My Magic Age

Chapter 214 14. Jingyue in desperate situation

When the flying spear pierces the water, it will gradually slow down with a series of bubbles, and then sink to the bottom of the lake at a uniform speed.

When I was in Xinghu Grassland, my water quality was excellent. At that time, the ice surface of the lake had not completely melted, so Kuz took me to swim in Xinghu Lake. He always liked to sit on a huge ice floe with me. Chatting, orcs are very unique when swimming. They like to swim The hands are naturally placed on both sides of the body, and they are constantly swinging to move the water like fish fins. The legs will be very powerful to constantly move the water, and can also change the direction of swimming. The lung capacity of the orcs is very high, they can almost You can easily lurk in the water for a quarter of an hour.

Aziz once told me that when escaping, if the pursuers behind you are spear throwers and archers, then the first thing to do after jumping into the lake as a last resort is to take a big breath and dive in as hard as you can. Under water, when diving at this time, the body and the flying spears and arrows chasing after you tend to be parallel and have no angle, so it is difficult to be stabbed by the flying spears.

Unexpectedly, when I was in such adversity, Az's words allowed me to escape. I was like a fish in the clear lake water. The roars of those barbarians were getting farther and farther away, and I was getting closer and closer to the lake shore. the further away.

I lay relaxed in the warm lake water. It seemed that I could easily float on the lake without stepping on it. It was like lying on a big bed, looking up at the blue sky. Wave after wave of waves on the lake washed my body. It was blowing like a sway.

For two consecutive days, I spent my time under a state of mental stress. It was rare for me to relax my body at this time. I was just waiting to slowly float to the other side with the undercurrent of the lake, and find the right time to return to Egypt. Ercheng is what I want to do most.

On the shore of the lake not far away, the human warriors were still struggling to resist. It could be seen that the encirclement and suppression battle would last for a long time. Those light cavalry warriors had very good physical fitness, and even if they were in desperate situations, These barbarians also failed to destroy their will to fight, and they shouted to kill one after another.

There were several fires burning on the battlefield, and they were all big craters blown up by fireballs of fire magic. A human magician stood at the center of the light cavalry team. I could vaguely see the black magic robe and gray hair on his body. hair. Next to the magician stood a female knight wearing silver armor and a rapier. The long cherry-red feathers on the top of her helmet made her extremely eye-catching in the military formation.

The wind began to rise on the lake, dark clouds gathered in the sky, and the waves on the lake became increasingly unstable.

A small boat quietly paddled into the water from near the shoreline of the human camp lake. The pointed boat quickly broke through the waves on the water and headed towards the center of the lake. The two young blond warriors had already taken off their metal armor. , only wearing a close-fitting sheepskin undershirt, waving a makeshift oar made of wooden boards vigorously, the small boat rode the wind and waves, and even rushed through rows of waves, just like flying fish jumping on the waves.

In the barbarian camp on the shore, someone spotted the small boat for the first time. A large number of barbarian spear throwers began to gather on the shore of the lake. One spear thrower held a short spear and retreated seven or eight steps away. After running in small steps, Using inertia, he threw the short spear violently. The flying spear drew a graceful arc in the air and flew towards the small boat that was quickly leaving the shore.

Unfortunately, the flying spear finally fell into the lake due to exhaustion and could not even touch the tail of the boat.

The other barbarians shook their heads and sighed after seeing this, but they had all given up the plan of throwing flying spears. It was obvious that their spear throwing skills were all about the same. What the young barbarian warrior could not do, the other barbarians could not do it either. Knowing that they could not do it, they were very afraid of the lake. The water, or even stepping half a foot into the lake, would scare them into panic. The two warriors on the boat breathed a sigh of relief when they saw that the barbarian spear throwers could not threaten the two of them. But the oar never stopped for a moment, rowing hard towards the center of the lake.

At this moment, the spear throwers in the barbarian army suddenly dispersed to both sides. A barbarian warrior who was almost four meters tall, wearing half armor and a huge bone shield tied to his left arm, was very arrogant. Pushing aside the barbarians blocking his way, he stood by the lake and stared coldly at the small boat sailing towards the center of the lake. He looked up to the sky and yelled angrily: "Ooh, Ellatri, Sarai hula! "

I couldn't understand what he was saying, it was probably a prayer. At this time, he pulled out a spear that had become obviously thicker from his back and held it in his hand. He pointed a high finger at the sky. Not far away, two barbarians held their hands together and squatted down with their knees slightly bent. , just waiting for the tall barbarian warrior to take a gentle approach, one step, two steps, three steps, each step leaving a deep footprint on the ground. He ran faster and faster, and finally ran to the side of the two barbarians. With their feet on their hands, the two barbarian warriors shouted: "Drink!"

The barbarian warrior holding a spear was suddenly lifted into the sky. He flew high like a cannonball, jumping dozens of meters high with a spear. It's like a god descending to earth. When the barbarian warrior reached the highest point, he raised the spear high in the air and threw it fiercely at the small boat rowing to the center of the lake in the distance.

The spear rushed forward almost straight, so fast that it almost cut through the air and produced the sound of air explosion.

Obviously, the two knights on the small boat immediately discovered the barbarian in the sky, and saw the spear shooting towards them. Without any hesitation, they crossed over to the sides of the small boat. , jumped into the lake, and almost at the same moment, the spear turned into a streak of white lightning and hit the boat. It seemed to explode, instantly smashing the wooden boat into pieces.

For a moment, it was as if "time had stopped" on the lakeshore, and everyone was stunned by this scene.

The small boat that the human race's light cavalry had placed high hopes on was actually sunk by the barbarian warrior with his spear, even when they were almost confident of successfully breaking through the siege of Ch'el City and bringing in reinforcements. Almost smashed to pieces.

The two young warriors emerged from the lake with pale faces. They watched with horror as the boat turned into splinters. They punched the water with their fists in annoyance, looked at each other, and said, "Let's go." Let’s return to the battlefield and fight to the death with these barbarians!”

The young companion next to him looked back at the smoke-filled battlefield with firm eyes, and said firmly: "Well, let's swim back!"

I was speechless as I looked at the two young warriors in the lake. The exquisite embroidery on their clothes and cuffs showed their superior families and their excellent qualities. They were well-educated warriors with chivalrous spirit. Look, As they struggled to throw away their arms and swam back to the battlefield, I suddenly wanted to know who the leader of their army was. Could it be the old-looking magician, or the one with the belt on his head? A female knight with bright feathers?

The undercurrent in the lake slowly took me away, making me farther and farther away from the battlefield on the lake shore.

...Beautiful dividing line...

Jingyue Aili stood on a huge rock in the middle of the military formation. From a distance of several hundred meters, she could clearly see the barbarian warriors in the opposite camp using "Thunder" to hit the small boat sent out to report the news. It shattered. The only thing that happened was that the two clever warriors jumped into the lake in advance to save their lives. If it had been a little slower at that moment, I am afraid that there would be two lumps of flesh and blood along with the small boat.

"Hey!" Magician Clement let out a faint sigh of regret. He sat silently next to Jingyue Aili, recovering his little remaining magic power. He looked up and saw that the rescue team sent by the guard group had folded again. After returning home, he could only sigh lightly. He knew what Jingyue Aili was thinking. The future first-in-line heir to the Aili family simply couldn't let go of the guard group she had formed with her own hands.

In the entire guard group, young aristocratic children account for more than half of the seats. Today, when aristocratic children are gradually declining in aristocratic families, the guard group can collect more than 2,000 outstanding aristocratic children, which is almost the entire Sloy. Most of the most promising young nobles in the city are gathered in the guard group. Once they become qualified in the guard regiment, they will become Jingyue Aili's staunchest supporters, and their family will also benefit a lot in Sloit Province.

This is the choice that the nobles of Sloit Province must make when the new and old dukes of the Elli family change.

"Clement, before nightfall, I want to make another effort! We will launch a final attack to the northwest with all our strength, hoping to penetrate the barbarian defense line there. This may be our last chance, you can still How many times have you cast a series of fireballs?" Jingyue Aili sat on a chair, her elbows only on the armrests of the chair, her right hand clenched into a fist and resting on her chin, looking at the battlefield not far away with a gloomy expression.

"Jingyue, I have made exceptions to help you twice. The last magic power is to be used when I take you to break out of the encirclement. Duke Wall has asked me to bring you back safely. I'm sorry, next I will It will be difficult to follow your orders and continue to help those young children. I'm sorry for that!" The old white-haired magician sat cross-legged on the mat woven from the Concentrating Grass, trying to enter a meditative state again.

My own guard regiment has been trapped here all day and night. Unfortunately, the reinforcements that were originally expected to arrive have not arrived. More than a thousand soldiers from the guard regiment have stayed on this land permanently. These are all The future elite of Sloit City, Jingyue Aili cannot afford to lose!

The news obtained in Sloit City: There are about 8,000 Celtic tribesmen hiding outside the city of El.

Jingyue Aili sneered and recalled the news that Dawang, the capable young man from the Intelligence Agency, had said a few days ago. Haha, are they really barbarians from the eight thousand Celtic tribes? If he hadn't responded in time and led the guard regiment to take a direct detour and break through the barbarians' defense line set up in the mountains on the outskirts of El City, now his guard regiment would probably be trapped in the Dayejin Valley, where There were tens of thousands of barbarians from Celtic tribes hiding there.

And now, the light cavalry regiment of the North Wind Legion, which should have arrived long ago, has once again disappeared. Jingyue Aili smells a strong smell of conspiracy. Someone must have made a series of plans against her. She has still been deceived at this time. In the drum. But so what if he could escape safely. The elite team he formed himself fell on the shore of Fish Lake. If the soldiers of these guard regiments were unfortunately killed in battle, it would mean that the aristocracy of Sloit City would be destroyed. There was a great upheaval.

It is very difficult to say whether he will get the support of those nobles again.

After the smoke of war, there was endless desolation. The flag of the guard regiment was stained with the blood of the soldiers. More than half of the Gubolai horses had lost their ability to fight. The continuous fighting had exhausted these young soldiers physically and mentally. Some of the guards who had been replaced were lying on the pebbles on the wet lake shore wearing heavy armor, snoring heavily with their mouths open. Those iris shields that had become uneven after being hit by huge weapons were scattered aside.

Jingyue walked over silently, her boots were covered with mud and water, and those soldiers in armor almost fell asleep while lying in the mud and water.

"We can't let them sleep too long. They will get sick if they lie in the mud. Let's cook some hot soup!" Jingyue Aili felt her cheeks were a little hot. She felt that some of the guards looked over and explored with hopeful eyes. She was like a child who had done something wrong, and didn't know how to face these soldiers.

But what else could she do? The day before yesterday, the night after the departure from Sloyt City, we suddenly received the news that El City was besieged by 8,000 barbarians. The soldiers of the guard regiment rushed over at the maximum speed. These days, relying on the mobility of the Gubolai horses, they have torn several holes in the barbarian defense line in the mountains.

But this time, there are quite a lot of barbarians gathered on the shore of Xinghu Lake, and they have accurately ambushed here, waiting for a long time. The battle was very difficult from the beginning. Those young barbarians are extremely powerful. Even if the warriors have superb fighting skills, they can't do anything to face the barbarians with great strength.

Jingyue Aili walked while thinking about how to replenish the soldiers' physical strength for this meal in the evening. The supplies brought out have long been used up. Now thousands of soldiers are starving and fighting at the same time. They should get some food. Jingyue Aili lowered her head and thought silently.

"Kill those injured horses!" Jingyue Aili lowered her head and made this decision with difficulty.

When he gave this order, the clerk beside him widened his eyes and said in disbelief: "Why? Commander, you want to kill the horse?"

"Do as I say, make some broth to share with the injured soldiers, there will be a tough battle tonight!" Jingyue Aili lifted her cloak and walked away, leaving the clerk with an embarrassed look.
