Chapter 9 Fishing in Troubled Waters
The battlefield is as silent as death.
I don't know since what moment the fascist Western Expeditionary Corps had given up constantly harassing Xilin Island. Near Xilin Island, except for the occasional vulture rider who rises into the air, it is quiet.
For a whole day, the proud sun slowly crossed the sky from the east and gradually submerged in the clouds of the west, and the wide leaves unique to the tropical rainforest stretched lushly, and it was impossible to see that this was still a battlefield that was about to erupt.
Out of sight of Xilin Island, Dahaino and the headquarters had all moved to the back of a gentle hill on the south bank of the Shishi River, which the locals simply called the "Slipa Pit", and the main reason for calling it a pit was because there was a large pit left behind the lime kiln behind the hillside. At 102 meters above sea level, the relative elevation of the hillside is the highest in the vicinity.
As soon as the headquarters was stationed, a series of orders came out from here, and at the same time, the 4 thousand-man teams that had docked quietly entered their respective positions along the mountain with the 3 thousand-strong teams that had already gone ashore in the early stage.
Although the most incomprehensible thing for orc soldiers is strategy, at this time everyone also knew that they were in ambush, preparing to attack a mercenary group on a small island and make them lose more than 600 soldiers. It was even learned that this mercenary group was one of only 5 A-level mercenary groups in the pan-continent.
Along with the transfer order, there is also a reward order for each hundred-man team:
Anyone who captures any of Amy, Daqingshan, Chi Aotian, and Horns alive will be rewarded with 10,000 gold coins, and the official title of Viscount will be given the title of "Warrior of God"; whoever kills any of Amy, Daqingshan, Chi Aotian, and Horns will be rewarded with 5,000 gold coins, and the official baron will be awarded the title of "Invincible Warrior".
In the fascist continent, the titles of baron, viscount, count and other titles have just emerged in the last 10 years, and most of the low-ranking officers and soldiers do not understand the many benefits of this title. What can 10,000 gold coins do, but everyone knows? I also know that the title of "Warrior of God" has only been obtained by 9 people in the past 100 years, and these nine orcs have become legends in the history of the fascist continent, and they are idols that every soldier can hope to worship and worship.
The title, the heavy reward, and the supreme reputation of the brave, through the low whispers among the soldiers and the eyes that pretended not to care, quickly swept through every corner of the entire Western Expeditionary Corps like an undercurrent under the sea, and the battle intent was accumulating little by little.
On the eighth night of Xilin Island, a small fleet quietly launched from the north shore of Xilin Island, each with about 10 soldiers on board, and the long sword was folded under the night sè to shine brightly. The sea has already begun to rise, and you can clearly feel the rush from the sea when you sit on the boat.
Each soldier pressed his sword to his knees, his hands chimed short oars, and with the regular movement of his low trumpets, more than 20 small boats quickly rushed to the other side of the river......
Suddenly, a loud voice sounded in the river: "There is an ambush on the other side, retreat quickly-" The body of a dwarf stood up from the boat, all the boats turned in a panic, and the sound of paddling sounded, and from the trees on the opposite bank, dozens of small boats quickly pushed out, and followed and chased up.
Except for one small boat, the others quickly docked, 50 meters, 30 meters, 20 meters...... The small boats of the fascist continent quickly approached and landed on the small boats at the rear. Suddenly, a dwarf stood up in the boat, and Lan Sè's tomahawk was lifted from under the cabin, and after a loud roar, the tomahawk came out of his hand and pulled out Blue Sè Thunderbolt on the river, spinning and struck the nearest boat. The huge heads of the two half-orc soldiers were cut off in unison, and the blood rushed to the sky, and the corpses stood for a moment and fell into the water. The Tomahawk Thunderbolt swirled at a strange angle and fell into the hands of the dwarf, and then threw it again, several werewolf soldiers hoping to resist it with their small shields and long swords, and the huge momentum immediately turned the obstacle into unusable waste, and more corpses fell into the river.
When the blue tomahawk pierced the night for the third time, all the fascist soldiers struggled to slide the boat towards the north bank of the Lion River, and some were forced to jump into the water.
The sides of the Lion River were calm again, as if nothing had happened.
On the 9th night, the boat on Xilin Island rowed out again, but this time it was from the south shore of the island, quietly bypassing half of the island, going up the river for about 1,000 meters, and then slowly leaning towards the north bank of the Lion River, getting closer and closer to the shore, a swordsman stood up, and the same shout sounded: "There is an ambush on the other side, retreat quickly-"
The small fleet of mercenaries rushed down the river, and more and more boats on the other side of the Lion River pushed out, and the fastest rowing one flanked from downstream. Getting closer and closer, 500 meters, 450 meters, 400 meters...... "put!" After a loud roar, more than 50 grassland jīng spirits stood on the boat of the small mercenary group at the front, and at a distance of 400 meters, even the grassland jīng spirits could not use the technique of flat shè, and in the dark, a rain of arrows shè fell towards Yunxiao. The speed of the ship combined with the speed of the arrow suddenly shortened the distance between the ships, and the small boats at the front of the fascist continent were quickly covered, and dozens of centaurs and werewolf soldiers were hit by the rain of arrows falling in mid-air. The centaur soldiers on the opposite side also sent out a rain of arrows, but the extremely fast speed of the small mercenary group caused the arrows to fall behind the boats that went down the river.
The centaur archer quickly adjusted the coordinates, and the second rain of arrows rushed into the sky, and with the chanting of different tones and different contents, the earth shield of yellow sè, the sacred shield of white sè, and the dark shield of dark red sè...... Opened on different boats, some of them appeared at the same time with protective shields of the known genus xìng. The few magic swordsmen of the small mercenary group consumed the least amount of magic and released layers of magical protection.
After the rain of arrows fell, it lost its power in the rebound of the magic shield and fell into the water.
At the same time, at a distance of 300 meters, the steppe jīng spirit had already begun to adopt the flat shè, and the sharp carving feathers were accustomed to the bodies of the fascist soldiers, and after four rounds of arrow rain, the outflanking boats could no longer see the standing soldiers.
"Fuck, give it to me!" A sturdy figure scurried up on the north bank of the Lion River, it was Merlin, the captain of the Orcs.
Norton and Merlin are two very unusual representatives of the wild, fierce, or more accurately, barbaric uniform style of the generals of the fascist legions, Merlin is known as a Confucian general, which has a lot to do with his origins. Merlin's father was the patriarch of a small tribe of orcs with extremely gentle conduct, and through a hundred years of communication with humans, the power of the orcs and the cunning of humans were perfectly combined, and this small tribe became a force to be reckoned with on the east coast of the fascist continent. In order to create a greater foundation for his children, Merlin's father specially hired scholars who were said to have been exiled from a royal family in the continent of Eminole as the children of the tribal nobles, and Merlin was one of the scholars' most proud protégés.
The First Orc Brigade led by Merlin is also a group with outstanding achievements in all battles and military exercises on the Fascist Continent. In all battles, Merlin's troops were like his temper: a pool of autumn water. No matter how the huge pressure is, it can be easily resolved.
Even a Confucian general like Merlin, when he saw a one-sided slaughter, being toyed with by hundreds of opponents on the island who were not at all in the same order of magnitude, could not help but speak foully, but he did not know how his teacher, who was said to be a sage, would behave when he heard these three-character scriptures.
More boats were pushed out of the shore, and the soldiers of the small mercenary group did not pay any attention to their performance, and the boat quickly approached the shore, and the figure disappeared into the reeds on the shore.
Someone scolded the mother, of course, some people were secretly laughing, the famous four people of the small mercenary group were secretly lying on the bank at this time watching the story of what happened in the river, listening to a loud roar from the other side - what was even more interesting was that it was human language, several people looked at each other and almost laughed. Amy half-crouched up, patted the dirt on her body, and motioned for everyone to go back.
The corner of Amy's eyes suddenly flickered, and a huge slap fell with the sound of the wind, and the great swordsman's agile reaction was immediately reflected, and his head was lowered The ice blade popped out of the scabbard, and Amy was just about to resist, when an invisible magical shockwave appeared under her buttocks, and Amy folded her head into the water on the shore.
Daqingshan, Chi Aotian, and Horns still haven't figured out what happened, Jin Sè's lightning fell from the sky, and dozens of them surrounded each other, Chi Aotian and Horns were immediately paralyzed, and a silver sè ring on Daqingshan's left hand conjured up a blue sè light, resisting all the lightning, and the silver sè's "Xinghan" long sword sheathed out, and 10,000 silver stars were scattered all over the place-"Don't attack-" Amy got up from the water in a hurry, and almost choked on a mouthful of water: "Ahem...... Cough...... It's the master. ”
A figure gradually appeared in the night, with unkempt signature hair, a dark dry face, a flowing magic robe, and a staff containing infinite magical power, and the corners of the mouths and eyes of the four people who were extremely familiar were full of teasing for the apprentice, and His Excellency the Magister licked his dry lips and raised the question in his heart: "Apprentice, how do you know that it is me?"
"Alas, teacher, how easy is this question to answer, how many mages are there on the entire continent now? Not from the mages, who can release magic so quickly? Your letter also said that you are coming, just now I wondered where the smell of the thousand grass leaves bubbled wine ...... from" Amy shook her head with a wry smile, looking like she regretted that she had died after the queen mother realized it.
"I really need to teach you a good lesson!" the old magician unceremoniously slapped everyone on the back of the neck, "they were all dumplings and laughing here, and you, who escaped my lightning with the ring stolen from the green dog's hole, do you think I don't know that you are secretly proud in your heart." Daqingshan, who was glad that he had not enjoyed the electrotherapy, was particularly lucky to receive a heavy head massage, and the person who said this had completely forgotten who had cheated the ring from the lovely and ignorant Lu'er.
Ying was already asleep, Amy pulled everyone to the house in Daqingshan, and when the dazed Lu'er saw the old magician, she was first startled, and then came up with false enthusiasm, satisfying the old mage's vanity with her tongue full of saliva. After sitting down, Amy, Da Qingshan, Horns, Chi Aotian and others knew the seriousness of the situation.
In the early summer of the 4th year of the magic calendar, an earth-shattering event occurred in the magic world of the Pan Continent, and the Ice Begging Tower located in the Frozen Continent came out with 12 mages in one breath at the same time. Among the 12 magisters, 4 were originally the former court archmages of the Amy Empire, 2 were the original archmages of the Holy Court, 1 was the former court archmages of the Theseus Empire, and the other 5 magisters either originally entered the Beggar Tower as zìyóu, or the original country had disappeared in the past few hundred years.
The 4 Magisters who originally belonged to the Amy Empire returned to the Amy Empire Wizards Association 8 days ago, and the entire Amy Empire national buildings were shaken, and the Redstone Emperor was demoted to the Wizards Association to visit the 4 Magisters in person. According to the four Magisters, the key reason for successfully passing the trial from the Begging Tower this time is that there is a person in the Begging Tower who does not know any magic at all-Ryker. Hubble.
Lake. Haber has been living in the Begging Tower for several years, and has gradually found a way to enter the enchantment of the great magicians, and he found that the higher the ability of the magician, the smaller the enchantment and the slower the activity, and only such an enchantment can allow him to enter safely, so in the latest operation, he entered the enchantment of 13 **divisions in one fell swoop, except for one **division's ability has indeed not reached the critical state of breaking the tower, the other 12**divisions have all successfully docked their enchantments with the enchantment of the begging tower.
The four Magisters of the Amy Empire still have a very deep affection for the Empire, and under the persuasion of the Redstone Emperor, they all stayed in Dìdū in the honor of the Imperial National Teacher.
"Ah~oh~ Master, I finally understand why you want to hurt me, it turns out that my father released them, and you immediately lost your place in front of the Redstone Emperor and fell out of favor, right-" Amy muttered quietly, watching the old magician's reaction out of the corner of her eye.
Reg seemed to be lost in thought, his eyes glazed back to the northwest - the farthest point in that direction was the Tower of Ice Beggar, and he was muttering to Amy, or rather to himself, "It's really strange, why do I ask them privately about dark magic, and they don't know?"
Amy and Da Qingshan looked at each other for a moment, and recalled the first time they saw Regor summon the "Dark Dragon Landa", which was known as a battlefield nightmare, at this time they already knew that this terrifying magic only existed in the dark magic handed down by the ancient demons, and it was the fifth-order magic among them. It seems that the teacher still hides a lot of things deep in his heart.
"Master—" Amy took the old magician's hand and pulled him back from his thoughts. The old mage's next muffled words moved everyone: "The current Xilin Island is as dangerous as a firecracker placed by the fire, and any tiny spark will wipe out your entire army. ”
