Volume 4 The Confrontation of Light and Darkness One Hundred and Forty-Seven, The War (Part II)
The soldiers hesitated and did not answer, and Jada followed their line of sight and looked around, only to find that behind the monsters, a man and a rider appeared at some point, and they were slowly lining up the monsters and walking towards the city wall.
He smiled as usual, and said to Jada, "My lordship, my friend, don't you recognize me?" I'm back, won't you say welcome? ”
Even though Minter had long known that Sargent was dead, he couldn't help but feel a little moved when he saw this situation, but when "Sargent" got closer, he found that the other party's face was pale with gray blue, his facial expression was a little stiff, and there were dark spots on his neck, so he immediately became vigilant, turned his head to Jada and said, "Don't be fooled! We all know how that goes! ”
Of course, Jada knew this, and at this moment, his heart was full of remorse and anger, and his eyes were almost on fire, and he pulled his bow sharply, ready to shoot the arrow, but he couldn't do it anyway, the "man" under the city wall, who always looked like a friend, made him feel as if he was attacking the real Sargent
Minter caught a glimpse of the monster and was already about to move, and when he saw Jada's appearance, he reached out and held his arrow, and Jeda turned his head violently and asked angrily, "What are you going to do?!" ”
"Calm down, Lord Duke" Minter did not answer directly, but silently recited a short verse of the Illuminati prayer for the dead while holding the arrow, and then said to him, "That's your good friend, Your Excellency, let him rest in peace as soon as possible, and don't let those devils continue to spoil his body."
Jada's eyes were red, he couldn't help himself, and looked at the living corpse under the city who was chattering about his friendship with the United States in the past, and a sharp gaze shot out of his eyes, he took a deep breath, pulled out his bow full, gritted his teeth, and let go, and the arrow shot towards the target like lightning, and a silver light slashed through the darkness
The "Sargent" was about to speak, but he didn't expect him to shoot an arrow with a split, the expression on his face instantly became hideous and terrifying, he held the arrow in his hand, broke it into two pieces with a cruel smile, and then pulled out his waist knife, and turned it into a black rod in a broken way, and with a wave of it, the surrounding demonic beasts roared, and they were all ready to sprint towards the city wall
At this moment, "Sargent" suddenly froze, the black staff fell to the ground, and the whole body began to petrify, and then fell piece by piece, and soon shattered into dust, he was originally riding a ground horse, but at this time, he suddenly stood on the ground and neighed, and in an instant, he turned into a demonic beast, opened his sharp teeth and mouth, and rushed towards the city wall, and the other demonic beasts followed closely
Minter was about to give the order, and a row of high walls had been lifted in front of the monster to block them back, and at the same time, three other earthen walls appeared around the beast that had been turned from a horse, trapping it in the center, and then a huge stone flew out of nowhere, smashed down, and crushed the monster to pieces, and the blood of the black sé splashed through the cracks in the wall of the earth, and wanted to flow to the other monsters, but suddenly a red fire broke out, and in the blink of an eye, nothing happened
Minter opened his mouth and turned his head to look at the spellcaster, but the young magician only raised an eyebrow, and then glanced at the little girl: "See?" This is called a magician, you don't have the ability to go home to your mother as soon as possible, what kind of magic do you learn? ”
The girl's apprentice's little face turned red, her nose twitched, she let out a loud cry, Minter was about to appease her with a headache, but she suddenly cast a wide range of attack magic in the direction of the monster, sending thousands of large rocks flying on the nearby mountains to smash the monster to the ground, although after the spell was cast, she fell to the ground weakly, but her face was full of unyielding expression, glaring at the young magician, who just pouted and carelessly manipulated the huge earth stone to hit the monster
Mint looked angry and funny next to him and hurriedly said, "The two... Two of you! Listen to me! You are all very powerful, but are you fighting a war, listen to my orders, and then cast spells?! ”
The young man glanced at him faintly, let the stone smash straight on the head of the demon beast that rushed to the front, and then stopped moving, and the girl was obedient, but he looked at him with a pitiful face, hinting at his weakness, he turned his head angrily and said to Jada: "Don't be stunned, Your Excellency, give the order to shoot arrows!" ”
Jada took a deep breath and took over command from Shedd, gave the soldiers a few orders, and then shot an arrow at the city, and Mint once again cooperated with the ground movement technique to push the monster step by step to the northwest
Esparo and the others felt that something was wrong, and seeing that the demonic beasts on their side had been unable to break through the earthen wall and ground defense line, they began to get anxious, and the eyes of the man covered in black shone bright red, which looked extremely strange in the darkness, and as soon as he raised his hand, three clouds of black smoke appeared in the air, and gradually transformed into three birds, and rushed straight towards the head of the city wall
Minter recognized that it was a monster bird he had seen before, and his hand immediately turned into several ice arrows, with a little magic attached to them, and handed it to Jada: "Shoot it right away while the magic is still there!" Jada shot three birds, two of which were shot squarely, and the other flew by with his wings
The strange bird in the arrow ground froze, fell to the ground, and shattered into several pieces, the one that was only slightly injured, but screamed and attacked again, and was hit by Shed's arrow, screaming in the air and turning into black smoke again, and then turning into a few smaller black birds, and then rushing to the city wall The soldiers shot it with arrows, but as long as it was hit by an arrow, it would disperse into black smoke, and then it formed again, no matter how it was killed, it couldn't be killed, and more and more people in black in the distance proudly released a few more strange birds Mint saw this and hated, When a blackbird was hit by an arrow, it turned into smoke, and a gust of wind blew it, causing it to be blown away by the wind
This was obviously not a red effect, and the young magician immediately did so, and set off a tornado, only to see the white circle of light flash, and all the strange birds were swept clean, and there was not a single one left
Minter was amazed by the young magician's prowess and gave him an approving look, but seeing the cold and careless look on his face, he felt depressed again, and simply ignored him, and shouted, "Very well, let's go on and drive the enemies there!" ”
All the apprentices responded in unison, especially the girl's voice, she seemed to have forgotten the fear just now and attacked the demonic beast with great energy, in fact, compared to the other apprentices, her real strength was obviously much stronger, but with the change of mood, her performance was very unstable
The demonic beast was gradually forced away, and the mana of several people two or three hundred meters away from the city wall could no longer support long-distance spell casting Minter looked to the northwest with a telescope, and the demonic beast on the other side had been driven to the vicinity of the destination, so he told Jada, who immediately ordered in a loud voice: "Archers!" Out of town! So he personally took a thousand elite cavalry and rode out of the city to chase after him
They were all the best marksmen, and they brought a few large bags of iron arrows and three or four bows, but they wore light rattan armor, which was not as hard as iron armor, but it protected the soldiers from being easily injured when they fell, and lightened their loads, and they rode their horses and shot arrows all the way, forcing the monsters to retreat again and again
Minter and the other magicians also got into the carriage and followed, originally he considered that the girl was the most old and scared and wanted her to stay, but she insisted on following, although when she said this, her lips were still trembling, and the fighter was urgent, Minter didn't say much, and directly led the people to the car and set off
They cast magic all the way under the protection of the cavalry, forcing the monster step by step to the planned flat ground, and it didn't take long for them to meet the team on the other side, and Esparo and the others found that something was wrong, and they were about to command the monster to break through, but the ground around them suddenly shook violently
A row of thick earthen walls rose from the ground, starting from the southeast, rapidly extending along the left and right sides, and then gradually closing half a kilometer away, forming a circle with a diameter of one kilometer, Esparo and the others saw that the situation was not good, and hurriedly rode the demonic beast to the gap at a high speed, trying to escape from the earthen wall captivity
The earth wall became faster and faster, rising higher and higher until it stopped at ten meters, and as the wall finally closed, the entire wall looked like a huge column, and all the demonic beasts were surrounded inside, letting out angry roars
Minter saw from a distance a white-bearded magician wearing a dark gray robe, standing sixty or seventy meters away from the column, holding a staff to cast spells, a yellow-brown spar embedded in the staff was emitting a dazzling light, and as the sound of the spell in his mouth increased, the sky and the earth suddenly changed, and countless sand and stones rolled in from all directions, whistling into the wall, and the roar of the demonic beast became even louder
The ground shook so badly that many soldiers fell off their horses, but fortunately they were not seriously injured, Minte clung to the side of the carriage, and turned around to ask about everyone's situation, but saw the girl screaming, holding the corner of the young magician's robe tightly in her hand, but the latter didn't care about scolding her at the moment, he was staring straight at the situation of the great magician casting spells, and muttered: "It turns out that large-scale magic can really cause changes in the weather, it seems that the views in Master Stevenson's "Magic and the Atmosphere of the Universe" are not unreasonable, so why does the teacher say that it is a fallacy?" Has no one ever discovered that the intense movement of magical elements triggers the movement of air and thus affects the climate? Is the natural climate something that can be changed by magic..."
Minter only heard a few words, but didn't understand what he was saying, so he jumped out of the carriage and looked into the distance
There was a sound of gouging in the earthen wall, but the wall was thickened again, and Etta and the others led a team of soldiers to transport the artillery forward, but it was difficult to find out where those demonic beasts were located in the wall, no one knew where to hit the shells in such a large area?
Minter was a little anxious, even a great magician might not be able to cast such a large-scale magic for a long time, so he couldn't help but say to himself, "It would be nice if I could see the situation inside"
"You can see that Ai only needs to use the water mirror technique" The voice of the young magician came from behind him, "It's a pity that I don't have enough magic, otherwise I can cast it"
Minter hurriedly asked, "How can I replenish your magic?" ”
The young man said: "Just like that great magician, with the help of magic crystals, I only have a small magic crystal of light in my hand, and I can't support large magic."
Minter remembered that among the things left by his grandfather, there were a lot of magic crystals, and there were also water-based ones, which could be used for water mirrors, so he hurriedly took out one from the ring: "How about this one?" Big enough, right? ”
The young man was stunned, and hurriedly took the magic crystal: "Enough is enough, you half-tone apprentice, where did you get such a good thing?!" At that moment, Minter noticed that in the sleeves of his wide magic robe, there seemed to be a silver bracer with an eight-pointed star on it, could it be that he was a cultist of the god of light?
Before he could see it clearly, the young man had already begun to act, holding the magic crystal tightly with one hand, casting a spell with the other, and soon hit a huge water mirror directly above the cylinder, although it was not clear, but he could clearly see the distribution of the demonic beasts
Etta was overjoyed when he saw this, and hurriedly instructed everyone to adjust the angle of the artillery, and it didn't take long to put dozens of cans of oil into it, and heard the sound of oil cans shattering from inside the wall, and several magicians who were ready to work together, countless fireballs flew into the wall, and with a hula, the fire was blazing
With the help of the magicians, the fire burned much brighter than usual, and when the day dawned and the earthen wall was removed, and the whole flat ground was left with only black ash, and when the wind blew, it scattered in all directions, but it touched the grass and the grass began to wilt
But the total destruction of the monster still made everyone rejoice, and people high-fived and hugged each other to celebrate this hard-won victory, and the young magicians on Minte's side jumped for joy, and the girl still hugged the young magician and shouted, who desperately pushed away, but she glared at her, and went to hug the others again
Minter looked amused, so he walked up to him and said, "Thank you very much for your help this time, you are... Alex Magician, right? He didn't seem to mention his last name
Alex nodded faintly, and turned to look for the Great Magician, Minter reluctantly turned back, only to find that Jada was not there, as if he hadn't seen him long before the fire started, where did he go?
It wasn't until noon that Mint heard that Jada had returned with the soldiers, and he rushed to the North End, but saw that the Nogar army was packing, and hurriedly found Jada and asked, "Where did you just go?" The marshal is looking for you, why are you in such a hurry to leave? ”
Jada replied sullenly, "The man ran away"
