Chapter 42: Well done
Li Xun relied on the sober necklace to automatically return to the devil, and volunteered to monitor the ghost team in the sky. Li Xun's current equipment is also a shotgun, except for the near-legendary staff that dare not show his head, the arcane robe, the sober necklace, the wind boots, and the fireball ring are all worn. Although these equipment are scarce, as long as you are willing to spend the capital, you can still buy them in the auction house, and you are not afraid of what others associate with them. In this mission team, only the Marquis and His Excellency the Archmage are indispensable, and the rest can be discarded when necessary, of course, the price of the mage's discarding will be more expensive, so he can't help but show his value, so as not to be sacrificed as useless cannon fodder.
Li Xun never pinned his safety on others. When he really encounters an enemy that is so powerful that it is unmatched, Li Xun will definitely use the Void Passage to escape as soon as possible, so he doesn't mind being more heroic with the gold medal for avoiding death.
After a bit of scrambling, the camp finally had a look. Casas couldn't wait to get into the tent and fell asleep, the Marquis and the archmage who had not taken off his hood stayed by the campfire to keep silent guard, the knights were busy preparing to eat with intact physical strength, and the knights who were scratched by the spirit did not dare to hold on, and after being dissipated by the mage, the negative energy on the wound was hastily eaten and went into the tent to rest, of course, the light armor still did not dare to leave. Li Xun found a duffel bag to cushion his waist, and half-lay down and raised his head to monitor the remaining spirits in the distance. In fact, with Li Xun's soul vision, there is no need to be so careful, even if he closes his eyes, he can sense the soul fluctuations around him, but he has to make a show to prevent his own people from discovering their peculiarities.
The ghost team in the distance took this opportunity to recover the damage they had suffered, and more than twenty undead began to move again.
**The banshee whispered, and the two ghosts around her slowly began to fade, turning into an almost transparent virtual body, and under the cover of the night, they lowered their height and began to approach the camp against the ground. With such a small number of troops, it seems that they don't plan to carry out any real attacks, so they just play harassment so that humanity can't rest in peace.
"You go on doing your thing, and you can rest in peace no matter what happens!"
Li Xun reminded in a loud voice, and the knights who were busy in the camp were still a little confused, but the archmage by the campfire nodded knowingly, and explained a few words to the marquis.
When the two ghosts slowly drifted close to the camp 10 meters away, Li Xun stood up suddenly, and a magic missile and a colorful jet hit the bodies of the two ghosts respectively, and it was not a joke to take 200% magic damage when the virtual body was empty, and the two ghosts immediately screamed and turned into ashes.
His Excellency the Archmage couldn't help but sigh to the Marquis: "It's a good seedling, it seems that his talent is soul induction, such a talent can't be wasted casually!"
The Marquis didn't say a word, but carefully revisited the young mage and sighed quietly. The Principality's mission was to win over the remnants of the Morohedh royal family in order to deal with the powerful "neighbors" in the future, so it was necessary to rush to the city of Eliad before there was a new movement in the coalition forces. In order to be safe, he can prepare an escape scroll in his arms, but it can only be used for three people to return to the Grand Duke's Mansion in Pyrbon City in an instant, and His Excellency the Archmage and himself, plus a future royal envoy of Moroorhead, have no extra ability to bring others back. However, as long as they break through the undead-controlled area and negotiate the details in the city of Eliad, the members of the mission can return to the Duchy of Novis by sea, and they will not suffer too much damage. Who doesn't want to pull such a special talent mage into the team, but unfortunately I heard that His Royal Highness the Prince has noticed this young mage and has shown favor to him many times, and he can't make a mistake with His Royal Highness the Prince, so he can only give up wooing.
Now it is only nearly 200 miles away from the border of the undead control area, in fact, as long as you go another 100 miles, the control of the undead will decline rapidly, after all, the undead also need to have a buffer zone with the coalition forces, so as long as you complete the 100 miles safely, you will be 100% sure of completing the following journey.
This is clear to himself, and the undead are also clear, since they have been discovered by the undead forces, the subsequent attacks are estimated to be continuous, and the knights under his command can only abandon once they are injured and affect their speed.
Humans need to camp and rest, the ghost team can be tireless, according to the past habits, they have long stepped forward to harass, but just now seeing the performance of the human mage, ** Banshee gave up one by one to go up to die, on the one hand, sent 2 ghosts back to ask Lord Heliath for help, on the other hand, why began to press the territory with large soldiers, leading the remaining 20 men to press forward to a height of 100 meters above the human camp. Although this place has entered the attack range of the mage, it is not a threat with the spell level of the two middle-level mages below, on the contrary, if the mages below can't stand the pressure and take the initiative to attack, the **banshee will be very happy.
The Banshees have now begun to find a way to deal with their enemies. The scattered men pounced on the enemy's camp in unison, and if the enemy was on guard, he quickly pulled up and withdrew from the mage's attack range, and once the enemy was ready to rest, he repeated the action just now. If the enemy really thinks that the undead are just bluffing, then the many ghostbound spirits rush into the camp at a high speed and concentrate on attacking a few knights, trying to inflict maximum damage on the enemy.
It also really works. So after resting for two hours, the Marquis had to call everyone up, put away the tent, and began to march.
Although the rest was too short and the quality of the rest was not high, Casas could only yawn and follow the middle of the group. The knights who were able to select to participate in the escort were also worthy of being members of the elite knights of the principality, and the protection work was also meticulous during the march, several knights who were more seriously injured walked in front with the support of their companions, and the knights in good condition walked at the end of the line to keep on guard.
So the team barely moved on, and from time to time a magic missile or a powerful ray flew out of the team to disperse the undead who were too close.
After walking 70 miles, the team stopped and reformed into a circle to prepare for defense.
Enemy reinforcements have arrived!
The 13-level ghost lord Hylias personally led the team, and there were about 200 spirit creatures densely packed behind, and there were ghosts, resentful ghosts, fearful spirits, ** banshees, and even the sharp-eyed Li Xun also saw a level 9 flying wing night shadow inside. Damn, do you want to be so exaggerated, with the strength shown by your own team, it is also worth sending a flying squadron by the undead forces? It seems that His Excellency the Archmage will not be able to hide.
Li Xun, who didn't dare to slack off, began to preemptively bless himself with protection: mage armor, shield technique, false life, protection against energy damage, protection against evil, and hazy technique, and then helped the earl to also bless various protections, winning the marquis's nod of greetings.
Looking at the slowly approaching undead flying squadron in the air, Archmage Andoris Dilaso snorted coldly, removed his hood and floated to a low altitude to confront the other party.
cough, Li Xun sighed, the big people in this world are too particular about face! If an archmage hides, and when the undead attack with all his might, he suddenly makes a sneak attack, and it is not a problem to easily destroy 1/3 of the enemy in front of him. However, this is probably the arrogance of an archmage, and he can't look down on the group of ants in front of him.
The archmage's sudden appearance also caused a panic on the other side.
The level 13 ghost lord was reprimanding this ** banshee who had lost his soldiers and lost his troops after he arrived, and before he finished speaking, he found that a violent wave of magic power suddenly came from the human team, and with the rise of an elderly mage, Helias lost his voice and said: "Archmage!"
Ignoring this obviously derelict subordinate, Helialas flickered to the front of the group, carefully looked at the archmage opposite, and asked in a ghostly shrill voice:
"Your Excellency the Archmage, Helialas greets you, may I ask your name, and what is the purpose of your sudden entry into Lord Hovis's territory?"
"I'm Andoris Dilaso, the archmage of the Duchy of Novis, and I'm just passing through here, with no intention of fighting you, and I hope you can get out of the way and not cause further damage. ”
"Your Excellency Archmage Andoris Dilasso, it is our pleasure to have you, and Lord Hervis would like to invite you to the city of Muspur. ”
The archmage sneered: "It's still not necessary, you go back and tell the vampire prince Hovis, and come back to visit another day." ”
"Human, don't overestimate yourself, be obedient and stay!"
How dare Hylias let the other party go easily, he had already informed Muspur City with a secret method, and now he could only try to entangle the other party and wait for Lord Hovis to arrive.
In the face of an archmage, it is not sure that it will leave the other party, but it can still do it by leaving the remaining people, which can be regarded as an explanation to Lord Hovis. If there are one or two more big people in the remaining, maybe they can make a contribution and get the praise of the adults.
Now that his face was torn, Heliath gave an order, and the elite team brought by the Fear Binding Spirit, ** Banshee, and Flying Wing Night Shadow mixed in the ghost binding spirit and pounced on the archmage, and from the team brought, a group of more than 50 ghosts and resentful ghosts converged with the original ** Banshee remnant team, and rushed straight to the human team below.
The elite troops brought by this group of ghost lords are not like the previous batch of soft-footed crabs, and basically all of them have spell-like abilities, and if they rush closer, they can rely on spell-like to drown this small team.
Li Xun couldn't appreciate the archmage's spell-casting skills, gritted his teeth fiercely, bullying the opponent's spell casting distance, and a cold winter ring erupted in the middle of their team, basically enveloping nearly half of the opponent's troops. The beautiful ice flower froze the bodies of the 22 spirits in an instant with the extreme cold, and the frost mist that filled the explosion also slowed the movements of the surrounding spirits, giving each of them a blue lace.
This extremely beautiful and ruthless spell attracted the attention of the audience for a while, and everyone and the undead paused for a moment and sighed before continuing their previous action.
Casas's rapid incantation had also stopped, and an ice storm mixed with snow particles and ice guns swept towards the remnants of the spirits, and the spirits that had been slowed down could not escape the spell range in time, and they all turned into powder.
Half of the men who attacked the human defense circle were wiped out before they could reach the cast range, a result that made Heliath irritable, and the ghost's characteristic voice echoed through the sky, and the besieging team of the archmage once again split up to join the warband below, including the winged Nightshade.
"Well done!" Casas shouted excitedly at Li Xun.
The surrounding knights immediately raised Li Xun to the same status as Casas in their hearts, this is a middle-level mage who has just been promoted, who has ever seen such a powerful spell! He is also more hopeful for his future, and he will definitely be able to get out of the undead area alive today!
