Chapter 34: The Creativity of Wisdom The Tools of Murder

The cry of the bipedal wyvern rang out in the sky, and Asa looked up to see two shadows that looked as if they were just the size of bats slowly circling around him high in the air

Asa secretly screamed that it was not good. Separated from the troops, a lone horse is undoubtedly an excellent target for attack. When he first left the general's army, he was careful to hide his tracks in the woods as much as possible, but he hadn't seen the shadow of the two-legged wyvern for the past few days, and he didn't know that he had encountered it when he was about to reach Bracada, and it was still two.

With a roar, one of the bipedal wyverns began to swoop down towards him. In the blink of an eye, the figure of the flying dragon became larger and larger under the sunlight, and even if there was still a distance of tens of meters, you could feel the fishy wind blowing on your face. Asa stepped off his horse and became uneasy.

Although he is not actually a scout of the Imperial Army, he seems to have no time to explain the situation. Asa watched the wyvern's swooping trajectory carefully, and at the right time, he reached out and flew out with a fireball.

He had a good grasp of the timing of the wyvern's flapping wings and the momentum of the dive, a timing that no mage could match, and only a warrior could have the feeling he had cultivated in hand-to-hand combat. And only the lowest level of spells like fireballs can be condensed and sent out in an instant. That's why Asa has always liked to use this basic spell, no spells and condensing magic resonance or anything, it's simple and straightforward, and you can attack at any time. Moreover, the power of his fireball is by no means comparable to that of any low-level magician, it is enough to be a high-level attack magic, even such a huge monster cannot withstand a blow.

It was as if the fireball was about to hit the wyvern's chest. Suddenly, the fireball seemed to be flicked by an invisible hand, and its trajectory was skewed, and the fireball passed past the Wyvern. The bipedal wyvern was probably startled, let out a call, flapped its wings and flew back into the air.

Before Asa could be surprised, he saw another sight that surprised him even more. A small black dot suddenly detached from another bat-like shadow in the sky, and then began to fall. Of course, it wasn't really a bat, but the image of a giant bipedal wyvern in the sky, and the black dot that was separated seemed to be a person. That person actually took the initiative to jump from a height of a thousand meters as soon as he jumped very gracefully.

This person obviously didn't use the 'volley' or other landing slowdown magic, and as he fell faster and faster, getting closer and closer to the ground, he had become a blurry black shadow under the rapid fall, and he couldn't see what kind of person he was. Asa was a little stunned to see it, such a high height, even if this man was cast of steel, only to fall into a pile of rags on the rocks of the high ground. If it's flesh and blood, the result is similar to watermelon and tomatoes.

Asa wasn't done yet, and the dark shadow had already fallen to the ground not far ahead.

There was an earth-shattering bang. It was as if the whole of the wild heights had been shaken by the impact, and the rubble flew and the rocky surface collapsed like crispy bread into a large crater. Asa stared at the dust in front of him in amazement, and took several steps back before he could stand firm. It was as if it was a thunderbolt that flew down from the nine heavens, carrying the wrath of the heavens and the might of the gods.

"If you don't want to die, just stand there and don't act rashly. The voice was not loud, but it was cold and majestic, as intimidating as the great majesty of this fall. In the middle of the smoke-filled pit, a figure was slowly standing up from a half-squatting position.

"Is that you?" the smoke cleared, and the man who had fallen from the sky stepped onto the ground and recognized Asa. His tall and slightly thin body seemed to be a sculpture-like perfection condensed by countless essences, and his face was elegant and at the same time well-defined.

Asa nodded slowly: "I should also think that I can come down like this, it should be, and it can only be you." Even if he can't remember this appearance, he will never forget this almost invincible majesty and bearing. That's the general who commands all of Orf's orc forces, Gru.

On the bipedal wyvern, Asa listened to the wind whistling in his ears, the trees below were like small grasses, and the horse he was riding had become the size of a worm, and it seemed that he could see the vast wild heights at a glance. Asa sat on a special shelf and reached out to touch the back of the wyvern, a large area of lizard-like scales, and could feel the powerful muscles underneath move. Although he knew that he would never be able to afford it, he couldn't help but ask, "It's cool to use this thing as a mount, can you sell me a horse?"

"In three years, the lives of more than a dozen lizardmen, the energy and financial resources invested are not counted, and only four have been domesticated now. How much do you say it's worth?" General Gru's words were succinct and powerful.

"How could such a treasure be sold, such a treasure Cedros could be used for transportation and reconnaissance sneak attacks, and even the most skilled air mage's flying skills could not compare to this big winged one. And in terms of combat effectiveness, even ten griffons may not be able to compare. It's a shame that he wants to get something like this. The old man sitting in front of Asa said. Asa could see that the old man's air magic skills were high. He sat in front of him, and even in such a fast flight, the wind speed around him did not blow people's eyes open, and everyone's words could be heard clearly.

A middle-aged man next to him looked at Asa and said, "Young people's magic is very good." A single fireball can be so powerful," he gestured to the old man behind him. "If it weren't for the teacher's quick action just now, this treasure of Mr. Cedros would have suffered. ”

"Oh?" Asa asked, a little surprised, "So how many of you are .....?"

"We are all mages of the Tower of Teeth. The middle-aged man also pointed to a few people on the other bipedal wyvern and replied. "Young man, do you love the Enfast Empire? ”

"For the time being, he is a priest in the army. Asa replied, giving the magicians one more look. The Tower of Teeth is a place similar to the Mage's Guild in the religious countries of the southwestern part of the Empire. Unlike the Academy of Magic, although it is purely a non-governmental organization that has nothing to do with the country, it is full of quite high-level magicians of various elements, and it is very famous among adventurers.

"Young people's magic is very flavorful. Would you like to come to us and study it together?" said the middle-aged man to Assa.

"Don't dig into the corners. Such a young man with potential must be a disciple of Bishop Ronis. The old man said. "But young man, have you ever been to us, and I look like I've seen you somewhere......

"Huh? I look very normal, and I look a lot like a lot of people. Asa gripped the past. He knew it must be the effect of the elven wanted warrant.

The journey of the original few days passed in half a day under the high speed of the bipedal flying dragon. Asa also saw the general's army on the road. From above, it looks like a large group of ants. At dusk, the two two-legged wyverns sent their group to Ofu.

Cedros gave them a warm welcome and greeted them happily, and was surprised to see Asa.

"I saw a lone soldier and was about to be arrested and interrogated about the unit, but I caught him. General Gru said.

After listening to Asa's words, Cedros shook his head regretfully and said, "I can't imagine that this is the case, and a person's emotional out-of-control has caused such consequences. It's a pity for the innocent five thousand young soldiers. ”

"It's not innocent. Asa said. He now had an indescribable disgust for the fanaticism of those warriors. "They also want to come. ”

Cedros shook his head and said lightly, "Don't say that. Young people don't know how to see the essence of things clearly, so they are naturally easily confused by others and carried away by passion. It's really a pity to seek death for these senseless reasons. ”

The old magician at the head asked, "Is this what you invited us for?" but you don't think that a few of us air magicians can stop five thousand soldiers. ”

"It's not a block. Cedros smiled helplessly, corrected. "It's to kill them. People who are mad about anger and hatred, even if they let them go back with their lives, will only spread more hatred. There is no benefit to this emotion, no matter who it is. He took a deep breath and summed it up again. "So for the sake of long-term peace, they must all be killed. He turned to look at Asa. "It's a decision we made, and I still want to ask you..... What do you think we should do?"

Asa frowned and thought about it, only to feel an incomparable sense of boredom, shook his head and sighed, and whispered, "Kill you." ”

"What the hell do you want to do?" asked an air magician.

Cedros pulled something out of his pocket. It's a round piece of glass with a thick middle and then a thinning edge. "It was given to me by a dwarven craftsman before, and it was a wonderful thing, and I found something very interesting about it. He looked up at the sky and said. "Tomorrow and the next two days will be windless and sunny. ”

Asa and the mages faced each other, not knowing what he was trying to say.

The next day.

Good weather.

The general looked up at the dazzling sun. It's a good weather for battle, and the fresh air of the plateau and the scorching sun that shines on the skin will make the bloody fighters more excited and brave. The orc city called Orf is not far away.

The orcs had been completely silent since that night, and the Wyvern had only occasionally appeared in the sky. The soldiers were even more combative because of the timidity of these orcs. The general knew that there should be a turbulent undercurrent behind this calm, but he only 'knew' that the dead heart would not be distracted by anything else, he just wanted to rush and fight, to hear the wails of the orcs, to feel those furs and bones break and shatter under his axe, and to die honorably. That's all he put his heart and soul into. As soon as he began to choose this path, he knew that there was no turning back, he never thought about victory, defeat, and the fate of these five thousand soldiers.

"There's a small group of orcs ahead. "During the march, the soldiers at the front spotted the target and immediately reported it.

The general shouted in his loud voice: "Warriors, the time has come to show our courage and sword for our honor and the hatred of our nation." Kill them all. ”

The soldiers responded with a beastly roar and rushed forward like hungry wolves.

The small orc force began to flee, but slowly. The soldiers shouted and pursued, and gradually pursued to a flat field, in front of which stood a hill peculiar to the wild highlands, and there was nothing around it, but a large rock that had been pulled up in place.

The sky suddenly darkened, and the dazzling sunlight suddenly disappeared from view. The general looked up and saw a huge shadow enveloping the sky overhead. It's not a cloud, it's not anything else tangible, it's pure shadow. The general had never seen anything so strange. The shadow side was next to the boulder in front of it, and it looked like a strange giant hat on top of the hill in the sky.

Amidst the fighting shouts of the soldiers, there was a sudden burst of screams that were as high as a human being could make. This cry was so sharp that it cut the enthusiastic shouting into two.

There was not the slightest hint of other emotion in this voice, as if it was just screaming for the sake of screaming, instinctively, screaming to tear his body apart. As soon as the sound pierced the ears of its kind, it immediately aroused instinctive fear, even the general. The general turned around and saw an unbelievable scene.

A dazzling circular curtain of light swam among the soldiers behind. Everything that could burn within the light curtain burned in an instant, the soldiers' hair, leather armor, boots, belts, clothes, and even skin...... But these flames look completely weak and almost invisible. Even the pitch black in the dazzling curtain of light reflected blinding points of light, drowning out the color of the flames.

The air was full of scorching odors. All the people stared in horror at the blinding light, trying to discern what it was, but it was just light, pure light. Starting with the huge shadow in the sky, a funnel-shaped light curtain gradually shrank, and then the tip of the funnel fell on the soldiers.

Sunlight. This is the only thing that a soldier under this funnel of light can feel.

The light that used to shine on all things, giving warmth and life is now so intense. Even if they closed their eyes and covered them with their hands, they couldn't resist it, and the soldiers' eyes were completely blind in an instant, as if they felt that they had received enough of all the light they should enjoy in this life.

This incomparable brilliance ran directly through their bodies. All the nerves on their skin boiled and twitched in the light, and the pain, sharp enough to pierce the soul, made them scream and scream with all the strength they had left in their lives. Then they smell the scorching stench emanating from their bodies and hear their muscles cracking like fried beans in the heat.

For the first time, the sun, which had been so amiable and admirable for a long time, made everyone present feel terror. Only then did I realize that the ball that could be seen every day was so huge and so unpredictable. Everything seemed incomparably weak in the pouring of heavenly might, and the human body, the horse, and the objects all became indistinguishable from each other after the light, and only some of the swords were still red to release the heat they had just received.

The fighting spirit and courage of the soldiers just now disappeared in an instant under the mysterious and unpredictable power, and all that remained was fear, and they began to flee in all directions. But the curtain of light enveloped them at an incomparable speed, scorching and roasting them.

The general was furious, furious, and he let out a senseless roar. He can't be afraid to back down, so he can only turn all his emotions into fanatical anger and fighting spirit. He roared with his axe and rushed to the two hills in front of him, and he could see that there were several figures there, and these were the ghosts of those figures, and he was going to use his anger to turn these ghosts into pulp.

But he was immediately bathed in this incomparable light, and immediately there was darkness before him, and he could hear two faint explosions in his eye sockets.

The pain in his body, which should have exceeded the limits of human bearing, could not hide his fierce fighting spirit, and he continued to shout and rush forward, but he could already hear his strong muscles quickly dry up one by one, making a crackling and popping sound.

I'm going to die like a war ...... He thought frantically. But even the last remaining thought that seemed to be incomparably strong was shattered in this light. With a 'plop', his head exploded, and boiling brains, eyes, and blood spurted out of his body, and then immediately turned into a charred mass of dead mass along with his body. fall down

The last of the still moving bodies collapsed and turned black in the light. With the sound of air currents crashing in the sky, the shadows disappeared, and so did the curtain of light. The wilderness was calm again, and the sun was as unbiased as ever, and it was shining everywhere of the earth, including the scorched blackness of that place.

Asa stood at the top of the hill and looked down at the twisted blackened body of the place, the charred limbs resembling burnt branches, only the blackened skulls attached to them showed white teeth to make it clear what it was. A few minutes ago, there were still five thousand young people alive and well, and they were shouting with high morale.

The screams of those few minutes are unforgettable to those who have heard them, and they are the most poignant and painful tones that a living being can make.

The air was full of scorching, and Asa knew that even if he ate bugs, drank raw blood, and even ate live animals in the wild, he might never eat roast meat for a long time after that.

Standing in the center of the magic array, Cedros put down his hands that had been held high, and sighed weakly, wondering if it was because of the manipulation of this magic that made him exhausted.

"It's amazing to be able to combine the air magic of so many people to control the airflow. A younger magician sighed as he looked at the magic circle at his feet. "It's really creative to be able to manipulate it and use the air currents to refract light to kill people. What a masterpiece. ”

Cedros snorted coldly, looked at his own work on the ground and shook his head disdainfully, his voice was full of tiredness: "It's just a murderous thing." Nothing remarkable. ”

"Remarkable. Terrific. A round of applause rang out from the thin palms of several necromancers.

A necromancer carefully looked at the magic circle in the crystal ball and exclaimed, "Awesome, it can be voted the most creative magic award of the year." I don't know if I should classify him as light magic or air magic. ”

"Five thousand people were killed by the sun, and this old man is better than us. At the very least, we have to throw magic on people, and he just needs to control the air pressure. Another necromancer said with a wink.

"That magic array is well drawn and better controlled. While the trick of controlling the wind pressure is not a big deal in itself, there is probably no one who can control it as well as he does. But..... In this way, wouldn't there be no army to be the enemy of his city-state?"

"That's bullying that there are no magicians in the army, as long as someone can see through this trick and use air magic to interfere. However, those academic sect brainless magicians are really hard to see through. ”

"Hey, hey, hey. Everyone saw that indeed not a single orc died. A very energetic necromancer applauded, drawing everyone's attention. "Give two points to the virtuous Ms. Vidrina and the gentleman. And also..... Celebrate that we're going to have two new members. This is a rare event in our Diya Valley in a hundred years. ”
