readx;? The lurking crossbowman moves like a shadow, hiding the sound of his movement with the help of the chirping of birds and insects in the nearby woods and the sound of the wind blowing the grass and trees. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

60 meters, 50 meters, 40 meters......

It has reached a distance where it can be determined that it is "foolproof", as long as the trigger on the crossbow is pulled, a rain of arrows like locusts will shoot at the pot-bellied magician, and after putting down the enemy's only combat power in an instant, the two people left with oil and lamps are the meat on the chopping board.

Nemo sneered contemptuously. Although the tension in his heart had risen sharply at this time, he still forcibly calmed himself, stretched out his hand that had tried so hard to suppress it that he would not tremble, and patted the adjutant next to him on the back.

The lieutenant understood what the chief meant, put the stone flute that he had prepared in his hand to his mouth, and blew a flute that imitated the cry of a oriole and represented the order to "shoot......

Alice was now stripped naked and lying comfortably in the bathtub, letting the warm water surround her body, enjoying the maids touching and wiping her body.

Her last wish to Nemo to "go back to her cell for a nap" didn't come true, because shortly after Nemo left Prison Island, the boat returned to Prison Island with two other sergeants, lifted Alice out of her cell, and took her to a luxurious room. At that time, a sumptuous meal had been prepared for her in the room, and Alice was not polite, let go of her belly and brushed it, and after eating, she casually grabbed a bright tablecloth to wipe the oil stains from her mouth, and regardless of the dirty prison clothes, she lay on the comfortable and soft bed as if no one was around, and fell asleep.

The two sergeants who accompanied her all the way and the several maids who had been ordered to serve her were dumbfounded, and if they had not been told in advance, they would not have believed that the female prisoner in front of them, who behaved like a pariah, was actually the eldest lady who had always maintained a dignified and ladylike posture in front of people, the granddaughter of the old marshal.

Of course, they can't realize that after a few months of inhuman imprisonment, anyone can change something, and it is impossible to change back to the past.

By the time Alice woke up, it had already fallen and she was taken to another room: her own boudoir.

It seems that while she was sleeping, someone had re-cleaned and reorganized the room, which had been vacant for months, and everything was furnished exactly as before, no different from when she left, but Alice was very unimpressed by this deliberate restoration. Even if Nemo arranges everything on the surface exactly as in the past, it can't change the reality that things have changed qualitatively, and Nemo's attack on emotions has no effect at all.

Afterwards, several maids arranged for Alice to bathe. Since Alice is going to participate in the plenary meeting of 10,000 people, it is impossible to do without a bright and neat appearance. Alice didn't shirk either, and after blasting all the male sergeants out, she tore the prison clothes on her body to shreds, and then soaked her body covered in black mud into the bathtub prepared in advance.

Imprisoned in a dark, filthy cell for too long, Alice had several layers of dirt in her hair and body, which was a pain in the handmaidens who helped her wipe and wipe her body. The bath lasted for hours, and the bath water was changed several times, but Alice still lay in the bathtub like an empress, not at all politely, even excessively, calling the maids arranged by Nemo, not only for a rare consolation for herself after months of suffering, but more importantly, for the attitude that she was the real master of the room.

It was also a rebellion against the chains that had been handcuffed to her hands and feet, and although she had been removed from her cell, her freedom of movement remained restricted and she would be under full surveillance until the end of the 10,000-strong plenary meeting tomorrow.

Staring at the shackles that constantly changed their shape in the fluttering water waves, Alice's eyes were like iron, and she secretly made up her mind:

"Tomorrow, I will definitely ......"

"How so?"

"Lynx" General Nemo is furious!

Just as the adjutant was about to sound the sniper signal that mimicked the call of a oriole, a loud and clear noise suddenly came from the place where one of the crossbowmen was hiding, and the crossbowman was seen screaming and being catapulted into the air5 or 6, and then falling heavily to the ground, bleeding profusely.

"It's a magic sentry!" Nemo immediately realized the oversight.

Long before organizing this sneak attack, he knew that Cassius had a habit of setting up magic posts near the camp, so he deliberately asked his subordinates who had learned the principles of magic to scout the front line first, in order to avoid those places that had been confirmed or might be equipped with magic posts;

Sure enough, Cassius instantly noticed that something was wrong, and he immediately dropped the bucket in his hand, let the spring water scatter all over the ground, and then raised his stout right foot and stepped heavily on the stagnant water on the ground.

The other lurking crossbowmen also detached the crossbow's trigger at the same time, and all they could hear was the sound of "whoosh", and in the darkness of the night, countless indiscernible arrows crossed a short distance and pounced on Cassius and Sophia like locusts.

But the opportunity has been lost, Cassius is already proficient in freezing magic, not to mention that there is ready-made water to use, so that the speed of condensing magic is equal to the speed of his thinking, before the sharp arrow enters his and Sophia's bodies, a wall of ice has stood in front of the two of them, dozens of crossbow arrows are all nailed to the ice wall, and the tail feathers that have not yet been exhausted are still shaking slightly.

"Kill them!"

Upon learning that he had lost the opportunity to sneak attack, Nemo decisively ordered the whole army to assault. Countless black shadows roared out of the trees, making it impossible to see which ones were the real enemies and which were the swaying shadows in the night.

With the long-range support of the crossbowmen, the charging soldiers pounced on them from all directions like hungry wolves hunting lambs for slaughter.

Cassius held the defensive wall of ice in one hand and grabbed a handful of the other bucket with the other, and the water in the bucket rose up as if it had come to life, condensed into sharp ice arrows, and shot at the besieging crowd!

In the midst of the screams, the people who rushed to the front fell to the ground. The ice arrows were far sharper than they expected, piercing through the soldier's armor and into the fragile flesh.

Lessons from the past, the soldiers who followed closely behind were no longer reckless, and they used tactical maneuvers to evade in a serpentine manner, and the lethal effect of the ice arrows was greatly reduced.

Cassius also changed his strategy accordingly, dismantling each ice arrow into a dozen tiny ice needles to strike at the enemies around him in all directions. This dense needle rain of ice is not as easy to dodge as the ice arrows, but because the quality has become more penetrating, the soldiers, after paying a certain sacrifice, remember to use the shield to protect themselves, they raised the shield, half-bent their bodies, and let the ice needle rain hit the shield to make a "ding-dong" sound, and moved towards Cassius and Sophia in small steps. Cassius stomped on the ground again, only to see a burst of cold steam pouring out, and the uneven surface of the dry mud turned into a mirror-smooth ice surface in an instant.

While concentrating on defending against the attack on the head, many soldiers ignored the threat under their feet, slipping and falling on the slippery ice one after another, and some unlucky ones even slid backwards like bowling balls, knocking down a large area of their comrades behind.

However, under these multiple blows, a small number of soldiers broke through the obstacles and rushed to the two thinly clothed spellcasters.

Sophia pulled out two short swords hidden in the sleeves of the priest's robes and fended Cassius against the soldiers who had rushed in front of her. Her swordsmanship is not very superb, but as long as she is not besieged by more than 3 people, it is more than enough to deal with ordinary soldiers.

Just as the battle between the two sides was raging, the wall of ice used to defend against bows and arrows disappeared. Not only the ice wall, but also the frozen surface and the rain of ice needles also disappeared in an instant, and the cold quickly receded.

"Oops!" Cassius gritted his teeth, feeling a big headache.

Because the two barrels of spring water have all been used up. Without readily available water, he had to separate the water element from the air in order to create ice, which not only greatly reduced the cast speed, but also skyrocketed the mana cost.

Some people like it, some people are worried. The disappearance of the ice wall made the crossbowmen so happy that they didn't even need to hide, they jumped out of the bushes where they were hiding, and raised their crossbow arrows in the crouching position that was most conducive to accurate shooting.

However, the first two crossbowmen jumped out before they could pull the trigger, they were shot through the throat by two sharp arrows that roared, taking their lives, and frightened the other crossbowmen to quickly hide back in the bushes.

I saw that the hatch of the floating ship had been opened, and a thin black young man, the "hairy thief" who had been caught by the "Lynx" general yesterday but had escaped, was standing under the hatch with a wooden bow.

However, it did not seem that he was in good shape, half of his body was barely standing against the hatch, and the hand holding the wooden bow was shaking, which was the result of barely participating in the battle while he was still seriously injured.

But Joika didn't just appear to snipe the two enemy crossbowmen, he lowered his longbow, grabbed a long object, shouted, "Fat catch!" and threw it at Cassius.

That's the magic wand called "Grip of Endurance".

The baby was back in his hands, and Cassius smiled. He raised the "Endurance Grip" in his hand, and the magic solution inside the crystal ball shook with it. The wand increases Cassius' magic at a massive rate. In an instant, the battlefield was filled with cold air, forming a white and vast frozen mist, obscuring the vision of hundreds of soldiers charging. The ghosts and howls of the soldiers who strayed into it came from the cold mist, although they did not know what terrible attacks they encountered inside, but the soldiers behind them obviously did not receive similar treatment, they stopped in front of the cold mist, unable to advance or retreat, and struggled to move.

"What a hell of a life!" Seeing this situation, Nemo, the "Lynx" as the commander-in-chief, cursed.

Although it was completely possible to force a force into the cold mist and kill only three of the opponent's people with the advantage of his own numbers, Nemo did not know how many casualties he would have to pay and whether the price would be worth bearing.

The change from a sneak attack to a strong attack was beyond Nemo's plan, and in the face of this tricky ice magic, Nemo felt his scalp tingle. After thinking about it several times, Nemo stomped his foot, gritted his teeth and gave an order: "Prepare the tarpaulin and release the rocket!"

The adjutant next to him was taken aback. Originally, against the damn ice, the scorching flame should have been the most correct choice, but the occasion for using it was very wrong. The adjutant hurriedly reminded: "Your Excellency General, even if it is only in name, this is still the territory of the elves, if it causes a forest fire......

"Less of a superfluous heart!" Nemo yelled, lifting the adjutant by the collar, "Execute the order immediately, and I will bear any responsibility!"

The adjutant was stunned, it was the first time he had seen the general lose his temper like this, which showed how anxious the general was......
