121 After the Great War
The main entrance hall looks completely different at the moment.
How many ghouls and other monsters did Amelia's tactical magic incinerate? No one can tell. All people know is that the entire hall was dyed black by the ashes of the monsters that had been purified!
That last image will probably never be forgotten by anyone.
White flames swept through the hall, and all the monsters were buried in it, and every floor was covered with the burning corpses of monsters, and every air was filled with dying wails. All the monsters wanted to run along the way they came, but there were so many of them that it was impossible to escape faster than the speed of the Holy Flame.
The Holy Flame and the Abyss are not absolutely restrained, but for the scarce abyssal power in the monsters' bodies, it is the best fuel for the Holy Flame. The gargoyles didn't know that there was actually a spellcaster who could use the Holy Flame among these warriors, otherwise they would never dare to let the monsters come out, in their original thoughts, thousands of monsters were enough to crush these bold invaders, no matter how weak the monsters were, anyway, this kind of cannon fodder was about to be as many as there were.
However, what they never expected was that this Holy Flame burned all their plans, and the growing Holy Flame could even threaten them, so they had to flee in the wilderness.
This result was not only expected by the gargoyles, but also by the members of the Black Tulip Brigade, and even by Amelia herself.
Amelia's original idea was simply to destroy the hundreds of monsters that surrounded them, but this tactical magic had finally escaped her control, draining all her mana completely.
The entire hall of monsters was wiped out, and at the cost of Amelia, who was completely incapacitated.
In the end, the players, who were roasted by the heat of the Holy Flame, looked at each other with complicated expressions as they looked at the little girl who had fainted in Minte's arms.
Battle Commander Oder was the first to react, and immediately asked the logistics team to enter the hall to start replenishing the consumption of the fighters, and then began to clean up the battlefield.
Although there were not many people who were sent back to the Temple of Reincarnation in this tragic battle, the material consumption was not a lot at all, especially for Amelia's tactical magic, everyone threw out at least ten holy water as a medium for spellcasting, and many people even threw out more than twenty, sweeping away their inventory. Of course, it's worth it.
The consumption of weapons is naturally quite a lot, even the fire has scrapped two standard long swords, and the consumption of armor is not low at all, especially the shield warriors and heavy attackers at the front, this short battle time of less than an hour, has received more attacks than in the past month. The price of armor is not comparable to that of weapons, and the price of a set of armor for a shield warrior is enough to buy a hundred standard swords.
But fortunately, there are also a lot of magic crystals left in the corpses of thousands of monsters, which can be regarded as being able to recover some losses.
The black ash is like snow, and it creaks when stepped on, leaving a footprint several centimeters deep. Not only did the ashes spread throughout the hall, but they also stretched far along the passage where several monsters appeared.
The players blocked most of the passages, this is to prevent the gargoyles from leading the monsters back to kill the carbines, and if there is another scene like the one just now, the Black Tulip Brigade will not be able to bear it. Of course, after destroying that number of monsters, there is also a lot of magic crystal income, which is not too much of a loss.
There are also players who begin to have unrealistic fantasies, as long as Amelia is there in the future, and from time to time to burn a round in the wasteland, how many magic crystals will be there?
"It's not so easy." Ode pursed his lips, "Not to mention whether this kind of monster can be encountered in the future if the opportunity to be confined to one place in the future, if the battle location is not in this kind of place but surrounded in the wasteland, I'm afraid that as soon as the spell is cast, the monsters will scatter and run away, and it is impossible to have this effect." ”
"Moreover, this spell is also very restrictive, in order to ensure coverage, Amelia has diluted the magic element to a very thin extent, and that kind of power can only deal with low-level monsters such as ghouls, and slightly advanced monsters and gargoyles have almost not suffered much damage, the so-called tactical magic, put it here can have the effect of turning things around, but the effect is different when changing the combat environment." Having been with Amelia for so long, Agni naturally understands the nature of spells better than ordinary players, "The caster's combat is based on local conditions, not as simple as it seems. ”
After listening to the words of the two, the fighters were somewhat stupid, but they also understood that what they said made sense. Spellcasters are much more difficult to learn than ordinary fighters, and even fewer can go to the front line to fight, and spells are not as versatile as they seem.
The group continued to explore the black ash left behind by the monsters.
The battlefield has been cleaned, and most of the exits have been blocked by the Black Tulip Brigade, leaving only the exit that gushes out the most monsters just now, which leads to the underground warehouse and the soldiers' quarters, and the reason why this place is not blocked is that this exit is too big, that is, it is difficult to destroy, and there are not enough props to block it, and once the monsters rush out of here, the number must be more than the number of other exits, and if the obstacle is not strong enough, it will be easily washed down.
Another reason, of course, is curiosity.
Everyone could see that today's situation was too abnormal, and in the six months that the Black Tulip Brigade had been crisscrossing the wasteland, they had never encountered a situation where thousands of monsters were gathered in such a small area.
Take the abyss army led by the Abyss Knight Lord before, the number is less than four hundred, of course, in terms of quality, it is far stronger than this time. If this number of abyssal army were to attack Heijin Village, there was no pressure, even if it was a small town, if it was only guarded by the Guardian Army, there would be great danger.
Generally speaking, demons pay more attention to quality than simply the number of low-level monsters gathered. And today there are thousands of monsters besieging at once, which is too abnormal.
So Ode decided to go deep into the passage to reconnoitre, to see what these goblins were up to, and if there was really a danger that the Black Tulip Brigade couldn't handle, then they could evacuate as soon as possible.
Agni naturally had to go with him, but Minter needed to take care of Amelia, so he couldn't come with him.
"Can't you get in touch with Head Julien?" Agni asked.
Ode shook his head, "There is no reaction at all, we have never entered an area eroded by the depths of the abyss before, and we don't know why this is happening. But I think it was probably also affected by the abyss. ”
It's not uncommon for the abyss to obscure text message communications, but Julian shouldn't be too far away in a straight line, and I don't know why. Fortunately, most of the members of the meerkat team are still healthy on the brigade screen, so there shouldn't be any major problems.
"Maybe it has something to do with the sudden gathering of so many goblins in the castle." Agni said, "You see, if we gather a lot of goblins in this direction, then the mongoose team and we will be split on either side, right? ”
"I think so too, the head of the regiment is right, this place is not normal." Ode nodded, "It's almost time to go, and when it's time for two hours, we'll need to retreat no matter what." ”
Along the way, the viscous feeling in the air became thicker and stronger, and there was a fishy smell, and the passage that should have been expected to be full of monsters and gargoyles was as quiet as the street in the middle of the night, and even the screams could not be heard.
The more abnormal it is, the more problematic it is.
