Dragon Contract God

"This is Xinglang Mountain?" Hoffman looked at the stone mountain in front of him. The top of the mountain was blocked by the mask of the magic circle, so he couldn't see the scene clearly, but anyone with a little vision could see that. The power of the magic circle is not simple.

At this time, he led more than 6000 people in five legions.As the saying goes, "If there are more than ten thousand people and horses, there will be no bounds and shores."What's more, there are ten monitor lizards with a body length of more than 15 meters in the team, and a hundred magic cannons the size of a carriage, which makes it even more majestic and terrifying.

When the team approached two miles down the mountain, dozens of beams of light suddenly shot out from the magic circle on the top of the mountain, which was very powerful.

Seeing that they were about to hit the middle of the team, the ten special-eyed monitor lizards suddenly released yellow light waves, rippling like vibrating water ripples, and caught all the beams of light.

The special-eyed monitor lizard is an 8th-level earth-type monster. Its grayish-yellow eyes are protruding and hemispherical. They can rotate 180 degrees in different directions at the same time. Their defense ability is very strong, and they are used as meat shields on the battlefield. but.

Hoffman had been on guard against the attack on the mountain for a long time, so he was able to defend in such a timely manner-even if he looked down on the kingdom of Nia, a country with a shallow foundation, he would not forget that the other party had a ninth-level enchanter. How could the magic circle be so simple?

"It turned out to be a 9th-level attack magic array, pass the order down, the artillery array!"

After some defense, Hoffman stopped the team and ordered the carriage-sized magic cannons to line up.

The Hundred Magic Cannon is a long-range attack magic weapon produced by Tibarabit. It got the name "Bull-nosed Cannon" because of the two side-by-side barrels.The power of its single attack has reached level 7. If a hundred cannons are fired together, the power is even more terrifying. Even a defensive level 9 magic circle cannot withstand several waves of such attacks!

The bull-nosed cannon is made of all metal, and it weighs at least two or three tons. However, because the anti-gravity magic circle is enchanted on the base, most of the weight is offset, so it is extraordinarily easy and dexterous in action.

After the order of Hoffman's array was issued, the entire army formation suddenly changed. In almost a few seconds, an artillery formation appeared.From this point, it can be seen that Hoffman's leadership level is still very good.

After the formation of the battle formation, hundreds of cannons fired in unison, thunder shook the sky, and flames flew out of the gun barrels, shooting towards the magic circle on the top of the mountain like meteors.

A beam of light flew out of the magic circle to sweep away, knocking down part of the flames, but the soldiers manipulating the artillery shot very well and covered a wide area. Obviously, the beam of light could not completely withstand all attacks, so after a round of shelling, more than half of the flames hit The shield of the magic circle exploded into clusters of crimson fireworks, and the entire magic circle trembled.

At this moment, a huge cyan wind scythe nearly 20 meters long suddenly flew out of the magic formation, and together with many beams of light, slashed fiercely towards the army formation at the foot of the mountain.

The special-eyed monitor lizard was able to resist the beam of light attack, but the wind scythe attack was not only powerful at level 9, but also far superior to ordinary level 9 magic.So with a slash, it immediately broke through the defense of a special-eyed monitor lizard. After passing across its back, it hit the two bull-nosed cannons behind it.

The special-eyed monitor lizard fell to the ground with a scream. There was a several-meter-long wound on its back with deep bone visible. Blood poured down like a cascade, obviously losing its strength.

The two bull-nosed cannons on the back of the monitor lizard were not only smashed immediately after being hit, but also the wind scythe exploded after colliding with the cannons, and the power spread to a radius of more than 50 meters. Nearly a hundred people were injured to varying degrees.

Hoffman's expression turned ugly. Before Barabbi's army took down Mud Pond Fort and Green Peak City, the number of casualties was only single digits. He just started the battle here, but the number of casualties has already exceeded!

The haughty Hoffman didn't care that Mud Pond Castle didn't resist, and Green Peak City's resistance was also not firm. He just felt that he was beaten in the face, so he ordered the artillery to attack in turn without stopping for a moment. Break through the magic circle on the top of the mountain in the shortest time.

Of course, Hoffman wasn't completely acting on his own will. He also knew very well that the importance of Star Wolf Mountain was incomparable to the previous two places.So in order to avoid accidents, it is natural to make a quick decision.

The bull-nosed cannon fired three waves in a row, during which the cyan wind scythe appeared twice. Although it was still very powerful, because Hoffman was on guard, the remaining 9 special-purpose monitor lizards defended and let the magic The division used defensive scrolls, so the two blue wind sickles did not cause too much damage.It's just the high-level scroll that was consumed for this, which made Hoffman feel a little distressed.

Fortunately, after three rounds of artillery attacks, the magic circle was finally shattered, revealing the scene inside. There were hundreds of stone houses on the top of Xinglang Mountain, and in the center of the stone houses stood a magic tower more than 30 meters high.Although its height is much shorter than ordinary magic towers, judging from the power of the wind scythe released, this is definitely a 9th-level magic tower!

"Kolben, quickly kill the manipulator on the magic tower!" The moment the magic tower appeared, Hoffman was delighted to see Lie Xin, and gave an order to a magic archer in gray-white soft armor behind him.

This magic bow named Kolben is holding a hard bow with a silver metal bow, and several red gemstones are adorned on the bow.The moment he heard the words, he bent his bow and set up a faint blue iron arrow. When the bowstring was vibrated, the iron arrow disappeared from the spot, and appeared on the top of the mountain the next moment.

The remaining protection of the magic circle was like nothing in front of the arrow, it penetrated it instantly, and then got into the window at the top of the magic tower at the top of the mountain.

The magic tower is located on the top of the mountain, more than 2000 meters away in a straight line from Kolben, and the window is only one foot square, but Kolben shot the arrow in very accurately, which shows the high level of archery!

What's even more strange is that the people inside can't be seen from that window at all, but after Colburn's arrow shot in, the attacking light on the magic tower suddenly went out.

Hoffman smiled. When directing the artillery bombardment, he must keep the magic tower from being destroyed. Such a powerful magic tower must not be cheap. If it can be captured, it can be worth it. The casualties lost just now.

From afar on Xinglang Mountain, there were many soldiers who were evading in a hurry, and under the bombardment of the artillery, they fell down among the rocks one after another.Some of those who hid in the stone houses and continued to attack were quickly blown down to the stone houses.It took only ten minutes of effort, and there was no force capable of forming an effective attack on the top of the mountain.

So Hoffman ordered a vanguard team of a thousand people to climb to the top, clean up the remaining enemy forces as quickly as possible, and snatch the magic tower.

What Hoffman didn't know was that at this time, in a hollowed-out secret room in the belly of Xinglang Mountain, soldiers who were stationed on Xinglang Mountain slipped down the smooth passage one by one, and then under the command of the officer Step down, and quickly leave from another passage—the soldiers who were originally stationed on the top of Star Wolf Mountain have actually arrived here, and none of them died!

The corpses that Hoffman saw were actually transformed from Gruffalo meat by Transfiguration. The bloody appearance after being blasted is quite deceiving, and those stone houses that were bombed down actually contained two corpses. The bottom floor is very short, so it is not easy to be blown down. The artillery only knocked down the outer floor. It seems that the stone house has been completely broken, and the people inside have been crushed to death, but in fact, the people hiding in the lower floor are completely fine. !

At this moment, Moller and Rex were in a hidden cave twenty miles away from Star Wolf Mountain, observing the situation on the battlefield through a lord's magic mirror.When he saw Hoffman sending troops up the mountain, as if to seize the magic tower, Moller couldn't help laughing: "I didn't expect the result to be better than expected!"

"They're going to be in bad luck!" Rex also smiled, and couldn't wait for a big fight.

The one thousand vanguard troops sent by Hoffman were all elite fighters, the weakest ones had the combat power equivalent to low-level magic warriors, and it took less than a minute to climb the Star Wolf Mountain, which was only 700 meters high. time.

However, at the moment they climbed to the top, the magic tower standing on the top of the mountain suddenly burst into flames.

"Damn it!" At first, Hoffman thought it was the remaining defenders who destroyed the magic tower, so he was just disappointed, but then his face changed drastically and he realized that something was wrong.

I saw that the magic tower burned up in a blink of an eye, like a huge bonfire, but then it expanded into a large oval ball, which seemed to dissolve, and then exploded.

The exploding magic tower did not fly into the sky, but rushed to the lower surroundings like a burst of magma.The stone houses surrounding it were covered by these "magma", and then exploded.With the continuous explosion, these "magmas" turned into black smoke filled with high-temperature flames, hot lime, and burning stones. The smoke was too heavy, so it didn't fly into the sky at all, but it was like a mountain torrent. Slope down from the top of the mountain.

The thousand vanguards who were the first to bear the brunt had no time to resist and were swallowed up by the thick smoke. Some soldiers hurriedly ran from the top of the mountain to the bottom of the mountain relying on their strength.But the speed of the thick smoke pouring out was faster than that of galloping horses, and because of the explosion, the burning rubble was continuously ejected. Only a few people could really escape down the mountain alive.

However, these few people still failed to survive, because the mass of the smoke itself was extremely heavy. Thinking that the magic tower weighed thousands of tons, plus the hundreds of stone houses that exploded afterwards, each of them weighed nearly a hundred tons. Tons, so the whole cloud of smoke weighed tens of thousands of tons, and the weight of these tens of thousands of tons fell from a height of 700 meters, and its impact force was already equivalent to the power of a 10th-level magic!

The few people who fled down the mountain were killed by the powerful shock wave the moment the whole cloud of smoke hit the mountain.Then the whole cloud of thick smoke exploded, forming a layer of thick black air waves 30 meters high, rolling and spreading in all directions like a tsunami, several times faster than when it poured down before!

"It's a volcanic lava debris flow!"

Rex, who saw this scene through the lord's magic mirror, was also surprised. As a top-level monster living on the volcano, the red dragon can be said to know volcanoes better than any other creature.This volcanic lava rubble flow is a disaster caused by the coincidence of the density of volcanic ash and rocks in rare cases when a volcano erupts. Its power is so powerful that even the dragons dare not be involved when they see it, and they have to fly to avoid it. of.Unexpectedly, brother Mole made it artificially.

Mole smiled triumphantly. The magic tower was not real at all. The previous wind scythe attacks were only triggered by the 9th-order scroll. In fact, it was a huge explosive device.When Moller designed it before, he didn't expect that Hoffman would be happy to see Liexin, and would keep the magic tower from attacking, but instead sent people to snatch it, making the result much better than imagined.

He said to Rex: "Detonation is also a science. If you use it well, you can naturally produce the desired effect. But after all, it is much smaller than the real volcanic lava debris flow, otherwise you may be able to wipe out all of them." There's an enemy army."

Chapter 277 Barrymore immediately ordered the two magic airships to lower their altitude and activate lightning protection

It took less than a minute for the magic tower to burn to form a volcanic lava and rubble flow that rushed to all directions. Such a short time was not enough for Hoffman to command an army of more than 1 people to evacuate. So they could only try their best to defend, and then watched helplessly as the entire army was swallowed by the scorching lava debris flow!

The tens of thousands of tons of lava debris flow is a severe test for the defense of the army. Some relatively weak defenses are broken the moment they are swallowed. Roasted into coke, and smashed to pieces by the splashing gravel, there is no bones left!

What's more serious is that sometimes even if the defense is not broken, but there is a slight negligence, the oxygen in the defense will be quickly evacuated, and even people who can withstand the high temperature and the impact of gravel will be suffocated. die.

Although the interior of the lava debris flow was dark, Hoffman was able to vaguely see the surrounding scene through some magical means. The tragic death of a large number of soldiers made his heart bleed, and he was flustered for a while, so he quickly ordered the magician to use wind magic Blow away the smoke.

The magicians in the army were all at the core of the defense, but there were no casualties. Upon hearing Hoffman's order, the wind magicians immediately cast magic, and the magicians of other factions also activated their own wind scrolls—— Scrolls are commonly used in this type of battle, and all magicians who participate in the battle will distribute them.

However, when the wind magic stirred up, blocking the hot lime smoke and gravel, the calm Hoffman realized that he had made a serious mistake.

The flow of lava and gravel was very heavy. If he kept calm and waited, the lime and gravel would be deposited in less than a minute. When he planned to escape, he would be able to save most of his troops.But when he ordered to disperse the thick smoke, the movement of the wind magic was equivalent to marking his position in the thick smoke for the enemies ambushing outside. Isn't this calling for others to come over?

However, the stop was over at this time, and Mole, who was commanding from a distance, would not let go of the stupid mistakes of the enemy. After the appearance of wind magic, the sound of countless magic cannons firing sounded.

In the past, it was Hoffman who commanded hundreds of bull-nosed cannons to bomb Xinglang Mountain, but now the feng shui took turns, and Hoffman's army trapped in the lava debris flow could only be beaten passively, hit by countless magic shells, violent explosions and turbulent waves. The flames tore through the already battered defenses, and a large number of soldiers died in the explosion before they could react in time.

It was as if he had fallen into purgatory. After waiting tens of seconds in the torment, the flow of lava and rocks around him finally settled down. Although the black smoke had not completely dissipated, he could barely see the road clearly. Hoffman Immediately lead the remnants to flee.

The flow of lava and rubble spread over a range of more than 3000 meters below Xinglang Mountain. If Hoffman's army wanted to escape, they only needed to cover a distance of more than 1000 meters. However, within this distance of more than 1000 meters, many soldiers There were less than 3000 people who suffocated from the air, or fell into a coma after inhaling too much black smoke while running, and finally managed to escape with Hoffman!

The nine special-eyed monitor lizards were all dead because their targets were too large, and most of the hundred bull-nosed cannons were lost.

Bringing a whole army of five corps and more than 6000 people, Hoffman, who was full of ambition and ready to show his strength, looked at the remaining soldiers behind him, as if he had been stabbed countless times in the heart. Wuyan went to see his teacher, Marshal Barrymore. If it wasn't for the anger and unwillingness to support him, he would almost commit suicide with a knife!

After Hoffman escaped two or three miles away with the remnant soldiers, the follow-up attack of the Kingdom of Nia arrived, and it was still bombarded by magic cannons. The grief-stricken Hoffman relied on the strength of the eighth-level magic warrior to swing several shells in the air. Severed in the air dozens of meters away.

However, the smashed bomb still exploded, but what exploded was not flames, but countless shards of ice. Many soldiers were injured by shards of ice, and some unlucky ones were even shot to death, but in the end What's important is that the surrounding temperature dropped by more than ten degrees quickly, and there was still a smell of potion in the air.

Hoffman was taken aback, and quickly ordered all the soldiers to cover their mouths and noses with their sleeves, and at the same time asked the magician to intercept the approaching shells.Then the whole team accelerated to evacuate.

The fiasco of the Star Wolf Mountain battle shocked the entire Tibarabi army, and nearly one-third of the troops were almost wiped out!No one could accept such a loss. The generals and soldiers did not believe that the fragile Nia Kingdom would suddenly become a man-eating monster, so they looked at Hoffman with disdain—what? A military genius who has never fought a war before, but once on the battlefield, he reveals his essence of waste. More than 1 soldiers were killed by him!

Even Marshal Barrymore, who is Hoffman's teacher, has been questioned. There are rumors that Hoffman is actually his illegitimate son, which is why he was so reused-directly let a person with no military experience lead the five It is against common sense to fight with a corps.

These whiners have selectively forgotten that when Hoffman showed extremely high military talent before, and even His Majesty the King praised him, they also said a lot of compliments, and before Barry When Marshal Moore sent Hoffman to send troops, they all took it for granted!

Looking at the ashen-faced Hoffman kneeling in front of him, Marshal Barrymore didn't say a word to his disciple, but asked about the battle in detail.

Hoffman didn't hide anything, and explained the whole battle process, including his own wrong decision, in detail.

After listening to Barrymore, he was silent for a moment and said: "Go down, the three thousand soldiers you brought back must be quarantined—including yourself, and let the potionist conduct a strict inspection to ensure that the terrible plague will not be brought back."

Hoffman clenched his fists and wanted to say something, but in the end he found that he had nothing to say, so he took the order and left in embarrassment.

After Hoffman left, Barrymore said solemnly to the other generals with different expressions: "It seems that we have encountered a very difficult opponent! Pass down the order to keep 4000 people from the Blue Fire Corps to garrison Green Peak City, All other armies set off and march towards Xinglang Mountain!"

With an order from the Marshal, Tibarabi's ten corps, nearly [-] troops, led by two magic airships in the sky, marched towards Xinglang Mountain.

Before the arrival of the army, an aerial reconnaissance unit on a magic airship first checked the situation, and the magic image reported later showed that a steel tower more than 50 meters high rose again on the top of Star Wolf Mountain, which had obviously experienced an explosion just now. Fortress, the translucent cyan shield makes it impossible to see through.

"Prepare for the long-range attack of the magic crystal cannon!" Marshal Barrymore immediately decided that the magic crystal cannon loaded on the magic airship can attack long-range targets dozens of miles away. He wants to use this to detect the reality of the opponent first.

The two magic airships fired three beams of light respectively. The front of the beams of light were magic cannonballs wrapped in strong light. The cost of each of these magic cannonballs exceeded 9 gold coins. The power of the explosion was naturally terrifying. As long as more than two consecutive If it hits, it can easily break through the defense of the ordinary ninth-level guardian magic circle.

The six magic cannonballs flew at high speed, and after more than a minute, they covered a distance of dozens of miles and hit the steel fortress of Xinglang Mountain.

Through the magic image, Barrymore saw that the inside of the steel fortress also shot out six rays of light quickly, accurately intercepting the long-range attack in the air, and the magic shell exploded in the air without hurting the steel fortress at all.

Barrymore was not surprised by this. Long-range attacks are the easiest to intercept, as long as the opponent has the same level of attack ability, his attack is just a test of his strength.

"The cavalry and the monster army are in the vanguard, the artillery is in the center, the infantry is behind, and the magic airship is leading the formation!"

What Barrymore is best at is the seasoned and prudent style of play. Since the opponent is not weak and resourceful, he will not give up his advantage of strength to play tricks, just crush the past steadily and steadily!

"Marshal!" At this moment, a middle-aged magician suddenly walked over and reported: "There is an abnormal large-scale magic wave in the sky!"

"What! Can the type be predicted?"

"...It should be weather magic, I'm afraid a storm is coming!"

Marshal Barrymore, who got this answer, frowned. The weather magic that can trigger bad weather, in addition to the ability of master-level magicians to cast it, below the master-level, at least three or more 9th-level magicians need to work together, and cooperate with the corresponding Only a large magic circle can be activated.

Of course, Barrymore did not believe that there would be a master magician in the Kingdom of Nia. This should be the magic circle prepared in advance, or the role of a large number of scrolls.

If it was just speculation before, then now Barrymore can be sure that the Kingdom of Nia has been planning this war for a long time!

"Could it be that the Popoli Kingdom is behind the scenes? Or is it the Rosen family of Ristan?" He didn't think that the Nia Kingdom itself would have such great ability and courage. Marshal Barrymore couldn't help but think of two other big countries that might make a move.

However, at this time, it is over to think about anything else, and the weather magic has taken shape. It was just cloudy weather, but suddenly the weather changed, and dark clouds quickly gathered in the sky. Lightning burst out from the clouds, and the rumbling thunder alarmed the entire army.

Barrymore immediately ordered the two magic airships to lower their altitude, turn on the lightning protection defense, and enter the highest alert state at the same time - the other party spent a huge price to cast weather magic, nothing more than to deal with their air power, mainly because of these two powerful magic ships airship.

However, after the magic airship lowered its altitude, suddenly there were more than a dozen places on the ground, and people emerged from the ground one after another.When these people appeared, they released a giant crossbow twice the size of the bull-nosed cannon from the magic bag.

"Huh?" Barrymore calmly ordered two magic airships to bomb the ground target, but he was also a little surprised, because he was able to retract such a large crossbow from the magic bag in an instant, which showed that the dozen or so people were all advanced. However, he did not expect that there would be so many high-level powerhouses in the Kingdom of Niah, who could be used to carry out dangerous plans against magic airships.

However, the first wave of attacks against the two magic airships was not these giant crossbows that appeared suddenly. From somewhere that the army didn't notice, hundreds of arrows suddenly shot out, hitting the magic airships in the air as fast as lightning.

Compared with the huge magic airship, these arrows are too small, as ridiculous as stabbing a giant dragon with a toothpick, even if there are hundreds of attacks, it seems insignificant.

However, the result was unexpected. These arrows ignored the powerful defense of the magic airship, and easily plunged into the magic airship like fish diving into the water.
