Chapter 60
At last, the second camel beast also walked carefully through the passage that seemed to them to be a single-plank bridge. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 At this time, the mercenaries in the back had almost fallen into a frenzy, and more than a dozen Howard family guard knights had fallen under their frenzied attacks. And they themselves were not much better, and the horses they had stolen would soon be snatched by their companions, and the group almost fell into hysteria and killed each other.
Master Dundell had to admit that he was wrong. In fact, before he decided to gather the other caravans, the Vender mage asked him if he was really sure that gathering a group of strangers in the midst of a crisis was the right choice. At that time, he thought it was strange that the great external pressure was not the perfect factor to increase cohesion, and that the sense of honor of being a nobleman of Oroyosta, the pride of a mage, he felt that he could not leave these innocent merchants and guards behind. Only now did he know that he was really naïve.
The smoke and dust raised around have basically subsided, and the dwarves and soldiers of the Northern Legion who have been disrupted are noisily shouting and re-encircling them, but fortunately, the Howard family's guard knights have basically broken through the barrier now, and now as long as they sprint with all their strength, there is no hope of breaking through.
But a figure descended from the sky and stopped at the front of the procession, the little mage who had been flying in the sky. He held an arcane scroll in his hand, the arcane fluctuations emitted on it were deep and distant, and Mage Dundell was sure that this was another arcane scroll involving the seven rings of the law level, and it was in a semi-excited state, maybe as long as it was a syllable and an action, the arcane formula that had been compiled inside would erupt out, and evolve the proper spell form in the magic web.
"I used to think that mages had a noble heart, or at least they should have. But knowing that today I realized that maybe I was too naïve. ”
Master Dundell straightened his somewhat disheveled appearance and hair, and looked at the small mage in front of him, who was ready to go. There was chaos around and behind him, but now that the mage was in front of him, it was useless to panic.
"I used to think that the goal of Revival was great. The revival of the Arcane, the revival of the Empire, the dream of the Arcane, this should be the dream in the heart of every Arcanist. With such a great goal, I think it's understandable that even if their actions are sometimes a little too extreme. I even thought that if I could meet the monks of the Revival Society, I could donate to them...... Thankfully, I didn't, because I couldn't accept that a noble mage would collude with these vile and greedy legionnaires and dwarves to kill a bunch of innocent merchants. No matter how sacred and great their professed goals may be, this does not disguise the vileness of their actions. And it is impossible to achieve any great goal with despicable means, just like the limbs of a cockroach, no matter how large they are, they cannot be spliced together into a dragon. ”
If it is possible that a previous seven-ring arcane scroll was accidentally lost from the Renaissance Society, then the mage in front of him has taken out an equally powerful law arcane scroll, coupled with the arcane attainments that this mage has previously displayed that is not commensurate with his age, then there is no doubt about the answer. At this time, Master Dundell almost had no hope of escaping, and the uneasiness in his heart calmed down.
The corners of Stephanie's eyes twitched. She couldn't deny the words of the mage in front of her, and it was true that the Revival Society had not specifically planned this conspiracy, and she only intervened for another temporary reason, and she also felt unacceptable that these dwarves and legionnaires were actually trying to assassinate an imperial nobleman.
But now was certainly not the time to explain to the mage slowly, she seemed to be staring straight ahead, but in fact, almost all of her attention was on the scene coming from the arcane eye in her pupils, and the western mage was still floating at a height of a hundred meters, staring down like a predatory vulture. She reluctantly divided a point or two and said, "Don't make unnecessary resistance, I guarantee the safety of you and those three students." ”
"Behind me are knights who have sworn their lives to defend the Howard family, and I will never abandon them. Master Dundell shook his head. "But if you still have a little dignity as a mage, let those three children go. I can give you the key to the Academy's private storeroom, and the materials and items in it are worth more than 200,000 Okine, in exchange for your Revival Society's archmage to use arcane art to erase some of the memories of those three children......"
"Okay......" The figure above was still floating cautiously at an altitude of 100 meters, without the slightest sign of approaching. Stephanie sighed slightly, it seemed that there was no need to make a show according to the high priest's statement. Looking at the mercenaries and guard knights fighting together in front of her, she poured her mental power into the scroll in her hand and completed the last arcane circuit.
The majestic arcane energy was released from the scroll, and the law formula that had been stored in the magic net was instantly outlined, and a huge magic circle with a radius of nearly a hundred meters looming appeared in the air, and everyone in this area was enveloped in it.
The release of the arcane through the scroll had been completed, but in Stephanie's arcane vision, the man above was still floating there, as if he was afraid of a possible attack from below.
Stephanie breathed a sigh of relief. But at this moment, there was a loud bang, and a figure suddenly rushed out of the building next to it. The outer wall of the rock fabricated by the Arcane was as fragile as cardboard, which had been exposed to the wind and rain for decades, and was shattered into a sky full of dust by this figure, which did not stop it in the slightest. The figure rushed to Stephanie's side in the blink of an eye, and the wind and dust it brought out almost knocked her down.
How could it be here? It turned out to be an illusion? How did he get here? Stephanie's mind went blank in shock. But at this time, she didn't have time to react, the construction of the law arcane had firmly absorbed all her spirits, and she couldn't even use the least amount of mental power to stimulate the spell props.
But then she found that this figure was not what she had always thought, this figure that suddenly rushed out was tall and burly, with only one arm, and a hideous and simple wooden mask exuding an extremely awkward and ominous aura on its head and face, which was the high priest of the god of vengeance.
The Vengeance High Priestess who rushed to Stephanie's side didn't even look at her, just punched the air around her. With a bang, another figure suddenly took shape from the air, and it looked as if his punch had struck a man out of nothing. And this one who suddenly appeared, and was thrown out by the high priest's punch, was the same person that Stephanie had been watching carefully.
The arcane model inspired in the scroll was finally completed at this time, and the fluctuations of the law swept through all the creatures covered by the circle, as if a silent huge explosion erupted from the depths of their respective minds and bodies. Whether it was the mercenaries and the knights of the guards who were fighting with their weapons, or the dwarves who were surrounding them, even the horses and the two huge camel beasts all shook in unison, some turned into clay wood sculptures, and some simply lay down upright, and all the shouts, roars, dying moans and screams disappeared together, as if the world had been stopped by the shock of this arcane magic circle.
In addition to the High Priest of Vengeance who rushed out directly, there was also Feng Yinqiu, who was blasted out of the air by his punch. These two people are also in this magic circle, and they are still the most core position of the magic circle, but the law fluctuations that erupted seem to be just a spring breeze on their faces.
With a touch, Feng Yinqiu's back slammed into a dilapidated building next to the street. Although his breathing method of constricting his breath was obtained from the Tang Sect, it can be regarded as a first-class method in the rivers and lakes of Shenzhou, but he can't cultivate it himself, and the own qi and blood obtained from the wolf god are too strong to control. Using it together with this stealth arcane, it may not be a problem to hide from ordinary masters and reconnaissance methods, but under the perception of an innate master like the high priest, he still showed his tracks, and was actually ambushed by the high priest and punched by a sneak attack.
Directly knocked out a big hole in the wall and fell into the small building, a rancid smell that had been stored for I don't know how many years went straight to the end of Feng Yinqiu's nose, he wanted to stand up, but a short feeling of soreness and numbness made him stagnate, but fortunately, this feeling quickly dissipated under the operation of the huge qi and blood in his body.
It's not the paralysis of that arcane circle. Feng Yinqiu felt it very clearly, what that magic circle inspired was the vibration of the life force of the creature itself, and to the residual divine power in his body, this shallow law fluctuation was just like scratching his boots, which was caused by the external and internal strength contained in the high priest's fist.
The high-level stealth technique on his body actually lasted for a long time, but under the innate fist of the high priest, the magic structure constructed by the magic net on the material level was completely disintegrated. What's even worse is that the layers of layers, majestic and condensed like the essence of the internal strength continue to impact and shock in the body from the middle fist, as long as Feng Yinqiu's physique is half a point worse, it will be shaken away, qi and blood, and the spirit will be paralyzed and scattered. And this is because the intention of the high priest is not simply to kill, otherwise with the strength of his strong fist, which he is better at, this punch will break the tendons and fracture the bones, and the injury will not be light, and if it is in the critical place of the mind or heart, it may even kill with one punch.
"I gave you a chance. ”
The High Priest's voice was as low as the roar of lava surging from the ground. The wall that had just been knocked out of the hole collapsed completely, just because he had already punched at the same time as he stepped into it.
It was just a punch, but there was the illusion that the whole world was collapsing towards the place where the punch was made, and Feng Yinqiu knew that this was the proof that this old friend's innate fist had entered an extremely high realm, in the words of Euro Arcane, that is, the strong life energy and will that were driven by a high degree of combination, distorting and destroying the laws of the world within a very small range.
But this punch didn't hit the stroke Yinqiu. Feng Yinqiu's hand propped up on the ground and twisted his body, sliding out of the ground at a rapid pace in a very unreasonable posture and trajectory. The high priest's punch slammed into the air, and with a pop it was like a huge air bag bursting, and the strong wind overflowed and the air flow was wild, and the ground that the fist wind was facing was silently sunken down a large chunk, and the solid stone slab ground was directly shaken into a very small gravel and gravel by the air fist wind.
The high priest was also slightly surprised, he also knew that Feng Yinqiu's light body technique was not much better than him, but this time the avoidance dexterity and treachery were not inferior to those famous masters who were good at dodging the body method, and there were some peculiarities that the simple body method did not have.
Followed by a series of punches again, Feng Yinqiu rushed out of the window next to him with a few twists of dexterity. The High Priest saw clearly this time that his movements were not completely light exercises, and several seemingly incredible turns were all made in the air without any effort, more like flying birds and insects flying in the air, just like dodging the stone projectiles he threw in the air just now, but in this room with agility and dexterity went up a few steps.
"Euro Arcane?" the High Priest snorted, and his figure flashed and smashed directly through the wall to catch up. He was not as good as he was in turning his hand, but it wasn't so easy for Feng Yinqiu to get rid of him.
But as soon as the wall broke, he was greeted by a dark red scorching ray, and a few pieces of sand and gravel dust flying in front of him had quickly turned into magma in mid-air, and the air around him was instantly scorching as if it had reached a volcanic crater, and the clothes on the high priest's body instantly caught fire.
With a loud shout, the high priest threw a punch. The condensed innate fist like a substance greeted the dark red pillar of light in front of him with a storm-like airflow, and then the light that shot out of Feng Yinqiu's fingertips quickly dimmed and disappeared in a blink of an eye, and the flame that had just ignited on the high priest's body was also blown out in the airflow, and even the clothes on his body were only burned out of a few holes.
Just like the high-level stealth technique just now, this kind of spell that simply produced an effect on the material level was directly destroyed under the innate fist that solidified the fist intent and triggered and distorted the law. On the rivers and lakes of Shenzhou, such a realm has been called 'one punch to break ten thousand laws', which is enough to open a sect and become a master of a fist method.
Feng Yinqiu sighed secretly and continued to turn around and run. He wasn't surprised that the most powerful lethal arcane he could use so far had been broken with a single punch. After the innate spirit and blood of martial arts are united, the acquired spells are suppressed, this old friend is actually extremely talented, even if the inheritance is not deep enough, he can't do it like Liu Xuanying, if he doesn't violate the weight, if he is clumsy, he will not be able to break the skill.
Regardless of Shenzhou Taoism or Euro Method, it is definitely better than fist and foot martial arts in terms of flexibility and variety, but after all, spells are to call the external forces of heaven and earth, how can they be one with the sexual spirit, and the flesh and blood essence qi that is immersed in it all the time is more durable than condensed?
And this is all too clear for both the wind and the high priest to assert themselves.
Looking at the flying sand and gravel dust not far away, the broken and collapsed buildings one by one, and the group of remaining Northern Army soldiers all looked at each other with panicked expressions. Although I can't see the two people fighting, just looking at this might, it is similar to two golems, which has long exceeded the concept of ordinary flesh and blood.
Stephanie's face was even paler, even though she actually had a seven-ring and eight-ring scroll in her hand, and the protective arcane and escape arcane on her body only needed a thought to activate, but it still couldn't give her the slightest confidence and security. This monster opponent who seems to be able to ignore any arcane arts, even legal arcane can be learned in an instant, has long since defeated a lot of her arcane common sense, and even her confidence as a mage has been faintly beaten, and it was not until she was robbed of the scroll of the force field giant hand that she was robbed of before that she was lurking around and didn't know that she had to rely on the cult high priest to pick up a life, and the last bit of confidence in her heart completely collapsed. Now what she wants to do most is to run as far as she can.
But looking at the hesitant Northern Legion soldiers around him, the bolder ones approached here step by step, more just probing their brains in the distance, and perhaps many of them had already fled without a trace, Stephanie forcibly raised her spirits and shouted: "Don't panic, the only remaining enemy has been completely suppressed by our friends! Now we are completely victorious! Now show your spirits, half of the people hurry up to treat the wounded, and the rest take out the prepared ropes and tie them all up!" ”
With the mage's words, the soldiers' expressions finally calmed down. It was the powerful arcane magic from the mage's hands that knocked everyone within a radius of 100 meters, even the fierce and brutal dwarven warriors, who were only able to escape from the previous spinner stone projectiles. But now they look around and are still a little overwhelmed. The mage's orders were too vague to be taken for granted, and he was clearly not a commander who was good at commanding.
"Captain Phoenix took the first team and the second team to rescue the seriously wounded, and Captain Reeves gathered all the other people who could still move, and quickly tied up all the guys from the caravan. The lightly wounded must also go up to help, and they must move quickly! The time for the arcane to deter these guys is limited! That Howard family mage and the three mage apprentices were directly stunned!"
Fortunately, at this time, the commander of the garrison commanded the barely movable golem to move over and took over the command. His golem had been hit in the lower limbs by a stone bullet and fell crookedly, nearly crushing the commander above him into a meatloaf. The dizzy commander couldn't get up at all for a while, and because of this, he was not within the arcane range just now, so he came over to command the overall situation.
The golem twisted its thick body, struggling to step up to Stephanie like a hemiplegic patient, and the commander above leaned his body and tilted his head, half of his body leaned out of the platform on the golem's shoulder, and asked in the lowest possible voice, "This... Mr. Mage, where is Lord Sir?"
"In the back. Stephanie glanced at the fat man, who seemed to be about to fall off at any moment, and could see the horror and uneasiness on his fat face, and added, "He's fine, just a little tired, so I'm just resting over there." ”
"Oh, that's good. The commander breathed a sigh of relief, the fat on his face relaxed, and he glanced at the dust and rocks that were constantly rising and the streets and buildings that were crumbling not far away. "That's... Well, that barbarian high priest can defeat that enemy, right? He's under our command, right?"
In fact, Stephanie also wanted to know about this question, but she still said lightly with a straight face: "That's natural, you don't have to worry." ”
"That's good. The commander nodded, and the fat on his face finally relaxed completely. "That's... How long does your law arcane last, how long does it keep these people in check? What about the dwarves?"
It was the Necromantic Seven-Ring Arcane 'Life Shock Circle', which was far from being something that Stephanie could really master, but it didn't prevent her from using her deep knowledge of the arcane to guess the approximate result within two or three seconds: "Those mercenaries are just stronger ordinary people, most of them have a life strength of about two to three energy levels, and a very few of the strongest ones can only reach the fourth energy level, and the legal life shock should have an effect on them for at least one to two hours." Dwarves generally have at least four energy levels, and generally have about five energy levels, and may even be close to the sixth energy level, so the shortest effect is only about ten minutes..."
"Oh—" The Commander's eyes widened, and he glanced around at the dwarven warriors all over the ground. These barbarians are brave and fierce by nature, even in the face of those terrifying rotating stone bullets, none of them retreated, and all of them were concentrated in the center of the battlefield to fight, so almost all of them were shrouded in the arcane magic circle just now, except for some who were injured by the stone balls before, and now all of them have been transformed into clay wood sculptures under the arcane. The fat on the commander's face suddenly turned hideous, and he pointed at the dwarves on the ground and shouted: "Then tie up these barbarians first! Hurry! Hurry! Use those special cow tendons for dwarves to bind the leashes! Recruits who have not used it should learn how to use them from those recruits who can use them, and they can't be tied like tying your leggings! Is Captain Depp still alive? Command them to tie them up first! Leave those merchants and mercenaries alone, tie up all the dwarves first!"
The order came as a surprise to everyone, but the Northern Legionnaires sprang into action. The ropes used to bind the captives have long been prepared, and the northern legions, which have fought with the dwarves all their lives, certainly do not lack special tools and special methods to deal with these powerful barbarians. These fierce short and sturdy barbarians were all full of red eyes, and their eyes were rolling wildly, but they still couldn't even move their fingers.
"What are you doing?" said Stephanie as she looked at the sinister commander. She was unaware of the details of the conspiracy and had no interest in understanding it.
The commander smiled as if he had eaten hundreds of catties of delicious food: "It is still thanks to the high-level arcane magic of the mage master that these dwarf barbarians can be taken down in one fell swoop......"
"What are you doing? You vile maggots! You are more cowardly and despicable than worms in sheep dung, more disgusting than rats drinking lizard urine!" a shrill scolding sounded not far away, and it was actually the leader of the golden stone who was still nailed to the ground. He was also shrouded in the range of the seven-ring arcane, but it seemed that he had quickly shaken off the state of being paralyzed by shock, and was now struggling to climb up from the ground. It's just that this dwarven leader is really injured, and the elementalized blood like mercury flows everywhere, and the twisted arm clearly can't use strength, and it is very difficult to climb.
"Hold him down! Don't let him crawl out!" With a wave of his hand, the resident commander immediately commanded the battle mage to move over the only two golems that could still move, and pressed the steel body weighing tens of thousands of catties against the golden stone collar, immediately making it impossible for the seriously injured dwarven leader to move anymore.
"These damned barbarians have finally fallen into our hands, look at how arrogant they are. Please go and ask Lord Sir quickly, I think that since the mission has been completed perfectly, then these barbarians are useless, it is better to take this opportunity to kill them all, their heads are all military merits, and they can use this to ask for payment from the West Coast Mage Council, and this is the one of our mission... This income can also be greatly improved......"
"I promise you'll regret it! You dung worm who only deserves to eat goat! I promise you'll regret it! I'm going to twist your flesh off piece by piece and let you eat it again! I promise!" a shrill shout came from beneath the golem, as piercing as the dwarven leader gnawing at the golem's metal shell with his teeth.
The fat on the garrison commander's face shook a few times, and his eyes showed a hideous look, and he ordered the battle mages who commanded the golems: "Dig him out! This dwarven leader is extremely vicious, and it is really a great crime to kill the officers of the legion in front of us. There is no need to ask Lord Sir for advice, take this opportunity to correct him directly on the spot!"
"That's enough, can't you wait for any more infighting," Stephanie scolded. She had no interest in the lives of these legionnaires and dwarves, but at this time, it was clear that the battle was not over, and this impatient infighting was simply unreasonable.
As if to confirm her words, the crumbling houses and flying sand and dust not far away suddenly stretched in this direction.
With a loud bang, a small nearby building shattered in the explosion and flames that rose into the sky, shards of sand and gravel were wrapped in the raging air currents and raged all around, and a few soldiers of the Northern Legion who were slightly closer were smashed on their backs. Stephanie could tell at a glance that this was the effect of several of the most destructive three-ring arcane 'bursting fireballs' superimposed.
Before she could figure out what to do, she saw a dozen figures rush out of the flames and debris and rush towards her.
PS: Thank you for your concern, my mother has recovered most of the time, and she can barely take care of herself, and I don't have to stay in the hospital all day. It's just a meal a day, and my wife is not worrying and annoying (to be continued.) )
