Chapter 695 Gathering
"It's time to confront magic head-on."
Through all the previous experiences, he was naturally very clear that his evacuation route had long been known to the enemy.
The only reason they have been able to get to this point is that they took advantage of the information gap and caught the other party off guard.
The other side did not expect that the assigned survey outposts would be eliminated one by one by them, and they were not even able to pass on the message before they died.
Therefore, Noah and others took advantage of the loophole, took advantage of the time difference, and completed half of the journey.
Noah was already satisfied that he hadn't been discovered until now.
And thanks to these enemies, their battle reserves and supplies are very rich.
Noah's eyes were filled with murderous intent.
……
After receiving Damian's order, his wizards were confused. After several nearby teams of wizards gathered together, as the number of people increased, they also began to exchange information with each other.
Reagan, the captain of the team stationed here, looked at a group of people gathering from afar. The wizard robe worn by the leader was obviously better than the wizard robe of the guy behind him. It was Koch.
Under normal circumstances, their ambush locations are quite far apart, so when they came here now, they naturally knew that it was an order Damian had given earlier.
Reagan frowned and said, "Before he told us to disperse, but now he wants us to gather together. What on earth is Damian doing?"
But Reagan didn't hesitate too much and just greeted the leader.
"Hi, Koch!"
Koch looked around with a pale face and panic in his eyes. After confirming the number of people, he breathed a sigh of relief when he found nothing unusual. "It's great that nothing happened. As expected, I was right to come to you."
Reagan frowned: "Something happened? How is that possible! There was nothing unusual before I came here."
He had never seen Koch in such a state.
"Many teams have lost contact. I think something went wrong."
Koch looked a little frightened and a little tired, but one could hear a long-lost sense of ease in his tone.
Reagan still frowned: "What happened? Can you tell me now..."
Before, when Reagan just received Damian's gathering information, he planned to move closer to the center.
His current ambush location, according to the map markings, is relatively located in the most marginal area, and the probability of the target leaving from here is very, very low.
He wanted to make a contribution and get a share of the profits from the target, so he naturally couldn't stay here. However, before he could take any action, he received a secret letter from Koch, asking him to stay where he was and wait for them to join him.
When Reagan asked why, Koch did not answer, but said that he would know when they met.
This answer is the same as saying nothing.
However, Reagan and Koch had a good relationship. Although waiting here might waste time and affect their coordination and ambush, after careful consideration, Reagan still chose to wait for Koch.
This wait lasted only until just now.
Koch heard Reagan's inquiry, sighed, and said, "You should know that I am on good terms with quite a few people. Most teams have people I can contact, and I have also made an agreement with them that if they find anything, I will send a message immediately and go to provide support."
Reagan nodded.
Koch also told him this, if he really found anything, he should rush to support immediately.
Koch is a sociable person, which Reagan admits is inferior to him. However, Koch and Reagan came from the same place, so Koch would share any news with Reagan first, and the relationship between the two was pretty good.
Koch continued, "Before Damian sent the message, the people who were ambushing in front of me had lost contact one after another."
Reagan's eyes narrowed: "You mean..."
Koch sighed: "Although I don't want to say it, I think something went wrong. I'm afraid they are in danger."
"Impossible." Reagan denied it flatly: "The target only has four people. Although they are war wizards, they have been confirmed to be ordinary team members. Each of our teams has more than a dozen people, and we have the assistance of magic array rituals. How could something go wrong under such circumstances, not to mention that even the news can't be transmitted?"
"Is it possible... that they have already got the clue, so..."
A team of more than a dozen people faced four wizards, all of whom were high-level wizards. No matter how big the gap was, it couldn't be so big that even the message couldn't be delivered. What's more, they were lying in ambush in the dark and prepared in advance.
Koch shook his head. "No, maybe some of them will be like this, but there are so many wizards who keep in touch with me, and none of them have any news. This is very scary, especially since many people were still in touch with me before, but suddenly they were disconnected."
At this point, a hint of fear flashed in Koch's eyes.
"Can you imagine? The nodes that were connected in front of me dimmed one by one, as if something was approaching."
Just thinking back at this moment, Koch relived the feeling at that time, his body trembling, the magic power in his body circulating violently because of fear, as if it was screaming at him to escape.
Reagan looked at the trembling Koch, raised his eyebrows, and patted his shoulder with his palm.
"Calm down, these are just your guesses."
Reagan had a concentration spell concentrated in his hands, as well as detection magic and detection thoughts.
He needed to judge whether Koch in front of him was affected by some magic.
The concentration spell penetrated into Koch's body, and the trembling on Koch's body seemed to gradually calm down, but the next moment, intense fear rose up and wrapped around Koch's body like a substance.
Reagan frowned. There was no feedback from the detection magic, and the detection thoughts were also completely normal. Judging from the feedback from the two magics, Koch had no problems. It was as if he was simply in fear.
However, as a high-level wizard, it is not normal for him to fall into a state of fear.
Koch's voice was distorted with fear: "No, it's not."
"Not what?"
Reagan felt a little puzzled. When he came just now, he found that Koch's condition was not right. Now this abnormality was even more obvious. There was no abnormal feedback from the detection magic and the detection of thoughts. Could it be a secret technique or a hidden curse?
It seems that some special curses can affect a person silently...
But if there is such a method, why use it on Koch? Is it for me? Or does Koch know something?
Suddenly, Koch looked up and behind him, and shouted in fear: "They... are catching up."
As soon as Koch finished speaking, Reagan's team members immediately stood up and took a defensive stance.
Koch's team members did not react at all.
Because along the way, Koch has made too many neurotic decisions, many of which seem inexplicable.
One of Koch's team members said nonchalantly, "Here we go again. Captain Koch's perception has discovered an enemy that doesn't exist."
Some even smiled at Reagan and said:
"Captain Reagan, you should go check on our captain. He may be mentally out of control due to too much pressure."
Koch's players all laughed.
Reagan's team members didn't laugh, and neither did Reagan. He used a sleeping spell to put Koch into a coma, and then said calmly: "It seems that someone is targeting us..."
Seeing the tense atmosphere, Koch's team members turned around and looked in the same direction as everyone else.
I saw four small dots faintly appearing on the edge of the yellow sand.
Koch's team members choked up in their throats, with some disbelief in their eyes.
They could clearly see these four people with their eyes, but they could not perceive any clues, as if these people did not exist.
"how is this possible?"
Reagan didn't hesitate. He stood up and poured his magic power into the magic circle under him, urging, "Quick, everyone, raise the magic circle. Don't leave any gaps. Everyone, move quickly. Use all your magic power. A tough battle is coming."
As far as the eye can see, it is only a few miles away. In a blink of an eye, the small dot in the distance is already right in front of you.
The four wizards stopped in mid-air.
The leader said coldly: "Sure enough, someone can sense us, but no matter where you escape to, you will eventually die."
Reagan looked up and sneered at Noah: "Where did you come from, kid? You are so arrogant. We didn't look for you, but you fell into our trap."
Although Reagan's words were disparaging, the man in front of him was a war wizard. Anyone who could become a war wizard had to undergo training. The one in front of him, who looked like a child, might not actually be one.
So, Reagan had no intention of holding back from the very beginning.
Before he finished speaking, he had already activated the magic circle under him and rose up.
The other team members also cast spells one after another, fire lightning, frost storm, the team members' magic almost overwhelmed the four people.
Reagan held the magic circle with one hand and held
If the opponent is really as terrible as Koch said, he will run away immediately and use magic circles to block one or two attacks to delay time. If the opponent is not that powerful, then he can rely on magic circles to deal with the opponent and kill him.
But the next scene left Reagan completely dumbfounded.
Among the four people, the guy who was standing at the back stood up and just pressed down with his hands, and the wind, fire, thunder, lightning, ice, frost, sand and gravel all disappeared.
hiss--
Reagan saw it clearly. All the magic had been transformed back into elements and magic power. The magic framework inside was still there, but it was useless. Not only did it not support the magic, but it aggravated the collapse of the magic.
What is the principle?
I don't understand, I really don't understand.
But he understood one thing, that is, these guys were not ordinary wizards. Koch was right. He had to run, otherwise it would be too late.
These guys seem to be the top high-level wizards.
Reagan grabbed Koch, and with a strong wind around him, he ran backwards. As for the other team members...
"What does it have to do with me? It's a good opportunity to let them cover our retreat."
Koch must be brought along. This guy has the means to sense these guys. As long as he can avoid them for a while, according to the intelligence, they should evacuate and naturally will not stay too long.
Reagan didn't even turn his head, but a voice full of laughter came to his ears: "Why are you in such a hurry to leave?"
Click...
Reagan didn't need to look back to feel that the magic circle behind him had broken.
If it were under normal circumstances, Reagan would definitely have questioned it. How could it be possible that the magic circle they set up could be broken so easily?
If someone said that one could break a magic circle with a snap of the fingers, Reagan would definitely laugh at him.
But now, the magic circle is controlled by him.
He could feel that the opponent's magic power seemed to reach the magic circle without any hindrance.
The structure they arranged on the outside for interference and confidentiality did not play any role at all. The other party seemed to be completely unaffected. They probed into it, found the core, grasped the key node, and solved it with a light touch.
The magic circle gradually spread from one point and the entire structure collapsed in an instant.
What is happening and what is the principle behind this?
Reagan didn't know either. He only knew how to use the magic circle. The other party was able to break the magic circle so easily, which showed that he had a deeper understanding of it.
He had seen many ritual wizards who had a deep understanding of magic circles, but he had never seen one that could break the lost circle so easily.
Do not……
Not just broken.
Reagan's pace slowly slowed down.
He looked up and found that a magic circle had appeared on the outer layer at some point.
The magic circle they condensed, the broken runes were absorbed by the outer magic circle, and the remaining magical aura on them was retained on the magic circle.
In just a moment, a creepy feeling crept up Reagan's spine.
He was targeted.
In other words, every wizard who had previously maintained the magic circle has now been targeted.
As the host of the magic circle, Reagan was naturally unavoidable.
He took Koch and slowly turned around. When he looked back, he saw patches of bright light lighting up.
Every thread formed by shining light finally gathered in the hands of the leading young man.
The green light was filled with a terrifying aura, and those who were hit fell to the ground.
Is he dead?
In just a breath of time, there was no one left alive in the entire venue except himself and Koch?
What kind of magic is this?
This cold breath of death looks a bit like necromancy, and it should be a very high-level necromancy. But how could such magic be a range magic?
Reagan collapsed to the ground.
He had given up resistance. The four wizards on the opposite side were not someone he could fight against at all.
He wanted to say something to beg for mercy, but before he could say it, he saw the young man in front of him wave his wand, and his mouth was sealed, so he could only make a whimpering sound.
"Noah, how are you? Are you used to it? If not, you can take a rest."
The person behind the boy said gently.
Reagan knew that the magic circle was broken by the person in front of him, and he used the remaining magical aura on the magic circle to lock everyone in.
The boy called Noah shook his head: "This is something I should get used to."
Then, as Reagan looked pleading for mercy, Noah gently pressed his magic wand against Reagan's forehead. A dim magical light shone from the tip of the wand and then sank into Reagan's body.
Reagan fell to the ground and fell into a coma, his whole body twitching from time to time.
After a while, Reagan opened his eyes and stood respectfully in front of Noah. Beside him, Koch had already woken up, his face full of loyalty.
But there was still a hint of fear on his face.
Because there was a strong sense of fear in his body. Although he tried his best to restrain it, the fear still permeated his body and caused some reactions.
