Chapter 126 I'm Still Too Naive
The latest flame magic arrow developed by the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce will trigger the miniature flame explosion magic array engraved in the arrow after each shot, which is equivalent to the third-level fire magic.
Although the power of the third-level fire magic is not enough compared to the eighth-level magic, a third-level fire magic may not pose any threat to the blue-level protection. The power of ten, one hundred, or even one thousand third-level fire magic is accumulated, which is completely different.
Under Xu Yi's order, Hart and other guards continued to equip the magic crossbow with flame magic arrows to shoot, and the fiery red tail flames in the night sky were densely filled with no stop.
It seemed that endless flame magic arrows hit the blue guardian light curtain, causing endless explosions, like fireworks, bursting out magic lights of fire and light blue in the fields shrouded in the darkness.
At the beginning, the magician could still maintain it with his powerful magic power, but the magician's magic power was limited after all. Even if the magician was strong, he could not withstand such dense and fast bombardment of such rapid flame magic arrows.
The blue guardian only lasted less than half a minute, and the light was dimly blasted by the rain of arrows, and it seemed that it could no longer be maintained.
Faced with such a violent threat of arrow rain, the cavalry team could only be protected by light curtains before they could advance. Their speed naturally became extremely slow. In this half minute, they only advanced less than fifty meters, and they didn't even touch the edge of the camp.
At this time, the light of the blue guardian finally began to flash continuously under the constant bombardment of the flame magic arrows.
Xu Yi snorted coldly, suddenly raised his hand and waved forward.
"Take it—"
A strange dazzling light appeared out of nowhere in front of Xu Yi, and instantly cut through the night sky like lightning, hitting the light curtain directly.
The light curtain shook violently, and suddenly a bright dark blue light burst out, and then disappeared.
The electric light penetrated the light curtain and fell straight into the group of cavalry, and a dazzling white light burst out.
More than 100 cavalrymen who were originally maintaining a complete formation under the light curtain were concentrated by the lightning and were instantly defeated.
A shout came out, and the remaining cavalry suddenly turned their horses' heads, but turned around and prepared to escape.
Seeing this situation, Xu Yi snorted coldly and ordered Hart: "Catch a few live-actioners, and no one else is allowed to be left."
"yes."
Hart took the order and the guards replaced the ordinary arrow box again. Another round of arrow rain passed, and the few cavalry left fell down again like rice harvesting.
This time, the ten elves who came to serve as guards quietly sneaked out of the darkness. Hart ordered the other escorts to put away their magic crossbows, pull out their short blades they carried with them, and rushed out directly.
Seeing that the ten elves guards had disappeared into the darkness. Hart and other human guards had also controlled the battlefield, Xu Yi nodded and returned to the camp.
Everyone in the camp was awakened at this moment and was gathering in the center of the camp and talking nervously.
The difference is that the dwarves all looked excited. However, humans were also excited, nervous, and afraid.
Seeing Xu Yi return to the camp, a group of people surrounded him.
"President, how are you?"
"President, is the situation important? Do we need to go there too?"
"I said do you still need to ask? I didn't see that the president smiled, it must be fine. Right, the president?"
"President..."
...
Xu Yi smiled slightly and waved his hand and said, "Okay, the enemy has been solved. Don't be nervous, go back and rest. You have to hurry up tomorrow morning, so hurry up and rest."
"This is solved? It's too fast, right?" Everyone was stunned.
However, seeing that Xu Yi had no intention of continuing to explain, everyone discussed with each other for a while and then returned to their tents.
As for whether they really plan to continue to rest, Xu Yi can't control it.
After returning to his tent and waiting patiently for a while, a slight sound of footsteps outside sounded, and then Hart's deliberate voice came in.
"Sir, the battlefield has been cleaned."
Xu Yi lifted the tent and walked out. He saw Hart and Aesos covered in blood.
"Sir, Aesos and the others caught three people back. What do you think will be done?" Hart asked.
"Ask carefully and see who sent them here." Xu Yi ordered in a deep voice, glanced at the blood on Hart and Aesos, and asked again: "How is our loss this time?"
"The three patrol brothers died, and the others were not lost." Hart replied.
A hint of gloom flashed across Xu Yi's face.
Although Xu Yi had expected that this day would be the first day when he was establishing a caravan guard team, he still couldn't help but sigh in his heart when the guards died.
After all, this continent is still a world that is far less stable and peaceful than that on Earth.
After waving his hands to signal Hart and Aesos to interrogate the prisoners, Xu Yi turned his head and looked at the tent behind him, but found that he was not sleepy at all. After thinking about it, he simply came to the fire in the center of the camp to sit cross-legged.
Seeing the firewood crackling and sparks splashing in the fire, Xu Yi's heart was beating like a flame.
Although the attack at night seemed a little calm from the process and did not pose any threat to the entire convoy, it was entirely because the opponent misjudged the protective power of the convoy and did not expect that the convoy's guards were equipped with such powerful magic crossbows and the latest magic arrows developed by the New Air Chamber of Commerce.
Under normal circumstances, the two hundred well-trained cavalry of the opponent are extremely powerful, and coupled with a powerful magician who can support the protection of level 8 magic blue, this power is even enough to destroy a small city. It is completely easy to deal with the New Air Chamber of Commerce convoy with only fifty guards.
Such a powerful force obviously would not be an ordinary bandit that suddenly emerged from somewhere, but a regular army sent out by somewhere.
What Xu Yi is now confused about is who sent this group of cavalry and a powerful magician even if it is placed in the regular military branches of the Kingdom.
Judging from the opponent's performance tonight, it is obvious that he intends not to give the convoy any room for resistance.
However, Xu Yi was unable to confirm that the other party was planning to destroy the entire convoy directly or to plunder?
After thinking for a while, Xu Yi found that without sufficient intelligence support, he could not get an accurate answer at all, so he had to give up.
"I hope Hart and Aesos can ask for something useful..."
Xu Yi looked at the darkness outside the camp. Hart, Aesos and others were interrogating several prisoners, but what surprised Xu Yi was that he had not heard any screams, and he did not know what method Hart and the others were using to interrogate.
Given this aspect of thinking, Xu Yi began to think about another question.
The sudden attack tonight made Xu Yi feel a little alert.
He had been focusing on the development plan of the New Aircraft Chamber of Commerce before. Although he had been directly or indirectly reminded by Earl Samoy, President Cruise, Princess Sewini and others to beware of someone who would attack the New Aircraft Chamber of Commerce, the New Aircraft Chamber of Commerce has been developing very smoothly, which made Xu Yi gradually relax his vigilance.
However, the attack tonight reminded Xu Yi of a cruel fact.
After all, the Sainz continent is different from the peaceful and harmonious environment on the earth. This world is even more naked, and it can even solve the problem with the simplest and most direct violence.
Xu Yi wanted to control all the problems to solve them at the commercial level, but others would not think so.
"Simply put, I'm so naive..." Xu Yi sighed and smiled self-deprecatingly.
Turning his head and looking at the bodies of the three guards who were placed next to the camp, Xu Yi's eyes narrowed slightly.
Maybe…it’s time to change your mind.
After waiting quietly by the fire for a while, an escort came over and told Captain Xu Yihart to ask him to come over.
Xu Yi followed the guard outside the camp to see Hart and Aesos who had finished interrogation. Looking at the strange expressions on their faces, he understood in his heart that they must have had a result that surprised them.
"How is it?" Xu Yi asked.
Hart and Aesos looked at each other. Both of them had a serious expression. Hart paused, approached Xu Yi, and replied softly: "Sir, these guys who sneaked into us...the Greedy Wolf Legion from the Sach Kingdom."
"The Kingdom of Sakh?" Xu Yi looked at the two of them in surprise, looking incredible. "How is this possible! This is a total of two hundred kilometers away from the border between the two countries. How could the troops of the Kingdom of Sakh break into such a deep border and launch a night attack on our convoy?"
Hart shook his head with an ugly face: "I don't know what's going on. However, according to the prisoners' answer, they followed the orders this morning and set off without any obstacles along the way. Then they launched a raid on our convoy at night."
"Didn't encounter any obstacles?" Xu Yi narrowed his eyes, glanced at Hart, and groaned: "Hart, tell me, where is the defense range of Zhenbei Army?"
Hart smiled bitterly and replied: "Sir, although the Zhenbei Army nominally needs to guard the entire northern border of the kingdom, the Zhenbei Army has limited strength and it is impossible to send troops to defend every place. Therefore, except for the most important border line of the Murto Mountains, the rest of the places are mainly responsible by the border cities themselves."
"I understand." Xu Yi asked Hart for the record of the confession just now, and looked carefully, but did not see much valuable things. "The prisoner said that they sneaked in by following the command, so what about the people who commanded them?"
Aesos shook his head: "Sorry, Lord, there is a magician and a knight who are powerful, and we can't catch it. I think they should be the commanders of these cavalry."
Xu Yi nodded, not blaming Aesos. After all, the magician had shown strong magical strength from the short battle just now.
If such a powerful magician is determined to escape, it will definitely be very easy to cooperate with a powerful warrior, and it is almost impossible to catch them.
After looking through the confession report in his hand, Xu Yi thought about it and stuffed the confession report to Hart, saying in a deep voice: "Hart, I will give you a magic cargo motorcycle. You can pick a few guards and take the prisoners and this report back to Bonta City and hand them over to His Royal Highness Sevini."
Hart was stunned for a moment, looked at Xu Yi in confusion, but did not ask too much, and responded in a deep voice.
However, after thinking about it, he couldn't help but say, "Sir, if I bring a few more guards away, will the convoy's defense be insufficient? What if someone comes to attack again..."
"No. The attack tonight failed. The other party could not organize the same attack again in a short period of time. It would be too expensive and they could not afford it. Just follow my instructions and give these things to Your Highness, who knows how to arrange them."
Hal hesitated for a moment and asked again: "What should I do about the battlefield here? It's not good to put so many corpses here..."
