"There will be a new enemy soon, we need to leave here immediately!" Lu Yuan said, taking out the fireball magic staff again. Several people felt nervous and stood up and looked forward.
Lu Yuan talked about the information Nini found. During the four hours when the sword group was dragged down, there was a team of nearly 100 robbers on the north and east sides searching here. As long as they met with the escaped robbers, they would immediately pounce on them after getting the news. Lu Yuan took out a map and spread it on the package. This was a map drawn by Anne using modern methods.
The map shows this forest area, the main body is the sharp-tooth forest. On the east side, the mountain area is entered. On the edge of the sharp-tooth forest are some small pieces of wood - Raz Forest, Goss Woods, Pad Valley, etc. He drew a fork at the junction of Raz Forest and Raz Forest. "We are here, the Raz Forest is next to it, the Raz Forest is north, and the Pad Valley is south! The main force of the enemy is in the north. We'd better arrive at Pad Valley at noon, so we have better defense there, and we have reinforcements there."
"Reinforcements? Who are they?" The few people who were originally desperate were lit up and Chanem asked first.
"Flame Fist" Lu Yuan answered concisely, but Chanem and his men were relieved. In any case, the Flame Fist mercenaries at the Baldur Gate are the strongest permanent force in this area. They are also the cornerstone of maintaining balance and stability in the entire region. As long as the Flame Fist mercenaries can take action, no matter how many robbers are, it is no problem. Thinking of the red-haired Flame Fist officer, Chanem was a little enthusiastic. This time it was because of his excessive insistence on reconnaissance that everyone was trapped in the encirclement. After all, it was because of the female officer's encouragement.
"Then put all the heavy objects into the space bag as much as possible, let's go!" Chanem finally became mature. He skillfully gave orders and did not seek advice from Jahira and Lu Yuan anymore. Of course, no one asked if there was any such spell to summon horses, what was left in the mage's magic position. This must be a secret that cannot be told.
After putting heavy items such as metal armor and shields into the bag, everyone moved quickly towards Pad Valley. Even though Eimun, who had been exhausted for half a night, was gritting his teeth and letting Chanem move forward halfway. Danahei, who was exhausted, simply climbed onto Minsk's back and exchanged feelings with Xiao Ming.
The northern search team led by the killer of the Iron Throne, and the eastern search team led by the vice president of the Black Claw Mercenary, finally missed the best opportunity to surround the "Sword and Rose" group. They caught the escaped robbers and got the news earlier than Lu Yuan estimated. However, because the escapees deliberately exaggerated Lu Yuan and his strength, and Ruimon and Leken were both humans, they led the team with monsters as the main force. Although the two teams, which were both slow in decision-making and actions, successfully gathered together, they could only chase behind Lu Yuan and the others, and watched the people of the sword group run into the Pad Valley where the swamps were everywhere.
Although Pad Valley is known as the valley, it is actually a large area of low-lying forest wetland. The terrain of the canyon is conducive to ambushing - for example, there is a path in the middle that only one person can pass, which is convenient for surround; there are cliffs on both sides that just fall rocks; the hay in the canyon is three feet thick and can be attacked by fire; the enemy is so crazy that it is trapped in the Jedi without any reconnaissance... This really doesn't.
This is a large low-lying area, with only sparse jungles, mud ponds and lakes of all sizes. Even the swamps are not professional enough. Minsk struggled for a long time before he found that the swamp had just stepped on the ground without a waist. Lu Yuan and his team arrived an hour earlier and found a piece of "dead land" and stood firm and waited for help.
This dead land can almost be regarded as a small island in the center of the lake, but it is not the water surface, but a large swath of swamp mud ponds. Only two hard grounds with an angle of 45 degrees lead to this. One seems to be an extension of the hills, and the other is a line that naturally extends. The entire "mountain range" suddenly turns a corner here, leaving a small piece of land. The difference between the upper and lower reaches of the low hills is seventy or eighty meters, and there are several thick trees on it, with twisted roots and the canopy covering the sky and the sun. It is almost impossible to shoot up from the foot of the mountain. It is not afraid of the bows and arrows under the hillside. Instead, the threat of the bows and arrows on it increases greatly.
This place is easy to defend but difficult to attack. The only big problem is that if there are no reinforcements, this place will be a complete death.
Lu Yuan patted Xiao Nini, reinforcements... Maybe there were.
************
In the evening, when the enemy arrived, it had turned into a small maze.
In just four hours, the nine people in the "Sword and Rose" group basically recovered their combat power. Jahira, Danahei and Mu Xing slept for a while and urgently supplemented the magic and arcane skills. Except for Lu Yuan who had to come back, everyone else entered the "position" and hid themselves well. So much so that the bandits that followed did not even find their location in the complex wetland environment as soon as possible.
【Stone Plastic: Four-ring Spell. Sculpt the stones you touch into any shape, up to 10 cubic feet + 1 cubic feet/casting level]
After some time of battle and precipitation, Lu Yuan finally broke through to a level seven mage and mastered some four-ring spells, and the stone-shaping technique was one of them.
According to his current strength, this spell can give him the ability to transform 20 cubic feet of stones every time. With the support of his subordinate brain, his transformation can be as exquisite as possible. Perhaps this ability doesn't seem to be anything, after all, it's only 20 cubic feet, and what's enough to convert it to 0.57 cubic meters? A stone that is 60 cm square can be lifted by two people, and even children can crawl over...
But if a 60-centimeter stone is processed into a stone foam structure according to the process of metal foam and is firmly combined with the stone under your feet, it will immediately become a light and strong "city wall" that is 2 meters high and 5 meters long. This kind of city wall can absorb all kinds of huge impacts. A man like Xiao Ming can smash a "bubble" by hitting it with a hammer. Then the impact force of the hammer is absorbed by the broken bubbles, and the vibration is dispersed across the entire city wall, causing minimal losses.
Such a section of the city wall is enough for two ogres to smash it all day long.
The sixth section of the city walls are twisted and connected, sealing the two roads leading to the isolated island. The swamp is close to the mud on the island, front and back of the city walls and places that are not noticeable. The large stones that were supposed to be ordinary are now covered with sparsely spaced and neatly arranged three-inch long "stone thorns" that are shivering in cold light.
A level seven mage has at most two level four magic positions. But Lu Yuan relied on his abundant mental power to resume his casting and cast eleven intermittently! This has completely crushed the sum of other spell casters in the same team. Therefore, when he squatted on the tree branch with a fireball magic staff very vulgar and said that he could fight for another five hundred years, he was collectively rolled his eyes.
"Finally found them!" A human voice shouted. The indigenous people were basically accustomed to being humans and mingling with monsters. The world was divided according to camps rather than races, but Lu Yuan was so angry that his teeth were itchy. Especially when he saw the two humans leading the army of monsters, he was even more angry.
"Damn it! Traitor!" He gritted his teeth and cursed. If there was a high-level spell scroll in his hand, he promised to throw it over immediately! Unfortunately, he didn't. So he could only enjoy his mouth.
"You... want him to die?" Mu Xing, who was on the tree with him, pointed at the Black Claw Mercenary Vice President Laiken. She just heard Lu Yuan cursing at the man, looking very angry. This expression is really rare in Lu Yuan.
"Can you shoot?" Lu Yuan asked in surprise, but when he saw Mu Xing shook his head, he couldn't help feeling a little disappointed. It was only about forty meters away from the guy here, but it was firmly blocked by several stones.
Leken is a scheming guy. He would not be as stupid as the gnoll Brittik, but he only knew how to charge in a swarm. He walked near the island and hid in the stone to observe the surrounding terrain. Although there were many obstacles on the main path, unfortunately the time left for the opponent was too short. Now there are a lot of loopholes in the entire defense. He gathered human mercenaries together to command, allowing monsters who did not understand the complex commands to attack head-on to restrain the sword group and others to cut down trees. He was going to pave a way out of the swamp and then capture the island in one fell swoop.
Seeing their plan unfolding in an orderly manner, the monsters gathered in front of the stone wall to prepare for attack, but the sword group could only wait. The previous preparation was already doing their best.
"I can't ejaculate, but I can try something else." Mu Xing said, his eyes full of eagerness.
"Mu Xing, don't..." Lu Yuan said anxiously, reaching out to pull it, but unfortunately Mu Xing had already avoided his hand with a smile and jumped off the tree. Lu Yuan could only lean forward and lift the fireball magic staff. Now he still had eleven fireball magic. As long as Mu Xing was in danger, he promised to fire all of them in one breath! He saw Mu Xing quickly remove his backpack, sub-weapons, etc. and carry them lightly, and suddenly realized.
He searched for it for a while, and finally he could only take out a spare long sword, cracked it and broke it from one third of the blade, leaving a twenty-centimeter-long sword tip, wrapped it with a linen at the tail to count it as the hilt. Before he had finished preparing, he saw Mu Xing holding Nini in his arms, and the two of them jumped into the shadow together!
Nini is a shadow leopard. After adulthood, she can take her master to perform shadow jumping. Lu Yuan knew about it. But he always thought Nini was still young and this matter was far away. But just now Mu Xing was preparing, and then Nini also heard a message from him eager to try. He knew that something was wrong! In addition to the vice president of the Black Claw Mercenary, there were at least twenty mercenaries around! Besides...
There was no time to think about it. The moment the shadow disappeared here, the person appeared behind the huge rock. Before Mu Xing could come out of the shadow, two long swords had already popped out like poisonous snakes! When they were attacked, they were almost leaning on the huge rock to arrange troops. Mu Xing could be said to have squeezed between him and the huge rock. As a result, a level nine warrior, who had not even done a trace of resistance, felt a cold behind him. Two "sniffs" sounds, two swords were pierced from his chest and lower abdomen. He struggled to say something, but Mu Xing, who was piercing out of the shadow, slammed, and the two swords cut up and down, killing his last trace of vitality. Then he kicked his body at the stunned black clawed mercenaries in front, and she came out of the shadow!
The whole process was full of hares, but it was only a dazzling time. The situation turned around, and the vice president of the Black Claw Mercenary, Lekken, was killed! Among the two leaders of the robbers, Remon from the Iron Throne was just a killer, and his level of leading troops was not much higher than that of the werewolf Brittik. Only Lekken was good at leading the team to fight. Lekken, who was still strategizing and talking just now, died in a blink of an eye, and even the mercenaries and monsters present were stunned for a moment. He stared at the female killer who suddenly appeared, but he didn't know what to do.
But Mu Xing did not pursue the victory or escape immediately. She did a strange action similar to unbuttoning the leather armor.
Lu Yuan sighed, got up, and shot a fireball into the monster group!
Just now, his brain felt dizzy. It seemed like he was hit by a brick. As soon as he felt it, he knew that there was something wrong with Xiao Nini. Xiao Nini was still young. Although Mu Xing was only wearing a leather armored adventure suit and didn't carry anything except two long swords, Nini was overdrawn and fainted after jumping with her.
"Women will mess around!" Lu Yuan shouted and jumped off the tree. Then he was glared at by all the women, "Prepare to respond!" Mu Xing was only thirty meters away from here, but it was like a barrier. Lu Yuan rushed two steps, and a staff, the long pole of the dragon-footed wood bent like a bow, and shot him towards Mu Xing like a sharp arrow. The elasticity of the staff, coupled with the difference between up and down, Lu Yuan leaped violently in the air for more than 30 meters, flew through the area burning after being bombarded by the fireball, and fell to Mu Xing.
Mu Xing put the fainting little Nini into the leather armor to protect her. The original plan to jump back with the talent of the Shadow Leopard was not feasible. He could only shake his sword, flash two white lights, and kill the bandits. At this moment, he heard the strong wind above his head, and Lu Yuan passed over her and blocked him in front, but he didn't carry anything except the broken sword! He just saw the movement in Lu Yuan's hand flash, and the weapons in the hands of several human mercenaries in front of him fell to the ground in proportion.
Before she could think about what was going on, she finished reading the prayer while A Yuan had bought, and a white light landed on her body, making the tank-turned "summoning holy power" reappear! "Follow me!" Mu Xing shouted, crossed Lu Yuan, and took the lead in rushing up the mountain. At this time, the "squeak" sound of bows and arrows, and the two mercenaries in front were shot through the throat by sharp arrows and fell down with their necks. However, Qi Feng, who was particularly confident, began to shoot archery support.
Others were not sure, so of course the target was farther away from it to avoid accidental injury. Mu Xing's long sword circled, and two long rainbow-like cold lights, the two enemies blocking in front of him were cut in half! At this time, she, with a force of up to 23, rushed forward and attacked. Lu Yuan protected her behind her. After a few spells, a white light appeared on the palm of her left hand and slapped Mu Xing's back. The twinkling light covered both of them, and the speed of movement and movement suddenly increased by a huge margin.
The two swords of Muxing circled forward, and after the speed increased, no one could do it.
But behind her invisible, Lu Yuan held the half-cut sword and used the rapid "Thirteen Swords of the Divine Gate". Not only did he achieve the ultimate light skills, but also improved the "acceleration technique" of the three-ring spell, his speed and body movements were almost at the extreme. He breathed and returned in an instant. The enemies around him could not see clearly or grasp his traces. He could only see a ghostly figure flashing constantly, leaving behind mercenaries and monsters falling down with his throat.
A distance of more than thirty meters flashed in a flash. Before the enemy's large army arrived, the two men rushed to the city wall made by Lu Yuan. The companions cooperated to attack the enemy behind them. At this time, Mu Xing's effect of summoning the holy power was over, and she was a little weak. As soon as Lu Yuan held her palm, she understood Lu Yuan's meaning and did not resist.
Lu Yuan shook his arms with a breath of breath, Mu Xing flew up with his power, crossed the city wall, and was caught by Jia Xila there. When only Lu Yuan was left, he seemed to relax, waved his broken sword with one hand to continue to assassinate the robber, and began to guide the spell with the other hand. At this moment, a short sword quietly stretched out from the shadow of the wall behind him, slowly stabbing towards his back heart, almost the same as Mu Xing's assassination of Laiken! The short sword is still two inches away from Lu Yuan's vest, and the killer of the Iron Throne Ruimon stabbed the poisoned short sword in his hand with force! Since Laiken is dead, he can also solve this pursuit in the way he is good at!
Unfortunately, Lu Yuan's body did not turn back when he heard a sting. A piece of broken sword penetrated the mage's robe under Lu Yuan's ribs and penetrated the throat diagonally upwards.
"Hehe, how do you... know... I'm behind..." Ruimon insisted.
Unfortunately, he would never know the answer. Lu Yuan didn't even look at him. He grabbed and flipped back like his eyes. Ruimon's poison-tempering sword came to Lu Yuan's hand. He leaned against the wall and his legs bounced back, just like a rope pulling upwards, and his back floated up against the smooth stone wall. Then he gently crossed the stone wall and disappeared.
If it weren't for the purpose of seducing the person who had been invisible around him, why would he have to be so troubled!
************
Since the dragons were headless, the robbers simply returned to their rushing and rushing.
However, because of Lu Yuan and Mu Xing, the human mercenaries who were killed and injured the most were discussed, the remaining few left the battlefield and went back to bring rescue soldiers. In this case, except for those somewhat mentally retarded monsters, the IQ was normal, and the stalemate situation could be foreseen.
"You rest first, let's go." Danahei said, throwing out several condescending greasy techniques. Then he released a fireball technique in the middle of the enemy, and the fire started to burn. However, the enemy dispersed very quickly and the effect was not good. However, the sword group could not pursue it. Once it broke out of the range of the wall, the threat of the enemy's shooting would greatly increase.
In less than ten minutes, several people who were still resting picked up their weapons and joined the battle again. After the battle has come to this point, there is no more turnarounder and a clever plan. Only the word persistence is left.
"Don't worry! Our reinforcements are almost here!" As soon as Lu Yuan finished speaking, a large-scale commotion began behind the enemy's team. A white light suddenly shot into the enemy's formation, turning the bandits' attacks on the horse. Then a female knight riding a white horse rushed in with a pirate shield and waving her sword.
"It's her!" Chanem shouted in surprise. This was the female knight who stood behind the Wei officer and encouraged him. He was secretly in love with him. He was temporarily ranked third and threatened Mu Xing's second position at any time!
"What she is, that's my wife!" Lu Yuan said dissatisfiedly, and then spent ten seconds to throw a four-ring spell "IceStorm" into the densely populated area of the enemy. The huge ice cubes mixed with the blizzard and smashed it down. The ice and snow world became an ice and snow world for a while. The great spell cleared Anne's path of flesh and blood.
"She, why is she your wife again?" Chanem shouted in grief. At this time, Anne, who had already rushed to the nearby area, slapped the unicorn, and Ronaldo easily jumped over the stone wall. Seeing that everyone was embarrassed and tired, Ronaldo was a little bit of a horn, and a white ripples brushed through everyone's body. In an instant, the fatigue in his body was wiped out, the blood and mud stains on his body were also cleaned, and even the wound was quickly stopped bleeding and closed.
"It's really a unicorn!" Jahira, who put down the catapult rope and was crossing and slapping the muscles of his arms, sighed.
"You need help, so we are here." Annie said handsomely, with little stars blindfolded in her eyes. She especially admires women who can suppress Chanem.
"Brother-in-law! Brother-in-law!" Xiao Luo ran to Lu Yuan with joy and said with a congratulation, "Brother-in-law, do you think I am awesome? Are you handsome?"
"It's so cool, so cool, it's simply incomparable!" Lu Yuan patted her big head and made fun of it. Xiao Luo, who was teased, smiled like a donkey, and rushed out again. Annie, who wanted to say a few words, had to make a sorry gesture, waved the "Lake Light" big sword and turned on the harvesting mode again, and killed the enemy in dense places.
Under her sharp lake light sword, her hands, feet and weapons flew together, her brain and internal organs were the same. She really cut and cut and pierced, and she felt unparalleled in her hand with a dragon-slaying sword. The most important thing is that the quiet attribute of the lake light always allows her to observe the environment calmly and will not be blinded by the hot battle.
"Come on!" Lu Yuan waved his staff and followed the horse, and continuously used control spells. Mu Xing's two swords flew out lightning like lightning in the dark clouds, and the bandits who were controlled and had no power to fight back were harvested. Then there were Jahira and Aimun, who protected Danahei in the middle. Chanem, Minsk and Kalid broke the back, and eight people pierced in like wedges. The Wei Legion behind had also been surrounded. After half a month of bandit suppression, the combat effectiveness of the Wei Legion had already undergone earth-shaking changes. Now it was like a stone smashing into the water, smashing the bandits with more than one hundred people left.
When the time came to night, the bandits were finally completely wiped out. The two sides met together and everyone was happy.
*******
"There should be somewhere behind," Lu Yuan avoided the cheering crowd and whispered to Mu Xing and Annie.
"You come and prepare. If you persist for a long time, it's best to attract them all! I will bring new reinforcements." Annie hugged him and turned over to Xiao Luo. Lu Yuan saw her and explained a few more words to the Wei army officer, turning over to the unicorn's back, and said coolly, "Look at the dawn tomorrow, look east!" After that, he drove the unicorn and ran away.
"Then, that, there are still ten hours to dawn tomorrow?" Wei said in shock.
So morale fell to the bottom.
Lu Yuan really wanted to complain that it was Anne's line playing Gandalf... but he was also a little worried and really wanted to kneel down for her.
If you can't decide what to do, the few people who have agreed on can only start to assign tasks and continue to build fortifications on the island. This time you can plan it carefully.
PS: I am too busy to work overtime to write a plan.
Chapter completed!
