Cthulhu Gonfalon

Chapter 21

Views:

As a senior criminal gang that has experienced countless PKs and has never been wiped out, the Orc Wolf Riding Group is very experienced in small-scale group fights at the village and town levels. Even though the boss gave the order to attack, they did not shout "board" and charge without thinking. Instead, they rode wargs and rushed diagonally in front of the merchant group's defensive position, taking off the shorts they were carrying. Bow, shoot at Gerald who is standing at the front.

As a senior criminal gang, the Orc Wolf Cavalry is not only excellent in riding and archery skills, but also has extremely rich combat experience. They grasped the attack distance very accurately and did not even step into the area where Old Soth laid the trap. They launched an attack at a distance where the shooters of the business group could not effectively attack, achieving a unilateral attack.

Dozens of short bows fired arrows together, forming a rain of arrows, which looked really scary. However, Gerald didn't buy it. Apart from protecting his eyes with his left hand, he didn't even bother to block.

The orcs' archery skills were quite sharp, and most of the dozens of arrows hit the target. For a moment, it seemed that Gerald was about to be shot into a large sieve, and everyone in the business group was so nervous that their hearts rose to their throats.

However, there was only a crackling sound, like the sound of wood and stone colliding, and sharp arrows shot at Gerald's body. Not only did they fail to break the skin, but they flicked and landed one after another. It seemed that they had no effect at all. No.

Oh, it was not completely ineffective. Gerald muttered: "It's a little itchy..."

A little itchy, that's all.

Everyone was speechless. Sui Xiong felt that he could vaguely see a pair of low-hanging wings dripping with black water rising above the heads of the orcs, and also saw the system prompt "The morale of the Orc Wolf Riders is low."

Of course, it's just an illusion.

The arrow was useless, which made "Bloody Hand" Ruel frown slightly, but he didn't care much. He has experienced hundreds of battles and has encountered opponents in heavy armor more than once. It doesn't matter if he is not afraid of bows and arrows. He has plenty of solutions!

"Warlock, burning curse." He ordered in Orcish.

So the three orcs who had not participated in the charge before slowly approached on wargs. After advancing a short distance, they raised their right hands at the same time.

They all held short wands less than a foot long. The wands were made of the bones of monsters and engraved with similar magic runes. The top of each wand is inlaid with similar red gems.

There was something strange about this wand, and no one in the business group recognized it. But when the red magic wave lingered on the wand, the young mage Palin finally recognized it.

"Brother White, be careful! It's a wand with extended range!"

The spells in this world are not as powerful as those in the magical works that Sui Xiong read before traveling through time. It is absolutely impossible for the world to rise and fall and the air to rise in seconds. The biggest problem with magic here is the range. Because it relies on the mental power of the mage to designate the target, the range of most spells is only about twenty or thirty meters. Only ray spells that do not need to specify a target, but only need to specify a direction, have a range much higher than this distance.

Of course, twenty or thirty meters is not far enough, so the caster relies heavily on the protection of the warrior system in actual combat. Once the protection is lost, several high-level casters may even be named one by one by a medium-level archer with sharp arrows. , become a human target.

...Of course, if a spell caster does not retreat quickly when faced with losing protection, but has to confront the archer who restrains him, this kind of IQ is probably impossible to grow, and he has already given himself up in the process of spell research. Kill him.

In order to improve the problem of insufficient spell range, the technology of "spell range extension" was born. In order to popularize this technology that can increase the range of spells by two to three times, the extended range wand was naturally born.

The only use of this rather expensive wand is to add additional "spell range extension" capabilities to the caster. Although the price is atrocious for a single effect, it is a treasure coveted by practical spellcasters. Together with the "Armor Robe" that solidifies the "Mage Armor" spell, and the "Rescue Talisman" that solidifies the "Errorless Teleportation" spell, they are also called tactics. The three treasures are a standard set that any practical spellcaster wants to get together.

Palin's ideal is to be a respected great adventurer, which means that as a spellcaster, he must embark on the path of actual combat. Therefore, he also admires the three treasures of warfare. Although the range-extending wands used by the three orcs were of a special style and were very different from those he had seen in magic items shops, once they cast spells, he immediately recognized the unconcealable range-extending wands.

However, his reaction was still a little slow.

Hearing his reminder, Gerald was startled and hurriedly took precautions. However, at this moment, the three orcs had completed the spell, and three red rays of light shot towards Gerald at the same time.

The shooting speed of these three rays of light was not very fast. With Gerald's reaction speed, he would definitely have time to dodge. However, he remembered that there were many innocent businessmen behind him. Once he dodged, those businessmen who were just ordinary people would be hit. Spells are certain to die. I gave up this safest option and tried to resist these three spells with the big tree in my hand.

However, the positioning of these three orcs was very tricky. Even though Gerald moved very quickly and the tree was very large, it could only block two spells, but a red light still hit him.

This red light looks ordinary at first glance, but its power is very ferocious. The big branch that Gerald used as a stick in his hand was leafy and quite strong, but after being hit by two red lights, the green branches and leaves of the tree almost all withered and turned yellow in the blink of an eye. At the center, a tiny spark ignited, and two small flames exploded.

Even big trees can't withstand this spell, so what will happen to people

Ruel smiled, as if he saw the innocent and kind-hearted young giant being burned to coke, or being blown into a mess by the blood that instantly evaporated from his body.

That was his favorite sight, and he would never tire of it.

But this time he was disappointed. The powerful scorching curse hit Gerald, only a puff of green smoke came out, and a piece of skin was scorched on his left arm, and no further results were achieved.

"This spell is so vicious! It is actually extremely hot both inside and outside. Once you are hit, you will almost certainly die if you don't have enough spell resistance... He is indeed a professional robber, and his attack is a killing move!" Sui Xiong was slightly surprised. He never expected that a group of people were here. The robbers who robbed homes in the border areas actually have such powerful methods, "But don't worry, the magic core in your body has sufficient magic power. Such head-on spells can be directly offset with magic power, and it is nothing more than some superficial injuries. With you Your physique will recover in a short while.”

Listening to Sui Xiong's words and looking at the big tree in his hand that was about to turn into a torch, Gerald was completely shocked. He knew that the body His Majesty Oscar created for him was very powerful, but he didn't expect it to be so powerful!

It’s enough to be able to withstand a sword, but how can you even resist such a powerful spell? ! My physical strength is considered outstanding even among Warcraft! Maybe...even if I face a giant dragon, I can compete with it!

I am so lucky to have such a powerful and powerful God to protect me!

If you have reliable trump cards in your hand, you will naturally feel confident. Without saying a word, Gerald roared, waved the big tree that was transforming towards the torch, and rushed towards the orc bandits.

He was faster than a galloping horse and rushed in front of an orc warlock in a blink of an eye. He swung the tree and smashed it on the head.

The tree stick was smashed down, and a circle of white light appeared on the orc warlock's body. It was the "mage armor" that was said to be as protective as chainmail. However, under Gerald's heavy blow, this spell had no effect at all. It could not even survive for a moment. With a roar, the orc warlock and the warg he was riding were smashed to pieces. , becoming a fertilizer that nourishes the grass.

Seeing this scene, Ruel was so scared that his eyes almost popped out. His body reaction was faster than his brain, and he immediately turned the wolf's head and ran away in the distance. As soon as they saw the boss running away, the members of the Orc Wolf Riding Group immediately roared and urged the wargs in unison, fleeing in all directions. Gerald was stunned and didn't know where to pursue.

He is a veteran, but he is not a smart person. Back then, in the adventure team, I only listened to the captain. Later, I fled to Baiye Village and became the village guard captain. I only knew how to fulfill my duties and did not use any means to fight for power. The reason why he left a "cunning" impression on the old chief priest in the village was simply that his habit of loving to teach his disciples made him respected by the villagers, so the old man who liked to think about problems from the worst side thought that he was wrong.

Faced with this situation where the enemy fled in all directions as soon as they were frustrated, Gerald was like a hunting dog seeing a nest of rabbits running around in all directions. He couldn't help but feel short-circuited in his brain and unable to react.

"Chase the mage!" Sui Xiong ordered hurriedly. In his opinion, the most dangerous among this group of orc bandits are the three spellcasters. As long as they are all killed, the threat of this group of bandits will be greatly reduced.

Gerald immediately obeyed the order, stepped hard with his feet, and rushed out with the sound of wind. He soon caught up with an orc warlock who was running away on a warg, and swung the giant tree stick that had turned into a torch. Another blow to the head.

Boom!

There is another pile of messy fertilizer on the ground.

At this time, the third orc warlock had already seized the opportunity to cast a spell, and saw a ball of green energy wrapped around the limbs of the warg he was riding, so the warg that was already running fast started to gallop as if there was wind under his feet. , the speed was so fast that even Gerald was stunned. He tried hard to catch up, but found that the distance was getting farther and farther, so he had to give up.

"Your Majesty, I am very sorry, I failed to complete the task... please punish me!"

"Forget it, three of them killed two, which is not bad." Sui Xiong didn't care, "Anyway, the mountains are high and the rivers are long, and there will always be a time to encounter them again. They can escape for a while, but they cannot escape for a lifetime. One day If you do evil, you will be punished."

"Before that, you'd better go and eat your dinner."

Gerald sighed, troubled by his own incompetence, threw the big tree that had turned into a torch on the ground, stamped out the flames with his feet, and returned to the business group's station dejectedly.

Everyone in the business group saw that the hero who had returned from victory was so depressed, so of course they wanted to ask what happened. Knowing that he regretted not being able to annihilate the three orc warlocks, I couldn't help but feel filled with emotion.

The Orcs and Wolf Riders are notoriously ferocious. When everyone encounters them, they all think about how to escape. However, the real strong ones are completely opposite. They think about how to annihilate them all.

The difference between one day and one place is like a rookie witnessing a professional master's game with his own eyes. He is filled with admiration and admiration. Thousands of words can only be condensed into one sentence.

God, please accept my knees!
