The Truth of Magic

Chapter 356

356 stinky cloud technique

Zheng xinyun saw the leader of the cavalrymen shouting at them, and then looked at the more elite cavalrymen who were coming to their aid from further away.

She looked at Zhao Xu and asked, ” Captain, what do they look like? ”

zhao xu nodded. ” that’s right. kill them to keep their mouths shut. ”

He didn’t expect that he had thought too kindly of Harry, the eldest son of the Redbud Chamber of Commerce’s manager.

the leader who was sent out to lead the team naturally would not be so easily swayed by his emotions.

especially at the border of mystra, where people with deep backgrounds could pop up at any time.

The leader of the cavalry wanted to attack them, but it seemed like he was being reckless and provocative.

In fact, the real reason was that he didn’t want the news that Abel’s second son, wilberst, was kidnapped by his half-brother, Harry, to be leaked.

the intention was obvious. it would not be strange if the news that his second son wilberst died of illness on the road tomorrow spread.

he even suspected that this was the reason why there were so few people on the post road today.

Zhao Xu’s expression became indifferent, and he said sarcastically to the leader of the riders, “what a good brother you are.

When the leader of the Cavaliers, Rupert, heard this, his expression changed. He knew that Zhao Xu had already seen through their intentions, and the murderous intent in his heart grew even stronger.

although they had a lot of verbal exchanges with the owner of the carriage, mrs. betty, and the commander of the guards, chuck, they were able to see through it with one look.

This meant that they were all people in the industry. This also meant that there was a hole in the net that they had painstakingly set up today.

He immediately controlled his horse and turned it around to face Zhao Xu and the others ‘carriage. At the same time, he raised the red-embellished cavalry’s spear in his hand and raised it in front of his arm. Then he clamped his legs together and let out a loud shout.

“I don’t know where you’re from, but I’ll have to ask you to die and keep this a secret for us.”

At this moment, the riders on short stallions who had surrounded Madam Betty first all followed their leaders and started charging towards Zhao Xu’s carriage.

another more elite cavalry unit had just arrived. although there was no additional communication between the two sides, they were also disciplined and had clear tactics. they immediately took over the original team and besieged madam betty.

when zhao xu saw this, he felt a little helpless.

he was only here to see if the goblins were killing humans based on the lowest humanitarian principles.

Who would have thought that such a simple look would cause more problems?

In just a few seconds, the leader of the cavalrymen had gotten close to Zhao Xu’s carriage, and the driver almost screamed out loud. He could only shiver and curl up, but there was no way out for him.

mrs. betty, who was surrounded again, glanced at the eight ordinary guards and chief guard chuck who had followed her for many years.

Then, he thought about Zhao Xu and the others ‘merchant group. They didn’t move even when the cavalry got close to them, so they probably didn’t survive either.

He then thought of how the entire road had been deserted since the beginning. It was impossible to wait for the second wave of help.

She immediately became ruthless. go and help that carriage. Leave me alone.

As Madam Betty shouted this out loud, all of the cavalrymen who were surrounding Zhao Xu couldn’t help but feel an itch in their hearts. They remembered their leader’s initial plan, so they raised their weapons even harder and tried their best to slash at Zhao Xu’s carriage.

betty, who was also in the center of the storm, continued to instruct, ” “Chuck, you go help them too.”

“But, Madam?” Chuck, who had been the captain of the guards, could not help but be stunned.

“Chuck, go. If you follow me, you will not be able to escape death. If you attack together with the people in the carriage, you might still have a chance to live.” Madam Betty said worriedly as she watched the two of them come into close contact.

however, in that split second, zhao xu gently waved the “staff” that he had been holding in his hand.

in an instant, a strong chill, like a blizzard mixed with ice and frost, hit their faces. a great pulling force pressed down on the leader of the cavalry, rupert, and suppressed the other cavalrymen on the scene.

all he saw was layers upon layers of extremely tough and sticky silk-like things that were like a spider’s web sitting right in front of zhao xu.

The “spider silk” that looked like a spider’s web was actually bigger and thicker than a spider’s web. Using a few tall trees as coordinates, it directly entangled all the cavalrymen.

furthermore, the intertwining of the threads was complicated. at first glance, it was impossible to figure out the structure of the web.

this second circle spell, cobweb, created a simple but powerful cobweb with a radius of more than six meters. it trapped everyone who was attacking zhao xu on the spot and they couldn’t move at all.

After the guards left, the elite cavalrymen, who were ready to surround Madam Betty, saw that the other cavalrymen, including 20 cavalrymen, were trapped in the huge spider web. They were shocked and immediately turned to look at their leader, modale.

seeing this scene, modale muttered in his heart.

he knew why rupert, who had just led another ordinary cavalry company, would attack the unfamiliar carriage.

they were waiting for him to arrive so that more than 50 cavalrymen from both sides could join forces and kill all the witnesses.

who would have thought that there would be a second-circle sorcerer hiding in an ordinary carriage, who could trap them with spells so decisively?

at this moment, modale recalled the fame of the mages and the powerful strength he had at this time.

He knew that if he missed this opportunity, it would be gone in a flash, so he immediately waved the flag in his hand and shouted at the carriage where Zhao Xu was, ” “surround the carriage and capture the mage.”

at this time, he could no longer care about madam betty and her son. as long as they could eliminate the unexpected factors, no matter how fast the other party ran, their cavalry would be able to catch up.

When Zhao Xu heard the order, he didn’t think that the enemy would actually become more courageous and even dare to come in his direction.

However, he immediately reacted.

It wasn’t that the title of a mage was no longer useful in Mystra, but that the power behind the Redbud Chamber of Commerce gave the two cavalry leaders enough confidence to ignore a “second circle” mage like him.

zhao xu only laughed at her coldly and didn’t change his mind.

in these few seconds where even breathing was a race against time, he directly controlled his own mana and once again raised the supreme magic scepter in his hand, pointing it at the elite cavalrymen who were ready to spread out and surround them.

“stinking cloud!”

Suddenly, a foul-smelling cloud with a radius of more than six meters and a height of two to three stories enveloped the elite cavalrymen who arrived later.

as for the leader, modale, he saw the cloud that had engulfed him and turned pale. he also realized that the other party was a third-circle mage!

he was a third-circle sorcerer who could easily silence people on the battlefield and destroy corpses!

However, he could not even protect himself. The moment he inhaled the mist, the cavalrymen immediately felt a strong discomfort from their stomachs.

Not to mention casting spells, these cavalrymen even lost their most basic attack ability on the spot. They almost couldn’t hold their weapons tightly and could only keep vomiting, losing any ability to block.

The cavalrymen, who were only controlled by the spider web and were about to break free, were terrified when they saw the cavalrymen standing at the edge of the clouds on the other side of the battlefield in pain.

“What is this?”

this spell that could knock down more than 30 cavalrymen with extraordinary combat strength in one hit made zheng xinyun and ellington a little confused.

“Stinking Cloud.” Zhao Xu explained, “among level 3 spells, it’s a typical negative control spell.

“As long as you’re within the spell’s range, you’ll suffer the ‘nausea’ effect if you fail to resist. during this process, the target creature would lose some of its ability to cast spells and attack. in other words, it would not be able to do anything as long as it needed to focus. The only thing we can do is to move with difficulty and try our best to escape the range of the cloud and mist.”

“however, even if i leave the cloud, this state will still last for two to five rounds.” Zhao Xu said as he closed the coffin.

the eight guards and the head of the royal guards chuck, who had initially heard that madam betty was coming to help zhao xu, saw that zhao xu had destroyed two well-trained companies of cavalry with just two spells, and they were all very sad.

after zhao xu reached level 3, the multifaceted power of his spells started to show.

if he wanted to kill this group of people, he could just throw out a fireball and kill them all.

if he wanted to slow down this group of people’s movements, a cobweb spell would be his answer.

If the power of the paralyzing spider web wasn’t enough to stop it ...

He threw out the stinky cloud, which could paralyze one’s combat ability, to add to the fire.

At this moment, Zhao Xu walked down from the carriage with a burning torch in his hand. He just looked at his leader, Rupert, who was entangled in the spider web. He was the one who had threatened Zhao Xu just now.

when rupert saw the lighter in zhao xu’s hand and thought about how flammable the spider silk was, she started to sweat.

If the mage were to throw out the fire seed in his hand, most of the cavalrymen would probably be burned by the flames.

” mr. mage, ” he said nervously, ” don’t get too excited. if there’s anything, you can talk to the forces behind us first. ”

but zhao xu’s expression was calm. ” then what other spells do you think i need to cast? ”
