Chapter 198: The Old Dirt Ambush

It's a damn day in the west, it's always so hot, and the sun is blazing. Even with horses, the knights above still sweat on their foreheads, and even more so the guards behind who walked on two legs.

The Messenger of Diafi led his team, carrying a letter from President Van Cleeff himself, and set out on the road to Red Ridge Mountain, the purpose of his trip was to connect with the head of the Red Ridge Mountain branch of the Brotherhood hidden there, and if possible, he also hoped to make contact with the Blackstone Orcs there, and tentatively explore the possibility of cooperation between the two sides, after all, both sides have the same enemy, and he just hopes that these filthy orcs will not completely lose their minds, and will not even give him a chance to talk, Therefore, in this regard, it is also necessary to get rid of the colleagues of the branch and make appropriate arrangements.

There are two ways to reach Crimson Mountain, one is through most of the Western Wilderness, from Westspring Fortress into the Elwin Forest, and then across the entire forest to the eastern part of Crimson Mountain, this round will pass through Flashgold, East Valley Lumber Yard and other important strongholds set up by Stormwind, which is very dangerous for the courier with heavy responsibilities.

The other is from here to the east, through the Twilight Forest to the Red Ridge Mountain, this distance is relatively short, but the danger in the Twilight Forest is greater than that of the Elwin Forest, and if you are not careful, it is likely to become the prey of the wild wolves and poisonous spiders lurking there, but relatively speaking, the forces of Stormwind City have little control over this area, and can avoid a lot of trouble. The Boss personally drew up a course of action for him, and considering the danger of the Twilight Forest, he assigned two squads to escort him, and even appointed two deputy envoys, all of whom were well-known figures in the guild. Elite mages and clerics should have no problem providing spells and healing assistance to the squad to deal with the dangers that arise along the way.

This is a recognized fat trip! When he arrived at Chiji Mountain, as a messenger directly dispatched by the headquarters, his identity was transcendent, and the branch would not be so unpopular, some small gifts and small entertainment, and even some "after-fun" programs after tea and dinner, which could also be expected. He's still very ambitious. If you can take this rare opportunity to go out and reach a deal with the Blackstone Orcs. Not to mention the alliance, as long as a verbal agreement of mutual understanding and mutual non-hostility can be reached, it will also be very beneficial to the revenge cause of the Brotherhood.

Once he had such capital. After returning to the headquarters, why worry about not being reused? Stay up for a few more years. Even being promoted to Brotherhood Elder is not so unattainable. Due to the long distance. He began urging his men to move faster, to go early and return early. His lieutenants and guards all showed enough respect for the celebrity in the meeting.

There are few major roads in the Western Wilderness. Later, after the prosperity of Yuexi Town, there were many merchants in this vicinity, and they began to build roads, but they were simply leveled and solidified, which formed some of the current loess roads, which could be used by two carriages to go side by side. Rain is scarce here, and the total amount of time it can rain in a year is not a few days, so the dirt road is enough, and there is no need to dig out large rocks from the rocky mountain, which is too slow, time-consuming and labor-intensive.

After going up the small dirt slope in front of them, and after walking a little further, they came across a fork in the road, one leading to the far West Springs Fortress, and the other to the east, pointing to the Twilight Forest. The Courier knew exactly where he was going, and so far this stretch of the road had been considered the actual control of the Brotherhood, and further afield he would have to tell the boys to be vigilant. It is precisely for this reason that he was not able to warn in time......

The three knights carrying them on military horses were the first to climb the hill, followed by the escort behind them, and when they were halfway up the procession, the people in front looked up and were suddenly devastated. I saw that on the top of the slope in front of them, three huge balls suddenly rolled down, and when they rushed down side by side, they occupied almost the entire road, and crushed straight down to them. These people didn't know that the density of these balls was actually very low, and that they were just shells, and that even if they hit them directly, the actual damage they could bring was very limited, so they responded in what they thought was the most correct way to go.

Just as the earth ball was about to press them, Dia Fali turned over and dismounted, and between the swings of his staff, he actually cast a flame blast in a very short period of time, although he didn't do it instantly, but this also surprised Egger, because this elite mage's chant was actually only about a second, which was already very impressive, and could deal with many sudden sneak attacks, such as now.

Since the large ball of earth was made entirely of clods of earth, and was covered with a thin layer of ice, of course, it could not withstand the impact of the flames, and it burst open when it landed, raising a cloud of dust...... This is more exciting than if it directly collided with something, and in a sense, the mage's quick reaction helped his enemies achieve a better purpose of raiding and harassing them.

Just as everyone was in a panic when they were suddenly obscured by the earth, two other balls of dirt collided with the horses that could not be dodged, and more sand exploded again...... From a distance, the slope was covered in raised dust.

Their nightmare has only just begun. Iger did not shy away from it, and the simple and powerful spell sound caused one strong fire elemental tide after another, and the uncensored version of the super firestorm was brewing. This was the most proficient and lethal group attack magic he had mastered so far, and it was also what gave him the courage to attack such a well-trained enemy.

The enemy was in no suspense, and then he literally took all of Egger's super firestorm in order. Three successive waves of flame blasts exploded in the dust, sweeping away with an irresistible force. Although Egger himself could hardly see where the enemy was, he didn't care about the line of sight at all, he directed the qiē himself, and he knew that the enemy was in the area where they were supposed to be.

The screams came one after another, the flames rumbled, and even some putrid gases from charred corpses came out, and the teammates who were quietly guarding Egg's side frowned, although they knew that it was not the smell of burnt human flesh, because with just one flame storm, I am afraid that it would not be enough to kill the enemies in full state, these should be those unlucky war horses, scorched and cooked after being scorched by the flames!

The three waves of flame blast came and went quickly, and this was not the time for him to breathe, so he had to chase after the poor man. The mage's eyes widened, like a hunter looking for prey, and he silently replied as he prepared for the next blizzard magic. Ignoring the fact that his vision was still blocked, he wanted to release it with his senses in what he thought was most appropriate, but a faint flash of holy light lit up in his eyes, and with almost no hesitation, he immediately locked the smaller blizzard at the location where the light had flashed.

His judgment is very fast, he will use the holy light, there are only two people on the battlefield, one is Ellie Jie, who stayed quietly by his side, she can't kindly add healing to the enemy, and the rest is naturally the elite priest on the opposite side, Egg is almost sure that this must be the opponent priest after suffering a blow, reflexively released the healing magic to himself, and the holy light will suddenly appear, and it is absolutely right to hit here.

Three waves of sharp ice picks, quickly formed, and then slammed into the ground from mid-air, like wave after wave of dense spear formations, but the sharp Cheng dù was not as big as a metal spear, but it was terrifying enough, and the momentum was amazing. After signaling to his companions that they could attack, Iger concentrated on guiding the attack of the icicle, and he even tried to guide the next wave of icicles to cover the area next to him, instead of stupidly attacking only in place, and the result was ...... He was halfway there.

Success means that he really moved the next wave of ice picks to a position of about less than a yard, which should be regarded as the first step to success, but the cost is very large, and he finds that this kind of precise control is very consuming of mental power, and it seems that the gains outweigh the losses at present. But he wouldn't give up lightly, and he firmly believed that when he became proficient in the blizzard, he would be able to master this very good spell, and he would surprise all the mages when the time came.

As waves of icicles fall and burst, the moisture density of the battlefield increases, and the flying dust begins to fall under the action of gravity, revealing the full picture of the entire battlefield.

Completely contrary to Egger's expectations, the actual result of his Ice and Fire Heavens was only 3, only two ordinary Diafi members actually died, and the rest all survived, and he should have been able to get more heads in the first wave. The most important reason is that when Egger's blizzard attacked the priest, this guy happened to dodge to the side of the team according to his habits, and this guide directly led the blizzard where Egger's range was not large enough, and led him to a place where the station density was not too large, although in addition to the priest and the elite mage, an elite captain was also covered, but there were only 3 ordinary Diafi people, of course, these 3 ordinary thieves who were really beaten by the ice and fire, It was indeed directly eliminated in the first round of encounters.

Although he was not satisfied with the kill figures, Egg was not too annoyed, and there was no problem with his previous judgment on the spot, but he couldn't predict the behavior of the other party's priest, and it was in vain to ask for full blame. In fact, Egger's output is absolutely intimidating, and he's contributed enough, it's time for his companions to do their bidding.

Ellijie stayed by Egger's side, she even stood in front of him, obviously according to the standard tactics of the mainland, if the priest and the mage exist at the same time, the priest will give priority to blocking the mage, after all, almost all priests will use a few life-saving methods, and they will resist a little beating. Some machismo Iger was unhappy, but he was also reluctant to break the rule, because if he did, not only would he not be able to convince the warriors and priests, but he might also hurt the priests. As the undoubted firepower output of the team, he actually puts a lot of pressure on his teammates, whether it is Claire or Ellie, they are eager to prove their worth and strengthen their position in the team.

If, for his own reasons, Egger forcibly asked her to retreat to the end of the line, it was definitely not a move to protect her, but a denial of her value as a priest. (To be continued......)
