Chapter 143: Shock and Awe (Fifth Update)
"Damn! We are exposed! ”
"Quick! Come on! Don't stop! ”
"That's right! Before those monsters catch up, run as far as you can. ”
"Warriors! All the warriors are coming to me! ”
"Don't be stupid! It's too late! We simply don't have time to organize scattered people! ”
……
Nervous shouts arose, and all the fleeing captives became terrified.
They managed to escape, and they didn't want to go back to that terrible hell anyway.
Coupled with the extreme visibility of the surrounding environment, the crowd, which was originally quite orderly, immediately fell into chaos.
Some people stepped forward to gather those who were capable of fighting with their prestige and bravery, and bought time for the old and weak women and children in the ranks to flee to Myratma;
Some people just want to escape for their lives, so they directly leave the large army and run wildly towards the city gate with their legs open;
There are also "little clever ghosts" who feel that following everyone is too conspicuous and easy to be caught up by monsters, so they secretly turn around, planning to hide in the woods first, or jump directly into the river and plan to swim to the other side.
In short, under the crisis, life is vividly reflected.
Seeing such a scene, Jahira and Khalid were already dumbfounded.
They didn't know how to deal with this completely out of control situation, and they could only watch everyone swarm around.
Fortunately, countless torches were lit on the walls of Myratma, otherwise countless people would have lost their way and run away.
"I ...... What do we do now? Khalid asked in a tone of uncertainty.
Jahira shook her head with a wry smile: "Don't ask me, I don't know." But perhaps all we can do now is buy them a little time. ”
The voice has not fallen!
There was a sudden slight tremor on the ground.
Moments later, a group of orcs on horseback rushed out of the camp.
You don't have to ask!
The guys formed a cavalry from the stolen horses.
If they were allowed to rush over, the fleeing captives would be slaughtered.
And the Myratma side will not allow the closed gates to be opened in such a dangerous situation.
What to do?
Khalid, Jahira, and the warriors who had stepped forward from the captives were stunned.
Because in this completely open terrain, no infantry can withstand the onslaught of these heavy war horses that are a specialty of the Tassel Kingdom.
In fact, powerful horses and knights were the cornerstones of feudal rule in the country.
But now, after being snatched by the orcs, these heavy war horses have become the deadliest threat in turn.
Although there were not many horses, perhaps only two or three hundred, they were by no means something that a rabble could bear.
What's more, behind the orc cavalry, there are countless gnolls, goblins, trolls, half-giants, snake people, and lizardmen.
At this critical moment!
Zuo Si's short figure suddenly appeared in the path of the orc cavalry charge.
Before the others could react, he activated the [Greasy Technique], [Spider Web Technique], and [Stinky Cloud Technique] stored in the storage ring in his hand. …
Moment!
Large oil stains mixed with sticky, tough cobwebs and a pungent foul-smelling cloud covered a large area in front of them.
The orc cavalry that rushed to the front didn't have time to slow down or detour, so they rushed straight in.
Due to the severe lack of friction between the horse's hooves and the ground due to the influence of the greasy technique, all the unlucky eggs who rushed in were without exception slipped under the feet of the mounts, and fell heavily to the ground with the men and horses, entangled with those sticky cobwebs.
Followed by the pungent yellow-green foul-smelling gas directly down the respiratory tract and body, all the people and horses who smelled it began to vomit.
In serious cases, he even fainted on the spot, and was trampled and hit to death by other cavalry who rushed in behind him.
The originally vigorous and thunderous cavalry charge turned into a disaster.
Of course, this is not the most serious.
Under the cover of the [Stinky Cloud Technique], the Shadow Legion struck again and launched a merciless massacre against the orcs who had almost lost their ability to resist.
By the time the magic had dissipated, the Legion of Shadows had vanished into the shadows.
Jahira, Khalid and the others saw only corpses everywhere and heavy warhorses that broke their legs and screamed incessantly.
Some of them rushed more violently, and they were less than five meters away from where Zuo Si was standing.
But he didn't have the slightest nervousness or panic, as if he didn't pay attention to these charging orc cavalry at all.
And with the experience of these corpses on the ground, the monsters behind them also became hesitant and did not dare to approach easily.
Because in the face of powerful magical powers, these wild tribes living in the mountains, forests and swamps are actually full of fear of the unknown and death just like the humans living in the countryside.
Of course, this does not include the snake people who were created by the ancient "creator race" witches.
It's just that the few arcane spellcasters in this group of snakes have already been made into creature cards by Zuo Si, and now most of the rest are priests and warriors.
In addition, Vermes, the supreme commander of the monster army, flew to find the "backstabber", so for a while, there was a strange picture of a large group of monsters being shocked by a boy about ten years old.
"Who's that? Your companions? ”
A man armed with a broadsword asked Khalid beside him.
The latter shook his head at first, then nodded again, and stammered to explain: "Reluctantly...... Sort of, barely. In fact, we were all rescued by him before, just like you. ”
"Oh? So he should be a very powerful mage! The man's eyes lit up slightly.
Due to Zuo Si's sudden intervention, he directly interrupted the monsters' pursuit thoughts, and bought the most precious time for the escape of more than 2,000 captives.
If the current standoff lasted for more than ten minutes, then everyone would be able to escape through the city gate safely and into Myratma.
"Don't be stupid! He was only about ten years old and still a child. Even if you are a mage, the cast level will definitely not be too high. Those spells just now should have activated some powerful magic item. No way! We've got to help him. ”
As a druid, Jahira clearly knows more about magic than these warriors. …
I understood that Zuo Si had neither chanted a spell nor made any spell casting movements just now.
It must have been due to the use of magical items.
Otherwise, it is absolutely impossible for the three spells to take effect at the same time, but there will be a certain interval.
Just as a few people were talking, there was finally movement on the monster's side.
I saw that more than a hundred goblins were driven out by the fierce and brutal gnolls, and rushed forward in a swarm.
You don't need to ask to know that they were deliberately thrown out to test whether the diminutive human mage in front of them is still capable of casting powerful spells.
But just a second later, Zuo Si raised the [Fireball Wand] in his hand and aimed at the goblins in the charge and shot a small orange-red fireball.
Closely followed by ......
Rumble!!!!!!!
The blinding flames and explosions blew a large area of goblins into charred corpses on the spot.
The rest of them also crawled back with desperate screams, almost twice as fast as they had just charged.
After all, goblins are cowardly creatures.
It is better to expect them to be able to carry the [Fireball Technique], which is an amazingly lethal plastic energy magic attack, than to expect the old sow to be able to climb the tree.
At least the latter still has some room to operate.
But unless the former is seduced, controlled, and brainwashed by powerful spell power, as long as the death exceeds one-tenth, a good show of collapse and escape will be staged in minutes.
Even if it's followed by a group of murderous warlords, it's useless.
