The attack happened suddenly, and no one could realize what kind of attack it was.
Even experienced mercenaries who have been attacked by various fierce men (or beasts) will be stunned when they are hit on the face by an explosive fireball without magical fluctuations. The momentary bewilderment caused the situation to get out of control in their hands.
"Enemy attack!"
The mercenary leader wearing a half-body armor roared hissingly at the first time, and then activated his protective aura without delay, while the surrounding mercenary companions quickly turned around after hesitating for less than half a beat. Direction of the attackers The attackers had emerged from the woods.
A small mercenary leader with a knight rank first saw the appearance of the attacker. He saw several soldiers wearing strange light armors stepping out of the woods. The large armguards, carrying a marching rucksack on the battlefield, seemed to have no common sense and combat effectiveness. He couldn't help but feel ridiculous. The flashy armguards that showed a sense of presence could only affect the balance of the body in melee combat. The backpack is a sign of lack of combat experience: this kind of thing should be removed before the battle begins!
Of course, what really made him despise those strange soldiers was that he didn't feel the slightest fluctuation of magic power from those enemies.
Ordinary people, wearing strange equipment, want to fight against superhumans
However, considering the two weird magic explosions before, the mercenary knight was worried that there were spellcasters hiding in the woods, so he waved his hand and called to his nearest subordinates: "Come on!"
Several subordinates obeyed the order instinctively, brandishing their swords and charged towards the weird enemies at the edge of the forest. At the same time, other mercenary partners also reacted one after another, and greeted the attackers while uttering shocking and strange shouts.
But what happened next made everyone unresponsive.
Those soldiers wearing strange equipment raised their left arms one by one, aiming at the mercenaries rushing towards them like firing hand crossbows, followed by a series of low-pitched, high-heat beams piercing the air and buzzing continuously. The scorching rays pierced through every soldier on the charge.
The little leader of the knight watched this scene in horror, and a fantasy-like idea flashed through his mind like an explosion: scorching rays? Mage? A mage wearing plate armor and holding a long sword? A large group of mages wearing plate armor and carrying long swords? !
He activated his protective aura at the fastest speed in his life, and a layer of magical radiance appeared on his body, but when he thought he could resist the low-level magic of those strange "plate armor mages", A series of buzzing sounds suddenly sounded in the woods, and then more than a dozen red lights came towards his face.
One after another scorching rays bombarded him, and the knight's aura silenced the first few beams of light, but the mercenary was only terrified, because he found that those "mages" wearing plate armor were casting spells. There is no need for buffering and chanting at all, he found that the beams of light splashing from the forest are completely continuous!
A burst of heart-piercing and burning pain came from the abdomen, followed by simultaneous hits in all four limbs. The little mercenary leader with low-level knight strength almost fell to pieces, thinking Before the complete end, there was only one thought in his mind:
Mage... When did you become so worthless
While those minions and little bosses were being killed one by one by the scorching ray, the mercenary leader in half armor was lucky to survive because of the leader's restraint. He didn't charge with the others, so when he saw the situation In an unfavorable moment, he still had time to quickly find a cover to escape, and he almost scrambled to rush behind the nearest big rock, but in the process, he saw a figure in a black robe who was still sluggish. Stand still.
That was one of the only two mages in the mercenary regiment. The opponent actually propped up the magic shield at this time, and began to chant an attack spell to open the shield and cast a spell. This is almost every battle mage when they are facing other mages. The basic operation is also a standard operation, but the mercenary leader immediately realized that this stupid battle mage was finished.
He watched dozens of scorching red beams shoot at the figure in the magic robe, easily tearing apart the opponent's mana shield, and causing waves of ripples on the magic robe with certain magic resistance , the black-robed mage survived the first round of shooting with his mana shield and expensive anti-magic robe, but the second round of shooting turned him into a mass of coke that exploded in the air.
This is not a battle at all, this is a one-sided massacre. The disparity in strength between the enemy and ourselves is as huge as when he led his men to kill in the refugee camp.
The mercenary leader completely gave up resisting in front of this force. He glanced around to confirm that he had not appeared in the enemy's sight, so he immediately moved along the haystacks and piles of corpses beside the stone, preparing to escape from this terrible However, as soon as he moved, he felt a chill spread from his back to his whole body, and a cold blade touched his neck.
"If I were you, I'd put my hand on the back of my head right now."
Amber pressed a dagger against the back of the mercenary leader's neck, and while issuing a powerful threat, she had a firm idea in her heart: as long as this seemingly capable mercenary leader resisted, she would run away immediately.
But if the other party doesn't resist, she will exchange this credit with Gao Wen for a roast chicken and half a bucket of cold beer.
The mercenary leader didn't resist because he now firmly believes that dozens of battle mages surrounded this place. Although the painting style of those battle mages is very strange, magic cannot be faked. I have to be cowardly too.
Gawain and Philip, who were just watching and recording the battlefield, came out without making a move, leading the magic infantry to clean up the battlefield, while the mercenary leader stood up from behind the stone under the threat of Amber's dagger, obediently accepting control.
Looking at the scorched black corpses in front of him, and recalling that just a few minutes ago, these were a group of well-equipped elite mercenaries even surrounded by extraordinary people, Gao Wen felt a little more proud and trustful of the new heat ray gun.
But at the same time, he also discovered many shortcomings in the experience and tactics of the first generation of magic infantry. Exposing themselves, some people were too excited after killing the enemy with magic for the first time, and forgot the fire-focusing task assigned by the team leader to fight indiscriminately. Two soldiers even made a wrong operation and shot towards the enemy without opening the insurance. After a long time, it was only now that I was reminded by my comrades in arms that I actually didn't hit anyone...
Bringing 30 magic infantry to deal with these mercenaries is indeed a bit of a sledgehammer. Based on the power of the heat ray gun and the chaos brought to the enemy after the appearance of new equipment on the battlefield, Gao Wen judged that only ten were actually needed. Soldiers can deal with these seemingly well-equipped but in fact mob mercenaries in front of them. As long as they focus their fire in a timely manner and have proper tactics, it is difficult for traditional and low-level transcendents to make effective counterattacks when faced with magical weapons.
But it is still necessary to bring so many people, even if each of them only shoots once effectively (two of them are still watching others shoot), these soldiers also learned about the characteristics and usage of the new equipment during actual combat, and Gao Wen also confirmed that In addition to the progress of training and education for these soldiers, whether it is for heat energy ray guns or for these new soldiers, today is a valuable actual combat test.
Missionary Wright also followed the soldiers out of the woods. It was the first time he had seen the combat of the Cecil Combat Corps. The unbelievable mysterious weapon stunned this strong and bear-like pastor, but He quickly turned his attention away from the unintelligible weapons.
Wright walked among the mercenary corpses all over the floor, squatting down from time to time, and drew the symbols of the Church of the Holy Light on the foreheads of those corpses, while chanting words:
"May the Light purify your sinful soul."
"May the Light purify your sinful soul."
"May the holy light purify your sinful and ugly soul."
"May the light purify your sinful, ugly, garlic-smelling soul."
Like a qualified military chaplain, this devout Holy Light pacifies the undead of these brutal and bloody mercenaries with his faith, so as to prevent the environment full of death from spawning dangerous evil spirits or cursed plagues . While praying, he took his hand away from the head of a dead mercenary crossbowman, then walked to the next mercenary in a gray tunic and knelt down: "May the holy light purify your... eh? You …”
Following Wright's doubtful voice, the "corpse" in the gray short robe moved instantly. The mage in suspended animation suddenly opened his eyes, which were filled with chaotic light streams of magical overload, and a dangerous arcane missile followed. It took shape on his chest and attacked Wright!
At such a short distance, it is no longer possible to use divine magic to protect the body, but the missionary Wright still raised his right hand, calling out the skill of the Holy Light unswervingly: "Commande-Silence!"
A fist the size of a casserole fell from the sky, and the mercenary mage, who was pretending to be dead, immediately passed out with blood on his face.
Honestly, it almost killed me.
Then the missionary stood up and shouted to Gawain: "My lord! There is a mage pretending to be dead here to scare me!"
But Amber saw the whole process of the matter, and the half-elf lady exclaimed not far away: "Oh my god, you didn't beat him to death, did you?"
Wright looked calm: "Don't worry, I'm not dead, the silence technique can't kill people."
"Tie these two alive." Gawain probably had some immunity to these guys with abnormal styles. At this moment, he just sighed and assigned the task normally, "Philip, take half of the people to the woods." Turn around to make sure there are no remaining enemies. Come on, Wright, there are wounded here." 8)
