Abe the Wizard

The dead body of those Pecker Orcs scattered below the Miracle Wall basically forming a ladder 20 meters outwards.

By that point the Firewall spell could no longer clear those dead bodies. As soon as some dead bodies were cleared more would come and fill up the spot. Seemed like it was only going to get more from then on.

By that point Abel had become a little speechless. He had fought countless battles in the Dark World, but he still could not understand what he was seeing.

Those Pecker orcs’ attacks were basically useless. They were basically just wasting their lives, no way they were going to do anything to the Miracle Wall.

”K3516, do you know why the Miracle walls are unbalanced on each side now?” K3003 said grimly.

”Because of the dead bodies?” Abel almost did not know how to reply.

”For the past 1000 years, the orcs will do an attack like this once in a while, maybe around 2-3 months. Sometimes bigger scale, sometimes smaller!” K3003 lowered his voice and explained.

”You see those rocks the orcs brought with them? They also add to the volume. We have people to clean them up, but those dead bodies are harder because...” k3305 came to a pulse.

”Because what?” Abel followed.

”No need to explain, just watch!” Said k3305 pointing outside of the Miracle Wall.

By that point the Pecker Orcs’ dead body had already stacked to 100 meters tall, and there were still hundreds of thousands of them coming with their boar. The black cloaked deities protected by Pecker knights were also slowly approaching.

There were also 10 giant orc crossbows, and they stopped at around 600 meters out.

”Why don’t our intermediate wizards stop them, why do we just let them do what they like outside?” Abel was even more confused.

”By this point nothing can hurt them other than a long distance crossbow. Those deities had already dominated the outside.

”How?” Abel kept asking.

”Didn’t you see all those dead bodies?” No way our intermediate wizards can win the orc deities in a condition like this. They will just die outside of the Miracle Wall!” K3003 knew Abel was new, so he explained patiently.

By that point Abel finally understood k3003. Those dead bodies outside was filled with death qi, it was heaven for deities.

The countless dead bodies had provided endless resources for the deities to do their ’corpses explosion’ and ’poison explosion’ spell. If an intermediate wizard entered that environment, it would be very hard for them to dodge those countless exploding dead bodies even if they could move in a flash.

”But using a crossbow should be fine right?” Abel asked again.

”You know what? Miracle City will not use crossbows if we can’t retrieve the arrows. Although they are only 600 meters out, it is still very hard to hurt those deities with those knights protecting them. Those Pecker Knights will sacrifice themselves to protect a deity, and the Orc Empire will also happily exchange a Pecker knight for an armour piercing arrow!” K3003 explained again. He was not bothered.

By that point the Pecker Knights had already held up the giant orc crossbows and installed an arrow on to it. In Abel’s view, the quality of their arrows were acceptable at most.

A deity waved its hand, and an arrow flew out towards the Miracle wall. A white light flashed and a little white shield blocked the arrow just before it hit the wall.

The second arrow followed, but it was blocked by the light shield again before it even touched the Miracle Wall.

However Abel noticed something different. The power of those arrows were changing.

Under the observation circle of the miracle wall, Abel could see that those arrows had slowed down all of a sudden. Those arrows clearly had some strange patterns on them.

The third giant orc crossbow also began to fire, but the result was just the same. Soon, all the giant orc crossbows followed and the entire Miracle Wall had turned quite. Seemed like everyone was focused on watching what those deities were up to

Abel noticed the following 8 arrows had slightly different patterns. As a Grandmaster Blacksmith, he was no stranger to patterns. These were all patterns from the Dwarf’s armour piercing arrows, but they all had some kind of defect. They were nowhere as strong.

If these patterns were drawn on the highest quality iron instead of normal ones, maybe it could get a few times more powerful.

An idea suddenly emerged within Abel. Were the orcs trying to copy the dwarfs?

The dwarfs’ armour piercing arrows pattern were specially inherited by the dwarfs. It could increase an arrow’s speed and power by a few times.

The dwarfs had always kept this pattern secret. Even Abel himself did not think about looking into it. But with his relationship with the dwarfs, he could just buy as many of them as he wanted, no need to make it by himself one by one.

Although Abel did not react fast enough to scan the first arrow from the orcs, he could clearly see the following 9 arrows. By this point he was sure that the orc deities were testing armour piercing arrows.

”The orc deities arrows have problems. They have armour piercing ability!” Abel lowered his voice.

”You sure?” K3003 quickly asked. He also noticed that the orcs were doing something weird today.

”Why don’t you just try to get one of those arrows shot out and take a look?” Abel gazed at him.

Label really didn’t know how to explain. Was he just going to tell everyone he’s a Grandmaster Blacksmith and he had tens of thousands of armour piercing arrows?

K3003 gaze back looking even more serious. If Abel was not a wizard who had killed a head commander, he would not believe it. Armour piercing arrows were exclusively inherited by the dwarfs. Although you could see the pattern on the arrows, those patterns were endlessly encrypted. No way it could be broken easily.

If this is true, then the orcs would soon grasp a powerful attack method. If an armour piercing arrow was made with the best iron, it could really form a threat to the Miracle Wall.

Not only the Miracle Wall, but those wizards who had not grasped the move in a flash could also get a taste of it during their fight with a deity.

K3003 took out his military card and walked to a side to quiet his talk to someone. Abel did not spy on him with his power of the will. They were all wizards, they were all very sensitive to power of the will.

Soon, k3003 walked back to Abel and said gently ”I’ve just talked to the guardian wizards, they said they will try to get an arrow back for us to do research!”

Abel then used his military card’s surveillance circle to look at the battle again. At that moment 2 dark shadows were speeding towards the Miracle Wall, their target was the arrow.

Normally the Orc Empires had a deep longing for iron. Even a little bit of iron was like treasure to them.

As the 2 dark shadows got closer, 3 firewalls appeared in front of them, and fully surrounded anywhere they could go.

”No, the humans are going to take our arrows. Let’s go, destroy those arrows!” A black cloaked deity yelled.

All of a sudden the deities all lifted up their hands, and began to gather their death qi at full speed. It was at that moment, a white light flashed next to a damaged arrow. An intermediate wizard appeared and grabbed it.

The dead bodies began to expand, it was too late for that intermediate to use a ’move in a flash’ since any spell needed time to initiate. Luckily that intermediate had padded his chest in him and vanished from the spot.

Abel could see very clearly that the intermediate had sacrificed a ’move in a flash’ magic scroll.
