The rain of arrows that split heads and covered faces lasted for a long time, because the manpower in the temple was limited after all, so only scattered arrows and blood stains could be seen on the square.

In the face of mammoth barbarians who already have decent armor, ordinary bows and arrows obviously can't do too much damage. Even the hapless guy who was stabbed into his hat by Barrett's arrow struggled to die. It can be said that this time the shooting achieved very few results.

"I was almost able to shoot the opponent in the face without protection." Barrett, who saw his victory, screamed bad luck. Also due to the poor results, after disrupting the enemy's actions, the attack on the temple side was temporarily stopped.

Rielly, who was on the side, reached out and touched her chin: "According to the current situation, our long-range strike capability here can only play a harassing role at best." This has to be the case that the other party has no specific preparations, otherwise a wind wall technique can nullify most of our efforts. It would be nice if there were ballistae and other fortification equipment at this time. ”

"We've got a fortress here, but it's just a temple and not a real fortress!" Pastor Gartzby said with some embarrassment, "It's not like we can't get controlled items like ballistas. But if it's openly installed in the temple, those guys in the town hall will have bad thoughts. So we didn't have any plans to do that at all. ”

No matter how powerful an organization is, as long as it is not the ruling class itself, then there will still be some taboos to act. It is precisely because of this that the temple of the Church of the Goddess of Wealth and Commerce lacks long-range projection weapons with deterrent power - in the case of the opponent's possession of targeted means, the failure of the spell naturally becomes embarrassing.

Barrett stared at the enemy outside the observation hole for a moment and said, "It's good to harass the opponent's progress with arrows like this, but you should be able to try spells!" If you try it with the high-level spell scrolls after they are concentrated, I can't do it, and those guys are all shrouded in the anti-magic field. ”

The anti-magic field is indeed very powerful, yes. Most of the magic effects in the space within this barrier are inaccessible. Including spells, spell-like abilities, and supernatural abilities. At the same time, it also blocks the operation of magic items and spells in all areas. However, it has a fatal flaw, that is, the scope of its influence is extremely small. Although that invisible barrier surrounds the caster and moves with it. But a radius of 10 feet was a drop in the bucket for the plaza in front of the temple. Comparatively, the Spell Nullification enchantment class has a much larger coverage and shorter duration (this is the premise of this book). Originally, the area of influence of the two was actually the same, and the duration of the anti-magic field was longer).

"If it's an invalid spell, then it takes a 5-ring spell to take effect!" Pastor Gatsby pouted, "It's not like there isn't a similar reserve of scrolls in the temple. But the success rate of skipping the level to trigger spells is very low! ”

"It's not high, but as long as we succeed once, those guys outside will have to pay double the price to orient themselves!" Speaking of this, Barrett licked his lips with his tongue, "It's obvious that we have the initiative in this regard!" If it's not a good use, why don't you use it well! ”

The 5-ring arcane scroll is expensive, and if it fails, it will indeed make Pastor Gatsby feel distressed for a while. So this door-picking guy. We still don't plan to take that risk. In the time that followed, Barrett controlled the pace of his shooting, and the sporadic cold arrows that flew out of the temple at regular intervals somewhat affected the preparations of the mammoth dynasty guys. At the same time, you can occasionally hit the opponent's vital enchanted arrows, and you still have a chance to harvest the enemy's life.

However, compared to the number of attackers, such sporadic casualties are really a drop in the bucket. But who made the manpower of the temple, even after getting a few replenishments, still seem to be a little insufficient! In addition, there is no high-end combat power that can make a final decision, and it is only natural that the battle situation will develop anxiously and dullly.

As time passed, the chaos in Winterspring had subsided—those who had vented their desires. The pirates who have collected enough loot. They began to return to the port one after another, carrying sacks on their backs. According to the way these pirates behave, most of them will choose to leave after completing the raid. So as not to run into the soldiers who are reinforcing the town.

But when they get back to the docks. The guys were immediately dumbfounded. Because the ships that had been docked at the dock were all gone, they couldn't find a means of transportation even if they wanted to evacuate. By this moment, the pirates had just understood the viciousness of Nuhar, the leader of the Mastodons.

There were no flames and no wreckage, which means that the ships were not destroyed. Thinking about the behavior of the Mammoth Dynasty when the pirates all poured into Winterspring to burn and loot, they still didn't understand what was going on. Although while going ashore to plunder, the captain of each ship would place guards on the ship. But the number of those left behind is really not worth mentioning compared to the number of people who participated in the raid.

On the one hand, it is a rare opportunity to enter the town to vent the anguish of the sea. No pirate would want to give up. On the other hand, the pirate leaders had promised a large amount of money before, and the garrisons who did not participate in the operation would definitely not be greedy for a lot of benefits that should have belonged to them. When the two are combined, no one wants to stay.

While the pirate captains promised the benefits of those left behind, their pre-action words limited the resources they could distribute. And these marauders of the sea. The same is the abhorrence of bad checks. If the captains didn't come up with real money, they really couldn't appease those who stayed behind. So the end result is that the number of people left behind becomes extremely limited.

In this way, after the unified action in the face of the mammoth army. These pirates, who are already resentful on the ship, will naturally not defend their ship to the death. Soon, the pirate ships were in the hands of the Mammoth Dynasty. Then they tied all the ships together with ropes and dragged them out of the harbor.

It can be said that the action of Nuhar, the leader of the Mastodons, before the official promotion, completely cut off the retreat of those pirates. Of course, the other party did not simply burn the ships, and more or less left the pirates with a little miss. But there may be a mallet among these pirates. But who can become the captain of the ship is not a shrewd person. They immediately understood the plan of the Mastodon Ruler Nuhar.

Immediately, these pirate leaders, who were not very related to each other, rarely gathered together calmly and chatted. It's like when he was surrounded by everyone before, he had to unite to protect himself in the face of the threat of the Mammoth Dynasty. The current situation also made them afraid to go alone to discuss with the Milktooth Commander Nuhar. Once again, the union has become an inevitable problem.

But on top of the question of how to negotiate with Nohar. Different pirate leaders have their own opinions. Some of them intend to take a hard line against this series of provocations by the Mammoth Dynasty. In their opinion, if they were not tough enough this time, they would give the impression that the mammoth barbarians were weak and deceitful.

Then there will definitely be more people in the future who will pay attention to their heads. Anyway, the temple of the Goddess of Wealth and Commerce Church will not be able to be attacked for a while, and they have the capital to bargain with the Mastodon Leader Nuhar - if the pirates are determined to make trouble by virtue of their numbers, it will definitely greatly affect the actions of the Mammoth Dynasty.

What's more, the undisciplined 'Goddess of Wealth and Commerce' church, after seeing the dawn of a breakthrough, may not temporarily hire pirates to deal with the barbarians of the mammoth kingdom. Justice and justice are not as important to them as money is concerned. As for the civilians in Wintersprings who died at the hands of pirates. In their eyes, it also seems to be an equivalent that can be weighed on a scale.

However, not everyone is willing to directly clash with the Mammoth Dynasty. After all, under the suppression of the Seven Cities Alliance Navy, it is not easy for the pirates to live. At this time, if you offend the mammoth dynasty that is also operating in the North Sea, isn't it uncomfortable for yourself? Human beings are realistic creatures, and since reality many times has to be compromised like life. Although the Mammoth Dynasty may not be able to exterminate these pirates, there is a way to make their 'business' a little harder.

It's no wonder that many pirates don't want to be in direct conflict with the Mammoth Dynasty, and they can't take a tough stance at the same time. Of course, there are two factions in this faction, and one of them chooses to maintain strict neutrality while putting pressure on the mammoths. Ask them to return the ship as soon as possible - there are still a lot of unburned houses in Winterspring anyway, and the pirates will not have a hard time finding a place to spend the night.

And regardless of whether the actions of the Mammoth dynasty were successful or unsuccessful. As long as the pirates can unite to prevent them from leaving by boat, the position of the two sides will naturally be to attack and defend each other - after all, in the eyes of the pirates, such a big thing has happened in Winterspring Town, and the reinforcements from the Seven Cities Alliance must not be too busy. It is true that the pirates are afraid of the regular armies of the Seven Cities Alliance, but the barbarians of the mammoths are their mortal enemies. When the time comes, I won't be able to bear the guys in Nuhar.

The side with the least number was prepared to ask for an offer from the Mammoth Dynasty first, if the price was right. It's not that you can't participate in the action against the Temple of the Goddess of Wealth and Commerce. After all, pirates can change quickly between their enemies and allies as long as they are profitable.

However, the previous events have made most pirates wary of Nuhar, the Mastodon Warlord. So the number of people who belong to this faction is the smallest. However, the dozen or so pirate leaders have their own arguments and plans, and they all have their own dirty arguments. The negotiation and discussion work of several people was in full swing for a while!

However, it is clear that it is not a task that can be completed in a short period of time. When the sound of crashing in the small square of Winter Springs Town continued, the spitting in the dock area also did not stop for a long time.

To be honest, the environment around the temple of the 'Goddess of Wealth and Commerce' is really defensible. I don't know what price they paid in the first place. It is obviously the center of gravity square with the highest land price in the town, but there is no other building around the temple of the 'Goddess of Wealth and Commerce'. This makes the ladder a necessary means of climbing - if there are other buildings nearby, it is entirely possible to borrow from those houses.

But even though the archers in the temple were constantly harassing, the ladder of the mammoth dynasty was still erected. Barrett managed to snipe 3-4 of his chosen targets, but it didn't really make much of a difference to the whole situation - the mammoths didn't seem to fear death at all, they ignored their companions and became cold, but the work at hand didn't slow down at all.
