Chapter 029: Crossfire

Eventually, the constantly radiating magic signals from Rostanford's body stopped moving, apparently locking on the "Black Scar".

The golden wings swept down rapidly, and in an instant they landed on the ground. Gaudos patted the feathers around the neck of the Golden Wings and said, "Thank you." He jumped down and joined in the direction of Rostanford.

Rostanford and the other six have regained their human form, hiding in a dense bush, while Spider Queen is lurking in the trees. Rostanford saw Gaudus and beckoned him over.

With Belia on his back, he hunched over into the grass where Rostanford and the others were hiding, and then lay down, motionless, showing good tactical qualities. Rostanford's eyes revealed appreciation, and he whispered, "You are the first magician I have ever seen who is willing to bend down and lie down." ”

Gaudus did not speak, and he still retained his basic tactical literacy after serving in the army, but he just lay down, of course.

But in the continent of Acacia, the group of mages prides themselves on being noble, and even an apprentice is proud of being a servant of a mage, and they don't even bow their heads, so how can they bend down and prostrate? That would be a taint on their mage's identity!

It can be said that this seemingly simple move of Gao Duos brought a huge shock to Rostanford, and really made him feel that Gao Duos is a guy worth befriending.

"It's just what it should do, by the way, who is 'Black Scar'?" Gaudos asked.

"The Great Shaman of the Greenskin Tribe, who is in charge of the rituals of the tribe, abandoned his original name and called himself 'Black Scar' because of a black scar on his face that ran through his forehead and chin."

"What about its abilities?"

"It is a black earth mage, and it has the ability of 'darkness' and 'earth element' at the same time, and its signature magic is 'black earth barrier', which is a two-ring magic that mixes the power of black magic and earth elemental to create a barrier around itself, which can protect itself from external damage."

"It seems that this is indeed a big fish, if we can catch it alive, not to mention 8 captives, it is 80, and the Blackskin Tribe will not hesitate to take the initiative to exchange with us."

"Yes."

At this moment, a red-tailed shrike flew over, transformed into a thin male standing in front of Rostanford, and whispered: "In another five minutes, 'Black Scar' will be within our range." ”

'How many of us are there?' How many people are there around Black Scar'? ”

"The number of troops we can put in is 40 people, including you and the people around you, and they will be assembled around here in 3 minutes. There are 30 people around Black Scar, all of whom are high-level goblins, including goblin cavalry, goblin mages, and goblin janissaries. ”

"Goblins... Praetorian Guard? ”

When he heard this name, Rostanford's pupils couldn't help but shrink slightly, and it was obvious that this so-called Praetorian Guard was the object of his jealousy.

The red-tailed shrike then said: "The number of Praetorian Guards is not large, only five. ”

Rostanford breathed a sigh of relief, the combat power of the Goblin Praetorian Guard was only slightly lower than that of the Sky Sweeping Swift Cory, the Hunting Eagle Sid, the Death Raven Mason, and the Black Canary Anna, and had the advantages of strong physical fitness and thick skin, but the disadvantage was that it was relatively bulky. Of course, this bulkiness is only relative to the Drows, who are much more dexterous than those of the Gaudos.

"Very well, in 5 minutes, I want you to enter the combat position, and then wait for my order to take action."

"Yes, Captain!"

After receiving the order, the red-tailed shrike entered the bird form again, conveying orders to the other Drow soldiers.

Soon, a team of goblins came into view.

In terms of class composition, this is a team of cavalry, mages, and elite infantry. The so-called cavalry is a group of goblin leaders riding domesticated forest boars, which are native to the forests of Turin, with two front fangs on their mouths, and are best at traversing mountain forests, so they were domesticated as mounts by the greenskin tribe.

Because of this, they also have a nickname, called "Boar Cavalry".

The Goblin Cavalry is located in an arc on the periphery of the team, mainly responsible for maintaining formation and preparing for possible sneak attacks, while Goblin Mages are located in the inner layer, and they generally have a core magic called [Prayer], which can restore 2 HP to the target cast the spell for a very short time, and can be released continuously. At the same time, each of them has a 1-ring attack magic that can be used for magic output.

Finally, there is the "Black Scar" and 5 goblin guards at the core, this pampered guy is half lying on a savage-style sedan chair, 4 tall and strong goblin guards like half-orcs are heavily armed, carrying sedan chairs in a four-cornered formation, escorting their great shamans.

There is also a tall, lanky Goblin Praetorian Guard who appears to act as an Inspector, overseeing the entire goblin team and punishing goblin soldiers for slacking off at all times to maintain discipline throughout the team.

Looking at this team of goblins, Gao Duos couldn't help but put away his contempt. This is no longer the rabble that has been encountered before, but more like a real army, they are equipped, they are coordinated, and even disciplined.

Even with the advantage of sneak attacks, this will be a tough battle.

Rostanford took off the longbow on his back, then removed an ironwood arrow from his quiver. This is not an ordinary arrow, but a magic arrow engraved with enchanted patterns, and looking at the swirling air flow of the arrow, it is obvious that it has wind magic attached to it.

This arrow is worth at least... Note that it is at least 50 gold.

He mounted his arrows and drew his bow, aiming them at the Goblin Praetorian Guard who was in the role of Inspector, and as the bowstring became fuller, the enchanted patterns on the arrows lit up one after another, like a dim glow in the night.

Sou! The arrow fires out, and the magic on the arrow is fully activated, turning into a wind cone that surrounds the sharp arrow, pointing at its target!

Boom! The Goblin Praetorian Guard stopped in an instant, standing still. Feeling the momentary and heartfelt pain, it slowly lowered its head, looking at the long arrow that was buzzing and trembling in its throat and the black-green blood that was constantly overflowing, its pupils contracted rapidly, its eyes slowly turned white, and it fell heavily to the ground.

In this way, the Wind Cone Arrow kicked off the encounter.

The sound of loose strings and arrows cracking through the air continued to be heard, and a large number of crossbow arrows and arrows were shot out from all directions, turning into a rain of arrows and sprinkling on the battlefield. It has to be said that the members of the Eternal Dark Moon are indeed very well trained, and they do not resort to aimless scattering, but work in groups of 5 to shoot at the same target in a very targeted manner until the target is killed. This method of warfare has brought about a significant increase in the lethal efficiency.

In just one minute, seven or eight goblin horsemen fell to the ground, covered in arrows of all sorts, and no amount of prayer could save their lives. On the contrary, their mount, the forest boar, lost the restraint of the cavalry, began to run aimlessly, and at this time, the fangs in their mouths became a nightmare for their own people.

Soon, a burst of flying sand began to sweep across the entire battlefield indiscriminately, this should be the earth-based 1-ring magic sandstorm, which has the effect of affecting vision, and it seems that it is intended to limit the Drow's crossbow attacks.

At the same time, a loud voice was heard, which translated into Acacia was: All Goblin Mages, pray for the wounded!

There is no doubt that Blackscar is the only person who can dictate to goblins like this in the midst of a chaotic battlefield.

At some point, Black Scar jumped off the sedan chair, and around it, a circular earthen wall with a viscous black light had already been erected. This earthen wall seems to be extremely tough, I don't know how many arrows have been shot at it, but it can only barely go an inch deep, and then under the action of the viscous black light, it slowly corrodes into a pool of black water.

This is Black Scar's signature skill, 2 Ring Magic: Black Earth Barrier.

Blackscar closed his eyes, chanted a strange incantation, and danced in a goblin shamanic dance, the ten skeletons that swayed to the shaman's robes, colliding with each other with a crisp sound like a bamboo wind chime.

Soon, the chanting and dancing were over, and with the black scar as the center, a circle of earthy yellow circular fluctuations began to expand rapidly, enveloping the entire battlefield. Both Gaudos and Rostanford felt the power of the fluctuation, as if an inexplicable feeling rippled in their hearts.

Gaudus recognized it at a glance, it was Earth-based 2-Ring Magic: Earth's Pulse. The effect is to detect enemies in a large area and find their approximate location.

A sense of foreboding rose up in Godorsma, and he began to chant and cast spells.

The pulsations of the earth expanded to the extreme, dissipating into nothingness, and at the same time feeding back the direction of those affected to Black Scar.

For Black Scar, now that he knows the general location of the enemy, the best way to save the situation at the moment is to order the Goblin Cavalry to charge. However, at some point, there were more than a dozen cobwebs on the battlefield with complex terrain! These webs are scattered in vital locations, and cavalry must break through them if they want to charge to destroy the hated Drows. However, those ownerless forest boars tried the law, but they were wrapped in cobwebs, and they couldn't break free at all.

Cavalry charge, it is no longer possible.

He opened his eyes, his deep gaze moving to the bushes where Gauldos was hiding, and shouted, "Mage, stop praying, aim at that bush and attack!" ”
