I'm a forest ranger, why would I enslave a succubus?

Chapter 567 Ambush and Spellcasting Formation

Rod recalled.

Seamus, the president of the imaging agency, originally wanted to blow up the defense line of the Claw Valley Mountains.

Later, he attempted to use chaotic psychic power to infect the seventh-level mercenary Ryan at the Violet Tavern in Quartz Town.

Fortunately, he was stopped by Valery, the owner of the Violet Tavern.

At that time, there was no very obvious chaotic energy in the alien space, and it was still in the stage of raging psychic storms.

But even at that moment he began to try to use the chaotic and complex psychic energy.

The current artificial release of chaotic energy is basically inseparable from him.

Speaking of which
The retired owner of the Violet Tavern from the Esserlon military obviously has some secrets.

Rhodes had noticed it before.

Before the attack on Coral Bay, he had tried to test the waters a bit when he went to the tavern for a drink.

However, the answer I received was very general and ambiguous.

Boss Valeri said that the only thing he needed to protect was the Violet Tavern.

"Perhaps the Violet Tavern itself?"

My thoughts have drifted a little far away.

Rhodes shook his head and continued to focus on the present.

This group of Bahadur masters chose a temporary camp on a nearby mountain terrace shrouded in rain and fog.

The camp was built on a conical arched platform made of five or six ancient pine trees that had been activated with the [Tree Revitalization] technique.

This place is secluded enough and can overlook an area fifty miles away from the center of Olive Town.

It seems.

They say it's near Olive Town, but the scope of this 'nearby' is quite large.

The four of them were observing from the woods not far away.

Each of them used their own means to hide.

There are four or five small cabins on the platform.

From time to time, Bahadur's black-robed wizards came in and out, and these wizards were obviously younger.

Through the open door, one can see the alchemical cauldron with a siphon tube inserted, the crystal ball mounted on a brass tripod, and other research equipment.

Among them, Seamus seems to be the leader of this group of young mages.

He held a recording stone in one hand.

While explaining something to the void, he occasionally answered or communicated with the young mages' research questions.

The heroine Gray said solemnly, "There are 18 mages, most of them are around level 4 or 5, two are level 7, and the highest is the one holding the recording stone, who is mid-level 7."

talking.

Next to her, the half-deer human Kira paused from her prophetic state with her eyes closed.

The round deer eyes opened.

"There aren't many magic mines, spell reversals, lightning engravings, and elemental barriers. I can guide you around them."

Tai Li tilted her head and asked in confusion, "Why do we have to go around? It's only level seven."

Miss Succubus had her sights raised after the battle at Coral Bay. She had even met the top ninth-rank Grand Duke of Purgatory, let alone the seventh-rank.

"The synergy between the mages is very powerful. With so many of them, even if they are only at level four or five, they cannot be underestimated."

Kira thought she hadn't experienced much combat, and explained gently.

Heroine Grey nodded:

"We're not mages, not only do we lack the necessary skills, but we're also outnumbered, so many tactics won't work. I suggest waiting until night, setting a fire, and then launching a surprise attack."

"set fire?"

Tai Li was stunned for a moment, then turned back to look at her master angrily.

Not to mention setting fire in the mountain forests, she didn't even dare to light a fire in front of her master.

You said you wanted to set fire?
A certain ranger might not be happy.
Rod looked at Terry's innocent and obedient expression as she looked up and peeked, and found it inexplicably funny.

It wasn't you who proposed it, so why are you feeling guilty?
He smiled and pinched her face, which seemed like it could squeeze water out of it.

"No need to go through so much trouble, just attack with force."

Hear the words.

Gray stroked her chin, not immediately objecting to the suggestion.

Instead, there was a fighting spirit in his eyes.

Rhodes remembered that the heroine's fighting style was similar to that of the military, so he guessed that she might have retired from the army of the Heavenly Flower Kingdom.

I think she personally prefers this kind of direct attack.

"Yes, I don't have [Dark Vision], so I can use my strength better during the day."

"Lord Gray! Last time you challenged that Minotaur despite being outclassed, you were nearly killed! You promised me you wouldn't take risks again!"

Kira became anxious and immediately objected. "With Mr. Rhodes this time, he's a high-level seventh-level expert, so there won't be any problems."

"That won't work either. Miss Terry, you definitely don't want Mr. Rhodes to take any risks, right?!"

It had been a long time since Terry had her face pinched by her master.

She was happily rubbing his palm, and when she heard the question, she subconsciously said:

"No, I like watching Lord Rhodes fight. It always makes me itch~~"

"Varied"

Kira was speechless.

Gray made up her mind and stopped caring about the half-deer girl.

He stretched his shoulders, his fighting spirit surging.

"I'll attract their attention from the front first. Mr. Rhodes, you will conduct close combat and focus on destroying their spellcasting formation."

Rhode pried open Terry's arms and grabbed the heroine Grey who was about to go out on a date.

"?"

"One strong attack from me is enough. You and Terry can just deal with the guys who try to escape."

"what are you saying?"

Gray frowned, thinking this guy was talking nonsense.

Rod didn't argue with her.

He cancelled the invisibility effect of the magic ring and swaggered out of the woods.

"Hey!"

Gray smacked her lips. "Then there's a change of plan. Mr. Rhodes will attract attention head-on, while Ms. Terry and I will go around to disrupt the spell formation."

The voice just fell.

A rapid sound of magical friction suddenly rang out.

She looked up and saw a huge flame that had appeared in the air at some point and was quickly shrinking.

At a speed visible to the naked eye, the flames compressed into a violent bright blue lightning.

In the blink of an eye, it hit Rhodes' chest.

Then there was a loud explosion.

In an instant, thick black smoke and violent sparks filled the sky.

same time.

The earthen ground was affected and bombarded by the huge magical energy, and a powerful cavity effect exploded in an instant.

Mud, charred debris, and uprooted trees were blasted into the air.

Gray's face changed drastically.

This level is obviously greater than the magic trap just now.

She suddenly looked towards the camp platform not far away.

The image of the busy mages suddenly became blurred, and then distorted like a portrait.

Illusion?

No. It's more than that.

Kira, a half-deer man, has the ability to see through illusions.

Kira looked panicked at this moment, obviously unaware of the situation.

"Could it be the domain?!"

There was a crash.

The curtain of illusionary magic falls.

Reveal the truth on the camp platform.

——A team of mages who were already prepared and maintained a neat spellcasting formation.

The quantity is correct.

18 people in total.

Six are level seven, and the rest are all level six.

Defensive barriers for combat spellcasting formations, accelerated resonance magic, redundant energy collection and reuse, rituals for composite spell matrices, and so on.
The outer interference zone, the middle control zone, the core protection zone, the tactical countermeasure layer, the killing terminal, and the retreat plan are all available.

Gray's eye twitched.

A spell formation that combines defense, field control, and explosive damage.

She's seen this.

It was on the battlefield between Eselon and the Heavenly Flower Kingdom.
