Chapter 171: The Power of a Magician (Part I)

Saleen in just an hour. An ice castle was built. Inside the smooth exterior walls of the castle are sparkling magical patterns. The only downside to these patterns is that they are only effective for a short period of time, probably only lasting less than a month. Khazarin won't stay here for a month at all,

If the situation is indeed irreversible, he can only exit the swamp of chaos. If the Dark Mage wasn't too strong, he would have to go to the ruins of the Second Dynasty to see what was going on.

Anyway, the black mage's ability to fly is not as good as that of the elemental mage, and Zola is right, at least he can escape.

Before Salin came to the Swamp of Chaos, he was looking for the Holy See's magicians, some of whom flew very fast, and this was his real threat.

In the distant hills, more and more snowmen are rising from the snow, some of them only slightly in the shape of a person, and some of them have eyebrows that are vivid. The closer you get to the humanoid, the more agile and fast you are. In an hour, tens of thousands of snowmen had gathered in the hilly area, and the obviously higher level of them began to pay attention to the pirates who were building the city here.

The snowman had no weapons on his hands, but nails made from ice crystals. Razor-sharp. Unlike the original scarecrows, most of these snowmen have vivid eyes on their faces, and they can also turn their eyes.

In the wilderness in the distance, the sound of horses' hooves gradually became clear, and a cavalry team of more than 400 people appeared on the snow, and to the north of the ice castle, the headless horseman finally appeared. When the two-headed eagle was killed, the black mage was shocked and furious, and sent more than four hundred headless horsemen at once.

Thankfully, the fortifications were built with snow and ice!

When Saleen saw the Headless Horseman in the distance, he felt a chill in his heart. With three kings here, he can't die, let alone fly. It's just that none of these pirates around me will be spared.

The pirates didn't care at first, and by the time the snowmen on the hills in the distance had assembled and the Headless Horsemen were in sight, most of the pirates' faces had turned whiter than the snow.

Next to the headless horseman's steed hung the knight's own head, its face distorted and full of pain. Inside the skull, it was as if a heart-rending sound came from inside a closed container.

Every minute of the existence of the Headless Horseman is spent in pain, and this pain stimulates the power of the Headless Horseman, even if he was just an ordinary swordsman in his lifetime, after being refined into a Headless Horseman, he will become a swordsman-like existence.

Woo......

The headless horseman's neck cavity made a whimpering sound, and more than four hundred knights rushed towards the ice castle, wielding various chilling weapons in their hands.

The Headless Horseman in the front row wields a giant battle axe. And the Meteor Hammer. Such a weapon was originally intended for the strong men of the army to break the city.

"Crossbow, prepare!" Salin's voice was unusually cold, causing the pirates to shudder. These outlaws immediately came to their senses, fearing that when they were at sea, they were not begging for a living with their heads in their hands. These monsters in front of him are no more terrifying than magicians. Thinking of the three great magicians around them, the pirates regained their courage.

Zola and the four Warcraft swordsmen protected Salin and Aini, and Daniel blocked the pre-set gate with Pisius, the area of the ice castle was too small to be garrisoned for a long time, and the team had to move quickly after the enemy's strength was destroyed to a certain extent.

The Headless Horseman is incredibly fast, surpassing most human cavalry in the charging phase. They accelerated from a mile away, and by the time they approached the Ice Castle, their speed had reached more than sixty miles. The headless horseman's war horse is also a dead thing at all, and he doesn't care about telling the collision, these more than four hundred knights rushed up, just like an ancient magic chariot, unstoppable.

Buzz, buzz......

The chains of the Meteor Hammer made a trembling sound, slicing through the air. The hammer at the end streaked a dark phantom in the air. More than forty pirates were all on the north side of the Ice Castle, aiming their steel crossbows at the headless horsemen who rushed over.

The walls of the castle were no more than four meters high, and the pirates were not even condescending to stand on them. The bolts were fired almost flat, sparsely hitting a dozen headless horsemen.

Sharpened, the alchemical iron arrow with a tearing effect pierced through the Headless Horseman's armor, tearing a huge wound on the Headless Horseman's body. If these targets are human, no matter how strong a person is, he will not be able to continue fighting. But these headless knights only made a muddy whistling sound in their necks, and cooperated with each other, quickly changing the cavalry formation, allowing the wounded knight to carry more iron arrows in front.

This tactic also does not exist in human armies, where the wounded are withdrawn and left to be dealt with by magicians or magicians. How could there be a fierce soldier like the Headless Horseman, who could continue to fight after being shot by an alchemy iron arrow.

The pirates gritted their teeth and replaced them with spears, the walls of this castle were too low for the Headless Horseman's weapons to be thrown directly, and the huge meteor hammer could smash people and armor to pieces as long as it hit. The pirates wore light metal composite armor lined with cotton clothing, which made them more agile in their actions and reduced their defensive power a lot.

Salin stood calmly at the head of the wall, on the left was tens of thousands of snowmen, slowly moving over, it would not take more than ten minutes, the ice castle would be completely surrounded, and on the right was the headless horseman who had rushed to a distance of two hundred meters, and the heads and eyebrows of the people next to the saddle of the war horse were clearly distinguishable.

The pirates' steel crossbow attacks were fruitless. The momentum suddenly weakened. Unbeknownst to them, the Headless Horseman didn't have much of a weak point, and their steel crossbow wasn't the kind of expensive alchemy arrow, which did very little damage to the puppet. Unless it's a very low-level thing like a black golem, it will have a noticeable effect.

If you can shoot the knight's head, the damage to the headless horseman will be greater, but unfortunately the pirates' archery skills can't be compared to Zola's, and their steel crossbows are not alchemy crossbows, they don't have so much power and accuracy.

It seems that Liwei is needed......

Salin sighed in his heart, he had prepared a series of magic. Headless horsemen are not human after all, they charge faster than cavalry, and they are not afraid of being hurt by their own strength. However, their speed and route were very well calculated, and Saleen could easily calculate the time required for the magic to intercept.

A warrior who has not changed will become very vulnerable in front of a mage. I think that when Salin was still a first-level magician, he gathered the people around him to kill the two headless horsemen. Now that he is a fifth-level magician, his combat power has increased by more than a hundred times, and of course he will not be afraid of the cavalry team that only has a headless horseman.

There were dark and heavy clouds and mist condensed in the sky, and Salin performed the cloud walking technique, but instead of flying, he let the black clouds and mist with a width of 100 meters be suspended in the air, and in the clouds, countless ice picks condensed and formed, and smashed down from the clouds and mist the moment the Headless Horseman arrived.

Rumble!

The three headless horsemen in the front row were completely smashed into ice slag by this superimposed magic. A large pit with a diameter of more than twenty meters appeared on the ground, and the bottom of the pit was the flesh and blood of the Headless Horseman. Something else was wriggling in the flesh. If the Dark Mage is present at this time, the three Headless Horsemen will be repaired.

But the body of the black mage is a hundred times more fragile than the elemental mage, and they do not dare to follow the headless horseman, at most they hide behind the abomination dragon beast and command the battle.

The pirates were immediately thrilled by Saleen's magical blow, and they only needed a powerful captain to dare to rob the warship. Now that Saleen has shown great combat effectiveness, the pirates are back in the driver's seat.

This is the difference between pirates and the regular army, which is accustomed to the orders of the commander, and as soon as the commander speaks, the soldiers will carry it out in an orderly manner. The pirates have too many emotions at hand to control the battle. The impact on the battle was too great. Salin couldn't train these outlaws for months.

Aini stood beside Saleen and didn't make a move. His necromancy is highly targeted, even when the Headless Horseman is in close combat. He also knew that his ability to recover his combat power was not as fast as Salin's, so let Salin withstand the first wave, and then carry out the second blow himself, Saleen would soon be able to recover and form three rounds of magic strikes.

After these three intensive attacks, the combat effectiveness of the two men was almost depleted. The Headless Horseman's charge is quickly stopped. If the Headless Horseman was allowed to rush to the Ice Castle, with the strength of the Headless Horseman's puppet war horses, the wall more than four meters high would not be able to stop the war horses from jumping at all.

This is also where the Headless Horseman is strong, before the Dark Mage wreaked havoc, the walls of many small cities were relatively low, and it was not until the Dark Mage swept half the continent that the cities of all countries began to grow in size. Even in a small city like Ceylon City, the walls are more than ten meters high.

An ordinary castle should have a perimeter wall at least eight meters high. Saleen was in a hurry, and the walls of the Ice Castle were only more than four meters high, which would definitely not be able to stop the Headless Horseman. Let the Headless Horseman jump in and you'll be bloodied by the pirate.

Salin's attack was not over yet, in front of him, the magic light shone brightly, and the huge ice bomb condensed into a round ball with a diameter of one and a half meters, **** out. The pirates cheered as they saw the ice bomb vaporize and fall into the ranks of the Headless Horseman, already burning and exploding violently.

This is an attack that Saleen is more familiar with, so familiar that it can be controlled with little mental power.

The freezing effect in water magic can effectively stop the Headless Horseman's attack speed, but without the help of a warrior, it is impossible to completely kill the Headless Horseman, so Salin casts a mutation spell with the effect of fire magic.

Ice projectile fragments burst into the Headless Horsemann's body with flames, burning within the body. The terrible sound was heard far away in the wilderness, and even the puppets were in agony under the burning of the magic flames.

Immediately afterward, Salin did not continue to waste the magic strings. The continuous secondary and secondary casts didn't consume him too much, but when the magic strings were really consumed, there were more than 10,000 snowmen, and it would take a lot of time to stand there and attack at will.

Salin patted the gourd on his waist, and more than six meters of turquoise water flew out and circled in front of his body.
