Chapter 196: The Battle of Irion [2]
Putting on their gear and putting valuables such as gold coins in the safe and hiding them, Watson and Viola walked out of the door and knocked on the door of Locke's house one by one, only to find that they didn't seem to have returned, and no one answered after several knocks in a row. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
They did have their own ongoing mission in the past two days, and it was normal that they didn't come back, Watson wanted to act with them, and it was still useful to have a small team that could be trusted in the chaotic battle, but now that they were not there, there was no way, so he and Viola were together.
However, after seeing the situation in the Irion City, they are expected to rush to the Central City to participate in the battle immediately, and it will not be too late to contact them at that time.
Watson is still confident in Locke's strength, although the situation is still unclear, but their safety should not be worried, all they have to do is to rush to the vicinity of the Mage Guild as soon as possible to get more information about the current situation.
The other party should have some ulterior purpose in placing the activation location of the circle next to the Mage Guild, and what Watson had to do was to cooperate with the professionals in Central to stop those people from achieving their goals.
Now that the Mage Guild has sent a message for help to other top guilds, the major guilds will generally give support to show their support for the Mage Guild, and do their best to expel these monsters, after all, Erion is a high city, and most of the professional guilds here are also relatively important regional strongholds.
If there is a mistake here, it will be a big blow to the future development and operation of the major guilds, which is a situation that the major guilds of Erion do not want to see.
The location of the Mage Guild is probably located in the middle of the Central City, unlike other professional guilds that are mostly built on the same street, this group of wealthy people in the Mage Guild always likes to build their guilds in some better locations in order to show their noble status in order to attract those nobles who come to visit.
This is most likely one of the reasons why the location of the attack was next to their guild, and it took a lot of time for reinforcements from other guilds to get to this side quickly.
In the face of the attack that has erupted, the first to resist is naturally the mage guild closest to the pillar of light, these underground forces will be next to their guild next to the magic circle is tantamount to a provocation to them, riding dumplings and constantly approaching the location of the mage guild Watson soon felt a variety of powerful spell energy fluctuations.
As mentioned before, if you want to put a list of major guilds that are not easy to mess with, the Mage Guild will definitely be able to enter the top three, and once this group of mages who can be called humanoid turrets is provoked, the power that bursts out is absolutely terrifying.
The compound large-range magic circle is constantly activated, and thunderstorms and ice storms have continuously appeared in the sky, and it is estimated that these mages also want to destroy the pillar of light before the monster army is formed, after all, once the number of monsters breaks through a certain limit, even if they are successfully repelled in the end, the mage guild will undoubtedly suffer great losses.
However, the real crisis had just arrived, and just when Watson arrived two or three blocks away from the Mage Guild, he suddenly felt a sluggish feeling come to his mind, and subconsciously thought that someone was ambushing him and attacking him with spells such as mental shock.
But when he tried to mobilize dark energy for defense, an accident appeared, and the dark energy barrier that could have been easily condensed took two or three times longer to condense this time, and the thickness was much thinner than normal, and the mobilization of energy seemed to be like some kind of shackle.
"Oops...... It's not going to be ......"
Thinking of a possibility, Watson immediately raised his head to remove the dark energy barrier that had been condensed on his body, and looked up in the direction of the Mage Guild.
Sure enough, at this moment, a faint halo has surrounded a large area centered on the Mage Guild in the middle, although the block on Watson's side is not among them, it is already quite close, under the induction of spiritual power, the originally active elemental energy around him has become a little sluggish, as if it has lost its vitality.
A wide range of elemental sluggishness spells, some monsters or demons unique to talent spells, this ability can be said to be inherently prepared to limit mages, as long as the ability is activated, all elemental energy within a certain range will be difficult to mobilize.
Even the use of basic elemental energy such as ordinary manipulation and shield formation is quite difficult, let alone the complex outline of the circle and the casting of a wide range of spells.
No wonder they set the location next to the Mage Guild, this is to completely solve their worries! The mages in the Elemental Retardation Realm can be said to be completely ineffective except for those mages of the Magus level or above whose spiritual power is strong enough to forcibly mobilize elemental energy.
With a large number of monster armies fighting with physical strength, they are going to completely defeat the Mage Guild! Once a large number of Magi are killed, then the Mage Guild, which has always been difficult to replenish with fresh blood, will completely lose its combat effectiveness in a short period of time, even if there are archmages such as Magus remaining, all they can do is to protect the Mage Guild from being attacked, and it is almost impossible to attack again to fight against the monsters summoned by these underground forces.
This move is estimated to be a long-planned action of the attacker who launched this attack, and at the moment when the Elemental Retardation Domain expanded, the huge spell bombardment momentum on the Mage Guild's side can be said to have dissipated most of it directly, after all, it is impossible for the Mage Guild to have a group of magicians and archmages stationed in it every day.
The real backbone combat power is still a large number of mages, and now that they are limited by this spell, there is a huge crisis in the mage guild in an instant.
"Watson, are we going to rush in again......? It's not optimistic!"
Viola, who was also aware of the difficulty in condensing the energy of the thunder element, looked at Watson and asked.
At this time, Watson was trying to summon his guardian totem, and a huge amount of dark energy still appeared behind him, it seems that the spell of the elemental sluggishness cannot affect the totem's forcible condensation of the surrounding dark energy, this kind of ability that belongs to the priest level can still be used, which is the biggest confidence for Watson, as long as the guardian totem can still be condensed, then he still guarantees most of his combat effectiveness.
"We're going in, don't go now, the Mage Guild is likely to be hit hard, once these mages are defeated, the battle will be very difficult in the future, a huge number of monsters will easily wreak havoc in the Central City, we melee professionals are not good at large-scale attacks, if we want to clear these monsters, we have to rely on the large-scale attack ability of these mages in the future......"
This is something that can't be helped, if you want to carry out a large-scale clean-up activity, mages are almost indispensable combat power, their large-scale attack spells are very necessary, and now if you give them up because of the critical situation, the battle will be even more difficult in the future, so the mage guild must rescue as soon as possible.
It's not just Watson who thinks so, in the time that he and Viola stopped, a large number of professionals and government troops have begun to approach the Mage Guild, especially the largest number of government troops, almost truckloads of support there.
Compared to the professionals who can retreat at any time, Irion is the stronghold of the Flanders family, and if others can't beat them, they can run away, they definitely can't! Once they lose control of Erien, the Freish family will lose the capital to maintain the family! The Mage Guild's request for help made the Flanders family leaders attach great importance to it.
In this case, the importance of a large number of mages is undoubted, so even if they abandon some places, they resolutely begin to mobilize a large number of soldiers to rush to support as quickly as possible.
Riding on the dumplings and continuing on the road, the sound of the battle broke out more and more frequently, among which the gunfire was the loudest, thinking that the government soldiers had been in contact with the enemy, and firearms were the main force of their fighting, so they were naturally frequently used.
It's just that the three gray-white pillars of light in the distance are still standing in the night sky, and it looks like they will continue for a while.
Rushing to a place where there was still a block left from the Mage Guild, Watson finally saw a large number of monsters confronting the government soldiers, most of which looked much different from the monsters in the Jondar Forest, and they were also different, and Watson could even recognize some of them.
Because they are within the range of the spells of the Elemental Slowness, these monsters can't use their own talent spells, and they purely rely on their huge bodies to charge towards a large number of soldiers, but this time the Flanders family has obviously made a bloody investment to ensure the safety of the Irion City.
Watson noticed that a large part of these soldiers were holding guns made with hedron technology, and the bullets fired by this kind of guns would carry a layer of hedron energy, plus the bullets themselves were large-caliber blasting bullets, and the success rate of armor piercing was quite high.
Under the dense bullets, the charge of these monsters didn't seem to have much effect, except for leaving a few bloody corpses behind, there was not much success, but Watson knew that it was those soldiers who were in a hurry now, and they didn't come here to fight positional warfare!
There is no point in killing time here, the space where the pillar of light communicates will continue to summon monsters, and there are still people from the Mage Guild who need to be rescued a block away! When the high-level mages over there are exhausted of their mental power, huge casualties will be inevitable, all they have to do is to rush in before this situation arises, assist the mages to withstand the pressure and wait for the opportunity to counterattack.
