Chapter 069: The Lost City of the Leylines (4)
"What a terrible place!"
Dark passages, humid air, slippery moss, dilapidated statues...... This was Wei Zede's first impression of the "Leyline Maze".
Since the "Leyline Maze" has been visited many times by many adventurers, Wei Zede's adventure team of nearly 50 people did not encounter any danger at first, but as the team gradually deepened, the expected attack still came.
When the group descended to the fourth layer of the "Leyline Maze", they were "ambushed" by a group of kobolds who lived with them...... As soon as the adventuring party turned a corner of the underground passage, a raindrop of dense stones was thrown at everyone.
"Shield!"
The direct guards of the Berry family held up their shields in the first place, while the other adventurers showed their talents, some hiding in the corners, some behind the guards, and some wielding their weapons to block the flying stones.
Long before the attack, Wei Zede, who has a high perception attribute, had already sensed the danger, so he was at the back of the group, using the guards as a barrier, and avoided the first wave of attacks with relative ease.
"Damn it! It's a bunch of filthy kobolds! ”
The captain in charge of the command looked angry, he didn't expect these cowardly creatures to have the audacity to attack a heavily armed adventuring party.
"Fight back!"
Under the captain's command, ten soldiers of the guard advanced with shields in hand, and some adventurers with bows and crossbows began to shoot at each other.
"Woo Woo ......"
In a rather "peculiar" roar, more than 200 kobolds with dark brown, black scaly skin, shining eyes, and straight tails like rats swarmed up with messy weapons in their hands.
The short, cunning humanoids shook their dog-headed heads with two small light-colored horns and began a wave of death in a frenzy.
"Damn! Are these kobolds crazy? ”
As Wezed swung his sword and slashed a kobold who rushed in front of him to the ground, he heard a curse from Torik, a dwarf beside him.
At this moment, a "weird" voice came from the direction where the kobold was, sometimes low, sometimes sharp.
"Spellcaster?"
The captain in front of Wei Zede, who was directing the guards to move forward, turned pale: "What the hell! The number of these kobolds is not up to the standard for building a tribe, how can kobold warlocks appear? ”
"Stay out of the way!"
Before the captain of the guard could finish speaking, a faint blue light that emitted a biting chill shot out of the numerous kobold arrays, hitting one of the shield-wielding guards.
"Cook!"
At the exclamation of several comrades, a layer of white frost spread over the shield-wielding guard's body at a speed visible to the naked eye.
"Click......"
Under the rampage of the mad kobold, the shield-wielding guard who had been hit by the spell fell to the ground and shattered into several pieces.
"If it were me, would I be able to withstand this level of spell attack?"
Wei Zede was short, and a few rocks whizzed past his hair.
"Everyone! Listen to my command......"
The captain, armed with a sharp sword, shouted, "Attack forward!" ”
However, at this moment, the problems in the adventurous team were fully exposed.
Wized, the dwarf Torik, the red-eyed barbarian Azda, and the woman in red with a staff of white bones...... Except for the four of them, who obeyed orders and followed the shield-wielding guards forward, the rest of the adventurers stood in place hesitant and wavering.
"Idiot! Hurry up and attack! ”
As he shouted the order, the captain stabbed a sword through the gap between his shields, stabbing a kobold with an improvised spear to the ground.
"The advantage of this guy is that he has outstanding combat power......
Wei Zede, who was watching coldly, couldn't help but pout, and he secretly thought: "It's not a disciplined army, how can a rebellious adventurer stand this kind of anger?" ”
Sure enough, after the captain of the guard shouted out the cursed order, the hesitant adventurers instead sneered and retreated, leaving Wei Zede and the others surrounded by a large number of kobolds.
"To the right! Stick to the wall! ”
In the face of the crisis, the captain of the guard could no longer care about cursing the treacherous adventurers, and he commanded his guards to move closer to the right wall of the underground passage, in order to reduce the pressure of multi-faceted combat.
"Roar!"
With a deafening roar, the barbarian Azda's body grew larger, and with a fiery breath coming out of his mouth and nose, he picked up the huge mace in his hand and slammed straight into the kobold ranks, setting off a storm of flesh and blood.
"Stupid! How can you go crazy at this time!! ”
After stabbing the tip of the base of the bone staff into the eye socket of a kobold, the young woman slammed the kobold's body on its fellow with a backhand.
Due to the barbarian Azda's slaughter, the shield-wielding guards took advantage of the situation and took advantage of the momentum to speed up their steps and came to the right wall of the underground passage.
"Half Moon Array! The front row defends with a shield, and the back row attacks with a sword! ”
When the captain commanded his guards to complete the formation, Wei Zede and the others only felt that the pressure had been reduced a lot.
"Overseer! This guy is no ordinary warrior, but an Overseer! ”
Seeing the captain commanding his subordinates to form a "half-moon array" like an arm, the dwarf Torik's loud voice rang out: "Only this kind of leadership can maintain the morale of his guards and change various battle formations at will!" ”
“…… Isn't it just for me? ”
Wei Zede, who wielded a kobold with a sword, stole a glance at the dwarven warrior.
I saw the dwarf skillfully use the battle axe and shield in his hand to cut the kobold of similar height to pieces.
"Bloody and violent short ......"
Just as Wei Zede was muttering in his mouth, the kobold array once again sounded the sound of that "weird" incantation.
"Damn! That kobold warlock must be eliminated! ”
The captain said loudly: "Otherwise, we won't be able to withstand this 'crowd tactic'......"
Before the captain could finish his words, a hot fireball rolled out of the kobold's array, in the direction of where everyone had formed a formation.
As the kobolds dodged the rolling fireball, a looming passage to the kobolds was revealed.
"Chance!"
After the woman in red saw this situation, a layer of silver light quickly gathered on the tip of the white bone staff in her hand.
"Magic Missile!"
The white bone staff pointed forward, and three silver-white energy bullets arced and dragged a long trail towards the kobold warlock.
