My Magic Age
Chapter 515 13. Captain McIntosh
There were several rebel archers hiding in the bunker outside the hatch of the deck. Through the dim light in the corridor, as long as there was a figure swaying in the corridor, there would be messy arrows flying into the corridor. The rebels tried to use bows and arrows to block us in the cabin on this level. The minotaur Luka rushed to the front with a door panel, but he didn't expect that there was a real archer lurking among the rebels.
The man in black was lurking among the archers, but he didn't succeed in his attack. The figure flashed and disappeared directly. Among the archers, only assassins would flee thousands of miles away immediately after missing a shot. Although he couldn't flee thousands of miles away, he had disappeared.
Minotaur Luka was relieved when he saw that I only had a slight scratch on my arm. He chopped the black-clothed archer who had already hidden in the rebel team on the deck and let out an angry roar.
He held a double-edged axe in his left hand and held a broken door panel with his other hand. He rushed forward despite the mess of arrows and savagely chopped the double-edged axe on the door frame. Then he kicked the door frame connected to the deck away. Several rebel swordmen who were ambushing at the door were directly knocked away by the sudden huge impact force. After a few "thumps", they fell on the deck in a very embarrassed manner.
Luka leaped from the corridor to the deck, knocking two rebel crew members away with his strong body. He was like a violent bear in the New Siachis Mountains, swinging a double-edged axe to create a half-moon-shaped blood mist-like red blade light. The heavy double-edged axe split a rebel in half. Two rebels raised scimitars and took the opportunity to jump down from the mast above Luka's head. At this time, Luka seemed to have a pair of eyes behind him. At the moment when the rebels' high-raised scimitars fell quickly and were about to chop Luka's neck, Luka's body suddenly leaned forward, one foot took a half step forward, and the body turned around with this foot as a support point.
The double-edged axe turned into a red half-moon, cutting the two rebels at the back door in half.
Our team has begun to grow continuously. Most of the people living in this cabin are nobles with status. Some people picked up their weapons and carefully pushed open the cabin door.
After the initial panic, the calmed people immediately realized that hiding blindly would only make them lambs to be slaughtered. Only by effective resistance can they win their freedom.
Behind Luka followed the leatherworker, who had already changed his hand to a long sword at this time. He hid behind Luka with the other two young knights. They had obviously become Luka's trusted fighting partners.
Behind them were three young nobles who came out of their luxurious cabins. They were wearing exquisite leather armor and holding Crusader standard sabers in their hands. They looked like generals of the Imperial Guard. There were also two noble retainers with the status of marquis who joined us. These two retainers were strong and their hands holding weapons were very steady. It can be seen that they were warriors who had been on the battlefield and seen big battles.
There is no shortage of such excellent warriors in El City, but in the past three years, few of the excellent warriors who have emerged from the civilians are willing to serve the nobles of El City. The reason is that the conflicts between the nobles and the civilians have reached a new height, which directly led to many excellent civilian warriors who graduated from the academy not being willing to serve the nobles.
The nobles who usually lived in luxury had no ability to respond to this sudden disaster, so when the rebel crew showed their ferocious fangs, they were killed and thrown to the ground, and the blood stained the wooden floor of the entire corridor.
The two proud young knights, holding Roman swords in their hands, cooperated with each other tacitly. The two of them would always work together to deal with a rebel. This small tactical cooperation made them look very eye-catching. One of them always held a knight's light shield to defend, and the other's Roman sword was responsible for killing. I could see the shadow of the tactical cooperation of the El City Guard Battalion from their actions.
As for the three young men holding the standard Crusader sabers, their fighting style seemed a bit old-fashioned and orthodox. They always chose to face a rebel alone, defeat them in a duel, and give them a very dignified death. This ancient fighting style that would only be passed down by the Imperial Guards was undoubtedly a way to seek death in my eyes, if these young warriors had the courage to do so when they met the barbarians.
I followed the team at the end, with the four-element stone drum totem floating on my body, making sure that all members of this temporary team could feel the magic aura of the stone drum totem, and that all the warriors could maintain an ice shield. An auxiliary magician could greatly improve the morale of a combat team.
Because of this, under the leadership of the Minotaur Luka, this temporary combat team, like a tiger entering a flock of sheep, immediately broke through the rebels on the deck and killed them to flee. The black-clad archer stood at the highest point of the main mast and shot his second arrow, targeting the Minotaur Luka. The dark arrow was difficult to be spotted in the night sky. The arrow went straight through Luka's shoulder armor and deeply embedded in the thick muscles of his shoulders.
Luka looked at the black arrow in surprise, and angrily pulled the arrow out of the shoulder armor. The arrow tip with barbs suddenly brought out a handful of blood.
This light armor of the Minotaur Luka was made by me in the blacksmith shop. I asked the blacksmith to make it with steel plates mixed with magic red copper. It is very solid. I didn’t expect that the black-clad archer could shoot it through with one arrow. Then, the arrow had enough power to pierce Luka’s "petrified skin", which shocked me.
I was confident that Luka could resist any attack on the battlefield with this armor. It seems that I was a little arrogant.
Many people think that archers are the nemesis of mages, and the longbows in their hands are the biggest threat to magicians, but in the eyes of Heidi, magicians are also the nemesis of archers, and the magic skills of magicians are also a great threat to archers.
On the chaotic deck, the members of the combat team began to chase the rebels who were fleeing and trying to hide. The death of the young rebel captain brought them a great degree of panic. The rebels on the deck lost their will to fight. I could hear that there seemed to be some kind of battle going on in the cabin under my feet. The first floor below the deck was a rest area for civilians. In the rooms there, a large number of civilian warriors who went to the imperial capital to make a living gathered.
There was a trace of fish belly white on the horizon. The whole airship became extremely noisy before dawn. The rebels could no longer control the battle situation on the entire airship. They were completely defeated.
I stood at the door of the cabin, looking up at the black-clad archer on the top crossbar of the main mast. He stood on the sail mast, a little shaky due to the strong wind. His bright eyes were also looking at the deck of the entire airship. He was holding the longbow in one hand after shooting an arrow at Luka, and the other hand kept rubbing his shoulder. It seemed that he could not shoot such powerful arrows in succession.
Looking at the wound on my arm that was gradually healing, I decided to give him a taste of his own medicine.
I rarely use the magic of "time stagnation" because I think this magic will make me dependent. After using it frequently, I will slowly lose my patience to quietly feel the unique rhythm and rhythm of each magic skill, and will become very dependent on the magic of "time stagnation".
I don't need it to help me improve the success rate of casting, because I can grasp the rhythm of these magic skills very well. When casting "Ice Shield", I don't even need it to help me increase the casting speed, because I am very skilled in casting "Ice Shield".
But the 'Ice Arrow' is different. It takes at least two and a half seconds to cast, and it will condense a very obvious magic ice arrow in front of the caster's body, giving the opponent enough time to prevent and prepare. Therefore, I need the two seconds of sub-dimensional space given by the 'Time Stagnation' magic.
When we were learning the magic skill of 'Time Stagnation', Heidi's teacher asked us to quickly complete the casting of this magic skill within one second. If any student could not do it, then he would fail her magic skill basic course. Everyone knows that failing Heidi's course is a very scary thing, so the students in the magic academy are very proficient in the 'Time Stagnation' magic skill, including me.
Quickly draw a light blue magic pattern array in the air, let yourself enter a very mysterious space, surrounded by emptiness and silence, this is a sub-dimensional space where only I exist, I can only stay in this space for two seconds, I can draw a magic pattern array in this space and chant spells at will, as long as the spell is correct.
In this sub-dimensional space, it doesn’t matter if the magic pattern array I draw cannot be completed. When the sub-dimensional space disappears, I will emerge from the magic space with the half-drawn magic pattern array, and then complete the rest in the real space. This is the true meaning of fast casting.
Because I used the magic of "time stagnation", in the eyes of other people on the airship deck, my "ice arrow" was simply completed in one fell swoop, like an instant magic.
A light blue magic arrow condensed with countless ice crystals appeared strangely above my head. At the tail of this magic arrow, ice magic elements continued to float outward. I sighed: It seems that my ice arrow is not perfect yet, and the phenomenon of magic element overflow will still occur.
However, this is already my strongest attack magic, and it is still when I used the magic scroll of "magic catalysis". I looked at the ice arrow that was infinitely close to complete, and thought: So this is what the ice arrow in the hands of a third-level magician looks like. (As a first-level magician, the ice arrows I usually release cannot condense the tail of the arrow.)
This ice arrow almost did not pause at all. At the moment of formation, it was pulled by my mental power and directly escaped from my control and shot towards the black-clothed archer on the mast. The flying speed of the ice arrow was much faster than any other arrow, but it was a bit too gorgeous in the dark. The crystal clear arrow emitted a white light.
The black-clothed archer standing on the mast saw the ice arrow and jumped off the mast without hesitation. The landing point was not anywhere on the airship deck, but jumped directly from the airship. The ice arrow hit the mast and exploded a piece of ice flowers as gorgeous as fireworks. At the top of the mast, where the ice arrow hit, the canvas and the mast were condensed with a layer of light blue ice crystals.
The black-clothed archer's quick reaction allowed him to dodge the ice arrow. He was like a falcon, curling up and falling down at the fastest speed.
I didn't expect that he would abandon the entire rebel group on the airship so easily and escape alone. I knew I had enough ability to protect myself from getting hurt when I landed, but it would be too hasty to abandon the airship so easily.
The moment the black-clad archer jumped off the airship, the rebels on the deck who had no will to fight and were just desperately hiding from the pursuit of Luka's combat team on the airship finally lost their last bit of will to fight. They threw their weapons on the ground, raised their hands and chose to surrender...
...
The battle in the cabin on the lower deck was still going on. I was about to rush into the cabin on the negative first floor with Luka to deal with the rebels there.
But at this time, Lady Alia ran out of the cabin and brought me another news: According to Viscount August, the original owner of this airship, Captain McIntosh, was imprisoned in the cargo hold at the bottom of the airship, and there were also several crew members on this airship there. Moreover, he reminded me that after the death of the rebel captain and the melee, the airship had been sailing out of control. Although it was still in the original wind layer, without the captain at the helm, the airship would inevitably deviate from the course again.
Without waiting for the ripe cherry-like Lady Alia to finish her words, I turned around and ran down to the cabin.
We successfully rescued the dying Captain McIntosh from the cargo hold at the bottom of the ship. The fifty-year-old captain and his crew had been starving in the cargo hold at the bottom of the ship for two days and two nights. They looked haggard and pale. In the cargo hold, food and water were their biggest enemies. Obviously, the rebels did not send them a drop of water or a grain of rice. They were starving.
He expressed his great gratitude for saving his life.
Luka took out some food and water from his bag and handed them to the starving crew members. The Tauren's backpack only had some of the most ordinary wheat cakes, but for these crew members who had been hungry for three days, these wheat cakes were undoubtedly the most delicious food in the world. They divided the food in their hands into several small pieces, trying to get a little for everyone, and then swallowed it in one gulp...
I explained the situation on the airship to him. When I said that the airship had deviated from the course and was heading towards the Ziqing Mountains.
Captain McIntosh, who had just taken a few sips of water and looked a little relieved, looked terrified, and the kettle in his hand fell to the ground with a "bang".
