Chapter 168: The Black-scaled Lizard Race

Zelis is a mid-level mage, although he was born in a noble family, but he belongs to the side line, fortunately, there are relatively few talented people in the same generation, and he happens to have a talent for spellcasting, although the talent is average, fortunately, the number of places in the family is enough, and he is also fortunate to enter the Gilles Academy and become a spellcaster.

While Nether has been advocating that talent isn't absolute, not all of them are born. Iolem.

Zenis didn't get promoted to the middle level until he graduated, and that's the reality of the vast majority of people at Giles College.

Being able to learn the existing magic of the Giles Academy in five years can already be said to be a genius, and on this basis, improving the magic and creating arcane arts is simply impossible in his opinion, but there is such a 'monster'.

Although the level of magic is a little scummy, but Salted Fish also has dreams, the Arcanist is his pursuit, the reputation of the City Guards is a little bad, and the heirs of the nobles rarely choose the City Guards, but the City Guards are high, only in this way can he have enough money to conduct spell experiments and deduce new magic.

Before graduating, Chase finally found a position in the city guard with the help of a little family connection, which he felt was relatively good.

Because of his status as a mage at Gilles Academy, he climbed to the position of a squad leader in just two years.

But reality is often harsher than ideal, and Severton, which has not been attacked for more than a hundred years, will enter a state of war.

As a third-rate spellcaster, he was placed in the ranks of military mages for magical assistance, and when the Kou Tao Fishman slammed a spear through his companion next to him, he suddenly found that death was so close to him.

Zelis fell to the ground in fright, and the auxiliary magic he had prepared was interrupted, and fear occupied his mind at this moment, and he was even unaware of the backlash of magic.

He trembled and forced himself to stand up and continue the fight, but his hands and feet unconsciously moved backwards.

Suddenly, Zelis's body stiffened, as if he was being targeted by something terrifying.

Zenis turned his head slightly, and through the corner of his eye, he noticed a dark shadow looming behind them.

Although the night was dim, with his powerful spiritual perception, he knew that the dark shadow's gaze was locked on him.

Warwatcher!

Suddenly, there was a 'boom', and a soldier not far away fell to the ground, with a crossbow bolt stuck in his chest, apparently the soldier was shot out of fear when he turned to flee.

The surrounding soldiers glanced at the dark shadow hidden in the shadows behind them with fear, and then drew their bows and arrows to continue the attack on the monsters outside the city.

Zelis also quickly stood up, then took a deep breath and continued to cast spells to bless the people nearby.

After a night of fighting, finally in the first rays of dawn, the Kou Tao Fishman retreated after leaving countless corpses behind, Sevington blocked the monster's attack, and the Kou Tao Monster was also killed under the city wall.

Creatures in the Dark Regions are not adapted to the sun on the surface, and sunlight will harm most creatures in the Dark Regions.

Everyone watched as the monster retreated like a tide, and the walls resounded with the enthusiastic cheers of the guards.

Joseph. Gusta also gave a rare smile, and the hardest first step was finally over.

All of Nether's elite troops have been transferred to the front line, and the defense forces that have been temporarily formed, except for some of the city defense forces, are all improvised patchwork of various family guards.

Although the city guard is also part of the army, it is under the direct jurisdiction of the noble council, and the last defensive battle of Severynton was more than a hundred years ago, and now the capital city guard has completely become a place where the heirs of the nobles have mixed qualifications, and the place to clock in and out of work is basically rotten from top to bottom, how can there be any combat effectiveness at all.

The nobles' guards are better than them, although the individual strength of the guards is stronger, but it is more about the cooperation between the squads, especially the grievances between the nobles are also a big problem.

Joseph. Gusta can bring such a group of people up, and the commander level is simply MAX.

With the first victory as a foundation, it is much easier to command later.

A soldier who sees blood can be called a warrior, and the first battle is also the one with the highest mortality rate for recruits.

Fortunately, it was a defensive battle, and with the city wall as a backing, this group of recruits could barely ensure that their morale did not collapse.

As the monsters retreated, people began to walk out of the door, cheering for the heroes who guarded them.

Although the people below began to cheer and celebrate, several high-level officials were not in a good mood.

Because of the information they received, the monsters that broke through the front line were not Kou Tao fish people and water monsters, but a group of lizard people.

As the monsters retreated, the guards began to clean up the battlefield and rearrange the traps.

While cleaning up the battlefield, several different monster corpses were also found.

Because his mental strength was exhausted, his head seemed to be cracked, and he joined the people who cleaned up the battlefield with a headache.

"This is? Black lizardmen? ”

Zenis was a little surprised.

It is a sturdy and muscular lizardman who, unlike the usual lizardmen, has black scales.

The lizardman was so large that Sayreis estimated that the monster was 9 feet tall when it stood.

In addition to his sturdy body, he also had thick scales, and if it weren't for the arrow in his eye socket, he probably wouldn't have been able to hurt him by relying on the existing arrows of the human race.

Zelis saw that there were a lot of arrows next to the lizardman that had been bounced off, and there happened to be an arrow stuck in his eye socket, which went straight into his head.

Cai Lisi could only sigh that this monster was really an unlucky bastard, if it wasn't for the arrow in the eye socket, they wouldn't have found it, except for the Kou Tao Fishman and other monsters.

Soon the black lizardman was carried to Joseph. Gusta front.

"Black-scaled lizards!"

Joseph. This monster that Gusta recognized at a glance.

Its deep sunken eye sockets and flat nose give it a skeletal appearance.

"The Blackscale Lizards are proud and fierce warriors, with a focus on heroism and personal glory."

Joseph. Gusta said lightly, "They will fight independently in an unorganized form, unless the leader can force them to cooperate for a short time, because there are some black scales that are almost imperceptible at night. ”

Although his face was flat, he couldn't help but feel a chill in his heart, and secretly a little lucky, last night they all took a defensive counterattack, even if the form was good, they all relied on the city wall to defend, and did not go out of the city to attack.

Yesterday, there was a black-scaled lizard clan waiting for an opportunity to hide nearby, and if they rushed out of the city, they might be taken advantage of the opportunity to break open the city gates.

Of course, the captains next to him also guessed, and their faces were a little ugly, and then they all looked at Joseph with admiration. Gusta.

Joseph. Gusta, on the other hand, looked up at the outside of the city, expressionless and unsure of what he was thinking.

On the other side, Born yawned and walked out of the lab.

Due to the impact of last night's battle, the magic elements within a radius of almost two or three kilometers have become a little disordered, and Born has to spend several times more than his usual mental power to maintain, and the consumption is a little too large, so he hurried out to slow down.

At this time, Lehman walked over with the latest information, "Boss, there has been!" ”

Born's eyes lit up, and he took Lehman's intelligence information, and then the corners of his mouth turned up slightly, and he said darkly, "It's calculated!" ”

"Boss, according to your orders, I paid special attention to the situation around the slave trading market, and indeed found that many people were missing."

Lehman said with a serious expression, "Our people found blood stains when they infiltrated the house, but the people inside disappeared for no reason, judging from the blood stains left at the scene, they should have died on the spot, and then they were dragged away." ”
