Ainphent didn't think much of the Elementalist's yelling. Apart from chanting spells, a Mage should be quiet. Shouting out the name of the spell would not increase the power of the spell. There must be something wrong with his brain.
Fortunately, the magic power of the Elementalists was not bad. More than a hundred huge stone spears broke through the ground and pierced into the sky. These stone spears crisscrossed in a very small area and scattered the 100 heavy armored infantry.
The stone spear was more than six meters long and incomparably sharp. It pierced through the heavy armor of the infantry. At least half of the infantry were pierced through by the stone spear and hung in the air, struggling and screaming.
"Flame totem!"
The Elementalist's voice suddenly became sharp, and a row of three-meter-tall flaming beasts appeared, charging towards the remaining Heavy Infantry.
Ainphent thought to himself that if there was only one Mage in the caravan, it wouldn't be long before he ran out of Magic Strings and everyone would be in danger. This Level-5 Magician's spellcasting speed and lethality were both very strong. The flame totem was as fast as a galloping horse, and in the blink of an eye, it rushed in front of the remaining heavily armored infantrymen. Wherever it passed, the iron armor was burned out of shape, and the fire elemental monster also dissipated.
Under the two spells of a Level-5 Elemental Mage, only a few of the 100 heavy-armored infantrymen remained.
However, these were both Level-5 Spells, and this Elementalist could only release 12 of them in a row. After releasing them, he would need about six hours of quiet meditation before he could completely recover his Magic String. If the conditions did not allow him to meditate, he would need at least a day to recover naturally.
Although Ainphent looked down on Sharman's Mage, his magic was still very effective. His two magic combinations were also quite exquisite. First, he used the Violent Stone Spear to stop the infantry from charging, then he used a large area of effect Flame Totem as the final blow. The first spell was slow to cast, so it needed to be judged in advance. The second spell was fast to cast, so it could catch the enemy off guard.
These two fifth-level spells completely routed the hundred heavy infantry soldiers, and no more than ten of them survived. Using the strongest spell to exterminate the enemy's elites, even if the consumption of Magic Strings was too great, it was still worth it. Elemental Mages were different from Necromancers. Necromancers had powerful summoning abilities and could use the Undead they summoned as cannon fodder to fight with their enemies. Elementalists, on the other hand, had to use their strongest attacks to directly hit the enemy's vitals.
What made Ainphent furious was that the Thieves who had been burned to death by the Flame Totems had all turned into charcoal. They couldn't be used to create Corpse Soldiers. If these Thieves were killed by Poison Mist, Ainphent would have a hundred more armored Corpse Soldiers. The Armored Corpse Soldiers were much more powerful.
In the living quarters, Salin heard the explosion of the flame totem, but he was still as steady as a mountain. Nania asked, "Sharman's mage is already using a fifth-level spell. Don't we need to help?"
Nania's suggestion was not wrong. If they went out to help, that Level-5 Mage could take the opportunity to rest and recover some Magic Strings. If a few Mages took turns to attack, the battle would unknowingly prolong.
"Nania, you have to believe in Ainphent's ability. If I hadn't advanced, I might not be his match."
Nania sighed and said, "Salin, you've changed a lot over the past year."
"Is that so?" Salin did not understand why Nania suddenly changed the topic.
"Back then, you were a little Mage. You were careful in everything you did. Now, you are very confident, just like … just like Princess Rex."
Salin smiled. "One thing hasn't changed."
"What hasn't changed?"
"We're still friends, right?"
Nania lowered her head. After a long time, she raised it again and said, "Of course, we're still good friends."
Mages never spoke lightly. If two Mages of similar levels became friends, it would mean a lot. When a Mage's power was stacked together, the effect was not as simple as one plus one equals two. Salin said that she was his friend. In that case, if Salin built a Magic Tower in the future, she could enter it to train.
With Nania's background, unless Rex helped her, she would not have the money to build a Magic Tower. Other Mages would not allow her to enter the Magic Tower to train either. Salin's words today made Nania feel much better.
"Let's continue." In Salin's hands, dozens of pearl-sized Water Shield floated, constantly spinning and changing. On the surface of those small Water Shield, there were light green magic patterns that were also changing constantly.
"If the Water Ripple Shield is reduced in size, its defense will be strengthened. As long as you can calculate the enemy's attack route, this is also a life-saving measure." Salin demonstrated while explaining to Nania how to shrink the Water Ripple Shield. The room was filled with the mist released by Salin, and no one could be seen. Sue had long run to the door, watching the battle in the distance with boredom.
There were many enemies, but Sue did not take it to heart. With his strength, he might not be able to win the battle by himself, but if he wanted to leave, these bandits could not stop him at all. Trish hid in the dark and did not make a move. He realized that Sharman was very nervous. She was completely worried about the loss of property. In fact, her guards were very strong. If these bandits did not have any new tricks, they would not be able to win at all.
Salin's reminder, Trish remembered not to risk her life for others.
The location of the camp was very good. One side was against the mountain, and the other side was a road. The bandits had to pass through the road, so there was no cover. Ainphent's bodyguards all hid behind the big shields, holding alchemy crossbows. They did not even consider charging out to fight the enemy.
The bandits' leaders outside the camp were very anxious. This camp was so difficult to attack, it was beyond their imagination. A hundred heavily armored infantrymen were gone just like that. With just two spells, they had completely annihilated the elite troops that were attacking them.
"The Black Dragon King is here!" There was a commotion among the bandits in the distance. The ground shook, and suddenly there was a thunder-like sound of horse hooves approaching the camp.
The Black Dragon King was a group of bandits that roamed the border of the Rhine Principality. Scochenya had besieged them many times, but to no avail. No one knew how many bandits there were, but it was said that the leader of the bandits was a dragon knight.
Dragon knights only existed in legends, and real dragons would not be mounts for humans. However, there was still a possibility that a subdragon could be subdued by humans.
If there was a Bramble Dragon or a Copper Armored Dragon as a mount, it would also be very terrifying.
The sound of horse hooves immediately attracted Sue's attention. He turned back into the barracks, came to Salin, and whispered a few words. Salin took out an alchemy telescope and gave it to Sue.
Sue turned around and left the barracks. He jumped onto the roof and used the alchemy telescope to observe. He saw that on the road in the distance, there was a group of cavalry aggressively rushing over. In front of the cavalry, there were three tall, heavy armored knights. These three knights were riding three armored dragons.
The armored dragons were inferior to the Copper Armored Dragons in terms of speed and defense, but they were, after all, level five subdragons. If the barracks were to be hit by the three armored dragons, it would all be smashed to pieces.
On the back of the armored dragon, the heavy armor of the three knights was one with the armor draped over the body of the armored dragon. Su had only seen this kind of equipment in blueprints. There were no dragon knights in the subcontinents either. All the information about dragons could only be found in legends.
These three leaders were at least high-level swordsmen, and could even be quasi-swordsmen. Together with the armored dragons and their magic armor, the three of them had strength close to that of a Black Iron Sword Saint. Behind these three were a hundred heavy armored knights, and their mounts were all armored lizards. Only this kind of level four magical beast could bear the heavy armored knights. No matter how good an ordinary warhorse was, it was impossible to carry a heavy armored knight on a long journey.
Behind the hundred heavy armored knights, there were more than four hundred light cavalry. These light cavalry were only for the magical beast cavalry in the front. These four hundred people were all wearing iron armor, but it was light armor. Its defense was not as good as heavy armor, but it could defend against ordinary arrows.
Such a team of cavalry could completely rob a large caravan.
Sue saw this scene in the alchemy telescope and wondered, "Are the thieves of the main continent so fierce? In the subcontinent, this is definitely more than the combat power of the regular army!"
Of course, Sue didn't know that in the four empires of the Myers Continent, the regular army may not have such magical beast knights. These hundred thieves riding armored lizards were completely equivalent to the private army that a count could support.
These more than five hundred cavalrymen were jogging, and there were more thieves behind them. These thieves were riding inferior horses, and they were not cavalry at all. Generally speaking, only the regular army would let the infantry ride horses to speed up the march. The thieves who attacked Ainphent's caravan at the beginning were typical small groups of thieves. Even if they gathered together, it would be difficult to form a decent cavalry.
Everyone had a mount, and these thieves had to spend a lot of money to get here. Those lizards were carnivorous, and they were more expensive than warhorses.
Some of the impetuous thieves saw that a new force had come, and it was the famous Black Dragon King Thieves Group, so they immediately became spirited. The people who hired them promised great benefits. As long as they could keep this caravan, the thieves here would not have to do business for a year.
The Black Dragon King Thieves Group gradually approached, and Sharman's sorcerer secretly complained. He only deleted the fire element magic, and could barely use a Violent Stone Spear, but it was not enough to deal with these three sword saints. Not to mention the three Sword Saints, even the 100 Thieves riding on the Armored Lizards behind them were all wearing magically enhanced armor.
There was also a great sorcerer hidden among these thieves. Because no matter how powerful a thief group was, it was impossible to enchant a hundred cavalrymen with magic. It could only be temporarily enchanted by a great sorcerer.
"Sir Ainphent!" The sorcerer immediately lowered his posture, walked out of the crowd, and saluted Ainphent.
Ainphent frowned, nodded to the sorcerer, and said: "Don't worry, I will go find Salin for help."
