1540 Swing
The shouts of killing covered the center of the Barrow River in an instant, and the two sides of the original confrontation also collided together in an instant as the shouts of killing approached, and the final duel ceremony jointly initiated by Surtu and Shitu also evolved into a group brawl with the development of the upheaval, splashing the frenzied atmosphere and pungent blood of the respective clansmen on both sides over the riverside. The man named Surtu who was covering one of them kept retreating, and the group of adventurers composed of Duan Qing's team finally retreated to the edge of the river with some of the members of the Nasu tribe, and the endless wind also covered everyone's heads again with the sight of everyone rushing back to the riverbank, slowing down their original intention to leave this place quickly: "-Damn! Didn't we come with a headwind? Why is it still a headwind? β
"Maybe the sky doesn't see that we're not miserable enough, although there's no point in studying this now...... Be careful! β
"They have so many archers? And how could these arrows cover such a long distance, and not even be affected by any strong winds? β
"No, most bows and arrows can't pose a threat to us, the only ones that canβ"
Clang!
There was another heavy muffled sound of metal and heavy objects colliding with each other, and the voice belonging to the snow spirit phantom ice also bounced away in a certain direction behind him with a black arrow: "Probably only this bow and arrow they specially prepared for Surtu." β
"These black arrows are made from fragments of the Wind Stone, and the power hidden in them also ensures that they are not affected by any wind."
Surrounded in the center of the battlefield, Surtu, who had been escorted to the present place by everyone since the beginning of the war, finally spoke his voice: "In other words, they prepared such a person from the beginning, and planned to assassinate me in this way. β
"Maybe they've got all sorts of other big meals for you, but it's just this one side dish that comes to you." With a wave of his hand, he released a large amount of magical ice mist that was difficult to be blown away, and Duan Qing, who was guarding the side, replied in a low voice, "Now that the plan has been revealed, they have missed the opportunity for us to taste it, so-"
"Let's just concentrate on retreating." Throwing aside the arrows scattered around him, Gedmayne replied in a low voice, "As long as they can successfully retreat into the Nasu settlement, their plans will be shattered on their own." β
"But the question is, will this fight go well?" Running against the strong wind, the sound of the rising sun also sounded in everyone's ears: "There are so many Sioux brothers left by the river, do we want to leave them all behind?" β
"Don't look back, it's not our turn to sympathize now."
The continuous shouts of killing and the screams before death still came from the ears, and in an instant, all the retreating teams were covered in it, and the Nasoux camp that contracted because of the retreat finally showed signs of collapse with the approach of the Nashi side's attack, and the chaotic voices that were originally hovering under the grassy slope gradually approached Duan Qing and the others: "If we don't think of a way to get rid of these enemies, we may also fall into the quagmire and lose the chance to escape forever." β
"For the glory of the tribe! We should fight these damned Nash people to the death first! Before Sultu could make his decision, a cry from behind the crowd appeared on the edge of the wind with the roars of more and more Sioux warriors: "Don't show your back to them anymore!" It is not our turn to do such a shameful act of our glorious Nasousse! We should take them out and triumph with victory! β
"You people...... "Looking at the backs of the warriors of those tribes who were still protecting behind them and turned to kill the enemy without hesitation, Surtu's eyes seemed to have a crystal light flashing: "You ...... That's right! After killing them all, we can retreat unharmed! β
"Well, excluding the factor of mental arithmetic and unintentional, the combat strength of the enemy and us should be about the same." Looking back at the direction of the faint shouting behind him a little helplessly, Duan Qing, who also stopped, said in a low voice: "But it's not easy to open up such a distance and win the opportunity to retreat, if you choose to start the war again at this time-"
Sou!
The sound of arrows breaking through the air then broke the gray-robed magician's worried vision, and at the same time, it also showed the posture of several Nasu clan warriors bending their bows and arrows, and the wind that re-adapted to the north because of the return to the enemy then became a powerful help for these arrows, instantly knocking over the bodies of several Nashi soldiers who rushed up the grassy slope: "Don't underestimate our archery skills, adventurer! β
"The Sioux have never been afraid of a challenge! Not afraid of the threat of these despicable Nash tribes! Another Nasu warrior who rushed forward burst out with an even more powerful roar, and the saber in his hand also collided with the black tide in front of him in an instant: "I didn't go on the field to fight with them just now, now it's time for us to have a good fight!" β
"So how many times do you have to suffer losses before you can recognize the reality?" Looking at the figures of the two Nashi warriors who were tall and short in the first two ceremonial duels, and who were also killing all sides at this time, Duan Qing sighed helplessly: "The most evasive thing on the battlefield is hesitation and vacillation, and you want to fight and run...... In the end, you may not get both. β
"Don't talk nonsense like that! Let's get rid of these annoying flies in front of you! Dancing his sword and shield to fend off the closest enemy to the team, Xue Ling's phantom voice said coldly: "They still have a few strong people in charge!" β
"If we sit back and wait, our side will definitely lose!"
A scuffle that was fiercer than the wind then resumed in the clearing above the grassy slope at the edge of the river, accompanied by a new burst of shouts from both warring sides, and the barrage of arrows and energy then echoed the melee at the edge of the river, and the smell of blood spread to the farther and farther afield. Trying to control his defensive posture and block most of the attacks in front of him with the black iron shield in his hand, Gedmayne then raised his head with difficulty, and then a moment of clear shadow appeared between the sword lights and sword shadows that kept flashing in front of him, suddenly waking up his originally numb head: "Attention! The one over there! β
"Is that guyβ" Following the reminder of the big shield warrior and looking into the distance of the chaotic battlefield, Duan Qing, who was also trying to cast a spell to resist the enemy's attack, then squinted his eyes and sank his own voice: "Old man, black robe...... Well, it doesn't look like a normal clan member. β
"Isn't he a member of the Destiny Alliance?" Several successive blade slashes slashed through the surrounding battlefields, and the Xue Ling Phantom Ice's gaze, which retreated to Duan Qing's side, gradually became cold: "They really got involved in this inter-clan conflict?" Is it also the mastermind behind the secret control of the Nashi tribe? β
"It's just that I've found a suspicious person, so don't jump to conclusions." Wielding a large knife that he picked up out of nowhere, the one-armed Asahi Dongsheng also let out a strange cry at this time: "And that guy has been staying in the back row of the enemy and has not moved, and it seems that he has no intention of attacking us...... Belch. β
Suddenly closing his mouth, the player, who had not finished speaking, then stared in the direction of the old man in the distance, and the old man who was like a rock that they noticed then raised his hand very slowly, as if to indicate something, and swung forward: "-Be careful! β
Clang!
The piercing sound of metal collision then also appeared in the chaotic center of the battlefield ahead, and in the direction of the old man's signaling hand, what appeared in this impact sound was also the scene of a sneak attacker who appeared behind Surtu at some unknown time being suddenly picked up by Mengzhu's dagger, and the first warrior of the Nasu tribe, who was fighting with the swords of several enemies, also seemed to have just noticed what was happening behind him at this time, and looked at the face of the sneak attacker who was blocked by Mengzhu with an incredulous gaze: "Babu? How are you-"
"Abominable adventurer!" The pace of wanting to step forward again to sneak attack was stopped by more vigilant tribal soldiers, and the Nassu soldier who waved the weapon in his hand and retreated to farther away also let out a maniacal laugh at this time: "And you guys who still don't know the height of the sky...... Give it up! You don't know that disaster is coming! β
"What nonsense are you talking about?" Forced to escape by several attacks from the enemy in front of him, Surtu, who barely turned back, shouted in shock and anger: "Difficult, have you betrayed the clan? β
"The tribe whose strength is not as good as before, and who only knows how to escape all day long, even if it is betrayed, what if it is betrayed?" Jumping back with a shout, Babu's blood-stained appearance jumped up and down at this time: "Punish me for such a trivial thing as stealing, and make me only a little guard, and at last you value these adventurers so much, and these so-called 'messengers' who are in fact useless strangers!" β
"You are destined to be spurned by the heavens!" He waved his hand heavily in the direction of Duan Qing, whose face was full of black lines, and his voice was as powerful as a long-suppressed beast: "Even if you struggle now, you won't live long!" β
"Could it be that all the news you passed on earlier was fake?" Sultu, who glared at his eyes and drove the enemy in front of him into the distance, questioned loudly: "Are you deliberately disturbing our fighting spirit? Forcing us to abandon the ritual of the duel, and then be besieged like this? β
"Ha, even now, I'm still so arrogant!" The smile on his face became more and more distorted, and Babu roared and pointed behind him: "Poor Surtu, what are you still fantasizing? β
"Then the Sioux are finished!"
As if to make a declaration, the warrior who had betrayed the Nasu and wanted to take advantage of the chaos to attack Surtu let out a hoarse shout, and the sound that seemed to resound through the heavens and the earth then stopped the melee around the grassy slope for a moment, and at the same time there were countless hesitant voices among the warriors who sounded among themselves: "What, what? β
"Is it true?"
"If it is Babu who deceives us, then we are giving up the victory of the duel ceremony ourselves - wait, wait! This is also a conspiracy of the Nash tribe! Everything is caused by them! β
"But if they do attack our clan......"
"What he said was true."
Still didn't stop his fighting movements, and the voice belonging to Duan Qing also suddenly sounded next to everyone's hesitant and surprised faces: "Don't ask me how I know, but we did get the news." β
"So we'd better get out of this battle as soon as possible until we're all wiped out." Xue Ling, who was also trying to clear the offensive threat, continued calmly, "We must hurry back. β
"While it may be too late, it's almost a waste of time to continue fighting here." A pair of sharp eyes appeared above the dagger in the corner, and the words belonging to Mengzhu also sounded in a low voice in Surtu's ears: "If they had calculated everything from the beginning, we would have no chance of victory in the end if we were unprepared, let alone these enemies in front of them, they don't know how many means they have prepared to deal with us to keep us all here." β
"I don't know how much trust you still have in us after all that's happened." A thick magical light began to condense in his hands, and Duan Qing, who began to charge up and cast spells under the cover of Gedmayne's shield, concluded in a low voice, "But this time, please believe us again." β
"Retreat."
His gaze and Su Ertu intersected in the air, and Duan Qing, who had sunk his face, suddenly lifted his left hand, which was still intact, and the pillars of flame light that were erected were then displayed in front of him in turn in the burst of magic energy gathered in his hand, and a piercing cracking sound sounded along the arc formation surrounded by the Su clan: "Continuous spell casting!" Pillar of Flame! β
"Keep covering!" Waving his hand heavily to the several Nasu warriors who were still a little sluggish beside him, Xue Lingphantom Ice issued an order instead: "Keep the fire suppressed!" Let the people on the front line pull down first! β
"I've also refined a few bottles of fire potions that can keep these walls of fire alive for a while." Amidst the different shouts from both sides of the battlefield that were divided, Duan Qing, who was out of breath, then signaled to Gedmayne beside him: "The time can only last for about ten seconds, but with the help of the wind, these times should be enough." β
"Let's go."
He gritted his teeth and whispered to Surtu, who was still standing in place.
