Chapter 125: Flame Magic Arrow
Xu Yi jumped up instantly, lifted the tent and rushed out.
The sound of horses' hooves trampling the ground was heard in the northwestern field, which was transmitted through the camp, and woke up all the people who had fallen asleep in the camp.
The guards who were originally scheduled to take turns to rest in the middle of the night showed the results of their usual training at this time, and reacted immediately, put on a full set of equipment, gathered together, and quickly set up a defensive formation on the periphery of the camp.
Hart's loud cry sounded outside the camp, and after a while, he ran in, saluted Xu Yi, and said in a deep voice, "Elder, there is an enemy sneak attack. β
Seeing that there was no panicked look on Hart's face, Xu Yi nodded and asked, "You are responsible for arranging the defense work, and I won't interfere." If you need me to do something, you can sue me. β
Hart glanced at Xu Yi with some surprise, and then remembered that this elder was actually a high-level magician.
In this kind of caravan guard, if there is one more high-level mage, it will greatly increase the combat power of the entire guard.
It's just that because of President Xu Yi's identity, Hart always subconsciously ignores the possibility of Xu Yi personally going into battle, making him always forget his identity as a magician.
After hesitating for a moment, Hart said, "In that case, Lord Elder, I hope you are ready to participate in the war at any time." β
Looking at the back of Hart who turned to leave after speaking, Xu Yi frowned slightly.
Hart did not refuse to allow himself to enter the war, which proved that the shape shì may not be optimistic.
"President, is there an enemy sneak attack?" Camby's voice sounded behind Xu Yi. "What kind of guy dares to attack our Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, do you want to die?"
Xu Yi looked back. But he found that Camby and one of the dwarves in the convoy did not have the slightest nervousness or fear in their expressions. Instead, they all looked excited and expectant. I couldn't help but laugh dumbly.
These dwarves are really worthy of being called "battle races" by all the races on the Sainz continent.
However, these dwarves are all mechanical engineers of the Magic Machine Tool R&D Center of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, and they can be regarded as the baby bumps of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, even if Xu Yi believes that their combat power is very strong, he does not dare to let them take risks on the battlefield.
After a moment of silence, Xu Yi stopped the eager Camby and the others, and asked them to stay in the camp to take care of the other ineffective staff in the convoy, and he stepped out of the camp.
Although time was of the essence when it came time to set up camp. Hart and the other guards still relied on the magic locomotives on the periphery to build a small fortification, and they were gathering behind this rudimentary fortification, staring intently in the direction from which the sound of horses' hooves came.
"How's the situation?" Xu Yi touched over and looked in the direction where the sound of horses' hooves was heard, but he could only see that it was pitch black and he couldn't find anything.
"I'm afraid it's not good. Unlike when he first informed Xu Yi just now, Hart's face now became more solemn. "The three guards who were patrolling in that direction haven't come back yet, and I guess they're too bad luck. And judging from the sound of horses' hooves, the enemy who attacked was probably at least more than two hundred horsemen. β
"Two hundred riders?" Xu Yi frowned deeply. "With so many cavalry, it certainly won't be your average bandit. β
Hart nodded slowly. glanced at Xu Yi, and stopped talking.
Xu Yi patted him on the shoulder: "I'll talk about it later." Let's deal with this time well. Otherwise, it will be questionable whether we will survive or not. β
"Yes. β
Hart nodded heavily, looked up at a tree next to the camp, and shouted, "Issos, how's it going?"
There was a sound of leaves at the top of the tree, and an elven guard jumped down and nodded to Xu Yi, his expression equally solemn.
"It's four hundred meters. β
"Good, get into range, no need to say hello. Everyone, bow and arrow ready!"
At Hart's order, all the guards touched their side, each holding a magic repeater.
"Put!"
Hart's right hand fell heavily, and Xu Yi's ears suddenly sounded a sound of feather arrows breaking through the air.
A moment later, countless arrows pierced the night, and a terrible scream and the dull sound of people turning on their backs suddenly sounded in front of them.
The magic repeater that Xu Yi equipped with for the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce escort team is a new version of the magic repeater that has been improved on the basis of the magic repeater provided to the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce at the beginning of the year, not only the rate of fire is faster, but the number of arrows that the arrow box can hold is also more, and at the same time, the number of arrows that can be shot is nearly thirty percent more than the previous magic repeater.
Although there were only forty guards in total, the rain of arrows released by each of them with a magic repeater was comparable to the 500 archers in the ordinary army of the Lampari Kingdom.
A continuous rain of arrows spread out in the darkness, and the sound of men and horses screaming was constantly heard in front of them, indicating that the attacking enemy must have suffered heavy casualties.
Just when Xu Yi felt that if he continued like this, the enemy who suddenly came to sneak attack would probably be shot before he could get close to the camp, a bright light blue circle of light light suddenly lit up in the darkness ahead, as if a semicircular cover was shrouded in the field.
"Blue Guardian?"
Seeing this pale blue aperture, Xu Yi was taken aback.
This light blue aperture is clearly the water system eighth-level magic blue guard!
So, there are actually high-level magicians who can perform eighth-level magic in the team that came to sneak attack?
The endless rain of arrows in the sky viciously hit this light blue light curtain, but it seemed to be equipped with a wall made of water, which could only wave water waves on the aperture, but it could not penetrate the light curtain at all, and fell down one after another outside the light curtain.
Seeing this situation, Hart's face sank, turned his head to look at Xu Yi, hesitated for a moment, and said, "Lord Grow, it seems that you still need to take action." β
Xu Yi took a look at the opposing cavalry team that could already be seen clearly under the light curtain, and found that there were more than 100 cavalry who survived under the rain of arrows just now, and his brows immediately furrowed.
Such a large number of cavalry troops will definitely not be ordinary bandits, but should look more like a regular army.
Even judging from the complete equipment and uniform movements on their bodies, and the coordination that seems to be in an orderly training. Even the average city guard in the Lampari kingdom is far behind.
So where did these guys come from, and why did they suddenly raid the convoy of the New Flying Chamber of Commerce at night?
But now is not the time to think about these questions. Hart's request was heard. Xu Yi shook his head slightly: "Now is not the most suitable time for me to make a move." Hart, get a new magic arrow case. β
Hart's eyes widened suddenly, "Won't you?"
"Nonsense, don't you use it at this time, do you want to keep it and go back to have children?" Xu Yi reprimanded.
Hart swallowed with difficulty and turned his head to gesture to the guards around him.
The other guards also looked incredulous, looked at each other, and hesitated for a moment. Only then did he replace the arrow box of the magic repeater in his hand and replace it with a very special-looking arrow box.
Seeing that the guards had all been changed, Hart looked at Xu Yi again with a sad expression.
"Grown, do you really want to use it?"
"Don't talk nonsense, I didn't see the enemy so close. Xu Yi pointed to the cavalry team in the wilderness ahead that had slowed down after supporting the blue guard.
"Okay......"
Hart turned his head to look at the enemy who was not far away, took a deep breath, and whispered, "Release!"
Slightly different from the sound of countless arrows tearing through the air just now, this time the sound of arrows released by the magic repeater breaking through the air was still harsh and terrifying, but it was much warmer. It seems to be much softer all of a sudden.
And when the arrow pierced the night sky, there were red trail lines behind it. It's as if each arrow has a long tail trailing behind it.
The magic repeater was fired continuously, and countless arrows flew out, and in an instant, countless dense fiery red lines were dragged out of the air, completely illuminating the entire night sky.
"Boom-"
The first arrow hit the pale blue light curtain in the blink of an eye, but it was not easily blocked by the light curtain like the arrows just now, but directly caused a violent explosion.
With a flash of red light, a violent and deafening explosion was heard far away over the wasteland.
"Boom Boom ......"
Immediately following the first arrow, countless arrows collided with the light curtain, causing countless violent explosions in an instant.
The pale blue light caused countless water waves to ripple in the countless violent explosions in a row, and the light dimmed instantly, and the entire light curtain became unstable, as if it would disappear directly in the next moment.
However, a moment later, the light curtain became stable again, and even erupted into an even more intense but blue light, completely enveloping the cavalry team below.
"Hey, this guy has a lot of magic. Xu Yi sneered and said to Hart: "Keep shooting, I want to see how long he can last." β
Hart smiled bitterly, "Lord, why are you doing this. Didn't you tell us last time that a flame magic arrow would cost thirty silver coins, so let's save some money. But now we've shot out forty Flame Magic Arrow Crates, which is a full eight hundred Fire Magic Arrows, and it took a total of ...... It cost two hundred and forty gold coins!"
"Oh, it's not much. If you can abolish a magician with just over two hundred gold coins, I think it's quite cost-effective. Xu Yiman didn't care about the authentic way. "Alright, don't say it, hurry on. Do you want those fellows to actually rush into the camp? Don't forget, the things in the camp are more valuable now, and if you let them rush in, the damage will be more than ten times that of two hundred and forty gold coins. β
"But Elder, if you make a move, you can fight against this magician, so we won't have a problem dealing with those cavalry. And why waste all this money?"
"First, if I can, if I can, of course try not to shoot. If you can solve a problem with money, why should I do it?" Xu Yi swept his gaze to those cavalrymen who were already within a hundred meters, and continued with a sneer: "Second, this is a warning to some people, telling them that the power in the hands of our Xinfei Chamber of Commerce is far beyond their imagination. β
Hart frowned, "Elder, shouldn't this kind of thing be kept secret?"
Xu Yihe smiled: "You don't understand this." Even if it's this kind of thing, it needs to be advertised. (To be continued......)
