"Fireball. ”

"It's a mage. ”

"Intermediate mage. ”

"Five-ring strength. ”

Messiah and Semia stared at the hole below, and in the blink of an eye, they analyzed each other's strength. The two held hands, looked at each other and smiled, and then turned to look at Yulian on the side.

"Brother. ”

"Dad. ”

"It's a big fish. ”

"What are you going to do?"

"Let's see. ”

Listening to the two sisters' speeches, Yu Lian frowned and did not give an order immediately. However, from this point, Yu Lian also affirmed his judgment, that is, there must be the shadow of the Sith Empire behind the other party.

The mage is in a very strange and awkward position on this continent. They have great strength, but at the same time they are severely restricted. After all, the magical energy used by the mage comes from Mana, and Mana is a necessary existence for all life on the continent. If a mage consumes too much of Manna's power, it will have a serious and irreparable impact on the surrounding environment. Because of this, each country has strict restrictions on mages, and low- and mid-level mages can still travel freely, as long as they register with the local mage association, then they can be allowed to travel. However, the ** division of the upper rank and above is strictly forbidden to travel at will. Most of the time, they will only stay near the roots of the Mage Guild or the court. Because only the constant power of Manna at the root can ensure that these mages will not cause damage to their surroundings when fighting. Otherwise, if they cast powerful legendary spells in the wilderness where Mana's power is weak, there is a high chance that they will starve Mana and the entire area will be desolate.

It is precisely because of this dangerous surname of mages that their belonging is also limited. There are only two kinds of organizations on this continent that are willing to accept mages, one is the mage association, and the other is the political system of each country. After all, although mages have such and such dangers and hidden dangers, they have great power after all, and they are also a good choice as hole cards in times of crisis. Therefore, the royal families of various countries are also willing to train some mages to enhance their strength.

And for mages, they have no other choice. There is no particularly strong destructive power, and it is okay for mid-level mages to say that if high-level mages want to study magic and go further, then they need a large amount of Mana power as a backing, and such a strong Mana power cannot be found in ordinary places. So, their only option is to be able to infinitely radiate the root of Mana's power. These roots are generally held by the Mage Guild and various countries, so they can only continue to practice magic if they choose to become a member of it.

Of course, once during the war, then these restrictions will naturally be broken. But even so, the mages did not dare to go too far, because a long time ago, the Mage Guild issued a "Manna Declaration", as a powerful, mysterious organization, the Mage Guild stated their neutral position, and at the same time made a ban - it is strictly forbidden for any mage to use a strong ** spell in any name that is enough to interfere with or even cause Mana to dry up. Otherwise, once verified, then he will be hunted down by all the high-ranking members of the Mage Guild until this person is completely erased.

Because of this, it is difficult for a high-level mage to appear far away from the source, just like West's Larry Bod's ** Master, although he would like to go to the Twilight Forest and see Yuren with his own eyes, but due to the rules, he can't leave the royal capital at all unless there is a formal order or consent from the royal family.

Because of this, when the other party used magic, Yulian had already confirmed his original conjecture. The Cyclops, an idiot species that can't even count how big they can grow, will never learn to use magic. Therefore, it is the humans who cast the magic attack. However, due to its neutral attitude, it is impossible for the Mage Guild to send mages to be involved in the wars of other countries. Then there is only one who could be the court mage of the Sith Empire.

Merely......... Yulian stared at the shadows in the valley below with some surprise.

He didn't take these one-eyed monsters too seriously, after all, in Yurien's opinion, these idiots with no intelligence were just pawns of the Sith Empire, and they had no other purpose than to disgust the red fortress and make them panic. Such a guy just needs to send a few random people to control it. And the mage is the most valuable talent in the army, even if he is only a mid-level mage, it is impossible to be sent to such a place casually, just for this repeated harassing action?

Or did the Sith Empire actually have another purpose?

Just when Youlian was thinking hard, the battle situation below had also changed.

After the unsuccessful sneak attack, the mage seemed to have no intention of striking again, instead, with a low roar, five or six huge, burly figures came out of the shadows, holding stout, huge maces, and one by one the huge one-eyed ones kept turning, exuding a dangerous aura.

"Oops!"

Seeing this scene, Rand couldn't help but change his face, how powerful these cyclops are, they naturally know. Although these guys were vulnerable in front of Yulian and the others, Rand knew very well that even then it was not an existence that he could deal with. Therefore, the first time he saw these one-eyed monsters, he subconsciously thought of running away.

That's right, shouldn't you retreat? There are mages on the other side, and there are so many powerful monsters, it is absolutely impossible for you to fight by yourself and others.

Thinking of this, Rand couldn't help but subconsciously glance at the retreat behind him, and he had to be, the position chosen by the black-haired maid was really good, although from the perspective of rest, it was not the best choice. But it is precisely because of the unique terrain here that they are able to react to attacks in the first place. Not only did this high ground withstand enemy attacks, but the scattered rocks also became the best cover, which is the main reason why everyone was able to survive the surprise attack. If it had been a change to the wetland I had just chosen, then with the dense trees and sunken terrain around me, I am afraid that I would have been caught off guard by the moment and caught in the urn.

But even then, to order a retreat, this is unavoidable............ Rand was ruthless, and finally made up his mind, and just as he raised his right hand and was about to give an order, he found a dark shadow in the corner of his eye, and when he looked to the side again, he found that two one-eyed monsters had come not far below, and according to this distance, even if they retreated now, they would only encounter the encirclement of the other party, and it was impossible to succeed.

Careless!

Rand gritted his teeth, he knew he had missed the best chance to evacuate, and from now on, their only option was to hold on.

"Plug the gap!Prepare to shoot!!"

Hearing Rand's order, several of his companions immediately prepared, two of the shield warriors quickly blocked the gap below to prevent the cyclops from rushing up, while the remaining two girls also drew their bows and arrows again, hiding their bodies with the help of the surrounding rocky terrain, and aiming at the target not far away.

The first to act was still the black-haired maid.

Just as Rand opened his mouth and gave the order, the petite figure of the black-haired maid suddenly flashed, and then floated away like a ghost, and then, her right hand was thrown out to the side, and with a slight blinking sound, three metallic flashes instantly burst into the air. Almost at the same moment, a one-eyed troll that was approaching the crowd suddenly stopped, its mouth wide open, and let out a desolate roar. On its massive head, three short metal arrows were now firmly inserted into its eyes, and then, a turquoise liquid flowed out of it, and the hapless one-eyed troll, after a few unwilling roars, finally fell to the ground, becoming a corpse.

The death of the one-eyed monster also raised the morale of the others, and the two noble girls began to shoot arrows at the one-eyed monsters around them, although their arrows were not smeared with the same poison as the black-haired maid, but because the one-eyed monsters were too huge, and the basic skills of the two noble girls were also very solid, so for a while, they were forced to stop each other's movements, so that they had no way to move forward.

However, such resistance was limited after all, although relying on the efforts of the black-haired maid and the others, the cyclops stopped their movements for a while, and there was no way to continue the attack. But they didn't give up, on the contrary, they began to act more strangely with a strange whistle coming from the shadows of the valley. The cyclops scattered, expanding their encirclement and retreating, and it was clear that they were receiving some kind of order.

What's going on here?

Watching the other party's retreat, Rand was a little surprised, but he secretly raised his vigilance in his heart. After all, the situation so far has never been encountered by me, and I don't know what will happen next. Therefore, he clenched his sword tightly and watched around vigilantly, waiting for the other party's next move. I don't know why, Rand had a hint of foreboding in his heart.

Then, Rand saw a small orb glowing with magical brilliance emerge from the shadows, arc through the air in a perfect arc, and land beside them.

Boundless darkness immediately appeared, enveloping the crowd.
