Abe the Wizard

Chapter 666 - Surrounded

Chapter 666 Surrounded

According to the plan, the team would first go through the tightest passage of the wolf garden straight into the desert of death.After some rest, they continued forward under the flashes of intermediate wizards. Suddenly, a blue falcon appeared up above, making head commander Donald yell.“Careful, there’s an orc sky eye!” As head commander Donald yelled, he rubbed some powder on his body.

The powder could hide a person’s scent. This way, the wolves could not smell them. Although they had been spotted by the sky eye, as long as they used a barrier circle every time they stopped, they could very well escape the wolves’ surveillance.

All other men in the team began to rub the scent hiding powder on themselves as well. Afterward, the wizards further increased its flashing speed.

However, soon head commander Donald realized something wrong. More and more blue falcons began to emerge from the sky. As they began to move faster, 5 blue falcons were already above them.

After around 50 miles, 10 blue falcons were swirling in the sky.

Of course, Head Commander Donald and his team would not have time to admire this rare beauty. But still, normally, every 10,000 wolf riders would only have 1 sky eye.

So what did10 blue falcons signify? Everyone in the team knew full well.

“Damn, are all the wolf riders in the wolf garden coming for us?” Head Commander Donald mumbled to himself as he stared at the sky.

“Where should we go?” Wizard Hubert lowered his voice.

The 5 intermediate wizards didn’t care how many wolf riders there were. They were still not too far from Miracle City. If they let go of their head commander and use a potion to fully unleash their power. They should be able to safely flashback to the Miracle Wall.

This was the biggest difference between an intermediate wizard and a head commander. With the ‘move in a flash,’ their survival rate was dramatically increased. They could still escape, even if they could not win.

‘Straight. We still have around 10 miles until we reach the desert of death. As long as we speed through the desert of death, no wolf riders will come after us, no matter how many there are!” Head Commander Donald’s eyes began to sparkle. He knew that it was best to go as far from the Miracle as possible—this way, the intermediate wizards had to take them along for protection.

“Wooo.. wooo...!” The sound of horns emerged. However, this sound seemed to be coming from all directions. All of a sudden, they knew they were surrounded.

Still, head commander Donald and his team couldn’t understand how this was possible.

“That’s not right. This is not the horn of worgen!” Wizard Hubert yelled. He did quite a lot of research on the orcs.

“Not wolf riders? We are in the wolf garden, so what else could it be?” Head Commander Donald interrupted. Actually, Head Commander Donald knew it was the horn of Tauren, but at the moment, they had to focus on breaking through, not investigate which species it was.

Wizard Hubert exchanged gaze with the other intermediate wizards. Their power of the will was far more powerful than head commanders. So they could discuss among themselves through their power of the will.

No matter how powerful a knight was in the Holy Continent, their status was behind wizards. As soon as a wizard reached an intermediate rank, they could totally disregard a head commander.

Although those 5 head commanders were known as the most powerful force in Miracle City, they were nothing more than a giant shield for those 5 intermediate wizards.

Normally, they would treat each other as equals, but the wizards could discuss among themselves if a real threat arose. Head commander Donald’s words would only be taken as a consideration.

“It will take us 150 hours to get back to Miracle City and 50 more miles to the desert of death. Everyone vote!” Wizard Hubert asked the 4 other wizards through the power of the will without speaking.

“This situation doesn’t look right. I have never seen this many sky eyes. I vote to go back!” A wizard suggested.

“No. If we get attacked on our way back, we will be done as soon as our power of the will and mana get used up. We still have 50 miles to the desert of death. We’ll have mana even if we need to fight!” Another wizard refused.

“There’s no time to discuss; just vote!” Wizard Hubert said desperately as he heard the sound of drums emerging alongside the horns.

Soon the decision was made. 3 voted to continue towards the desert of death.

“Let’s increase our speed, straight to the desert of death!” Wizard Hubert yelled and drank down a recovery potion. Head Commander Donald let out a breath of relief. He knew the wizards had just discussed amongst themselves. But what could he do anyway? If those wizards really decided to leave them, they would die, even as the most powerful force of Miracle City.

He really missed Wizard Cyrillic. He was close with wizard Cyrillic and the dead Wizard Amos. Originally, wizard Cyrillic was going to join them as well, but Wizard Cyrillic had somehow gone insane the day before they departed.

Actually, Head Commander Donald also had some speculation of why Wizard Hubert had gone insane. The day before, he had begged him to borrow the orc battle drum and orc tooth map from Abel.

And he went insane the next day after he had a talk with Abel.

Head Commander Donald knew Abel had definitely done something, but he could tell anyone. As much as he hated Abel, the others in the trading group didn’t.

If the others knew how powerful Abel’s background was, there was no way they would even get close to him. So, head Commander Donald wanted to use this opportunity and get rid of Abel as soon as possible.

“It would have been so good if we had the orc battle drum!” Head Commander Naishi sighed.

He had sighed during the pause of their flash, so everyone could hear his words.

It was true. They would be able to wipe out all of those sky eyes with a battle drum, and those orcs would not be able to stop them, no matter how many there were.

At this moment, a roaring galloping sound emerged in front of head commander Donald. It was a super large scale team of at least 100,000 Wolf riders.

There were far more wolf riders than they had expected, and there were quite a lot of priests as well. The skeletons were even faster than the mount wolf.

“Turn! Turn left!” Head Commander Donald yelled.

A spark of hesitation flashed in Wizard Hubert’s eyes. Those alluring orc god blood couldn’t make him throw away the head commander Donald next to him, but in the face of real danger, head commander Donald would just be a drag.

But still, he would listen to head commander Donald’s instructions until the last moment, so he flashed left.

But, something was already behind them—a skeleton.

The skeleton of a priest could function beyond their range. All they needed was to give them a clear target.

Head Commander Donald and his team were the targets, and the skeletons would not stop attacking.

Of course, it was not easy to catch up to Head Commander Donald. ‘Move in a flash’ was almost beyond the law of nature. If they didn’t need to redraw the spell pattern with every flash, there was no way those skeletons would be able to catch up.

However, this team of humans seemed to run into another obstacle as they moved left in a flash. There was a huge team of wolf riders with a large number of skeletons rushing towards head commander Donald.
