384. Chapter 384: It's so naïve
After encountering Lucius and others before, Roddy "made amends" and told the subordinates in front of him in advance about the measures to deal with high-level mages - such a "battle plan" was something Roddy had seen on the "Top Ten Assassination Videos" before, and in order to prepare the team, he forcibly let the team conduct four simple drills before leaving the ruins.
Roddy is well aware that taking such a step does not necessarily mean that it will be successful, on the contrary ... The probability of being able to kill Lucius is probably less than 10%.
But if there is a probability of success, it is better than sitting still.
"Do you see the stone house over there?
"Akasha, you're in the same position over there, remember to be careful..."
"The potion is here. ”
Because he had rehearsed in advance, and all the people present were smart people, Luo Di completed all the arrangements in just a few words. However, everyone did not respond with the same fighting spirit as before, and Roddy understood why, he exhaled and whispered, "Everyone, maybe this is our last conversation." ”
"I don't regret it. ”
Sodrore raised his head, his gaze meeting Roddy for a moment, his voice unwavering, revealing a resolute determination that would not turn back.
Nata bowed her head and held the short bow in her hand, but did not speak.
Akasha held the flask and said in a somewhat erratic voice, "You'll be all right until I fall." ”
Roddy was in a delicate mood, he never thought that a risk-free mission would inexplicably go to the step of life and death. But now it's useless to say anything, all he can do is keep going.
“... Let's do it. ”
The soldiers were led by Sodrol to join the rest of the group, Nata took a deep look at Roddy, got up and jumped out, and just as Roddy was about to leave, Akasha behind him suddenly opened her arms and hugged him from behind-
"You..."
Roddy wanted to turn around and ask, but heard Akasha's voice ringing in his ears like a dream:
"Later... Maybe there's no chance. ”
After a brief hug, Akasha let go of her hand and ran towards her intended position, so that Roddy couldn't even see her expression.
He wanted to think about what Akasha's movements meant, but he didn't have time at the moment - looking up at the fortress walls, Roddy threw down the overweight "Blood Drinker" battle axe, picked up the longbow in his hand, and stepped into battle.
Lucius' brow furrowed, he was struggling with how to completely restrain the two dragons.
Although they were all seriously injured, the dragon was a dragon after all, and its vitality was far stronger than that of ordinary magical beasts. Even if they breathe a sigh of relief, they have unimaginable destructive power.
The Shadow Chains on the Ice Dragon's body are dissipating, and the Arcane Restraints cast by Lucius, though dense, are not very strong due to the low "elemental density".
He reached out and took out a few small scrolls from his robes, hesitated to use them, took a step, only to find that he stepped on a "charged crystal", he looked at it, and confirmed that it was dropped by the magic circle on Merinsera's body. He hesitated whether to borrow the power of the spar to build a magic circle on the spot, but the movement in the distance made him suddenly raise his gaze.
At the gates of the fortress, a large group of shield-wielding soldiers suddenly poured in.
They didn't advance in formation like ordinary teams, but they rushed into the city gate at great speed and dodged towards the stone buildings on either side.
Lucius's gaze froze, and he immediately recognized the outfits of these soldiers in the ruins, and he immediately raised his hand to gather arcane magic and prepare to attack... But when the palm of his hand was raised, he found that the soldiers in his field of vision had dispersed into a team of three or four people, and began to cross between the walls of these stone houses, approaching him.
"Ridiculous. ”
As a Holy Elder, Lucius's spell level was already enough to "treat one as a thousand" on a certain level, similar to the infantry team in front of him, which could only be described by these two words in his eyes.
Holding a battle shield, Sodrol gritted his teeth and led the team to shuttle between the buildings, more than a dozen squads coordinated with gestures, and the scattered teams seemed scattered, but every time they advanced, there were only three squads that appeared in the opponent's field of vision at the same time - this made it difficult for the opponent to choose an attack target, and also to reduce the team's battle loss rate.
"Third advance, go!"
With the gesture made, Sodrol and the other two teams immediately began to charge towards the next building, but as soon as he took two steps, he saw several "Arcane Missiles" suddenly attack in the distance—as soon as the shield was raised, the impact of the light blasted him away!
Fortunately, the power of the missile did not hit him hard, and after his body hit the ground, he got up and wanted to continue running, but when he raised his head, he found that the three teams of soldiers on both sides had suffered from each other's blows at the same time!
Lucius in the distance raised his palm slightly, ignoring the several groups of soldiers that appeared in front of him, and more than a dozen arcane missiles swept directly over regardless of it, directly covering all the targets that appeared in front of him!
The stone building was blasted with countless rubble and smoke in an instant, and the soldiers who wanted to move forward together just now were dumbfounded, and they couldn't even get their heads out...
If it weren't for Akasha's "Holy Shield" and healing techniques to keep up, if it weren't for Lucius's arcane power being reduced by more than eighty percent, and if it weren't for "petrified skin" and other potions that increased the survivability of soldiers, I'm afraid that the surprise attack of this battle would have caused countless casualties at the beginning.
Roddy didn't expect Lucius to be so powerful... At this time, he had just climbed over the wall where the Frost Dragon had collapsed, and when he saw this, he immediately turned on the "Rapid Shot" and fired three arrows at Lucius, and then "leaped" down the city wall and landed in the ruins of the chaotic stone house.
"Smack!"
The "Arcane Shield" beside Lucius was originally of a very high level, but due to the problem of elemental density, it was cracked by an arrow, he frowned and turned his head to look, stopped the attack directly in front of him, and then waved his hand to let the reinforced shield block the second arrow, and in the face of the third blow, he waved his palm and directly deflected the arrow with invisible force, causing it to "poof" be nailed next to the Frost Dragon's head.
His gaze was fixed on Roddy, but he didn't notice that the shadow dragon that had fallen to the ground seemed to move slightly.
Roddy's arrows failed to injure Lucius, but he was briefly distracted—and in the few seconds, Sodrore, who had regained his shield, once again led the group forward. Lucius sensed their intentions and laughed out loud, then closed his eyes and raised his palms...
"Arcane: Ambient acuity. ”
"Arcane: Swift Spellcasting. ”
"Arcane: Calm and Relax. ”
If Lucius was "strafing" just now, then the next moment, he was completely "bombing"!
Lucius found the "balance" of attacks in this spell-casting environment: he reduced the power of the spell, increased the rate of fire of the spell, took the "quality" from the "quantity", and started the intensive attack in a way with no dead ends!
"Boom, boom!"
The soldiers who were moving forward were blown upside down one by one in an instant, and many of them suffered a second blow before they could get up, and the damage from the overload immediately made more than a dozen people incapacitated, but in the smoke and dust, Sodrore, who was holding a battle shield in front of him, never fell.
Because of the advancement of the "Ghost Knight", his condensed battle qi is far thicker than others, and his defense is several levels stronger. After the power of the magic fell, he rushed all the way to the distance of thirty meters away from Lucius...
On the other hand, Roddy, who kept using "Leap" and "Sprint" after "Engrossion" was turned on, found that he couldn't escape the barrage-like attack no matter how he dodged - he had to turn on the "Tortoiseshell Shield" in a hurry, forcibly resisted the arcane missile that slammed down on his body, protected his head and continued to approach Lucius.
Akasha's "magic technique" was also affected by the enchantment, but while Lucius was distracted, she had already run all the way to the back of the stone house on the other side of the battlefield, but after a few spell casts, Lucius immediately locked on to her, and directly caused her to fall into a ten-second "spell silence" with a "spell counteract".
Such precise field control is outrageous... As soon as he raised his palm pointing forward, Sodrol immediately slammed into the wall of runes that suddenly appeared in front of him, and with his other hand condensed into a fist, Roddy instantly felt the air around him squeeze towards him, as if he couldn't dodge!
In front of Lucius, Roddy's "siege plan" seemed to have no room for smooth implementation from beginning to end: the infantry array did not cause pressure at all, Roddy failed to interrupt the opponent's spell several times with arrows, and Akasha was even more silent and unable to support...
Seeing that everything was about to fail, Roddy gritted his teeth and activated the "Ring of Forgiveness", jumped out of the torrent of arcane that rushed to his face, and opened all his skills to rush towards Lucius!
Fifteen meters.
Roddy raised his hand and shot an arrow that struck the shield through a crack at close range, but he found that Lucius still had his eyes closed, without any panicked expression.
The absolutely confident Arcanist is not afraid of any enemy, and even when Roddy is close at hand, Lucius remains unhurried. The palm he was holding was put down, and his index finger popped out the moment Roddy used "Leap" again...
As soon as Luo Di jumped together, his lower body was violently hit by a violent air current, and he fell to the ground with his head straight down, stopping ten meters in front of Lucius.
In the distance, Sodrol got up from the ground and tried to continue rushing forward with a roar, but was blasted away by more than a dozen arcane missiles cast by Lucius with a wave of his hand, and even the shield was shattered into shards.
"Smack!"
The [Purifying Blade] thrown by Roddy gritted his teeth and sent the shield out of the second rift, Lucius didn't pay attention to him at all, and with a wave of his hand, he blasted him aside, and was about to cast a spell to end it all, but the action suddenly stopped in place...
At the same moment, Nata, lurking in the smoke, shot the first arrow of the battle.
Her position was directly behind Lucius, and Roddy and the others did their best to distract Lucius and break the shield in order to create an opportunity for Nata!
In order to maximize her attack, Nata used Roddy's faster [Ice Crystal Thorn] at this time!
The arrow hit the shield that was about to shatter, and with a "click" of shattering, the spinning arrow was suddenly blocked in mid-air...
"That's all?"
Lucius's voice was playful, and he reached out to grab the arrow and swung it at Nata as if he were swinging a staff, and the second arrow turned in the air and "poof" into her abdomen!
"It's so naïve. ”......
