At the entrance of the village, the knights were almost completely annihilated. On this side of the battlefield, there were only two companies of mage guards left.
If Pei Di had been any slower, he would not have had to face just one ogre Magus. He would have had to face four high-ranked ogre priests, four mid-ranked ogre Magi, and an army of over two hundred ogres.
The ogre Magus glanced at the human wizard who was disappearing and disappearing in the sky above the forest and did not give chase. He roared and called for four mid-ranked ogre Magi from the other side of the battlefield. He pointed in the direction where Auston had flown and ordered them to chase after him.
The four ogre Magi cast Fly spells on themselves. After rising into the air, they used Anywhere Door to chase after Auston.
After using three Fly scrolls, Feng Chou escaped the mountain ridge to the east of Avon Lake. In order to avoid bumping into other people who were escaping, he ran all the way to a small mountain seven to eight kilometers east of the mountain ridge.
Feng Chou landed under the shade of a large tree at the top of the mountain ridge. He immediately turned his attention to the situation of the battlefield that Qiankun Pagoda was broadcasting to him.
At this moment, the battle had completely ended. The ogres were cleaning up the battlefield, taking the armor from the dead human warriors.
Some of the ogres even carried the human corpses to the lake to clean and dig out the organs.
Feng Chou then had Qiankun Pagoda replay the battle from before.
He saw that not long after Pei Di had escaped, the four mid-ranked ogre Magi who were chasing after him had carried Sir John Aston's corpse back.
Seeing this scene, Feng Chou let out a long sigh. It seemed that this Ogre Encampment, this battle, was hiding a huge conspiracy behind it.
However, Feng Chou was not interested in other people's conspiracies. He still had a butt full of shit to deal with.
He then asked Qiankun Pagoda how much Soul Energy he had collected. Qiankun Pagoda told him that he had collected more than 10,000 Soul Energy, which was enough to upgrade Qiankun Pagoda.
Qiankun Pagoda's scanning range was less than 30 meters, but the range of absorbing soul power was much larger. Even Qiankun Pagoda was not clear about the specific range, because it was not Qiankun Pagoda that absorbed soul power, but the mysterious Reincarnation Mirror.
Feng Chou wasn't happy at all with such a bountiful harvest. He had planned to harvest some Gnolls and Ogres' soul power, but he hadn't expected to harvest a large amount of human soul power.
Moreover, Feng Chou was also worried about how to get Qiankun Pagoda back.
In the past, he did not know that there was such a powerful Ogre tribe hidden in the camp, so he foolishly sneaked in. Now that he knew, he did not dare to go.
Just as Feng Chou was in a dilemma, Qiankun Pagoda suddenly sent him a piece of bad news.
Feng Chou's Phantom in the Mage Academy was attacked!
Through the image transmitted by Qiankun Pagoda, Feng Chou saw that the Phantom he left in the laboratory was repeating the actions of the magic experiment according to his preset script. A black shadow suddenly appeared behind the Phantom, and with a wave of his hand, a cold light swept across the back of the Phantom's neck.
Then … Nothing happened!
The black shadow was obviously shocked and suddenly retreated, facing the Phantom in a defensive posture that was still operating according to the script.
After observing for a moment, the black shadow finally realized that the person in front of him was not his target, but just a Phantom.
This black shadow obviously had a certain understanding of magic, and he quickly locked his eyes on the clock box on the test bench.
The black shadow stepped forward, grabbed the clock box, and waved the short sword in his hand, fiercely cutting the small statue of Leo's father on the clock box into two halves.
The structure and circuit of the magic item were destroyed, and the spell naturally dissipated. The Phantom in front of the test bench disappeared without a trace.
The black shadow thought for a moment, picked up the half of the statue, put it in his arms, and quietly left the laboratory with the broken clock box.
After watching the image, Feng Chou could not help but break out in a cold sweat.
Although there was no Qiankun Pagoda's scan, Feng Chou himself was a level 4 Rogue. He could judge from the black shadow's assassination attempt, the movement, speed, and distance that this was a very powerful Rogue, probably a high-grade Rogue.
If he did not sneak out of the school, he would have to face the assassination of such an Assassin, and he would probably not be able to escape this assassination.
After calming down and thinking about it carefully, the timing of this assassination was really clever.
When was the defense of the Antalya Mage School at its weakest?
Wasn't it today?
Today, Mr. Pei Di was not here, which meant that the Mage Tower had no master, and its reaction would be much slower.
In order to prevent the Mage Tatarin from going out of control, the Mage Tower's master would set a lot of restrictions on the Tower Spirit's independent handling authority.
And this high-grade Rogue took advantage of this gap to sneak into the school and kill people …
After the initial panic, Feng Chou's mentality calmed down again.
There were still two days left before the end of his lease of the laboratory, so he still had some buffer time.
If he sneaked back to the school now, maybe he could pretend that this assassination did not happen at all.
But Feng Chou did not intend to go back like this. On the one hand, the assassination just now made him a little scared, and he really did not want to go back and continue to be a target. On the other hand, he also felt that this was an opportunity to get rid of Darnel's control.
If this assassination did not happen and he escaped from Darnel's control, then Darnel was likely to find a way to threaten him with Gloria.
But if he used this opportunity to escape, Darnel was likely to think that he was kidnapped by the Gray Shadow Chamber of Commerce, not escaped.
If the other party came to this conclusion, naturally, he would not trouble Gloria and would only focus on the Gray Shadow Chamber of Commerce.
After thinking about this matter clearly, Feng Chou concentrated on observing the Ogre Encampment. For him, the most important thing now was to get back the Qiankun Pagoda.
Then he saw a scene that made him extremely uncomfortable.
A barbecue of human flesh!
Although Feng Chou also had memories of cannibalism in the late Ming Dynasty, the next scene was still difficult for him to accept.
The Ogres chose the youngest and strongest corpses from the battlefield and pulled them to the lake. They washed them clean, cut off their heads, dug out their innards, and threw them into the lake. Then they used wooden sticks to skewer the remaining corpses and held a barbecue in the encampment.
Dozens of human corpses were skewered on wooden sticks and placed above the bonfire with two wooden forks. The Ogres talked and laughed wantonly as they flipped the corpses. Some impatient fellows tore off the roasted arms from the corpses and tore into the uncooked human flesh with big mouthfuls.
Feng Chou's memories of cannibalism in his previous life were when he was starving and in order to survive.
For Feng Chou, the sight of the Ogres openly placing people on the bonfire and barbecuing them like pigs still had an indescribable impact.
This scene made Feng Chou feel fear, pain, and disgust. It also made him feel extreme disgust and hatred for the Ogres.
