Lord of War

The cold wind was blowing, bringing a little chill to the land. However, the smell of blood in the air also made the slight coldness especially penetrating. It was almost a coldness of fear that reached the depths of the soul.

In the mountains and forests, there were several dead bodies lying here and there.

These corpses all have a common feature, that is, there is only one wound on the whole body, but this wound is deadly enough for these corpses before they were alive. This may be why these guys lying on the ground will become The main reason for the dead body.

A little farther away, the mountain began to slope down, forming a downhill road.

The two figures continued to move forward with the help of the shadows of the trees in the forest.

That's Sean and Cecilia.

After solving a diversionary harassment team earlier today, Xiao En and the others soon encountered a second hunting team. Compared with the first search and capture team, this second search and capture team is composed of pure soldiers, not a team of strong people-in fact, as far as the current Kingdom of Ryan is concerned, if you want to It is simply impossible to gather so many strong men.

It has only been six generations since the founding of Ryan, and even with the war that lasted a whole generation before the founding of the country, it will not exceed seven generations. So for Miracle Continent, Ryan Kingdom is a very young country. Her history has been shrouded in the huge shadow of the Millennium Covenant Empire for two whole generations, so she lacks enough nutrition to develop and grow. This is probably the real reason why this country lacks sufficient foundation.

It is precisely because of these various reasons that Ryan even annexed Dabion. It was also impossible to complete the digestion immediately and convert Dabion's remaining power into immediate combat power. Therefore, all kinds of stretched opinions displayed at this time have become a kind of helplessness, even if the real core member families of the aristocratic factions in Senai are contributing their efforts one after another. But they still lack enough powerhouses to use.

Of course, even if there are enough powerful people, they will not all be involved in this war that can almost be characterized as a civil war.

Except for the Finnstein family.

In this piece of territory belonging to the Finnstein family, they have already suffered extremely heavy losses. This loss has prompted them to win this victory desperately, otherwise all their efforts so far will be in vain—or, in other words, their consumption will never be compensated. Therefore, they finally began to invest more manpower and material resources recklessly like a red-eyed gambler in the choice of continuing to bet or taking losses alone.

Thirteen soldiers.

This figure is for wars that often cost tens of thousands or even tens of thousands. It's just a negligible loss. Even the corpses of the thirteen soldiers are far less valuable than any of the four low-ranking gold powerhouses that Sean had dealt with earlier, at least in this world where strength is paramount, any powerless For those superiors who hold real power. It's just a set of numbers and cannon fodder.

That's all.

But the death of these thirteen soldiers, for Xiao En, made him discover something more.

Extremely professional targeted planning and standards.

"We will become more troublesome next time." Walking downhill, Sean sighed helplessly. Then he spoke. "The opponent began to use the tactics of crowds of cannon fodder. Although these soldiers did not pose any threat to us,

They are not even troublesome, but their real value lies in the endless consumption of our physical strength, so that we cannot get enough rest time, and finally..."

"Because of the exhaustion of physical strength, I feel like a turtle in a jar." Cecilia took Sean's words, "So from now on, should we try our best to save physical strength?"

"It would be best not to fight." Sean sighed, "But I still have a special way to replenish my physical strength. I am more worried about you. ... If your magic power is exhausted, I am afraid it will be A very troublesome thing."

Hearing Sean's words, Cecilia fell silent.

As a magician. The aftereffects of running out of mana are very scary. If the consciousness can still be kept awake, then it is an extremely severe headache. In this case, few magicians can enter the meditative state, and if they cannot enter the meditative state, then the magic power cannot be recovered at all, and the spirit of the lost magic power cannot be recovered. The result of the recovery is a worse headache. The result of such a vicious circle is also the reason why many magicians go crazy after overloading their magic power.

"I still have two magic springs of sobriety and one potion of tranquility for the soul." Cecilia checked the small package she was carrying with her, and then said, "It's enough for first aid.  … ...Even if it was a fierce battle like last night, you can still do it again."

These potions were the spoils of war that were found in other palaces after the previous battle with Prince Cazes Hochdi. This kind of potion, which is very precious to magicians, is rarely used by magicians if it is not necessary, so Cecilia has always kept it. After all, for people in the Southern Continent, the profession of magician is still not as common as in the Northern Continent, at least it is considered more precious.

And Sean is also very clear about this.

"But after that, you will completely run out of magic power. Even with the soul tranquilizing potion, you need at least two hours of meditation to recover to the level of maintaining basic activities." Sean looked at Cecilia, who couldn't help but lowered In the end, they are very clear about each other's professional habits, so they can't hide anything from each other, "If it is not necessary, don't make a move, and I really need someone to help protect Xue Fani Oh, otherwise, if she is successfully attacked by someone, then all our efforts will be in vain."

"En." Cecilia nodded lightly, and said no more, but the strong desire for strength in her heart was no less than that of Sean at this time.

She has been stuck in the golden realm for a while, although this may be a natural moat that cannot be overcome in a lifetime for many strong people. But Cecilia herself knew very well that she was only half a step away from stepping into the sanctuary. Although magicians and warriors break through the limitations of sanctuary barriers, they are different routes to the same origin, but there are actually some differences. For example, fighters need to use battle energy to strengthen their bodies, while magicians need to use magic power to perform baptism.

Cecilia's magic power accumulation has reached a considerable level, but there is still a small gap from the baptism. It's just that the reason for this gap is not that she doesn't work hard, but that she hasn't had time to quiet down and practice since the beginning of the national war between Ryan and Dabion.

"I don't know what happened to the marshmallow." Cecilia said softly.

"That little guy is much smarter than you imagined. In the chaotic situation at that time, he went with Black Stone. With Reina and the others, that beast will be fine." Sean lightly smiled and comforted Seth. Celia. "But that guy has been so useless. It just so happens that I extorted a lot of things from the Chamber of Commerce Alliance this time. I will feed it after I go back. According to its mother, it should be able to complete an evolution. I feel more at ease when I have it with you all the time."

"You want to leave?" Cecilia keenly noticed the subtext of Sean's words.

"There are a few things that need to be taken out of time." Sean smiled, "But by then. Maybe the magic network covering the entire continent has been constructed. So it should be a lot easier.... But these things Let's talk about it at that time, now, let's think of a way to solve the current problem."

"I don't think they will let us go so easily." Since Sean didn't want to ask these questions, Cecilia wisely didn't ask them, "The longer we stay on this mountain, the more we will be treated. Unfavorable, because our space for movement will become smaller and smaller... and all their soldiers have been equipped with magic warning devices, so once our traces are exposed, then the enemy will also know our movement path."

"Magic warning device?" Sean froze for a moment, "What is that?"

"A simple magic prop. Because the production process is simple, it can be produced and invested in large quantities. It is a simplified version of a magic communication device, but it can only send alarms at fixed points, and cannot communicate in real time." Cecilia explained. "This kind of thing is usually deployed by the troops responsible for border defense. Before, because of the financial problems of our territory, we tended to improve and strengthen the militarized forces, and there was no extra funds to equip them. These, of course, William and Neil also think that they are unnecessary."

"In other words, the fact that we killed this patrol has been exposed?"

"I felt a slight trace of magic power fluctuations before, which probably exposed the location." Cecilia said, "That's why I urged you to leave quickly."

"Why didn't you tell me earlier." Sean said helplessly.

"I told you, but you completely ignored me at that time." Cecilia looked at Sean with a more helpless expression than Sean.

"Uh..." Sean thought for a while, the situation at that time really made him a little anxious, so that he had no time to hear what Cecilia was saying, "Then how fast is the message transmission of this warning device? "

It's just that before Sean finished speaking and waited for Cecilia to reply, he stopped going down the mountain, and placed his left hand horizontally in front of Cecilia, preventing her from continuing to move forward.

"Okay, now I know how fast the message transmission time of this kind of thing is." Sean sighed, "I really don't like something, but what happens....You guys, since you are in charge Blocking the way, then don't hide, do you think I will be fooled by such an obvious trap?"

There was a silence.

After waiting for a few seconds, Sean sighed helplessly, then turned his head to look at Cecilia: "Do you mind a forest fire?"

"I don't mind at all." Cecilia smiled slightly. When she stretched out her left hand, a dark red flame burst out from the palm. I was surprised. Perhaps it was because of Xiao En's surprise that Cecilia smiled and explained: "The flames that condense eighteen layers of flames, let alone forest fires, are more than enough to burn this mountain."

As soon as Cecilia's words fell, a sharp whistling sound suddenly sounded.

But faster than this sound, a black light swept an arc in the air, knocking down an arrow.

It was the afterimage of the sword light formed by Xiao En's rapid swing of the sword.

"I really can't figure it out..."

A red radiance passed by Xiao En's side, leaving faint sparks in the air.

"...Why are there so many..."

The red glow fell into the place where the arrow came from.

"The sneak attacker of..."

The violent roaring and blasting sounded at the moment Honghui fell into the bushes.

"...I always feel like using a bow and arrow..."

The raging flames that soared into the sky instantly burned from the bushes, and sprayed out towards the surroundings in the form of splashes.

"...the goal will definitely be solved."

Xiao En, holding the Black King, finally finished what he wanted to say at this moment.

However, a large area around has been completely engulfed in a sea of ​​flames. Judging by this kind of magical power, no matter who the person who was hiding in the bushes just now is, even if he has the strength of a low-ranking gold, this will be extremely difficult. It must have been buried in this sea of ​​flames. This is not to say that the opponent's speed is not good, but even if his reaction is fast, even if he escapes immediately after shooting the arrow, it is completely useless.

Because the burning and blasting range of Cecilia's fire bomb has gone far beyond Sean's imagination—even someone with rich combat experience like Sean can't imagine the impact of this fire bomb. The range, with the imagination of those idiot warriors of the Ryan nobles, it is naturally impossible to figure out how big the range is.

Sean swallowed, then turned his head to look at Cecilia, and said softly, "New magic?"

"After awakening the power of blood recently, a lot of things suddenly appeared in my mind." Cecilia stuck out her tongue, obviously a little confused about the situation, "Deep in my memory, Solomon burst into flames Its power should not be so great... To be precise, it should be only one-fifth of the current power, because this is only a fourth-level magic, or a magic close to the quasi-level five."

"Awakening blood, especially the quasi-level five magic power that has a significant bonus effect on your fire magic power, and the standard quasi-level five magic power of ordinary magician guilds, but there is a world of difference." Sean With a headache on his face, he said, "And you also mixed in eighteenth-level flames... You should know that that thing is equivalent to the power of standard nine-level magic. ... This Solomon Explosion Flame is in your hand, which is almost as powerful as standard seven-level magic." The power of magic."

"A little higher..." Cecilia stretched out the index finger and thumb of her right hand, and gently gestured to draw a small space.

It's just this small space, in Sean's opinion, it's not as simple as "a little bit".

"I think we should leave immediately. If there is such a big commotion, everyone will definitely rush here." Sean sighed helplessly. An interception team composed of strong people. Otherwise, we will become very troublesome."

Following Sean and quickly running towards the foot of the mountain, Cecilia waved her hand at the same time, speeding up the spread and burning range of the sea of ​​fire. It's just that in this somewhat flustered situation, Cecilia suddenly smiled cheerfully.

"What laughing."

"I just suddenly remembered that several years ago, the first time I went to a small village with you to solve the undead riots, I seemed to have made a lot of noise like this." Cecilia said with a smile on her face. , "Suddenly I miss that time."

"Several years ago." Sean also chuckled with nostalgia suddenly, "At that time, you had no actual combat experience, and you were scared to run around when you were dealing with those walking corpses. When I was dealing with that black warrior, I was also in a hurry... But, I do miss those days." "To be continued.
