The ice crystal falcons carrying the polar cold lowered their flying altitude. At Yalin's signal, the five falcons used their own characteristics to blend into the snowy environment, intending to make a surprise attack on their prey.
When the ice crystal falcon had reached the range where it could see the opponent with the naked eye, Yalin vaguely felt that everyone in the escaping mercenary team had some magic fluctuations. It was obvious that the opponent had made preparations for battle and had prepared them in advance. Frost resistance spells and magic defense wards have been applied to the body. Moreover, the mercenary team was divided into three teams and moved forward intertwined. This not only prevented them from being massacred by the Falcons, but also allowed other teams to support each other when any team was attacked.
Could they actually detect the arrival of the Ice Crystal Falcon in advance
Yalin was a little surprised. Ice crystal falcons are high-level elemental creatures. Although they exude a very strong aura of water elements, the [Frost Storm Barrier] should be able to cover up these auras on them, and Yalin He also deliberately made these elemental creatures hide themselves, but even so, the other party could know it in advance!
Now Reilis has reached the edge of the forest with the help of this mercenary team. If she doesn't take action now, she will never have another chance. Once the opponent leaves the range of [Frost Storm Barrier], she will not be able to sense it anymore. Reached the exact location of Relis.
"There's no time to hesitate! Now that we've been discovered, we'll attack directly. We must kill Relis first!" Yalin gave the order to the summoned Ice Crystal Falcon in the Ice Crystal Hall of the Frostwing Hall.
The ice crystal falcon thousands of kilometers away began to speed up and swoop towards the mercenary team! A sharp scream instantly cut through the air, and a large amount of water elements gathered together to form countless sharp ice blades, which shot towards the mercenaries like raindrops.
The little mage rode on the horse and raised his staff and exclaimed: "Oh my God! Five high-level water elemental creatures, ice crystal falcons, came at once!"
"Stop screaming and maintain the magic barrier." The strong man Coleman held up a huge tower shield behind him and shouted at the little mage.
The water elemental ice crystal falcon is an elemental creature of the same level as the fire elemental giant Ifrit. Usually, a mage must have at least a level 17 magic level to summon a high-level elemental creature like Ifrit or the ice crystal falcon. , and even if the elemental creatures are summoned from the spiritual world to the material world, they still need to use their own magic power to maintain their existence. The more powerful the elemental creatures are, the more magic power they need to maintain. Usually, the magic power of a 17th-level mage can maintain ice crystals at most. The Falcon is in the physical world for half an hour.
After the first round of attacks, the protective magic previously applied to the mercenaries saved all of them, and the ground behind the escaping mercenaries was densely covered with sharp ice blades, making these People who have gone through hundreds of battles and live a life of licking blood every day can't help but feel numb!
Relis lowered her head and observed the huge elemental creatures in the sky in horror. The female mage had already sensed from the aura emitted by these high-level water elemental creatures that they must be sent by the mysterious man in the Yanold Mountains to hunt her down.
"Lower your head!" Maggie suppressed Relis' head and took out the crossbow from behind, and installed three red arrows.
Five ice crystal falcons surrounded the mercenary team, causing frantic air currents and swooping down from time to time, trying to disrupt the mercenary team. Some mercenaries used bows and arrows to try to counterattack, but the flying arrows could not catch up with the ice crystals. The Falcon is so fast that even if it occasionally hits, it cannot penetrate the hard body formed by ice crystals.
The Falcon swooped down and grabbed a mercenary, carrying him hundreds of meters into the air with the screams of the other party. Then facing the desperate mercenary, the Falcon swooped down and lifted its talons. The poor prey was thrown into the path of a mercenary team like a cannonball.
"Hurry up and get out of the way!" Coman jerked the horse's head to avoid his companions who were flying down. However, a mercenary beside him had no time to dodge and was immediately hit to the ground by both the man and the horse. The impact was huge. The two people and the horse were instantly torn apart, and red blood spread all over the ground like water mist.
"Latis!! Damn it." Coman cursed angrily as he looked at the miserable condition of his companion.
The team is now at the edge of the forest, and unfortunately, the place they are traveling happens to be on an open snowfield. No matter how fast the horses run, they can't compare to the falcon flying in the sky. Gerkat waved his hand to the team when he saw this. Turning to the forest not far to the right, the ice crystal falcon flying in the forest will be greatly hindered.
The mercenaries drove the horses skillfully, and the three teams adjusted their directions neatly. Their tacit cooperation was no less than that of the rigorously trained regular cavalry troops.
Under Yalin's will, an ice crystal falcon close to Gerkate rolled gracefully in the air and then swooped down desperately, ignoring the bows and arrows of the falcon flying towards him that had gathered on its wings in large numbers. water element.
Facing the ice crystal falcon that was inevitably swooping down towards him, Gerkat gritted his teeth and sneered, quickly pulled out the battle ax wrapped in black cloth on his back and said: "Interesting, let me see if it's your big ice..." Is it harder than my tomahawk?"
When the ice crystal falcon was about to come into contact with Gerkate, an arrow flew towards the falcon's forehead. Then the falcon, who originally thought it was just an ordinary arrow attack, lost its balance in an instant due to the explosion and twisted violently. He moved his body made of ice crystals to avoid an embarrassing fall to the ground. However, after completing this action, the Ice Crystal Falcon found that he had flown past the target.
After watching the Ice Crystal Falcon's forehead being shattered by the explosive arrow and losing the opportunity to attack, Maggie finally breathed a sigh of relief and adjusted the crossbow and shouted to Gelkate: "Chief, after 2000 Lien you go back." But it will be reimbursed!”
"I got it! Well done Maggie!" Gerkat smiled and waved, then took the reins again and accelerated toward the forest.
As an elemental creature, the ice crystal falcon's fatal point is the elemental core in the center of its body. As long as the core is not damaged, it can regenerate even if it is smashed. Water elemental creatures in windy and snowy areas regenerate faster than in other areas. The Falcon, which was injured after raising its flight altitude again, has fully recovered from its injuries.
The war horse made by Gerkat is a precious black horse with rare blood. Compared with other mercenary war horses, it is much better in terms of speed and endurance! In a short time, Gerkat had separated from the team and ran at the front and was about to enter the forest.
In the Yanold Mountains, Yalin vaguely felt that the mark of the power of ice was quickly heading towards the forest on the right. After noticing the other party's intention, Yalin immediately issued a pursuit order, and five ice crystal falcons He immediately changed direction according to Yalin's order and rushed towards the figure running at the front with all his strength.
Is he going to abandon us? Reilis was a little worried when she saw Gerkat's actions, but suddenly she found that Maggie behind her was still paying attention to the falcons around her, and was not worried about Gerkat's actions at all. Obviously, this maid The soldiers knew very well who their leader was, and there must be a special reason why the other party suddenly accelerated into the forest ahead.
However, before Relis had time to think about it, three ice crystal falcons quickly flew over her and chased Gelkate who seemed to be running away. For a moment, Relis acted a little strangely. These elemental creatures should be They were sent to hunt him down, but why did they go back to chase the leader of the Sharp Tooth Ax Mercenary Group
At this time, the running horse jolted, and Relis subconsciously used her right hand to grab the reins. Only then did she remember that she had lost her right arm. Suddenly her mind came to her senses. Relis suddenly recalled that she had originally planned to go back. After arriving at the Tower of Sages, he saw if he could recover his frostbitten arm, and then asked a high-ranking divine priest from the Holy See to re-graft his right arm. After his frostbitten right arm was cut off, he kept it on Gerkat's horse. .
However, Reilis knew that because she touched the mysterious man in the Yanold Mountains, her arm was in a strange state of being eroded by water elements and frostbitten. Could it be that these elemental creatures in front of her were caused by her right arm
Thinking of this, Relis shouted desperately regardless of her weak body: "Throw away my arm, Gerkat! Throw away my arm quickly!"
"What are you talking about!" Maggie looked at Relis inexplicably on guard.
Reilis shouted loudly, but Gerkat, who had already run ahead, seemed not to hear it at all. The black horse ran quickly. The moment it rushed into the forest, Gerkat quickly stood up from the horse. He stood up, jumped to a height that was unimaginable for ordinary people, and grabbed the branch above his head with all his strength. The black horse that lost its owner was still running forward quickly, and then Gerkat flipped and dexterously landed on the branch. He stood firm and took out the tomahawk with his backhand. The three ice crystal falcons just lowered their height and were ready to rush into the forest.
"Just three stupid birds came!"
When the first ice crystal falcon rushed into the forest, Gerkat jumped down from the branch, and the tomahawk wrapped in black cloth in his hand also fell straight down with the holder. The ice crystal falcon that was flying at high speed The eagle was unable to dodge, and the sharp ax blade that cut through the black cloth bit hard into the falcon's ice wings. Driven by inertia, with a harsh shattering sound, half of the ice crystal falcon's body was torn apart and buried. The elemental core in the ice crystal was shattered, and then the battle ax bit into the falcon's body. The remaining inertia of Gerkat jumped up and pounced on the second falcon following behind, grabbing it with all his strength. Feathers formed from ice crystals on a falcon.
The ice crystal falcon that had lost its elemental core immediately decomposed into a pile of ordinary ice cubes in the air and scattered down. The sound of breaking branches could be heard continuously throughout the forest, accompanied by large pieces of white snow and scattered ice cubes on the ground. After dragging out a long trace, he finally had to stop.
In the Ice Crystal Hall, Yalin also opened his eyes in surprise. In an instant, he felt that one of the five ice crystal falcons had lost its spiritual connection with him.
However, when Yalin was surprised, Gerkat's attack did not end. He twisted the wings of the second ice crystal falcon. When the opponent tried to rush into the sky, Gerkat had already raised his usual battle ax. The dark ax wrapped in black cloth does not seem to be made of metal, and the bloody dark light on the blade of the battle ax is like the bloody fangs of a ferocious beast. The ice crystal falcon instinctively gathered a lot of cold air in an attempt to freeze to death anyone who dared to stand on its back. However, the tomahawk swung down directly and irresistibly cut into the falcon's body, as easily as a hot sharp blade cutting through butter. , accompanied by the cry of the falcon, a beautiful wing reflecting the sunlight flew in the air. The ice crystal falcon, which had lost one wing, flapped its remaining wings feebly and circled and fell to the ground.
Gerkat had accurately grabbed a branch before the falcon fell to the ground and hung on it. Seeing the ice crystal falcon below struggling to repair its wounds, Gerkat let go and jumped down, inserting the tomahawk into the falcon. The center of the eagle's body shattered the dark blue elemental core inside the ice crystal body.
After confirming that the high-level elemental creatures were indeed dead, Gerkat took a deep breath. However, the battle was not over yet. Countless ice blades flew past from behind. Facing his two downed companions, the third one The ice crystal falcon cleverly kept itself at a safe distance from its prey, lest it accidentally transform from a hunter to a prey.
The tomahawk he waved accurately knocked down the flying ice blades. Gelkate was also helpless with the ice crystal falcon that dared not approach him. At this time, only 7 members of the mercenary group rushed into the forest. , looking at the body of the ice crystal falcon on the ground that collapsed and scattered, Relis opened her eyes wide in disbelief. Even her teacher Gretel would have to spend a huge amount of energy to deal with a high-level elemental creature like an ice crystal falcon. Despite his strength, the chance of winning was only 50%, but Gerkat was able to defeat two ice crystal falcons at the same time.
How can it be
Not only Leilis but also Yalin were quite surprised. In an instant, they lost the mental connection between the two ice crystal falcons. It was obvious that they had been eliminated by the other party. There was actually this king in the mercenary team who was better than the regular king**16. A super mage is even more powerful? Although the high-level metamorphic ice crystal falcon cannot exert its full strength because it cannot obtain sufficient supply of magic power due to the distance, the five ice crystal falcons still have extremely strong power, but it is impossible to kill them in an instant no matter what. Not because the seal was restricted to the Yanold Mountains, Yalin wanted to go to the fighting area immediately to check the truth.
The ice crystal falcon that was still attacking Gerkat saw everyone fleeing into the forest, and immediately broke away from the battle and joined the other two falcons. It is true that the ice crystal falcon cannot fly too high in the forest. If Ordinary mercenaries can easily deal with them, but with that warrior who is so strong that he doesn't look like a human being, Yalin is not far away from sacrificing the only two falcons anyway.
"The leader is okay!" Maggie carefully pointed the crossbow at the ice crystal falcon that was constantly circling in the sky, and asked Dougal Kate worriedly.
Patting the ice and snow stuck to her body, Gerkat waved her hand and said, "It's nothing. It's just that my leather armor needs to be replaced after I go back."
Just after I finished speaking, the leather armor was already covered with ice crystals.
"It seems that these five stupid birds are not able to exert their full strength. They are inferior in speed and defense, otherwise it will be troublesome to deal with them."
Maggie nodded mechanically, and Gerkat asked casually: "Is this the only one left?"
"Yes boss, everyone else is dead." Koman replied with a wounded breath.
"It's really bad! Six people died at once. It seems that the pension will be a lot when we go back." Gelkate sighed and said in a nonchalant tone.
The mercenaries gathered together, and the ice crystal falcons in the sky showed no intention of leaving. They kept circling back and forth above their heads, forcing the surviving mercenaries to remain on high alert.
Gelkate also glanced helplessly at the falcon in the sky and said, "Okay everyone, let's walk out slowly!"
