"Lord Adela, the investigators have sent word that the group of lizardmen are coming soon!"
A middle-aged man wearing armor walked into the hall outside. He took a look at Adil and then reported to Adela.
"here we go again."
Hearing the news, Adela frowned first, then looked at Adil who was standing aside: "Sir Adier, do you want to go and see it together?"
"Of course." Adil nodded: "It is also my task to assist in defending the city."
They said a few words and then walked outside.
On the narrow and dilapidated city wall, the cold wind was blowing ragingly.
It was not until several hours later that some figures appeared outside.
They were lizard warriors wearing distinctive green leather armor, generally shorter than ordinary people, holding simple weapons in their hands.
The strength of these lizard warriors is very good. Although they are generally not as tall as human warriors, they are generally much stronger in terms of strength. The skin on their bodies that has not completely degenerated also has good defense. Overall, their combat effectiveness is very good.
However, neither Adir nor Adela took these ordinary lizard men seriously.
Looking at the lizardmen gathering in the distance, they looked back and clearly sensed the mana aura there, and their eyes couldn't help but reveal a hint of solemnity.
"Coming!"
Looking at the scene in the distance, Adela whispered.
A violent whistling sound came from the distance, like insects humming continuously and approaching the place.
After a while, Adil also saw those things clearly.
It was an insect with only four legs that looked like a mosquito. It was covered in red and each head was the size of a baby's fist.
Countless bugs gathered together, squeaking and humming as they flew in the air, vibrating with a low-frequency sound wave that made people feel a little sick.
"This is the swamp blood worm that is a specialty of the Swamp Kingdom. It is full of toxins and it is a bit troublesome to gather them together."
Looking at the sky shrouded in red in the distance, Adela lowered his head and explained to Adil.
He stood on the city wall, and the mana from his body surged out quickly, emitting a black light in front of him and swaying directly out.
The black light rushed to the sky, colliding with the red color formed by the insects gathering, and canceling each other out.
The corpses of bloodworms continued to fall, and they lost their lives immediately after being rubbed by the black light.
There was a whistling sound in the distance, like the sound of arrows piercing the air.
Under Adil's gaze, a light green arrow shot quickly from a distance, with a rich blood color on it. It was obviously not an ordinary arrow.
Adela waved his hand, and a large number of shadow particles were released, forming a curtain of shadow in front of his eyes. They collided with the arrows, and suddenly made a violent explosion sound.
At this time, the other wizards around him also reacted, and their mana began to mobilize, and they each used their own methods to attack outside.
After all, this is a place where a wizard family is stationed. In addition to the head of the family, Adela, who is an official wizard, there are also many apprentices and knights, which are also considered to have considerable combat power at this time.
Coupled with the activation of the defensive witch formation, the city wall was enveloped by the effect of the witch formation, which also brought them many advantages.
roar!
A violent roar came from afar.
Under the gaze of Adir and the two men, from the lizard-men army in the distance, a giant beast with three horns and a length of four to five meters came out, covered with a layer of light yellow scales.
This is a swamp monster, a very ferocious monster in the swamp kingdom, rarely seen outside.
On the back of the giant beast, a lizard man wearing an animal skin robe was standing there. Although he was thin, his eyes were very cold, and he was staring at Adela above the city wall.
"The official wizards of the lizard people, and there are two of them?"
Looking at the lizard man wizard on the back of the giant beast, feeling the message from the distance, Adil nodded, a flash of understanding in his eyes.
In addition to the official wizard on the back of the swamp monster, there are also official wizards' mana fluctuations coming from the lizard men in the distance. It is obvious that there is another official wizard.
Sure enough, not long after, under the protection of several lizardman guards, another lizardman wearing a linen robe and looking much taller than ordinary lizardmen came out. He exuded a powerful aura of mana and was heard from a distance.
Adier and Adela, who were standing on the city wall, felt it clearly.
"These two lizard men are both very strong, and each of them is no worse than me."
On the side, watching the people in the distance gather, Adela also explained: "In the past half month, most of the reasons why this city was able to defend were because of the existence of this defensive witch formation.
I barely managed to hold on."
"But now that Lord Adier is here, we can try to fight back."
Listening to his words, Adil nodded: "No problem."
The number of official wizards on both sides is equal, plus the existence of the guardian wizard array. To a certain extent, Adil actually has a certain advantage.
"Then come on."
Adela nodded, and the spiritual power originally contained in his body slowly escaped, seducing the surrounding energy particles.
He waved his hand, and as the mana on his body evaporated, several shadow fireballs rushed into the distance, directly hitting the lizardman army.
Waves of low roars accompanied by screams kept coming, along with the smell of heat and burning, and the remains of flesh and blood on the ground.
Naturally, the language of the lizard people is not the same as that of humans, and the vocal organs of the two races are different. As a result, the screams of these lizard people sound more like bursts of miserable neighing to Adil.
The next moment, several arrows flew out quickly and shot towards Adela, making an explosion sound on his body.
On the side, another lizard man wearing a linen robe also took the opportunity to rush out. He took out a scepter from nowhere and waved it hard, creating a storm and hitting the city wall directly.
boom!!
The sound of broken flesh and blood came from a distance, making the lizard man wizard stunned.
He subconsciously turned around and looked to the side, just in time to see an afterimage rushing quickly from a distance, and a blood-red scimitar flashed past in his hand.
In an instant, Adier held a scimitar and rushed directly in front of the opponent before the opponent noticed it. He raised his arm high and was ready to chop down.
Boom! Boom!
The clatter of flesh and blood quickly rang out, and when he was about to chop down the opponent, an inexplicable force field appeared, forcefully shifting the direction in which Adier was slashing, and finally slashed at another lizardman apprentice.
, he saw through the scales on the opponent's body in an instant, causing the flesh and blood on the opponent's body to explode.
Adil didn't care about the missed hit, he just turned and looked aside.
In an instant, the lizard wizard reacted, and an ice blade appeared directly in front of him, blowing towards Adil with gusts of cold wind.
Within such a short distance, at the speed of this spell, even at Adil's speed, it would be difficult to dodge.
Feeling the ice blade coming in front of him, Adil waved his hand, and a touch of moonlight appeared on his hand, gradually becoming richer and pressing down in front of him.
The silver light shone for several meters around, and the power like moonlight shrouded the place, colliding with the cold wind in front of him, and gradually offset it.
This is the light of the moon god. It is a spell obtained during the trip to the ruins. It is also the only attack spell that Adier has mastered now. It is very powerful.
The cold wind and moonlight are constantly colliding. Under the control of two official wizards, the two spells cancel each other out, almost covering the surrounding area.
When the effect of the spell disappeared, the land several meters around was completely in disarray. The people who were standing were rushed by the power of the spell and were either crushed on the spot or thrown away. Only Adil and the Lizard Wizard were left.
People are still in a stalemate.
Under Adil's gaze, the lizard wizard in linen robes roared, and the scepter in his hand emitted a bluish light under the support of mana, and a certain spell in it was directly detonated.
"Advanced magical items?"
In an instant, this thought flashed through Adier's mind, and then his body was pushed back violently.
A swamp black air with a strong corrosive aura erupted on the spot, covering the original lizard wizard as well, seemingly trying to trap Adil.
This black gas is highly radioactive. In addition, there seems to be some kind of violent toxin in it. It is even more terrifying when activated by magic power. If it is left in it for a long time, even a formal wizard will not have an easy time.
After understanding this, Adil flashed his figure, rushed past the obstruction of several lizard warriors behind him, and continued to retreat towards the back.
Observing the situation in front of him, he had no intention of rushing forward. He just sensed the breath of the wizard in front of him and prepared to hold the opponent back.
Official wizards are not that easy to deal with. With physical attributes that far exceed those of formal wizards, Adil may be able to defeat the official wizard in front of him if he is willing to pay the price, but it is not that easy to actually kill him.
This is not the ruins of the Elf Emperor whose magic power has been suppressed. Even if he is defeated with the ability of a formal wizard, unless there is too much difference between them, it will be very troublesome to actually kill him.
Adil's mission this time is only to help protect this area, and he has no obligation to fight on the battlefield. Being able to help hold off an official wizard is already considered good, and there is no need to fight with others.
In the distance, on the other side, the battle between Adela and another lizard wizard is still beginning.
The blood light and the cold wind continued to collide. With the blessing of the guardian witch formation, Adela's power pushed down the lizard wizard on the opposite side, firmly gaining the upper hand.
Even so, as time passed, they also fell into a stalemate.
I don't know how long has passed.
When the Lizardmen army withdrew, there were many more corpses on the spot, including both Lizardmen warriors and ordinary soldiers defending the city.
There was a strong smell of blood, and occasionally some surviving swamp bloodworms could be seen lying on the corpses constantly sucking blood, leaving a touch of purple on each corpse.
"This time, it's all thanks to Lord Adier."
Leaving the city wall and returning to the previous hall, looking at Adier beside her, Adela thanked her very sincerely.
"You're welcome, this is what should be done."
A smile appeared on Adil's face, and he spoke politely to Adela in front of him.
Compared with before, after the experience of fighting together on the battlefield, the two official wizards became a little less distinguished, and their speech became much more natural.
After chatting about the current situation for a while, Adier left the living room and was led by a servant to familiarize himself with the surrounding environment.
This city was previously ruled by Adela's family, and there were many complete laboratories in it, which made Adir very satisfied.
Halfway through, walking on the streets of the inner city, a young man suddenly rushed over from the front.
"Bold!!"
Seeing the figure rushing in front of him, the expressions of the two guards in front of Adil suddenly changed. One of them stretched out a hand, grabbed the young man rushing in front of him, and pressed him against the wall.
Only then did Adil see the young man's appearance clearly.
This is a handsome-looking young man, who looks about fifteen or sixteen years old. He is wearing a patched coarse cloth coat. He looks like his family background is not very good.
He was holding a small piece of purple stone in his hand, with a look of deep horror on his face, as if he had seen something terrifying.
It wasn't until he was pressed against the wall by two guards that he realized what was happening. His face that was originally full of fear relaxed a little, and then he realized: "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to bump into you!"
"Let him down."
Before the guards could speak, Adil's voice came from the side.
He looked at the young man and had no intention of arguing with a child.
After hearing Adier's order, the two armored guards looked at each other, slowly released their strength in their hands, and let go of the young man in their hands. Then they walked to Adier's side and prepared to continue leaving.
Not paying attention to this small incident, Adil continued to walk forward accompanied by his guards.
"Huh...luckily I met a good person."
Looking at Adier's retreating back, the young man breathed a sigh of relief and patted his chest with some fear.
As a person with rich experience, he knew how difficult these guards were. If Adier hadn't spoken this time, the outcome would have been really bad.
Before he could react from his fear, he suddenly felt something was wrong.
“It’s so quiet!”
Feeling the atmosphere around him, this thought came to his mind.
Before he had time to think about it, a burning sensation came from his chest, making his eyes widen.
A cold feeling rose up from behind him. Feeling this feeling, the young man showed fear on his face and rushed forward without hesitation.
As if something was chasing behind him, he ran very fast, not slower than some knight apprentices.
From the sight of others, one can see that behind the young man, several black figures are standing quietly, always following the young man. No matter how hard the opponent runs, the distance never changes, and even keeps shortening.
"What to do! What should I do!"
Feeling the cold feeling behind him getting closer and closer, and the increasingly obvious hot feeling in his chest, the young man yelled in his heart, almost desperate.
He rushed forward desperately, and finally saw a familiar figure in a corner.
"What are you doing here?" A gentle voice sounded in my ear, with a bit of familiarity.
In an instant, the young man felt that the cold feeling coming from behind him disappeared, his eyes blurred, and he fell heavily to the ground.
