Chapter 32: Lost ......
"Shield warrior step forward!" Chrissy's loud voice sounded like thunder in the almost insane "squeak" of the rat-man on the other side, "If anyone dares to escape, I'll let him run ten laps around the lake when I get back to camp!"
Thinking about the ridiculously large lake that could make the magic crystal cannon with the longest range unable to hit the target on the opposite shore, a group of warriors walked to the front of the team with shields and cold sweats.
Chrissy continued: "Very good. Now the kitchen knife stands in the second row, and the long-range DPS and the nurse lean back! At this time, pay attention to the old lady, and she falls to the ground, but she doesn't care about pulling it!"
[You're on the stage, right!?You're definitely on the stage!?And we're just facing a group of miscellaneous soldiers, right?Don't you look like you're ready to push the boss!]
"Stay in formation!" Chrissy shouted with her hands raised, "Wait a minute, we'll push forward like this, and then push straight to the gray rats' house...... What? How is this possible!?"
Originally very timid, even if they gathered a large group of rat people who would have turned into a big collapse if they were shocked by the slightest shock from any adventuring team, they were now holding aloft and all sorts of weapons that made one wonder if they usually made a living by picking up garbage, and they should have been sent to the garbage disposal plant - if they really thought those things could hurt people, and launched a charge against a large group of players who were obviously level 1 but each of them was elite.
"Okay, who's blaming it? We haven't had all the buffs yet. Alicia said helplessly.
"Buff your sister!" Chrissy angrily spit out the chocolate bar in her mouth, "When I go back, I must tie up the guy in charge of the monster information at each trial site and hang him in the air and whip him a hundred leather whips! These rats must have been strengthened by some evil force, otherwise they wouldn't have taken the initiative to attack."
Damn, this kind of thing happened. Warriors prepare for melee combat! Ranged attention, three, two, one, free attack!"
Alicia raised her house staff and threw a string of wind blades at Chrissy's command.
And next to her, the primary magic of the four elements also exuded a rainbow of colors and flew forward. There, gray waves are surging in front of you. The nezumi had no good defense against any damage other than the fur that could withstand blunt blows, and the damage caused by this large string of primary spells was very considerable, directly clearing the gray waves, like a group of charging infantry encountered a bombardment of rocket artillery.
In this world dominated by cold weapons, there is obviously no such concept as a straggler, and even if there is, it will not appear in the head of the rat man. So the only thing they can do is to fill the gap by quantity and then continue to rush.
And this just hit the weakness of the students - these freshmen are not rich in magic reserves, and after two months of study, being able to cast elementary spells is already taught by Chrissy. After intensively casting spells, these blue-draining mages began to appear collectively dumb fire......
"When I go back to the Academy, everyone in the magic department gives me an extra 30 minutes of meditation every day!" Chrissy said with an ugly face, and then she glanced at Alicia, who was still happily throwing the wind blade, and Cecilia, who was wielding the staff that was obviously very precious from her ancestors, but which had been completely decorated by its owner with something like a golden star, and had been completely crippled into a humanoid turret, "except for those two." β
"Hey, mercury lamp. We're the only ones left in the distance, Cecilia and me, plus a few archers led by Moon Song, so would you like to help?" said Alicia as she turned to the mercury lamp holding the yogurt bottle on one side.
"What do you think of a powerful move that is about level 5 spell level guarantee, which can completely destroy those big rats with one blow and attach the cave collapse?"
β...... Do you have a heart?"
"No, I did it on purpose. Forget about your friends, do you really plan to let me cast high-level spells in front of everyone?"
"It's true that the level of alchemy in this world is not that high, and it would be too conspicuous for you to do this. Alicia pinched the face of the silver-haired doll, "Okay, I'm not going to ask you for help, but I'll have to trouble you if Mentor Chrissy can't hold back the scene." Although this is unlikely to happen. β
The mercury lamp snorted, noncommittal. ,
"Prepare for a close fight!" Chrissy was still only in command, showing no signs of making a move. With this command, the sound of metal grinding against each other echoed in the front row. The fighters spontaneously formed close formations, ready for the first enemy impact of their careers.
Then they saw Norman, the super-hunky man with his staff, wearing cloth armor, roaring over his head and charging straight into the nezumi ranks. Countless gray-haired rats then flew around the sky like crude toys everywhere Norman passed...... Well, in fact, it was a natural warrior with the name of a mage, but he was in the wrong class in the first place.
Norman's actions caused great confusion to the nezumi, and it was undoubtedly a terrible thing to have such a bipedal tank run over them head-on in this terrain that could not be fully deployed. The nezumi charge was disrupted, and the scattered onslaught didn't cause much trouble for the shield warriors who were on the front line. The large pieces of garbage in their hands were reduced to shards on metal or leather shields, and then continued forward under the push of their classmates, receiving a warm welcome from the various weapons of the humans on the other side.
The terrible screams of rat people and the cursing of humans echoed through the caverns. Blades cut through fur and flesh, fangs and claws tore through unprotected skin, and hot blood splattered in all directions, leaving paintings of gothic horror on the walls in ghostly light.
All right...... The book finally saw the uncensored blood.
When a stinky sticky hot blood of unknown unlucky guy slammed into Alicia's face at a high speed, she realized that this was not a game, nor was it a 3D blockbuster. All of this is happening in front of you, and there is no LoadGame option and you won't be refunded. The adventure of fighting monsters is not as romantic and legendary as imagined, but full of danger, gore and death.
If little Lori used to regard otherworldly life as a game, or she was a bystander who stayed out of the matter, now she is completely sober.
If you are careless in the face of the enemy, you will die!
Although it was not easy for her godlike body to kill her...... However, the friends and classmates around her who get along day and night do not have the cheating physique like her, and they are all very fragile.
When some of the nezumi began to try to climb the wall to bypass the front row of warriors' lines and raid the armored profession in the rear, Chrissy finally threw several stone wall spells between the nezumi and the team, temporarily blocking their follow-up troops. But it was too late, and the rats had already completed their strategic deployment: another small group of ratmen appeared on the path the party had passed when they came, intending to explode the chrysanthemums directly.
"You still know how to play tactics?" Chrissy suddenly oozed a fine sweat on her forehead, "They must have evolved into the Rat King! Damn, this time it's really a big game...... Hey, I'm in charge of maintaining the front here, which of you is going to the back to organize a defense? Hurry up, don't be awkward, now is not the time for you to be arrogant and cute!"
"I'll go. Sophia raised her hand to nominate herself, and after getting Chrissy's approval, she began to roll out names, "Elijah, Li Huayin, Batru, Granna, you are in charge of the front line." Yuege, you take these archers to be responsible for long-range. Michelle, you're in charge of the treatment. Mentor Chrissy, I've borrowed it, Elicia?βChrissy hesitated for a moment and nodded) Alicia alright, Alicia, you and the mercury lamp are coming with you. β
Sophia then summoned a dozen or so of the boys who had run out of magic as a reserve, and rushed to the rear of the group with the blocking teamβthey could already smell the stench of the rat men who were eager to pop the chrysanthemums for the humans.
Sophia's intention was for Alicia to be a strong and stable DPS to suppress the opponent, but she only had to look ahead to know that the plan was going to be ruined, as the nezumi were already less than 20 meters away from them. Little Lori's wind blade didn't take long before it had to stopβa mouse face appeared in front of her. After all, there are only four people who can really be called a melee class, and those male mages are all made up. They should be thankful that they weren't defeated in the face of the superior number of nezumi, and it's really just a luxury and not a reality to stop each other or something.
The mercury lamp had already raised the feathered Western thin sword to protect Alicia, but unfortunately there were other students nearby, and she couldn't put any big moves, so she could only rely on her sword skills to knock the approaching rat people to the ground one by one. ,
"Do you have any good ideas?" said the mercury lamp after knocking away the nezumi who was showing off her appearance in front of Alicia, "This is just a scuffle, and it won't be good for ordinary students if it drags on for a long time." β
"If I take out two Colt M1911s, it will be solved in a matter of minutes. Alicia was at a loss for words, "But the question is how do I explain these two out-of-spec weapons in the future? β
"You can use it if you want, where are you so worried?Even if you are targeted by the three major empires, isn't there still your cheap brother to support you?" Mercury Lamp's eyes were full of contempt, "It's a big deal that you have a magical girl transformation, and then push down a few cities, and then I don't think anyone will come to you for trouble." β
"May I ask if my character is set to be a villain BOSS?"
"No, you're the boss's black-haired dog-headed military advisor with the appearance of Lori. β
"I said, we're in a fight, right? Why did it turn into a weird situation of complaining to each other?"
"Because the author's discipline has long been thrown in the trash. β
Suddenly, Ilya's cry of pain interrupted the two of them's routine. When Alicia turned her head to look, she realized that it was Elijah who had been slammed in the arm by a vicious nezumi in order to protect the powerless Michelle......
Took a bite.
"Will he be infected with the plague?" asked Alicia with a calm expression.
"I think he should have had a tetanus shot first. The mercury lamp also looked calm.
But Sophia wasn't as calm as they were. Although the light of a few people's fighting spirit almost blinded countless yellow kryptonite rat eyes, and the nearby rat people also fell down in pieces like ears of rice, it was impossible for them to block all the rat men. A large group of gray-haired rats got in and began to attack the students in the back row, many of them were wounded, and the formation was crumbling, and it could collapse at any moment.
"Alicia, you retreat one after another, and then use spells to suppress the nezumi. Sophia said anxiously under the protection of Yuege and a few other archers, "The others waited until the spell suppression began and then slowly retreated. β
"It's useless to retreat!" said Alicia, "I can't suppress them so much that they can't rush up. As soon as they come, it will evolve into this situation. β
[I should have learned a few practical group killing spells if I knew it.] γ
"But it can drag on for time. Sophia tried to convince Lori, "After the main force on Mentor Chrissy's side finishes out the other party, we will naturally have reinforcements coming." β
"Let's not talk about it in case they get entangled and can't get out, how long do you think everyone can hold out in this situation?" Xiao Lori pointed to the few boys in front of her who were covered in blood and said, "They are not soldiers!
Sophia was silent, her original plan was to sacrifice a few people in exchange for time. Otherwise, if the defensive line here collapses, there will be more casualties. It was cruel, but she was ready to do it.
If it weren't for Alicia's next move to leave her stunned.
[Damn, where are these rat people cowardly? Their desperate way to bite you is no different from a mad dog!...... Mad dog? I'm dizzy, why did I only think of such an interesting idea now?]
Alicia shouted while casting spells under the cover of the mercury lamp, "Sophia, you hurry up and find a few mages who can also perform earth wall magic, I have a hurry! Maybe it's up to them if we can stop it this time." β
Although it was a little inexplicable, Sophia did it out of trust in Alicia. Two girls with pale faces and almost exhausted magic power were quickly taken to the front line.
"Very well, I'll cast the earthen wall spell a little bit in front of the boys who are about to hang up. My request was for two earthen walls to seal the mine, leaving a small door in the middle that could only pass through one person at a time. Yuege, you and I will stare at the door for a while, and the others will save those boys to the back for treatment. Alicia took a breath and shouted, "Now!"
The earthen wall appeared in response. The rats who were separated were indeed as Alicia had guessed, and they scrambled in one after another through the small door that had been deliberately left behind - and then were quickly knocked down by the unscrupulous little Lori and Yuege.
The most shameless, obscene, and undisciplined tactics in the history of Zhuoerlivan even lost the lower limit of the intersection blocking tactics ......made a shining debut.
Alicia didn't have to look back to predict that the ground behind her must be full of sparkling shards of glasses.
After clearing the room, the chairman saw that there was nothing to do, so he even found a flat stone and spread out a cloth on it, and laid out black tea and pastries: "Does anyone want to taste the dessert before dinner?"
"If you're really idle, just swap with me!" Alicia shouted dissatisfiedly at the doll.
The chairman took a sip of black tea elegantly, and the birds didn't bird her.
Sophia stopped the situation from developing in a nonsensical daily direction in time, she wiped the sweaty hair on her forehead and let out a long breath: "Okay, we'll rotate you when everyone's magic recovers." Alicia, how did you come up with this idea?"
β......β
"No comment?"
"No, actually, I don't know how to say it. β
"Forget it. But thanks to you today, it's really a long insight. β
Alicia burst into tears. She couldn't tell her that this was a skill she had learned from a human playing cockroach game in outer space!
=============================I'm ================================ dividing line
In Elicia's expectation, the few people outside the earthen wall had enough strength to hold out until the large army came while relying on the terrain to defend the formation, didn't they see that the only nurse here, Michelle, was also there. As for the favorable terrain, there are not many other narrow forks in the road here, and any one of them can be staged in a bloody drama.
But little Lori definitely didn't expect this kind of thing to happen.
"What is this?" asked Chrissy as she bit into the chocolate bar, twitching out of the corner of her eye.
Alicia stroked her forehead and said speechlessly: "This is a teleportation array that should have been scrapped many years ago, and then under the arrangement of that unscrupulous author, it deliberately broke out today and teleported away with the five people who entered here. God knows where they're wandering around right now. β
The above is the conversation between Chriss, who successfully left the battlefield and turned back to support, and led a large army to search for the five-person team left outside the earthen wall by Alicia along the strange corpses of the nezumi people on the road, but the people did not find it, but found a magical teleportation array at the end of a dead-end path that should have been recycled.
Alicia could even imagine the crowd of people who had fought and retreated under the persecution of the large group of nezumi to come to this place to defend it, and then when the nezumi temporarily retreated to find a place to rest, they found this embarrassing scene of the teleportation array that should have been exhausted a hundred years ago, and then regained its enthusiasm and youth under the curious caress of a certain natural anode - although this teleportation array is now ignored by no one. Then she had to come to terms with the fact that the five-man squad and the large army were lost......
To make matters worse, everyone except Batru is her friend - maybe one of them should be called Himeyu?
Chrissy took a hard breath and made up her mind: "Turn back, let's go back to the camp to rest!"
Chasi in the back couldn't help but become anxious when he heard this: "Are you going to give up on them!?"
"There's no way I'm putting more students in danger because of them. Chrissy said in a very soft tone this time, "I have to be responsible for the other students." I'm sorry, everyone is tired now, we can only go back and rest for the night and come back tomorrow to look for them. β
"They don't have any supplies on them right now, and there's probably a nezumi wandering around!" Chasi shouted.
"I'd love to go and get those troublesome souls out into the camp right now!" Chrissy roared angrily, "but I can't leave my defenseless students in the field and go in alone to find someone!"
"Then I'll go. Alicia spoke suddenly, and then she asked the mercury lamp, "How's it going?"
The mercury lamp jumped down from the teleportation array: "Fortunately, you can barely teleport once after emergency repairs, but the teleportation target can only be an adult, and no more will work." And after this teleportation, this thing is completely useless. β
"That's fine, you come with me. Alicia walked to the center of the teleportation array.
Chrissy frowned: "If I didn't hit you, what could you do if you went?Although your talent is very high, you are already a level 2 mage now (Alicia doesn't know level 3 spells, so Chrissy misunderstood), but after such a long battle, you don't have much magic left, right?"
Alicia raised the space bracelet on her wrist, "I have food and water here that they desperately need, and some healing potions in it." With my logistics warehouse, we can hold out for at least a few days, right? Maybe we'll be able to find our way back on our own. And...... Who called those fools my friends?"
Sophia pondered for a while before looking up and saying, "This is the most effective way at the moment." Mentor Chrissy, so be it. Alicia, I'm sorry I can't go with you. Well, be careful. By the way, didn't you just say that you can only teleport one adult? Then you and the mercury lamp are two people, although they are a little smaller. β
Little Lori didn't speak, she just hugged the chairman - under the embarrassed gaze of the thunder above everyone's heads, everyone immediately understood......
The space occupied by these two girls is not as good as an adult!
