Chapter 185: Light Swallowed by Darkness
It was dawn, but Atru did not let it go, he knew that when the light was weak, it was the most dangerous time.
Most of the soldiers who are still gathered around him are exhausted, even if they are elite, they are just ordinary people, and they are chased and blown up by their butts all night, and they will be tired and half dead. The soldiers were still holding weapons and were not defeated, and they were already worthy of the word elite.
However, it does not mean that it will be over at dawn.
When the soldiers think it's safe, the enemy will also take advantage of the negligence that they think is "safe" and attack them unreasonably.
After all, the other side has not sent a single soldier at all, in addition to avoiding accidental damage from the shelling, there must also be an expectation of taking advantage of the rebels' slack and falling into the well.
Unfortunately, only Atru had this idea, and when the sun rose, a considerable number of soldiers were already sitting on the ground, and some of them even threw away their weapons and fell asleep.
"What are you doing! Get up for me! this is the enemy's territory!" Atru shouted at once, and reminded a soldier who was close to him, "The enemy will not give up the attack just because it is dawn!, all stand up and take up your weapons!"
"Lord Atru, the soldiers are tired, we should find a place to rest and return to General Orton—" said a captain-level soldier, "we have been separated from the main force. ”
Atru didn't know how many soldiers had died as a result of last night's shelling, anyway, with that level of power, it was normal for the casualty rate to be more than half, let alone a soldier who would have deserted directly.
He gathered up a hundred or so soldiers overnight, and he didn't know where he was—and more importantly, General Orton's location.
It is very dangerous to break away from the large army, and it is very dangerous to rely on this alone.
"Either way, cheer me up first!Are you also the elite of General Orton!" Atru tried to boost his morale, but after only a word or two, he stopped and turned to look back.
There is no need to boost morale now, because ...... The enemy is coming.
There was a commotion among the soldiers, and at least some of them remembered to put their weapons on, though most likely to no avail.
Because it was a cultivator, and it was a cultivator that many people were very familiar with—the watchdog of the royal city, Ferdy Monmonruchi.
Ferdy is a well-known figure, not only because he is a level 6, but also because he was born as a slum orc, climbing all the way from the filthy garbage heap to the position of the chief of the guard of the royal city, and is the object of worship and hatred of many.
And the soldiers of Orton are familiar with this watchdog because of their boss, Atru, one of the Four Heavenly Kings.
As we all know, the two of them did not deal with each other, and the squad leader had silently retreated, leaving Atru at a distance.
The battle between cultivators and cultivators is not something that ordinary people can intervene in, as a soldier, the opponent can only be a soldier. To deal with cultivators, you can only do it when you have an overwhelming advantage in numbers or equipment.
One by one, the royal guards led by Ferdy came out of the woods, and they also went straight to the rebel soldiers, ignoring Atru.
Although the two sides are different camps, they have an unusually tacit understanding at the moment.
"That's amazing, you. "Atru has drawn his sword, this battle is inevitable, and one must die.
Ferdy, who was dressed in heavy armor and a two-handed sword shield, did not answer immediately, but first put the two-handed giant sword on his shoulder on the ground, "You are the same. ”
Atru was actually mocking Ferdy, after all, he didn't sleep all night and was running around, and his physical strength and magic were not in full state, while Ferdy was directly approached to decide the winner after recuperating his energy.
In the eyes of the arrogant Atru, this is even a bit despicable.
"Too many pleasantries will be avoided!"
"I agree. ”
In the next second, the two heavy swords fought together.
Both cultivators were wearing heavy armor, and their weapons were two-handed giant swords that were difficult for ordinary people to use, but Ferdy also took an extra large shield. The strong physique of the orcs was vividly demonstrated by the assassins, and the two weapons that required both hands to wield were held by him in one hand, and there was no burden.
In comparison, Atru is slightly less powerful, but in terms of speed and agility, he is much better.
If Ferdy didn't have a shield, I'm afraid that within two or three moves, Atru would be able to find Ferdy's flaws and kill him.
It's a pity that Ferdy's defense is not leaky, and Atru has no chance to succeed in one blow, so he can only keep detouring and wandering.
The reason why this is the case is because the weapons of both of them are heavy weapons that can cut people in the waist, and if there is no defense or dodge in one move, they will only end up in defeat and death.
The surrounding soldiers slowly dispersed, giving them a large enough space, and the battle of cultivators was not only a competition of strength, but also a fierce battle of magic power. Just like the battle between Tsukizakura and Fiai at the time, two completely different magical forces strangled each other in this small open space, creating a whirlpool that could kill them.
It's just that the whirlpool at that time was the wind, and now, it is light and dark.
Atru's attribute is light, and each of his moves carries a single white light, which increases his power when attacking, while protecting himself and healing damage.
Ferdy's attribute is the opposite of darkness, unlike Atru, who has improved his ability in all directions, Ferdy's magical nature is very ordinary, nothing special, just plain darkness.
But because of its simplicity, it is more difficult.
Ferdy is simply a castle that cannot be attacked, no matter how Atru attacks, he can't shake him a single bit, and Ferdy can't really threaten the more flexible Atru because he focuses on defense, and the two fall into a stalemate for a while.
In the past, these two macho men never decided the winner because they couldn't help each other.
The guards of Wangcheng had also seen a similar scene, and just when they thought that these two fierce men were going to fight until they were old, a sudden change occurred.
Ferdy unloaded his shield.
The heavy shield smashed a large hole directly into the ground, and the loud noise made the hearts of the soldiers on both sides beat violently.
"You ——!" Atru was a little surprised, but he quickly became angry, and his greatsword slashed down at Ferdy's head.
The blade infused with the power of light made it impossible to open its eyes, but Ferdy didn't need to look at it, he also clenched the hilt of his sword with both hands.
"This level of light is too weak. Ferdy turned to his side, and the sword of light grazed his back, slashing hard at the ground, but the dodge was not all for nothing, and the magic of the blade burst through Ferdy's armor, destroying the skin and muscles within.
The pain did not affect Ferdy's movements, and the greatsword named Margaret, impregnated with dark magic, slashed the blow.
"I've seen light countless times more intense than you!"
Yes, that short, but stronger girl than anyone else.
With just one blow, he directly killed his own girl in seconds.
It was the first time, and Ferdy fought with a deep sense of frustration, and with little hope of victory, the girl who was only up to his waist was as tall as a mountain, and as for himself, he was a fool trying to climb it.
Ferdy was grateful to the necromancer named Sarieri, if it weren't for him, he wouldn't have come to Silscal and wouldn't have met Yizhi.
The day of Silskar was also the day when Ferdy laid down his shield and used Margaret wholeheartedly.
Sure enough, the two-handed giant sword still has to be used with both hands.
Just this simple realization made Ferdy's strength take a big step forward.
The darkness broke through the blinding light.
"Not a single one!" Ferdy roared as he picked up Atru's dead head.
When she received the news of Atru's death, Suyuki didn't feel much excitement, which seemed to her to be a normal ending.
How strong can a cultivator in this small country be? After learning that Atru was kicked and fainted by Yueying, Shen Xue knew that the so-called Four Heavenly Kings were nothing more than an exaggeration.
Ferdy's strength is not blown, in Shenxue's opinion, he will be on par with Atru, but he focuses too much on defense, and the offensive end is insufficient, although he will not lose, but he can't win.
Ferdy will be like this, Shenxue probably knows the reason, it is nothing more than paying too much attention to his identity as the head of the guard, the most important thing for the guards is to be able to protect the object they need to protect, Ferdy is holding a shield that is higher than ordinary humans, in fact, it is just to be able to protect the blue moon at a critical moment.
And before Ferdy set off, Deep Snow specifically told him that Blue Moon was not here now, that he had no one to protect, and that his mission was only to kill Atru - if Ferdy didn't wake up yet, then that's all.
Presumably, after this battle, Ferdy will be able to go to the next level.
Maybe there's a chance to become level 7?
In any case, the more powerful pieces the better.
It's just that the deep snow doesn't know...... Where is the chess piece that I cherish the most?
