Act Seven: The People Who Are Always Late (1)

The reinforcements brought by Suval seem to have arrived nearby as he was constructing Moonlight, and the outbursts that followed were tantamount to urging them to speed up. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 Info saw a whole group of heavily armed soldiers rushing in this direction, and the wounded enemy also wisely chose to retreat.

If it was when the attacker was still unscathed and lurking in the dark, he was certainly not afraid to fight these soldiers, and he was even confident that he could use his proud stealth spell to assassinate these soldiers one by one. However, he spent a lot of energy and spell casting materials in the fight with Flick, and was hit by the young scribe with moonlight because of his carelessness, so it was not wise to provoke a war again.

So he turned and ran, first stepping on a nearby wooden box, and then leaping onto the beam. Despite many injuries to his upper body and a broken bone in one hand, he managed to escape through the window above the warehouse, leaving everyone with only the distant back.

Good news is sometimes late, but even late is better than never—these are the words of a well-known merchant in the medieval Free Metropolitan Republic when he saw what he thought had been sunk finally returning to port with its cargo after four months of overdue.

It is said that he was in bankruptcy due to poor management, but the return of the sailboat full of valuable cargo saved him from the worst outcome. So the words of the "belated cargo ship" and the merchant were included in the books and became a story that people talked about.

But he was not the businessman with a lot of debts, and if he could, he would have hoped that the reinforcements would have arrived sooner - such words kept lingering in Frick's stomach, but they could not be spit out of his mouth until the end.

After all, from his standpoint, it was obviously not appropriate to say such things at this time—if they hadn't arrived, he might have been killed by the enemy by now. With that guy's ability to escape, even if you want to take his head "by the way", it probably won't be a difficult thing.

At least Frick was in a real state of inability to move at the time, and although the magic expended when casting the magic book was almost entirely with the help of the box in his hand, it was no joke to force his body to move like a marionette. Thanks to these belated reinforcements, he can now lie on a stretcher and look up at the night sky...... Although the pain that pervades the body shows no signs of abating.

While briefly treating him, one of the soldiers, for some reason, suddenly asked Frick about his battle with the enemy. He asks Frick in a "kind" tone, hoping that he can explain why the neighborhood has become a mess.

The street was littered with knives and scraps of paper, and the warehouse at the end of the road was bombarded with massive spells. As defenders, since they did not catch the wounded enemy, they could only ask the survivors of the battle about the battle.

In fact, although Frick was able to determine that the enemy was a high-level mage, he barely used energy-based spells to destroy it. However, of course, he could not honestly admit that the miserable state of the warehouse was caused by his counterattack against the enemy, so he had to find a way to come up with an "appropriate" explanation.

And so the story goes - he was ordered by Sir Leinster to rush to his destination, only to be ambushed by the enemy nearby. In the process of escaping, he found that the attacker could not only make the figure disappear, but also skillfully use sword skills and other spells, and finally he finally escaped to the warehouse and started a decisive battle with the other party.

The devastation was caused by the battle there, with the Wizard using a barrage of destructive spells to kill him, and Flick using the Book of Illusions in addition to his defenses...... In the end, the magic of the two became entangled and caused an explosion.

As he spoke, he showed the wooden box that Sir Leinster had given him, and even though Frick had used its magic to weave the words of the Magic Book, its magic had not diminished in the slightest. The magic that pours out of it seems to be endless, and no matter how you use it, you won't run out.

Previously, he had previously spent a lot of magic by reciting "The Playwright's Dream" to weave a powerful "moonlight". Especially when you don't have a pre-prepared page on hand as a catalyst, the amount of magic required increases almost exponentially.

With the power of words, the moonlight is enough to make the warehouse a mess, and even if you give all of Flick's magic, you will never be able to achieve its effect. If it weren't for the powerful power of the thing in the box, he wouldn't dare to let it go easily.

It was only then that Frick remembered that at that time he was so focused on using the superfluous magic that he had no time to pay attention to the contents of the box. But he also had a feeling that he had better not ask Urs Lyernst what was in the box.

And the soldier who originally wanted to ask him about the specific situation also showed a slightly strange expression after seeing him take out the box. He seemed to know something about it, but he didn't tell Frick about his intentions, and apparently he didn't want to get into trouble about him.

"That's what about my side, but what about the southern front?"

Since he was no longer entangled, Frick changed the subject in time: "I didn't even notice it when I was fighting the enemy mage just now...... But now that there is a ceasefire, the enemy has either been completely annihilated, or he is no longer besieging Lemongrass, right?"

Perhaps because he had been so focused on fighting the enemy, Flick had almost completely ignored the movement in the distance. It wasn't until now that he noticed that the sound of the mechanic's bang, which had been constantly ringing, had subsided, and he could only smell the smoke and blood that the night wind had brought from the other side.

It seems that this defensive battle has come to an end, after all, if even the southern direction where the vast majority of the forces are concentrated has been broken through, then Lemongrass has probably been destroyed by the monsters. Since he is still lying on a stretcher, he can at least deny this development.

And looking at the relieved looks of these soldiers, although the pressure of this battle was greater than expected, it did not cause much loss after all. Except for the warehouse that Frick demolished, none of the buildings in the village were affected by the fighting.

"As you say, Sierra Leonean seniors. ”

Walking by the stretcher, Suval said, "While Captain Cadiz Milt was organizing the soldiers to fight back, the monster lost its organization after a certain 'voice' sounded. As for those black wolf-type monsters, they immediately retreated without the slightest hesitation. ”

Suvar was not an eyewitness to the offensive and defensive battles in the southern direction, and what he was saying now was really just the news he had compiled after listening to the soldiers' discussions. But despite this, he heard a strange sound - it is difficult to describe whether it was a flute or a trumpet.

He heard from the soldiers that after the sound sounded, only the wolf-like monsters immediately withdrew from the battle line, and the remaining remnants of the monsters that had lost their organization fell into chaos. Some of them want to run away when they see that the situation is not good, and some of them want to continue to charge, like flies without their heads.

Among the monsters that originally attacked Lemongrass, there were not many monsters that could pose a real threat to the village, except for those black "giant wolves". And after the "giant wolves" left, the monsters that remained in the defense line were undoubtedly fired more intensively by the bullets.

At this time, these monsters were completely different from the initial impression, and the fierce momentum they had when they advanced against the fire of the mechanics was completely gone. In the confusion, they were so clumsy to flee, leaving corpses in their wakes in the constant fire of the mechanics.

In the end, less than two or three out of ten monsters were able to escape from the pile of corpses, and the stinking blood of the monsters mixed into the night wind and spread throughout Lemongrass. Presumably, this village will be infected with this unpleasant smell for a long time to come.

According to the data, most of the monsters that are active in the forests near Lemongrass are mutated by the influence of abnormal magic. Of course, their blood is undoubtedly full of twisted magic, and although it can be used as alchemical material, it will only cause pollution if left unchecked.

The story of making the land fertile with a lot of blood and corpses is basically only a joke or a satire, and the reality of a large number of corpses piling up will only produce a plague or something worse. To restore this barren village to its original state, I am afraid that more manpower will be needed than in the defense war.

Although he did not succeed in leaving the attackers who infiltrated Lemongrass, the fact that someone was manipulating the monsters behind the scenes could be seen from the anomalous phenomena of the monsters. With these people as witnesses, Sir Leinster should have been able to manipulate the direction of intelligence.

There is more than one group of wizards targeting Lemongrass, and the Raven Society led by Urs Leinster is one of them. It is assumed that this battle was probably the result of a wrestling between various forces, but it was Sir Leinster who won in the end.

"Don't think about it so much......"

After that, the future of Lemongrass was none of Frick's business - perhaps Sir Leinster would squeeze as much value as he could, but in any case, he could only feel tired from the bottom of his heart. There had never been a time when he was so dissatisfied that he hadn't fainted, and even if he wanted to take a nap, his aching head kept him awake.
