A sneeze destroys a magical civilization

"Damn! We're exposed!"

"Quick! Run! Don't stop!"

"Yes! Run as far as you can before those monsters catch up."

"Warrior! All warriors come to me!"

"Don't be stupid! It's too late! We don't have time to organize the scattered people!"

…

With nervous shouts, all the fleeing prisoners became very frightened.

After finally escaping, they never wanted to go back to that terrible hell.

Coupled with the extremely low visibility of the surrounding environment, the originally orderly crowd immediately fell into chaos.

Some people stepped forward and wanted to use their prestige and bravery to gather those who were capable of fighting to buy time for the old, weak, women and children in the team to escape to Mailatma;

Some people just wanted to escape for their own lives, leaving the large army behind, spreading their legs and running madly towards the city gate;

There are also "little clever ghosts" who feel that following everyone is too conspicuous and will easily be overwhelmed by the monsters that are chasing them, so they secretly change their direction and plan to hide in the woods first, or jump directly into the river and plan to swim to the other side. go.

In short, under crisis, the various aspects of life are vividly reflected.

Seeing such a scene, Jahira and Khalid had long been dumbfounded.

They had no idea how to deal with this completely out-of-control situation, and could only watch as everyone swarmed around.

Fortunately, there were countless torches lit on the city walls of Mailatma, otherwise countless people would have been lost and lost.

"I...what should we do now?" Khalid asked in an uncertain tone.

Jaheira smiled bitterly and shook her head: "Don't ask me, I don't know either. But what we can do now is maybe buy them some time."

The words have not yet been spoken!

Suddenly there was a slight vibration on the ground.

Not long after, a group of orcs on horseback rushed out of the camp.

You know it without asking!

These guys used stolen horses to form a cavalry.

If they were allowed to rush over, the fleeing prisoners would be massacred.

Moreover, Mailatma would not allow the closed city gate to be opened in such dangerous circumstances.

what to do?

Khalid, Jaheira, and the soldiers who came forward among the prisoners were all stunned.

Because in this completely open terrain, no infantry can withstand the impact of these heavy war horses, a specialty of the Kingdom of Tethyr.

In fact, powerful horses and knights are the cornerstone of maintaining the feudal rule of the country underfoot.

But now, after these heavy war horses were snatched away by the orcs, they have become the most deadly threat.

Although the number is not large, maybe only two or three hundred horses, it is definitely not something that a ragtag group of people can bear.

What's more, behind the orc cavalry, there are countless gnolls, goblins, trolls, half-giants, snakes and lizardmen.

At this critical moment!

Zuo Si's short figure suddenly appeared on the path of the orc cavalry charge.

Before anyone else could react, he activated the [Grease Technique], [Spider Web Technique] and [Stinky Cloud Technique] stored in the magic storage ring in his hand.

moment!

Large oil stains mixed with sticky and tough spider webs, as well as clouds exuding a pungent stench, directly covered a large area in front of them.

The orc cavalry rushing at the front had no time to slow down or take a detour, so they just plunged straight in.

Due to the influence of the grease technique, the friction between the horse's hooves and the ground is seriously insufficient. Therefore, all the unlucky ones who rush in will have their mounts slip under their feet, and they and the horse will fall heavily to the ground and become entangled with those sticky spider webs. .

Immediately afterwards, the pungent yellow-green stench flowed directly into the respiratory tract and body, causing all the people and horses who smelled it to start vomiting.

In severe cases, he even fainted on the spot and was trampled and hit to death by other cavalrymen who rushed in from behind.

The originally furious and thunderous cavalry charge turned into a disaster.

Of course, this is not the most serious.

With the help of the cover of [Stinky Cloud Technique], the Shadow Legion took action again and launched a merciless massacre against the orcs who had almost lost their ability to resist.

After the magic effect dissipated, the shadow army had disappeared into the shadows.

Jahira, Khalid and others only saw corpses strewn all over the ground, as well as heavy war horses with broken legs that kept screaming.

Some of them rushed fiercely, and were surprisingly less than five meters away from where Zuo Si was standing.

But he didn't feel any nervousness or panic at all, as if he didn't pay attention to these charging orc cavalry at all.

And with the lessons of these corpses on the ground, the monsters following behind also became hesitant and did not dare to approach easily.

Because when faced with powerful magical power, these barbaric tribes living in the mountains, forests and swamps are actually just like the humans living in the countryside, they are full of fear of the unknown and death.

Of course, this does not include those snake-men created by the ancient "creator race" Wuhu.

It's just that the few arcane spell casters in this group of snake people have long been made into biological cards by Zuo Si, and now most of the remaining ones are priests and warriors.

In addition, Wilmes, the supreme commander of the monster army, flew to find the "scapegoat", so a strange scene suddenly appeared of a large group of monsters being frightened by a boy of about ten years old.

"Who is that? Your companion?"

A man holding a broad-bladed sword asked Khalid beside him.

The latter shook his head first, then nodded again, and stammered in explanation: "Reluctantly... barely. In fact, we were rescued by him just like you before."

"Oh? So he must be a very powerful mage!" The man's eyes shone slightly.

Zuo Si's sudden intervention directly interrupted the monsters' pursuit and bought the most precious time for more than two thousand prisoners to escape.

If the current confrontation can last for more than ten minutes, then everyone can safely escape through the city gate and escape into Mailatma.

"Don't be stupid! He is only about ten years old, still a child. Even if he is a mage, his spell casting level is definitely not too high. Those spells just now should have activated some powerful magic items. No! We have to help him .”

As a druid, Jaheira obviously knows magic better than these warriors.

Understand that Zuo Si neither chanted a spell nor made any spell-casting action just now.

It must be because of the use of magic items.

Otherwise, it is absolutely impossible for the three spells to take effect at the same time, but there will be a certain interval.

Just as a few people were talking, there was finally movement from the monster.

I saw about a hundred goblins being driven out by the ferocious and cruel jackals, beating and kicking them, and they rushed forward in a swarm.

You don't need to ask to know that they were thrown out deliberately to test whether the short human mage in front of you was still capable of casting powerful spells.

But just a second later, Zuo Si raised the [Fireball Wand] in his hand, aimed at the charging goblin and shot a small orange-red fireball.

follow closely……

boom! ! ! ! ! ! !

The dazzling fire and explosion turned a large area of ​​goblins into charred corpses on the spot.

The remaining ones also rolled and crawled back with desperate screams, almost twice as fast as when they charged just now.

After all, goblins are originally timid and cowardly creatures.

Expecting them to be able to withstand the incredibly lethal power-shaping magic attack of [Fireball] is better than expecting the old sow to climb a tree.

At least the latter still has some room for maneuver.

But unless the former is charmed, controlled, and brainwashed by powerful magical power, as long as more than one-tenth of the number of people die, they will collapse and flee in minutes.

Even if there is a group of ferocious war supervisors behind him, it will be useless.
