"Sir Adra, the scouts have sent news that the group of lizardmen is coming!"
A middle-aged man in armor walked into the hall from outside. He glanced at Adil before reporting to Yadra.
"They're coming again."
Hearing this news, Adra frowned and looked at Adil. "Sir Adil, do you want to go and take a look?"
"Of course." Adil nodded. "Helping to defend the city is also my task."
They talked for a while and then walked outside.
On the narrow and broken city wall, the cold wind was blowing.
After waiting for a few hours, some figures appeared outside.
They were lizardmen warriors wearing special green leather armor. They were generally shorter than ordinary people and held simple weapons in their hands.
These lizardmen warriors were quite strong. Although they were not as tall as human warriors, they were generally stronger. Their skin that had not completely degenerated also had good defense. Overall, their combat strength was quite good.
However, neither Adil nor Adra cared about these ordinary lizardmen.
Looking at the lizardmen gathering in the distance, they looked back and clearly felt the magic power aura there. Their eyes revealed a trace of seriousness.
"They're coming!"
Looking at the scene in the distance, Adra let out a low whisper.
A violent whistling sound came from afar. It sounded like insects were constantly humming and approaching.
After a while, Adil also saw those things clearly.
They were four-legged insects that looked like mosquitoes. They were completely red, and each was the size of a baby's fist.
Countless insects gathered together and flew in the air while making low squeaking sounds. They carried a low-frequency vibration that made people feel a little disgusted.
"These are the Swamp Kingdom's specialty, the Swamp Bloodworm. Their bodies are poisonous, and it's a little troublesome to gather them."
Looking at the sky that was shrouded in red in the distance, Adra lowered his head and explained to Adil.
He stood on the city wall, and magic power quickly surged out of his body. A black light was emitted in front of him, and he directly spread it out.
The black light rushed into the sky and collided with the red light formed by the insects, canceling each other out.
Corpses of the Blood Worms fell from the sky one after another. They died the moment they were touched by the black light.
A whistling sound came from afar, like the sound of an arrow piercing through the air.
Under Adil's watchful eyes, a light green arrow flew over from afar. It had a thick blood color on it, and it was clearly not an ordinary arrow.
Yarra waved his hand, and a large number of shadow particles were released, forming a shadow screen in front of him. The shadow screen collided with the arrow, and a violent explosion sounded out.
At this time, the other sorcerers also reacted. They began to mobilize their magic power, and each of them used their own methods to attack outside.
After all, this was a place where a Magus family was stationed. Apart from Adra, who was an official Magus, there were also many acolytes and Knights. At this time, they could be considered a considerable force.
Coupled with the activation of the defensive spell formation, the city walls were enveloped by the effect of the spell formation, giving them quite a bit of an advantage.
Roar!
A ferocious roar sounded from afar.
Under Adil and Yarra's watchful eyes, a giant beast with three horns and a body that was four to five meters long walked out from the Lizardmen army in the distance. Its body was covered in a layer of light yellow scales.
This was a Swamp Giant, an extremely ferocious monster from the Swamp Kingdom. It was rarely seen outside.
On the back of the giant beast stood a Lizardman wearing a long robe made of animal hide. Although he was thin and weak, his eyes were very cold, and he was currently staring at Yarra, who was on the city wall.
"The Lizardmen's official Magi, and there are two of them?"
Looking at the Lizardman Magus on the back of the Swamp Giant and sensing the information from afar, Adil nodded, understanding flashing in his eyes.
Apart from the official Magus on the back of the Swamp Giant, there were also official Magi among the Lizardmen in the distance. Evidently, there was another official Magus.
Sure enough, not long after, under the protection of several Lizardmen guards, another Lizardman wearing a long linen robe, who looked much taller than the average Lizardman, walked out. His body emitted a powerful aura of magic power, and Yarra and Adil, who were standing on the city wall, could clearly feel it.
"These two Lizardmen are very strong, and neither is weaker than me."
Seeing that the people in the distance had all arrived, Yarra explained, "For the past half a month, this city was only able to be defended because of the existence of this defensive spell formation, which allowed me to barely hold on."
"But now that Lord Adil is here, we can try to counterattack."
Hearing his words, Adil nodded, "No problem."
The number of official Magi on both sides was equal, and with the existence of the defensive spell formation, it could be said that Adil's side actually had a certain advantage.
"Then let's go."
Yarra nodded, and the spiritual force that was originally hidden in his body slowly dissipated, attracting the energy particles in the surroundings.
He waved his hand, and as his magic power fluctuated, several shadowy fireballs rushed into the distance, directly crashing into the Lizardmen army.
Waves of low roars mixed with screams could be heard, accompanied by the smell of burning heat and the remains of flesh and blood on the ground.
The Lizardmen's language was naturally not the same as that of humans. The two races had different vocal organs, which caused the screams of these Lizardmen to sound more like miserable hisses to Adil.
In the next moment, several arrows flew toward Yadra at high speed and exploded on his body.
At the side, another Lizardman wearing a linen robe also took this opportunity to rush out. He took out a scepter from somewhere and waved it fiercely, creating a storm that directly crashed into the city wall.
* Boom! *
The sound of flesh shattering came from afar, causing the Lizardman Magus to be stunned.
He subconsciously turned to look to the side, just in time to see an afterimage quickly rushing over from the distance, a blood-red scimitar flashing in his hand.
In that instant, Adil wielded the scimitar and rushed in front of the Lizardman while he was still unaware. He raised his arm high, preparing to chop down.
* Boom! Boom! *
The sound of flesh shattering quickly sounded, and just as he was about to chop down on the Lizardman's body, a strange force field appeared, forcibly causing Adil's attack to deviate slightly. In the end, it landed on the body of another Lizardman Acolyte, instantly breaking through his scales and causing his flesh to explode.
Adil did not care that his attack had missed, and he just turned to the side.
In that instant, the Lizardman Magus reacted, and an ice blade appeared in front of him, accompanied by gusts of cold wind as it swept towards Adil.
At such a short distance, with the speed of this spell, even with Adil's speed, it would be difficult for him to avoid it.
Feeling the ice blade in front of him, Adil waved his hand, and a trace of moonlight appeared in his hand. It gradually became denser and pressed down in front of him.
The silver light illuminated the surrounding few metres, and the power of moonlight enveloped the area. It collided with the cold wind in front of him and gradually cancelled it out.
This was the Light of the Moon God, a spell that he had obtained from the ruins. It was the only offensive spell that Adil had mastered, and it was extremely powerful.
The cold wind and moonlight continuously collided, and under the control of the two official Magi, the two spells cancelled each other out and covered the entire area.
When the effects of the spell disappeared, the surrounding few metres of land had been completely destroyed. The people who had been standing were hit by the power of the spell, and they were either crushed on the spot or thrown into the air. Only Adil and the Lizardman Magus were still in a stalemate.
Under Adil's gaze, the Lizardman Magus in linen robes roared, and the scepter in his hand emitted a faint blue light with the support of magic power. A spell within it was directly detonated.
"A high-grade magic artifact?"
In that instant, this thought flashed through Adil's mind, and he pushed his body backwards.
A black gas with a strong corrosive aura exploded in the area, enveloping the Lizardman Magus as well. It seemed that it was trying to trap Adil.
This black gas had strong radiation properties, and there seemed to be some kind of violent poison within it. After being activated by magic power, it became even more terrifying. If one were to stay in it for a long period of time, even an official Magus would not have an easy time.
Understanding this, Adil's figure flashed, and he rushed past the few Lizardman Warriors behind him, continuously retreating.
Observing the situation in front of him, he did not intend to rush forward again. He only sensed the aura of the Magus in front of him, preparing to stall him.
An official Magus was not easy to deal with. With his physical attributes that far exceeded an official Magus', if he was willing to pay the price, Adil might be able to defeat the official Magus in front of him, but it would not be so easy to kill him.
This was not the Elven Emperor's ruins, where magic power was suppressed. With the ability of an official Magus, even if he was defeated, it would be very troublesome to kill him unless there was a huge difference in power between the two.
Adil's task this time was only to help guard this area, and he had no obligation to fight on the battlefield. It was already good enough to help stall an official Magus, and there was no need to fight with his life on the line.
In the distance, on the other side, Adra and the other Lizardman Magus were still fighting.
Blood light and cold wind constantly collided. With the support of the protective spell formation, Adra's power suppressed the Lizardman Magus, and he firmly held the upper hand.
Even so, as time passed, they fell into a stalemate.
Nobody knew how much time had passed.
After the Lizardman army retreated, there were many more corpses on the ground. Among them were Lizardman Warriors, as well as ordinary warriors defending the city.
Originally, there was a thick smell of blood, and occasionally, a few Swamp Bloodworms that had survived could be seen lying on the corpses and sucking the blood. The corpses were dyed purple in color.
"This time, it's all thanks to Lord Adil."
After leaving the city walls and returning to the hall, Adra looked at Adil and thanked him sincerely.
"You're welcome, this is what I should do."
Adil smiled and spoke politely to Adra in front of him.
Compared to before, after the experience of fighting on the battlefield together, the two official Magi were less distant, and they spoke more naturally.
After discussing the current situation for a while, Adil left the hall and familiarized himself with the surroundings under the guidance of a servant.
This city was previously ruled by Adra's family, and there were many complete laboratories here, which made Adil feel very satisfied.
On the way, walking on the streets of the inner city, a young man suddenly rushed over from the front.
"How dare you!"
Seeing the figure dashing toward them, the expressions of the two guards in front of Adil changed drastically. Each of them stretched out a hand and grabbed the young man who was dashing toward them, pressing him hard against the wall at the side.
At this moment, Adil finally got a clear look at the youth's appearance.
He was a rather handsome youth who looked to be about 15 or 16 years old. He wore a coarse coat that was patched up, and it seemed like his family was not very well off.
He held a small purple stone in his hand, and his face was filled with fear, as if he had seen something terrifying.
Only when he was pressed against the wall by the two guards did he react. His face, which had been full of fear, relaxed a little, and he reacted, "Sorry, I didn't mean to bump into you!"
"Put him down."
Without waiting for the guards to speak, Adil's voice came from the side.
He looked at the youth, and didn't have the mood to bicker with a child.
Hearing Adil's order, the two armored guards took a look at each other, and the strength in their hands slowly dispersed, placing the youth down. After that, they walked to Adil's side and prepared to leave.
Without paying attention to this small interlude, under the accompaniment of the guards, Adil continued to walk forward.
"Hu … fortunately, I met a good person."
Looking at Adil's back view that was getting further away, the youth let out a sigh of relief and patted on his chest with some lingering fear.
As a person with rich experience, he knew how hard it was to deal with those guards. This time, if it wasn't for Adil opening his mouth, the outcome might really be bad.
Before he could react from the lingering fear, he suddenly felt that something was wrong.
"It's too quiet!"
Feeling the aura around him, this thought emerged in his mind.
Before he had any time to think, a burning sensation came from his chest, causing him to immediately widen his eyes.
A cold feeling rose from behind him. Feeling this kind of feeling, fear appeared on the youth's face, and he rushed forward without hesitation.
As if there was something chasing after him, his running speed was very fast, and his running speed was not slower than some knight apprentices.
From the line of sight of the bystanders, they could see that behind the youth, there were several black figures standing in Silence, and they had been following behind the youth. No matter how hard the youth ran, the distance between them did not change, and was even continuously shortening.
"What should I do! What should I do! "
Feeling the cold feeling getting closer and closer to him, and the burning sensation on his chest that was getting more and more obvious, the youth roared in his heart, and he was on the verge of despair.
He rushed forward recklessly, and finally, at a certain corner, he saw a familiar figure.
"What are you doing here?" A gentle voice sounded beside his ear, and the voice carried a bit of familiarity.
