Chapter 167: Breaking Through the Blockade!
"Slaughterhouse wars?"
The black-robed old man muttered in a low voice, at this time, not only Merlin, but also many other nobles and Count Selin, all focused their eyes on the black-robed old man.
Only then did they remember that when it came to big scenes, Master Hill was well-informed, after all, he had participated in the terrifying battlefield of "Slaughterhouse", and there were not many wars, which could be more cruel than "Slaughterhouse".
The black-robed old man looked at the many soldiers under the city, seemed to fall into memory, and said slowly: "The slaughterhouse war is very cruel, and even those powerful spellcasters who can destroy the military fortress alone don't know how much Lu Dao has fallen. The casters who can destroy the military fortress are at least level 4 spellcasters, which is the real scene of the 'slaughterhouse' in the later stage of the war, basically there are no soldiers, all of them are powerful spellcasters. ”
What the black-robed old man said was in the late stage of the war, and those powerful spellcasters who had great power in their gestures, and a spell could kill and injure thousands of ordinary people, were fighting each other, and they didn't know how many powerful spellcasters there were in the Dao.
"What about the pre-war period? What did the low-level spellcasters do?"
Merlin continued to ask.
"In the early stage of the war, before those powerful spellcasters intervened, some low-level spellcasters, together with the soldiers, blended into the huge army, waiting for the opportunity to kill the commander of the opposing army, but because the low-level spellcasters, the spell power is not strong, and in the face of hundreds or thousands of ordinary soldiers, it can be handled. But if you encounter tens of thousands of ordinary soldiers, a burst of crossbow arrows is poured wildly, and many low-level spellcasters die in the hands of ordinary people. ”
The black-robed old man shook his head slightly. There was also a hint of regret on his face. as a spellcaster. The black-robed old man, like most of the other spellcasters, considered himself different from ordinary people, and more noble than ordinary people.
And the caster died in the hands of ordinary people, in the eyes of the black-robed old man, this is the greatest sorrow of the caster!
However, it is true that some entry-level spellcasters, if they do not have defensive spells, face ordinary people with heavy crossbows. At this time, the caster is no different from ordinary people, and it is easy to kill.
However, once you have defensive spells, it is much stronger, but if you face thousands of well-trained troops alone, it is also very dangerous, and some third-level spellcasters will even be shot.
"Earl Selin, open the gates. Let me go alone. ”
Merlin looked at the dense soldiers under the city, and suddenly spoke.
"Hmm? Baron Merlin. You said you went out of the city alone? That's tens of thousands of troops!"
Count Selin's expression changed slightly, although he also wanted to solve the current crisis, but letting Merlin go out of the way was almost equivalent to sending him to death in vain, and this kind of meaningless death would not help the whole battle situation.
"Count Cylin's words are right, Mage Merlin, you have to think about it, although our spellcasters are powerful, but the casters below the fourth level can still be consumed by ordinary people in numbers!"
The black-robed old man also persuaded Merlin, after all, in the "slaughterhouse" war, it was not unprecedented, and the powerful spellcaster of the third level was consumed to death by a huge army with almost endless crossbow arrows.
Merlin was noncommittal, and said in a calm tone: "Did I say that I would have to fight against tens of thousands of troops? I have the Wind Surge, and I am very fast, as long as I can resist the shooting of crossbow arrows, then I will have a chance to reach the headquarters of Longadi and kill it in one fell swoop!"
After listening to Merlin's words, Count Selin's heart was also moved, although Merlin's plan was very crazy, in his opinion, it was difficult to succeed, but if it really succeeded, once Longardi died, Lebis's army would be self-defeating.
No matter how slim the hope is, it is still a hope, otherwise, it will be difficult to defend the city of Pugas just by trying to defend the city gates.
"It's a hope, but it's ......"
The black-robed old man wanted to say something more, but Merlin waved his hand violently, with a hint of resoluteness on his face, and said in a deep voice: "Count Selin, open the city gate, don't worry, since I drove out of the city, then there is a means to save my life, if there is really no chance, then I will come back, and then I will think of other ways." ”
Count Selin nodded, looked at Merlin with a complicated expression, and then said in a low voice: "If Baron Merlin can succeed this time, it will be a great achievement, and when the time comes, I can make the decision and promote the title of Baron Merlin to a viscount, and besides, the baron's father can also have the title of baron!"
Although the title in the city-state of Pugas is only a matter of Count Selin's words, the viscount is still very rare, and once successful, the old Wilson will be made a baron, this is a family, and there are two nobles at the same time, which is very rare.
It is enough to show that Count Selin attaches great importance to Merlin!
Merlin smiled slightly, and didn't say anything, although he didn't care about any titles, but if he could make the Wilson family have an extra viscount, and at the same time have the title of baron, it would be a great honor.
After all, titles are hereditary, and with two titles, the Wilson family's position in the entire city-state of Pugas is truly unbreakable!
"Open the gates!"
With the order of Count Selin, the huge city gate slowly opened, and Merlin's figure flashed, and he left Pugas City directly.
The Counts of Longardi were now complacent, they had just defeated an assault on the city of Pugas, and now they were in high spirits, and the situation was very favorable to them.
"Look, Lord Count, the gates are open again?"
Suddenly, a sharp-eyed knight saw the gate of Pugas City and slowly opened it again.
Count Longardi was in high spirits, and although it seemed that he had the upper hand now, he could not let his guard down until the last moment.
Seeing that the city gate was open again, Longadi was also puzzled, and muttered in a low voice: "The city gate is open again, do they want to storm again?"
Soon, everyone on the battlefield saw clearly, and from inside the city gate, only one person walked out.
"Alone?"
Count Longardi's eyes narrowed slightly. It seems a little hard to believe.
"Hmm? This person has elemental fluctuations in him. is a spellcaster. Could it be Merlin?"
The mage Hegar, who was beside Count Longardi, immediately thought of Merlin in the city of Pugas. However, even a mage of Hegar could hardly imagine that an entry-level spellcaster would dare to fight against tens of thousands of well-trained troops on his own.
"Ha Luha, it's stupid to want to deal with my tens of thousands of troops alone, even if he is really Merlin and has really entered the Dark Spirit Realm. But what is there to be afraid of such an arrogant and stupid person?"
Longadi also seemed to be enraged by Merlin's behavior, one person wanted to fight against tens of thousands of troops, unless it was a powerful spellcaster above level four, who could destroy military fortresses one by one, it was simply impossible.
"Perhaps, he doesn't want to confront tens of thousands of troops head-on, his target is the Earl!"
Mage Hegar was keenly aware of the violent wind elemental surging from Merlin's body, and he immediately guessed Merlin's intentions.
"Hmm, deal with me, hmph, even if he does succeed in front of me, won't there still be a mage Hegar? This will save you mages from going to Pugas City to find him!"
Count Longardi is confident in Master Hegar. So even if he knew Merlin's purpose, he didn't have a trace of worry. On the contrary, he looked at Merlin with interest, how did he break through the blockade of tens of thousands of troops?
"Huh".
As soon as Merlin walked out of the city gate, violent wind elemental fluctuations immediately appeared on his body, and he also noticed that there seemed to be several particularly powerful spiritual powers, constantly scanning himself, which should be the spellcaster beside Longadi.
"Windrush!"
Without the slightest hesitation, Merlin immediately unleashed the Wind Blast, and suddenly, his speed soared rapidly, and he ran wildly towards the headquarters of Count Longadi.
"Shoot!"
Seeing Merlin running wildly, tens of thousands of troops naturally would not remain indifferent, so an order was given, and suddenly, arrows like rain poured down frantically, and almost thousands of arrows shot at Merlin.
Merlin's face changed slightly, these thousands of arrows brought him a feeling of extreme danger, and sure enough, these mortals, alone, even if it was a powerful elemental swordsman, Merlin wanted to kill it, it was easy.
However, once they are united and tools are used, then their lethality will be terrifying.
"Earth Guard!"
Without the slightest hesitation, Merlin frantically released the Earth Guard, released it more than a dozen times in a row, and more than a dozen hard earth walls appeared in front of him, including an enhanced version of the Earth Guard, on the battlefield, in the face of tens of thousands of well-trained soldiers, Merlin did not dare to relax his vigilance.
"Click, click, click".
Soon, thousands of arrows fell, and the Earth Guardian in front of Merlin instantly collapsed, one after another, and even the enhanced version of the Earth Guardian didn't seem to last long.
Merlin's face showed a hint of madness, and the wind element on his body suddenly increased, and his speed soared to an extremely terrifying level again.
This is an enhanced version of Merlin's unleashed Wind Blast, and with a sudden acceleration, Merlin slammed straight forward, no longer facing thousands of terrifying arrows.
With so many arrows, even if Merlin keeps releasing the Earth Guardian, I'm afraid he won't be able to support it, unless he releases the first first-level Spell Guardian Monument he built not long ago, maybe he can resist it a little.
However, Merlin didn't want to reveal that he had the Monument of Guardianship so easily, after all, after passing through the defense line of tens of thousands of people, he also had to face many spellcasters recruited by Count Longadi.
"It's so fast!"
Merlin released an enhanced version of the Wind Blast, which was one or two times faster, and even the heavy crossbowmen were a little foggy, and if it was Merlin's previous speed, they could still aim and shoot arrows slightly.
However, with Merlin's speed now, they can't aim at all, and Merlin's route is not an established route, but a zigzag, and there is no law to follow at all.
Therefore, they could only watch Merlin break through the blockade of tens of thousands of people and gradually approach Count Longadi.
"It worked!"
On the walls of Pugas, seeing that Merlin withstood the first wave of attacks by tens of thousands of troops, and then increased in speed, breaking through the blockade of tens of thousands of people, Count Selin couldn't help but shout excitedly.
"Breaking through the block, it's only the first step!After all, Mage Merlin is very fast, and it is relatively easy to break through the block, but next, he will have to face many spellcasters recruited by Longadi, and that is a crucial step!"
The black-robed old man said in a deep voice, his eyes had always been on Merlin's body, breaking through the blockade was only the first step, and the most important thing was to defeat some of the spellcasters recruited by Longadi.
Other spellcasters, the black-robed old man was not worried, but the first-level spellcaster recruited by Longadi made the black-robed old man very jealous, he only knew that Merlin was only an entry-level spellcaster, although he had entered the dark spirit realm, it had only been less than a year, and he didn't know if Merlin was the opponent of the opponent's first-level spellcaster.
"Whether it succeeds or not, you have to come back safely!"
No one noticed that old Wilson had quietly come to the city wall, and a trace of worry appeared on his face as he looked at Merlin's running figure.
