Chapter Ninety-Seven: Oh, it's over
Mephistopheles casually slashed off the entwined tentacles and turned the bird's head, intending to make a detour out of the area full of octopus legs, distance himself from the other party, and charge again.
He was the commander of the Barren Mountain Bandits' operation.
At noon today, the stubble that had been sweeping around the stronghold was gone, and their souls were found in the Dead Soul Lamp, which had signed a contract with all the barren bandits, indicating that they were dead.
Unexpectedly, there were still people in this area who felt that the leader of the barren mountain bandits' prestige was furious, and finally sent them to carry out a surprise attack as quickly as possible, striving to completely destroy that village, leaving no chickens and dogs!
It's just that now it seems that something is wrong......
"What the hell is this!"
A mage beside Mephistopheles looked at the wriggling tentacles and cursed.
"Don't you recognize this magic?" Mephistopheles asked respectfully.
Although he was the nominal commander of this attack, Mephistopheles knew that the status of these mages in the hearts of the boss was much higher than his own, and if he really dared to put on a show for these mages and slap their faces, maybe the boss would have to 'borrow your head' to appease them when he returned.
"It's not magic, it's not even magic...... It's more like a means of sacrifice for the fish-people, but people on land generally don't believe in the god of the sea...... Could it be that the necromancers in the Black Tower have developed some strange undead creature magic? "The old mage fell into doubt.
It seems that there is no way to get the other party to continue to help in the short term.
Mephistopheles sighed secretly, and at the same time, he couldn't help but be glad that the young man on the other side who used this magic didn't seem to be able to master it well, although these magic were very weird, but they were not very powerful.
As long as the speed of the chocobo's charge increases, these octopus feet will not be able to pick up on them at all!
Having said that, while they were in a state of confusion, another sword-wielding teenager had already rushed into the octopus's foot area and easily took out those who couldn't break free in time.
Unexpectedly, just one charge would lose a tenth, and Mephistopheles knew that he couldn't underestimate those two teenagers.
So he threw his whip and let out a burst of rhythmic pops, and according to the code that the barren mountain thieves had arranged in advance, the remaining knights immediately divided into two lines, intending to flank the two boys.
More than forty adult thieves were so serious about dealing with two skinny and short children who looked to be only twelve or thirteen years old, and they said it like a joke.
But Mephistopheles knows that there are some people in this world who can't be measured by common sense...... Before he became a thief, he had seen such monsters in the holy city of Instan.
So after realizing that the other party is not an ordinary person, Mephistopheles will never judge people by their appearance, and must use all his strength to kill the other party in one fell swoop.
As it turned out, he was not wrong in his decision.
Both teenagers were so powerful that Mephistopheles felt that the guards of the Holy City might not be the match for them in a one-on-one confrontation, but when faced with the two-faced horseman's charge and attacks from several directions at the same time, their response began to lose their coarse and panicked, and the thieves saw the gap and slashed several times!
The boy who was able to summon strange sea creatures seemed to have a limit to the number of summoned creatures that could exist at any one time, except for the octopus feet, and it would be much easier to deal with it after figuring this out.
"Don't kill them, I'm going to arrest them and do adult puppet research!" The heads of several mages commanded.
So Mephistopheles, who originally decided to kill directly, could only hold back and continue to let the knights consume their physical strength, and see the opportunity to create more non-fatal wounds, so that they would lose a lot of blood and lose the ability to resist as soon as possible.
However, what he couldn't understand was that he had been stabbed several times, and his blood was rushing to the ground, and it was not surprising that he would die violently at any time, but the two teenagers showed no signs of fainting or weakness in their hands and feet, and they were still alive and well...... In fact, except for the initial bleeding from the wounds they were cut out, they have been in a strange state of 'obviously having wounds, but always feeling like they were painted'.
This makes Mephistopheles unable to catch the villagers who have been blocking them! Once the manpower here is reduced, maybe they will be killed by these two teenagers immediately!
Why don't you try to persuade you to surrender?
Just as Mephistopheles thought this, the bloodied cross boy suddenly ignored the two stabs on his body, rushed towards the head of the magician who had been talking, and then suddenly waved the cross in his hand: "[Empty Slash]! ”
The mage head didn't react at all, and the chocobo he was sitting on was directly knocked into the air by the cross at an extremely incredible angle, and the mage head naturally fell off the chocobo unprepared because of this.
In the next instant, the swordsman boy who was constantly blocking the knight's attacks also suddenly burst out, and directly stabbed and exploded the head of the mage!
"Damn, I'm mistaken, this guy who has been pushing is not the leader!" After the two of them took off the mage's head in a second, the cross boy looked at the barren mountain thieves around him who had not collapsed, and let out a voice of chagrin: "The boss is someone else!" ”
They actually want to directly attack and kill the commander in one go, so that the rest of the people will collapse and turn the tide of the war? No, how exactly did they communicate and develop this tactic before this? If there is no communication, how can there be such a tacit cooperation?
Mephistopheles felt a little flustered.
No, even if they turn against other mages, these two dangerous elements can't be left, and they must be killed as soon as possible!
So he waved his whip again and gave instructions.
Only this time, he seemed to be noticed by the other party - the cross boy looked at him with eyes that were glowing, almost like a wolf seeing his prey!
Mephistopheles immediately comforted himself in his heart: It doesn't matter, they are so seriously injured, they must be about to lose it, not to mention that there are many of us, forty chocobos ride in the face, you just say how to lose!
"Attack! Don't let them escape! Now that it has been discovered, there is no need to hide, Mephistopheles simply shouted loudly, boosting morale: "There are many of us, and there are only two of them!" ”
The next moment, a violent explosion sounded.
At first, Mephistopheles thought that the magicians on his side had done it, but then he realized that something was wrong, why was the sound coming from behind?
He turned his head, and then his whole body stiffened.
I don't know when, in the grove behind me, there were a few carriages of the kind that were common to merchants, but the carriages were full of people, even if they were only a rough number, fifty or sixty people.
In order to facilitate the carriage to hurry, these guys also used various abilities to destroy all the obstacles in front of them, and forced a straight path in the grove......
"I heard," the mage boy at the head jumped off the carriage and looked at Mephistopheles with a smile: "There are many of you?" ”
