The mage arrives

In Gaoyan City, flames soared into the sky, dyeing most of the sky red.The city was filled with the screams of orcs, the screams of humans, and the fierce winter wind, all intertwined into a sad funeral song, as if there were a pair of eyes in the dark, watching the death of this great city.

However, this city of heroes and warriors, which has survived thousands of years of war, has come to the point of dying under the ravages of orcs, but its heart, the red giant rock fortress, is still beating tenaciously.

Unlike other chaotic and noisy places in the city, the human line of defense in front of the fortress was completely silent at this time.

The black titan is like a statue that has gone through years of wind and frost, motionless, just staring coldly at the burning and collapsed building in the flames.The foot knights of the Redstone Legion lined up behind the iron chain net held the spears in their hands without saying a word. The only sound was the hunting flag in the wind, as if they were playing a unique war song, telling The determination and hope in the hearts of these fighters.

As the night deepened, the moisture condensed a thin layer of water mist on the bright armor, and under the light of the dancing torches, it reflected a psychedelic shimmer.

The sharp spear points are neatly arranged and aimed straight ahead.There are crystal dewdrops hanging on the tip of the gun, which is as cold as ice.

But soon, these transparent and cold dews will turn into hot and turbid orc blood.

slap... slap...

The sound of footsteps came from the end of the dark long street, from far to near, from blurred to clear, from sparse to dense.

Earl Renalin wiped the condensed water droplets on his bald head, and said in a deep voice, "Here we come."

Early years.Because of his unsatisfactory official career, this legion commander has developed a fiery and irritable character. Every time he goes to the battlefield, he will lead his subordinates to rush and fight.To vent my depression.But after following the Grand Duke, time and experience accumulated and filtered his original impetuous heart, and finally became calm and introverted.

The Redstone Legion also has the same characteristics as their commanders. If you use a sentence in Sun Tzu's Art of War to describe it, it is "immovable like a mountain".

Those who received military training from an early age.The goal of life is to fight, kill the enemy, and make meritorious deeds. After entering the Redstone Army and being trained by Earl Renalin, he lost his pride and arrogance.Became a true warrior with discipline.In other legions, the aristocratic knights have always been repeatedly prohibited from attacking without authorization in order to gain merit.But in Redstone Legion, not only does this never happen.Even proud knights are willing to abandon their beloved steeds.Form a gun formation and fight on foot.

Aristocrats with horses and a full set of armor, and several or even dozens of retinues to join the army, are willing to serve as infantry and work with civilians or even slaves?This is a fantasy in other places, but in the Redstone Legion, it is common sense.

God knows how Earl Renalin trained those arrogant knights to make them docile.

The human army waiting in full battle finally waited for the enemy.

The end of the dark long street was suddenly illuminated by torches.Then a large group of orc warriors whose green skin was covered with red blood poured out.

They were the first vanguard to break through the inner city gate, and everyone was equipped with full-body plate armor made with human craftsmanship.

"Those damned traitors, maggots who are only interested in profit!" Earl Renalin cursed secretly.

If the human traitors hadn't provided the enemy with these sophisticated weapons and equipment, the battle would have been much easier, and a few more of his young men would have survived to see the sun tomorrow morning.

The tallest and strongest among the orcs, the guy with a long pole on his back and five human heads hanging on his back was the first to see the human army guarding the gate of the fortress.

The long pole behind it is a status symbol for tundra orcs.Only tribal chiefs can carry such a long pole on their backs in battle.And the higher the status, the greater the power, the more poles on the back.Ugru Iron Claw can carry five long poles on its back to show its most powerful and noble status.

Earl Renalin, who had dealt with the tundra orcs a lot, spotted this conspicuous guy and immediately issued an order to the marksman on standby in the fortress.

A wave of arrows arrived as promised, and the sound of sharp objects piercing flesh, even though it was far away, came from the orc team and penetrated into the ears of humans.

Hiding on the second floor of the fortress, Dalinar, who was peeking out from a shooting hole, heard the terrible sound and saw the red blood flowers blooming in those green skins, and couldn't help but tremble at the tip of his heart.He really wanted to use up the magic item in his hand immediately, and then run away.But when he thought of Gordon's entrustment, he gave up the idea again.

"Calm down, calm down... Dalinar, think carefully about what kind of critical moment you should use this thing." The mage apprentice squeezed the metal plate inlaid with expensive gems and took a deep breath. tone.

"That's right! Shamans! In Freyton's army, field mages are the most precious resources, so among the orcs whose spellcasters account for a smaller proportion of the population, those shamans must be more precious..."

Just as Dalinar had made up his mind, he saw the orc warriors who had put down their shields after resisting the rain of arrows, suddenly sang a simple but bold and majestic battle song.An old shaman with a stooped back came from the rear of the team.

He looked crazy, jumping and jumping, and kept waving the wooden stick with skulls strung like grapes in his hand, releasing a puff of red smoke.

Those orc warriors' chests rose and fell, their expressions were greedy and they inhaled smoke like addicts.The effect appeared quickly, the orc warrior's exposed arms swelled up a circle, his eyes were bloodshot, and his voice became deeper, as if an explosive force was brewing in his body and was about to be released.

"City lord, the enemy has shaman reinforcements, and our soldiers rely on you." The head of the Redstone Army said to the lord of Gaoyan City, Earl Reso Loredo.The bald Earl Renalin was disappointed that the arrow rain just now failed to kill the enemy's leader. He could only hope that his young man would perform better in the next battle.

Although Lei Suo Luo Liedo is in the high position of Gaoyan City Lord, it is not his own strong strength that makes him have what he is today - he is just a mage who can use three-ring spells, and a fourth-level fighter with rough swordsmanship.Familiarity with government affairs.The deployment of materials and the use of manpower are his specialties.

But now in the Red Rock Fortress, most mages gather on the rooftop.Controlling the channeling circle, so it can only be overkill, and let the city lord play a cameo as a battlefield mage.

Reso Loredo also brought two attendants with second-level spell attainments. Although the spell support they could provide was very limited, it was better than nothing.

The orc chief who was blessed with the power of the shaman's soul became more motivated to fight.He led the boys of his tribe to break through the inner city wall first, leaving the others far behind.He took the lead and arrived in front of the red giant rock fortress.The battle progressed extremely smoothly, and the enemy was vulnerable, so the orc chief didn't pay attention to the enemy who was waiting in front of him.He only wanted to take the lead in attacking the red rock fortress.Use this great service to the warlords to seek more benefits for your tribe.

He was so eager that he not only ignored the forest of spears in the distance, but also ignored the huge figure in the night.

The orc warriors were led by the chieftain.shouted wildly.He was running, waving the weapon in his hand.They look forward to a battle with the last human elite fighters who stand firm, and then end the war and gain the highest glory in the baptism of blood and war.

But the reality is cruel.

They have no chance to fight against the gun formation at all.When they were about to approach the gate of the fortress, the orc warriors suddenly heard a loud "rumbling" metal sound coming from above their heads.Someone stopped, looked up, and found that it was originally hidden in the night.The huge black shadow, thought to be a rock sculpture, suddenly moved.

The whistling sound of large objects displacing air at high speed falls from the sky.The faces of the charging orc warriors quickly changed from frenzy to fear.

The black titan held two huge warhammers and slammed them on the long street fiercely. The huge roar overwhelmed the flesh and bones and the toothache sound when the metal armor was quickly squeezed.

When the black titan took back his warhammer, two neat circular gaps appeared in the orc formation charging in a dense formation.

"Ouch..." Dudlinar saw the thick layer of red and green sticky substance on the warhammer, couldn't help but his stomach convulsed, and he vomited.Unfortunately, because of the war, he hadn't eaten for five hours, his stomach was empty, and all he vomited was acid water.

He couldn't help but think of his mother's cooking process of beating the meat with a mallet to make it soft and juicy when making pies on Dragon God's Day.

"After witnessing this scene, I'm afraid I'll never dare to eat my mother's meat pie again... Dragon God, bless your poor believer, after going through this bloody battle, don't leave any shadows, and you can still eat it." I have to eat."

Unlike Dalinar, a rookie who lacked experience and was still obsessed with the bloody scenes on the battlefield, Earl Renalin, who had experienced many battles, was very excited at this time, and was overwhelmed by the huge power of the black titan.

"With the help of such a powerful weapon, we will surely be victorious!"

Gordon, who was thousands of meters away in the sky, controlled the Black Titan, and continued to ruthlessly slaughter the attacking orcs.This time, the Iron Giant changed his approach, leveled the war hammer, and swept across directly.

After expanding the attack surface, the casualties of the orcs also expanded rapidly.

Countless orcs were swept away by the war hammer, flew up, hit the buildings on both sides, their heads were bloody, and turned into a puddle of flesh.

After paying at least [-], including the chief, the orc attacking troops who arrived in front of the red rock fortress fled in embarrassment.

Repelling the first wave of attacks so easily does not allow humans to relax.Because as the follow-up troops continue to follow up, more orc soldiers will appear soon...

Gordon monitored the surrounding environment and proceeded cautiously, while giving orders to his golem to kill the orcs and protect the fortress.

This dual-purpose state is extremely exhausting, but at this moment, he can only choose to persevere.

His keen sense of hearing allowed Gordon to pick up the sound of footsteps coming from above his head, below his feet, and all around him.He knew that Sansheng Baptist Church was rapidly mobilizing manpower to hunt and block him.

He told himself he had to speed up.

If it is an ordinary person, entering this floating fortress like a huge maze for the first time, they will definitely be blinded immediately, and they will not be able to find their way for a while.However, Gordon once entered the flying battleship of the Netherdulan Magic Empire in the ruins of Danzig, so he has a certain understanding of the internal layout.

Although the Trinity Baptist has undergone extensive modifications, the basic structure of the battleship has not changed.

"Places such as the power cabin, weapon room, and control room. There are a large number of magic devices, and the magic fluctuations emitted are varied and complicated. It is definitely not an ideal place to place the transmission device. Only the warehouse on the bottom layer that stores ordinary materials is the most suitable."

Gordon quickly determined the destination.

He knew that he was probably on the middle deck of the flying battleship now, and there was still a long way to go before his destination.But he didn't intend to follow the road to the destination honestly.

If there is no shortcut, create a shortcut.

The floor under the feet is made of high-quality hardwood and has undergone several strengthening processes. Its protection is no less than that of iron plates. Even if it is chopped with a knife, it will take a lot of effort to break it.But since it is wood, even after fire treatment.Fire is also its greatest weakness.

Gordon chanted the spell, and two flames shot out from his palm.He controlled the two flames formed by the second-ring evocation spell "Scorching Ray", and drew a circle on the floor that was big enough for one person to pass through.

The heat of the flames licked the floor.It quickly carbonizes and becomes brittle.

Immediately afterwards, Gordon pushed with his palm and cast a force field wave on the ground.The invisible shock wave as ferocious as a sea wave immediately blasted away the circle drawn on the floor.A downward passage appeared in front of Gordon.

These two low-level spells came after Gordon returned to Clearwater City from the Cold Mist Mountains.Take time out to study.Although now he is already a five-ring mage.But for mages, not only the depth of spells must be pursued, but also the breadth of spells.Only by mastering as many spells as possible can you be able to deal with various situations.

So Gordon does not intend to specialize in one school at the cost of giving up the spells of two schools like many mages do.After all, he has system support, and being an all-purpose mage of all schools is the kingly way.

The speed of searching cultists layer by layer is definitely not as fast as Gordon.The mage quickly reached the bottom of the floating fortress.

He continued to quicken his pace.Finally arrived at the destination.

Seeing the piles of barrels and wooden boxes around him, Gordon finally breathed a sigh of relief.Wood, iron plates, ropes, nails, bolts, and other materials that are heavy and easy to store are stored here.

Like a ship sailing at sea.Floating fortresses flying in the air also have counterweight considerations, and the center of gravity must be kept as low as possible.Otherwise, if a strong wind hits in the air and a large angle of roll occurs because the center of gravity is too high, it will be troublesome.

Gordon took out a disc made of mithril from the dimensional bag. The surface was a regular pentagon drawn by a shining golden source line, and a zircon was inlaid in each corner.He chose a spacious place, placed the disc on the ground, and opened his mouth to read a short incantation.

With a snap, the disc was firmly attached to the floor like a suction cup.

After fixing the guidance device, Gordon was about to activate it when he suddenly noticed an unusual sound behind him.

He turned around and saw that three hexagrams appeared out of thin air, glowing red.

Gordon has not only seen this kind of portal for summoning demons many times in magic books, but also encountered it many times in actual combat, so of course he is no stranger to it.

He immediately blessed himself with various defensive spells, especially protection from fire energy.If he encountered an abyssal creature capable of casting spells, Gordon would most likely be facing an attack from a fire spell. If he had prepared early, he would be able to gain an advantage.

At the same time, Gordon took the time to prepare an anti-chaos magic circle.

This three-ring protection school spell is specially used to target creatures of a specific camp. It is very easy to use. It can trap the creatures of the specified camp and cannot attack in melee.

Many mages will prepare this spell in advance when summoning demons and other creatures that are easy to get out of control and counterattack the summoner.

Gordon has seen a lot of the portal in front of him featuring hexagrams and burning flames in "The Ancient Era". He knows that it takes five.[-] seconds for this kind of portal to open and teleport.Therefore, the traveler mage controlled the casting speed, and released the spell very precisely when the first monster with a red body and horns on its head rushed out of the portal.

It had a strange appearance, and an unknown type of abyssal creature roared and rushed towards Gordon, but was suddenly stopped by a transparent and invisible magic circle.

It was trapped in the anti-chaos circle together with the same kind that came out of the portal one after another, and it could only grin its teeth in vain and growl non-stop.

"It is estimated to be a hybrid abyss creature made with the technology of the demon lord Azulu." Gordon glanced at these creatures, and was about to clean them up when he suddenly felt strong arcane energy fluctuations above his head .

A fireball with an evil and chaotic aura appeared out of nowhere and hit Gordon from above his head.Immediately afterwards, a man wearing a red and black mage robe appeared at the place where the fireball was launched.

First, he used two alien summoning gates to attract Gordon's attention, then used invisibility and levitation techniques to get close to Gordon, and then used spells to sneak attack from the most difficult angle to defend.

The actual combat experience of this cult mage must be extremely rich to be able to come up with such a nearly perfect plan.

However, there was one thing he didn't consider, and that was Gordon's extraordinary spell resistance.

Wearing a salamander cloak with high fire resistance, and adding the spell of protection from fire energy damage, plus the magic resistance ability obtained from the Chimera in the dungeon, after Gordon endured this spell attack, I just feel painless.

"Interesting..." Chalamore sneered, lifted the levitation technique, landed on the ground, and confronted Gordon far away.

After Hettington died under Rob Antello's spell, the deputy of the second seat of the Twelve Stone Seats was now the strongest and commander-in-chief of the Three Holy Baptists in the floating fortress. (To be continued..)
