My Magic Age
Chapter 474 271. Battle of the Pass
Mount Antias does not refer to the steep mountain where the temple is located, but to the mountains within a hundred miles around the temple. There are many dangerous peaks and deep valleys in these mountains. The location where the tauren Luka and I are is at the ancient pass between the valleys in the westernmost part of the Antiya Mountains. Looking west from here, we see a vast hilly area. On both sides of the valley where the ancient road is located are some peaks that cut straight into the sky like knives. Although these peaks are not tall and majestic, they are very steep and difficult to climb.
This winding and narrow ancient road is not long, only a few kilometers away at best. However, this is one of the few exits in the western mountains of Antiea.
The winter night was extremely cold, and the air he exhaled made the hair on his face hang with a layer of white frost. Even the tauren Luka covered his body with a thick cotton coat. Luka was walking in front. He tried his best to shield me from the biting cold wind. Braving the severe cold, Luka and I returned to the valley entrance. I had to set some traps here before Cynthia and the others came out of the valley passage.
With a look of pain on my face, I took out the scrolls of 'Frost Nova' from my magic pocket. The high-grade materials and ink consumed by these magic scrolls cost more than fifty magic crystals. This is almost the same as this two months. Accumulate all the income from the Magic Grocery Store. Originally, Marvin and I wanted to put these 'Frost Nova' scrolls for sale in the store. These first-level advanced magic scrolls cost a lot of money in the market. I heard that I became a falcon and was going to hunt outside the city. To kill the barbarians, Marvin was worried about my safety and asked me to carry as many scrolls as possible.

Nowadays, the magic herbs and ores produced in Xinliu Valley are continuously transported out by the orcs, as well as some precious wood. The business of the magic grocery store is booming, and the cooperation with the Magic Academy laboratory is on the right track. With some There is still some surplus in exchange for low-level magic herbs for magic scrolls. The blacksmith shop has also successively produced nearly a hundred magic rune boards. The surplus from the magic grocery store is enough for my normal expenses of studying inscription literature.
Luka climbed up to the high cliff at the entrance of the valley, observing the situation in the valley under the moonlight, and stood guard while lying on the cold boulders against the biting cold wind.
I started to mix these 'Frost Nova' scrolls and 'Frost' scrolls and arrange them at the mouth of this valley several hundred meters away. Barbarians are different from those Warcraft. They know about beast traps and magic scrolls, so when setting traps, they can't be like Place the 'Frost Trap' on the ground casually as usual.
Gently remove the snow, place the scroll in the snow pit, place the animal trap on it, open the reeds of the animal trap, and then condense a half-inch thick ice cover on top, and put the animal trap on it. The trap is completely protected, and then the snow around the ice cover is smoothed before a trap is set.
These ice shields are completely simplified versions of 'ice shields'. These round ice shields are usually simply condensed using the water gathering technique. However, in winter, the ice condensation process can be omitted, and the magic pattern drawing and spells can be used. In terms of it, it becomes much simpler.
The strength of these ice shields is just enough to bear the weight of ordinary people. Ordinary people can pass safely on the ice shield, but those three-meter-tall barbarians and minotaur Luca will easily crush the ice shields when they step on them. And trigger the trap inside the ice cover.
In this extremely cold weather, the condensed ice shield will always exist. More than 20 'Frost Nova' scrolls and more than 50 enhanced 'Frost' scrolls were buried in the snow one after another. At this time, the tauren Luka had already sent a signal to me on the high cliff. Unexpectedly, before my trap was completely set, he discovered something unusual in the valley.
The tall body of the tauren slid down the steep rock wall, pointed at the mountain pass on the other side of the valley, and shouted to me nervously: "Jia, someone is coming over there!"
He decisively gave up on setting up the trap, climbed up from the snow, and quickly ran to the mouth of the valley.
I couldn't see the situation on the other side of the ancient road from my position, but I was not idle. Instead, I started to take out my wand and quickly drew a blue magic circle. The spell was howled by the wind, and my face was covered with ice. The wall kept appearing in front of me. This ice and snow weather had a certain increase in my ice magic. There is a strong ice element in the air, which allows me to make ice walls nearly a third of the time faster than before, and the created ice walls appear larger and harder.
When these ice walls that were ten meters long, three meters high, and two meters wide appeared in front of me, I pointed at the gaps between the ice walls and the stone walls and said to the tauren Luka: "Hey, man, help me close those gaps. Block it with rocks."
I know that this is a bit difficult for the tauren Luka, but I no longer have time to make a perfect ice wall, so he must help me with some details. The tauren Luka was the kind of honest old cow who never knew how to say no. He said in a slightly rough voice: "I know!"
He walked directly to the pile of rocks at the mountain pass, picked up a stone as big as a millstone, walked to the pass, and stuffed the stone into the gap between the stone wall and the ice wall.
Luka's actions were obviously a drop in the bucket. I saw a huge gap between the ice wall and the stone wall. Even if more than a dozen large stones were put in, the gap would not be filled. Watching Luka moving the large stones with a 'grunt', and seeing the crowd approaching us in the distance, I was also frowning for a while. Suddenly, I saw a few big trees next to the valley. A new idea flashed in my mind. I pointed at the apple trees and said to Luka: "Use branches, use those branches to fill the gap, and then fill it with snow!
The magic of 'ice wall' consumes a lot of my mana. After all, I am only a seventh-level magic apprentice.
My magic pool is almost full, and I can only make three ice walls at once. Fortunately, my magic recovery speed is very fast. The blue crystal stone drum floats beside me. I feel that the magic elements in the air are like a little bit of fine dust, constantly gathering into the stone drum totem.
And the various magic elements in my body The mana in each node also started to run at full speed along the meridians of the whole body, forming a vortex in the body. As long as the ice elements from the outside world were free within three feet of my body, they would be absorbed by the vortex force and attached to my body. This wonderful feeling made me feel a little cool, and those were all ice elements in the surrounding space.
Perhaps it was because of this strange phenomenon, coupled with the effects of "heating" and "mana recovery", that I was able to make five ice walls in one breath, and then I felt that my magic was close to exhaustion. I immediately sat on the snow and forced myself to enter the "meditation" state to quickly recover my magic power.
Luka followed my instructions and broke all the trees, then dragged the big trees directly to the pass and filled the gaps in the ice wall.
A quarter of an hour later, my mana was restored, and I saw the minotaur Luka, steaming all over, and was Crazy shoveling snow into the cracks of the ice wall.
In the valley in the distance, there were shouts, wailing, cursing, fighting, and even flashes of fire. I guess those should be the magicians' fireballs. The men who escaped from the valley burst out their last potential and ran desperately towards the valley entrance. Perhaps they thought that once they rushed out of the valley entrance and scattered into the hills, there might be a glimmer of hope. Just for this slim hope, these people who were caught by the barbarians and regained their freedom began to run wildly.
Hundreds of people squeezed into the narrow ancient road, just like a handful of black sesame seeds were casually scattered in this ancient road. They stumbled and fled here. Just looking at the staggering posture of those people when they ran, you can tell that their physical strength has been squeezed to the point of almost exhaustion.
There were still some vigorous figures fighting with the barbarians behind, and barbarians kept chasing up. If they rushed into the fleeing human slave camp, they would be killed by the falcons at all costs. Those barbarians fell on the ancient road with angry expressions. In the chaos, no one cared who killed the barbarians.
It seemed that the battle had lasted for a long time. Those warriors mixed in the crowd were already exhausted. If there were no barbarians approaching, their walking posture would be more embarrassed than these fleeing civilians.
I didn't bother to take a closer look at the battle situation. I quickly condensed ice to seal the gap between the branches and the ice and snow that Luka had finally filled in. There were huge gaps on both sides of the valley. Despite the weather where water dripped into ice, sweat still oozed from my forehead.
This pass was sixty or seventy meters wide. We only left a ten-meter-wide passage in the center, and the rest were blocked by huge ice walls. I need to make a total of seven ice walls connected together to barely block the entire pass, and leave a passage in the middle, so the ice walls here are placed a bit like a trumpet. The further you run inside, the smaller the exit.
After condensing the sixth ice wall, I found that the water element spirit incarnated by Sister Guoguo was squatting quietly beside me. She curiously watched me cast the "ice wall". When I cast the "ice wall" for the seventh time, Sister Guoguo's water element spirit actually imitated my movements beside me and drew a half magic pattern array in front of her body. Although the magic pattern array eventually collapsed, it also surprised me so much that I almost swallowed my tongue. She could actually control these ice magic elements in the air.
I thought to myself: I donโt know if this is Sister Guoguoโs powerful water magic talent, or if the water element spirit is born to understand water or ice magic.
The three-meter-high ice wall can only stop the footsteps of ordinary people. It has no effect on human warriors, let alone those strong barbarians who are more than three meters tall. Therefore, the ice wall must be raised a little higher. I think if possible, it should be increased to more than nine meters. This requires me to stack three layers of ice walls upwards. In addition, the foundation may be unstable and the ice wall will fall apart with a slight bump.
Luka and I climbed up the three-meter-high ice wall and continued to cast magic. We piled up the huge ice wall at the fastest speed. Seeing a huge ice wall appear in the field of vision, the people fleeing from the valley were completely panicked. Some even collapsed on the spot and sat on the snow.
The ordinary civilians running in the front were only a few hundred meters away from the pass. I could clearly see the situation behind the entire team. There were new barbarian reinforcements catching up from behind. The human warriors immediately fell into a bitter battle. There were constantly warriors rushing out of the crowd and joining the battle group. Correspondingly, more and more barbarians came from behind. Four barbarians had rushed up together before, and then three more barbarians joined the battle group.
Dozens of falcons of different professions were struggling with seven furious barbarians. Those barbarians were wielding stone sticks six to seven meters long with both hands, causing ice, snow and gravel to fly everywhere wherever they hit them. The seven barbarians, who were desperate for life and death, stirred up the rear of the team like boiling water and kept rolling.
More than thirty soldiers scrambled to deal with the barbarians who had joined forces. As they approached the mouth of the valley, the soldiers lost their will to fight and just wanted to rush out quickly to see the vast sea and sky.
Their murderous intentions had faded, and they were dodging the attacks of the barbarians with exploding stone sticks. They were scattered around and fighting, stalling for time, as if they were waiting for the civilians to escape from the pass and everyone left together.
In front of the crazy barbarians, you must be careful every step you take.
There are still barbarians coming over the ancient road in the distance. If those new forces come over too, the human race's front will collapse in an instant.
There were constant crossbows shooting powerful arrows in the crowd. I thought Vayne must be hiding among them, trying hard to find Cynthia in the crowd, but unfortunately she couldn't be seen at all in the chaos.
Luka stood at the gap in the ice wall, waving his red cloak vigorously to make himself look more eye-catching. Facing the howling north wind, he shouted loudly on the six-meter-high ice wall: "Hurry up. Run towards the middle. Only the middle section of the ice wall has an exit. The rest has been sealed with ice. Run towards me!"
A ranger carrying a hunting bow quickly rushed up the ice wall and said to the archer who was running up behind him: "Archer, hurry up the ice wall and prepare to meet other companions. We must block these barbarians at all costs." Inside Mount Antioch!"
After listening to the ranger's loud shout, several figures jumped out from the fleeing crowd and climbed up the six-meter-high ice wall on their hands and feet. These archers quickly stood in a row on the city wall, scattered on the city wall, and sent their feathers to the city wall. The arrow was loaded on the long bow, aiming at the seven barbarians chasing after him.
A female archer with a curvy figure ran up to me in surprise. She was carrying a heavy crossbow behind her. At this moment, the quiver was empty, but she was holding an alloy bow in her hand. When she saw me putting the fifteenth A wall of ice built up, and she made a slight trembling sound in her throat: "Jia, why didn't you leave?"
It was Vayne. I hadnโt seen her for just a few hours, but she was already as embarrassed as a refugee. Her leather armor was covered with mud and water. When I saw sweat dripping down her face, I knew she must have gone through something. What a hard fight!
At this time, hundreds of human civilians gathered along the edge of the ice wall to the center of the ancient pass and fled the valley in panic.
Seeing someone running out smoothly, hundreds of refugees burst out with new potential and suddenly rushed to the pass built with a temporary ice wall. The ten-meter-wide Yonglu Road intersection suddenly seemed extremely crowded.
I took out the long-barreled Thorium shotgun from my magic belt bag and held it in my hand. I looked at Vayne with some pride and said, "I'm here to help you. Where is Cynthia?"
Vayne's hot eyes stared at me closely, and she didn't answer my questions. She walked up and punched me hard on the shoulder, then stretched out her hands to hold me tightly in her arms, feeling a little touched. He said: "Jia, you are such a fool!"
