Chapter 953 Abnormality and Advance and Retreat
"Well?"
The situation on the battlefield suddenly changed.
Obviously he was not at a disadvantage, but the beholder turned back as soon as he said he would, and led the hobgoblins back into the depths of the cave.
As soon as they made a move, the lizard people who were fighting outside naturally fled and quickly followed them in.
But the coalition forces had no intention of taking advantage of the situation to pursue them.
In the blink of an eye, the fierce fighting outside the cave completely stopped.
On the battlefield, a large number of lizard man corpses were left.
Of course, there are inevitably casualties on the coalition side.
Such a sudden change.
Isaac's eyes revealed a little bit of strange color unconsciously.
From his perspective, he could certainly see that the beholder had no chance of losing.
Even though he was controlled by the phaerinn, whether it was a beholder or an illithid, his ability in the realm of evil was greatly reduced.
However, this does not mean that the beholder will really let others bully him.
Not to mention anything else, just look at the ten eye stalks of the beholder, which can be released at will through the supernatural ability of "eyeball rays", similar to "charm monsters", "charm humans", "dissociation", The spell effects of "Fear", "Finger of Death", "Petrification", "Causing Moderate Injury", "Sleep", "Slowness", and "Telekinesis" are worthy of their past. The name of evil and evil.
Not to mention, the beholder's main eye can also release a large-scale cone-shaped "anti-magic field" to the area ahead.
Such ability is the natural enemy of spellcasters.
Of course, the ability is strong, but unfortunately, it is only a supernatural ability after all.
Although supernatural abilities have the advantage of ignoring spell resistance, whether it is "growth" or "upper limit", like a dragon or a phaerinn, they have growth and can be matched with various specialties. Especially the spellcasting ability of metamagic expertise, which is completely incomparable.
Standing at Isaac's level, all the supernatural abilities of the beholder, except for the "anti-magic field" which ignores all immunity and has practical significance, all other "eyeball rays" and "magic power" are completely absent. in his eyes.
Of course, he can ignore these, but this does not mean that ordinary professionals, especially middle and low-level professionals, can face those rays and charge at the beholder regardless.
Isaac looked away from the cave and looked at the coalition forces.
At this time, there was a spell caster who was using the scroll to remove the petrification of those who were petrified.
There are also priests who are dispelling the "charm" and "slowness" of their companions.
There is also a special vigilance team to guard against the surrounding situation, especially over the cave, to see if the beholders will come back to kill them again.
But at the same time……
On the one hand, he was pondering the beholder's sudden retreat, and on the other hand, he was observing the coalition team.
Suddenly, Isaac's heart moved.
He has somewhat grasped the core of the change.
"distance!"
"The battle is fierce."
"But this team is always 150 feet away from the cave entrance!"
"And the beholder, even with the protection of the hobgoblins, will hardly get out of the cave any further!"
"Such distance control..."
"These two sides are quite interesting!"
Some clarity was revealed in Isaac's eyes.
150 feet is an extremely useful and practical distance interval.
The beholder's eye wave ray has a maximum distance of 150 feet!
The anti-magic field area of the beholder's main eye is also a cone-shaped covering space with a range of 150 feet!
The battle is so fierce, but the distance is still controlled...
"The coalition forces probably have the intention to lure this beholder out of the cave!"
"The beholder's intelligence has long been certain of this, and he even has the intention to lure the coalition forces down into the cave!"
"It looks like the fighting is fierce, but in fact, neither side is eager to reach the top, and both have grasped the room for advancement and retreat."
"So, the beholder's retreat, on the one hand, depends on whether the coalition forces will continue to pursue it, on the other hand, and more importantly... I am afraid that there is a judgment that the reinforcements from behind the coalition forces are about to arrive. !”
In the current situation, it is no longer time for Felin Mokui to lead his army to besiege Efraska.
When most of the phaerinns were trapped in the ruins of Efraska by the "shadow shield", even if the evil monsters outside were not scattered, it was obvious that there would be no possibility of the same thing as before. momentum.
On the contrary, although the casualties on Efraska's side were extremely heavy, after Felin Demon Kui was trapped within the "shadow shield", a corresponding force was concentrated.
Outside, the balance of power between the two sides is completely reversed.
Beholders and illithids are no longer capable of conducting large-scale frontal wars.
More, they can only carry out some harassment attacks, or see if they can lead the coalition forces underground.
While making this judgment.
"These big eyeballs are a bit useless after all."
"Big eyes that don't transform into 'Eye Magician' have no future!"
"The entire city of beholders is enslaved by the Felin Demon Kui, which proves this point!"
"On the Zhentarim side, those who serve the Archmage and the Lord of Darkness sect are also average!"
From the perspective of the dragon, Isaac expressed his contempt for the beholders, believing that these guys, including the illithids, should not be included in the same level as the five-color dragons.
On the other side, the figure was also leaving.
We have already made contact with Laila. Although Laila is busy at this time and cannot come over for the time being, we think it will be soon.
At this time, he would naturally not chase the beholder underground.
"No matter whether there are still sporadic Felin demons under the ground, controlling these monsters."
"Now that the Elf Holy Sword has been returned to Efraska, these monsters are just 'peripheral'!"
"The most important thing now is..."
Looking at the dark realm in the distance, a strange color passed through the depths of Isaac's eyes.
But he was also curious.
When this Elf Holy Sword returns to Efraska...
"Is it the Felin Demon Sunflower, or is it the City of Shadows? Who will be its first target?"
However, while I am curious...
In his heart, Isaac also felt a little hesitation in Yayoi.
Efraska's situation was much more interesting than he had expected!
Whether it is Felin Demon Sunflower or City of Shadows, these are all of great research value.
But unfortunately...
His time is really running out!
From what I saw, I could tell that Efraska must be making big moves.
And no matter which side this big move is directed towards, if he stays, he will inevitably make big gains.
But...he really doesn't have much time!
Gathering of Five-Colored Dragons!
Team up with Ivy Coglan and Claudia Marta to target Balagas!
Conjurer's Castle!
Then there are all the great glaciers and cold places...
Now that he is getting closer and closer to "Dragon Madness", it is impossible for him to squeeze out more time!
(There is still a little missing today, and my eyes keep fighting. I’ll add another chapter tomorrow.)
