Lize and Marlene were stunned They turned around subconsciously and witnessed a spectacular spark exploding in the hills above the village
“Ambush!+”
Both of them stood up instantly as they knehat that meant In fact, Rhode had instructed Joey and a few other Thieves and Rangers to set up nals and traps after the battle with the Barbarians had ended After all, all the Barbarians that attacked Deep Creek Village had been eliminated, and there was no news on the whereabouts of the re to Rhode’s estiht send more men in search of their co ht, Rhode commanded his men to set up traps and sentries at areas that were most prone for the Barbarians to appear Now, it see ot into action upon noticing the sparks They thren their food and wine and picked up their weapons while the elderlies, children, and wo celebration turned desolate instantly
Marlene wasof Lize’s words In a place like this, dangers would present themselves anytime If you don’t seize the tiht possibly lose everything the next second
Suddenly, a glaring bolt of light flashed through thetowards the village
A Mage?
Everyone was stunned at the fast-descending danger Marlene focused her concentration on the huge fireball and lifted her wand high
“Sudys!”
As soon as the young lady shouted, a flourishi+ng ed on the tip of the ruby in a blink of an eye Dozens of Ice Swords materialized in midair and shot towards the fireball
Bam! A violent explosion sounded the instant both spells collided A reddish radiance shrouded the sky before dissipating in an instance
“There’s a Mage?”
Rhode and his men arrived at the plaza Marlene turned to Rhode with a cohtly
“Yes It should be an Outer Circle Mage I can handle this”
Marlene lifted her wand once again and struck it on the ground
“Tresan!”
The ground shook and the wooden palisades around the village began to distort In a blink of an eye, they were replaced by a thick perimeter of ‘tree fences’ The mercenaries andbattle Although the sky was under the protection of the Light Dragon, it wasdense forest around the village had allowed darkness to becoh the mercenaries and militias wished to check out the situation, they couldn’t see clearly howin the shadows
Shalala
A shadow suddenly appeared on the tip of the fence The nervous crowd instantly pointed their weapons at the target However, they let out sighs of relief after recognizing that person
“Joey? How’s the situation?”
“Woah The situation doesn’t look good, Boss”
Joey sorass patch He darted towards Rhode and wiped off the sweat on his forehead
“There are so many Barbarians Oh God, we’d just removed a bunch of them but their reinforcement came! There’s so many of them!”
“How many?”
Rhode puckered his brows and asked hurriedly Joey pondered for a moment and replied with a bitter expression
“Si with about a few hundred of theh to deal with because they had split up in groups of three to five and dispersed into the forest We were discovered after succeeding four ti noe can figure out how many are near us Also…”
Joey paused and turned to Marlene with lingering fears
“They have a Mage within their ranks”
“I know,” Marlene nodded “But he’s no match for me”
“Nonono, Miss Marlene It’s not like this”
To Marlene’s surprise, Joey waved his hands and displayed a fearful face
“There are es and not only one! I saw at least five of them”
“What?”
Rhode and Marlene were stunned At least five Mages? How is that possible? Mages were rare and valuable Even if a Mage couldn’t survive in this world, one could still serve the bandits, killer guilds or secret evil groups Furtherold and authority in the roup and one didn’t even need to come to this civilized border to es, it ht be due to their own peculiarity However, it sees weren’t this way at all because how could a Barbarian clan gather five Mages at the saure it out, the second wave of fireballs struck But the intensity was different this ti Joey’s report, four fireballs were fired at the same time from three different directions
“Hed snarl as she chanted for a dozen Ice Swords and projected them towards the fireballs A series of explosion sounded above the village and a siht sky
“How did the Barbarians gather so low of explosions in the sky Things were too odd and Rhode began to suspect if this was a scheme plotted by the Parliae was located far from civilization Even if the Barbarians were to destroy everything, the outside world wouldn’t be affected at all Moreover, there were no treasures or striking target in this area worthy enough for the Parliament to take action
But, other than thees to aid the Barbarians? Could it be that soical talent? That’s ridiculous because the knowledge ofeveryone could learn It would still be reasonable if one or two Barbarians awakened and h comprehensive studies But it wasn’t possible that all of theh the same process?
