Chapter 149: The Frightened Red Dragon (Continue the Five Watches, the First Watch Asks for Subscription)
"Don't worry, the odds of those rocks hitting me won't even be 1 in 10,000. What's more, the location and distance are just right. ”
Without hesitation, Zuo Si rejected the soldier's offer to retreat.
For the place where he stood at his feet was just enough to cover most of the area of engagement.
According to the LV5 brigade mage level, it can almost absorb most of the magic energy and life energy generated by killing monsters.
Nothing makes Zuo Si feel happier and happier than looking at the value of the mana pool that keeps beating and rising.
In order to minimize the casualties of the defenders, and also to deter the red dragon that is constantly circling overhead, by the way, more spell cards are in the "graveyard".
He turned on the "Spell Bombardment" mode directly at the enemies swarming under the walls.
In less than half a minute, various control and crowd-lethal spells such as [Greasy Technique], [Spider Web Technique], [Fireball Technique], [Stinky Cloud Technique], [Burning Hand], [Colorful Spray], and [Scorching Ray] rained down on the monsters' heads.
The already menacing attack suddenly stalled.
After all, after the ladder was covered with the grease produced by the [Greasy Technique], not to mention grabbing and climbing up the city wall, even those who climbed halfway would fall down due to slippery hands and feet.
As for the [Cobweb] of the second ring and the [Stinky Cloud Technique] of the third ring, not to mention.
Often, as long as it is spread out under the city walls, it immediately creates an impassable forbidden area.
Sticky cobwebs will entangle the target, while stinky clouds will cause the smeller to vomit and faint on the spot.
The soldiers on the walls can even calmly stoned incapacitated monsters to death by shooting, throwing stones and logs.
And the magic energy and life energy emitted by these monsters after they were killed were absorbed by Zuo Si using the increasingly powerful "spark" power, forming a perfect closed loop.
If it weren't for the limited number of magic cards at hand, he could even have lasted until the last monster died.
And that's not all!
While frantically using the cards, Zuo Si did not forget to raise his head and look at Bertogas with provocative eyes.
If this prime-aged male red dragon dares to lower his height, or swoop down to attack.
Then he will immediately activate the hole card [Spell Disaster], and then summon [Large Stone Elemental] and [Large Fierce Leopard] to besiege and kill this "backstabber" in front of everyone.
But unfortunately, Bertogas saw that Zuo Si had released so many spells in such a short period of time, and immediately raised his vigilance by 120,000 points.
Not only did he not plan to lower the height, but he also abandoned his previous plan to burn the flank walls with dragon breath.
He was not the "rookie" of Vermes who had just come of age and had not yet experienced how powerful and terrifying high-level spellcasters were.
While traveling around Waterdeep in the north, Bertogas was once ambushed by an LV15 mage.
If he hadn't run fast at that time, he would have been disemboweled, turned into various precious materials such as dragon blood, dragon skin, and dragon bones.
Even the "big baby" on the lower body had to be cut off, and the genetic material that was still active in it was extracted to create a half-dragon creature with red dragon blood. …
Since then, Bertogas has always been hiding from a spellcaster again.
By releasing the spell without chanting a spell or casting any spells, he concluded that Zuo Si had used a super-magical technique—an instantaneous spell.
This technique allows the caster to throw the prepared spell into the enemy's face in an instant, without giving the opponent any chance to dodge or counter.
As for the cost, it is natural that you need to use a higher-level spell slot to memorize the original low-level spells.
To put it simply, it is "ascending ring".
Take the Three Rings [Fireball Technique] as an example.
Without using any supermagic skills, only one three-ring spell slot is needed to complete the memory.
However, if you use the super magic technique - Spell Instant, then you have to increase four levels and use a seven-ring spell slot to memorize.
And a mage with a seven-ring spell must also have at least LV13.
What's more, there were not just one or two instantaneous three-ring spells that Zuo Si had released just now, but at least five or six.
In Bertogas's eyes, this is at least a high-level mage of LV15 or even LV17.
Maybe he still has the magic of the Eight Rings or even the Nine Rings.
Coupled with Zuo Si's provocative eyes, he felt more and more that this might be a trap for himself, so he didn't dare to act rashly.
In fact, it wasn't just Bertogas who was bluffed by the Left-Side's mage card system, but also the owner of Myratma's only mage tower.
The old mage, who was about to sink half of his body into the ground, was already speechless in shock, completely unable to believe what he saw with his eyes.
"Guide...... Mentor. That guy used a supermagic technique - the spell was instantaneous, right? One of the apprentices stammered.
The old mage nodded subconsciously: "That's right. I can't believe that he actually used the high-ring spell slot to memorize the three-ring magic like [Fireball Technique] and [Stinky Cloud Technique]. ”
"A mage with at least LV15! No wonder they have sworn that this crisis will be resolved. But doesn't he look a little too young, too? Could it be the metal dragon of the good camp, or some other immortal race? ”
Another assistant voiced his guess.
By the time most humans are around ten years old, it is difficult for them to learn the complexities and dangers of magic, let alone become a powerful spellcaster.
Under normal circumstances, the academy and the Mage Tower usually only admit young boys and girls between the ages of twelve and fourteen who are relatively precocious and calm.
"Maybe. It seems that when the crisis is resolved, I should find an opportunity to talk to him privately. It would be great if you could trade to get some knowledge, spells, and magic items. The old mage's eyes flashed with intense longing.
In his opinion, since Zuo Si had such a high level of spell casting, and mastered advanced supermagic skills such as "Spell Instantaneous", he must have come from various regions where magic was extremely developed.
Maybe there's a powerful spellcaster organization behind him.
After all, in the eyes of most spellcasters in the Faren Continent, without chanting spells or making spell casting movements when casting spells, only the super magic technique, spell instantaneous, can do it.
But no one knew that Zuo Si was not using the magic net spell casting system at all, and he had never relied on the mage profession that he had only recently obtained.
In his mind, the Traveling Mage's card system was much more powerful than the Mage class, which relied heavily on the magic web.
The latter is largely just a tool for learning the principles of magic and making cards.
Thinking that he could take out four fireball cards with [Spell Strength] + [Spell Extreme] and smash them in the enemy's face in the future, he could directly cremate them on the spot with the corpse until only the ashes remained, Zuo Si's heart was full of anticipation.
In this way, with the red dragon Bertogas not daring to participate in the attack easily, the first wave of the monsters' tentative attack lasted less than an hour and a half before it ended.
More than two thousand goblins were killed in battle.
Orcs, gnolls, and bear goblins also died more than a thousand in total.
On the defensive side, less than sixty men were killed, and seven or eight were unlucky enough to die from the "Brownian motion stones" thrown at the catapults on the opposite side.
Most of the rest are just injuries.
Because there are enough priests, after a little treatment, it's like no one.
Under the total suppression of the strong walls and magic and divine magic, Myratma won an undoubted total victory.
In particular, the civilians who were temporarily conscripted also learned valuable experience through this battle, and their psychological qualities were tempered and strengthened, and they were no longer afraid of the huge number of enemies.
