Chapter 39: Luke's Thieves
Ace Continent, Sophia Kingdom, Aden City, Southern Suburbs.
The surroundings are very quiet, the people of the Iron Blood Mercenary Group are holding their breath and squatting in the grass around them, this is very critical, if the sneak attack is not successful, then this operation is considered a failure, failure means casualties, this is the result that everyone does not want to see, and Mu Qing does not want to see it.
In the shadows, a figure appeared, it was Xiao Ai dressed in black.
"Commander, the thieves are already about three kilometers away from us, and it is expected to arrive in about ten minutes." Xiao Ai said softly to Mu Qing.
"Prepare for battle." Mu Qing reminded the mercenaries behind him.
All the people lay on the grass, controlled all their breathing, extended their breathing rate, controlled the sound of breathing, and then everyone untied their swords from their waists and grasped them in their hands, ready to attack at any time.
Because of his tall stature, Tie Ta hid behind a tree in the distance, like a leopard ready to attack, Mu Qing gave Lan Ke a look in front of him, indicating that he was ready.
Lan Ke hid behind a stone, half-squatted on the ground, clenched the wand in his hand, and then increased the output of mental power, controlling the arrangement of magic elements, and the surrounding magic elements were arranged in accordance with Lan Ke's guidance, although maintaining this state consumed a lot of magic power, but there was no way, if you don't prepare in advance, the other party will have reaction time, and there is only one chance.
Tata Tower...
Mu Qing heard the sound in the distance, knowing that the thief group was already approaching, Mu Qing's eyes signaled to the brothers in the back, everyone breathed longer, controlled their bodies, and remained motionless, this is the quality of mercenaries, and at this moment there was a tense atmosphere before the battle.
"Big brother, we have gained a lot this time, and those hundreds of boxes of materials are enough for more than 100 of us for more than a year." A thief leader flattered Luke.
"This time, the second brother is mainly the most credited, not one of his red lotus fireworks, those second- and third-level swordsmen may not have suffered heavy casualties, and we didn't destroy each other so quickly." Luke said to the little leader, but his eyes were on the magician in the carriage.
"Big brother is polite." There was a lazy sound in the carriage, and then the magician in the carriage always felt that something was wrong, and through the perception of mental power, the surrounding magic elements were also very calm, and there seemed to be no change, what went wrong.
"Big brother, pay attention to the surrounding environment, we still have to be careful." The thief mage reminded him anyway, after all, it was a bad feeling.
"Okay." Luke is also cautious, and only prudence can live long.
Luke thought for a moment and said, "One group goes first, pay attention to the surrounding environment. "Luke stretched the line and sent a group of men to explore the way, so it shouldn't be a big problem.
Mu Qing frowned when he saw that the thieves group had divided into an advance team, but there was no way to do it now, I didn't expect to search here.
The pathfinder was not careful, so he looked around, and threw stones everywhere in the grass and surrounding bushes, and some stones fell on the mercenary's body, and the iron-blooded man's eyes did not blink and silently.
At this time, the magician in the carriage also looked around, closed his eyes and felt the surroundings, feeling that the magic elements around him were still very calm, there should be no magicians around, and after the battle just now, the consumption was also large, so he temporarily let go of the uneasiness in his heart.
The advance team had already passed through the place where the iron blood was ambushed, and Mu Qing still did not give the order, because Mu Qing's target was the regiment commander and the magician who were riding on the horse.
Lan Ke looked at the slowly approaching thief group and the carriage behind, the carriage should be the intermediate magician, he is estimated to be discovered by the magician in the carriage when he chants the spell, it is better to wait a little closer before releasing it, although it is more dangerous, but it is more certain.
Thirty meters.
Twenty meters.
Mu Qing turned around and winked at Lan Ke, indicating that he could do it.
Lan Ke estimated the distance, immediately closed his eyes and chanted directly: "Ice Elf, please give me the power to freeze the evil in front of me-Cryomy." ”
A dark blue light shot directly at the leader of the thieves on the horse.
"Up." Mu Qing rushed forward first, and the tower followed closely behind.
"Not good, there are magicians, protection." The magician in the carriage felt the fury of the surrounding magic elements, no wonder he had been feeling a little wrong just now, it turned out that the surrounding water elements were basically gone, and this was a premeditated ambush.
It was too late for Luke to hear the warning, and the chill in the distance had already made his whole body explode, so he hurriedly mobilized the fighting spirit of the dantian to form a protective shield and carry it first.
The cold air directly passed through the weak protective shield and froze Luke directly, and Luke's blood stopped flowing all over his body.
Luke hurriedly used the fighting energy of the dantian to run his whole body, and a stream of heat quickly disintegrated the ice and dissipated.
At this time, the chilling sword qi had already stabbed Luke in the chest, and another punch hit Luke's back.
A mouthful of blood spurted out, and Luke was seriously injured, and at this time, the cold air also dissipated with the blessing of the fighting spirit.
"Ice Sword? Ice mage? Who are you? Luke clutched his chest and gasped.
"Iron Mercenary Regiment." Mu Qing then attacked quickly, not giving Luke a chance to breathe at all, because he knew the terrifying nature of the third-level Dou Master.
"Level two?" Luke chuckled, "The second-level ordinary professional still wants to kill me?" ”
Mu Qing ignored it, and killed more quickly, and after a while, the kung fu left a scar on Luke's body, although it was a skin injury, but it also angered Luke.
Luke used part of his fighting spirit to protect the wound on his chest and prevent the wound from getting worse, and the other part of his strength directly counterattacked Mu Qing.
And the rest of the Iron Blood Mercenary Group also fought bravely under the leadership of Tie Xiong, because everyone was equipped with the Ice Sword, and in a short time, dozens of people were killed, and the ground was covered with corpses covered in cold air.
"So many ice swords? Enchanter? Promoted to Magician? The middle-level magician in the carriage looked around, not in a hurry at all, by this time he had already taken out his wand and looked at Lanko condescendingly.
Lan Ke didn't pay attention to him at all, he had already completed the arrangement of the magic elements, and directly began to chant: "The omnipotent water spirit, with water as a bow and qi as an arrow, bear the power of my will, and cut through the void of the distant sky - water arrows." ”
"Junior magician? Looking for death. The intermediate mage directly released a shield and easily blocked the water arrow.
Lanko then chanted, "O Ice Elf, please give me the power to freeze the evil in front of me, the Cryo Technique. ”
"Cryomy?" The intermediate mage felt the violent cold and hurriedly chanted: "Passionate flame spirit, please borrow my power, the element of fire, under the spirit of fire to transform into an invincible flame-fire." ”
This is a fire-based level 2 monomer magic, and the consumption of intermediate magicians is relatively large, and there is no way to release large magic, so they can only use this to attack.
The freezing technique penetrated directly, and the icy cold air hit the thin magician, and the magician suddenly shivered.
Lan Ke felt his mana consumption, and if he continued to consume his mana like this, it would dry up sooner or later, and Mu Qing in the distance didn't seem to be as smooth as they imagined, although they hit Luke hard, but after all, he was a third-level fighter, and from time to time the sword qi easily made Mu Qing and Tie Ta scarred.
"Need help?" Xiao Ai appeared in the shadow of the tree next to Lanke.
Lan Ke's eyes lit up, the other party hadn't found Xiao Ai yet, Xiao Ai was a second-level assassin, and it seemed that he had a chance.
"I'll give you a second, can you kill the other person?" Lanko gritted his teeth and said.
"Yes." After saying that, Xiao Ai retreated into the shadows, and the person was gone.
