Battle of Stella (5)
The nearby knights blurted out: "It's a trap."
Elena held her chin up and said, "It's possible, but a magic barrier of such a large area would consume a lot of magic power."
Elena first sent people to investigate, and then discussed with the knights for a while. Most of the knights suggested not to go.
Elena asked Tang Ni, one of the three guard knights beside the emperor, "Sister Tang Ni, what do you think?"
Tang Ni said calmly, "They must have some plans. Our main army hasn't arrived yet, but most of the elite troops have already been dispatched. We can't just sit and wait. Qiu Ni's troops should be more than this. We need to test what other tricks they have in advance."
"Yeah, I think the same." Elena nodded and looked at the topographic map obtained from the investigation. She looked at Veronica who was standing motionless beside her, "Veronica, you will take the lead and build an ice wall to block the bullets."
Although the defense-penetrating capability of this insulated bullet is very threatening, the shooting direction is limited due to the camp location.
Veronica nodded grimly.
Elena asked Milia: "How many dragons are there that can be dispatched now?"
"There are five intact ones, including yours. Three with minor injuries. The others have eye injuries which are a bit troublesome and will take some time to heal."
“It takes some time, but it can be cured, right?”
"Um."
"Then I'll leave it to you, Lady Milia."
Elena turned to the knights and said, "First, quickly heal the minor injuries. We will move out immediately. Remember, this time, our goal is to test. If you encounter danger, come back immediately and be careful to dodge. The black-haired wizard and the blond knight are very dangerous."
"We will attack from multiple directions this time. Master Wizard, please help us speed up and reduce our weight. Try to dodge and attack quickly."
At this time, the scout came back.
"Sir! They dragged out a lot of bags of magic stones near those piles."
Elena nodded and asked him to investigate further. She looked around and said, "The damage here is less than expected. The knights below are trying to destroy the magic piles, and the dragon riders above are attacking with dragon fire."
As soon as she gave the order, everyone started to act.
In less than a moment, they had assembled and rushed towards the front line position in Qiunie.
Knights, soldiers and wizards were standing by the magic pole.
The wizard holds his wand in his hand, ready to defend himself at any time.
The knights and soldiers were holding sacks filled with magic stones, but they were all transparent.
A soldier looked at the magic stone which was empty without any magic power and felt strange. He remembered the sergeant's order before and swallowed his saliva. Wasn't that order equivalent to asking him to die?
He looked around at the knights and soldiers and saw that nothing was wrong, and he felt panicked.
However, Levitra did not give them much breathing time.
He soon saw dragons flying from all directions.
In previous battles, knight wizards and snipers stood at the front to block the enemy.
He stood behind and watched, his legs were so weak that he couldn't stand up. Now he was completely stiff.
"What are you doing?!" his comrade beside him shouted, "Get ready!"
The soldier quickly took out a few empty magic stones from the bag. When he looked up, he clearly saw that his classmate's hands were also shaking.
He looked at the magic stone in his palm.
Although he is not a wizard, he at least knows what a magic stone full of magic power and a magic stone without any magic power left look like.
This thing is just an empty shell with all its magic power used up. It's junk.
He really didn't know what the use of this thing was.
However, when he turned over the magic stone, he saw something engraved on the smooth cube-shaped magic stone shell.
He couldn't understand it, but it looked like a spell.
"The flying dragon is coming!!!"
A shadow loomed over his head and he looked up suddenly.
The next second, a scalding heat wave swept over.
"If a dragon comes, throw this thing at it with all your might! Don't ask why! If you want to save your life!"
The sergeant's words rang in my ears.
The soldier threw away the waste in his hand subconsciously.
【It’s a dead end.】
He closed his eyes in despair.
He came to the battlefield with the dream of becoming a hero and being awarded a title, but he died in vain.
But the next second.
Squeak. Squeak. Squeak.
Such sounds penetrate my ears.
The soldier opened his eyes again and saw that the useless magic stone shell had absorbed all the dragon flames.
Not only the dragon rider above, but also the enemy knights, as well as the own soldiers and knights who threw this thing were all stunned.
The Knight Captain yelled, "What are you standing there for?! Pick it up! Throw it back! Quick!!!"
The soldiers immediately squatted down.
They saw the Void Magic Stone, which had absorbed the dragon's flame, emitting a golden-red light, and its surface began to crack.
The soldier stretched out his hand and grasped the magic stone. Even with the gloves on, he could still feel the boiling heat.
The knight threw at the dragon in the sky with all his strength.
Some soldiers who were not strong enough to throw high into the air threw themselves at the enemy knights rushing towards them from the ground.
The opponent's knight used his sword to block it, but the magic stone, which had a tendency to break, was directly triggered by this attack and exploded instantly!
Before the knights could even get close to the magic pole, they were blown away and fell to the ground seriously injured.
Some dragons in the sky were also hit by magic stones and injured.
The soldier's jaw dropped to the ground.
Inger and Alex frowned at the same time as they watched this scene.
Fleming was also shocked and couldn't help asking, "What's going on?"
Inger glanced at him.
There are actually two types of magic storage stones. One is very pure, which is usually artificially purified magic stone. Occasionally, wizards will refine magic to make magic stone. At this time, magic storage magic stone is made by manpower. The other is naturally formed. During the formation process, magic is attached to and deposited in other minerals. After the magic is consumed, it will leave an empty shell of mineral impurities. However, because of the long-term adhesion with magic, these minerals have the special property of storing magic compared to ordinary minerals. This is the actual base of magic storage magic stone. The mined magic storage magic stone ore is basically of this type.
He had absorbed magic power from magic stones many times and realized this.
Later, he collected the empty shells of magic stones that had exhausted their magic power. The magic stones that had been polished would leave their shells more intact. Because they also had magical properties, he could also engrave spells on them.
So it was natural to design this magic stone that absorbs fire.
It is the most suitable for dealing with dragons that like to spit fire.
However, the power of the dragon flame is too strong, and the magic of peace and accumulation is different. Although the hollow shell magic stone can store it for a while, it will soon be unable to bear it, and the structure will collapse and shatter.
But he thought explaining was too troublesome, so he chose to keep silent.
Fleming watched with admiration the one-sided counterattack.
Does this count as using their power to attack themselves?
Seeing how powerful this thing was, the enemy knights did not dare to take it and began to dodge, but the magic stone soon began to explode after falling to the ground, and the dragon fire stored inside rolled out again.
They had no choice but to retreat before they did more damage.
Veronica waved her hand and froze the magic stones thrown at her. Although one or two dragons were injured, they were basically useless afterwards.
She followed Elena's instructions completely and immediately ordered the other dragon riders to retreat to the rear.
The knights below gritted their teeth and retreated, leaving their comrades behind.
Seeing that most of the people were leaving, Alex ordered someone to bring back the prisoner's body.
Because the explosion was more powerful than they had imagined, they were both a little worried.
The wizards quickly dealt with the remaining magic stones and threw them in front of Li Weier's camp.
Of course, Veronica froze it easily.
But the dragon flame still exploded in the ice layer, and ice fragments flew everywhere, injuring many people.
She seemed to be so angry that she was defeated again, and she created dozens of ice spears out of thin air and stabbed them.
All of them were chopped into pieces by Alex and other knights.
But it also bought them time to retreat.
Inger looked at the captives with a sour look on his cheeks; it was truly a tragic scene.
He also hurried with the team to the medical camp.
In the previous battle, some of our soldiers were accidentally injured by the exploding magic stones. This was basically because they did not move fast enough.
He came to the medical camp.
Wounded soldiers were sent in one after another, including prisoners of war and comrades.
Archbishop Vito stood there and began the magic of healing.
And the spell he chanted was actually in English.
Inger looked at him in surprise.
The magic power of an eighth-level wizard is no joke. He healed most people's injuries in an instant.
But some broken limbs are of no use.
Inger rushed forward to help with the treatment.
However, healing the broken limbs required more magic power and time than expected, and the magic stones around him were empty one after another.
The magic power in his body was replenished and then exhausted.
Vito watched him cast the spell quietly.
Since he also used English, Vito probably had already learned some spells and learned how to cast spells from him.
Inger explained to him various words related to bones, flesh, blood, and nerves. Victor had studied medicine before, so he was unfamiliar with them at first, but he soon got the hang of it.
Vito does not have the airs of an archbishop, and now it is the younger Inger who is more like a teacher.
With the efforts of the two, all the patients in the tent were completely cured within a few hours.
The prisoners were taken away in restraints, and the soldiers fell asleep with fear in their hearts. Many of them were in a bad mood.
Vito's physical strength was good, but he was a little dizzy because his magic power was exhausted. However, Inger fainted beside him while standing, and he quickly hugged him tightly to prevent him from falling to the ground.
The high intensity and rapid absorption and output of magic power for a long time is too much for any other knight's body to bear, not to mention that his body is weaker than that of an average person.
Alex had just finished dealing with things outside in the evening. When he rushed over to see what was happening, he just happened to see Vito helping Inger out.
Alex's face turned pale: "What happened to him?!"
Inger's face was covered with sweat. He closed his eyes, turned away and leaned on Vito.
Vito glanced at him, then bent down and picked up Inger. "He's exhausted and out of energy. Where does he live?"
Alex said, "Come to my place."
At night, Alex called together the military officers to discuss the future combat strategy, and then he and Vito stayed by Inger's side.
Uri and Cheryl also came to see him.
Inger began to have severe sleep moaning and developed a high fever in the middle of the night.
The fatigue from the previous few weeks, the sudden change in environment, the drastic emotional fluctuations, and the excessive consumption of magic power and physical strength quickly overwhelmed him.
Vito had no way to cure this, so he could only use magic to relieve his physical discomfort, and then called a doctor to reduce his temperature.
Uri and Cheryl looked at Inger lying down and Alex with his head down, and it was hard to describe the feeling in their hearts.
At this moment, they perhaps understood a little bit why Alex was so strongly opposed to Inger coming.
Today is just the beginning of the Southwest War.
