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 withstand 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.
正当巫妖们准备魔法进行反击的时候，突然看到头顶的天空出现了一个赤红色的光点，正在以极快的速度朝法师塔所在的方向砸下来。
几乎与此同时，地面也开始剧烈的震颤，仿佛有什么东西要冒出来了一样。
出于谨慎，他们迅速撤到小岛后方的石桥上。
事实证明这个决定是正确的。
才刚退到桥上没多久，法师塔下边的小岛便轰的一声喷涌出赤红色的岩浆，在不到几秒钟时间内就把下层区域彻底淹没。
不少躲在里边的法师和学徒都想疯了一样往高处狂奔。
尽管高塔启动了一些防护程序来削弱岩浆可能造成的危害，但最终还是杯水车薪。
不过相比起【奔腾大地】所制造出来的岩浆喷涌，【天降陨石】才是真正要命的威胁。
随着陨石距离地面越来越近，一颗半径为五十米的巨大陨石终于彻底暴露在所有人的视线范围之内。
但凡不是傻子都明白，一旦这玩意真的撞上去，法师塔都会在一瞬间被摧毁。
为了避免这样的结果，阿克勒姆·格瑞斯和另外四位塔主立刻竭尽所能的释放【力墙术】，在可能遭到撞击的位置上设下了一片力场防护结界。
当陨石撞上力墙的刹那，一声比刚才还要猛烈数百倍的巨响宛如雷鸣般回荡在城市的上空。
轰！！！！！！！！！！！ 光是撞击所产生的冲击波与气浪，就将周围所有的建筑夷为平地。
四散飞溅的碎石和尘土更是把方圆数百米之内都覆盖在其中。
整个路斯坎的居民都在这一声巨响过后意识到他们的城市和奥术兄弟会的高塔遭到了前所未有的攻击。
最终，力墙术成功挡住了陨石，但却没能挡住四散飞溅的石块。
法师塔在连续遭到好几块重达上百公斤的石块撞击后，终于有一个尖塔因为结构受到严重破坏而轰然倒塌。
“出来吧！不然我保证下一击会直接摧毁整座法师塔。”左思毫不客气的威胁道。
因为刚才那个正能量法术，光从威力上来看绝对是七环乃至八环以上，根本不是奥术兄弟会这种毫无底蕴的组织能够拥有的。
他百分之百确定，眼下法师塔内肯定还有其他势力的人。
啪！啪！啪！啪！啪！ 伴随着清脆的鼓掌声，欲魔率先从里边走了出来，用毫不掩饰的语气称赞道：“真不愧是被狄斯巴特大公看中的凡人，你所拥有的力量让我印象深刻。”
“不使用任何咒语和施法动作就能放出这种威力的魔法吗？这是魔法女神赐予你的选民能力，还是你从另外一个世界带来的魔法知识和技术？”曼松紧跟着也从黑暗中走了出来。
席曼蒙紧紧跟在导师的身后寸步不离。
因为他非常清楚，在这种等级的施法者对决中，凭自己的水平搞不好就会被干掉。
以阿兹纳尔·斯鲁尔为首的红袍巫师则以一种非常诡异的阵型散开，隐约将左思一行人包围在中间。
相比之下，作为地头蛇的阿克勒姆·格瑞斯和他手下那些发动叛乱的塔主，简直就像是前者的手下一样卑微。
毕竟他们是在场几股势力中最弱小的一个，不管是散塔林会还是红袍巫师，都有至少一名传奇法师坐镇。
欲魔背后更是站着一位强大的地狱领主。
“所以……你们为了对付我而最终选择联手？”
看着眼前这群空前强大的敌人，左思非但没有露出半点畏惧之色，反倒是忍不住笑了。
说实话，他做梦都没想到自己这次搅动局势，会把曼松和红袍巫师首席这样的总是习惯于隐藏在背后策划阴谋的家伙引出来。
不过这样也好。
假如能够将其击败乃至杀死其中一两个，那么在很长一段时间内都不会有人胆敢在他的势力范围内搞事情。
“束手就擒吧，年轻的选民。即便是你，也没办法同时应付我们这么多高阶乃至传奇法师的联手。我发誓，只要你不反抗乖乖配合，我们就不会取走你的性命。”
阿兹纳尔·斯鲁尔又开始发挥自己擅长“交流”的特点，想要避免正面爆发激烈的法术对抗。
他曾经见识过银火的威力，所以知道这些来自魔网最深处的原始能量有多么可怕且惊人。
一旦动手，势必会出现死伤。
要是不小心把眼前这个珍贵的研究对象给打死了，那一切努力可能会将会白费。
“你觉得自己胜券在握？”左思似笑非笑的反问道。
尽管他对于除了萨扎斯坦的其他红袍首席都没有什么印象，但却能通过对方的穿戴打扮和佩戴的魔法物品多寡，判断出在场几位首席的身份。
在场差不多有三十名红袍巫师，但真正有威胁的仅仅只有三个不知道是什么派系的首席。
其中两个外表看起来像是四五十岁的男性，还有一个则是三十五岁上下风韵犹存的女性。
当然，外表和年龄仅仅只是一种参考。
毕竟改变年龄、性别、种族对于高阶施法者来说简直就像吃饭喝水一样容易。
“我们现在已经包围了你，并且可以确保你在施展传送魔法的时候会在第一时间被锁定、禁锢。”
阿兹纳尔·斯鲁尔抿起嘴角露出了得意的笑容。
可这种笑容还没有维持多久，他就看到左思突然张开双臂，在自己左右手两侧连续打开了数道传送门。
还没等一旁的红袍巫师来得及禁止和反制，大量的援军便凭空出现。
这些援军包括阿斯卡特拉法师塔地下的夺心魔、亡眼暴君、魔像、半龙生物，总是处于狂暴状态的超巨型变异猎犬，以及作为这支怪物大军的统领，红龙——维尔梅斯。
除此之外，躲在暗中几乎把整个翡翠结社纳入掌控的龙巫妖巴里斯瑞亚特，成为符记之主的传奇巫妖蕾茵，也回应主人的召唤前来。
再加上使用卡牌召唤出来的盲目之眼、巨人、巨魔、各种魔法生物，以及在天空中翱翔的数条巨龙，局势几乎在一瞬间就反转了过来。
组织内的巫妖们看到这一幕，立刻就在第一时间聚集到一起，在不到几秒钟时间内完成了封禁周围传送魔法的仪式。
等做完这一切，左思才意味深长的笑着说道：“不好意思，真正被包围的其实是你们啊。
而且我也不打算谈判或者接受俘虏，所以请务必做好死战的准备。
尽管我知道，你们大多数人都已经在秘密的藏身之所内准备了不止一个克隆体，杀死你们并没有什么实际上的意义。
但却可以让你们对我有一个清晰的认识，并且下次再做这样决定会三思而后行。”
伴随着最后一个字脱口而出，阿兹纳尔·斯鲁尔和曼松脸色勃然大变。
可就在他们启动魔法物品和防护法术的时候，整个世界瞬间变得一片灰白，所有人都仿佛陷入了静止状态。
不用问也知道，左思利用自己魔法女神选民的能力，启动了每天一次记忆在类法术能力中的【时间停止】。
作为九环魔法中最强大、知名度最高的一个，它几乎是所有高阶施法者起手所最先释放的法术，没有之一。
很多高阶法师的对战，就是看谁能比对手先一步释放出【时间停止】。
毕竟在这段时间内，施法者不仅可以给自己加持大量防护法术，同时还能召唤强大的异界生物，解除对方身上存在的防护法术。
总之，在时间停止期间内虽然无法给敌人造成任何实质性的伤害，但却可以做非常多的事情来积累自己的优势。
但是左思显然跟费伦传统的法师不太一样。
他既没有给自己加持防护，也没有召唤更多的强大异界生物，而是对准人群最密集的地方，毫不客气的施展了大裂解。
是的！
你没听错！
丧心病狂的左思根本不在乎对方身上佩戴了多么珍贵且稀有的魔法物品，只想要以最快速度先清场再说。
要知道魔网的承载能力是有限的。
这么多的高阶施法者聚在一起，随时都有可能把周围环境中的魔网搞崩溃。
当时间停止结束的刹那，超过十五名红袍巫师和奥术兄弟会的成员瞬间发现，自己身上包括长袍在内的所有魔法物品都失去了效果。
其中有些更是彻底报废，再也没有半点奥术灵光。
“大……大裂解？我的魔杖！我的法杖！我的戒指！我的护身符！不！！！！！！”
一名红袍巫师的环法导师发出了绝望的哀嚎。
毕竟他这一身魔法装备，起码也价值十几二十万金币，几乎是倾家荡产好不容易才搞到的。
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 horrified.
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.
