"Are you sure it's really okay? Barrett. Claudia lowered her voice and whispered in front of her mouth with her hand over her mouth.

Barrett said while wiping his 'broken peak' with a flannel cloth: "This is a strange thing bought with more than 20,000 gold coins, if the illusion effect is too bad, we will go back and complain with the noodles." “

"Don't mind, when I first started it, it didn't say that it could still be used like this!" The halfling wanderer, who was playing with an ordinary dagger, immediately spoke out against it.

Fortunately, Rielie immediately expressed her support for Barrett: "I have studied the principle of this effect, and it is not impossible to use it for ambushes. But once the war starts, both us and this strange object will be exposed to the enemy. Barrett, you're going to have to make sure this thing doesn't get damaged. ”

"Don't worry! Before I came, the customer specifically inquired, as long as it is not directly attacked by siege equipment such as ballistas, ordinary means will not have any effect on it. Barrett's words were indeed a reassurance to the mage. Although she knew that this mage's secret hall could not be destroyed so easily, the price of 20,000 gold coins still worried her - to put it bluntly, everything was money.

Fortunately, the voices of the crowd were not loud, and the illusionary camouflage that spread out of this strange object could easily make it melt into the wind before it spread. That's why players can talk so calmly without worrying about any surprises. Of course, if the other party uses the spellcaster, the player's plan will naturally become a joke.

However, true knowledge is a spell that gives the recipient the ability to see things as they really are. The recipient can see through the darkness of ordinary and magic, and notice the secret doors hidden by magic; Seeing the true location of objects affected by obscurity or displacement, seeing invisible creatures or objects; See through illusion and see the true appearance of the shapeshifter; and even see the spiritual plane.

But this powerful spell is also in high demand for the caster. For the Priest, it also requires 5 rings to be able to use, and here the mage becomes a 6-ring spell. Therefore, players decided that there could not be such a powerful caster among the attacking enemies, so they developed this tactic.

Tallinnburg's embarrassing position was well known not only to Lucia's domestic army. For an outsider like Barrett who cares about Lucia's message, it's far from a secret. And judging from the composition of the spellcasters in Lucia, as well as the relationship between the government and the church, it is impossible and impossible for the other party to arrange such members in such a small place.

On the part of the church, Lucia's official restrictions on the church are relatively large, which makes their rule over the common people much more effective, but it also makes it difficult for them to get much help from the church. As for the mage, it is full of tragedy. 200 years ago, the Kingdom of Lucia had a mage organization called the "Tower Federation", but in that war it was completely bulldozed by the knights of Norhan. Donetok, where they were stationed, was also completely in ruins.

In fact, before that war, Donnetok, a city in the central and western region of the Kingdom of Lucia, had become the country's second largest city. In the beginning, it was just a small commercial town, and with its excellent location, it was a small commercial transit center.

And even one day when most people don't know the exact date, the future of the city has been changed by the arrival of the two mages. The "Tower Federation" was founded here with the help of a bronze rank (16 and above) mages and their apprentices and followers.

At the same time, the establishment of this new organization was strongly supported by the royal family of the Kingdom of Lucia at that time. Otherwise, the small organization of less than 20 full-fledged mages at that time, no matter how much wealth it inherited, would not be able to build a towering mage tower in a commercial city within a few years.

Although when building mage towers in a city, it will be fairly easy to buy basic materials and hire people. But builders can run into trouble on the part of the government. From the beginning of construction, they need to face inquiries and scrutiny from 'taxation', 'urban management', 'city appearance monitoring', 'safety assessment' and so on. Often, paying bribes, taxes, or other fees often causes these arrogant mages to temporarily lower their heads.

In addition, it is necessary to own at least one plot of land in the city before construction begins. The land is subject to change depending on the size of the city, population density, land price, etc. And for such a feudal society, the transaction of land often represented a complex review. Not to mention the Mage's Tower, a strategic facility that has the potential to influence and control the entire city.

It can be said that from the moment the construction of the magic tower began, the organization of the 'Tower Federation' established a connection with the Kingdom of Lucia. And the construction of the Mage Tower, which was supported by those in power, was relieved of a considerable part of the trouble. The benefits it can bring far outweigh the troubles that come with it. The 'Tower Federation' also relied on the convenient transportation of the local area, like a greedy monster to obtain all kinds of necessary resources, and began to expand rapidly.

By the time the last war began, the relationship had become more inseparable and interdependent over the years. In the early days of the war, the legendary spells used by this organization can be said to have beaten a dull stick in the Norhan Kingdom.

And then there was no more, and the counterattack of the Norhan Kingdom was so fierce - the mage towers of the 'Federation of Towers' were bulldozed, and the half-plane was disintegrated. The two Legendary Mages were conceptually erased, losing any chance of resurrection. At the same time, the healing and wealth associated with it were either packed up and destroyed, either destroyed in the battle and the subsequent fire.

At that time, most of Lucia's official mage training system was concentrated in the 'Tower Federation'. Then there was a series of events such as the defeat and the change of the royal family. 200 years have passed, and Lucia has not returned to the level of the year in terms of mage reserves and training - it can be said that the backbone was broken in the First World War, and she has not been able to recover until now.

So whether it's a mage who can use 6 rings or a priest who can use 5 rings, even in a big country like Lucia, he can be regarded as the number one person. Guangguang is his own central army lineage, and the private soldiers of the major lords are not satisfied, how can it be assigned to the local miscellaneous army here.

"Here, here! It should be right here. The wolf-clad creature twitched its black nose and drove it out of the woods first. In addition to the smell of the living, there is also the smell of horses. Those guys should have been here for a short time.

Although after discovering that there may be bestials among the reinforcements, the players use scent-eliminating medicines. But some of the flavors left over from before that have become a good sign. As for the horses, all chained to the vicinity of the camp, it was only before this ambush that the smell was temporarily used. Therefore, the werewolf was naturally able to use his keen sense of smell to smell the relevant smell near the original campsite nearby.

Immediately after that, the commander in the cuirass in the team immediately asked, "I'm more concerned now, where are those guys going?" Can you find it through this smell now? ”

"I'll try!" The werewolf twitching his nose as he said this, tracking any traces the player had left in the air. Soon, the team was led by the other team to the col where the players had placed the 'Mage's Vault' in front of them.

And Barrett, who had been waiting for a long time, waved his hand: "Start fighting." ”

Immediately afterward, Rielly, who had seen the soldiers leave the woods and begin to prepare spells, left and stretched out a hand. Immediately after that, a white flying object suddenly exploded in the sky above the team, and immediately after that, the juice that burst out quickly condensed in the air - a viscous net that rushed to the sky, and at once firmly stationed the troops behind the palace outside the col. Only a few lucky ones, who were quick to see and legs, escaped because they were on the edge of the cobweb.

"Ambush! We were ambushed. The soldiers, entangled in cobwebs, screamed as they struggled. Affected by this, there was also a very noticeable confusion among the soldiers in the middle and back of the group. They can't do a unified action at all, but they are stuck together to make it difficult for the weapons to be used normally - and with the level of Lucia's local troops, it is not difficult to understand that this situation will occur in the event of a surprise attack.

"What a noise! What a noise! Obediently follow my training......" Before an officer wielding a leather whip to regain control of order could finish his sentence, his voice stopped abruptly. The occasional spirited soldier in the team immediately realized that the situation was wrong and turned his head to look. I saw that the low-ranking officer, who was still giving orders just now, had an extra round stick with tail feathers on his neck out of thin air - the arrow of the crossbow was buried deep in the neck of the unfortunate bastard.

According to Lucian tradition, all officers in the army must be noble, perhaps of noble blood. The young man in front of him was the second son of the family who had no right of inheritance, so he had to go to the army to see if he could earn himself a background - and many people in the team knew the identity of this fellow countryman. Seeing this 'superior person' in their eyes being shot so easily all at once inspired the fear in the hearts of those miscellaneous soldiers. Far from alleviating the original chaos, it has become more serious.

"Well done!" Even Rieli, who didn't deal with noodles, had to praise this at this time. The Halfling Wanderer has just chosen not only a good target, but also a great grasp of timing. A single sniper strike completely undermined all the enemy's efforts to restore order.

At this time, the commander at the front of the team finally rushed to the middle and rear of the attacked team with his two cronies. At the same time, Rielly pulled out her supermagic scepter, and a powerful fireball was smashed towards the crowd behind the cobwebs.

And Barrett, who followed the fireball, raised his speed to the highest - Claudia in the back row began to activate the normal sequence of 'inertial conflict' at this time, and when Barrett stepped into the sticky and tough cobweb, these magically created entanglement obstacles, as if they had intelligence, quickly avoided Barrett to facilitate his actions.

Barrett, who rushed into the crowd, lunged and twisted his waist, and then a metal storm immediately caused the surrounding Lucia to fly with flesh and blood. A deadly arc sliced through the patched armor in an instant, soaking the Lucian blood with the armor they had used to protect themselves.

However, compared to the results caused by Rielly, Barrett's performance is nothing but a drop in the bucket. The entrance to the col was not very large, which made the already chaotic local troops of Lucia immediately crowded together - the soldiers who had already entered the col instinctively wanted to withdraw from the dead place when they heard that the rear was attacked, so as not to be dumpled. However, the large cobwebs at the entrance of the col seriously hindered their retreat, and immediately formed a crowded scene.

Under such conditions, the powerful fireball that made the stones on the edge of the col red and softened, bloomed with its own scorching power. Barrett heard a 'heartbreaking' wail, and the smell of a large amount of protein being charred over a charcoal fire. The huge damage in front of him blew up those Lucia people one by one. At the same time, it makes them instinctively want to flee in all directions.

This created further confusion, causing further casualties to the Lucians in the aftermath of the fireball. The severe pain of the carbonized skin falling from the collision caused several Lucians to fall to the ground unsteadily. But their companions didn't care about these comrades-in-arms, and under the dual effect of survival instinct and fear, they stepped on it directly.

The Lucia soldier, who had only half a life left under the fireball, completely lost the chance to save himself under the push and trampling of his companions. Some of the remaining ones fled into the col, while others fled in a panic, only to be caught in cobwebs. Those already brittle skin were completely peeled off by cobwebs because of the struggle—and in the blink of an eye, there was a series of pig-killing roars. (To be continued.) )
