The wizard starts by trimming the donkey's hooves

Two huge dark grey eagles flew over from the distant sky. They were the Ironbeak Sea Eagles.

Since the vision of eagles is far superior to that of humans, and there is no dense forest to block the view, the traces of the Ice Claw Bear Mercenaries were soon discovered.

The two Ironbeak Sea Eagles immediately let out a loud cry, and then began to fly rapidly towards the Ice Claw Bear Mercenaries.

A few seconds later, they circled right above Ryan and the others.

"Swoosh! Swoosh!"

Five or six archers and rangers from the Ice Claw Bear Mercenaries, including Georgia, shot at the Ironbeak Sea Eagles.

Everyone had very good accuracy, but Ryan could clearly see that the arrows of several people were exhausted after being shot into the sky. They could barely touch the Ironbeak Sea Eagles, but were easily blown away by the opponent's wings.

Obviously, because the opponent was flying too high, the arrows could not continue.

Just when everyone was at a loss, Ryan walked to an archer, drew an arrow from his quiver, and cast his improved metal magic, 'Sharp Magic', on the metal arrowhead.

In order to avoid shocking the world, Ryan naturally controlled the speed of casting the spell, extending the casting time of about 0.04 seconds to about one and a half seconds.

"Hey, such a fast casting speed!" Georgia, who was also a second-level wizard apprentice, quickly sensed the witchcraft fluctuations on Ryan's side, her beautiful eyes widened, and she said in surprise.

When the archer took the arrow emitting silver light, he immediately showed surprise and gratitude, and said: "Thank you, Mr. Ryan."

He was so excited that he immediately drew his bow and aimed at an iron-beaked sea eagle. The next second, the silver light soared into the sky and instantly pierced through the abdomen of an iron-beaked sea eagle.

"Chiu~"

With a miserable eagle cry, the iron-beaked sea eagle that was shot by the arrow fell almost straight to the ground!

The other iron-beaked sea eagle was frightened and flew away quickly in the direction it came from.

But in less than two seconds, another silver stream of light flashed, and the second iron-beaked sea eagle followed suit and fell from the sky!

"Is this sharpness?"

"This effect seems too good!"

Georgia, a second-level wizard apprentice and archer, had her eyes wide open, and her mouth sucked in cold air, with a look of surprise and envy!

One minute ago.

More than ten miles away from the Ice Claw Bear Mercenary Group, two men in black wizard robes were chatting. Suddenly, one of them looked up at the iron-beaked sea eagle, smiled, and said:

"Hey, it seems that our baby has found prey again."

"Well, I wonder what it is this time?" The other man smiled.

"Is it not the empire's reconnaissance team, or those mercenary groups that are as annoying as cockroaches?"

"Let's go and take a look!"

But the next second, a shrill eagle cry came, and then the two saw from a distance that an iron-beaked sea eagle fell straight down.

"Oops! My eagle!" A Poseidon eagle rider's face changed drastically, because the one that was just shot down was his iron-beaked sea eagle.

"Not good! There's a sharpshooter!" Another person frowned and said.

He immediately planned to blow the whistle to recall the sea eagle.

But the next second, his face changed drastically, because his sea eagle was shot down just like his companion's!

You should know that it is not easy to train an iron-beaked sea eagle. Even under the more mature training system of the Poseidon cult, it takes nearly a year to train a qualified iron-beaked sea eagle.

"Fuck!"

"Quick, fire a flare to let all the nearby sea creatures come over!"

And Ryan was surrounded by the mercenary group.

"Sir Ryan, your sharpness is too good, right?!" The archer just now couldn't help but use the honorific 'you'.

"Hehe, maybe it's because I have a higher affinity for metal elements." Ryan smiled and explained.

The other people also showed envy to the archer, and at the same time, their expressions towards Ryan also changed completely.

Can the high affinity of metal elements be said so lightly?

Although most people are not wizard apprentices, let alone wizards, they have generally heard about elemental affinity!

In addition, who would not want to have such a powerful "assistant" by their side?

Immediately, except for Georgia, the other archers and rangers all approached Ryan warmly.

As the leader of the Ice Claw Bear Mercenary Group, Fandral was naturally ecstatic.

It seems that his vision is as good as always!

Judging from the sharpness technique just now, this Lord Ryan is quite powerful. Although he is only a third-level wizard apprentice, I am afraid that he is not much different from a formal wizard.

Suddenly, Fandral came to his senses, his face solemn, and shouted loudly: "Everyone, get on the horse quickly and leave here."

"Otherwise, these Sea God Cult eagle riders will surround us."

The Ice Claw Bear Mercenary Group of more than ten people first returned to the original route for a while, and after reaching the sparse woodland, they turned a corner and quickly moved towards the destination again.

"Hey, that. Sir Ryan, why is your sharpness so powerful?"

"Also, the casting time is also amazingly fast. How did you practice it?!" Curious Georgia couldn't help but finally shook the reins, controlled the horse forward, and asked Ryan.

"Huh? Don't call me a newcomer anymore?!" Ryan couldn't help but tease with a smile.

"You hum! Forget it!"

Ryan's words immediately made the girl's pretty face blush, and she seemed a little embarrassed. She snorted in a "high-handed" manner and left again.

Ryan looked at this scene and thought the two siblings were quite interesting.

The elder brother was calm, sophisticated, and experienced, but the younger sister was a bit domineering and lively. The two were quite different.

"Sir Ryan, is it convenient for you to tell me which wizard school you are from?" Fandral asked curiously.

"I came from Winterhold College." Ryan answered ambiguously.

Ryan was not willing to lie.

In addition, he did come from Winterhold College all the way to Howling Fjord.

"Liar! Everyone knows that Winterhold College is mainly composed of rare ice wizards." Georgia rolled her eyes at Ryan and interrupted.

"Oh? Lord Ryan is from Winterhold College? I have dealt with a vice-president there once, a middle-aged lady named Wei," Fandal said with a thoughtful look on his face.

"Are you talking about Vice-president Welty?"

"Yes, yes! It is Lord Welty. It seems that Lord Ryan is indeed from Winterhold College." Fandal nodded repeatedly, and his guard was basically put down.

If it is Batalov, the dean of Winterhold College, then most of the mercenaries in the Frost Tundra know this big man, but relatively speaking, this Vice-president Welty is much less famous.

If you are not very familiar with each other, you probably don't know each other.

"Are you really from Winterhold College? Why don't I believe it!" Georgia widened her beautiful eyes, looked at Ryan repeatedly, and muttered to herself.

Ryan glanced at Georgia, with a smile on his face, but he didn't mean to explain.

However, Ryan's attitude made Georgia angry.

"Captain, the thick-shelled lobster people are gathering in front." A ranger who was in charge of reconnaissance in front came back and said.

Ryan looked from a distance and saw a lot of huge giant lobsters walking upright in the swamp not far away.

As for people, they really have nothing to do with human appearance.

Even lobster people are more like coconut crabs with elongated waists.

The feet are four pairs of limbs, the waist carapace is about one meter upright, and above is the chest and a pair of giant claws, and the two matchstick eyes stand up, which looks quite smart.

"I wonder how this thing tastes when it's roasted?" This is the first thought that came to Ryan's mind after seeing the other party.

Originally, Ryan thought that the other party was some kind of combination of human and lobster, but he didn't expect it to be such a thing in front of him. If he eats it, he will probably not have any psychological burden at all.

"Sir Ryan, do you need to take a break? The thick shell of this thick-shelled lobster has a high defense. You may need to help me perform the 'Sharpness Technique'," Fandral said with a smile to Ryan.

At this time, everyone in the Ice Claw Bear Team showed an expression of sudden enlightenment!

No wonder their boss has always been polite to Ryan, and even a little deliberately catering to him.

Damn, with Sir Ryan's powerful 'Sharpness Technique', there is no need for a whetstone, and there is no need for people to wear expensive steel suits and tower shields in front.

Because it's all done by shooting directly!

I saw that everyone, including Georgia, looked at Ryan with an expression of looking at a treasure.

"Not necessary, Captain Fandral, let's start now?" Ryan smiled and nodded.

"That's great!" Fandral couldn't help but be overjoyed and said.

"Sir Ryan, can you show it to me first?" The archer who had just tasted the sweetness and shot down the iron-beaked sea eagle said immediately.

"Heb, Sir Ryan has already given you a chance, you have to let others try it too." Someone interrupted him immediately and said.

"Yes! Sir Ryan, give it to us too."

For a moment, everyone took arrows, and even the two tower shield warriors handed the knight's sword to Ryan at this moment, hoping that he could help with the sharpness.

After all, everyone was also worried that if Ryan's mental power was too much, it would not be his turn.

And Georgia also stretched out an arrow to Ryan, but she seemed a little embarrassed and kept her head down. Obviously, her body didn't want to give in so quickly, but she couldn't resist the eagerness in her heart.

The girl looked like a typical person who was honest in her mouth, and Ryan couldn't help but laugh at her.

"Don't worry, everyone has a chance. Don't worry, I still have enough mental strength to cast the sharp spell."

"I hope everyone will line up first and come in order." Ryan said with a smile.

In less than a few seconds, more than ten people lined up obediently, and Ryan quickly chanted the spell to cast the spell.

Since the sharp spell lasts for one minute, Fandral saw that three archers had cast the sharp spell, and immediately led them to attack the patrol team of thick-shelled lobsters.

"Swoosh!"

I saw an archer release the bowstring, and a silver stream of light penetrated directly from the hardest chest armor of a thick-shelled lobster, and then passed through the back armor.

One shot to kill!

As long as the crosshairs are correct, this thick-shelled lobster man can be killed with one arrow!

Easier than shooting a rabbit.

Three to four people in a group, repeating this cycle, soon, the Ice Claw Bear Mercenary Group caused great casualties to the thick-shelled lobsters in the camp in front of them.

Originally, the thick-shelled lobster warriors had no chance to use their thick-shelled defense and giant claws attack, and died under the arrows with the improved sharpness.

If it weren't for Ryan, who asked to take a short break after using the sharpness for more than 30 times, the thick-shelled lobsters in the camp would have been cleared out by the excited members of the Ice Claw Bear Mercenary Group.

——

At the same time.

In the Howling Fjord, in a cave at the bottom of the rime cliff.

The cave was particularly spacious, as if it had been excavated the day after tomorrow, forming a cave hall 20 to 30 meters high.

At this time, there were several braziers around the hall, and many Slippery Blade Nagas and more thick-shelled lobsters were on guard.

In the center of the hall, there were four large stone chairs, arranged in a semi-enclosed manner, and they were all full at the moment.

"Why has there been no news from the Black Flame Church these two days?" The black-robed man in the middle said in a deep voice.

"I don't know, Lord Havers, do you think we don't need to wait for them? At present, our personnel are almost all here, and we can launch a large-scale attack on the Empire."

"No, if that's the case, we will be the first to come out. The Empire is strong in the Wind Tundra. At that time, we will face most of the pressure from the Empire, and even counterattack."

"Haha, let these weak humans come!" A voice like thunder sounded.

The rock wall at the top of the cave even fell a lot of dust because of the huge sound waves.

The slightly weaker thick-shelled lobster guards on the side seemed to be unable to bear the sound. Their originally upright waists also bent down, and their two matchstick-like eyes also drooped and hid in their thick shells.

The owner of the voice was next to the black-robed man.

That is, in the middle right position, the wide stone chair could not accommodate the other party's nearly ten-meter-tall huge figure.

If Fandral was at the scene, he would be able to tell that the other party was a deep-sea giant, and he was much taller than the deep-sea giant he had seen last time.

You know, ordinary deep-sea giants are only six or seven meters tall, but the one in front of him is actually ten meters tall, with muscles all over his body, and a huge metal hammer with a barb in his hand.

But if you look closely, you will find that this is not a hammer?

It is clearly a heavy anchor of a ship, which has been roughly polished and turned into this hammer-like appearance.

"Commander Dunn, please be patient. We believe in your strength, but according to the order of His Holiness the Pope, we should be cautious."

Havers seemed to be afraid of this deep-sea giant commander, so he spoke mainly to comfort him and borrowed the title of the Pope of Poseidon.

"Hmph! You're wasting my precious time. You can discuss it slowly! I'm going to sleep first!" The giant Dune stood up with a loud noise. The string of shells and skulls hanging around his neck made a series of noises, and a strong sense of oppression spread.

I saw the deep-sea giant leader Dune, under the reflection of the brazier, the surface of his blue skin was actually fine fish scales. The only part of his body that was covered was his crotch, but that was just a bunch of seaweed.

At this time, a slithering naga slithered in quickly and reported:

"Report to the adults, the believer of the hunting god is here. He said his name is Diam and he is a chief priest."

"Please let him in."

At this time, the high priest of the slithering naga Ursula laughed like a silver bell, and she smiled and said, "It seems that the Black Flame Church is ready. Commander Dune, why don't you listen to it before going to rest?"

"Yes, Commander Dune, if I'm not wrong, the Black Flame Church should be here to notify us to act immediately." Havers also smiled.

"Okay, I hope so." Duen thought about it and sat back again, but the solid stone chair made an unbearable creaking sound.

At this time, two black-robed men with black flames on their sleeves walked in. They were Diam and his subordinates.

At this time, Diam had been promoted half a level and was considered a candidate for the high priest. He temporarily presided over the actions of the entire Black Flame Church in the Wind Tundra.

However, there was no smile on his face.

When he thought about the possibility of facing that "monster", Diam's heart was beating.

"Sir Havers, everyone, I am Diam of the Black Flame Church." Diam's eyes lit up when he saw the four high-level members of the Sea God Church in front of him, and he immediately felt that he had made the right decision to come to the Howling Fjord this time.

Except for the lobster elder on the far right, whose strength seemed to be not much different from his, the auras of the other three were all extremely powerful.

Even the black robe and the tall deep-sea giant in the middle seemed to be a little stronger than his former boss, the High Priest Ericson.

"Sir Diam, are you here to inform us that we can start the action?"

"Yes and no." Diam pretended to think.

"Hmm?"

Hearing this ambiguous answer, the eyes of several people immediately converged on Diam.

At this time, Diam began to narrate:

"Recently, our Black Flame Church has fought many battles with the Empire, and even the High Priest Ericson has fallen in the battle."

"What?!" Hearing this, Havers, who was always calm, also showed obvious shock in his eyes.

He had naturally met Ericson.

At the same time, he also knew that even if the opponent's strength was slightly weaker than his, it was only slightly weaker.

"Did the Empire send out a dragon knight? Or other guardians?" Ursula, the high priest of the Slippery Blade Naga, twisted her waist and asked hastily.

"Neither! The other party is a sword bearer." Diam shook his head and said.

"Sword bearer?" Hearing this answer, the people of the Sea God Church felt relieved.

After all, no matter how strong a sword bearer is, he is not a dragon knight after all. Even if he comes from the sword bearer headquarters in the imperial capital, he can still fight.

"Sir Diam, please tell me in detail about the strength of the sword bearer." Havers said in a deep voice.

"Of course." Diam began to tell in detail.

Ever since he saw Jian Ren transform into a dragon man and beat the ancestor dragon Coraxius, Diam, as an eyewitness on the scene, thought about reporting this important news to the high priest Ericson immediately.

But he didn't expect that when he hurried back to the base, he received bad news that the high priest Ericson and his group were almost wiped out at Longya Pass.

After that, as he investigated, Diam was even more shocked!

Because he suddenly discovered that the opponent and the one who blasted the Proto-Dragon Corasius were actually the same person, and the opponent's identity was not a member of the wizard school as he thought, but an imperial sword bearer.

This made Diam unable to sleep well for several days.

"Are you saying that this sword bearer named Ryan can transform, and after the transformation, his combat power is extremely strong and can fight against the Proto-Dragon?" The leader of the deep-sea giants, Dun, suddenly asked with great interest.

Dun's voice was so loud that Diam was startled.

But after he came to his senses, he nodded quickly and said, "Yes, I was there at the scene, and this Ryan even had a slight advantage."

"Interesting! Hahaha! Finally met an interesting opponent." The leader of the deep-sea giants, Dun, laughed wantonly.

Suddenly, the thunderous laughter echoed in the cave hall, making Diam feel depressed and uncomfortable.

"Commander Dunn has fought several deep-sea fish dragons with bare hands. In terms of combat record, he is better than this sword holder." Ursula, the high priest of the Slippery Blade Naga, complimented him.

"Commander Dunn is so strong, that's naturally the best." Hearing the words of the Slippery Blade Naga priest, Diam felt much more at ease.

He had been thinking about how to deal with the other party Ryan, but found that there was almost no solution without high-end combat power.

Not only was the other party's combat power strong, but he was also very fast, which meant that if he couldn't beat him, he could still escape.

In other words, if you want to deal with Ryan, you have to find a place where it is difficult for the other party to escape. Or, find someone who makes it difficult for the other party to escape.

"Although I have no doubts about the strength of your church, the problem is that the other party is very fast. What if the other party wants to escape?" Diam asked at the right time, and at the same time, he looked at Havers.

Because when Diam was at a loss, the Poseidon Church sent repeated urgings, asking when to launch a joint attack against the Empire.

Originally, the High Priest Ericsson was the one who coordinated the attack with the Poseidon Church in the Frost Tundra, but after the other party died, Diam naturally took over.

When Diam thought of the Poseidon Church, his eyes lit up at that time.

Yes, his church could not dispatch anyone to deal with Ryan for the time being, so he could borrow his strength.

Divert the trouble to others!

Although it was not authentic, the Poseidon Church would sooner or later confront the Empire, so it was not a big deal to confront Ryan earlier.

Moreover, Diam also heard that the person in charge of the Poseidon Church's operation in the Howling Fjord this time was a strong man nicknamed "Shadow Burner".

No matter how fast or how strong the physical strength is, when encountering the shadow witchcraft of the heart-eating type, it is as fragile as an egg.

Therefore, Diam believed that the key to killing this Ryan lies in Havers, not the deep-sea giant leader Duen.

At this time, an elite lobster man quickly came to the thick-shelled lobster chief Yakaolan and said:

"Chief, we encountered an attack by a group of human mercenaries in the southern camp near the wreckage of the shipwreck. The opponent is very strong and our people suffered heavy casualties!"

"Huh? These stupid mercenaries dared to launch an attack on us. They are courting death!"

Due to the presence of Diam, this news was really a bit of a blow to the Sea God Cult, especially the face of the thick-shelled lobster tribe. The thick-shelled lobster chief Yakaolan immediately scolded.

"Lord Havers, I will deal with it myself." Yakaolan stood up and bowed slightly to Havers on the main seat.

"Well, it's time to teach these locust-like mercenaries a lesson. However, Chief Akaolan, remember to come back quickly. We still have to entertain Lord Diam well, and you, the host, can't be absent." Havers nodded and said with a smile.

"Of course, I will be back in half an hour at most. Lord Diam, please sit for a while." Akaolan turned around and said to Diam before leaving quickly.
