As time goes by, the bright sun above our heads tilts toward the west little by little.
In order to survive this sudden disaster, everyone in the convoy devoted all their efforts to the construction of the car array. In just half an hour, a small hill with a radius of only one or two thousand square meters was covered.
Thanks to the joint efforts of people, earth-shaking changes have taken place.
Inside the originally empty vehicle formation, seven or eight medium-sized carriages from the Cactus Caravan were added to form a small circular internal formation. The passages between the carriages were also dug into trenches. The sunken ground and
The total height of the carriage itself formed earth walls with a height of more than two meters.
Among the criss-crossing trenches, there are also hiding holes. These caves, which are buried deep in the ground and communicate with each other, not only provide hiding places for the elderly, weak, women and children to avoid arrows, but also can be used when the outside is breached.
Help the soldiers sneak attack the enemy or retreat safely to the inner formation.
The two caravans had a total of more than 70 guards, who were evenly distributed to each section of the surrounding defensive car wall. They were assisted by about an equal number of coachmen, caravan clerks and young men selected from civilians. They were in groups of six.
.Three people fought in close quarters with shields, and the other three supported them with bows and crossbows.
The mercenaries shoulder the responsibility of support. Except for the shooters on the three guard towers and the nine armor-piercing crossbows, they are not fixed at a certain position in the vehicle formation. They go where the most danger is. Their martial arts
and rich experience can help stabilize the defense line.
In addition to these, the team also has a reserve team.
The reserve team is the most powerful force in the convoy. Its members include the guard captain Jinson, the captain of the Thorn Squadron Musi, the captain of the Fierce Light Squadron Alder, and the two freedom knights hired by Fergus, Roy, Maler, and Yi
Fan, Sanjie, Lingshuang Lingxue and other six students.
This list of seventeen people made even the most pessimistic people feel refreshed. Only then did everyone realize that there were so many powerful people hiding in the caravan.
Needless to say, Ivan. Not to mention in the caravan, even in the castle of the great knights or the great nobles, the status of a just knight is extremely respected.
Under Ivan are the three heroes and the two freedom knights. The strength of the three heroes is between two and three stars of bravery. The two freedom knights hired by Fergus also have the strength of one star of bravery. The impact of the five brave knights can definitely
Make any enemy in front of you tremble.
Coupled with the equally powerful Jin Sen, Musi, Alder and six students including a magician, the reserve team's lineup is unprecedentedly luxurious. With them behind them, everyone suddenly feels mentally supported and alive.
The hope of going down became brighter again.
However, people don't know that whether it is a reinforced vehicle formation or a luxurious reserve team lineup, it is actually just the outermost shell of the entire defense system.
Under this layer of the shell, there is another layer of stronger shell. It is being built quietly in the eager anticipation of the caravan's top brass. That is the real defense core of this mountain.
Magic pattern array!
In the center of the car array, a cactus caravan carriage stood quietly. The heavy hood was lowered, covering the carriage tightly and blocking everyone's eyes. All the waiting people could see was the carriage.
There were remaining marks from axes and black and purple blood.
In front of the carriage, a group of caravan executives were waiting quietly. Every few minutes, everyone's eyes would fall on the carriage's hood, and their anxious eyes seemed to pierce the tarpaulin!
The carriage formation was very small, with only twenty or thirty carriages and one or two hundred people in total. These leaders had always been the object of everyone's reliance and the focus of attention. Therefore, when they stood in front of the carriage and waited anxiously, the people around them
The passage and the earthen walls were also crowded with curious people.
Even the mercenaries and guards patrolling at their respective posts in the distance did not crane their necks to take a look here, but they whispered to each other and speculated on what was going on here.
Most people's eyes were focused on Fergus.
In the eyes of everyone, the caravan manager, who had remained calm and composed ever since he encountered the bandits, had completely lost his previous demeanor.
I saw him pacing back and forth quickly with his hands behind his back. After taking two steps, he looked up at the carriage. His blazing eyes looked like a hungry wolf circling around the food. It made people involuntarily have a feeling.
I have the illusion that this middle-aged fat man will pounce on me in the next second.
"Mr. Fergus," when Fergus passed by his eyes again, Jem was so dizzy that he finally couldn't help but said, "I said, can you sit down for a while?"
Fergus turned around and looked at Jem blankly, as if he was digesting the brave knight's words. It took him a while before he came back to his senses and said with a dumb smile: "Sorry, sorry."
He patted his forehead, sat down aside, took a deep breath, held his chin and looked at the carriage intently.
But within two minutes of maintaining this posture, he couldn't help but stand up again, spinning back and forth anxiously, not realizing that he was repeating his previous actions.
No one laughs at Fergus.
At least the caravan executives beside the carriage did not. Everyone knew that anyone in Fogus's position would probably worry more about gains and losses than he did. After all, this batch of goods was too important to him. And whether it could finally be
Surviving this level depends on Roy in the carriage.
Ever since he learned that Roy was a magic pattern master, Fergus took out all the materials that the caravan could provide.
These materials include more than twenty magic cores of level five or above monsters, a dozen magic scrolls, twenty metal plates, and a lot of messy monster bones, furs, magic crystals, plant flowers and leaves, roots and a whole
Bottles of third-level magic pattern ink. The total value exceeds 80,000 gold royal langs.
Thanks to these two caravans, they purchased almost all the goods in Meiding City. If it were another caravan, they might not even be able to collect half of the required materials.
After all the materials were prepared, Roy got into the carriage and has not come out or even shown his face until now.
At this moment, the enemies at the foot of the mountain were ready to fight. They divided into four directions, surrounded the small hill where the vehicle formation was located, and kept approaching.
Everyone knows that the battle is close at hand. Once the war starts, it will be a strangulation with blood and flesh flying everywhere. It will not stop until it is a matter of life and death.
Therefore, everyone is really anxious about whether Roy can complete the magic pattern array.
However, they were anxious. Everyone didn't know why, but they all had a kind of trust in Roy deep in their hearts. Looking back carefully, everyone was shocked to find that from the time the convoy reached the highland on the east bank of the Shilai River until now, it seemed that everything
Everything is guided by Roy.
It was he who first noticed the anomaly and suggested that the convoy stop and build a car formation. It was he who led the accompanying knights to rescue the cactus caravan from the siege of the Black Skeleton bandits. It was he who set up a defense to wait for reinforcements.
Strategy, think of ways to report for help and solve the most critical magic pattern formation in defense.
All of this is the source of trust!
Looking at the motionless carriage, everyone recalled Fergus's previous words in their minds.
At that time, everyone was suspicious of the list of materials Roy issued. You must know that the materials Roy wanted were not to mention drawing a small water magic pattern array that was only used to extinguish fires. Even if they were used to construct a
A large magic shield that can cover the castle and resist physical attacks is enough.
Moreover, considering Roy's age level, he is only a first- and second-level magic pattern master at most, and he can't use many of the materials at all!
Therefore, everyone really suspected that Roy took the opportunity to enrich himself.
However, when Jinson reminded Fergus, the shrewd businessman shook his head gently and said in a very serious tone: "If I can get through this disaster safely, my biggest gain is not to keep a job."
More than a million dollars in wealth, but got to know him.”
Roy!
What a high praise this is!
.............
.............
It was quiet inside the carriage, which was tightly covered by the heavy hood.
The lighting magic patterns on the top and sides of the hood solved the light problem. The carriage was illuminated translucently. And an ice magic pattern completely dissipated the heat after being exposed to the scorching sun.
Roy sat cross-legged on the floor of the carriage, concentrating on drawing the metal plate in his hand. Although the temperature inside the carriage was lower than outside due to the effect of the ice magic pattern, the consumption of a large amount of mental energy still made his forehead bleed.
There were big beads of sweat on my face. The clothes on my back were even soaked.
Beside him, there was a large stack of metal plates that had been drawn, four of which were placed aside individually.
If there is a magic pattern master here, he will be surprised to find that these four metal plates are exactly the four magic bases that constitute a complete water magic pattern array. As long as the magic core is added and activated, these four metal plates
The board can collect a large amount of water elements in an instant, forming a thick hemispherical water film.
Under the protection of this layer of water film, not to mention the rockets fired or the torches thrown in will be extinguished in an instant. Even if they rush in and set fire, they will not be able to ignite anything. In this space, the density of the water element is comparable to
A heavy rain!
In other words, the water magic pattern array has actually been completed a long time ago.
But Roy didn't stop.
"Huh!" After concentrating on drawing the last magic pattern function line, Roy's perception left the metal plate under the painting pen and retreated into his brain. Immediately, a kind of fatigue and headache after extreme mental consumption hit him instantly.
Got him.
Roy lay down on the floor of the carriage, panting heavily, like a fish that had been thrown onto the shore.
Although he masters magic patterns that are far simpler than traditional magic patterns, and his mental power is stronger than that of mages of the same level, this is just a relative advantage.
This advantage allows him to draw life magic patterns with a power level up to level three with the mental power and perception required to draw a level one traditional magic pattern. But this does not mean that he can draw level five, level six, etc.
Even higher level magic patterns. After all, he is just a Langxing mage now.
Higher-level magic patterns require several times or even dozens of times more mental power and perception for each level. Being able to draw a fourth-level magic pattern is already Roy's limit at the moment. And this
There were more than a dozen magic patterns and hundreds of magic lines drawn, which almost drained his mental power.
"Boy, are you desperate for your life?!" The phantom of the dwarf ax spirit appeared in Roy's sea of consciousness.
"Don't want your life?" Roy's pretty face revealed a hint of cunning that was completely opposite to his honest appearance, "I just want my life, so I have to prepare now. Otherwise, hehe..."
"What is this?" the dwarf ax spirit asked curiously, looking at the dozen metal plates lined up by Roy.
"White Fish Arrow Array." Roy turned over and sat up, picking up the metal plate he had just drawn.
This kind of metal plate was purchased by the caravan and prepared to be transported back to Munich City and sold to blacksmiths and weapons dealers as a forging material - second-level magic copper.
Magic copper is a metal with excellent strength and toughness, and it also has excellent magic conductivity. It has always been an excellent auxiliary material for forging weapons.
Generally speaking, if a sword is not mixed with magic copper, magic silver, or even more precious magic gold when it is forged, then the forged weapon is usually only a first-level or second-level ordinary weapon with extremely poor magic conductivity.
Suitable for drawing magic patterns and making them into magic pattern weapons.
Therefore, the price of a magic copper plate is ten times more expensive than a thousand-forged steel ingot.
In the industry of painting demons, the carrier is a very important factor. Although everything in the world, even leaves or white paper, can be painted with demons. However, depending on the carrier, the power of the demon patterns is also very different.
If a forbidden spell-level magic pattern is drawn on a piece of white paper, the final effect will probably be equivalent to a full blow from a just knight. And if it is drawn on a carrier that can carry the continuous release of the magic pattern's mana,
Go up, its power may be able to wipe out a castle!
When drawing the magic pattern array this time, Roy immediately took a fancy to the magic copper plates in the caravan's supply list. Compared with the wooden carriages of the car array and other carriers of the parchment rolls, the magic pattern array composed of magic copper plates guides
The magic is stronger, more powerful, and less susceptible to damage.
The magic copper plate is cold and hard. On the dark yellow smooth plate, hundreds of magic patterns are intertwined like vines. Under the light of the magic patterns illuminated above the head, a blurry and strange stream of light streaks across.
This is the first magic pattern of life that Roy learned in a desperate situation, the white fish water arrow.
The power of a single water arrow of the fifth-level magic beast White Fish is only equivalent to the second-level magic. However, after adding it to the continuously activated cyclic magic pattern, the magic power level of this magic pattern becomes smaller due to its dense quantity.
It has reached the terrifying level four.
The magic pattern of a magic copper plate, using a fifth-level magic core, can release more than a hundred water arrows. And Roy completed as many as eighteen magic copper plates in front of him!
In other words, in an instant, this magic pattern formation composed of eighteen magic copper plates can release nearly two thousand water arrows.
Although these water arrows are not accurate and have a short range, if they are released simultaneously in a relatively closed space... Roy couldn't help but shudder when he thought of this. He clasped his hands together and muttered: "Matthew
Little darling, come to me quickly."
"You little bastard." The dwarf ax spirit couldn't help laughing and scolding.
Compared with the bad boy Roy, he felt that when he was seventeen or eighteen years old, he was as kind as a little sheep.
"It turns out that you want so many things just to make this magic pattern array." Looking at the large stack of magic copper plates in front of Roy, the dwarf ax spirit finally understood.
However, he is still too kind.
The big head shook his head and quickly put about one-half of the remaining materials into his space ring. Then he smiled and said confidently: "Wrong. I did it to take advantage."
The dwarf ax spirit stared at the shameless man in shock. After a long time, he regained his breath and was about to curse. Suddenly, with a whoosh, an arrow pierced the carriage tarpaulin and stuck directly into the floor at Roy's feet.
The tail feathers trembled rapidly, making a buzzing sound.
Roy jumped to the back of the carriage, lifted the tarp, and heard a shrill "Enemy Attack!"
