Sword of Dawn

After observing, the high-level elf ranger jumped down from the boulder, and ordered concisely: "It's safe here, rest for three to ten minutes."

The Typhon soldiers immediately found a hiding place in place, seized the time to relax their waists and legs, and drank and ate food—although they were all elite troops, no matter how elite the troops were, it was impossible for all of them to be extraordinary professionals like Solderin, Typhon The empire's most powerful main army is still composed of 90.00% ordinary people, and this team of only a dozen people includes a high-level elf ranger, three low-level knights, and a mage, which is already quite The proportion of extraordinary people is astonishing, but low-level extraordinary people still need to rest in this situation.

The soldiers began to regain their strength, and at the same time they discussed in low voices what they had seen and heard after entering the Dark Mountains - this restricted area of ​​death that was said to be cut off from the outside world was not as terrifying as the legends in their eyes, although after entering the mountains they encountered There were some monsters that were mutated and deformed due to the influence of magic power, but no hopeless and powerful enemies appeared. Instead, the steep mountains and some poisonous plants appeared more dangerous.

Although everyone knows that they are walking next to the wasteland of Gondor, as long as they don't go to the southern foot of the mountain range to face the Black Forest, the pressure of the wasteland of Gondor will not make them too nervous.

A knight-level warrior took out a map-drawing tool, and marked the key forks and mountain road directions on the rough hand-painted map, while his companion took out a metal cylinder with a small hole, opened the cylinder After that, a pitch-black "flying insect" was released from it. With a slight sound, the black flying insect rushed into the sky like lightning, and quickly disappeared from the soldiers' sight.

This thing that looks like a flying insect is actually the creation of crazy experiments by magicians. A trace of thin lineage of monsters makes it have an extremely fast flying speed and can be trained artificially. Flying insects can conveniently confirm the situation and location of each team, which is a very useful thing.

Solderin looked up at the direction where the flying insects disappeared, then retracted his gaze, leaned on the rock and closed his eyes to rest his mind. His overly neutral face was covered by long golden hair, which made people who didn't know the truth the first At first glance, she might even be regarded as a heroic female warrior-but none of the Typhon soldiers resting nearby would despise this slim-looking elf ranger, because the ranger's reputation can be described as Known far and near.

"Blonde Solderin", this is his popular name in Typhon's mercenary circles, and this name is obviously related to his blond hair - but only those who know the silver elves You will understand the true meaning of this name and understand the powerful force behind this name.

The silver elves are an ancient race living in the southern part of the mainland. These forest family members whose bloodline is closest to the ancient "primordial elves" have many differences from humans. In addition to their special brain structure and supporting elf spells, silver elves Another feature of the elves is their hair color that changes as their strength increases-the silver elves in a non-combat state all have blond hair, but as they stimulate the hidden power in their bodies, the powerful magic will lead to Their hair is infected by elemental power. When a silver elf exerts 70.00% of its power, its hair color will completely turn to silvery white, and its combat power will also rise in a straight line until they end their power explosion.

This is where the words "Silver Elf" come from.

However, no one has ever seen the appearance of "Blonde Solderling" after his strength has been increased to [-]% - he always faces his enemies with the most indifferent and calm attitude, even in the face of the greatest challenge, he The blond hair never changed either.

As a result, he won this very special title.

Chapter 0251 Drill and Improvement Plan for Melee Weapons

With the continuous development of the territory, the population gathered on this land has reached more than [-], and the Cecil Combat Corps has also undergone a new round of expansion in the process-similar to the system of the Construction Corps and the magic opponents. With the great help of production and construction, the Cecil Territory still maintains a fairly high military-to-civilian ratio, and at the same time, it has not affected the development and operation of the territory too much.

Gao Wen has always believed in one thing: troubled times are coming, whether it is monsters in the wasteland of Gondor or wars between human kingdoms, they will find themselves sooner or later, and in order to deal with the coming danger, build a powerful armed force It is necessary and inevitable.

With the expansion of the Cecil Combat Corps and the gradual improvement of various administrative frameworks in the territory, Gao Wen's training for this army has become more formal and rigorous. Gao Wen formulated military regulations that were clearer, stricter, and easier to count rewards and punishments. He stipulated the allowances and treatment of sergeants at each level, stipulated the basic conduct of soldiers, and stipulated how to supervise the army and how to count Military merit, how to punish dereliction of duty, and in order to allow these system regulations to be implemented, he also ordered the two knights, Philip and Byron, to select a group of literate, honest and reliable people from among the young soldiers to serve as grassroots commanders—— The night school teachers should be thanked for their efforts. Now that there are more and more people who can read and write in the territory, it is not difficult to select such a group of grassroots commanders.

Gawain himself is not a person who understands military affairs, but fortunately Gawain Cecil is an expert in this field, and coupled with the theory accumulated as a keyboard warrior in his previous life, he finally built this framework.

After the framework is established and the system is established, what remains is almost brainwashing recruit education and endless drills, making all the rules and regulations and codes of conduct into conditioned reflexes, engraved on every Cecil In the bones of soldiers.

In the military area on the east side of the territory, the recruits are undergoing daily physical training. These people who were ordinary farmers and handymen not long ago are now wearing the standard Cecil armor, and they are carrying on their backs the same weight as the combat backpack. A training backpack with a steel gauntlet about the same size and weight as the magic terminal was strapped to his arm. With this equipment, he carried out training in the open space, while Gawain stood with the two knights, Byron and Philip, Pay attention to the training of soldiers.

From time to time, the veterans who acted as instructors yelled and cursed from the field, but today there were no complaints and booing from the recruits.

"To be honest, the queue training you advocated was really useful." Byron looked at the recruits who had been able to line up in just a few days, and couldn't help but sigh, "After some practice, At least their obedience has gone up."

Philip Cavaliers lamented something else: "Take the simplified code of chivalry as the code of conduct for soldiers, and require everyone to do it. I really didn't expect this to be possible."

"As long as the drills are in place, let them memorize the daily learning content in their bones like a conditioned reflex, so that even if they don't know anything about chivalry, they will follow suit," Gawain said casually, "Cecil Combat Corps It is a very special army, they want to protect this land and the people on the land, and the people must fully support them, only in this way can we gain a firm foothold in this dangerous wasteland border."

Knight Byron sighed: "Ordinary private soldiers of the nobles are mostly rogues and soldiers. Even if they come from civilians, as long as they wear the emblem of the nobles and have a sword in hand, they will not hesitate to blackmail the civilians." , because the nobles only need these private soldiers to protect their castles... Occasionally, some chivalrous nobles will notice the discipline of the army, and they will strictly demand their soldiers, but only strictly. It's the first time I've seen a lot of rules and systems like you to restrain soldiers."

"Individual morality will eventually perish with the demise of the individual. Only perfect systems and regulations can ensure that discipline is still effective after personnel rotation." Gao Wen smiled. "Of course, even if there are perfect systems and regulations, the world will not There is no eternal kingdom or order, but groups that are at least institutionally bound survive longer than those that collapse when the leader dies."

"Will personal morality eventually perish with the demise of the individual..." Knight Philip showed an expression of admiration, but he couldn't help frowning after hearing the second part of Gawain's words, "You mean, even if there is With these perfect institutional constraints that you formulated, the Cecil Territory will one day...will follow in the footsteps of those who perished?"

"If future generations don't know how to cherish it," Gao Wen spread his hands, "No matter how good the foundation is, there will always be a day."

Knight Philip's face straightened: "You don't have to be so pessimistic, you..."

Gao Wen waved his hand without waiting for the other party to finish speaking: "Don't say nonsense like 'your great achievements will last forever', they are all fooling fools and dead people, I don't expect this - when I was buried that year Someone carved the words 'great achievements forever' on the head of the grave, and the grave was dug up when I opened my eyes again - since that day, I no longer believe such compliments."

Cavalier Philip was stunned for a while, unable to speak for a while, while Cavalier Byron next to him patted Philip on the shoulder vigorously, laughing so hard that his ribs almost broke: "Let you brag to someone with experience. "

Gawain glanced at Byron, who had no chivalrous demeanor: "Don't laugh too—I asked you to conceive a new type of melee weapon that conforms to Cecil's fighting style and magic technology. Do you have any ideas?"

Due to the discovery of the "Rebel" fortress, the ruins in the mountain are undergoing large-scale cleaning and restoration. Gao Wen wants to restore the middle-level area of ​​the ruins and use it as Cecil's "Ancient Technology Research Center" and the second industrial base. And considering that Knight Byron had organized explorations in the ruins before winter and now had such remarkable achievements, Gawain gave him a few days off so that he would have time to go back to the surface to bask in the sun, and to return to the ruins. stay with Pea at home—but in line with the principle of making the best use of people, Gawain also gave Byron a relatively easy task, which is to let him think about what else his soldiers need, so that he can design Sergeant Improvements to the melee weapons of the Cyril Combatants.

Originally, he was just asking casually, and he didn't expect that this mercenary knight who usually idled would get any results so quickly, but he didn't expect Byron to show a smug smile immediately: "You are asking the right question, I really have something. some ideas!"

"Oh?" Gao Wen was a little surprised, "Let's hear it."

"Wait a minute, I still have a blueprint!" Byron said happily, "It's at home—it's not far from here, I'll come whenever I go!"

Byron was super mobile, and after getting Gawain's permission, he sprinted and charged all the way and disappeared on the training ground, leaving Gawain and Philip staring at each other, and it took a while for Philip Knight to say: "He Can you still draw magic blueprints?"

Byron's residence on Knights Street was very close to the barracks, and coupled with the fast pace of professional knights, Gawain didn't have to wait long to see the knight running back in a hurry. Not a small roll of paper, it must be the blueprint he was talking about.

"That's it," Byron came to Gawain, and excitedly unfolded the blueprint, "I worked on this with a few rune craftsmen from the Machinery Manufacturing Institute—you know, things like drawing blueprints I'm not very good at..."

Only then did Gao Wen nodded in understanding, and at the same time his attention had been attracted by what was on the blueprint—it was indeed a blueprint for some kind of melee weapon, which was shaped like a sword, and it could be seen that it was just a Conceptual framework—the handle and the root of the sword blade can be seen as places reserved for runes and magic devices, but there is no exact structure yet, and there are many functional requirements or ideas written next to the drawings. It's not over yet.

Byron also noticed the imperfections in the drawing, and he smiled: "The results haven't been discussed yet, and there are many things that are controversial."

Gao Wen had already seen what he expected from the design drawing of the sword, and immediately said, "Don't be afraid of controversy, just tell us your opinion."

"That's right, you should know that I was a mercenary back then—the difference between a mercenary and a professional knight or soldier is that we don't have so many set-ups and rules, and both weapons and combat methods are based on practicality. , laymen look at our equipment and think that it is disorganized, but we know that every weapon and equipment exists because it is 'needed', and it has its own corresponding use environment and scene," Byron said very rarely He took the initiative to mention his mercenary experience, and began to talk about his thoughts, "So I was thinking-under what circumstances do our soldiers need to use melee weapons, and what kind of battlefield environment these melee weapons have to face? of?"

He paused, and then said: "Cecil Combatants already have a thermal energy ray gun—it is said that higher-level arcane missile launchers and electric energy spears have also entered the design stage, and the power of these things is getting bigger and bigger. , and if the soldiers use them in groups, they can even directly kill mid-level transcendents. These long-range attacks are enough for them to destroy most of the enemies, so there are only two reasons why they use melee weapons: first, their own long-range The weapon doesn't work for some reason, like it's broken, and second, the enemy has strong magic resistance or simply has something like 'arrow deflection'.

"The second situation is obviously the most countermeasure should be considered.

"Soldiers don't lack magic attacks, what they lack is more powerful physical lethality—the rune craftsmen and I ruled out the traditional scheme of enchanting elements on the blade to increase magic damage, and instead found ways to increase The pure destructive power of swords. In this regard, the more common methods are physical enchanting effects such as sharpness, aggravation, and armor piercing. So we didn't even consider...

"Finally, we have two plans, one is 'Mechanical Sword' and the other is 'Mechanical Sword'..."

Chapter 0252 Melting Sword and Patrol

At first, Gawain chose to ask Byron for a weapon improvement plan because he liked the middle-aged knight's early mercenary experience.

Unlike orthodox promoted noble knights or mages, mercenaries usually do not have such perfect training conditions and good inheritance norms, but they have their own set of methods to make up for their shortcomings - rich combat experience and adaptability It is their reliance on blood on the tip of the knife. A mercenary must understand various combat environments, be familiar with the strengths and weaknesses of various weapons, and clearly know how to solve crises in various environments, so that they Only by living for a long time-Byron is fully satisfied with this.

Knight Philip is indeed a powerful and talented knight, but his knowledge is too dogmatic and old-fashioned. Facing Cecil's armaments and brand-new fighting concepts, which are being updated rapidly today, he can guarantee that he will not fall behind. , and asking him to make a breakthrough idea on the basis of traditional weapons and equipment is probably more difficult than forcing Amber to walk through the door...

Knight Byron summarized the characteristics of the current Cecil combat soldiers, and found the improvement route for the melee equipment that the soldiers needed, and these two sets of plans were quite attractive in Gawain's view.

"The mechanical sword plan is inspired by the magic engines that are more and more widely used in the current territory," Knight Byron began to explain his thoughts, "Those engines are so powerful that even a professional knight in plate armor is transformed by a machine. One round will kill or disable, so some rune craftsmen consider using the power of the machine on the sword-they consider installing a small repulsion mechanism in the hilt, and use the repulsion mechanism to vibrate the blade or drive the serrated structure, so that it can easily tear apart the enemy's armor.

"The melting and cutting sword plan abandoned the mechanical structure, and continued to find a way out from the effect similar to 'enchantment'. A rune craftsman proposed that an array of flame runes could be added to the sword body, using magic capacitors to supply energy. Runes can make the blade reach an extremely high temperature - we can use very high temperature resistant purple steel to cast the blade. The steel heated by the fire rune is no longer a magic effect, and the enemy's magic resistance is against It is useless, and the extremely high-temperature purple steel blade can easily destroy most of the conventional metal armor in the world, or cause great damage to more sophisticated magic robes and mage shields. Its damage to lightly armored enemies is even more fatal.

"Of course, compared to the sawtooth driven by machinery, the destruction efficiency of high-heat blades may be slightly lower, and it is no different when encountering those local tyrants whose armor is covered with mithril and fine gold--then again, if it is true When encountering armor made of mithril and fine gold, the mechanical sword is also useless..."

At this moment, Gawain's mind was already full of chainsaw swords and plasma blades flying around...

It took him a lot of effort to push back the fancy things that were jumping around in his mind, while maintaining the majesty of the ancestor who revealed the coffin on his face. After thinking about the two options seriously, he denied one of them: "Mechanical Swords are out of the question."

"Uh...we haven't discussed the results yet..." Byron was stunned for a moment, but he didn't expect Gao Wen to directly deny the seemingly most promising of the two extremely valuable proposals so quickly, "Why do you think The mechanical sword is not feasible?"

"The mechanical structure is too complicated, the stability is poor, the maintenance is difficult, the cost is high, and it is not easy to mass-produce. Moreover, the repulsion mechanism at this stage still has relatively large mechanical vibration, which will affect the use of soldiers." Gao Wen shook his head and said, "Don't forget I have reminded you at the beginning: Only weapons that can be mass-produced are good weapons. To this sentence, one more sentence must be added: Equipment that can withstand harsh environments is good equipment. It is a pity that the mechanical sword is inferior to these two points. Not enough... at least our technology is not enough at this stage.

"The sword will frequently collide with the opponent's weapon or armor. In the continuous collision, the gears and connecting rods in the hilt are prone to problems, and besides-the movable tooth structure means that it is more fragile, It is easier to wear and tear, even if we mass-produce this thing regardless of the cost, it will crumble if you saw the armor a few times on the battlefield, so there is no practicality at all.”

Byron was stunned for a moment, and finally realized the huge problem: "That's right! I didn't expect..."

However, Gawain didn't think it was Byron's problem—it's true that he has rich experience, but when a new magic energy industry technology is mixed into a matter, his judgment will inevitably go wrong—he just Seeing the infinite power of the magic engine, how do you know how the precision parts in the machine work.

To be honest, Gao Wen regretted the idea of ​​negating the mechanical sword - a chainsaw sword with steel teeth whirling as the engine turns is a man's romance, but the current industrial foundation really can't do it like this. I am afraid that the battlefield will be overturned...

However, compared to the mechanical sword with obvious shortcomings, the idea of ​​the melting sword is very feasible.

It is not uncommon to use runes to heat things. The reactors in the alchemy factory are now heated with fire runes, but ordinary fire rune heating devices can only produce high temperatures of several hundred degrees, far from smelting The degree of metal, but Rebecca has been improving the magic circle of the fire system recently-she is trying to simplify the common trap-like magic circle of "hot land" into a general-purpose rune group, and the simplified rune The text group is used in iron and steel factories to change the status quo of still burning firewood and charcoal in forges, and it is said to be close to success.

Presumably, the rune craftsmen did not think of using fire runes to make high-heat blades until they heard the news.

"Think more about the melting sword, it's a good way," Gawain returned the blueprint to Byron, watched him put away the blueprint, and suddenly asked again, "By the way, I see the tentative weapon in the plan The category is a one-handed sword?"

"Oh yes, a one-handed sword," Byron nodded as he rolled up the drawing, "Now the soldiers have installed force field shields in their magic terminals, which means that they have a shield available at any time on the battlefield. Therefore, the sword in one hand and the shield in the other hand are the most useful in melee combat. Philip Knight has started training in this area recently."

Cavalier Philip, who had been watching Gawain and Byron curiously studying the blueprints, finally broke the silence at this moment, and nodded: "I'm asking soldiers to use force field shields and ordinary one-handed swords for combat training—— The force field shield has no weight and does not affect the line of sight like ordinary shields, so the content of combat training must be reconsidered."

Gawain nodded in satisfaction when he heard it—once again, the outsiders discovered the characteristics of the new technology on their own initiative. It seems that there are many things that he really doesn't need to worry about...

At the same time, in the dark mountain range on the southeast side of the territory, a group of heavily armed Cecil combat soldiers was patrolling the mountain road.

Under normal circumstances, there are no patrols in the depths of the dark mountains. On the one hand, there are insufficient manpower, and on the other hand, it is very difficult to patrol the wild primitive forests, and it is difficult to arrange sentry posts. Therefore, in addition to arranging a few fixed lookout posts to monitor the In the direction of Duo Wasteland, Gawain did not arrange more patrol teams in the mountains to prevent the aberrations from attacking the territory again.

But recently, there are several more inspection routes in the mountains.

This is because the rough homme has already been mined.

With the help of Rebecca Crystal, the progress of the new mine was not affected even in winter. The area where the original stone of Hom was discovered has now become an open-pit mining site. After several crystal collapses, large areas of the original stone veins were exposed. A large number of miners and soldiers were sent to the newly opened open-pit mining field. They built strongholds around the mining field. In order to prevent wild beasts and monsters from threatening the mining field, several new patrol routes were added around the mining field. .

It is a very hard job to patrol the Dark Mountains on this freezing day, but the soldiers are still conscientiously walking on their own routes. They wear magic armor that has just been finalized and mass-produced, and are equipped with general-purpose armor. The military magic terminal is fully focused on the patrol road without letting up.

This is not only because the "soldier ethics" that Gao Wen constantly promotes has been deeply implanted in their minds, but also because the recruits of the combat corps are all selected from civilians, and even after enlisting, they have to carry out continuous training as the construction corps. With the full-time construction of the territory, coupled with the various house building and land division laws that Gao Wen has been promoting, Cecil's soldiers have taken the protection of the territory and civilians as a matter of course from the very beginning.

They built their territories with their own hands, and they exchanged their labor and military exploits for their own houses and land. Their relatives and friends are all laborers in farmland, mines, and factories, whether it is their own interests, or their relatives, friends, The safety of their homeland is completely bound to whether they can perform their duties, which is completely different from other noble private soldiers.

The patrol captain walked at the front of the team, paying close attention to the movement on both sides of the mountain road. The mountain wind in the cold winter season kept blowing, but the cold did not affect his actions—the armor produced from the military factory had perfect Protection magic, wind shield and heat shield runes can help him resist the cold wind in the mountains, while the lesser sanity spell solidified in the helmet can keep him sharp and focused during long continuous patrols.

As a veteran who survived the old Cecil Territory, he felt 12 satisfaction and peace of mind with his current equipment.

"Stay alert, prepare your force field shield," the captain turned to remind the soldiers behind him, "Be careful not to be attacked by monsters!"

Patrols in the dark mountains must be careful at all times. After the force field shields were issued, the soldiers took "keep the force field shields on standby" as a basic rule. This is because there are always some monsters in the mountains who are not afraid of people and even have simple wisdom. They will jump out and attack people, and if they don’t react in time, they will be in danger—a few days ago, some unlucky people were attacked by poisonous monsters because they forgot to open their shields. If it weren’t for Cecil’s potion, it would be worthless. If the soldiers carried several bottles of alchemy potions with them, that unlucky guy would have died long ago.

The soldiers under him are all good soldiers, but the veteran captain still can't help reminding them.

And at the same time as the soldiers responded, a trace of vigilance suddenly flashed in the patrol captain's heart.

There's... danger around here.

Chapter 0253 Encounter

There's an incongruity nearby - a red flag.

The patrol leader himself is not a transcendent, and he cannot perceive the surrounding environment with magic power. However, an experienced veteran's battlefield perception is not much worse than that of ordinary low-level transcendents——a result of many times of life and death. The intuition of crisis can make him keenly aware of the dangerous atmosphere in the environment, and the effect of the secondary sanity spell in the standard helmet can make his mind extra concentrated, so sensitive that it is close to the level of a low-level transcendent.

Hostile individuals are lurking nearby, the number is unknown, but they don't seem to be magical beasts in the mountains.

They have already noticed the existence of the patrol team, but they haven't taken action yet, probably because they haven't found a good angle to attack or haven't confirmed their details.

The patrol captain did not speak rashly, but calmly made a few signals behind his back with gestures—this simple tactical sign language is a must-have skill for Cecil combat soldiers, and it is said that its original inspiration came from the first issue A young man among the refugees, everyone on the patrol can master it.

Seeing the captain's hand gesture, the soldiers immediately changed the marching queue calmly, took precautions in the direction prompted by the captain, and then quickly rushed to the nearest bunker and opened the safety of the heat ray gun. The moment these actions were made, there was a slight sound of piercing through the air!

The patrol captain was startled. The attacker's reaction speed exceeded his expectations. His soldiers were natural enough when changing formations, and the information passed between him and the soldiers was also covert enough, but the other party still realized his exposure immediately. And decisively launched an attack - this is not an ordinary bandit bandit, not even an ordinary professional mercenary!

Fortunately, he had already been vigilant in advance. The moment the sound of piercing the air sounded, the veteran had subconsciously raised his left arm, and a translucent energy shield instantly formed and blocked most of his body, while a few crossbow bolts It clanged against the shield, and fell to the ground after being slid away by the force field shield.

In such an instant, the patrol captain reached out and took out a crystallized grenade from his waist, and swung his arms to throw it towards the attacker's hiding place, and the soldiers behind him did the same thing—— A ticking iron bump pierced the air and flew into the distance with a parabola. The whole process flowed smoothly, just like a conditioned reflex.

Just as the lord explained during the training - if you really can't be sure of the enemy's situation, at least one round of grenade throwing is definitely right. It can disrupt the scene even if you can't kill people, and then you can create opportunities no matter whether you attack or retreat.

Everything happened in just a few seconds. Compared with the Cecil combat soldier who completed a series of responses almost by conditioned reflex, the Typhon team lurking on the side of the mountain road fell into a state of confusion from the very beginning.

It's not that they are not elite, but that they have never seen them.

Everything was different from what they expected--different from any fighting style they had heard or seen!

This team is one of the infiltration troops that entered the Dark Mountain at the same time as Solderin's team. They chose a route closer to the north side of the mountain. There were two low-level knights and a low-level mage in the team. They The existence of the patrol team was discovered very early, but the special mountain terrain made the encounter inevitable, so they decided to use the dead angle of their vision to ambush and annihilate the team that looked strangely equipped—in these Typhon The soldiers expected at the beginning that this was not a problem at all, and they had the advantage of ambush. They could use the first round of crossbow bolts to kill the captain of the patrol team and two to three patrol soldiers, and then the mage took advantage of the chaos to bombard them with fireballs or arcane missiles. The patrol team fell into chaos, and finally the knights led the soldiers to harvest it, which is a sure thing.

As a result, before launching an attack, the Ansu patrol team reacted—they quickly changed their formation and looked for a favorable position as they had rehearsed in advance, and it was completely impossible to see how they completed the communication!

Typhon soldiers had to launch an attack hastily, but after the first round of crossbow arrows were fired, they were all blocked by the magic shield.

Blocked by magic magic shield!

That patrol captain, who was wearing infantry armor and looked like a warrior, turned out to be a mage who could instantly cast a force field shield?

At the moment when the Typhon soldiers were stunned, they saw the enemy launch a counterattack, and several strange metal bumps were thrown towards their hiding place.

Although I don't know what that metal lump is, but the conditioned reflex developed over the years of training and actual combat has had an effect. The magician in the team propped up the mana shield at the very moment, and then, it exploded like thunder It exploded outside the mana shield.

After all, human arms are limited, and the crystallized grenade thrown did not reach the most effective killing position. Most of the explosions occurred far away, and only two crystallized grenades hit the mana shields of those imperial soldiers. With a powerful magic explosion, the mana shield was torn apart, and the cover rock also collapsed, but also because of the shield's blocking, the power of the explosion was greatly weakened, and the soldiers hiding inside the shield were unharmed.

In the cloud of smoke and dust, one of the Typhon knights leading the team drew out his long sword. He was wrapped in the brilliance of magic power, and rushed out of the meaningless hiding place first, rushing towards those who would throw "explosive magic items" Ansu soldiers.

"Charge with me!"

Following the order of the knight, the remaining Typhon soldiers also rushed out of the bunker, preparing to resolve the battle with hand-to-hand combat on the narrow mountain path.

This development is completely different from what was planned, but these experienced Typhon elites are still full of confidence. They are confident that no soldier from any country can defeat them in hand-to-hand combat-the captain of the patrol team may really be a good dresser. There are some unique mages, but he can't bring every soldier who is a superhuman, can he?

The enemy rushed out from his hiding place, and the patrol captain felt at ease when he saw this, and shouted: "The knight in front of the fire!"

Continuous scorching rays pierced through the large clouds of smoke and dust raised by the explosion of the crystal grenade, and the imperial knight who was charging ahead was immediately hit continuously. The aura on his body flickered violently, and quickly dissipated after resisting for a while .

Only then did the knight realize how stupid it was to rush out—but there was no place to hide on the narrow mountain path, and with the slight sound of the steel armor being pierced, he fell on the way to the charge.

And the soldiers behind him didn't realize what happened until the knight fell down. They watched in a daze as their powerful commander fell to the ground just halfway through the charge, while their own bodies were still moving forward inertially. Running, the light armor on ordinary soldiers was even more unable to resist the power of the scorching rays-they fell down one after another.

Although the situation was one-sided, the patrol captain still looked at the direction the enemies were running out of without hesitation—he still remembered that he saw the flickering light of the mana shield just now, and based on experience, he knew that the opponent's mage must still be hiding behind, and The magic attack will be brewed while the soldiers in front are covering. Although the enemy's mage may be surprised when the soldiers who charge in front are wiped out in a wave, the opponent's magic attack will definitely come.

At this moment, a flash of fire suddenly appeared in the floating smoke, and a fireball cut through the air and flew over.

Much smaller than the fireballs made by Miss Rebecca, Miss Rebecca not only managed to make a fireball the size of a washbasin recently, she even took the challenge of rubbing two fireballs together and kneading them into the shape of a barbell—these came from other places The fire mage is really not worth mentioning.
