One hundred and seventy-eighth Sula New Knowledge
Seeing a large flock of scavenging birds circling, not only the high-ranking Templar Yezid, but also some of the tribesmen who acted as vanguards. Although few of these tribes were few, the halflings or elven tribesmen could see movement in the distant sky, which made them somewhat alarmed.
On the windward side of a large sand dune, several tribesmen carrying large buckets are collecting fine sand from the area. After joining the Witch King's coalition, their tribe also received some metal armor from the Templars. For such a small tribe, metal armor is a rare wealth, although it is only some chain mail, but it is still extremely valued. Once the camp was encamped, the warriors of these small tribes would definitely take off their armor for maintenance, for fear of being corroded. .hahax.netbsp; The men loaded the fine sand from the leeward side of the great dunes into buckets and stirred them back and forth with the hilts of their spears to clean the chain mail of sweat and unclean dirt.
"What's going on over there?" a man suddenly noticed an unusual sight in the air in the distance, but it wasn't clear because of the night.
"Two moons, one big and one small, as usual. The other man ignored him, still cleaning his armor.
"I can see the moon. "But there's something unusual there, something flying in the sky, obscuring the shadow of the moon." ”
"Clouds, or magic carpets, what else. The third person said.
"No, no, no, it's not these things, it looks like a flock of frightened birds. The first person insisted.
"Birds are birds, and they can be frightened by anything they see, even by their own shadows. The second man said this, but looked up at the other side. "Maybe they've found some dead lizard carcass. It looks like the birds are having a happy dinner. ”
"What kind of prey can be found in this area?" the first man was stubborn, "this place is usually full of merchants coming and going, but now it has become a battlefield for the Tyrs and the Witch Kings to fight, and the large animals have long been killed, how can it attract so many birds?"
"There may be fighters over there!We should take up arms and get ready!" The first man became more and more confident, "Go and inform the rest of the tribe!"
Before he could finish speaking, a flying arrow whistled through the air and pierced the man's neck, and dark red blood spurted out at once, splattering a semicircular blood mark on the ground.
The rest of the people stared blankly at the change in front of them, and hesitated for a breath before shouting "Enemy attack!" By this time, more arrows had already been fired.
Another tribe that had returned to the Witch King's coalition was devastated, and after a rain of arrows, the gladiators, both on horseback and non-horseback, fiercely rushed into the enemy's camp and began to kill before they could gain a firm foothold. There are not many warriors in these tribes, and the equipment is much worse, so there is no way to resist it. With the exception of a few tribesmen who were considered important to survive, most of the tribesmen were swiftly killed, their bodies either chopped into pieces or devoured by shell beetles.
Muhadi followed Rikas in several raids and tribes, sweeping almost all the empty sandy land on the side of the iron mine. Due to the large number of scouts and flankers of the gladiators this time, although there was a lack of accurate information, only a few of the allied vassals slipped through the net. And most of the tribes that escaped the net became frightened birds, taking advantage of the night to flee far away, and some did not even dare to return to the coalition army.
The addition of a small number of Salafiste's Guardian Mages makes this series of one-sided battles much more effortless. When two armies meet, enchantment magic can confuse minds and create chaos, sculpting magic can quickly open gaps and directly kill brave enemies, and mages skilled in spell spells can summon terrifying elemental monsters from the Otherworld to rush into the enemy line and take damage. Other magics such as necromancy, illusion, and prophecy also have their own uses, and they all shine.
As he observed, Muhadi had to admit that although psychic abilities could also achieve incredible effects, they were still inferior to spells of the same level in terms of limitations and power. Psionic energy is good at dealing with people's hearts, but it doesn't have the ability to summon all kinds of monsters at will, or easily control many elements to cause explosions and death.
However, it would also be of great benefit to him to observe these mages in battle up close. First of all, Muhadi had not systematically studied magic, and although he had a magic book, he could not read what was written on it in arcane script. As a great psychic sorcerer, Lyra does not understand magic, and seems to have no intention of teaching his apprentices about it. Therefore, most of the time, when Muhadi saw someone else perform magic, he could only judge the power of the other person based on the time they chanted and the amount of life force drawn from the surrounding environment. As for the specific spell effect, he didn't understand. Now that he was watching the battle from the safety of the sidelines, he was able to observe many magic spell casting gestures, words, and specific effects. For all this knowledge, he used psionic energy to help him memorize it firmly in his mind. In case the next time the enemy releases a spell and he can't recognize it.
Secondly, through Guò's observations, he showed some patterns of fighting for spellcasters. Most mages, no matter how weak their opponents are, must first bless themselves with various protective spells, including magic that protects the mind and blocks the effects of the mind. So Muhadi hadn't even sensed how a mage in a battle thought or experienced anything before. This time, because the Guardian Mages are different from the Blasphemer Mages, they pay great attention to maintaining the fragile ecological environment of Atas, and pay attention to the fact that if they can cast one less magic, they will perform one less magic, and they are in a great advantage. So a lot of people don't even bless spells to protect their minds, which makes their minds almost naked to psychic magicians.
Muhadi observed that in normal times, a mage's brain is tightly sealed, and their will is strong and strong, and they take the initiative to use their psionic energy to probe, but they find almost nothing, and it is easy for the other party to detect it, which is in vain. However, when casting a spell, the mage's attention will be almost entirely focused on the guidance and release of magical power, and his own defense ability will be reduced a lot, and the psionic energy can easily infiltrate quietly when no one is noticing. He even had the audacity to try to read some of the mage's senses when casting spells, experiencing the magical power responding to the call, flowing through his body, and finally condensing and shooting out. That kind of feeling, very different from the drowsiness that the brain feels when you use your psionic energy and the sudden complexity of the five flavors in your heart, is a kind of bliss, a kind of ecstasy...... Even, a hint of familiarity......
Ye Zid and his subordinates disguised themselves as ordinary tribesmen, and he even cast various anti-detection spells on his own people. In this way, even if the mage of the Tyr people used the detection camp, he would never be able to detect his malicious intentions. Although there was no mirror, Ye Qide touched his beard with satisfaction, looking eager to try.
He coughed lightly, and then his whole body seemed to be transformed into a panicked ordinary tribal warrior. He understands that the key to pretending to be a person is to completely bring in that person's identity, to think in his way, to speak in his way, just like a great actor to bring a character into the stage, and even to deceive himself. This is not too difficult for Yezid, who thinks that people themselves are creatures with different masks. In front of his boss, he is loyal and capable, and he is a subordinate who slaps horses, and in front of his subordinates, he has become a cold and stern, meticulous superior, which one is the real him.
He waited until his subordinates had also made the necessary disguises, and then led them to the gate of the iron mine. In order not to show his feet, he brought only the most astute and powerful Templars, who were not very numerous and could never confront the enemies in the iron mines. But no matter how slow the coalition forces go, they will attack here within a day or two after the attack on the forwards. At that time, he will bring a crack squad to meet with the outside world, and he will definitely receive unexpected miraculous results. Even, he thought about directly assassinating the enemy's brains and creating chaos, and then he could escape with the magic carpet. Those low-level guardian mages definitely couldn't stop him, and as for the men he brought, it was just right to delay a little time.
On the fence of the iron mine, the soldiers who had been left behind to guard appeared this strange group of men, but they did not attack, because this group of men under the banner of Tyre, and had no intention of hiding, and went straight to them.
"Tell me your name, or we'll attack at once!" asked one of the officers who stayed behind at the wall.
"We are free people living in the desert!" replied Yazid in a loud voice, with pride and a hint of uncertainty in his voice. "We fought for Tyre, we fought for the revolution, we fought for freedom. The Witch King's minions are chasing us, please allow us to enter here and take refuge for a while!"
--------------------------------P.S. Sorry readers, because I'm too busy for the holidays, I haven't replied to the update. The time zone is also wrong, so the update time is messed up. Now that I have returned to Hong Kong, I would like to thank you for your continued support and I will continue to work hard.
