Chapter 458 Powerful Magicians
For the Winged People, this is an unprecedented crisis.
After the War of the Gods, the Winged People hid in the Saint Nia Mountains. Although they were not as isolated from the world as the fairies and elves, they were also very secluded and rarely went out.
The Orcs and the Winged People have been in constant conflict over territory. For thousands of years, the two tribes have been fighting each other on a small scale, and neither can do anything to the other.
However, just four days ago, the Winged People’s outpost in the southern part of the Sannia Mountains was attacked repeatedly by orcs, resulting in heavy casualties.
The Winged People were horrified.
This has never happened before.
In just a few days, the Orcs had accurately located all of the Winged People's outposts, blocked the news, and launched a sneak attack without anyone noticing, forcing the Winged People to lose control of the southern region of the Sannia Mountains.
By the time the news reached the Winged People's settlement, it was too late.
An hour ago, the first stronghold of the Winged People was attacked by orcs.
The Winged People were caught off guard and had to fight urgently.
When they saw the humans standing on the backs of the beasts, they finally understood why the simple-minded orcs were so powerful in using troops and were unstoppable.
The Winged People are an ancient race and naturally know of the existence of the Moldo people.
How could this small tribe that worships the moon goddess Metterlena be mixed up with orcs?
No wonder the orcs have more brains and know how to use tactics.
The Moldos are good at cursing and are even more proficient in divination.
With their joining, the orcs were more powerful and attacked the Winged People's outposts with high precision, and even knew exactly where the Winged People lived.
The Wings were furious, and the three thousand warriors of the First Stronghold fought hard.
However, the orcs were numerous, the Winged People were outnumbered, and without reinforcements arriving, the First Mountain Stronghold was in danger.
Just when they were in a state of panic, the deafening roar of a monster suddenly sounded above their heads.
“Ouch—”
Immediately afterwards, the dangerous aura of high-level magical beasts enveloped the entire battlefield. Both the orcs and the winged people shuddered with fear, and the Moldo people were even more shaken and their souls were shaky.
They looked up in horror and saw a huge fire dragon lizard.
...Is it a Fire Dragon Lizard?
It has horns on its head, scales all over its body, bat wings on its back, thick limbs, and a hooked tail. It looks majestic and intimidating.
Shouldn't the Fire Dragon Lizard live in the Ergoga Desert?
Why does it appear in the Sannia Mountains?
Moreover, judging from the terrifying pressure it exudes, its level is definitely above level nine.
Orcs and winged people often move around in the Saint Nia Mountains and are well aware of the strength of the monsters in the mountains. Over the years, none of the high-level monsters they have encountered can compare with the fire dragon lizard in the sky.
Both sides in the battle were afraid of the sudden appearance of monsters, but the Moldo people did not want to miss this opportunity.
Isn’t it just a high-level magical beast?
Just ask it to leave.
High-level monsters are highly intelligent and know how to seek benefits and avoid harm. As long as you give them enough benefits, you can negotiate terms.
The black-haired man holding the scepter made a gesture and muttered something.
After Farm's grand appearance, he shocked the battlefield and both sides temporarily ceased fire. When he was feeling proud, a strange voice suddenly sounded in his ears.
The sound is very harsh, intended to drive it away, giving it a little benefit as a kind of alms to make it leave.
Who is Farm?
When has the God of Fire's war pet ever been driven away so rudely by others?
Does it lack that little "benefit"?
At that moment, Farm roared, aimed at the orc army, and spewed out a ball of fire from his mouth.
The orc army was caught off guard. All the orcs who were burned by the flames let out shrill screams and were instantly burned to charcoal.
A ball of fire spewed out by the monster instantly killed more than a hundred orc warriors, shocking the entire audience.
The black-haired man's pupils contracted and he blew the bamboo whistle without hesitation.
Enemy attack, alert, enter full-scale battle.
When the orc warriors heard the whistle, they roared to the sky and attacked violently. The bird-like orcs with wings on their backs all took off into the air and besieged the fire dragon lizard.
Seeing the orcs suffer a setback, the morale of the Winged People was boosted. They spread their white wings, flew into the air and fought against the orcs.
However, neither the orcs nor the winged people had time to release their ultimate moves before they were shocked by the magicians on the back of the fire dragon lizard.
What?
There is someone on the back of the monster!
The Light Team had already entered combat readiness mode, each holding up their magic wands and casting high-level magic.
Shu Li instantly released a wind blade, directly hitting the bird-like orc.
The god-level wind blade easily cut off the orcs' wings. Along with screams, blood rained down from the sky. Hundreds of bird-like orcs fell and slammed heavily into the orc army.
"What's going on?"
The orcs on the ground were in chaos, frantically searching for the cause.
The Moldovans knew how to protect themselves and immediately drove the giant beast under their feet back.
The Winged People shouted loudly: "It's the White Mage——"
When the six elements of magic - wind, fire, water, earth, wood and light - fell from the sky, the orc army suffered an unprecedented blow.
These days, under the command of the Moldo people, they have taken the initiative and been invincible. They were about to capture the first stronghold of the Winged People, but unexpectedly, something changed in the middle and a high-level magical beast appeared.
Not only is the Warcraft powerful, but there are actually eleven high-level white magicians standing on its back!
He is also a magician at the level of God of Magic and Saint of Magic!
There are also magic gods and magic saints among the Winged People, but their light magic is simple and their skills are limited. As long as targeted defensive formations and defensive devices are used, the damage can be minimized.
This is also the reason why the orcs broke through ten Winged People outposts in a row.
However, the human magicians who suddenly joined the battlefield caught the orc army off guard.
Multiple high-level spells were cast down, shaking the earth. Even though the orcs had thick skin and flesh, they could not withstand the heavy bombardment. In less than a moment, the orcs were defeated.
The Moldovans are all fragile, and without the protection of the orcs, they are sitting ducks.
The Winged Man had been feeling aggrieved for many days, and at this moment he could finally fight back to his heart's content.
The gorgeously dressed black-haired man realized that the situation was hopeless. A gleam of light flashed in his deep blue eyes, and he blew on his bamboo whistle.
When the other Moldovans heard the evacuation whistle, they did not hesitate to fight. Instead, they jumped off the back of the giant beast with agility and rushed into the woods.
"Don't let them get away!"
The Winged People hated the Moldovans to the core, and when they discovered they were fleeing, they immediately gave chase.
Shu Li stepped on the wind and flew towards the dense forest, instantly casting wood magic.
[Entanglement]
Countless green vines sprang out from the ground and entangled all the fleeing Moldo people.
“Damn it!”
The black-haired man cursed.
"Chief—" the middle-aged man closest to him exclaimed.
The black-haired man's face turned pale as he struggled to hold the scepter in his hand and chanted a spell.
“Hmm!”
A leaf suddenly pressed against his mouth, interrupting his spell.
The middle-aged man was horrified, and the next second, his mouth was also blocked by leaves.
All the Moldos had a leaf stuck tightly to their mouths.
Shu Li and the Elf King stepped on the wind and flew slowly into the forest. They looked around at the Moldo people who were tied up by green vines and smiled brightly.
Very good, we caught them all, not one missing.
Although the Moldovans can curse, they are ordinary people at heart, and if their mouths are shut, they will not be able to cause trouble.
The winged people in pursuit were surprised to see that the two magicians easily captured more than a hundred Moldovans.
Isn’t it too fast?
Without a commander, the orc army immediately became a mess, rushing around without any order, and was quickly defeated.
Half an hour later, the war ended. The open space in front of the stronghold gate was flooded with blood and filled with orc corpses.
The Yi people found their dead comrades from the pile of corpses, with grief on their faces, and carefully carried them back to the mountain village for a unified burial.
As for the orc corpses, after cleaning the battlefield and picking up various equipment, ask the Fire Dragon Lizard to spray fire and burn them on the spot.
Thick smoke billowed from the dense forest, and the air was filled with a foul smell.
Fortunately, Farm's flames were powerful and the burning efficiency was high. Tens of thousands of orc corpses were reduced to ashes. After being washed several times with water magic and turned over by earth magic, everything returned to calm.
As for the captured Moldovans, their weapons and equipment were confiscated, their mouths were sealed, they were tied up like dumplings, and thrown into prison for interrogation.
"Thank you for your help—"
The leader of the first stronghold, led by the winged people behind him, expressed his sincere gratitude to the magicians.
Without their help, the First Stronghold would be lost and the Winged People would be in danger of extinction.
Farmu turned back into a little monster, squatting on Shu Li's shoulder and dozing off boredom.
Shu Li stood side by side with the Elf King and calmly returned the greeting. "You're welcome. It's just a small favor."
The village chief stared at the badges on the magicians' chests with a sharp gaze. He didn't expect that most of them were magic saints, even though they all looked so young.
After the pleasantries, the Yi people warmly invited them to visit the village.
Team Light did not refuse and followed the village chief into a magnificent circular building.
After they sat down, the female Winged People served the guests the Winged People’s unique honey tea.
"Excuse me...are you here to adventure in the Saint Nia Mountains?" asked the village chief.
Countless adventurers have entered the Saint Nia Mountains, but few of them go so deep as to directly reach the residence of the Winged People.
Shu Li exchanged a glance with the Elf King, and without beating around the bush, he said bluntly, "I'm not taking any risks. I'm here to look for someone."
"Looking for someone?" the village chief was puzzled.
Nasha couldn't help but ask, "Excuse me... do you know Siti Esther?"
The village chief was stunned.
Nasha said seriously, "Siti Esther, the princess of the Serex Empire. Over twenty days ago, she went to the Sannia Mountains in search of her uncle. Three days ago, I received a letter from Siti asking for help, so my friends and I rushed here to rescue her."
She clasped her hands nervously, her violet eyes staring straight at the village chief.
"If you know anything about her, will you please let me know?"
Looking at the girl's pleading eyes, the village chief knew that she was really worried about her companions.
"I know Princess Siti and am good friends with her uncle, Prince Moniemo."
Upon hearing this, the members of Team Light all breathed a sigh of relief.
Great, I finally found it.
However, the village chief's next words made them nervous.
"...Three days ago, their outpost was attacked by orcs, and since then... there has been no news."
"How could that be?" Nasha stood up in shock and asked in disbelief, "You didn't lie to me, did you?"
The village chief said regretfully, "I'm sorry... We also hope that all this is false, but..."
When they received the news, two days had passed. They sent people to check but found nothing.
Shu Li frowned and asked in confusion, "Why did Siti go to the sentry post?"
The village chief spoke gravely, "Ten days ago, a plague broke out among the Winged People. None of the ten villages were spared, and even the chieftain fell ill... To protect the Winged People who weren't infected, Prince Mnemo bravely led three thousand healthy Winged People out of their settlement, accompanied by Princess Siti. As they passed the thirty-third outpost in the north, they were suddenly attacked..."
