The mountain road in the Momiji Valley is narrow and rugged, and it is a sheep's intestine path, especially after crossing the whitefish river beach, the mountains are even more densely wooded, and there is no road at all.

But because of this, the traces of the retreat of Ender and the others are clearly displayed.

The weeds that were trampled on, the branches that were cut down because of the hurry, the bushes that were squeezed away, and the opponents left a lot of trailing marks.

With a shield in one hand and a mace in the other, and a steel armor all over his body, Ark rushed to the front like a heavy tank.

Now he doesn't have the slightest cowardice in his heart.

Princess Anne's support, Link's devastating magic, and his own growing strength and sophisticated equipment forged the courage in his heart little by little.

What about the Syndicate? Aren't you running around the mountains by them?

Link followed him, and in order to keep up with Ark's footsteps, he blessed himself with a Cat's Swiftness, followed by Gendan, who protected Link's back, and as an archer, he was not strong in melee combat, so he also had a Cat's Swiftness magic on him.

The trio moved forward at great speed.

Ten minutes later, Ark was the first to rush to the top of the hill on the side of the Momiji Valley, standing high and looking far away, and his eyes were fixed, and he saw a group of people fleeing at the foot of the mountain in front of him, wearing brown-gray leather armor, exactly the same as the syndicate thieves they had killed before.

"My lord, they're there!" Ark gestured forward.

Link also saw that the other party was at the bottom of the mountain, there were 15 people, as thieves, these guys ran very fast, but the mountain road was difficult to walk, and they had to keep opening the way, so the overall forward speed was not as fast as Link.

Seeing the appearance of these 15 people running away, I don't know why, Link felt a little weird, it seemed that something was wrong.

Looking at the opponent, 15 people gathered together and fled, it stands to reason that they should have been frightened by his magic before fleeing, and their courage has disappeared, even if they are restrained by the leader of Ender, they should be rampant and fleeing.

But the 15 people at the bottom of the mountain escaped a little fast, but the feeling of being heartbroken and panicked was much less.

It's not so much running away as retreating. That's how the other party felt for Link.

However, this shouldn't be the case, Link put himself in the other party's position, he thought that if he decided that the foolproof arrangement was easily broken by the opponent, even he would suffer a huge blow, and then he would also run wildly.

'Are these guys not dead yet, or are there more than 15 of them, and others have set up an ambush on the road?' Link flashed speculation.

When it comes to ambushes, Link is not afraid, and the aura detection technique can easily point out where the other party is hiding.

However, since he already felt that something was wrong, Link raised his mind, he looked at his opponent again, and estimated the distance between the two sides, about 200 meters, and it was a condescending 200 meters, and his mind was racing, and a thought suddenly jumped into Link's mind.

200 meters, he has an absolute advantage in the terrain, and the distance between the thieves is very small, in this case, his whistle can definitely give the other party a big 'surprise'!

Since it's likely that you'll encounter an accident when you catch up, I'll attack right here! ’

"Ark, you keep chasing, and Gridan and I will soon follow!"

"Understood!" Ark reciprocated his unreserved trust in Link and rushed down the mountain like a tank towards the syndicate thieves below.

Link said to Gridan again, "You protect me. ”

Gridan nodded, drew his dagger, and stood guardedly beside Link.

Link's eyes were fixed on the fleeing syndicate thieves down the mountain, and he grabbed a handful of iron filings from his pocket, and the magic energy quickly poured into the fire crystal staff, and after 0.2 seconds, a red-hot metal spike appeared on the tip of the staff.

The metal spike spun at high speed, roaring, and in the air around the spike, there were circles of transparent air ripples, which was a vision of the interaction between the overflowing magic energy, the elements, and the air.

Gridan on the side watched the magic in awe, and just now, he had witnessed the terrifying power of the magic with his own eyes.

Link squinted his eyes and stared at his opponent, his mind highly focused, his mind quickly calculating the angle of the magic's attack.

For a moment, there seemed to be a double image in front of Link's eyes, and the most condensed shadow was where the opponent was currently located, and there were many phantoms in front of him, which was where they might be in the future.

Between him and the phantom, there is also a long parabola, which will be the trajectory of magic.

This is very intuitive, it can't be Link's own ability, he has a clear understanding that this must be the auxiliary spellcasting effect of the game system.

The game system is really useful, not only does it give him free points for posting quests, but it also helps him build magic structures, greatly increases his spell casting speed, and now helps him correct the accuracy of his magic attacks.

I don't know what else this system is capable of. Link will see.

The other party was still moving away, and Link didn't think much about it, adjusting the angle of the magic release according to the instructions of the phantom in his eyes, and then, without hesitation, released it!

'Hiss~' The whistle pulled out a scream and sped away, crashing headlong into the bandit below the mountain.

The distance of 200 meters is too far, when the whistle flies 100 meters away, Link almost completely loses control of this magic, and when the opponent is 200 meters away, Link can only faintly sense the presence of magic, barely maintaining the magic from collapsing.

That's the difference between magic and attacks like bows and muskets, and with bows and muskets, arrows and bullets don't matter.

And magic, its biggest feature is instability!

If you want to maintain your existence, you must rely on the mage's constant maintenance, and the distance that a magic can attack is related to the magic structure and super magic skills on the one hand, and the strength of the mage's soul on the other hand.

Of course, the soul is already a mystical category, and its strength is difficult to quantify, but with Link's current soul strength, maintaining a magic from a distance of 200 meters is already his limit.

At this distance, it is already an impossible task to control the direction of the magic's flight.

It can be said that whether this magic can hit an opponent 200 meters away depends on pre-calculation.

Link believes that with the cooperation of his game system, he should not be able to do such a very simple parabolic calculation problem.

At the foot of the mountain.

Ender was unaware of the impending crisis, and in fact, after receiving the promise of the black-robed magician to help, he was less afraid of the magician who was chasing after him.

That magician was strong, but he had an equally powerful magician against him.

What he had to do now was to follow the plan agreed with the black-robed magician, run all the way, and lure his opponent into the trap set by the black-robed magician.

When the opponent's figure appeared on the top of the mountain, Ander was not surprised or overjoyed, because the trap set by the black-robed magician was halfway up the mountain, as long as the opponent followed all the way, he would soon taste the power of magic!

In order to rush back in time to support the black-robed magician, Ander also deliberately slowed down, just waiting for the opponent to trigger the magic trap, he immediately rushed back and fell into the well.

'No one has ever made me so embarrassed, boy, you made an exception today, and when you fall into my hands, I must make you worse than dead!' Ander had a thousand torture methods in mind, and he decided to apply them to his opponent one by one.

However, just as this thought came to his mind, a voice suddenly sounded directly in his head: "Hide behind a tree immediately, immediately!" Right away! ”

This voice is urgent, the voice is very familiar, hoarse and rough, it is a black-robed magician!

Although Ander didn't know how the other party did this, he believed that the other party would not harm him, he reacted very quickly, quickly rushed forward, and hid behind a big tree with a diameter of nearly half a meter.

At the moment when he had just taken refuge, he heard a familiar howl of terror in his ears.

'Hiss~' was like a whistle, the sound was sharp, followed by a 'boom', and Ander, who was hiding behind the tree, saw a wave of air rushing over his side, blowing the grass and trees in the mountains and swaying, and he also heard a dense scream.

He quickly glanced at it, and saw a scene that shocked him, behind the tree, the only 14 remaining Syndicate Nightblade members all fell to the ground, 5 of them died on the spot, and the other 9 were all injured, 4 of them had completely lost their combat effectiveness, and were lying on the ground moaning constantly, only 5 people were slightly injured, but they were frightened, they were lying on the ground, their faces were dazed, their courage had been broken.

The syndicate thieves saw that their opponent was at the top of the mountain, and the distance was very far away, so they relaxed their vigilance, and the distance between them was a little closer, and 14 people gathered together, in fact, it was only a small group.

As a result, they were almost wiped out by Link's whistle magic.

No, it's all gone!

Ande's heart was pounding, and he just wanted to remind the injured team members to disperse, when the voice in his head sounded again: "Hide again!" The attack is here again! ”

Ander retracted behind the tree as if electrocuted.

As soon as he dodged, there was another scream, and then another violent explosion, in which shards of rubble and metal flew everywhere and crashed into the trees, 'crackling' for a while.

Unlike the previous magic blow, this time, when the explosion was gone, there was no screaming from behind the trees, only silence.

Ender's heart sank, he certainly knew what that meant, it meant that the Nightblade team he had carefully built at great cost was a thing of the past.

These people, without any effect, were all buried under the terrifying magic blows.

"Magic, is it really that scary? Or is it that this magician is terrible in itself, and I messed with the wrong people? Ander's mind was racing, and he began to question his decision.

The magic used by the other party was really much beyond Ender's understanding of magic, and under the blow of terrible magic, some of the mental energy he had just accumulated was once again defeated.
