Claudia, who remained on the other side of the river, hid in the shadows behind the tree, her nimble gaze following the campfire in the enemy camp to each of her companions. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 At the same time, the two lips kept opening and closing, whispering the eternal psalms. Although the voice had barely left her delicate body, it was already muffled by the cold wind whistling through the branches. But this does not affect the supernatural power that contains the truth of all things to pry the world.

The rest of the companions, under the protection of the two spirits of 'Heart, Eye, Vision' and 'Silent Mage', carefully stepped on the ice that could break at any time due to a collision, and continued to advance towards Lucia's advancing camp. Thankfully, with the help of the Snow Boots, players don't have to worry about the ice breaking under their feet at all.

However, in order to disguise the ice blue aura emitted after the spell was cast, it was an important factor hindering the player's stealth combat. After all, if you don't use stealth spells, it is difficult to fight against the built-in light source that flashes wherever you go.

In order to solve this problem, Elli had to use the illusion school spell of the 1 ring of 'Magical Aura'. Keep in mind that the School of Illusion is Rielly's antithesis, and she hasn't been able to learn to bypass this restriction yet, and even if she uses scrolls to cast spells, she has a very high chance of failure (although the 'Rainbow Garden', an organization that helps mages advance to the next level, has a solution to this problem. But Rielly is not currently eligible to study).

So after scrapping a full four scrolls, she finished the work of disguising the aura of the spells. And this series of expenses, although much more cost-effective than using stealth, but a lot of waste also made Klaymatis, the big butler, feel a stomachache.

Accurate intelligence, careful planning, perfect preparation, and careful execution - the combination of the four allowed the Bloodstained Gray Flower to successfully infiltrate the position near Lucia's barracks. At this time, the camp, which originally looked like a hilly shadow, finally showed the general outline of the night in the pupils of the players under the light of its own fire.

Because the craftsmen who arrived were busy with bridge works, the structure of the camp was very rudimentary. The improvised barrier surrounded by horse-repellent stakes looked rather nondescript, and the standard sentry posts were not erected at this time, and the soldiers who were on the night vigil could only observe the surroundings from the campfire. Fortunately, the commander of the camp was not a man of many people, and his patrols were quite disciplined - they followed the optimized route, and they were ready to reach any unexpected point in the camp.

If the players are preparing to enter the Syrian camp tonight, the patrols that are stationed at various key points and walk back and forth will definitely be a problem for them. But the players weren't ready to go toe-to-toe tonight. After reaching the cast distance, Rielly adjusted her position slightly and chose a suitable target.

After discovering that the mage had stopped and remained motionless, Claudia immediately reversed the effect of the 'Silent Mage', allowing Rielly to temporarily gain the free Spell Silent ability. After making sure that her safety was assured, Rielly began to guide quietly with her newfound ability to spell silent.

As the spell progressed, a bonfire in Lucia's camp suddenly burned even more vigorously than before. The night watchman rubbed his eyes twice and looked at the campfires around him, but he didn't take it seriously at first - after all, the campfires in the camp were very affected by the air currents, and the flames that danced like a dancing girl were hardly enough to raise people's vigilance.

But just in the next moment, the flames that were originally only a cluster higher suddenly soared into the sky. This made the Lucia soldier who was originally on the side immediately fall to the ground in fright. Immediately after that, in the camp of the Lucians, a pillar of light burst into flames. With the scorching aura of the flames, Lucia's camp was shrouded. Instantly, it went from the cold wilderness in the middle of winter to the scorching desert under the scorching sun.

The flames that surged into the air even caused the clouds to change, and the original dull black veil began to glow red after testing—only a loud 'boom' was heard, and the top of the red pillar of fire turned into a large sea of fire. Those colorful flames are like fountains scattered around, like brilliant fireworks blooming in the sky during a festival. Immediately after that, orange and yellow raindrops fell from the sky and enveloped everything around.

The raindrops flowed into a line, and they poured down like a red horse. They were densely packed into red and yellow, and there seemed to be a curtain of fire hanging between heaven and earth. Crackling, everything around it became red and dazzling. The Lucia soldiers, exposed to the firelight, covered their eyes and wailed and rolled as if they were all out of sight. ，

Those elves who fell from the sky like abandoned fires seemed to be about to rush to the ground before they could wait for the ranking. Some of them drip into the snow like beans, and the ankle-high surface of the snow immediately appears as small crystal clear puddles, and some of them are emitting green smoke and steam. Some of them landed on the thick tents in the barracks, and sparks were ignited, and the black smoke swirled up in the cold wind. Others fell on Lucia's body, face, and hair. The scorching flame burned their skin and burned their eyes in an instant.

There are even some 'raindrops' that I squeezed you, and you slammed me into a whole ball of fireball, and smashed it down without a head. The creature was like a rude visitor, and no one knew why it had suddenly barged in, roaring in such a frustration. Suddenly, the screams in the camp were incessant.

Those Lucia soldiers were not without resistance, but most of them ordinary soldiers were simply unable to resist the rain of flames that fell from the sky. The scorched breath flew around like a flying smoke. Combined with the disgusting and strong bloody aura that permeated the air, it instantly made this place feel like a part of the Scorched Hell.

Rielly, who had completed the spell, completely exposed her whereabouts, but no one noticed the culprit in Lucia's camp, which had been turned into a pot of porridge by the rain of fire that fell from the sky. Claudia, who discovered this, left and gave Rielly a 'heart-eyed vision', which instantly made Rielly once again a little transparent that everyone ignored.

The latter, prompted by the character panel, immediately prepared to tiptoe out of the area - although Rielly wanted to stay here and watch the show, the encouragement of safety apparently suppressed the bad taste.

A series of dazzling dusts immediately enveloped the clearing near Lucia's camp and the river. Lucia's spellcasters, who had finally reacted to this sudden attack, began to use what they thought was the most efficient method to find the culprit behind all this.

Although the opponent's first round of offensive failed to find Rielly, it also added a bit of pressure to the players. The crowd began to speed up the pace of retreat to prevent the deeds of themselves and others from being exposed.

"Wow! Scalding, scalding. ”

"Help! It's hot, it's hot. ”

At the same time, the soldiers and craftsmen in Lucia's camp were in disarray, and they scrambled to flee to the outskirts of the camp that the rain of fire could not reach. Some ran with their arms over their heads to take their lives, some wrapped themselves in bedding to act as 'substitutes for the dead', and some buried themselves in the snow and rolled in vain, trying to escape the baptism of flames in this way.

Still, a handful of top military officials have shown the same level of fortitude. Most of those sparks had been extinguished before they could reach the bodies of these officers. The few who remained had at best left a few dark spots on the cloaks they wielded. The power from the 'Resistance Energy (Flames' allows them to maintain a normal mood in this environment.

"Damn! That's it! ”

"Where are those attackers? Aren't you mages usually very good? Find them out for me! ”

For the mages working in Lucia's army, the status blessing naturally prioritizes the officers in the camp. As for the gray animals, they were naturally ignored by the high spellcasters. There is a more important point. The battle is taking place at a critical time for mages to replenish their sleep. When they were suddenly attacked, the spell slots were empty. At the moment, I can only use the spell items I stored before to deal with the problem, which is naturally a bit conservative.

The astonishing scene on the other side of the river immediately attracted the attention of the sentry post. The cavalrymen who were responsible for the daily guarding work were all scrambling to organize their equipment. And the soldiers in charge of night work even drilled out of the sentry post with a scimitar and began to look for suspicious targets.

Fortunately, the route of action chosen by the players before spared a big bend, and it was not a short distance from the nearest checkpoint. Although this greatly increases the need for players to remain silent for stealth distances. But it also avoided the first wave of active reconnaissance by those Lucia soldiers after the incident.

But even if they accelerated their pace, the players still didn't dare to let go of the action and run. Because then under the light of this sky-high fire, they are likely to reveal their figures. In that case, as soon as the 'blood-stained gray flower' opens, you may usher in an unavoidable encounter.

Although there was chaos in Lucia's camp right now, even their officers could not control the situation. But the Lucian nobles, who had some professional ranks, kept their cool with the help of the mages who accompanied them. As soon as they had recovered their weapons and horses, the flames in their pupils and the camps were intertwined—but the targets of these flames of anger were the culprits of what was before them.

Except, of course, for those in Lucia's camp on the other side of the river, who still maintained their fighting power. In fact, the more threatening threat to the players is the advancing camp on this side of the river bank and the Lucia soldiers at the outpost. After all, if those guys on the other side of the river ride and wade through the water in this cold weather, I'm afraid that the horses will fall before they can catch up with the players.

However, no matter how well planned it is, it can't avoid accidents, and the sound of horses' hooves began to spread from the darkness not far away. It was apparently the Lucian cavalry, which began to disperse to investigate all the suspicious locations around it.

'Damn! Those Lucians are really fast. Looks like we've underestimated them before. Barrett, who complained in his heart, tightened his grip on the handle of the knife of Broken Peak.

"Wang! Woof! Woof! The barking of dogs arrived before the sound of horses' hooves, and while the player's scent had been eliminated with a special ointment, the other organs of the canine were more sensitive than the average human. After a slight pause, these fighting dogs, trained by Lucia Druid and the Rangers, leap into the woods - their target is Claudia, who is chanting the 'mantra'.

Although Claudia's voice sounds like it's been drowned out by the wind, dogs are able to hear frequencies that humans can't. And that part of the frequency is affected by the wind, which seems to be much smaller than the ones that humans themselves are commonly used to.

With the barking of dogs and the sound of horses' hooves, Claudia had already tightened her grip on her shield and mace on alert, waiting for the possible Lucia. Barrett, who noticed that the situation was not good, also immediately touched his heel and activated the acceleration effect on his boot. Then he crossed the river in a few steps and hurried to where Claudia was.

However, in doing so, he also exposed his whereabouts to the eyes of the Lucians.

"Whoosh!" An electric light pierced the calm river, and with a 'crackling' sound, it vaporized all the snowflakes in its path. Unfortunately, just as the lightning beam was about to touch Barrett, it suddenly deflected significantly less than 3 centimeters from Barrett's body.

The lightning that failed to penetrate Barrett's spell resistance fell short. But on the other hand, the dazzling thunder illuminated a small half of the river.
