The pace of the procession began to slow down, and the mountaineers gave up their attacks, and together with Caterina they defended the few men in the center.

Leon followed behind, constantly blocking the throwing weapons that were thrown at him, while the long sword in his left hand swung out continuously, severing the bodies of one undead doll after another.

These dwarf creatures are roughly as strong as the rotting wolves in the wolf's snare forest, or slightly taller than the rotting wolves, and are supposedly not much of a threat to people. However, they have a certain amount of intelligence, since the first two attacks on the ground failed miserably, and since then they have never launched a large-scale attack directly, but have turned to the trees to harass them by long-range attacks or sneak attacks, which is quite cunning, and they can also use the ability of the rampaging boar to attack, which makes Leon feel quite troublesome.

But no matter what, to make sure that Erin can advance to the ranks, the gap between one archmage and two archmages is not as simple as one plus one.

At this time, dozens of undead dolls had already climbed directly above them, and Leon immediately prompted the rangers to concentrate their attacks, and as soon as he said this, a rather dense group of hand axes flew down towards the crowd.

Cheney and the rangers immediately put away their weapons and hid behind the shields raised by the mountain people, and Leon and the others tried to clear most of the hand axes, leaving only a dozen embedded in the shields

"How many shields are left?" asked Leon.

Caterina immediately replied, "Fifteen!"

"It's fast enough...... Leon remembered that there were more than fifty shields at the beginning, and after these battles, less than a third was left, which was only enough for the mountain people to change again. It seems that in the future, the purchase of equipment must not be cheap.

After a wave of attacks, the two rangers dodged out and launched an equally dense counterattack. The undead doll was rolled down from the canopy by long arrows through its body.

Leon took the time to observe the map of the battlefield, and there were still more than a hundred undead dolls scattered around them, and there were more than one farther away, and it was unknown where they came from in the Black Forest, and why they would attack at the expense of their lives. Could it be that this large area is their territory?

It was at this moment that the voice of the little unicorn came to his mind.

"Why are you slowing down?" its voice was a little anxious, "get out of there quickly." They're getting more and more! And there's a couple of weird stuff in there!"

This time, Leon was no longer surprised by the unicorn's sudden appearance, but asked directly, "What strange thing?"

"It's a bit like them, but it's not...... I—I can't tell!"

Such a description was too simplistic, and Leon couldn't understand what the other party was talking about. And even if you ask, you probably won't be able to smell any useful information.

The little unicorn hurriedly said again, "Ah. They've passed from me!

"Something happened to one of my companions, and in order to protect her, I can only maintain this speed for the time being," although the other party was just a cowardly unicorn soul, Leon still told the truth.

“...... To protect ...... Protection," the little unicorn repeated the words, muttering, "How do I feel that your words are a little familiar......"

Leon's heart moved, "Yes." When you are with your mother, she is always protecting you. Isn't that right?"

"Yes, yes...... I was ...... at that time."

The young man interrupted the other man's memories and said, "Don't always think about the past, if you continue like this, even if you do meet your mother again, she will be very disappointed." ”

"Think about it, your mother may have been looking for you for a long time, and she will encounter a lot of dangers, maybe she will want your help, but you are afraid of these things now, do you think you can do it?"

Since the little unicorn has been immersed in the past and can't extricate itself, and Leon can't get it to muster up the courage after many attempts, it is better to try it the other way around, maybe it can stimulate its feelings and make it wake up.

And now that he is being attacked by the undead doll, and there is a "strange thing" approaching, Leon can't delay it any longer.

"No! no!" his irritation seemed to have some effect, and the little unicorn's tone was suddenly agitated and full of grievances.

"I'm not afraid of them!I, I just don't want to get close to them......" Its voice gradually began to lower again, "I don't know why, the closer I get to that direction, the more scared I become, but、But I'm really not afraid of them!"

"I guess the place I went to was the place where it was killed by some kind of creature, so I was subconsciously afraid of seeing the scene there again......" Leon felt more and more that his judgment was correct, he soothed his tone and said: "It's okay, you can come little by little, you don't have to approach first, follow me like now, and then tell me how many of them there are, where they came from, it's equivalent to helping me deal with them together, okay?"

The little unicorn was silent for a moment, and finally said, "I can do this...... You also have to be careful, though. ”

Its voice fell silent, and Leon knew that there was already a gap in the other party's mental defense, and he exhaled, once again recalling the description of the little unicorn just now.

“...... What the hell is this strange thing coming?"

The young man was full of doubts about this, and at the same time he was haunted by the little unicorn's poor ability to express himself.

The battle continued, he had just chopped a few immortal dolls in the middle of the conversation, when suddenly there was a sound of sharp weapons breaking through the air in his ears, Leon raised his head, looked at the several hand axes that were coming quickly, and used his long sword to pick them out one by one.

A shrill laugh rang out from the canopy above his head, sounding like there were a lot of undead dolls, and they were constantly moving back and forth on the branches to avoid being shot by the ranger's bow.

“...... Your sister is laughing at me?" Leon narrowed, his gaze moving from the canopy to the thick trunk below.

Next, he swung the scorpion claw with both hands and slapped it with all his might, and the black rock bark exploded into pieces of wood under the heavy blow, revealing a large and miserable "wound". At the same time, the trunk of the tree began to sway violently, but the crown of the tree swayed more widely, and countless fallen leaves fluttered down. At the same time, dozens of immortal dolls were thrown out directly.

The elven ranger seized the opportunity, flicked his bowstring, and accurately shot long arrows into the body of the undead doll, and the casualties caused by this kung fu were far greater than when he could only listen to the position just now

Leon didn't expect this demonstrative move to produce such outstanding results, he smiled and immediately started to act, plus the ape Lulu, who had always liked to imitate his behavior. A man and an ape knocked all the way in the direction of the procession.

The body of the undead doll flew helplessly in mid-air, either being thrown far away or falling down, and then killed by the people who rushed over. A moment of effort. There were at least nearly 100 corpses scattered in the vicinity, and for a while, the long-range attacks on people were greatly reduced.

Leon immediately returned to the middle of the group and asked, "How is it?"

At this time, the power fluctuations emanating from Erin's body were already quite thick, and her eyes were blank. It seems to be deaf to everything that happens in the outside world.

Cheney had been observing the girl's condition. Said: "Erin should be feeling the fog of the arcane ring, and when she can see the fourth and fifth rings, the promotion will be successful. ”

There is another sentence that Cheney did not say, generally mages will stay awake when they are promoted, in order to deal with the dangers that may occur - not only the dangers of the outside world, but also to guard against the fact that if the promotion fails, the accumulated power fluctuations are likely to backfire, and they must be dealt with in time. Otherwise, it will cause some damage to a weak body like a mage.

However, Erin is now fully engaged, which means that she has strong faith and trust in Leon and her companions. On the other hand, it also proves that she believes that she will succeed or must succeed quite firmly.

Just as Cheney said those words to Leon, the people around Erin suddenly felt a trace of dryness, the heat source was among them, it was the mage girl in the advanced rank, and the secret magic power accumulated around her at this time clearly showed the power of some element.

"Fire elemental mastery?" Cheney exclaimed.

Generally speaking, the third-order archmage rank does not have obvious elemental tendencies, and it is not until the peak level of the third order, when he is about to be promoted to a fourth-order elemental master, that a certain elemental specialization will appear. However, the girl in front of her showed signs of elemental specialization when she was promoted to the third rank, which is quite rare, and it can be said that once Erin is successfully promoted, the damage will be at least one to two percent higher than that of other archmages through the fire secret method she casts.

After Cheney's brief explanation, the people present finally understood a little bit about the situation of the mage girl, and they stayed around Erin with great anticipation, even if it was so hot that their foreheads began to sweat.

Because they all knew the significance of the presence of another archmage in the ranks, especially a very talented archmage.

Of course, Li Ang understands better, because when he "first arrived", his first dream was to become a mage, but unfortunately the times made people become a warrior, and now although his second profession is an archmage, he can only learn and cast specific summoning secret methods.

So when he heard that Erin's third-order elemental specialization had appeared, he was also quite excited, but he couldn't help but feel a little regretful in addition to his excitement.

"Why is it the fire element, the fire secret method is not very useful in such a big forest......"

The young man was thinking about it when Lena walked up to him and whispered, "Do you feel it, my lord?" ”

Li Ang immediately focused his attention on his feet, and sure enough, he felt a slight tremor.

"I see, thanks for the reminder!" the young man nodded to Yelena, and after a moment's consideration, he decided to let Sapa stop the boars and try to buy Erin as much time as possible.

Just as he was about to summon the barbarian, the voice of the little unicorn rang out at the same time.

"Be careful, a lot of big boars have just run past this side, and those strange things are approaching your direction...... Ahh

At the same time, four or five creatures half as tall as the undead dolls appeared on Leon's battlefield map, and they were supposed to be the "strange things" that the unicorn had just mentioned, and the movement under his feet gradually became violent. (To be continued......)
