161. Crossfire
But it is not that easy to evacuate from here now.
The reason is very simple. Although Lance has designed a retreat for himself in advance, the area and timing of the flame eruption are uncontrollable, and the annoying harps, Lance's army has completely fallen into a passive state.
The troops controlled by Lance are not complete now. Considering the issue of personnel transfer after the lava outbreak, Lance deliberately divided all the civilians and garrisons in Feront into four. This arrangement is to effectively use portals and rear routes to transfer as much as possible in the event of disaster.
The advantage of doing this is that it will not be dragged down by the bloated population of Feronte County and can act more efficiently, but the disadvantages are also obvious at a glance. Lance's military strength is restricted, which is one of the major reasons why he chose to withdraw his troops.
The harpies in the sky kept diving down and harassing them, and behind them was a devil's legion that was entangled like a mad dog. Lance only regretted that he was holding the Dragon Corps, not the fierce demon legion of Baron Ankasa, otherwise he would have turned around and killed the other party.
"Young Master, we can't continue like this." Heigang spoke to remind.
Especially when the other party saw Lance's idea of evacuating, the harps who had already rushed to the front to intercept the civilian team turned around and retreated, dived like a hawk and falcon to intercept the Dragon Corps. The troops led by Lance were all cavalry, which were originally a highly mobile unit, but seeing the dense birdmen rushing towards you, constantly flapping their wings and disturbing your vision. It was really uncomfortable to suddenly use their sharp claws to suck your back or the Dragon Corps.
As mentioned before, the harps are not of high level, and their combat effectiveness is far less than that of the Dragon Corps. But because they are flying creatures, it is undoubtedly a very difficult thing to kill them. And if you are blindly distracted by the harps, it will hit their minds, because there is a devil's army behind them chasing them relentlessly.
"This damn birdmen are delaying time!"
"Let's just fight with them. Even if these birds and those strange creatures are not our opponents." Such an angry sound came from the team. In fact, Lance's Dragon Riding Corps was indeed chaotic. If they were in normal times, they wouldn't mind the other party's tricks, but don't forget that there are now a place of slurry everywhere around. If the harp-boss blocked the view and led to the magma, even if the dragon riding just accidentally stepped on it, then this dragon riding would be useless.
As the commander, Lance used his sword to sweep away the harp-bodied banshees who were making trouble in front of him. Unfortunately, the naked and naked banshees surrounded the handsome county chief happily. This was also quite interesting, because there were far more banshees around Lance than others. Of course, it was also possible that they recognized this as the head of giving orders. So they took special care, but unfortunately the fiancée around the county chief did not think so.
The black shadows that broke out kept tearing off the harps and cut off their wings. Then they pierced and killed them with the forest of black thorns. It can be said that the harps gathered on the side of Lance had the most. But he was the one with the least visual and free movement.
The other warriors around him are naturally not as lucky as Lance. Not everyone has a b+-level fiancée by his side. The knights without a backer can only rely on the sword in their hands, but the problem is that this not only wastes time, but also does not kill.
The devils who had been thrown away by the cavalry's speed rushed to catch up again at this moment. After the group of purgatory ghosts and flame supervisors caught up, they naturally fought with Lance and the others madly. The scene became even more chaotic, but Lance discovered an interesting thing, that is, the purgatory ghost's fireball was thrown directly into the harp's crowd.
At first, Lance thought it was a misunderstanding, but later he realized that he was right, and these guys were not from the same group!
"What's wrong with these guys? It seems that they are fighting with their own people?" Many people around also discovered strange phenomena.
Lance immediately thought of a possibility, that is, the harp just wanted to use this underground force to deal with him, but these devil creatures did not make them allies at all, or this group of creatures lacked wisdom and the information between the two was not synchronized.
In short, this gave Lance the opportunity. Since those harps wanted to use this method to deal with themselves, why couldn't Lance use his own way to cure himself?
Some people may say that because the harpies are in the sky, the devil legions are not easy to deal with, and their attention is more focused on the ground troops of Lance and others. However, as long as these harpies land, they will be torn to pieces by the devil legions behind them who do not recognize their relatives.
After thinking about this, Lance began to summon the Spider Queen from his divine thoughts.
The ancient spider's nest can be said to be the most severe part of the magma outbreak of Lance this time, because what Lance got was directly a magic core. Once it was connected to the territory and turned into a nest, it could not be moved. It can be said that this time it was buried by Lance together with the mixed underground passages of Feront County. However, the spider queen and the poisonous spiders produced in the core will not disappear with the disappearance of the nest. Now it was directly sent to the battlefield by Lance as a combat power.
With a plan in his mind, Lance naturally did not delay. He shouted loudly at the Dragon Corps who was tired of fighting: "South 45 degrees, rush over to the maximum speed, Fiona, please help me drive!"
Upon hearing this, Fiona quickly increased the range of magic to the extent that her dark magic application level was level 6, which was exactly the same as Posstulas. Although the effects and damage her magic used in normal times were far less powerful than those of Turas. On the one hand, it was the advantage of the opponent's level attributes, and on the other hand, Fiona deliberately used low-level magic. She had the bonus of the chanting speed of scholars, and she could take action very quickly most of the time. However, it does not mean that she did not understand the use of these advanced magics.
"zay_cara_dazil_touch asr_wayliia." After a not-so-long chant, the harps became obviously in chaos. They even slapped their wings and collided with each other, giving the Lance cavalry a time to breathe.
Time is endless!
"Charge!" Lance saw the opportunity and pulled the reins violently, took the lead in finding a certain direction and rushed out. The other cavalry immediately changed angles and kept up with Lance's pace.
Taking a break from her busy schedule, Lance couldn't help asking Fiona the magic she had just used: "How did you make them lose their composure for a moment?"
I have to say that Lance is also a beginner in the early stage magic, but compared to Fiona, he is too young.
"Deprive your vision." Fiona issued a skill name straightforwardly. Although such auxiliary magic is not very harmful, it is also a veritable advanced magic. Of course, because Fiona's coverage is quite wide and the strength of the magic itself is problematic, the duration of this magic is destined to be limited.
The dragon corps on Lance's side had just shook the harps less than a hundred meters away, and the annoying birds chased after them again.
Fiona turned around and was another magic move: "cardy_kdd_wisbaer_duna."
A sudden earth wall rose from the ground, and tens of millions of harp-bodden banshees could not stop their momentum and directly rushed towards the stone wall. Such a stone wall looked like it had no lethality except for its huge size. However, in line with the current situation, it can be said that many harp-bodden banshees did not die from the wall, but were directly pitted by their companions behind them.
The actual effect of this move was actually greater than all the magical effects that Fiona let go just now. With a glimpse of Lance, he saw hundreds of turtle banshees landing on the ground. Even if they still have the strength to fly again, don't think about it. Because behind a large group of devils, who do not care who is the opponent, rushed over.
Of course, more harps passed the stone wall and chased towards Lance and the others.
Without the maintenance of mana, the stone wall lasted only more than ten seconds. But just this was not enough for Lance and the others to escape.
"Don't worry, just follow me forward!"
In front of them are the woods in the suburbs of Feronte County. Strictly speaking, this place is still a town territory. However, compared with Guruling, the area of this forest is not wide, with sparse trees and few tigers, wolfs and beasts. Lance led the Dragon Corps to rush in with one horse.
But in any case, places like the woods are undoubtedly a flaw for the high maneuverability of cavalry, which requires charging on the flat ground to display their strength. Even if the dragon riding in the abyss is more adaptable to complex terrain than human horses, it is also restricted. However, Lance did not stop at this moment, but instead urged everyone to continue to accelerate.
As Lance's guard and the general head of the legion, Heigang undoubtedly wanted to speak out to remind his master at this time, because this is obviously a mistake that novices make, and Lance hopes to use the complexity of the woods to ask the harp to chase the harp, but he didn't know that doing so would not only slow down their own retreat speed, but those birds floating in the air were actually quite limited in their interference, but Heigang didn't say a word, just followed Lance's ride on the dragon.
At this moment, what else can the soldiers of the Dragon Corps say? They can only bite the bullet and go.
However, when they rushed into the woods, a strange scene appeared.
At first they hadn't discovered it, but when they continued to go deeper, they found that the number of harps chasing them was getting smaller and smaller. When they looked up, they found that they all hit an invisible wall in the air. But what was more shocking than the stone wall condensed by Fiona's magic before was that these birds were all hanging in the air and stopped moving. They flapped their wings, waving their sharp claws, and they seemed to be struggling with all their might.
"Look at that side!" Someone didn't know who shouted, and a huge spider appeared in people's sight.
Its tail was hung with a thread, and it slowly landed next to Lance, waving its furry claws gracefully, as if it was greeting the county magistrate. Those who had just questioned Lance's orders were now all in surprise and could not speak.
It turns out that the county magistrate actually has such a helper hidden! (To be continued...)
