Chapter 125 Fire Magic Arrow
Xu Yi jumped up instantly, opened the tent and rushed out.
At this time, the sound of horseshoes trampling the ground was heard from the field in the northwest, and it was heard in the camp, waking up all the people who had fallen asleep in the camp.
The guards who were originally scheduled to take a rest in the first half of the night showed the results of their usual training at this time. They reacted immediately, put on a full set of equipment, gathered together, and quickly set up a defensive formation around the camp.
Hart's loud call sounded outside the camp, and he ran in after a while, saluted Xu Yi, and said in a deep voice, "Master President, there is an enemy sneak attack."
Seeing that there was no panic on Hart's face, Xu Yi nodded and asked, "You are responsible for the arrangement of the defense work, and I will not interfere. If you need me to take action, you can come and tell me."
Hart glanced at Xu Yi in surprise, and then remembered that the chairman was actually a high-level magician.
In this kind of caravan guard, if there is one more senior magician, the combat power of the entire guard will be greatly improved.
It's just that because of Xu Yi's status as president, Hart always subconsciously ignores the possibility of Xu Yi going to battle in person, making him always forget Xu Yi's identity as a magician.
After hesitating for a while, Hart said seriously: "In this case, Mr. President, I hope you will be ready to join the battle at any time."
Watching Hart finish turning 'long' wind 'literature'
Xu Yi frowned slightly as he walked away.
Hart did not refuse to let himself join the war, which proved that the situation may not be optimistic.
"President, is there an enemy sneak attack?" Camby's voice sounded behind Xu Yi. "What kind of guy dares to attack our Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, do you want to court death?"
Xu Yi looked back. But I found that Camby and a kind of dwarves in the convoy didn't show any nervousness or fear in their expressions. Instead, they all look excited and expectant. Can't help but laugh.
This group of dwarves really deserves to be called the "fighting race" by all the races on the Sainz continent.
However, these dwarves are all mechanical engineers of the Magic Machine Tool R&D Center of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce. They can be regarded as the treasures of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce. Even if Xu Yi believes that their combat effectiveness is very strong, he dare not easily let them take risks on the battlefield.
After pondering for a while, Xu Yi stopped Canby and others who were eager to try, and let them stay in the camp to take care of other non-combat staff in the convoy, and stepped out of the camp by himself.
Although time is tight when camping. Hart and other guards still relied on the magic locomotives outside to build a small fortification. At this time, they were gathering behind this crude fortification, staring intently at the direction of the sound of horseshoes.
"How's the situation?" Xu Yi touched it and looked in the direction of the sound of horseshoes, but he could only see the darkness and could not find anything.
"I'm afraid the situation is not good." Unlike when Xu Yi was notified for the first time, Hart's expression became more serious now. "The three guards who were patrolling in that direction before have not come back. I guess they are already in danger. And judging from the sound of horses' hoofs, there may be at least two hundred enemies who attacked."
"Two hundred rides?" Xu Yi frowned deeply. "With so many cavalry, they will definitely not be ordinary bandits."
Hart nodded slowly. Glancing at Xu Yi, he hesitated to speak.
Xu Yi patted him on the shoulder: "I'll talk about it later. Let's deal with this time well first. Otherwise, whether we can survive or not may be a problem."
"yes."
Hart nodded heavily, raised his head and shouted to a tree next to the camp: "Issos, how is the situation?"
There was a rustling of leaves on the top of the tree, and an elf guard jumped down, nodding to Xu Yi with the same dignified expression.
"We've entered four hundred meters."
"Very well, enter the range, no need to say hello. Everyone, bows and arrows are ready!"
Hart gave an order, and all the guards moved around, each holding a magic crossbow.
"put!"
Hart's right hand fell heavily, and Xu Yi's ears suddenly heard the rustling sound of feather arrows piercing the air.
A moment later, countless feathered arrows pierced the night, and there was a scream in front of him and the dull sound of people falling to the ground on their backs.
The magic crossbow equipped by Xu Yi to the guards of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce is a new version of the improved magic crossbow based on the magic repeater provided to the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce at the beginning of the year. The number of arrows is also more. At the same time, the number of arrows that can be shot is nearly 30% more than the previous magic crossbow.
Although there are only forty guards in total, if each person has a magic crossbow, the rain of arrows released is comparable to the five hundred archers in the ordinary army of the Lampari Kingdom.
The continuous rain of arrows shot out in the darkness, and the screams of people and horses kept ringing from the front, which showed that the incoming enemies must have suffered heavy injuries.
Just when Xu Yi felt that if things continued like this, the enemies who suddenly came to sneak attack might be shot before they got close to the camp, a bright light blue circle of light suddenly lit up in the darkness ahead, like a semicircular hood shrouded in the field.
"Guardian of Zhanlan?"
Seeing this light blue circle of light, Xu Yi was taken aback.
This light blue circle of light is clearly the guardian of the eighth-level magic of the water system, Zhanlan!
So, there is actually a senior magician who can cast eighth-level magic in the team that came to sneak attack?
The endless rain of arrows bumped into this light blue light curtain viciously, but it seemed to be installed with a wall made of water. It could only create waves of water on the light circle, but it couldn't penetrate the light curtain at all. Light curtains fell down one after another.
Seeing this situation, Hart's face darkened, he turned his head to look at Xu Yi, hesitated for a moment, and said, "Master President, it seems that you still need to take action."
Xu Yi took a look at the opponent's cavalry team that could be clearly seen under the light curtain, and found that there were more than a hundred cavalrymen who survived the rain of arrows just now, and his brows frowned.
Such a large number of cavalry troops will definitely not be ordinary bandits, but should look more like a regular army.
Even judging from their complete equipment and uniform movements, they seem to be trained in an orderly manner. Even the general city guards in the Lampari Kingdom are far behind.
So where did these guys come from? And why did they suddenly raid the convoy of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce at night?
But now is not the time to think about these issues. Hear Hart's request. Xu Yi shook his head slightly: "Now is not the best time for me to make a move. Hart, put on a new magic arrow box."
Hart's eyes widened suddenly: "No way? Mr. President, do you really want to use it?"
"Nonsense, don't use it at this time, save it to go back and have a baby?" Xu Yi scolded.
Hart swallowed with difficulty, turned his head and gestured to the surrounding guards.
The other guards also looked in disbelief, looked at each other, and hesitated for a moment. Only then did he replace the arrow box of the magic crossbow in his hand, and replace it with a very special looking arrow box.
Seeing that all the guards had changed, Hart looked at Xu Yi again with a look of embarrassment.
"Master President, do you really need to use it?"
"Stop talking nonsense, didn't you see that the enemy is so close?" Xu Yi pointed to the cavalry team that had slowed down after supporting the blue guard in the wilderness ahead.
"Ok……"
Hart turned his head to look at the enemy who was not far away, took a deep breath, and shouted in a low voice: "Let go!"
It is slightly different from the sound of countless arrows tearing the air just now, although the sound of the arrows piercing the air released by the magic crossbow this time is still piercing and shocking, but it seems much warmer. It seemed to be a lot gentler all of a sudden.
And when the arrow pierced the night sky, there were red traces behind it. It was as if each arrow had a long tail behind it.
The magic continuous crossbow fired continuously, and countless arrows flew out, and in an instant, countless dense fiery red thin lines were drawn in the air, completely illuminating the entire night sky.
"boom"
The first arrow hit the light blue light curtain in the blink of an eye, but it was not easily blocked by the light curtain like those arrows just now, but directly triggered a violent explosion.
Accompanied by the flash of red light, a violent and deafening explosion sounded far away in the wasteland.
"Boom boom boom boom boom boom..."
Following the first arrow, countless arrows collided with the light curtain, causing countless violent explosions again in an instant.
The light blue light caused numerous ripples in the countless consecutive violent explosions, the light dimmed instantly, and the entire light curtain became unstable, as if it would disappear in the next moment.
But after a while, the light curtain stabilized again, and even burst out with a stronger blue light, completely covering the cavalry below once again.
"Hey, this guy's magic power is quite strong." Xu Yi sneered, and said to Hart: "Keep shooting, I want to see how long he can last."
Hart smiled wryly: "Master President, why are you bothering? Didn't you tell us last time that the cost of a fire magic arrow is 30 silver coins, let us save some money. But now we have shot Forty flaming magic arrow boxes have been sent out, which is a total of 800 flaming magic arrows, and the total cost... 240 gold coins!"
"Oh, it's not that much. If you can abolish a magician with just over two hundred gold coins, I think it's quite a bargain." Xu Yiman said indifferently. "Okay, stop talking, and continue quickly. Do you want those guys to really rush into the camp? Don't forget, the things in the camp are more valuable now. If you let them rush in, the damage caused may not be good. It is more than ten times that of two hundred and forty gold coins."
"But Mr. President, you can completely fight against this magician if you only need to make a move. In this way, it will not be a problem for us to deal with those cavalrymen. Why waste all this money?"
"First, if I can't make a move, of course I try not to make a move. Why do I have to do something that can be solved with money?" Xu Yi glanced at the cavalry who were already within a hundred meters away, and continued with a sneer Said: "Second, this is a warning to some people, telling them that the power we have in the hands of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce has far exceeded their imagination."
Hart frowned: "Master President, shouldn't this kind of thing be kept secret?"
Xu Yi chuckled and said, "You don't understand that. Even this kind of thing needs advertising."
