Chapter 13: The Burning of the Earth

"Kill!" The bald boss and the strongest of the thieves took the lead, brandishing a machete and charging forward, the first to make contact with the outermost shield squad.

Whether it is Rooney, the commander of the mercenary group, or the bald boss, the leader of the thief group, they all know that although this combination of shield soldiers and spearmen can indeed cause a lot of losses to the cavalry, the impact of the cavalry is still unstoppable, and the lineup is torn open and then the infantry follows this gap and then tears the enemy's lineup, such a scene must not be changed.

After all, this kind of encounter is simply too late to carry out more defensive deployments, and on the one hand, it can maximize the role of cavalry. Whether it's shield soldiers, spearmen, archers, thieves, swordsmen, etc., none of the mercenary classes can change this situation.

As the rogue cavalry came into contact with the shield mercenary at the forefront, the long spear that poked out either pierced through the armor of the war horse or stabbed the thief on horseback off the horse, but then the continuous impact of the cavalry on the horse made the shield soldier who faced this wave of impact on the outermost edge unable to support it for long, and soon there was the first shield mercenary who could not support the screaming and fell to the side after being knocked away.

And then the second, the third, the fourth...... Like dominoes, the outermost shield mercenaries and spear mercenaries were swept away by the onrushing rogue cavalry, or they were knocked to the ground and trampled by the horse's hooves, or they were slashed to the ground by the onslaught cavalry wielding their scimitar swords.

Even though this group of thieves with dozens of cavalry could not kill too many opponents through this charge, this charge did tear a long hole in the lineup of the mercenary group, and the next step was for the follow-up thief infantry to fill in this gap, and use the melee to decide the victory of the thief group's already superior numerical advantage.

Of course, the next scene is different from what everyone imagined, because on this day, the Eagle Mercenary Regiment at this time has a class that can break this situation - magician!

In front, Xi'er came out of the carriage and the battle had begun, and then he was chanting to prepare for magic, the opponent's cavalry had already been killed, and it was too late to attack the cavalry that was attacking at high speed, but there was no problem at all to attack the infantry thieves who were following behind!

"Burn the earth!" With a low shout, a huge fireball quickly generated in the sky above, and then passed over the heads of the crowd and smashed towards the rogue infantry rushing head-on.

"What?!" "Magician?!" "How is that possible! This is at least intermediate magic! The thief cavalry that has been embedded in the mercenary formation is shocked and angry, this cavalry unit is the elite of the thief group, and the warriors of Gao Xiuwei are basically in this cavalry team.

Generally speaking, whether it is a national army or a local armed force, cavalry will be the elite of the ranks.

Compared with the anger of the thieves, everyone in the mercenary group was happy.

"Boom!" The huge fireball smashed head-on to the rushing thief infantry, and the large team of almost two hundred people charged not to say that they could turn in an instant, although it was a little difficult for the magician's magic to hit the warrior, but it did not mean that the magician's magic flight speed was slow, but the individual warrior would pay attention to the magic and always be on guard, so it would be relatively easy to dodge.

"Ahh A huge fireball with a radius of more than two meters smashed into the crowd, instantly igniting those who came into contact, and the unlucky ghosts in the center only had time to scream before turning into a cloud of ashes.

This is also the horror of the magician in the team battle, the original attack power is high, there are many targets in the team battle, and the magician's skills are not so easy to hide in the chaos, once hit, it is immortal and has to peel off the skin.

"Huh? This is?! As early as when the fireball quickly passed over the mercenaries and thieves who were clashing at the front, the bald thief boss reacted, "The one in the back! Spread out for me! Disperse! Whoever has a vindictive shield will hold me up! The bald man shouted anxiously at the infantry thieves behind him.

It's just that the group of thieves who came with all their strength didn't have time to react before they were hit by the "big fireball", which instantly ignited the most positive people, and then the fireball landed with a muffled "boom", and the whole big fireball was like an overturned oil drum, and the flames spread quickly along the ground like a tide!

But in an instant, with the landing point of the big fireball as a circular position, a radius of 100 meters became a sea of fire!

"Ahh As the fire spread rapidly, although the sea of fire that spread with the ground was not as hot as the previous "big fireball" hit head-on, it was still very easy to ignite the clothes, hair, eyebrows and other flammable materials on the thieves' bodies, even if they were wearing non-flammable armor, it was not a pleasant thing to stay in this sea of fire.

In the midst of the fire, one thief after another turned into humanoid fireballs, screaming and running around, and then fell to the ground and died before they could get far.

There are even some thieves who are knocked to the ground by their "companions" who are fleeing in a hurry, and they have to face not only the flames on the ground that are hotter, but also the trampling of their companions who are fleeing in a hurry.

The sea of fire burned for more than twenty seconds before it gradually became smaller and then turned out, and only some of the thieves who were close to the edge of the fire and some of the thieves who were desperately holding up the shield of fighting energy survived.

The flames went out, leaving the blackened corpses on the ground and billowing smoke, and some of the corpses in the field and on the ground still left a pinch of flames swaying in the wind, and the smell of burnt in the air together signaled the power of the magic just now.

"Burning Earth" is also one of Cier's common magic, and it is often used in practice duels with Vayne in ordinary matches, but there has never been a time when it has done this, and it has caused such an objective effect!

If it's a normal one-on-one battle, it's good that this "Burning Earth" can cause some damage to the opponent without being dodged! Not to mention relying on this magic to hit your opponent head-on.

But at this time, this "burning earth" was smashing into the crowd, and the original mighty thief regiment infantry was only two-thirds of the original at this time! A third of them were lying on the ground and were already cooked!

This is also the bald man who shouted in advance and dispersed, otherwise the lethality would be even greater! There are also those thieves who escaped with a vindictive shield, and this "burning earth" hit dozens of people at the same time!

However, I don't know if I saw some thieves fleeing from their magic with their vindictive shields, and they were not satisfied with the power of their magic.

Ciel frowned tightly, but her face was much whiter than usual.
