Wang Jiyuan turned around and saw Morey, who was wearing a white coat and dressed as a scientific researcher, walked into the headquarters. He pulled Morey to the window, shoved the binoculars into his hand, pointed to the high platform in the distance, and asked, "Look, what are they doing?"

Morey held up the binoculars and observed, and after a while he judged, "This is a wild mage, it doesn't seem to be very skilled, with the help of the power of the scroll to build this high platform, I guess he is going to unleash attack magic on us on the high platform." ”

Sure enough, a few minutes later, many people climbed up to the high platform one after another, they erected a flagpole on the high platform, hung a blood-colored scimitar flag, and the figure in the robe appeared with another scroll and began to cast spells. This time, the point of light revealed is red.

"He's going to unleash a siege magic. This magic is cast slowly, but powerfully. He pulled up his sleeve slightly, revealing a mechanical watch, "It will take about twenty minutes to fully unleash this magic." ”

"Siege magic? Ji Xun asked.

"Judging by this pattern...... It should be a large multi-burst fireball. Morey's expression grim, "This magic can probably cover the size of the entire playground, and if it hits the position, it is enough to burn everyone in the position to charcoal in an instant." If it hits this building, it will be enough to burn the whole building. ”

"It's all in time for bombs. It would be dangerous to have a few more of our positions. Wang Jiyuan frowned.

Morey said: "One is already the limit, judging from his gestures and the speed at which the magic pattern is completed, he is really reluctant to use this scroll." Once this magic is released, his mental power will definitely be depleted. Moreover, the scrolls of this kind of siege magic are very rare, and the average nobleman may not have a few in his hands, so it is really strange that there will be wild mages who use this kind of scroll against us. I don't believe he'll be able to pull out a second one. ”

"Then can the defensive magic array you arranged in advance withstand it?" asked Wang Jiyuan.

"As long as I control the defensive circle myself, it should be fine. Morey nodded slightly, "But limited by time and materials, the magic array only covers the main position area at the gate. You can't take care of it anywhere else. Not with your command, for example. ”

"Do you want the people from the other positions to withdraw first?" Ji Xun anxiously looked at the magic pattern that was still flashing red, it was getting brighter and brighter.

"We can't withdraw! The enemy may just want us to do it. What if we take advantage of our retreat and the horse thieves make a surprise attack?" Wang Jiyuan vetoed.

"But if we are left on the head by that thing, we can't afford such losses, at least we have to withdraw the main force. One or two observation posts were left at each position. If the enemy surprises, we will regain our positions. Ji Xun argued.

Wang Jiyuan frowned and lowered his head in thought, "Maybe, we can find another way......"

"Are you going to send someone to raid that mage? It's a good idea, and while it's dangerous for someone to do it, it's better than putting everyone in danger. Battalion commander, let me lead the team!" Ji Xun glanced at the horse thief scouts wandering around the school, "It is feasible to sneak through the ditch on the side of the road. ”

"Where do you think of it, this is to die. We have few people and few guns, and we can't afford this kind of consumption!" Wang Jiyuan raised his head and said, "We can think in reverse, instead of avoiding it, it is better to force him to attack the main position, so that the other positions will naturally be safe." ”

Ji Xun touched his chin vigorously, looking puzzled. But Morey's eyes lit up, and he seemed to think of something.

"You mean, give him a reason to attack the main position, for example, there is an important target in the main position?" Morey said, his eyes narrowed, "It's a good idea, if there is a mage on the main position who is attacking him, he must attack there first." Otherwise, another mage fights back, and he is in danger. ”

"Can you?" Wang Jiyuan and Ji Xun looked at Morey together.

"That's right. Morey sneered, "No one knows better than me how to pretend to be a powerful magician." ”

———————————————————————

Zhang Hong was dressed in a gray-yellow linen shirt, with his back bent, standing beside Cadiz. He was not upright enough, and he lacked energy, and with the kind of flattery that came out of his eyes, he looked like a dirt dog beside the tall cadiz.

However, the situation is stronger than the people. He comforted himself over and over again, it would not be easy to survive.

His original clothes and trousers had long since become the trophy of Awan's war. And the piece on his body was picked off by Awan from a dead ghost under the knife, and the dried blood stains on it made Zhang Hong wash it for a long time. But no matter how much he washed it, the dark red marks still covered him, like the blood of his companions on his hands, and they could not be washed away.

It was very cold on the high platform, a cold wind blew, Zhang Hong felt that his chest was cold, and the crowd around him and the swaying firelight could not give him any warmth. He touched his heart with his right hand, which had been cut off, and there was a hole in his clothes, and he heard that the dead ghost's heart had been taken out and eaten by Awan.

Zhang Hong came back to his senses and glanced at the magician who was casting a spell in front of him, this bloated guy was named Andrew, who was paid a lot of money by Cadiz to release the scroll. The level is not high, but the people are very arrogant. But listening to Awan and Orville, this is already the highest level of magic they can find.

Zhang Hong was very close to him, and he could clearly see the bulging green tendons and beads of sweat on the magician's head.

For a moment, he thought about rushing up and knocking down the guy and interrupting his spell. The magician sternly warned the horse thieves that the spell must not be interrupted, otherwise the backlash would be extremely terrifying.

Maybe dying with a magician is a passable destination.

But soon, he smiled self-deprecatingly again, and strangled Hong Lifeng to death, and he couldn't get along with the "hero". Let's resign ourselves to being a villain.

Not to mention...... More than a dozen guards who were waiting for him, where could he break through.

"You said you never knew that this castle had any defensive circles, I never believed it. It's time to see soon. Cadiz interrupted Zhang Hong's conjecture and said with a horsewhip on Zhang Hong's shoulder.

"Lord Cadiz, it's not that I'm hiding it from you. I'm not high enough to know those things. Maybe, maybe they made another one. Zhang Hong bent his waist lower, not daring to look into the other party's eyes.

"Hmph, I have to take down this castle with or without a magic circle, and I paid the price of a mine in order to get this scroll. Hopefully it will help us open a big enough gap. ”

"Perhaps...... , you can talk to them first, I am willing to be your representative. That way, you might be able to get what you want without losing a lot of manpower. Zhang Hong said tentatively.

Cadiz turned his head and looked at Zhang Hong with idiot-like eyes for a while, then raised his hand and whipped him in the face, Zhang Hong's scream was not screamed, but he was pinched by Cadiz and lifted up: "Don't play any tricks with me, you poor little brain is not a fart in front of me." Negotiate to get what I want? the kind of thinking that only a coward like you can have. I am a horse thief, and the horse thief does not rely on his mouth but on his knife to ask for things! The adults look down on me, and the untouchables hate me to death! But I will snatch the whole magician's castle and be its master, and I will let the people in the castle crawl at my feet and lick my boots to survive. Negotiations: Let those who grind their tongues die!"

Zhang Hong was pinched and breathless, and spat out his voice with difficulty: "I...... I...... Just want your people, less, less magician...... Target...... damage. I...... Don't talk too much, please...... Rao, spare...... I. ”

Cadiz sneered, "Do you think I haven't killed a magician, a well-prepared magician may be powerful, but as long as you put aside those mysterious things, magicians are just a bunch of weak chickens." ”

"Besides, I'm afraid of the dead?" hahaha......" Cadiz threw Zhang Hong on the ground and instructed Orville beside him, "You should also be ready, these three demon-breaking arrows can't be wasted." You also know how many people we died exploring that ruin. You'll have to kill all the mages who come up with them, or I won't spare you, understand?"

Orville was dressed in black, riding on a black horse, with a large bow strapped to his back, and carefully placed three pitch-black arrows into the quiver, these arrows were made of extraterrestrial meteors, repelling all magic, and unless the magician wore thick armor, ordinary magical shields could not stop their breakthrough. Orville smacked his fist in the chest, and the horse sank into the darkness.

"Look, Orville is the best hunter I have ever had, he can wield the hardest bow with his fighting spirit, no one can dodge the arrows he shoots in the shadows, and as long as the magicians on the other side are lured out by dear Mr. Andrew, their time of death will come. Cadiz said as he looked in the direction Orville was galloping away.

At this time, Awan ran over and reported to Cadiz in a rough voice: "Boss, the horse thieves who will take the lead have all been chosen. As soon as they blow up the opening, they will charge. ”

"None of them have any objections, do they?"

"All of them are shirtless and ready to charge, the price you gave is too good. Let them have twenty percent of all their treasures, and for this they are ready to give up their lives. ”

"Good. After a while, you lead people to follow behind, and if you want to escape, you cut them down. We can't let a few cowards spoil everyone's morale. ”

Awan smiled with a face, he untied the big knife on his back, waved it in the air a few times, and stuck it on the ground in front of him.

Zhang Hong sat on the ground, holding his throat in his hands and coughing quietly, he realized that he was nothing to Cadiz. He didn't even believe what he said, and if it weren't for the fact that he needed a conquered witness, he would have been in a different place.

This is a paranoid madman who is bent on taking over the school, and it was like this from the beginning, and the horse thieves who were lured by him with his interests were nothing more than a bunch of cannon fodder.

Looking at the school in the distance, Zhang Hong's heart sank to the bottom.
