Chapter 21
As a senior criminal gang that has never been destroyed by countless PKs, the Orc Wolf Knights have great experience in small-scale village-level gang fights. Although the boss gave the order to attack, they did not yell "Onboard" and then charged without brainlessly. Instead, they drove a wolf and rushed by the defensive position of the merchant regiment, took off the short bow on their backs, and shot arrows at Gerald who was standing in front of the front.
As a senior criminal gang, the Orc Wolf Cavalry not only has superb riding and archery skills, but also has extremely rich combat experience. They have very accurate grasp of the attack distance and have not entered the area where Old Souths set up the traps. They launched an attack at the distance that the shooters in the merchant group could not effectively attack, achieving a unilateral attack.
Dozens of short bows shot together, and it also formed a rain of arrows, which looked scary. However, Gerald did not buy it at all. In addition to protecting his eyes with his left hand, he was too lazy to block it.
The orcs' archery skills were quite sharp. Most of the dozens of arrows hit the target. For a moment, Gerard was about to be shot into a large sieve, and everyone in the business group was so nervous that they were all in their throats.
However, I heard the crackling sounds like a collision between wood and stone, and the sound of sharp arrows hitting Gerald. Not only did he not get rid of the skin and blood, but he bounced gently and landed one after another, as if there was no effect at all.
Oh, it wasn't completely useless, Gerald muttered: "It's a little itchy..."
It's a little itchy, that's all.
Everyone was speechless. Sui Xiong felt that he had vaguely seen a pair of drooping wings dripping with black water rising above the orcs' heads, and also saw the system prompt of "The Orc Wolf Knights' morale was depressed".
Of course, it's just an illusion.
Archery was useless, which made the "Blood Hand" Ruer frowned slightly, but he didn't care much. He had experienced many battles and had encountered opponents with heavy armor more than once. So what if he was not afraid of bows and arrows, he had a way!
"Soter, burn the curse." He ordered in orc's words.
So the three orcs who had not participated in the charge before slowly approached the wolf, and after advancing for a short distance, they raised their right hand at the same time.
They all held short wands less than a foot long, made of monster bones, engraved with similar magic runes. At the top of each wand, there were similar red gems inlaid.
The wand was a little strange, and no one in the merchant group could recognize it. But when the red magic wave lingered on the wand, the young mage Palin finally recognized it.
"Brother White is careful! It's an extended range wand!"
The magic of this world is not as powerful as the magic works that Sui Xiong saw before time traveling. It is absolutely impossible to have a second to the world and the second to the earth. The biggest problem with magic here is the range, because it requires the mage's mental power to specify the target, so the range of most magic is only about twenty or thirty meters. Only if you don't need to specify the target, you only need ray-like spells in the specified direction to have a range far higher than this distance.
Of course twenty or thirty meters are not far enough that the caster relies heavily on the protection of the warrior in actual combat. Once the protection is lost, several high-level casters may even be named by a medium-level archer with sharp arrows one by one and become human targets.
...Of course, if a spellcaster fails to retreat quickly in the face of losing protection, and has to force himself to face the archer who restrains himself, this kind of IQ may not be able to grow up, and he would have killed himself during the spell research process.
In order to improve the problem of insufficient spell range, the "spell extension" technology was born. In order to popularize this technology that can increase the spell range by two to three times, the extended range wand was naturally born.
The only use of this expensive wand is to add an additional "spell extension" ability to the caster. Although the effect is single and brutal, it is a treasure that practical spell casters dream of. It is also known as the three treasures of warfare, along with the "armor robe" that solidifies the "magic armor" spell and the "rescue amulet" that solidifies the "error teleportation" spell, and is called the three treasures of warfare. It is a standard suit that any practical spell caster wants to get together.
Palin's ideal is to be a respected great adventurer, which means that as a spellcaster, he must embark on the actual combat path, so he is also very imagining about the three warcraft treasures. Although the extended-range wands used by the three orcs are of special style, which is very different from what he has seen in the magic item store, once they cast spells, the unconcealed extended-range effect was immediately recognized by him.
However, his reaction was still a little slower.
Hearing his reminder, Gerald was shocked and hurriedly was careful to be on guard. However, at this moment, the three orcs had completed the spell, and three red lights shot towards Gerald at the same time.
The firing rate of these three rays of light was not fast, and with Gerald's reaction speed, he definitely had time to dodge. However, he remembered that there were many innocent merchants behind him. Once he could dodge, those merchants who were just ordinary people would definitely die if they were hit by the spell. So he gave up this safest choice and tried to use the big tree in his hand to resist these three spells.
However, the three orcs had very tricky positions. Even though Gerald was very fast and the big tree was very large, he could only block two spells, and a red light shot on him.
The red light looked ordinary at first glance, but its power was very cruel. The big tree in Gerald's hand was lush and leaves were quite strong, but after being shot by two red lights, the green branches and leaves of the tree almost turned yellow in an instant, and even tiny sparks were ignited withered and two small flames burst out withered and small flames.
Even a big tree can't stand this spell, so what will happen to a person?
Ruhr smiled, as if he had seen the innocent and kind young giant burned into charcoal or the blood that instantly evaporated inside his body was furious.
He liked the scene the most, and he never got tired of watching it.
But this time he was disappointed. The powerful hot curse shot Gerald, and only a stream of blue smoke came out, burning a piece of skin where his left arm was hit, and failed to achieve more results.
"This spell is so vicious! It's actually high temperature inside and outside. Once you get hit, you will almost die if you don't have enough magic resistance... It's true that you are a professional robber, and you're killing move!" Sui Xiong was a little surprised. He never expected that a group of robbers who fought in the border areas had such powerful methods. "But don't worry, the magic core reserves in your body are very sufficient. This kind of head-on spell can be directly offset by magic power, and it's just a skin injury. With your physique, you can recover in a while."
Listening to Sui Xiong's words and looking at the big tree in his hand that was about to turn into a torch, Gerald was completely shocked. He knew that the body that His Majesty Oscar created for him was very powerful, but he did not expect it to be so powerful!
It would be fine if you can resist swords, but even such a powerful spell can resist?! Your physical strength is outstanding even in the monsters! Perhaps... even if you face a giant dragon, you can compete with it!
I am so lucky to have such a true god with great powers to protect me!
With a reliable trump card in his hand, he naturally became confident. Without saying a word, Gerald yelled, waved the big tree that was transforming towards the torch, and rushed towards the orcs.
His speed was faster than the galloping horse. In a blink of an eye, he rushed to an orc warlock. The big tree waved and smashed it in the head.
When the tree stick was smashed, a circle of white light rose on the orc sorcerer's body, which was the "magic armor" that claimed to be as protective as a chain mail. However, under Gerald's heavy blow, the spell did not work at all, and could not hold on for a moment. With a rumbling sound, the orc sorcerer and the wolf he was riding were smashed to pieces, becoming a fertilizer to nourish the grass.
Seeing this scene, Ruhr was so scared that his eyes were almost glaring out. His body reacted faster than his brain. He immediately turned the wolf's head and ran away in the distance. As soon as he saw the boss running, the members of the Orc Wolf Knight Group immediately roared, urging the wolf to flee in all directions, which made Gerald stunned and didn't know where to pursue it.
He is an old man, but he is not the kind of clever man. He only knew how to listen to the captain in the adventure team. Later, he fled to Baiyezi Village to be the captain of the village protection team. He only knew how to be loyal and did not have any means to fight for power and profit. The reason why he left the impression of "crawling" on the old priest in the village was that his habit of loving disciples made him respected by the villagers, so the old man who liked to think about problems from the disadvantages was just wrong.
Faced with this situation where the enemy was fleeing from all directions when they were frustrated, Gerald was like seeing a nest of rabbits running around in all directions. He couldn't help but have a short circuit in his brain and couldn't react.
"Chasing the mage!" Sui Xiong hurriedly ordered. In his opinion, the most dangerous among these orc robbers was the three spellcasters. As long as they were killed, the threat of these robbers would greatly decrease.
Gerald immediately obeyed the order, stepped hard under his feet, and rushed out with the sound of the wind. He soon caught up with an orc warlock running wildly in a wolf, swung the giant tree stick that had turned into a torch, and smashed it down again.
Boom!
There was another pile of messy fertilizer on the ground.
At this time, the third orc warlock had seized the opportunity to cast the spell. A ball of green energy wrapped around the limbs of the wolf. So the wolf, which was already running fast, galloped like a wind under his feet. The speed was so fast that even Gerald was dumbfounded. He tried hard to catch up, but found that the distance was getting farther and farther, so he had to give up.
"Your Majesty, I'm very sorry, I failed to complete the task... Please punish me!"
"Forget it, it's good to kill two of them three." Sui Xiong didn't care. "Anyway, the mountains are high and the rivers are long, and there will always be times when they meet them again. They can escape for a while, but they can't escape for a lifetime. One day they will be punished with evil."
"Before that, you'd better go and have dinner first."
Gerald sighed, distressed by his incompetence, threw the big tree that had become a torch on the ground, stomped on the flames with his feet, and returned to the mercenary camp with dejected head.
When the merchant group saw that the hero who returned from winning was so frustrated, they had to ask what was going on. They found out that he was regretful to fail to wipe out the three orc warlocks, and couldn't help but feel a lot of emotion.
The Orc Wolf Knights are famous for their reputation. When they meet, they think about how to escape, but the real strong man is completely the opposite. They think about how to wipe out them all.
The difference between the two places on this day is like a brass rookie who witnesses the competition of professional masters with his own eyes. In addition to admiring, thousands of words can only be condensed into one sentence.
