Chapter 264: Scheming in the Wilderness (3/4)
Field Wilderness. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
Romoson's summoning unicorn was faster than Link's Wind Wolf, and after a few minutes of running, he threw Link more than 100 meters away.
However, he is not a fool after all, and he still understands it in his heart.
He knew that Link's strength was very important if he wanted to rescue the princess, so after he pulled 100 meters, he didn't continue to accelerate and kept this distance.
In the rubble and bloodstains, the breath of the princess's blood is getting lighter and lighter, which shows that the princess's life is passing.
He had to get to Mirda's side in the shortest possible time, yes, not a second!
The terrain of the wasteland is undulating, and there are boulders blocking the way from time to time, but it doesn't matter, the unicorn he summons is a level 4 magic spell that is very powerful and can help him quickly overcome these obstacles.
"Hey!"
Romoson controls the unicorn to leap onto a boulder, then leaps off the boulder, and continues to soar forward.
In a trance, he heard a shout from behind him, it was Link, and the other party seemed to have something to say to him.
He didn't want to pay attention, that Terran was cold-blooded, selfish, and hypocritical, and if it wasn't for the need for his strength to rescue the princess, he wouldn't even slow down and wait for him.
"The first magic genius of the Terrans is amazing? Will space magic be eye-to-eye? I'll you! Romoson's heart was surging with anger, and he no longer controlled the unicorn's speed, and was ready to run wildly.
At this moment, he suddenly heard a whistling sound from behind him, and at the same time, there were violent fluctuations in magic energy, it was magic, and someone used magic to sneak up on him from behind.
Glancing back, he saw a metal spike rushing towards him at high speed, and the magic energy fluctuations on the spike indicated that the magic came from Link.
"Link? Actually did it to me! What does he mean? Romusen was even angrier in his heart, and with a movement of his mind, he instantly sent out a shield against magical thorns.
Shield of Thorns
Level 2 Elite Magic
Purpose: Natural elements coalesce into solid thorn rattans to form a flexible shield that can effectively defend against piercing attacks.
(Note: Magic exclusive to the High Elves.) )
The green light flickered in the air, and in an instant, countless thorny rattans were condensed, and these rattans were intertwined and entangled into a thorny shield with a diameter of three meters.
The 'poof' whistle struck the shield and exploded, but the impact was absorbed by the countless rattans, and had little effect.
Instinctively, Romosen began to fight back.
The wand pointed at the ground, and a dark green light shot into the wilderness: 'Pierce poison ivy! ’
Puncture poison ivy
Level 3 Elite Magic
Purpose: Creates a clump of rattan that travels across the surface, which is very tough, extremely piercing, and has a toxin attack, which can burrow out and attack opponents at any point within 70 meters.
(Note: High Elf Exclusive Magic)
A large number of rattans passed under the dirt, stretching at high speed towards Link who was catching up.
At this time, Link took advantage of the delay of the whistle at the beginning, and pulled the distance between the two sides to about 60 meters, and when he saw the rattan attacking, he watched the changes in the soil on the ground tightly, and controlled the wind giant wolf to start dodging left and right.
'Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! There was a loud explosion, and the dirt on the ground beside Link burst open, and clumps of inky black barbed rattan emerged from the ground at high speed.
As long as Link is hit by this rattan once, even if he does not die, the toxin in the rattan is enough to make him worse than dead.
Link's eyes didn't blink, and while dodging poison ivy, he was dual-minded, and his mind moved slightly, and the Level 1 magic vector resistance force field was used towards Romoson, who was more than 40 meters away.
While maintaining the summoning of unicorns, Romoson focused on controlling poison ivy to attack Link, and when he saw that Link was hiding so badly, he thought that the other party could not have the heart to cast spells, so he did not bless himself with defensive magic at all.
But he was wrong.
Just because the magicians who practiced with him couldn't do it on Dawn Island didn't mean Link couldn't.
Dual-mindedness, or even dual-mindedness, counterattacking in defense, this is a compulsory course for every magician who has been on the battlefield, if you can't do this, and you don't want to die, you just hide in the back and draw scrolls and mix potions.
'Bang! Romosen was immediately hit by this force field.
The force field is not very strong, but it is enough to choke on ordinary people, Romoson's physical fitness is slightly stronger than that of ordinary people, but the whole person was also knocked off the back of the unicorn and fell into a rut.
His wand also fell off, and the unicorn and the impurity of poison ivy were all gone.
There was a sound of footsteps beside 'Stomping', it was the wind wolf arriving, Link sat high on the wolf's back, his wand pointed at him from afar, the vector resistance force field was in a state of intent to attack, and the translucent force field easily restrained Romoson to the ground.
Romoson looked at Link in disbelief: "You're going to kill me?!" Are you really learning the dark arts? ”
Link exhaled a long breath, only to feel that the IQ of this high elf was really touching, and he said coldly, "I'm preventing you from killing Princess Milda!" ”
Romuson was furious: "Kill Princess Milda? You fart! I'm here to save her! ”
Link's patience also has a limit, pointing in the direction Romoson was heading just now: "Is the princess in that direction?" ”
"That's right! You're going to let me go! Romoson yelled.
Link said coldly: "Nine times out of ten, there are assassins hidden in the wilderness, and there is at least one level 6 magician among them, if you move forward in such a straight line, others will know where the princess is hiding at a glance, what are you not harming her?" ”
"You are nonsense......" said two words, and Luo Musen reacted, his body shook violently, and his face suddenly became bloodless.
Seeing that he understood, Link let go of the force field restraints, and when the high elf stood up from the ground in despair, he whispered, "What are you doing in a daze!" What about your unicorn? Don't hurry up and keep going!"
"But this will reveal His Highness's hiding place." Romoson's mentality has completely collapsed, just like the collapse of the system, his intelligence has plummeted, and what he is expected to do at this time is basically in vain.
"Summon a unicorn now!" Link switched to a mandatory commanding tone.
Romoson snorted, trying to argue, but what he had just done was so stupid that he had no confidence at all, and after hesitating for a moment, he summoned the brown-black unicorn again.
Link said again: "Go, you point the way, let's take a detour!" ”
"Which way?" Romosen asked another stupid question.
Link didn't taunt him, and pointed in a random direction: "Go that way, and speed up!" ”
"Ah...... Good. Romosen honestly reversed the direction of the unicorn, and then accelerated, this time he was completely out of temper and walked side by side with Link.
Link asked, "How far are we from the princess now?" ”
"About 8 kilometers."
Link calmed down and silently estimated, and then said: "Then, the princess should be absolutely safe in 5 minutes, and after 5 minutes, the princess will be in danger, so we have 5 minutes to respond." ”
Romoson couldn't figure it out: "Ah...... How do you calculate? Are you sure it's 5 minutes? Won't the other side be confused by the direction we are heading now? ”
In order for Romoson to cooperate, Link stated his basis: "A very simple inference. I'm going to assume that you're spotted by your opponent when you run out of the territory, and your opponent will immediately deduce the princess's hiding place from your running route, and then he will immediately pass on the order. From the territory to the princess's hideout, it was roughly 8.5 kilometers, and this straight-line distance divided by the Assassin's running limit speed was 5 minutes. ”
This is a very simple mathematical problem, the shortest straight line between two points, the shortest distance divided by the opponent's maximum speed, that is the absolute safe time.
"The other party may also use magic teleportation to deliver messages." Romosen was not convinced.
"Impossible!" Link said categorically, and at the same time gave a reason: "First, I don't feel any special magic energy fluctuations around me. Second, the command is complex and ad hoc, making it difficult for teleportation to accomplish such a message. ”
"......." Romoson finally had nothing to say, and he was convinced.
After a few seconds of silence, he added, "What if those assassins were confused by what we are doing now?" This should buy His Highness some time, right? ”
"There will be some, but not much. Because if it were me, I would choose to divide the soldiers into two ways, one along the same direction, and the other half follow us. Link had already thought it clearly.
When Romuson heard this, he immediately became very anxious again: "Then in this case, why don't we rush over in a straight line?" ”
"Don't worry." Link seemed to have a chance of winning, and after walking for a while, he suddenly said, "Okay, now you turn this direction, and then, you run at full speed for a while, and then stay 50 meters away from me." ”
"But this direction is still off, and there are still a lot of deviations!" Romuson really couldn't understand Link's thoughts.
"I know it's wrong, don't hesitate, go quickly!" Link's voice became stern again.
At this time, Romoson's mood recovered a little, but it was not enough to resist Link's coercive order, he gritted his teeth and ran away in the direction that Link pointed.
After running for a while, he turned his head to see that Link had also begun to control the Wind Giant Wolf to run wildly, and the distance between him and him was about 50 meters.
This gave him a little peace of mind.
........
Wilderness in the night
"Chief, the other party just changed direction."
"Changed directions? How did you change it? The Assassin who spoke was holding two dark red daggers in his hands.
"Link caught up with the tall elf, it seemed like there was some conflict, and then it changed."
"Hehe, don't hesitate, continue to search in the same direction..... Well, send 2 more brothers to follow them, don't lose them. ”
"Understood."
Half a minute later, another Assassin returned.
"Chief, they've gone in a different direction."
"What's going on this time?"
"The two of them seemed to have a fight, and then the high elf ran forward again, and he ran very fast."
"Huh?" The leader pondered, and after a few seconds, he asked, "Is this time in the same direction as the first?" ”
"At least 20 degrees off."
"Immediately go and ask the brothers to search in a different direction, just search for the direction of the high elf now. Fast, it must be fast! ”
"Understood."
Seeing his men go away, the Assassin leader also sped up.
He was running very fast, definitely faster than Link's Wind Wolf, and after running like this for two minutes, he saw the running Elves and Link in his sight.
The leader of the assassins smiled, "Link, what's the use of you seeing through my plan?" Who called the elves an idiot, hehe! ”
After thinking about it, the leader of the assassins felt that it was not safe, the other party was too fast, and it was very likely that he would find the high elf princess before them.
He had to hold each other back and give his brothers more time to search. (To be continued.) )
