Chapter 107 The terrifying escort and the second stage
After Kailus pressed the button of the remote control in his hand, the fire and explosions soared into the sky instantly drowned the entire camp. Those sneak attackers who wanted to rush out of the camp instantly lost 30% of the attackers under the explosion, and many of them fell to the ground due to injuries.
A scream and explosion echoed throughout the camp.
Seeing the situation below, Kailus sighed and said, "This is the first time I have seen alchemy items being used on a large scale in war. I didn't expect the power to be so terrifying. Although these alchemy items called 'mines' cannot cause too much damage to the masters, for soldiers who are not more than level 2, the power of this weapon can be completely fatal in an instant. However, the price of alchemy items is too high compared to other weapons. It is a bit waste to use so many alchemy items to deal with such ordinary troops. This is probably the same as the consumption of bombing here with a magic crystal cannon?"
Xu Yue didn't say anything after smiling. He couldn't tell Kailuth that in fact, these so-called alchemy items did not contain any magical means, but were just mass-produced from the earth's military engineering assembly line. In fact, there were not many similar alchemy items in Talumia, but every item with precise and powerful structure needs to be specially made by magicians who know how to use up alchemy. Because it uses a system of magical elements, the magic materials that need to be consumed are also valuable. If these mines on the earth are converted into alchemy items, this battle alone will be enough to make Aivo and Xu Yue bleed to the point of heartache.
"Don't worry about consumption. I have special channels to get these things, but I can't spend much gold coins. Our main task at present is to take this opportunity to find all the guys who have always been thinking about us. Then kill all the armed forces they sent out to find us trouble. However, the commander of this pioneering mission is not me. You just need to follow the commander's instructions this time." Xu Yue said with a smile.
For the development of Walker County, Xu Yue and Aivo prepared for two years. In the past two years, Xu Yue did not only prepare for Talenmiya. When he was in Ghana, he had obtained a contact information from an arms dealer through a local gang leader. With this contact information, he followed the clues in the past two years and controlled many merchants in the arms industry with the power of magic. This time, in order to successfully open up the territory of Walker County, he specially mobilized a large amount of arms from the earth.
However, in order to cover up these arms equipment, he only took out landmines and other items that do not require too many people to operate in person. After all, as long as these things are learned to install, they do not need to be held in their hands all the time. It can minimize anyone to see something wrong from these weapons. Although it has already assumed the name of alchemy items in Tarenmiya, if you encounter a spellcasting profession who is knowledgeable or very sensitive to elements, you can still feel that something is wrong. After all, the weapons on the earth do not have any elemental fluctuations.
Kailus nodded after hearing Xu Yue's words. He didn't say anything else. Instead, he gave an order to attack behind him. As the messenger behind him shook the magic wand in his hand, a group of lights with unknown meanings were received by the guards in the distance. In a short time, a large group of people appeared on both sides of the sneak attackers who were stunned by the explosion and fire, and the hidden guards were officially realized.
The armor worn by the members of these guards and the weapons in their hands are impressively known as the most sophisticated craftsmanship, and even each of them can see flickering magic patterns on their weapons. If anyone who knows how to watch them, they will find that these weapons are actually magical equipment. Although judging from those simple magic patterns, the level of these equipment will not be very high, but it can at least reach the level of magic items.
If one or several members of the escort team were holding magical equipment, then it would be nothing strange. After all, some military officers also had magical weapons. But at this time, all the 4,000 members of the escort team were holding magical weapons, which was surprising.
You should know that the prices of armor and weapons themselves are very high. It is not a big deal to wear exquisite armor and weapons without any magical effects. But if you want to arm all four thousand people like this, even ordinary Viscount Feng may have to consume most of its assets to barely achieve it. The price of magic equipment is far higher than that of ordinary exquisite equipment.
Even a level one magic sword is priced at more than 500 gold coins. It is not uncommon to have a thousand gold coins if it is better. If you want to arm 4,000 people, it will be about 500,000 to 1 million gold coins. This is just a simple investment of weapons. In addition, if you want to pay such an army and ensure sufficient logistics, the calculated funds will be enough to completely bankrupt a powerful Viscount Shifeng.
It was nothing more than the magic weapons in their hands. After they appeared, bright magic light flashed through their armor and even boots under their feet. Then the members of the guard rushed towards the chaotic sneak attackers like the wind.
If anyone outsiders see this situation, they must feel crazy. Because all the equipment on the 4,000 members of the guard team that appeared was completely magical equipment, although it was only level one magic equipment. However, if such equipment is equipped with warriors with an average of more than level two, the combat power of this army is very terrifying.
Even the elite troops as trump cards among the seven empires cannot have such luxurious equipment configurations. Only a small number of the most outstanding teams in those elite troops have equipped some magic weapons. After all, although the seven empires have great family affairs, the troops they have to support are even larger. If they are even distributed, the funds each army can get will be very limited.
The implementation proves how terrifying the first team of warriors above level 2 equipped with a full set of magic equipment. After activate the acceleration magic on their boots, these warriors rushed to those who were sneak attacking them almost instantly. When the weapons with sharp skills were used in their hands were cut off from the opponent's weapons and armor, they were as if the opponent's weapons and armor were made of wood, easily cutting off the opponent's equipment. When the opponent's weapons attacked on the armor with strong spells on their bodies, they were like wooden swords slashed on the steel shield, and could only leave a slight white mark, without any effect.
Just one encounter, the remaining six or seven thousand sneak attackers team was instantly cut down more than 3,000 people, and only a few people dodged with their rich combat experience. The guards did not lose a single person. This was certainly because of the surprise attack, and the other party was also scared by the series of mine explosions. However, this comparison of the record still left all those watching from a distance with a deep shock.
Xu Yue looked at the members of the guard team wearing magic equipment and nodded with satisfaction. The performance of the guard team made him feel that the massive amount of gold coins he had smashed in were not in vain. After all, just to purchase a complete set of magic equipment for 10,000 members of the guard team, he smashed in 20 million gold coins. This kind of business that ordered complete sets of magic equipment on a large scale could not be taken over by other forces. In the end, Xu Yue went directly to the Magic Guild to order all the items. For this reason, he even spent most of his own funds in, but the effect is still very good at present.
After comparing the most elite teams of the Seven Empires in his heart, he felt that if ten thousand people gathered together, he would not check the core forces of those elite troops. The only thing the guard lacked now is the experience of large-scale combat. Although most of the members of the guard were adventurers or soldiers with rich combat experience before becoming slaves, the guards were not established for a long time and they still needed a running-in relationship with each other.
To be honest, this army that raided them as bandits and bandits was not weak. Although it was not as good as the battle lions of the Seven Empires, it was also considered elite in ordinary cities. Just looking at the way the army had enforced orders before, it was at least no problem in terms of cooperation and obedience. However, the level and equipment gap between the two sides were very big.
The battle lasted less than twenty minutes before it ended. Due to personnel issues, the guards had no extra people to guard the prisoners, so the order received was to completely eliminate the other party. After discovering that they had not surrendered, these sneak attackers also aroused their own fierceness and completely acted as if they were to die together to fight. However, the huge gap made the opponent's desperate efforts futile.
After the battle, nearly 10,000 people attacked were wiped out, and only two people died on the escort, seven or eight people were injured. The dead and injured were stabbed in by the opponent's weapons from parts that were not protected by the armor. For example, the armor of the escort, which was almost closed, was not many parts that could be attacked, and only the eyes could not protect it.
After the battle, Kailuth did not ask someone to clean the battlefield, but issued an order for the entire army to prepare for pursuit. The members of the four thousand guards immediately rushed into the forest behind him. After a moment, a dense sound came out of the jungle. Each guard member rode on a horse and rushed out of the jungle.
The guards walked on foot when they left Black Rock City, and there were no riding beasts around them. But this does not mean that they were just infantrymen. In order to maximize the strength of the guards, Xu Yue and Aiwo completely built them as cavalry. In a relatively secret place, Aiwo purchased a large number of riding beasts for war for breeding. As soon as the guards left Black Rock City, they immediately went to this secret place to obtain riding beasts.
With Kailus waved his hand, the elite team that had just wiped out a team of ten thousand people and was still emitting amazing evil spirits rushed out under his command. In the dense forest in the distance, some snoops who had long been lurking nearby were already scared to their feet after seeing the amazing scene before. At this time, when he saw the guard attacking again, and the direction was still on their side, he immediately fled back in horror.
The beasts riding by the guards look like an enlarged version of the leopard, and are the same as those riding by the cavalry among the sneak attackers. This beast called the claw beast not only has the explosive power of the earth leopard, but also has the endurance of flattery. When running for a long distance, the soft cushion on the soles of their feet will secrete a kind of gum, which will instantly harden after the air is lifted, becoming a good protective layer. For this reason, the claw beasts are widely used in military affairs on the Tarenmiya continent. However, because of their high price and feeding costs, only some large forces can equip their troops in large quantities.
In this kind of dense forest, the clawed beasts will not be affected by the terrain at all. They will secrete a special mucus to cause the gum on the soles of their feet to fall off. Then these creatures like leopards can move forward flexibly in the woods.
Today, the army that came to the guard camp was not only about 10,000 people, dressed as bandits and bandits, but also followed seven or eight teams of all sizes, and even one team had no fewer people than the previous team that launched sneak attacks, and almost reached tens of thousands.
The guards relied on the speed of riding beasts and caught up with the teams peeping behind in just seven or eight minutes. These teams saw the previous annihilation battle of the Guards, and many of them were scared out of their courage. However, when facing the Guards' attack, their reactions were different. Some small teams with only a few hundred people immediately turned around and ran away. They wanted their parents to have two more legs. The large teams began to lean towards each other to prepare for defense, because they knew that the number of people in their team would be like they would not be able to run for a while. They didn't have many cavalry opportunities, and once they ran away, they would definitely be followed and chased by the guards.
"Scatter! Strangle!" Kailus shouted loudly. The members of the 4,000 guards instantly divided into dozens of small teams. Each team was composed of fifty people and beasts. These small teams did not care about the large teams that made defensive postures in the middle, but strangled them towards the numerous small teams that escaped around.
The Clawed Beast's advantage in speed in such an environment was maximized. The members of the guard team almost instantly caught up with the fleeing teams. The weapons in their hands swung at the escaped people with a faint light of fighting spirit. The whole process was like cutting vegetables with a kitchen knife. The escaped people kept falling down. During this process, the large teams that took the defensive team did not dare to seize the opportunity of the guard team being dispersed.
Kailus glanced at the large teams that had never dared to move, and a disdainful smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. He pretended to turn his head and said to Xu Yue beside him: "President, please take action by these guys who gathered together."
After Xu Yue nodded, he controlled the clawed beast under him and walked forward a few steps. After he raised the staff in his hand, he aimed the head of the staff at the teams leaning against each other. The next moment, he suddenly saw two fireballs with red light flashing above his head.
The crowd of people who saw him stepping out alone and were nervous in a cold sweat when they saw the two fireballs that suddenly appeared, were slightly stunned, and then burst into laughter.
"I'm not mistaken? Level 1 Fireball Technique? I thought it was such a tiring and powerful man who came out, which made me nervous for a long time. This guy wouldn't want to rely on two level 1 Fireball Techniques to deal with so many of us, right?"
"Haha. I'm so laughing. Where did this guy come from? You can show off your fireball skills? Even you can't break through the fighting spirit of me, a second-level warrior."
"This guy must be stupid. Didn't he see the number of us?"
"Who makes this little rookie wake up?"
......
After hearing the laughter from the other side, Xu Yue showed a sarcastic smile on his lips. After more than two years of learning, his lack of magic has been completely made up. He is no longer the rookie mage who can only use his own talent to perform fireball techniques. Now if he faces the enemy, he can cast a lot of auxiliary and control spells at will. However, this does not mean that the intensive bombing method of fireball techniques he used before is useless.
Relying on his perverted magic affinity, he only used one-tenth of his mental power to launch a spell when using any spell, which made him cast more than ten times the number of spells at the same level. In other words, Xu Yue could only stand up to a team of more than ten people with a third-level mage team. Due to mental power, with his third-level mental power, many auxiliary spells cannot be blessed in a team of thousands of people, but if the most basic spells of fireball are fired, the number he can cast at one time is now amazing - three thousand!
As the staff in Xu Yue's hand moved forward slightly, two rows of fireballs slapped into a column of light that looked like a fire dragon and swept towards the gathering crowd. The dense sound of mine explosions seemed to appear in front of him again, but this time there were not so many. However, the scattered firelight and violent explosions rang out in the opponent's team at almost no interruption.
Xu Yue's current fireball casting time is 0:1 second, and he can cast two fireballs at one time. That is to say, he can release an astonishing 1,200 fireballs within one minute. Even the weakest level fireballs, but with such a dense and huge number, about 15,000 people gathered by several large teams on the other side were still stunned by him in an instant.
However, because the distance of the fireball technique is limited, it is impossible to completely sweep it into a team of 15,000 people in the distance. Therefore, his fierce fireball technique bombing only covered about one-quarter of the opponent's team. However, it should be that the number of people covered was less, so the density of the fireball technique became higher.
In just two and a half minutes, the opponent was bombarded by more than a dozen third-level mage teams who were proficient in first-level fireball techniques. The title of the magician was called the battlefield turret was not vain. After three thousand fireball techniques were smashed, more than three thousand people fell down immediately. Some of the people who survived by chance were almost missing their arms and legs. They fell to the ground with a terrifying blow.
The guys who had mocked Xu Yue before were either directly bombarded into minced meat or were seriously injured. For a moment, the opponent was completely stunned by this terrifying attack. Now, with Xu Yue's mental power and level, although he can only barely deal with level 4 professionals when dealing with experts. However, when dealing with enemies below level 2, especially when the opponent is large, he can exert his advantages to the limit, and anyone who sees them will be scared to death.
During his casting process, there are also some professions with higher levels in the opponent's team who want to rush over. After all, no matter how dense the first-level fireball technique is, it cannot be used against warriors above level 4 and above even if they want to break through the opponent's fighting spirit. If someone rushes to the near future with the bombardment of the fireball technique in a short period of time, it may not be impossible to kill Xu Yue, a magician who is very terrifying in their eyes.
However, when the professions of level 5 or even level 6 rushed to the front with the fireball technique that almost formed two beams of light, Kairuth next to Xu Yue suddenly controlled the beast to take a few steps forward, and then he waved the two-handed sword in his hand and instantly slashed several Dou Qi slashes.
The crescent blade formed by the fiery red fighting spirit that was two or three meters long slashed in front of the strong men who rushed over in an instant. When these strong men were shocked, each of them burst out their own fighting spirit and blessed the weapons in their hands to try to attack this time. But what surprised everyone was that whether it was the person who blessed the fighting spirit on the armor to defend or the person who blessed the fighting spirit on the weapon to resist, their fighting spirit was instantly broken after touching this fiery red fighting spirit and did not play any blocking role. Even the various armors and weapons in the body that blessed the fighting spirit were also cut off with one knife and two swords under the fiery red fighting spirit, without any effect.
For a moment, the camp opposite was completely shocked. They never dreamed that their masters would become so vulnerable under the opponent's attack.
"Level 7 strongman, that person is a level 7 strongman!" A scream came from their team. The people around him also reacted after hearing this. Only the level 7 strongman could kill several level 6 and level 5 strongman in one move. After knowing this, the people in their team became even more panicked.
A level seven strongman can no longer win by relying on the advantage of numbers. It can even be said that if a level seven strongman is willing to fight hard, although he cannot wipe out all of them, it will be fine to kill most of them.
When Kairuz was sold back from the slave market by Aivo, he was already a high-level warrior of level 6. To be honest, if he wanted to advance to level 7 with his own qualifications, it would be unlikely. Even if he could break through, it would probably take at least more than ten years of accumulation. However, after signing a high-level magic contract with Kairuz, after Xu Yue and Aivo invested a lot of resources on him, Kairuz finally broke through to level 7 half a year ago and became another trump card in Xu Yue's hands.
While these people in the opposite team were afraid and worried, the guards and squads around them who went to strangle and flee had cleared the enemy, and then they surrounded the large gatherings like wolves.
A team of more than 10,000 people surrounded by 4,000 people, which sounds a bit funny, but when the strength gap between the two sides is too large, this kind of siege becomes a natural thing.
Xu Yue's previous fierce fireball attack and Kailuth's attack had already made these people feel completely courageous. When he saw those terrifying knights surrounding him, the momentum of the crowd of several large teams collapsed. If the leaders of each team were not working hard to maintain it, the people in these teams would have collapsed and started to escape.
After seeing the opponent's performance, Kailuth nodded. Tonight, a series of attacks were arranged, and each step was profound, with the purpose of defeating the opponent's team's momentum step by step. After all, how the number of people in the first and last groups has reached an astonishing 30,000. Although the guard team can defeat the opponent even if they fight head-on with their excellent equipment and personnel level higher than the opponent's side, the guard team itself will lose a lot of personnel. After all, there are many advanced masters in the opponent's team.
Xu Yue invested too much manpower and material resources when building the guard team, and the expenditure of funds had reached an amazing level. The losses of any member of the guard team were enough to make him feel distressed for half a day, let alone the loss of scope.
In today's operation, according to the plan formulated by the commander on his side, he first introduced the opponent's vanguard into a trap, and then relied on the power of the mine to cause heavy damage to the opponent's vanguard. This is the first time that the opponent's morale is weakened. Then the guards take action to eliminate the opponent's vanguard in a short period of time. This is the second time that the opponent's morale is weakened. The third time is the guards take action to eliminate the teams preparing to escape. After these three blows, the opponent's morale has been reduced a lot, and then Xu Yue and Kailus sell it to completely destroy the opponent's morale.
At present, their strategy has been implemented very successfully. Although the other party barely maintained that the team did not completely collapse, there is no need to think about whether they have any combat effectiveness.
With Kailus' wave of his hand, the teams surrounding the opponent's team rushed up like wolves. The team that the opponent barely maintained collapsed instantly under this attack, and everyone cried and fled around. The members of the guard team cut the opponent's team into pieces and began a crazy harvest.
The battle lasted until dawn, and there were about 12,000 people left, and the number of people who were able to escape was less than a thousand, and the rest died under the sword of the guards. The price paid by the guards was only the number of five people killed and six people injured. But even this was enough to make Xu Yue feel distressed for a long time. Tonight, seven guards were killed. Although their equipment was still there, it took a lot of energy to cultivate a qualified person.
"Notify the commander. Our mission has been completed and we can perform the second stage." Xu Yue said to the commander Kailus.
Chapter completed!
