"Such a strong ripple of magic, this must undoubtedly be the work of Border City."
The mages aren’t fools, they know that to create such a strong ripple, a mage is necessary and one who is either of a high level or part of a big group. This situation couldn’t possibly be the result of beastmen city.
Moreover, the relationship between the beastmen city and them has been pretty good recently, so they couldn’t possibly be doing this. Hence, the only ones who could have done this must be from Border City, the one they had attacked before.
No one anticipated that Border City would dare to retaliate so daringly and directly against them.
Du You couldn’t believe his eyes watching the people assaulting them, "Is this the Flame Legion? How come their strength is so weak?"
It’s no wonder Du You thought so, because at a glance, these people were all level 3, mage apprentices, specializing in fire attributes, but their level seemed too low. The only tolerable one was their leader with a level 7.
If this had been the beginning, this level 7 strength would have been ruling class, but now, it’s no big deal, it could only be considered a fairly strong existence.
"Yes, this is indeed the Flame Legion. Even though they seem weak now, after their training is completed, most of them will achieve level 5."
Du You casually replied, "Even a level 5 isn’t very high, actually it doesn’t qualify as anything."
Daniu retorted unhappily, "Are you misunderstanding something? This is legion combat. Do you think all people will be of the same high level? It’s already good enough to reach level 10, normal soldiers are usually only level 2 to 3. Moreover, there is no rank at the early stage."
It seemed that he had indeed misunderstood, Du You suddenly realized that he had misconstrued something.
He has been visiting dangerous worlds a bit too frequently lately. During his previous visit to Gourd Island World, the strength of the natives there was quite average, because they didn’t have a defined division of labor and hence everyone used to do the same tasks all the time.
But it’s different here. Most of the people here were ordinary soldiers, and there was a complete difference in the allocation of resources between them and the upper class.
At that moment, the chief mage also noticed their location, because they didn’t mean to hide at all. The chief mage shouted, pointing in their direction, "Who are you guys? Why do you attack us?"
The chief mage, observing the surroundings cautiously, was worried that these people were just their bait, and there might be other people hiding around, so he dared not fight rashly.
But his worry didn’t apply to the mage apprentices next to him. Once the mage apprentices heard their chief’s words and saw the people hiding on the side, they started chanting spells simultaneously.
One fireball after another was conjured, with flames shooting in all directions. "Don’t cast spells here," the chief mage snorted coldly. But while he was preparing to say something, suddenly sparks fell to the ground.
This disastrously caused the ground to be ignited by the fallen spark, which rapidly spread out the fire. The chief mage, originally planning to say something, swiftly shut his mouth, and in a split second, put his hand into his clothes. The next moment, the flames exploded, completely engulfing everyone.
At this very moment, Xi Qianxue was holding a torch, staring blankly at the sight in front of her. "Haha, it seems we do not need to fight, they buried themselves." Daniu burst into laughter.
Xi Qianxue, expressionless, threw the torch in her hand into the fire. ’Is this considered to be destroying a corpse to conceal a crime?’ Du You wondered.
The fire came and went quickly, accompanied by a large amount of poison fog spreading around, the flame gradually died out. The Flame Legion which was hundreds of soldiers strong, was basically turned into charcoal, or even nothing left.
In the middle, a whirlpool of flames formed without extinguishing, where Du You remembered was the location of the chief mage.
"He truly is a fire mage, what a pity." Du You casually waved his hand and cast the Disintegration Spell.
Three continuous Disintegration Spells, the first one easily disintegrated the surrounding fire completely, the second completely shattered all the magical defenses on the mage, and the third directly hit the mage himself, turning him into fragments.
In just an instant, even without a cry of pain, the mage was already dismembered.
A mage legion named after fire, was wiped out by a big fire even before it was fully formed, it was indeed ironic.
"From the outbreak of the fire till now it’s been less than a minute. It will take the Red Copper Legion about fifteen minutes to reach here. That path is their only way back. Du You, you go and set up the traps, the rest of you, follow me to review and annihilate the remainder. We must rendezvous with Du You within fifteen minutes."
After finishing her words, Xi Qianxue put her pocket watch away and followed Daniu running towards the ruins of the small town.
’What decisiveness and vigor,’ Du You thought, feeling somewhat envious of Xi Xianxue. ’If only I too had such guts and personality.’.
Shaking his head, Du You quickly headed for the so-called only way back. Traps, this is what he was best at. One after another, he set up Mucus Swamps, subsequently, he set up a pile of Ice-fire Explosions around.
These Ice-fire Explosions were not randomly chosen, they were set up after calculating the position using his wristwatch. Even though the wristwatch could not link to the Magic Network here and most of its functions were unusable, it was still good enough for basic location calculations.
By the time Du You finished doing all this, Xi Qianxue and the others had also finished reviewing the battlefield and started running in this direction. Seeing that there was still a bit of time left, Du You swiftly opened the orbs in his hand.
"Really, there are so few." Du You sighed helplessly.
Having a group of four had greatly reduced the loots. Plus most of the mages were only level 3, the level gap was too big, further decreasing the spoils. After eliminating so many mages, Du You ended up with only three orbs.
Three orbs, that was too few. Upon opening the three orbs, other than some Crystal Coins, the only thing left was a Fireball Scroll. It allowed the casting of a fireball, but it wasn’t of much use.
This level of Fireball, even if he stood without moving or defending, and let it hit him, it would not have any effect.
Tossing it into the pile of discarded items, Du You decided to clear it up when he got back. Low-level professionals had a demand for such low-level scrolls, albeit they did not command a good price. Dıscover more novels at 𝕟𝕠𝕧𝕖𝕝⚫𝕗𝕚𝕣𝕖⚫𝕟𝕖𝕥
"Quick, look! They are coming." Daniu pointed ahead based on some traces on the road.
Xi Qianxue also put her pocket watch back into her personal space and stared intently ahead. Soon after, soldiers clad in fiery red armor came running out. They didn’t have shields, but the whole person was completely wrapped in armor.
