Chapter 108: Dark Mage

readx;

More than two hundred old and weak coyotes, mercenaries, and servant warriors could easily defeat them, but two or three thousand fierce desert coyotes besieging from all directions were definitely not something that a dozen third-order samurai could resist. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

"You protect Lord Andrew, we are ready to break out!" Conte gritted his teeth and said, "After I stay, who wants to stay with me?"

Trapped can only be a dead end, only decisively give up the sand camel and force a breakthrough may be able to find a way to live, but the broken person is absolutely no possibility of survival, at this moment of life and death, Kante showed his professionalism as an old mercenary!

Oilelia next to her gritted her teeth, stretched the longbow in her hand to the fullest, and replaced it with a very special turquoise feather arrow, the target of which was the Golden Wolf King, who was more than two hundred meters away.

The pale green Dou Qi light shone on the bow and feather arrows, and when she let go of the bowstring, all the light instantly condensed to the tip of the arrow, igniting a dazzling flame!

The feathered arrow, which had broken free, shot out with a flash of green light and shadow, flying through the sky above the wolves at an extremely fast speed, and in an instant, the motionless Golden Wolf King was immediately followed.

Facing the flying green arrow, the Golden Wolf King grinned as if he were sneering, and a golden ball of light suddenly erupted from its mouth, which was able to block the spirit arrow shot by Olylia with all his strength, and under the collision of the two, the golden and green intertwined light suddenly bloomed on the sand, illuminating a large area of sand, like a fireflower blooming in the night sky!

With no success, Olylia's face turned a little pale, not only because of disappointment, but also because the blow just now had a considerable loss of her strength, but the strength of the Golden Wolf King obviously exceeded expectations.

Breaking through seemed to be the only option for the team, but at this moment, Han Fei suddenly felt a cold aura of death coming from behind him!

This breath seemed to be pouring out from the underworld, and the touch of his divine consciousness made people feel cold all over his body, and he suddenly turned around, only to see Master Andrew, who was standing in the center of the defensive circle, raised the staff in his hand at some point, and the black light of the spirit crystal inlaid on the head of the staff shone brightly.

His originally white face was shrouded in a layer of black gas, and there were dozens of black snake-like mist entanglements around his body, and his eyes completely turned into two bottomless holes, only a little dark purple fire was jumping in the center.

It was from him that this strong aura of death came, and at this moment he seemed to be the legendary messenger of hell from the underworld, spreading evil and fear to the world.

The two samurai, who had been guarding his side, withdrew a few meters and looked at their master with awe-inspiring eyes on their knees.

The other mercenaries were also aware of it, and they all looked back, and they couldn't help but be stunned, and someone shouted, "Dark mage..."

As a special ability profession, the classification of spirit mages far exceeds that of samurai, and the caste is not limited to the ten lines, such as some mages are good at communicating with nature, can talk to animals and even plants, some mages can release illusions to confuse enemies, and some mages can use the stars to predict the future... Among all the spirit mages, the dark mages are extremely mysterious, they are scarce in number and like to live in seclusion without being known, and the mages of the light department are natural opponents, practicing the magic power of the dark surname, it is said to be able to communicate with the souls of the deceased, summon the souls of the dead, enslave the undead creatures, and the most powerful of them can also summon demons from the abyss.

None of the hired freelance mercenaries, including Han Fei, thought that the employer they were protecting would actually be a dark mage.

In the moment when everyone was stunned, Master Andrew slammed the staff in his hand down, and the tip of the staff immediately pierced deeply into the sand, and all the black mist around his body seemed to have found a home, and poured into the ground along the body of the staff, disappearing without a trace in an instant like a long dragon sucking water.

The black fog receded, Master Andrew returned to normal, and in the face of the surprised gazes around him, he smiled slightly: "We, we don't need to retreat!"

Click!

As soon as his words fell, a cracking sound clearly entered everyone's ears, at first it was just one, but then ten, hundred, thousand, countless sounds, dense and creepy.

I saw clumps of graves appear on the sand outside the oasis, as if something was about to be rushed out of the ground, and the sound came from these small sand balls.

The real horror was still to come, and soon the shriveled bones and arms poked out of the dunes, and then the heads, bodies, and thighs, which were actually dried corpses and skeletons lurking on the ground!

Some of them were still in good armor and leather armor, some were pure skeletons, and many of them were holding tattered weapons, and they staggered out of the ground, making a clattering sound to meet the approaching wolves!

Under the moonlit night, hundreds of skeletons drilled out of the large sand, many of which appeared directly in the wolves, and as soon as they came out, they launched an attack on the coyotes next to them.

The wolves, who were advancing in an orderly manner, were shocked by the sudden appearance of the undead army, and their poor intelligence was not enough to discern what the enemy in front of them was, and only after being attacked did they start to fight back angrily, and the wolves were in chaos!

The faces of the mercenaries who witnessed this scene turned a little pale, and Orilia couldn't help but take a step back, because a dried corpse had emerged from a few meters away from her.

But the fear was only very short-lived, and everyone knew that it was Master Andrew's use of a spell to drive away the undead, and although everyone had heard it in the story and legend, it was the first time they had seen it with their own eyes.

The spirit mage who can drive so many undead skeletons is undoubtedly powerful, although the undead army he summoned is inferior to the wolves in numbers, but it is not afraid of life and death at all, tireless, the fierce battle between the two sides reached its peak in an instant, the howl of the coyote and the sound of the skeleton clicking were mixed together, making up a symphony of moonlit night horror.

The mercenaries, who had recovered from their shock, immediately joined the attack on the wolves, and they followed the skeleton forward, shooting the coyotes with their heavy crossbows, and Orilia used the power of her longbow to the extreme!

Desert coyotes fell in the sand under the double siege of skeletons and mercenaries, and it might have been much more difficult to deal with if they had used the strategy of charging and attacking at the beginning, but now the opportunity is always lost, and even if many wolves can rush through the melee, it will be difficult to resist the defense line formed by the samurai.

Woo!~ The heavy blow to his subordinates finally made the Golden Wolf King unable to continue to remain calm, and with a long howl, many desert coyotes turned around and fled with their tails between their legs, retreating like a tide.

In the blink of an eye, the wolves disappeared behind the undulating sand dunes along with the wolf king, and although the skeletons and dried corpses were far inferior to the wolves in terms of speed, they still persevered in pursuit, and soon disappeared from everyone's sight.

On the sand, hundreds of wolf corpses were left, and some seriously injured and dying coyotes let out low whimpering.

A looming crisis was finally eliminated, and the departure of the undead legion also made everyone breathe a sigh of relief, because although they relied on their help, it was not comfortable after all, these dried corpses and skeletons should be the remains of mercenaries and adventurers who have died in the desert for thousands of years, and it is always a taboo to alarm the souls of the dead.

The reputation of the dark mage in the mainland is not very good, and driving the undead is an important factor in it, and most people are reluctant to deal with them, if they know in advance that Andrew is a dark mage, the mercenaries may not be willing to take on this task.

But it is undeniable that to be able to travel with such a powerful mage, this mission is undoubtedly much safer.

Master Andrew, who had completed the spell, obviously understood everyone's feelings, and he waved the staff in his hand and said to the mercenaries: "I need to meditate to replenish mana, and those wolf corpses will be handed over to you to deal with!"

After saying that, he went back to his tent to rest, and the samurai dutifully gathered around him to protect him.

And this is also a good thing for mercenaries, generally speaking, if there is an agreement in advance, all the loot obtained on the way to the mission must belong to the employer, and the spirit beast that is killed is no exception, if there is no agreement, then these non-mission gains are usually shared, and Master Andrew is obviously a rather generous employer.

You must know that most of those coyotes were killed by the undead creatures he summoned, although the probability that a first-order coyote can dig up spirit crystals is very low, but the number of more than a thousand is objective, and it is definitely an unexpected gain.

The other mercenaries happily went to loot the loot, but Han Fei was extremely wary of this employer in his heart, and the aura of death exuded by this Andrew mage made him feel a trace of palpitations, which was definitely not just produced by cultivating the secret spiritual power.

Just now, when Kante said in desperation that he wanted to leave the broken queen and let everyone break through, Han Fei was already ready to release his Dou Qi armor and risk rushing into the wolves to try to kill the wolf king, although he hid his strength at the beginning, but he would definitely not hide it again at such a critical juncture.

Unexpectedly, it was Master Andrew who exposed his hidden strength, which made Han Fei realize that the other party was not simple, and the idea of revealing his strength was immediately extinguished.

Like Conte and the other mercenaries, Han Fei quietly began to scavenge for the loot, splitting the coyote's head with the long sword in his hand, looking for the spirit crystals that might be contained inside.
