A few days later, the black-armored soldiers still came to attack the Magus Tower. It was unknown whether it was because the insect envoy did not inform them or because they were more confident in themselves. Fortunately, these people were not lunatics. They knew how to attack at night, but to the experts of the Thieves 'Union, night was meaningless. In addition, the mages of the Magus Tower were deliberately showing off their strength. These black-armored soldiers were destined to have a tragic ending.
This ending is very good. At least, I like it very much.
However, this defensive battle was not smooth sailing. There were about 500 black-armored soldiers, and each of them had the strength of a swordsman. According to Seth, their leader, the black knight, was no weaker than a master swordsman. After the initial attack was thwarted, this group of people used something unknown, which caused a green shield to appear on their bodies.
"Anti-magic shield? God of Light, who were these people?”Alice, who was lying on the roof with us and overlooking the battlefield, said in surprise.
"No matter who they are, they have to die today.”It was that cold tone again. Seth looked at the black-armored soldier who had rushed past the magic barrier and suddenly drew his sword.
"Don't be rash!" I pulled Seth and continued,"I think the mages of the Magus Tower should have expected this. Otherwise, these mages would have died long ago.”
As they spoke, the black armored soldiers who had rushed past the magic barrier were stopped by another team. This was a team of pure warriors. They took advantage of the opportunity when the black armored soldiers 'formation was scattered and rushed out from the houses on both sides. They formed a few people into a team and formed a battle formation. They were not greedy and killed one by one.
"I can't just stand here and watch." Seth said in a deep voice as he watched the black-armored soldiers fall one by one.
" Then let's go, we'll go together," I said to Seth, then turned to Alice."Alice, don't go. They all have anti-magic shields.”
"It doesn't matter. I'm a Water Magician. My offensive abilities aren't strong, but my support abilities aren't inferior to a Priest's.”Alice said proudly.
Once the plan was confirmed, we quickly climbed down the roof and arrived at the street where the battle was taking place. Seth found a black-armored soldier who had just broken through the encirclement. He swung his sword and jumped up. With a loud shout, he slashed down at the black-armored soldier's head. When the black-armored soldier heard the shout, he was a little stunned at first. However, when he saw that it was a young man, he laughed sinisterly. He held his sword with both hands and swung it at Seth. Since Seth had jumped down from the sky, there was no way Seth could dodge his sword.
However, his calculations were wrong. An iron rod suddenly pointed at his knee and then stretched in between his legs. It whipped left and right twice and hit his knee again. These two hits made him unable to stand any longer. He directly fell into a straight line.
"Turbulence!"
Alice, who was at the back, cast a spell. A stream of water that seemed both real and illusory enveloped Seth in the air. Seth's figure became even faster. He held the hilt of his sword with both hands and raised it above his head. He looked at the black-armored soldier sitting on the ground and slashed with all his might!
"Pfft-"
From head to toe, it was split in half.
Seth, who had landed on the ground, twisted his waist, turned around, and suddenly flicked the air behind him. A light blue light flew out along with his sword and hit the back of another black-armored soldier who had just rushed out, causing the black-armored soldier to stagger. Before the black-armored soldier could stand firm, a black light had already struck his stomach.
"Bam!"
The black-armored soldier who was hit by the iron rod staggered a few steps back. A sword tip suddenly appeared from his chest. It was Seth's sword. Seth kicked the corpse and pulled out his sword, only to see me fighting with the third black armored soldier.
This black armored soldier was much luckier than the first two because he wasn't ambushed by us. However, that was all because Seth, who had just recovered, had already joined the battle. This black-armored soldier was using a long halberd. This kind of weapon had a great advantage against short weapons such as long swords. Unfortunately, the iron rod I used was also a long weapon. In addition, I had the support of myself and Alice, so I naturally had the upper hand.
"Dang-"
Our weapons clashed once again, and then we both took a step back. This black-armored soldier seemed to have gone berserk. With a low growl, his eyes turned red, and he raised his halberd. He wanted to fight with me again, but I only turned to the left.
"Autumn Sand Rain!"
It was as if a dozen swords were suddenly thrust at him. This was Seth's ultimate move, Autumn Sand Rain. It could instantly release a dozen consecutive stabs. This caused the black armored soldiers to panic and raise their halberds to parry. Naturally, I couldn't let this opportunity slip by. I extended my iron rod and inserted it between the black armored soldier's arms. The iron rod first pushed the halberd outwards. Then, I used the elasticity of the iron rod to ruthlessly hit the black armored soldier's chest. After that, I pulled back the iron rod, twisted my waist, and turned around. I used all my strength to backhand and whip the back of the black armored soldier's head.
"Bang!"
The watermelon shattered.
"After that, we killed the fourth and fifth black armored soldiers. However, we had no choice but to stop after that because the leader of the black armored soldiers, the Black Knight, charged out. We quickly backed away because, according to what was said in that meeting, there was a gift waiting for him that would leave a deep impression on anyone.
The Black Knights charged forward at high speed, showing off their might. Some of the soldiers who broke through the encirclement howled and followed behind the Black Knights. They charged straight at the Mage Tower, ignoring the other soldiers who were still fighting behind them, and ignoring the fact that there were less than fifty of them.
"Boom!"
Just as they were about to reach the center of the city, a violent explosion suddenly appeared under their feet. The red light from the explosion instantly lit up the sky, and broken limbs flew everywhere. The explosion came and went quickly, but the effect was really good. A huge pit appeared at the location of the explosion. Other than the Dark Knight, all the other black-armored soldiers in the explosion disappeared, and the Dark Knight seemed to be seriously injured.
"Ice Seal!"
A few " long-bearded " suddenly appeared and joined forces to cast magic on the Dark Knight who had fallen into the pit. In an instant, the temperature plummeted, and a huge ice cube appeared in the pit. It was the Dark Knight inside.
The leader had been captured, so what was left was a strangling battle. The few of us attacked again and caught a few more. However, after all, our side had a huge advantage. Not long after, these black-armored soldiers were all cleared. The corpses were naturally identified by someone else, and the finishing work was naturally done by others. The three of us naturally returned to Alice's house.
Seth sat on the sofa in silence. I know what he's thinking right now. He had gotten his revenge, but he had also lost his family. Although we had decided to become mercenaries after this, this feeling of emptiness was very uncomfortable.
I couldn't continue to be depressed like this. I started to look for a topic. I asked Alice,"Right, what was that explosion just now? Wasn't the magic shield supposed to be able to resist all magic spells that were lower than Quasi-Forbidden Spells?”
Alice also understood what I meant. She smiled and said," Indeed, the magic shield can resist all spells that are lower than a quasi forbidden spell. However, the problem is that it's not magic at all. It's a bomb created by the alchemists in the Magus Tower. Don't underestimate this bomb. It can withstand a full-powered attack from a mage trainer, and it's not considered magic, so the magic shield is ineffective. The only drawback was that this thing was very expensive. If the materials were not included, it would cost at least 5,000 gold coins.”
"Five thousand gold coins? I remember that Rates 'annual tax is only five thousand gold coins!”Seth said in surprise.
"So, magic is a very expensive thing.”Alice shrugged." Also, the warriors who stopped the black-armored soldiers, other than the followers of the mages, were all hired from the Mercenary Union. Otherwise, where do you think so many Great Swordsmen and above came from? The Magus Tower had spent more than ten thousand gold coins on this battle.”
Seth thought about it and turned to look at me. I quickly waved my hand."Don't look at me. I'm not a mage. We walking nuns are very poor. We only need to make ends meet. Most of the time, our three meals are just bread and water.”
"It's alright." Seth let out a long sigh." Otherwise, I'm really worried that I won't be able to support you. After all, being a mercenary isn't a high-paying profession.”
"You want to be mercenaries?" Alice suddenly asked.
"That's right. We've already taken our revenge, and we still have to continue living. We don't have any life skills, so we naturally have to become mercenaries. Moreover, we also want to follow in our parents 'footsteps.”Seth explained.
"Then…can I participate?”Alice asked tentatively.
" Well…" Seth was a little troubled.
"I say, are you guys imagining us mages to be the kind of young masters and young ladies who spend money like water?”Alice narrowed her eyes and said with a dangerous expression," Yes, I admit that we mages spend a lot of money when we practice and carry out experiments, but this is only when we practice and do experiments. Under normal circumstances, we are the same as ordinary people. Otherwise, there would be no mages who are mercenaries. Besides, what do you think of my cooking skills?”
Thinking about it, it was indeed not bad. Then this person should be able to adapt to the life of a mercenary. He just didn't know if her mother would agree.
" Of course my mother would agree," Alice said with certainty." Because I'm a water mage, my attack power is very poor. Usually, teams with clergymen rarely need me as a water mage, but now I think I've found a good team, and my mother has long wanted me to go out and gain experience.”
Seth and I looked at each other and agreed.
"Alright, then we can set off tomorrow after I settle some matters in the Magus Tower. Oh right, you guys don't have the qualifications to use troops, right? "I've been one for a long time," Alice said proudly.
