With the help of monsoons and ocean currents, the fleet crossed the Death Swamp and Neverwinter in just three days after setting out from the Whalebone Islands, and successfully arrived near a river on the border between Neverwinter and Luskan.
Since the river is less than 20 meters wide and the water is only deep enough to cover an adult's waist, it is not marked on the map at all.
Anyone who knows something about the situation in the North knows that it is this inconspicuous river that has become the natural dividing line between the two cities.
If either side crossed the river, it would be a very clear signal of war.
Moreover, due to the unique terrain along the Sword Bay, the coastal areas are often very steep cliffs, and the river water flows directly down from hundreds of meters high, forming a very spectacular waterfall.
Normally, it is impossible for ordinary people to climb up.
This is why the several relatively flat areas along the Sword Bay that were deposited by the rivers have all become busy ports and trade hubs without exception.
Apart from these cities, there is no place to go ashore in other areas, let alone large-scale transportation of goods inland.
But what Zuo Si had to do now was to transport the sailors and soldiers on the ship to the top of a cliff hundreds of meters high, let them suddenly appear in the rear of the Luskan army, and then cooperate with the Neverwinter coalition to completely encircle and annihilate this group of enemies.
Vanessa didn't even bother to set up the portal. She just carried the box back and forth and transported more than two thousand people up.
Along with these people, there were also 500 heavy war horses that were a specialty of the Kingdom of Tethyr, as well as full body armor and lances to match the horses.
After a while, those guys with the highest warrior class and the strongest bodies transformed themselves from sailors into heavy cavalry.
The others also put on protective gear and replaced their scimitars with spears, swords and shields, weapons that are only used in military formations.
After more than a year of training by the hobgoblin captains, the former pirates of the Nelanther Islands are no longer the mob they once were, but a group of well-trained elites with permanent assets.
In particular, the battle formation experience personally taught by the captain of the Royal Guard of the Kingdom of Tesser is definitely not comparable to the armies in the north which often only have a few hundred scattered city-states.
As the nominal supreme commander, Eric was now wearing gorgeous and sturdy magic armor, riding a dragon-born warhorse covered with scales all over his body, and with his head slightly raised, he looked like a majestic king.
Needless to say, he really enjoys the feeling of commanding thousands of troops.
The most important thing is that there will be no suspense in this battle, and victory is almost a foregone conclusion.
In addition, after the war, he will meet with the leaders of the towns in the north as the lord of the Nelanther Islands, pretending to discuss some things, and even sign some trade and cooperation agreements.
Although these have been decided in advance, now it is just a formality.
But the feeling of being praised and respected by others greatly satisfied Eric's vanity.
He knew very well that he did not have the necessary ability to manage such a large territory, and he was not qualified to play tricks with a lich like Vanessa who possessed powerful spellcasting powers.
Captain Hallett is smart and ambitious enough, right? But what is the result?
He was still easily toyed to death by the other party without any effort.
So Eric was very content to be a puppet who did not have much real power but was very rich and had a very high social status. He fulfilled his responsibilities and obligations honestly, and then enjoyed banquets, wine and women to his heart's content, and spent the rest of his life comfortably.
After all, the reason why he risked his life to go out to sea was to pursue these things.
Thinking of this, the man who had been a pirate for many years suddenly raised the magic sword in his hand, which was flashing with dazzling cold light, and swung it vigorously: "All troops attack!"
The next second...
Both the infantry and the cavalry began to move in an orderly manner.
Guided by magic, they quickly found the location where the Luskan army was stationed.
When the distance approached within two or three kilometers, the Luskan sentry on guard immediately sounded the alarm.
In an instant, the entire camp was thrown into chaos.
The commander in charge of the team ran out of the tent in panic and shouted to the lookout standing on the arrow tower: "What's going on? Why are there troops behind us? How many are there? Are they wearing the emblem of that town?"
"I don't know! They are marching very fast and raising a lot of dust, so it's impossible to see their number clearly. But one thing is certain, that is, these people have a very astonishing number of cavalry." The lookout responded hurriedly with a hoarse voice.
According to common sense on Earth, in battles during the cold weapon era, the distance of an infantry charge would generally not exceed one hundred meters.
Because this is the limit of what humans can stand in terms of strenuous exercise.
If it is farther away, it will consume too much energy and will not be able to exert its full strength in the battle.
As for cavalry, generally speaking, three hundred to five hundred meters is a very good charge distance.
But in Faerun, a world filled with magic and various supernatural powers, any warrior, barbarian or ranger with level 1 can run several kilometers quickly without panting.
With the bonus of superhuman physical fitness, the maximum distance of the charge has undoubtedly been greatly extended.
Before the commander of the Luskan army had time to organize his soldiers, the heavy cavalry at the front rushed past, cutting the butter-thin camp in half like a sharp knife.
Those who tried to resist were all stabbed to death by lances, or knocked away or trampled by horses' hooves, turning into splattered blood and flesh.
Since the Arcane Brotherhood had just suffered a disastrous defeat, many low-level mages and apprentices were either captured or buried at the bottom of the sea to feed the fish, and they had no manpower to cooperate with the army.
So the Luskans had no way to deal with the fully armed heavy cavalry at all.
Although they did cut down some trees and make the suggested fences and chevaux de frise when building the camp.
But it was blown to pieces by a fireball.
In addition, the attack came so quickly that there was not enough time to react, and Luskan fell into chaos in a short time.
The infantry followed closely and began to divide and surround.
Whenever someone tried to stand up and turn the tide to organize resistance, Eric would personally lead the heavy cavalry to rush over and kill the leader.
The Neverwinter coalition forces on the other side of the river had undoubtedly noticed this, and quickly took action to cross the river and launch a two-pronged attack.
In less than ten minutes, the last armed force of Luskan collapsed. Most of them surrendered on the spot, and only a few took advantage of the chaos to escape into the woods.
When the battle was over, many soldiers in the town who had long been threatened and intimidated by Luskan began to beat and kick the prisoners, venting the resentment that had accumulated in their hearts.
Especially the officers, several of whom were accused of having participated in invading other towns and allowing their subordinates to loot, and were beaten to death on the spot.
Because this army was the main force behind Luskan's several external expansions, many of its members had engaged in looting and massacres of civilians.
If you use detect evil, you can see that they are all flashing red light, which symbolizes evil.
However, this act of venting anger was quickly stopped by the priests of the God of Justice who were following the Neverwinter army.
Because lynching has always been strictly prohibited by Tyr's doctrine.
But they took the lead in setting up a temporary court to try these Luskan soldiers and then decide how to deal with them.
Since Tyr himself attaches great importance to procedural justice and has even defended evil gods from the opposing camp such as Cyric, his church believes that even the most heinous people must be tried before being executed.
Of course, Eric had no interest in paying attention to these messy things. Instead, he dismounted and gave Lord Nasir a warm hug. Then he smiled and said, "I heard of your name a long time ago. From an adventurer to the ruler of a city, you have done things that countless people dare not even think about."
"Isn't it the same for you? The Lord of the Nalanther Islands, perhaps you can be called the King of the West Sea from now on." Lord Nasir complimented in a half-joking tone.
Then they both burst into laughter at the same time.
Because to outsiders, Eric's life experience can also be called legendary.
He went from being a subordinate of a big pirate to becoming the supreme leader of a faction, and even brought order to the originally chaotic sea trade routes for the first time.
Soon, under the introduction of Lord Nasir, Eric got to know the representatives of those towns and made promises to ensure that Luskan would never invade their lands again after being occupied.
In addition, towns are welcome to ship their specialties to Luskan for sale.
Seeing the Lord of the Nelanthel Islands talking about the benefits of free trade in front of everyone and signing agreements with several towns at once, Eribes couldn't help but ask in a low voice: "Is he really just a puppet?"
"Yes, he is really just a puppet. The entire Nelanther Islands are currently managed by a simple bureaucratic system. Neither taxation nor the fleet are directly controlled by Eric. Only when military operations are carried out will the nominal supreme leader come forward and take command."
Neverwinter's intelligence chief gave an affirmative answer without hesitation.
To be honest, he was a little confused about the power structure of the Nelanther Islands.
Because as the real person in power behind the scenes, Zuo Si basically does not care about anything and rarely even appears on the island.
Normally, such decentralization would easily breed ambition and eventually lead to internal power struggles or rebellion.
But the situation in the Nairansel Islands was extremely stable from beginning to end.
Even if some forces want to infiltrate or bribe them, they will soon be found out and completely eradicated.
Eric, in particular, seemed to have no dissatisfaction with the fact that he was a puppet, and had no intention of asking for more power.
In Faerun, where ambitious people are everywhere, this is even more incredible than seeing a vegetarian ogre.
"Judging from his words and actions, it's hard to imagine that he was once a cruel and bloodthirsty pirate." Eribes sighed slightly.
"That's because Eric hired a teacher to teach him etiquette and manners. Oh, and he's also an extremely lustful guy, with more than a dozen lovers."
The reason why Neverwinter's intelligence chief was able to find out so many things was not because his spies were so powerful, but because everyone on the Nelanther Islands knew about these gossips.
There was no way! Like most people who suddenly became rich overnight, Eric inevitably fell into the quagmire of desire.
In addition, those merchants who wanted to gain more trade shares kept sending all kinds of beauties to please him, so naturally it was inevitable that he had an astonishing number of mistresses.
And these so-called twelve are actually just for establishing long-term and stable relationships.
As for those that were just one night of passion, they were not counted at all, otherwise the number would definitely exceed three digits.
"How corrupt and decadent!"
After hearing these words, Eribes's impression and evaluation of Eric dropped significantly in an instant, and there was even a hint of contempt in his eyes.
As a holy warrior who symbolizes purity, she has always strictly followed the doctrine set by the God of Justice Tyr.
Not to mention such a chaotic and indulgent private life, even before the formal wedding, the engaged couple are not allowed to have any overly intimate behavior.
After all, in the teachings of the God of Justice, being overly obsessed with the pleasures brought by the flesh and sensory stimulation often means degeneration.
So no matter who you are, if you want to pursue a holy warrior, you must be mentally prepared for a long-term platonic spiritual love.
During this period, even normal behaviors between ordinary couples, such as holding hands, hugging, and kissing, may be regarded as rude and offensive.
However, Eric obviously didn't know that he had been despised by Eribes. After signing the trade treaty with representatives from other towns, he immediately followed Lord Nasir to another empty tent.
"Where are Lord Soth and his fleet now?" Lord Nasir asked directly.
Eric answered without hesitation: "It's at the mouth of this river. According to the original plan, we were going to launch an attack directly from the sea. But when I heard that the Neverwinter coalition was confronting the last army of Luskan here, I was sent here to work with you to eliminate this threat first."
Lord Nasir nodded thoughtfully, "I see. So, Luskan is now completely defenseless?"
"Of course, there are no troops and soldiers in the ordinary sense, but this does not mean that they have lost all ability to resist. At least it will cost a considerable price to take down the Mage Tower controlled by the Arcane Brotherhood." Eric explained in a pretentious manner.
In fact, he had no idea how the liches would attack a magical tower with powerful defensive capabilities, let alone Vanessa and Zuo Si's plan.
"That's true. What are your plans next? Continue moving towards Luskan?" Lord Nasir continued to ask.
"That's for sure. Our next mission is to take over Luskan and settle accounts with the pirates, criminals, illegal merchants, and rogues. But Neverwinter probably won't want to get involved in this, right?" Eric asked meaningfully.
"Yes, Neverwinter will not be involved in this matter. So we will not get close to Luskan again, let alone enter that city full of evildoers." Lord Nasir expressed his position clearly.
Because if Neverwinter got involved, they would have to set up a court according to the teachings of the God of Justice, and then conduct a procedural trial on more than 70 to 80 percent of the city's residents.
This is not only time-consuming and laborious, but also very easy to be exploited by those insidious and cunning guys.
On the contrary, it would be quicker and more effective to let Zuo Si do what he wanted and carry out a complete purge.
Only in this way can Luskan change.
"Then let's say goodbye here. When the matter in Luskan is settled, I will invite you to be my guest, and then we can have a drink together to celebrate the victory."
After saying that, Eric bowed slightly to the other party, then threw all the prisoners to the Neverwinter coalition forces, took some supplies with him, and marched north to Luskan.
Although the meeting was short, he left a good impression on the leaders of many towns in the North.
At least people no longer regard the Nelanther Islands as a pirate force, but an object with which they can trade, cooperate and communicate.
At the same time, the huge fleet also completed the last leg of the journey with the help of strong winds and appeared on the sea level that could be observed by the Luskan Lighthouse.
When the guard on duty saw this scene, he immediately rang the bronze bell hanging at the top.
As the low roar echoed over the dock, the city instantly fell into panic.
The merchant ships and pirate ships that had been docked around the port all raised their sails, hoping to escape before the port was completely blocked.
But soon they saw one of the pirate ships being sent directly to the bottom of the sea by a fireball from a sorcerer in the air.
The violent explosion and fire burned more than half of the sailors on the deck to death, and the rest jumped into the icy sea with screams, and were eventually frozen to death as expected.
You have to know that Luskan is very close to the Roof of the World and Icewind Dale on the other side, and the water temperature will not exceed ten degrees Celsius even in summer.
Although a person will not freeze to death immediately if he falls in, his body temperature will be lost very quickly. He will not be able to swim to the shore and will sink to the bottom of the sea because of numbness in his hands and feet and cold limbs.
With such a living negative example, the other ships immediately lowered their sails and dropped anchor, giving up the idea of escaping.
With the help of magic deterrence, Zuo Si captured all the ships effortlessly.
All ships belonging to Luskan were confiscated without further ado.
Ships from other city-states would be returned to their owners after investigation and confirmation that they were not trafficking slaves or narcotics.
Zuo Si always delegated these trivial matters to his subordinates, and he brought the liches to an independent island at the mouth of the Miral River.
Looking at the Mage Tower that looked like a towering tree, he immediately ordered without turning his head: "Let's get started! It's time to make the Arcane Brotherhood history."
"As you wish!"
Vanessa placed one hand on her chest and bowed, then began to cast a spell together with several other liches.
After a while, the magic net in the surrounding environment began to vibrate violently, followed by a dazzling beam of light that directly hit the closed door.
boom!!!!!!
After a deafening bang, the gate and the surrounding solid stone walls exploded instantly, revealing an entrance leading to the inside.
Just as Vanessa was about to release the undead army to rush in and step on all the magic mechanisms and traps, a golden light suddenly shot down from the top of the tower.
A core member of the organization didn't have time to dodge and was hit on the spot. His whole body began to disintegrate under the influence of the astonishing negative energy.
In just a few seconds, it turned into a pile of lifeless dust.
"Damn it! What kind of spell is this?" Jeffrey's eyes immediately revealed a strong fear.
He couldn't believe that the Arcane Brotherhood actually had such a hidden card.
"Don't panic! There's no need to be afraid! Don't forget, we are all liches. Even if we are killed once, what can it matter?"
Vanessa quickly cast a large number of protective spells on herself and gave reassurance to all the core members present.
The liches, who were a little panicked in the last second, quickly regained their composure in the next second.
yes!
Even if the other party kills me, what can I do?
As long as the life box is well preserved, you can come back again even if you die ten thousand times.
As for Zuo Si, he activated the two magic cards [Meteorites Falling from the Sky] and [Rolling Earth] without any hesitation.
Just as the liches were preparing to use magic to counterattack, they suddenly saw a red spot of light appear in the sky above their heads, and it was falling towards the direction of the wizard tower at an extremely fast speed.
Almost at the same time, the ground began to shake violently, as if something was about to come out.
Out of caution, they quickly retreated to the stone bridge behind the island.
It turned out to be the right decision.
Not long after they retreated to the bridge, the small island below the Mage Tower suddenly erupted with red magma, completely submerging the lower area in less than a few seconds.
Many mages and apprentices hiding inside ran to higher places like crazy.
Although the tower activated some protective programs to reduce the damage that the magma might cause, it was ultimately a drop in the bucket.
However, compared to the magma eruption caused by the [Rolling Earth], the [Meteorites Falling from the Sky] are the real deadly threat.
As the meteorite got closer and closer to the ground, a huge meteorite with a radius of fifty meters was finally completely exposed to everyone's sight.
Anyone who is not a fool knows that once this thing really hits, the mage tower will be destroyed in an instant.
In order to avoid such an outcome, Akelum Grace and the other four tower masters immediately used all their strength to release the [Force Wall Technique] and set up a force field protection barrier at the location that might be hit.
When the meteorite hit the force wall, a loud bang hundreds of times louder than the previous one echoed over the city like thunder.
Boom!!!! The shock wave and air waves generated by the collision alone flattened all the surrounding buildings to the ground.
The flying debris and dust covered the area within hundreds of meters.
After this loud noise, the residents of Luskan realized that their city and the tower of the Arcane Brotherhood were under unprecedented attack.
In the end, the force wall technique successfully blocked the meteorite, but failed to stop the flying rocks.
After being hit by several rocks weighing hundreds of kilograms in succession, one of the spires of the Mage Tower finally collapsed due to severe structural damage.
"Come out! Otherwise, I guarantee that the next attack will directly destroy the entire mage tower." Zuo Si threatened unceremoniously.
Because the positive energy spell just now, judging from its power, is definitely a seventh-ring or even eighth-ring spell, which is simply not something an organization like the Arcane Brotherhood, which has no background at all, can possess.
He was 100% sure that there must be people from other forces in the Mage Tower right now.
Clap! Clap! Clap! Clap! Clap! Accompanied by the sound of crisp applause, the Devil walked out first and praised in an undisguised tone: "You are worthy of being a mortal chosen by Grand Duke Disbart. I am impressed by the power you possess."
"Can you cast magic of this power without using any spells or casting actions? Is this the chosen ability bestowed upon you by the Goddess of Magic, or is it the magical knowledge and technology you brought from another world?" Mansong followed suit and walked out of the darkness.
Xi Manmeng followed closely behind his mentor.
Because he knew very well that in a duel between spellcasters of this level, if he didn't handle it well with his own skills, he would be killed.
The red-robed wizards led by Aznar Sruol spread out in a very strange formation, vaguely surrounding Zuo Si and his group in the middle.
In comparison, the local boss Akelum Grace and his rebellious tower masters were just as humble as the former's subordinates.
After all, they are the weakest of the several forces present. Whether it is the Zhentarim or the Red Robe Wizards, there is at least one legendary wizard in charge.
Behind the lust demon stands a powerful lord of hell.
"So... you guys finally decided to join forces to deal with me?"
Looking at the unprecedentedly powerful enemies in front of him, Zuo Si not only did not show the slightest fear, but instead could not help but laugh.
To be honest, he never dreamed that his stirring up of the situation this time would draw out guys like Manshoon and the Chief Red Wizard, who were always accustomed to hiding behind the scenes and plotting conspiracies.
But it's okay this way.
If he could be defeated or even kill one or two of them, no one would dare to cause trouble within his sphere of influence for a long time.
"Just surrender, young Chosen. Even you can't handle so many high-level and even legendary wizards working together. I swear, as long as you don't resist and cooperate, we won't take your life."
Aznar Sruul began to use his expertise in "communication" again, trying to avoid a head-on fierce magical confrontation.
He had witnessed the power of the silver fire before, so he knew how terrifying and amazing this raw energy from the deepest part of the magic network was.
Once action is taken, there will inevitably be casualties.
If we accidentally kill this precious research subject, all our efforts will be in vain.
"Do you think you have a sure win?" Zuo Si asked with a smile.
Although he had no impression of the other red-robed chiefs except Sazastan, he could judge the identities of the chiefs present by their attire and the number of magic items they wore.
There were about thirty red-robed wizards present, but the only ones who posed a real threat were three chiefs from unknown factions.
Two of them looked like men in their forties or fifties, and the other was a charming woman in her mid-thirties.
Of course, appearance and age are just a reference.
After all, changing age, gender, and race is as easy as eating and drinking for high-level spellcasters.
"We have surrounded you now, and we can ensure that you will be locked and imprisoned at the first moment when you cast teleportation magic."
Aznar Sruul pursed his lips into a smug smile.
But this smile did not last long, he saw Zuo Si suddenly open his arms and open several portals on both sides of his hands.
Before the red-robed wizard on the side could stop or counter, a large number of reinforcements appeared out of nowhere.
These reinforcements include the mind flayers, death-eye tyrants, golems, half-dragon creatures under the Athkatra Mage Tower, super-giant mutant hounds that are always in a state of rage, and the red dragon, Wilmes, who is the leader of this army of monsters.
In addition, the dragon lich Barisrat, who hid in the dark and almost took control of the entire Emerald Society, and the legendary lich Raine, who became the Lord of Symbols, also responded to their master's call and came.
Coupled with the blind eye, giants, trolls, various magical creatures summoned by cards, and several dragons soaring in the sky, the situation was reversed almost in an instant.
When the liches in the organization saw this scene, they immediately gathered together and completed the ritual to seal the surrounding teleportation magic in less than a few seconds.
After doing all this, Zuo Si smiled meaningfully and said, "I'm sorry, it's actually you who are surrounded.
And I have no intention of negotiating or taking prisoners, so please be prepared to fight to the death.
Although I know that most of you already have more than one clone prepared in secret hideouts, there is no practical point in killing you.
But it can give you a clear understanding of me, and you will think twice before making such a decision next time."
As the last word came out, Aznar Sruul and Mansong's faces changed drastically.
But just as they activated the magic items and protective spells, the whole world suddenly turned gray and everyone seemed to be in a state of stillness.
Needless to say, Zuo Si used his ability as the Chosen One of the Goddess of Magic to activate the [Time Stop] that he memorized in his spell-like abilities once a day.
As the most powerful and well-known of the Nine Rings Magic, it is almost the first spell cast by all high-level spellcasters, without a doubt.
The battle between many high-level wizards is to see who can release [Time Stop] before the opponent.
After all, during this period of time, the caster can not only cast a large number of protective spells on himself, but also summon powerful alien creatures to remove the protective spells on the opponent.
In short, although you cannot cause any substantial damage to the enemy during the time stop period, you can do a lot of things to accumulate your own advantages.
But Zuo Si is obviously different from the traditional wizards in Faerun.
He neither gave himself protection nor summoned more powerful alien creatures. Instead, he aimed at the area where the crowd was most concentrated and unceremoniously used the Great Disintegration.
Yes!
You heard it right!
The desperate Zuo Si didn't care how precious and rare the magic items the other party was wearing were. He just wanted to clear the situation as quickly as possible.
You must know that the carrying capacity of the magic network is limited.
With so many high-level spellcasters gathered together, they could collapse the magic network in the surrounding environment at any time.
The moment time stopped, more than fifteen red-robed wizards and members of the Arcane Brotherhood instantly discovered that all the magical items on them, including their robes, had lost their effects.
Some of them were completely scrapped, without any trace of arcane aura left.
"The Great...The Great Sundering? My wand! My staff! My ring! My amulet! No!!!!!!"
A red-robed wizard's ringmaster let out a desperate wail.
After all, his magic equipment was worth at least hundreds of thousands of gold coins, and he had almost spent all his money to get it.
Now, half of them were destroyed after a great rift, and the rest were temporarily suppressed by the effect of the great rift. It is not known when they can recover.
Of course, there were not just one person who screamed in despair, but at least twenty or so.
What's even more terrifying is that the dragons, liches, beholders, mind flayers, giants and other monsters that rushed up shortly after them directly besieged these mages who had no magic items to use.
After several instant super magic spells were used up, they were mercilessly thrown to the ground without even having the chance to chant any more spells.
Some of them were killed, while others surrendered quickly and temporarily saved their lives.
What awaits them will be forced transformation into liches or becoming summoned creature cards.
As for Zuo Si himself, he, together with the two powerful beholders, the Elder Eye and the Blind Eye, the legendary wizard Rain, and the dragon lich Barisrat, stared at the chief of the red wizards and Manshoon, preventing them from making any rash moves.
Especially Mansong, the supreme leader of the Zhentarim, could not believe that the other party had developed such a huge and amazing power without knowing it from him.
Especially the legendary wizard Rain, who looks like a young and beautiful girl because of the use of transformation.
There was no way anyone would recognize her as the Lord of the Symbols who was feared in Calimshan.
In addition, the addition of so many beholders also made Manshoon feel extremely puzzled.
He really couldn't imagine how Zuo Si had established an alliance with these evil creatures.
Could it be Talona, the goddess of poison and disease? The more he thought about it, the more frightened Manshoon became.
In contrast, the reactions of the red-robed wizard chiefs were even more horified.
As the Tour de France instructors they brought with them were killed or captured one after another, everyone realized that they had definitely lost more than they gained.
You should know that the Ring Master is a powerful force among the Red Robe Wizards, second only to the Chief.
Each chief will do his best to train and win over the Tour Masters who are loyal to him, and the number of Tour Masters also determines the status and power of each chief in the parliament.
If all the Tour de France mentors were wiped out, they would be completely at a disadvantage in the confrontation with Sazastan.
"If I say this is a misunderstanding and we should sit down and talk, will you agree to a ceasefire?" Aznar Sruul narrowed his eyes and cautiously tested.
"No, I won't. Because I don't want anything from you except death and awe." Zuo Si refused bluntly.
"Are you sure you want to be our enemy? Do you want to fight to the death?" another chief threatened.
Zuo Si sneered and said sarcastically: "Are you sure you have the courage to fight to the death? If you did, your several foreign expansion military operations would not have ended in failure without exception. So stop pretending here and get ready for a fight. I am looking forward to fighting with the legendary wizard."
After saying this, he winked at his men.
The next second...
The anti-magic force field of the Eye of the Elders instantly covered one of the chiefs.
Immediately afterwards, the dragon lich rushed forward first and completed the dragon wing flap + tail sweep at lightning speed.
The latter didn't even have time to react before he flew backwards and hit a broken wall hard, spitting out a large mouthful of blood with a "wow" sound.
But soon, he activated some spell, ability or magic item, and instantly cast a healing magic on himself.
Then he struggled to get up from the ground and cast the Wall of Force at the fastest speed to isolate the dragon lich that was rushing towards him.
Seeing that the battle had begun, Manshoon and Aznar Sruul began chanting the [Time Stop] spell almost at the same time.
Although Rain and Blind Eye wanted to counterattack, they were too far away and reacted a little too slowly, so they were successfully counterattacked by the opponent.
Just when everything around him turned gray, Mansong was surprised to find that Zuo Si was not affected at all and was in the same super-fast time flow as himself.
So before he could even cast another nine-ring magic [Gate to Another World], he saw the other party rushing towards him with a strangely shaped sword in his hand.
There was no time to think! Mansong immediately activated the short-distance teleportation magic, creating a relatively safe distance, and asked loudly in shock: "How could you not be affected by the time stop?"
"Have you forgotten that I am the chosen one of the Goddess of Magic? When I get the ninth-ring spell slot, I can naturally choose a ninth-ring spell to be immune to. So time stop has no effect on me, and it will make you lose the assistance of your allies. Now, let me see if you can withstand my attack in this short period of ten seconds to half a minute."
Before he finished speaking!
The weapon in Zuo Si's hand suddenly released a beam of light composed entirely of energy, whose length reached an astonishing ten meters.
Mansong was unable to dodge and was hit in the thigh by the beam of light.
In the blink of an eye, the energy severely burned large areas of skin and muscles.
The robe even showed signs of collapse and disintegration under the erosion of energy.
"Pure magic damage? Divine weapon!"
After realizing how dangerous his opponent's weapon was, Mansong felt his scalp tingling.
He finally realized why the young man in front of him always looked so fearless.
Because the other party has many more cards up his sleeve than he imagined.
"That's right, pure magical energy damage. This means that force field protection magic like force wall will not work at all. And energy protection will quickly collapse under continuous attacks. What's more, under the effect of time stop, no spell can take effect immediately. This means that you must rely on the staff and dagger in your hand to fight me in close combat."
As he spoke, a chilling smile appeared on Zuo Si's face.
This was also the most important reason why he gave up the Great Disintegration and chose Time Stop when he decided to become spell immune.
Because he believed that among all the spellcasters, he must be the one with the strongest close combat ability.
Especially since he had a magical weapon of astonishing power in his hand, he could easily kill a powerful legendary wizard in the ten seconds to half a minute when time stopped.
