Vol. 12 The Rise of the Darkwalkers! Chapter 43: Rage I
Xiao Gu and the other four people pushed the prisoner cart that imprisoned Arma to a col not far away and hid it, and then hid in a pre-agreed place, where there were several gray and white rocks eroded by frost and snow, forming a shelter to cover their bodies just in front, and through the gaps between the rocks and mountain grass, they could easily see the mountain path below.
It was assumed that the team chasing them would pass by noon at the latest.
"We can't expose our numbers, and we can't disperse, we have to concentrate our forces and use them," Xiao Gu and the people in the guild vaguely remembered what the captain had said before, and now he had said it again, and the old paladin nodded silently after hearing this.
"No, the main attacker is you, the boss, and the secondary attacker is me," the Ugly Sanctuary said as he stood up with his head held high and confident.
Bone glanced at the priestess, who smiled and gave him a trusting look.
Bone nodded, then crouched down, his eyes looking ahead for a moment, like a frozen stone statue.
They waited without saying a word, while accumulating their strength, and keeping an eye on the movements around them, the ugly templar was half lying on the ground, he strangled a worm with his hands, then pulled a long green grass and put it in his mouth and chewed it, half-crossed his eyelids and hummed a folk song that he didn't know about the country, and after waiting patiently for two hourglasses, the sunlight in the sky had gradually moved overhead.
Suddenly, the ugly templar's expression moved, and he scrambled to his feet, and let out a low cry, "Here it is." ”
Several people's expressions tightened.
"Sure enough, there are seven people, and the adult's information is very accurate. The Ugly Sanctuary spit out the long grass in his mouth with a thud, his eyes narrowed slightly, and the sword in his hand slowly pulled out of its scabbard.
At the foot of the hill came the sound of horses' hooves, and a group of knights, from far to near, gradually galloped towards the place where they were ambushed, neither fast nor slow.
Bone looked at the enemy's formation very carefully. He remembers what the captain would order him to do if he was on a mission with a guild member. Look at the menacing team. He looked again at his teammates who were waiting for him to give the order. I actually felt a heavy feeling in my heart. It's purely a gut feeling. He felt strange. Why do you feel this way? Because this was something I had never experienced before when I was alone.
But at the same time, he knew it vaguely. This seems to be the task that adults call it. Liability. These are conceptual words that originally only existed in the mind. Now it has finally evolved into a concrete substance that weighs heavily on the chest.
In the course of observation. Little Bone's eyes quickly caught eye on the two mages dressed in the middle of the queue. He remembers it well. When Luo Lan led the team into the hinterland of the Dark Realm. He had been asked to raid a mage. So he realized at the moment. These two mages are the ones who must prioritize the removal of terrestrial objects.
The fire elemental began to gather in his hands. His goal was the second mage. Because this man still looks very young. In the impression that this is relatively easy to deal with. Often, magical mastery is directly proportional to age.
The Bone Ground Fireball Burst Attack Tactic has gained some experience after a few successful battles. He was able to judge how the opponent might react after each fireball. So he has a great grasp. This is also one of the factors that prioritize attacking mage lands.
The team of horses was getting closer. Even the dust and slight exhaustion on everyone's face could be seen clearly.
Xiao Gu waited silently, and the fire element in his hand gradually condensed into a fireball suspended in his palm. Looking at his solemn expression, the breath of the other three teammates began to become rapid.
At the moment when the horse team turned a corner, Xiao Gu launched, and the two fireballs rushed towards the two mages one on the left and one on the right, and the fireworks pulled out a tail of fire in the air, and the sultry wave of air was the first to press on the mouths and noses of the two mages, but a surprising scene happened, the two mages did not react decently at all, and the heads of the two men were exploded at the same time.
Xiao Gu couldn't help but be stunned. The other party didn't seem to be as powerful as he imagined, his purpose was just to harass one of them first, and then concentrate on getting rid of one, so that it would be much easier to deal with, but what he didn't expect was that the two fireballs actually worked at the same time, which surprised him and realized that something was wrong;
The group jumped off their horses almost immediately after the attack, and all of them hid behind the horses.
One of them, the tall and thin knight who seemed to be the leader, calmly glanced at the two corpses and said, "There won't be too many people attacking us. Otherwise, it would have been enough to solve us just now. He searched the mountain with a sharp look. A code was given with a gesture.
Xiao Gu couldn't help but feel a little strange as he looked at the people below who were motionless and confronted them. The ugly sanctuary also grinned, shouting and scolding: "Hey, don't dare to come up and ...... with Lao Tzu" Before he finished speaking, he suddenly jumped to the side, and then raised the sword in his hand and slashed down on a rock.
A terrible scream suddenly tore through the air, and a thief whose legs had been broken at the knee appeared out of thin air and rolled down from the rock, scarlet blood splattered the ugly Sanctuary all over his face, and then the latter wiped it very carelessly, shook his sword proudly, and said, "Do ......you want to hide it from my ears?"
With a "snort", the Ugly Sanctuary suddenly rolled his eyes upward, and he grabbed the arrow that pierced his throat, and fell backwards without saying a word.
The female priest let out an exclamation, and just raised the scepter in her hand, but the old paladin grabbed her wrist, shook her head, and said in a deep voice: "It's hopeless, save your strength." ”
Bone suddenly realizes that he has made a serious mistake, that is, he did not think about the role of the two thieves in the opposing camp first, perhaps because he had too much contact with the thieves, and instead ignored their existence, which indirectly led to the death of one of his teammates.
The tall and thin knight under the hillside coldly put down the bow and arrow in his hand, he pointed in one direction, and with a wave of his hand, the remaining four people followed his footsteps and trotted up the hillside, their steps were the same, and they were light and fast, Xiao Gu noticed that there were two horses in this team of horses that were specially used to carry all kinds of weapons, and at this moment a burly swordsman carried all the weapons on his back, and he did not slow down at all.
Now that the hidden location has been exposed. Then there was no need to cover up, Xiao Gu jumped onto the rock, and with both hands up at the same time, the tyrannical fire elemental soared from the ground, and then turned into a huge fireball in the air and spurted towards the target.
Looking at the imposing sphere of flames, the slender knight's pupils shrank. But he didn't dodge, a short swordsman with a shield beside him suddenly took a step, raised the shield in his hand that was almost the same size as his side, and there was a bang, and the short swordsman's figure was shocked and took a few steps back, but that's all, he didn't suffer any damage, and then he stood firm again.
As soon as the tall and thin knight stretched out his hand, the burly swordsman behind him immediately handed a dragon spear into his palm. As soon as it reached his hand, a stream of black flames instantly filled the body of the spear, and the thin knight's brilliant eyes stared at the place where Xiao Gu stood. Walking step by step up the hillside, his heavy black armor and steady and powerful steps all over his body made people feel like a solid and tall wall pushing forward.
Xiao Gu looked at the formation of the other party in front of him, he suddenly jumped off the rock, and said: "There is one less person, we can't fight them head-on, scatter! Find an opportunity to kill them one by one!"
Originally, the Ugly Templar was responsible for frontal attack and defense, Xiao Gu served as the main attacker, the elderly paladin was responsible for planning and covering, and the young female priest was responsible for assistance. This is the most basic and most reasonable battle formation, but the opponent they are facing is also a well-organized, good at cooperating with the combat team, although two mages and one thief were killed, but Xiao Gu can see that it has not had much impact on the opponent's combat effectiveness at all, and the opponent has surpassed his own group of not tacit squads in terms of combat awareness or mutual cooperation.
Since it is impossible to confront it head-on. Then they had to disperse.
"Disperse!"
Xiao Gu and the female priest immediately separated and ran in two different directions, each looking for a hidden place, but when they ran out for a while, Xiao Gu glanced back, but suddenly stopped, the old paladin still stayed in place and did not move, his one eye exuded a calm gaze at the moment, and he calmly drew his sword with one hand, and the divine light on his body loomed.
This is...... Are you buying me time to hide?
The little bone just turned this thought. Immediately, the figure of the enemy appeared in the line of sight.
The tall and lanky knight stood at the forefront. He looked at the divine shield on the old paladin's body with a sharp gaze, and frowned slightly. The old paladin remained motionless and sneered at his opponent.
The tall and thin knight nodded, he did not rush to make a move, but threw away the dragon spear in his hand, and as soon as he stretched out his hand, the burly swordsman with the weapon behind him immediately handed a mace flail into his hand, the row of sharp nail teeth glowed coldly and shiny in the light, he checked it with his hand, and then looked at the old paladin with bad intentions, and the latter's face couldn't help but change.
Xiao Gu felt that something was wrong, he silently recited a spell, pointed forward, and a fireball rushed out violently, rushing towards the other party, but the short swordsman holding a huge shield suddenly flashed, and steadily blocked the fireball outside the shield, his whole body shrank in the protection of the shield, and there was a bang, this time the impact of the fireball was even worse than the last time, except for making the short swordsman's body shake, he didn't even move his steps.
The tall and lanky knight didn't pay attention to Xiao Gu, he didn't even look at it, his whole energy was focused on the old templar, and there was not a trace of fluctuation in his cold face.
He slowly raised the huge flail and swung it down, and then, heavily!
Rumble!
The collision between the flail and the divine shield suddenly produced a loud sound, and the old paladin snorted, and the shield's original dazzling light suddenly shook, as if it might be broken at any time, and he turned his head with difficulty to look at Xiao Gu, with a complicated look in his eyes.
But Xiao Gu understands, that's to let him go, go quickly!
In the face of such a strong enemy, Xiao Gu felt powerless for the first time, and his chest seemed to be filled with an extremely uncomfortable taste, he didn't want to think about it, he didn't want to listen, he just wanted to get out of here quickly.
And in fact, he did the same, in the running, his mind at this time appeared at this time the words that the mentor had repeatedly said, such as in the face of a strong enemy, to choose a temporary retreat, to find opportunities and flaws and then give a fatal blow, such as fighting is an art, can not be brutal, but although he knows all this, but at this moment there seems to be an inexplicable emotion pulling him, forcing him to turn back and rescue his teammates.
This thought and the reason in his heart repeatedly fought for control of the body, and then it was completely shattered by the sound of a skull shattering behind him.
