"Follow up! Keep up everyone! Move quickly!"
"Mage! Stop collecting the corpses of rats and monsters! That is simply not a power that mortals can control! If you dare to bring it back to the surface, I guarantee that the six-person council will take the most extreme measures."
"Thieves! Thieves from the Shadow Thieves Guild! Come and see what kind of trap this is?"
"Be careful! There is an ambush! Everyone is ready to fight!"
"Priest! Divine blessing!"
"Paladin and warriors are at the front with me!"
……
Accompanied by shouts and warnings, an elite coalition of one hundred people composed of various forces in Askatra quickly demonstrated its powerful strength.
There were warriors, thieves, assassins, mages, warlocks, priests, paladins and barbarians with the lowest level of LV14. They were attacked by several six-armed snake demons, dozens of mad war demons, enchanted demons and large quasai demons.
During the ambush, a battle formation was immediately organized in less than a few seconds.
Among them, paladins, warriors and barbarians automatically carry shields and stand at the front and flanks of the team to ensure that demons cannot harm or affect the casters behind.
Thieves and assassins immediately drank the invisibility potion and entered a stealth state, waiting for opportunities to find angles for sneak attacks and backstabbing.
The priest immediately raised the holy emblem in his hand, and first blessed everyone with [Protection from Evil], the most practical and fastest-released divine spell.
Because when dealing with demons or devils, the effect this spell can play may be even more amazing than many fourth-ring or even fifth-ring magical spells.
At the same time, the mages have blessed themselves with protective magic such as stone skin, mage armor, and shield.
In less than seven or eight seconds, everyone completed preparations for the battle.
When the Quasai Demon cannon fodder rushing at the front was about to come into contact with the warriors at the front of the team, the mages took the lead in showing off their power, attacking the demons with magic missiles, hail, fireballs, acid, sound waves and other energy in the sky.
Pour out.
Except for lightning, which demons are completely immune to, there are almost no other forms of energy attacks.
In the blink of an eye, hundreds of Quasai demons suffered heavy casualties under the overwhelming magical attack, and were forced to return to their hometowns in the abyss.
However, the six-armed snake demon who was responsible for commanding the ambush obviously didn't care about this, and still let more Quasai demons continue to rush forward.
As the saying goes, "You have the mace, and I have the Tianling Cap."
The comparison is whether you have more spells or I have more cannon fodder.
In the eyes of high-level demons, the role of these low-level demons is to consume the enemy's spells and physical strength.
So as long as this goal can be achieved, it doesn't matter even if everyone dies.
When the enemy's spells and physical strength are almost exhausted, high-level demons will enter the scene to seal the victory.
The demons relied on such simple and crude tactics to win wars one after another, and also conquered and destroyed material worlds one after another.
After all, the number of demons in the abyss is endless, and even demons that are equally powerful and numerous can be defeated.
"Damn! Those cunning high-level demons are deliberately consuming us!"
Since this was not the first time he had fought against evil creatures from the lower planes, Sir Kaidong understood the opponent's tricks at a glance and couldn't help but curse in a low voice.
"Don't worry, paladin. For senior members of the Masked Mage Guild, this level of spell bombing is just an appetizer." Shane VII said meaningfully.
As a legendary mage with a spellcasting level of thirty-six, he didn't take these demons seriously at all.
For him, there is always only one target that is truly threatening, and that is the secondary abyss lord - Mona Hill.
"Madam, I suggest you be more cautious, because the insidiousness and cunning of high-level demons are beyond the imagination of ordinary people." Kaidong reminded kindly.
But Shane VII shook his head indifferently: "No, Sir, you don't understand what I want to express at all. Just watch, the really interesting stuff will come soon."
The words have not yet been spoken!
The masked mages who were still casting spells stopped all their spell-casting actions and stood in a circle around a gray-robed member at an extremely fast speed.
The latter took the lead in holding up his staff and loudly chanting a hard-to-understand incantation, while the others followed and chanted their own parts at the same time.
Anyone who knows anything about magic will immediately realize that this is a special ritual of joint spellcasting.
Depending on the level of the caster, the number of participants, and the spell slots contributed, the power of the magic released is determined.
If the person responsible for presiding over the ceremony donates a nine-level spell slot, and the number of participants exceeds ten, and each person donates at least a seventh- or even eighth-level spell slot, then the spell effect produced after the magic ceremony ends
It will most likely be a legendary spell.
This is why each caster organization is the most powerful force in Faerûn.
That is a third-rate organization like the Arcane Brotherhood, which has a low average level and does not have a strong backing, but it can thrive in the Northland.
The fundamental reason is that once the number of gathered mages exceeds a certain critical point and the skill of joint spell casting is learned, the power of several or even dozens of mages can be concentrated to deal a devastating blow to the enemy.p>
Under such an unreasonable large-scale magic attack, it is impossible for ordinary human armies to withstand it.
Therefore, most city-states and even countries will not maintain an overly large army. This has no meaning or effect, and will instead drag down the entire country's finances.
Quite the opposite!
They prefer elite armies that are small in number but possess professional ranks.
The army of most cities is maintained at a few hundred to one thousand. The wealthier or expansion-oriented city-states may increase the number to about two or three thousand, but that's it.
On the contrary, the orcs, gnolls, goblins and other creatures who live in forests, mountains and wilderness and are all soldiers, can easily pull out tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands of people.

But the actual combat effectiveness...
Basically a bunch of rabble.
In many cases, as long as their leader is killed, the rest will disperse.
Along with the sound of the mage chanting spells, the magic network in the surrounding environment began to fluctuate violently, and a terrifying energy began to gather above the heads of several mages, forming a huge and dazzling red flame light group.
However, what is amazing is that after absorbing enough energy, this fireball not only did not grow in size, but shrunk sharply, and finally formed a light spot that was hundreds or even thousands of times brighter than the sun.p>
"Close your eyes!"
Xia En VII gave a loud reminder.
The next second...
Boom!!!!!!!!!
This light point flew straight towards the place deep in the sewer where the demons gathered, and then suddenly exploded and released unimaginable heat and white light.
When everyone opened their eyes again, they found that the densely packed quasai demons that had come over like a tidal wave had all disappeared.
Even the six-armed snake demons, mad warrior demons and enchanted demons suffered serious injuries, and even their eyes were completely blinded by the strong light.
There is no doubt that this amazingly powerful magic ritual directly played a role in clearing the place.
"Charge forward! Kill these filthy evil creatures!"
Grand Captain Witheran raised his sword with golden light in his hand and was the first to charge forward.
With the blessing of powerful positive energy, his weapon was like a knife cutting through butter, easily cutting off an arm of the six-armed snake demon.
The positive energy even left large, severe burns on the demon's wounds, causing the latter to scream in pain.
Other paladins, warriors and barbarians also launched a wave of counterattacks against the demons closest to them.
With the help of the priest's magic, they were like wolves and tigers, killing these high-level demons who were almost invincible in the eyes of ordinary people in just one encounter.
Many enchanted devils didn't even have time to use their spell-like abilities before they were torn apart by the swarming human blades.
The Church of the Lord of the Morning, which has always been extremely disgusted and hated towards demons and lower-level creatures like devils, even used the unique positive energy magic given by the gods to smear the demons' faces one after another.
And this kind of positive energy is simply the most deadly poison for chaotic evil demons.
However, just when this elite team of 100 people thought that they had a chance to win and could easily defeat and eliminate the demons that ambushed them, the ground suddenly shook violently.
Immediately afterwards, a giant sea snake with a body as thick as a house emerged from the depths of the sewer with a head and a small body section.
Its whole body is covered with thick red scales that can resist the attack of magic weapons. Its eyes are light yellow like many demons, and its mouth is big enough to swallow all living creatures and is filled with countless sharp fangs.p>
