The mage arrives

The hopeful soldiers returned to their own fronts.He might survive this fight, he might be killed by demons the next moment, but at least he would fight for victory and not be overwhelmed by fear and despair.

Ms. Bishop's mood did not relax even the slightest bit after the news that the reinforcements were coming.Although the Winter Claw Legion sent a trained magic bird to bring good news, it did not have any effect on the current battle situation.If she had been influenced by the Chinese culture of another world, the proverb "far away water can't quench near thirst" would surely pop up in her heart at this time.

Even the fastest vanguard knight unit of the Winter Claw Legion is at least three hours away from the battlefield at this time.During this period of time, enough demons devoured and chewed all human beings.

"The only thing I can do now is to stick to the line of defense and stop the demon army for a second longer, and there will be more hope of survival." Ms. Bishop was determined in her heart, looking past the scattered corpses on the battlefield, looking at the dark place in the distance mountains.Just now she could faintly sense the rumbling vibration and energy fluctuations coming from the mountain.

In a place unknown to everyone, the young mage and the grand duke's daughter are also engaged in a battle. The enemy is not a demon, but is stronger than the demon.

They are Ms Bishop's greatest hope.Today, I don't know whether the flame of hope will burn more and more until it becomes a prairie fire, or it will be completely extinguished in the night...

"Miss Xiona, that bastard Burdisso is there!" Bivis shouted in a shrill voice.On a battlefield full of shouts of killing and hissing, his ugly voice was not too harsh.

After Xiona wounded Burdisso, she and Bivis followed the trail of blood.On the frontal battlefield, humans and demons have begun to confront each other, which made her more determined to clean up Burdisso who was wreaking havoc everywhere.

Near the stables where a large number of war horses were temporarily kept, the two found that the blood left by Burdisso disappeared.

Xiona immediately realized that the mage who had received the power of the demon had stopped the wound.And something even more destructive is being planned: to drive the horses into a frenzy, storm the camp, and cause civil unrest.

Thinking of the terrible consequences if Burdisso succeeded, Xiona couldn't help but feel chills down her spine, and immediately asked Bivis to use a "Detect Invisibility" scroll.

As the younger sister of an outstanding mage, Xiona is very familiar with all kinds of hiding and escape tactics of middle and low-level mages.Spells are almost omnipotent, and mages are extremely powerful, but it doesn't mean that soldiers can only kneel and lick obediently when encountering mages, shouting "Mage, forgive me".As an excellent adventurer.Xiona knew how to use her strengths to attack the weaknesses of those spellcasters.

"These brothers and sisters are really connected. How did she know that the spell scroll that Commander Gordon gave me contained the detection of invisibility?" Bivis mumbled quickly, and then used it with a heartache but steadfastness. Spell scroll.

As the magic energy rapidly spread and rippled around him.In the entire 30-meter range, any possible invisible creatures have nowhere to hide-using invisibility as a cover.Burdisso preparing to cast a spell on the horses.exposed to the two.

It is not easy to make a well-trained warhorse go crazy due to the influence of flames or loud noises, so Burdisso is going to cast the spell of "group fear of animals" to achieve his goal.

If he succeeds, the humans will be attacked in the rear and the front will be under heavy pressure from the army of demons.Will collapse quickly, then his "hero" will definitely be rewarded after the war.Although you can't expect the devil's "generosity", but with this kind of credit, there is no problem in entering the Three Holy Baptist Church in one fell swoop.after.With this great backer, he can climb up the family step by step.

The young man of the Silmarillion family had a good plan, but at this time he had to face the toughest enemies he had ever encountered in his life-a girl with dual swords, and a middle-aged man with a wretched face mage.

Burdisso was prepared. When he cast a spell, the arcane energy broke the invisible force field, and he would be discovered by Xiona who was following him.But he didn't expect that the other party would detect him with magic in advance.This made Burdisso a little flustered.

In the past, after learning spells, saying goodbye to his teacher, and leaving the boring and cold magic tower, Burdisso also spent a period of time as an adventurer in order to hone his spellcasting skills.Although due to his dual status as a nobleman and a mage, he received a lot of care during his adventures and did not experience any real danger, but his combat literacy is not bad, at least better than those academic mages who have spent their entire lives in schools and laboratories.

He opened his mouth to recite the password, and the strange syllables of the abyssal language drove the lava stone necklace presented by the succubus on his chest, producing a violent magical reaction.

As long as he chanted four more syllables, he could activate the necklace and release the offensive spells stored in it.

For a low-level mage who has not mastered the skill of instant spell casting, this is already a fairly quick reaction.If Burdisso was facing an ordinary soldier, he would be the first to use arcane energy to blast the enemy into scum before the opponent closed the distance of more than ten meters and pierced his chest with the long sword in his hand.

But when Burdisso opened and closed his lips, he suddenly remembered how that beautiful but dangerous girl hurt himself just now.

The opponent has a special power that can quickly close the distance, making the mage's long-range advantage disappear.

Although the surprise attack brought by Xiona's flash power is not very effective when facing heavy armored enemies such as temple knights or dwarf shield guardians, but if the opponent is a spellcaster or a ranger If the class does not focus on heavy armor and has weak melee combat capabilities, then she will be able to exert super strength.

Game players know what will happen to a crispy ap without movement skills when it meets an assassin in attack gear.

In the previous confrontation with Burdisso, Xiona was half a beat slower due to the influence of residual mental spells, and the opponent was already prepared, so she only wounded but did not kill.

But this time, the girl who had learned her lesson did not hesitate, and when Burdisso was about to activate the spell in the necklace, she immediately activated the power.The delicate and tall body disappeared in front of the two men at once.

Before Burdisso finished singing, she appeared again, on Burdisso's left side.

In the hands of Xie Auna, Long Yin and Zi Dian, the two most important swords in her life - her father and elder brother's swords, at this time the sword edge was singing, and the bright light pierced the night, cutting heavily Hitting the body of the Hellfire Mage.

With the cooperation of sound waves and lightning energy, the sharp blade easily cut through the body that was only protected by silk clothing.Burdisso screamed, blood spattered out.The vitality and the control of the brain over the body also quickly disappeared.

"I come from the great Baratheon family, I cannot die..."

Before his life was gone, a young man with blond hair and noble blood had only time to say such a sentence.and fell down dead.The gorgeous mage robes were messed up, and the blood that had been polluted by the energy of chaos seeped into the mud.It was dyed black.

Xiona watched as the devil's spies had been executed.I finally breathed a sigh of relief.After using the flash power just now, the fatal blow that condensed all the strength in her body almost exhausted her physical strength.Siona stood beside Burdisso's body, panting slightly.

Seeing that the enemy had been eliminated, Bivis also breathed a sigh of relief.After all, Gordon asked him to help Xiona kill Burdisso, if he failed.Or if there is something wrong with this beautiful lady, I am afraid it will not end well.

Xiona glanced at Bivis and nodded to the middle-aged mage, expressing her gratitude for fighting side by side just now.Then she retracted the weapon.Said: "Master Bivis, since the traitor has been cleared, we should hurry to find Ms. Bishop. Now the battle with the devil is very tight, and the more combat power we have, the more chances we will win."

Thinking that after finishing Burdisso, he would have to face the hideous and terrifying demon again, Bivis looked bitter.But he had no choice but to obey.

Just as the two were about to leave, a group of dignitaries in luxurious clothes suddenly walked into the stable surrounded by many armed soldiers.

"Earl Thompson!" Seeing the well-groomed beard of the chief old man, Xiona immediately recognized the other party's identity.

Many nobles on the other side were also very surprised to meet other people in the stables at this time.

Didn't that old woman Bishop mobilize all the people, including the old and the weak, women and children, to fight on the earthen wall?Why are there still people here?

Earl Thompson just glanced at the heroic and beautiful girl with a black ponytail in front of him, and immediately recognized her identity——Xiona Freeman, the daughter of a fallen noble family, only relatives An elder brother, a young sorcerer with extraordinary talent but always against him.

As a senior, helm of an old aristocratic family, he may be useless in other aspects, but his ability to know people is definitely not bad.Earl Thompson not only recognized Xiona at a glance, but also saw clearly the bloody corpse lying on the ground.

"Burdisso Baratheon!" He was shocked.

Earl Thompson was not one of those vigilante members who saw a murder like a wild dog who saw a bone, but the murder of a young man from the Silmarillion family who came from afar was still surprising.

It seems that the pretty little girl on the opposite side, and the wretched-looking country bumpkin noble mage, should be the ones who killed Burdisso.

Well, this group of humans is being hunted down by demons, no matter who they are, death is not a surprise.Although Burdisso was a member of Earl Thompson's faction before, the old earl, who had been in the aristocratic circle for most of his life, was not thinking about how to find out the truth and find justice for Burdisso.

joke!On the temporary fortification line behind them, the remnants of the human army are fighting bloody battles with the demons. It may be an hour, or the next breath. The crazy, ferocious, and overwhelmingly superior demon army will completely defeat the defense forces led by Bishop. .At this time, the most important thing to care about is how to escape and save your own life, not to investigate a murder case!

Earl Thompson led his cronies to leave their posts without authorization and ran to the stables, just to seize the time to seize the horses and break out of the encirclement.

Since there are no guards here, only a little girl and a useless middle-aged man discovered his whereabouts, then...

Earl Thompson's gray eyes rolled twice, and he immediately had an idea.

Seeing this large group of nobles appearing with bodyguards, Bivis felt a little flustered.Burdisso betrayed humans, prepared to create chaos, and assisted in the demon attack.Only a few people know.Only the presence of Gordon and Ms Bishop can prove their innocence.What would people think if they saw the noble members of the Baratheon family lying in a pool of blood, and they and Xiona hurriedly prepared to leave the scene?

In order not to be given the title of "murderer", Bivis quickly explained: "Burdisso was tempted by the devil, and has fallen into an accomplice. He intended to sabotage in the rear, and was shot dead by Miss Xiona and me. My lords If you don't believe me, you can check Burdisso's body and you should be able to find a lot of evidence."

Although his aptitude is not very good, Bivis is an official mage anyway.There is still a lot of knowledge about the knowledge of the realm, especially the abyssal forces that penetrate the deepest human beings in the main material world.

Those human beings who are tempted to fall by demons, or accept the power of the abyss, will always have various abnormalities in their bodies.Such as black blood.The mouth smelled of sulfur, and the color of the pupils changed.Skin scaling etc.

When monitoring before.Bivis witnessed the rapid improvement of the opponent's spellcasting ability, which made him believe that Burdisso must have accepted the power of the demon.That's why he dared to let Earl Thompson examine the body with confidence to prove his innocence.

"Earl Thompson also has a few mages under him. Although they are not as brilliant as Captain Gordon, they can find traces of demons from Burdisso's body. It should be no problem." Bivis thought.

Who knows, Earl Thompson's reaction was unexpected.

"You don't need to check. Xiona and Bivis, you are timid and afraid of fighting, and you want to steal the horse and escape. You were caught by Mr. Burdisso, so you killed people to hide your whereabouts. The facts are sufficient and the evidence is conclusive!" The old earl said With an elegant tone, he finished speaking at a very fast speed, and then raised his hand, "Take these two down!"

"My lord, I misunderstood!" Bivis shouted tremblingly.

"There's no need to explain." Xiona took two steps back and held the two swords in her hands again.After receiving Earl Thompson's order, the soldiers immediately dispersed and outflanked the two wings, and the mages even began to chant and prepare their spells.Looking at the situation, it is clear that they want to kill the "prisoner" instead of trying to arrest the "prisoner".

The girl smiled coldly, and her delicate body was as straight as a pine in the night wind: "I am afraid that you are the ones who are timid and afraid of fighting, and want to steal the horse and escape. It is really a veteran to put your own sins on other people's heads." Aristocratic style."

Because of her age, Xiona was still a little naive, but with the obvious facts in front of her eyes, she immediately deduced the purpose of Earl Thompson and his party's presence here.

If you don't kill people and let Bivis and you who know the truth run away, this group of people will be in big trouble.

The words "senior nobleman" deeply hurt Earl Thompson's heart.Because the word "senior" often means that this noble faction really doesn't have much to boast about except for its seniority.

The military aristocratic class composed of Xiona's father, who obtained the fiefdom through military exploits, and Ms. Bishop, the three brothers of the barbarian warrior Lambattoni, etc., often look down on these guys who maintain their status and wealth by relying on their ancestral shadows and playing tricks.Moreover, in the Freyton Empire where martial arts prevailed, nobles like Earl Thompson naturally would not have a good reputation.

Earl Thompson chose to oppose Ms. Bishop at the beginning, and there were also reasons why the two parties were in different camps.

Although his heart was hurt by a little girl's ridicule, the old earl still only twitched his face and did not lose his mind.

"Little girl with sharp teeth, these words of yours should be left to the god of death. Human beings will be defeated today, and all the truth will be torn apart by the flames from the abyss and the sharp claws of the devil. I am fighting bravely , Deus Ex survivors, witnesses of demonic atrocities. The dead do not speak for themselves, and you, and your brother, and everyone else's 'story', will be told by me."

Earl Thompson grinned grimly and added emphasis on the word "story".

Xiona pursed her lips, her eyes were as sharp as a long sword in her hand.She has only one thought now: "Live, you must live! You can't let a despicable person like Earl Thompson escape, let him slander himself, his brother, the Freeman family, and everything in order to fight against the devil. And sacrificed warrior Freyton!"

The girl screamed, and her figure was as swift as a dragon eagle fighting in a storm, and rushed towards Earl Thompson.

"What a hot-tempered little girl!" Earl Thompson was startled.He didn't expect that the opponent would dare to launch an active attack when he was already surrounded, unable to escape, and his strength was at an extreme disadvantage.

"Asalan!" The count roared, and hurriedly backed away.

Asalan is Earl Thompson's magic advisor, handling various spell-related issues for him, and is also the Earl's most powerful personal bodyguard.

Asalan, who has dealt with many assassination cases and has rich combat experience, admires the determination of the beautiful little girl in front of him.In this case, the opponent really had to take the initiative to make a surprise attack before he had a glimmer of hope of victory.

Although he didn't have much loyalty to Earl Thompson, in order to be worthy of the generous remuneration paid by the Earl, he still stood in front of Earl Thompson with professional ethics, and then took out a crimson bone staff from the mage robe.

With just a brief password, Asalan cast the spell stored in the magic wand.

Classic, practical, and powerful, the three-ring evocation magic and fireball that most mages will learn. (To be continued..)
