434 Pirates enter the urn
"Ready, they're coming." Gordon said.
Released by Guò, he saw the pirates approaching the camp along the valley under the cover of grass.
These blood-licking murderers, armed with sharp sailors' scimitars, were slumped up, but they still surrounded the entire camp with their swift and swift movements. If it weren't for the occasional moonlight reflected off the back of the knife from a bird's-eye view from the air, I'm afraid that even Gordon would have been able to spot these enemies who were obviously very proficient in stealth and sneak attacks.
"It's a shame that such a beautiful place is about to be stained red by the blood of those pirates." Ji'er stood next to Gordon, her lips curled slightly, as if she wasn't looking forward to the upcoming battle.
Gordon was busy devouring a plan to lure the pirates into the bait, and had been checking for gaps in intelligence to prevent any oversights from being discovered by the other side, and then detected by Bellamy, and finally falling short. But this eldest lady really seems to be out on an outing, enjoying the beautiful scenery of the sea of flowers all the way, and enjoying all kinds of exquisite desserts made by Gordon himself when she is tired of playing.
When it was time for the battle, the eldest lady finally remembered what was going on, and wanted to help, and went to the front line to fight, and said that she would take revenge in person, and make the evil pirate who caused her injuries and coma for a long time to pay the price.
Gordon, of course, couldn't have allowed it.
As the eldest lady of the Phoenix family, a real RMB player, Ji'er's equipment was lost long ago when she was attacked by pirates. Although she fights fairly well as an arcane knight, neither Gordon nor Sigrid, the female knight in charge of security, wants to see her fight the pirates herself.
Ji'er, who feels helpless because of identity troubles. can only honestly watch how Gordon dealt with pirates under the protection of the eight phoenix knights.
"My eldest lady, this valley will not leave by itself. Come back this time next year and you'll be there, and it's still beautiful. The traces left by today's battles will soon disappear under the action of nature. These delicate flowers will always be waiting for you here. ”
"I hope so......" Ji Er smiled, "Then again, how about visiting my house after your rule over the peninsula is settled?" My parents had other relatives. I've long wanted to meet you, the hero of the empire, the upstart next to His Majesty the Emperor. ”
"I will definitely accept the invitation of the Phoenix family." Gordon nodded.
During this period, although the process of building territory and consolidating rule on the peninsula has not encountered much hindrance. It is very smooth, but Gordon still feels that he has been fighting alone all the time, and it is not a long-term solution.
The threat from the Eisensteins was not eliminated. The other party is just busy fighting with the other two grand dukes now, so he has no time to pay attention to himself. And behind the king of Haiwen in the north, there is also the Frey family of Changxia Province as allies. Although he is not afraid of these forces, he must rely on the power of the Freeman family alone. It's a little tiring to deal with these known enemies, as well as unknown enemies that will be involved in the future.
Faria, Count Julian and others were far away in the north, beyond the reach of the whip. The Lannister family is not very interested in political struggles. And although Dorn is favored in the family, he has no real power.
So, the Freemans need new allies.
The Phoenix family is a good choice.
This is a long-established aristocrat of the Changxia Province, owning nearly one-fifth of the territory of the entire province, and the family's maritime trade is also very prosperous, whether it is financial resources, manpower, or family heritage. They are all nobles of the first rank of Ferredon. Especially after relying on the incident of the Three Holy Baptist Church some time ago, after defeating the Gribrace family, the strength has become stronger.
Gordon knew that with Ji'er's connection, he would definitely be able to get the kindness of the Phoenix family. However, it is not enough to become an equal partner in the eyes of the other party.
But he believes. Once he had unified the entire peninsula and had taken control of this piece of land the size of an imperial province, he would have enough leverage to discuss cooperation with the Phoenix family, or any other Ferredon noble.
"Alright, it's time for small talk, let's start fighting." Gordon's expression suddenly became stern.
Ji'er nodded obediently, and then retreated to the protection of Sigrid and the others. She watched in amazement as the young mage chanted a spell that lit up the night, illuminated one illuminator after another.
"It's like a holiday celebration......" Miss Jin's eyes were a little intoxicated.
The pirates, who lowered their bodies and sneaked among the flowers, were immediately stunned by these small spells shot from the camp of the distant target.
The pitch-black sky became like day, and they lost the cover of the night, and their bodies were immediately exposed to each other's eyes.
"Ambery! We are presented! The pirates exclaimed the name of the god of the sea.
Although these were well-trained and experienced veteran pirates, since every previous raid on the 6 had never failed, this time there was an accident, which made them a little overwhelmed for a while.
"Panic what!" Bellamy snorted. His massive body stood up from among the flowers, the gem-encrusted scimitar in his hand pointing forward, "Even if that ridiculous lord has already appeared with us, so what? At a time like this, no matter how much he struggled, it was already too late! The head of the enemy, less than two hundred meters from our blade! ”
Bellamy's words made the pirates wake up immediately.
Now that they had been revealed, all the attackers simply gave up stealth, all stood up, and then attacked in a loose formation.
Gordon's camp was set on a small hill and was easy to defend and difficult to attack. However, in addition to the eight phoenix knights who protected Miss Ji'er, he only brought ten other redstone guards, plus himself and the eldest lady as bait, there were only twenty people.
And these pirates brought by Bellamy are all elites who have experienced many battles, and if they are divided according to the standardized level of the warrior union, these people are at least level 7 warriors.
Bellamy's body is large and fat though. But the movements are not clumsy at all. In particular, his pet "Sand Wing", lying on his wide back, almost blends in with his owner. And when Bellamy runs, this particular vulture spreads its wings and whips up a whirlwind of sand and dust. For Bellamyca.
Soon, Bellamy, who had a greedy look on his face, led many of his subordinates to within fifty meters of Gordon's camp.
"Hmph, those lighting techniques just now really scared me. I thought the mage was prepared. This valley of the Sixtoro is actually a trap for me. Now it seems that he only happened to show up on our tracks, which is why he used those illuminations. If we really knew we were coming, why didn't we set a trap in this meadow? Don't those mages like to do this kind of thing the most? ”
Indeed, as Bellamy said. If Gordon had set a spell trap in the grass in advance, he would have been able to send a touch of the word to the fire, lightning, acid, and ice to rain down on the pirates, causing massive damage.
And the reason why Gordon didn't do it was also to keep it a secret.
He knew that he had taken Ji'er to the Sixtoro Valley to play, and he had been under Bellamy's watchful eye. Ji'er, the eldest lady, and even Sigrid and those Phoenix Knights. They were all girls who loved beauty, and while admiring the endless and colorful sea of flowers, they probably wouldn't notice that a total of five hunters appeared nearby, as Gordon did.
Although the Cistorio Valley is beautiful, there are no animals worth hunting. Those people appeared again and again, and their hidden identities under the guise of hunters were about to be revealed.
In order to avoid startling the snakes, Gordon did not immediately catch the pirate eyeliners.
Anyway, he believed, even without the help of the traps laid out in advance. It can also easily resist the attack of pirates, and wait for the large army to be assembled.
The pirates continued confidently, seeing that it would take them a few more minutes to climb the hill.
However, Gordon soon used a spell to extinguish most of the fire of self-confidence that was burning in their hearts.
He took out two Architect's Staffs from the dimensional pouch.
Yes, the Architect's Staff again.
After the battle that annihilated the cavalry of the Aldrich family. Gordon became interested in staffs, which were usually used only in civilian applications and were rarely used in military use.
This staff can build a piece of earth fortification extremely quickly, and it is very convenient to resist enemy attacks. In addition to the teleportation brooch, the Architect's Staff is probably Gordon's second magic item that he wants to popularize in the military.
Of course, the manufacturing cost and use threshold of this thing are not comparable to the small communication brooch, and his idea can only be a very luxurious hope now.
However, although it is not universal, the Architect's Staff can be very useful in battles under many certain conditions.
A few flashes of mud-yellow magic flashed, and the camp, which was almost defenseless in the eyes of the pirates, was immediately transformed into a semi-permanent fortification that was difficult to overcome.
A wall of earth rose from the ground, enclosing the entire camp.
Seeing the sudden appearance of this three-meter-high wall, the pirates were all stunned. Although they were still charging on their legs at Bellamy's urging, their minds were stuck in the same question: how to get over this wall?
The earthen walls face the pirate's outer walls, which have been specially enhanced with spells to make them hard and smooth rock, and have an inward inclination that makes them more difficult for enemies to climb. On the inside of the earthen wall, there is a row of steps. Gordon's redstone guards stepped on the dirt staircase and could easily use their crossbow arrows to name the pirates outside.
Gordon was actually able to make the earthen walls a little higher.
However, he feared that the sudden appearance of fortifications, if too strong, would completely discourage the pirates from fighting, and retreated without a fight until his army could assemble and block their retreat.
In order to stall for time, Gordon deliberately left the pirates with a glimmer of hope that they would be able to breach the fortification.
After all, these elite pirates are all warriors above level six. With the physiognomy of these people, without interference, they are still able to climb the three-meter-high obstacle with their bare hands without the help of any tools.
This kind of good thing under ideal circumstances will naturally not be born.
Ten redstone guards stood behind the earthen wall. The bolt was raised.
Although ten military crossbows are far from enough to cause such an effect as "overwhelming rain of arrows". But soon, the pirates who attacked in a loose formation realized that although the crossbow bolts were sparse, they were not bad at all.
Although it is not possible to equip all the crossbowmen in the army with enchanted arrows, it is for today's battle. It's okay to prepare some "gadgets" for a few guards.
Each of the Redstone Guards' crossbow bolts hits the target accurately with the help of channeling. And these bolts don't just rely on metal arrows to penetrate the human body. While hitting the target, it also releases a variety of arcane energy.
For a while, the screams were repeated. Blood splattered.
And Gordon didn't show weakness, found the right opportunity, and threw a few fireballs over.
This time, however, his spells didn't pay off. One is that the pirates on the opposite side adopt a loose formation, and with a fireball technique, they can't hit too many targets. Other than that. These lightly armed pirates are so agile that they can dodge the fireball technique with almost a single leap and roll.
Although this three-ring plastic energy spell is useful, it also has a number of drawbacks. For example, Fireball is not a directional spell. In Ancient Age, many players of the Wanderer class. Both of them can use the high reflex check brought by the high agility attribute to dodge the damage caused by the fireball technique.
And reflected in reality, as long as you are agile enough and move fast enough, you can dodge this spell.
And these pirates who have been scurrying up and swinging over the sea ships all the year round are as agile as monkeys, and they can dodge the fireball technique relatively lightly.
As a result, Gordon began to use single-target spells with relatively high accuracy, such as Flaming Arrows, or group-directed spells such as Missile Storm, to attack his enemies.
But mana is not infinite. So it's impossible for Gordon to be at full fire. More often than not, he changed his tactics, choosing to use a series of spells ranging from Evarhe's attack to spider web and greasy, which were used to stop the enemy's progress.
The enemy's firepower is not too strong, and the casualties are within the tolerance range, even if the progress is repeatedly slowed down by the opponent's nasty spells. But Bellamy eventually led the pirates up the hill. At this time, twenty minutes had passed since Gordon issued the assembly order.
A qiē goes very smoothly.
However, Bellamy was a great pirate in the steam seas, and he always had some unexpected means to surprise Gordon.
Originally, the mage thought that the earthen wall he had built would keep the pirates out and delay enough time. But unexpectedly, after the panting Bellamy came to the hill, he didn't care about the undulating fat belly, so he immediately raised his scimitar and slashed forward in the air.
A squeezed near-solid stance energy, emitting a blue glow, slammed into Gordon's makeshift earthen wall like a long knife.
The earth and rocks were flying, and a big gap appeared in front of everyone.
Gordon thought that the scimitar in Bellamy's hand studded with various gems was just an ornament to show the great pirate's not very good aesthetic taste, but he didn't expect it to be a magic weapon.
Next, Bellamy's action surprised Gordon again.
The great pirate raised his turnip-thick index finger and twinked it toward Gordon.
At Gordon's feet, there were immediately three thick rock spikes.
Fortunately, the mage was as cautious as ever, and at the beginning of the battle, he blessed himself with various protective spells. After encountering this sudden attack, his transparent "Touch Energy Resistance" light mask immediately turned dark brown, and then completely intercepted the opponent's earth-attribute attack without any damage.
"Spellcaster?" Gordon's brow couldn't help but furrow slightly.
Bellamy's appearance is simply too deceptive. So much so that Gordon didn't expect that such a fat man with fat cheeks and difficulty even reciting a complete spell would be able to use spells.
Mage, naturally impossible. Warlocks, it's hard to say. The biggest possibility is that this Mr. Bellamy has some kind of special bloodline in his body, so he can use certain types of spell abilities.
Gordon didn't dare to hold it up any longer, and directly summoned all the battle ice golems.
Originally, when he fought the Salou in the swamp, he had three Battle Ice Golems. This time, I returned to Seacliff Fort, worked overtime, and used the rare metals I had accumulated to build another one. In this way, in his hands, he now has four powerful constructed fighter jets.
This time, though, Ainia wasn't by Gordon's side. The ordinary ice golems she commanded weren't there. Because Gordon needed the Ice Elf Queen and her mischievous people to do something else.
After the four Battle Ice Golems appeared, they immediately blocked the gap that Bellamy had just blasted out. The great pirate, nicknamed the "man-eating vulture", did not back down, brandishing his scimitar and rushing over.
As one of the most pirates in the Steam Sea, Bellamy is also a high-ranking warrior above level 10. Don't look at him as an obese man, but his skills are quite flexible, and his strength is terrifying. Coupled with the fact that his scimitar is very powerful, it can release an air blade composed of force field energy, and every blow can cause a lot of damage to the ice golem draped in thick armor plates.
Fortunately, at this time, Gordon saw that at the entrance to the valley, the army belonging to him had already assembled and marched towards here.
At this moment, Bellamy's pet suddenly had a new move.
