34. Chapter 34
A barrier abruptly blocked the way of several men, and Teucer took hold of the reins, and the two horses pulling the cart raised their front hooves and let out a long neigh.
After the car stabilized, a circle of people had already gathered around several people, Angelo turned around and looked, "It seems that my potion is still very useful, seeing that you have recovered so quickly, aren't you here to thank you?" β
"I think the Rock Crackers could be renamed the Stone Crackers Bandits." As soon as Casey spoke, Teucer and Benedict wrung their eyebrows, and the carriage took two steps back, and a fireball suddenly appeared behind the carriage to block the retreat.
"This little brother has misunderstood us." Rudolph smiled, took two steps forward, and raised his hands to show that he was harmless, if this action was fine before that fireball appeared, now, no one would believe it. "We have been poisoned by our little brother, and we have recovered so quickly from our injuries, we are not the ungrateful people, and when we are healed, we will chase you and escort you out of the valley."
Rudolph said sincerely, and even walked in front of them with his hands wide open, but none of them would make a move, not to mention that the only person in the team who could compete with him, the Great Sword Master, was Benedict, who showed the strength of the Great Sword Master, and said that the people around them who were surrounded by the Broken Stone would not give them the time and opportunity to attack first.
"Why does the regimental commander have to say this?" Casey thought that Rudolph's words were directed at him, and continued with a sneer, "You are surrounded by a group of people, and you say that you want to escort?" β
In the previous life, Casey and Teucer had also infiltrated the mercenary group when they fled, but because the strength of the Teucer Sword Master was too strong at that time, they were always found quickly, although they did not stay in the mercenary group for a long time, but the basic rules still understood, this kind of regimental vigilance tactics are clearly used when they want to attack.
Provoked by Casey's words, Rudolph took the opportunity to dispense with hypocrisy, "Since you don't believe me, then we have nothing to say." Rudolph flashed with fighting energy, and the weapon he took out from behind him turned out to be not an ordinary heavy sword but a black iron rod, which was covered by fighting spirit at this time, revealing a layer of golden light.
Angelo was preparing when Rudolph changed his face, and at this time his weapon just gave Angelo the convenience of attacking, and a lightning bolt struck Rudolph's hands directly.
At this time, the lightning, which was not dense, seemed to have received a summons and began to gather towards the sky here. Rudolph, whose hands were concentrated, pretended to grin in pain, and then regained his fΓΉ and looked at Angelo with a sneer, "If I am not very sure, how can I use such a weapon in this Falling Thunder Valley." β
Sure enough, lightning had no effect on him. Angelo's expression tightened slightly, and the corners of his mouth hooked, "It seems that I am useless." So saying, he took two steps back and retreated to the side of the carriage!
Seeing this scene, Rudolph's heart tightened, could it be that the actions of himself and others were already under their control? It's impossible, if you had known why someone was following them and didn't speed up and gave them a chance to attack, with the strength of these people, they would definitely not be able to compete with them.
Just as Rudolph's thoughts were turning, the stone-splitting man had gradually surrounded the carriage in the middle, and Angelo looked at the clouds in the sky and the increasingly dense small lightning bolts, and put his hands out together to support a power grid barrier. In the Falling Thunder Valley, the only one who can continue to maintain it is the lightning mage. And as soon as this barrier came out, he skillfully covered himself and Casey, who were closest to the carriage, into the barrier, and the three swordsmen who were isolated smiled at the same time, and the battle had begun.
Among the mercenaries, they were supposed to find their own corresponding opponents, but at this time, the two sides had abandoned a rule, and the two great swordsmen of the Split Stone contained Benedict, while the remaining magicians completely ignored the remaining two, and only handed them over to the fighters in the team to deal with, and the magicians attacked the barrier with all their might.
However, the barrier that was expected to be broken in one fell swoop only shook a few times under the attack of fireballs and wooden spikes, and it still insisted on not shattering. The three magicians outside glanced at each other and increased the strength in their hands, the fire was raging, the entire barrier was enclosed, and they couldn't see each other inside and outside.
When Teucer saw the scene on the other side of the carriage, he was anxious, and he shot a little faster, but he didn't mess up. It's just that there are many enemies, and it is not a long-term solution after all. Teucer and Kos don't have a tacit understanding, so they fight on their own, and Kos, the one who splits the stone, is more familiar, but the one who splits the stone doesn't know Kos thoroughly, or rather, the brain is not as fast as Kos.
As a swordsman, he is two levels behind Teucer at the level of a swordsman, but he relies on his flexibility to maneuver, and Kos has not fallen behind for a while. In contrast, Benedict, who was holding each other back with the two great swordsmen, was in danger from time to time, obviously trying to support him.
Inside the barrier, Angelo turned his head to look at Casey on the other side, "You're a light magician, but a member of the Holy See?" "Light magicians are not rare, but most of the methods are mastered by the Holy See, ordinary light magicians will at most simply use the light elements to heal injuries and drive poison, but the purification and blessing of the light system and even the attack spells are in the hands of the Holy See, and even the Holy See Successive Popes can also master the eleventh or even twelfth level of forbidden spells, which are recited by multiple light saints and popes at the same time, taking life as a sacrifice, destroying the world and seeking rebirth.
Originally, Angelo expected that Casey would not reveal his identity as the Holy See, after all, few people from the Holy See would go on missions with mercenaries and even come to this Thunder Valley to adventure. Moreover, Casey and the others did not use pseudonyms, and if they wanted others to know, they would have to turn themselves into the Holy See to find out what was wrong. However, Angelo obviously didn't expect Casey's self-confidence, in Casey's opinion, these three people are just passers-by, and they will not meet again after leaving this Thunder Valley, and even, if these three people have a change in their hearts, maybe there will never be a chance to see each other again.
The white light flashed, Casey's eyes were closed, and he tried his best to bless, and Angelo could clearly feel that the pressure on his support barrier was much less. It seems that this light blessing is indeed useful, but I don't know where I need to go if I want to make the light system condense.
If Casey knew that Angelo could still think crankily when casting spells, he would be surprised that he couldn't keep his mouth shut, and then try his best to win over this wizard. It's a pity that Casey didn't have the energy to pay attention to anything else when he was blessed.
The five magicians attacking outside were shocked in their hearts, although they were not at the level of a great magician, but they had a very tacit understanding of getting along day and night for many years, and even if they were great magicians, they had to retreat three points, but a simple barrier was so difficult, it was really incredible.
Seeing that the barrier could not be attacked for a long time, Rudolph dodged, completely handed over Benedict to Tiger to deal with, and went to stab with his heavy sword. And just as he was withdrawing, Benedict's long sword turned, and Tiger's heavy sword was not able to close the momentum and pierced into the back of Rudolph's heart, at the same time, Tiger's back heart was cold, and the cold blade that had just skewed the direction of his heavy sword was rising in front of him at this time.
The scene of the scuffle just now ended instantly, Benedict drew his long sword, and instead of helping the two Kos who were still fighting, he used the fastest speed to kill the five magicians besieging the barrier.
The flames on the periphery were extinguished instantly, and Angelo in the power grid breathed a sigh of relief, but the hand supporting the barrier did not retract, and outside, Teucer, who saw that there was nothing to do here, also settled down to concentrate on resisting the enemy.
Rudolph and Tiger are dead, all the magicians in the team have been killed, and the rest of the Crackstone know that they are lucky enough to be lucky this time.
The female swordsman Eli fought and retreated, exited the battle circle against Kos, looked around, took off her sword and ran towards a gorge, Kos and the two couldn't take care of it, her face was anxious, Benedict smiled, shook her head and signaled that it was okay, and she should kill the person in front of her first, without companions, she couldn't live a woman.
The people who split the stone didn't know about the mercenary guild, but they were afraid that no matter how long Eli persisted in this valley, no matter how long she persisted in this valley, someone would not come in, not to mention that the terrain in this valley was complicated, and escaping was the most painful choice to die.
The three of them joined forces and quickly slashed the enemy in front of them. Looking at the flickering mercenary badge on the ground, Kos sneered, "I'm afraid that in a few days, the Split Stone Mercenary Group will disappear in the guild." As he spoke, he lit up the mercenary badge on a dead swordsman, Benedict and Teucer understood and lit the badge one by one, while Angelo and Casey were in charge of the five magicians.
"Light up the badge, and the news of their death can be concealed for a few more days, no matter how we go out from that mouth, we will have to go through the Mercenary Guild, and if we don't keep it, we will know the Cracked Stone." Kos smiled and explained the meaning of the move to Angelo, who was a little dazed.
Angelo nodded, and then walked behind Benedict, although he didn't do it himself, but these people were more or less killed by their own intention. When he was in the Abyssal Forest, Angelo was used to seeing animal corpses, and although there were not many corpses at the moment, they were all human. Angelo was a little unwell, but he was much better than the other day when he smelled blood and vomited at the Mercenary Guild.
Touching a warm palm behind him, a trace of gentle power wandered in his body, Angelo raised his head and smiled, just as he collided with a pair of worried golden eyes, his eyes rolled, and a pitiful and frightened look came to his eyes, only to see Benedict's heart twitch, and just as he was about to speak, he saw that the look in those eyes had turned into a laugh. Rubbing Angelo's hair helplessly, Benedict didn't care at all how surprised his two actions were in the eyes of Teucer.
Looking at the helplessness in Benedict's eyes, Angelo couldn't help but laugh, and instantly thought that this was not the right place, and forcibly swallowed it.
"Alright, let's go on the road as much as we can." Benedict chuckled and blocked Angelo's vision, while Teucer walked over to the carriage and looked Casey up and down.
Casey shook her head as she straightened Teucer's hair, which had just been messed up from the fight, and smiled at the corners of her mouth, and the warm atmosphere overflowed, but it was closer than the posture of Angelo and Angelo just now.
Angelo raised his eyebrows, "Tut, it's so sweet." The meaning of the ridicule is self-evident, the relationship between the two was known by Casey and the two before, and it was only at this time that the two broke the relationship, but they fell behind.
The two people in front smiled at the same time, after the First World War, no one could be as estranged as before. Unless, Kos looked at Casey, who was instructing something, and walked behind Angelo, "Mu, if this kid hadn't spoken authentically just now, we wouldn't have been so thrilling." β
Kos's words were not disguised, and although he did not quite know the purpose of Angelo's actions, he, as a cunning man, still had some thoughts about the carriage that was obviously carrying the treasure. Casey didn't necessarily know about it just now, but he cooperated all the way, just waiting for Casey to tell the truth.
"Don't mention the past." Angelo stopped Kos, who still wanted to continue, and smiled at the corner of his mouth, this was enough, and Teucer, who had dealt with nobles for many years, naturally understood what to say at this time.
On the other hand, Benedict touched his chin, as if he was in the wrong direction, he seemed to have forgotten one thing, his baby, in the eyes of outsiders, is not a saint.
