Chapter Eighty-Five: Encounter with the Smeyaka Fort Squad
On both sides were the yellow cliffs, similar to the situation in the Moloch Canyon, but there was no sound to be heard, not only the wind, not even the sound of a small beast, and the whole space was terrifyingly quiet.
"This is Windy Valley?"
Simmons twisted his arm twice, and said to himself: "It's been a long time since I felt this kind of blood, I didn't expect that I still have the opportunity to experience the passion of adventure back then, but before that, I still need to find those guys, otherwise with my ability alone, it will not be easy to snatch the Wind Spirit Demon Crystal." ”
Yes, the task given by Eugene to the first adventure team was not to kill the wind spirit beast to obtain the wind spirit crystal, but to use the most brutal method to snatch it directly from the other participating students.
It's just that what Simmons didn't expect was that he didn't take a few steps before he was stopped in the way.
"Long Wind Fortress? hahaha, you've got a big bargain. ”
A team of five people walked out of the rock wall in front and behind, and looked at Simmons who was lone with bad intentions, seeing that the badge on his body should be from Fort Smeyaka.
Located on the southern border of the kingdom, Smeyaka Fort specializes in horsemanship.
However, there are rules at the exchange that don't allow mounts to be brought in, so Simmons wasn't too nervous.
"You didn't go looking for the Wind Spirit Beast, did you come here to wait for me?" Simmons said to the other party while observing the surrounding terrain.
There are no trails around, and it is impossible to escape.
It seems that there is only a forced breakthrough.
There are two knights, a swordsman, a mage, and an assassin on the other side, which is really a difficult combination.
Simmons spat on the ground, "Since you don't speak, then I'll go first." ”
After Simmons finished speaking, he turned around and turned in the direction of the combination of knight, mage, and assassin.
"Marlowe, stop him!" ordered the knight who appeared to be the leader of the team, and then rushed towards Simmons with the swordsman.
Hearing the footsteps behind him, Simmons leaned down and raised his sword, shielding his left elbow with a reddish glow around him, and rushed towards the mage with a little faster, as if he wanted to finish off the mage from Smeyaka Fort first.
"So ruthless?" Halfway through the recitation of the incantation, the mage who was already wrapped in the red magic element around him was startled, and subconsciously wanted to dodge.
"Don't move, Thor, keep casting spells, he won't hurt you!" The knight named Marlowe raised his shield and stepped in front of the mage, and with a deep sigh, his body sank, and his whole body turned into an impregnable wall.
"Idiot!" the masked assassin from Fort Smeyaka chuckled disdainfully at Simmons' actions.
A swordsman is always a swordsman, and even if he uses secret techniques, he can't compare with an assassin in terms of speed, and he gives up his exquisite sword skills and chooses to fight to the death, which is what only barbarians will do.
Attacking the enemy's strengths with his own shortcomings, Simmons's actions seemed to the masked assassins to be self-defeating.
Finding a tricky angle, the masked assassin suddenly accelerated, targeting Simmons' back.
Within two meters of Simmons' back, the masked assassin leaped into the air and slammed the dagger down in his hand.
The moment the dagger came into contact with the red light next to Simmons, the masked assassin flew out upside down with a ding.
"Idiot!, how could Mentor Eugene's Brute Bull Rush, based on the Centaur Leader's improved skill, be so easy to break. Hearing the sound of a heavy object falling behind him, Simmons whispered disdainfully, and then with a force under his feet, he jumped and raised his long sword, as if to forcibly jump over the defense of Knight Marlowe and kill Thor, the last magician of the team.
"Don't you think!" Marlowe recognized Simmons' intentions, straightened up, raised his shield, and pushed upward.
The expected sound of metal striking did not come, but the shield sank.
Marlowe's face sank, and he was a little angry: "This bastard actually uses my shield as a pedal. ”
Simmons stepped on Marlowe's shield over his head, and Marlowe didn't panic much except anger because Thor's spell was complete.
"Flame Serpent Raid!"
Thor's staff pointed at Simmons, who was rushing towards him, and a giant snake with thick thighs rushed out along the red crystal at the top of the staff.
The flame snake rushed in, and Simmons was still in the air, unable to defend effectively.
However, he didn't intend to defend himself, and raised his free left hand and aimed it at Thor.
Sou!
A small arrow glowing with silver light passed through the flame snake's body, and a small hole instantly appeared in Thor's eyebrows.
The uncontrollable flame snake turned into a hot stream and rushed towards Simmons.
"Thor!"
Marlowe let out a scream as he looked at his companion who was lying on his back.
Thor is his best brother and his best partner, but such a familiar person is dying in front of him today, under his trust in him!
Marlowe's eyes burned.
"I want you dead!"
Marlowe went mad, he abandoned his shield and rushed at Simmons with his great sword.
Simmons turned to look at Marlowe, who was rushing towards him, and sighed in his heart, he could understand this kind of friendship between mercenaries that transcended life and death, but he couldn't agree with this senseless behavior.
Just as he was about to end Marlowe's life with a single sword, an arrow feather flew past the side of his face and plunged into Marlowe's heart.
"Boss, I'm sorry, I'm late. ”
In the distance, Jerry waved and shouted.
"Captain, there's another one, it's hard to deal with. The swordsman stopped chasing Simmons and said to the leading knight beside him.
And the masked assassin who was knocked to the ground by the brute bull charge before also took advantage of Simmons to deal with the magician and gathered with the two.
The knight captain looked at the two corpses not far ahead, forcibly suppressed the anger in his heart, and spit out one word: "Withdraw." ”
The three of them watched Jerry's movements as they quickly ran off into the distance.
Simmons watched the three of them leave, then looked at Marlowe, the knight who had fallen in front of him, and shook his head slightly.
It seems that some of them are not worth it.
"Captain, why did you stop them? As long as you stop them, we will definitely be able to annihilate them. Jerry ran up to Chris and said with a slight dissatisfaction.
"Then why don't you release the arrow?" Simmons asked rhetorically.
"I only brought a pot of feather arrows, and when I was done, I was gone, and if they had reinforcements, I wouldn't be able to pick them up. Jerry pulled out the feathered arrow that had been inserted into Marlowe's body and wiped it with paper.
"Quenched?" Simmons frowned as he looked at the green at the tip of the arrow.
"Quenched, the poison is prepared by Mentor Eugene, as long as ten breaths, the person who is hit by the arrow will definitely die. Jerry said smugly.
"Don't use it again when you go out. Simmons said in a deep voice.
"I know, I don't need to be reminded by the boss. Jerry suddenly raised his nose and sniffed, and finally his eyes fell on Simmons, and immediately exclaimed, "Boss, are you hurt?"
"No, the attack was defused before it landed on me. Simmons rolled up his sleeves, revealing a crossbow tied to his wrist: "I didn't expect it to be said by Mentor Eugene, fortunately we created a second-order crossbow in advance, otherwise I might not be able to kill that mage so easily." ”
