The Divine Favor Chapter 12: The Rain of Fire
In the small church in Beicheng District, the alarm bell suddenly sounded, loud and urgent.
The alarm bell of the church is usually not allowed to be approached at will, and can only be sounded when it is attacked by the enemy, one is to remind everyone in the church to be prepared, and the other is to ask for help. So after hearing the bell, Knight Miller, the head of the chapel knights, quickly gathered ten members of the squad and ran to the gate of the church.
"Uncle's. Glenn, the leader of the bandits on the move, scolded angrily, they had planned to carry out a surprise attack on the church without any defense, so as to achieve a quick victory. Now that the alarm bells are ringing in the silent night, the difficulty of the mission has undoubtedly increased by several levels. But Glenn just cursed, and continued to lead everyone to rush to the goal, no matter how difficult the task was, after the thirty of them stepped into Gothic City, they could only move forward.
There was no prelude to the clash between the Knights and the bandits, and even the morale-boosting before the battle was ignored by both sides.
Gülen took the lead, the tip of the knight's spear in his hand condensed with brilliant blue light. As he got closer, he could even clearly see that the knight on the other side was subtly adjusting his formation, and there was no fear on his face. Then, when they were completely backward in numbers and strength, the knight squad actually launched a counter-charge against them.
"Bang"
"Puff" "Puff" ......
A loud, tooth-aching sound of metal crashing and grinding, interspersed with the faint sound of metal spikes piercing through the human body.
In the first round, the knight squad fell five people, and there were five people left. On the bandit side, three people were lost, and twenty-seven remained.
The battle between the cavalry array of thirty people on horseback and the ten-man knight array on foot should have been an overwhelming victory, but now it is equal, Gülen has a little headache, and the Holy Knights, one of the three major knights, really deserves its name.
The remaining five members of the knight squad, led by the squad leader, retreated from the battlefield in the square in front of the gate to the gate of the church with their backs.
Seeing this, Gülen also knew that the advantage of their cavalry was gone, and if they continued to charge hard, the horses would become a burden. Now he hated the leakers, and if the cavalry had not been prepared in advance and interrupted the charge of thirty men, the whole church would now tremble under their iron hooves.
"Dismount and attack!" Gülen roared, gathering energy again, and the knight's spear in his hand shone even brighter.
The "kill" bandits also roared, and their swords and guns were raised.
"The light and the light live forever!"
The five knights' flat-ended knights' spears shone at the same time, and a huge blade of light swirled and shot out from the tip of their spear, sweeping towards the bandits.
Glenn stopped, his shoulders sank, and the tip of the blue light pierced the middle of the blade of light, and the blue and white rays intersected, and the entire blade of light shattered in half, shooting out from both sides of Gülen until the light dimmed. The Eleventh-Order Knight Technique Moon Blade, which was jointly performed by a tenth-order high-ranking knight and four intermediate-level knights, was pierced by a single shot by the twelfth-order high-level knight Gülen.
Glenn smashed the Moonblade and stepped up the steps, and the bandits rushed forward with him.
"Not good, withdraw. Glenn's eyes cracked and he roared, sensing fluctuations in the energy of spells that threatened his life.
It turned out that inside the gate, five steps away, there were two people, an old man and a young man. The boy was their target tonight. The old man looked dressed in black church robes and was supposed to be the priest of the church.
Gülen reacted so violently when he saw the two of them, because he saw that the old man in a black robe had a yellow light flowing from his fingertips, and he was carving the magic circle on his chest.
It was already late, and as soon as Gülen's reminder was issued, the old man had already completed the portrayal of the magic circle.
"If you offend Shenwei, you have to die!" The old man's eyes were majestic, and the index finger of his right hand pressed on the center of the magic circle, and the light skyrocketed, and the tenth-order spell, the stone forest stabbed.
In front of the church, dozens of rock thorns burst out of the ground. The energy in the body that reacts quickly has been rapidly moving, and the slow reaction is directly pierced by the rock, and he died on the spot.
After casting the spell, Father Etta collapsed and stood unsteadily. Oss was quick and quickly reached out to hold it.
"Hey, it's not okay to be unconvinced, a tenth-order spell will deplete my mana. ”
"It's already amazing, Father Eta. "Oss is telling the truth, not deliberately exaggerating to please the old man. The old man's tenth-order stone forest stab, the spell was cast suddenly, and the timing was just right, which directly caused more than half of the bandits to be killed or wounded, and now there are only twelve bandits who can still fight hard.
Despite this, there is not much force left in the church at present, and Father Etta can no longer attack, and the strongest combat force of the bandits, the middle-aged man who has been standing in front of him, is only slightly injured in his left arm because of his timely evasion. So, the situation remains critical.
"Father, lead the rest of the people into the prayer hall, which is easy to defend and difficult to attack. These bandits are coming for me, I'm here to divert their main force, and if there's a chance, you and Captain Miller will lead everyone to rush out first. ”
"Then what's the matter, you're facing the main force of the bandits alone, isn't that hitting a stone with an egg?"
Oss shook his head, "Father, I have a way, I want to give it a try." And, otherwise, everyone in the church would have to die here tonight. ”
Hearing this, Father Etta could only approve of Oss's arrangement, and took advantage of the time when the bandits cleared the rock thorns at the door, and the five knights withdrew to the prayer hall, and instructed Oss before leaving. "Be careful"
Oss looked indifferently at the bandit leader who had finished clearing the rock thorns, and asked, "Your target is me, right?"
"Yes, you will die tonight. Seeing that Oss had not fled, Gülen was not in a hurry, and turned his head and commanded. "Yuri, you take five people to follow the few who just left, they must have joined up with the rest of the church, that mage has run out of mana and has no ability to cast spells anymore, just don't let them escape after finding it, and look for you when I kill the target." You take care of your wounded brothers, and the others come with me. ”
"What if you can't kill me?" Oss asked.
"That's when we die. Glenn smirked.
"Then you just follow me. ”
"Okay, then watch out for the back when you run away. ”
Oss suddenly turned three hundred and sixty degrees, spun and threw the long sword in his hand, and then used his legs to exert force and run.
Glenn dodged his sword sideways, turned and lunged in the direction of Oss's escape, with the five bandits following closely behind. After running two steps, Gülen leaned back, and with the momentum of the forward charge, a standard pole was thrown, and the knight's spear in his right hand shot out.
Oss had been paying attention to the rear during the run, and hurriedly rolled after seeing the knight's spear that had been fired sharply, but the knight's spear was too fast, and it was obvious that Gülen had used the energy of force.
boom
The knight's spear was stuck diagonally into the ground to the left of Os, the tail still swinging. Although the general will dodge, but Oss's left arm is still bruised, the huge force directly knocked Oss three meters away, Oss leaped with strength, regardless of the left arm that had lost consciousness, and continued to run.
Passing through the small square in the church and running through the alley between the dormitories, the corridor leading to the west attic appeared in front of him, and Gülen and his group of six gradually approached.
At the end of the corridor, Oss squatted on the ground, gasping for breath, the bandits kept chasing, Oss did not dare to relax for a moment, and maintained a full sprint throughout the whole process, this chase was really physically exhausting.
Glenn stood five meters away from Oss, looking at Oss who was squatting and resting with his bloodied left arm, and was suspicious for a while, this boy gave him a very unusual feeling, the previous response, the decisiveness and alertness when he escaped, everything proved that the boy was not a person who would give up easily. At this moment, he was just squatting in front of him, he didn't know that he could kill him with one punch if he rushed forward?
No, he knew, but he did that, and looked at himself with a smile on his face.
Suddenly, Gülen regretted accepting the assignment a little, he didn't like this feeling, and he was inexplicably a little uneasy. He was a twelfth-order high-level knight, and he was followed by five middle-level professionals from the seventh to the ninth order. And the young man on the other side was just a seventh-order intermediate swordsman. In a completely crushed situation, what can the teenager do?
It can't be possible, mage, magic circle, he can only think of this possibility, but the conditions for the magic circle to trigger are very harsh, and a mage can't trigger a magic circle higher than his own rank, this is the consensus. The information that the shadow gave himself was very detailed, the boy only started learning spells more than a month ago, even if he was a genius, at most he was a second-order mage apprentice. I shouldn't be flustered, it must be a teenager's bluff.
So, Gülen stepped forward with his right foot.
At the same time as Gülen moved, the boy seemed to see through Gülen's thoughts and spoke.
"Do you think I'm bluffing?"
"Otherwise, I've sensed it, and you're the only one here besides us. If there really was a master I couldn't perceive, then he would have shot at the beginning, and we would have died a long time ago, and there would have been so many things to follow. So, what do you want to die? Will I smash your head with a punch, or break your neck?" Glenn grew more confident and less suspicious. yes, what are you suspecting?
Oss sat directly on the ground and said seriously. "I'm a mage, I just woke up five days ago. ”
"Really, you've become a high-level mage in five days?" Glenn laughed, no longer having any scruples, he was going to do it, and now the only thing that could threaten his life was to have a high-level spell that could be instantaneous, and he had to be avoided.
Oss stretched out his right hand, and a rich red glow came from the tip of his index finger, pressing heavily on the cloister floor in front of him.
In an instant, the entire corridor floor shone with dense fiery red lines, and all the elemental energy in Os's body was emptied, which was not enough, and a low-level magic stone hidden in his hand was also quickly sucked out of the magic circle and directly shattered.
The entire northern city was illuminated by blinding flames, and ninety-nine basketball-sized fireballs appeared densely above the church cloister and fell rapidly, and the cloister was flanked by heavy walls, and there was nowhere to escape. Glenn and the five bandits watched in despair as the fireball swarm smashed down on them from the sky overhead.
Tenth-Order Circle, Fire Rain. The most powerful and most difficult tenth-order combination spell to complete, the difficulty of depicting is comparable to that of a twelve-order magic circle, but it only needs to be activated, because it is completely composed of fireball spells.
Nearly a hundred fireballs were fired intensively, and the five bandits became charcoal, and Gülen only had his last breath left, and he spoke hoarsely with difficulty.
"You can't be that strong. ”
Oss sighed, got up weakly, crouched down beside Gülen, and showed Glenn the magic stone that had been shattered into powder in his palm.
"I'm a genius portrayer, a very genius and a genius, and an old man said that my portrayal talent is ranked in the top ten in history. Then, it just so happens that I have a Flame Magic Stone that is enough to fill my lack of energy to activate the magic circle, so you will die unjustly. ”
On the mainland, there was a saying.
Never step into a battlefield predetermined by a Super Carver, as he may have spent a hundred years carving a combo forbidden spell there.
