Struggle in the Steam Age

Lawrence, who was observing the group of raiders, couldn't help cursing after seeing the raiders descending the mountain. Because he found that the group of sneak attackers didn't know whether they had confidence in their stealth ability or had enough contempt for Lawrence and the others.

So when they descended the cliff, they didn't descend one after the other, but all of them grabbed the rope and began to climb down almost at the same time, which looked like a bunch of candied haws from a distance.

Although he couldn't figure out what the gangsters were thinking, Lawrence would naturally not let this opportunity pass. When the group of attackers all started to climb down the cliff along the ropes, Lawrence immediately directed the phantoms of the fire poisonous bees flying above to the tree where they were tied with ropes.

It has to be said that these gangsters were not completely unprepared. At least Lawrence discovered that the ropes tied to the trees were actually mixed with steel wires. Even with the power of the fire poisonous bee, it is impossible to break this rope in a short time.

In other words, when Lawrence felt that he broke the rope, those people must have landed safely.

"But you still missed a very important part." Looking at the gangsters lined up on the cliff, the corners of Lawrence's mouth slightly turned up, and then directed the group of fire poisonous bees to rush towards the trees tied with ropes.

It may be because this is a cliff and the soil is poor and lacks nutrients. So these trees look as thick as a human calf.

Although a tree of this diameter was enough to bear the weight of several people, for Lawrence, it was much easier to deal with than a rope mixed with steel wire.

With a few slight explosions and bursts of flames, those seemingly solid trees were immediately blown off, and then a few screams came from the direction of the cliff

Then Lawrence immediately commanded the phantoms of the monsters summoned just now to surround the place where the screams came from, and at the same time released a dissociation technique at the target location, and pulled the trigger of the pistol to fire a few bullets.

Gunshots and magic were orders. Before the gunshots echoed in the valley, the team led by Priest Hannah immediately rushed out of the tent where they were hiding with their weapons in hand, and rushed towards the target.

On the other side of their tent, Lawrence also rushed out of his tent under the protection of Safir and a group of monster phantoms after firing bullets and magic, and also rushed to the battlefield.

When they came to the bottom of the cliff, they found that there were seven or eight gangsters lying in disorder. Most of them are already dead, and a few of them may still be alive because of the posture of the fall and the fact that someone is at the bottom below.

But at this time Priest Hannah and his team had rushed up and shot at the half-dead gangsters one by one from a long distance. If nothing unexpected happened, the battle here would be over soon.

"Is this what you spellcasters often say that there is no useless magic, only useless mages." After looking at the few tree trunks that were still burning and the ropes that fell on the ground, Safiel probably judged What kind of tactics did Lawrence use just now?

"Yes, spells don't only work when facing the target." Lawrence summoned more monster phantoms as if showing off, and then directed those phantoms to turn around him Go, while making a gesture to Safiel.

Sometimes, a simple magic cast can play a role that complex magic can't achieve in some places, for example—"

Before he finished speaking, Lawrence suddenly raised his head and raised his hand to release a dissociation technique towards the middle of the cliff. At the same time, the phantoms of a dozen or so goblin shamans who had just been summoned nearby also released dizzy spells towards the same position. dazzle.

After seeing Lawrence casting a spell, everyone present focused on the location where his magic fell, only to find that the air in that place flickered for a while, revealing two figures, one red and one blue.

"Huh—" Just as the two people appeared, the man in the red robe pointed his finger in the direction of Lawrence. Then a little spark flew out.

Lawrence and Safiel, who felt something was wrong after seeing each other raise their hands, immediately flashed to both sides, but the spark fell on a tent behind them just now.

Only a bang was heard, and the spark suddenly turned into a large ball of flames, a fiery air wave spread violently, and the tent immediately became a blazing fire.

Then the red-robed man used magic to block the bullets that Hannah and the others kept shooting at him while Lawrence and Safir were dodging. Then he and another bandit leader around him quickly climbed down along the raised part of the rock, and rushed towards the tents in the center of the camp.

And during the whole process, the two of them didn't even glance at the dead and wounded subordinates on the ground, as if those corpses were just some garbage.

It has to be said that this has the characteristics of a bandit. After all, for these bandit leaders whose extraordinary level is not low, those so-called subordinates are just some cheap tools.

So as long as the goal can be achieved, even if the subordinate dies, it is not much of a problem for them.

After all, there are not a few people in this world who want robbers to make a good profit, so in the eyes of these two bosses, as long as they can kidnap one or two rich people and escape, they will naturally have a lot of money in their hands. With the money, the new minions will naturally be able to recruit as many as they want.

However, a green light accompanied by bullets quickly stopped their reverie, because at this time Lawrence adjusted his state and shot.

After seeing the disintegration technique, this warlock, who should have the blood of some kind of dragon creature, had to stop to avoid this dangerous blow.

As a result, the pause of only a few seconds caused the phantoms of more than a dozen hobgoblins to catch up with them and form an encircling circle.

Taking advantage of these monster phantoms limiting the movement range of the two thieves leaders, Lawrence and the others immediately poured their firepower on the two thieves.

Since all the monster phantoms summoned by Lawrence are all on the front line, there is no need to worry about accidental injury, so everyone can pour out all the power they have as much as possible.

After trying to release magic to break through several times but was easily beaten back by Lawrence, the man in red quickly pulled out a flaming ax from his arms and chopped off the two hobgoblin phantoms opposite him.

"He's a flame ax—" After this distinctive-looking magical weapon appeared, Priest Hannah, who had been working nearby, immediately recognized the identity of the man in red. "A notorious red dragon warlock."

"Flame Axe?" After being reminded by Hannah, Lawrence immediately remembered a certain newspaper he had read when he was bored on the road. Although Lawrence could no longer remember most of the contents of that article, he did not forget the two most important points.

One of them said that this person is a red dragon warlock who has mastered many kinds of fighting techniques. Not only does he master a lot of powerful magic, but also he is no less than a slightly lower level fighter in melee combat.

And another point that keeps Lawrence fresh in his memory comes from the bounty offered at the end of the article about the gangster named Flame Axe.

Because in the last paragraph of the entire article, the editor of the newspaper specially marked in large red fonts that this man's federal dollar bounty is as high as 5,000 federal dollars.

Although the amount of a person's bounty is determined by various factors. For example, the crime committed, the extraordinary level, the number of gang members, etc. will all be taken into account when setting the bounty.

But in this otherworldly world, a criminal's level of excellence often counts as an important consideration in bounty placement.

So after thinking of this, Lawrence immediately raised his vigilance and summoned more monster phantoms to attack the two robbers.
