621 3 Gyrfalcon
“K3516, did you just kill a Gyrfalcon?” Head Commander Edi’s voice came through the military card. He, too, had also gotten the news.
Abel also didn’t even need to guess to know let out this information; just look k3308 brag to his military card.
“Yes, I’ve just killed a gyrfalcon!” Abel replied.
“Amazing! That’s great news for us!” Head Commander Edi said with a laugh and continued, “Just be careful, we might have a battle with the orcs any time now. If we begin to lose, we’ll call support immediately!”
Head Commander Bodley and Head Commander Edi were not wrong. That afternoon, more Gyrfalcon had appeared above Abel, not only 1, but 3.
Those 3 gyrfalcons flew so high, Abel couldn’t even shoot them down. It seemed like the orcs had learned their lesson in the morning. Now, the orcs had fully grasped the position of 3 teams.
Abel gazed at the 3 gyrfalcons in the sky, he sensed that they were all targeting him. 1 out of the 3 gyrfalcons was monitoring the other 2 teams, but the other 2 were dead fixed on him.
Although those gyrfalcons were flying extremely high, Abel’s intuition could still feel 2 gazes spying on him.
“K3516, we’ll wait for the orcs to show themselves here!” Head Commander Edi commanded through the military card
“Bodley, We’ll stop and prepare to fight!” Abel yelled at Head Commander Bodley.
Abel knew both Head Commander Bodley and Head Commander Edi were extremely experienced leaders. Although Abel himself had also undergone knights training, it was all to do with fighting skills, he knew nothing about leading a battle.
“Mr. Wizard k3516, your defense is set up. We will go all out to protect our wizards!” Head Commander Bodley replied.
Abel nodded and took out the protection circle board and threw it on the ground. He then installed some intermediate mana gems onto it and ignited it with his power of the will. A 10 cubic meters protection dome emerged from the ground.
4 wizards entered inside. With this protector, the wizards could cast their spells before they made contact with them and make contact with the orcs, which would give them a leg up.
“Somethings not right today, 3 gyrfalcons appeared above. Normally there will only be one. This means there are at least 3 teams of orcs heading our way!” Head Commander Bodley lowered his voice.
“I have this feeling too. Things like this are too rare. Maybe the orcs think we are too powerful. With 3 gyrfalcons, it’s no wonder Edi would tell us to stay and wait!” Head Commander Markham added.
Head Commander Bodley gazed at Head Commander Markham and said with a smile. “Great, more war glory for us.”
“Right, who cares how many they sent. It’s all war glory!” Said Head Commander Markham with a confidence laugh as well.
Their confidence was all because of Abel, especially when they noticed that Abel had just gotten a new bow. His original bow was already an amazing bow, but the bow he used to kill that gyrfalcon in the morning was a magic bow.
Since Abel was already so scary with a normal bow, one would wonder how much more powerful he would become if he had a magic bow.
The 2 head commanders were not worried about the orcs’ surprise attack. In fact, they were worried that not enough orcs came.
K3308 took out a rune card from his portal bag and kept casting more and more of it on his body. Although he shouldn’t be nervous, he couldn’t help it without a Head Commander protecting him against the orcs.
The orcs had still hadn’t showed up, but he was already in full defense mode.
“K3308, are you nervous? It’s better to get your defense on after the orcs show up!” K3305 couldn’t help but smile.
“I’m not nervous!” K3308 said coldly.
“K3516. I’ve always thought k3308 is the wealthiest in the team. But the wealthiest is actually you!” K3003 exclaimed, touching the protection circle.
Both Abel’s magic bow and protection circle board were not something normal wizards could get. Also, looking at the speed Abel had set this thing up, he should be using it quite often.
“K3003, it just means that I’m the most afraid of death!” Abel followed with a smile. This joke made the entire team crack up, and the k3308’s nervousness was defused alongside it.
“The orcs are here!” Abel sensed the ground rumbling with his sensitive senses. This rumble was getting stronger.
“Ready to fight! Markham protects the wizards. Wizards get your spells ready, cast it as soon as they enter your range. Mr wizard k3516, keep your eye sharp!” Head Commander Bodley didn’t sense anything, but he trusted Abel with all his heart.
Head Commander Markham took out his long sword, s.h.i.+eld and unleashed his ice combat qi. Soon, his s.h.i.+eld was wrapped in ice. His s.h.i.+eld turned into a giant ice s.h.i.+eld, completely blocking the team.
This was the scariest thing about an ice attributed head commander. As long as they had not used up their ice combat qi, they could form a strong repairable defense line with freezing ice.
K3305 had also taken out his magic staff and added a defense onto himself. But that point, k3308 was no longer as nervous. The defense on his body was s.h.i.+ning in a magical aura.
K3303 gently took out a magic card from his portal bag and added defense on to himself as well.
“K3516, why don’t you prepare?” K3003 asked after noticing that Abel did not have a defense spell.
“It’s ok; I have enough defense on me!” Abel replied and turned back to k3305 and k3308. He then continued, “You guys can use these 3 pa.s.sive magic protectors among yourselves!”
Abel took out 3 pa.s.sive magic protectors from his portal bag and threw them towards the two. Pa.s.sive magic protectors were extremely valuable. Giving it out as a gift was not really possible but letting your friends play with it for a little before a battle should be fine.
Although Abel had quite a few pa.s.sive magic protectors, no one would really trade them due to their immense value. Abel had only gotten so many of them from killing elite wizards.
“Thanks!”k3308 said with a smile as he caught the pa.s.sive magic protectors. He was basically quite close to Abel at this point. Since he already owed Abel so many favors, a few more would not make a difference.
“You are the best k3516!” K3308 also said with a smile. With an extra defense, it was like he had gained an extra life, especially on the battlefield.
“It is a team of 1000 wolf riders!” Head Commander Bodley yelled as he saw a vast amount of vicious wolf riders roaring towards them from the horizon.
However, Abel himself actually noticed not one but two teams of 1000 wolf riders heading their way. One was heading towards Head Commander Gloger on the far left, only the team led by Head Commander Edi was not being targeted.
Abel felt a little letdown. There was not a single priest in that team of Wolf rider rus.h.i.+ng towards them.
With his Riphook bow and new gears, his lightning attack had reached 102 points.
This basically equals the most powerful spell attack by a beginner wizard, but to Abel, it was just a shot of an arrow. No mana was needed, and Its range was a lot further.
At this moment, Head Commander Edi stood in the middle. He realized their target, but he was just not expecting the orcs to send this many wolf riders. Even though there were no priests among those 2000 wolf riders, none of their team could fight off 1000 orcs alone.
They might need to sacrifice a lot, even if they won. He could not accept this. He was the one who brought his team out. He needed every member to return safely.
Everyone in this mission was his friend. They had all joined because they trusted him.
The team of commanders led by Head Commander Gloger on the left was ready to fight. All ice Head Commanders lifted up their ice s.h.i.+eld, and Head Commander Edi also saw some ice s.h.i.+eld and protection circle arising.
If both teams needed their help at once, the most probable outcome was both teams getting directly attacked by those wolf riders.
