Short Chapter 28.2: The Sky Collapses (1)
·
"Every year, I feel that the summer rain in Wuxiang Bay is simply the collapse of the sky and the sea, which is really scary......"
In the dark shadows, the three elven assassins wore hoods on their heads, clutched their clasped clasps, and leaned against the innermost side of the eaves, slightly cold. The boots were already filled with mud, which made the feet feel very uncomfortable. No matter how many years you have lived in this town, you will not be able to get used to this local characteristic, which is not called weather, but natural disasters.
It should be almost dawn by the time, but the sky is not going to light up at all. The rain was like a dense curtain, and within thirty meters there was nothing but the rain and all kinds of dead things twisting and shaking in the wind. The Adventurer's Guild can't see anything, it's blind with the excellent eyesight unique to the elves, and its ears are useless.
One of the elves sat on a sandbag left behind by the blockade. Originally intended to ward off arrows, it can now slightly block the torrent of stone bricks pouring down the street to wash his shoes.
"There was no movement at all. Did the puppies get their hands on it?"
"Probably failed again. It's raining so hard, let's get out, I'm already soaking wet. ”
"According to the plan, once that president is killed, we must immediately break in and bloodied the guild. How do you explain to the viscount?"
"I haven't had a password until now, so I must have failed. ”
The three elves were silent.
Since midnight, they have been here as a second echelon, ready to attack in waves at any time, and as long as the werewolves can take out one of Raymond or the guildmaster, no one in the entire guild will live to see tomorrow...... Ah no, the sun today. Not only the three of them, but also two groups of six people not far away, were all on standby.
Wait for the werewolves to get their hands on the code.
With a deep sigh, the elven assassin stood up, took off his hood and pulled back his hand-made comb before putting it back on, "I suspect that the rain was too heavy and I missed the code. I'll take a look. With that, he tightened his neckline with both hands and walked slowly in the direction of the guild - although he could see nothing but the dark and rainy night.
A companion reached out to stop: "Don't run around, it's dangerous." ”
"Don't be funny. Another companion sneered, "If you had just been assassinated, would you have the strength to run out with your men to your death?
Come to think of it, that's right.
So one of them squatted down with his hands together, and the other shook the water from his cloak vigorously, and then closed his eyes against the wall. The former began to miss the hot black tea and the dry, soft bed, and the latter was a little worried about whether his weight would be blown away by the strong wind...... At least, blow down.
Despite the loud rain and rolling thunder, the elves' long ears were not an ornament.
There was a strange movement of "poof", almost muffled by the rain. Almost.
“...... Huh?"
The crouching elven assassin stopped rubbing his hands, straightened his neck, and looked in the direction of his companion who had just spoken.
Nothing. Elves are good at farsightedness, but not night vision, and they don't see anything within thirty meters.
"Hey...... Did you hear that?"
"What?
"No, it's a strange "poof" sound. Sounds a bit like the sound of a knife cutting into the flesh......"
The elf who was standing against the wall with his eyes closed immediately pulled out a pair of daggers, his feet shoulder-width apart and his knees slightly bent, staring ahead vigilantly: "Are you sure?"
The squatting elf slowly stood up, took out the bow from behind his back, wound the arrow, and bent on the waist.
“...... No, not sure. Not daggers, not arrows, not swords and sticks, not the sound of magic missiles breaking through flesh, I had never heard them before. ”
“......”
Years of killing instincts made it seem as if something wasn't quite right, but reason told them that no one would be crazy enough to fight back on a dark street on a rainy night like this. Maybe the companion who left just now is dead, but how is it possible? Under this kind of rain and wind, the power of the bow and arrow will weaken and deviate, and it is difficult to even aim at a long distance, if the enemy is a melee class, how powerful is it to make the companion not even have time to shout for help in seconds?
“...... I'll take a look, and you go inform the others. ”
"Don't be suspicious, I'll go through the ...... when you're sure."
A trident flew over on a rainy night,
"Poof"
A thud thrust into the chest of the bow-wielding elf—he subconsciously dodged, raised his bow to block it, but in vain in the face of +3 magic weapons—his whole body shook, his hood fell backwards, and his body leaned forward slowly, slowly. If you exert all your strength, you will not fly backwards exaggeratedly when you hit the target, but will die on the spot and fall forward.
The double-bladed elf was stunned,
When he noticed that the magic trident was suddenly flying back and dragging his companion with him, he immediately reached out and pulled it, but only tore his companion's cloak.
"Enemy ......" he watched his companion and the trident fly away and disappear into the rain, and then he came back to his senses and jumped backwards, shouting hoarsely, "Enemy attack!
Before the words fell, the sandbag at his feet just now was thrust into a trident that was exactly the same as just now. The sandbags burst in an instant.
"Enemy attack! Enemy attack——! enemy attack!"
The agile high-level Elven Assassin slipped in a panic, falling into the mud before continuing to run at full speed towards his companions. In the blink of an eye, all the elven assassins on standby had all run out of the house and under the eaves, screaming in panic.
The trident bounced off the stone pavement, and the end of the handle flew back to the rain curtain.
Fly back into the hands of a tall and burly boy with a fierce look.
"Missed?" Rachel confirmed that there was only mud and no blood at the tip of the trident this time, and pointed behind her, "It's all you!
The corners of Maxusley's mouth twitched, "I can't see the target." ”
"Didn't I show you the coordinates?"
"I threw the second person to death, and you told me that the third person was right next to me, and the fool had to be scared away! If you had said earlier, I would have thrown it later or skewered it to death at a different angle!"
This is Rachel's mistake?—— it is clear that she can accurately judge the enemy's position from a distance of 100 meters, isn't she the first to do it? Fortunately, the shouts of the enemy can be heard from a distance of 100 meters, and there are more and more of them.
As a forward team, you can't get the results of only two surprise attacks.
Rachel gathered the ring in front of her eyes again, and through the faint arcane aura, only she could see the entire clear world as if it were day, and everything was clearly visible—seven high-level elven assassins scattered against the wall, and more than twenty market guards seemed to have just woken up, and ran into the rain in a panic while pressing their helmets and belts, as if they were not sure of the exact location of the attackers.
Rachel affectionately pressed Karma's shoulders from behind: "It's better to be a baby." Baby, over there!"
"Ahh ”
Kama froze, clenched the scepter, and swung it out with a loud bang, and suddenly a huge horizontal lightning bolt swung out from the end of the staff. With a loud thunderclap that upsets your guts, the night light tears through the black rain, carving a charred dead tree into your retina - six skeletons hang from the ends of the branches.
tinnitus
blindness,
Kama actually used the scepter's once-a-week "Lightning Thunder" at the beginning of the game!
Even though the lightning and sonic damage are fired forward in a cone shape, they still shake you up behind you. Rachel wanted to complain, but she just covered her ears and squatted on the ground dizzy, who made her so good that she had to cling to Karma to show her sisterhood.
As expected. You cover your ears and sigh deeply. Just half a minute after the Golden Crown's spectacular debut, they were collectively shocked into idiots by themselves - including Kama herself, and the scepter-wielding gesture was handsome.
"Captain, what now!" Michael, his ears ringing, shouted at Maxusley.
"Needless to say, move on!" was Rachel's accosting. Rachel's eyes couldn't focus, and she was helped to her feet by Billy, staggering and pointing at the rainy night, and gave a decisive order. Not to mention, there are really heroes who lead the army to the aura of victory.
thereupon
You watch as the five leading men collectively staggered and continued to "forward" to the left, out of the prescribed route. After killing two high-level assassins in half a minute, and being deaf and blind in another half minute, the war only began for a minute and a half, and the strongest team of adventurers ran away and disappeared into the night.
You hold your forehead, use your heart to inform Tong En, and quickly call those five fools back.
No matter how much she tried to persuade her, Rachel just replied, "What?" as if her hearing hadn't been restored......
Continue to support the forehead.
Although I didn't expect each other to revolt in a sneak attack all the way, it was really unexpected that I would dare to declare war with explosive mines, for fear that others would not know that you were coming?
The devil knows where the Golden Crown turned left and ran.
Without them,
Shine!
- Kill!
You lowered your posture and rushed forward with the instructor in the front row, and a total of about 200 rebels followed closely with a shout that shook the sky! I don't know if it was because of the farce just now, you should have been charging into battle with great enthusiasm, but you suddenly felt that no one on both sides could see the enemy, and the other was blind.
A distance of 100 meters, a sight distance of 30 meters. All you know is the small amount of information Rachel gave with the ring at the beginning, about how many enemies there were, and in what direction. The cloak can't completely block the rain, and the half-wet robes wrap around your body, and the water-filled boots make it all impossible.
The eyes were hit by the rain and it was hard to open them.
You rush to the front to boost morale, and of course, everyone knows that if you rush fast, you will die quickly. In front of you is a sturdy female back, a tower shield large enough to cover the four of you, and then, rain and darkness.
Every step you take, you take a huge risk because you can't see anything clearly.
"This is ......" Elizabeth suddenly reached out around your shoulder, patted the helmet of the instructor in the front row, and shouted, "Be careful!
With a sigh, the instructor in the front row immediately stopped, knelt on one knee and resisted the tower shield with half of his body. You cower behind her, watching as the rebels wield their swords and shout ahead of you.
Due to the large number of rebel soldiers, the various combat forces of the guild are scattered in small teams and evenly interspersed in the attacking team. Except for the Elk Stalker, who also stops in the distance directly behind, you won't see any familiar faces anymore.
At the same time as the terrifying sound of breaking the air sounded,
The rebel who had just passed by you, with an arm-thick siege bolt stuck in his head, flew back close to you. The bolts pierced through three or four people and disappeared into the darkness, causing screams that ended with the sound of hitting the earthen walls of houses.
Another shot,
Another siege bolt!
Although the blockade was lifted, the deer village, sandbags, and ballista cars had not yet been withdrawn, and the market guards hurriedly ran behind the ballista and fired blindly at the dark and rainy night.
Anyway, you can shoot no matter what.
The crossbow bolt hit the edge of the tower shield, slowed down slightly and deflected but did not stop, and continued to penetrate the three rebels, and even the men with crossbows flew backwards exaggeratedly.
"Spread out, go in a roundabout way, shoot blindly, keep your posture down!" shouted the instructor in the front row, shouting hoarsely, as he covered your way forward. I can't see where the slender figure came from so much strength to withstand the impact of the siege crossbow at close range.
On both sides of the distance, the sound of fighting came and went.
If you don't disperse, you'll suffer heavy casualties from the blind fire of siege crossbows, and if you do, you'll fall right into the hands of the elven assassins. There are few fights and many wails, and the rebels are being suppressed and slaughtered by high-ranking assassins.
Pemba, Elizabeth patted the front row instructor's helmet three times. By this time you have raised your shields and moved under the eaves.
One
Two
Three seconds later, you all looked up, and the spear of the instructor in the front row stabbed upwards without hesitation.
Lightning flashed, and the stunned elven assassin hung upside down on the eaves and was about to turn over, but he turned his body directly, and the two daggers staggered horizontally, cutting off the oncoming steel spear.
The elven assassin took advantage of the situation to block your swinging sword, but lost his balance in mid-air due to the reaction force, and the magic missile of Annette's five-round wand was hit in the shoulder and chest at very close range, and the skin and flesh suddenly opened.
Elizabeth leapt to her feet and slashed her dagger at the elven assassin's throat. A magical spectacle in which the latter ducked in mid-air with his head tilted in an almost impossible pose. The hilt of the spear, which had no point, thrust again, and with a muffled thud, it plunged shallowly into the elf's lungs - and was twisted again to avoid a direct blow.
In mid-air, Elizabeth blinded the other party with a backhand, but she actually wanted to open her head.
Avoiding deadly attacks again and again, the elven assassin covered his eyes in embarrassment, somersaulted, landed, and fell to the ground. Only then did he realize that his left foot was gone, and he didn't know when you cut it off.
One foot was missing, and he couldn't get up in half a second, so he was directly thrown to death by the instructor in the front row with a broken spear shaft, and the whole person maintained a half-kneeling and half-squatting posture and leaned back slightly, standing upright.
"And three!"
Before the words fell, a crossbow shot hit the middle part of the tower shield impartially and shot directly through, half of it was exposed, and half of it was deeply inserted into the flank of the instructor in the front row. Count her lucky, because she threw the hilt of the spear, she didn't stick to the inside of the shield as she did just now, otherwise she would have been hurt even more.
At the same time as the instructor in the front row was muffled, three gray werewolves flew towards him almost at the same time!
The rain, as a huge figure passes over you, even stops for a moment before it falls again.
The first werewolf opened its bloody mouth and bit Elizabeth, who bent down in the air to dodge, and then continued to twist his posture and avoid the homeopathic claw attack; the second werewolf slammed into the tower shield with all his might, not caring at all about the spiked crossbow arrows, but completely knocked the crossbow bolt stuck in the front row of instructors' flanks into the air, and the shield did not fall, and the person lost his balance; the third werewolf jumped over the tower shield and pounced on you!
Probably the market guard turned into a werewolf, probably jumping higher to bypass the shield, and this werewolf against you has been in the air for a bit long.
Long enough for Annette to unleash a magic missile with her wand, smash your staff into its head to disrupt its balance, and then use the ground as a support point to stop the werewolf from falling, and you take the opportunity to plunge your sword into the mouth of the toothy blood. It's very upright, it's very accurate, the tip of the sword is through! The mouth is so wide that it's hard not to stab it.
You've practiced melee thrusts, and you have actual combat experience.
Thump!
You're crushed underneath the heavy and massive body of a slaying werewolf!Huh, it's the first time you've fought a large enemy, and that's okay?
It was really unexpected to be crushed by the corpse and unable to move. Why are werewolves so heavy? If you don't just hold down below your waist, you're afraid you'll drown in the ankle-deep mud on the ground.
Luckily, Annette's staff was also pressed underneath, and it didn't take long to lift the body up with the lever principle. But time itself is the biggest problem – you're in a tough battle.
Although it seems that the two werewolves are not of a high level, Elizabeth's quenched dagger is only suitable for tickling each other, and the long sword of the instructor in the front row cannot complete the substantial damage. Normal weapons have no effect.
The plan is to start a war during the day, and the werewolves on both sides cannot be transformed, which is beneficial to our side, but the plan cannot catch up with the change. It was long overdue for dawn, but because of the repeated postponement of this rainstorm, it was almost far away.
The werewolf's swift and fierce successive attacks were nimly dodged by Elizabeth, who repeatedly missed the air, and when she was angry, she backhanded one of the rebels to the ground, grabbed the head of another rebel and threw the whole person towards Elizabeth. Where had she seen a living cannonball at very close range, and she couldn't dodge it, and was hung to the ground by the rebels.
Poison doesn't work at all, ordinary daggers can't hurt werewolves, and in the end, Elizabeth is an expert in assassination, not monsters. She's agile, and so are werewolves.
On the other side, the tower shield is almost impossible to hold. There are all kinds of warriors, and the instructors in the front row are typical high-intelligence and skill, with ordinary strength, ordinary physique, and ordinary endurance, how can they be able to withstand the huge impact of two siege crossbow arrows and then be slapped five times in two seconds with a claw?
Her shield was beaten so much that she almost took it out of her hand and snatched it back, and then she slapped the shield with her sword together, and she snatched the shield back sideways again, and then the whole person was knocked to the ground, but she continued to raise the shield in a half-lying position, very reluctantly. You can't let go of your shield no matter what—the siege crossbow shot just now was so accurate that it didn't look like a blind shot. Maybe the Market Guardian has found a solution to the vision problem, and if you run out of shields, you'll be killed in seconds.
