Forest of Chaos Chapter 19: The Battle Begins
Barble and Oss would never have imagined that while the two of them were arguing about the principle of the Assassin and the Knight, whether a higher rank would lead to a counter-attack, a real battle was going on in a camp fifty miles from them.
The old assassin slashed the throat of the mage of the Bloodrage Mercenary Regiment, and then disappeared into the darkness. His disappearance caused a collective panic among all members of the Bloodrage Mercenary Regiment, including their leader, Glumb.
Although Glenbu was a Glory Knight at the peak of the eighteenth order, before the Assassin Old Man made a move, he did not perceive any energy leakage from the Old Assassin at all, which showed that the Assassin Old Man was definitely a Silent Sky Sage.
It's just that Glumbu is not sure whether the old man is nineteenth, twenty, or even more powerful twenty-first.
Assassins are good at assassination and weak at fighting.
The old assassin had been hiding his strength, holding back when several of Pompey's guards died. That's because he's waiting for the best chance to make a move, and the chanting mage is a great target for an Assassin.
If Glenb had been told from the beginning that there was a Silent Sage in the Pompey family's guard, he would definitely have gathered the strength of the whole group and killed him first. Exchanging the lives of most of the mercenary group members for the lives of a saint-level powerhouse, this transaction is simply not too worthwhile.
Glenbu's affirmation that the old man was only a Silent Sage, not a god. That's because, if the old man is a god-level powerhouse, even if he is just a god who is not good at confrontational combat, then the old man can completely rely on his own strength to wipe out their Blood Fury Mercenary Group in an instant.
In fact, deep down in his heart, Glenn Bu had a guess about the level of the old man, and he thought that the old man was very likely to be only the nineteenth order.
But even if the old man was only the nineteenth order, he was still a realm higher than him. What's more, he was not with his team at this time, and he was fighting alone, not only to guard against the sneak attack of a Silent Sky Sage, but also to deal with the slashing of a great sword master whose strength was no worse than him.
Compared to Glumb, his players were even more panicked. One of the most powerful knights among them was only sixteenth-order, and in the face of an assassin who was at least three orders higher than them, they had not yet collapsed collectively and fled in all directions, even if it was very powerful.
The Bloodfury Mercenaries were in despair and wailing, while the Pompey Guardian was surprised and uplifted. The strength of the two sides was exchanged, and the circumstances were immediately completely different. If I had to describe the situation at this moment, it would be to go from heaven to hell in just a moment.
The first person in the audience to react from the shock was Dale, he didn't know that the old man who completely regarded himself as a butler was actually a saint-level powerhouse, but after thinking about it carefully, he also felt that it was very reasonable.
Others may not know how much the Pompeau family really values Colin, but he does. Since it is so important, and this operation is to enter the Chaos Forest, which is known as the most dangerous area on the continent, it is only natural for the family to send experts to protect it.
Seeing that Dale took advantage of Glumb's failure to recover from the shock, he immediately raised his greatsword and launched an attack on Glumb.
Faced with Dayler's sudden attack, Glenn could only barely parry.
And just as Glumb was holding the knight's spear in both hands to block, a dagger with a cold light reached out of the darkness and slashed directly at his back.
Glumb tried his best to dodge, but he couldn't dodge. Thankfully, he was able to get out of the way in time, and the dagger easily sliced through his armor, leaving a wound in his back.
The flesh was flipped open to both sides, and blood gushed out.
Glumb waved his knight's spear behind him, but it struck in the air.
Knock back with a single blow, and the old assassin knows this. The best battlefield for an Assassin is in the dark, and the greatest deterrent is always the unsung sword.
Glenbu roared angrily, took a hard hit from Dayler, and then used his strength to reflect towards the location of the large army of the Bloodrage Mercenary Regiment.
Tonight's fiasco is irretrievable, but Glumb must join up with the main force at this time, and there may be a chance of survival after the convergence.
Glumb was tall and strong, and with that heavy armor, his own weight was already extremely bulky. But the speed of his retreat was not slow at all, but very fast. Between the two take-offs and landings, Glenb had already flown more than ten meters away.
Just as he exhaled a breath of turbidity, took in another breath of fresh air, and breathed in for a breath. The sharp, broken iron dagger emerged from the darkness once more, stabbing him in the back of the waist.
"Your uncle's. ”
Glenn Bu burst into a foul mouth, and he didn't have time to catch his breath, so he could only turn around and use his left arm to block the dagger that stabbed him in the back.
Although he blocked the vital part with his arm, a new wound was added to his forearm. Glenn was quite brave and was wounded twice in quick succession, but his movements were not affected in the slightest.
Of course, Dayler pursued him with the same speed. As he ran, the giant sword in his hand stabbed straight at Glumb.
Glumb heard the sound of the air breaking behind him, and knew that it was Dale's attack that was approaching, and he didn't dare to dodge anymore because it would slow him down. If he slowed down a bit, Dale and the old Assassin would never have given him a chance to join up with his men.
Dayler did indeed intend to do so, and he attacked Glumb at this time, hoping to hinder Glenb and keep him. But if Glumb insisted on running away despite his full force, then his sword would definitely hurt Glenn Bu on the spot.
Dodging doesn't work, and it doesn't work to resist Dayler's full force, and it seems that Glumb is already in a desperate situation.
"Am I really a piece of meat on the chopping board?"
Glumb muttered to himself, and then suddenly his eyes flashed, and the energy of force poured out wildly. Then, with a loud roar, Glumb's body reversed at an uncanny angle, facing Dayler.
With a fierce look in his eyes, Glenbu jumped back two times in a row, and then used the high-level Demon Spirit Knight Spear in his hand as a javelin and threw it directly at Dale.
Dale didn't expect Glumb to be willing to give up his weapon, so he didn't expect Glenb to be able to fight back.
Late.
The knight's spear flew in front of Dale's eyes in an instant, and Dale didn't dare to make a hard connection, so he could only dodge sideways, but he also lost the opportunity to pursue on his side.
With the power of the shock of throwing the knight's spear, Glenbu shot lightning at the place where the Bloodfury Mercenary Regiment was. The old assassin didn't strike again, and perhaps Glumb's speed made him feel tricky.
In the end, Glumb paid two wounds, along with his weapon, to get back to his team.
"Array, standby. Glumb said solemnly to the rest of the Bloodfury Mercenary Regiment.
After hearing his order, the remaining twenty-five members of the Blood Fury Mercenary Regiment no longer continued to besiege the Pompey family guards, but collectively retreated a certain distance, and then lined up to defend.
Colin watched silently as the members of the Blood Fury Mercenary Regiment withdrew from the encirclement, reaching out to stop the pursuit of a dozen or so guards beside him. Most of the guards were badly or lightly wounded, and they needed a moment of respite and bandaging.
At this time, the balance of victory in this battle was completely in favor of the Pompey family guards, and Colin did not want to fight all the guards, so as to immediately wipe out the Blood Fury mercenary group.
Sometimes it's a little bit of a slowdown to get a better victory.
However, Glumb, who was standing in the array, took out a round ball from his arms with a gloomy face and crushed it directly.
In the midst of Glenb's rampant laughter, a dazzling and thick white light shot out from the ball and hit the sky.
The reason why Glenbu desperately wanted to return to the position of the Blood Fury Mercenary Group was not to escape independently with the help of the strength of the team, but to crush this "Titan Soul" that could be used for help.
Now that the distress signal has been issued, they just need to hold on to the opponent's attack, and the longer they can hold on, the better.
Colin realized that he had miscalculated when he saw that Glenb had not bandaged his wound in the first place, but had uncharacteristically pulled out a ball from his arms. He didn't expect the Blood Fury Mercenary Group to possess such an extremely precious thing.
The Soul of the Titans is a unique distress item to the Titan Empire, and its craftsmanship has been lost for thousands of years. It is rumored that to this day, the entire Titan Empire cannot find a hundred.
When the white light illuminates the entire sky, it can be seen by everyone within a hundred miles of it.
The rain was still falling, and Dayler silently walked back to the queue with his greatsword. The old Assassin also appeared, his hands folded in his sleeves, and stood back at Colin's side.
The two arrays were facing each other, but at this moment, dozens of pairs of eyes on the battlefield were all looking at Colin in the center of the Pompey family escort array.
Colin touched his nose, turned his head to look at the old assassin, and asked, "Old butler, how sure are you that you can kill Glumb after the fight?"
The old assassin, who was called the old butler, pondered for a moment and said, "If it is a step-by-step attack, I will need to kill Glumb after he joins the battlefield, and I predict that the time will be half a prayer hour. If it's a quick kill at all costs, I can fight for minor injuries and kill him directly in their formation as soon as possible. ”
The old assassin gave the answer, and Colin raised an eyebrow. If the battle dragged on, Colin didn't know what else would happen, but Colin didn't want the old butler to be injured, because they still had a long way to go.
In the end, Colin decided to gamble his luck and opted for a step-by-step attack, allowing the old butler to find a suitable opportunity to make another move.
And just as Colin made his decision, five teams were rushing to the battlefield at full speed. And then before long, more teams will be on the way.
The Great War is coming!
