It has to be said that the opportunity Andy chose was very good. At this time, all the mirror images beside Ryan had been broken by bows and arrows, so Andy did not need luck to guess which one was the real Ryan, and Ryan switched from sports to sports. Because the moment of stillness would make his reaction slightly sluggish, not to mention that the edge of Andy's dagger was completely black and hardly reflected light. When Ryan noticed the dagger, it had already flown. Ryan's throat,
Andy watched with hope as his dagger penetrated Ryan's throat. He almost shouted out in excitement, but he soon discovered that things did not go as he imagined. There was no blood or tragedy. Yelling, the dagger directly penetrated Ryan's body and flew more than ten meters before falling to the ground.
Andy was very strange. This was the first time he had seen this kind of situation, but he no longer had time to think about what was going on, because a ball of hot flames had already wrapped him in it,
"Ah." Andy stumbled out of the city gate passage. He only took a few steps before falling to the ground, and then kept rolling on the ground. According to common sense, if your body is on fire, you can use this method to extinguish the flames. extinguished, but today Andy saw too many unreasonable things. No matter how he rolled, the flame in Andy would not extinguish. Instead, it burned stronger and stronger.
Under the high temperature, Andy quickly lost consciousness. He lay on the ground, his hands unconsciously clasped tightly in the soil, and soon his whole body was completely swallowed up in the flames.
Ryan walked out of the city gate passage. He put his hands behind his back and looked at Andy, who was about to be burned to coke, with pity. From Ryan's heart, he was not willing to cause more killings, but there were many things. He couldn't help himself. He couldn't just watch the rebels capture Seawind City. What's more, who could guarantee that these rebels could treat the residents of Seawind City well? They did not hesitate to set fire to capture the city.
The sound of dull footsteps came from the passage behind him. Ryan did not turn around. He just flicked his backhand and a fireball flew directly into the gate passage of Sea Breeze City. With a muffled sound of "Bang.", the flames engulfed the city. The door passage fills up, then spurts out from the exits on either side,
Ryan didn't dodge, he just stood there, and after the flames flew less than one meter away from Ryan, he encountered an invisible wall and could no longer move forward. Wait until the flames After they dispersed, Ryan turned around, looked at the city gate passage with thick smoke, smiled and shook his head,
The sound of footsteps came from the thick smoke. Ryan waved his arm again and sent three fireballs in a Z-shaped formation. This time, the duller explosion sound completely covered up the sound of those footsteps, and the fireballs sprayed out from both sides of the passage. The flames even shot out more than ten meters away.
Near the entrance of the passage inside Seawind City, Ryan blocked the jets of flames so that they would not accidentally injure his companions and soldiers who were catching up from behind. On the side near the entrance of the passage outside Seawind City, Senat The rebel soldiers did not have such good luck. They rushed here in a hurry and squeezed in without any order into the city gate passage. However, they met with disaster.
Just these two explosions killed at least more than 200 people. The morale of the rebels was greatly reduced, and they had to slow down their advance. They huddled under the city wall outside the city and gave up the entrance to the city gate passage for fear of being attacked. An explosion spread, and the leader of the rebels was in a panic. Tonight's plan did not go smoothly. First, Andy's sneak attack was discovered, and then a magician came out of nowhere and single-handedly destroyed several people. Thousands of people blocked the city gate, making it difficult to move.
Seeing that the momentum here is getting louder and louder, I am afraid that the entire Seawind City already knows what is happening here. If the stalemate continues like this, by the time dawn comes, these thousands of people will have nowhere to hide. There is a large plain outside the city. They have no danger to defend and do not have enough supplies to continue fighting. Basically, the fate that awaits them is destruction.
He was anxious, but the leader of the rebels had nothing to do. He didn't have any large-scale siege equipment, so he couldn't use human ladders to climb up the smooth city wall. Although the walls of Seawind City were not very high, they were four or four. Five meters is still there, and over time, the walls are covered with moss, which makes climbing even more difficult.
If the rebel leader has enough courage, his best choice is to leave a few hundred people to guard the city gate and evacuate directly with the others, trying to get away from the city before dawn, and then slowly break into pieces and hide. whereabouts, returning to the secret military camp of his master Senat,
It is a pity that the rebel leader did not dare to make his own decisions at all. He only had one order from Raphael, which was to seize Seawind City. Whether it was Senat or Raphael, the most important thing for them to control their subordinates was to seize Seawind City. One thing is that he doesn't like his subordinates to act without authorization. He must strictly follow his orders, otherwise he will be sentenced to death even if he gets credit.
Although this kind of harsh method maintains the majesty of the superior, it also makes the subordinates lack the ability to adapt to circumstances. It may be very effective in normal times, but once something unexpected by the superior is encountered, it will This will lead to the current situation of neither improving nor falling: unable to advance and dare not retreat.
As time passed, reinforcements from Seawind City arrived one after another, and the mercenary guilds in Seawind City slowly organized themselves and went to the city gate area to help defend. In fact, it was not so much defense as It was said that they were enjoying a passable musical, but even if they wanted to participate, they couldn't get involved at all, because Ryan's fire magic was enough to fill the entire passage with scorching flames, and no one could pass through this death passage.
"ah."
"Wow."
"I, I'm not dreaming."
"This, this is the little magician from yesterday. I remember he said he didn't like theater the most."
"I understand. In fact, the real reason why he doesn't like going to the theater is that he prefers to be the protagonist."
"Look, that man is the one who single-handedly defeated the Double Ax Mercenary Group. Why is he watching the show and not helping?"
"Idiot, have you forgotten? You were at the 'first glass of wine' at noon yesterday, and you actually forgot such a classic sentence."
"Which sentence?"
"He said that actually he was just a walk-on."
"I see."
…
A large number of mercenaries watched from a distance how Ryan single-handedly blocked the rebels from the city gate. They kept talking while watching, and these noisy voices also spread to Ryan. From what I heard, Ryan didn't like being in the limelight, but he couldn't stop now, and Flanner also saw Ryan's current embarrassment. He frowned and quickly came up with a way,
Flanner walked up to the Seawind City army commander, coughed slightly, and awakened the latter from his "petrified" state. This was the first time for this Seawind City infantry commander to see such a strange war. In the scene, he and his subordinates stood stiffly on the spot, as if they were under the spell of "Petrification".
"Ah, hello, do you need help?" Because of Ryan's relationship, the commander was very respectful to Ryan's subordinates. He didn't know what kind of abilities the middle-aged man in front of him had, but he could communicate with such a A powerful magician travels together, so he is by no means a weakling in comparison.
Of course, Flanner didn't know what the commander in front of him was thinking. If he knew, he would definitely burst into laughter. In fact, among the entire Ryan mercenary group, Flanner was the weakest. He was neither He doesn't know any magic and is not familiar with the most basic martial arts. If Ryan hadn't made some magic scrolls for him, Flanner wouldn't even be able to defeat an ordinary soldier.
"Look, the situation is now under control. Are you going to let your men take over here?" Flanner's tone was very calm, without any condescension or bossiness. This made the commander feel very comfortable. So I also had a good impression of Flanner from the Lane Mercenary Group.
"Is this it?" The commander hesitated for a moment. After all, he saw Ryan making a big show over there, but if it were him, he would probably suffer heavy casualties. In contrast, this commander would rather be a Audience, as long as you guard the city gate and Seawind City is safe and sound, a considerable reward is essential, so why bother
Flanner noticed the commander's thoughts from the face of the commander in front of him. For this, Flanner had already thought of a countermeasure: "There are definitely no less than 1,000 mercenaries here now, plus your subordinates." Soldiers, look, another batch of reinforcements has arrived, I guess there will definitely be no less than 2,500 people."
"Why don't we cooperate with you and kill all the rebels outside the city together? We are no worse than our opponents in terms of numbers, and our morale is strong. Seawind City just pays a little gold coins and treats it as employment. The cost of these mercenaries has been paid, and you must also understand that as long as these mercenaries benefit from this matter, they will be more proactive in helping you and your army next time, right?"
Under Flanner's eloquent persuasion, the commander had fully accepted his proposal, so the commander asked his soldiers to shout together, drawing the attention of everyone present from Ryan's side Attracted to the past,
After learning that killing a rebel outside the city can get a reward of 5 gold coins, and capturing one alive can get a huge sum of 10 gold coins, everyone present was excited, even the soldiers of Seawind City were no exception. , thousands of people shouted in unison, and rushed towards the city gate in a chaotic manner. Ryan's flame magic completely lost its place in their hearts, and was replaced by shining yellow gold coins.
