Chapter 64: Guarding the Town
The militias of Pompa and Osa never took these children seriously. Secretly, they didn't talk about Xiao Chen's arrangement for these oil bottles to come to their village.
Some even feel that this arrangement has dragged down the combat effectiveness of their village. But after Umeda took advantage of this opportunity to let them see the power of magic, everyone's attitude was reversed almost instantly.
The militia warriors all came to the little mages with great interest, hoping to get a magic blessing or two from them.
In addition to hoping to complete the work of clearing the field faster, more people want to experience this kind of thing that they have never seen before.
When a few of them helped some of the militia members who had suffered skin injuries during logging and work, they were able to heal their wounds. Their popularity has risen to a higher level, although Ji Yijun has also introduced these mages at the beginning, who can prevent and control the plague of black water disease, but after all, the locals have never seen the horror of this plague, and they have no feeling for this ability of the mage. But today, although Umeda demonstrated some basic magic, he really helped them and did things that they would not normally have imagined.
Ji Yijun looked at Umeda and the others, who were not very popular with him, but now they were surrounded by those militiamen like stars. sighed and said: "This girl, at such an old age, is so good at fiddling with people's hearts, and she will clean up the militia who originally looked down on them in three or two clicks, and it is amazing to grow up." ”
"But that's a good thing, at least the militia should have more faith in our power," Pompa said. ”
According to the original plan, it could take two days to cut down the trees outside the city walls and clear enough ground. But as soon as Umeda came out like this, the efficiency of the militia increased exponentially, and they seized the time to work for an afternoon, and basically cleaned up the surrounding field.
The sun was about to set, and Osa and the five militiamen, plus Umedada, came to the last place where the trees gathered, and as long as they were cut down, the area around the stone wall would be truly cleared.
When Umeda was about to perform a corrosive technique, her heart tightened, and she instinctively leaned to the side. A sharp arrow grazed her cheek and nailed it directly to the tree.
There were a few short roars from the side, and four or five arrows were stuck in the bodies of Osa and several other militiamen.
Fortunately, however, in order to prevent the shock of the axe from hurting their bodies, Umeda and the others applied tenacity to these militiamen.
The arrows fired by the sneak attackers pierced the throat of one of the militiamen, killing him, but the other arrows were caught in their magically strengthened muscles, and they failed to penetrate and injure their internal organs.
At this time, everyone else finally reacted, and Osa shouted loudly: "Enemy attack!"
He took the axe he used to cut the tree in his hand and waved it twice, and the others finally understood what was happening, and they all took their tools as weapons, bent their waists, and began to look for the enemy's origin.
It may be that the attack of the arrows just now was too sudden, but the performance of Wu Zibin was not flattering, and some of them cast spells indiscriminately without a goal. Some of them are looking for cover and running around, but they don't know how to fight the enemy calmly.
Even Umedada felt his heartbeat racing wildly, and a cold sweat fell from his head. No matter how high her level is, how calm she usually is, and even fought with Chang Lin, she still panicked when she encountered such a surprise attack.
For the first time, Umeda shouted in front of them: "Calm down, calm down! The enemy is coming from the west, and we ...... We have to do a good job of defending in that direction. Ahh
She hid in a panic when an arrow came at her, almost hitting her in the shin.
At the critical moment, she was stopped by the waist and picked up, it turned out to be an arrow shot by Osa, who protected her with his body, picked her up, and rushed behind the cover.
The militia companions also picked up the other children and rushed to the places where they could hide.
As they ran, the opponent's archers did not let them go, and in his panic, Umeda saw at least three arrows from the other side shooting at Ossa.
Ossa rushed behind a rock with her in his arms, and when he put Umedada down, he snorted in pain, and Umeda saw that he had four arrows stuck in his back, and he was also hit in his left arm holding her.
"You seem to be badly injured! I'll treat you. She reached for the arrow on his arm.
"Don't pull it out, more blood will come out. Osa stopped her, "It's too late now, you see they're coming." ”
Umeda poked his head out slightly, and saw that the arrows were shot from the woods not far away, and six or seven enemies saw that they had found cover here, and they all walked out of the woods while shooting.
She found that these people were not ordinary soldiers, almost everyone had fighting spirit and blood, this was a typical master team, most of them should be low-level warriors, the one at the head seemed to be the most imposing, it seemed to be much more powerful than the others, maybe it was still a high-level!
"Little mage, these people are very powerful, the platoon leader and the head of Ji are still at the other end of the village, it will take some time to come over, but they are about to rush over, you ...... Can your magic deal with them?"
Umedada's hand holding the stone trembled slightly, and she said, "If someone drags them down, I will have time to cast spells, otherwise they will force them together, and I won't be able to deal with so many people in one go." Unless they help me, ......"
She looked left and right in a panic, and her companions were running and hiding with the militia, not at all looking like they could fight back.
"That's right. Ossa hesitated for a second or two, then spoke again, "I'll hold them back." ”
"You, you're just an ordinary warrior, these people can kill any of them, kill you. Umeda stammered.
"You can't escape, little mage, you avenge me. Osa couldn't say much for a reason, and before Umedada could say anything more, he grabbed the axe and rushed out of the rock.
"Wait a minute, you're going to die!!" Umeda shouted.
"But you're children!" said Osa without replying.
"Wait a minute, magic!" Umedada realized that she had lost her composure at all, and she had to apply a stone skin spell on Osa to defend against melee damage, and then add a wind shield to protect him against ranged attacks. Then he began to quickly calculate what spells to use against the enemies that were closing in on Osa.
Ice guns, fireballs, or psychic magic? She was thinking about spells one by one, and she forgot to protect herself.
