Chapter IV: Cooperation

Fern blocked the two warriors, the three of them tore together, his swordsmanship was no longer what it used to be, the guards of the mage tower were not his opponents at all, but Fern was not in a hurry to repel them, and now this formation just blocked the path of the two mages behind him trying to attack him, so for a while it seemed that the three of them did not have obvious strength or weakness.

The sound of magic bombardment behind him came and went, and from time to time there were gusts of air blowing, and Fern took advantage of the gap to pay attention to the situation behind him. Jasmine was indeed the youngest archmage he had ever seen, facing the two mages in the Mage Tower, and even one of them was also an archmage like her, she was not at a disadvantage at all, and she was able to keep fighting back, beating the two mages to the point that they were a little overwhelmed.

While dodging the fireballs and wind scissors that flew towards her, Jasmina waved the wand in her hand, and white balls of light continued to fly from behind her to the mage in front of her, the speed of the ball of light was very fast, and the mage had no chance to dodge at all, so he had to jump left and right, but he was still hit by many balls of light. The two mages finally realized that they were no match for Jarena, so they changed their tactics, and instead of casting attack magic, they cast a shield in front of them. Although the light orb technique is extremely fast, it is relatively less powerful, and when it hits the shield, it is completely negated.

"Fern!" Jasmina shouted at the mercenary behind her, "It's your turn!"

"What's my turn?!" Fern looked back in confusion, only to see Morena get out of the way and run towards him, flipping her wand in her hand, a strong wind blowing through his ears and quickly back, and the two warriors screamed and retreated. Suddenly, a consciousness burrowed into his brain, and without too much hesitation, Fern blocked the warrior in front of him with a sword, turned around and quickly ran towards the shield. The mercenary raised his sword in both hands and slashed downward, and the sword in the stone slashed through the shield, bursting out with a dazzling flash, and the shield was broken in an instant.

Fern didn't stop attacking, raised his sword and slashed at the mage, under the mercenary's sharp melee attack, the mage was completely unable to resist, and after dodging twice, he fell to the ground. Another nearby archmage tried to unleash a fireball, but Fern slashed his wand in two with a swing of his sword, and the mercenary quickly pulled out a dagger from the other side of his belt and placed it on the archmage's neck, holding the sword in the stone in his right hand and pointing at the mage who had fallen to the ground.

Jasmine fended off four enemy attacks for Fern behind her, and at this point, she was a little overwhelmed, and the archmage urged Fern. "Okay, come over quickly, I can't hold off four people for too long. As she spoke, Jasmine crossed her hands and waved her hands forward, and the ball of light kept crashing forward, forcing the two warriors back to the mage's side, and the four of them temporarily defended the archmage's ball of light, waiting for the opportunity to counterattack.

"But...... What about these two people?" Fern restrained the two mages, but he didn't know what to do with them for a while.

Morena glanced back, puzzled. "What are you doing? Kill them!"

"What?" Fern was shocked by Morena's words and couldn't help but look back at her. This turn gave the two mages a chance, one of them the archmage quickly recited a spell with his lips, and a wall of air slammed into Fern, knocking him out of the air, and the other mage immediately stood up, several sharp wind shears cutting through the mercenary's clothes and arms. Fern cursed, rolling on the ground, dodging the wind shears that were chasing him, all the while keeping an eye out for another archmage chanting a spell. Sure enough, as he expected, the archmage's incantation had been recited, and three fireballs were generated in front of him, spinning and pounced on Fern, and the fireballs covered a very wide area, almost sealing all the angles that Fern could dodge.

Hell, Fern raised his sword in the stone, ready to eat the fireball. Suddenly, the mercenary felt a strange force pulling him from the side, and then the whole person was pulled away from the place, and fireballs flew past him. A second later, he was standing ten yards away from where he had been standing, with Morena and her hands glowing white at her side. "If you are soft, we will die here! With that, with a wave of her right hand, the ground on the right side collapsed, blocking the two warriors who were about to rush up, and then her right hand drew a circle in the air, and an invisible shield blocked the two fireballs that flew in. Jasmine's spell was cast very quickly, and her left hand cast a light ball spell almost at the same time, and several light balls shot at the archmage who had just finished casting three fireballs and was a little weak.

Watching the ball of light fly forward, there was no need for Jalena to say anything, Fern followed the trajectory of the ball of light very tacitly and rushed towards the enemy's archmage. The other party reluctantly cast a shield to block the ball of light, but he didn't expect the mercenary who followed the ball of light, Fern split the shield again, this time, he didn't have a soft hand, the sword in the stone pierced into the chest of the archmage, Fern's heart flashed a trace of pity, but he knew that if he missed again, then Molena and he would not be able to escape from here. The archmage's eyes widened in fear, his feet went limp, and he fell to the ground. Fern pulled out the sword in the stone, swung it to the right and split the wind scissors that had just arrived beside him, and then threw the dagger at the mage with his left hand, and with a scream, the dagger accurately stabbed into the mage's throat, and the mage grabbed the handle of the dagger with both hands, and there was a clicking sound in his throat, and blood continued to gush out of his neck, and then he fell to his knees and fell forward with his face.

Fern gasped, killing was something he would only do if he had to, so he almost didn't kill people, but just now two lives were lost under his hands, which made him unacceptable.

Jasmine ran up to the mercenary who was staying where she was and gave him a hard push. "It's not over yet, I'll remember it later. ”

Fern came back to his senses and raised his sword to meet the two warriors who were rushing towards him, and in just a few turns, Fern picked one of them into the air with his sword. Almost at the same time, several balls of light slammed into the warrior's chest and abdomen, forcing him to retreat, and finally, a burning sensation came from behind Fern, and quickly swept over the mercenary's side and flew towards the warrior. With the sound of popping, the whole body of the warrior who lost his weapon burned, he screamed miserably, ran wildly in the alley, and after running for dozens of yards, he fell to the ground, and a burning man rolled on the ground, and then slowly stopped, and the screams gradually subsided, and finally disappeared completely, leaving only the sound of flames.

Fern stared at the warrior's miserable condition with wide eyes, and his heart felt unspeakably uncomfortable. The remaining three people on the other side also looked at their companion's death in panic, and they all stopped attacking. But Jasmine had no intention of stopping, she cast her flying spell and flew in front of Fern, a quick spell sounded, and a huge fireball formed in front of her, accompanied by a fierce strong wind, blowing the flames of the fireball forward. The remaining two mages woke up from their panic and hurriedly cast the shield with all their might, and the other warrior also hid behind the shield, looking at Jarena's serious face in fear.

Jasmine waved her hands vigorously, the fireball mixed with the strong wind, whistling towards the shield, a crisp clicking sound sounded, the shield was vulnerable in front of the archmage's fireball technique, it was easily broken, the fireball completely swallowed one mage, and the burst of flames ignited another mage next to him, and the two mages screamed miserably, rolling in the place. The warrior threw away the sword in his hand, took off his coat and desperately pounced on the mage who was rolling on the ground, trying to extinguish the flames on him. But the mage who was engulfed in flames no longer moved, and the warrior had to give up trying to save him, and instead slapped his clothes on the mage, who was not too big of a fire.

Jasmine still didn't stop casting, and a fireball began to slowly form again.

"That's enough!" Fern stood in front of the archmage. "Enough, they've lost their warrior abilities, and there's no need to kill them all. ”

Jasmina looked at Fern with a blank expression, the movement in her hand stopped, and the sound of the spell disappeared. After completely recovering from the battle, the archmage actually looked at the mercenary and smiled slightly. "I didn't expect you to be so soft-hearted after going through so many dangers, it's a miracle that you can survive until now. ”

Fern was not in the mood to answer Morena's words, but immediately took off his shirt and ran to the mage who was still burning on his body, and joined forces with another warrior to fight the flames on the mage's body. Finally, the flames were extinguished, but the mage was also badly burned, and the warrior picked up the mage, looking at Fern with an unusually complicated look.

"Go and heal him, I know the pain of the burns caused by the fire magic, and he won't last many days. Fern looked at the frightened and speechless warrior in front of him, and thought of Enoch and his own burns.

The warrior nodded slightly to Fern, took the mage's arm, and limped away at the end of the alley. Fern glanced at Jaminena, who was still standing dignifiedly, arranging his long hair that had been messed up in the battle.

"You don't seem to regret it at all? We just killed four people, and one of them doesn't know if he'll be treated in time, maybe he'll die in a few days. Fern walked up to the archmage and glared at her sternly.

With a silver headband in her mouth, Morena grabbed the loose hair at the back of her head, and tied it into a handful to form a waist-length ponytail. "If we don't kill them, they'll kill us, Quiai told me, you were burned by a fireball on the Sky Bridge and your hands were almost gone, won't you remember the lesson?"

"But...... We could have knocked them out, or ......" Fern shook his head, unable to find a suitable reason.

"Don't be stupid, Fern, who can stun them in such a life-and-death battle? Even if you could, my magic wasn't so easy to control, I didn't have the ability to incapacitate them without killing them. Jasmine nodded, feeling the tightness of her ponytail.

Fern gave up his intention to admonish and sighed helplessly. Jasmine didn't have any emotion, but looked at the mercenary with satisfaction. "But what I didn't expect was that our first time we worked together, it was so tacit, maybe we were really destined to connect. ”

Fern was nervous and didn't know how to respond to Morena, just as a commotion came from not far away, and Fern looked nervously at both ends of the alley. "We'd better get out of here, it's a problem to be seen by the village guards. ”

Jasmina smiled gracefully, covering her mouth with her right hand. "What are you afraid of, Fern, this is Dayton, and I, the King of Dayton's advisor, do you think the guards here will do anything to us?"

Fern looked at Jaminena's slightly shy smile and couldn't help but raise her eyebrows, this woman who usually looks elegant and beautiful, but when facing the enemy, she is so ruthless, a hint of coolness rises from the bottom of Fern's heart.
