Chapter 2 Serious Injuries
"Kordak !!," Vera couldn't help but scream when she saw this.
"Captain!" Kuroko was also startled.
"Boss!" Rondo rushed with red eyes, he finally knew Kordak's intentions.
The spells unleashed by this squad of mages were too much of a threat to the warriors of the entire independent brigade. If you don't find a way to abolish this mage squad, then the rout of the independent brigade is only a matter of time. This squad of mages must be solved!
And Kordaq thought about it for a long time, and the only solution was to find someone to resist this wave of spells. There is no doubt that the most suitable person is yourself. He is a high-level warrior who can form Dou Qi armor to resist magical damage, and he has a lava blade that is almost impossible to damage him with ordinary fire-based spells. More importantly, he is the captain, and he is not only responsible for commanding his men, but also responsible for protecting his men.
Kordaq thinks that those who just hide behind their subordinates and give orders are cowards, not commanders or leaders. So, in the past few months he has always been at the front, and today, he is the same.
The smoke cleared, and Kordaq still stood tall among the stokers. Even though his hair was scorched and messy, even though his armor was in tatters, even though his right hand holding the weapon was trembling slightly. But none of the Hawk Imperial soldiers felt embarrassed by Kordak, and when they looked at their captain, there was only great relief and almost fanatical reverence in their eyes.
"Aren't you dead yet?" the Stoke Empire's commander's eyelids jumped, and he remembered that the weapon that Kordak was holding in his hand was the weapon of the original Imperial General Dottern. With that weapon here, it's almost impossible to hurt him with the fireball technique!
"Then again!" the commander gritted his teeth and took a few steps forward, then began to whisper a spell, this guy turned out to be a mage!
As these obscure syllables were spit out, a turquoise glow emanated from the mage's hands. The color of this light is somewhat peculiar, but it is also because of the peculiarity of the color that it has also become a sign of this spell. This spell is dissociation!
"Kordak!" the sharp-eyed Vera was the first to notice the emerald glow, screaming as she slammed her bow and arrows in an attempt to interfere with the mage's spell casting.
But even with the enchanted longbow in his hand, the distance between the two of them was far beyond his range. Vera's arrows only pierced the neck of one Stoke soldier on the way, but they were still far from injuring the mage.
"Captain!" the mage who accompanied the team, Ruiz, also hurriedly reminded him.
In contrast, his companion Mike was a lot smarter. He didn't shout any more meaninglessly, but calmly recited the incantation. Due to the low spell level, Mike's protective energy damage reached Kordak's body one step ahead of his opponent.
"Go away!" Cordak kicked away Rondo, who was about to pounce on him as a meat shield. Then the turquoise glow of the dissociation technique shot directly into his abdomen.
Mike's magical shield lit up with a pale blue glow, and it and the magical energy of dissociation constantly canceled each other out. But after all, the protective energy damage was only a third-level spell, how could the magic power it contained be compared to the sixth-level spell dissociation technique?
So half a second later, the turquoise light broke through the shield's defenses and shot towards Kordak's Dou Qi armor.
In an instant, Kordaq raised his fighting spirit to the peak, but it still couldn't stop the light of the dissociation technique. The spell broke through Kordak's Fighting Qi armor in a split second, leaving a smooth wound in his abdomen.
Fortunately, after destroying the double defense, there was not much energy left in the dissociation technique. So it only wore out less than a centimeter of Kordak's abs, but it didn't hurt Kordak's internal organs.
Seeing this scene, Vera couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, when the dissociation technique was released, she was almost in despair. And now Kordaq is only injured, which is a blessing in misfortune.
But just as the dissociation glow dissipated, another fireball flew over, and Kordaq was mortally wounded and could only lift his lava blade to protect his chest and head.
It was Stoker's second blow, and to be on the safe side, he fired a fireball after the dissociation technique. At this time, his face was pale from the excessive consumption of mana, but the mage had a hideous expression on his face. With this level of attack, I don't believe you can survive!
Rumble!
The fireball exploded, and Kordak flew upside down along with the other Stoke soldiers due to the violent blast.
"Chief!!" Rondo sat on the ground because of Kordak's kick. At this point he crawled to his feet, and then rushed to Kordak again with red eyes.
"Brothers, save the captain, follow me!" Kuroko raised his two-handed sword and launched a counter-charge against the Stokers.
"Fuck the horse archers!" Alberon threw his longbow to the ground in frustration, then snatched a knight's spear from one of the knights beside him and rushed over.
Vera held back the grief in her heart, she didn't rush to save Kordak like the others. Because melee combat is not her strong point, and riding combat is even weaker and pitiful, and rushing up now will only add to the chaos.
Vera struggled to control her arms, and then she calmly opened her bow and arrows, and two waves of arrows rained down on eight Stoke people who tried to get close to Kordaq and eight arrows directly harvested the lives of the eight Stokers who tried to get close to Kordak.
Because of the relationship between the cherished people, Vera also stimulated her potential, and at this time, not only was her archery accuracy incredible, but she even broke through the shackles of the twelfth level and reached the thirteenth level in one fell swoop.
Rondo was the first to reach Kordak's side, and thanks to Vera's long-range support, Kordak was not injured by the other soldiers after being stunned by the fireball. He took a cursory look and saw that Kordak had only been burned except for the severe wound in his abdomen.
"Looks like there is still help!" Rondo didn't hesitate as he swung his greatsword and swept back the Stoke soldiers.
But soon the Stoke soldiers came in again, and Rondo was in a hurry and threw his weapon out of his hands. This blow directly cut off four or five Stoke soldiers at the waist.
Rondo picked up Kordaq with the time he had gained by abandoning his weapon, and then ran towards his camp without looking back.
At this time, Kuroko and Alberon also led their soldiers to kill. The soldiers of the independent brigade all had red eyes, and pounced on the Stoke soldiers like hungry wolves seeing fresh meat.
Stoker's soldiers, on the other hand, were visibly fearful. Their eyes were filled with fear, and they frantically defended against the enemy's attack.
In the eyes of the soldiers of the Hawk Empire, Kordak, as the captain, was able to resist the spells of the mage squad at the cost of his own body. All they did was to reduce the casualties of their subordinates, and this would undoubtedly win the touching and respect of all the fighters. And now seeing that Cordak was seriously injured and unconscious, their life and death were unknown, and they naturally went crazy one by one.
On the other hand, the commander of the Stoke Empire disregarded the lives and deaths of his subordinates in order to snipe Kordak, which undoubtedly chilled the hearts of all Stoke soldiers.
One is desperate for the soldiers, and the other is for the sake of military exploits, regardless of the life and death of his subordinates. The contrast in the practices of the two commanders also led to a huge gap in morale between the fighters.
Under the ferocious onslaught of the Hawke's Imperial soldiers, the Southerners were quickly killed and fled.
......
"Huh?" Manhattan couldn't help but ask, "Where is this sound coming from?"
"General, judging by the direction, it may be the voice of the second outpost in the west of Haichao City. The adjutant bowed his head and replied.
"Kordak's Independent Brigade?" Manhattan thought for a moment, then asked, "How's the battle going?"
"The situation is not optimistic. The adjutant looked at the battle report in his hand and said: "Outposts 134 in the west have all encountered stubborn resistance from the Stokers and seem to be unable to break through in a short time, while there is no news from Outpost 2 yet. ”
"I miscalculated. Manhattan furrowed his silver-white eyebrows: "I didn't expect the Stoke people's determination to defend the city to be so strong...... If there is no progress......"
While Manhattan was still thinking about it, a herald ran in: "Report!
"Okay, you go down. The adjutant took the report and looked at it, but he didn't read it out because Manhattan was thinking.
"How's it going?" Manhattan asked after a moment.
"Kordaq has received a report that they have routed the Stoke defenders and are expected to take Outpost 2 West within two hours. The adjutant replied.
"Very good!" Manhattan perked up, he thought for more than ten seconds, and then said: "Let the several brigades responsible for attacking the number one three and four posts hold back the enemy with all their might, and tell them that I don't want to see any enemy reinforcements on the second post!"
"Yes!" the adjutant replied, then he hesitated for a moment, and then said, "General, there is one more thing in the battle report. ”
"Speak!" Manhattan seemed to be in a good mood at this time.
Although the Kordak Independence Brigade had routed the enemy defenders head-on, he himself was seriously wounded and unconscious. The adjutant continued.
"This kid! I knew something was going to happen to him sooner or later!" Manhattan jumped to his feet.
In terms of the rank of the army, a petty officer like Kordak would not have been able to enter Manhattan's sight. However, due to the name of the strongest Reaper team in the empire, coupled with the special identity of the eldest brother of the head of military intelligence Regna, these two reasons made Manhattan also pay some attention to Kordak.
Manhattan waved his hand: "Let Ranmill pass, with her in this kid he can't die!"
"Yes!" the adjutant commanded to leave.
