Chapter Eighty-Five: The Real War
When the black shadow pounced, Lin Lei had already subconsciously felt that the enemy in front of him must be what the wind ghost said, the six-bearded demon dwarf, none of the existing first- or second-level magic could pose a fatal threat to it, as long as the opponent did not die with a single blow, the one who died must be himself.
Between the lightning and flint, Lin Lei's mind was chaotic, and it seemed to be blank, but he unconsciously sketched a third-level magic in his hand that he had only learned in books, but had never actually practiced - Hellfire Roar.
Lin Lei stretched out one hand horizontally, aiming at the demon dwarf who rushed down, his palm instantly turned red, and a red and blackened fire element appeared through his palm, and after shooting out for just half a meter, it exploded in the earth-shattering loud noise, forming an erupting fire mass with a strong shock wave, and swept away in front of him.
In terms of direct lethality, the Inferno Roar is only slightly higher than the fireball, but the key role of this magic is to form a physical shock wave of directional explosion in front of it, knocking opponents close to it into the air, and opening up a safe distance for the subsequent magic release.
As for how much damage the opponent who was knocked away, it depends on luck, if you are unlucky enough to crash into the sea of swords, it is equivalent to a one-hit kill, if you are lucky enough to fall into the water, it is equivalent to a fireball spell at most.
The demon dwarf was obviously unlucky, and his volley body hit the Hellfire Roar flashpoint, which was the distance at which the shockwave was most intense, and his short body seemed to hit a spring, and after pausing in the air for a few milliseconds, it shot into the tree behind him like a rocket on its buttocks.
The muffled sound of impact, the click of broken bones, followed the afterglow of the roar of the inferno, catapulted on the trunk of the tree, and smashed into the trap set by Lin Lei with the blessing of the god of fire before, and the blessing of the god of fire that exploded was blown out again, and smashed into the pursuit team of the demon dwarves who had just rushed through the wall of fire and followed.
For a while, "people turned over on their backs", and the miserable screams were endless.
The skin of the demon dwarf is naturally excellent in magic defense, but whether it is the shock wave or the strong collision with the tree trunk, it is the nature of physical attack, it is the nemesis of the demon dwarf, Lin Lei, who turned around and ran, glanced at it in his busy schedule, half of that guy's head was smashed into the neck, needless to say, he couldn't die anymore.
casually put a few more walls of fire at a specific location, Lin Lei endured the pain, pulled out the wooden arrow on his waist, covered the wound, and ran towards the direction of the meeting point.
There were several shocking explosions behind him, and needless to say, those demon dwarves who thought they were clever and chased around the wall of fire had already detonated the remaining blessings of the god of fire.
But Lin Lei didn't look back. Now there may be an army of demon dwarves in the entire forest, and it doesn't make a difference if you kill a few more or a few less, and the most important thing is to escape and evacuate to the fortress quickly.
On the way back, there was no trace of the demon dwarf, Lin Lei quickly caught up with the two water gods who were running and waiting, and after the three of them converged, they ran to the meeting point as fast as possible.
In order to gain time, the three of them ventured to run up the mine road, and soon arrived at the meeting point when the wind system demon source was fully equipped, and Johnnedy and the rest of the people, one by one, were already waiting there with gloomy faces.
Lin Lei's eyes swept over, including himself, there were only 12 people present, and except for Johnnedy, all of them were injured and physically and mentally exhausted, and at a glance, they knew that most of the magic power was empty.
The nurse was also emaciated, but she still put her hands together and helped her companions treat their wounds one by one.
The most seriously injured is the Thunderbird, a fourth-level thunder magician, almost half of the outside of his right upper arm, although under the nourishment of life magic, the wound has formed a thin blood scab, but Bai Sensen's bones are still exposed, and he is enduring the pain and bandaging himself.
Seeing Lin Lei and the three of them appear, Johnnedy seemed to be relieved, and after helping to support the wind ghost, he looked back and forth on the road, and said in a deep voice: "The demon dwarf is planning to attack our southern region, Feng Yu is the fastest, I have asked him to go to the fortress to report the news, and now the earth dragon has not returned, let's wait a while, if it ......"
Speaking of which, Johnnedy didn't say any more, but everyone understood what he didn't say, if he waited until everyone's wounds were cleaned up and the earth dragon hadn't come back, he might never come back, and Johnnedy, as the leader of the team, couldn't have waited meaninglessly for someone to put the whole team in danger.
"You guys go first, I'll stay and wait for a while, and recover my magic power by the way......" The water god sat down, and said softly while changing the equipment with new magic crystals: "The earth dragon is slow, but it is good at drilling holes, even if it can't be beaten, in the environment of the mountains and forests, it is not easy to kill him with those demon dwarves."
I can't easily leave my teammates behind unless I'm sure he's dead. Boss, you take them away first, I'll just find a water source to hide, restore my magic, and don't come out for ten days and half a month, it's not so easy for those ugly monsters to find me.
Since the demon dwarves are going to attack our southern regions, their subsequent movements will also be investigated, you leave one person on the top of Xilian Mountain, and I will use the flame signal to contact you at that time. Don't be afraid that I won't be able to get out, the river here is connected to the Xilian Mountains, and I can leave here by following the river. ”
Johnnedy patted the water god on the shoulder, didn't say anything, and when he turned around, he said indifferently: "Whether you can come back or not, in the future, the Pattinson family will also be my Johnned's family." ”
The full name of the water god is Edward Pattinson, the second in line to the throne of the Pattinson family, however, the Pattinson family is in the Southern Regions, belonging to an insignificant medium family, and it is not the same level as the three major families, otherwise, Edward would not have come to follow Johnnedy.
The water god seemed to be speaking lightly, but everyone present knew that if the demon dwarves really wanted to attack the Southern Regions, then the demon dwarf army that appeared now was only the vanguard of the reconnaissance, and there would definitely be a large army in the future.
At that time, the entire forest will become the base camp of the demon dwarves, and there will be no troll dwarves with more than twenty-four beards, and there will be no room for human activities at all.
"Boss, we still have three mining areas, don't you want to inform them to evacuate quickly?"
The one who spoke was the most seriously injured Thunderbird, who, like Johnnedy, was a member of the Bruce family.
Johnnedy shook his head and said gloomily: "No need, not to mention our three mining areas, the entire Southern Regions Magic Rune Forest, there will be no mining areas now, I'm afraid that before we arrive, all the family's mining areas will be finished."
We didn't run into a single minecart or mercenary along the way, so I should have known something was wrong, but we ignored it, thinking we just didn't run into it.
From today onwards, for a long time, there will be no magic crystals for us to use in the Magic Rune Forest, the magic crystals in the southern region will be very scarce in the future, the three major families, all rely on these magic crystal mines to make a fortune, and the southern region family in the future may have to be reshuffled. ”
"Boss, why are the demon dwarves attacking us? Aren't they even able to fight with the Western Regions, and what good is it for them to invade the Southern Regions?"
"Hah......" Johnnedy smiled bitterly, "If I can understand this problem, can I still get to this situation? Don't talk about you and me, I'm afraid Wilhelm the Great wants to know why." ”
Shaking his head, Johnnedy stopped discussing the issue, and instructed the person who had bandaged the wound to replace the equipment with a new magic crystal - the next may not be a demon dwarf, and only by keeping the magic crystal energy full can he better deal with emergencies.
Lin Lei's wound had almost recovered, and the others didn't even know that he was injured, and after carefully replacing it with a spare magic crystal, he stood silently aside.
Just as they were about to set off, there was the sound of hurried footsteps in the distance, and everyone was beaming with joy and their eyes were all gathered to the front—judging from the footsteps, there was only one person coming, and there was no one else except the earth dragon.
"No......" Johnnedy's face changed first.
Before Johnnedy could continue, a thin figure ran from the mine road almost without touching his feet, and before he could reach him, he panted and shouted: "Boss, it's not good, the road leading to the fortress outside is full of demon dwarves, at least thirty or forty thousand troops."
I climbed to the top and looked, they came out of the edge of the forest, and now the army hasn't fully come out, there are a lot of troll dwarves, and now, I'm afraid, they've already started, attacking the fortress......"
Everyone's faces changed drastically, they looked at each other, and they were all so shocked that they couldn't speak.
The Southern Regions have not found a single demon dwarf in a hundred years, let alone tens of thousands of troops and troll dwarves, this can only be a real war, and when all the humans in the Southern Regions are unprepared, the demon dwarves launched a large-scale sneak attack.
The Magic Eye Fortress is now an empty shelf, and the garrison of less than a thousand troops, not to mention whether they can fight if they are all prepared by the nobles who are doing business, even if they are all elites, they are not even satisfied with the city walls.
As for the rest of the people in the fortress, they were all businessmen, and the entire MONOCULUS Fortress couldn't even find a great magician, and just one troll dwarf was enough to slaughter the MONOCULUS Fortress.
