Chapter Twenty-Seven: The Player Arrives!
At this critical moment, a strange noise suddenly came from the other direction.
Angela subconsciously looked in that direction, only to find that not far from the town, a strange convoy appeared at some point.
Although it looked like an ordinary caravan, the convoy was rampaging through the skeletons and soon approached this side.
It was only then that Angela noticed that the members of the caravan had white names floating on their heads like his own.
Absolutely, they're what the system says they are!
Suddenly, Angra's hanging heart finally let go, and while his heart said, 'The system does not deceive me', he shouted happily: "Our reinforcements are coming, everyone work harder and hold on to the end!" β
But then he noticed that the townspeople had not only not relaxed, but had even tightened the expressions of despair on their faces.
"Your Excellency, the reinforcements you are talking about...... Are these people the only ones? Vera couldn't help but ask.
When she asked this, Angela was also stunned for a moment.
yes, those players look like they're only about twenty people, and do they really have a chance of winning against an army of skeletons with more than eight hundred and a high-ranking species like Skeleton Knight?
Angra hadn't thought about this before, just waiting for the players' rescue, but now looking at the opponent's chaotic formation, he couldn't let him not doubt the players' combat effectiveness...... After all, as a player, he is just a scumbag himself......
What made him even more strange was the attitude of the player believers towards the army of skeletons around them.
Not fear, not contempt, but more incomprehensible, as if seeing a gold coin that moves.
"There are so many monsters here! Cool! β
"The monsters in the forest have all walked around us, and now there's finally a monster that can let me try out new skills."
"Hurry up, hurry up!"
"Experience points! That's a lot of experience! β
"The big guy on the horse must be the boss, I don't know if there will be something good."
"That horse is cool, I don't know if I can grab it and ride it......"
"After defeating these monsters, can I complete the 'Rescue Newbie Village' mission?"
"Hahaha, so many monsters, I, Mani, is finally expected to be promoted to the third level!"
"[Frost Bomb]!"
"Don't rob the monster, heyββ!" β
That being said, when the player's team of Believers crashes into the army of skeletons, what happens is completely beyond Angela's imagination.
The skeletons were harvested almost one-sidedly by the reinforcements.
It's not that the players are so strong that they are not afraid of skeletons at all, after all, some high-ranking skeletons can still cause considerable damage to the player's followers.
For example, the player believer who used to call himself Mane, dressed as a merchant, fell to the ground and died after playing a battlefield sword technique and killing three skeleton warriors head-on.
But none of the players flinched, but fought more bravely.
It was as if they didn't feel pain, and flesh and bone scraps flew all over the air from the fierce battle.
Looking at this bloody and magnificent scene, Angra, who was hiding behind the wooden box, also felt his blood boiling, he held high his long sword, which was already full of gaps and curly blades, and shouted: "Our friendly forces are fighting bloodily, not fighting now, but when!" β
The other townsfolk were also obviously shocked by the appearance of the players, the appearance of bloody battles and the falling skeletons could not be faked (because the scene was too chaotic, so they did not notice that the fallen skeletons had disappeared), and they were completely moved by the way the 'reinforcements' fought to save themselves, so they responded to Angela's call, raised their weapons together, rushed out of the shelter, and began to fight back against the skeletons around them.
The skeletons, who were originally attracted by the commotion of the players in the distance, were caught off guard, and were immediately cut down by the townspeople!
Seeing that the townsfolk cheered up and spontaneously began to attack the skeleton army, intending to match their appearance, the players let out a moving cry about this:
"Grass mud horse, don't fight, that's Lao Tzu's experience!"
"It's useless for you to fight! Leave them alone, and maybe give me something to break out! β
", we're here to save you, but you're robbing us?! Didn't do that! β
"Mane is dead again, it's so inhuman!"
I couldn't understand what they were saying, but seeing how excited they were, I guess I was praising my own orders at the spur of the moment. Angela thought to herself.
The number of skeletons that were defeated by the two sides together became more and more, but unfortunately because there were not enough people on either side, the battle situation became a little anxious for a while.
Vera dodged the Skeleton Warrior's sword with a light and nimble movement, and then used the hilt of her sword as a blunt weapon to hit the Skeleton Warrior's exposed spine, and in an instant, the Skeleton Warrior's spine was hammered out of place, and then the chain reaction caused its body to fall completely apart.
The girl's battle process was smooth and smooth, and she killed the skeleton warrior in the blink of an eye, and the whole process took no more than three seconds.
Her dance-like skillful and graceful posture made Angela stunned for a moment.
"Vera, are you so strong......"
"Didn't I tell you, my lord," Vera took advantage of the gap to catch her breath and smiled like a little fox stealing chickens, "I'm the best hunter in town. β
Angela couldn't help but be glad that she hadn't made any rude gestures after getting to know each other, which was great.
"If this continues, the casualties of the townspeople will increase!" Vera slashed a few more skeletons before shouting at Angela.
"If you want to break the skeleton apart, you must first defeat the skeleton leader, the skeleton knight," Angela tried to guess, "You see the reinforcements are also desperately trying to get closer to the skeleton knight!" β
Vera took the time to look in the direction of the reinforcements, and found that the team that looked chaotic did indeed seem to have abandoned all defenses, and was completely revitalized by the healing magic of the two cleric girls who were protected in the center, and forced their way out of the bloody path towards the skeleton knight!
"Vera, we're going to help, too!"
"Yes, my lord!"
Under the cover of the townspeople, Vera led Angela to kill the Skeleton Knight from the other direction.
Finally, both teams were killed in front of the Skeleton Knight, although Angela was a little curious about why the expressions on the faces of the players on the opposite side were as smelly as eating, but at this moment, he was carried away by the enthusiasm, and he didn't think much about it, but together with Vera, he launched an attack on the Skeleton Knight with the other players!
"Even if there is no blue, it won't let you grab the boss!" The young man on the other side, who was slightly smaller than him, with Edward's white characters floating on his head, put the wooden stick in his hand back into his waist, and then pulled out the long sword next to him.
"My fiefdom, I'll protect it!" Angra reminisced about the knightly novels he had read before, and he was excited to join the player believers on the opposite side to defeat the undead leaders who had invaded the territory.
Just as the weapons of the two men were about to touch the skeleton knight, Vera suddenly found that the silver-haired and two-ponytailed little girl who had been using the healing magic technique since the beginning of the reinforcements was protected in the center suddenly raised the rudimentary wand in her hand.
"[Spear of Victory]."
In the next moment, a spear of light, which seemed to be condensed by the aurora and covered with a dazzling golden veil, pierced through the void of more than 500 meters, and directly pinned the skeleton knight who was holding a mounted spear high and intended to fight Edward Angela to the ground......
