The mercenaries shouted, and they first shot dozens of arrows at the heads of the three ogres. biquge.info Unfortunately, the floppy arrows were of little interest to the terrible giant, and they raised their hand at random to block themβthe arrows slipped across their pimpled thorn skins and flew somewhere, only one of them hit its targetβstopping in the middle of the filthy hair, like a simple hair ornament for the giant ogre.
And a few mercenaries who tried to approach were killed in the first place......
As soon as they rushed forward with the rudimentary halberds and axes in their hands, a thick black smoke that could not be seen through replaced the billowing smoke and dust, which seemed to turn slowly, but in an instant, it completely enveloped a spherical area of forty feet in circumference! This sudden change set off a wave of angry scolding and roaring mixed with fear...... And a barrage of screams!
But the cry was so short.
The first voice stopped almost instantly, and in the next few breaths, all the voices went through a high-pitched process, and then suddenly disappeared, the wail was so poignant that people could not doubt think of death!
The rest of the mercenaries looked at each other, and the fear on the faces of their partners made them choose to withdraw and retreat at the first time! However, the second black shadow and screams also sounded at the same time...... Immediately the black mist of the horror had blocked their way back!
Dark ...... Looks like there's more to the caster than one!
Edward clenched the sword in his hand, but there was a chill on his back, and he even regretted why he reflexively moved forward with the big slip just nowβthe ogres in the distance who were roaring forward were obviously not ordinary breeds, at least half larger than ordinary ogres, and only a rough estimate was more than twelve feet in size...... This is almost the size of the legendary giants.
Moreover, they were not as stupid and clumsy as the mercenaries boasted - they did not choose to charge in the face of the retreating mercenaries, but bent down one after another......
The tremor on the ground was there again, but what was so haunting was a terrible scream from the air!
What happened in front of them made the mercenaries let out a strange scream, and they no longer cared about maintaining any protection during the retreat, but just ran away in all directions - no matter who saw a stone the size of himself, at least nearly a person's size, flying towards him from the air, I am afraid that he would subconsciously react to escape......
So the huge black shadow finally slammed into the ground, and in the rumbling sound, gravel, sand, and leaves flew away, and after a small earthquake-like shaking, a large pit with a diameter of more than three feet was formed in the smoke and dust! For a moment the whole forest trembled, and even the farthest places, the various birds in the forest were awakened one by one, and then flew in all directions in panic.
However, at this time, Cun ZΓ i, who had the power to change the tide of the battle, finally joined the battle.
The mage and the priest raised their hands in unison, each uttering a sonorous or mysterious voice...... The light in the jungle shrank and expanded, and the darkness that had absorbed the light vanished in an instant, revealing a figure hidden by a wide, tattered black cloak.
The disappearance of darkness made these figures slow down involuntarily, and it also allowed people to see their appearances clearly-
There are several...... At least there were fourteen or fifteen slender shadows in the misty dust, yes, like shadows, and even though the darkness was dispelled, they still took on a misty darkness.
Maybe it's because of the clothes they wear...... The black and gray clothes of some kind of leather zuΓ² tightly wrapped around the body, outlining a slender and slender figure, and the body was wearing a special kind of chain mail, and the metal armor had a strange color circulating on it, like gold, but this gold was unusually dull and even a little black, showing a dark gold.
But what is more striking is undoubtedly the pale silver hair that spreads out over the armor, and the black face underneath.
"Dark Elves!"
Then the paladin who caught up let out a loud roar, and the holy brilliance overflowed from his body like a pale golden mist, causing him to send a bright band of light in the airβwith this far beyond the ordinary, he had already met his first opponent!
Then the paladin turned around and rushed towards the other target without hesitation, ignoring the large spurt of blood behind him, and slowly turned into a human form in half!
"What the hell he's meowing!"
Edward cursed inwardly, but he didn't know if he was cursing his enemies or his luck.
The Dark Elves are the other of these elves, and in some way are far rarer than their relatives, and are almost only found in stories and legends...... But no matter what the legend is, they are usually the absolute villains in it - according to some ancient legends. This race is a people who have turned their backs on the light and fallen into darkness from ordinary elves, living in the shadows of the earth. Hostile to a qiΔ creature even their own compatriots, hating life and sunshine, their society is rife with intrigue and killing, and living in it, they are obviously not in a normal person's mind.
Obviously, there may not be many things in the world that are better at bullying the soft and fearing the hard, persimmons looking for soft pinching, and attacking the weaknesses of the opponent...... After killing one of their companions, instead of trying to find the murderer for revenge, they dispersed with a whistle, sending the three ogres around the terrifyingly glowing enemy while they continued to rush towards the crowd of mercenaries with only 5 combat strength!
And one of them, after a short rush, crashed into Edward, who didn't retreat at the first time!
The Dark Elves were extremely agile in their movements, and showing their backs in front of them was the most stupid thing to do, and even the slightest cowardice could be devastating, Edward warned himself inwardly as he narrowed his eyes and stared at the scarlet two-point pupils beneath his opponent's white hair.

This human's abnormal appearance made the subhuman hesitate slightly, but he quickly let out a suppressed roar and stabbed his sword into the opponent's side!
The long sword in Edward's hand swung and was about to take advantage of the weight gap to swing the sword, but the fine gold sword stretched and shrank like a snake, and instead blocked his sword, which was infused with eighty percent of its strength, and then continued to stab at the hunter with a strange cold light. The speed is as fast as attacking at the same time with a sword in each hand...... Edward broke out in a cold sweat at once, and he jerked sideways, barely dodging the astonishingly fast sword, but the chain mail on his body was ripped open with a stab, and the iron was no different from parchment under the pure gold.
But the opponent's attack ability is still beyond his imagination...... Reflexively, Edward felt a pain in his calf, although the leather boots inlaid with iron bars made this blow not very painful, but it broke his hastily maintained balance and caused his body to float, almost sitting on the ground!" "The experience accumulated from many battles made him roll when he fell to the ground, and sure enough, with a thud, a dark essence gold sword was inserted into his original position.
And he didn't even see the other party's movements clearly.
! The hunter gritted his teeth and spun around in a half-propped up motion in the motion...... Then wave your hand violently!
Since you can't determine the direction of the target, it's better to attack on a large area!
A thin shadow slid outward with the wave of his arm, and then thrashed like a snake!
Edward's mechanism attached to the arm guard is a circular roller, and the steel wire used is a specially drawn filament, which is less than 10 feet long, but he knows that the opponent will definitely rush towards him, so his body spun violently, and sure enough, there was a trembling feel on the steel wire, and he leaned back without hesitation, and pulled the wire violently with this action!
Drow obviously didn't expect this human to use such a strange weapon, his legs involuntarily brought together, and he fell to the ground with a thud, he struggled to get up, but Edward would let him get his wish, and jerked it to the side, and threw the unlucky guy out again, hitting a tree root impartially, and this time even the bayonet sword in his hand was thrown far away!
Then came a kick to the temple, which allowed him to fall asleep without pain.
"Fuck, is Lao Tzu's waist in the way of you bastards?"
The young hunter cursed, then glanced up at the battlefield around him.
Although it was thrilling, he still won...... However, it is obvious that ordinary mercenaries do not have such skills, three or four screams came from all around the battlefield, the sound was different, Edward swept over at a glance, and found that in addition to the mage's golem battle involving the two dark elves, there were only ten guys left, and the remaining thirty or forty mercenaries were actually restrained to death! And people kept falling!
But in the other direction, the tide of battle is still tilting in their favor.
A beam of flame erupted from the black-robed mage's fingertips, and the huge fireball quickly collided with the dark green canopy, followed by an earth-shattering roar, cascading heat waves, a scorching breath that swept through the air, a pungent sulfur smell that filled the air, flames flying up and down, and scorched fragments and powder splattering in all directions......
"So be it, you can leave, and this is your reward. The mage suddenly spoke, and she pulled out a pocket from her waist, and with a flick of her hand, a dozen glimmers of light fell on each mercenary.
After a brief pause, the mercenaries' voices of surprise and delight followedβeach with a jewel the size of a pigeon's egg. It exudes a faint luster, although it has not been specially decorated and contains some impurities, but each such gem, even in a small city in the deserted western Xinjiang, can be sold for at least two hundred gold coins at a high price, if it is further east of the big city, in fact, two or three times the price is not a problem, and with the relics of those accomplices, in fact, the harvest of this trip has exceeded their expectations.
However, after a moment of euphoria, a new round of problems was placed in front of them......
"Master, doesn't seem appropriate to let them go like this, does it? those dark elves and ogres are probably still wandering on our way here, or even gathering more of their kind...... If you let them go back like this, wouldn't it ......" After a little silence, the holy warrior couldn't help but speak.
"Our contract has ended, and helping them is not on our itinerary. After taking a few steps forward, the mage suddenly stopped and spoke as if to himself. "Well, I'm still going to need some manpower, but I think you'll think there's a danger ahead that you can't deal with...... Therefore, it is still the original principle, I will not force you to go, but this time the reward is double the previous one, 50,000 gold coins, how about it?"
The mercenaries looked at each other, and they all saw some vicious curse in each other's eyes - this mage was obviously cunning and vicious, and she probably had already deduced this situation, so she hired the mercenaries as cannon fodder to reduce her spell consumption along the way...... The journey ahead was naturally dangerous, but now the mercenaries had found themselves in a dilemma, and now, they had fallen too deep...... If the mercenary brigade is still there, or even only about half of it is left, then there is no problem with YiqiΔ, as long as he returns along the path he came, he should not encounter too much danger. However, at this time, there were only seventeen of the remaining mercenaries, including the dwarf...... This number sounds like a lot, but it is only used in this forest, but it is tantamount to a drop in the ocean, and it is a bit troublesome to deal with those carrion-eating creatures attracted by the bloody gas on the way back. Not to mention the winged guys.
If those remnant creatures have not gone far and have been looking for opportunities, then this group of people who have lost the cover of high-level magic is actually their food at all......
Therefore, their best choice was to follow the mage...... In this way, even the paladins are not likely to question this matter too much - because it is the mercenaries themselves who choose to move forward.
"Cunning guy ......"
Edward snorted in a voice that he could only hear, he already had more reasons than those mercenaries, since he was also going to take risks, he naturally wanted to choose the side with a more generous reward...... Magic, a word that had been turning back in the young man's heart for more than ten years, seemed to be within reach at this time, and the throbbing in his heart made him finally take a step forward......
As for whether it is dangerous, we can only take one step at a time to see it.
Obviously, this was a confusing decision for the people who didn't know what was going on, and the dwarf tapped his horn helmet and followed him without hesitation, so more and more people had to choose to go with him.
