I’m Really Not Targeting the Mages

dusk.

Far mountain passes.

Down a gentle hillside.

The members of the crusade team gathered here, quietly waiting for the battle to come.

Despite two days of trekking, the faces of the adventurers in both the main group and the support group were tired.

But this does not affect their determination to kill Shi Luo Yao!

Taking advantage of the fact that the skeleton soldiers climbed the mountain very slowly, they finally arrived at this lower mountain area by taking a shortcut under the leadership of the scout team.

This is the westernmost end of the southern mine.

Going further to the west is the "Burial Ground" where ghosts and monsters are rampant, and the "Dragon Slaying Mountain Range" where monsters are overgrown.

That's a place where adventurers in the second ring would stay away.

"A preliminary estimate shows that the number of skeleton soldiers is around 150, and the number of ghost guards is 17."

"According to the plan mentioned before, the people in the support team are responsible for restraining some skeleton soldiers, but don't get close to the ghost guards! These monsters are handled by the people in the main team, understand?"

"The task of dividing the battlefield is left to Brother Hawken. Don't save the scroll. Compared with the success or failure of the matter, the scroll is not worth mentioning at all..."

"After the Hawken brothers take action, we will execute the beheading plan. Roger, me, and Uncle Terry—we will deal with the Sheluo demon and the bodyguard who seems to be a stitch monster beside him as quickly as possible."

"As long as the corpse demon is dead, the skeleton army has nothing to fear!"

...

Dorothy was still reconfirming the battle plan with the members of the crusade team.

Although it was the third time within an hour, no one showed any signs of impatience.

If you want to survive in this land, it is not enough to rely on rigor——

It must be rigorous and rigorous!

Roger wasn't letting up either.

He was seriously smearing holy water on the arrowhead of the White Feather Arrow.

This time the beheading operation against the Sheluo demon, his position is to support.

He was mainly responsible for long-range fire cover, clearing the way for Dorothy and Terry, who were in charge of the assault.

It's not a difficult task for him.

In theory.

With Dorothy and Terry, two second-ring adventurers teaming up, the success rate of attacking and killing Shi Luo Yao is very high.

But Roger is very clear that there is often a big gap between theory and reality.

He has to be ready for everything.

Accidents can happen.

And more than one.

He couldn't help but glanced at the dark clouds in the sky again.

...

"coming!"

The scout group sends out a signal.

Everyone adjusted their breathing and took their positions excitedly.

Because of the existence of the ghost guards, a surprise attack that is too concealed is doomed to fail.

Roger climbed to the top of the mountain, and locked the ghost guards in the vanguard with the qi technique.

He was silently calculating the enemy's detection distance.

In a narrow pass.

The figure of the skeleton soldier became clearer and clearer.

"It's now!"

Roger cried over his shoulder.

Holding a sword in her right hand and a small buckler in her left hand, Dorothy ordered hoarsely:

"Do it!"

The girl in the maroon leather armor took the lead in the charge, filled with anger over the loss of her brother.

The rest followed suit.

...

Roger was not impulsive.

He methodically descended from the high place, and slowly approached the enemy along the mountain.

The surprise attack of the crusade group seemed to be completely unexpected by the Sheluo demon.

Facing the attack of the adventurers, the skeleton soldiers had no idea how to respond.

The inside of the skeleton soldier phalanx was in chaos.

call!

call!

Two consecutive thick walls of fire rose from the phalanx, successfully dividing the enemy into two pieces.

This is why I chose to do it here——

The terrain in the pass is narrow, and two firewalls are enough to complete the task of cutting the enemy's formation.

Roger glanced back.

Brother Hawken's expression was very excited.

They are one of the few mage apprentices in Tongma Town, and the only spells they master are "Rapid Fire Ball" and "Mage Hand".

For second-level spells like "Fire Wall", they must rely on the power of the spell guide scroll to cast them.

The value of each spell guide scroll is above 200 copper tokens.

Fortunately, these scrolls were all provided by the Lord's Mansion, otherwise, after this battle, they would definitely go bankrupt.

...

Under the cover of the wall of fire, the adventurers quickly wiped out the skeleton soldiers guarding the suture monster.

Occasionally, powerful monsters obstructed it, but they were also sent away by Roger's unexpected arrows.

It didn't take long for Dorothy and Terry to kill the Stitch Monster successfully.

They had a fierce fight with the Stitch Monster.

This monster has a very tenacious vitality, and ordinary weapons have no effect on it.

Fortunately, there is holy water.

Relying on the restraint of the holy water against undead creatures, Dorothy finally succeeded in piercing the Stitcher's heart with a single sword.

bang.

The bloated monster collapsed, incapacitated.

Its body is still twitching, showing its amazing vitality.

"Where's the corpse demon?"

After knocking down the Stitch, Dorothy looked around nervously.

Whoosh!

In the confusion, a white feather arrow pointed the way for her.

Not far away, the crippled skeleton soldier made an evil buzzing sound after being hit by several arrows.

It seems to want to run away.

Dorothy's eyes turned red instantly.

She threw away the small round shield in her hand, grabbed the blade with her left hand, and wiped it lightly, blood flowed out immediately.

The anger in her eyes seemed to condense into substance, and she said short phrases in her mouth.

On the edge of the sword, the blood flowed upstream, condensing into a crystal clear edge of the sword.

The fluorescent throbbing at the tip of the sword is weird and unpredictable.

"Go to hell, monster!"

Dorothy rushed over, chopping and stabbing the long sword in her hand, directly cutting the lame skeleton soldier into pieces.

But soon, she realized something was wrong.

"No! It's not a shelob."

Dorothy knelt down, felt among the crumbs, and presently pulled out a scrap of parchment.

The parchment has faint lavender veins.

""Stand-in magic pattern"? "

Terry next to him gritted his teeth and looked around in surprise:

"How does the Shiluo demon know the secret technique of the magic pattern school?"

No one could answer his doubts.

The previously weak skeleton soldiers suddenly became fierce and launched a powerful counterattack against the adventurers who broke into the formation!

"whee……"

At this moment, a scary voice came from all directions:

"The subjugation team in Tongma Town? Heh! What a childish joke."

"Do you mind letting my subordinates play with you?"

The voice fell.

There was a rumbling sound from under the earth.

On the east side of the pass, a dark tunnel exit appeared.

Deep in the tunnel, an unknown creature roared angrily.

Immediately afterwards, a large number of skeleton soldiers emerged from the tunnel!

These skeleton soldiers looked densely packed.

In terms of quantity, there are more than these in the valley!

"Damn it, it fell into the trap."

Terry's face was ugly.

But he still tried his best to gather the members of the crusade in the chaos.

...

"It's right, it's right!"

Roger on the hillside showed joy instead.

In his opinion, if Shi Luo Yao is really so easy to kill, something is really wrong.

After all, he knows Kane's strength very well.

This monster, whether it is cunning or real strength, should far exceed the imagination of everyone in the crusade team!

Now it seems.

"Stand-in Magicweave" is Sheluo Demon's first hole card.

I just don't know if there will be a second, third or even a fourth one!

Facing the menacing skeleton soldiers, the morale of the crusade team was somewhat low.

They don't even know where the shelob is hiding.

Just when everyone was a little helpless, Roger finally moved!

He took off his cloak and most of his equipment.

Then alone, he brazenly launched a charge against the army of skeleton soldiers with a number of more than 200!

…
