Section 28 Encounter again
Verse 28 meets again
"Who? If we go forward, we're attacking. Fez, who was asleep, was suddenly awakened.
It turned out that he had walked for most of the day unconsciously, and the camel saw that someone was stationed in front of him and walked straight ahead, no wonder the other party made a sign of attack.
"Accident! Accident! just fell asleep. Fez, regardless of whether the other party believed it or not, said the reason why he didn't even believe it, but it was the truth.
"Then you can take a detour. The other party obviously didn't want to cause trouble, but the sword was not put back, indicating the other party's disbelief.
"Okay! Okay! I'll go!" Fez, who was not a person to cause trouble on his own initiative, immediately took the reins and changed direction.
"Well, isn't this Lord Fes?" Fez, who had barely walked a few steps, was recognized by the other party.
"Who are you?" Fez, who was far away, did not recognize the other.
"I'm Max! don't you remember?" shouted the other man as he stepped closer.
"You're not leaving?" Fez, apparently recognizing Max.
"Something went wrong, so I went and called the captain. Max clearly didn't want to say anything more on the matter.
Fez, who didn't bother to pursue anything, after all, everyone had his secrets.
"Fez, why are you on the road alone?" Under the warm hospitality of Slo, the leader of the mercenary group, Fez was once again pulled into the tent of the mercenary group.
"Accident! There was a little accident, and now I am being chased and killed, so I have to run. Fez's blame for an accident is a qiē, but the same can be said about things.
"Hehe, who would hunt down such a powerful magician as you, and you didn't set his house on fire with your magic, did you?" said Max in surprise.
"Hehe, you guessed it, but it's worse than that. ”
When Li Tian was on the road with the mercenary group before, Fez was a saboteur in their eyes.
Magic is not allowed not to be said, and every time he can't even be sure if he can send magic, so in Max's eyes, Fes is the "scum" among magicians.
Of course, among these people, except for the captain Slo, who can walk alone in the desert, they can't do it without a certain strength.
"You don't even give it to other people's masters" From Fez's expression, Max knew that he had guessed correctly.
"It's a few dogs!" Fez's explanation with a harmless face, "random dogs that bite people." ”
"Ahh Max made a frightened face.
"But it depends on the owner to beat the dog, and the owner wants my life.
Why haven't you left until now?" asked Fez's turn this time.
"Alas!
I don't know why, this time the connector didn't arrive two days late, so we decided to personally escort this batch of goods to the imperial capital, would you like to come with us?
Count us as hiring you, and pay you. Slow said with a sincere face.
Something went wrong with this mission, and even Slow himself didn't think he could safely deliver this cargo to the imperial capital.
But there is no way, in a small town or small city like Ishta, these goods cannot be shipped at all, and even if they are sold, the profits will be greatly discounted, and the expected purpose will not be achieved at all.
If it is transported to the imperial capital, I am afraid that the profit will be doubled, which is two thousand gold coins, so after calculating, Slow hired some mercenaries again to personally escort this batch of goods.
And meeting Fez, it was a godsend, so Slow wanted Rafis to join, even if it was temporary.
"I'm being hunted down. Fez asked rhetorically.
"You're just our doctor!" said Sloe, apparently unconcerned about Fes.
As long as you keep a low profile and find someone in the desert, it is more difficult than looking for a needle in a haystack, not to mention that after getting along before, Slow knows that Fes is not a wicked person, but also a person with a great sense of justice, so Slow is relieved of Fes's personality.
"That's fine, but I'm only responsible for being a doctor, not for fighting. "Fez's original plan was to pass through the Imperial Capital to transfer to the Magic Empire, so he didn't refuse, the most important thing is that Fez's didn't know the way, and someone to lead the way was the most in line with Fez's current situation.
In this way, Fez was once again integrated into this mercenary group, and according to the plan of the commander of the Sloes, this trip was more than 3,000 kilometers in total, avoiding the hottest noon and the coldest night, walking twelve hours a day, about 150 to 200 kilometers a day, and it would take about fifteen to twenty days.
There are two stops in the middle to replenish food and water, and it will take about a month to meet the impact of bad weather.
But Fez doesn't think about these, what Fez has to do is very simple, that is, how to think about improving his attack power, but it's easy to say and do.
The principle Fes has long known that the most fundamental thing is to improve his strength, as long as he reaches level seven, even if he is level six, he will not be so wolf to Haige himself, but Fez knows that the improvement of strength is gradual and cannot be achieved overnight, otherwise it will cause an unstable foundation and will have a very adverse impact on future development.
Then there is the compression energy, but fighting a warrior like Hagrid, the most important thing is speed, so the compression energy has become a little unrealistic, but Fez still does it, every day Fez is practicing how to compress energy quickly, how to cast spells quickly, but the effect is not very obvious.
But Fez's archery has improved a lot, mainly because of the magic bow, which is equivalent to a magic wand, but the magic bow is much easier to use than the magic wand, not only the casting speed is fast, the attack distance is long, and the attack power is also great.
However, the magic bow also has its Achilles' heel, that is, it can only be fired alone, and it only uses wind magic, and does not have a strong explosive power.
In fact, Fez also knows that the improvement of his archery is entirely due to the magic bow, and if he uses an ordinary bow and arrow, I am afraid that his archery will fall to the category of basic archery.
......
"We haven't had a sandstorm in less than five days, so we're really lucky. "Slow is in a good mood.
The mercenary group has been walking for five days, and after five days, it will be the next stop, and then you can have a good rest for two days, and if the market is good, you can consider selling some of the goods appropriately to reduce the pressure.
"Wouldn't it be better not to have a sandstorm?
Do you want to get sand all over your body?" Fez's mood was good.
"But your good days are coming to an end. Fez's eyes narrowed and looked into the distance.
"What, what's up ahead?" Slow knew that Fez's eyes were much better than the average person's, and he knew that it would be better to listen to the advice of professionals.
"Three kilometers ahead, there is sand, but it looks like the norms and the scope.
Judging from the scale of the dust, it should not be naturally formed, and eighty percent is man-made. Fez voiced his point.
"Fez, how many people do you think will have this effect? Slow was alert, too.
"It depends, if there is a magician, one will do.
If it is an ordinary person, it will take about 50 to 80 people to sprint at high speed to achieve such an effect. "Fez's didn't use his divine sense to scout in this area, but Fez's rough estimate can tell the number of opponents.
"Okay! Max, order the people in front, climb the sand slope in front, form a circular defensive formation, attack from a distance, just shoot the opponent away, don't run into the opponent!" Slow gave the order in an orderly manner.
When this mercenary group of more than 20 people formed a circular battle formation, the figure of the team in the distance appeared in everyone's sight.
"Who does the other party seem to be chasing?
It seems to be divided into two groups, with only three people on one side and at least fifty people on the other. Fez, standing next to Sloe, said what he saw.
"Do you have any flags?"
Fez's eyes narrowed, "It seems to be, but I can't see it clearly, and my vision is blocked by sand." ”
"Everyone, change their bows and arrows!" When the other party was about five hundred meters away, Slow gave another order.
"See, their flag was black, with a skull painted on it, and a snake in each eye of the hole. When the opponent was about 300 meters away from Fez, Fez saw the opponent's flag clearly.
"Ah, that's the sand thieves, we're going to die this time. ”
Recently, a newly recruited mercenary immediately lost the courage to fight when he heard that the other party turned out to be a powerful bandit team galloping in the northwest of the desert.
Although they are a well-known bandit gang in the desert, there are many small bands of robbers who carry the banner of vipers, so they are not necessarily vipers. Slow explained, but the most important thing was to cheer up his mercenaries.
"Ready!" is still two hundred meters.
"Projectile!" When there were still one hundred and fifty meters left, Slow decisively ordered to shoot.
More than 20 bows and arrows drew an arc towards the bandit gang, and when the sand bandit army rushed through more than 20 meters, the bow and arrow met the sand bandits.
But the twenty bows and arrows did not shoot down even a single person, and Fez saw that the opponent's armor did not look like a gang of robbers at all, with black iron armor all over his body, unified weapons, and consistent mobility, Fez was more sure that the other party should be an army.
However, Fez can't be sure if the other party can let go of his group, because the other party is pretending to be a sand thief and definitely doesn't want to be known by others.
"Flat shooting!" When the other party exceeded a distance of 100 meters, Slow quickly gave an order, and he didn't even give the mercenaries time to react, because Slow also saw the effect of the first round of attacks, but if these recruits were allowed to see such an effect, they would definitely escape, so these mercenaries must be forced to fight.
However, Fez was not optimistic about this attack, and sure enough, the second round of attacks still did not shoot down anyone.
"Looks like it's time to strike!" Faith whispered.
Fez quietly took out his magic wand and quickly cast two small spells: quicksand and wind pillars.
Although they are all basic magic below level 4, the combined effect is not weaker than that of level 5 magic, but it just has no direct lethality.
But the sudden appearance of sand and dust also caused a commotion on the other side.
"Sprint!" came a loud shout from the dust.
Pounce, pounce, pounce!!!
The team in front of them sprinted too violently, and several iron horses instantly fell into the quicksand.
"There's a mage on the other side! "It's still the same voice as it was just now.
Retardation!
Fez still used a second-level magic, but the effect of the sluggishness technique was not obvious, and several sand thieves in front of him had already rushed out of the sand and dust area.
"Change your weapons!Spears ready, axemen ready!" The sudden appearance of the sand did not surprise Slo, and when the opponent rushed out of the sand area, Slow immediately changed his tactics.
Fez's smile confidently because Fez's sluggishness technique was effective, the opponent's neat formation became sparse, and the first wave of attacks was only five knights.
In terms of numbers and tactics, the cavalry was clearly at a disadvantage, and under the influence of Fez's magic, the cavalry lost its formation and speed, and was finally stopped by the spears, and the five cavalry were scattered again.
By the time the second wave of cavalry rushed through the dusty area, none of the first wave of cavalry were standing.
The second wave of cavalry obviously had one of the leaders and rushed out of the dust area, and the other side did not attack immediately, but gathered the remaining "remnants".
"Listen, as long as you teach those three people just now, we'll let you go. A man who looked like the leader of the sand pirates stepped out.
"As long as you withdraw a hundred meters away, we will stop the attack, and we will not care about your business. Slow didn't look at the three men who were defending the outer circle.
"If you don't hand over again, our vipers won't let you go?"
"If you don't withdraw from our range again, we'll attack again. "Slow is-for-tat, no matter who the other party is, Slow will not give the initiative to the other party, this is a fact drawn from blood experience.
"Then don't blame us!" The leader of the sand thieves saw that the number of the other party was about the same as his own, and his thirty or so were about the same number as the mercenaries, but there was no distance to rush, otherwise under the charge of his own cavalry, one back and forth would crush the opponent, but for the sake of the prey, he had to advance.
"Sprint!" the cavalry commander drew his spear and gave the order again.
"Change swords, two wings of giant pincer formation!" Slow watched the opponent concentrate his forces and charge, and Slow immediately gave up the middle area, adopted a trap strategy, and completely gave up the frontal attack.
But just as the mercenaries gave way to the middle ground, Fez actually walked to the center of the mercenary group's abandonment.
"Kill!" Because Fez transferred the sand and dust to his side, the cavalry's sight was affected by Yan zhòng, and he did not see the emptiness of Yan zhòng in the center who was directing his troops because of Sloe's order, and vaguely saw Fez's figure, and immediately launched an attack.
Cluster Flame!
This is the method that Fez has come up with these days to increase his attack, and it is also the strongest magic that can be instantaneous so far, which is to concentrate a dozen compressed fireballs into a single flame burst, this is the first time Fez has used this magic, but he doesn't know the power.
Rumble!
The fireball exploded in the middle of the cavalry, and the mere sound of Fez knew that he had succeeded.
The powerful impact not only caused great damage to the sand pirates, but also pushed Faith out in an instant, which is of course the reason why Faith blessed himself with the Wind Walking Technique.
The explosion flattened almost the entire hill, and the thirty cavalrymen disappeared from sight in the blink of an eye.
But at the moment when Fez landed, a figure suddenly emerged from the ruins, black iron armor, standard weapons, and Fez could see at a glance that this was the sand thief chief who had just spoken.
Flame Burst!
Rumble!
However, the cluster explosion just now did not kill the other party, and this ordinary explosion did not even have a trace of effect.
However, the Flame Explosion Technique does not have a huge effect of several meters on the opponent, but it has an effect on Fez, and the Faith who blesses the body of the Wind Blast, is instantly pushed out of the way by the huge power of the explosion for several meters, and just dodges the opponent's long sword.
Magic Burst Flame Spear!
As he fled, Feth flicked his magic wand, and eight rockets fanned out at each other.
Because of the explosion just now, let the other party know that Fes had the strength to injure himself, so he didn't dare to hold it up this time, and suddenly fell down, and at the same time pointed his right arm in the direction where Fez landed.
At this moment, Feth saw the cold light in the opponent's sleeve, and with a wave of his right hand, the fire explosion technique exploded under Fez's body again.
Fez's body flew upwards suddenly, but the opponent's reaction was not slow, and after dodging the attack of the flame spear, the hidden weapon in his sleeve was aimed at Fez's direction again.
Flame Knife (a combination of Wind Blade and Flame Spear)!
Fez, as if he had forgotten about the other party's hidden weapon, was only concerned with firing his own magic.
However, the flame knife shot at the opponent at a faster speed, and the opponent instinctively raised his sword to block.
But Fez's Flame Knife was actually just a general combination of two magics, and it would immediately separate as soon as it was hit.
Sure enough, the opponent's long sword blocked Fez's wind blade, but the flame spear attached to it instantly broke free from the shackles of the wind blade, and in the other party's shock, the flame spear shot through the opponent's body.
However, the threat of Fez, who was in mid-air, had not yet been lifted, and the hidden sword shot by the opponent quickly shot at Fez.
But just as Fez was about to "die", a pair of powerful hands suddenly grabbed Fez's right leg, and then Fez's body suddenly disappeared into the air.
