Volume 1 Growing Up in the Academy Chapter 111 Under the Veil

The Dark Ball traps were detonated one after another, and his teammates died one by one, the fist joints that Qiao Sen was clutching turned white, and his eyes were bloodshot red with anger.

He also spotted a trap in his scouting range, but instead of approaching, he continued to inspire his teammates while fulfilling his captain's mission.

In fact, the scouts don't need Qiao Sen's encouragement, the people who can stand up at this time are not cowards, isn't it just a bombardment and they will die, it is estimated that they will not feel pain, what is there to be afraid of?

The explosion of the trap gradually stopped, and Qiao Sen was the only one left in the open field, his position relatively far back, and he could clearly see Emile.

Qiao Sen gave a military salute to Amir: "Your Excellency, according to the scope of the trap explosion, there may be 2 or 3 traps in the area where each of us is scouting, and the traps have not yet been completely eliminated, please be careful." Scout Team ...... Annihilated. ”

Emile slowly returned the salute and watched as Jossen walked towards the Dark Ball Trap, and after tearing down the first trap at the cost of one leg, he was wiped out in the explosion of the black ball in the second trap.

"Squeak!" Before Emile could send someone to deal with the trap, a group of white-tailed moles volunteered to go.

White-tailed moles are good at burrowing and have strong perception ability, which is very suitable for this kind of reconnaissance work, but their courage is too small, and their first reaction when they encounter danger is to hide and escape.

But after all, they are intelligent spirit animals, and the shocking heroic sacrifice of the reconnaissance team has given them courage and made them stand up bravely.

Fifty-two white-tailed moles plunged into the earth and disappeared, and after a while, another black ball trap exploded in the open ground ahead.

The mole does not know how to dismantle the trap, so it can only destroy it violently, and the price is to cause an explosion and die in the trap.

"Boom!" There were more explosions than the scouting team caused, and Josson's prediction was correct, there were two or three traps in each scouting area, and the moles were able to clear them all with their superior sense.

As if swearing victory, the bulging dirt bag left traces all the way from the open field to Emile, and one by one the stupid and cute moles came out of the dirt bag, "squeaking" and asking for credit.

But Emile was not happy, and only 23 white-tailed moles returned, less than half of what they had set out.

"Well done, great work!" Emile forced a smile and nodded to the moles.

"Squeak~" The moles who were praised happily dispersed and burrowed into the ground, continuing to search for information for the army.

The trap was cleared, and Emir immediately led his army to join up with the Iron Devouring Behemoth, the Rock Giant Tortoise, and the Giant Horned Spirit Rhino, which had been delayed by the trap for so long, presumably the second line of defense of the Blood Clan had been strengthened under the command of the Blood Knight.

However, Amir couldn't see the existence of a similar defensive line, the main formation of the blood clan was in front, and the blood knight was in the center of the formation, as if there was no defense at all.

"The whole army stops advancing!" Amir commanded in a loud voice.

Based on the distance traveled, they should have reached the second line of defense, but they did not encounter the enemy for a long time, a phenomenon that contradicted reconnaissance intelligence, and Amir had to stop his army.

Suddenly, a low-flying bird caught Amir's attention, and it suddenly disappeared as it flew directly in front of the Iron Eater, as if it had crossed into another dimension.

Emil thought for a moment and ordered, "Flame Mage, unleash the Fireball Technique in front of you at the location of the Rock Giant Tortoise, stay safe. ”

The Rock Giant Tortoise was a little behind the Iron Devouring Behemoth, not too far from where the bird had disappeared, and was within the range of the Fireball Technique.

Emily was the Flame Mage, and she rode the Turbid Spirit Tiger to the Rock Giant Tortoise, and cautiously blasted a fireball spell into the clearing in front of her.

I saw the fireball dragging the tail of the fire forward, and suddenly exploded directly below the place where the bird had disappeared, causing a circle of ripples in mid-air like throwing a stone into the water.

Everywhere the ripples passed, you could faintly see the tall wooden walls and earthen ramparts, as well as the blood clans on the walls who were about to shoot with bows.

The ripples vanished, and the front returned to its original form, but Amir already knew what was going on: "It's the Shadow Veil, watch out for it!" ”

The Shadow Curtain is a fifth-order large-scale positional dark magic, the opponent will see the image that the caster wants to see when looking through the Shadow Veil, and the opponent will not be affected when looking through the curtain, which is an extremely useful magic to confuse the opponent and hide oneself in positional warfare.

As soon as Emir's words fell, a group of arrows suddenly appeared from the front and shot towards the army of the Spirit Summoning Saint Kingdom, and various special arrows such as explosive arrows, poison arrows, corrosive arrows, and flame arrows were overwhelming.

Fortunately, the first half of the troops were mostly strong spirit beasts and defenders wearing heavy armor and shields, and this round of sudden arrow attacks did not cause any damage.

"Wizard troops, unleash magic to attack the Iron Devouring Behemoth right in front of you!" There is no way to fight back without seeing the enemy, and the priority is to break the veil.

The Shadow Veil completely blocks magical and energy attacks, while physical attacks penetrate completely, so the Bloods can shoot arrows behind the Veil without breaking the Veil.

Powerful magical attacks can break the veil, and there are as many as 200 magicians in the Spirit Summoning Saint Country, and one person can release a magic spell to break the curtain.

Fireball, Wind Blade, Ice Pick, Thunder, Flying Rock, all five types of magic appeared, and colorful magical light exploded on the curtain.

The curtain was broken, and what appeared in front of the Spirit-Summoning Saint Nation's army was the fortifications that the Blood Clan had already built.

The fortifications consisted of two walls, the outer layer of a lower earthen rampart and the inner layer of tall wooden walls, which were almost as strong as the small towns of the Empire. There were eight bed crossbows and two trebuchets on top of the wooden walls, and the bed crossbows had been set up with huge crossbow arrows aimed at the iron-devouring behemoth.

As soon as the curtain disappeared, the Blood Clan soldiers behind the bed crossbow slammed the machine bracket with a hammer, and the crossbow arrows shot out with the sound of the howling wind, shooting at the relatively weak legs of the iron armor of the iron-devouring behemoth.

However, the Iron Devouring Behemoth's iron armor was too thick, and the iron armor on its legs was also 5 centimeters thick, and the Blood Clan's bed crossbow could not shoot through it head-on at such a close distance.

The huge kinetic energy of the crossbow still restricts the movement of the Iron Eater Behemoth, and the bed crossbow does not hurt but can bring pain to the Iron Eater Behemoth.

This was enough for the Bloodline, and the ground beneath the Iron Devouring Behemoth's feet suddenly became like a swamp, with a strong corrosive ability attached.

"It's a dark mire! Are there any light mages who can dispel holy light? Amir asked eagerly.

But no one answered.

Holy Light Dispersion is a third-order light magic that can only be learned by high-level light magicians whose magic adaptability has reached the C level. The number of light mages is already small, and several of the Spirit-Summoning Saint Kingdom troops are not yet at the advanced level, and Emir himself is only at the intermediate level.

There are several light attribute spirit beast armies, but none of them have dispel techniques.

This is troublesome, the dark mire is a fourth-order dark earth system dual-system magic, which can turn a large area of land into a soft and muddy mire, and creatures that enter the range of the mire will fall into it, and the more they struggle, the deeper they will fall. The Dark Mire is also highly corrosive, rapidly corroding metal and flesh.

The Earth Magic Mire Trap can be countered by Earth Counter, but the Dark Mire needs to be dispelled by Holy Light to be completely eliminated. If the mire is dispersed in time without the Holy Light dispelling, the creatures trapped in it are basically certain to die.

Able to unleash the fourth-order dual-system magic dark mire, there must be a Magister-level master in the Blood Clan Army.

The huge size and super attacking ability of the Iron Devouring Behemoth aroused the jealousy of the Blood Clan, and it was immediately targeted and plunged into the quagmire, and the Iron Devouring Behemoth, which was originally about the same height as the earth barrier, had already fallen into the quagmire at a third of its height.

"Phew!" The Dark Mire rapidly corroded the Iron Eater's Iron Armor, and due to the gap in the Iron Armor, some of the Iron Eater's flesh and blood were also corroded.

"Whew!" The Iron Devourer roared in pain, the darkness of the invasion and corrosion causing a terrible pain, much more painful than being attacked by a bed crossbow.

The pain in his limbs caused the Iron Eater to struggle, and this fell into the arms of the Dark Mire, and the Iron Eater fell deeper and deeper, and the mire was already above his knees.

"Wizard troops, focus on enemy bed crossbows and trebuchets! Trap the camp first, break through the first earthen barrier for me! ”

Amir had to give up on helping the Iron Eater for a while, it was too heavy to be pulled out of the mire by human means, and the army was too close to the BloodClan's defenses for the Bloods to let us move without harassing them.

The bed crossbow and trebuchet are the two major weapons that should be destroyed first.

The bed crossbow is huge, the accuracy at close range is not bad, the arrow speed is very fast and difficult to dodge, it can cause damage to any spirit beast except the Iron Devouring Behemoth and the Rock Giant Tortoise, the thick skin rhino armor of the giant horned spirit rhino will be penetrated by its shot, and if the human below the senior martial artist is hit by the arrow, he will die on the spot.

The trebuchet's flameburst projectiles can cause a lot of damage, but due to the close proximity of the two armies, the crebuchet's firing angle is average, and the threat is not as good as that of a bed crossbow.

There was time for the open trap to delay, and the Blood Knight had already sent most of the soldiers stationed in the main formation to the second line of defense, and the numerical advantage of the Spirit Summoning Saint Country was not very obvious.

The number of people is not superior, and it is difficult to fight a siege that is no different from a siege battle, and the trapped camp has been repelled three times by the blood soldiers with rolling stones, sandalwood, and hot oil, and the casualties are serious. The attack of the mage army on the bed crossbow was also taken over by the anti-wear barrier set up in advance, and the bed crossbow could not be destroyed for a while.

The inability of the bed crossbow to destroy meant that the Giant Horned Spirit Rhino, which had the strongest siege ability at this time, could not step forward to break through the wooden wall of the earth rampart, they had already tried, and one Spirit Rhino was shot on the spot.

Amir could only order the Rock Tortoise to cover the troops and continue the attack close to the earthen ramparts, trying to figure out which section of the wall would be easier to break through.

"Sister Filia, it seems that the attack is not going well." Groups of soldiers tried to climb the earthen ramparts but were shot down, and Orfina, who had just arrived at the battlefield, had already begun to treat the wounded.

"Nana, save that big guy first, it's trapped in the dark mire."

Orfina followed Filia's guidance, and at a glance saw that the massive Iron Eater Behemoth had been half submerged, and screamed in pain.

Orfina was attracted by the wounded just now, and she didn't see this big guy, she said with some uncertainty: "It's a dark mire, just use the holy light to disperse it, right?" ”

"Well, let's go to Emir first, and ask him to send a rock giant turtle to cover us, and I can only protect myself in the face of those bed crossbows, and I can't protect you." The high-level martial artist Philia can dodge the bed crossbow bolts in time, but to protect one more person, she has to open the soul of the burning sun, she has just recovered from the backlash of the crimson state, and the reuse of this battle will be depleted to her vitality.

"It doesn't hurt anymore." Orfina quickly helped the wounded who had lost an arm and was staring at her blankly, stop the bleeding, and rode the unicorn and Philia towards Amir.

The wounded had not yet recovered from the shock, so how could this angelically beautiful girl take a leg of mutton to treat me? The leg of mutton is so big, how can she hold it with one hand?
