The shadows of the dimly lit streets were lit by burning torches, and the shadows became longer and shorter. As the footsteps of those invaders approached, these shadows became fading and even appeared in several different directions. There is no sign of neatness in the chaotic footsteps of "popping", and the high and low torches are like a rolling mountain.

These barbarians from the Mammoth Dynasty soon occupied the small square in front of the temple of the 'Goddess of Wealth and Commerce'. The torches crowded together instantly dispelled all the darkness around them, and the mansions near the square could be seen in the middle of the night. The barbarians of the Mammoth Dynasty were still human after all - they had not been able to evolve a pair of infrared pupils that could see at night, so they relied on the light source of fire during night battles.

Barrett, who was located at the observation gate on the second floor of the temple, looked at the enemies in the square who could barely tell the difference, and for a moment he really couldn't find a suitable target. Nuhar, the Mastodon commander who organized the attack, was very cunning. Although in the style of the Mammoth Dynasty, the team in front of them cannot achieve complete uniformity of weapons and equipment. But Nohar pieced them together as close as possible.

In this way, it is not easy for anyone who wants to find leaders from them at first glance, as long as they are not really familiar with them. Of course, if you carefully observe the behavior and attitude of each person around you, you can still confirm the dignity and inferiority in it - but it takes a lot of time to do so, and it is not convenient for the shooter to snipe directly. Second, in the light of the night, if you want to confirm everyone's demeanor, it has never been the strong point of infrared vision.

After all, in this supernatural ability is endless. In a world where there is a huge disparity in individual strength. The tactic of decapitation has always been a method that all forces are happy to use. And the riches of the Church with the 'Goddess of Wealth and Commerce'. Who knows if they will temporarily find the kind of strong man who can take the head of the general in the chaos army. So Nuhar, the Leader of the Baby Teeth, thought it would be better to be careful, in case he lost his life, everything would be gone.

It is precisely because of the other party's caution that even at Barrett's level, it is really difficult to find a suitable target at this time - of course, with Barrett's current strength, he does not have a delusional attempt to solve the opponent's commander with one blow. But even if it's a sniper leader, it's fine. But if he casually finds someone to shoot like this, Barrett will inevitably feel a little unwilling - this is the rhythm of forcing obsessive-compulsive disorder to death!

The barbarians, who had completed their assembly outside the square, did not rush to attack the temple. Instead, it was as if he was going to set up camp and clean up the debris on the square. Braziers were placed to free the hands of the soldiers holding torches. Everything is like a real army.

Seeing all this, Barrett immediately turned around and shouted, "Laru! Hurry up and get Rieley over, it's time for her to show off her might. ”

Using a special technique to vibrate his vocal cords and control the shape of his mouth, Barrett's voice immediately echoed through the small hallway. Although Lalou had already run some distance, he still heard Barrett's instructions. Immediately, he quickened his pace, using the special ability granted by the warrior monk, and hurried to Rielly's location.

After doing all this, Barrett completely gave up his intention to shoot. He didn't want to warn the barbarians in the square with his attack. Otherwise, if they adopt evasive mode, Rielly's fireball skills will be greatly reduced.

Knowing that the situation was urgent, Lalu moved quickly, and after only a few minutes, he dragged Rielly to Barrett's side. The latter didn't say much, and pointed with his thumb to the observation hole beside him.

Walk over to the observation hole near Rieli. After checking the situation outside, he immediately took out a scroll that was placed on his waist. As the effect of the reels is activated. A pure green bead the size of a bean was shot by Rielly towards the ant-like crowd in the square.

But just as the bean-sized sphere approached its target and was about to burst into a dazzling light, it suddenly and silently disappeared - as if it had suddenly vanished into thin air. Seeing all this, Rielly's palm was forced, and the scroll that had lost its magic power immediately crumpled: "Spell countermeasures??" No, no, it's more like a secondary spell nullifying enchantment, or some other similar supernatural ability. ”

"Looks like those barbarians are also prepared!" Barrett, who realized that the situation was not right, frowned.

Although Rielly's spells didn't create any noticeable light and shadow effects, they couldn't hide from the enemy's accompanying spellcasters. Then a low horn sounded, causing the brutes to work at a slight slow. Looks like it's guarding against a possible spell attack.

After all, most protection methods are not guaranteed to be 100% resistant to enemy magic. Spell counters have the potential to fail, and both secondary and spell nullification enchantments have a cap on the protection level - everyone knows that the Goddess of Wealth and Commerce church has a lot of money. Who knows if they have scrolls or scepters for high-level spells. As for the anti-magic field, it's too high-end. It's not that the Eye Demon can be used at any time.

"Alright! The spell just now wasn't completely ineffective, and it slowed down their project progress somewhat. Rieli, who was no longer angry with the scroll, said bitterly.

Looking at everything in front of him, Barrett felt a little strange: "Why do those guys give me the feeling that I have to fight a long battle." Are they sure that nearby towns will not send reinforcements? Or is this just a partial division of the Mammoth Dynasty, and their main force is rubbing against the Seven Cities Alliance again? ”

"I don't think that's going to happen! Unless it is the Mammoth Dynasty that is ready to shed the blood of a generation and send underage children into battle as well. Otherwise, they won't be able to pull up many combatable soldiers. Rieli clearly didn't understand why Barrett would make such a guess.

As for the situation in the Western Continent, Barrett obviously knows more about it than Rieley. Combined with the abnormal behavior of the Mammoth Dynasty before, he couldn't help but have some thoughts: "If there is no external force to intervene, it will indeed be like this." But if the other party finds foreign help. But it's hard to say. After all, the previous battle. The Seven Cities Alliance actually suffered heavier losses. If only the support of some people gave them hope of victory. Those mammoth barbarians may not dare to gamble on a big one. ”

In the Western Continent, the political situation is volatile. The convergence between the various regimes has never stopped. Perhaps the allies who were like glue just now may face each other in the next moment. As long as there is the impetus of interests and careerists, the original balance can be easily broken.

"Someone is behind the Mammoth Dynasty? It can't be a trick from the side of the noble council! Rielly said as she began to sort out the scrolls she had in hand. After all, the enemy's situation was somewhat unexpected, and her previous preparations had to be adjusted.

Barrett shook his head: "I was just guessing, who knows what the situation is." But it's better for us to be careful. ”

"I really don't want your claim, Mr. Boram, to come true." Pastor Gatsby, who was supposed to be in command in the center of the temple, didn't know when he had come behind the two: "But now it seems. It's a possibility. ”

Barrett, who turned around, asked solemnly, "Then if we have to deal with those guys outside alone." How long can the supplies in the temple last? I'm not just asking about food and water, but how long the treatment and other combat materials can last for high-intensity combat. ”

"Don't worry! During the previous operation of Al Snow Mountain, our temple purchased a lot of materials. And they weren't all taken away. So there's plenty of money in that regard. Pastor Gatsby didn't say why the supplies weren't taken. However, Barrett also understands that this should have been part of the 'Great Drift' as well. But in this situation, everything in that little vault has to be taken out first.

While the two were talking, the attackers also began to attack. The casters who hide in the crowd will trigger spell scrolls of great value. For a moment, red flames, dazzling lightning, pungent acid, and hair-making freezing air collided with the temple door.

But after such a baptism, not even a trace of paint was wiped off the door. It's as if the previous spell was an illusion at all. This situation made the face of Nuhar, the leader of the baby teeth, a little difficult to look at. Although before receiving this mission, he was ready to gnaw hard bones. But he didn't expect the bone to be so hard - it was a fossil that had undergone geological changes.

Since spells are useless, all that remains is a violent siege. Fortunately, the Mammoth Dynasty is very prepared for a reunion this time, although it is limited by the size of the ship. Unable to carry large siege engines. But ballistas and small battering rams were prepared.

In a short time, several tall mammoth men came to the gate of the temple with battering rams in their hands. The pair of Billy Elley's waists hurt the thick arms. It swells more conspicuously under the effect of berserk. And then the scarlet skin and the bruised tendons are telling everyone that there is power in it.

"Bang! Boom! Boom! "The battering ram's metal horn heads collided with the temple's gates again and again. The dull sound could be heard not only to the ears of the guards inside the temple, but also to the wilderness outside Wintersprings.

Suddenly, a yellow-green mist enveloped a large area in front of the temple's door—this time the spell didn't work. It shows that the opponent's previous confrontation methods need to be prepared in advance. And the barbarians wielding the battering ram all smelled a disgusting stench. Immediately afterwards, some of the members began to bend over and vomit. Although it's not that the combat power is completely lost, there is no way to work as hard as before for the time being.

The mammoths, who noticed this, immediately cast a spell to create a strong wind, ready to blow the mist back into the temple. But the yellow-green mist disappeared in the blink of an eye as it entered the temple through the vents—the word "cost" could be said to be appropriate in the temple of the 'goddess of wealth and commerce'.

The architectural design here follows the highest standards of defense. The materials used are also the best of the best. Not to mention the magic circles buried in the buildings and the spells that have been solidified for hundreds of years. All of this makes it difficult for most common siege tactics to be as effective as they should be.

Of course, just as antiviruses are always busy with viruses, the temple defenses of the 'Goddess of Wealth and Business' are only aimed at tactics that have been in place in the past. If someone can come up with something that no one has thought of before, then the two sides of the battle can only compete for hard power.

However, the mammoth's wind-making technique can make the temple of the 'Goddess of Wealth and Commerce' suffer its own consequences. However, it also succeeded in mitigating the impact of the Stinky Cloud on the besieging troops. After replacing a few barbarians who still hadn't recovered, the huge battering ram was danced again—and the sound of 'bangbangbang' was heard again.

At the same time, in the flickering firelight, Barrett seemed to see someone building a ladder. Although the temple of the 'Goddess of Wealth and Commerce' is a separate building, there is no castle to speak of. At the same time, there are no windows on the four walls of the house that allow people to pass through. It is not easy for the other party to make an entrance and exit in mid-air.

But if they were to climb to the roof, it would be just as full. Who knows if there are any of those mammoth brutes who are good at making holes! It is extremely difficult to dig tunnels from the ground in this city, but it is much less difficult to dig a hole in the ceiling - I am afraid that the temple will have to exclude personnel from going to the roof to meet the other side in a short fight!

"Fight back! Can't let those guys be too comfortable. With that, Barrett picked up his compound longbow and casually aimed at a mammoth brute who was building a ladder. With Barrett's first arrow, it was as if some kind of trap had been triggered in the entire temple of the Goddess of Wealth and Commerce - a large number of throwing and projectile weapons began to swarm the mammoth barbarians outside. This change was calm before, and they were quite scrambling. At the same time, it also slowed down the enemy's battle formation. (To be continued.) )
