Chapter 149: Frozen Enchantment
"What the hell are they doing?"
Not only Dobby, but even Dai Li couldn't understand the qiē in front of her. When they saw the young knights leave, they thought they were planning to prepare for a surprise attack. But soon the two of them realized that this was not the case at all, for they saw a young knight retreat all the way down the hillside, and then she raised her "sword staff" in her hand, gestured to the sky, as if to determine what direction, and then stood there still. The others were no different, they were scattered, and each stood in a completely different place, but it would not be right to say that they were preparing to take their positions and launch a surprise attack, because the positions chosen by these young knights were all on the back side of the mountain, let alone attacking, they could not even see the enemy.
So what exactly is this going on?
Just when they were wondering, Deli suddenly noticed that the other girl knights were quickly retreating towards the rear, and at the same time, Jenn also made a retreat gesture to herself. Although they don't know exactly what he wants to do, Deli and Dobby quickly come to Jenn's side.
"What's going on? Mr. Jenn, are we planning to evacuate? ”
Looking at the young man in front of her, Dai Li couldn't help asking. In her opinion, Jenn may have decided to evacuate after discovering something after reconnaissance, but in the face of Deli's questioning, Jenn shook his head and denied her idea.
"No, quite the opposite, Miss Delly, we are ready to attack. Gather your men, and in a moment we're going to attack from the front and wipe these guys straight away. ”
"This ..............."
Hearing this, Daily and Dobby were stunned. This time they were here mainly for reconnaissance. So the soldiers stayed at the foot of the mountain and stayed with the wagons. And now Jenn actually wants them to gather those soldiers and prepare for a frontal attack? With the strength of those soldiers, how could they fight against the frost giants and ogres?
But in the face of Jenn's request. Dai Li didn't hesitate and nodded in agreement. The aristocracy of this era basically regarded their private soldiers as consumables, even if they were occasionally used for preservation purposes. And it won't be because they're flesh-and-blood people themselves, but because of their strength. To put it bluntly, it's similar to players playing a strategy simulation game. A first-level creep dies and dies, but if this creep is promoted to level 4 and becomes an elite and can fight tanks, then it will be a pity to die.
But it's just a pity.
Soon, driven by Dobby, the soldiers gathered and came not far behind Jenn. It's just that their expressions are not as flustered as before at this moment, after all, these aristocratic private soldiers still have some skills, but it was just because of the heavy rain and the sneak attack of the ogre that they did not exert their due strength. If the two sides go head-to-head, it won't be enough to defeat each other. But it won't be a direct defeat. Anyway, these guys are stronger than ordinary people, and if they didn't even have this ability, the Pawood family would have been swept away by their majesty.
It's just that Deli still can't figure out how Jenn plans to deal with those tricky monsters.
But the next moment, she immediately got the answer.
After making sure everyone was ready, Jenn nodded to Patilina beside him. Seeing Jenn's movements, Patilina immediately turned around and gestured to a knight in costume not far away. Soon, I saw the young knight raise the sword and staff in his hand and start chanting something in a low voice. Then the golden rune normals rose flat on the ground. surrounded the girl layer by layer, and then, turned into a pillar of light that soared into the sky.
As if a signal, accompanied by an explosion of pillars of light. In the distance, pillars of light rose from the ground to the sky. And immediately after. I saw golden lines emerge from the pillars of light, as if attracted in all directions. It soon joined with other pillars of light, forming an incomparably large one. Complex circles.
"It's ..............."
Seeing this scene, Dai Li's eyes widened in surprise and looked at the golden pillar of light. As a mage, she could clearly feel the power of the law contained in this pillar of light. The surging magic power was like a raging wave, surging like a galloping wild horse, but the thread of the law firmly controlled the irritable wild horse like a rein, forcing it to slowly calm down, and soon, the originally free wild horse turned into an obedient mule under the power of the law, and began to desperately pull up the millstone called mystery. The roaring magic began to work, took shape, and turned into a new existence.
"It's ......... Temporary enchantment?! ”
Dali was dumbfounded, and all she felt was as if she was in a dream. She already understood what those young knights were doing -- the gods were above, and they actually created a makeshift barrier around this valley?!
Upon realizing this, Deli's first reaction was that it was impossible! But it soon dawned on her that it was a good idea!
Starfall Fang is the territory of the Pawood family, and due to its special scenery, many people have come here. Naturally, Deli is no exception, so she is familiar with this place as well. Although the territory occupied by those cultists is not small, it is not large, strictly speaking, it is only about the size of half a fortress, and because it is surrounded by cliffs, people inside cannot get out, and people from outside cannot enter. In this case, it is indeed a clever way to directly form a temporary barrier. Even if these girl knights went around to the side or even behind the other party, they would not be able to attack the girls. In this case, forming a node and creating a temporary barrier is the equivalent of catching a turtle in an urn.
If it's someone else, then doing this kind of thing is just thankless, and the most important thing about the enchantment is to first form a core point, and then extend outward from that center. A perfect enchantment is formed from the inside out, but covering from the outside to the inside like Jenn first consumes a lot of mana, and secondly, it doesn't last long, so in general, the gains outweigh the losses.
But now it's different, what they need is attack. Instead of defensive, you don't need to maintain a large enchantment for a long time. In addition, each of these girl knights has master-level magical strength. It can perfectly resonate with the magic elements, so the power of the enchantment itself can also be guaranteed.
And in this way. Instead of keeping the cultists safe, the lairs covered by makeshift enchantments have become prisons for them. Under the cover of a large magical enchantment, they can't even run!
Soon, Delily's speculation went from fantasy to reality.
The anomaly in the sky was so obvious that the cultists quickly sensed that something was wrong, but before they could react, disaster had already befallen them unexpectedly.
The heavy dark clouds condensed and swirled under the influence of the magic, pressing down like a huge black mountain range. Soon. The cold wind was howling, the white snowflakes were dancing in the wind, and in a short time, the temperature in the entire valley had dropped below zero. For a while, the cold was overflowing, and the river that had been flowing was completely frozen. And those cultists and kobolds were the first to suffer from the disaster, and the howling cold wind mixed with the ice and snow blew down like knives, catching them off guard. You must know that it is still summer on the surface, and the climate of the Eagle Plateau is relatively cool, but it is not as cold as winter. Therefore, these cultists do not wear much. The current frozen barrier almost instantly lowered the temperature here to the level of the Antarctic Circle, making those cultists and kobolds suddenly unbearable. There are also a few cultists who know a little about spells and want to develop spells, but they can't even pronounce spells clearly because of the biting cold, and there is no way to counter spells. Only those frost giants can face the biting cold wind without changing their faces. After all, they were a race from the top of the mountain, and they were used to the cold.
"Quick, let the Frost Giants destroy those damned mages!!"
One was dressed in a black robe. The cold-faced and blue-faced cultist shouted loudly and gave the order, and soon saw the guy nodding. Then he turned around and ran against the cold wind towards the frost giants not far away.
That's when it happened. The storm has changed dramatically.
"Whew!!"
In the blink of an eye, a black shadow fell from the sky, piercing the cultist's body without hesitation. The poor unfortunate bastard didn't even realize what was happening, and just fell headlong to the ground, never to get up again. And it was only at this time that everyone realized that what penetrated his body was a crystal clear icicle, which looked as long as a knight's spear, and the spear body that was completely condensed by ice crystals even exuded a white cold aura. And the cultist didn't even shed blood, and was completely covered with hoarfrost and turned into a cold corpse in the literal sense of the word.
"Not good!!"
Seeing this scene, everyone else was surprised, but unfortunately, it was too late.
Whistling prisms of ice crystals poured down like a storm, enveloping the entire valley in it, and they ran through the dilapidated, improvised houses without stopping, erecting a beautiful forest of ice all over the ground. And those cultists and kobolds were the first to bear the brunt of the bad luck, and the sudden cold air made their movements much slower. There is no way to avoid the rain of death from the sky. Soon I saw many people screaming like this, pierced by the ice edges, and fell to the frost-covered ground, and there was no longer a sound. And the frost giants were no better, although their bloodlines allowed them to adapt to the erosion of the cold, but the giants' massive bodies also made it impossible for them to avoid the bombardment of the ice crystal prism. Sharp, sharp ice crystal prisms tore through their thick skin and pierced their muscles, causing the frost giants to fall to the ground with a wail, gasping in pain.
For a moment, the entire valley was like hell.
However, the temporary enchantment was only "temporary" after all, and after just three or five minutes, the dark clouds dissipated, and the pillar of light of the law gradually disappeared along with the fluctuation of magic power. Soon, the sky cleared again, and the soft glow of the sun shone on the earth again.
But Jenn's face did not appear relaxed because of this, on the contrary, he narrowed his eyes and looked at the valley depression not far away with a cold gaze.
"Mr. Jenn, you are ..............."
Seeing Jenn's expression, Dailie's originally relaxed mood sank slightly, but before she could say anything, she saw Jenn suddenly pull out her long sword and point forward.
"All hands on deck!"
And almost at the same time, the earth suddenly began to tremble. (To be continued......)
