Shaonan's commander was a middle-aged man in his forties, with a solemn expression, although he was dressed like an officer, but the wand inserted in his waist revealed his other identity I saw him draw his wand and send a blue light signal towards the sky, and the magicians on the entire city wall immediately took their places, and several of the great magicians raised their staffs in their hands, and the magic crystals inlaid on them were shining

The commander emitted another red light, and then, the river under the city suddenly surged, and soon set off a wave, rising higher and higher, overwhelmingly rushing towards the demonic beasts When the demonic beasts struggled to rush up, the second wave of magic arrived, and the silver light flashed, and all the river water stained with the demonic beasts became frozen, and in a blink of an eye, the dozens of demonic beasts that rushed to the front were frozen into ice

The attack of the monster slowed down for a while, and the monster behind it ignored the fact that its companions in front of them were trapped in the ice, bypassed them, or crawled over them, and continued to rush towards the city wall, and then suffered the fate of their companions again

Huge ice blocks were piled up all over the riverbed and riverbank, blocking the flow of the river this time, and the dozens of demonic beasts that escaped at the end finally retreated, and everyone breathed a sigh of relief, cheered, and re-alerted under the reminder of the commander

Minter looked at the piles of ice in the distance, and the monsters trapped in the ice and couldn't move, and sighed, "That's amazing... The magicians in Shaonan are really strong" Vasily and other colleagues in the Security Service next to him also nodded in agreement, "This is not moving" Alex suddenly poured cold water behind them, he had just finished purifying the water and climbed up again, he had already witnessed the passage of the magicians in Shaonan intercepting the demonic beasts

Minter asked unconvinced, "Aren't they amazing?" Solve all the monsters in one go! It's not like we did back then."

Alex sneered: "Just trapping them with ice cubes doesn't mean killing them, if the monsters are so easy to freeze to death, there will be no snow monsters, this variant of the beasts in the snow field, we are in the West Branch, at least we burned them to ashes, but now, it just stopped the pace of their attack, even the method, it is not necessarily perfect, you don't believe it, just look at the river outside"

Minter didn't understand what he meant, and hurriedly looked under the city wall, and found that the river had become very shallow, and the silt at the bottom of the river was clearly visible, and the slightly grayish and black ice that had just been thrown out was half-submerged in the water, and there was a circle of dead fish lying around him, "This is..."

"This magic is achieved by using river water, and now the river water is frozen into ice, but it can't be recycled, so it will naturally become less and less, as long as the demonic beast comes a few more times, and when there is no water to use, what should I do? Isn't it possible to use the water element to condense? After Alex finished speaking, he raised his hand and pointed in the direction of the riverbank, "Just now, the ashes of the living corpses were slightly stained, we all have to purify the water, what will happen to the water, and the riverbed area that has been crawled by the demonic beasts?" With this dam, you might be able to keep the water from flowing over, but what about the land next to it? ”

Minter looked at the water that flowed down from the upstream, bypassing the ice cubes, slowly pouring into the riverbed or seeping into the land by the river, his heart became heavy, and what Alex said was right, but trapping the monsters with ice blocks to earn money could not destroy them, and when the ice melted, they would come out again to do evil, even if it was not the whole ice melting, as long as a limb of the monster land was exposed, it might escape, he would not forget the weird blackbirds in the demon domain, and the mutated monsters under the walls of Sico

"So what to do?" He asked, "Can it be purified with your light magic?" ”

Alex sneered: "How is that possible? I'm just a junior magician, and that's what a god can do."

"Is it okay for the Monk of Light?" Minter's eyes lit up: "By the way, the monster is afraid of the magic of the Light God Cult, let's ask the Van people for help!" ”

Alex frowned: "What kind of dream talk?!" Van Ah doesn't care about what's going on outside, how can it come? ”

Minter was a little discouraged, and when Vasily saw him, he patted him on the shoulder and comforted: "There will always be a way, I will report to the higher authorities to see if I can negotiate with the Van and A. side through diplomatic channels."

Alex showed a hint of mockery at the corner of his mouth, and was about to say something, but he heard a burst of exclamation from nearby, and Mint and the others looked around and saw that it was the magicians who had moved, and Vasily hurriedly ran over to ask what was going on, only to know that the great magician who had issued the ice spell just now had collapsed and fainted because his magic power had been exhausted, and many low-level magicians hurriedly helped him down the city wall and sent him back to the camp to rest

Minter was stunned: "Is this magic cost so serious?" How long will it take to recover? ”

"If there is a good magic weapon, it will probably take a break for two or three days" Alex is not in the mood to mock now, "Such a large amount of magic, even if there is a good staff and magic crystal, it is not something that ordinary people can afford, if the entire line of defense is done by the magicians on the ground, then even if the magicians of the whole Shaonan land go into battle together, they may not be able to hold on for a long time"

Mint was anxious, but Vasily ran back and said to them solemnly: "Go back and rest immediately!" Tomorrow morning, we have a task."

Hey? Minter and the others were a little confused, Vasily urged them again and again, and they had to obediently go back to the hotel to sleep, Minter was always thinking about what was going on tonight, and couldn't sleep over and over, so he had to drink a dose of sleeping water

When they gathered in the town square the next morning, they found that not only their security department participated in the operation, but also the elite cavalry team of Shaonan, as well as dozens of junior and intermediate magicians in the mainland, including Alex, all dressed up very neatly, riding tall horses, waiting to leave

The leader of the team was a Shaonan officer, and after a few whispers with Vasily, he shouted to everyone: "Everyone! Our task today is to protect the magician, follow up on the Warcraft iceberg, and at the same time search for traces of the escaped Warcraft, please pay attention, do not leave your horse as much as possible, do not leave alone, act collectively, and report it immediately if you find suspicious clues! ”

Everyone said "yes" in unison, and then they set off, they did not walk from the river, but around the back of the town, and went out from the mountain road, Mint noticed that the city wall, all the way to here, the mountain road is passable, but the terrain is a little high, for the monster, I am afraid that it will not be able to climb over

Coming to the "iceberg" where the ice blocks trapped by the monster were piled up, the magicians began to act, they first used the suspension technique to float the ice in the riverbed, and wanted to move them to the open space next to them, but they didn't expect to be careless for a while, and a piece of ice was knocked off a corner, and the monster that was originally frozen in it, his left foot broke free, and he immediately kept kicking up, and kicked another piece of ice out of the crack

Everyone was taken aback, Alex reacted the most, and immediately made up an ice sealing technique, and then several magicians with the deepest magic also cast spells one after another, and finally froze the two pieces of ice again, and people breathed a sigh of relief, but also a little afraid, so they had to decide not to move the ice cubes anymore just in case, and to make up for all the ice cubes once

Some of the cavalry stood guard on the perimeter, and some of them followed the magicians in full armor to prevent any changes in the monsters, Vasily made a gesture to Minter and the others, and led them to search for energy dissipation west of the river bank to find traces of the monster's escape

After searching for most of the day, nothing was found, the magician had finished his work and sent someone to ask them to go back, Vasily had to order them to return, and before they rode through a hill, a colleague of the Security Department found that there were several vague foot flies on the dirt surface of the grass on the side of the road, apparently not belonging to humans or livestock, so they immediately reported to Vasily, who took the lead and led the people to follow the foot flies step by step over the hill to a valley, and then cut off the clue

Minter looked around at the weeds and wild trees, and suddenly noticed something suspicious about the mountain vines in front of him: "Look there! Is there a cave?! ”

Vasily immediately rode over, Minter and the others hurriedly followed, and suddenly saw Vasily waving in front of them to signal them to stop, and was puzzled, when he heard a sighing sound, and immediately became vigilant

A black shadow suddenly pounced out of the cave and attacked Vasily, who raised the knight's spear and stabbed the black shadow in the face, but the man was shaken off his horse by the force of the recoil, and the horse neighed, and was immediately struck by the black shadow, and in a blink of an eye he lost his breath

Minter, who was following him, immediately recognized that the black shadow was a demonic beast, and was so frightened that he hurriedly conjured up an ice sword, chanted the prayer of the Cult of Light, and kept slashing at the demonic beast a few times, screaming, struggling to pounce on him, but was stopped by the arrows of other colleagues in the Security Department

Minter took the opportunity to increase the sound of the prayer, and the monster retreated, whining from his mouth, and Vasily took the opportunity to turn over the horses of his subordinates and shouted: "Call the magician!" The last man in the line immediately turned his horse's head and went to tell the news

Without waiting for the magician to arrive, Minter first forced the beast back into the cave with earth manipulation, and then raised an earthen wall to block the entrance to the cave

Alex arrived first, and when he saw this, he dropped a sentence of "well done" and drilled a hole in the earthen wall, and then threw a fire into it, and several magicians who followed him did the same, and when Minter took back the earthen wall, everyone saw that the hole was charred black, and there were seven or eight demonic beasts that became black charcoal, and some magicians made up a few magicians, and the black charcoal became charcoal powder

Minter frowned when he found that the monsters were obviously newborn, and gently rolled up a wind to blow the charcoal powder away, and saw that there was a magic circle painted on the flat land, and it was twice as large as he had ever seen

Alex stepped forward to inspect it, turned around and said solemnly: "This is the magic circle Minte that can carry twelve demonic beast eggs, you look at these lines, are they the same as the kind of drawing you have seen in Nuojia?" ”

Minter hurriedly stepped forward to take a look, and sure enough, it was burned in some way, not a random figure, he took out a dagger, scratched it and tried it, and was immediately bounced away by a force He looked up and said to Alex: "That's it, any vandalism doesn't work"

Alex said in a deep voice: "You get out of the way first, let me try" After Minter walked away, he used a ground movement technique, took the ground and just shook it, the magic array did not suffer any damage, but he was knocked to the ground by the magic of anti-addiction, and Minter hurriedly helped him up: "No, right?" The stronger the strength, the stronger the rebound, it's different from the array you destroyed, there is a protective magic in it."

Alex pursed his lips and stared at the magic array with his eyes glued to the god

"Let me try" An intermediate magician stepped forward and casually cast several spells on the magic array, but whether it was fire, water, thunder, splitting or ice, he couldn't shake the magic array for half a minute, but he himself was a little embarrassed by the magic power, and finally only came to one conclusion: "This must be the most complex ancient method to draw the magic array, and if you want to destroy it with a protective function, you must first destroy the power source of its land!" ”

When Minter heard this, he immediately looked at the center of the magic array, the thin layer of soil couldn't hide the bright red light, he thought to himself that this was obviously the energy center of the magic array, probably the kind of soul magic crystal that Father Riddle had mentioned, but how to destroy it?

The intermediate magician used a thunder split, straight to the red light, but there was no reaction Vasily frowned, stabbed the spear he picked up, the red light flashed, the gun was bounced back, and then the archery knife slashed the sword, it was useless, and the light magic only made the red light slightly dim, and it could not destroy the magic array at all

The Shaonan officer who led the team rushed over when he heard the news, his face was a little gloomy when he saw this, and he turned his head and asked a subordinate behind him: "This kind of thing appears here, why hasn't anyone found it?!" ”

The subordinate, probably a local, replied: "This cave was originally used to store grain, but after the granary was built in the village, this place was deserted, and a beggar died here last year, everyone felt ominous, so they didn't dare to come here, and they didn't find that there was an extra magic array here."

The officer snorted coldly, turned to a tall and thin middle-aged man among the magicians and asked, "What do you think should be done?" ”

The middle-aged man said lightly: "Since you can't destroy the magic array itself, then don't let the demonic beast leave this cave, just like the young man from East did just now" Mint folded, facing everyone's eyes, smiled embarrassedly

Everyone withdrew from the cave together, and then several magicians worked together, first pressing several boulders on the magic array, and then conjuring an earthen wall to seal the entrance of the cave, and then hitting several earth-based magics in a row, sealing all the small holes in the cave, and finally casting a hardening technique, which increased the hardness of the mountain wall and all the surrounding land surfaces, so as to prevent the demonic beasts from escaping

When everyone was walking on the way back to Ori, someone suddenly asked a question: "Although that magic array is large, it is impossible to transport so many magic beasts, right?" Did the Demonic Beast come from the Weisha Desert, or did we not know that there was still such a magic array? ”

Everyone's faces changed when they heard this, and several magicians looked at each other, and immediately decided on the next few days' actionsVasily also expressed his willingness to contribute, but Minter remained silent

When he got back to town, he grabbed Alex and pulled him into his room, saying, "Listen, Alex, it's not okay to go on like this!" The monsters are just trapped and can't be burned to death now, those magic arrays or something, no one knows where they are, even if we run out every day to find them, who can guarantee that we will be able to find them all?! And it will definitely be like today, even if it is found, it can only be sealed with a stupid way, and it can't be destroyed at all, if the magic array is located outdoors, what if it?! ”

"Of course I know what you're talking about, but what can I do?!" Alex's face stinks, and this feeling of knowing what the problem is, but not being able to solve it, is really terrible

Minter clenched his arm: "Go to Van A, go to the bishops of the Cult of Light!" Let them use that magic! That's the only way to deal with these monsters! ”
