Witch, don't be so lazy
Page 182
Although some friendly fire occurred due to the short adjustment period, most of the magic was still successfully launched.
In addition to these direct attacks, auxiliary magic was also used.
Encouragement, Flesh Strengthening, Mass Lightness, Eagle Eyes, Agile Reaction... Some spells fall on the heavy infantry at the beginning of the battle, while others fall later, because some spells have a very short duration, usually measured in minutes, and also have a decay rate.
Of course, the most important thing is that not everyone can cast spells perfectly when they are nervous, and there is no way to chant spells continuously. They spend some time to ensure that these enhancements can fall on the armored knights.
Those knights were all the best among the soldiers, with the best armor and weapons, and their war horses were all carefully selected. They were clad in heavy armor, with sharp eyes, and the mist they exhaled from their snorts was like white frost.
Because they were encouraged, and the animals in the fairy tale kingdom were different, they showed no fear even when they had to rush into the battlefield.
The inspiring horn sounded.
The knights lowered their spears, which were engraved with spell patterns, and drove their horses to charge from the side. Amid the roar of iron hooves hitting the ground, the armor rubbed against each other, and forty-five black-armored cavalrymen turned into a steel torrent under the moonlight.
Although compared with the magic apprentices in Asda City, they did not seem to master a variety of magic, but they were just like those in fairy tales, with strong physique and extraordinary martial arts.
Or to put it another way, in Anke's opinion, the knights can be regarded as having specialized low-level breathing techniques, and their weapon proficiency is almost equal to that of Celine Weir. They just don't know the "Holy Flame Curse", and their perception gained from rich experience is not as good as the "Danger Perception" enhanced by Xiao Anri.
Their performance on the battlefield was also amazing.
The front row of cone formations was led by twelve flag-bearing lancers. Their nearly three-meter-long black iron lances pointed forward at a forty-five-degree angle, and the tail of the lance was firmly fastened to the saddle with an iron chain. This was a deadly design that gained penetrating power at the cost of dislocating the entire arm.
When the trolls swung their maces, the cavalry formation suddenly changed its formation like a flock of geese. The light cavalry on both wings suddenly accelerated, and the lassoes woven from animal skins made a whistling sound in the air. The moment the necks of the three trolls rushing in the front were lassoed, the cavalry on the flanks suddenly spurred their horses in the opposite direction, and with their brute force, they actually dragged the five-meter-tall monsters to their knees.
The knights seized this split second of opportunity, and used their horse's speed to pierce the troll's body with their spears. The charge was completed in the split second of dislocation. In order to reduce the force of the recoil, most of the knights' spears had a solid steel front end and a wooden shaft in the middle, which would break at the moment of the stab, otherwise the reaction force would throw the knight off the horse.
"Armor-piercing cone!
Following the commander's roar, the cavalrymen all pulled the saddle mechanism, and a three-foot-long spiral steel spike suddenly shot out from the front end of the dense steel lance. The sharp blade with barbs completed its last rotation in the troll's body, and then exploded with the light of the rune.
Even a troll with [Advanced Supernatural Regeneration], restricted by its rank, could only turn into a pile of smelly minced meat after suffering such a horrific injury.
After using up their disposable weapons, the knights drew out their swords, hooks or scimitars with almost no pause, and used them to meet the monsters that were close at hand.
Not long after, almost at the same time, Ukebak and Sabertooth Leopard also met their own death.
The former was first struck by an arrow, and then by two chained hunting spears, which were bloody weapons with barbs, and which, by the force of the horse's power, inflicted horrible wounds, and the horned lion died under the cold bill-hook of the spear;
The fate of the latter was not much different. Their tusks would get stuck in their heavy armor, and the steel thorns formed by the sickle spears would collide with the horses with great force, all of which repeatedly frustrated their ghostly figures, and eventually turned them into a mass of rotten meat under the weapons.
"Amazing!"
Feiman watched intently. She was now a member of the logistics team, staying in the rear of the expeditionary force together with the blacksmith, pharmacist, scout, cook, alchemist and others.
Before, Feiman had seen the guards of Windmill City going to the wilderness to clear out bandits, which made her feel respect at the time, but compared with this group of knights, they were nothing.
Of course, if compared with Miss White Snake, the latter definitely wins more.
She's so young, yet she possesses such powerful magic, is incredibly beautiful, and has a better personality than you'd imagine...
Feiman secretly glanced at the person next to her, and found that the pharmacist girl, who had looked interested at the beginning, now frowned and looked serious.
I was interested because Encore finally got to see an interesting large-scale battle, and it also fit in perfectly with my own imagination of medieval swords and sorcery.
When she first traveled through time, she had thought about whether she should first become a knight's squire, practice breathing techniques, and then slowly look for an opportunity to become a wizard. She was even worried that as a commoner girl, she would encounter a lot of disgusting things.
However, after learning that there was a school for the public in the North and that magic was so easy to obtain, she immediately felt relieved. At the same time, she also had some good feelings towards the High Tower Council in the North - after all, according to those adventurers and bards, magic is not something that is so easy to come into contact with in the southern continent.
Closer to home.
As Anke jumped onto the surrounding vines and noticed some details on the battlefield, she no longer had the mind to look at the seats.
"what happened?"
The little coward asked in a low voice. She didn't climb up the vine because, on the one hand, she was clumsy, and on the other hand, she was afraid that if she showed her head, something terrible might fly over and turn her into a dead coward.
She had previously huddled behind Encore, but now she had no place to hide and could only look up eagerly. She regretted that Miss White Snake's cloak was still too much of a hindrance, blocking her view.
"Something's wrong. Aren't the creatures of the Dark Forest said to be disunited? They're more united than I thought. Even with such heavy casualties, no one has escaped."
An Ke looked ahead and answered in a low voice.
The battlefield has now become a meat grinder. Not only cavalry, heavy infantry, but even spellcasters have begun to fight the monsters at close range.
It is possible to leave the wonderland, but when the opponent was at a disadvantage, no creature turned around and ran away. Even the timid goblins and the treacherous green-robed bandits all fought to the death despite suffering casualties.
"Also, the opponent's high-end combat power is more than expected. There are first-level warriors and three second-level warriors."
Those trolls, Uckbacks and saber-toothed cats should all be first-level, and they were quickly killed at the cost of certain casualties to the knights.
However, the battle reached a stalemate.
Because the crystal centipede, which was more than ten meters long, was rushing forward like a small train. As a second-level monster, it was no longer something the knights could easily deal with.
Be it bows, crossbows, or thrown spears, none of them could break the crystal shells. Only by charging with lances on warhorses and exploding with spell patterns could the surface crystal be destroyed and some of the flesh inside be damaged.
However, the knights could only achieve so much despite their best efforts, and even the heavy infantry who came to support them were of no avail.
Because when the crystal centipede opened its ugly mouthparts, the cold air and ice crystals it spewed out spread out in a fan shape. The knight and the warhorse in the front froze in pain, and then swung its terrifying body.
Like a ruthless desktop cleaning master, those poor people and horses were turned into piles of debris by the strange force.
The mummy on the other side is no pushover either. It is also a second-level dark creature. Wherever it passes, it leaves corrosive black footprints. The bandages it swings out can be dozens of meters long. Like a cunning poisonous snake, every attack can take away a life.
Although the bandage does not seem to be hard and can be cut by weapons, it can suddenly turn into black sand at the moment of breaking. Not to mention flesh and blood, even weapons and armor that have been tempered for thousands of times can still be corroded to create honeycomb-like holes.
"Your Highness, Princess, Master Fairy, Guard Your Excellency!"
Seeing the bad situation on the battlefield, Rapunzel yelled anxiously,
"Don't delay any longer. The casualties are already very serious."
She had already started to move when the crystal centipede attacked. As she jumped, her long wheat-colored hair stretched out like a snake.
Unfortunately, her abilities were not suitable for dealing with the centipede. After trying several times and failing to destroy the shell, she turned to stop the mummy's bandages.
But what disappointed Rapunzel was that even after she spoke, the princess, the fairies, and the guards were still watching.
As we all know, whether in the real world or the fairy tale kingdom, in a war of extraordinary powers, in most cases, the fighting and sacrifice of the weak can usually only play three roles - delaying time, paving the way for magic or rituals, and consuming the magic power of the enemy's strong ones.
Those knights, heavy infantry, and spellcasters knew their mission and were ready to sacrifice.
But according to the previous customs of the fairy tale kingdom, it is impossible for everyone to watch their compatriots die. Even Mr. Armor, who is always known for his hard-heartedness, values the lives of his soldiers very much.
If it were here, it would have taken action the moment the crystal centipede's shell shattered. It would never have ignored the loss of life just to consume magic power and further observe the enemy's capabilities.
However, the princess, the guards, and the fairy acted as if they hadn't heard anything, their gazes lingering on the third enemy for a long time.
It was a guy covered in a black cloak, standing alone behind those dark creatures. There seemed to be some invisible ground around him, and the crossbow arrows shot at him would suddenly fall.
Similar to the other two, the cloaked man also remained motionless, quietly observing the changes on the battlefield.
Of course, this is only apparent.
"Eye of Judgment", An may have noticed that the opponent's magic power has been circulating rapidly, that is, it is constantly consumed and immediately replenished, causing the magic power to decay more slowly.
As for what the cloaked man was doing - looking at the fallen corpses and the ground that no one cared about due to the violent shaking, An Ke narrowed his eyes, as if he had discovered something wriggling.
White mycelium.
However, it seemed that she didn't need to remind them, as the others also keenly noticed the problem.
"Tsk, that's ridiculous. Do you know who you're acting in front of?"
Tully seemed amused, giving him a look of contempt and disdain.
As a druid, she has extraordinary attainments in the School of Nature. Among the younger generation of the entire Elf Forest, there are only three people who are stronger than her. No, after obtaining the "Blood of Golden Berries", she is definitely the strongest. Those three people are just older, which makes them higher in rank than her.
Whether it's plant magic or transformation, even if she is at the first level in the entire world, there is almost no one else who can match her.
With a sneer, Tali raised her hand, and a dark green light flashed at her fingertips.
All of a sudden.
Suddenly, a large number of poisonous vines rose from the ground like mud dragons breaking out of the earth. The vines were as thick as an adult man's waist, and their surface was covered with dark purple nodules and arm-long thorns.
Amidst everyone's astonishment, along with the poison ivy, large patches of white fungal carpets appeared. At first glance, they looked like they were covered with a thick layer of frost, or perhaps a huge amount of spider silk.
It was just a little unexpected that the hyphae seemed endless, as if they had eaten away the ground. Although a large part of them were torn apart by the poison ivy, there were still many. They also carried strange spores, some of which emitted strange light, and some cooperated with the hyphae to penetrate into the poison ivy.
"...Tsk, fungal tides, spores, and rot, you crowned flower demons are truly disgusting!"
Looking at this skill, she immediately understood the other party's background, a disgusting northern flower fairy, a witch from the evil camp.
Tali cursed with great disgust, her tone filled with annoyance and dissatisfaction, but when she looked at the cloaked man, there was a hint of pride in her eyes.
It’s not like the other party is the only one who knows about the secret actions.
The moment the word "disgusting" was uttered, a number of black starlings flew out from the dense forest behind the cloaked man.
【Twelve Starlings】
Why are the skills given by the princess card so powerful?
As a mid-level spell, the skill has a control distance of more than 200 meters. It has a concealing function in normal conditions and can be integrated into an angel projection at critical moments. Apart from consuming a lot of magic power, it has almost no disadvantages.
But there are forests all around here. Not only does the flower fairy on the other side have the blessing of the venue, but she, as an elf druid, also has it, and her magic power recovery speed is not slow.
After all the hard work, it’s time for you to die!
A fierce look flashed in Tali's eyes, and she controlled the starlings to attack the flower demon suddenly. The surging poisonous vines did not stop either. One part strangled the ice crystal centipede, and the other part also attacked the flower demon.
Unfortunately.
A voice rang in my ears, "That's fake, chase it!"
The young priest of the church shouted loudly, and then decisively rushed towards the trial area "Spring Path".
Tali let out a loud "tsk" and caught a glimpse of light green hair at the entrance. She then looked at the torn cloak, revealing a white human figure woven from mycelium.
She finally controlled the poison ivy and hit the crystal centipede hard, but seeing that the monster was still struggling, she could only snort in dissatisfaction, "Go!"
If possible, Tali really wanted to stay and kill the centipede and the mummy.
On the one hand, you can try to devour and see if you can get a new transformation; on the other hand, you have to complete exclusive tasks and kill the characters with status in the dark camp. These two are definitely in line with each other.
But there is no way.
She must now make her way to the Spring Path.
Because the witch did not choose to turn around and leave Wonderland, but instead plunged into the trial, and considering that she had once quickly passed the magician's trial, Tali really didn't dare to gamble.
Especially after completing the trial, in addition to getting the ticket of the messenger of destiny, you can also get gifts from the other party to improve your combat effectiveness in the fairy tale island.
If the other party got two tickets and two gifts, Tully would not have much confidence in defeating him.
Besides, the guys in the church were so active that it really made her wary.
It would be better to take advantage of the fact that everyone is in the wonderland in the forest, so that I can use hidden means to forcibly reverse some things.
Tali raised her head and looked at the fairy on the Tree of Four Seasons with admiration. She saluted her and gave an order to the guards. Then the two of them rushed into the trial site.
Rapunzel was left with a bewildered and uneasy look on her face, and she only finished half of her words:
"Your Highness, I beg you to use the power bestowed by the Virgin Mary to heal the wounded present..."
After her princess took action, she had finally put down the heavy stone in her heart, but in the blink of an eye, she fell into even greater confusion and panic.
In addition to discovering that the poison vines summoned by Her Royal Highness the Princess completely ignored the soldiers on the field, he also couldn't understand why the other side only left one person, but three of their side had to leave, and why didn't they deal with the battlefield first before leaving.
Although the crystal centipede was seriously injured, the mummy did not suffer too much.
On the other hand, our side.
The battle between poison ivy and mycelium spores just now affected almost all the expeditionary soldiers who had not been injured.
This certainly shocked Rapunzel at the strength of the enemy and Her Royal Highness the Princess, but at the same time she couldn't help but feel a bit strange and inexplicable chill.
Were the three people participating in the competition truly creatures from the fairy tale kingdom? Why did they become like this?
The princess who symbolizes kindness and justice, the fairy who has protected the area for a long time, and the loyal and brave guards, all seem to be inconsistent with the impression.
But what made Rapunzel even more helpless was how she could deal with two terrifying monsters at the same time and prevent the soldiers from dying as much as possible. This was completely impossible...
No, maybe there are still some expectations.
She remembered that she had previously seen that at the critical moment, the commanders among the knights all took the "Silver Moon Vine Prayer" at the same time.
Those were potions the princess had concocted using her own holy blood. They must be incredibly powerful, perhaps granting the knights a brief burst of increased strength, potentially turning the tide of battle...
Some commanders who took the potion have already collapsed, and some seem to be about to collapse.
Fortunately, he didn't die.
Because she rolled them back with her hair, and the injured heavy infantrymen took the lead again at some point.
Huh? Weird?
