Chapter 120: The Magician's Combat Power
Harding took off his blindfold, and his blue eyes allowed him to see everything within a hundred yards in the dark of night, including the sky, and as it stands, the situation would be dire. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
"What's that!" Someone saw several huge 'bats' flying through the air, and the golden-eyed eagle hovering in the sky was half killed by these monsters in a matter of breaths.
Someone recognized it, "Holy, that's the Batwing Demon!"
'Boom', a skull-sized fireball flew up from the ground, heading straight for the batwing demon in the sky, the demon's speed was fast, but the speed of the fireball was faster, the two pursued for a while, the batwing demon was hit, and then a blazing fireball ignited in the air.
"That's ...... Magic!"
"There's a magician stationed here!"
“......”
"Watch your eyes! If you let the demons rush into the supply convoy, I'll screw your heads off and use them as a night pot. Second Lieutenant Tatya roared.
"Yes, sir!" everyone immediately perked up and focused their attention on their surroundings.
A middle-aged man in a magic robe was standing on a platform in the middle of the sentry post, and beside him were two heavily armed knights, armed with bright silver knights, guarding the magician's sides.
"%&*¥*" The middle-aged magician whispered a spell in his mouth, his eyes glowed with flames, and his hands rubbed back and forth, and soon a skull-sized blazing fireball was formed, and then his hands were pushed into the air, and the blazing fireball rose into the air.
A locked batwing demon saw that something was wrong, and frantically shook its wings, and actually escaped the range of the fireball, but in the next moment, the magician waved his arms, and the fireball turned sharply and smashed into the other batwing demon.
'Boom', a scorching ball of fire exploded again, and the next breath turned the demon to ashes.
In terms of overall strength, the batwing demons are on par with the soul snatchers, but they are as fragile as flies and mosquitoes under the attack of the magician, which shows that the strength of the magician is indeed beyond doubt.
The several bat-winged demons circling in the sky, three of them were burned to ashes in less than half a minute, and the remaining five or six hovered in the air for a moment, and then launched an air attack from six directions, their speed was very fast, and they fell sharply from mid-air, and the target was the white-robed mage standing on the platform.
"Protect the magician!" someone exclaimed.
Anyone could see that something was wrong, and a series of gunshots and the 'buzzing' of crossbow arrows rang out all around, but the effect was so bad that not a single bullet or bolt hit the demon. At this time, apart from the two guard knights beside the magician, they couldn't help anything.
At that moment, a fireball the size of a basin rose, and the batwing demons had no intention of dodging, they still rushed down, apparently destined to die with the magician.
"%&*" After a series of spells, the blazing fireballs suddenly split apart, each shooting towards their target.
The next moment, less than five yards away from the magician, six flames exploded, and the demon's plan to end up was frustrated.
"The mage really wants to blow up the sky!" Payne was so stunned that he blurted out fluent Mandarin without even realizing it. Fortunately, no one noticed him at this time, and everyone's eyes fell on the mage and the six flames above his head.
Since Penn came to this strange world, he has never envied anyone, or he has no regrets, but after he saw this scene, his heart changed drastically.
Why don't I have a great talent for magic!
While Payne was shouting in his heart, he was also fantasizing about what it would be like if the person standing on the platform was himself. ――Maybe I'll blow up everything in the sky. He thought, but it's okay, but he is also an unawakened person, and when the magic in his body is awakened and he becomes a demon hunter, it is estimated that he will not be much worse than a magician.
There were five other people present who had this idea in Payne, of course, they were the five colonel-level officers who participated in this orange mission, unlike Payne, they were only a wall away from the Awakened, and beyond the walls of the northern fortress, they could fulfill the wish that countless people had dreamed of.
Of course, the risks are also enormous, for example, in the last ten years, not a single member of the Southern Mercenary Regiment has completed this orange mission alive, the most recent being Major General Wissard Bradley, who joined the Mercenary Command fourteen years ago.
The Northern Mercenary Regiment is no better, and no one has completed this task in the last ten years, but fortunately, two people survived, unlike the Southern Mercenary Regiment, which did not even have a single chance to live.
And there are only two people in the headquarters, they are the same batch, and only two of them completed the task and survived that time, and they are currently lieutenant generals of the mercenary headquarters.
This information was all told to Payne by Bailey.
When Bailey learns from Acrylic that Payne almost had a fight with Gaunt, he goes to Payne and tells him everything he can say. Of course, this also includes the contradictions between the mercenary groups of the South and the North.
Payne wasn't interested in any of these things, but he understood what Bailey meant—there was no need to deal with a man who had little hope of surviving, it was completely unnecessary.
But on the other hand, Payne was a little confused, knowing that he was going to die, why did Bailey go?
And the other party's answer made him speechless, [If you don't go this time, maybe you won't have another chance in the future.] 】
It turned out that after this time, the headquarters decided to allocate the quota of the mercenary group in the south to the north, and the former was changed from once every two years to once every ten years, how many changes will there be in this decade, and how many talented newcomers Bailey will appear I don't know, he only knows that this is his only and last chance.
Payne seemed to see some vague information in Bailey's eyes, but the other party was very strict, and he couldn't ask, he knew that Bailey could only say what he could.
......
After dealing with the threat from the sky, the mage sat down on the spot, seemingly recovering his mana. The two guard knights were highly vigilant by the magician's side, not to mention the demons, not even their own people wanted to get close to half a minute, and no one was allowed to step on this magic platform with a diameter of nine yards and a height of three inches. -- Violators will be killed.
From the time the alarm was raised to the time when the batwing demon was completely annihilated, it didn't even take five minutes. During this period, the demons did not launch a threatening attack except for the air raids, and the small group of demons just tried to get close to the outpost before they were completely wiped out by the alliance forces.
However, no one dared to be careless at this time, and it was very likely that the demon's attack was only tentative, which was their usual trick. And some experienced veterans judged that after destroying the demon's scout forces so quickly, they would most of the time choose to retreat.
Another five minutes passed, and the demon still didn't move.
