Love Magic City

The clouds were low all day long, but the rain never fell.

The air was humid and hot at night, Eric was standing on the balcony wearing thin pajama pants, the hot and humid wind blowing on his sweaty body made him feel a little cool.

"This damn weather...it's hot and there are so many undead..."

He cursed under his breath.He didn't hate summer so much before. Under the dazzling sunlight, the power of undead creatures would weaken a lot. In the past, summer was when the activities of undead creatures were the least, but this summer, undead creatures still

However, the excitement made Benzena's army tired of coping.

This mutation made everyone hear the approaching footsteps of the Scourge of the Undead, and the sweltering weather made people even more irritable.

Eric drank the red wine in the glass in one gulp. The ice cubes had already melted, and the wine was weak and warm, even worse than plain water.

He frowned, and couldn't help cursing again: "Damn the weather!"

"You've become different."

A touch of red appeared in the corner of his eyes, and Eric looked at those ice-green eyes, as if he took a sip of cold water, feeling much refreshed in the sweltering summer night.

Eric sneered.He forgot that Lorraine slept next door to him--the nicest room besides the general's.

He laughed twice and asked, "Why is it different?"

"You wouldn't be so... irritable before." Lorraine found a suitable word after deliberation.

Eric spread his hands, "Facing those dead bones every day, even the best temper will become violent."

"yes……"

The other party obviously wasn't really asking, and Eric didn't intend to answer.

Lorraine looked at the sky. He was still wearing the fiery red robe and holding the staff in his hand. Although he looked too young, he gave the impression that he was just like the old magicians in the mage tower, wise and deep .

There is a special calmness in the magician, which is a temperament that other people cannot learn.

Eric admired such a beautiful silence, but the silence now made the night more sultry. He wanted to break it, but he didn't know where to start.

He raised the glass to his lips only to find that the glass was empty, he shook the empty glass, and wanted to go back to his room to pour another glass of wine for himself, but suddenly thought of something, stopped and shouted to the balcony next door: "Lorraine, do you want a drink? "

Lorraine looked sideways, and there seemed to be something more in the green eyes under the moonlight. Eric didn't understand, but heard the other party say: "Are you going to get me drunk?"

He was taken aback for a moment, smiled, and said nothing more.

Maybe Little Jade will never believe in herself again?

This thought made Eric a little frustrated. He poured himself a glass of red wine and was about to ask someone to get ice when there was a knock on his door.

Unable to think who would come to him at this time, he opened the door in confusion, only to find Lorraine standing outside.

Eric froze on the spot, and it took him a long time to realize, "Are you... all right?"

Lorraine glanced at him and said lightly, "Didn't you buy me a drink?"

"Huh? Ah! Yes, yes, come in."

Lorraine went in without a word of nonsense.

Eric didn't expect that the other party was still mocking him a moment ago, but now he was sitting in his room drinking. He was puzzled but couldn't ask, so he could only bring a new cup and pour Lorraine seven The portion is full, and the ice cubes are gone. I was about to ask someone to go to the cellar to get them, but Lorraine stopped me.

"Stop calling me."

"Huh? But..."

As soon as Eric opened his mouth, he saw Lorraine's hand brushing over the cup, an icy blue light flashed, and a layer of frost condensed on the wall of the cup instantly.

"Ah... I forgot, you are a magister..." Eric sat back in his seat awkwardly.A zero-level magic like cooling can be easily cast by any magister.

The chilled red wine is refreshing and refreshing. After drinking it, the heat of summer will be swept away immediately.

"Magic is so easy to use." Eric sighed.Although he is a dual-cultivator of magic and martial arts, he mainly focuses on fighting qi, and secondly, he only cultivates magic to the intermediate level, and he is still a defensive earth system, and he cannot use magic of other systems at all.

Lorraine didn't say anything, just took a shallow sip of the wine.

The two drank wine quietly, and the silvery white moonlight fell on the ground, reflecting Lorraine's fair and flawless face.Eric looked up inadvertently, and couldn't turn his eyes away, admiring the long-lost beautiful scene.And Lorraine just lowered his head, as if he didn't notice.

After thinking for a long time, Eric let out a breath and said slowly, "Lorraine... I'm sorry."

Lorraine finally raised his head, his green eyes were so bright in the darkness that it was impossible to look directly at them.

Eric didn't dare to look at him, he cast his eyes to a certain point ahead, and said to himself: "That incident five years ago... I'm sorry, I didn't mean to hurt you, I just... I thought you would know... ...I'm sorry, I don't know what to say." After drinking the wine in his glass, he seemed to want to sip away all the guilt of these years.

He has lingered in the flowers for many years, and he is always very careful when choosing a partner. He just needs someone who is pleasing to the eye to relieve his loneliness. Because of his principles, he never got into any trouble and left a good impression on everyone.

However, these principles all collapsed when they met Lorraine. He took advantage of Lorraine's drunkenness to possess him, entangled Lorraine, captured this innocent little guy with his tenderness, and finally abandoned him cruelly.

When Lorraine cried and said he hated him, his heart ached and he blamed himself. He wanted to say sorry to him, but he knew that an apology could not make up for the hurt the boy had suffered.So he ran away, to Ben Senna, and used the war to numb his guilt.

"I'm not qualified to ask you to forgive me, I just hope you don't make yourself unhappy because of my mistakes..."

"I……"

clang - clang - clang -

The distant bell interrupted Lorraine's words. Eric frowned and looked out the window. Although the undead are creatures of the night, they have rarely attacked at night for so many years. It is said that this is because the undead dimension and the main dimension are different. Day and night are reversed, midnight in the main dimension is noon in the undead dimension, and undead are unwilling to move outside at this time.

Eric came to the balcony, saw the adjutant running up, and called out to him, "Harrison, what's going on?"

Harrison looked up and yelled, "Oh General, I'm coming for you! The undead are attacking."

"quantity?"

"It's only twenty or thirty thousand, but half of them are death knights."

"It's really troublesome things." Eric cursed, "Harrison, immediately ask the army to assemble, and let the magicians go to the city wall first, and launch the first wave of attacks on the death knights!"

"Yes!"

Harrison was ordered to leave, Eric returned to the room and hurriedly grabbed his coat and long sword and was about to go out, but Lorraine grabbed him and brought the armor aside.

"Put on your armor."

Eric froze for a moment, rubbed his hair subconsciously, and said with a smile: "It's okay, I don't care about twenty or thirty thousand skeletons."

Lorraine shook his head and stopped him stubbornly, "Half skeleton soldiers and half death knights, this kind of situation has never happened before, I'm afraid there will be high-level undead among them."

"but……"

"Put it on before leaving, it's not too late." Green eyes looked straight at the man.

Eric felt a little uncomfortable being watched by him, so he had to compromise, "Okay, I'll put it on."

He took the armor and put it on, and Lorraine helped him tie the leggings.

Eric glanced at the man who was kneeling at his feet and carefully handling the leggings. When the other party lowered his head, the golden hair slipped off, revealing his slender neck. Under the dim light, even the fine hairs on the skin of the neck could be clearly seen. He couldn't help but think of the way the other party raised his chin and moaned in his arms five years ago...

Lorraine raised his head suddenly, Eric coughed dryly, and turned his eyes away.

But Lorraine just gave him a fixed look, and continued to lower his head to deal with the leggings.

When the two came to the city wall, the magician army had already completed the first wave of attack on the undead army, but without the magister Lorraine, they could only release some small-scale magic, and the effect was limited.

Lorraine looked at the situation and raised his staff to prepare for a large-scale magic, but Eric stopped him.

"Don't worry, you don't need to take action tonight."

Lorraine stopped and looked at him puzzled.

Eric issued an order to the magician, "Before the army of undead enters the range of [-] meters, you are responsible for killing the death knights. Harrison!" He turned around and called the adjutant, "Order the commanders of the armies to prepare and let the soldiers go out of the city to fight Skeleton soldiers!"

"But Lord Kamedal..." Harrison looked at Lorraine suspiciously, wondering why he didn't just let the magister kill them all.

Eric sneered and kicked him, "If you tell you to go, go! Look at what those soldiers have become. They are lazy. If you don't teach them a lesson, they won't be able to fight in the future! Go! "

"Yes!" Harrison realized, and quickly ran down the wall.

Only then did Eric explain to Lorraine. "Your presence has made all the soldiers relax. You see, their gathering speed is twice as fast as before you came. This situation is absolutely unacceptable. Once you leave, such soldiers will be swallowed up by the undead army immediately! Instead of arriving It’s better to teach them a lesson now.”

Lorraine nodded knowingly.

Eric said again: "This kind of battle is too easy for you to solve right now, but not everyone has your strength. If you block these attacks, others will lose the opportunity to exercise. So I hope When you are here, let them exercise, this is the long-term solution to protect Ben Senna."

These words were spoken to the rest of the Magic Legion.

It is quite different from the usual solo magic. War magic pays more attention to coordination. For example, water magic and thunder magic can play a greater role when used together, while water magic and fire magic may cancel each other out when they collide. .Therefore, a mature magic army pays great attention to teamwork.

After all, most of the time the Magic Legion will not have a magister sitting in charge.High-level mages are unable to cast such a large-scale magic as "Skyfire Arrives". If they are not given the opportunity to practice and adapt, they will not be able to exert their due strength in the face of a crisis.

Now that Lorraine is here, they can sit back and relax, but what about the future?

Although Eric didn't name them, magicians are smart people, and they understood it as soon as they heard it. They nodded and focused on dealing with the death knight.

Death knights are equivalent to human cavalry. They ride carrion horses or bone horses, and their charging ability is no less than that of cavalry. Human infantry will suffer a lot from them.

Although Eric wanted to alert the soldiers, he didn't want the soldiers to suffer too much loss, so he asked the magician to get rid of the death knight first.

Death knights and skeleton soldiers are two distinct camps, and magicians can easily target and kill them.

The magicians are divided into multiple groups according to different attributes, commanded by the experienced old Jack.The previous battles were blocked by Lorraine on his own, and everything seemed to be going well. Eric did not stop it based on exciting considerations, but now that Lorraine is not in battle, the problem has been exposed.

The rhythm between the newly joined magicians and the old magicians is not coordinated, the grasp of the battlefield situation is not accurate, and coordination errors often occur.And old Jack is only a high-level magician with a single attribute, and he can only follow the original mode in command, but fortunately, he is only facing some low-level undead creatures, so it is not a big problem.

In fact, the commander of the Magic Legion is also a big problem.Theoretically speaking, the commander of the magician army is best to be a magician of all departments who has a certain understanding of each department of magic, so that the cooperation of each department of magic can be brought into full play.But the magic world puts strength first, which is common in the magic army. All magicians often mean that the magic of each department is not good, and the magic knowledge is higher than their own strength. Such magicians are difficult to convince the crowd and cannot command their subordinates.

The colorful magic lasted for a quarter of an hour, and the death knight was almost eliminated before Eric ordered the city gate to be opened and the soldiers to fight.

He looked at the two armies fighting below the city with a solemn expression.

Sure enough, the soldiers relaxed, and their movements were not as neat as before.It's time to use blood and life to awaken the iron blood and tenacity hidden in their bodies.

Glancing at the magicians who were panting and resting not far away, he said to Lorraine beside him: "You have also seen the magic battle just now, that is, under normal circumstances, the fighting style of the magic legion is about coordination, and Not individual attack power. Few magisters will go to the front line to fight, so in the long run, your shoulder-to-shoulder approach is harmful to the army.”

Lorraine nodded.

Realizing that he had spoken too seriously, Eric smiled apologetically, and said: "Actually, the main task of the head of the Magic Legion is to command the magicians to cooperate with the attack, not to kill the enemy. Just like me, the coach, unless you encounter too much Otherwise, you will not leave the battlefield easily. Old Jack is a good magician, but he is not a good commander. If you can, I hope you can learn to command the legion to fight."

Lorraine nodded again, "I'll try."

Eric smiled slightly, wanting to rub the opponent's head as he did back then, but raised his hand in the air and then lowered it, he just patted Lorraine on the shoulder and said, "Come on, command these people to create the best spell-casting procedure, Unleash your maximum attack power, even if you leave half a year later, your successor can easily command them."

"ok, I……"

Before Lorraine spoke, Eric suddenly raised his hand to signal him not to speak, and looked at the darkness in the distance with a serious face.

Lorraine followed his gaze, and after a while, said softly: "Death Knight King!"

Eric drew his longsword.

Lorraine clenched his staff, "Let me deal with him."

Eric laughed, "Dear...uh, Archmage Lorraine, I just said that I want to train the people below, can I be lazy as the coach? Now you stand here and watch, a death knight king I’m not afraid. If it’s really dangerous, just save me.”

The death knight king is the ultimate form after the evolution of the death knight. Its strength is equivalent to the golden knight among humans. Eric has the strength of the golden knight. A death knight king will not pose a threat to him.But the death knight king can only be regarded as a thug with strong combat effectiveness in the undead dimension. Unlike Eric, who is the only coach in the whole city, he is in groups.What Eric was worried about was the number of death knight kings, or whether there were more powerful liches, death lords or dark lords behind them.

The unique black armor of the Death Knight King was looming under the moonlight. Eric squinted his eyes and watched the thing shrouded in black mist appear at the other end of the battlefield.

"Can you know that other than this Knight King, there are other high-level undead?" Eric asked Lorraine, pointing at the black mist.

Lorraine closed his eyes for a moment, then shook his head, "It should be gone, but there are still some knight commanders and the like..."

"Okay, I'll go down and kill this guy. You take care of it here, and if there are high-level undead that threaten our side, you can take action again. Don't let the soldiers wear down too much, but don't spoil them too much."

"I see."

Eric put on his helmet, turned around and was about to leave, but Lorraine took his hand.

"Eric..." he hesitated to speak.

Eric couldn't help but look at the hand that was holding him. "What's wrong?"

"You...be careful."

Lorraine was about to withdraw his hand, but Eric grabbed it backwards.

"you!"

"As you wish." He took his hand and kissed lightly, "I'll be right back."

Lorraine withdrew his hand blushing, Eric smiled lightly, straightened his helmet, and walked down the city wall.

Stepping on the steed, he went out of the city to face the Death Knight King. When he left the city gate, he looked up and met Lorraine's concerned eyes, smiled slightly, and silently said: Don't worry about me.

Lorraine withdrew his gaze as if electrocuted, and deliberately looked away.

Laughing secretly at his awkwardness, Eric galloped on a steed, and in a blink of an eye he was less than [-] meters away from the Death Knight King.He stopped cautiously, and the other party also stopped.

The fighting skeletons and humans seem to be unable to bear the king's coercion, and they give up an open space for the two strong men to confront each other.

"Stupid human being, how dare you block my progress, I will kill you!"

Under the black mist, a hoarse voice came, and the human soldiers around seemed to be shocked by the cold voice, their feet trembled, and a few unlucky ones were stabbed by the skeleton soldiers.

Eric sneered, raised his sword and pointed at the death knight king, "If you want to fight, fight, stop talking nonsense."

"Roar!" The Death Knight King roared coldly, drew out his black long sword and rode his horse forward.

Eric's face turned cold, he kicked the horse's belly, and controlled the horse to meet the enemy.

Silver and black clashed in mid-air, and the sharp collision sounded like death's scythe piercing the void.A golden grudge burst out from Eric's body, forcefully pushing back the death knight's black mist by half an inch.

"Go to hell! Ugly undead creature!" Eric yelled violently, his power surged, and he instantly pushed back the death knight king's attack.

Under the pressure of huge force, the death knight king's body tilted immediately. However, the death knight king is the ultimate evolution of the death knight after all. It can be said that he is a strong man on the same level as Eric. He let Eric go with a low growl. With the long sword, he adjusted his posture and sat still in an instant.

"Human! I will kill you!"

In anger, the black mist surrounding the Death Knight King exploded, and the ground under his feet instantly turned black—this is a phenomenon corroded by the breath of the undead.

Eric sneered, and turned around to meet the violent attack of the Death Knight King again.

The collision of silver and black illuminated the sultry night, the man's low growl and the roar of the undead intertwined, and the moon in the sky seemed to be afraid of such a fierce confrontation, and hid behind the dark clouds.

"go to hell!"

"You are courting death!"

Tick, tick, the rain that had been accumulated all day finally fell, and it turned into a downpour in an instant.The sound of rain drowned out the frenzy of the confrontation, and the sharp long sword drew a silver crescent in the night from time to time, and the black thunder responded to it.

People in the distance can't see the battle here clearly, they only know that there is a violent vacuum on the battlefield.

Old Jack looked worriedly, and muttered to himself, "The general will be fine, why is it taking so long..."

"No... definitely not!" Lorraine clenched his staff tightly, as if strengthening his belief.

hiss!

In the darkness, the long sword without light cut through Eric's sleeve, leaving a deep bloodstain on his arm. The blood spurted out and quickly turned into water in the rain.

Eric's face remained unchanged, as if he didn't feel any pain at all, but his eyes were bloodshot, and his hostility broke free from the shackles of his handsome appearance, making him ferocious and wild.

A death knight king would not harm him at all. He was not in a hurry to end the battle, but wanted to see if there were other high-level undead around, but he didn't expect to be injured by the opponent in a moment of carelessness.

Injury to the coach will cause a serious blow to morale, Eric decided to make a quick decision!

"Ahhhh—"

He screamed, jumped up from his horse and rushed towards the death knight king, like a ball of golden flames illuminating the night sky, his long sword accurately pierced through the gap in the death knight king's defense, and in the terrifying friction sound, the long sword cut each other's throat.

The head with the black helmet flew high, and after a brief pause, the death knight king's body crashed down along with the horse.

Eric landed firmly on the ground, victory did not let him relax, his eyes looked into the distance vigilantly.

The human soldiers around who saw this scene were all highly motivated, shouting and crushing the undead skeletons in front of them in one fell swoop.

Eric waited for a while, and he was relieved to make sure that no higher-level undead creatures appeared.As soon as the nerves relax, I feel the pain in my arm.The rain made the blood gurgle out continuously, and the skin around the wound was already a little white.

Eric didn't care much, he returned to the direction where the undead were coming, raised his sword high, and roared loudly, "Kill!"

"Kill! Kill! Kill!"

The shouts of human soldiers resounded through the night sky, and the young magister on the city wall also smiled.
