Chapter 0041 Encountering the enemy
Chapter 0041 Encounter
All of them were flying troops naturally and quickly. After half a day, in a wilderness without any danger, the undead ghost team caught up with this strange team.
As the leader of a ghost team, the 9th-level banshee is still quite wise and dare not rush up to this obviously difficult team. She just ordered her subordinates to surround the group of people and she wanted to see the strength of the team before deciding how to act.
The delegation surrounded by the undead squad had already prepared for combat. 15 knights of the Knights carried their shields and swords, surrounded them into a circle, protecting the Marquis and three mages in the circle. Rangers and wanderers, bows or crossbows, acted as mage guards. Due to Casas' early warning, everyone's weapons and shields were covered with sacred potions, which could harm those spirits that were quite immune to physical attacks. The Principality of Novis had no church and no holy water reserves, so they had to urge the Principal Mage Association to develop this kind of alchemy potion full of positive energy. Due to the high price, they could not fully equip the front line troops and could only equip the major knight orders in small batches. The team that needed to cross the undead area carried a large number of such materials.
Everyone was a little relaxed, and with the great master here, a powerful group of injuries was cast. These sixty or seventy ghost bodies that could only surround the ghosts were really not enough, but the great master's words made everyone feel terrified.
"I can't take action easily. If I take action, I must wipe out all the enemies, otherwise it will attract high-level undeads. The battle will be centered on the Marquis and Casas, and I will take action depending on the situation."
The great wizard cannot show his true strength, that is, his team is really equal to the incoming ghost team. After destroying most of the spirits, it will not arouse the real vigilance of the local commander. At most, his subordinates are incompetent at the time. It seems that a hard battle is inevitable. At least the performance must be more realistic!
With this understanding, everyone put away their contempt and waited for the Marquis' command, arranged the team closer to prevent spirits from entering the team and harming the mages who attacked the main body. Li Xun and Kasas took off their hoods and cast their mage shields on themselves before they began to prepare for attack spells.
Seeing the two shiny mage shields unfolding in the enemy team, the ** Banshee at the altitude of 100 meters was also shocked: "Two spellcasters!"
But the order she received did not allow her to retreat, so she had to summon 20 ghosts to her side and move them to the top of the enemy's team. She kept shouting and circling without direct attack. The remaining 50 spirits lowered their height and scattered around the enemy and circled around them. From time to time, one or two rushed to a distance of two or three steps from the enemy shield guards and then suddenly raised the height to lure the enemy mage's attack.
The enemy mage is the biggest threat, but those mortal weapons and shields with only brute force are also filled with a disgusting energy aura. Be careful not to hurt your core.
For a moment, both sides fell into an embarrassing situation where no one dared to attack easily.
Marquis Algputek was experienced and said in a deep voice: "You can't be dragged until dark by them!"
Kasas and Li Xun nodded, raised their hands tacitly, and two magic missiles hit a spirit that had just rushed to the front. After a shrill scream, the spirit turned into powder and sprinkled on the ground.
Since the battle began, both sides abandoned their unnecessary concerns and began to use their own means.
With the banshee's scream, the ghosts in the air began to rush down, and the spirits wandering around also rushed up. Facing the mage and the knights who had applied special potions, it was not very meaningful to transform into virtual bodies to avoid physical damage. So, except for some spirit ghosts who turned into virtual bodies and drilled into the ground, other spirit bodies rushed like a charge knight. Anyway, as long as the malice in the core is not damaged, the spirit bodies can get enough energy from the air to recover themselves after a while. They have always been a good player in a protracted war.
For ghosts and spirit binding, about 2-3 magic missiles can be eliminated, but one magic missile with a broken body is enough. Therefore, the task of damaging the spirit body is handed over to the knights on the periphery. Kasas and Li Xun began serious work on the final work. Any spirit bodies that were damaged and planned to retreat to the rear to recover would not escape the magic attacks of the two. In order to save magic power, magic missiles were mainly used.
For a moment, 7-8 ghosts of the bound ghost died in the hands of the two, and the knights covered each other, except for some scratches and some physical strength, there was no substantial damage. Such asymmetrical battle loss made the banshee in the air very angry. Her originally fair and beautiful face began to twist, and her eyes also emitted a dazzling red light, with a harsh scream, and rushed straight to the two mages.
Before the person arrived, a harsh scream enveloped the team below. The knights could not maintain their bodies for a while. Those with high mental power could barely resist the impact from the soul and continue to maintain the defense line. Those with poor mental power could no longer help but throw down their weapons and cover their ears and wail.
Seeing that many loopholes appeared in the defense line below, the ghosts in the sky quickly followed the banshee and swooped down together. Seeing that the situation was a bit dangerous, Kasas risked the possibility of magic backlash and quickly cast a spell. An ice storm quickly formed above his head, and an ice snatched the diving ghost. Li Xun locked the banshee and sent a flame ball to block its approach.
The ** Banshee, who had just dived under the ice storm, was covered with ice particles and was greatly reduced in speed. Seeing the huge red and white fireballs coming towards me, they had no choice but to rush into the fireball with both hands. With a loud "boom" sound, the fireball exploded, and the Banshee's harsh scream changed to a more unpleasant shrill scream.
The banshee who rushed out of the fireball was completely black, and the burning magic flames were still stinging through the soul, but the red eyes were even more so just now, and it felt like it turned into a flame and burned. The banshee took a breath, and a large amount of negative energy gushed out, quickly rushing off the magic flames on her body, and healing her injuries.
The red eyes stared at Li Xun. The two mages were both hateful, but this young one was obviously more delicious. The banshee pounced down with a grin and returned to the intact fingernails, and they clamped Li Xun's chest together like an awl.
Marquis Alge Putech, who had been guarding all the time, had a sharp light flashed in his eyes, and he stepped forward and jumped up, and passed by the banshee, slashing his shoulder with a sword. Lord Marquis had been accumulating momentum for a long time. From the start to the sword, the light of his body kept flashing. In a short moment, he used magic items to bless himself with the power of the barbarian bull, four blessing spells of cat elegance, aerospace technique, and a magic weapon. Therefore, this sword was cut in real and solid. The banshee let out a shrill scream that shocked the audience, and flashed through the strong burning ray added by Li Xun at the fastest speed, avoiding the jumping attack of the two knights, rushed out of the battle circle like wind and climbed to a height of 100 meters and never dared to participate in the attack again.
The sword just now almost hit its core, but the main reason was that the Marquis had no magical sensitivity and could not find its core. Then he slashed on the most convenient shoulder and almost split it in half. The banshee who climbed up to the sky almost exhausted all the negative energy he had stored before he could barely heal himself. Looking at the human team below that they cooperated with the tacit understanding, gritted their teeth for a long time but couldn't think of a way to quickly capture the knight's defense line.
At this time, the knights who had escaped the simplified version of the Banshee's Howling almost suffered casualties. The ones who almost brought casualties to the knights were the bound spirits who turned into virtual bodies and drilled into the ground. They appeared and disappeared insidiously, using the earth to hide their bodies, rushed out from time to time and walked through a certain knight and took away a lot of physical strength. In conjunction with the physical attack of the physical spirits on the ground, a joint attack could often make a knight's blood splash everywhere.
Li Xun shouted loudly, "Let me do it!" and no longer attacked the spirits on the periphery, but instead turned on the soul vision to focus on preventing the spirits wandering underground. Whenever a spirit of bondage cooperated with the ground attack and rushed out from the ground to enter the knight's body, Li Xun used the time difference, threw a necrotic detent technique on it, and another magic missile broke its core. After killing 5 spirits in a row, the three remaining spirits of bondage underground dared to show their heads and hid from afar.
The Ranger and the Wanderer, who acted as the wizard guard, also figured out how to cooperate. The Wanderer was responsible for applying the potion to the bow and arrow. The Ranger played the archer and shot randomly at the spirits flying in the sky, and he actually shot one ghost and two spirits and bound spirits to death.
The ** Banshee in the air pressure array has no choice but to do anything. After all, its team is full of spirits and does not attack long-rangely, and mainly contact attacks. It usually relies on virtual bodies to avoid physical attacks and absorb negative energy in the air to self-heal. But today, when we encounter this human team that was prepared, we are completely helpless. While hesitating, our team has lost more than half, but the enemy has not reduced one. How can we explain this kind of battle loss to Lord Halias when we go back! We originally wanted to wait for a while, and wait for the mage's magic power to exhaust and attack with one blow, but look at the battlefield below. An hour has passed, and the magic missiles of the two mages are still still frequent. The ghost team he brought has only 8 ghosts and 16 spirits flying in the air.
**The Banshee looked at the beginning of the day and then ordered her to call back all her subordinates. She stopped attacking and just hung from afar, waiting for the night to make plans.
Only when the ghosts retreated were all gone, the Principal Mission had the opportunity to rest. Most of the mana of Kasas and Li Xun had been exhausted. Although they had not suffered much damage, their long-term high concentration also made them exhausted and they just wanted to lie down and have a good rest. The knights were on the front line, and they were basically injured. Fortunately, they were just scratches, but the physical loss was serious. If they did not get the chance to recover, it would be difficult to travel long distances.
