This time, it was more than twenty mages from the Escobar Kingdom who made the first move.
Clusters of colorful spells burst out like dense colorful smoke, sending out spells of different colors and forms one after another. A series of lightning bolts flew out like a long snake of blazing light, pulling out a bright and dazzling trajectory and flying at the distant enemy; the bursting fireballs were like fiery red meteor showers, and the dense flying of the enemy made the sound even more amazing! There were also several mages who made panicked gestures in their hands, and rounds of intense spell aura bloomed one after another. That's the sign of casting an Ice Storm, a ranged area attack spell that's enough to disrupt the spell on mages, and even take out a few bad ones.
Suddenly, several large blue light clusters as large as basins flew out of this group of mages, whistling and bringing out a cold tail of cold air, like a few beautiful comets crashing directly into the group of mages, Spencer smiled even more happily when he saw this--those are powerful ice orbs, which can freeze people into fragile ice sculptures with just one blow! How can those low-level mages resist it? This time there is really a good show.
Dense and powerful spells rained down on the mages of the Mansicott Kingdom like a rain of arrows, but unfortunately both sides were far away, and they could only attack each other with increasing distance spells, and it would take a short time for these spells to reach each other.
The other party is not a nerd, he has already reacted in the blink of an eye, and there is also a burst of chanting and rounds of beautiful spells flashing one after another, and also emitting a series of lightning bolts, bursting fireballs, frozen magic balls, etc., like colorful waterfalls flying past.
It's a pity that they were a little slower, so they were unlucky first.
Several ice storms swept up in the area they were in now, and in the howling sound of the cold wind, large pieces of ice flew like countless bricks on these defenseless mages. The light ones had their heads broken and their blood was splashing with the wind, and the heavy ones were broken on the spot, spurting blood from their mouths and noses! There was no chance to dodge other spells.
When it was too late, those white lightning rushed like hungry pythons, scurrying wildly in the group of mages, crackling and exploding on them, and several old and frail low-level mages didn't snort, and their whole bodies were already scorched and blackened, and they died miserably like charcoal.
Then came a dense rain of fireballs, bursting into huge flames the size of farmhouses. The effect of blowing up the dead people to the point of bleeding and crying for their fathers and calling their mothers, and burning the dead to the point that their limbs are flying sideways, and even the blood is steaming into bursts of red mist and floating in the air, the effect is really terrifying!
Then a few comet-like icy orbs flew down, bursting into a large cloud of cold light in the few remaining living mages. The cold rushed over their thin bodies like a frenzy, and before they could take a breath and escape, the blood in their bodies had turned into red ice cubes, and the air in their lungs had turned into biting frost - they had become large ice sculptures silently, floating above the noisy battlefield like strangely shaped ice coffins.
The mage forces that the Mansicott Kingdom had put together were wiped out in the first place. But thankfully, they had projected enough spells before they died, and now they had descended on the mages of the Escobar Kingdom.
The colorful, murderous and terrifying effects were staged again.
Waves of whizzing and powerful ice storms smashed these low-level mages into headless flies that swayed in the air; long and fierce lightning scurried like giant snakes, causing their flesh and blood to burn and their heads to be dizzy; bursts of powerful and upgraded bursting fireballs were like terrifying fireworks, bursting into ashes one after another, and the terrifying icy orbs flew over like comets of doom, bursting out with bursts of astonishing cold air in the miserable group of mages, freezing the remnants of life. The stumps and blood fell to the battlefield like a pinch of rain, and only a few ice sculptures were left floating in the sky, only to wait for the spell to end and then fall to the ground, causing the frost to smash into powder along with the corpse.
"That's bad!" Spencer muttered in disbelief, "That's it?"
"Oops!" Sugata said with some reluctance, "They are all low-level mages who can only use first- and second-order arcane arts, where can they have strong enough spells to protect themselves." This time, most of the spells they ordered were offensive spells, hoping to wipe out the opponent's mage troops and ground forces at one time, and they didn't buy any protective spells at all! It's like two children naked, holding a demonized battle axe, no matter which one it is, as long as they hit the axe, it's over. Alas~~ I just didn't expect everyone to die so miserably, and none of them survived. β
"It's better not to survive. Spencer excitedly said: "It will be much easier for Walter to clean them up." β
Sugata sighed again and said, "I hope Walter will end this matter soon, so that the mage will not die again." β
"I think we'll have to wait at least for the evening. Spencer said, "Night is the best time for those kobold lizardmen to sneak up." β
"What?!" said the old king of Escobar, whose face was red with rage, and almost spurted blood. He picked up the old mage in front of him and shouted, "Our mage troops are all dead?!"
"What's going on?!What's going on!?" His excited look seemed to be about to have a stroke at any moment: "Didn't we buy a lot of spell equipment? What are those magic wands and scrolls for? Even if you bombard them indiscriminately, you can kill all the enemy's mage troops! What are they doing?! Are they all idiots?!"
"Please~~ Please calm your anger. The old mage almost ran out of breath. He fended off the king's hand, hesitated for a moment, and then knelt down: "I have observed with a spell that the enemy has also used a large number of magic wands and scrolls! β
"It's none of our business that Mansicott's madman doesn't die?!" the old king roared again, his face bruised and hoarse, "I'm concerned - we can't be sure of winning this war without the mage army now!!"
"Do you hear that?" he yelled at the old mage who was kneeling on the ground, "go and gather all the people who can use spells at once, and get me back all the spell tools that have fallen on the battlefield!
The old mage was stunned for a moment, and said stubbornly: "All the trained mages have already been sacrificed, and the rest of them will only be 0th or 1st order arcane, and ~~ and they have not been professionally trained." You know, the spells in those magic wands and scrolls are specially made, and if they are used by force, most of them will be consumed by arcane energy! β
The old king stood stiff for a long time before he gasped and said, "Then~~ Then order all the arcane soldiers and forest rangers to come back! I know that their ability is stronger than those waste wood mages!"
"Father, this will not work. The prince beside him boldly said, "Those arcane spearheads were hired by us, and the original contract said that they would lead and coordinate the troops in battle. If they were to temporarily replace the mage, they would have to raise the price again. And now they are all engaged with the enemy on the front line. If they are allowed to return, it is likely to cause chaos and panic at the front. On the contrary, it is not good for our army. As for the Rangers, they also have the important task of monitoring the enemy army, and once they are recalled, they will give the enemy's cavalry an opportunity to take advantage of them. β
He carefully watched his father not speak, and then continued, "Now that we have no mage troops, then there are no enemies either! The key depends on how the ground war goes. Who can hold up to the end. Therefore, I will simply penetrate our reserve troops into the battlefield immediately, and the sooner the better! Only in this way can we gain the initiative on the battlefield as much as possible. β
The old king walked around irritably, the original good plan was now all disrupted, and if he continued to fight like this, he didn't know how much young labor he would lose? Even if he won, he would lose a lot, but for the sake of a crystal mine, he would make this situation, and he couldn't make it!
But the matter has come to this point, and you can only hold on, otherwise you will lose all your money!
The old king immediately regained his bearings as a leader, and ordered all the nobles to lead their reserved men into battle, without mistake.
Although the eyes of those nobles flashed with a hint of reluctance, their mouths were still shouting quite loudly, and they all swore to serve the king to the end. The old king didn't have time to train them to be wordy, so he immediately ordered them to go into battle.
Seeing these nobles slowly leading their subordinates to the battlefield, the old king sighed helplessly, slumped into his chair, and muttered unwillingly: "How can this be, when did the madmen of Mansicott buy the magic equipment? Why didn't there be any news in advance?"
When the prince saw that there was no one around, he whispered in his ear, "Maybe, I mean maybe! Is it the city of Giffen that did it? They sold things to the kingdom of Escobar and to the kingdom of Mansicott?"
The old king shuddered: "No. They~~"
He can't go on, this kind of thing is really possible! There is no second city in the vicinity where mages gather except for Giffin City. More importantly, every mage city is divided by unwritten forces, and if you don't sell things on my territory, I won't sell things on your territory. Everyone eats their own food and earns their own money. Therefore, such a large purchase and sale of other mage cities is not lightly involved.
The old king still didn't believe it, and defended: "But in Giffen City, Senior Master Stull, who is in charge of the bulk trade of goods, told me personally that this time they only sell magic equipment to us in Giffen City! He also privately asked me to make a contract, once I occupied the crystal mine, I would give him a part of the profits every year, and I agreed. How can you sell something to the kingdom of Mansicott?"
"What if we hadn't taken the Crystal Mine?" the prince asked, "and he has nothing to lose!
Lao Guo froze on the spot, like a surprised stone sculpture. It took a long time to come back to his senses and say fiercely: "This bastard deceived us and ate both ends?"
The prince nodded, "In this way, whoever wins, he will get the benefits." β
The king was still a little unconvinced: "Isn't he afraid that I will denounce him?"
The prince suddenly asked, "Where did you sign a contract with him?"
"In his mage tower~~" The king came to his senses as he spokeβthere are countless protective spells in the mage tower, which can isolate external detection, and what is happening inside cannot be reviewed with prophecy spells!
The prince hurriedly asked, "Is the contract a copy for each person?"
"Only one copy. Moreover, in ~~ in his hands. The old king almost whimpered: "I have a request for him, and I have to do it according to his will~~"
The prince said angrily, "That's it, if you don't have any ghosts, why did you choose to sign it in the mage's tower? and put the contract with him? Now he just said: It was someone who impersonated me with a spell to do it." You'll be able to put all the blame on you!"
The old king was furious, and said with his arms to the sky: "This bastard! I was deceived by him! I was deceived by him! Ahh Woo woo woo ~ ~ "
What does that miserable look like a king? a completely old man who has failed in business and has lost hope in life.
"No, it won't!" said the prince, "if they had any other agreement, they wouldn't have let us annihilate their mage forces! I think the Mansicots have been kept in the dark as well! The most important thing is to quickly penetrate more troops, and be sure to gain an advantage on the battlefield!"
Sugata and Spencer landed on a small hillside not far from the battlefield, and Sugata cast a spell on a thick ring, and a large ornate extradimensional gate appeared out of thin air. The blue door frame still exudes a jade-like texture, and the intricate pattern of the red color is like a fine ruby inlay. It's even more luxurious than the gate of the king's house.
The two entered the spacious but slightly empty interior. There is only a large round table and a few chairs.
Spencer smiled and said, "You're too simple here." There is no furniture or decoration, it looks like a mage's mansion. You should decorate it like I did. β
"Your decoration isn't good, either. Sugata laughed back: "It looks like the villa of a rich man in the countryside, and it doesn't smell like a mage at all." β
"That's because I don't have any money. Spencer corrected: "When I have the money, I will make the floor of the best jade, with white jade as the background, green jade as the pattern, and red jade as the decoration, and then make a coral mural, the kind made of small pieces of colored coral, little by little! Imagine that as soon as you enter, you will step on the smoothest and warmest jade below, surrounded by coral murals that are more beautiful than rainbows. Wow~~ That's an artistic enjoyment. Oh yes, and you can also install a combination of iridescent magic lights on the top of the hall! It's no wonder that those women are not fascinated when they see it. Hahahaha"
Sugata smiled: "Do you want to put a few pieces of fragrant wood furniture smuggled from the Eastern Continent, and then buy a few six-legged frost monitor lizards from the mainland to guard the door?"
Spencer was still immersed in a beautiful fantasy with his eyes blurred: "I don't want frost monitor lizards, but there must be a few pieces of fragrant wood furniture in the Eastern Continent, I have seen their craftsmanship, it is quite luxurious! And there are all kinds of chic shapes." For example, I've seen a kind of king-size bookshelf, which is two stories high! The body seems to be molded from a whole tree, with a sinuous and graceful arc and a thick and sturdy wooden plank, which is not only beautiful and unique, but also does not see a single gap on it. Alas~~ I tell you that you don't know. That guy is too big to imagine. Not to mention loading books, you can sleep on any of the floors. β
Sugata smiled a little and said, "I haven't seen a large bookshelf, but I've heard that some of the incense wood houses have an aphrodisiac effect. They were rumored to have spent five estates on the Queen of the Duchy of Hereford and nearly two years to get a large wooden bed made of special purpose. Then she was infertile for thirteen years, and gave birth to a little princess in the second year. β
Spencer scoffed, "That's one for each of the High Mages of the Arcane Alliance." Not unusual. β
As he spoke, three translucent arcane servants floated down from the building, their upper bodies slightly human-like, and their lower bodies curved and horned. With plates full of food in their hands, they floated down the stairs quickly and steadily.
After the food is placed on the table, they automatically set up the chairs and utensils and wait for the host to eat.
The two of them, who had been jolting on the fanged wyvern for a long time, now had a great appetite. Gulp down a nutritious patty made from a blend of beef and beef bone marrow, savor a slice of sweet croutons drenched in cream, take two sips of fresh lemon juice and munch on a tooth-nourishing spinach salad. And so the good afternoon passed.
Of course, it would be nice to bring a few of the courtesans of Giffen City.
When the sun set, the plains were red, and it was impossible to tell whether it was the color of the sun or the color of blood.
The soldiers of the two small nations cried out hoarsely, their thirsty throats burning as if a coal, their hungry bodies as if they were about to fall apart. But they still dragged their tired bodies and rushed towards the equally tired enemy, fighting for honor and pride, hatred and self-esteem, so that the cacophony of gold and iron and the creepy screams and groans continued to resound over the vast plains like heavy rain.
Ant-like corpses are scattered all over the tender green plains, and the grass may grow very lush next year.
The old king of Escobar stared at the battlefield in front of him with a motionless gaze. Finally, he raised his hand weakly and said, "It is still in a stalemate, after a whole day of fierce fighting, the soldiers on both sides are very tired, and the spells of those arcane soldiers have been used up. According to their reports, thirty percent of them have died now, and twenty percent of them have been seriously injured, and what's worse is that now the priests' medical spells have all run out!Alas~~ Originally, they wanted to concentrate all their strength to defeat the enemy, but it became a tragic battle. There's no way, let my personal guards go up now, and hopefully this last force will crush the enemy. β
The prince made an opinion: "The personal guards are dedicated to protecting you, if you go up now, what will happen to your safety?"
"Safety?" the old king smiled bitterly: "Do I still need safety? If I lose this time, do you know what the consequences will be? Those dukes will mobilize his men to go around and say: This king has no command and no ability to lead everyone." We need a new king. And then ~~ and then I don't know what the intrigue will be. One day, we might collude with the dwarves and let the dwarves cross the level and attack our castle. Take the hands of others and kill our family, and then take the throne again. Hmph, it's not like I've never heard of this kind of thing!"
Seeing that the prince was silent, the old king sighed and said, "That's it, as the monarch and royal family of a small country, this is what we must bear." β
A group of soldiers dressed in bright silver heavy scale armor, with well-made javelin bows behind their backs, and armed broadswords, rushed into battle with anger, courage, and hope. This is the last force that the Kingdom of Escobar can mobilize.
On the other side, the same group of soldiers also rushed bravely. This is also the last force that the Mansicott Kingdom can mobilize.
