"Lord Tyral, Mentor of Lokas...... Fallen" Chen Kai turned off the broadcast screen of the online video, and at the moment when Tyral's body fell and shattered, Chen Kai knew that the high-level legendary Great Druid was dead.
"I see," Lokas replied softly, and continued to urge him to sit down on the horse that had been walking and shaking. It's just that the moment he heard Chen Kai's words, Lokas and the war horse under him couldn't help but pause slightly.
"Lord Lokas, someone is chasing and killing our people," the player mage who had been hiding his face under the mage robe suddenly made a sound, and when he spoke, his voice was unusually loud, and at the same time, as his words fell, Chen Kai also saw the face hidden under the hood of the mage robe.
A face that was so ordinary that he wouldn't be noticed if he fell into the crowd, but no matter what angle Chen Kai looked at it, he felt that the expression of that face seemed to be very similar to the soldiers following behind. If there is any difference between the expression and demeanor of this face and that of the aboriginal soldiers, it is estimated that the difference in their appearance should be tried.
"Who is it?" Lokas's murderous words instantly interrupted Chen Kai's association with that player, and the entire team suddenly stopped the moment Lokas's words fell.
"It's supposed to be a bunch of horse thieves, but I'm not sure if they're real horse thieves, at least horse thieves wouldn't have the guts to attack the regular army," the player mage slowly pulled the hood off his head, and withdrew his pale, resolute face back into the shadows.
"Do you recognize which horse thief on the wanted warrant?" In addition to this, Lokas's fingers were a little white from clenching the weapon, and the murderous aura that hung over everyone's hearts was so strong that it made people palpitate that it was also the reason for the silence of the entire team.
"No, all the horse thieves have their faces covered, they don't even answer a word, their purpose is only to kill each other and then find something on the corpse," the player replied very simply, but this simple answer cast a shadow over everyone's hearts.
"How strong are those horse thieves?" The murderous aura on Lokas's body slowly converged, and then the entire team once again embarked on a journey to the north.
"At least the fifth order... Or that the group of horse thieves who attacked our travelers had the strength of the fifth order, and the strength of the horse thieves who attacked the soldiers should be even higher."
The player didn't make any more noises after he finished speaking, and from his gradually calming breathing, Chen Kai could sense that the other party might be starting to enter a meditative state. What he wanted to do now was to accumulate a little more strength before encountering the horse thief, even if it might be good for him to add a little more magic.
"Inform all your friends and tell them to be vigilant and look for an opportunity to break through," Lokas squeezed out a sentence from between his teeth, and the player who heard his words didn't speak, just gently pulled down the hat on his head.
For a long time after that, the whole team fell silent, or rather continued the silence that had been maintained since leaving the camp. In the dark night, only the occasional starlight of clouds illuminated the ground, and that starlight was not as strong as the scattered light on Chen Kai's armor.
It's just that this kind of light not only illuminates the surrounding environment at the moment, but also makes Chen Kai the most eye-catching target in the night. At least that's what Chen Kai thought, but he had to use magic to maintain the magic light on his armor, because the environment was too dark and the vision was narrow, and the target of lighting the torch was too obvious.
Therefore, the magic light on Chen Kai's armor that was similar to starlight became the best source of lighting, but Chen Kai himself was in a very dangerous situation. The faint starlight looked like a silver light in the distance, unusually conspicuous and eye-catching.
Therefore, Chen Kai is condensing his fighting spirit all the time, ready to use his fighting qi to protect his body at any time to resist the sudden blow. Chen Kai put his ears there again and again, paying attention to the other sounds around him except for the sound of horses' hooves, because three teams that had scattered from the camp had been killed by the group of horse thieves who didn't know where they came from.
And the biggest reason for everyone to move forward and even put their hands on their weapons is that the direction and scope of pursuit of those horse thieves seem to be expanding, and it is very likely that the next target to be caught up is Chen Kai and them.
It's just that no matter how careful Chen Kai is, when he turns on the spell light on his equipment, he is destined to become the target of attack, and there is no one around him at a distance of nearly ten meters. Some just set aside ground that needs to be illuminated.
"It's supposed to be this team, right? If this time it's not the case, then we'll have to wait until dawn? "A man in black armor standing in the distance was quietly looking at a silver-white moving ball of light in the distance, and around the light group were nearly a hundred cavalrymen.
"Don't you know if you kill it?" Another knight in black armor slowly escaped from the blood-stained black scarf and brought it to his face, in fact, with the helmet, they couldn't recognize the face inside as long as they closed the helmet, but for safety, these knights in the black helmet still chose to cover their faces with a black scarf.
"Qiang" came from the hand of the knight who had just put on the black scarf, and hundreds of knights behind him drew their weapons at the same time. The starlight reflected from the sword reflected a mottled image on them, and through the starlight, they could see the black-red blood clots and flesh foam that were sticking to the armor.
"Kill" A short and cold word came out of the mouth of the black-helmeted knight, and then hundreds of knights rushed towards Chen Kai and them who were about to go away like a dark cloud. The sound of the horse's hooves stepping on the ground was neatly like a drumbeat, and the huge sound not only made people feel frightened, but also made Chen Kai and his party, who were galloping desperately, instantly alert.
The moment they heard the dull hooves, everyone thought that something was wrong with their horses. But then the sound of the horse's hooves became clearer and clearer, and there was a feeling of gradually moving from far to near, making everyone, including Chen Kai, understand that they had been embellished by someone, and it was the kind that rushed directly towards them.
With a whistle from Lokas, all the horses began to stop in an instant. Although it was very dangerous to do so, Locas had to do it again in order to determine the direction of the enemy, but when he pricked up his ears and listened, the enemy was actually rushing from the northeast. In other words, after chasing down several scattered teams, the horse thieves rushed ahead of them.
"The leader doesn't seem to be good, you have to be careful" Fei Yun's words flashed in the team channel, and he was instantly suppressed by several nonsense words. But whether it was Chen Kai or the others, they all understood that the black light was not sleeping in the tent, but riding a war horse straight towards them, it would definitely not be a good stubble, or the team of horse thieves who chased and killed them.
"Laurenham is ready to fight, Otto? Tamor bring your men to prepare spells" Lokas began to turn his horse's head in an instant, he knew that if he escaped, his horses, which had been galloping for most of the night, would definitely not be as good as those horse thieves who kept replacing their horses and rushing ahead of him. So he directly asked everyone to dismount and prepare to fight those horse thieves, perhaps after the fall of Tyral, he has been holding a fire in his heart, and at this moment the arrival of these horse thieves directly ignited this flame.
Chen Kai could see through Lokas's gradually rising face that a cold flame was burning in his eyes, a mixture of anger, hatred, and sadness.
Therefore, when those black-helmeted knights rushed towards Chen Kai and them, what they saw was not a group of panicked travelers and soldiers who were ready to flee for their lives, but soldiers who stayed where they were and were holding their weapons and preparing to fight. Especially when the leading black-helmeted knight saw the thirty or so arcanists who were guarding in the middle and were sketching out the magic circle, he suddenly had a bad idea in his heart.
"Damn, joint spells? Or war spellcasting? Looking at the magic circle that gradually dissipated the arcane light, the black-helmeted knight on his horse suddenly felt the urge to turn around and run away, but the other leader beside him seemed extremely excited.
"It's definitely them, it's them, it's definitely them," the leader yelled.
"Shut up Binis" The black-helmeted knight on his horse scolded the other leader beside him, for breaking the agreement that he was not allowed to speak during the killing, but when he finished yelling, he felt the urge to give himself an ear scraper. For he called out the names of his companions, and they shouted them very loudly.
"Kill no one and leave no one behind, if the matter leaks out, we won't be able to think about it in our lives" The black-helmeted knight leader, who knew that he had made a big mistake, yelled at the knight who was following behind, and then the entire knight group rushed towards Chen Kai and them who were standing in place at a faster speed.
At this moment, the target of the Black Helmet Knight Leader was Chen Kai, who was standing at the forefront wearing a spell armor that scattered light, and that bright armor was like a light in the night, especially his raised gesture to tell this Black Helmet Knight that he was a team leader.
It's just that the black-helmeted knight didn't expect that Chen Kai was just a player, and the real commander was the Moon Shadow Knight Lokas hidden in his shadow. At this moment, Lokas looked very unnoticed like a shadow standing in the moonlight, but anyone who ignored him would be attacked in an unexpected and terrible way.
Chen Kai could guess from Lokass's arms that were bursting out of his arms that he was holding on to his weapon hard, and when those black-helmeted knights rushed to less than a hundred meters away from Chen Kai and them, Lokas shot a huge war hammer that instantly exposed its terrifying nature, like a meteor that instantly rushed from Lokass's hands towards those horse thieves.
In an instant, it burst out like a full moon, and in the eyes of the leading knight, it was as sharp and terrifying as the scythe of the god of death, "Damn it, it's the heart of the Moon Shadow Knight Lokas"
But the leading Knight in Black Helmets didn't have time to inform his companion that he hadn't dodged the meteor-like falling hammer, or rather that he, along with the horse under his crotch and the three Knight Helmets behind him, had not escaped the attack, even though the leader had called out the name of the attacker before he died.
"The battlefield of the night encounter is open" Chen Kai looked at the bright red prompt sound of the system, and slowly exhaled a heavy breath, he smelled the faint smell of blood that began to spread in the air, and the smell of horse manure drifting over with the breeze, and then the sudden light on his body, a burning fighting qi instantly wrapped his body, and the fighting qi protective body was completely excited by him in an instant, and at this moment, the defensive resistance of his body was enough to resist the impact of about 2oo points of force.
Of course, Chen Kai's purpose in doing this is not to become a solid target, but to protect his own back, because what he wants to do now is to kill
Behind Chen Kai, a huge arcane light that illuminated the night began to rise, weaving into a huge arcane circle in midair. The 36 Arcanists stood in their positions and began to chant the unified incantation, and Xu Fei felt the arcane element that began to riot as the incantation was chanted.
Countless arcane elemental particles scattered in the air slowly poured into the circle beneath their feet under the guidance of their magic power with the spells of these spellcasters. And the force attracted by the circle was instantly projected into the sky, forming a huge rotating circle in mid-air.
According to the magic patterns of the magic circle he saw, Xu Fei could record that at least half of the magic patterns were related to lightning and thunder, and Xu Fei could infer that this joint spell must be related to arcane lightning or thunder.
Therefore, Xu Fei was very excited, and this excitement overshadowed the fear caused by the horse thieves who rushed over, because he was now casting the thirty-six arcanists who might be the arcane thunderstorm in the Legion Arcanist spell. Although according to the number and scale of the spell, Xu Fei estimated that the power of this spell was only 7th order at most, but this 7th-order spell was directly cast by a 3rd-order arcanist through the guò magic circle, and it did not require any sacrifice.
Chen Kai watched the group of followers Lokas fall into the middle of the black-armored knights, and the terrifying lightning ball felt a pang of fear in his heart, if it wasn't for Xu Fei behind him to stop him, it is estimated that at this moment, he would definitely be like the black-armored knight who was hit by the lightning ball, and became a sculpture standing there.
The arcane thunderstorm with an indiscriminate range of attacks even stopped those big knights in an instant, and only the daring Lokas dared to shuttle through the falling lightning balls and singled out the hundreds of knights with at least six ranks.
The thunderstorm attack that lasted for ten seconds not only blocked the first cluster impact of those black-helmeted knights, but also allowed Chen Kai to see the terrifying power of the group spell. That kind of different single spells only have a few hundred points of damage, and a maximum of a thousand points of damage. The lowest is to start at a few thousand points, Chen Kai saw that a black-helmeted knight who was hit by a single lightning ball was directly electrocuted into charcoal, and his tens of thousands of health points were directly reduced to zero at the moment when his brain was scorched.
"It's terrible, old 2, when will your arcane lightning have this power," Zhao Tiezhu looked at the black-armored knight who fell directly to the ground after being hit by the lightning ball, and felt a burst of fear in his heart.
"I guess I'll have it after the fifth order, right?" Xu Fei looked enviously at the mages who had stopped casting spells and started meditating on the restoration, and then said in an uncertain tone.
At this moment, except for a few soldiers and players who were left behind to protect the caster, the others followed a few big knights and killed the black-helmeted knights who were disorganized.
But it wasn't those big knights who rushed the fastest, but Chen Kai. After returning Lal to the pet badge to rest, Chen Kai did not fall behind those big knights, but relied on the skill of phantom steps to throw them behind. And the first target of his attack in front of the black-armored knight was the black-armored knights who were electrocuted into statues by the lightning ball, and the target was the guy whose name the black-armored knight was killed by Locas.
The giant sword in Chen Kai's hand radiated the same light as his body at this moment, and the strong fighting spirit slashed towards the neck of the leader of the black-armored knight who was sitting on the war horse stiffly and tremblingly. He knew that the neck where the helmet connected to the body was the most vulnerable part of the humanoids, and that it was far more fragile than the brain wrapped in the helmet.
After all, there is a gap between the helmet and the breastplate, and this gap is often well hidden by the warrior. But for Binis, the leader of the Black-Helmeted Knights who was electrocuted into a trembling sculpture, today was destined to be his death day.
First, he was caught off guard by the suddenly rising Moon Shadow Knight Lokas, and his partner and leader were killed by him with a hammer. Then the arcane thunderstorm that fell from the sky instantly hit his body, causing his body that had just recovered from surprise to be paralyzed in an instant, and he didn't even have time to use his fighting qi to protect his body.
He managed to survive the arcane thunderstorm, but at this moment, a Templar who looked like a fourth-order but was actually only a third-order slashed at his neck with a giant sword that was taller than him. Judging from the cold light that emerged from the giant sword and the condensed fighting spirit, he knew that his armor would definitely not be able to withstand this sword.
"If I had known, I wouldn't have rushed to the front" This was the last memory and thought of Binis in his head, but this sentence never came out of his mouth, and he wanted to raise his hand to block the sharpness of Chen Kai's giant sword before he died. But the last thing that the hand that was able to move was his own severed head, and the metal shavings that had been cut out of the direct gap between the helmet and breastplate.
Jumping up and slashing out nearly 4,000 points of damage did not surprise Chen Kai, comparing the position where he slashed was a vital point, but a direct slash with a knife. Even if the damage is only 3,000 points, the opponent's life will come to an end in an instant, and it will not become a monster that can fight without a head because the damage is lower than the health value.
Looking at the guy named Binis who was slowly falling down with blood spraying blood on his neck, Chen Kai's foot stomped his fallen back. The red blood fountain instantly gushed farther away, and Chen Kai's whole person pounced towards the black-armored knight behind Binis, and the giant sword in his hand was instantly raised from the side.
At this time, the giant sword was not scattered with milky white light, but with golden light, and the first slash of the holy sword appeared in Chen Kai's hand. Only this time the target was the black-armored knight who came back to his senses and was about to raise his weapon to slash over, but he was destined to follow his leader into the underworld today, and at his feet Fei Yun stabbed the war horse he was sitting on with a dagger.
At that moment, what this black-armored knight hated was not Chen Kai who slashed at his head, but the fat thief who stabbed his war horse and made him fall. Because when he was fighting against the knight, he stabbed himself in the waist and in the eye. Although this knight didn't know how the fat thief used to break through his armor and fighting qi protection, he stabbed himself in the waist of the sixth-order knight with the strength of a third-order thief.
But there is one thing he knows that he is finished, after being stabbed in the waist and eye, the huge pain directly disperses the condensed fighting spirit. At this moment, he was powerless to fight against the greatsword that fell towards his head, and he could only watch in fear as the opponent's greatsword split his cheek, and then destroy his own brain and plunge himself into an eternal sleep.
