Chapter 524: Trap
After watching the Storm Lord rampage through the enemy line for a long time, Aisha finally gave up the idea of getting to the bottom of the problem for the time being, and instead began to think about how to help the dwarves.
She's not here to make soy sauce!
If you want to gain the friendship of the dwarves and thus be eligible to buy magic crystals, you must first make a sufficient contribution. But so far, Aisha's contribution has been zero.
So Aisha began to work hard to use her brain.
Dio, who was pretending to be an ordinary orange cat, nodded slightly after noticing this. However, until Aisha runs into trouble that she can't handle, he doesn't plan to make any suggestions.
said that he wanted Aisha to complete this task alone, and Dio would not take the initiative to provide any help to Aisha. He wouldn't be like Teresa and Karene and others, who wanted to temporarily lend her several trump cards that Aisha couldn't use at all.
For example, Karen actually wants to lend the Red Lotus to Aisha temporarily, God knows how she wants Aisha, who is not good at melee combat, to use the Red Lotus to fight......
Could it be that she wanted Aisha to use the Red Lotus directly to escape at a critical juncture? That's still feasible, but it's a bit wasteful, right?
Fortunately, Aisha rejected the proposal outright, so now Dio doesn't have to worry about it.
Thinking of this, after glancing at the white cross that Aisha hung around her neck, Dio, who looked helpless, had to close his eyes.
Forget it, it's better to be out of sight.
Compared to Teresa, who temporarily lent Aisha even the location of her own body, Kalian's actions were actually nothing more than that......
Aisha, who didn't know what was going on, didn't notice Dio's expression, and after thinking about it for a while, she finally came up with a more suitable idea.
“…… The dwarves are said to be quite resistant to magic, which is why rune mages are so rare in their clan. So, it's not a good idea to bless them with all sorts of enhancement magic or something. ”
Aisha, who narrowed her eyes, whispered, "In comparison, the sheepshead's magic resistance is not very good. Therefore, it is easier to directly weaken the enemy than to strengthen our own idea of time-consuming and laborious and more than worth the loss. ”
Having made her decision, Aisha began to chant loudly: "In the name of Mel, I am here to summon ......"
"Thorn Demon!"
After all kinds of special training from Dio, Aisha's speed of casting magic is obviously much faster. The Thorn Flower Demon summoned by Aisha was no longer sluggish, and after identifying the enemy, it decisively released a large number of thorn vines.
Countless thorn vines quickly burst out of the ground, entangling the hooves of the sheep-headed monsters that had gone mad. Although the frenzied sheep-headed monsters did not feel the pain caused by the thorns at all, the feeling of their feet being restrained still made them subconsciously look down.
The innumerable, thorny, stout vines immediately caught their eye.
"Huh!"
After a disgruntled yell, the sheep-headed monsters raised their hammers high and slammed them at the thorn vines at their feet without hesitation.
"Hoo ......"
"Bang!"
The sheep-headed monsters smashed so hard that some of the dust splashed blinded the eyes of the dwarven knights around them.
However, the sheep-headed monsters who smashed the hammer instinctively sensed that their attacks did not seem to have the desired effect.
If one hammer doesn't work, then another one!
The unbelieving sheep-headed monsters decisively hammered the thorn vines again, but unfortunately, the dwarves who were not blinded by the dust could see very clearly, and the sheep-headed monsters' hammer blows were almost useless to the thorn vines.
Relying on that amazing wrist strength and arm strength, the sheep-headed monsters could indeed easily hammer the thorn vines at their feet completely, causing a lot of light green juice to erupt from the broken thorn vines. But in the next moment, the thorn vine that has taken root in the soil can quickly absorb all kinds of nutrients and water, and repair its damage very quickly.
Almost before the sheep-headed monsters' second hammer fell, the damage caused by the first hammer had already been repaired.
So, the dwarven knights watched as the sheep-headed monsters hammered the thorn vines again and again, almost in vain, and then each of them had a rather strange expression on their faces.
It's a distorted expression that wants to laugh, but you have to hold back your laughter......
When the dwarven knights with long brains saw these thorn vines, they judged the best way to deal with them with their rich combat experience: either cut them off with sharp weapons or burn them with fire......
But the sheep-headed monsters who don't have long brains naturally can't think of these methods, so they can only be entangled in place by the thorn vines with hammers, and then easily opened by the dwarven knights who also hold hammers.
"Well done! Little girl! ”
Seeing this, Derk Anvil gave Aisha a thumbs up.
Although they were able to use rune stones to make up for the lack of magic power, and at the same time relied on rune stones to establish a magic school that was completely different from other races, the dwarves could not control a large number of enemy troops in one breath like Aisha. In other words, it would be easier for them to blast all the enemies of this number in one go.
No way, the rune magic of the dwarves is so simple and crude.
"Don't talk about that, Uncle Derk! Let's get rid of these demons! ”
Aisha, who had been providing a lot of magic power to the Thorn Flower Demon, frowned and said with some eagerness, "I always have a sense of foreboding. ”
Deck, who didn't know what Aisha's "foreboding" meant, raised his eyebrows and said nonchalantly: "Don't worry, rest assured!" The bear cavalry of the cast-iron fort are not fools who are not quick enough to use their hands and feet! ”
In fact, as Derk said, under the attack led by the "Storm Lord", the dwarven bear cavalry had already occupied enough advantages. And when the thorn vines summoned by Aisha entangled all the sheep's feet, the attack of the bear cavalry became even more unstoppable.
Seeing that the overall situation had been decided, Aisha's brows were furrowed even tighter, and the sense of crisis in her heart had been faintly reminding her that she must have ignored something.
After scanning the entire battlefield again, and making sure that the dwarves had completely suppressed the sheep-headed monsters, Aisha subconsciously turned her head and glanced back.
Looking at the underground passage when he came, Aisha suddenly broke out in a cold sweat when she thought of something. Without a word, she quickly summoned a small cave lizard and ordered it to quietly probe the passage it had come from with the utmost caution.
It didn't take long for Aisha's psychic connection with the cave lizard to be forcibly broken. However, at the moment before the cave lizard was sent back to the Phantom Beast Realm, Aisha, who maintained a psychic connection with it, still saw the scene she least wanted to see.
Her retreat and that of the dwarves have been blocked by another group of sheep-headed monsters!
After gritting her teeth, Aisha quickly cast a sound transmission magic, and then quietly informed Deck of the situation with the help of sound transmission magic.
Knowing this, Deck's eyes widened suddenly, and then without saying a word, he took out a very special color rune stone from his waist and threw it upwards vigorously.
Even as a rune mage, Deck still has a lot of wrist strength, which makes it easy for him to throw the runestone to the top of the underground passage.
The runestone that shattered on top immediately sent out a strong magical fluctuation, which immediately attracted the attention of all the dwarves. This particular magic fluctuation is familiar to all dwarves: it is a magic fluctuation created by some specially made runestones specially designed to notify the emergency**, so everyone is starting to pay attention to what Delk has to say. Unfortunately, before Delk could explain the situation, there was a rather jumble of footsteps and shouts that they were already familiar with in the underground passage where they had come.
"Huh!"
Perhaps it was the cave lizards that Aisha sent that caught the attention of the people behind it, or maybe the people behind the scenes felt that the time had come......
In short, the mastermind behind the scenes chose to let another group of sheep-headed monsters attack at this time. At this time, the bear cavalry was still entangled with the previous sheep-headed monsters.
This made many bear cavalrymen who felt bad suddenly break out in a cold sweat on their foreheads.
"Everyone, listen to orders!"
At the critical moment, the "Storm Lord" spoke, and under the influence of the wind elemental, his words resounded directly in the small clearing at the end of the underground passage: "Don't entangle with the remaining sheep-headed monsters anymore!" Army! Break through the enemy line as fast as you can! ”
"Oh!"
With the "Storm Lord" speaking, the bear cavalry, who were originally a little panicked in their hearts, suddenly cheered up and quickly followed behind the "Storm Lord" and launched an offensive against the sheep-headed monsters.
As Aisha's thorn vines were still trying to bind the sheep's feet, the Bear Cavalry quickly cut through the enemy line under the leadership of the Storm Lord. However, the passage that had been carved out of the enemy formation was a bit narrow, so when the other group of sheep-headed monsters arrived, a considerable part of the bear cavalry was still trapped behind.
Seeing that the bear cavalry in the rear had begun to turn around, intending to stay behind and break the queen, Aisha gritted her teeth and used her summoning spell with all her might.
A huge magic array quickly appeared in front of Aisha's body, and the next moment, a tall figure appeared from it and appeared in front of Aisha.
Bart did not speak to Aisha when he appeared directly in "shelling mode", and after scanning the entire battlefield as quickly as possible with various detectors, Bart who was sure of my friend and foe came out of his mouth.
“…… Apply to lift the restrictions! ”
"Energy Output Limit...... Relieve! ”
"Target Lock - Full Launch!"
The next moment, Bart, who had already opened all the muzzles and muzzles of the guns on his body, began to fire with all his might.
"Bang Bang Bang ......"
"Dada......"
"Bang! Bang! Bang......"
An uncountable number of shells, missiles, bullets, grenades, rockets and other explosives were thrown directly at the sheep-headed monsters who had just arrived.
Although he hasn't gone crazy at the sight of blood, the sheep-headed monster is still quite belligerent. So they didn't have any fear, and they just met the incoming ammunition with their flesh and blood.
The flames generated by the endless explosions immediately engulfed the sheep's heads at the front, and the smoke and dust kicked up by the explosions immediately obscured the sight of both sides.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, the remaining bear cavalry quickly rushed out of the enemy formation, and then lined up behind the "Storm Lord" with their companions.
In the process, they would look at Aisha twice from time to time, their eyes full of surprise. However, the good discipline kept them calm and did not ask questions at this time.
After firing all the ammunition on his body in one go, Bart, who had already begun to smoke on his body, disappeared directly into the magic circle without talking to Aisha. After Bart left, Aisha snorted, and the thorn vines that entangled the sheepshead's feet quickly disappeared as the thorn flower demon left.
"Huh!"
The freed sheep-headed monsters wanted to continue fighting, but when a majestic sheep chirp came from the smoke and dust, these blood-red sheep-headed monsters seemed to have regained some sense, and they obediently turned around and walked into the smoke and dust.
When the dust settled, Aisha and all the dwarves saw it, and all the sheep-headed monsters stood silently behind one of the tallest, dark black sheep-headed monsters with a little blood on their skin.
Unlike the other sheep-headed monsters, this existence suspected to be the leader of the sheep-headed monsters is actually dual-wielding two long-handled war hammers!
"That's what it is...... Their leader? ”
Aisha, who was gasping slightly, whispered.
Although it was just to summon Bart out and launch a full bomb, it directly consumed nearly seventy percent of Aisha's magic power. It can only be said that it is still too reluctant for the current Aisha to summon a legendary-level existence.
You must know that Bart was originally a mechanical body with low mana consumption in summoning, and all the consumption when attacking was still borne by Bart himself, so he used up seventy percent of his mana. It is conceivable that if the current Aisha forcibly summons some legendary creatures in the Phantom Beast Realm, it is estimated that the magic power will be completely drained in an instant.
However, Aisha, who was able to summon Bart to launch an all-out attack, even in the face of some legendary powerhouses, could be regarded as having a certain amount of self-preservation.
That's why Dio agreed to allow Aisha to summon his various summons with his own magic.
