This bow-wielding ranger wears dark brown armor that fits his body shape, showing a tall and slender figure. There is an armed belt hanging on his belt, which neatly holds small bottles of potions and scrolls. Short leather sheaths are tied to both sides of his thighs.
Sword, quiver on back.
But the most eye-catching thing is the composite longbow in his hand. It is unknown what kind of material the strong bow is made of. It glows an ocher red color under the sunlight. Fine silver runes are engraved on the arms of the bow, and there is a magical light flowing around it.
fluctuation.
The ranger took out a black iron arrow that was comparable to a short spear, put it on the string, and said to the mage advisor on the city wall: "The Order of the Stars has summoned the Spirit Guard Taylor to come here under the orders of the 'Duke of the Heart'
Help out!"
The loud voice penetrated the fishy wind and overcame the fear. When the mage advisor heard the name "Duke of the Heart", his body trembled. He was the first to react and grabbed the "Fire Wall Technique" scroll. He didn't even bother to say hello and directly activated the scroll.
The wall of raging fire sealed the city gate, and the tongues of fire ignited the grease attached to the outer wall. A large flame stretched across the outside of the wall, and the blazing heat kept out the murlocs who were accustomed to living underwater.
At this time, the purple-blue hammerclaw shrimp slowly moved its heavy and hard body. Some blue blood flowed out of the gap in the carapace penetrated by the black iron arrow, but it was still not dead. It turned around and tried to destroy the city wall.
"So tenacious."
Taylor, who was standing on the top of the building, was a little surprised. The composite longbow in his hand was made by Chief Priest Sandori from a special tree near a magic spring. He then molded it with the blessing of soul spells and soaked it with alchemical potions for reinforcement.
Finally, Teacher Olanso used astral bodies to carve spiritual talismans, and the arrows he fired had the effect of fourth-level magical weapons.
Most archers cannot draw this composite longbow, unless they are high-level warriors who are proficient in archery and have amazing arm strength. And Taylor also needs to use his own guardians to summon the generals into shape, which greatly increases his strength. Not only can he use the long bow
When fully drawn, it can also activate the magic circle in the longbow, induce natural energy, and add a special suspension effect to the arrow. This can effectively reduce wind resistance, increase the shooting range, and even eliminate the "wind wall technique" and "protect arrow"
The obstruction ensures that the arrow can directly hit the enemy.
In addition, the starlight talisman on the longbow can give the arrow a tracking effect. As long as the enemy is still within the range of the arrow, the weak psychic energy can firmly lock on the enemy, which has an effect like a "magic missile".
Not to mention that this kind of magic bow is paired with iron arrows. One arrow can directly penetrate three shield-bearing soldiers in full plate armor. If Taylor uses all his strength to activate the magic circle in the long bow, the arrow range can reach up to two meters.
The terrifying distance of a thousand feet, the power is as powerful as the ballista!
And such a strong bow and sharp arrows can't actually kill the hammer shrimp with one blow. It can only be said that the monsters bred in the sea are indeed different from those on land.
However, Taylor would not give this purple and blue lobster any chance. He set an arrow and opened the bow again. The talismans on the bow arms glowed every inch, and the magic circle inside kept running. The colorless wind was gathered in front of the arrow cluster, forming a
Spiral vacuole.
The bow string rebounded, and all the power was poured into the black iron arrow, turning into a bunch of wind roars, hitting the gap between the hammerclaw shrimp's head and torso carapace. The wind vortex drove the arrow to rotate, piercing the armor and flesh, and tore it apart forcefully.
The rubber-like tough meat membrane under the shell was removed, and the terrifying and pure physical killing power created a large cavity in the body of the hammerclaw shrimp. The arrow drilled into the gap in the carapace, directly tore the internal organs and muscles, and tore off the nerve conductors.
So.
The hammerclaw shrimp's giant claws and jointed limbs twitched unwillingly a few times, and finally it was left with only instinctive movements, and it was completely dead.
Taylor exhaled gently, and the two consecutive arrows made him sweat on his forehead. This was much more tiring than ordinary bow shooting. Not only did he have to coordinate the muscles and bones of his body to activate his internal energy, but he also had to summon the guardian generals and operate the magic circle in the bow. If not
In this case, it is impossible to obtain such powerful power.
"Hurry! Block the city gate quickly!" Taylor shouted toward the city wall. Immediately, the mysterious knights drove the militia down, pushed the body of the Hammerclaw Shrimp to the city gate, and then set up a simple defensive horse.
At this time, the fishman wizard outside the city played the white conch shell again, and many bubbles with colorful shimmers floated out and fell on the surrounding fishman warriors, turning into a thin film of water, like a "group resisting flames"
, and at the same time, the aquatic fish-man's vitality was greatly increased. Regardless of the blazing wall of fire, he rushed towards the gap in the city gate with all his strength.
"Stop! Stop them!" The mage consultant received support. At this moment, his confidence surged, and he shot "magic missiles" at the distant murloc wizard at any cost, forcing the murloc wizard to play the white shell in a hurry to give himself a protective spell.
.
In the blink of an eye, dozens of murlocs rushed into the city gate, climbed over the corpses of prawns and horses, and carrying spears and harpoons, they attacked the panicked militiamen like crazy.
Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!
Several arrows fell from a high place in succession, accurately penetrating the fish-man's head. Standing on the top of the building, Taylor was as calm as a bard strumming the strings of a musical instrument. The arrows in his hand were replaced by ordinary wooden arrows.
This way you can easily kill the berserk murlocs.
"Don't run around! Get in line and raise your weapons!" Taro yelled loudly, and he fired two more arrows without drawing the bow fully, but still pinned a fishman to the wall.
At this time, the mysterious knights on the city wall also launched an attack downwards, killing the incoming murlocs one by one. With the wall of fire outside and the masters inside, they could barely suppress the wave of murloc attacks.
"That fishman wizard is running away! Please Mr. Taylor, stop him!"
Seeing that the situation had changed and the murloc offensive slowed down, the murloc wizard was reeling and seemed to be about to turn around and flee into the sea. Seeing this, the mage advisor immediately asked Taylor for help. He knew that he would allow such a murloc caster to escape into the sea.
, it is really like a fish entering the sea, no matter how difficult it is to chase it.
I saw Taro leaping up, as vigorous as a wild leopard in the forest, and after a few ups and downs, he came to the city wall. Under the instructions of the mage consultant, he locked the fishman wizard at a glance. The monster wrapped himself in a strange bubble.
He fled towards the sea in a panic, and also led the surrounding fish people to cover him.
Taylor took out a heavy and frightening black iron arrow. He recited a spell in a low voice, and then strung the arrow. His muscles all over the body were tense, and his inner strength was extremely strong. The talismans of his bow arms glowed, spinning in a circle. Taylor used this to
What the aperture glimpsed happened to be the murloc wizard who was escaping in a hurry.
boom!
The black arrow left the string, triggering an explosion of wind around it, which made the mage consultant unable to open his eyes. The arrow passed by like a ray of black light, tearing open the space.
The fish-man mage only felt that an unprecedented crisis was approaching. His thinking suddenly accelerated at this moment. He glanced back with difficulty. In the turbid vision, a storm was coming towards him, and the bubble-shaped "seawater shield" was directly punctured.
The black arrow that followed accurately hit one of his eyeballs, and the fishman wizard could even feel how his eyeballs burst and exploded in order to adapt to deep sea life.
And the next moment, the fishman's head was torn to pieces by the huge impact of the black arrow, and a cloud of blood mist exploded!
This time, the murlocs were completely frightened into a panic. Except for a few who were still shouting wildly, the others were immediately overwhelmed by their fear instincts and fled back to the sea in despair. In an instant, they splashed into the sea, splashing countless waves and foam, and fled for their lives.
.
When the murlocs enter the sea and flee with the waves, ordinary people cannot catch up. The killing power of powerful bows and crossbows will also be blocked by the sea water, so no one will take the initiative to pursue the escaping murlocs.
After killing the remaining frenzied murlocs one by one, everyone on the city wall breathed a sigh of relief. The mage advisor asked the Secret Knight to lead the militia down to clean the battlefield, replenish the wounded murlocs, and then take away their weapons.
Murloc's pearl steel is a good thing. Weapons made of this material are not afraid of seawater corrosion.
Only then did the mage advisor have time to talk to Taylor: "Thank you, Mr. Taylor. Without you, we would be in trouble today. I just heard that you were following the orders of the 'Duke of the Heart'?"
Taylor nodded and smiled: "Yes, I followed the teacher to go to the sea and went to the Wildfire Islands to help the Pentagram Tower resist the attack of the fishmen. The teacher is currently with Master Duncan and others. He received the news of the attack on Papami Island.
So he sent me here."
The mage consultant's expression changed with fright when he heard this: "This...'Duke of the Heart' is your teacher?"
Tyro wiped his nose and asked: "What? Not good enough? I really don't know many psychic powers."
The mage advisor quickly waved his hand. He had just seen the long bow and black arrow in the hand of the ranger in front of him, and even the thickened stainless steel carapace of the hammerclaw shrimp was penetrated in one fell swoop. It was himself, with the "high mage armor" on his body.
It probably won't work. Even the dynamic vision can't keep up with the arrow speed. I'm afraid even if I prepare the "any door", I won't have time to hide!
"Where are you talking?" the mage consultant explained: "In a remote place like Papamy Island, the 'Duke of the Heart' is like a god in our eyes. How could we imagine that his students would condescend to come? Mr. Taylor really scares me."
Got it!"
Taylor glanced around, and the low-level mages also approached with wonder. After all, most low-level mages did not have such a strong combat power to win with one blow. Seeing Taylor strengthening his body and using a long bow
The black arrow can defeat the enemy in a blink of an eye. At this time, the mage's pride is of no use.
"Are you in charge of Papamy Island now?" Taylor asked.
The mage advisor sighed and said: "I was assigned here by the Tower of Pentagram. I am responsible for assisting the director of the local trading station and maintaining the communication crystal tower. However, the director used the teleportation scroll to escape when the fishmen raided for the first time.
The way to go."
Taylor sneered and said: "Normally, more than 30% of the supervisors of the trade islands on this route have fled. Five small islands have been captured so far, so except for teleportation spells, it is impossible to organize warships and a large number of manpower to rescue Pa.
It’s Pami Island.”
These words were like a bucket of ice water in the pocket, pouring down the newly raised morale and enthusiasm of the mage consultant and others.
"How could it be...where did these murlocs get their skills from?" The mage advisor could comfort the militia captain with his words before, but now it was his turn to become frightened.
"It would be better to say that we underestimated the power of the marine people in the past." Taylor said: "I heard that there were several types of murlocs in the sea in the past, such as triton murlocs who were good at magic and had human-like faces.
There are numerous sahuagin who are murderous, and there are also kuo-toa who have almost fish heads and fish faces and are extremely slimy.
The ocean area is vast, and there are also large unexplored areas in the deep sea. Almost all murlocs live, breed and distribute. There are also a large number of ethnic groups within different murlocs, and we humans on land can basically not distinguish them... The one we just attacked is
Sahuagin, right? A small island can mobilize thousands of them, maybe these guys are the masters of the ocean."
The mage consultant stepped forward with an ugly face and said: "Mr. Taylor, don't talk about these things here for now. I will take you to the town first and arrange accommodation for you."
Taylor waved his hand and said, "No hurry, I will recover the arrow first, and then take me to the communication crystal tower. I am here this time to install an artifact into the crystal tower."
…
"The land-based locator on Papami Island has been installed."
In an empty hall, an aqua crystal panel hanging high on the wall showed a sea map with a radius of thousands of miles. It clearly showed the Wildfire Islands and ship routes, and the islands that were still connected to the communication crystal tower were marked in green.
Islands that have lost contact and are confirmed to have been captured by the fishmen are marked in red.
At this moment, Xuan Weizi was holding the Shadow Mirror and standing on a high command platform. Next to him was Sir Weston, who appeared in the form of a blue void. Below him were more than a dozen prophecy mages responsible for receiving and sorting out messages.
"It seems that your students are really powerful. One person can repel a large number of sahuagin attacks." Weston made a hollow voice.
Xuan Weizi tapped the dark mirror with his fingertips and sighed: "A person's ability is nothing more than bringing some advantages in small-scale battles. It's not as good as yours, Sir Weston, who can actually win in just two months."
Improved chartplotter for detecting the entire Wildfire Islands."
"Just two months?" Weston said: "Your Excellency Olenso was joking. If I hadn't been hiding in the celestial planetarium all day long and accumulated some experience, I wouldn't have been able to make such a chartplotter.
Moreover, the specific situation of each island needs to be connected to the communication tower to expand the detection range. The heavy investment in the past is the focus, I just did some trivial work."
"Sir Weston is too humble." Xuan Weizi looked back at him.
Xuan Weizi left New Camelot City for nearly two months, most of which were spent sailing at sea. However, before he arrived at Coral City, the capital of the archipelago, the ship was attacked by murlocs at sea, and several battles broke out.
.Relying on the powerful spiritual energy of Xuan Weizi's incarnation, he almost walked a bloody path on the sea, leaving a string of corpses behind.
However, when Xuan Weizi arrived in Coral City, the situation was more troublesome than he expected. With the attack of a large number of murlocs and the assistance of powerful sea monsters and giant siege crabs, many island towns in the Wildfire Archipelago suffered heavy losses. In some towns, except for a few
People escaped with the help of teleportation spells, other residents were slaughtered by the fish-man sea monster, and the town was razed to the ground. Wherever the fish-man sea monster passed, it was riddled with holes and extremely miserable.
At present, in addition to the Pentagram Tower, a large number of mages can only concentrate on defending a few key islands and towns. Like Papami Island, Taro is lucky to come to the rescue!
