"Fifteen degrees with your left hand, be careful to jump and attack. Captain Erlan stood on the roof of the luxurious carriage in the center of the position, calmly commanding the city guards to defend: "The three squads on the right, withdraw a little, you are too close to the edge. ”

The situation has changed a little from what everyone agreed before, because Erlan found that although there were many demonic beasts surrounding him, their strength was not strong, and there was no trace of high-level demonic beasts at all, so at his request, the four members of the adventure group withdrew from the first line, and completely handed over this pentagonal defense line to the city guards, giving them a chance to practice in actual combat, and he returned to the roof of the luxury carriage to watch.

Outside the defense line, the group of demonic beasts is dense, at least tens of thousands, but most of them are small demonic beasts, and the stone rats and wind rabbits that feed on stones and special soil are the most, more than two-thirds of them, and there are some strange rodents and other small demonic beasts in between.

For example, if you have a one-meter-long tail, you can coil the tail into a spiral and compress it close to the ground, and then suddenly bounce off the jerboa that pushes itself into the sky and jumps five meters high. The jerboa has a long, nose like a bird, and uses catapults to shoot its prey like an arrow.

Another example is to produce special gases in the body, so that a special layer of skin on the surface of one's body can be expanded into a balloon, and with the help of the buoyancy of the air, the lizard will float in mid-air, once the plankton lizard expands, the gap between the scales of the skin will be widened, and countless tiny spikes will be revealed from the gaps, and the spikes secrete toxins, once they hit the human body. It can give the poisoned person the illusion of great pain and fear, but in fact it will not cause any harm. In the process of floating, if the plankton lizard is attacked, the special skin on the surface will burst, and the small spines under the scales will be launched in all directions, causing great trouble to the attacker, while taking the opportunity to quickly escape with the help of the reverse thrust of the air explosion, hiding and waiting for the epidermis to regrow.

The most special is a small dog badger, which is known as the archer or ** slingling in Warcraft. This badger's tail is not fluffy and is very dexterous, and it can be used to roll up some egg-sized stones on the ground with its tail. Let the tail curl around the stone in the air and continue to accelerate in circles, and then throw it from a specific angle like a catapult, with great accuracy. It was this kind of badger that brought a lot of trouble to the players.

In addition, there are quite a few slightly larger monsters, such as fire foxes, hyenas, ice wolves, and ocelots. Berserk raccoons, these monsters tend to use their magical powers to sneak up on the defense line from a distance, making it difficult for the team members to damage them, and once distracted, there are defensive holes. The small monsters in front of them will take the opportunity to break through, which will give the team members a lot of headaches.

Finally, there are more than a dozen medium-sized magical beasts, which are basically between one meter and two meters in length, mainly tigers and leopards. There is also a bear, the specific species is still impossible to judge because they have never attacked, but a dozen or so Demonic Beasts of the same Silver Rank have caused a lot of psychological pressure on the city guards. Fortunately, there are also four gold-level professionals in the inner circle, and it is not a problem to deal with them.

For Rhea in the Neutral Land, the City Guards are more like security patrols than like armies, and they are more responsible for security patrols, occasionally defending the city. In the three large cities of Rhea, except for the city of innocence where there is no zĂ i city guard at all, the city guards of the other two cities are all based on strong ordinary people, about one-third of the black iron rank professionals are used as skeletons, bronze rank professionals are the lower leaders, silver rank professionals will become high-level leaders, and the rare gold rank will be stored as team commanders. The structure of this escort is actually similar to the structure of the armies of other human countries, except that there are more low-level professionals here.

However, due to the careful selection of Erlan, there are no ZĂ i Black Iron Rank professionals in the wedding escort team at all. In the team of thirty people, twenty-five bronze high-rank, four silver beginner and one silver intermediate rank, the strength can be regarded as very strong, so in the face of the siege of tens of thousands of demonic beasts, it can always stand like a reef in the angry tide.

"You think this is the work of the druids?" Although the fighting on the periphery was very lively, the few people inside the defense line, except for Erlan, who was focused on commanding, everyone else was very leisurely. Catherine knelt on the roof of the car and looked at the few silver-level beasts behind the herd of demonic beasts in the distance.

"Who but the druids can incite so many magical beasts to besiege us. "Only those who shout every day to be with nature can do it." ”

"But what a druid. Lina asked in disbelief, "You can control so many magical beasts." ”

"You have some misconceptions about the druids. Pannis pointed out Lina's mistake: "The druids didn't control the animals, they never controlled the animals, they just became one with nature and let the animals see them as friends." As for the current scene, it is not the result of control, but they use their skills to appease the animals in reverse, making the animals angry and irritable, and treating us as enemies, which is actually very easy for the druids, even if they are novice druids, they can do it lightly. ”

"Well, I've seen a few elven druids. Catherine also nodded: "Indeed, as Pannis said, it is actually easy to let the demonic beasts in the wilderness attack a certain target, the difficulty lies in how he maintains this kind of situation of the demonic beasts, I have been looking for a long time, but I can't find his existence." ”

"If you are sure of the existence of something, but you can't find it in all places. "That only says one thing," Pannis said. ”

"See, does that mean there must be something I've overlooked?" Catherine seemed to figure something out, and slowly lifted her chin to look up at the sky. In the sky, a small black dot circled back and forth around the group of demonic beasts, unabashedly his existence: "The one he is riding is an eagle, how high is it flying? 1,500 meters?"

"No, I can't. Pannis was also calm: "It's only about 1,200 meters." ”

"That's out of range as well. Catherine sighed: "Lina, don't read at this time, think of a way, by the way, wake up the stupid guy next to you, now is not the time for her to be distracted." ”

"I can't help it. Lina reached out and pulled Vivien's face into a ridiculous expression: "A target more than a thousand meters away." There's no way I'm going to hit it, it's useless, ah, it hurts. ”

"Idiots, stupids, fools. Vivien withdrew the staff that had been stabbed in Lina's ribs and looked around blankly, "Why are there so many monsters?

"Well, I knew it was the result. Catherine ignored Vivien's question, pointed to the sky with a headache, and made a direct request: "The one above." Is there a way to fix it?"

"Well, it can be solved. Vivien sat cross-legged on the roof of the car, looked up at the sky with her chin propped up, and said calmly, "If I am promoted to the Legend rank now, it will be no problem at all. ”

"Talking nonsense again. Catherine rolled her eyes: "Then I can only let it continue to fly, hoping that he will fly for too long and starve to death in the sky." ”

"Catherine, Catherine. Freya's singing voice came from under everyone, "Is someone attacking us now?"

"It's just a whole horde of demonic beasts attacking us. Catherine said, "And an eagle in the sky." If the person riding the eagle can be killed, this group of demonic beasts can probably be solved quickly. ”

"It turns out that some people really regard us as targets. Freya sighed and said sadly, "Why? Why do people always hurt each other? It should be full of flowers, applause and joy, but why would anyone want to paint it with the color of blood and flames, why ......"

"Bang. Vivien said in a deep voice, "Shut up and get down to business." ”

"Okay. But I think you owe me an explanation. Freya said, "I have felt something is wrong since last night, that you are acting strangely, and that you are so nervous that you know I might be in trouble. As a result, I was in trouble today, so I want an explanation after the matter is over. ”

"Okay. Catherine sighed helplessly: "I'll find a chance to explain to you in the next two days." ”

That being said, But Catherine winked at Pannisy with a pleading look, and the underlying meaning in her eyes was clear, so she quickly made up a credible reason.

"Is the height 1,200 meters?" Freya suddenly became like a completely normal person, "How big is the circumference?"

"A kilometer in diameter. Catherine subconsciously replied, "Do you have a solution?"

"Otherwise, how can I be your teammate?" Freya's voice suddenly sounded full of vitality, as if the originally deliberately suppressed passion was suddenly released: "Give me half an hour, and I can give you a miracle." ”

Catherine froze, and there was no movement on her body, until several minutes passed, and Pannis noticed that the corners of her mouth began to slowly turn up, her frown gradually relaxed, and her eyes were even covered with a layer of mist. Turning their heads, Lina and Vivian actually reacted the same way, with a look of embarrassment, as if they remembered something, and their minds had drifted to the past days.

"You guy, you guy. Catherine's lips trembled slightly: "You are going to get married, I thought that the old days were gone forever, and you will become a little princess forever, and you will never come back." I didn't expect you, I didn't expect you to come back again, you are still the same you. ”

"You stupid, it's obviously impossible to continue to fight side by side, isn't it okay to enjoy your peaceful life with peace of mind from now on?" Lina secretly wiped the corners of her eyes: "Why do you want to come back, just to deceive people's tears?"

"You liar, big liar Freya. Vivien's voice was filled with tears: "You knew how sad we were when you suddenly disappeared, and we finally met, but you made a look like I am happy now, so that we didn't dare to bother you anymore." Bastard, since that's the case, you're estranged to the end, what are you going to do when you come back? ”

"I'm sorry, I can't help it, even for the sake of a lifetime of happiness, I can't forcibly suppress my heart anymore. Freya also seemed to be sobbing quietly, "I'm sorry everyone, and, big sister, I'm back." ”

"Welcome home. Catherine covered her mouth and tilted her head as best she could, suppressing the emotion in her heart and the tears in her eyes.
