Lord Wizard

Chapter 100 Fire Attack

In the reeds.

Looking at the Rising Sun Group cavalry covered in a rain of arrows, Lin Meng smiled slightly.

The group of great knights and knights at the front were the main targets of the arrow rain.

Given their speed, the crossbow bolts would only have one chance to fire. After that, regardless of the outcome, they would have to retreat, or they would be directly attacked by the surviving knights and great knights, leading to their certain death.

but……

He hadn't originally intended to rout the enemy with a single volley of arrows; he would have killed as many as he could.

"That must be Hiromitsu Asahina!"

Lin Meng saw countless knights raising their shields to protect a young man hiding in the crowd and secretly guessed what he was doing.

His area was also within the range of the arrow rain. If he could kill Asahi Hiromitsu directly, the subsequent battle would undoubtedly be easier.

pity……

Just as the rain of arrows blasted away the nearby knights who were holding up their shields, a red flame shield suddenly appeared around Asahi Hiromitsu's body, deflecting all the arrows aimed at him. Even the powerful crossbow bolts, which were deadly to great knights, could not penetrate this flame shield.

"A defensive, demonic item!"

Lin Meng was startled.

As expected of the young master of the Rising Sun Group, he even possesses defensive enchanted items that are highly valued by formal wizards.

When he saw the woman in the white robe beside Asahi Hiromitsu and sensed that her magical power was not much less than Christine's, a sense of danger immediately welled up in his heart.

"This is... a third-class apprentice!?"

Lin Meng felt his heart sinking.

"Third-class apprentices! The Rising Sun Group actually sent third-class apprentices to the battlefield!?"

Nero was both shocked and furious when he heard Lin Meng's voice.

"This is troublesome."

Lin Meng's expression was solemn.

The appearance of a large number of great knights was within his expectations, but he did not expect that there would be a third-class apprentice by Asahi Hiromitsu's side.

A third-class apprentice belonging to the Sunrise Group has appeared on the continent of Constantine, and Blue Flame Company has not received any news about it!?

"What should we do then? Those great knights are enough to give us a hard time, not to mention there's also a third-class apprentice."

"There's no turning back now; we have no choice but to fight with all our might!"

Lin Meng touched the disposable, enchanted item made from the heart of a scaled beast in his pocket...

He could only pin his hopes on this battle.

……

"what!"

A chorus of wails filled the road.

These were soldiers wounded by crossbow bolts. Compared to these, many more soldiers, even apprentice knights and knights, were shot through or pinned to the ground, and had long since died.

Compared to the Grand Knights who possess a life force field for protection, the Knights and Apprentice Knights are no different from ordinary soldiers when faced with a barrage of arrows.

"Lin Meng!"

Asahi Hiromitsu gritted his teeth as he stared at the crossbow bolts shooting out from the reeds. Without even thinking, he could guess that Lin Meng's army was lying in ambush here.

"Kill them! Kill them all!"

The angry roar of Asahi Hiromitsu echoed.

The surviving knights and great knights immediately rushed into the reeds.

"Return it!"

Tracy shouted, his expression fierce as he stared at the reeds, "Set them on fire! Set them on fire! Use the flames to force them out!"

Upon hearing Tracy's words, Asahi Hiromitsu's eyes lit up.

Isn't this reed bed a natural fuel source?

"This is divine intervention! Fire arrows! Fire rockets! Burn them alive!"

Xu Rihongguang shouted loudly.

The surrounding soldiers immediately mounted their rockets and quickly fired them into the reeds.

With hundreds of people setting fires simultaneously, and the reeds having an extremely high ignition point, the fire quickly spread at an unimaginable speed.

Tracy noticed the unusual burning of the flames and quickly realized something. His expression changed drastically: "No, something's wrong. The burning speed is wrong. Stop! Stop firing the arrows!"

The flames burned too fast.

Moreover, at this moment he realized that, given Lin Meng's cautious and invincible record, he couldn't have failed to consider the possibility of them burning the reeds before setting up the ambush.

Considering all the above reasons, there is only one possibility—Lin Meng's people are also setting fires, hoping that the fire will burn brightly.

Thinking this, Tracy shouted, "Retreat! We need to get out of here!"

"Tracy, do you take orders lightly? How can you change them so easily? The road is at least ten meters away from the reeds; the fire can't reach it. Don't disrupt morale."

"Hiromitsu Asahi shouted angrily."

"Young Master Hongguang, there's a problem."

As Tracy spoke, she quickly noticed something, lifted the soil, and inside...

Surprisingly, they spilled a type of fuel with a milder smell.

Upon seeing this, Asahi Hiromitsu's expression changed drastically, and he frantically shouted, "Retreat! Retreat!"

After saying that, he took the lead and charged towards the rear of the army.

The other knights and great knights also realized the key point and immediately took off running.

"It's too late to run now."

Lin Meng sneered from a small mound in the distance.

Looking at the chaotic army of the Sunrise Group, he finally felt relieved.

If Asahi Hiromitsu had ignored everything and charged straight at them to fight to the death, it might have truly been a tough battle.

However, for now, all that needs to be dealt with are some powerful knights.

For the sake of secrecy, the fire actually didn't grow very large; what truly defeated them in the end was their own fear.

Good thing...

A series of unexpected events left the less experienced people at Sunrise Group unable to calmly consider this situation.

"Young Master Hongguang, let's hurry! We can run away over there!"

"A great knight said anxiously."

"Damn it!"

Asahi Hiromitsu stared at Lin Meng in the distance, his eyes practically spitting fire: "You bastard, how dare you scheme against me!"

"Young Master, Lin Meng and his men set the fire, so it's impossible that we weren't prepared. Now that things have come to this, we might as well charge in and fight them head-on. There might be some losses, but..."

Tracy chimed in from the side.

But before he could finish speaking, Asahi Hiromitsu shouted angrily, "It's all because of you! If you hadn't suggested setting the fire, we wouldn't be trapped in this inferno!"

"Young Master Hongguang, this is not the time to assign blame. We should find a way to ensure our own safety."

"Mafia said to Hiromitsu Asahi.

"Yes, charge! Let's break out!"

"I'm going crazy," said Hidemitsu Asahi.

His mental damage had just begun to heal, and the thought of dying here again and experiencing that agonizing mental torment was terrifying.

Therefore, all he wants now is to escape as quickly as possible.

"Young Master, Lin Meng has left us an obvious escape route; it's possible we're surrounded on three sides but missing one..."

Tracy shouted.

"roll!"

With a roar, Asahi Hiromitsu led his men to rush back the way they had come.

He believed that once they broke free from the area engulfed by the flames, he would still have a chance to completely annihilate Lin Meng with the knights and great knights under his command.
