Chapter 125: A Tragic Battle

“Ah!” Arthas heard this and was immediately shocked. He hurriedly said, “You, you actually refined them again?”

“Hehe!” The Old Mage smiled sheepishly and said, “I accidentally obtained the complete Formula a few days ago and couldn’t help but try to make some. The power is okay.”

“Ah!” Arthas suddenly remembered something and hurriedly said to Old Xie, “The thing you used to blow me up yesterday, was it this?”

“That was a mini version, the power is only one-tenth of the genuine one. Hehe, these are the genuine ones!” Old Xie said with a smile, “If I used it that day, it would definitely have blown you kid away!”

“Hehe, is that so? Then let me see how terrible this legendary weapon is on the pirates!” Arthas then did not say much nonsense and directly put the two bags into his Space Ring.

Although Arthas didn’t mind, Akashic and Arthas’s followers on the side could not help but break out in cold sweat, thinking, this Little Stephen is definitely a lunatic. How could he bring such dangerous stuff into the Imperial Palace? And he actually threw it to Arthas. If something happened, the number of people who would lose their heads would probably exceed five digits!

Thus, from then on, these people secretly labeled Old Xie as a super terrorist and would guard against him at all times. But the more they wanted to guard against him, the more problems occurred.

It turned out that there was a situation with the grouping next. 8 people sitting on four Wyverns, naturally two people had to share one, which obviously needed to be allocated according to body weight. Old Xie was over 2 meters tall, strong as a bull, and had the highest weight. Undoubtedly, to reduce the burden on the Wyvern he sat on, he had to be equipped with the lightest person.

Among the people going, Arthas was the lightest, and the others were only that Elf female mage who could be compared with him. But Arthas was obviously the kind of person who protected his subordinates. He refused to let that female mage be with Old Xie, afraid that Old Xie, this barbarian guy, would take advantage of her, so he insisted on being with Old Xie. The followers, having seen Old Xie’s horror, who would dare let Arthas be with Old Xie? They tried hard to persuade him, but unfortunately, those people could not persuade him in the end. Arthas still sat with Old Xie.

This made Old Xie extremely depressed too. That beautiful Elven female mage looked very beautiful. Although she was a married woman, hugging such a beauty was better than having a man in front, right? But he couldn’t stop her decision. In the end, he could only helplessly ride the same Wyvern with the pretty boy Arthas.

Since Constantine’s situation was extremely urgent, Old Xie and the others couldn’t care that the sky was dark and set off in a hurry. Under Old Xie’s shouting, the four Wyverns rose into the air and flew straight towards the southeast.

Everyone knew that when flying in the sky, it was easy to lose the way below. Birds were fine, they had a natural compass, but Old Xie and the others were not okay. Flying to a place 3000 li away, it was impossible to fly in a straight line at once, or they would definitely get lost.

Fortunately, Constantine reported that the place she was at was a seaside cliff, which gave Old Xie and the others a best coordinate. So, the four Wyverns first flew slightly east, flew for more than a day, saw the sea, and then flew south along the coastline all the way, flying while looking for traces of Constantine and the others.

Finally, after another night, on the morning of this day, everyone found the cliff where Constantine was from a long distance.

The reason why it was discovered so easily was that a very tragic battle was taking place there. As an important figure of the Hercules Family, Constantine was doing a big business this time, so naturally she did not bring few guards when she went out. A whole troop of 500 people protected her safety. Among them, 400 were temporarily hired mercenaries, and the other 100 were core members of the Hercules Family.

The 400 mercenaries had also cooperated for many years and were very reliable. Their strength was also quite good. Among them was a Level 6 Warrior, and half of the others were qualified warriors who knew Battle Qi. Even those who didn’t know Battle Qi had undergone strict training, and their quality was no worse than the elite soldiers of various countries. And the Hercules Family’s own warriors were even more powerful. The weakest was also a Level 3 Warrior, and there were also two Level 6 experts, one was a warrior, the other was a mage.

In addition, Constantine herself was not a flower vase. Because their Constantine family had intermarried with the Elves for generations, almost every member of them inherited the Natural Element magic talent of the Elves. Constantine herself was even more outstanding among them. Moreover, she grew up in the Forest of Elves. During her forty years of growing up, she had always been receiving the best magic education. So she was now also a Level 4 Natural Element Mage. (Constantine was a Half-Elf with a long lifespan; 40 years old was only equivalent to about 16 years old for humans.)

Therefore, generally speaking, Constantine’s team was still very strong. Ordinary people simply could not provoke them, which was why she dared to go to the City of Chaos.

But this time, she clearly miscalculated, or was set up by someone with a premeditated plan. Because the pirates who ambushed her actually numbered five thousand, a full ten times her number.

The composition of these pirates was mainly Low-rank Demons, mixed with some sub-humans living on the Demon Island, called Demonkin. The so-called Demonkin were actually the hybrids born after the extraterrestrial demons on the Demon Archipelago raped the local natives.

The Demon Archipelago was the general name for tens of thousands of large and small islands on the east coast of the continent. 10,000 years ago, there were no demons there, and it was the world of humans. But after a major earthquake 10,000 years ago, many Spatial Cracks opened on the Demon Archipelago, allowing demons from another world to invade this Plane.

At that time, although there were many humans on the Demon Archipelago, they were too scattered and had no unified command, so they could not stop the demon army at all. Soon the entire archipelago fell. Then after so many years of evolution, the people there gradually demonized and eventually formed various half-human, half-demon monsters. These guys almost all had mutated demon bloodlines. Some were very powerful, some were very weak, anyway, it varied.

In this group of pirates, the number of Demonkin was about 1,000, plus there were 3,000 lowest level Lesser Demons, more than 1,000 Horned Demons, and several hundred Hellhounds.

Lesser Demons were only about one meter tall, the lowest level demons. Their strength was only a bit stronger than Imps, and they could not even beat ordinary humans. But their numbers were too large, almost everywhere. They were timid by nature but had a little wisdom, and were easily coerced into doing things. So although their combat power was poor, some people liked to keep them, just treating them as slaves for rough work.

Horned Demons were more powerful than Lesser Demons, named for the two sharp horns on their heads. Their appearance was similar to bulls full of fire, but their body size was similar to ordinary humans. They could walk squatting on two legs, and the claws on their arms were very sharp, making them sharp weapons for combat. These guys were comparable to elite human soldiers, but if one could learn to use Battle Qi, then even the lowest level human warrior could easily defeat them.

As for Hellhounds, they were guys more powerful than Horned Demons. Each of them was as big as a human horse, with sharp and powerful teeth that could bite off a person’s thigh in one bite. In addition, their bodies were extremely agile and especially good at group attacks. One-on-one, at least a Level 2 human warrior was needed to be sure of winning.

As for those Demonkin, they looked strange. Some were completely dwarfs, looking even uglier than Lesser Demons. Some were very strong, with scales on their bodies and horns on their heads. Others were extremely close to humans. If it weren’t for their blood-red eyes being too unique, one could hardly see the difference between them and humans.

Besides these guys, there was a very unique mage team worth focusing on. They were a dozen guys wrapped in black robes, not revealing a single bit of skin. In the whole continent, only one kind of mage would dress like this, and that was the Undead Mage.

Although these guys bore the infamous name of being cursed by the Gods, no one could question their power. The main force attacking Constantine this time was these guys. They first drove the low-powered Lesser Demons to the front to die. After the corpses of the Lesser Demons piled up on the Frontline, they suddenly appeared and released the terrifying Corpse Explosion Spell, heavily damaging Constantine’s guard team in one fell swoop. On the spot, more than half of Constantine’s subordinates were lost.

If Constantine had known in advance that the other side had Undead Mages, she certainly would not have left those corpses of Lesser Demons. Unfortunately, by the time she knew, everything had already happened. Fortunately, the defensive position Constantine temporarily chose was good. The back and both sides were cliffs, so she only needed to guard the front, which allowed her to barely hold on.

But with wave after wave of endless pirate attacks, Constantine’s Defense Line gradually collapsed, and guards were killed by the other side one by one. By the end, there were only two people left beside her. A Level 6 Warrior was already unconscious and covered in wounds. The remaining Level 6 Fire Element Mage had long exhausted his Magic Power and was in a weak state, now without even the strength to stand up. Constantine herself had also exhausted her Magic Power, only holding on with a tenacious will. But looking at the group of Horned Demons and Demonkin slowly approaching in front, Constantine could not help but feel a burst of despair in her heart.
