Cthulhu Gonfalons
Chapter 21
As a highly experienced criminal gang that engaged in countless fights and never got destroyed, the Orc and Wolf Cavalry could easily handle fights on a village scale. Although the leader had ordered them to start the attack, they did not attack impolitely. Instead, they shouted “Banzai” and rode their wolves into battle. They ran into a defensive position against the commercial corps, took short bows from their backs, aimed at Gerrard, and fired their arrows.
As an experienced criminal gang, the Orc and Wolf Cavalry excelled in terms of horseback riding and archery, and they also had abundant battle experience. They had calculated the distance of the attack very carefully, so they did not need to set foot in the area where the old Soth laid the trap. They had successfully carried out an attack in a region where commercial corps arrows could not reach.
Dozens of people shot their arrows at the same time, and these flying arrows were like a heavy rain of arrows, which was truly terrifying. But Gerrard was not intimidated; he did not even bother to block the arrow, other than using his left hand to cover his eyes.
The Orcs' arrows were excellent: more than half of the arrows met their targets, and Gerrard was in danger of being hit and becoming a large sieve full of holes. Seeing this, everyone in the commercial corps was almost frightened to death.
They heard a cracking sound, similar to the sound of a rock hitting a tree. As soon as the arrows made contact with Gerrard, they fell to the ground and he suffered neither injuries nor blood.
Still, it is wrong to say that the arrow does not work at all. Gerrard murmured, “a bit itchy ..” A bit itchy, that's it.
Everyone is silent. Sui Xiong felt as if he saw a pair of drooping wings rising from the head of an Orc, and black water dripping from the wings; there is also a pop-up notification that says “Cavalry of Orcs and Wolves has demoralized”. Of course, this is all an illusion.
“Bloody Hand” Ruhr frowned slightly when he discovered that the arrow did not work at all, but he did not care much about this. He had experienced many battles, and he had faced enemies wearing heavy armor more than once. So it's okay if the arrow doesn't work, because he has a lot of ideas!
“Warlock, scorching curse!” The command is in Orc language.
Then, the three Orcs who had yet to join the attack rode their wolves and approached. After walking for a while, they stopped and raised their right hand simultaneously.
The three of them held a magic wand for one foot. His cane was made of war craft bones and carved with marble magic, and a red gemstone was installed at the end of each stick.
The magic wand was a bit strange and no one in the commercial corps recognized them at first. As soon as the wave of red energy started to float around the magic wand, a young witch named Palin finally recognized him. “Be careful! It was a magic wand that could increase their range! ”
The spells in this world were not as strong as those in magic novels he had read before. Here in this world, when one practiced magic spells, the biggest problem was his reach. Since magicians needed to use their Zen power to lock onto their targets, most of the spell range was at most twenty to thirty meters. Further distance could only be achieved when Ray's magic spells were practiced to lock in direction instead of locking the target through Zen power.
A distance of twenty to thirty meters was not long enough to be safe, so a witch needed to be protected by a soldier in a real war. Once a mage lost this protection, even some advanced mages might be killed by middle-class archers.
Of course, if the witch had not retreated when she knew she had already lost her protection, or even faced off against the archer herself, she might not have lived long due to her low intelligence; she might be a witch who might have killed herself by breaking spells while practicing.
To solve the problem of limited range, technique “increase the range through spell” out. Also, to make this technique universal, which could make the range of spells two to three times longer than before, a magic wand was created.
This expensive magic wand can only be used to increase the magician's ability “increase the range through mantra”. Although the price was fixed and high, it was still a precious object that many magicians longed for. Combined with “Armor Robe” which embodies the mantra of “Mage Armor” and “life soul-saving talisman” which embodies the mantra of “Fault Free Transmission”, these three objects are known as “three precious war objects”, a standard set dreamed up by every actual battle-type mage.
Palin aims to be a great and honorable adventurer, which means that as a witch, she must be a witch who truly sees battle. So he also missed three precious objects of war. Although the range enhancement magic wand style was very special and different from the one he had seen in the magic shop, he still instantly recognized it when the three Orcs practiced spells. However, he should have realized this before.
Hearing Palin's warning, Gerrard was startled and rushed to get ready. But the three Orcs had already practiced the spell, and three rays of red light flew towards him.
The flying speed of the three lights was not very fast, and Gerrard could easily dodge. But he knew that there were many innocent men behind him, and they would definitely die after being hit by a spell if he only managed to avoid the three lights. So he gave up on the best option for her and tried to absorb the power of the three spells with the big tree in his hand.
However, the third position of the Orcs was very strange. Even if Gerrard could move very fast and the tree was indeed very large, he was only able to withstand two spells and was exposed to a ray of red light.
The dark red light looks very normal, but it is very strong. The large tree in Gerrard's hands was very healthy and strong with luxurious foliage. But after the light made an impact, the green leaves withered in the blink of an eye, and in the place that was hit by the light, a small gleam exploded into two small flames.
Ruhr smiled and felt like she had seen that the kind-hearted and kind-hearted young giant burst into disarray, or exploded from the blood suddenly evaporating. This scene was one of his favorites, a scene that could never make him sick. However, this time he was disappointed that he could only see a wisp of smoke rising. A powerful curse struck Gerrard and only burned a piece of the outer skin of his left arm.
“This spell is really ferocious! Once a person was exposed, both the inside and outside of his body had to suffer from extreme temperatures and was bound to die..This was a professional bandit who had just practiced a spell that could kill someone the first time! “Sui Xiong was a little surprised, because he never thought that a group of bandits in the border area could be so powerful. “But you need not worry, the magic energy stored in your gemstones is very abundant. Spells that face toughness with the same toughness can be directly counterbalanced by magic; it cannot harm you but will cause some surface-level skin trauma, and that's it. You will recover soon because you have a strong body. ”
Hearing Sui Xiong's words and seeing the huge tree that immediately became a torch, Gerrard was completely stunned. She knew that her body that Oscar had made for her was extremely powerful, but she never thought that it was strong enough to withstand the burning curse!
It was amazing that his body could survive with a blade or a sword, but never expected that it could also defend against such a powerful scotching curse! He thought that the toughness of his body should be exceptional among other war crafts. Maybe ... he could even fight against a huge dragon! He thought he was really very lucky to be protected by a truly omnipotent God!
Thinking of this, Gerrard became extremely confident. He screamed, waved the tree trunk that immediately became a torch, and ran towards the Orc bandits. He ran faster than a horse, and he quickly stopped in front of an Orc mage and gave him a hard blow with the tree.
Right at this moment, a circle of white light appeared around the Orc magician. The light was Mage Armor and its defensive power was as strong as chainmail. However, his spell was useless when faced with Gerrard's powerful collision. It did not last for a second, and fell in a huge explosion, along with the Orc witch and the wolf she was riding on, and they became fertilizers that nourished the grass.
Seeing this, Ruhr was so frightened that his eyeballs would pop out. Fortunately, his body reacted faster than his brain, and he immediately turned around and ran as fast as he could to create a distance between them. The members of the Orc and Wolf Cavalry instantly raised a large whistle in a group, moved the wolves together, and began to spread out in all directions. This surprised Gerrard, and he did not know where he should go.
Gerrard is very experienced, but he is not a very smart person. When he was on the adventure team, he always followed the orders of his captain. Then, when he escaped and hid in White Leaf Village and became the captain of the village guard, he always stood by his duty and did not know how to fight for power and money. The reason why the old officer considered him a “licik” person was because of the great respect from the villagers towards him due to his willingness to teach his students, he said, and this is misinterpreted by the old officer himself who always sees bad things in many ways .
Seeing the Orcs fleeing in all directions as soon as they felt they had regressed in battle, Gerrard felt he was watching the nest of rabbits fleeing in all directions like a bunch of fools.
“Hunt those three witches!” Sui Xiong's orders. In his view, the strongest people in the Orc and Wolf Cavalry were the three witches, and the threat from this gang of bandits would be significantly reduced if they were killed.
Hearing this, Gerrard instantly started running like the wind and quickly caught up with the Orc magician riding the wolf. He hit the witch's head well with a huge burning tree in his hand.
Bang out! The witch became a pile of fertilizer.
At that moment, the third Orc mage fired a spell, and the wolf leg he rode on was immediately covered by green air. Then the wolf, which ran quickly to begin with, started running like the wind. Even Gerrard was startled by his speed; he struggled to catch up, and finally gave up as the distance between him and the witch increased.
“Your Highness, I am very sorry, I failed to fulfill the task .. Please punish me!”
“Nothing, you have killed two witches, you have done a good job.” Sui Xiong was completely fine with this. “We'll see him again someday. Even though he managed to escape this time, he would not always be this lucky and would reap what he sowed. ”
“Before that, it's time for you to have dinner now.”
Gerrard sighed and was deeply troubled by his own incompetence. He threw a large tree that was already a torch on the ground, extinguished the fire with his feet and returned to the army camp in very low spirits.
Seeing that their hero who had defeated the Cavalry of Orcs and Wolves was excited, the corps members were very confused and wanted to know why. When they heard that one of the Orc witches had escaped, all sorts of feelings began to appear in their minds.
The cavalry of the Orcs and Wolves were notorious for their brutality and cruelty. Normally, anyone who discovered them could only think of how to run for their lives, whereas for a strong person, the concern was how to defeat him.
What a big difference. It's like a Bronze Rank beginner watching the pros compete with each other in an online game, unable to do anything other than continuously praise them to express his excitement and respect to the pros.
Pro, take my knee! (In the past, when someone wanted to show his respect to someone, he would give the most valuable item he had; for example, he could kneel.)
