The mountain road in the Red Leaf Valley is narrow and rugged, and it was originally a narrow path, especially after crossing the silver fish river beach, the forest in the mountain is even denser, and there is no road at all.
But because of this, the traces of the retreat of Ander and others were clearly displayed.
The weeds that were trampled, the branches cut off because of the fast travel, the bushes that were squeezed out, and the opponent left a lot of tracking marks.
Yake held a shield in one hand, a mace in the other, and a whole body of fine steel armor, rushing to the front like a heavy tank to open the way.
Right now, he doesn't have a shred of timidity in his heart.
Princess Anne's support, Link's destructive and powerful magic, as well as his own increasingly powerful fighting spirit and sophisticated equipment, have built up the courage in his heart little by little.
What about syndicates? Wasn't he chased by them and ran all over the mountain
Link followed him. In order to keep up with Yake, he blessed himself with a cat's swiftness, followed by Grindan, who protected Link's back. As an archer, he is not strong in melee combat, so he There is also a swift spell for cats.
The three of them advanced extremely fast.
Ten minutes later, Yake took the lead to rush to the top of the mountain beside the Red Leaf Valley. Standing high and looking far away, he fixed his eyes and saw a group of people fleeing quickly at the foot of the mountain ahead. They were wearing brown-gray leather armor, and The Syndicate thieves they had killed before were exactly the same.
"My lord, they are there!" Jake pointed forward.
Link also saw that the opponent was at the foot of the mountain, and there were 15 people. As thieves, these guys ran very fast, but the mountain road was difficult to walk, and they had to keep breaking the road, so the overall speed was not as fast as Link's.
Seeing the 15 people running away, for some reason, Link felt a little weird, something seemed wrong.
Looking at the opponent, 15 people gathered together and fled. Logically speaking, they should have fled after being frightened by his magic.
But the 15 people at the foot of the mountain escaped a little fast, but the feeling of being frightened and panicking was much less.
’ It was more of a retreat than a flight. 'That's how the other party feels to Link.
However, the situation should not be like this. Link put himself in the position of the opponent. He thought that if the arrangement he believed to be foolproof was easily broken by the opponent, even he would suffer a huge blow. Run all the way.
'Aren't these guys dead, or are there more than 15 of them, and someone else has set an ambush on the road? ' Link flashed various guesses.
As for ambush, Link is not afraid, the aura detection technique can easily point out the opponent's hiding place.
However, since he already felt that something was wrong, Link raised his thoughts. He looked at his opponent again and estimated the distance between the two sides. It was about 200 meters, and it was still a condescending 200 meters. Suddenly jumped into Link's mind.
200 meters, he has an absolute advantage in terms of terrain, and the distance between the group of thieves is also very small. In this case, his whistle can definitely give them a big 'surprise'!
'Since catching up is likely to encounter accidents, I will attack here directly! '
"Yake, keep chasing, Gridan and I will follow soon!"
"Understood!" Yake expressed his unreserved trust in Link, and rushed down the mountain like a tank to the syndicate thieves.
Link said to Gridan again: "You protect me."
Gridan nodded, drew out his dagger, and stood guard beside Link.
Link stared at the fleeing Syndicate thieves down the mountain, grabbed a handful of iron filings from his pocket, and the magic energy quickly poured into the flintstone staff. After 0.2 seconds, a hot metal spike appeared on the tip of the staff.
The metal spikes rotated at a high speed, whistling, and circles of transparent air ripples appeared in the air around the spikes, which was a vision of the interaction of diffuse magic energy, elements, and air.
Gridan on the side looked at this magic in awe. Just now, he witnessed the terrifying power of this magic with his own eyes.
Link squinted his eyes and stared at his opponent closely. His mind was highly concentrated, and he quickly calculated the magic attack angle in his mind.
For a moment, there seemed to be double images in front of Link's eyes. The most condensed shadow was the current position of the opponent, and there were many phantoms in front of him, which were their possible future positions.
Between him and the phantom, there is a long parabola, which will be the trajectory of magic.
This is very intuitive, and it cannot be Link's own ability. He has a clear understanding, and this must be the assisting spell casting function of the game system.
The game system is really easy to use. It not only provides free points for issuing missions, but also assists him in building magic structures, greatly increasing his casting speed, and now helps him correct the accuracy of magic attacks.
'I don't know what else this system can do. 'Link waits and sees.
The opponent was still moving away, Link didn't think too much, adjusted the release angle of the magic according to the instructions of the phantom in his eyes, and then released it without hesitation!
'Hiss~' The whistle let out a shriek, and flew away quickly, bumping into the robbers down the mountain.
The distance of 200 meters is too far. When the whistle flies 100 meters away, Link almost completely loses control over the magic. When the opponent is 200 meters away, Link can only faintly sense the existence of magic , Barely maintain the magic from collapsing.
This is the difference between magic and attacks such as bows, arrows, and muskets. With bows, arrows, and muskets, you don't need to worry about shooting arrows and bullets.
As for magic, its biggest feature is instability!
To maintain existence, one must rely on the constant maintenance of the magician. How far a magic can attack is related to the magic structure and super magic skills on the one hand, and the soul strength of the magician on the other hand.
Of course, the soul is already in the category of mysticism, and its strength is difficult to quantify, but with Link's current soul strength, maintaining a spell 200 meters away is already his limit.
At this distance, it is already impossible to control the flying direction of magic.
It can be said that whether this magic can hit an opponent 200 meters away depends entirely on pre-calculation.
Link believes that with the cooperation of him and the game system, he should not be able to make a mistake in such a very simple parabolic calculation problem.
at the foot of the mountain.
Ender was unaware of the imminent crisis. In fact, after getting the promise of help from the black-robed magician, he was not so afraid of the magician who was chasing after him.
That magician is strong, but there are equally powerful magicians against him.
What he has to do now is to escape all the way according to the plan agreed with the black-robed magician, and lure his opponent into the trap set by the black-robed magician.
When the opponent's figure appeared on the top of the mountain, Ender was not surprised but happy, because the trap set by the black-robed magician was halfway up the mountain. As long as the opponent followed all the way, he would soon taste the power of magic!
In order to rush back to support the black-robed magician in time, Ander deliberately slowed down his pace, only waiting for the opponent to trigger the magic trap, he immediately rushed back to make trouble.
'No one has ever made me so embarrassed, boy, you made an exception today, and when you fall into my hands, I will definitely make your life worse than death! ' Ender had thousands of ways to torture people in his mind, and he decided to apply them to his opponent one by one.
However, when this idea just surfaced in his mind, a voice suddenly rang directly in his mind: "Hide behind the tree immediately, immediately! Immediately!"
The voice was short-toned, familiar, hoarse and rough. It was a magician in black robe!
Although Ender didn't know how the other party did this, he believed that the other party would not harm him. He reacted very quickly, and quickly rushed forward, hiding behind a big tree with a diameter of nearly half a meter.
The moment he had just hid, he heard a familiar terrifying howl.
'Hiss~' was like a whistle, with a sharp sound, followed by a 'boom', and Ander, who was hiding behind the tree, saw a wave of air rushing past him, and the vegetation in the mountain was constantly swaying. He also heard intensive screams.
He glanced quickly, and saw a scene that horrified him. Behind the tree, the remaining 14 Syndicate Nightblades fell to the ground. Five of them died on the spot, and the other nine also died. Injured, 4 of them have completely lost their combat effectiveness, and are lying on the ground moaning continuously, only 5 of them are slightly injured, but they are lying on the ground with terrified faces, their faces are dazed, their courage has been frightened up.
The syndicate thieves saw that their opponents were far away on the top of the mountain, so they relaxed their vigilance and got closer to each other. The 14 people gathered together were actually just a small group.
As a result, the entire army was almost wiped out by Link's whistle magic.
No, the whole army has been wiped out!
Ander's heart was beating violently. Just as he was about to remind the injured team members to disperse, the voice in his head sounded again: "Hide again! The attack is coming again!"
Ender retreated behind the tree as if electrocuted.
As soon as he hid, there was another scream, and then another violent explosion. During the explosion, gravel and metal fragments flew around and hit the big tree, making a "crackling" noise.
Different from the previous magic strike, this time, after the explosion disappeared, there were no screams from the trees, and only silence remained.
Ander's heart sank, and he knew what it meant. It meant that the nightblade team he had spent so much to build was a thing of the past.
These people didn't play any role, and they were all buried under the terrifying magic blow.
"Magic, is it really that scary? Or is it that this magician is scary, and I offended someone I shouldn't have offended?" Ender's mind was racing with thoughts, and he began to question his decision.
The magic used by the other party was far beyond Ander's understanding of magic. Under the attack of the terrible magic, some of the energy he had just accumulated was once again destroyed.
