This flame magic arrow newly developed by the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce will trigger a miniature explosive array engraved in the arrow every time it hits, and its power is equivalent to the third-level fire magic.
Although compared to the eighth-level magic Blue Guardian, the power of the third-level fire magic is not impressive at all, but one third-level fire magic may not pose any threat to the Blue Guardian. Ten, a hundred, or even a thousand third-level fire magic When the power of magic is accumulated, it is a completely different matter.
Under Xu Yi's order, Hart and other guards continued to equip their magic repeating crossbows with flame magic arrows to shoot. The fiery red tail flames in the night sky were densely packed without stopping at all.
The seemingly endless fire magic arrows hit the blue guarding light curtain, triggering dense and endless explosions, as if setting off fireworks, constantly bursting out into the wilderness shrouded in darkness, a mixture of fiery red and light blue. Magic light.
At first, the magician could continue to maintain it with his powerful magic power, but after all, the magic power of a magician has an upper limit. Even if the magician is powerful, he cannot withstand such dense and fast flaming magic arrows. The arrows bombarded continuously.
The azure guardian only lasted for less than half a minute before it was bombarded by arrows and dimmed, and it seemed that it could no longer be maintained.
Because they were faced with such a violent threat of arrows, the cavalry team could only advance under the protection of a light curtain. The speed naturally became extremely slow. In this half minute, they only advanced less than fifty meters and could not even move forward. Didn't even touch the edge of the camp.
At this time, the light of the azure guardian finally began to flicker under the constant bombardment of the flame magic arrows.
Xu Yi snorted coldly, suddenly raised his hand and waved forward.
"Stab-"
An unusually dazzling electric light appeared out of thin air in front of Xu Yi, piercing the night sky like lightning and hitting the light curtain directly.
The light curtain shook violently, suddenly bursting into a brilliant dark blue light, and then disappeared.
The electric light penetrated the light curtain. Falling straight into the group of cavalry, a dazzling white light burst out.
The more than one hundred cavalrymen who were still maintaining a complete formation under the light curtain were concentrated by the electric light, and they were completely defeated in an instant.
A loud shout came out, and the remaining cavalry suddenly turned their horses' heads. But he turned around and prepared to escape.
Seeing this situation, Xu Yi snorted coldly and ordered to Hart: "Catch a few alive, and don't let the rest go."
"yes."
Hart took the order and went down, and the guards once again put on ordinary arrow boxes. Another round of arrow rain passed, and the few remaining cavalry fell again like rice harvesting.
This time, the ten elven guards who came to guard the place quietly sneaked through the darkness. Hart ordered the other guards to put away their magic repeating crossbows, drew out the short blades they carried, and rushed out.
Seeing that the ten elven guards had disappeared into the darkness. Hart and other human guards had also controlled the battlefield. Xu Yi nodded and returned to the camp.
Everyone in the camp had been awakened at this moment and were gathering in the center of the camp to talk nervously.
The difference is that the dwarves all look excited. Human beings are sometimes excited, nervous, and fearful.
Seeing Xu Yi return to the camp, a group of people gathered around him.
"President, how's it going?"
"President, is the situation serious? Do you need us to come too?"
"I said, do you still need to ask? If you don't see the president smiling, it must be fine. Right, president?"
"President..."
…
Xu Yi smiled slightly. He waved his hands and said: "Okay, the enemy has been dealt with. Don't be nervous. Let's go back and rest. We have to go on the road tomorrow morning, so take the time to rest."
"Is this solved? Is it too fast?" Everyone was stunned.
However, seeing that Xu Yi had no intention of continuing to explain, everyone discussed with each other for a while. They each returned to their tents.
As for whether they really plan to continue resting, Xu Yi has nothing to do with it.
After returning to his tent and waiting patiently for a while, there was a slight sound of footsteps outside, and then Hart's deliberately lowered voice came in.
"President, the battlefield has been cleared."
Xu Yi opened the tent and walked out. They saw Hart and Isos covered in blood.
"President, Isos and the others have arrested three people. What do you think they will do with them?" Hart asked.
"Interrogate carefully and find out who sent them here." Xu Yi gave a deep command, glanced at the blood stains on Hart and Isos, and asked: "How are our losses this time?"
"Three of the patrolling brothers died, but there was no loss to the others." Hart replied.
A trace of sadness flashed across Xu Yi's face.
Although Xu Yi had already anticipated that such a day would come sooner or later when he established the caravan guard, but when he actually faced the death of his guards, he still couldn't help but sigh in his heart.
After all, this continent is still a far less stable and peaceful world than the one on Earth.
After waving his hand to signal Hart and Issos to interrogate the prisoners, Xu Yi turned his head and glanced at the tent behind him, but found that he was not half sleepy. After thinking about it, he simply came to the fire in the center of the camp and sat down cross-legged.
Seeing the wood crackling and sparks flying in the fire, Xu Yi's heart was beating like a fire.
Although the attack at night seemed a bit calm in terms of the process and did not pose any threat to the entire convoy, this was entirely because the other party misjudged the protective power of the convoy and did not expect that the convoy guards were equipped with such a powerful magic company. Crossbows and magic arrows newly developed by the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce.
Under normal circumstances, the opponent's two hundred well-trained cavalry are an extremely powerful force. Coupled with a powerful magician who can support the eighth-level magic blue guardian, this power is even enough to destroy a small city. It was completely easy to deal with the New Flying Chamber of Commerce convoy with only fifty guards.
Such a powerful force would obviously not be ordinary bandits who suddenly appeared from nowhere, but should be regular troops sent from somewhere.
What Xu Yi is now confused about is who sent this group of cavalry and a powerful magician who can be regarded as elite even if they are placed in the regular military of the kingdom
Judging from the opponent's performance tonight, it is obvious that they intend not to give the team any room to resist.
But one thing Xu Yi couldn't be sure of was whether the other party planned to directly destroy the entire convoy, or whether it planned to rob it
After thinking for a while, Xu Yi found that there was not enough intelligence support. He couldn't get an accurate answer at all, so he had no choice but to give up.
"I hope Hart and Isos can ask something useful..."
Xu Yi glanced at the darkness outside the camp, where Hart, Issos and others were interrogating several prisoners, but what surprised Xu Yi was. He never heard any screams, and he didn't know what method Hart and the others were using for interrogation. ,
After giving up thinking on this aspect, Xu Yi began to think about another issue.
Tonight's sudden attack made Xu Yi feel wary.
He had been focusing on the development plan of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce before. Although he had been reminded directly or indirectly by Earl Satsuma, President Cruz, and Her Royal Highness Princess Sevigny to beware of anyone who would attack the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, he had always Since then, the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce has been developing very smoothly, which made Xu Yi gradually relax his vigilance.
However, the attack tonight reminded Xu Yi of a cruel fact.
After all, Sainz Continent is different from the peaceful and harmonious environment on earth. This world is more naked, and even the simplest and most direct violence will be used to solve problems.
Xu Yi wants to control all problems and solve them at the commercial level, but others don't think so.
"To put it simply, I am so naive..." Xu Yi sighed and smiled to himself.
He turned around and glanced at it, which was placed next to the camp. Seeing the bodies of the three guards covered by cloth, Xu Yi's eyes narrowed slightly.
Maybe... it's time to change your mind.
After waiting quietly by the fire for a while, a guard came over and told Captain Xu Yihat to invite him over.
Xu Yi followed the guard outside the camp and saw Hart and Issos who had finished interrogating them. Looking at the strange expressions on their faces, he knew in his heart that they must have come up with a very unexpected result.
"How is it?" Xu Yi asked.
Hart and Isos looked at each other. Both of them had very solemn expressions. Hart paused, approached Xu Yi, and replied softly: "President, these guys who sneaked up on us... are from the Greedy Wolf Legion from the Kingdom of Sark."
"Sark Kingdom?" Xu Yi looked at the two of them in surprise, with a look of disbelief on his face. "How is this possible! This place is a full two hundred kilometers away from the border between the two countries. How could the army of the Sak Kingdom break into such a deep place on the border and launch a night attack on our convoy?"
Hart shook his head with an ugly face: "I don't know what happened specifically. But according to the prisoners' answers, they followed the command and set off after receiving the order this morning, without encountering any obstacles along the way. They launched a raid on our convoy at night.”
"Didn't encounter any obstacles?" Xu Yi narrowed his eyes. He glanced at Hart and groaned: "Hart, tell me, what is the defense range of the Zhenbei Army?"
Hart smiled bitterly and replied: "President, although the Zhenbei Army nominally needs to guard the entire northern border of the kingdom, the strength of the Zhenbei Army is limited, and it is impossible to send troops to guard every place. Therefore, except for the Muerto Mountains, Outside of this most important section of the border, the rest is mainly the responsibility of the border cities themselves.”
"I understand." Xu Yi asked for the forced confession record from Hart. He looked at it carefully, but didn't see much of value. "The prisoner said that they followed the command to sneak in, but where was the person who commanded them?"
Issos shook his head: "I'm sorry, President, there is a magician and a knight who are very powerful, but we failed to capture them. I think they should be the commanders of these cavalry."
Xu Yi nodded, not blaming Issos. After all, from the short battle just now, the magician had already shown strong magical strength.
If such a powerful magician is determined to escape, it will be extremely easy to cooperate with a strong warrior, and it will be almost impossible to catch them.
Looking through the confession report in his hand again, Xu Yi thought for a while, handed the confession report to Hart, and said in a deep voice: "Hart, I will give you a freight magic motorcycle. You choose a few guards to take the prisoners and This report will be escorted back to Bangta City and handed over to Her Royal Highness Princess Sevigny."
Hart was stunned for a moment and glanced at Xu Yi doubtfully, but he didn't ask any more questions and agreed in a deep voice.
But after thinking about it, he couldn't help but said: "President, if I take a few more guards with me, will the convoy's defense strength be insufficient? What if someone comes to sneak attack again..."
"No. Tonight's attack failed. It is impossible for the other party to organize the same attack again in a short period of time. The cost would be too high and they cannot afford it. Just follow my instructions and hand over these things. Give it to Her Royal Highness, Her Royal Highness knows how to arrange it.”
Hal hesitated for a moment and then asked: "What about the battlefield here? It wouldn't be good to put so many corpses here..."
Xu Yi sneered: "Don't worry, someone will naturally arrange things here, so we don't need to worry."
