"There will be new enemies soon, we need to leave here immediately!" Lu Yuan said, and took out the fireball staff again. Several people felt nervous and stood up one after another and looked forward.
Lu Yuan told the intelligence that Nini had detected. During the four hours that the sword group was held back, a bandit team of nearly a hundred people on both the north and east sides came to search here. As long as they meet up with the escaped robbers, they will pounce immediately after getting the news. Lu Yuan took out a map and laid it on the package. This was a map drawn by Annie using modern methods.
The map shows this forest area. The main part is the Sharptooth Forest, and the east side enters the mountainous area. On the edge of the Sharptooth Forest are some small woods - Raz Forest, Goosi Forest, Pad Valley, etc. He made a cross at the junction of Raz Forest and Sharptooth Forest. "We are here, surrounded by Raz Forest, Sharptooth Forest to the north, and Pader Valley to the south! The enemy's main force is in the north. We'd better get to Pader Valley before noon, where it's better to defend. , and we have reinforcements over there.”
"Reinforcements? Who are they?" The eyes of several people who were originally feeling desperate lit up, and Chanem asked first.
"Flame Fist" Lu Yuan replied simply, which made Chanem and others feel at ease. In any case, Baldur's Gate's Flame Fist mercenaries are the strongest standing force in the region and the cornerstone of maintaining balance and stability in the entire region. As long as the Flame Fist mercenaries can take action, no matter how many robbers there are, it won't be a problem. Thinking of the red-haired Flame Fist officer, Chanem felt a little warm again. This time it was all because of his excessive insistence on investigation that led to everyone being surrounded. In the final analysis, it was not because of the encouragement from the female officer.
"Then put all the heavy objects into the space bag as much as possible, and let's go!" Chanem finally became mature. He gave the order skillfully and did not ask Jahira and Lu Yuan for their opinions. Of course, no one asked if there was still a spell to summon horses, and what was stored in the mage's spell slot. This must be a secret that cannot be told.
After everyone put heavy items such as metal armors and shields into bags, they headed quickly towards Padre Valley. Even Imoen, who had spent half the night and was very weak in physical strength, was gritting his teeth and letting Chanem half-hold him forward. Danahei, who was exhausted, simply climbed onto Minsk's back and exchanged feelings with Xiao Ming.
The northern search team led by Ramon, the assassin of the Iron Throne, and the eastern search team led by Black Talon mercenary vice-president Laiken, finally missed the best opportunity to surround the "Sword and Rose" regiment. They caught the escaping robber and got the news earlier than Lu Yuan expected. However, because the escapees deliberately exaggerated the strength of Lu Yuan and the others, and both Ramon and Laiken were humans, but they led a team with monsters as the main force, in the end the two teams, which were very slow in making decisions and actions, successfully reunited. Together, they could only chase after Lu Yuan and the others, watching the men from the sword group run into the swampy Pad Valley.
Although Padre Valley is known as a valley, it is actually just a large low-lying forest wetland. Let’s talk about the terrain of the canyon that is conducive to ambush - for example, there is a trail in the middle that can only be passed by one person, which is convenient for encirclement; there are cliffs on both sides, which are perfect for falling rocks; the dry grass in the canyon is three feet thick, which can be attacked by fire; the enemy must also be mentally retarded. Self-destruction without investigation... This really doesn't exist.
This is a large low-lying area with only sparse jungle, muddy ponds and large and small lakes. Even the swamp is not professional enough - Minsk struggled for a long time to find out that the swamp was just up to the waist and stepped on the ground. Lu Yuan and the others, who arrived an hour in advance, directly found a "dead spot" and stood there waiting for help.
This dead land is almost a small island in the center of the lake, but it is not surrounded by water, but by large swamps and mud ponds. There are only two hard surfaces at a 45-degree angle leading here, and one looks like The extension of the hills, another natural extension line, the entire small "mountain range" suddenly turned a corner here, leaving this small piece of land. The height difference between the low hills is seventy or eighty meters, and there are several large and sturdy trees on them, with their roots twisting and their crowns blocking out the sky and the sun. It is almost impossible to shoot upward from the foot of the mountain. Hiding here is not afraid of the bows and arrows at the bottom of the hillside. On the contrary, the threat of one's own bows and arrows is greatly increased.
This place is easy to defend but difficult to attack. The only big problem is - if there are no reinforcements, this is a sure place to die.
Lu Yuan patted Xiao Nini, reinforcements... there might be some.
In the evening, when the enemy arrived, the place had turned into a small maze.
In just four hours, the nine members of the "Sword and Rose" group had basically regained their combat effectiveness. Jaheira, Danahei and Evening Star took a nap and urgently replenished their magical and arcane skills. Except for Lu Yuan who had to go to the back, everyone else entered the "position" and hid themselves well. So much so that the bandit group that followed them didn't even find their location in the complex wetland environment in the first place.
[Stone Shaping Technique: A four-ring spell. Sculpt any stone you touch into any shape, up to 10 cubic feet + 1 cubic foot/casting level]
After the battle and precipitation in the previous period, Lu Yuan finally broke through to a seventh-level mage and mastered some fourth-ring spells, one of which was stone shaping.
According to his current strength, this spell can give him the ability to transform 20 cubic feet of stone at a time. And with the support of his deputy brain, his transformation can be extremely sophisticated. Maybe this kind of capacity doesn't seem like much. After all, it's only 20 cubic feet, which converts to 0.57 cubic meters. What is enough for it? A stone sixty centimeters square can be lifted by two people, and even a child can climb over it...
But if a 60-centimeter square stone is processed into a stone foam structure according to the metal foam process, and is firmly combined with the stone underfoot, it will immediately become a light and strong 2 meters high and 5 meters long. "City Wall", this kind of city wall can absorb all kinds of huge impacts. A strong man like Xiao Ming can smash a "bubble" with one hammer. Afterwards, the impact force of the hammer is absorbed by the broken bubble, and the vibration is dispersed throughout the city wall, causing minimal damage.
Such a section of city wall is enough for two ogres to break down for a whole day.
Six sections of this wall were twisted and connected, blocking both roads leading to the island. In the mud near the island in the swamp, before and after the city wall and in unnoticed places, the large stones that should have been ordinary are now covered with three-inch-long "stone thorns" that are sparsely spaced and neatly arranged. A piece of big nail board with a cold light that makes people tremble just looking at it.
A seventh-level mage can only have two fourth-level spell slots at most, but Lu Yuan relied on his abundant mental power to recover and cast eleven spells intermittently! This has completely crushed the sum of other spellcasters on the same team. Therefore, when he squatted on a tree branch with a fireball staff and said that he could fight for another five hundred years, he received a collective glare.
"Found them!" a human voice shouted. The aborigines were basically used to being human beings mixed with monsters. The world was divided according to camps rather than races. But Lu Yuan was so angry that his teeth itched, especially when he saw the one who led the monster army. When there were two humans, they were even more angry.
"Fuck! Traitor!" He cursed through gritted teeth. If there was a high-level spell scroll in his hand, he promised to throw it away immediately! It's a pity that he doesn't have it, so he can only live with it.
"You... want him to die?" Evening Star, who was in the tree with him, pointed at Black Claw mercenary vice-guild leader Laiken and asked. She just heard Lu Yuan cursing at that person, looking very angry. This kind of expression was really rare on Lu Yuan.
"Can you shoot?" Lu Yuan asked in surprise, but when he saw Mu Xing shaking his head, he couldn't help but feel a little disappointed. It's only about forty meters away from that guy, but it's firmly blocked by a few rocks.
Laiken is a cunning guy. He will not be as mindless in command as the jackal Brittik, who only knows how to charge in a swarm. He walked closer to the island and hid on top of the stone to observe the surrounding terrain. Although there are many obstacles on the main path, unfortunately the time left for the opponent is too short, and there are still many loopholes in the entire defense. He gathered the human mercenaries together to give command, and asked the monsters who did not understand the complicated instructions to attack head-on to contain the sword group, while the others went to chop down the trees. He planned to pave a road through the swamp and capture the island in one fell swoop.
Seeing their plan unfolding in an orderly manner, the monsters also gathered in front of the stone wall and prepared to attack, but the sword group could only wait. The previous preparations have been done to the best of my ability.
"I can't shoot, but I can try other methods." Duixing said, with eagerness in his eyes.
"Muxing, don't..." Lu Yuan said anxiously, reaching out to pull, but unfortunately Muxing had already avoided his hand with a smile and jumped off the tree. Lu Yuan could only lean forward and raise the fireball staff. Now he still has eleven fireballs. As long as Duixing is in the slightest danger, he promises to fire them all in one go! He suddenly realized something when he saw Mu Xing quickly take off his backpack, secondary weapons, etc. to lighten up his gear.
He rummaged around on his body for a while, and finally had no choice but to take out a spare long sword, snap it off at one-third of the blade, leaving a tip about twenty centimeters long. A handful of linen wrapped around the tail serves as the hilt. Before he was ready, he saw Duixing hugging Nini into his arms, and the two of them jumped into the shadows together!
Nini is a shadow leopard. When she becomes an adult, she can take her master with her to perform shadow jumps. Lu Yuan knows this. But he always felt that Nini was still young and this matter was far away. But just as Muxing started to prepare, and then there was a message from Nini that she was ready to try, he knew that something was wrong! In addition to Black Claw mercenary vice-president Laiken, there are at least twenty more mercenaries around! Besides...
It was too late to think about the matter. The moment he disappeared in the shadow here, the person had already appeared behind the boulder over there. Even before Evening Star came out of the shadows, two long swords had already popped out like poisonous snakes! The attack came from an unexpected angle - Laiken was almost leaning against the boulder to form his formation, and Evening Star could be said to have squeezed in between him and the boulder. As a result, Laiken, a ninth-level warrior, didn't even make the slightest move to resist. He felt a cold feeling on his back, and with two "click" sounds, two swords came out from his chest and lower abdomen. He struggled to say something, but Duixing, who had emerged from the shadow, raised his wrists and stabbed with two swords, slicing up and down, killing his last vestige of life. Then she kicked his body toward the stunned Black Claw mercenaries in front of her, and then she emerged from the shadows!
The whole process was uneventful, but in a blink of an eye, the situation turned and Black Claw mercenary vice-president Laiken was killed! Among the two leaders of the bandits, Ramon from the Iron Throne is just a killer, and his troop leadership level is not much higher than that of the gnoll Britik. Only Lyken is good at leading a team in battle. Laiken, who was strategizing and talking a moment ago, died in the blink of an eye. Even the mercenaries and monsters present were stunned for a moment, staring straight at the female killer who suddenly appeared, not knowing what to do. That's good.
But Muxing didn't pursue the victory, nor did she escape immediately. She made a strange movement, similar to unbuttoning a leather armor.
Lu Yuan sighed, stood up, and shot a fireball into the group of monsters!
Just now, his brain felt dizzy, as if he had been hit by a brick. As soon as he felt it, he knew that something was wrong with Little Nini. Little Nini was still small, and even though Duixing only wore a leather adventure suit and carried nothing but two long swords, Nini still fainted from overdraft after jumping with her.
"Women know how to mess around!" Lu Yuan shouted, jumped down from the tree, and was glared at by all the women, "Get ready to respond!" Evening star was only thirty meters away from here, but it was like a huge chasm. Lu Yuan took two fierce steps, and with a staff, the long pole of dragon's foot wood was bent like a bow, and he was thrown towards the evening star like a sharp arrow. With the elasticity of the staff and the gap between the upper and lower sides, Lu Yuan's leap made him slide violently for more than thirty meters in the air, passing over the burning area after being bombarded by the fireball, and he fell towards the Evening Star.
Duixing put the unconscious little Nini into the leather armor to protect her. The original plan of using the Shadow Leopard's talent to jump back was not feasible. He could only wave his swords, flash out two white lights, and kill the bandits. At this moment, when he heard the strong wind above his head, Lu Yuan crossed her to block the front, but he didn't carry anything except a broken sword in his hand! Just seeing a flash of movement in Lu Yuan's hand, the weapons in the hands of several human mercenaries in front of him fell to the ground with a bang.
There was no time to think about what was going on. Taking advantage of the time A Yuan bought, she finished reciting the prayer, and a white light fell on her body, and the tank-like "summoning holy power" reappeared! "Follow me!" Muxing shouted, passed Lu Yuan, and took the lead to rush towards the mountain. At this time, the sound of bows and arrows was heard, and the two mercenaries in front were shot through the throat by sharp arrows, and fell down holding their necks. However, Qi Feng, who was particularly confident, began to shoot arrows to support them. Others are not sure, so of course the target should be farther away to avoid accidental damage. Duixing's long sword circled, and with two rainbow-like cold lights, the two enemies in front of him were cut in half! At this time, her strength was as high as 23, and she charged forward rampantly. Lu Yuan protected her behind, and after a few spells, a white light appeared on the palm of his left hand and slapped Mu Xing on the back. The flickering light covered both of them, and the speed of his movements suddenly increased a lot.
Duixing's double swords circled and charged forward. After the speed increased, no one could beat it.
But behind her invisible side, Lu Yuan held a half-cut sword and used the rapid "Thirteen Swords of Shenmen". Not only did his lightness skills reach the extreme, but also with the improvement of the three-ring spell "Acceleration", his entire speed increased. The body technique has reached its extreme speed, he breathed and left, and returned in an instant. The enemies around him couldn't see or catch him clearly. They could only see a ghostly figure flashing continuously, leaving behind mercenaries and monsters who fell down holding their throats.
The distance of more than thirty meters disappeared in a flash. Before the enemy's main force arrived, the two men successfully rushed to the city wall built by Lu Yuan. The companions cooperated to attack the enemies behind them. At this time, the effect of summoning the holy power of Duixing had passed, and he was a little weak. As soon as Lu Yuan held her hand, she understood what Lu Yuan meant and did not resist.
Lu Yuan exhaled loudly and shook his arm. Muxing flew up with his strength, crossed the city wall, and was caught by Jaheira over there. When Lu Yuan was the only one left, he seemed to relax. He waved the broken sword with one hand and continued to kill the robber, while the other hand began to guide the spell. At this moment, a short sword quietly stretched out from the shadow of the wall behind him, and slowly stabbed him in the back of the heart. It was almost the same as Evening Star's assassination of Laiken! The dagger was still two inches away from Lu Yuan's vest, and Ramon, the killer of the Iron Throne, thrust the poison-quenched dagger in his hand hard! Now that Laiken is dead, he can also solve this pursuit in his own way!
Unfortunately, only a stabbing sound was heard, Lu Yuan's body did not turn back, and a piece of the broken sword penetrated the mage's robe under Lu Yuan's ribs, and penetrated diagonally upward through Raymond's throat.
"Giggle, how do you... know... that I'm behind..." Ramon asked insistently.
Too bad he'll never know the answer. Lu Yuan didn't even look at him. He grabbed and turned his hand back as if it had eyes. Raymond's poison-quenching dagger was in Lu Yuan's hand. He leaned his back against the wall, and his legs bounced back, as if being pulled upward by a rope. His back floated upward against the smooth stone wall, and then he lightly crossed the stone wall and disappeared.
If it wasn't to lure the person who had been hiding beside him, why would he go to such trouble!
Since the group was leaderless, the bandits simply returned to the state of swarming up and down.
It was because of Lu Yuan and Mu Xing that the human mercenaries suffered the most casualties. After discussing it, the remaining few left the battlefield directly and went back to fetch reinforcements. In this situation, except for those mentally retarded monsters, those with normal IQs can already foresee the stalemate.
"You guys rest first, let's do it." Danahei said, condescendingly throwing out several greasy spells, and then released a fireball spell among the enemies, and the fire burst into flames. It's just that the enemies disperse quickly and the effect is not good. But everyone in the sword group cannot pursue them. Once they leave the range of the wall, the threat of enemy attacks will greatly increase.
In less than ten minutes, several people who were still resting picked up weapons again and joined the battle. At this point in the battle, there are no comebacks or clever tricks left, only persistence.
"Don't worry! Our reinforcements are almost here!" As soon as Lu Yuan finished speaking, a large-scale commotion began behind the enemy's team. A white light suddenly shot into the enemy's formation, knocking the people who were attacking the bandits off their backs. Then a female knight riding a white horse rushed in, holding an eagle shield and waving a big sword.
"It's her!" Chanem shouted in surprise. This was the female knight who stood behind the Wei officer and encouraged him. She was secretly in love with him. She was temporarily ranked third and could threaten Evening Star's third place at any time. The royal sister in the second position!
"What her? That's my wife!" Lu Yuan said dissatisfiedly, and then spent ten seconds throwing a four-ring magic "Icestorm" at a place where enemies were densely packed. Huge ice blocks Mixed with the blizzard, it came crashing down, and the place became a world of ice and snow for a while. The great spell cleared a path of flesh and blood for Annie.
"She, why is she your wife again!" Chanem shouted with grief and indignation. At this time, Annie, who had already rushed nearby, slapped the unicorn, and Ronaldinho easily jumped over from the stone wall. Seeing that everyone looked miserable and tired, Xiao Luo raised his horn a little, and a white ripple brushed over everyone's body. In an instant, the fatigue in the whole body was swept away, and the blood and mud stains on the body were also washed away. Even the wounds stopped bleeding and closed quickly.
"It's really a unicorn!" Jaheira sighed as she put down the sling and was crossing her arms and slapping her muscles.
"You need help, so we are here." Anne said handsomely. There were little stars in Imond's eyes. She especially admired the women who could suppress Chanem.
"Brother-in-law! Brother-in-law!" Xiao Luo happily ran to Lu Yuan's side and said flatteringly, "Brother-in-law, do you think I'm awesome? Am I handsome?"
"It's so handsome, so cool, it's beyond description!" Lu Yuan patted her big head and teased. Ronaldinho, who didn't know he was being teased, laughed like a donkey and rushed out again. Anne, who wanted to say a few words, had no choice but to make an apologetic gesture, wave her "Lake Light" sword and start the harvesting mode again, and kill towards the enemy's dense area.
Under her sharp Huguang sword, her hands, feet and weapons flew together, and her brains were the same color as her internal organs. She really cut off everything and pierced everything. It felt like she was cutting grass with a dragon-slaying knife. The most important thing is that the tranquility of the lake light allows her to observe the environment calmly at all times, and will not be dazzled by the fierce battle at all.
"Follow!" Lu Yuan waved his staff and followed behind the horse, continuously casting control spells. Dusk Star's swords flew out like lightning in the dark clouds, shooting out streaks of light, killing those who were controlled and unable to fight back. The bandits harvest to their heart's content. Then came Jahira and Imoen, who protected Dynahe in the middle. Chanem, Minsk, and Khalid were behind, and the eight people dug in like a wedge. The Uyghur Army has also outflanked them. After half a month of fighting against the bandits, the Uyghur Army's combat effectiveness has undergone earth-shaking changes. Now it is like a stone being thrown into water, smashing seven of the remaining bandits of more than a hundred people. Bits and pieces.
When night fell, the bandits were finally completely wiped out. The two sides met together and everyone was jubilant.
"There should be more later." Lu Yuan avoided the cheering crowd and whispered to Mu Xing and Annie.
"You come and prepare. If you hold on longer, it's best to attract them all! I will bring new reinforcements." Annie hugged him and turned over on Ronaldinho. Lu Yuan saw her going to the Wei officer to explain a few words, then he climbed on the Unicorn's back and said coolly, "Tomorrow's dawn, look to the east!" After that, he drove the Unicorn away like crazy. .
"Well, um, there are still about ten hours until dawn tomorrow, right?!" Wei said in shock.
Morale then hit rock bottom.
Lu Yuan wanted to complain that those were Annie's lines for playing Gandalf...but he was also a little worried and really wanted to kneel down for her.
Unable to decide anything, the few people who had discussed it could only start assigning tasks and continue to build fortifications on the island. This time they could plan carefully.
ps: I worked overtime to write the plan and was really busy. rs
