My Magic Age

In the quiet valley, there is no sound of birds or insects, as if this is a silent world.

Above the sky, the gray clouds are like a bunch of dirty wool that has just been cut and soaked in a pool. Water will flow out if you squeeze it with your hands. The air is humid, and the entire Black Forest is also humid. The soil in the grass also contains a lot of water. If you step on it, there will be traces of water stains on your boots.

The stone wall is covered with light purple moss, and the moss blooms with small yellow flowers. The goblins in the underground caves of Xinliu Valley like to eat this kind of moss pancakes.

The slope of the valley is covered with light green alfalfa, making the entire slope look like a thick green blanket.

This team of heavy-armored infantry, numbering about 200 people, walked out of the plank road and began to send out scouts to explore the way. The exit of the plank road was in the valley. When they walked out of the plank road, they did not realize that there was a team of spider warriors lurking in the dense forest on the slope beside them. However, it was obvious that these spider warriors were very patient and they did not rush out.

Several scouts ran out of the camp first. They carried hunting bows, long swords on their waists, wore leather armor, and stepped on light leather boots. They patrolled in different directions like casting a net. These scouts crouched and ran very fast, looking very alert.

I was a little looking forward to those alert scouts being able to find clues before entering the dense forest. I wanted to see how they would respond.

But it was exactly the opposite of what I expected. The scout with a hunting bow looked normal and walked into the dense forest with brisk steps.

Although I didn't see the scene in the dense forest, I guess that the scout of the heavy armored infantry regiment would never survive.

The heavy armored infantry regiment sent out scouts to investigate the enemy situation while preparing to make a fire and cook. They managed everything in an orderly manner. Some people stood guard, some made a fire and cooked, and some rested on the spot. Those long spears were neatly piled into a cone shape, and those square tower shields stood aside, like a thick wall.

Soon after, the soldiers of the heavy armored infantry regiment began to take turns to eat. When a person is full, his spirit will become relaxed and the whole person will appear very tired. At this time, he needs a short rest time.

It was at this time that the spider warriors suddenly emerged from the dense forest on the slope in an orderly manner. They lined up in a line at the edge of the dense forest. More than fifty spider warriors stood shoulder to shoulder, holding black iron spears in their hands, with the spears pointing directly at the heavy armored infantry regiment. The low hissing of the spider warriors was like a wave of sea tide.

The soldiers who were on guard not far from the camp did not even need to issue any warnings. The entire heavy-armored infantry regiment had clearly seen the spider warriors. They were like a group of barbarians riding black war elephants, rushing down the hillside with a roar.

"Attention, all regiments, there is an enemy attack, form a formation!" The herald shouted loudly, and perhaps because of nervousness, his voice was a little broken.

The soldiers hurriedly woke up from their completely relaxed state.

Each spider warrior was a powerful heavy-armored cavalryman, so in the valley, under the flat slope, this group of heavy-armored infantry regiments had no possibility of escaping. Their only choice was to form a formation and fight.

The infantry regiment seemed very chaotic at this moment. All the soldiers were looking for their weapons. However, they had probably practiced this defensive formation for a long time. Soon, a circular defensive formation had taken shape. The shield-sword warriors set up the tower shield at the outermost edge, like a wall, to protect everyone. In the innermost layer, there were some halberd warriors. They supported their halberds diagonally on the ground, and the sharp halberd tips tilted through the gaps between the shields.

In the innermost layer were the longbow archers. At this time, all of them, under the command of the captain, had already drawn their longbows and pointed their long armor-piercing arrows far into the air. This parabolic archery technique was the most challenging for the archers.

"All archers, get ready, shoot!"

The voice was firm and rhythmic. A rain of arrows shot from the army formation into the sky, and then drew beautiful arcs, hitting the spider warriors head-on like raindrops.

The landing points of these armor-piercing arrows are somewhat predictable. The spider warriors rushing down the hillside will inevitably face this rain of arrows. If the spider warriors slow down and avoid this rain of arrows, then the rhythm of their charge will be completely interrupted.

…

"Beautiful shooting!"

I was on the mountain, taking in all of this, secretly admiring the captain of the longbow archers, and boasting unabashedly.

Kalancuo crouched behind the boulder beside me, snorted softly with a nasal tone, and put on a very disdainful look.

…

I thought that when these spider warriors faced this rain of arrows, the momentum of the charge would slow down, but I didn't expect that they lined up in a line, and in the hissing sound, they actually accelerated their speed and rushed towards the heavy armored infantry regiment.

Those long feather arrows shot at the spider warriors one after another, but unfortunately this kind of projectile had no accuracy at all. Although the arrows were very powerful, after the armor-piercing arrows pierced the spider warriors, they were bounced off the tough shells and fell to the ground. Only less than one or two tenths of the arrows pierced the thick insect armor of the spider warriors, but did not penetrate the flesh at all.

These armor-piercing arrows were not as sharp as imagined.

Or is it that the black armor on the spider warriors is too solid? I took a guilty look at the steel spears piled aside. I was a little worried whether they could successfully penetrate into the bodies of the spider warriors after being thrown out.

When I was thinking about it, the second wave of arrow rain arrived as expected.

This time, the distance did not need to be thrown. The armor-piercing arrows were shot directly. This time, the spiders had rushed to the infantry regiment 50 meters away. It only took a few breaths for these spider warriors to rush to the front of the army.

This wave of arrow rain was slightly better. Several spider warriors were shot by armor-piercing arrows. They were either pierced through the neck by armor-piercing arrows or shot into the joints. However, the few spider warriors who were shot did not stop at all, but maintained the charging formation and launched the first round of charge against the heavy armored infantry regiment...

...

Looking up at the spider warriors who were more than four meters tall, the heavy armored infantry regiment was completely suppressed in terms of momentum.

Someone in the shield warrior team shouted: "Abandon the sword, hold the shield with both hands, hold the shield with your shoulders, and hold it tightly!"

In fact, when these spider warriors rushed to the front of the army, all the soldiers of the heavy armored infantry regiment were completely stunned. They probably didn't expect that they would face such a huge monster.

Then, the black wave gently kissed the reef-like army formation on the shore. The moment the two armies came into contact, aroused a cry of surprise and killing.

When the black iron spear as thick as an arm pierced the tower shield as heavy as a door panel, the tower shield was like a crispy biscuit, and it was instantly shattered. The heavy armored warrior behind the door panel was pierced through the chest by a thick black iron spear before he even had time to draw the Crusader's sword at his waist. The four-meter-long black iron spear directly lifted the heavily armored warrior into the air.

The heavily armored sword and shield warrior opened his eyes wide, as if he was saying goodbye to the world. He turned his head to look at the gray sky, holding the black iron spear that pierced his chest tightly with both hands, and a blood mist spurted out of his mouth and nose. As the spider warrior's strong arm swung violently, the heavily armored warrior hit the big iron shield beside him hard, and fell to the ground with his limbs weak.

There were many long halberds inserted diagonally into the ground, and they also pierced into the chest of the spider warrior when the spider warrior broke into the army formation.

The sharp long halberd pierced the spider warrior through...

If this infantry regiment was facing the barbarians on the ice and snow tundra, then I would probably be relieved at this time. In any case, the barbarians who were pierced through the chest could not survive. After a charge, both sides would be injured and immediately start a close-range strangulation.

However, now the heavily armored infantry regiment is facing a group of spider warriors whose body structures are completely different from ours. All the organs of the spider warrior are not in his chest cavity, but are all hidden in his huge abdomen, which is thoroughly protected by eight spider legs.

Although the long spears that penetrated the body stabbed the spider warriors, it was not a fatal injury at all.

At this time, the spider warriors broke through the shield wall. The sharp spider legs were like steel knives full of thorns. When they stepped on the heavy-armored infantry, they could easily pierce their armor.

With inertia, the bodies weighing several tons could rush into the army without restraint. The spider warriors waved black iron spears and picked up the warriors who tried to resist. These spider warriors were like a group of hounds rushing into a flock of chickens.

…

I didn't expect that these spider warriors lined up in a line, resisted two waves of arrows, and rushed to the shield warriors wearing heavy armor without any effort.

Some directly pierced the tower shield in front of them with their spears and picked up the shield warriors hiding behind them. Some directly used eight spider legs as sharp as knives to trample the shield warriors to the ground. Some directly used their strong bodies and thick armor to crash into the army formation, and then began to kill.

The defeat of the heavy armored infantry regiment came so quickly. These two regiments were completely on a different level. As soon as they came into contact, the heavy armored infantry regiment was smashed to pieces.

I think the spider warriors fully utilized their tactical characteristics of group charge in group battles.

On the other hand, the heavy armored infantry regiment was in a hurry to fight, and many flexible tactics and some arrangements were not fully utilized, which led to the defeat of a charge.

…

The warriors of the heavy armored infantry regiment had lost their will to fight at this moment. The defeat first occurred in the shield warrior team. Some shield warriors who survived by chance saw the fierce spider warriors killing in the army formation, and their hearts completely collapsed. Then they decisively discarded the huge tower shield in their hands and turned to run to the back.

Then the halberd soldiers followed and saw the shield warriors were defeated, and they had no courage to fight again.

At this time, the longbow archers were still standing in two rows, shooting the third round of arrows.

But they didn't expect that the shield warriors and halberd warriors who were blocking the front of the formation would flee in panic to the back of the camp. The warriors running back and charging the archer formation immediately caused the longbow archers to give up the fight. They all ran back together, ready to rush into the dense forest in the distance, but it was obvious that the dense forest was a bit too far for them.

Broken limbs, blood, broken armor, and weapons discarded everywhere formed a sad and beautiful picture. Those ferocious spider warriors harvested lives on the battlefield like a meat grinder.

On the battlefield, only the three captains gathered some extremely tenacious fighters around them, and then used their lives to deal with those spider warriors. The defeated and fleeing fighters also completely dispersed.

…

It was our turn. We originally thought that those heavy armored infantry regiments could hold on for a while, and then we sent the orc squad to join the battle group and lead the spider warriors into our ambush circle little by little. Unexpectedly, the soldiers of those heavy armored infantry regiments were as fragile as paper under the iron cavalry of the spider warriors.

I stood up from the shelter, took out the sharp Shura Axe, looked at Qi Ge, and said to her: "Wait for me here!"

Qi Ge grabbed my sleeve with her backhand, frowned, bit her lip and asked me: "What do you want to do? We are just going to lure those spider warriors over, and you are not running fast. Didn't you say that you should concentrate on meditation and restore the magic power in your body?"

"My magic power has almost recovered!" I explained to Qi Ge.

Qi Ge kept silent and just stared at me silently. I couldn't stand her eyes, so I had to give up the idea of ​​leading the team to charge and sat down to meditate obediently.

...

In fact, what is missing in my body is not the magic element, but the thunder and lightning power that has been slowly accumulated in the 'Thunder Seed' that has been integrated into the shoulder blade. In recent days, I have frequently opened the Xinliu Valley portal, which has consumed a lot of thunder and lightning power in my body.

In the morning, when I sneaked into the mountain and opened the portal again, I had used up all the lightning power stored in the "Thunder Seed" of my shoulder blade. Now I don't know when I can open the portal again.

But at this critical moment, if we can't open the portal and encounter the ambush of the Spider Warrior, our last way out will be completely blocked by me.

Therefore, the top priority is to quickly recover some lightning power so that we can take shelter in the underground cave in an emergency.

However, the lightning element on the Yelo plane is very thin, and even when meditating, the progress of condensing the lightning element is very slow.

In the Black Forest of the Yelo plane, I have experienced several consecutive hard battles recently. Every time I use the ice wall formation, I almost use up the magic power in the magic vortex. This kind of extreme use of magic power in battle often stimulates the speed of the magic vortex. I recently found that the capacity of the magic pool in my body is constantly growing rapidly.

Last night, when I was meditating again, I found that the growth of the magic pool in my body seemed to have reached a critical point again, and there were vague signs of advancement.

With a powerful wind magician like Qi Ge in the team, they can naturally enjoy some wind-enhanced magic, so those orcs were blessed with the "light body technique", and each of them became as light as a swallow.

Kalancuo led ten orc warriors carrying military crossbows from the mountain and ran down quickly. They all jumped back and forth between the boulders very lightly...
