Speaking of acting, Kardashian and Roddy had cooperated more than once or twice, so she immediately got into character and used the same southern accent to fight back. At the same time, her magic staff emitted a wave of magic. This level was equivalent to a high-level mage. The strong magic wave was enough to make the other party feel wary, but not afraid.
After she said this, Iscar, Essien, and Stika also seemed to have pressed a switch. Everyone put on the alert that mercenaries should have and held the hilt of their swords in a dignified manner.
Natha, who had been silent all this while, was shocked by the reaction of the group of giant dragons. She opened her mouth slightly and almost let go of the arrow in her hand. When she saw Roddy was clumsily putting the arrow on the bowstring, she realized that everyone was acting. Natha wanted to help, but she quickly realized that she didn't have to do anything and just stood there obediently.
Dewitt and the others didn't know that they had escaped a disaster. At first, they thought that the mercenary group's reaction was a little strange, but at this moment, it was obvious that they knew, so no one thought much about it. Pan Da looked at Roddy who was pulled away by Rubens and frowned slightly. He was measuring the strength of both sides and felt a little strange because he felt that Roddy's face was a little familiar.
As the prime minister, Roddy didn't have a personality cult, but when he held the meeting in front of the Dragon Tower, his photo on the stage was published on the second page of 'Cullen's Era'. Of course, Pan Da and the other members of the Holy Assembly had studied this "nemesis", so he immediately suspected Roddy's identity.
However, after Rody lowered his hat and deliberately changed his demeanor, he no longer had the aura of a so-called 'superior'. Anyone who saw his greasy-tongued manner, coupled with the fact that he was carrying a bow on his back but could not even nock an arrow, would think that he was the Mercenary Leader's henchman who constantly flattered him.
How could this kind of existence be the same as Prime Minister Roddy who stood upright in front of the Dragons?
The others didn't think too much about it, but Pan Da still had doubts in his heart. After staring at Roddy for a long time, the latter pointed at his nose and said, "What are you looking at? Didn't you hear what our leader said? "
"Leader Julia, I am the priest of the Moon God Clan, Pan Da." He ignored Roddy's arrogance and turned to look at Kardashian. "No one has the right of ownership of the ruins. Since we can come here, we can explore with our own ability, right?"
Pan Da's attitude was tough, but Kardashian didn't back down either. "Well, let's fight with our own ability. The winner can continue to explore, and the loser can get out of here."
This kind of wrangling was basically testing the bottom line. After all, no one would really be naive enough to use the "duel" method to solve the problem. In fact, the fact that they didn't fight at the beginning meant that both sides had the idea of "keeping the peace." After all, no one was stupid. If a mage casually cast a spell in a cave like this, it might even cause a cave-in.
At this time, Pan Da had already determined that the group of Wood Elves had stolen the things here. He estimated that there wouldn't be many valuable things here no matter how much they searched. Therefore, he didn't have much intention to continue to stay in the ruins. After seeing that Kardashian was unmoved by persuasion and completely rejected their request to "explore the ruins together", he directly chose to give in. "Well, since we can't come to an agreement, let's each take a step back. From here to the outside area, we will take some things and leave. The inside area … belongs to you. How about that?"
Kardashian's eyes twinkled, and then she nodded and said, "Okay."
She looked like a very calculating mercenary leader. After all, the big bag on Iscar's back was too eye-catching. Pan Da and the others naturally thought that it was the loot from the ruins.
"Lord Pan Da?"
"Listen to me. Let's go."
Dewitt asked reluctantly, but Pan Da waved his hand and decisively left. He knew that the real "wealth" was probably with the Wood Elves. He didn't feel bad leaving the ruins to them.
However, just as Pan Da took two steps back and was about to turn around and leave, a lot of dust and gravel suddenly fell from above. Everyone in the ruins froze for a moment. The dust fell on Dewitt's head, causing him to squint his eyes. "Damn it … why is there still dust here?"
"Something's wrong!"
Pan Da's expression changed. In less than two seconds, everyone could faintly hear the sound of a whistle coming from the corridor behind them. This meant that something had happened to the team outside, and they were sounding the whistle to warn them!
"Retreat!"
He immediately shouted. However, the entire team was well-trained. The few Arcane Warriors who were originally members of the Sacred Assembly turned around and rushed out first, while Pan Da brought up the rear. He left the room with Dewitt and Louis. After confirming that Kardashian didn't make any strange movements, they turned around and began to speed up their retreat.
When the dragons in the room saw that Pan Da had left, Kardashian waved her hand and released a soundproof barrier. She turned to ask Stika, "What's the situation outside?"
"You'll have to ask Rubens." Stika looked at the Black Dragon Herrlöw beside him. The latter pressed his hand on the wall next to him. After a moment of concentration, a strange expression appeared on his face. "There's a group of Wood Elves attacking them from the top of the cliff, and …"
He seemed to be able to clearly see the movements of the group. He raised his eyebrows. "Tsk, tsk. They seem to have dug a hole here long ago. They intend to use the Magic crystal to blow this place up."
His words were calm. It was obvious that Rubens did not take it to heart at all. Roddy breathed a sigh of relief. "Looks like we're right. The Wood Elves in the village have probably mastered some strange magic. This allows them to use the power of the Magic crystal without exploding."
"That's just picking up from others. It doesn't matter." Iscar sat on the stone bench beside him and said with a serious face, "The point is … Essien, how did your illusion get broken by the Divine Art?"
"I can confirm that even the Pope of the Rose Cross Church would not be able to break the level of illusion just now." Although Essien did not say anything, he was carefully feeling the aura of the Divine Art on Pan Da. However, no matter how he looked, he could confirm that the level of the Divine Art was not high. In theory, there was no possibility of breaking through the illusion.
He took off his leather hat, rubbed his bald head, and then rubbed his cheeks hard. He was extremely anxious.
Natha was still pointing her bow at the door. Dust and gravel fell on her arm. The Wood Elf looked up worriedly and found that there was a crack on the stone wall above her.
"What should we do next?"
Kardashian raised her hand and froze the entire roof with an ice spell. Everyone looked at Roddy. At this time, he was no longer as wretched as before. He recalled what Colsius said before and hung the bow on his back. "I have an idea. We can try …"
*****
Outside the cave, the bodies of the mercenaries were already lying on the ground. The Wood Elf Scotch, who was wearing a tattered cloak, raised his hand and blew away the last mercenary who tried to resist. The violent explosion directly blew the mercenary off the cliff. His scream echoed in the valley, but it was quickly covered by the muffled rumbling.
"Quick, dodge! Get out of here! "
Scotch turned around and waved at his companions. He then jumped on the rope hanging from above and quickly climbed up the cliff. A few seconds after they left, the whole ground continued to shake.
A faint blue light came out of a hole on the top of the cave, and then the light turned orange. Countless cracks appeared on the mountain wall. Rocks flew down from the cliff, startled birds flew into the sky, and many magical beasts and animals hiding on the cliff began to climb out.
The Wood Elves who were running for their lives could even see the rocks beside their feet trembling slightly.
Not long after, the trembling finally stopped. Scotch stopped and looked back. Only then did he realize that the mountain above the cave had become much shorter. The "One Line of Sky" canyon below had completely disappeared and was almost buried by the broken rocks.
This meant that the internal structure of the cave had completely collapsed, and the people inside had almost no chance of survival.
