The moment the fire element struck, Wayne felt strong fluctuations in magic power.
There was no time to think otherwise, so he immediately concentrated the magic power he had scattered everywhere to form a barrier.
The arrows carrying the fire element hit the barrier, making continuous explosions and lighting up the dark night red.
However, this small amount of magic power can protect only a limited area, and it still cannot cover all areas on the platform, so the flammable items near the cliff caught fire first.
"There's an assassin!"
"alert!"
"There are enemies in both directions!"
The guards screamed hurriedly, and many students who were sleeping lightly woke up and quickly ran out of the tent to see what had happened.
"...What, what's going on?" As soon as Lawrence opened the curtain hanging at the door, he saw Wayne standing upright not far away with a serious look on his face.
"An assassin suddenly attacked from below the cliff."
In the direction he was looking at, strong winds surged, rolling up seven or eight assassins wearing black masks and tied with ropes to the platform.
He actually climbed up from the bottom of the cliff... I don't know how long these people secretly climbed the mountain for this extraordinary appearance.
"Go wake up the others!" Wayne turned around and went into Chris's tent.
With the elemental shield summoned by Wayne as a buffer, someone finally sounded the alarm in time. The bell rang loudly in the camp. The guards who had been scattered before also reacted and rushed towards the assassins first.
However, due to terrain considerations, most of the defense forces were deployed on one side of the mountain road. There were only a few scattered guards on the side of the cliff, which could not delay the attack for much time.
"Students who have come out! Follow the practice procedure of the practical class and throw the offensive magic behind the cliff!" A Qingxi Academy teacher who led the team stood up and tried to control the situation.
However, the camp was in chaos. Instead of following the teacher's instructions to face the enemy, more people subconsciously chose to stay close to people they knew well and hug each other.
"Kyle, Johnny...come here with me!" President Raphael called the names of a few people in the crowd, and then ran to the back of the cliff without hesitation to fill the loopholes in the defense circle.
Those people were the backbone of the Lily Society, and they could be said to be Raphael's right-hand men. They just followed him after being stunned for a moment.
It all happened in the blink of an eye. At this time, Chris, who was carried out by Wayne, was still confused: "What happened? Did it explode?"
It's like he didn't wake up at all.
"Someone is here to take your life." Wayne said seriously.
"You're a bitch!"
As she said that, Chris suddenly woke up: "Wait, is there really an assassin?!"
She broke away from Wayne's arms in a panic, but hugged his hand tightly.
The two of them had retreated to the center of the earth element shield. Wayne pressed down with one hand, and the shield area increased by one-half again.
As if feeling something, Wayne turned his face to one side, just in time to see Song Li walking out of the tent.
Her eyes met Wayne's, and then she glanced at Chris next to him.
Seeing that the situation was not good, Wayne immediately said: "The situation is urgent now. I hope everyone can put aside the dispute for the time being and face the enemy together..."
When Geli heard this, she opened her mouth and wanted to give him a slap in the face, but after thinking about it, she calmed down.
Eventually, she just said, "Don't think everyone is as mean as you!"
Wayne was speechless.
"Come a few people and follow me to the mountain road to help!" On the other side, Richard suddenly appeared, hurriedly trying to escape from the elemental shield.
After a slight hesitation, Ge Li suddenly responded: "I'll go too!"
Wayne:? ? ?
The scene is already chaotic enough, and running around will only make it easier for assassins to succeed.
"With all due respect, the first targets of these assassins are most likely the two princes!"
He shouted to stop. "Since they are sure to attack our team of more than forty magicians, the opponent must have a sure-kill trick! It's best not to split up the formation!"
——This is how it is played on TV.
Richard was indeed a little worried after hearing what he said.
"But...can I just stand here and watch others fight to the death?"
"of course not!"
Richard looked up in surprise.
"Remember what the teacher said just now? Use all your long-range attack methods and throw them behind the cliff." Wayne explained.
"Pay attention to the clothing of the assassins at the rear. They were swept up by the magic of the wind, and they were also tied with various ropes."
"If my guess is correct, these people must be planning to jump off the cliff and escape immediately after they succeed. There must be reinforcements at the bottom of the cliff to help them!"
Richard immediately understood what he meant.
"You are right! There are not many assassins in the rear now, but we have more than thirty members of the Light Lily Society, and we can completely suppress them with firepower!"
He slapped his palm.
"By the way, it can also destroy their response manpower and escape route."
Wayne nodded in agreement: "That's it! So, just do your best under my shield!"
As his words fell, the elemental shield above rotated counterclockwise, emitting a brighter light than usual.
Richard used his status as the prince of the kingdom, and with the help of Wayne and Gavin, he quickly gathered the other students in the camp who were like scattered sand.
Even Lawrence couldn't say "no" to Richard's arrangement.
"——I, I'm not following his orders, I'm just doing a favor for my friend."
Hmm... I have to say that Lawrence may have gotten the essence of "tired".
At least, when Richard looked at him, the look in his eyes was as if he was looking at his stupid son who failed to live up to his expectations. It was quite warm to say the least.
Within the shield, the magic of wind first cleared an open space in front of everyone, and then several types of elements took turns to fight and react to each other.
"The friendly troops in front get out of the way!"
A huge fireball rolled down beside Raphael, shocking him into a cold sweat.
"W-What is this?!"
The assassin who fought him was also stunned for a moment.
But before they could recover, the next wave of attacks followed.
"The friendly forces in front have a three-second time limit to retreat! Three, two, one, let go!"
Raphael was so anxious that he rolled several times on the spot before he could barely avoid the AOE range attack that seemed to have no distinction between the enemy and ourselves.
"boom--"
A huge water column hit the assassin's face with extremely strong impact, and directly sprayed him out more than ten meters away.
Before he even had time to scream, the man was completely engulfed by darkness and fell down the cliff without making any sound again.
