Devouring Evolution Begins with Hedgehogs

The smoke and dust dissipated, and Schweil got up from the crater, looking at the messy scene around him with a dull expression.

The magic shields of the two mages took most of the damage, and they were completely shattered by the blast at this moment, turning into chaotic turbulent flows of magic power and overflowing in the air.

Under the shield, the originally flat ground is now covered with large and small ring-shaped craters, some soldiers are getting out of the sand in a daze, and the rest are unconscious.

As for the ice wall, it was pulverized in the first round of bombardment, leaving only the scattered ice slag that slowly turned into steam in the heat wave.

Seeing the tragic situation in front of him, Shi Weier was completely dumbfounded.

Is he bringing people here to find a place in a small dilapidated village, or is he here to fight a war of annihilation?
Does the opposite side need to dispatch such a level of firepower to "welcome" him?
And on the wall of the village, Liu Ergou also had a surprised expression at the moment.

However, unlike Schweil's shock, what Liu Ergou was surprised by was the efficient defensive spell cast by the other party.

The imitation version of the Dragon Hunting Ballista. Dami named it "Ratheno I". In the common language of the mainland, "Ratheno" means "Yarong".

For example, "Ratnovok" means "dragon moving in the earth".

In the previous test firing against Rathenor I, after the breeze spell was added to both the crossbow bolt and the ballista, the ballista shot in the test shot achieved a good result of 750 meters, and exploded at the point where the crossbow bolt landed. There is a big pit of more than five meters!
But now, six ballistas fired in three salvos, and a total of eighteen explosive bolts smashed into such a large piece of ground.

Even if the original gargoyle lord suffered this meal, he would be blown to pieces on the spot!
But Liu Ergou could clearly see that the ice wall that appeared out of thin air was smashed to pieces under the bombardment of the first crossbow arrow!
In other words, the damage from the remaining seventeen exploding crossbow bolts was almost completely absorbed by those two khaki masks!

For a moment, Liu Ergou looked at the eyes of the two accompanying mages, and his jealousy suddenly became a little scary!
No matter what you say, you have to capture these two mages and study them carefully!
This is Liu Ergou's misunderstanding.

On the one hand, before the charge, the two mages who accompanied the army gave the whole team physical and magic resistance effects such as "steel skin" and "reflective armor", which ensured that the whole team was protected after the shield was broken. survival.

On the other hand, although Schweil made his men dress up as bandits and rogues.

But "Shadow Song" is at least one of the top three large mercenary regiments in the empire, and it is also an elite unit led by the regimental head and deputy head at the same time.

In this way, under those tattered burqas, there are all excellent bases and protective gear for masters!
And backbones like Oruo and Shiweier have a few pieces of epic equipment on their bodies!
With these two blessings, it was possible that Liu Ergou's side fired a round of volleys, and only a dozen or so unlucky people on the opposite side were blown into the air, and then fell unconscious.

However, forcibly reversing the magic attribute, and such a high-intensity wide-area protective magic, the two army mages are also on the verge of exhaustion at this moment, and temporarily lose the power to fight again.

If there is another round of exploding crossbow arrows from Liu Ergou's side, then a group of people will inevitably die next.

Shiwell was very aware of the current situation, and quietly gestured to his subordinates.

The mercenaries immediately understood, and while maintaining a defensive posture, they retreated slowly, while dragging their unconscious companions back to the formation along the road.

But Liu Ergou didn't know the situation on the other side!

Seeing the opposite side stepping back in a defensive posture, Liu Ergou immediately thought that the opponent wanted to distance himself first, out of the range of his ballista, and then use powerful magic or other things to deal with him!
You can't just let them run away!

Liu Ergou made a decisive decision immediately!After saying hello to Eranster, he rushed out of the stockade with the infantry regiment!

Erlanster calculated the azimuth and distance, and issued new instructions to the ballista formation:
"Height five, twist four, two bursts, shoot!"

The six exploding crossbow arrows instantly crossed a distance of more than 500 meters, and precisely blasted a row of flame walls in the direction of the mercenary group's retreat!
"Boom!" "Boom!"

The second wave of six crossbow arrows also arrived at the destination in an instant, completely cutting off the retreat of the mercenary group.

Seeing this situation, Shiwell knew that it was hopeless to retreat, and immediately ordered his men to form a circular defensive formation, protecting the wounded and the two mages in the center.

He himself took out a crystal ball and injected a ray of magic power into it.

"Buzz!"

After a slight ringing sound, a khaki mask immediately enveloped everyone in it, and the degree of solidification of the mask was still higher than the spells released by the two mages before.

After seeing the power of the exploding crossbow, Shiwell didn't dare to push it any further, and immediately made up his mind to activate this valuable magic crystal ball!

In this way, as long as the crystal ball is not damaged, the eighth-level earth system defensive magic "Embrace of the Earth" can last for half an hour, which is enough to defend against four or five waves of crossbow arrows.

With this half an hour, the injuries of the mercenaries can be dealt with, and the two mages can also recover a lot.

At that time, my group will have the strength to fight!

It's just that Shi Weier's order to concentrate made Liu Ergou's conjecture of "powerful magic" a bit more firm!

Let the infantry regiment be divided into several independent columns to reduce the killing effect of the enemy's large-scale spells.

Liu Ergou sent two teams of messengers to convey the scheduled orders to Erlanster and Bufix respectively.

After Erlanster received the order, he replaced all the ballista with another special crossbow, and fired sequentially, continuously bombarding the white shield above Shiwell's head.

This crossbow bolt does not have a charging part, but is replaced by a cylindrical liquid chamber cast on the crossbow bolt.

The liquid tank is filled with De Lisi's special kerosene, as long as it receives a strong impact, it will immediately burn blazingly.

One after another, the crossbow bolts hit the shield with a constant frequency, evenly dyeing it into a sea of ​​flames with a steady stream of liquid fire!
Although the flames couldn't harm the mercenaries under the shield, the continuous high temperature turned the inside of the shield into an oven.

After only a while, some soldiers with slightly weaker physical fitness began to experience dizziness symptoms.

This kind of burning crossbow was originally used to attack the enemy's fortifications, but now Liu Ergou had an idea and used it as a barbecue for turtle shells.

"Are the two masters still alive!" Shi Weir shouted anxiously while urging the ice fighting spirit to lower the temperature inside the shield.

"Not yet, Captain! At least 10 minutes!"

Xiulan wiped the sweat from her head, concentrated her mind to perceive the magical activity in the bodies of the two mages, and replied loudly to Shiwell.

10 minutes!
It depends on whether Shiweier and the others were roasted to death first after these 10 minutes, or whether the two mages recovered their magic power first!
