The Truth of Magic - Chapter 100
100 the battle
Zhao Xu thought about it, but he still obediently moved behind Fengye. With Fengye holding up his shield in front of him, he could at least hide a little more.
Before he had learned spells to defend against arrows, he was still afraid of stray arrows on the battlefield.
“tie shi, what do you mean by this?” noah had already noticed the leader of the troops lying in ambush here.
!!
tie shi, on the other hand, was wearing heavy armor that was much more luxurious than theirs, and was riding a fine warhorse, looking down at them from a distance.
Zhao Xu thought to himself that they knew each other. No wonder the ambush was so tactless. Even the Rogues didn’t plan to ambush them. They were just short of planting a flag and telling them.
“Noah, since we’ve fought together, you can leave your things on the ground and go. I’ll just take it that you’ve run away.” The soldier called tie Shi shouted.
even though zhao xu felt that the warriors were noobs, the commanding officer of a battle team was something that only these warriors who had gone through a life of iron and blood could take on. only they could convince the masses.
“tie shi, do you think that’s possible? How about this, I’ll give you some resources as a toll?” Noah looked at the encirclement of a hundred people slowly emerging around him and already understood that this matter would not be easy to resolve.
“noah, i’m not going to beat around the bush with you. think about it, why did we come all the way here to this godforsaken canyon to intercept you?”
tie shi said loudly, ” in the morning, the merchant union has issued an order. the position of the ninth elder, castellan kasuo, and castellan butan will be distributed according to the merits of the siege! you guys should give up.”
hearing these words, the entire caravan knew that things were going to be troublesome.
Kasuo city and butan city were located at the foot of the broken Sky Mountain range. They were the key roads to Mystra, but the two cities had never been important in the entire Tianbei Business Alliance.
the distribution of some resources was also not favored, which was also the fuse that led to the two cities ‘determination to split.
However, he didn’t expect that the Tianbei Business Alliance would give up the greater benefits so quickly before it was at a disadvantage.
If the Tianbei Business Alliance had been willing to give up an elder position to the two cities in the beginning, the situation would not have developed to this point.
it was no wonder that the caravan could still be blocked by people with ill intentions even though they had chosen such a deviated road.
it turned out that the entire tianbei business alliance, the caravans that smuggled goods to kasobutan and the other two cities, had become the desserts of the big shots in the business alliance who wanted to rise in power.
zhao xu wouldn’t believe that noah’s smuggling caravan hadn’t been bribed by the leader of the shattered stars guild in advance.
However, most of the time, the interests of the merchant Union and some of the middle and high-level members of the merchant Union were not exactly the same. However, the merchant Union’s last-ditch move had overturned all the chess pieces.
no matter how good yise was at bribing, could it be better than letting the leader of the force take over?
not to mention that this time, they were giving up three positions. they were completely not afraid of the situation of two peaches killing three scholars, which would drag them down.
when he saw that noah and tie shi were still bickering, zhao xu got off his horse. he didn’t think that he would have to get off the horse so soon after he started riding.
“let’s go back and kill that tie shi first.” Zhao Xu said to the others.
fengye looked at tie shi’s full-body armor and shook his head. “we can’t penetrate this kind of iron can.”
the full-body armor had a defense of level 8, and zhao xu’s own wizard armor spell was only at level 4.
These heavy armored knights who wore full-body armor and rode horses had always been the terrifying weapons of the cold weapon era. Without special formations or the intervention of powerful warriors or mages, it was basically difficult for ordinary people to deal with them.
don’t worry, I’m a spellcaster. I have the ability to solve it. zhao xu said.
In a place like Arthur where individual courage was valued, even if one had a superior military strategy, it would be difficult for one to take on the position of commander if one’s combat power was not high.
When a battle broke out, these leaders were the ones who were the most cared for. As long as they could be successfully killed, it would be a huge psychological pressure on this kind of hundred-man team.
It was the same for them as well. Once Noah died, if no one stood up in time, the entire escort team of about fifty people would be defeated.
At this time, Noah had clearly already broken off his negotiations with tie Shi. The other party immediately roared and began to attack.
at the same time, many martial artists who were hiding in the depths of the canyon rushed up with simple weapons. only a few of them raised their bows and fired from a distance.
“Youyou, protect yourself.” Fengye put a round shield into Youyou’s hand, and he held a tower shield in front of them.
at this time, the poet also hurriedly sang a warsong for them, while the rogue rainbow was holding a dagger and wandering around, on guard against any attacks.
As a kind priest, yoyo also raised her crossbow and began to shoot at the enemies in the distance.
In the distance, warrior Noah and a few of his trusted subordinates all charged towards tie Shi and his group.
However, even with the Buffs from charge, they were not able to do much against tie Shi’s full-body armor and shield.
zhao xu’s team was at a disadvantage. in the blink of an eye, four or five martial artists in leather armor had already charged into the defensive circle. they raised the machetes in their hands and charged at them.
The warrior, Maple Leaf, shouted and raised his shield in an attempt to block the attack.
Yoyo, who had shot the monster but not the living, gritted her teeth and pulled the trigger to shoot at the few people.
However, she didn’t have the support of a divine spell and her agility wasn’t high enough. The arrows brushed past the shoulders of the Warriors, making them focus on long-range attackers like Youyou. They changed directions and rushed at her.
The warrior hurriedly abandoned his shield and pulled out his sword in an attempt to pursue the few people.
Zhao Xu was already holding a handful of colored powder in his hand. He shouted at Fengye, ” “Get out of the way.”
then he raised the sand in his hand and chanted an incantation to the few people who were charging, ” “seven-colored spray.”
a seven-colored ray of light shot out, covering the few people at the front in a five-meter radius.
like ants sprayed with pesticide, the martial artists who jumped the fastest were swept by the rainbow light and fell to the ground, curled up, and fell unconscious.
the remaining martial artist who was running the slowest saw his companion’s miserable state and his expression changed. his footsteps suddenly became chaotic and he sat on the ground. however, he did not forget to shout, ” “Run! There’s a mage here!”
Then, he rolled and crawled back to the rest of the Army.
zhao xu’s teammates didn’t expect him to be so powerful either, and they all looked at him in shock.
“don’t be in a daze. quickly settle these few.” Zhao Xu quickly shouted.
the rogues who were on the side had already rushed over. when they heard what zhao xu said, they asked nervously, ” how do we solve this? ”
as he spoke, he could feel the dagger in his hand trembling.
“knock him out.” zhao xu looked at rainbow, who was a little dazed, and said, ” then hurry up and tie them up. ”
His spells could only control these Level 1 fighters for a few rounds, just like how specter knocked down Fengye and the others with a rainbow jet that night.
when rainbow heard that they weren’t going to be able to kill them one by one, she heaved a sigh of relief and quickly joined the poet. zhao xu continued to look at the battlefield.
None of these Level 1 Warriors had any resistance to their will from the spell, so Zhao Xu wasn’t surprised that they had all been killed by a single rainbow jet.
Level 1 martial artists did not have the ability to strengthen their will immunity like mages, let alone these people who did not have the talent to become martial artists. Their physical attributes were very average, equivalent to those who started with 8 talent points. They could forget about raising their will immunity ability with high perception.
yoyo and the others had fought too many monsters to realize the difference between ordinary civilians or martial artists and standard adventurers like them.
Level 1 mages were weak, but that was only to the other ten core classes.
