Chapter 126: I'm Still Too Naïve

This flame magic arrow, newly developed by the New Flying Chamber of Commerce, will trigger a miniature flame explosion circle engraved in the arrow after each hit, and the power is equivalent to that of third-level fire magic.

Although the power of third-level fire magic is not enough compared to the eighth-level magic Blue Guardian, one third-level fire magic may not pose any threat to the Blue Guardian, and the power of ten, hundred, or even a thousand third-level fire magic is totally different.

Under Xu Yi's order, Hart and the other guards continued to equip the magic crossbow with flame magic arrows to shoot, and the fiery red tail flames in the night sky were dense and did not stop at all.

Seemingly endless arrows of flame magic slammed into the blue guard's curtain of light, causing a dense explosion that burst into a mixture of fiery red and pale blue magic light in the dark night field like fireworks.

At the beginning, the magician could continue to maintain it with his powerful magic power, but after all, there was an upper limit to the magic power of a magician, even if the strength of this magician was strong, it could not withstand the repeated bombardment of such dense and fast fire magic arrows.

The Blue Guardian only lasted less than half a minute, and then it was dimmed by the rain of arrows, and it seemed that it could no longer be sustained.

And because of the threat of such a violent rain of arrows, the cavalry team could only be protected by the light curtain before daring to advance, and the speed naturally became extremely slow, in this half a minute, it only advanced less than fifty meters, and did not even touch the edge of the camp.

At this moment, the light of the blue guardian finally began to flicker under the constant bombardment of flame magic arrows.

Xu Yi snorted coldly. Suddenly he raised his hand. Swing forward.

"Thorn-"

A strange dazzling lightning appeared out of thin air in front of Xu Yi. Like lightning, it pierced the night sky and hit the light curtain directly.

The light curtain shook violently, and suddenly burst out with a brilliant dark blue light, and then disappeared.

The lightning pierced through the light curtain and fell straight into the group of cavalry, bursting out with a blinding white light.

The more than 100 cavalrymen who were still maintaining a complete formation under the light curtain were concentrated by the lightning, and they were already crushed in an instant.

A shout was heard, and the remaining cavalry suddenly turned their horses' heads. But he turned around and tried to escape.

Seeing this situation, Xu Yi snorted coldly and ordered Hart: "Catch a few live mouths, and don't let go of the remaining one." ”

"Yes. ”

Hart took the order, and the guards changed to their normal arrow boxes again, and another round of arrow rain passed, and the few remaining cavalrymen fell again like a rice harvest.

This time, the ten elven guards who had come with them to serve as guards quietly sneaked through the darkness, and Hart ordered the rest of the guards to put away their magic crossbows, draw the short blades they carried with them, and rush out directly.

I saw that the ten elven guards had disappeared into the darkness. Hart and the other human guards had also taken control of the battlefield, and Xu Yi nodded. Back in the camp.

Everyone in the camp had been awakened and was gathering in the center of the camp to talk nervously.

The difference is that the dwarves are excited, but the humans are excited, nervous, and afraid.

Seeing Xu Yi return to the camp, a group of people all surrounded him.

"President, how's it going?"

"President, does it matter? Do you need to go with us too?"

"I said do you still need to ask? I didn't see the president smiling, it must be fine. Isn't that right, President?"

"President ......"

......

Xu Yi smiled slightly, waved his hand and said, "Okay, the enemy has been solved, everyone don't have to be nervous, let's go back and rest." I have to hurry tomorrow morning, so I have to take a break and take a break. ”

"That's it, it's too fast, isn't it?" everyone was stunned.

However, seeing that Xu Yi didn't mean to continue to explain, everyone discussed with each other for a while, and then returned to their tents.

As for whether they really plan to continue to rest, then Xu Yi doesn't care.

After returning to his tent and waiting patiently for a while, there was a slight sound of footsteps outside, and then Hart's deliberately low voice came in.

"Lord Grow, the battlefield has been cleaned. ”

Xu Yi lifted the tent and walked out, and saw Hart and Issos covered in blood.

"Lord Chief, Isos and they have captured three people, what do you think will be done?" asked Hart.

"Interrogate them well and see who sent them. Xu Yi commanded in a deep voice, glanced at the blood stains on Hart and Issos, and asked, "How about our losses this time?"

"Three of the patrolling brothers died, but the others had nothing to lose. Hart replied.

A hint of gloom passed over Xu Yi's face.

Although Xu Yi had already expected that there would be such a day sooner or later when the caravan escort was established, when he was really faced with the death of the guards, he still couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

After all, this continent is still a world that is far less stable and peaceful than that on Earth.

After waving his hand and motioning for Hart and Issos to interrogate the captives, Xu Yi turned his head to look at the tent behind him, but found that he was not half sleepy, thought about it, and simply went to sit cross-legged next to the fire in the center of the camp.

Seeing the crackling of firewood in the fire and the splashing of sparks, Xu Yi's heart also kept beating like flames.

Although the attack at night seemed a little uneventful from the perspective of the process, and did not pose any threat to the entire convoy, it was entirely because the other party misestimated the protective power of the convoy, and did not expect that the convoy guards were equipped with such powerful magic repeaters and the newly developed magic arrows of the New Flying Chamber of Commerce.

Under normal circumstances, the other party's two hundred well-trained cavalry are an extremely powerful force, coupled with a powerful magician who can support the eighth-level magic blue guard, this force is even enough to destroy a small city, and it is completely easy to deal with the convoy of the New Flying Chamber of Commerce with only fifty guards.

With such a formidable force, it is clear that it will not be an ordinary bandit who suddenly appeared out of nowhere, but a regular army sent from somewhere.

Xu Yi is now puzzled. It is this group that can be called an elite cavalry and a powerful magician even if it is placed in the regular army of the kingdom. Who sent it?

Judging from the other party's table xiàn tonight. It was clearly intended not to give the team any room for resistance.

However, one thing that Xu Ye can't be sure of is whether the other party intends to directly destroy the entire convoy, or does it plan to plunder?

After thinking about it for a while, Xu Yi found that without sufficient intelligence support, he could not get an accurate answer at all, so he had to give up.

"Hopefully Hart and Issos can ask something useful......"

Xu Yi glanced at the darkness outside the camp, where Hart and Issos were interrogating several captives, but what made Xu Yi strange. He hadn't heard any screams, and he didn't know how Hart was interrogating. ,

Giving up thinking about this, Xu also began to think about another question.

Tonight's sudden attack made Xu Yi feel a little vigilant in his heart.

Previously, he had been focusing on the development plan of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, although he had also been directly or indirectly reminded by Count Satsuma, President Cruise, and Her Royal Highness Queen Severny to beware of someone who would attack the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, but the development of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce has been very smooth, so that Xu Yi gradually relaxed his vigilance.

However, tonight's attack reminded Xu Yi of a cruel truth.

After all, the continent of Sainz is different from the peaceful and harmonious environment on Earth. The world is even more naked, and even the simplest and most straightforward violence will solve the problem.

Xu also wants to control all the problems and solve them at the business level. But others don't think the same way.

"To put it simply, I'm so naïve......" Xu Yi sighed and smiled self-deprecatingly.

Turning his head to look at the bodies of the three guards who were placed next to the camp and covered with cloth, Xu Yi's eyes narrowed slightly.

Maybe...... It's time for a shift in thinking.

After waiting quietly by the fire for a while, one of the guards came up and told Captain Xu Yihart to ask him to come over.

Xu Yi followed the guard to the outside of the camp to meet Hart and Isos, who had finished their interrogation, and looked at the strange expressions on their faces, knowing in his heart that they must have asked a very surprising result.

"How's it going?" Xu Yi asked.

Hart and Issos glanced at each other, their expressions were very solemn, Hart paused, approached Xu Yi, and replied softly: "Elder, these guys who attacked us are ...... An army of greedy wolves from the kingdom of Sark. ”

"Shack Kingdom?" Xu Yi looked at the two of them in surprise, with an incredulous expression. "How is this possible! This is a full two hundred kilometers from the border between the two countries, how is it possible for the army of the Kingdom of Sark to break through so deep into the border and launch a night attack on our convoy?"

Hart shook his head with an ugly face: "I don't know exactly what's going on. However, according to the captives' answers, they set out at the command of the order this morning, encountered no obstacles along the way, and then launched a surprise attack on our convoy during the night. ”

"Didn't encounter any obstacles?" Xu Yi narrowed his eyes, glanced at Hart, and snorted: "Hart, tell me, where is the defense range of the Zhenbei Army?"

Hart replied with a wry smile: "Elder, although the Zhenbei Army nominally needs to guard the northern border of the entire kingdom, the strength of the Zhenbei Army is limited, and it is impossible to send troops to defend every place, so except for the most important border line in the Muerto Mountains, the rest of the places are mainly the responsibility of the border cities themselves. ”

"I see. Xu Yi asked for the transcript of the forced confession just now from Hart's hand, and looked at it carefully, but he didn't see much valuable. "The captives said they had infiltrated at the behest of their command, but what about the people who commanded them?"

Issos shook his head, "I'm sorry, Elder, there is a mage and a knight who are so powerful that we couldn't catch them. I think they should be the commanders of these cavalry. ”

Xu Yi nodded, but he didn't blame Issos, after all, from the short battle just now, the magician had already shown great magical strength.

If such a powerful mage is determined to escape, then it is absolutely very easy to cooperate with a warrior of good strength, and it is almost impossible to catch them.

After looking through the confession report in his hand again, Xu Yi thought about it, stuffed the confession report to Hart, and said in a deep voice: "Hart, I'll give you a freight magic locomotive, you pick a few guards, take the prisoner and this report back to Bonta City, and hand it over to Her Royal Highness Queen Sevigny." ”

Hart was stunned for a moment, glanced at Xu Yi suspiciously, but didn't ask more, and responded in a deep voice.

However, after thinking about it, he still couldn't help but say: "Elder, if I bring a few more guards to leave, will the defense strength of the convoy be a little insufficient......?

"No, it won't. The attack tonight failed, and the other side could not organize the same attack again in a short time, the cost would be too great for them to pay. You just have to do what I tell you to do, and give these things to Her Highness the Princess, who knows how to arrange them. ”

Hal hesitated for a moment, then asked, "What about the battlefield here?" It's not good to have so many corpses here......

Xu Yi sneered: "Don't worry, things here will naturally be arranged, but we don't need to bother." (To be continued......)
