Chapter 6: Counterattack
Night, bonfire, talk and laughter......
Because the enemy was still far away, and the paladins had specially made smokeless solid fuel. The pen "Fun" pavilion www.biquge.info so they lit a bonfire. The food was baked.
I have to say that having a druid as a teammate in the woods is quite comfortable. Martin went out casually and brought back a lot of food, including fish, birds, nuts, and fruits. When Liukriza looked at the eggs and felt that something was wrong, Martin just shrugged and said, "The law of the jungle eats the strong, and besides, I always leave an egg for the mother bird." "When you bake it, it's drier and not delicious. As he spoke, Martin removed the entrails of the bird he had caught, wrapped it in large leaves, put it in a hole, covered it with earth, and lit a fire on it. When the food was ready, the three of them ate it. The food was indeed not bad, but none of the three were in the mood to taste it, and it was appropriate to fill their stomachs. Canian poured some wine into his glass and mixed it with water. To this, Martin muttered, "What a waste of wine." Canion, on the other hand, just smiled unimpressed.
Once you've had your fill of food and drink, it's time to move on to your table adventure. Just now they just did the terrain and set up the enemy. Now they're starting to set up their side.
"I'm the kind of person who has the talent of a warlock with magic in his veins. I am proficient in using level 5 arcane. In addition, I am also a paladin, I have been trained, and I have been accepted by the gods. However, my cultivation is not enough to use divine arts. Also, I had a little bit of training as a warrior monk. Liu Crexia first introduced. Then she gave an overview of the arcane arts she mastered. She kept an eye on it, not telling Martin about her special talent - being able to use crampons, ghoul touches and other magic as many times a day as she pleased.
This was followed by Canion's introduction. It's very simple, a holy warrior who has cultivated to master the third-level divine arts. Next is the most important one, Martin's introduction. The Starch Spencer druids have always been shrouded in mystery. People just know that they have all kinds of strange abilities, and they are extremely powerful. But I don't know what they're capable of.
Looking at the two pairs of eyes that were staring at him, Martin smiled and began to introduce, "Normally druids do, and so do we. I'm already proficient in performing level 6 divine arts. I can't tell you about some other odd and medium-sized questions, or if you ask, I'll introduce them later. ”
Obviously, Martin also kept a hand. But the two paladins didn't care at all. Leaving aside the other party's first acquaintance with them, Martin couldn't have had no reservations. Simply because people don't know what the Starch Spencer Druids are capable of. It can be known that this sect has some rules to prevent leaks. Besides, didn't you keep some of it?
But the two who should be asked still have to ask. It was not only to prepare for this battle, but also to gather information, so that the good people could get to know the Druids sent by the Starch Spencers, so that they could redeem a lot of disadvantages when they fought each other in the future. Lyukrixia was the first to speak: "Can you also use the priest's magic, and how do you do it?"
"Well, it's true that you can use the Priest's Magic. "This time Martin clearly has no reservations. "But it's not as exaggerated as some people think, do you know the realm of pastors?"
The two paladins who frequented the temple knew what was going on. The so-called priest's realm sounds powerful and gorgeous. Quite simply, the priest can choose two realms from his deity's realm, each of which gives the priest a spell at the level of spell he can cast, and the priest also gets divine abilities from both chosen realms at the same time.
Seeing that the two of them nodded, Martin continued, "Then do you know that there are priests who don't believe in God? We can also directly develop beliefs in certain areas, and then obtain divine magic. But unlike those priests who don't believe in God, the only magic we can prepare is what the realm brings. I chose the field of war and the field of medicine, it's that simple. ”
It's simple? Both of them were people who knew the arts, and they knew how strange it was. But now is not the time to discuss the origins and development of divine arts. So everyone just started to discuss what realm divine arts he should prepare. However, Liu Crexia suddenly interjected, "Hey, according to my shallow understanding of you, you should choose the plant domain or the animal domain or something." Does everyone else have the same realm as you?"
"Well, I chose this because of a little experience when I was a teenager. Others mostly choose the plant field or the animal field. But there are others...... It can be said that there are people to choose from in all fields. The Starch Spencer Druids were originally made up of a messy bunch of people. Let's discuss which magic I choose to prepare. Martin obviously didn't want to talk about it and hurriedly changed the subject. The two paladins noticed that there were people who chose any field. "It seems that the Starch Spencer Sect Druili is not all evil. Isn't there someone who chooses the realm of goodness?" Canian thought.
After some discussion, they finalized the realm magic that Martin was going to prepare. Level 1 Divine Skill: Heal minor injuries. Level 2 Divine Skill: Heal Slander...... Except for the level 5 divine art, which chose the Flame Strike Technique, the others were all healing techniques. Despite Martin's lighthearted words, the Paladin knew how terrifying it was to have a druid's magic and a priest at every level. Sure enough, they had a lot of two hits. Lyukrixia thought. "But as an ally, it would be nice to be stronger. ”
Then, Liukrisia asked again, "Many people have seen that you can use magic such as lightning beams and chain lightning, what is the matter?
"It's not that magical...... It's nothing more than a sage named Faraday who made ......" Martin lifted his clothes and showed them a mysterious tattoo. "That's it. We can't use arcane on our own. However, depending on this, you can use arcane operations related to lightning a few times...... Just like the same spell ability. ”
"Is it similar to a dragon pattern?" "That's right, it's imitating a dragon pattern and adding it artificially......"
Lyuklisa and Canian stopped talking. They didn't know much about the Starch Spencer Druids.
Although it is said that for adventurers, it is very important to get a good amount of sleep. But the trio didn't sleep after completing their adventure on the table. The small talk continued. For Martin, he was satisfied with the small talk. For the two paladins, it was one more concern. They were still testing Martin in casual conversation.
After all, it's time for sleep. Martin stopped Canion's attempt to keep a sentry. Smiling, he pointed to an unknown little beast he had caught, "It will keep watch for us." ”
So there was no word all night.
The next day I woke up in a wonderful morning. But the trio didn't have time to enjoy it. They prepared the preparations. Then he got up and set off.
The three of them were fully prepared for battle, and Liukrisa was still wearing the Sea Soul suit that had been changed to the style of the sailor suit worn by the girls, and the lower half of Shen was wearing a pair of trousers. Martin donned a strange suit of armor. According to him, composite materials, good defensive properties. Canion's outfit was more complicated, with a chest armor on his upper body, his left arm protected by a drapet and shield, and his right arm for the convenience of his sword, with no protection other than a long leather glove. He only had a piece of armor tied to his thighs on his lower body, and he didn't wear shin guards. In short, it is a light outfit, which is very suitable for fighting in the woods. The attire, he said, is called "adequate protection or none." It was invented by an old knight named Iowa in the Knights.
Then it's time to set off. At first, Martin also said to Liukrisa if I want me to make up for the missing part of the Sea Soul suit for you, but he quickly kept his mouth shut. He carefully led the two of them through the woods.
After traveling some distance, he suddenly gestured for the two to stop. Although the two were amazed that Martin could use the sign language of the Order, they did so. Then, Martin moved cautiously and motioned for the two to move closer to him. As the three of them leaned together, he gently covered them with the magic cloak.
After a while, the trained ears of the two paladins heard a subtle voice. The sound was very small, as if it was made by some small beast, and if the three of them were still moving, then even the sharpest ears would not be able to hear it. But seeing Martin's solemn face, the two knew what was coming-the Gnoll Ranger.
After a moment of silence, Martin stopped the two men who were about to get up, and he waited a little more before getting up. This time. He motioned to speed up. The opponent's position is the same as yesterday. The three Gnoll Ranger were arranged in a triangle at the front of the large group, far from each other. The main force of the team is directly behind the triangle. Martin led the two paladins around from the left.
Then, Martin quickly found the traces of the enemy's passing. The traces left by the places where the miscellaneous soldiers passed were too conspicuous. Liukrisia believed she could recognize it even without Martin.
Martin was on the way to follow up when he suddenly pulled out a small snake. "What are you doing with this?" asked Canion. Looking at the round head, he knew it wasn't a poisonous snake. But Martin guessed what he was thinking, explaining that "not all snakes have triangular heads, and some species of snakes have round heads." "So what? I'm afraid it won't do much damage to the other party, and the other party should have sent good soldiers." Lyukrixia said.
In this world where spellcasters are able to shoot fireballs, fly into the sky, and summon terrifying monsters. For a time, those who wielded swords were despised. But they cultivated themselves tenaciously until they found that smooth path.
It is known that there is a group of people called warrior monks, who have learned the so-called "qi" from the East. Relying on "qi", these people also have strong combat effectiveness with their bare hands. It is said that some people in the East can even attack the enemy directly with the release of "qi". When the concept of "qi" was introduced, all the warriors became excited and began to cultivate. Eventually, the person who was able to appreciate the mystery became a warrior monk. Those who are unable to fully grasp the mystery also benefit a lot - they simplify the "qi". No longer pursue skills such as light body fall, vindictive attack, etc. Instead, he simply uses "qi" to temper his body. By the end, most of the fighters had mastered this. In this way, although they are still not as good as mages in the end. But they also have a body that is far beyond the average person. Their bodies are as strong as a mage can send fireballs, and a raging barbarian can lift up a house and smash it into an opponent. And many fighters can continue to fight even with a few transparent blood holes hanging from their bodies.
So, even a toxin that can poison a bear can't poison a warrior of a moderate level.
Martin knew this, of course, but he clearly had a lot of faith in the viper. He then summoned an eagle and let it catch the snake and fly over. "This snake is poisonous enough to poison an elephant!" he explained, "unless the other side has a high-ranking warrior, at least one person will be reduced." And, most importantly, it will disturb the enemy!"
After dealing with the matter, the three of them quickened their pace.
At this moment, Gilbert was in the tiredness after the fire. He was still the same as yesterday, sending the Gnoll Ranger to disperse in a triangular search, and he himself led the team behind. So far, there is still no trace of the other party, and he can't help but wonder. Could it be that the chick was swallowed up by the forest?
After walking for a while, he ordered a rest. As a mage, his physical fitness was not comparable to those brutes. Little did he know that while he was resting, three people were sneaking in.
Suddenly an eagle flew in, and he didn't care. But when the eagle flew over their heads, suddenly the eagle's talons sent it away, and a snake was dropped.
The snake struck a warrior in the shoulder, and then the panicked snake bit him by the neck. By the time the warrior scrambled to rip it off, it had injected enough venom.
At first, the fighters did not take it seriously, and the reaction to the bite site was not obvious, and the bleeding was less, and the symptoms such as redness, swelling, heat and pain were also mild. He was just going to learn about the poison and poured it down. He believed that the venom of such a small snake was enough to be suppressed in this way. But the poor man didn't know much about biology, and he didn't know what the snake's oar-like tail meant.
Snake venom still worked. The nerve poison takes effect quickly, and the muscles of the limbs, which are as strong as an ox, become paralyzed and weak, and then it becomes difficult to breathe. He fell headlong to the ground. If it weren't for that antidote potion, I'm afraid he would have died by now.
The little resting place became a mess. No one knew that in the midst of this panic, the Grim Reaper spread its black wings.
A vertical pillar of holy flame roared down from the sky, and at the same time, three people suddenly jumped up and flew over under the effect of the acceleration technique. Taken aback, Gilbert was about to cast a spell, and Lyuklixia and Canion used dissolving magic at the same time, disintegrating or suppressing Gilbert's magical protection. Then Martin unleashed a deadly attack, a thick bolt of lightning at Gilbert, and as he put his hair on end, the lightning leaped toward the others, reaping life in a joyful beat.
With Martin's chain of lightning coming to an end, there aren't many people left standing. And there are even fewer people who can fight, and at this moment, there is no need for Lyukrixia to move, Martin and Canian are holding their blades, easily slashing their opponents. As with Canion, Martin used his left-handed dagger to block his opponent's weapons, while waiting for an opportunity to cut his opponent's limbs with his right scimitar. Canion, on the other hand, slammed his opponent with his shield and then attacked with his sword. Both were extremely efficient, and Martin's scimitar easily slice through the enemy's arteries. Canion's sword is even more accurate, always stabbing through the gap in the ribs to the heart, or simply cutting off the head of his opponent. In order to facilitate the movement in the forest, the enemy wore relatively light clothes, and the armor on his body could not resist the weapons of the two at all. The sneak attack demoralizes the opponent, and even more deadly, the commander is killed at the beginning. The enemy, in a panic, simply could not exert his numerical superiority. Moreover, both Martin and Canion have magic on them to help them fight, and it is no problem to deal with these panicked enemies.
When the effect of the acceleration ends, the battle ends.
"No, it's so easy......" Lyukrixia said in surprise. "What do you think? This is a sneak attack and the other party's paralysis, if you try to fight them head-on?" Hearing Canion's words, Liukrisia couldn't help but bow her head, she knew that Cannian meant yesterday's incident - because they let their guard down, they were easily cut by their opponents.
"It's not over yet. Martin reminded, "I'll meet those three Gnoll Rangers!" and then dived into the woods.
In this kind of battle, Liukrisha thought that it was inconvenient for the two to intervene, so she stayed with Canian to heal the opponent just now. They need to live.
After a long time, a bush swayed, and Cannian watched warily, while Lyukrisia looked around - beware of the enemy's noise!
Out of the bushes was a Gnoll Ranger, staggering, just as Canian was ready to step forward to fight. It crashed to the ground. Then, Martin jumped out, smiling, and said, "The enemy is completely destroyed." ”
Thumped.
