Zhang Hong led the mage class to the location designated by Gandas. He secretly mobilized his mental power and prepared an instant shield magic. As soon as they got there, they would run away.
"Teacher Zhang, you look very nervous?" Tu Tianyu asked.
"That's not the case. You're overthinking it." Zhang Hong said.
"No, I feel... you are worried." Tu Tianyu looked around and said, "Are you being coerced by someone?"
Zhang Hong was startled and his face turned pale: "What are you talking about?"
Tu Tianyu moved closer to him and said in a low voice: "Don't panic, I have used the invisibility detection magic and the mental detection magic to check, there are no ambushing enemies around, where is the person who threatened you? Are they trying to divert us to do something destructive? I have prepared a warning magic, as long as you or others are safe, I can sound the alarm now!"
"Xiao Tu, there really wasn't..." Zhang Hong was about to explain when he heard the world around him suddenly go quiet. All the voices and sounds of the wind disappeared. Even the world around him became dim, as if everything had faded into a black and white photo.
Zhang Hong finally understood the effect of being in the concealing magic. No wonder the previous patrol team was so nervous. Without saying a word, he turned around and ran out as fast as he could, while Tu Tianyu behind him hurriedly released the warning magic he had prepared long ago.
Gandas's concealing magic cannot prevent matter from entering and exiting the barrier, so neither Zhang Hong's body nor Tu Tianyu's magic will be blocked by it. However, just as the red light emitted by Tu Tianyu was about to burst out of the barrier, a light gray magic power fell from the sky and hit the red light obliquely, dissipating it into nothingness.
Tu Tianyu retained the spiritual power used to guide the direction in the warning magic, and immediately felt the huge pressure coming from the gray light. It was more than the feeling given to him by his teachers Mao Kai, Luo Ling and others. He had only felt a similar degree of power from Master Gabriel.
"There are experts! Retreat!" Tu Tianyu asked everyone to evacuate the area first, and suddenly a red metal ball was thrown in from outside. Tu Tianyu didn't know what that thing was, but as a modern man, he instinctively made an association.
"Grenade! Create a shield quickly!" He immediately cast an instant shield and quickly began to stack shields inside the shield.
As early as when he left with Zhang Hong, he had some doubts and secretly ordered all the mages to prepare shields. So at the moment before the Flame Ball exploded, all his subordinates opened their shields in time. However, the power of the Flame Ball, an ancient magic item, was much stronger than ordinary grenades. The shields of several low-level mages lasted less than a second before dissipating, and then their bodies quickly turned into ashes. Several mid-level shields became precarious in one or two seconds.
"Everyone hold on!" Tu Tianyu shouted.
Someone responded in his soul: "Squad Leader, please teleport away! You are the only one among us who can do it!"
Tu Tianyu clearly felt that the energy released by the sphere was not a simple explosion. It was continuously releasing high-intensity magical energy. It was unknown how long this energy could last, but his shield could not last for more than a few seconds. In the soul connection, he felt his subordinates die one by one, but he could do nothing.
"Squad leader, hurry up, teleport randomly!" That was the voice of his deputy squad leader. A figure moved in the raging fire and blocked in front of him, buying him a second or two.
Tu Tianyu finally teleported himself out at the moment his shield was exhausted, but his body was already charred.
He opened his eyes and saw Zhang Hong standing beside him with a look of surprise.
Tu Tianyu was not stupid. Thinking about Zhang Hong's reactions, he knew that there must be something wrong with him. He hurriedly stood up and cast magic.
At the moment, Zhang Hong's face on the opposite side suddenly became ferocious. He summoned an ice spear in his hand, thrust it forward, and pierced Tu Tianyu's heart.
"You are a traitor..." said Tu Tianyu before his death.
"I'm not, I'm not a traitor! I just want to protect myself. Is it wrong to protect myself? Do you think you won't make the same choice? You just haven't reached my level!" Zhang Hong defended himself for a few sentences, and found that Tu Tianyu could only stare at him blankly. Then he realized that Tu Tianyu had died long ago. Everything he said was just a soliloquy without an audience.
He looked up and saw that the flames within Gandas's shielding magic had dissipated, leaving only ashes on the ground.
While he was in a daze, another concealing magic had already fallen on the guards at the entrance of the cave, and a massacre was going on.
The guards at the entrance were not comparable to the previous patrol team. Not only were they numerous, but they also included high-ranking warriors from Orgas's former ranks. However, they were also confused by the sudden shielding magic. In the chaos, although some people saw another flaming ball thrown close to the ground into the crowd, they were too late to tell everyone to evade it.
The flames from the flaming ball swept the entire checkpoint at the entrance of the cave. Ordinary soldiers and low-level soldiers were quickly reduced to ashes by the magic flames. The middle and high-level soldiers rushed out of the explosion range with their fighting spirit, but most of them were injured to varying degrees. Before they had time to catch their breath, they were attacked secretly by invisible enemies. Between the sudden attack of the sword and the fall of the sword, most of these soldiers were beheaded in one or two encounters. Only one Jiang Lijie did not run out, but retreated to the doorway. He flew out of the distance of the magic shielding and shouted in the doorway, "The north gate has been attacked by the enemy! Come to support..."
"You're causing trouble." Gandas shouted, and a stream of magical energy passed through the sea of fire and accurately pierced into Jiang Lijie's head, finally ending the harsh sound.
But it was too late. The shouting was heard far away in the quiet night. Although Jiang Lijie's voice came from the doorway, the sound of his fighting spirit passed through the barrier of the back wall and the gate, and was vaguely heard by people inside and on the wall.
Alarms sounded on the city walls and surrounding sentry posts, and many figures began to run on the city walls.
Gandas raised his hand and released frost, extinguishing the unextinguished flames. He said to the others, "We have been discovered, but we still have some time. All of you go open the gate and release the bridge. I will stop the enemy's reinforcements."
"Master, Zhang Hong is missing." Amigo said.
Gandas said: "Don't worry about him. I can feel my seal on him. Our mission now is to take down Blackwood Pass. Let's go!"
"Yes!" (To be continued)
