The mage arrives

"A little higher, a little higher... Yes, that's it." Two soldiers were operating the heavy crossbow that had been removed from the wooden wall.This heavy crossbow did not perform well in the battle against Balor last night, but now, it is time to play a role.

It is now one o'clock in the noon, and the preparations for the breakout are ready. The last thing that needs to be done is to drive away those vlo demons who are constantly hovering in the sky and monitoring the hunting camp, so as to buy enough time for personnel to gather .Otherwise, when Flomo sees a sudden large-scale movement of personnel in the hunting camp, he will immediately notify Balomo to prepare for defense.In this case, the success rate of the raid will be greatly reduced.

Gordon enchanted a "Light of Heaven" on the crossbow currently loaded on the heavy crossbow, and Dawn made an instant-triggered magic mark that could last for three hours.Finally, a mage who specializes in divination school spells cast a "directed shot" on the crossbow.Although the range of the heavy crossbow is sufficient, it is very difficult to accurately hit the Vlomo in the air three hundred meters away without the assistance of this spell.

"My lord, the shooting angle has been adjusted and it can be fired!" The crossbowman operating the heavy crossbow solemnly reported to Gordon.

"Very good, launch!" Gordon did not hesitate.

Now at this time, it is the noon when the sun is in the sky, the power of order is the strongest, and the suppression of demons is also the strongest.If there is any further delay, until three or four o'clock in the afternoon, the sun will gradually set in the west, and the advantage that belongs to humans alone will slowly begin to decrease.

The crossbowman took a deep breath, his index finger holding the trigger was trembling slightly.He felt that his own life, as well as the lives of everyone in the entire camp, seemed to be on his index finger.

"Hey, I didn't expect a small person like me to play a key role one day!"

He grinned and finally pulled the trigger.

Only a "bang" sound was heard.The entire ballista is jumping up because of the huge elastic potential energy.The heavy crossbow shot into the air with a "swish", drew a straight line, and then pierced a screaming Flo in the chest.

"Explosion!" Dawn whispered in dragon language, and the crossbow that hit Flo's demon suddenly burst into brilliant white light in midair.

The people who were looking at the sky couldn't help squinting their eyes and building a pergola with their hands.For a moment, they couldn't even tell which light ball in the sky was the sun.

The Flo demon pierced by the crossbow bolt.He barely managed to save his life.But when the magic imprint was activated and the light of heaven was triggered, the white energy of the brilliance attribute immediately burned it to death.Like snow meeting the scorching sun, its body quickly melted into a handful of black ash, and then floated down from the sky.

The other forlos were startled.These ugly half-humanoids didn't expect that.At this altitude, the humans in the hunting camp actually have the means to threaten them.The few vrom left screamed and scattered.Then quickly down.Descend into the woods where the demon army is hiding.

"How about it, Gordon, are we ready to go?" Ms. Bishop asked.

"No, wait a minute. We still need to try again." Gordon looked calm, without the slightest expression of anxiety from other people.

After about 10 minutes, a few more vlos rose into the air.They seem to be reluctant.The movement of flapping the wings seemed weak.However, under the coercion of the superior commander, these demons still have to continue to perform the task of scouting the human hunting camp.

Gordon said in a tone that everything was under control: "Prepare the second crossbow bolt."

This time, the vloe seem to have even worse luck.Because it has not come to disperse the formation.When the first unlucky vlo was hit by the heavy crossbow, the burst of heavenly light quickly burned all three nearby vlo to death—they didn't even have time to escape the spell's killing range in time .

The remaining Flo demons were more or less injured.

After they wailed and flew crookedly into the forest, Gordon asked the crossbowman to load the third and last enchanted crossbow.

This time, after 10 minutes, a new batch of vlo demons took off again.It can be seen that the human attack method made the demon commander hesitate, whether to continue to send the vlo demons to monitor the hunting camp, and how many vlo demons should be sent to monitor.

Gordon's tactics changed again.During Vlo's ascension phase, he had the crossbowmen fire the bolts.Compared with the targets hovering in the air, these Vlo demons who are rapidly rising into the air are more difficult to hit.But with the help of "guided shooting", this is not a problem.

Originally planned to disperse the formation immediately after taking off, so as not to be killed by a large area of ​​human spells, the Vlo demons were caught off guard again.

"Okay." Gordon looked at Ms. Bishop, "This time, the demon commander will be more hesitant about whether to continue to send the Vlo demon into the sky to monitor. The enemy will also spend more time on our enchanted crossbow. Think about what to do. You have at least half an hour, Ms. Bishop. But remember, we'd better start breaking out as soon as the next vlo is in the air. Because these tanar'ri have the ability to communicate with each other telepathically The ability to exchange information between them without delay. You don’t need to use gestures, voices, and flags to pass orders to each other like humans. When Vlomo sees that we are gathering troops, it is the devil command When the officer knows our intention."

"I understand." Ms. Bishop patted Gordon on the shoulder, "I have already communicated the preliminary preparations. Half an hour is enough to complete the assembly. If this breakout can be successful, you are the main contributor!"

After she finished speaking, she gave a few messengers around her a look.These well-trained messengers immediately dispersed to convey the order.

"Dawn, I will leave the task of opening the road to you." Gordon said to his friend.

"Don't worry." Master Lannister also had a serious face at this time, which was very different from his usual appearance. "With the 'Daylight Arrow' we made together, we must have no problem breaking through this time."

The so-called "Daylight Arrows" are actually similar to the crossbow arrows used to attack the Vlomo just now.It was Gordon who cast the 'Light of Heaven', and then Dawn attached a magic arrow made by an instant trigger imprint.

A four-ring spell consumes 15 mana points. Gordon has 155 mana points, and mana potions can replenish half of the mana points. The total mana points he can use today is 232 points.Excluding the 24 points of mana consumed by the shrinking spell cast on the three wooden wedges before, he can enchant arrows with a total of thirteen light of heaven spells.

Except for the three crossbow bolts that were used to attack Flomo just now, Dawn still has ten daylight arrows in his hand.

This is the biggest weapon to break through.

Ms. Bishop specially selected ten warriors with excellent riding and archery skills, each of whom was assigned a Daylight Arrow, and served as the vanguard of the breakout.

Following Ms Bishop's order, the camp began to buzz.Many people ran out of the huts or tents where they had previously hidden to avoid the detection of the Vlomo, and then lined up in a queue according to the plan that had been set.

"Sister, be careful, see you on the ancient road." Gordon waved to Xiona, and then activated the flying technique on the eagle feather boots.

"Brother, you are the same." Xiona raised her head and waved to Gordon who was slowly ascending into the air, her face full of reluctance.

"Captain, you have a good sister." Bivis, who was following Gordon and trying to adjust his body balance, said.

Although he knew that the other party was flattering him, but Gordon looked at the other party's wretched face, and couldn't be happy: "Concentrate, we are the key to breaking through. If we succeed in breaking through, can we get rid of the devil's pursuit?" , it's up to the two of us."

"Yes, Captain!" Bivis felt as if he was the hero who was about to turn the tide in an epic, his face flushed and he was very excited.

The two of them used levitation to hide on the hillside to the west of the hunting camp.When the time comes, remove the shrinking spell on the six wooden wedges, trigger an avalanche, and block the way of the demons' pursuit.

The hunting camp below the feet is getting smaller and smaller, looking like an irregular chessboard.People in different clothes are like colorful fishes, gathering from all over and forming an orderly team.

Gordon couldn't help admiring Ms. Bishop's organizational ability. She was able to bring together a group of scattered nobles in such a short period of time.Of course, on the other hand, under the threat of demons and the huge pressure of survival, these people cannot be as sloppy as usual.

If you want to survive, you have to be obedient.

Gordon even saw the persistent nobles headed by Earl Thompson in the team.It seems that after careful consideration, they knew that when Ms. Bishop led people to break through, they would not be able to hold the camp until reinforcements arrived.So in the end, I had to compromise and joined the breakout team.

Of course, Earl Thompson, who was riding on the horse at this time, did not look very good.

Finally, more than half an hour later, the demon commander sent out the Flo demon again to investigate the hunting camp.This time, the three Vlo demons who were on the scouting mission were covered with a light white mask.

It seems that the spellcaster in the demon army, perhaps the succubus, blessed them with spells to protect them from damage from the radiant energy.

However, this countermeasure is just useless.

The vloe rose into the air.This time, they didn't encounter that deadly crossbow attack again.But before they had time to celebrate, the ugly bird faces of these demons changed drastically and let out an ugly scream.

They finally discovered human movements in the hunting camp.

But by this time it was too late.

"Cavalry..." Ms. Bishop rode on the tall and tall Ursinos horse, and her voice was drawn out so that everyone could hear it.

She pulled out her saber and swung it forward. Under the sunlight, the sharp blade drew a shining arc.

"Breakout!" Ms Bishop ordered. (To be continued..)
