Chapter 990: Delaying Time and Countermeasures
Sometimes things that were expected or thought to be possible did not happen, such as the Pearson boy who attacked a girl's room at night to peek at the other person's bath, and sometimes things that were not expected or thought to be absolutely impossible did happen, such as being greeted by an enemy force who had been in ambush for a long time before he had gone far.
In addition to our group of friends, the team members also included Grana and Shiruf, but Lisa did not participate and was left in the fortress by her older siblings, presumably for fear that she would stab Lou Zi at a critical moment. If you think about it, it's not necessary at all, because there are a total of two natural stays in this team, and if I transform into a horse monkey shochu again, it will be three, and no matter how you look at it, it is destined to cause all kinds of accidents.
Of course, due to a thief in the team and a wonderful creature named Wangcai, the ambush was a failure from the start. In fact, a group of low-level monsters hid in the grass and stared at us, trying to jump up and attack when everyone approached, but they were discovered from a long distance. Then the ambush battle turned into an encounter, and when we were ready, the other side naturally did not take advantage of anything.
To be precise, most of us didn't even have a chance to fight, and the fight was over - Emlina rushed out with her sword of love, causing a large number of lightning strikes, but the girl apparently didn't care about this, and even took the initiative to transform it into energy attached to the blade, and beckoned to the enemy. Then, there is no then.
After the blonde girl put away her long sword and returned to the team, Grana, who was in charge of leading the way, couldn't help but sigh: "In this kind of place, the only people who can use metal weapons as usual are you and the demon boy named Zhou Yi, I am really envious." But Your Highness Princess, is it really okay for you to do this? Even if you are proficient in lightning spells, it will be dangerous if you absorb too much energy. ”
"Ahaha, I got used to it by accident, and I didn't notice it until the lightning struck down. Emmilina sneered and scratched the back of her head, "Gee, is this the rhythm that forced me to become a mage?
The girl wore a magic robe embroidered with various complex patterns and symbols on the surface, held a staff, and stood in place with an elegant and indifferent image, softly chanting tongue twisters, and a large number of colorful spell lights bloomed around her body, and under the desperate cover of many burly men in the front row, she threw out one thunderbolt spell after another and smashed them on the enemy's head...... Although this doesn't seem to have any sense of disobedience, I don't know why I always feel that I am wearing a strange outfit that pays more attention to selling cuteness and showing benefits in design than the protection and amplification effect, and then while performing an exaggerated crazy maneuver in the air, he spilled a barrage all over the sky, and finally shouted loudly "Be my ****", and then charged up to the super move that was so powerful that the earth-shattering ghosts and gods beat the opponent to the ground and collect it as the horse monkey shochu image of the Hou (Divine Beast) Palace, which is more suitable for Emilina's appearance, is it our illusion?
"Now isn't the time to talk about this, is it?" Sister Mei, who was guarding Senior Sister Blue Feather, couldn't help but interject before the topic shifted a little, "We have just left the stronghold not long ago, why were we ambushed by the enemy? Could it be that the other party has been prepared overnight, and these miscellaneous soldiers are responsible for hindering our advance?"
The female man naturally can't use firearms in this environment, and the sand eagle that she almost never leaves with her didn't bring at all this time, and it can be said that she is the most ineffective person in the team, but she still insists on staying by the side of Senior Sister Blue Feather. For this reason, Sister Mei even borrowed an enchanted ebony weapon from a certain blonde queen, even though it was only a dagger.
So that's right, compared to us boys and girls with their own magical powers, Sister Mei is an ordinary mortal in the true sense. Saliya had warned the woman before she set off, but that didn't make her change her mind.
Maybe Sister Mei, as a combat force, can't help anymore, but she is still much more experienced than us rookies, and she immediately noticed the most critical part of the matter.
Grana, who is also an old bird, obviously agrees with Sister Mei's guess: "It's very likely, but maybe it's just that the enemy wants to stall for time, it doesn't mean that they are completely prepared." You must know that the alliance was the first to enter the Thunder Plains, and our stronghold has only been built for a few days, how can the demon who entered on the back foot complete the construction of a magic tower with a more complex performance than the fortress? The other party may just want to make us feel tired through repeated resistance, after all, the longer the time drags on, the better it will be for them - if the magic array in that tower is really that powerful. ”
I wasn't going to speak, but the meaning of this Obasan's words made us still can't help but speak: "Wait, isn't that something that sounds like a strategic-level building fake?"
Emilina raised her index finger and shook it gently with a smile, "Zhou Yi, you don't deal with demons much, and you don't know them very well. These guys don't really have much combat power at their disposal today, and most of the time they are making a show of empty city plans, often tinkering with large-scale military garrisons at certain key locations, or building magic towers with empty shells inside to attract the attention of the Alliance, and then taking the opportunity to move the real troops to other places to carry out operations. So until we figure out the reality of the other party, the alliance usually doesn't send a large force, which is why we have to go to investigate. ”
"But didn't Shiruv say yesterday that she heard the sound of the magic circle running in the tower?"
"That's right, but Sheluf wasn't an expert in this area after all, and she didn't know what the magic circle was for. If it was some kind of self-destructing explosive device, and we thought of it as a summoning circle that could summon monsters that could be out-of-spec, and led the army to attack in an attempt to stop the summoning, what would happen to me, I don't need to tell you, you know, right?"
I couldn't help but be silent. The girl was right, this was indeed the cunning of the enemy, forcing the alliance to send people to reconnoiter even though it knew that there would be danger, thus containing the alliance's already small mobile force. Even the undisciplined little blonde queen can't do anything about it, who knows if any of those magic towers built by bat wings are really mixed with some kind of effect?
All in all, even if they know that most of them are disguises, the alliance can't let these magic towers go unchecked.
Grana took a few steps forward and clapped her hands, "That's all for the chat, we need to hurry up and continue on our way." ”
Today's journey was not as easy as yesterday's, first of all, we had no carriages to ride, and secondly, there were no paved roads to walk, and we were all crossing the meadow. Since I had just gone out, it didn't have any impact yet, but after a long time, problems began to emerge one after another.
Senior Sister Lan Yu was physically exhausted, but fortunately, Sister Mei was by her side, so there was nothing to worry about for the time being. As for the white lotus with the attribute of a soft and cute girl, I thought that she would also gradually lose her walk like Hei Changzhi, who would have thought that this girl would not even have any signs of similarity, but the nearby Pearson began to gasp before the little idol.
Puzzled, I couldn't help but take the initiative to lean over and ask Bai Lian the reason, and then the girl replied to me like this:
"When I was an idol, the cost of a live performance was much greater than this, and I paid attention to exercising on weekdays, so this level of rushing is naturally nothing. ”
Well, you win. In addition, Pearson's kid looks like he wants to strengthen his workout no matter how you look at it, but I guess he won't listen to it even if he says it. So instead of caring about the physical fitness of a certain prick, let's take care of ourselves first - because my special meow is actually starting to gasp a little!
"If it really doesn't work, I'll let the night turn into a black dragon and carry everyone away. Emmilina glanced back at the black man, whose face was a little pale, and said worriedly, "Maybe it will become big and conspicuous, and the enemy will be able to detect us from a long distance and intercept us, but so what? If they dare to come, we can just come, we just need to run over all the way." ”
Even if I spoil Senior Sister Blue Feather in my heart, I feel that it is a little inappropriate for Emilina to do this, but Granna, who was about to persuade to lead the way to prosperity, agreed: "I think this idea is feasible, Your Royal Highness Princess, so it's better to do it." The demon's purpose is to hinder our progress and stall for time, and no matter what the effect of the opponent's magic tower is, it is certainly not complete yet. If that tower is a parallel import, then the troops responsible for guarding around it are naturally miscellaneous soldiers, and we can rush into it casually; if that tower really has a strategic level of effect, the troops in charge of guarding it must be elite, and with the defense and mobility of the night, we are not able to defeat the opponent and escape. What do you think?"
Rao, who has always been steady, couldn't help but show a look of interest when she heard this: "Well, the more the enemy doesn't want us to enter, the more we have to break in with great bravado? Sure enough, in some cases, there are advantages to hard coming, I agree. ”
Although there will be fierce battles, this will really save time and allow Blue Feather Senior Sister to rest, and even if someone is injured in the battle after recovering her strength, she can be treated quickly, so it doesn't feel bad?
"Okay, I agree. Convincing myself, I raised my hand closely.
Pearson, who had already begun to have weak legs, naturally agreed, and Sister Mei raised her hand in favor on the spot when she looked at Hei Changzhi's panting appearance, so the proposal was approved in a few moments.
The huge black dragon showed her mighty body on the wide plains, and the ground vibrated violently with the slightest stroke of her limbs, and the thunder and lightning flashed from the sky from time to time, making it look even more terrifying. But it doesn't matter, it's not a wild dragon, it's a domestic no-that can be easily done with a cheap lollipop, so no matter how much she poses, I don't have the slightest fluctuation in my heart, and I even want to touch her head a little.
In the end, the big dog named Wangcai was not able to set foot on the dragon's back, because Tsuiya said nothing, and the proud dragon clan committed the same problem again. In desperation, Grana had no choice but to let the dog return to the fort on his own, but it looked like Saliya was relieved by this.
Overall, after a lot of tossing, we're finally back on the road. This time, with the little black dragon walking, the whole person immediately felt much more relaxed, and even the oncoming wind became cool and pleasant. It's just a pity that there are no good views nearby, and you need to be nervous and vigilant against the enemy's sneak attack, but there is nothing to appreciate.
We will choose to use a black dragon to force the way open, obviously beyond the demon's expectations, after all, it stands to reason that if we want to test the strength of our opponent when the situation is unknown, we will definitely be cautious and careful to take precautions, how can we casually go straight forward and assault? They will arrange an ambush near the fortress to make us more cautious when advancing, and at the same time reduce our speed, it will naturally delay time.
But, what about a good step at a time, why did it suddenly become a long-term drive!?
So within a hundred meters, I saw (because the condescending view was farther) out of the grass on the right side of the panic, a group of low-level monsters put on a posture to try to stop the night, but the little black dragon ignored them at all, trampled the ground rumbling and ran out directly.
To be reasonable, the speed of the night is not slow, but she is not flying in the air after all, and those miscellaneous soldiers are originally the arms that emphasize mobility ability, so the chase battle is inevitable.
"Prepare for long-range attacks. Emmilina said loudly as she walked in the direction of the dragon's tail, where a group of fangs and claws were chasing after a group of fangs and claws more than twenty meters behind, "They may not hurt the night, but jumping on the back of the dragon can pose a threat to us." Zhou Yi, it's time for you to behave. ”
"Okay, I'll see if they're miscellaneous soldiers or elite disguised as miscellaneous soldiers. The girl named herself tried to stand firm on the slightly swaying dragon's back, walked to her side, and half-crouched down and said, "If it's an elite, then I'm going to trouble you." ”
"It's not going to be elite at this distance, you don't need to worry, just concentrate on killing them. ”
Now that everyone had said so, I stopped saying a word and quickly took out the Blood Curse Soul Carving Strike from my bracelet.
After a few seconds, I decisively regretted it. (To be continued.) )
