272, Hump Fort Attack and Defense (11)
Manchado Army, phalanx of archers.
Crabbe and Goyle stood at the back of the archers, cautiously watching the movements of the defenders on the opposite wall.
Although the Earl of Bilgard agreed to continue the war at the cost of raising the price of the two to continue the war, Crabbe and Goyle also secretly had other plans. The previous two threatened not to do it was just a gesture, after all, there was still the boss above them, and it was their boss's instruction to assist the Bilgard family this time, so the two had to participate in the war. However, since the Earl of Bilgard was willing to pay an extra payment, the two of them naturally felt more pleasant. As for the sudden appearance of a suspected high-level mage enemy in Prairly's territory, it was indeed unexpected by the two, but in the two of them, as long as they were careful when they were in battle, they could still avoid each other's attacks. Therefore, Crabbe and Goyle made up their minds not to approach the front area of the battle line anyway, and it was an explanation to hide in the back position to help.
"Goyle, you're going to have to keep an eye on it." The tin wand in Crabbe's hand glows with a blue glow. This was the water system defensive magic 'Water Curtain Barrier' that he had prepared for a long time and could cast at any time. "If the other side casts the previous attack magic again, you must help me defend it."
"No problem." Goyle watched the defenders on the walls of Hump Fortress as he tugged at his collar and said, "I hope the mage on the other side doesn't have enough magic power to cast the previous spell at this moment." Seriously, Crabbe. Just looking at the power of that spell before, I'm a little stunned. โ
Crabbe understands that although his partner is not bad, he is a coward who is not responsible. When I was about to open my mouth to cheer it up, I was suddenly shocked for no reason. After carefully feeling the flow of psionic energy in the surrounding area, Crabbe felt in horror as the water and fire elements in the air around him began to activate unnaturally and dramatically. And the area where these two elements are most active is the archers in front of him and Goyle's position!
"Goyle! Hurry back! Crabbe swished his legs back, and while shouting to his companion to retreat quickly, he moved forward a little further with his tin staff, and laid a curtain of water in the distance in front of him.
Although Goyle didn't know what his companion Crabbe was suddenly going crazy, he still quickly retreated and joined Crabbe as his partner for many years. Just as he was about to ask Crabbe what was going on, he felt a chill hit his face.
Between the two of them, an ice edge suddenly condensed in the phalanx of archers in front of them, instantly freezing the dozen or so Manchado archers around them. At the same time, a cold current spread rapidly around the ice ridge as the center, and the area of more than ten meters swept by the cold current almost covered the entire archer phalanx, and both the grass and trees and the living people were suddenly condensed with a layer of frost. The archers of the Manchado army who were affected were all blue and shivering from the cold, and their movements were stiff and sluggish.
"Residence, residence...... It's actually a 'ring of ice'...... ice?! "Crabbe and Goyle, though only on the edge of the cold snap, were still slightly affected. A layer of frost condensed on both of them, their teeth chattered, their bodies trembled, and they looked embarrassed and embarrassed. The water protection magic 'Water Curtain Barrier' against ice spells of the same attribute advanced form, the protection effect is not too good. However, fortunately, the real killing range of this magic cast by the other party is only a few meters in the most central area, and the people who are recruited in the other coverage areas are only hindered in their actions, and they are not fatal.
For those who have been affected by the cold snap, as long as they are given warmth in time, they may be able to recover quickly.
Then, the warmth soon came.
A pillar of fire rose right where the ice was erected, and the heat quickly spread around.
"Boom-"
The rising pillar of fire unleashes a flood of heat and flame, engulfing all the archers of the Manchado Army who are unable to move due to the cold snap. The dozen or so people who were frozen in the area in the center of the pillar of fire immediately melted and dissipated in the flames, along with the ice edge that froze them, and the bones were gone, while the people around them could not dodge because of their stiff bodies, and they could only watch the flames and heat waves **** over their bodies, struggling and wailing with fire. Under the push and impact of the air wave generated by the deflagration of the pillar of fire, even people who were far away from the position where the pillar of fire rose were lifted and climbed. The air heated up suddenly, scorching the skin of those around them, especially those facing the pillar of fireโtheir faces were as tattered as rags under the heat, and the fluids in their eyes boiled and exploded, making their eyes a bloody hollow, terrifying to look at closely.
In almost an instant, the archers of Manchado's army were almost completely annihilated. Nearly half of the soldiers were charred corpses, and the other half were wounded for the rest of their lives. It costs much more and more time to train a full-time archer than it would be to train an average soldier, but with the destruction of these full-time archers, Earl Bilgard will not be able to form a full-time archer army for several years.
Crabbe and Goyle stared at the purgatory-like scene in front of them in dumbfounded, unable to understand how the other had done it. First, the advanced attribute ice spell 'Ice Ring' of the water system, and then the high-level fire spell 'Pillar of Fire'. Two spells with identical attributes work in the same area without the slightest elemental conflict, which is completely contrary to the principle of elemental spells.
"The other party has such strength, is it really appropriate for us to get involved?" Crabbe and Goyle had the same idea in their hearts.
However, at this moment, there was a sudden commotion on the walls of Hump Fort, and then there was a crowd of people.
Immediately afterward, there was an angry shout from the head of the city. "Rats! A shameless sneak attack!! It's just looking for death!! โ
With this angry shout, a rain of arrows flew out of the city, and the fire was concentrated on a certain part of the Manchado army under the city-
It turned out that the reason why Yang Qianyu said, 'Someone thought of it before me', was because when he came up with a way to deal with the enemy archers under the city, someone in the team had already implemented it.
Fu Bin hid behind a battlement, carefully observed the position of the enemy archers phalanx under the city, and decided to do it after making sure that his magic could cover the entire phalanx on the opposite side. Considering that his attack magic 'Frost Nova' has a wide attack range but the actual damage range is not large, he called Poplar to join forces with him to cast a combined attack. When Fu Bin used the 'Frost Nova' to completely restrict the movement of the enemy archers, the 'Flame Strike' of Poplar's backhand instantly wiped out the enemy archers. In just one round, the two of them worked together to destroy the only long-range phalanx of Manchado's army.
However, because the posture of the two of them when casting spells was too obvious, they were naturally noticed by the knights of the Serpent Knights under the city. I saw one of the giant snake knights pull out two short javelins from behind and threw them at Fu Bin and Bai Yang respectively!
Fu Bin, who attacked first, was the first to find the javelin thrown at him, and immediately pulled out the saber 'Frost Sword' on his waist and swept it head-on to block the flying throwing spear. However, Poplar's reaction was a beat slower to attack, and although she tried to dodge, the flying spear still stabbed her in the right chest, and the momentum of the spear sent Poplar to the ground.
"Xiaobai!" "Yang Yang!" The surrounding companions were immediately shocked when they saw that Poplar was seriously injured and fell to the ground, and they all came forward to check on Poplar's injuries. Wang Xi, who was closest to the location where Poplar fell to the ground, stepped forward to carefully inspect Poplar's wound, and then gasped. "It's a penetrating injury! It hurts so badly! โ
"Ah Zhao?" Liu Chang looked at his companion Yang Zhao beside him.
Yang Zhao nodded. "It can be treated, but that javelin is too much of a hindrance."
"Then pull it out." Wang Xi raised her hand to grab the barrel of the gun and was about to pull it out, but she only exerted a slight force, and saw that Bai Yang's body suddenly spasmed, and a large stream of blood gushed out from the wound, and Bai Yang's face became more and more pale because of the blood loss again.
"No!" Liu Chang said to stop: "The javelin blade has a barb, and if it is forcibly pulled, Yang Yang's injuries will be aggravated, and it is even possible to die on the spot." โ
"What then?" Wang Xi helped Bai Yang, and when he saw that Bai Yang's breathing began to get weaker and weaker because of the aggravation of his injury, he asked eagerly.
"Wang Xi, you and Liu Chang will sit down firmly for Xiaobai." Shi Jinxin on the side suddenly interjected. Then I saw him look at Li Xiang and Zhang Boyin respectively and said: "Move quickly, and start decisively." โ
"I'm fine." Li Xiang nodded solemnly.
"I'm fine." Zhang Boyin also nodded in response.
Shi Jinxin drew his long sword. "Then let's get started."
