Chapter 121: Saving Private Shearer (3)

Shearer put down the weapon in his hand, because at this moment he had recognized the two people walking in front of this group, one was the subordinate he sent to seek help from the Mercenary Association, and the other man was the Starlight Mercenary Leader who had a relationship with the mercenary joint meeting before, Rod.

How did he end up here?

Shearer's first thought was that the Mercenary Guild had received his request for help, so he sent them over, but he quickly dismissed the speculation. Because the time was so short, he had sent people a day ago, and no matter how fast they were, it was impossible for them to arrive in Deep Rock City in such a short time and then return with reinforcements. However, Shearer did not speak, he just put away his sword and looked at his subordinates with inquiring eyes, knowing that the other party would give him a perfect answer.

"That's right, Captain."

After seeing Shearer's gaze, the mercenary hurriedly spoke.

"We were attacked by the wind snakes as we were leaving, and no one had time to escape, and neither did I...... Luckily, Mr. Rhodes' Starlight Mercenary Regiment happened to be around here to save my life, and then he heard about our situation and volunteered to help us........."

After listening to his subordinates' explanations, Shearer withdrew his gaze, he slowly looked at Rod a few times, and then reached out and patted him on the shoulder.

"Thank you."

These two words have completely explained Shearer's feelings at the moment.

Since it was a refugee, then everyone naturally didn't have time to catch up and chat and drink to increase their feelings, and soon, Lijie and Labis were sent to help the wounded bandage their wounds and clear the toxins, and then they could see the benefits of the spirit master——— although with the scale of the "Burning Blade" mercenary group, they were not without spirit masters, but considering their characteristics, Hiller generally did not take them out to participate in missions. Of course, on the one hand, it is to protect the valuable assets of the mercenary group, but on the other hand, in case of emergency, it will become the same as it is now...... It's very embarrassing and dangerous.

And when Lijie and others were treating the wounded, Rod also began to discuss the next issues with Shearer——— or to be precise, Rod was discussing with Shearer's adjutant, in many cases, this resolute man himself did not say a word, more often than not, it was the adjutant who conveyed his meaning. Aside from the occasional humming in affirmative or shaking his head in the negative, Shearer had no intention of speaking at all.

If Rod's expression is as indissolable as the ice of a thousand miles of ice, then Shearer's silence is more like a rock that has stood quietly, bearing the traces of time, but almost never fails to express its opinion. But even so, people still can't ignore his existence.

"We've tried to break through the Wind Serpent's blockade and we've succeeded several times, but we've failed, Mr. Rhodes. These wind snakes themselves are not difficult to deal with, but they have lord-level rulers, which is a headache for us. ”

"Are there a lot of them?"

Rod was very keen to grasp the quantifiers in the other party's speech.

"Yes."

The other man nodded.

"There are three Wind Serpent Lords, and wherever we go, we are intercepted by them, and ......... We're also getting in the way of magic, so I guess someone is behind it...... In any case, his purpose is not to want us to leave. I don't know who the other party is, but now it looks like he should be a very dangerous guy. ”

After saying this series of words, the adjutant looked up at Shearer. Shearer, on the other hand, nodded slightly in agreement. …,

"With these gas element precipitation elixirs, ordinary wind snakes shouldn't want to get close, the abnormal changes of the wind snake will inevitably alarm the wind snake lord, I think those guys should already be on their way here at this moment, so we must set off immediately and leave this ghost place."

As he spoke, Rod opened his backpack and took out four bottles of potion.

"These are for you, just open them when you use them, and then hold them in your hands, the precipitation gas element will make those ordinary wind snakes dare not approach, as for the lord's side, although it is a little tricky, but without the help of the wind snake group, with our ability, there should be no big problem to deal with them, the only trouble is the mage ........."

Rhodes frowned, he hadn't thought about this possibility, the other party must have noticed them, and now the mastermind behind the scenes must be trying to lock them all up here and kill them. Although the idea is commendable, it does not mean that Rhodes will be willing to be the pawn who was sacrificed in the conspiracy.

"Can you know his rank?"

"This ............"

The adjutant glanced at Shearer in embarrassment, and then spoke with some uneasiness.

"We're not mages and don't know anything about these things, but I can only say that the first time we were driven back by a tornado that suddenly appeared. The second time was the thunder and lightning that spread out like a barrier, and frankly, these two times scared the brothers, and we tried a few more times after that, and although we never had any problems with magic again, we were still stopped by the wind snake lords. ”

"We're running out of time right now."

Hearing this, Rhodes pondered for a moment.

"Prepare, go at once, get ready for battle, you see? Mr. Shearer. ”

"Okay."

Hearing Rod's inquiry, Shearer stood up, and a voice that was short but unequivocally firm came out of his mouth. Then, he reached out and pressed Rhodes' shoulder, pointed at the mercenaries behind him, and made a gesture of affirmation.

“……… The head of the regiment means, we all listen to you. ”

I have to say, this is really tiring to translate.

"Hopefully we won't need such a cumbersome way of communicating in battle."

Faced with Shearer's statement, Rod rolled his eyes helplessly.

Soon, at the urging of everyone, the members of the Burning Blade Mercenary Regiment quickly packed their bags, dragged their exhausted bodies, followed Rhodes, and returned the way they came.

The black-clad mage opened his eyes.

"It's funny."

He floated quietly in the night sky, looking at the forest in the distance, as a mage, it was most basic not to expose himself to danger, especially for contract mages, who were preoccupied with how to tame boss-level monsters, causing their own magical strength to be much lower than ordinary mages. Although the black-clothed mage is considered the strongest among them, he is still unwilling to risk his life, the mage relies on command rather than brute force, and that kind of thing is good for his subordinates to do. The black-clad mage believed that if a mage was forced to the point where he had to use force head-on, then he had lost completely.

Therefore, unless it is absolutely necessary, he will never be exposed to people.

At this moment, with the help of the power of the spell, the black-clothed mage had completely seen what was happening in the distance.

"I was surprised that those muscular idiots hadn't broken down yet, and these new intruders were uninvited guests...... Well? ”

With the help of the manipulator's eyes, the black-clad mage looked at Rhodes carefully, and then he closed his eyes and thought for a moment.

"Speaking of which, this guy is a bit familiar, by the way, I was commissioned by Frank yesterday......... It seems to be this guy, I really didn't expect that he would take the initiative to send it to the door! ..., muttering to himself, the black-clothed mage showed a hint of a fanatical smile, and then, with a smile, he raised his right hand with a smile, and shouted complex and difficult words in his mouth, and hearing the incantation he chanted, the group of wind snakes that had been circling around once again let out a sharp cry, and then pounced like locusts coming from all over the world!

"Get ready, Pitch!!"

The black oppressive wind snake group did not affect Rod's mood, on the contrary, in the face of this overwhelming terrible beast, he gave an order very calmly, and then took out a glass bottle from his waist and threw it forward. And with his movements, the mercenaries who had obtained the potion before also threw the potion in their hands in all directions, and soon, a pungent smell quickly spread, thick and almost disgusting.

And the originally fierce wind snakes have completely lost their previous demeanor at this moment, they fall to the ground one after another like meteors, slamming into the earth and hard rocks, and even some wind snakes that have lost the support of the qi element can't control themselves at all, facing the sharp branches and crashing over, and then being mercilessly pierced in half.

"Marlene!"

Hearing Rod's order, Marlene, who had already been prepared, immediately raised the staff in her hand, and soon, a series of shining and dazzling thunderbolts flew out of her staff, and quickly flowed in the wind snake group, accompanied by one explosion after another, the broken wind snake corpse and the smell of fishy blood also spread in the forest at the same time, mixed with the pungent smell, giving people a feeling of nausea.

"Oh?"

Sensing the failure of his attack, the black-clothed mage raised his eyebrows in some surprise, then closed his eyes, and then showed a hint of unintentional joy on his face.

"I really didn't expect that anyone would be able to think of such a tactic, yes, it seems that this kid is indeed smarter than those muscle idiots, so ......... How do you deal with this? ”

Muttering to himself, the black-clothed mage put his finger in his mouth, whistled lightly, and .........

“———！！”

Thorn, a loud roar suddenly appeared, and three huge white wind snakes with a full body of six or seven meters long suddenly appeared from the clouds, their bright red eyes were full of killing intent and anger, they quickly flapped their wings and rushed down.

"It's the lord! Be careful! ”

Hearing this piercing and sharp scream, Rod hurriedly raised his long sword, and then quickly reminded the others loudly. At the same time, three huge figures had already fallen, blocking in front of them.

"Boom.!!"

The powerful force even crushed the hard old trees, and the Wind Snake Lord's tail only flicked slightly, cutting off the dozens of trees in front of him, and they spat out letters, lowered their heads, and prepared to attack in the face of their prey.

And at this moment, Rod finally gave the order.

"Attack!"
