There were about a dozen chimeric creatures that appeared in front of the Wizard and Curt, and they were shoulder to shoulder, slowly approaching the Wizard's array in a tight formation.

Click, click, click......

The metallic legs and feet rolled over the ground in unison, and the three-petaled toes left scratches on the rocks. The black-and-white exoskeletons and long knife-like forelimbs that cover their entire bodies seem to boast of their prowess to the enemies they face.

If the "worms" that have been turned to ashes by the flames fired by the sorcerers are the hidden troops for raids and assassinations, then this group of chimeric creatures is now the "soldiers" responsible for frontal combat. Neat and orderly, each one is cold and stiff like a machine.

Each chimera "soldier" has an insect-like head on top, and the gray-black texture is like a helmet. As if affected by the persistence of the Creator, they are as if they were fused from the same mold, lacking the individual differences that normal creatures should have.

It has been argued that it is impossible to tell the difference between two ants - and that human sensibility is not enough to distinguish similar individuals of the same species without specialized research. But no matter how you tell the difference, no one can tell the difference.

"It's normal, these things were made by a guy with obsessive-compulsive disorder. Lizzie's tired voice appeared in Curt's head, "Can you believe it? they're all half-finished, and if they were given a little more time, they would definitely be ten times more dangerous than they are now." ”

The soul bond between the two is one-way, but when the connection is formed. It's not just thoughts and perceptions that can be shared. When Lizzie said this, Curt felt that something was wrong with her magic, but this "feeling" was difficult to describe in words.

"Lizzie. You said you were locked up, and now what?"

Despite feeling a little confused, Curt didn't ask Lizzie directly: "Besides, that wall has been opened by itself not long ago, but as you can see, it seems that the other party has successfully mobilized some troops during this time to prevent us from going further. ”

Not only the small group of "soldiers" who appeared in front of them, but the sound of footsteps gradually became more and more obvious in the darkness deep in the underground passage. A rough estimate is that there are at least five. The near-uniform pace makes it difficult to estimate how many more enemies are about to emerge from the darkness.

"It's nothing, it's just a little trouble, don't worry. Lizzie replied to Curt with some laziness. The tone was full of burnout, "It seems that I haven't been active for so long that I almost forgot to maintain the necessary alertness...... It's not enough for you to worry about me. ”

Since she was still able to detach some of her spirit to peek into the situation he saw on his side, it showed that the situation she encountered on her side was not too troublesome. Although the cost of mana is a little abnormal. But Lizzie's tone didn't seem to be reckless. Curt was a little relieved.

"That's right, yes, I'll tell you a good thing. ”

As if to reinforce Curt's impression, Lizzie said in a light-hearted tone, "Remember when I said, 'They're all half-finished'? Well...... At best, it's 'simple and direct', and at worst, it's 'low intelligence' -- in any case, these half-finished products will only use the most direct way to carry out orders. ”

After saying this, Lizzie didn't forget to add a sentence in a mocking tone, "People who are inferior can only make such indiscriminate things", and there was a faint disgust in her tone.

But regardless of what Lizzie said, even Curt knew that the lack of intelligence in products was the biggest bottleneck in the subject of creating "artificial lifeforms". Maybe it could be easily made with spells. But this is not the case with soul and spirit. If you just want to make a respectful servant, you just need to give life to something hypocritical. But this is definitely not the creation of "living beings".

It is the vessel of the soul, the soul is the basis of living things, and the spirit is the organ that drives both. These chimeric creatures are soulless shells, and they are only able to act in such a regular way because they are affected by manipulation spells...... In other words, they can only act on orders.

It makes sense to see why they were able to maintain a tight line in front of the swarm of mages, and why each chimera seemed so dull in its every move. Curt doesn't feel the sanity of a "creature" in them, and even the shoddy dolls are more agile than they are.

Just looking at it through Curt's vision, Lizzie could see this, and there was no reason why the mages present wouldn't notice. Soon, they had a plan to deal with it.

"Switch to the third formation and get ready to attack!"

A sorcerer standing in the center of the circle shouted loudly, and Curt noticed that he was the one who had commanded the rest of his companions to form a defensive formation to defend and counterattack not long ago: "Front row, change the direction of the defensive barrier, use the scattered earth and stone stacking obstacles!"

Perhaps they had temporarily decided to accept his leadership during the defensive battle just now, but with a "hmm-" two blows, the mages who had previously maintained a circular formation immediately changed their formation. With the sorcerer as the center, the rest of the people put on a formation with three people in front and four behind.

The mercephalic soldiers approached, and the mages were ready to attack. The barrier of magic that had been used to guard oneself expanded to the front of the array, forming another wall. Not only that, but the earth and rocks scattered on the ground were collected and stacked by them with spells, and they formed a well-organized fortification.

Wizards aren't necessarily good at combat, but their skills allow them to find effective responses to most situations. Using spells to forcibly transform the unfavorable environment into a situation that is unfavorable to the opponent, spells are definitely more than just a technique used in battle.

Obviously, the solution they chose was effective, especially when dealing with these chimeric lifeforms with "few brains and tendons". The dirt and rocks stacked on the ground were successfully holding back the opponent's footsteps, and they had to take the time to clear the obstacles if they wanted to maintain a neat array.

In an era when spells were not yet available, a phalanx of soldiers lined up in a neat array was a great way to make them wield effective combat power. However, when powerful spells destroyed countless phalanxes on the battlefield, the dense array eventually changed into several squads with a clear division of labor.

Anyone knows that maintaining a phalanx in front of an array of organized mages is a fool's errand. A person in their right mind might now use these obstacles as cover to dodge the Wizard's attacks, but these chimeras are swinging their forelimbs in an attempt to destroy them.

So what awaits them is naturally a bombardment of spells.

Crimson flames, surging thunder, a chilling snap, and trembling sound waves...... Not sure what spells worked for these strange chimeric creatures, they each cast their best spells. If they are living creatures, there is always a spell that will work on them normally.

As the sorcerer standing in the center of the array commanded, no stingy manure. They live up to the title of "the best of the best", and whether it is the response or the power of the spell, even in the upper echelons of the staffing agency.

The chimera's forces were torn apart by the galloping spell with lightning speed. If it is at the level of fighting ordinary people, this small group of "soldiers" can wield good combat ability, but in the face of high-powered spells, they will only be blasted to pieces by various elements.

"Mr. Leinster, the guard in the rear has been handed over to you!" Even as he continued to project spells, the mage standing in the middle did not forget to shout at Curt, "Please notify us in time if there is an enemy, and if you can, please use the terrain to delay them as much as possible." ”

Their current position could only be used against the enemy in front of them, but it was indeed an effective countermeasure, and a large number of spells were fired to cover the chimeras on the other side of the passage. Curt excels in close combat, but is more effective at using spells against large numbers of enemies.

Curt couldn't help but smile, it seemed that before he knew it, the sorcerer had taken himself under the domination system. If this was also Cruise François's strategy, then there is no doubt that Curt was also part of this simple test by the Wind of the Twelve

Curt couldn't read Cruise François's mode of thinking. The high-ranking mage, known as the "Wind King", is as unpredictable as the wind. Perhaps a little better than surrendering to the air around him is that he can at least be observed by the human eye.

"I feel the same way. ”

Just as Curt was about to observe the passage behind him, an iron-colored metal frame appeared at the end of his vision: "Dean Cruise François is an elusive man with great strength. So until now, I'm glad he's my friend and not my enemy. ”

It was Aurordine, the strange construct that had been attached to Cruise François's exclusive room on the Tower of Silvershine, that appeared before Curt's eyes. Its skeleton was as metallic as ever, but a few spinning blades gave him a little more ferocity than what he had seen that day.

"Unsurprisingly, it looks like you're in trouble. He glanced at the corpse of the sorcerer lying on the ground, and could not hear any change of emotion in the synthesized voice, "But now is not the time to mourn, there are more urgent matters that must be told to you." ”

And definitely not good news. (To be continued!)
