Chapter 14: A One-Sided Battle
"Huh~ Amazing!" Hal the archer whistled and laughed.
Just one blow kills dozens of people in an instant! That's where the mage comes into play in large-scale battles!
The strongest and commander of the bandit group, the bald man hurriedly brandished his broadsword, "Kill that magician!" Fast! ”
It's a pity that the power of the charge has been exhausted, and the cavalry that has lost the charge advantage in the lineup of the mercenary group, although they are all the elite and strongest in the thief group, the cavalry that has lost the charge is actually not much stronger than the infantry.
And the mercenaries who were glued to this thief cavalry could not let them accelerate again, as for the peripheral thief infantry who had just dispersed to avoid magic on the periphery and had not yet had time to form an offensive attack, with the outermost mercenary blocking, it would be impossible to attack the magician hiding in the heavy defense for a while.
As for the archers in the thieves, the arrows fired are even less likely to hurt the mages in the crowd, and Ciel who is hiding in the thick of defenses doesn't even have to hold up a magic shield! Brooke and the two mercenaries who came up to help had already raised their shields in front of her, and the arrows shot from afar could not have affected her in the slightest.
It can be said that this battle is the most comfortable time for Xi'er to cast spells!
You don't need to think about any defense, you don't even need to aim, just chant magic and throw it into the crowd, so many targets can always hit a few, it's even easier than hitting a fixed target.
However, the first shot of the "Burning Earth" that produced a miraculous effect is no longer usable, because if you count the chant speed, before the next "Burning Earth" is used, the opponent's infantry team has already fought with the mercenaries, and if you use the "Burning Earth" as a large-scale attack at this time, then it is equivalent to fighting with your teammates.
However, there are other very useful spells that can be used without "burning the earth", such as ...... Small fireballs.
The previous should be the effect of the "condensed version of the prophetic potion", with the valuable experience of personally experiencing a ninth-level magic, Xi'er broke through the sixth-level magician very smoothly, as a sixth-level magician, the basic fireball technique in the foundation is of course very easy.
It was originally a simple magic spell, but I saw that Ci'er just muttered a few notes softly, or raised his hand or waved his wand, a basketball-sized fireball quickly generated next to him, and then shot towards the thieves in the distance under Xi'er's command.
Except for very rare cases, generally speaking, even the arrows shot by high-level martial artists cannot be compared with even first-level magic, because no matter how much a martial artist uses fighting spirit to strengthen the strength of the bow and arrow, no matter how advanced the bicycle is, it is still a bicycle, and it cannot be compared with a sports car, the power of the bow and arrow is fixed from the beginning, and even if it is strengthened, it is not much higher.
In terms of long-range attack power, it is still the strongest magician, which is one of the reasons why the status of the magician is unshakable, and the archer is just to make up for the lack of long-range attack means of the samurai, after all, it is also the threshold for high-level martial artists to be able to attack remotely through the fighting spirit.
Of course, this is not to say that archers are useless, after all, even if the arrow is not powerful enough to be blocked, if in a battle, two people of similar strength are fighting, and one of them is distracted to block a cold arrow, then there is a good chance that a flaw will be exposed.
After all, a mage is not a cabbage, and ordinary mercenary groups and even armies can't afford mages, but they can easily form a squad of archers.
"Quick! Rush over! Kill that magician! Seeing one after another of his subordinates turn into fireballs and fall screaming, several leaders of the thieves group have already turned red-eyed, but unfortunately at this time they have no choice but to roar meaninglessly.
Even though there are more sixth-level warriors in the thief group than the mercenary group, but with the support of Berwenvine, several thief leaders in the high-end combat power can't get any advantage at all, but fall behind, and the thief group that was dominant at the beginning can't give full play to the advantage of numbers at this time, because if the group attacks together, it will face a large-scale magic attack from the magician, and it will be directly ended, and the melee with the mercenaries will be killed one after another by a fireball that the mysterious magician understated.
The so-called defeat is like a mountain, even in the battle between the bandit group and the mercenary group, morale is also very important.
The battle began, except for the casualties on both sides of the cavalry charge in front, and the subsequent melee was basically a one-sided slaughter by the magician! A single fireball spell can basically kill a person! Even if you block it, you will be solved by the mercenaries on the side because of distraction.
Always need to beware of fireballs that may fly in the distance, of course, the combat ability will affect, once the fear of people is generated, it will definitely affect the combat effectiveness, and one companion after another around him instantly turned into a fireball and fell to the ground screaming, and there is no way to take the other party's magician on his side!
And of course, the morale of the mercenary group has increased greatly! Under the influence of each other, the battle soon fell to one side, and the main elite of the thieves, the cavalry squad, also continued to suffer casualties, and people were constantly cut to the ground by the mercenaries on one side.
"That's it...... The tide is over. "That bald man is obviously not a proud and incompetent person, and he can see the battle situation clearly in an instant. After sighing lightly, he turned his horse's head and no longer continued to rush to the mercenary group in an attempt to get close to the other mage, but broke through in another direction.
"Get out!" The red light on the bald boss skyrocketed, obviously urging the fighting spirit with all his strength, and forced back the two mercenaries in front with a single sword. Led the remaining two-thirds of the cavalry squad with their colors on their bodies to charge again.
"That's it!" The leader of Rooney, who led a small group of mercenaries to entangle the opponent's cavalry team, made a gesture of receiving, and the members of the mercenary team on the side nodded one after another, no longer entangled, but opened a small opening, allowing this cavalry team to successfully break through from the side easily.
The infantry thieves who were fighting with the mercenary group head-on in the distance saw that the main squad led by the boss had retreated, and they scattered one after another, and the thief group, which had no lineup to speak of, broke and fled, revealing their backs, and Xi'er behind him, several mercenary archers, and the mercenaries who were slightly pursuing with knives on the outermost edge were full of firepower, but in a few breaths of scattering and fleeing, dozens of corpses were left behind again.
The entire group of thieves left hundreds of corpses all over the ground, and more than half of the dead and wounded fled in all directions.
It wasn't until a thousand meters away, out of the magician's attack range, that the thieves gathered in the distance, and the voice of the great master could be heard in the distance.
"Being able to recruit such a high-level magician, Captain Rooney is really powerful!"
