I hope he doesn’t notice us.
– Why are you so afraid of him? An ordinary mob!
– Ordinary, you say? Take a closer look at his fighting spirit!
I looked and was stunned! Four thousand! I’m a little dressed up now, and I have almost four hundred. Sienna is more fashionable – eight hundred and twenty.
– And this is not the most interesting thing! It’s not even about lives. His shield against many techniques periodically turns on. This is the guard of the technicians’ castle. The mechanical bear has incredible strength, the damage it does is simply terrible! Here, get dressed. Otherwise you’re a beggar, wearing all sorts of cast-offs.
She gave me a couple of fancy rings, pants and a shirt.
– Thank you!
– Yes, contact me! We are now in the same clan!
Once again, I note that the game is drawn simply masterfully. I was even a little embarrassed, pulling off my pants and sparkling with all the drawn charms.
– Come on, why are you, I’ll turn away if I’m so shy! – Sienna guessed my thoughts.
As soon as the kit was slightly updated, the parameters immediately doubled. In general, I found my ideal girlfriend.
The bear finally noticed us. He roared and rushed towards us.
– DONE! – without thinking, I shouted. But the yellow shock wave passed through the bear, he didn’t even bat an eyelid, he ran on. Only somewhere behind him, several trees felled by my magic fell.
– I told you – he is almost always invulnerable! Run! We will strike when the shield goes down.
The bear bit me on the leg, and now I was physically unable to run. Screamed. It hurts, though! Blood flowed down my knee. I wonder if he’s not mad?
– HILLAR! – Sienna thought faster than me. A pair of blue lilies fell on the leg, and the wound healed instantly. – Now let’s run! Faster! Don’t fall behind!
We ran, and somewhere behind us a mechanical beast was knocking down trees and howling loudly.
– Faster! Sienna shouted. – His protection fell off! Hit! DONE!
– MALLEBAR-ESSA! – I said, shooting orange sparks at the beast.
– No, we can’t handle him alone. Look, we damage him, but he recovers much faster. I told you there was no need to attract his attention.
– Who said it was just the two of us? – a voice was heard somewhere from behind the trees. Three strong gnomes with axes and a red-haired elf came out from there, all with staves at the ready.
– Still! Bran! Robert! Marie! I’m so glad to see you! White Corsairs assembled! Full party! Watch out, machine!
The bear looked at us all and growled loudly. He ran towards me, and I barely had time to jump to the side.
– Get ready! Sienna shouted. – Now his shield will fall off! – she seemed to be the leader.
– MALLEBAR! – we shouted in one voice, without saying a word. Six orange lightning bolts flew towards the beast, and the brotherhood reception turned into a bird blazing with orange flames, which began to scratch its eyes. Literally a few seconds passed, and the bear had five hundred units of morale left.
– Oh, and a tenacious creature, after all! – Still said. – With this technique you can burn half a district! And he just went to lick his wounds.
Blue butterflies were again flying around the bear, which meant that it was useless to beat the animal. We scattered to make it more difficult for the enemy to kill everyone.
– Try not to die! – Sienna shouted as she ran. – If anything happens, I’ll pick it up! Just a spawn point a few kilometers away! We won’t wait for anyone.
As soon as these words were said, the not at all friendly bear knocked down first Still, and then me. It’s not a positive feeling at all – as if someone poured fire instead of blood. I fell to the ground, and the inscription shone above me:
«Your first death! But don’t despair – maybe Fate will give you another chance?»
When the shield fell, the guys used another volley, which finished off the bear. He fell to the ground and the steel body rang.
– HILLAR-HILLARUS-EN! Marie and Sienna said almost simultaneously. Still and I were enveloped in a blue fog. All my bones ached, an unpleasant tingling current ran through my body, but I was alive again and stood firmly on my own two feet.
– Okay, now let’s go inside. Just be quiet! The main thing is not to be noticed! – Sienna commanded again. We followed her into a stone cave.
***
We found ourselves in a huge hall made of steel. There were robots walking around here and there. And there were many people in black cloaks with hoods.
– Something is wrong this time! There’s something I don’t like! Sienna said.
– What exactly? – Robert asked.
– Look around! Where do so many conquests come from? Here, our opponents should only be their main and one of their assistants. And here there are more conquest soldiers than technicians! And this is in their own hometown! Okay, let’s see what happens next. Why not lose the task because of a couple of dozen creeps?
In the center of the hall stood a gray-haired man in military uniform.
– Dirk! You have one last chance! Tell me the secret of your weapon, and I will give you life! Otherwise, tomorrow you will face the gallows.
– General Haber! – in the voice of the head of the conquests one could read undisguised joy. «I need my staff for this.» I’ll tell you a secret.
– Bring in the staff! – the general commanded. – Just remember! No nonsense. A hundred crossbows of my robots are aimed at you. One move that seems suspicious to them can riddled you right through!
– Yes, General, I understand that very well. Let’s get the staff already!
Dirk grabbed the weapon he brought.
– Shoot only at the target! – the general shouted to him. – I want to know your secrets too! We technicians have always envied magicians who had technology that was inaccessible to us. But now the injustice will be eliminated!
– There is no secret. A few words can do a lot. HEYMO! SAMPT! – Dirk’s body was now protected by a blue dome. He burst into hysterical laughter and turned to Haber.
– I told you – shoot only at the target! – the general shouted in fear. «I’ll order you to be riddled with bullets – then you’ll see!» You’ll laugh then!
– Take a risk! I don’t mind at all.
– Kill
