The kobold lizardman is really shrewd. After they had taken a few dozen steps back and didn't hear the sound of chasing or shouting behind them, they knew immediately that something was wrong with the team. Some of the dexterous creatures, with a few long leaps as light as a chariot, quietly ran back, and swooped into the tall grass to scout this way.
After a while, several hoarse but penetrating voices sounded in the vast fog. The ko-headed lizardmen on the west side rushed back. The formation still spread out to fight the mage's bursting fireballs, but they were as fast as the wind, and they could easily chase the rabbits. In a few breaths, he rushed to a distance of more than 70 or 80 feet outside the caravan station.
The mage hurriedly raised his wand and unleashed several bursting fireballs. However, the other party is very scattered and very clever. With caution, a few balls were only slightly injured in the past, and when they got up, they jumped more than ten feet and rushed to this side like a light sparrow.
The guys all gathered together, took out improvised weapons and wooden round shields, and prepared to resist the first round of onslaught from the kobold lizardmen. But when they heard the strange hiss of the kobold lizardmen in the fog, they didn't know how many of them there were, what kind of weapons and equipment they were holding, and what kind of formation they were going to use, so they were all timid. His face was frightened and uneasy, and there was no look of firmness or fortitude.
Dong Hezi sighed that knowing nothing about the enemy would cause a strong fear. In this way, you will definitely lose, unless the fog is dispersed so that both sides can see each other, so that the doubts and fears of the guys can be dispelled.
So he held down the "Wind Seal" arrow hidden in his clothes, and used his true power to use the "weather manipulation" spell that the seal possessed. After refining the talisman into a seal, you only need to consume essence and invoke true power to make the rune produce a certain spell. There is no restriction on this spell slot, and it can be emitted as long as there is still essence.
This process is similar to a psychic ability that consumes psionic points to cast spells. It's just that one consumes psionic points, the other consumes essence, one uses soul to produce spell effects, and the other uses sigils to produce spell effects. One is to spawn specific spells as needed, and the other is to spawn a series of related spells. For example, in addition to "manipulating the weather", this "Wind Seal" can also perform the Wind Wall Technique and the Hidden Mist Technique.
Now that he activated the Wind Seal with all his strength, the fog had faded a lot in a few breaths, and he could vaguely see movement in the distance. If it continues to develop at this rate, it will not take half a minute to create a large fog-free combat area in the vast fog.
But it was too late, and the kobold lizardman slammed into a neat round of javelin projections, like a sharp and terrifying rain falling from the sky.
At the heart of Javelin Rain is the mage!
Although he had already added hazy magic to himself, his body and surroundings were filled with a large cloud of distorted and blurred light and shadow, which could prevent point-to-point attacks. But now it's a swarm area attack, and the spell is useless. So he burst out of his mouth like a cannon, faster than a tongue twister.
Buzzing, a half-human-long, translucent spell shield appeared above his head, helping him fend off the javelin. He himself was half-crouched, trying to reduce the area of attack.
And the incantation in his mouth still did not stop, and he made various gestures in his hands, and his flexible and fast appearance was several times faster than that of the deaf and mute people in sign language!
The rain of sharp javelins whizzed down, and a few unlucky, slow-moving fellows were immediately stabbed in the heart!
Double, thump, two powerful javelins slammed into the circular mage's shield, nearly shattering. Then a third, heavy, powerful javelin flew in.
With a thud, the mage's shield shattered into nothingness.
The javelin castration is unabated, and the straight stab mage is coming!
With a whoosh, it pierced the mage's body.
But at this moment, the mage's body was already rapidly twisting and expanding, turning into a cloud of golden smoke in the blink of an eye, slowly rising into the sky. A few more javelins shot through the golden cloud and fell to the ground, but the golden cloud was not damaged at all. It turned out that the moment the third javelin stabbed down, he had already completed the "Vaporize Form" spell. Normal power attacks are now completely useless against him, unless the opponent's javelin is a demonized weapon to damage him.
The mage, who had turned into a golden cloud, ascended safely, flying higher and higher, and soon was far away from the entire camp - he was safe.
However, the caravan on the ground was in danger, and another round of powerful javelin rain swooped down viciously from the sky, unstoppable!
Screams rang out, and several people were pierced through their arms and thighs, and were wailing and lying on the grass convulsing and struggling. Thankfully, there were no dead people. Dong Hezi hurriedly ran over and pulled out his javelin, and performed a "healing technique" on these people, pretending to be the false identity of "the priest of the god of the air element". Anyway, the "healing techniques" of the priest and druid are very similar in nature and effect. Even the higher pastors are extremely difficult to distinguish.
The kobold lizardmen quickly gathered together in groups and reorganized into a well-established battle group. With the cooperation of various weapons from near and far, they launched a merciless attack on this side. Several ferocious battle groups even broke into the caravan's garrison and collided with the poorly equipped and timid men.
Blood splattered like water, screams rang out like gongs—all human, of course.
Before the guys could get close to the kobold lizardmen's combat group, they were accurately shot by javelins that came from the barrage, and they fell to the ground screaming or muffled, and they didn't see it alive. As soon as the brave approached them, they were overwhelmed by spears and could not get closer. Those experienced men managed to get past the range of the spears, but were blocked by the kobold lizardmen with round shields and short swords. They shield their bodies with round shields and directly charge at the human brave. As soon as he collided, he took advantage of his short stature and swung his sword to cut the legs and feet of humans.
The brave man fell with a scream, blood spurting from his legs and filling the bleak weeds of the dark night. Their individual bravery, with the strict tactical cooperation of the kobold lizardmen, is nothing more than an honor!
Although the combined number of combat groups was less than fifteen people, they were like no one, crisscrossing seventy or eighty human groups. Everywhere you go, the humans killed are like gourds rolling on the ground, and the collapse of morale is just around the corner!
This qiē happens in just twenty breaths!
And the mages who were able to destroy their battle formations were still busy in the air. He has changed back into human form and added a flying spell to himself. But for the sake of insurance, he was putting on a bunch of protective spells for himself - what mage armor, protective arrows, and displacement techniques were put on his body one after another, but he didn't use flashing and hidden fog techniques. It seems that if he doesn't protect himself tightly first, he won't make a move.
Seeing this, the caravan owner was in a hurry, so he had to turn around and shout in the direction of the mercenary station: "Mackenzie, come here and help!
The other party replied unequivocally: "If we don't pay off the money for these few weeks, we won't come! You don't have to say those big words to fool us! These kobold lizardmen will only attack people who have no combat effectiveness, but carry goods and wealth." I wouldn't have fought with us poor people who have lives and no money!"
He was right - a kobold lizardman didn't go to their side to "make trouble" either. These non-human creatures are shrewd enough to know where there is oil and water but no combat power, and which side has combat power but no oil and water.
The caravan owner was so angry that his flushed face seemed to be about to turn his back at any moment. He yelled, "All right, tomorrow I will go into the city and pay you all the arrears! I will pay you two weeks' money in advance! Come here, if you are too late, there will be no money!"
But he replied categorically: "Boss, you haven't fulfilled your verbal promise once along the way." Now there is no basis for the words, we have a temporary contract here, you can come and sign it first!"
The caravan boss was almost out of breath, almost wailing, "There's no time left! I'll sign it as soon as you come. ”
An unrelenting voice came from there: "Sign first, then come over." Otherwise, there's no talk!"
The caravan owner couldn't catch it in one breath, and immediately felt a tightness in his chest, and the whole person fell backwards with no strength. Just as he fainted, a large hand slapped him on the shoulder. Suddenly, the tension of the body and mind immediately dissipated invisibly, and there was really a feeling of spring breeze.
He looked back and saw that it was the "priest of the God of the Qi Element".
The man said unhurriedly: "Three of my five small qi elements flew back, which can help your people resist for a while." You go and sign it, I'm here, and I won't collapse for a while. ”
It's good to have a pastor! At critical moments, you can replace yourself in the formation. At this moment, the boss's gratitude is like a surging river, but it is difficult to express the crisis. He shook his hand excitedly, turned his head and rushed to the mercenary's position.
The three qi elements flew down from mid-air, and in order to add to the deterrent, they had changed from completely transparent to a clear blue at this time, and there were even countless tiny electric sparks flickering on their bodies. Suddenly there was a raging momentum.
As soon as the three of them flew down, they immediately swung their arms and pounced on the kobolds and lizardmen's battle group. Those arms were all shining with electricity, with the effect of the second-order spell "Electric Claw Technique", and everywhere they went, those kobold lizardmen were screamed by electricity, and some of them with slightly worse physique were immediately knocked to the ground by numbness.
These guys are also clever, and they scatter in all directions, so as not to be swept away by the other party. Although the small gas elementals fly rapidly, they can only chase and attack one by one. And those ko-headed lizardmen are small, and they can run several times faster than ordinary people, which is almost comparable to well-trained hunting dogs. It's really hard to catch up.
As long as the scattered kobold lizardmen saw that the small qi elemental did not chase after them, they immediately gathered into a complete battle group with the other scattered companions around them, and continued to unite and strangle the defensive front of the humans. If the small qi elementals came back to kill again, they would leap and scatter in all directions with a single breath, and the speed was too fast to catch up.
In this way, they gathered and dispersed, and started a guerrilla war with a few qi elements.
Suddenly, the three small qi elements changed their tactics, and their faces shone with the strange brilliance of spells. Its "middle face" suddenly emitted a smashing sound wave, sweeping in all directions like a searchlight!
Everywhere they passed, the ko-headed lizardmen screamed and threw down their weapons, covering their ears and retreating. Sonic shatters objects that are not of much strength, and is now more powerful when they are gathered into a beam. What's more, ko-headed lizardmen have a much more sensitive sense of hearing than humans, and they suffer from it at the moment. The powerful sound waves that humans can still endure are like spears to their brains!
The three beams of smashing sound swept wildly at the place where the ko-headed lizardman broke in, causing it to jump and retreat one after another, and those who couldn't avoid it could only roll to the ground in pain, where was there still combat effectiveness? Immediately caught up by the humans, several swords were cut into bloody mud.
As soon as the western front of the human race was solidified, I heard the neighing of kobold lizardmen from the east—the group that was lying in ambush in the woods had rushed over!
These fellows had just been killed, and now they looked at their comrades who were rolling to the ground, covered in blood, and the corpses that rolled their eyes and looked hideous, and they were shouting and screaming in a mess, or shouting in anger to strengthen their courage, or scolding their comrades for their incompetence, or weeping bitterly and at a loss, completely unable to organize and resist effectively. The collapse of morale is just around the corner!
Suddenly, one of the people in the crowd suddenly shone brightly, as if a faint and bright fire was burning all over his body, illuminating a large area. There was still a little bit of seven-colored flash in the firelight, and it was strange to see each other and extinguish each other. Draw everyone's attention at once.
Then they heard a thunderous shout from the man in the firelight: "What are you panicking about? The mercenaries will come at once! Those who were not injured immediately went to the east and formed a defensive position with wagons. As long as they resist for a while, the mercenaries will be able to rush to the rescue. If you run now, will you ever run away with those kobold lizardmen?"
The sound really sounded like a huge thunderbolt in the ears, but it made people suddenly press down on the panicked heart, and everyone somehow became extremely calm—they only felt that life and death were small, and acting according to them was big. In an instant, I forgot that my life was hanging by a thread.
When this composure was settled, he immediately took the initiative and divided himself into two groups, one of which was stopped on the west to prevent the retreat, and the other who hurried to the east to pull the wagons, trying to form a defensive line with these carts before the ko-headed lizardmen arrived.
It was Dong Hezi who spoke lightly, and he didn't plan to mix too deeply, so as not to accidentally expose himself. But things have evolved like this, and we can't help but take action.
But he's a druid, and he can't use the Pious Shield to bless them with armor, nor can he use "Tranquilizer" to calm the crowd. I had to add a Tier 0 spell "Light Technique" to myself to attract people's attention, and I thought I was a neon billboard. It also uses the supernatural power of Lei Gongzhen to add many colorful electric sparks to the firelight to strengthen the "advertising" effect.
This trick really works, anyway, the druids and priests can use this spell, and no one will doubt it. So he made persistent efforts to use the voice with the effect of thunder to send the enchanting power containing the effect of "Secret Demon Treasure" into the ears of the guys, first break through the chaos and panic with thunder, and then use the opportunity of idle thinking to send all the effects into their hearts. Unintentionally, he actually did more with less, so that those guys immediately became soldiers who obeyed orders.
Of course, this is only temporary, if the mercenaries don't come anymore. When the two soldiers met, their minds would once again be dominated by instinctive fear.
But I am also helpless, if I use more abilities, it will definitely arouse suspicion, and then these poor fellows will probably become "contemptible" high-level people. So he had to use healing techniques to heal the wounded while looking towards the mercenary's position. If the other party can't arrive in time, he can't be too righteous, so if he sees that the situation is not right, he should slip away first - after all, it is more important to cover his identity.
The mage slowly descended from the high air, and after blessing his body, he could only see a strange light and shadow floating in the air, and he couldn't see the "figure" of the mage himself at all. The sound of chanting spells came from there, and he was directing the remaining bursting fireballs in his wand to bombard the kobold lizardmen approaching from the east. After this round, they will definitely be able to blow them to pieces, and there is no need for mercenary soldiers to help.
Fantasy is always beautiful, reality is always cruel.
A rain of arrows whistled and shot towards the "mage" in mid-air. A translucent mage shield suddenly appeared in front of the mage to resist the flying arrows, but it was pierced by a few blows from a javelin with a strong impact.
Seeing this, the mage hurriedly flew upward, until he reached a safe height, and then began to chant spells and cast spells, ready to take revenge.
The wonderful abacus was once again shattered by a rain of arrows - the kobold lizardmen actually had dozens of strong archers, and they gathered together, armed with crossbows, and shot at the mage's light and shadow. The dense number of arrows forced the mage to rise again, otherwise I really don't know which stray arrow will be shot.
If there are mercenaries on the ground who break into the kobold's formation to interfere with them, or use their bows and arrows to suppress their crossbowmen, then the mage will be able to safely cast a succession of spells and deal a fatal blow to the kobolds. But now only the mage is fighting alone, and he has suddenly become a live target. Not to mention striking the enemy, if the slightest drop in altitude will be fired upwards by a round of crossbow arrows that shoot far away, leaving them to stay at a distance in the air.
The mage floated high in the sky, gritting his teeth and reciting a spell to launch a burst of fireballs and smash down. This burst fireball is not very powerful, but it is expensive because of its long range, and it can attack outside the effective range of ordinary bows and arrows. This spell is an area attack that can damage a nearby target if it explodes. So several basin-sized bursting fireballs flew down with the mage's anger, as if they were going to kill a few blind guys!
But ideals are always far from reality.
Although the kobold lizardmen did not have a powerful crossbow to drive away the mage, they were extremely agile, and those explosive fireballs that shot from afar had not yet fallen, and they had long been noticed by these guys. They snorted and dispersed, easily avoiding the fireball bombardment area - this time, not a single ko-headed lizardman was hurt.
The kobold lizardmen immediately divided into two groups, one group of strong archers specifically stared at the mage, and as soon as he descended slightly, they shot a rain of arrows to block his movements. The other group launched a fierce charge in this direction, and the speed was even faster than the human heavy cavalry!
Dong Hezi was squatting beside the wounded, healing them and directing people to fight.
I have to admit that pastors are still very authoritative in people's minds. When the boss never returned, they faithfully carried out the orders of the "priest", as if he were the leader of the team.
However, Dong Hezi's relief did not last long, and just as he gave a loud order, a javelin suddenly shot at his face!
Instinctively, he tilted his head and avoided it. I saw the javelin "click" and shoot more than half of a big tree the size of a basin behind him!
Oh my God! If this force is shot at a person, even if he is wearing full body heavy armor, he may not be able to prevent it!
The ancient Chinese also had rumors of arrows falling into stones, but that was a special case and had the effect of a good bow. However, if a person's muscles can exert force in one direction at the same time, it can indeed generate tons of tremendous force. Some martial artists who practice Neijiaquan can indeed shoot their spears through a large tree with a single throw, which is what Dong Hezi has seen with his own eyes, and it is not false.
But people have practiced their own boxing all their lives!
Can't you even practice kobold lizardmen?
However, if you haven't practiced it, how can you have such amazing power? It can't be a innate divine power, right?
What's more, the speed of the javelin is not abnormally fast, but it can have such an effect, what is not the characteristic of the inner boxing?
He was still thinking about it, but he saw a figure that seemed to be a swift eagle sweeping from the ground, dancing two leaping silver rays and slamming into the charging formation of the kobold lizardman - it was Le Lin.
