Sodrol shouted, activating the shield on his breastplate, and the battle aura instantly condensed, firmly blocking the fierce flames in front of him. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

The soldier next to him was taken aback, if he hadn't retreated in time, I was afraid that someone would have been burned to ashes on the spot.

"It's getting stronger, we probably won't be able to trap it!"

Nora's voice came from the side, in fact, without saying it, Sodrol also felt the terrifying energy that kept spewing out - this lizard obviously had an unexpected mutation, and looking at the mountain wall that it forcibly shattered, it was estimated that it would not be long before this guy could get out of trouble!

In a flash of lightning, Sodrol immediately ordered a retreat.

Thirteen men had been preparing for the battle for five days, but when it came time to give up, Sodrore did not hesitate - everyone quickly left according to the predetermined evacuation route.

"Boom!"

At the epicenter of the ground drama, everyone saw the purple light that suddenly reflected...

"Run, don't look back!"

Fortunately, in order to facilitate the retreat, three hundred meters away was where all the horses of the army were, and seeing the signal from Sodrol, the three soldiers who remained behind quickly released the reins, allowing the retreating soldiers to mount their horses at a faster speed, and all of them quickly evacuated into the distance.

Their movements were not unpleasant, and not a single person in the whole team dropped the chain, but they ran three kilometers in five minutes.

In difficult terrain, it is easy to have accidents such as broken legs and injuries. In order to allow the horses to run farther, Sodrore controlled the speed of the horses all the way. But even from such a distance, they heard the thunderous sound as they marched, as if someone was constantly bombarding the valley with spells.

This scene made Sodrore's face solemn, and he always felt that the change of this Coswodi Dragon was beyond imagination: Roddy didn't say that the other party had the ability to "transform", and after the transformation, he was still strong like this...

With such doubts, the team finally stopped after ten kilometers of travel. As it gets late, Nata is in charge of scouting at close range, while Nora goes to the farther sentry field on her own. The rest of the soldiers divided into neat areas and prepared to bury pots and cook for camping. But before Sodrore could erect his tent, the distant arrows made him turn his head violently.

Five times in a row, the signal of the highest level alarm came. Then Nora's figure teleported into the camp and shouted, "That guy is coming!"

Sodroll, who originally wanted to fight, suddenly changed his face, he didn't expect this giant beast to run so far to pursue, and he wanted to order all the staff to prepare for battle, but thinking of the strange aura coming out of the other party's body, he still resisted this idea, and instead asked all the members to abandon the excess baggage and immediately retreat!

This decision is more demoralizing. But Sodrore wasn't cowardly, he and Roddy had faced dragons and tidal snow monsters, and knew that such monsters were not easy to defeat with a large number of people. What's more, field warfare is not a city defense war, and if it really fights, it is piling up human lives. There are a total of thirteen people on his side, and as long as there are more than four dead and wounded, the battle can be declared a defeat - and a monster that can pursue more than ten kilometers will let go of the soldiers who flee?

At this time, everyone could hear a sudden roar in the distance, and a roaring fire broke out in the distance of the jungle, which was gradually darkening. The soldiers, knowing that they were in trouble, quickly got up and mounted their horses and continued to flee into the distance.

"What's the matter with this guy?!"

Riding on horseback, Sodlore asked Nora loudly, as she was the only one in the group who had seen each other up close.

"It's getting bigger—twice as big, and it's all burning with purple fire!"

Nora then uttered a word that gave Sodrore a lot of headaches: "It may be 'demonized'!"

This team is no stranger to "demonization", and when facing those dungeon monsters before, they have also encountered several guys with mutated bodies. However, for a well-equipped team, this creature with a thin "demonic bloodline" did not cause problems for the team, and in terms of size and strength, it could not be compared to the current mad Koswodi Dragon.

"Cross the river!"

This is currently the best way to "reverse tracking", as the river or stream will wash away the traces and smells left by the team. Luckily, there was a stream more than 10 meters wide not far in front of the team, and the water level was much lower than in summer at this time in winter.

When it was dark, the team finally waded through the icy water to the other side. Sodrol did not dare to stop, and continued to change the direction of travel with the team. Nata and Nora took the team to a high ground in the dark of night, so that the soldiers could have time to recuperate.

But instead of setting the team on fire, the cautious Sodrore carefully laid out a position that could be met at any time - the human team was not at the top of the food chain in this forest, and no one could say what they would encounter.

Fortunately, the river seemed to have finally stopped the Koswodisaurus from tracking, allowing both the team and the horses to sleep peacefully for the night.

But the luck didn't last long. In the early morning, the five ringing arrows sounded again, and Sodrore's face was completely gloomy, and he finally realized... Got into trouble with a really tough guy on his own.

The soldiers looked at him, in the long battle, Sodrol had already established absolute authority, and at such a moment, any order he gave could decide the life and death of the members of this team.

It's not Sodrore's character to run away, but he's not a fool who charges blindly when his head is hot. Faced with a powerful monster that never dies, Sodrol tries to find the right terrain to deal with - but after going through the nearby landscapes in his mind, he immediately gives up on the idea, and finally chooses to continue to flee:

"Go upstream!"

The team continued to travel some distance before crossing the river again, creating a large trap in the time that the enemy had not yet pursued. The next day, the Koswodi dragon was blasted into the sky by more than a dozen charged lances in the trap - but after being seriously injured, the monster did not die, let alone retreat, but continued to follow the rear of the team...

As a result, Sodrore, who has found out the truth and reality, also clarified the team's future choice: "Return to Elson City!"

November 23rd.

Camilla, who was in Elson City, did not know what happened to Sodlorre and the others. At this time, she was holding a letter from the southern port, reading the words written by Roddy over and over again, and complaining that no one could hear—

"That's my daughter... You said yes, you agreed, and you didn't ask me..."

"I usually spoil Nephie, but now I really think of myself as a father?"

She pouted slightly, but her cheeks were red from some strange association. When I looked up in front of the window, I noticed that the reflection in the glass was very upturned at the corners of my mouth...

"What's there to be happy about being so late... Hate to die. ”

Camilla put away the letter, and although she said this, her mood couldn't be better, and even the steps towards the stairs were much lighter.

The "Elson Magic Exchange" was originally expected to open on the 10th, but because there was no news of Roddy's return, Camilla postponed the opening at the beginning of the month on the grounds that "too many people came to attend". It wasn't until the 19th that the news of the "Discovery of the Return Fleet" came from the port that it was really announced that the "Magic Exchange" was fully opened.

However, because there was no Luo Di, the city lord, to make an opening speech, the mages who came from afar naturally made a lot of trouble. The self-proclaimed Magus had three of them leave the opening scene - their meaning was obvious: since the prime minister of Evta didn't pay attention to this "magic exchange", then don't blame me for not giving face.

And these three "rhythmic" Magisters also caused a total of more than twenty people to leave the venue, such a scene Camilla had expected in advance, so she continued to finish the main schedule of future exchanges on the podium without changing her color, and it seemed that she didn't notice the departure of more than twenty people at all.

This kind of behavior of "pretending not to see" naturally fuels the arrogance of some people. That night, rumors of slander and ridicule spread from the hotels, as if what they called this "magic exchange meeting" had become "Elson's conspiracy", "a farce to use the fame of other mages to gild", and "a failed performance that did not know how to pretend to understand"...

Most mages come here because the Magic Journal already has some credibility in the kingdom of Karen, and everyone thinks that there are real materials here that have made the long journey. But now that they hear these discussions, many people do retreat -- are they really stepping into a scam?

Camilla's official explanation for this was that "the Prime Minister will return to Elson City and speak at the subsequent exchange meeting due to his busy schedule".

At this time, the city of Elson was bustling - according to simple statistics, there were 173 official "magicians" and 427 "magic apprentices" from all over the country. And that's not even counting the other wizards, druids, or all sorts of priests who come in with you. If you add them all, more than three hundred guys with advanced strength are conservative numbers.

Among them, the heavyweights are naturally the six Magi who came from the eastern part of the kingdom. Four of them were members of the six magisters in the eastern part of the kingdom. The other two Magisters had never heard of them before, and were obviously much more low-key. Regardless of their status, however, Camilla is the same, because the first item of the "Magic Exchange" is not "exchange", but "show".

This approach is similar to what Roddy did to Houdini at the beginning, but unlike the "Rasiman Envoys", many people who came to participate in the "exchange meeting" did not have a "win-win" attitude in their hearts, they wanted to do a "verification" to see if Elson City was as strong as they imagined.

I'm going to travel far away in the middle of the month, so I need to save some manuscripts. 3000 words updated these days, forgive me. Happy Women's Day to female readers!
