Chapter 965: Collapse
When it comes to acting, Kardashian and Roddy don't cooperate once or twice, so she immediately got into the groove and made a verbal riback with the same southern accent. At the same time, her staff emitted a wave of fluctuations - this level is equivalent to that of a high-level mage, and the intensity of the spell fluctuations displayed is enough to make the other party feel jealous, but not to make them feel fearful.
And after her words, Iskar, Essien, and Stica all pressed the switch next to her, and everyone made a defensive look that a mercenary should have, holding the hilt of the sword and raising the sword in a decent manner...
Nata, who had not spoken, was startled by the reaction of the dragons, and she opened her mouth slightly, almost letting go of her hand and shooting the arrow. Seeing that Roddy was clumsily buckling the arrow on the string, she realized that everyone was acting. Nata wanted to help for a while, but soon realized that she didn't want to do anything, and that it was enough to just stand next to her.
Devit and the others didn't know that they had escaped, and they thought the mercenary group's reaction was a little strange at first, but the appearance at this time was obviously in line with their cognition, so no one thought much about it. Panda looked at Rubens, who was pulled away by Roddy, and frowned slightly... As he weighed the strength of both sides, he felt a little strange - because he felt that Roddy's face was somewhat familiar.
As prime minister, Roddy didn't have a cult of personality, but a photo of him giving a speech at a meeting in front of the Dragon Tower was once on the second edition of "The Age of Karen". Of course, Panda and the rest of the Congregation had studied this "mortal enemy", so he immediately suspected Roddy's identity.
However, after Roddy lowered his hat and deliberately changed his emphatic demeanor, he couldn't see the momentum of the so-called "superior" for a long time, anyone who saw his nodding and slick posture, plus the details that he was carrying a bow but not holding arrows, would think that this guy was a constant sycophant dog leg around the mercenary captain...
This kind of existence, and Prime Minister Luo Di, who can straighten his back in front of the dragon clan, how can he be a person?
Others didn't think much about it anymore, but Panda still had doubts in his heart, because he stared at Luo Di for a long time, and the latter pointed directly at his nose: "What are you looking at? Didn't you listen to what our group leader said?"
"Captain Julia, I'm Panda, the priest of the Luna Cult," he ignored Roddy's cries and turned his gaze to Kardashian, "The ruins don't belong to anyone, since you can come here, you can explore them according to your ability, right?"
Panda has a tough attitude, and Kardashian also does not retreat: "Okay, everyone fights with their ability, those who win continue to explore, and those who lose get out obediently?"
This kind of back-and-forth words are basically testing the bottom line, after all, no one is really naΓ―ve enough to solve the problem in a "duel" way - in fact, if there is no fight at the beginning, it means that both sides have the idea of "calming things down", after all, everyone is not stupid, and it is possible for magicians to cast spells casually in this kind of cave, and it is possible to collapse directly.
Panda had already judged that the group of wood elves had stolen the things here, and it was estimated that no matter how much they rummaged inside, they couldn't find much valuable gadgets. Therefore, he didn't have much heart to continue to stay in the ruins, and after seeing Kardashian's softness and hardness, and completely refusing their request to "explore the ruins together", he directly chose to back down: "Okay, since we can't talk, then let's take a step back, from here to the outer area, let's take some things and go, to the inner area... How's that for you?"
Kardashian's eyes flickered twice, then she nodded, "Okay." β
This looks like a calculating mercenary captain, after all, the big bag Iskar is carrying is too conspicuous, and Panda and the others take it for granted that it is a property looted from the ruins.
"Lord Panda?"
"Listen to me, go. β
DeWitt asked reluctantly, but Panda waved his hand and evacuated decisively. He knew that the real "property" was probably in the wood elves, and it was not distressing to leave these rags in the ruins to the other party.
However, just as Panda took two steps back and was about to turn away, a lot of dust and gravel suddenly fell above his head. Everyone in the ruins froze for a moment, and the dust fell right on DeWitt's head, causing him to squint while wearing the helmet: "Damn... Why is it still in the ground?"
"That's not right!"
Panda's face changed, and within two seconds, everyone faintly heard a whistle coming from the corridor behind them - it meant that something was wrong with the team left outside, and they were sounding the whistle!
"Get out!"
He immediately shouted, but the whole team was well-trained, and several of the Ao Neng warriors, who were the original members of the Holy Society, took the lead in turning their heads and rushing out as vanguards, while Panda himself as the queen of the palace team, and DeWitt and Louis exited the room together, until they made sure that Kardashian had not moved, and then turned around and began to accelerate the evacuation.
When the dragons in the room saw Panda leave, Kardashian waved her hand to release a soundproof barrier, turned her head and asked Stica, "What's going on outside?"
"That's a question for Rubens. Stika kept the black dragon next to him, and the latter pressed his hand against the wall next to him, and after a moment of concentration, he showed a strange look: "There is a team of wood elves above the cliff attacking their team, and..."
He seemed to be able to clearly see the movements of this group of people, and raised his eyebrows: "Tsk, it seems that they have already dug a hole to blast this place, and plan to blow this place up directly with magic crystals." β
This was said in a well-rounded manner, and it could be seen that Rubens did not take this kind of thing to heart at all. Instead, Roddy exhaled: "It seems that yes, this group of guys in the wood elf village may have mastered some kind of strange magic, which allows them to directly use the power of the magic crystal without exploding." β
"That's just picking people's teeth, it doesn't matter," Iskar said as he sat down on the stone bench next to him, with a serious face, "The point is... Essien, why was your illusion broken by divine magic?"
"I can confirm that when the Pope of the Rosicrucian comes, it will be difficult to break the illusion of the level just now. Although Esin didn't speak just now, he was carefully feeling the aura of magic on Panda's body, but no matter how he looked at it, he could confirm that the other party's magic level was not high, and theoretically speaking, there was no possibility of investigation.
He took off his fur hat and touched his bare head, then rubbed his cheeks vigorously, unusually agitated.
Nata was still pointing her bow out the door as dust and gravel fell on her arm, and the wood elf looked up with some concern to see that a crack had appeared in the stone wall above her head.
"So what's next?"
Kardashian raised her hand to freeze the entire roof with an ice spell, and everyone looked at Roddy - at this time he no longer had the obscene look he had just now, he recalled what Corseus had said, and hung his bow back: "I have an idea, I can try..."
Outside the cave, the mercenary's corpse was already lying on the ground, and the wood elf in a tattered cloak Scoch raised his hand to blast away the last mercenary who tried to resist, and the violent explosion blew the opponent straight out of the cliff edge, and the screams echoed through the valley, but it was soon covered by the muffled rumbling sound.
"Get out of here!"
Scoch turned around and waved at his companion, then jumped onto the rope that hung from above, and quickly climbed up the cliff, and within seconds of their departure, the ground shook continuously...
A faint blue light came out of a hole carved out of the cavern, and then the light turned orange. Countless cracks appeared on the mountain wall, rocks flew down from the cliff, frightened birds rose in large areas, and many monsters or animals hiding on the cliff began to climb out...
The wood elves, who were desperately running to evacuate, even saw that the stones beside their feet were shaking slightly.
It didn't take long for the tremors to finally stop. Scoch stopped and looked back, only to find that the mountain above the cave had dropped a lot, and the original "silver line" canyon below had completely disappeared, almost buried by broken rock.
As a result, the cave structure inside has completely collapsed, and there is almost no chance that the people inside will survive.
Scoch breathed a sigh of relief, holding the crystal in his hand and waving his hand to signal the others who had come out with him to return.
