Chapter 126 I'm Still Too Naive
The latest flame magic arrow developed by the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce will trigger a miniature explosion circle engraved in the arrow after each hit, and its power is equivalent to a third-level fire magic.
Although the power of the third-level fire magic is not enough compared to the eighth-level magic Azure Guardian, but a third-level fire magic may not pose any threat to the blue guardian, ten, a hundred, or even a thousand third-level fire magic It is a completely different matter if the power of magic is accumulated.
Under Xu Yi's order, Hart and other guards continued to equip the magic crossbow with flame magic arrows to shoot, and the fiery red tail flames in the night sky were densely packed without stopping at all.
The seemingly endless flame magic arrows collided with the light curtain of the azure guardian, causing dense and endless explosion sounds, like fireworks, bursting out in the wilderness under the darkness of the night, clusters of fire red and light blue mixed magic light.
In the beginning, the magician could continue to rely on his powerful magic power, but a magician's magic power has an upper limit after all. Even if the magician is powerful, he can't withstand such dense and fast flame magic arrows. The arrows bombed again and again.
Zhanlan Guardian only lasted for less than half a minute before being bombarded by the rain of arrows and the light dimmed, and it seemed that he could no longer sustain it.
And because of the threat of such a violent arrow rain, the cavalry team could only advance forward under the protection of the light curtain, and the speed naturally became extremely slow. In this half minute, they only advanced less than 50 meters. The sides of the camp did not touch.
At this time, the light of the azure guardian finally began to flicker continuously under the constant bombardment of the flame magic arrows.
Xu Yi snorted coldly, suddenly raised his hand, and waved forward.
"Stab—"
An unusually dazzling electric light appeared out of thin air in front of Xu Yi, piercing the night sky like lightning and hitting the light curtain directly.
The light curtain shook violently, and suddenly a dark blue brilliant light burst out, and then disappeared.
The electric light penetrated behind the light curtain. It fell straight into the group of cavalry, and a dazzling white light burst out.
The more than one hundred cavalry who were still maintaining a complete formation under the light curtain were concentrated by the electric light, and they were defeated in an instant.
A loud cry came out, and the remaining cavalry suddenly turned their horses around. Instead, he turned around and prepared to escape.
Seeing this situation, Xu Yi snorted coldly, and ordered Hart: "Catch a few alive, and don't let the rest go."
"yes."
Hart led the order, and the guards put on ordinary arrow boxes again, and another round of arrow rain passed, and the few remaining cavalry fell down like rice harvesting.
This time, the ten elf guards who came to serve as guards quietly sneaked through the darkness. Hart ordered the rest of the guards to put away their magic crossbows, draw out the short blades they carried with them, and rush out.
Seeing that the ten elf guards had disappeared into the darkness. Hart and other human guards had also controlled the battlefield, Xu Yi nodded and returned to the camp.
Everyone in the camp has been awakened at this moment, and they are talking nervously in the center of the camp.
The difference is that the dwarves looked excited one by one. Human beings have excitement, nervousness, and a lot of fear.
Seeing Xu Yi return to the camp, a group of people surrounded him.
"President, what's the matter?"
"President, does the situation matter? Do we need to go too?"
"I said, do you still need to ask? I didn't see the president smiling, so it must be fine. Right, president?"
"President..."
...
Xu Yi smiled slightly. He waved his hand and said: "Okay, the enemy has been dealt with, everyone don't need to be nervous, go back and rest. We have to hurry tomorrow morning, hurry up and rest."
"Is this solved? Isn't it too fast?" Everyone was stunned.
But seeing that Xu Yi didn't intend to continue explaining, everyone discussed with each other for a while. They each returned to their tents.
As for whether they really intend to continue to rest, then Xu Yi can't control it.
After returning to his tent and waiting patiently for a while, there was a slight sound of footsteps outside, and then Hart's deliberately lowered voice came in.
"Master President, the battlefield has been cleaned."
Xu Yi opened the tent and walked out. I saw Hart and Isos covered in blood.
"Master President, Isos and the others have brought back three people, what do you think we should do with them?" Hart asked.
"Interrogate carefully and see who sent them here." Xu Yi said in a deep voice, glanced at the blood on Hart and Issos, and asked, "How about our loss this time?"
"Three brothers on patrol died, but the others didn't suffer any losses." Hart replied.
A trace of sadness flashed across Xu Yi's face.
Although Xu Yi had predicted that such a day would come sooner or later when the caravan guards were established, he still couldn't help but sigh in his heart when he faced the death of the guards.
After all, this continent is still a far less stable and peaceful world than the earth.
After waving his hands to signal Hart and Issos to interrogate the captives, Xu Yi turned his head and glanced at the tent behind him, but found that he was not sleepy at all. After thinking about it, he came to sit cross-legged beside the fire in the center of the camp.
Seeing the firewood crackling and sparks flying in the fire, Xu Yi's heart was beating like a flame.
Although the attack at night seemed a little calm from the process, and did not pose any threat to the entire convoy, it was entirely because the other party miscalculated the convoy's protective power, and did not expect that the convoy guards were equipped with such a powerful magic company. Crossbows and the latest magic arrows developed by the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce.
Under normal circumstances, the opponent's two hundred well-trained cavalry is an extremely powerful force, coupled with a powerful magician who can support the eighth-level magic Zhanlan Guardian, this force is even enough to destroy a small city. It is completely easy to deal with the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce convoy with only fifty guards.
With such a powerful force, it is obviously not ordinary bandits that suddenly appeared from nowhere, but a regular army sent from somewhere.
What Xu Yi was wondering now was who sent this group of cavalrymen and a powerful magician who could be called elite even if they were placed in the regular army of the kingdom?
Judging from the opponent's performance tonight, it is obvious that they intend not to give the team any room to resist.
However, what Xu Yi couldn't be sure of was whether the other party planned to directly destroy the entire convoy, or whether they planned to rob them?
After thinking about it for a while, Xu Yi realized that he did not have enough information to support him. He couldn't get an accurate answer at all, so he could only give up.
"I hope Hart and Isos can ask something useful..."
Xu Yi glanced at the darkness outside the camp, where Hart, Issos and others were interrogating several captives, but Xu Yi was surprised. He has never heard any screams, and he doesn't know what method Hart and the others are using for interrogation. ,
Abandoning this aspect of thinking, Xu Yi began to think about another problem.
The sudden attack tonight made Xu Yi feel vigilant.
He has been focusing on the development plan of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce before. Although he has been reminded directly or indirectly by Earl Summer, President Cruise, and Her Royal Highness Princess Sevigny, he must be wary of anyone who will attack the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce. Since then, Xinfei Chamber of Commerce has developed very smoothly, which made Xu Yi gradually relax his vigilance.
However, the attack tonight reminded Xu Yi of a cruel fact.
After all, the Sains Continent is different from the peaceful and harmonious environment on Earth. This world is more naked, and even the most simple and direct violence will be used to solve problems.
Xu Yi wants to control all problems at the commercial level, but others don't think the same way.
"To put it simply, I'm really naive..." Xu Yi sighed and smiled self-deprecatingly.
He turned his head and glanced at it next to the camp. The bodies of the three guards covered by cloth, Xu Yi narrowed his eyes slightly.
Maybe...it's time for a change of heart.
After waiting quietly by the fire for a while, a guard came over and told Captain Xu Yihart to invite him over.
Xu Yi followed the guard to the outside of the camp and saw Hart and Isos who had finished the interrogation. Looking at the weird expressions on their faces, he knew in his heart that they must have asked them for a result that surprised them.
"How?" Xu Yi asked.
Hart and Issos looked at each other. Both of them had serious expressions on their faces. Hart paused, leaned closer to Xu Yi, and replied softly, "Master President, these guys who sneaked up on us... come from the Greedy Wolf Legion of the Sark Kingdom."
"Kingdom of Sark?" Xu Yi looked at the two in surprise, with an incredulous expression on his face. "How is this possible! It's a full 200 kilometers away from the border between the two countries. How could the army of the Sac Kingdom break into such a deep place on the border and launch a night attack on our convoy?"
Hart shook his head with an ugly face: "I don't know exactly what's going on. But according to the prisoners' answers, they followed the command and set off after receiving the order this morning. They didn't encounter any obstacles along the way, and then Raid our convoy at night."
"Did you encounter any obstacles?" Xu Yi narrowed his eyes. Glancing at Hart, he snorted and said, "Hart, tell me, where is the defense range of the Zhenbei Army?"
Hart replied with a wry smile: "Master President, although the Zhenbei Army needs to guard the entire northern border of the kingdom in name, the strength of the Zhenbei Army is limited, and it is impossible to send troops to defend every place, so except for the Murto Mountains Outside of this most important section of the border, the rest of the area is mainly in the charge of the border cities themselves.”
"I see." Xu Yi asked for the extorted confession record from Hart, and looked carefully, but didn't see much value. "The prisoner said that they sneaked in under the command, so what about the person who commanded them?"
Isos shook his head: "I'm sorry, Mr. Chairman, there is a magician and a knight who are powerful, but we failed to catch them. I think they should be the commanders of these cavalry."
Xu Yi nodded, but he didn't blame Isos, after all, from the short battle just now, the magician had already demonstrated powerful magic power.
If such a powerful magician was determined to escape, then it would be very easy to cooperate with a strong warrior, and it would be almost impossible to catch them.
Flipping through the confession report in his hand again, Xu Yi thought for a while, then handed the confession report to Hart, and said in a deep voice: "Hart, I will give you a magic cargo locomotive, you choose a few guards, and take the prisoners and Escort this report back to Banta City and hand it over to Her Royal Highness Princess Sevigny."
Hart was stunned for a moment, and looked at Xu Yi suspiciously, but he didn't ask any further questions, and replied in a deep voice.
But after thinking about it, he still couldn't help but said: "Master President, if I take a few more guards away, will the team's defense force be a little insufficient? What if someone comes to attack again..."
"No. Tonight's attack failed. It is impossible for the other party to organize the same attack again in a short period of time. The price would be too high for them to pay. You just follow my orders and hand over these things to Give it to Her Royal Highness, Her Royal Highness knows how to arrange it."
Hal hesitated for a moment, then asked again: "What about the battlefield here? It's not good to put so many corpses here..."
Xu Yi sneered: "Don't worry, things here will naturally be arranged by someone, so we don't need to worry about it."
