Chapter 64: Flashbangs

The battle to regain the walls is much easier than the battle to recapture the gates. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 ļ½‰ļ½Žļ½†ļ½

The rebel crossbowmen who remained on the city walls were unable to go down to grab things, and their enthusiasm for fighting was very low. Originally, they were all private soldiers of the big clans, or renegade castle defenders, and their morale was not high. Coupled with the fact that they had no infantry protection and limited melee ability, Maier just let the magic arrows shoot in order, let the maids shoot, and then let the guards of the Xiaohu family charge, and crushed all the rebel crossbowmen.

Half of the rebel crossbowmen surrendered, and instead of allowing them to turn against the rebels, Maier collected all his weapons, untied their belts, and had the Xiaohu guards tie their hands behind their backs with their belts. Mel left ten men to guard the captives and returned to the city gate with the rest of the men.

By the time Maier regained the walls, Yishan and Euris's forces had converged and routed several rebel groups. The rebels in the castle did not know that the city gate had been lost, so all the routs flocked to the city gate. The guards who stayed at the city gate did not confront the rout, but shouted "surrender or kill" according to Meier's instructions, further breaking the will of the rout.

When Mel returned to the gate, there were already more than a dozen rows of prisoners crouching near the gate, and there were about twenty or thirty men in each row. Due to the large number of prisoners, the guards guarding the city gates were already feeling a little overwhelmed. Fortunately, by this time Maier had already returned, and he left most of the guards at the city gate, and only took ten Xiaohu family guards to kill the castle.

By this time, Nami Castle was already full of rebels. Among them, four were larger, with more than five hundred people, and the rest were small units of twenty or thirty people, or even three or five people. Yishan and Euris had limited forces and could not take care of all the places, and most of the castles had been lost.

The main entrance to the annex has also been lost. Yishan and Euris remained in the meeting room, and when they learned the news of the loss of the main entrance, they immediately led the escort out of the meeting room and headed for the back door of the annex. But just as they left the parlor, the back door of the annex was lost.

The rebels stormed the annex and looted it, and the men in the annex took up arms to resist, barely holding some rooms and protecting some women. But there were even more places to lose, and the annex was filled with the screams of women and the disgusting laughter of the rebels.

Since the way out was blocked and the outside of the annex was not safe, Yishan and Euris gave up the breakout and returned to the meeting room. The guards blocked the door to the parlor with tables and chairs, and waited in front of the gate.

The two of them are very confident in their guards, so they are not worried about their safety at all, and even have the leisure to quarrel.

"Hey, let me tell you, if the rebels start banging on the door in a moment, won't you cry?"

"You should be the one who was scared and cried, right, you didn't even have a weapon, it seems that you don't have any combat effectiveness at all. It's not that I'm boasting, as long as I'm serious, even if there are twenty of those rabbles outside, they won't be opponents. ā€

"Who said I didn't have a weapon?"

Uris pulled a sharp dagger from under her skirt and shook it in front of Yishan's eyes, then inserted it back into the leather scabbard strapped to her thigh.

"You really like violence, musclewoman."

"Who do you say is a muscular girl! Shorty! ā€

Yishan angrily lifted her sleeves, revealing her white arms.

"People don't have that many muscles!"

"Then you're a brute force."

Ulis did not refute Yishan's words, but directly counterattacked.

"Women should be weak in front of men, if you always behave stronger than men, the man you like is destined to be snatched away by a petite and lovely woman like me."

"W-"

When arguing with Uris, Yishan is often at a disadvantage, because she is not good at bickering in the first place. Fortunately, the rebels reached the parlor, found a few chairs, and began to pound on the door. Yishan closed her mouth and stopped talking to Euris.

At the same time, Mel's room was attacked. The rebels slammed their bodies against the door, shouting and threatening those inside.

"Open the door!"

"If you don't open the door, you'll kill all the people inside!"

The three maids nervously clenched their weapons and exchanged glances with each other.

"There were at least ten of them."

Kiki calmed down and said to Bird and Leaf.

"The door won't last long, we'll have to find something to block it."

"Use ...... Let's use the bed! ā€

Xiao Ye dropped the knife and turned around to lift the solid wood bed in the guest room. There was also a futon on the bed, at least a hundred kilograms, but Xiao Ye's face was not red and he was not panting, so he carried the bed to the door and pressed the door with the bed.

Although the other two maids had long known that Xiao Ye had a lot of strength, they had a desire to complain every time they saw a similar scene. But now is not the time to complain, Kiki and Xiaobird hurriedly follow Xiaoye's example and drop their weapons, and bring tables, chairs and other things to block the door.

The rebels soon noticed that something was blocking the door, and immediately found a table and slammed it against it. The three maids were nervous, and they soon noticed that the rebels were slamming on the door with their tools, and their hearts immediately rose to their throats.

Meanwhile, Myer, who had just rescued several tattered maids from the rebels, finally realized his mistake. He shouldn't have left the three maids in the guest room, but should have taken them to the living room and let them stay with Yishan and Euris, so that the three maids would be safer.

Damn it! Why am I so stupid!

Maier would love to slap himself a few times, but he knew that now was not the time to do such a thing. He immediately rushed to the annex with his guards, trying to get the three maids out before the rebels attacked his room.

But as far as the facts are concerned, his wish has been frustrated.

By the time Maier led the men into the annex, the rebels who had slammed the door had lost patience. They can't fight here, so they attack other rooms. However, there are no guests in Nami Castle now, and most of the rooms are empty. The rebels went around in a big circle and couldn't find anything to rob, so they had to come back and continue banging on the door.

After banging on the door for a while, the rebels finally realized that the door could not be slammed open. So they changed their tactics and sent two men to find a sledgehammer or an axe to split the door.

The voices of the rebels reached the house, and the three maids panicked when they heard that they were going to split the door.

"We've got to find a way to get rid of the people out there."

The first person to calm down was Xiaoye. Xiao Bird didn't feel strange about this, because she knew her friend too well, and the more critical the time, the more reliable Xiao Ye became. Qiqi was impressed by Xiao Ye, and at the same time she felt very ashamed. As a senior, I don't have a junior who is reliable, which is really unreasonable.

So Kiki also forced herself to calm down and seriously think about countermeasures.

Sticking to the door might be a good option. Xiaoye has the most strength and can face the enemy head-on. The bird is very clever and can help on the sidelines. Kiki also had to be supported nearby with a light crossbow and shoot the rebels behind.

Just as Kiki was about to say what she thought, the bird spoke first.

"It's not a way to just kill the people outside, we don't know how many enemies there are, what should we do if we kill one batch and another batch?"

Kiki's words silence Kiki, who knows that she is right, so she can only rethink her countermeasures.

In a critical moment, Kiki's first thought is Maier. She very much hoped that Mel would come back to save them, but she couldn't put her hopes entirely on Myer, because Maier never said how long it would take him to return.

If the master is here, a single round of magic arrows will kill them all...... Wait a minute! Magic!?

Qiqi directly grabbed Xiao Ye's hand and asked her with a serious face.

"Xiao Ye, what kind of magic will you use?"

"Hmm...... I'm sorry, Miss Kiki, but I'm only ...... magic flares."

Xiao Ye's answer disappointed Kiki, because in her opinion, magic flares could not be used as weapons.

If Maier had been here, he would have patiently explained to Kiki that the magic flare could not only be used as a weapon, but the effect was not ordinarily good!

Light is an important interfering weapon for the Rytin Wizard. Bright lights can temporarily blind people, and sudden flashes of light can distract enemies, and the Rytin Mage will often use this secondary attack to distract his enemies in combat, especially in duels between the Wettin Mages.

The Ryding magicians also came up with a strategy to prevent this. In the duels of the Letting magicians, especially in closed or semi-enclosed spaces, or at night, the two sides of the battle often wear special sunglasses, which are very stylish. But they wear sunglasses not to be cool, but to protect against the enemy's optical attacks.

Maier once told Xiao Ye about this, but Xiao Ye didn't remember it.

Luckily, one of the three maids is a bird with an unusually nimble mind. The experience of traveling overnight at Rimi Shrine made her realize that the intensity of the light of the magic flare could be changed according to the will of the Ryding magician. At that time, the bird sat in the car, looking at the magic flares that illuminated the earth, and recalled the memories of his childhood.

At that time, she often looked up at the sky during the day. There is not only one sun in the New World, but the positions in which they appear and disappear are fixed, so the climate in the New World regions of the world also becomes fixed. The bird likes to look at the sun closest to it because it shines brightest. Looking directly into the sun would cause a burning sensation in her eyes, and after that, a large dark spot would appear in her vision, which would take a long time to slowly disappear.

If I made the magic flare brighter than the sun, would I be blinded?

At that time, the bird was just a casual thought, but now it comes in handy.

"Perhaps...... Maybe we can try that. ā€

As soon as the bird told her what she thought, Ye immediately remembered what Mel had taught her. She immediately said that this method was feasible and could be operated at her current level.

Since the magic element is "non-existent" in reality, and there is no collision volume, Xiao Ye can completely hit the magic flare through the wall. So she immediately began to construct a magic flare in front of the door, adjusting the luminous intensity to the maximum, injecting most of the restraining power in her body into it, leaving only the amount to fire.

Xiao Ye was not very proficient in the use of Leiting's magic, and it took nearly a minute to build a magic flare. A minute later, Xiao Ye shot a magic light to the other side of the wall, and as soon as the glowing structure activated, the screams of the rebel soldiers could be heard outside the door.

"My eyes! I can't see with my eyes!! ā€

"Mom! Mommy save me! Mom, I'm blind! Help me! Help me! ā€

"Eyes! My eyes hurt so much! Out of sight! I can't see! ā€

"Youkai! Youkai ahh ā€

"Don't kill me! Don't kill me!! ā€

The blind rebels covered their eyes and rolled on the ground in pain, and some of the rebels couldn't accept the sudden loss of sight, so they actually pulled their fingers into their sockets and gouged out their eyeballs.

Since Xiao Ye had no experience in constructing offensive magic flares, she did not maintain the activation time of the luminous structure to less than three seconds like experienced Leiding mages. The luminous structure is originally a low-cost magic structure, and the dominance infused by the leaflets is enough to activate it for a few minutes. Nearby rebels rushed to their aid when they heard the screams, and they were greeted by a ball of light suspended in mid-air that could blind their eyes.

Then the screams rang out again.
