It had been three days since a certain someone disappeared after saying that he was going to make something. Fen went to teach math for three periods. Of course, no one dared to express their dissatisfaction in front of her, but they still asked when the other person would appear.
It would be a lie if they said that they weren't worried during this time. However, when they opened the door to the lab that said "Do Not Disturb", all they could see was darkness. When they reached in, they couldn't even see their own hands. Therefore, they could only wait for the person to walk out by himself.
However, the worry from before and the worry from tonight were two different feelings. After dinner, the group didn't leave. Instead, they sat at the table and looked at each other. Even the black-haired, brown-skinned girl, who had always been calm, was clutching her clothes tightly. The heart-wrenching pain was indescribable.
"Teacher, is there really no problem?" Hallumi asked worriedly.
As the backbone of the group, Lich put on a confident expression and comforted everyone. "Don't worry, there's no problem. That's what that big mouth promised. It was like that yesterday, and it was like that the day before. As long as that sword doesn't say anything, we don't have to worry too much. Right, Cassette Cutting? "
…
Normally, the sword that loved to talk the most could tell a story if someone asked it a question. Today, when Fen asked a question, there was no response. Therefore, when everyone noticed that the sword was silent, they all looked at the place where it usually stayed … It was empty.
After all, the weapon that was afraid of loneliness always liked to stay in places with people. If it was left alone, it would make a fuss until someone noticed it. Therefore, when it was time to eat, one of the two girls would bring it to the dining room and let it lean against the fireplace. Even if it wasn't allowed to talk, it still needed to feel the presence of people.
Of course, Hallumi didn't forget this today. But … where was the sword?
"Pa!" Fen slapped the table and stood up. "Something's wrong! Everyone, fully armed. Gather in front of the lab and prepare to rush in to save the person. "
Although they didn't know the details, Cassette Cutting was the ultimate weapon. They hadn't seen it do anything other than slashing people.
A certain someone wouldn't go so far as to use the sword as a clothes-drying pole to dry clothes. If he did that, the Cassette Cutting would cut off all the clothes hanging on his body. The meaning of the name 'Cassette Cutting' was that this weapon race would not hesitate to cut off all objects that bound them, such as scabbards, cloth bags, boxes, treasure chests, and so on. Cutting people was just a side effect.
Therefore, when Cassette Cutting was summoned by someone, it would definitely be a critical moment.
Everyone hurriedly ran back to their rooms, put on their armor, grabbed their weapons, and gathered in front of the laboratory in the courtyard.
The two girls were the fastest. As Magic Apprentices, they only had simple robes for protection and did not need to change their equipment. However, they had a wide variety of weapons. The two of them had brought almost all of their belongings with them.
Hallumi brought the World Tree Vine Whip and Stone Slings, as well as the multi-headed flail to make up for the lack of close combat. Kaya, on the other hand, had a magic crossbow and a short sword from an unknown generation. Of course, she also had a handy short wand. Both of them also brought magic guns and enough ammunition.
The four dwarves were slightly slower, but they were also fully equipped with mail armor and shields. Some of them had axes, some had hammers, and some had flails. Jermaine even directly took the electric spear of the peace equipment. This was because the peace equipment had not been fully repaired yet. Otherwise, this group of people would be even slower because it would take them time to dress up. Now, there was no hope. After putting on those clothes, they couldn't even move.
Uzov once again fully equipped himself with the equipment from his adventure. In the past, his role was mainly reconnaissance and he often acted alone, so the weapons and equipment he used were more comprehensive than the average Warrior. The long-range weapons were replaced with the magic crossbow that Hallumi had originally used. The longsword and dagger were still the two that he was used to. Leather armor, small round shield, and magic boots. He had brought all of his life-saving belongings.
The reason why he didn't borrow the rifle that he had used before was that it was only suitable for hunting and guerrilla warfare, and it could only fire single shots. In comparison, the later version of the magic crossbow that Lin had made had a basic function of continuous shooting. Using it made Uzov, who was used to traditional weapons, more at ease. The way to play with the magic rifle was too different for him.
Even Black Dragon Augustus appeared in front of the laboratory unprepared. For a Black Dragon, he himself was a deadly weapon and the best armor. On the other hand, Ezio, who was three or four years old and active, sat on his shoulder. It was better to take a naughty child to any dangerous place and then hold on to him tightly than to let him stay alone.
Fen was wearing a tight black leather suit for battle. There was no extra part for the enemy to grab. The two guns on her feet were rosemary and thyme, but there was only one gun and one sword on her back, celery and battleship Slicing Blade. Her neat short hair and eyes hidden behind gold-rimmed silver-rimmed glasses made her exude a vigorous aura that others had never seen before.
There was also a "person" behind Lich. It was the former Commander of the Dark Army's Praetorian Legion, Shi Dong. His head was still the same head, but his body was a temporary body formed by earth elements. In his left hand was a magic gun, which was originally Fen's sage, and in his right hand was a machete.
Shi Dong had condensed a tall and sturdy body. If someone was here, they would definitely give him an ice hockey mask, and then he would be complete. But now, no one was fooling around. On the contrary, his appearance reassured everyone. What could be more reassuring than a meat shield that was not afraid of death or pain and would charge in front of everything?
Seeing that everyone had arrived, Fen ordered, "Let's go! Drag out that annoying troublemaker and beat him up! "Then, she opened the door of the laboratory and walked straight into the darkness.
After stepping into the darkness, the dwarves' innate night vision did not come in handy, because they seemed to have come to another "world" instead of an indoor room.
As far as the eye could see, it was a wilderness of flying yellow soil. Occasionally, there were a few withered trees, but they were also bare branches without leaves. Black smoke billowed and black smoke covered the sky. A few rays of sunlight tried to penetrate the sky, but after trying their best, they could only make a few gloomy orange lights behind the clouds.
It should be nighttime in the Lost Land. That was why Fen immediately judged that this was not the Lost Land, or rather, the scene in front of her was not in the Lost Land.
Just this apocalyptic scene alone was not enough to cause anyone to worry. But standing in the middle of it, there was an army of armed orcs that filled the pits and valleys. It was a completely different matter.
When Fen and the others set foot on this land, the orcs all turned their heads in unison and looked at the group of uninvited guests. Both sides fell into silence.
The silver bearded dwarf Marit exclaimed, "The door to leave is gone!"
Everyone turned their heads and looked behind them. Sure enough, there was no door. Instead, it was the same vast land that was filled with an aura of death.
Fen was sure that this was not the Lost Land, nor was it the Abyss. It was not even anywhere she had been. It was just that the large group of ugly and stupid orcs in front of her were not much better than her former subordinates. Were they enemies or friends?
Before Fen could come to a conclusion, the orc army was already roaring and raising their weapons to kill.
This saved her the step of asking for a clear stance. With the huge attack range of the Battleship Slicing Blade killing all the enemies in front of her, the battle between the two sides with great disparity in numbers entered a white-hot state.
Long whips were completely useless on such a battlefield. So after Halloumi buffed herself with various auxiliary spells, she waved the multi-headed flail in her hand with all her might.
There were two types of orcs in front of her. One was short and small, and one would be sent flying after being hit by the flail, splattering brain white or blood foam. Mages or magic apprentices buffed with the Potency spell were not opponents that the small and thin enemies could deal with.
But the other type of orcs were tall and large, and their first hit would at most injure the opponent. If they hit the wrong spot, the opponent would still have the ability to fight back. At this time, Kaya, who was protecting her behind, might have used magic to send the orcs flying, or might have used a short sword to greet them.
Magic guns and crossbows had the same weakness in this kind of situation. They were limited by the amount of ammunition. Once they missed, with such a large number of enemies, they would not have time to reload. So the two girls only fought with the weapons in their hands, treating those as emergency measures.
The four dwarves cooperated with Uzov to form a line of defense. They were at a disadvantage because they did not know that there would be a situation like this, so each of them used different weapons and could not form a truly solid line of defense. But they still stood shoulder to shoulder, people to people, and blocked all the attacking orcs outside of the line of defense.
For the smaller orcs, they could not break this line of defense at all. As long as their forward momentum was stopped, the next moment would be the heavy weapons, axes, and long swords that would take their lives. But those tall and large orcs, every time they appeared, they would bring about a few small crises.
Although the silver-bearded dwarves, both male and female, had experience in military formations, it was only used to hunt underground magic beasts. They had never had the experience of a real confrontation between two armies. Every time the tall and large orcs brought about a crisis, it was Uzov who saved the day.
He was a man who could use all kinds of weapons flexibly and had rich combat experience. Although his physical fitness was not as good as the royal family of the dwarves, he still became an existence like a stabilizing needle, making up for every crisis that happened because of the dwarves' negligence. Although he had to exchange injuries every time, he knew that although the line of defense was short, it would only bring about a greater disaster if it was broken through.
There was only one purpose for them to fight so hard, and that was to buy some time and space for the black dragon Augustus.
In the sound of the dragon's incantation, Augustus directly returned to his original appearance. Although one wing was broken, and his hands and feet were disabled, so he could not fly or run. But the remaining half of his tail was still strong, and the biting power of his upper and lower jaws was still terrifying. Not to mention, the weapons of the orcs were unable to leave any marks on the black dragon's scales.
Relying on the black dragon as a mobile fortress, everyone barely managed to maintain this isolated island-like defensive formation in the sea of people.
