my age of magic

144 Chapter 144. Fight or Flee

In the early morning, the blood wolf clan knights left the camp alone, and returned to Gludin Town with the news of our team.For every team that recently left Gludin Town, the Gludin Town Presbyterian Council sent knights to search for them in the wilderness. Such sea hunters who cast their nets everywhere obviously have no clue to the thief who stole the Thunderbird feather.And we were undoubtedly included in the list of suspects. The timing was too coincidental. It happened that half a day after we left Gludin Town, the feather was stolen. Fortunately, we have sufficient evidence to prove that we No chance to be involved in this matter.

I remember that a few days ago, Kurtz's sister, Ms. Kuyeluman, was quite proud to introduce to us the feather full of the power of lightning.It is difficult for every magician to resist such a feather full of lightning power. If it is inlaid on the staff, it can directly upgrade a rotten branch into a staff of excellent quality.

But soon, our attention shifted from one thing to another.

On the afternoon of the second day after walking out of Gluding Town, Katerina stood on the Yagui beast and looked into the distance, and found the leader of the liger who had abandoned his knife and escaped in the wilderness at the northern foot. Pigu Bolai horse stood far away on the mound, watching us quietly.If it weren't for Katrina's super-sharp eyes, we wouldn't be able to see at all.

I finally knew that the inexplicable panic last night was not for no reason.It's just that at that time, a blood wolf clan knight suddenly appeared in our tribe.It was the knight who sent us the letter, who was also investigating whether we had an alibi, who scared away the leader of the ligers.I think he must be looking at us coldly from a distance at this moment.

To this day we still don't know his name, but his golden eyes full of killing breath are deeply engraved in the hearts of each of us.I guess he is at least a sixth or seventh-level fighter.If Qige hadn't used a scroll of wisdom on the spot that day, there was a real possibility that he couldn't stop the charge of the liger leader.

Unlike the noble children of Mingqian or Dayi, these noble children are just warrior apprentices in the academy who have not officially become warriors. They don't even have any actual combat experience. However, these robbers on the wasteland are different. Has a wealth of combat experience, and the level has reached the strength of Qiang Bach in the Wind Chaser Adventure Group, or just one line behind Baoji, the leader of the Starry Adventure Group.

First, the leader of the ligers and tigers stood alone on the mound, looking at us from afar.

One horse, two horses, three horses... A dense black line appeared on the entire mound one after another, and hundreds of horse thieves appeared on the horizon.

It was a group of fighting argali in gray armor, with a pair of huge curved horns on top of their heads. Those gray dwarves in scale armor, with huge two-handed mountain axes on their backs, stared at us coldly.At this moment, when I saw the sea of ​​people on the opposite side, my heart felt icy cold, and the bone marrow chill extended from the soles of my feet to the top of my head.

After Kuz and I looked at each other, we both knew something was wrong.

The next moment after those gray dwarves appeared, they raised their horsewhips and rushed towards us, and the dust they raised covered the sky and the sun.

It seems that this surprise attack by the leader of the ligers has been planned for a long time, and they are waiting for us in the wilderness outside Gludin Town.I didn't know what to do for a while, when I saw Katerina who was trembling with fright, I whispered close to her ear and said in the lowest voice: "If once we are dispersed, you will carry Qi run, run as far as you can. she's light, you can run fast, can't you? I'll let you take enough frost scrolls, just run out of their sight and find a place Hide first, you know?"

Katerina's eyes were full of fear, and she was even a little speechless, but fortunately she could still nod to show that she understood.

I let go of Katerina who was at a loss, jumped to Qige's side and gave her a hug, then supported her head with both hands, and stared closely into her eyes. Although she is a noble apprentice magician, she I still panic when faced with fear, so I said to her: "You and Katerina will retreat with the old people and children in the tribe in a while, don't come back to look for us, you know? Let Katerina be caught by this You run, the farther you run, the better. Bring more scrolls on the way!"

"Jijia, what are you talking about? Get ready to fight!" Kurtz's voice came from behind Yagui Beast, and he was calling me.In Kurtz's dictionary, there are never such words as failure and retreat. No matter what kind of crisis he encounters, he will rush to the front without fear, and I, at least in Kurtz's eyes, am also such a person. A person who is fearless and fearless against any danger.

I turned around and saw that he had loosened the ropes of the enchanted wooden box full of frost scrolls, and the heavy wooden box fell on the sand hill with a bang. I knew Kurtz must want to fight to the death here, I guess I must Those four-legged argali who can't run, rather than being caught up and hacked to death, it's better to be more manly when they fight back.So he said to Kurtz: "These scrolls are too late to be clamped, and they are all scattered on the slope. We use arrows and copper peas to trigger the mechanism of the rope buckle!"

At this moment, Gribasqin ran out of the crowd in embarrassment. He wanted to grab Gerila's hand, but Geribasqin was as slippery as a fish in the water, and her grandfather did not let her hold her back. Gribasqin Stamping his feet, he said, "You are going to run with Master Kurtz and the nimble female warrior. Grandpa will stay here for a while with these old guys who can't run. You must remember that once you are about to be overtaken , split into two groups and run separately, only in this way can we have a chance to survive.”

"Grandpa, can I get out or not, I want to fight to the death with Az!" Gerile touched the short javelin behind him and said courageously.

Gribaschin murmured with some moisture in his eye sockets, "Silly boy!"

At this time, the orc girls in the Raitu tribe also found gray dwarf robbers all over the mountains and plains in the distance, and the dust kicked up by those running argali sheep made the horizon look like a sandstorm.Almost all the orcs in the wasteland have been looted by the gray dwarf bandits. If the gray dwarf bandits hadn't been so rampant, the great figures in the orc tribe would not have devoted their entire country to destroying the gray dwarf bandits.It's just that at this time, a hundred miles away from Gluding Town, there is such a gray dwarf bandit group with a team of one hundred people, which is really surprising.Last autumn, the allied orcs once patted their chests and said to all the orcs: The gray dwarves have been killed by us!
This time, the panic did not spread.

When the dust filled the sky and the gray dwarves and robbers appeared, the most important figures in the team did not hesitate, and were very active in preparing for the battle.Especially when the whole box of magic scrolls fell directly on the hillside, and it looked white from a distance.I took out the silver-plated shotgun from the luggage roll and checked it on my back a little.

Fifty orc girls carrying short javelins stood side by side on the highest point of the mound, and behind them was a group of unarmed old and weak orcs.Some orcs in the crowd began to hum a melodious folk song, and I could only hear the general meaning: Today is a glorious day, and the blood-stained banner covers us. Have you ever heard the cries of soldiers fighting on the battlefield, Who will come among us and kill our children, our wives, our relatives?
Then some people started dancing to the rhythm, some female beast warriors even untied the leather vests on their upper bodies, and they danced together with faint drumbeats.Elder Gribaschin, who was sitting by the side, rolled up his sleeves high, and kept beating on a gray stone drum. Although the sound was faint, I felt a melody that made my blood boil from the bottom of my heart. Breeding out, it is a very magical power, filling my body.

I can't help but want to dance with those beast girls standing in a row. I can't feel the fluctuation of magic elements in the air, but there is such a force growing in my body.I looked at Kurtz beside me in amazement. He also became extremely excited at this moment. At this moment, the fear in everyone's hearts was slowly dissipating.

At this time, Katerina actually jumped off the sub-top. She took off the linen smock outside, revealing the salamander skin light armor inside like a burning flame. With her fiery red hair, she looked like a flame. elf.Holding the Sword Breaker in one hand, she jumped to my side, apparently wanting to fight with me.

I pushed her hard, threw my arms around her neck, hung on her soft body reluctantly, and said to her close to her ear: "Go and take care of Qige, you have to wait until the last moment Run away with her, you know?"

She hesitated for a moment, but shook her head firmly, and said hoarsely, "I want to fight with you."

Kuz's maid, Asakusa, was also carrying a black iron rod at this time, and quietly followed behind Kuz, no matter how much Kuz tried to persuade her, scold her, or push her, she was unmoved, and just followed Kuz stubbornly. Behind him, Kurtz finally saw Kurtz helplessly taking her with him, and scattered the frost scrolls on the grass as much as possible.

When I was hugging Katerina and trying to persuade her again, Qige jumped off the back of Yagui Beast wearing a large magic robe, holding a magic rune sword in one hand, and ran over angrily, glaring at me, that beautiful The big eyes seem to say to me: You are a bit too contemptuous of people!Standing beside me, she looked excitedly at those beast girls dancing the war dance, and said, "Look at those beast women, they are dancing war dance!"

I was a little silly, and said: "So this is the war dance. I thought it was such a mysterious dance, but it turned out to be so simple! I can learn these too!"

Qige said with some insight: "It turns out that the war dance is not based on a specific dance posture to inspire a certain power. They are more like praying to the ancestors along with the rhythm, ah! Yes! Why didn't I think of it?" , This is the power of the ancestors, the orcs believe in the spirits of the ancestors and the beast gods, it seems that these war dances are praying for the protection of the spirits of the ancestors."

Those gray dwarf bandits rushed over like a tide, and I saw the leader of the ligers rushing to the forefront.He was mixed in the crowd, with two giant swords on his back, and those two giant swords were clearly the two that had been sold to the human businessman when he was in Gludin Town.No wonder our whereabouts are so thoroughly tracked down by these bandits. There must be a mole in Gludin Town who is there to support them.

The dwarf bandit rode an argali and galloped all the way, and adjusted the formation for the final charge at the bottom of the slope 500 meters away from our tribe.The leader of the ligers was next to a stout gray dwarf robber, trying to persuade the bearded gray dwarf leader. I saw that the gray dwarf had begun to hesitate, and the bearded leader raised the hammer in his hand. Lifting it up, at this time, none of the argali knights dared to jump over the hammer he raised.

...beautiful dividing line...

The leader of the gray dwarves, Barent, held the huge argali horn with one hand, and held up the warhammer with the other. His arrogant eyes burst out with hatred, the blood in his body was boiling, and his strong body was wrapped Under the gorgeous dwarven scales, even the combat argali on its crotch is covered with a thick layer of armor.

These fighting argali had been fed the forage mixed with poppies before, and in the next hour, it was their most excited period. Their eyes were already filled with red bloodshot eyes, and their noses were constantly spraying. Breathing the heat, he was restlessly kicking on the soft grass, just waiting for the horn of war to blow, then rushed forward without any scruples, slaughtering all the orcs within sight.

Dwarves are very vengeful, and these hatreds will grow stronger with time, like barley wine in a beer glass.Their hearts are not as broad as their bodies. Regarding the defeat in the battle with the Orc Horde Alliance last year, which caused the entire front to collapse, Barent, the leader of the gray dwarves, always believed that it was the fault of the big leader Bronzebeard. defeat.

Most of the gray dwarves who survived the war have gradually migrated to the deeper underground world during this year. The vanguard has found a new volcanic lava pool deep in the veins. If there is an underground fire, the dwarves will dig out a city in the underground world with their high-level forging technology.

But for Barent, the leader of the dwarves who used to plunder the orc tribes in the Pai wasteland all day long in the western wilderness, this kind of life hidden underground is unbearable.There is not enough ale, no warm sunshine, no fragrant grass, only red underground lava belt, if you accidentally fall into it, it will turn into a puff of blue smoke.

Barent didn't like this kind of life. He would rather die in battle with dignity than continue to live under such harsh conditions.So on the night before the Winter Harvest Festival, he united some dwarven warriors who had the same idea as him and wanted to return to the ground for revenge. returned to the ground.They were worried about the encirclement and suppression by the allied forces of the orc tribes. Throughout the early spring, they had been wandering around the edge of Qinghai Lake outside the Yelangya Mountain Pass. There was almost no grass growing there. If it wasn't for the fact that they could sneak into the edge of the swamp hundreds of miles away in the south of Qinghai Lake , dig some sweet potatoes, these gray dwarf warriors may not be able to survive this severe winter.

In the past few months, XZ has been hiding in the east and worried about the encirclement and suppression of the allied forces of the orc tribes. There are shadows of wolf riders everywhere in the wasteland. Said that the strength is too strong, the orcs don't seem to know what fear is, and when they see the gray dwarves, they will rush over with red eyes and desperately.Barent's hatred for such a tough nation has already taken over his head.

This time, the gray dwarf's friend, the liger warrior Beverkuli, brought news that there was a team of orc tribes in the western wilderness, and they rushed to Night Wolf Cliff with a large amount of supplies to encircle and suppress the wind wolves entrenched there. The old nest, in such a catastrophic year, and such a big move, finally gave Barent a chance to take revenge on this group of dirty orcs.

Originally, for this operation, some conservative gray dwarves in the team did not agree with this surprise attack, and thought that at least a small group of servants should be sent to find out the reality of the opponent, but the liger, Biffle, laughed at them A group of bears who can't even beat a woman, and they pat their chests to ensure that the whole team is some orc girls and orc children who can only shepherd. fighting.
