"You really don't know what you've done …"
This was said to Doris, but the latter was looking around in a daze and did not pay attention to what Roddy said.
The reason for this was that she found the equipment of these people in front of her unbelievable. Sylvia, Naifei, and Akasha, who had just finished changing, were all wearing robes of the highest quality. As for the rings, necklaces, and those rippling scrolls, they were all extremely precious. Doris was also a mage, so she knew very well how difficult it was to gather a full set of equipment of this level …
On the other hand, the five people in front of him, including Rody, all had extraordinary items on them.
Doris inexplicably felt that it was absurd. Previously, she had always felt that Rody was bragging when he said that he was' rich '. But now, it seemed that just this equipment alone was enough to make him out of the category of' rich '. Even Queen Talia of Eskar could not wear such a luxurious suit!
Now that she thought about it carefully, Roddy had hidden his powerful vehicle puppet, his true personality, and his terrifyingly powerful equipment … Then what he had shown to Lassman and the others was all a facade!
So what else had he not shown up until now?
Before Doris could think too much, someone knocked on the door of the suite. Merlinsera opened the door with her magic power, only to see Houdini standing outside.
"The situation at the pier doesn't seem right. I've used the 'Detect Spell' to take a look. There are too many murlocs … I don't know … Huh? What do you mean? "
Houdini, who was speaking with a solemn expression, finally noticed Doris who was suspended in mid-air. He was startled, but Roddy did not have time to explain to him. He asked directly, "Based on your understanding, how long can the murlocs last if they keep attacking like this?"
"Boom!"
Houdini furrowed his brows and said after a while, "Logically speaking, now that the sorcerers are in position, and with the help of all kinds of control spells, we should be able to suppress this kind of enemy very quickly. However, if the Mage Tower is involved in the attack, it means that the situation is not looking good. The Corun Mill's long-range attack can only be used five times at most, and within these five attacks, the core of the magic circle will have to be changed. Changing the magic circle will take at least half an hour to adjust. So, if the murlocs still haven't retreated after five attacks, I'm afraid we'll have to prepare to retreat."
Originally, Houdini had faith in Lachman's strength. However, after traveling around the Kingdom of Karen, his horizons had been broadened by several levels, so his way of thinking had changed greatly. Based on the results of his own detection, his judgment was already very close to the truth.
Roddy never doubted his men. After hearing Houdini's words, he immediately said, "Retreat! Retreat to the north! Houdini, you're familiar with the roads, so lead the team. "
Houdini nodded, turned around, and went downstairs.
Then, Roddy grabbed Doris and asked, "Your companions are going to pretend to escape in the chaos, right?"
Doris nodded hurriedly. She did not know what fate was waiting for her. Was she going to be left here, waiting to be killed by the murlocs that might invade this place?
However, to her surprise and horror, after a brief consideration, Roddy gestured to Sylvia, "Take her with you!"
"Yes!"
Turning around, Roddy picked up the Dragon Bone Bow and said, "Naifei, stay with Akasha. Don't leave her!"
This was not the first time that Naifei had experienced such a situation. She nodded, held the magic circle stone plate in her hand, and rushed downstairs after Roddy.
The Dragon Lance Knights pulled the warhorses that they had been carefully feeding. Each of them rode on two horses, divided into three teams, and moved forward under Houdini's guidance. Their backpacks were loaded with secondary weapons, and the "rechargeable lances" in their hands were already inserted with crystals. Irwin and the others carried battle shields and axes, and all of them ran with almost zero weight under the buff of spells.
Meanwhile, Roddy threw Doris behind the driver's seat of the "Firebolt" and stuffed two boxes of rechargeable crystals into the reserved storage compartment at the back of the carriage. He also covered the compartment with seven or eight stacked magic circle stone plates. Then, he had Merinthra cast a spell to bind the boxes and "drive" the carriage to catch up with the rest of the team.
When the third ball of light from the Colomier Magic Tower exploded, they filed out of the hotel and headed straight for the north gate!
"What … What's going on?"
On the other side of the street, the three assassins who witnessed everything were dumbfounded. The explosion of the ball of light illuminated the sky, and they saw the equipment level of this team. The metal plate armor that reflected the silver light and magic waves was truly dazzling. What made the trio even more afraid was that … the soldiers in front of them were definitely not wearing luxurious armor.
Just by looking at the tacit changes in formation, they could feel the aura of an elite soldier who had been through hundreds of battles.
"Are they … trying to escape?"
"Have you ever seen a team that is more ferocious in escaping than charging?"
The three assassins looked at each other, and then at the coastline that was filled with red signals after the white light faded. They all realized that the situation was far more complicated than they had imagined.
But they were, after all, a team of assassins who were ready to kill, not spectators. After a brief discussion, the three decided to immediately follow Roddy's team. After all, no matter what, completing the mission was their top priority.
So, Shalda, Ethan, and Bretton quickly stole three horses from the stables of the hotel and followed them.
***
"What's that sound?"
Miranda suddenly asked. Jill, who was beside her, listened and confirmed, "It's the sound of hooves, and there are quite a lot of them."
Evelyn immediately felt that something was wrong. She immediately ordered the male servant beside her, "Go and find out who they are!"
Because the hotel was next to each other, the servant's investigation result was soon found. After learning that "all the envoys from the Kingdom of Karen have left", Evelyn had a look of disbelief on her face. "They ran away just like that?"
Currently, in the entire Duriel, there were no foreign envoys who actually took action to evacuate. Because everyone had succumbed to Lassman's tyranny for too long, no matter how they looked on the surface, they were still afraid of the power of the mages. At this time, they also did not think that there would be anyone who could really threaten Duriel … After all, this was the place with the most high-end combat power in Lassman. What enemy could the floating space tower, magisters, and countless warships not be able to defeat?
The patriarchs of Eiseka were the masterminds, so they knew that they could not be the first to "stick out". But what was with this team of envoys? Did they just abandon Roddy and escape alone?
"Doris … won't fail."
"Roddy can't escape from her palm, so this team probably made their own decision," Evelyn judged with narrowed eyes.
She then waved her hand, sat back in her seat, and raised her wine glass. "Ignore them, what we need to do now is to continue waiting. Come, this glass, to Queen Talia! "
"To the Queen!"
"Boom!"
Outside the window, the fourth explosion suddenly sounded, followed by a violent tremor that had never occurred in the previous three times. The entire hotel shook along with it, and the bottle that was originally filled with wine fell on the expensive camel fur carpet with a thud, causing the three to look out of the window in confusion …
"Oh my Queen, is this … the power of a magister?"
Red vortex-like clouds appeared in the dark sky, and there was a long trail of smoke in the center. Obviously, this was the Level-55 high-grade spell "Great Meteor Spell" that only an orthodox magister could cast!
After this spell, another magister also cast "Meteor Fire Rain". Thousands of meteors whizzed down and smashed into the murlocs that were almost squeezed together on the port. After that, "Cloud Storm", "Arctic Icefall", and other spells fell one after another on the murlocs …
No matter how strong the murlocs were and how strong their attacks were, when faced with the terrifying elemental lethality of the magisters, they finally showed signs of weakness.
"They can't have really blocked it, can they?"
Jill's hand, which was holding the potion bottle, turned a little pale. After all, this was a mission that had been carried out by countless people over the years in Eiseka. If it was blocked just like that, it would be difficult to find a similar opportunity in the future.
More importantly, if the mission was not completed, how would they explain it to Her Majesty Talia when they returned?
"No, Her Majesty Talia told me with absolute certainty … Even if all the magisters of Lessiman were in Duriel, they still wouldn't be able to block this attack."
Evelyn said with absolute certainty. Her resolute look made Miranda and Jill relax a little, but the two of them didn't know that Evelyn was also a little uncertain in her heart. After all, murlocs were only murlocs. Could it be that there were magisters among them?
And if she were to personally take a look at the battlefield, she would find that Jill's guess was really not far from the truth.
At this moment, the port of Duriel had already become a purgatory.
As time went on, the murlocs that climbed ashore became taller and taller, and the power of their charge became more powerful. As a result, ordinary human soldiers were unable to resist or even parry the attacks. Some even had their shields cut in half by the murlocs' frenzied attacks … In the face of this kind of attack, only the Construct Puppets that were constantly arriving could barely block the murlocs.
But the flying parts and continuous wear and tear indicated that the Construct Puppets could not hold on for too long. Fortunately … the magisters' high-grade spells, together with the long-range bombardment of the "Korren Mill" Magic Tower, finally caused a break in the murlocs' charge. The originally densely packed "fish heads" on the surface of the sea suddenly became floating corpses after being baptized by the spells. And through the continuous casting of ice spells, the frozen sea also greatly slowed down the murlocs' advance.
Including the Duriel mages who rushed over spontaneously, there were already more than eight hundred magisters at the port's entrance to Duriel. The quantitative change produced a qualitative change. The battle finally changed from a bitter struggle to a continuous bombardment of spells. The magisters who had gotten a chance to catch their breath immediately began to meditate and rest, seizing the time to recover their magic power.
Everyone secretly heaved a sigh of relief because no matter how they looked at it, the murlocs would not rush into the city.
But just as everyone was thinking about this, the sound of waves suddenly came from the pitch-black night sky. Those with better eyesight looked at the distant sea and suddenly asked curiously, "Why are the waves so big? Is there a tsunami? "
These words made everyone tense up. Immediately, dozens of "Illumination Spells" appeared on the surface of the sea, allowing people to clearly see the rolling waves that were five to six meters high.
But before they could make a follow-up judgment, the constantly crashing waves suddenly became smaller. At the same time, the sea seemed to have started a huge "ebb" in just a few seconds. The floating murlocs' corpses were left on the beach as the waves suddenly receded …
In less than half a minute, the entire beach's water line actually receded by dozens of meters. Everyone looked at each other, no one had seen such a strange scene. But as another "Illumination Spell" was used to illuminate the sky, everyone at the port simultaneously took a breath of cold air!
Only then did they realize that there was a huge object rapidly rising from the surface of the sea. How big was it? Even they could not measure the width of the object in front of them because they could only see a hemispherical body in the middle rising. That posture was like they were witnessing a mountain rising from the sea with their own eyes!
"Hualalala" The sound of water echoed in their ears, but the speed of the "mountain" rising did not slow down at all. Everyone's eyes gradually turned from level to level, and finally, they actually raised their necks to look at the sky …
"What … What is this?"
"Am I hallucinating …"
"Hallucinating? Run! Run! "
At first glance, they could only see a hemispherical "shell" that suddenly appeared from the sea, reflecting the moonlight. The surface of its body was covered with all kinds of barnacles, corals and a mess of sea creatures. Just the height alone was already close to a hundred meters, because most of its body was still in the water, it was impossible to see how wide it was.
But in terms of size, this creature had already surpassed the category of "ordinary sea magic beasts", because it was almost a moving island!
Because of the continuous falling of the giant beast, the noise had completely covered the people's screams of fear and the murlocs of the murlocs attacking again. The mages who were originally at the frontline were also dumbfounded by such an enemy. When they realized that the giant beast was moving towards Duriel City, they immediately aimed all their firepower at it.
But in the blink of an eye, no matter how high the level of the high-grade spell was, it was like a mosquito that crashed into an elephant.
The "Flame Blast" spell's explosion range was more than ten square meters, but for the surface area of the giant beast, it was not even one percent. More than ten mid-grade single-target spells followed closely behind and smashed on the surface. The sound of the spells was not small, but they only cleaned up the barnacles on the surface and did not have any other effect.
But this action angered the giant beast, and a tentacle suddenly stretched out from the mountain-like body and smashed down without warning!
