273. It blooms in the wind and snow


The cold wind was cold, and the biting north wind blew people's faces like knives, standing on top of the ice wall, looking at the barbarians who rushed up like a tide, some people's eyes were full of sparks of excitement, and they couldn't wait to rush up in the next second, colliding with this torrent of steel, and making the final fight, some people's eyes were cloudy, and the last bit of the will to fight was also dispersed by the huge momentum of the barbarians.Looking at the civilians outside the valley, the eyes of the captains of several eagle teams showed gloom, although this rescue plan was considered to be done with all their might, but in the end it was not able to stop these barbarians in the valley, the eagle team will not fight to the death with the barbarians here, the captains of the eagle team, exchanging glances with each other, have already hinted to each other that it is time to evacuate.Cynthia stood beside me tiredly, her hands holding her two-handed sword, her face as pale as paper, and she was already at the end of her crossbow.Xiu didn't know when he appeared on the ice wall, he looked a little embarrassed, one arm hung down weakly, and the leather armor on his shoulder was torn open.Wayne looked a little better, her arms were shaking, and she seemed to be at the limit of her arms as she was constantly pulling her bow.Basille appeared in front of Cynthia at this time, and said to Cynthia with a slightly embarrassed face: "Captain!

”Cynthia shook her head weakly, just patted him on the shoulder, and seemed to have no strength to speak.In the past, Basille left the team because of a difference of opinion, but now that all members of our team have returned to the valley to rescue these civilians, the differences between us naturally no longer exist, and there is no reason why he should not return to the team.When the barbarians began to make a final charge against the ice wall, and seeing that the time was almost up, I approached Captain Cynthia, stood on tiptoe and put my neck close to her ear, and whispered a few words to her."

What you say, it's true?"

Her eyes brightened suddenly."

Of course, those things were walked into the snow by me!"

I nodded affirmatively, pointing to the snow outside the ice wall that had been trampled on by the fleeing civilians, because hundreds of civilians had just passed by, and I don't think anyone would have thought that there were so many magical traps buried under this snow."

You're so daring, what would you do if those civilians stepped on them by mistake?"

Cynthia took a breath of cold air and said to me with a frown."

Actually, those ice masks work, don't they?"

I defended myself, but when I said this, I was a little weak-minded.Captain Cynthia didn't dare to hesitate for any moment, and quickly began to discuss with the other six Eagle Squad captains on the ice wall.After a while, several Eagle Squad captains called me over again.When I returned, Wayne had just finished shooting an arrow, and she shook her sore arm and asked me curiously with a frown, "What are you and the regimental commander doing?"

”I said to her, "You'll know when you retreat!"

”She gave me a wide roll of the eyes, and then glanced suspiciously at Ruka, who was standing on the ice wall, and Ruka nodded affirmatively, signaling to her that I was right, and Wayne thankfully stopped asking.Actually, it was only a matter of minutes for me to tell Captain Cynthia the news, and for her to discuss it with the other captains.During this time, the barbarians were crushed under the ice wall by the rain of arrows from the archers and the fireball and wind blades of the three magicians.Almost every savage had a few arrows stuck in their bodies, and these arrows could not go any deeper into their muscular muscles.This kind of arrow wound did not affect the actions of the barbarians, but stimulated them to be fierce, their hideous faces and yellowish fangs, and the scarlet eyes burst out with a ferocious and fierce light, the barbarians had already approached under the ice wall, and there were already barbarians with huge shields jumping high, trying to force their way down on the ice wall, but they were forced back by the warriors on the ice wall.Nearly half of the barbarians had already rushed under the ice wall, and they threw their spears, and the archers on the ice wall could no longer suppress the charging barbarians.On the ice wall, a fire mage took out a magic scroll from his arms, and at the urging of the captain, he unfolded the magic scroll with a painful face and chanted the incantation aloud.The magic scroll was instantly ignited and turned into ashes in the air, and a red magic pattern circle appeared in front of the magician, and the bursting fire element kept flowing on the lines of the magic pattern circle.At the same time, the fire elements floating in the surrounding air suddenly stopped, and then in the next second, all the fire elements floating in the air suddenly gathered towards the fire magic pattern circle in front of the magician's body, and several huge fire bombs appeared in front of the magician with blazing flames.Barely pausing, the magician pointed his wand at the barbarian with a solemn expression, and three fireballs burst out.The second-level magic beaded fireball fell from the ice wall, and several barbarians with big iron shields like door panels jumped high, and actually used the big iron shield to block the fireball in mid-air, and the fireball exploded against the big iron shield, and a huge wave of air lifted several barbarians high.Taking advantage of this opportunity, the six captains of the Eagle Squad standing on the ice wall shouted "Retreat!"

almost simultaneously. ”Immediately, someone picked up the wounded warrior on his back, jumped off the ice wall with Ruka the Minotaur, and ran safely along the sides towards the outside of the valley.The warriors and archers on the ice wall also jumped off the ice wall in an orderly manner by various means, and the warriors wearing heavy armor were absolutely not allowed to walk through the trap area, but those who were light archers stepped directly from the trap area.The senior of the magic academy directly took out a magic broom and flew over the area of the trap.Squatting on the ice wall, I held a long-barreled gun in my hand and shot at a barbarian who was about to jump onto the ice wall, and Captain Cynthia rushed over without saying a word, picked me up directly, and jumped off the wall.I hurriedly shouted to Cynthia: "Let me down, Captain, let me down!"

”Several of the Eagle Squads had not yet fully stepped out of the edge of the trap area, and the barbarians who had rushed to the front had already climbed the ice wall, and they jumped off the ice wall with a howl, and watched them catch up at a galloping speed, and the members of the Eagle Squads who fell behind were all frightened.If the barbarians catch up at this time and entangle the team behind, once the magic scroll in the trap area is detonated, the team behind will be frozen into ice sculptures along with these barbarians.I struggled to slide off Captain Cynthia's shoulders like a loach.Facing the barbarians who jumped down from the ice wall, he urged the last trace of mana in his body, gathered into a magic circle at his fingertips, and poured the last bit of mana into the ice wall.One word whispered in his mouth: "Burst!"

”In an instant, the ice wall with a length of more than 60 meters and a height of 6 meters suddenly collapsed, and the entire ice wall was like an ice and snow beast with a big mouth open, devouring all the barbarians near the ice wall.The collapse of the ice wall was like an avalanche in the valley, and with the crisp cracking sound of the ice wall, it rumbled and formed an ice and snow tomb at the pass.This is exactly what I have worked so hard to build this ice wall, in addition to blocking the view of the barbarians, so that they cannot see the route of our run after jumping off the ice wall for the first time, and it is also the last means of stopping the barbarians.The Ice Wall is a very special existence in ice magic, this magic is a step-based magic skill, the first step is to gather water elements to form, the second step is to use water elements to form a wall, and the last step is to condense water into ice.The magic of the Ice Wall can temporarily change the terrain characteristics of a location, of course, in order to be able to control the magic more freely, the designer of this magic skill studied the practicality of the ice wall more deeply, and finally perfected the ice wall technique.In fact, the complete ice wall, and the last part of the ice explosion magic spell, this is actually so that the caster can fully control the ice wall spell, and can destroy the ice wall at any time.The members of the Eagle Squad, who were thinking about how to get rid of the brutal pursuit of the barbarians, were stunned at this moment, they turned back in surprise and saw countless barbarians engulfed by the crumbling ice wall, and a few seconds later, under the broken ice wall of snow and mist, the barbarians broke free from the ruins in anger, and they struggled to crawl out in pain, covered in ice and snow debris, and their bodies were covered with ice and snow like alpine snowmen.Although these barbarians were not afraid of the cold of the ice wall, they were cut and bruised by the sharp ice edges formed when the ice wall burst open.Some barbarians even lost their weapons, but even so, the barbarians' will to fight was not broken, and the barbarians crawled out of the ruins of the collapsed ice wall and fell into the trap continuously, making them completely lose their minds and gasp like a wild cow and step into the magic trap area.A barbarian leaned forward slightly, one of his feet seemed to be stepping on a snow pit, just as he was trying to keep his body balanced, the snow pit suddenly burst violently, and a cold and cold breath permeated the air, but this level of chill was nothing to the barbarians who grew in the extreme north.Enhancing the Frost Scroll is only able to increase some of the Extreme Chill in an area.But one scroll was so weak that the barbarian couldn't even feel the coolness of the magic scroll.The barbarian bent down and took out a small beast clip from the snow pit, clutched it in the palm of his hand and threw it into a ball of scrap metal on the ground, and the barbarian continued to walk forward.Since the barbarian who walked in front stepped on the trap, he directly pinched the small beast into scrap iron and threw it away, and the barbarian who followed behind was naturally learned, and guessed that he stepped on the small beast trap in the snow pit, which was directly like the magic trap with a strong cold air.Those small traps don't do any damage at all.But they didn't realize that the air around them had become like it was about to freeze, and the extreme cold was accumulating little by little, and every time they stepped on the trap of the Frost Scroll, the chill would increase by one point, and finally the barbarians in the trap area felt the cold, and one of the barbarians couldn't help but shiver.The eagle members on our side are still running towards the hilly wilderness, but many of the eagle members in the team are really on the run, and after a while, they have already run into the crowd where the civilians at the front are."

Jijia, what are you plotting with the Captain?"

Wayne asked me this question all the way.She saw that Cynthia and I weren't on our skis and obviously didn't want to leave here yet, so she thought we must be hiding something from her."

Ice mage, can you have such power?"

At this time, Cynthia was still directly burying nearly half of the barbarians after the ice wall collapsed, although it did not cause substantial attrition, but it had an immeasurable effect on reducing the morale of the barbarians.I thought for a moment before saying, "Because it's winter, this is the home of ice magicians!"

”Cynthia asked me unconvinced, "Are you sure those traps can stop the barbarians, they don't seem to have any effect on them!"

”"Of course!"

I replied confidently.One of the captains of the Eagle Squad asked with some concern: "Cynthia, if as you said, those magic traps are those that the barbarians are stepping on now, I think we can retreat, and it is still too late to leave!"

”The other chimed in: "We admit that Lord Giga's ice magic was beyond our expectations, and his ice wall successfully held back the barbarians' tracks, but if that's all there is to it, we should have some other considerations, shouldn't we?"

”Cynthia faced the other captains' whispered doubts, maintained a confident smile on her face, and reluctantly said, "Of course!

”The magician who released the fireball was holding a magic sweep in his hand, and he was actually helping me speak: "After all, those barbarians came from the extreme north, and it is normal for them not to be afraid of the cold, you should not be too harsh on this water magician!"

”At this time, the barbarian who walked in front suddenly stepped into the snow pit again, he was a little angry, and just wanted to reach out and pick up the small beast clip under the foot board and crush it, just like the few beast clips before crushing, but he strangely found that his legs were in the crystal ice, and he wanted to step forward habitually, but his body lost his balance and fell forward suddenly, but the extremely cold ice under his feet did not shatter because of this.Moreover, the extremely cold breath spread outward like an ice circle in an instant before.Suddenly there was a sharp chill at the center of the ice circle, and then for a fraction of a second, the chill made a faint, crisp sound."

Pop", a white ice circle spread outwards violently, and the companions around the barbarian were also frozen in the crystal ice at this moment.Then three barbarians stepped on such a magic trap one after another, and for a while, the crystal ice ring flickered three times in a row, and a crystal ice river was formed under the feet of the thirty or so people in front of the entire barbarian team, and these barbarian warriors were all frozen below their thighs.These barbarians who walked in the front finally showed a look of panic on their faces when they saw such a huge ice magic, and even some barbarians began to use the sledgehammer in their hands to chisel the ice surface, and at this time, all the people with short flying spears in the eagle team took out the few short spears in their hands and distributed them equally to the people around them.The first round of short spears fell like a rain of spears on the barbarians as they panicked and struck the ice below their thighs.The blood of the barbarians burst out, splashed, and spilled onto the ice in the trap area.
