Chapter 72 The Strength of Aklan
Once they enter the attack, the excellent combat quality of the mercenaries will be revealed.
Without Eck's detailed order, 16 mercenaries were lined up in four rows, and four swords and shields with shields holding shields were in front, covering the tomahawks and archers behind.
The two scouts held crossbows, one left and one right, separated from both sides to the camp. Their task was to attack the two wings.
And Eck walked in the front with his head held high with his head on the tomahawk. With the soul armor, he was not afraid of the attack of the bow and even the primary spell. Naturally, he was the core and soul of the whole team.
Eck's side has an absolute numerical advantage. If all the mounts are there, then he will definitely use the method of iron riding to charge to win quickly.
Now that you have lost your mount, it is the most safest tactic to push slowly step by step when the other party has a magician.
After all, most of these mercenaries have followed him for many years. It's not helpless, and he doesn't want to pay the price of casualties.Eck's tactics are undoubtedly correct, but the terrible thing is that the information he got from Wald and the middleman is not very accurate.
Level 3 mage, that's the level of Aklan two days before the New Year.
Now he is a four-level high-level mage!
Staring at the enemy slowly approaching under the slow slope not far away, the young magician smiled coldly and waved the wand in his hand gently twice.
The light flashed, and the two spells of arrow protection and perception improvement were immediately added to him.
These two low-level spells, the former can help him resist the shooting of ordinary-level arrows, while the latter can keep him sensitive.
The obscure spell muttered from his mouth, and the mage's eyes became extremely deep, and a hot fireball formed on the head of his staff.
"Fireball!"
The mage suddenly let out a low shout, and the staff pointed straight forward. The huge fireball immediately flew out in the direction he pointed, and the speed was comparable to that of a feather arrow!
The fireball containing terrible energy made a whirring sound, cutting through the dark night sky and leaving a long red trajectory, which was extremely powerful.
In the mercenary team, Eck's face suddenly changed, because the fireball flew straight towards him, which surprised him with the speed and the distance of attack.
However, this does not mean that the mercenary captain is afraid. The strength of the second-level soul nuclear warrior makes him still maintain enough self-confidence in the face of low-level human mage.
In the face of the flying fireball, he couldn't avoid it and waved the tomahawk!
Pang!
The fireball was accurately cut in the air by the tomahawk, and immediately burst into countless fire points, many of which splashed on Eck's body, but all of them were blocked by his soul armor.
That's all! Eck was sure that although Aklan's fireball looked far away and fast, its real power was nothing more than that.
"Accelerate forward and prepare to attack!"
Looking at their captain's power, the mercenaries quickly climbed to the extreme, and they shouted loudly and began to run forward.
The four archers at the end of the team rushed out of a distance and stopped. Qi Qi picked up the long bow in his hand and launched the first wave of attack.
Oh! Huh! Huh!
Four feather arrows shot at Aklan standing in the carriage - he was the most obvious target.
Aklan is still motionless. At such a long distance, the feather arrow has no threat to him who is protected. Although the sharpshooter is the nemesis of the mage, it also depends on what level he is.
Bang! Bang!
Two feather arrows fell on Aklan's body and were easily bounced away. He waved his wand, and the magic crystals inlaid on the head of the wand radiated a gorgeous light again.
A new spell is forming.
The rock hammer with a big shield and two other soldiers huddled in the middle of the two carriages to protect Xue Ni. In the middle of them was a pile of stringed crossbows, but now the enemy's position is still outside the effective range of the crossbow, and a few people can only be patient for a while.
During the daytime, Leon test-fired with a crossbow. After determining the approximate attack range, he marked the surroundings, so Rock Hammer and others knew very well when to take action.
But except for Aklan, there is another person who is not idle.
The fire hammer came out from under the carriage. He held a long bow in his hand and bit a feather arrow in his mouth.
As the only archer in the team, the fire hammer did not want to waste his ability. He did not stand up and shoot with the enemy's archers, but targeted the sneaky mercenaries in the other two directions.
Generally speaking, scouts do not directly participate in the battle. Their task is to observe the enemy's movements, prevent the enemy from escaping, and then pursue them when necessary.
But out of self-confidence, they are a little close to the camp, which is doomed to the tragedy of the two!
Looking at the enemy under the gentle slope on the right side, the fire hammer jumped up from the ground, and the long bow in his hand was pulled open in an instant, standing, aiming and launching! All the movements were completed in a blink of an eye, and a feather arrow flew out!
The scout, who was nearly 200 steps away, did not expect that the deadly attack would come so suddenly. He thought he was very safe, because the enemy was only a few people, and there were not enough people to deal with the main mercenaries in the front. How could he take care of him?
And reality gave him ruthless mockery. The feather arrows falling from the hills accurately hit his chest, and the sharp metal arrow penetrated his body in an instant!
With incomparable astonishment, the scout fell to the ground dezely.
Shoot the first scout, the fire hammer immediately took off the feather arrow in his mouth and turned around to the other side of the carriage.
The second scolder is still at a loss about the fate of his companions.
"Rion!"
On the front gentle slope, Eck, who thought he had figured out the opponent's strength, finally launched the final charge, and more than a dozen mercenaries scattered into a formation and rushed to the convoy camp at full speed.
Good job! Aklan, who stood on the top of the carriage, smiled and bombarded the spell ready to go!
A fireball was launched again, but it was far less powerful than the first fireball. The most outrageous thing was that its accuracy was also outrageous, and it fell crooked down on the grass dozens of steps away.
Eck rushed to the front and almost laughed, and his confidence in victory was suddenly full.
The mercenary team he led was less than a hundred steps away from the convoy camp, but the opponent did not have a decent interception attack, and the mercenary captain seemed to see the skirt of the goddess of victory.
But the next moment, he didn't even have time to cry!
The fireball landed on the grass and exploded, and a wall of fire dozens of feet long suddenly surged from the ground, and the burning firelight lit up the surrounding area of hundreds of meters.
If it's just an erect barrier, it's not terrible. The terrible thing is that the firewall will still move and press the mercenaries head-on at an amazing speed!
How could this happen? The firelight lit up Eck's pale face. He is not an ignorant novice. How can such a powerful range spell be used by a third-level mage?
Oh! Huh! Huh!
The three rock hammers, who were about to be injured, finally waited for the best time for them to take action. With the help of the lighting of the flames, they greeted the mercenaries scattered on both sides with crossbows.
When a wave of crossbow arrows were fired, they immediately dropped the strong crossbow in their hands, turned around and picked up the new crossbow that had already been prepared, and continued the second wave of attack. The launch frequency was so high that it was difficult to compare with the hunting bow.
"Ah!"
Five or six mercenaries were shot to the ground continuously, and the screams came one after another. Within the effective range of the standard crossbow, even the first-class soul core warrior did not dare to use their bodies to block the sharp crossbow.
And more unresponsive mercenaries were defeated by the pressed wall of fire. Even the warriors holding shields were burned painfully in the scorching flames. Those ordinary mercenaries were even more vulnerable. Several people were burned on the spot and burned a lot.
The only thing that can be intact is Eck. He split the fire wall with a tomahawk that condenses his soul power and resisted the flame splash against it with the soul armor.
But the mercenary captain's heart was extremely cold, and there were so many screams in his ears, and the losses he caused were far beyond the psychological bottom line he could bear.
Even if he can win the final victory in this battle, how many mercenaries can survive? His team is useless!
Looking at his opponent who was not far away, Aklan smiled faintly. He scattered a large amount of magic materials around the camp in advance. If this can't make the opponent lose soldiers and generals, then he, a fourth-level mage, really doesn't have to muddle along.
The mage raised his scepter again. What he just released was a three-level spell fire wall. Now what he wants to perform is the only four-level spell recorded in his magic book - meteor fire rain!
The most powerful four-level fire range attack spell!
While Aklan was showing the magician's power, in the rear of the mercenary team, Leon silently approached the four archers.
The four archers were far away, so they were not attacked by spells and crossbows. They kept pulling open their long bows and firing feathers to support their teammates. Even if they couldn't shoot Aklan, they would interfere with his casting.
It's just that they didn't expect that there would be terrible enemies behind them.
In fact, before the mercenaries launched a charge attack, Leon had followed them, but he took a long distance in order not to expose the trace.
As soon as the battle broke out, Leon immediately launched his action.
An archer lowered his arm, reached out and pulled out a feather arrow from his quiver, and quickly put it on the bow string, with great skill.
But he had just raised his long bow, and a red light flashed behind him, and his head flew to the sky!
Like a demon coming out of the dark, Leon raised a burning tomahawk and chopped on the second archer next to him.
The poor archer was almost split in two on the spot, and his scream woke up the other two companions.
But what can I do if I find out? The archer is similar to that of a mage. His melee ability is weak. How to resist Leon's attack? In a blink of an eye, he fell to the ground.
Four archers, all destroyed!
