The mage arrives

"Get ready, they're coming," Gordon said.

Through the familiar crow that flew out, he saw the pirates who were quickly approaching the camp along the valley under the cover of grass.

These blood-licking murderers held sharp sailor machetes. Although they were stooped, they still surrounded the entire camp with agility and swift movements.If it weren't for the occasional moonlight reflected from the back of the knife when looking down from the sky, it would have been difficult for even Gordon to spot these enemies who were obviously very proficient in sneak attacks.

"It's such a pity that such a beautiful place is about to be stained red by the blood of those pirates." Ji Er stood beside Gordon, her lips curled up slightly, as if she wasn't looking forward to the upcoming battle.

Gordon was busy formulating a plan to lure the pirates into the bait, and he kept checking for gaps in intelligence to prevent any negligence from being discovered suddenly by the other party, and then being noticed by Bellamy, and finally fell short.But this eldest lady really seemed to be out for an outing, admiring the beautiful scenery of the sea of ​​flowers all the way, and enjoying all kinds of exquisite snacks and desserts made by Gordon himself when she was tired.

When it was time for the battle, the lady finally remembered the business, and wanted to help out, go to the front line to fight, and said that she would take revenge herself, and make the evil pirate who caused her injury and coma for a long time pay the price .

Of course Gordon couldn't allow it.

As the eldest lady of the Phoenix family who is loved by thousands of people and a real RMB player, all of Jier's equipment was lost when she was attacked by pirates.Although as a mystery knight, she fought well, but neither Gordon nor the female knight Sigrid who was in charge of security wanted to see her fighting the pirates herself.

Ji Er felt helpless because of identity troubles.They could only honestly watch how Gordon dealt with the pirates under the protection of the eight phoenix knights.

"My eldest lady, this valley will not leave by itself. Come again next year at this time, and you will find that this place is still beautiful. The traces left by today's battle will soon disappear under the action of nature. These delicate flowers will always be here waiting for you."

"I hope so..." Ji'er smiled, "Speaking of which, after your rule over the peninsula is stabilized, how about visiting my house? My parents and other relatives. I have long wanted to be with you Heroes of the Empire, the upstarts around His Majesty the Emperor have met."

"I will definitely accept the invitation from the Phoenix family." Gordon nodded.

During this period of time, although the process of building a territory on the peninsula and consolidating its rule has not encountered too many obstacles.Everything is going well, but Gordon still feels that it is not a long-term solution for him to struggle alone all the time.

The threat of the Eisenstein family has not been eliminated.The other party is just busy with the political struggle with the other two grand dukes, so he has no time to pay attention to himself.And behind the king of Haiwen in the north, there is the Frey family of Changxia Province as an ally.Although I am not afraid of these forces, I have to rely solely on the strength of the Freeman family.It is a bit too tiring to deal with these known enemies, as well as the unknown enemies that will be involved in the future.

Faliya, Earl Julian and others are far away in the north, beyond their reach.The Lannister family has a detached status and is not very interested in political struggles.Moreover, although Dawn is favored in the family, he has no real power.

So, the Freemans needed new allies.

The Phoenix family is a good choice.

This is an aristocrat with a long history in the Changxia Province, owning nearly one-fifth of the territory of the entire province, and the family's maritime trade is also very prosperous, no matter in terms of financial resources, manpower, or family background.They are all noblemen of Freyton.Especially after relying on the incident of the Three Holy Baptist Church to defeat the Gribreth family some time ago, their strength has become stronger.

Gordon knew that with Jill's relationship, he would definitely be able to win the goodwill of the Phoenix family.However, it is not enough to become a partner with equal status in the eyes of the other party.

But he believed it.After he unified the entire peninsula and took this piece of land equivalent to an imperial province into his hands, he would have enough bargaining chips to discuss cooperation with the Phoenix family, or any other Freddon nobleman.

"Okay, the time for chatting is over, let's start fighting." Gordon's expression suddenly became serious.

Jier nodded obediently, and then retreated into the protection of Sigrid and the others.She stared blankly at the young black-haired mage chanting a spell, completely lighting up the entire night with lighting spells one after another.

"It's just like a festival..." The blond lady's eyes were a little fascinated.

The pirates who lowered their bodies and sneaked among the flowers were immediately stunned by these small spells fired from the distant target camp.

The pitch-black sky became like daytime, they lost the cover of the night, and their figures were immediately exposed to each other's eyes.

"Amberley! We have been discovered!" The pirates exclaimed the name of the god of the sea.

Although these are well-trained and experienced pirates, but because every previous landing raid has never failed, so this time there was an accident, which made them a little bit at a loss for a while.

"What are you panicking!" Bellamy shouted angrily.His huge body stood up from the flowers, pointed the scimitar studded with jewels in his hand, "Even if that ridiculous lord has discovered us, so what? At this moment, no matter how he thinks about struggling, It's already too late! The enemy's head is less than 200 meters away from our blade!"

Bellamy's words made the pirates wake up immediately.

Now that they had been discovered, all the attackers simply gave up stealth, stood up, and then launched an attack in a loose formation.

Gordon's camp was set up on a small hill, easy to defend but difficult to attack.However, apart from the eight Phoenix knights protecting Miss Jier, he only brought ten other redstone guards, plus himself and Miss Jier as bait, there were no more than twenty people.

The pirates brought by Bellamy were all elite fighters who had experienced many battles. If they were divided according to the standardized ranks of the fighter union, these people were at least seventh-level fighters.

Although Bellamy is huge and fat.But the action is not clumsy at all.Especially his pet "Sand Wing", lying on his broad back, almost merged with his owner.Moreover, when Bellamy was running, this special vulture would spread its wings and create whirlwinds mixed with sand and dust.Speed ​​up for Bellamy.

Soon, Bellamy, with a greedy expression on his face, led many subordinates to within 50 meters of Gordon's camp.

"Hmph, those lighting techniques just now really surprised me. I thought that mage had already prepared it. This Sisdoro Valley was actually a trap prepared for me. Now it seems that he is just I found our trail by chance, so I used those lighting spells. If you really knew we were coming, why didn't you set a trap on this grass? Don't those mages like to do this kind of thing the most?"

Exactly as Bellamy said.If Gordon had set a spell trap in the grass in advance, he would be able to read the trigger code lightly now, and let the flames, lightning, acid, and ice pour down on the pirates, causing a lot of damage.

The reason why Gordon didn't do this was also to keep it secret.

He knew that he brought Jill to the Sisdoro Valley to play, and he had been under the watchful eye of Bellamy.Jier, the eldest lady, even Sigrid and those Phoenix knights.They are all beautiful girls. When they are admiring the endless and colorful sea of ​​flowers, they probably won't notice like Gordon that there are five people dressed as hunters appearing nearby.

Although the Sisdoro Valley has beautiful scenery, there are no animals worth hunting.Those people appeared again and again, and their identities hidden under the hunter's costume were ready to be revealed.

In order to avoid alarming others, Gordon did not immediately catch these pirate eyeliners.

Anyway, he believed it, even without the help of traps arranged in advance.It can also easily resist the attack of pirates, and wait for the assembled large army.

The pirates continued to move forward confidently, seeing that they would be able to climb the hill in a few minutes.

But Gordon quickly used spells to extinguish most of the burning fire of self-confidence in their hearts.

He took out two architect staffs from the dimension bag.

Yes, the Architect Staff again.

After the battle that wiped out the cavalry of the Aldrich family.Gordon became very interested in staffs, which are usually only used in the civilian field and are rarely used in military purposes.

This kind of staff can build a ground fortification at an extremely fast speed to resist the enemy's attack, which is really extremely convenient.Apart from the messenger brooch, the architect's staff is probably the second magical item that Gordon wants to popularize in the army.

Of course, the manufacturing cost and usage threshold of this thing are not comparable to the small communication brooch. His idea can only be a very extravagant hope now.

However, although it cannot be popularized, the architect's staff is indeed very useful in many battles under certain conditions.

A few mud-yellow magical lights flashed, and the camp, which was almost defenseless in the eyes of the pirates, immediately transformed into a semi-permanent fortification that was difficult to conquer.

A circle of earthen walls rose from the ground and firmly surrounded the entire camp.

Seeing the three-meter-high wall that suddenly appeared, the pirates were all stunned.Although one by one was still moving their legs to charge under the urging of Bellamy, their brains had already stagnated on the same question: how to get over this wall?

The earth wall faced the outer wall of the pirates, and it was specially strengthened by spells to transform it into a hard and smooth rock material, and it also had an inclination angle, making it more difficult for the enemy to climb.On the inside of the earth wall, there is a row of steps.Stepping on the dirt steps, Gordon's redstone guards could easily use crossbow arrows to call the pirates outside one by one.

Gordon could actually build the earthen walls even higher.

However, he was worried that if the sudden fortifications were too strong, the pirates would completely lose their interest in fighting, and they would retreat without fighting before their own army assembled to block their retreat.

In order to delay time, Gordon deliberately left a glimmer of hope for the pirates to break through the fortification.

After all, these elite pirates are fighters above level six.With the physical fitness of these people, without any interference, they can still climb up the three-meter-high obstacle with bare hands without using any tools.

Such a good thing in an ideal situation will naturally not happen.

Ten Redstone Guards stood behind the earthen wall.He raised his crossbow.

Although ten military crossbows are far from enough to cause the effect of "overwhelming arrow rain".But soon, the pirates who attacked in a loose formation found that although the crossbow bolts fired were sparse, their lethality was not bad at all.

Although there is no ability to equip all the crossbowmen in the army with enchanted arrows, it is for today's battle.It is still possible to prepare some "gadgets" for a few guards.

Every crossbow arrow of the Redstone Guards hit the target accurately under the effect of Daoyin.And these crossbow bolts don't just rely on metal arrows to penetrate the human body.While hitting the target, various arcane energies will be released.

For a while, there were screams again and again.Blood splattered everywhere.

And Gordon didn't show weakness, he found the right opportunity and threw a few fireballs over.

However, this time, his spells had no results.One is because the pirates on the opposite side are in a loose formation, and even a single fireball cannot hit too many targets.in addition.These lightly-packed pirates are very agile, and they can dodge the fireball with almost a vertical jump and roll.

Although this three-ring evocation spell is easy to use, it also has many shortcomings.For example, fireball is not a directional spell.In "The Ancient Age", many players of the rogue class.All of them can rely on the high reflex test brought by the high agility attribute to avoid the damage caused by the fireball technique.

And reflected in reality, as long as you are agile enough and move fast enough, you can avoid this spell.

And these pirates who have been running up and down on sea ships all year round are as agile as monkeys, and can easily dodge the fireball technique.

Therefore, Gordon began to use relatively high-accuracy single-target spells such as Flame Arrow, or group-oriented spells such as Missile Storm to attack the enemy.

But mana is not infinite.So it was impossible for Gordon to fully fire.He changed his strategy more and chose to use a series of spells from Avahei shot to spider web and greasy spell to stop the enemy's forward speed.

The enemy's firepower is not too strong, and the casualties are within the acceptable range, even if the speed of advancement has been slowed down repeatedly due to the opponent's annoying spells.But Bellamy eventually led the pirates up the hill.At this time, [-] minutes had passed since Gordon issued the assembly order.

Everything went smoothly.

However, Bellamy is a great pirate who roams the sea of ​​steam after all, and he always has some unexpected tricks that can go beyond Gordon's expectations.

Originally, the mage thought that the earth wall he made could keep the pirates out and delay enough time.But unexpectedly, when Bellamy, who was out of breath, came to the hill, he immediately raised his machete and slashed forward in the air, regardless of the ups and downs of his fat belly.

A burst of energy compressed close to a solid state, exuding blue light, hit the earth wall Gordon made temporarily like a long knife.

Earth and rocks flew, and a big gap appeared in front of everyone.

Gordon originally thought that the scimitar in Bellamy's hand, inlaid with various precious stones, was just a decoration to show the bad aesthetic taste of this great pirate, but he didn't expect it to be a magical weapon.

Next, Bellamy surprised Gordon again.

The great pirate raised his forefinger, which was as thick as a carrot, and tapped lightly towards Gordon.

Immediately under Gordon's feet, there were three thick rock-like shoots.

Fortunately, the mage was as cautious as ever, and at the beginning of the battle, he blessed himself with various protective spells.After encountering this sudden attack, his transparent "trigger energy resistance" mask immediately turned dark brown, and then completely intercepted the opponent's earth attribute attack without any injury.

"Spellcaster?" Gordon couldn't help frowning slightly.

Bellamy's appearance was just too deceiving.So much so that Gordon didn't expect that such a big fat man with swollen cheeks who couldn't even recite a complete spell could use spells.

Mage, naturally impossible.Warlock, it's hard to say.The greatest possibility is that Mr. Bellamy has some kind of special blood in his body, which allows him to use certain spell-like abilities.

Gordon didn't dare to push it any further, and directly summoned all the fighting ice golems.

When he was fighting the Saloans in the swamp, he had three battle ice golems.This time I went back to Sea Cliff Fort, worked overtime, and used the accumulated rare metals to build another one.In this way, he now has four powerful construction fighting machines in his hands.

But this time, Ania was not by Gordon's side.The ordinary ice golems she was in charge of commanding were also absent.Because Gordon needs the ice goblin queen and her mischievous subjects to do another thing.

After the four battle ice golems appeared, they immediately blocked the gap that Bellamy blasted just now.The big pirate nicknamed "Man-eating Vulture" didn't back down, and charged forward brandishing his machete.

As one of the great pirates on the steam sea, Bellamy was also a high-level fighter above level ten.Don't look at his obtuse and fat appearance, but his skills are quite flexible, and his strength is terrifying.In addition, his scimitar is very powerful, it can release an air blade composed of force field energy, and every blow can cause a lot of damage to the ice golem covered with thick armor plates.

Fortunately, at this time Gordon saw that at the entrance of the valley, his army had already assembled and marched here.

At this moment, Bellamy's pet suddenly had a new movement.
