Chapter 1501 Defending the Homeland (Ⅰ)

In a two-storey wooden house at the northernmost point of Delin Town, a beam of light suddenly rose from the center of the living room on the first floor, and the figure of the young mage slowly emerged.

Before the dizziness caused by the teleportation was completely eliminated, Joan couldn't wait to rush out of the house.

The rain was still falling, the night sky was filled with moisture, and there was a faint smell of blood in the wind.

Joan had already activated the "dark vision" attached to the prosthetic eye, and his vision was not affected by the night, so he quickly observed the surrounding situation.

There were faint shouts of killing in the distance, but there were no traces of fighting near his house. It seemed that the enemy hadn't broken into the town yet, which made him feel a little relieved.

Joan listened attentively, and the shouts of killing mainly came from two directions.

The sound coming from the west was relatively weak, presumably Colonel Vasa led the troops to fight against the navy army attacking the main gate of Delin Town.

The sound of fighting from the forest in the north was more intense, and it was closer to Joan's location. It should be the gnoll corps that climbed over the cliff overnight and launched a surprise attack from the back of the town.

Joan made a decision without much hesitation, transformed into a Hawkman form, and flew north in the drizzle.

After flying not far away, Joan saw the wooden house by the woods where his grandfather lived.

A line of simple repelling horses was lined up near the wooden house. The Delin town militiamen and Asa warriors held their positions, holding shields or crossbows tightly in their hands, and all eyes were fixed on the dense forest less than a hundred yards away.

In the open space between the defensive position and the dense forest, dozens of wolf man corpses lay lying down, and the pitted ground was covered with rainwater mixed with blood.

Joan folded his eagle wings and landed on the ground, immediately arousing the vigilance of the defenders. Magny and Flint also turned their heads and recognized him before putting down their guard.

"Brother Joan, when did you come back?"

Magny came over and asked.

"Just got home."

"How about Weiss, is the ambush going well?"

"It's going well. Letu's troops were dispersed by the flood and suffered heavy casualties." Joan briefly introduced the results of the Battle of the Valley, and then asked Magni, "How is your side?"

"The cunning wolf man took advantage of the rainy night to climb over the mountain and sneak into the dense forest, intending to rush into the town from the weakest defense area."

"Fortunately, Kandy and the little girl named Ruby were very vigilant. When they noticed the wolf man's movements, they rushed to the headquarters in time to call the police."

"Brother Flint and I brought people here, just in time for a vanguard gnoll battle group rushing out of the dense forest. Several brothers were sacrificed."

Magny sighed, looking at the dense forest with resentment and worry intertwined.

"More and more gnolls have climbed over the cliff and entered the forest area. If more than a thousand gnolls rush out in a swarm after they are assembled, together with their hyena servants, we alone may not be able to resist .”

"But we are even more afraid that the jackals will not take the initiative to attack, and just hide in the woods to contain us. The longer the time drags on, the greater the pressure on Colonel Vasa. Take the town from the west and we'll be in big trouble!"

"That's right!" The old dwarf Flint stroked his bushy beard wet by the rain, and shouted depressingly: "The most annoying thing is this damn bad weather! If it wasn't raining all the time, we could have let it go." Set fire to the woods and burn those sneaky bastards to death!"

Magny gave the old dwarf a nasty look.

"Brother Flint, don't talk nonsense! This forest is the ancestral property left by Mr. Thiel to Joan, can it be burned as soon as it is said?"

The rich and powerful old dwarf put his hands on his hips and snorted heavily: "It's just a forest, I can buy it with money!"

If the enemy could be driven back, Joan would not mind setting fire to his own forest, but it was impossible to set fire in this rainy weather, and he didn't think it was necessary.

"Mr. Flint, Brother Magny, please stop arguing, where did Conti, Ruby, Gray and Jamie go?"

"That girl, Kandy, clamoring to protect the cabin in the woods, it's just nonsense!"

When mentioning his sister, Magny showed a headache expression.

"I advised her to be careful of the gnolls lurking in the woods and not to take risks, but she didn't listen at all, and ran away with Miss Ruby, the gray marsupial and the white wolf, and she should be in the hut right now .”

Joan nodded, and turned to look at the cabin in the forest, with a look of worry in his eyes.

The "Mythical Link" that was blessed on Conti and Ruby yesterday has expired, so Joan had to use the "SMS technique" to try to get in touch with Conti.

Fortunately, I received a reply from Kanti in less than two minutes.

"Joan, you're back!"

"Grey, Jamie, Minnie and I are all at the cabin in the woods, by the way, little Ruby is also with us!"

"A gnoll leader has taken over the hut, intending to use it as his chapter headquarters."

"Of course we can't tolerate these bandits messing around, so we slaughtered them all."

"Afterwards, two groups of gnolls came to make trouble, but we also repelled them."

After reading Kandy's reply and knowing that everything is fine, Qiao An's long-sustained heart finally fell into his stomach.

After thinking for a while, he turned to Flint and Magny and said, "I'll go find Kandy and the others, and clean up the gnolls in the forest by the way."

"You alone? It's too dangerous!" Flint shook his head again and again. "I don't think this is a good idea!"

Joan didn't say much, and directly extracted the energy of "Tears of God" to fill up the "Power of Myth".

After this whole day of fighting, Joan's spell slots have been exhausted, and "Sid's mana" has long been used up. After replenishing the 9 "power of myth", the energy stored in "Tears of God" is also exhausted. There is only one third left.

Joan has no time to rest now, unable to recover mana, and can only rely on these existing resources to defend his home.

He first stimulated a "power of myth", combined with the super magic skill "advanced spell delay", raised the 3-ring protection spell "Reverse Arrow" to 4-ring, and extended the effective duration to ten hours.

For Joan's first-level spell slots, two each of "Mage Armor" and "Shield Spell" were prepared, and now this spare is also in use.

Next, Joan activated the "Stone Skin Technique" attached to the diamond belt buckle, and the supernatural ability "Extraordinary Elegance", which was awakened not long ago, by the high-level goblin, and took adequate defensive measures.

In the end, Joann restarted the "transfiguration" and turned into a majestic "mythical cockatrice". He waved his wings, said goodbye to Magni and Flint who had been stupefied, and then strode towards the opposite side woodland.
