Ponson returned to the Cordillera, the question of garrison was, of course, left to the city guards, and the question of law and order to the police. But to prevent the infiltration of spies, as a high-level thief Stilwell. Ponson, apparently, is the best candidate.
The city of the Pass, essentially a small fortress, was blocked at the entrance to the mountains of Brinia, opposite Gettysburg in the province of Casseff. Originally, this small fortress was built to protect against invasions from the province of Casef. But I didn't expect to be against Brinia now. Whether it is the Cordillera to send troops to the mountains of Briennia, or vice versa, Brinia to the Cordillera to send troops, this is a must-pass place.
According to the plan of some generals of the city defense army, they wanted to concentrate their forces to attack first, but Hathaway refused.
The Cordillera migration wave has just subsided, and the people's hearts are still unstable. After the reorganization of the city defense army, although the combat effectiveness soared, due to the large scope of the territory and the relatively scattered troops, once it is used in a centralized manner, I am afraid that it will cause a series of adverse reactions.
Recently, many spies from the mountains of Brinia have been caught by the police department, but I didn't expect the other party to send a magician this time. Although these two people are only one level at most, Stilwell. Ponson still felt a wave of excitement, he hadn't felt this way in a long time.
The two unabashedly probed to make Stilwell. Pang Sen was furious, these two people obviously relied on their identity as magicians to dare to be so unscrupulous, this is undoubtedly a challenge to the Cordillera Collar, and it is unacceptable!
Although he could feel that the strength exuded by the other party was not weak, Stilwell. Ponson didn't intend to let the other go.
"Two, please stay! I'm a Cordillera collar and I have some questions for you both! "Seeing that these two men are leaving, Stilwell. Pang Sen took a slight step, and his figure appeared in front of the two magicians like a fallen leaf.
A person from Nuoda appeared in such a way, but he did not show the slightest aura of a strong man on his body...... This discovery immediately alerted the two mages, such a blatant blockade to reveal their identities, the fool also knew what it meant, originally thought that the Lord of Cordillera had led the elite to the battlefield, no one could notice him, but he didn't expect to be in trouble, exchanged glances with each other, the two magicians immediately took a step outward, put on a defensive posture, and the hands hidden under the cloak quickly tightened.
"Hehe, what advice does Your Excellency have?" The magician on the left asked unceremoniously, and his burning gaze was even more presumptuous on the Lord of Shadows.
"Are the two of you unscrupulously probing the military intelligence of the Cordillera Territory intending to challenge the authority of our Cordillera Territory? I need both of you to give us an explanation. ”
Stilwell. Pang Sen didn't want to talk too much nonsense with the other party, and if it wasn't for the sake of being famous, he would prefer to use assassination, but this could easily cause panic.
"Your Excellency, isn't it a little excessive, let's just take a casual walk and take a look, is this a violation of the decree of your lord's mansion?" The magician on the right seemed to smile and asked, "Your lord is also a little too domineering. ”
"Humph! What you have done has been testified, and I have recorded a magical video, and you cannot deny it with your skillful words. If you're lucky, maybe the court won't give you a heavy sentence. ”
"What if we don't want to go with you? What are you going to do? The magician on the left asked in a mocking voice, "We came to Yamaguchi Castle for our own business, and we can't let us let go of our own affairs just because of your words, right?" ”
"Presumptuous!"
Stilwell. A flash of anger flashed on Pang Sen's face, he could hear the uninhibited and sarcastic in the other party's words, that is, he didn't put himself in his eyes at all, even though the two in front of him were not simple, but Murong Xianxian had already made up his mind in his heart that he would never tolerate the other party being so arrogant in front of him, "If the two of you are not willing to cooperate, then I have to change a not very pleasant way to invite the two to the police station." ”
"Oh, is it? We would love to see how you treat us in an unpleasant way. As soon as the words fell, the two magicians flew backwards, obviously not wanting Stilwell. Ponson has a chance to fight in close combat.
"Toast and don't eat and drink!"
Stilwell. Pang Sen's figure rushed forward, like a predatory snake, and pounced on the magician on the left.
The magician was clearly prepared, and a magic shield appeared in front of him, and a red ray shot at Stilwell. Ponson, 'Blazing Ray'!
The attack route was blocked, and the opponent counterattacked, which shows that the enemy in front of him has extremely rich combat experience. Stilwell. Pang Sen no longer dared to underestimate the other party, and did not attack strongly, but dodged this attack in time.
The scorching ray isn't too powerful a magic if Stilwell. Pang Sen's release of the Dou Ring is not a threat to him. However, the other party has two magicians, and releasing the Dou Ring too early will put him on the disadvantageous side, and the other party has released two magic cleanly at the beginning, and in the case of no success in the attack, he would rather adopt evasive tactics.
Dodge the opponent's 'Heat Ray' attack, Stilwell. Pang Sen's heart was already full of killing intent, his figure flickered, and he appeared behind the other party, and the thin stabbing sword cut a bright light, piercing the opponent's capture. However, he immediately noticed that the situation was different, the sword light pierced into the back of the opponent's head, but there was no texture, and there was no blood spilled. Pang Sen immediately realized that this was an illusion cast by the other party. At this time, another magician also began to cast a spell, and there was a wave of magic in the air, a wave of heat rolling, and a fireball shot at Stilwell, who had retreated. Ponson.
The fire magic seemed to raise the temperature of the entire space several times, so hot that people sweated profusely, and the fireballs that shot out brought a whimper-like whistling sound, making Stilwell. Pang Sen was also secretly frightened, and he quickly crushed a magic gem...... A faint red shield quickly floated in front of him, just enough to block the fireballs that shot in, making a muffled 'bang'.
The red magic shield darkened in color, but it didn't collapse in the end, and Stilwell. Pang Sen also took this opportunity to fight, and the long sword brought a brilliant sword light, like a lightning bolt shooting towards the enemy.
"Ah~"
The magician who had just released the fireball technique obviously didn't expect that the other party had neither dodged nor released the Dou Ring, but actually used a magic gem to resist his own attack, and he was at a loss for a moment, and the opponent's sword light had already approached, and the Dou Qi let out a sharp whistling sound, and came out through the sword, forming an indestructible sword aura. At this time, it was already a little late to cast defensive magic, and he didn't dare to guarantee whether the defensive magic could withstand the opponent's angry blow, he didn't hesitate to unfold a magic scroll, and a brilliant golden yellow immediately came into everyone's eyes. Ponson's eyes narrowed as he continued to attack. (To be continued......)
