Chapter Eighty-Three: The Demonic Array
With the passage of time, the yàn yang above the head is slightly biased to the west.
In order to survive this sudden catastrophe, everyone in the team devoted their best to the construction of the car array. In just half a prayer hour, a small hill with a radius of only one or two thousand square meters has undergone earth-shaking changes with the joint efforts of people.
Inside the originally empty dangdang car formation, seven or eight medium-sized carriages joined the cactus caravan.
A small circular inner array was constructed. The passage between the carriages and the carriages was also dug into trenches. The height of the fallen ground and the carriage itself combined to form a wall of earth that was more than two meters high.
And between the ditches that are vertical and horizontal, there are also hiding dòng. In addition to providing shelter from the rain of arrows, these dòngxué, which are buried deep underground and communicate with each other, can also help the warriors sneak up on the enemy or safely retreat to the inner camp when the perimeter is breached.
The two caravans, totaling more than seventy guards, were evenly distributed to each section of the defensive vehicle wall around the perimeter. They were assisted by about an equal number of charioteers, caravan men, and young men selected from among the commoners. They work in groups of six. Three men fought in close quarters with shields, while the other three were supported by bows and crossbows.
The mercenaries are tasked with support. With the exception of the shè hands on the three guard towers and the nine armor-piercing crossbows, they were not fixed to any one position in the formation. Where it is most dangerous, they go. Their martial arts skills and experience were able to help the defensive line stay down.
In addition to these, the team has a reserve.
The reserve is the most powerful force in the convoy. Its members include Captain Jin Sen, Captain of the Thorn Squad, Muxi, Captain of the Bright Squad, Alder, two Knights, Roy, Malt, Ivan, Sanjie, and Ling Shuang Ling Xue hired by Fergus.
This list of seventeen people in total made the most pessimistic people feel shocked. Everyone is now hiding dragons and crouching tigers in the caravan, and there are so many strong people.
Needless to say, Ivan. Not to mention in a caravan, even in the castles of the great knights or nobles, the status of a just knight is extremely respected.
Below Ivan are the three heroes and the two knights. Sanjie's strength is all brave two-star to three-star. And the knight hired by Fergus also has the strength of a brave star. The impact of the five brave knights is sure to make any enemy in front of them shudder.
Combined with the equally powerful Jinson, Musiold, and six cadets including a magician, the reserve squad is unprecedentedly luxurious. With them behind them, everyone suddenly felt that the jīng god had support, and the hope of living became bright again.
However, people don't know that whether it is a reinforced car formation or a luxurious reserve lineup, it is actually only the outermost shell of the entire defense system.
And underneath this case, there is an even stronger case. In the anticipation of the caravan higher-ups, the quiet establishment of Tina is the real defense core of this mountain.
Magic Circle!
In the center of the car formation, a carriage of a cactus caravan stood quietly. The heavy canopy was lowered to shield the car from everyone's gaze. All the waiting people could see was the slash marks of knives and axes and the blood stains of black and purple sè on the carriage.
In front of the carriage, a caravan leader waited silently. Every few minutes, everyone's eyes will fall on the canopy tarpaulin of the carriage, and the anxious eyes seem to poke through the tarpaulin!
The chariot formation was very small, no more than twenty or thirty wagons and one or two hundred people. These leaders have always been the object of everyone's reliance and the focus of attention. Therefore, while they stood anxiously in front of the carriage, the surrounding passages and earthen walls were also full of curious people.
Even the mercenaries and guards patrolling their respective posts in the distance didn't stretch their necks to look at each other. Guess what's going on here.
Most people's eyes are focused on Fergus.
In the eyes of everyone, this caravan commander who has not changed his face since he encountered the bandits, and has completely lost his previous demeanor at this moment.
I saw him pacing back and forth quickly in place with his hands behind his back. After taking two steps, I glanced up at the carriage. The fiery eyes looked like a hungry wolf circling around food. People can't help but have the illusion that this middle-aged fat man will pounce in the next second.
"Mr. Fergus" When Fergus shook in front of his eyes again, Jem was shaken dizzy, and finally couldn't help but speak: "I said, can you sit for a while?", Fergus turned his head, looked at Jem in a daze, as if digesting the words of the brave knight, and only after a long time did he come back to his senses and smiled dumbly: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry." ”
He patted his forehead, sat down, took a deep breath, and watched the carriage fixedly with his cheeks in his hands.
But after less than two minutes of this position, he couldn't help but stand up again, and anxiously swirled back and forth, unaware that he was repeating the previous action.
No one laughed at Fergus.
At least not these caravan leaders next to the carriage. Everyone understands that anyone who is in Fergus's position will probably suffer more than him. After all, this shipment is too important to him. And whether he can finally pass this level depends on Roy in the carriage.
Ever since he knew that Roy was a magician, Fergus took out all the materials that could be provided in the caravan.
Among these materials, there are more than twenty Demon Beasts of Level 5 and above, more than a dozen magic scrolls, twenty metal plates, and a large pile of luàn messy Demon Beast bones, máo skins, magic crystals, plant leaves, rhizomes, and a whole bottle of third-level magic ink. The total value is more than 80,000 gold road langs.
Thanks to these two caravans, they have acquired almost all the goods in Medin City, and if they are replaced by other caravans, I am afraid that they will not even be able to make up half of the materials needed.
When the materials are ready. Roy got into the carriage and never came out until now, not even a single one.
And at this moment, the enemy under the mountain is ready for battle. They divided into four directions, surrounded the small hill where the formation was located, and kept getting closer.
Everyone knows that the battle is already close at hand, and once the war starts, it will be a bloody strangulation, and it will never stop until you live or die.
Therefore, everyone was really anxious about whether Roy would be able to complete the magic circle.
However, anxious to anxious, everyone doesn't know why, and deep down in their hearts they all have a kind of trust in Roy. Thinking about it carefully, everyone was shocked to see that from the convoy to this high ground on the east bank of the Xilai River to the present, it seems that all the qiē has been guided by Roy.
It was he who was the first to stop the convoy to build a formation. It was also he who led the knights of his retinue to save the Cactus Caravan from the siege of the Black Skull bandits. It was he who set up a defensive strategy of waiting for help, and found a way to report for help and solve the most critical magic circle in the defense.
This qiē is the source of trust!
Looking at the silent carriage, the minds of the people remembered a sentence from Fergus before.
At the time, everyone was suspicious of Roy's list of materials. You know, the materials that Roy is going to go to are enough to draw a small water-based magic array that is limited to extinguishing fires, even if it is enough to build a large magic shield that can cover the castle and resist physical attacks.
Moreover, "judging from Roy's age level, he is at most a first- or second-level magician", and many of the materials in it are not used by him at all!
Therefore, everyone is really a little suspicious that Roy took the opportunity to fill his pocket.
However, when Jin Sen reminded Fergus, the businessman shook his head lightly and said in a very serious tone: "If I can survive this catastrophe safely, my greatest gain is not to keep more than a million goods" but to know him. ”
Roy!
What a high rating!
In the carriage, which was tightly covered by the heavy canopy, it was quiet.
Lighting magic on the top and sides of the canopy solves the problem of light. Illuminate the carriage brightly. And an ice-based demon dispelled the heat after the scorching sun was exposed.
Roy Pantuǐ sat on the carriage floor, engrossed in tracing the metal plate in his hand. Although the temperature inside the car was lower than outside under the influence of the Ice Demon Min, the consumption of a large amount of jīng's divine power still made his forehead dripping with large beads of sweat. The clothes on the back were even more soaked.
Beside him, there was a large stack of metal plates that had been drawn, four of which had been set aside individually.
If there was a magician here, he would be surprised to find that these four metal plates were the four magic bases that formed a complete water-based magician array. As long as the magic core is added and activated, these four metal plates can instantly gather a large amount of water element, forming a thick hemispherical film of water.
Under the protection of this layer of water film, not to mention the rockets that come in or the torches that are thrown in will be extinguished in an instant, even if they rush in and set fires, they will not be able to ignite anything. In this space, the density of the water element is comparable to a heavy rain!, that is to say, the water system magic pattern array has actually been completed a long time ago.
But Roy didn't stop.
"Whew!" Engrossed in the last line of the magic line, Roy's perception left the metal plate under the magic pen and retreated into his brain. Immediately, a kind of tiredness and headache after the extreme consumption of jīng's divine power instantly attacked him.
Roy lay on the carriage floor, gasping for breath like a fish thrown ashore.
Although he has a much more simplified magic than traditional magic, and his divine power is stronger than that of a mage of the same level, this is only a relative advantage.
This advantage allows him to draw a life demon with a power level as high as a third-level with the jīng divine power and perception required by a first-level traditional magic. But that doesn't mean he can draw level 5, 6, or even higher. After all, he's just a Langxing mage now.
For a higher-level demon, every time he ascends to one level, Lei Yao's jīng divine power and perception will be several times more, or even dozens of times.
Being able to draw a fourth-level demon is already Roy's limit at the moment. And this painting is more than a dozen magic lines, hundreds of magic lines. Almost drained his jīng divine power.
"1 Buzi, you don't want to die?!" the phantom of the dwarven axe spirit appeared in Roy's sea of consciousness.
"Don't want to die?" Roy's delicate face showed a hint of cunning that was diametrically opposed to his honest appearance, "I have to die now, so I must prepare now." Otherwise, hehe."
"What is this?" asked the dwarven axe spirit, looking at the dozen metal plates lined up in a row by Roy.
"Whitefish Arrow Formation. Roy rolled over and sat up, picking up the metal plate he had just drawn.
This metal plate was purchased by the caravan to be transported back to Mauni City to be sold to blacksmiths and weapons dealers.
Magic copper is a metal with extremely strong and toughness, and at the same time, it has an excellent magic guide.
It has always been an excellent auxiliary material for forging weapons.
Generally speaking, if a sword is not mixed with magic copper, magic silver, or even more precious magic gold when forging, then the forged weapons are usually just ordinary weapons of the first and second grades, and the magic guide xìng is extremely poor, which is not suitable for drawing magic and making it into a magic weapon.
Therefore, the price of a magic copper plate is ten times more expensive than a thousand-forged steel chain.
In the art of painting demons, the carrier is a very important factor. Although everything in the world, even leaves or white paper can draw demons. But the carriers are different, and the power of the magic is also very different.
If a forbidden spell-level demon is drawn on a blank piece of paper, the final effect may be equivalent to a fair knight's full force at most. And if it is drawn on a carrier that can carry the continuous release of the magic mana, its power may be able to erase a castle!
This time he drew the magic circle, and Roy fell in love with these magic copper plates in the caravan's supply list at a glance. Compared with the wooden carriages and other carriers of the parchment rolls, the magic magic array composed of magic copper plates is stronger, more powerful, and less easily damaged by people.
Magic copper plate, cold and hard. On the smooth wrench of the dark yellow sè, hundreds of magicians were entangled like vines, and under the light of the overhead illuminating magicians, they slashed through the eerie streamers.
This is the first life magic that Roy learned in a desperate situation, the White Fish Water Arrow.
The power of a single water arrow of the fifth-level demonic beast white fish is only equivalent to second-level magic. However, after adding it to the continuous jī cycle magic, the magic power level of this magic, due to its dense number, reached a terrifying level four.
A magic copper plate magician, using a level 5 magic core, can release more than a hundred water arrows. And the magic copper plates completed in front of Roy are as many as eighteen!
In other words, in an instant, this magic magic circle composed of eighteen magic copper plates could release nearly two thousand water arrows.
Although these water arrows do not have the right head, the distance is short. But if it was released at the same time in a relatively closed space, Roy couldn't help but shudder when he thought of this. Put your hands together and chant the words: "Matthew is good, come to Lao Tzu." ”
Small hún balls. The dwarf axe spirit couldn't help but laugh and curse.
Compared to Roy, a bad boy, he felt that when he was seventeen or eighteen years old, he was as kind as a "sheep."
"It turns out that you kid wants so many things just to create this magic circle. ”
Looking at the large stack of demonic copper plates in front of Roy, the dwarf axe spirit understood.
Still, he was too kind.
I saw that the big head shook his head, and quickly put about half of the remaining materials into his space ring. And then hey hey smiled. "Wrong." I'm here to take advantage. ”
The dwarven axe looked at the shameless man in dumbfounded. After a long time, he was about to curse, when suddenly, with a whoosh, an arrow pierced the carriage tarpaulin and landed on the floor at Roy's feet, and the tail feathers trembled rapidly, making a buzzing sound.
Roy jumped to the back of the carriage and lifted the tarpaulin, when he heard a terrible "Enemy attack!"
The whole car formation has been luàn made a mess!a.
