Chapter 198: Preparing to Collect the Net

readx;?? Fortunately for the high-ranking swordsman, he was not attacked by the opposing mage before he landed safely. The two priests of the pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info immediately rushed up, checked the injuries of the guard, and were relieved to find that he was not fatally injured, and began to cast spells to treat his injuries.

"Captain, what do we do now?"

One of his subordinates said that most of the places below the cliff were now covered with flames, and the other party's magicians were still adding fuel to the fire, constantly spreading the flames in all directions, if they hadn't been fighting hard, I am afraid that they would have no place to stand a long time ago, but even so, they were still sweating from the heat of the fire, their skin was on fire, and the wounded and the weaker guards could not last long, and they would be roasted alive.

"The cliff must not be climbed again. ”

The senior swordsman looked into the depths of the flames, with a hint of fear in his eyes, and shook his head and said.

"Why? There are so many of us together, and although their magicians are powerful, it is impossible for them to attack all of us at the same time!"

The subordinate continued to suggest.

"You're right, but it's not feasible now? We have too many wounded, although most of the injuries have been healed by the priest, but it is impossible for the strength to recover so quickly, if you take them to climb the cliff together, they themselves will definitely die, not to mention that under the attack of the other party's magician, it may cause more casualties to others. ”

"So what do we do?"

The guards under his command understood that the captain's words were correct, with the drag of the wounded, their efficiency in climbing the cliff would be greatly reduced, and the casualties would inevitably increase, and the number of casualties they had now was close to average, if most of the brothers were really folded here, I am afraid that it would be difficult to escape heavy punishment if they returned alive, and in the Holy See's own territory, they had not suffered such a big loss, so there was a reason why the captain did not choose this path.

"I have a way. ”

The male cyclops on one side suddenly spoke.

"What's the solution?"

Turner asked.

"We can escape into the cave, the fire here can't last forever, and it's not too late for us to come out and deal with them when the fire subsides. ”

That's what the cyclops said, but he also knew in his heart that when the fire subsided, he was afraid that the opponent would have already fled with his treasures, but now he couldn't care about so much, no matter how much treasure he had, he had to enjoy it, and it was not completely impossible to take it back in the future, after all, this was the Papal State, as long as the people of the church went out of the valley to release the news, it was much more difficult for the opponent to escape from the Papal State with a large sum of wealth than from this valley.

"Hide in the cave, if the opponent pours smoke into the cave, we can be suffocated to death. β€œ

Turner had already thought of this solution, because the cave was at the bottom of the cliff, and they could easily hide in it without crossing the fire, but that would be equivalent to putting them in a dead end, and the result would not be better than climbing the cliff, and might even destroy the whole army, so he had to point out the risks that hiding in the cave might take.

"Don't worry, these caves used to be mine caves, and after the minerals were mined, they were changed to what they are now, and there is a lot of space inside, and there are also ventilation holes, so you don't have to worry about being suffocated inside. Moreover, with the current fire in the valley, the smoke produced can only be seen by people more than ten miles away, and it may attract someone to come, so the people outside must not dare to stay for a long time, and as soon as they retreat, we can go out and pursue them at any time. ”

The giant had already considered Turner's concerns, so he replied without hesitation.

"Well, since the master is so confident, we will do as you do. Everyone listened, and all retreated to the cave. ”

Turner thought for a moment, although he felt that there was still a risk, but he really couldn't come up with a better way, so he could only nod his head in agreement, but it was not so much that he accepted the Cyclops' suggestion, but that he was forced, if he let his opponent escape, and he couldn't bring the rest of the people back, then even if he returned to Vanston, he would be dead.

At this time, all the wild grass around the guards had been ignited, and the flames were constantly rushing towards them with grass ashes, and the guards who had been insisting on fighting the flames had their hair scorched and their clothes burned. The few who were injured before were even more unbearable, and they didn't have to wait for the order to take the initiative to withdraw towards the cave.

Turner was the last to enter, and at the last moment he entered the cave, he was still a little apprehensive in his heart, he always felt that the choice to hide in the cave was arranged by the opponent one by one, otherwise it would not have gone so well, but before he could hesitate, the two cyclops had already pushed the huge stone gate to close the cave entrance.

The moment the door closed, Turner couldn't help but turn his head to look back, and then he was stunned. In the raging fire, a water dragon was slowly rising into the air, and this was the last scene he saw.

"Alan, we just let them go?"

With his own side in the ascendancy, seeing that the people of the Holy See and the cyclops were hiding in the cave one by one, Cronis said with some reluctance.

"So what are you going to do? Rush up and fight them?"

"I was kidding. You're here, do we still need to do it?"

Cronis laughed a little cheekily.

"Alan, the fire is getting bigger and bigger, let's get out quickly!"

Shelly looked around, wiped the sweat from his face and said.

I don't know when the wind has risen in the valley, the fire borrows the wind, and all the wild grass around it burns, the flames are getting stronger and stronger, burning up the dry grass on the skin, and then the rotten grass below is also ignited, the billowing smoke produced by the burning of the rotten grass is not only choking, but also foul smell, and even toxic, so at the beginning Alan can also separate the approaching flames through fire control, but as the smoke increases, he must divide a part of his spiritual power to summon wind magic to disperse the surrounding smoke, flames and smoke are pervasive, so at this time Alan is also a little difficult to take care of both ends。

"The smell is so bad. ”

The little girl had been using fire magic to help Alan, but she was dizzy from the stench of burning rotten grass and had to stop.

"Ahem!"

Wanda coughed too.

"It's not going to go on like this, Alan. ”

Cronis finally realizes that now is not the time to track down the enemy, and has to remind Alan to resolve the immediate crisis first.

"Miranda, you use a whirlwind technique, disperse the smoke first, and leave the rest to me. ”

With a thought, Eren temporarily dispersed the smoke around the little girl and gave her time to recite the magic spell.

Things have developed so far, and finally reached the stage of closing the net.
