Chapter 308: Engagement and Siege

My name is Akatosh,

Hey? The Elder Scrolls still has a hanging function?

β€”4E, 201, Moon of Fire, 23rd, 20:01 -

Black Fall, Zacta.

Arthur was looking at the dagger in his hand in confusion.

Catching a projectile weapon is different from entering the white blade empty-handed, the latter is tantamount to seeking death when the combat power of both sides is about the same, and can only be used against opponents weaker than oneself, while the projectile weapon will continue to decay and eventually approach nothing after leaving the attacker's control, and even a child can easily catch it.

But this dagger was different, it had just shot, and even after a rebound, it was still equivalent to a blow of nearly ninety percent of Mercer's strength, but it was accurately caught by itself, and the power and speed attached to it seemed that it did not exist in the first place.

Arthur raised his eyes slightly, and saw that among his "constellations", the "two-handed weapons" had already lit up the ninth star, while the others that had grown were the "heavy armor" and "block" that had lit up the sixth star.

Perhaps due to the presence of the two-handed weapon "Super Undead" Jewel, Arthur easily understood the new trait, with the new trait "Piercing Attack Damage Greatly Reduced" in "Heavy Armor", and the trait in "Block" appearing as "Ignoring attacks below a certain amount of damage when successfully blocking or parrying." ”

Very well, spears or daggers are still up for debate, but at least the arrows can be ignored, those things that are eaten in "dreams", like egg rolls, still have this effect, Arthur stood up, patted Sophie and motioned for her to lean back, and then stretched out his palm upwards towards the middle-aged man in black armor who appeared in the room inexplicably, and then hooked.

Again.

Originally, he couldn't kidnap or kill the demon god's "pet", Mercer had already planned to retreat, but at this moment, it seemed that Arthur's actions were aroused a little anger, so he handed the dagger to his left hand, and his right hand slowly drew the ice-blue elven sword at his waist.

For the weapon enhancement technology of Skyrim Province, it is roughly divided into three grades, the most common is to use a grinding stone or tool table to sharpen the weapon and thicken the armor, and the slightly more high-end is to ask the enchanter to add various magical functions to the weapon that cannot be achieved by those means before, and the most high-end, the enchantment itself is more valuable than the weapon, so after the enchantment, it will be renamed with its enchantment effect, such as Mercer's "Cold Crack".

Artifacts such as the Witch Slade, the Daybreaker, and the Nightingale's Sword, quasi-artifacts, and demonic artifacts are not within the scope of discussion.

"Zha!" Mercer Frey let out a low cry, daggers in front and swords in front of Arthur, and a blast of frost whistled before he could move.

No...... How can it be so slow?

Arthur's expression looked more and more strange, and he deftly shifted half a step to the side, just to avoid the frost, and at the same time did not draw his sword, and met Mercer with his bare hands.

Although Mercer was a little surprised by this, he would not take the initiative to give up his advantage, and the attack was more swift.

Ding Ding –

A series of rapid metal strikes were heard, it was not Mercer's attack, Arthur's blocking and parrying, but Arthur's initiative to counter the dagger and the cold crack, and before they could complete the attack, he would not hesitate to step forward and pursue.

After a moment of fierce fighting, Mercer found nothing but a few frosts on Arthur's armor, Arthur attacked with both hands at first, and now completely suppressed Mercer's dual-weapon offensive with just one hand, and the most annoying thing was that he also showed a "bored" expression.

"You-" Annoyed, Mercer suddenly activated the enchantment of "Chill Crack", completely ignoring the fact that he himself was also in the sphere of influence, and if nothing else, the two of them would turn into ice sculptures at the same time.

Boom!

Arthur instantly picked up the "Sword of Oath and Victory" and swung it directly, directly pumping Mercer and the ice magic that was about to erupt, only to see him fall far away into a place similar to a utility room, and the sudden cold air completely froze the entrance to the room along with the metal door.

Well...... Arthur looked at his hand, there was a small piece of frost remaining, not that the other party's movements were too slow, but that his own thinking, or soul, was greatly strengthened, and he could act very efficiently, but the upper limit was still limited to the physical fitness at the moment.

After a moment of silence in the room, the ice lifted, but Mercer did not come out of the room, and Barbas, who was watching the play, suddenly laughed: "Hahahaha! He ran away! ”

"You're still laughing?" Arthur turned to stare at the earth dog: "It must be that you used some strange trading conditions to trick him before, right?" ”

"That's none of my business, Wang!" "Why do they think the Demon God will complete the terms of the deal the way they envisioned?" If you need to limit it, you can put it forward directly, and at that time, it looked like 'you look at it', and then came back to Xingshi to ask for guilt. ”

"Go on." Arthur put away his golden two-handed sword.

"Wang! Specifically," the earth dog raised his paw and pointed at the thawing metal door, "The father is an elf, the mother is a human, and his mother has offered to live longer than her husband, but she can't touch her husband's lifespan, maybe she thinks this will prolong her life, but Will's approach is to freeze the lady and release her husband when he is old enough to die." ”

This practice of maliciously granting wishes seems somewhat familiar......

"What if she offered to extend her life until she was equal to her husband?" Arthur continued.

"First of all, she can't afford to pay the price, not to mention that that level of life extension will attract Wang to 'Akai', who is in charge of death," Babas replied: "The easy solution is to share her life with her husband, but she doesn't want to, it's just troublesome." ”

"If so, sheβ€”" Arthur was about to say something, when his face suddenly changed, and he rushed over to pick up Sophie, and with the help of a tumbling dodge to the corner of the room.

In the next second, the walls of the dwarven bedroom twisted and melted like butter from fire, and the dark breath swept through the room, and then explosions and flames began to appear, although the process was electrifying but extremely slow to Arthur, and he could even see Barbas crawling out of the breath route.

"[Choking]" A huge dragon roar sounded, following the "vertical split" of the up and down breath, there was another left and right "flat chop", although Zacta had not begun to collapse due to its compact structure, but the mechanical alarm sound and vibration kept coming from inside, Arthur immediately jumped out of the gap caused by the dragon's breath with Sophie.

As for the dragon that caused all this...... Arthur took the time to look up as he tumbled to the ground, and sure enough, it was the tattered ghost dragon Duneville.

Floating beside the dragon was a shriveled vampire lord - no doubt the same hapless vampire who had been set ablaze in the rush to see the Elder Scrolls, this time for revenge, and by the way summoned the ghost dragon that had just deepened the knot.

Thankfully, Jane Lasse is not there, and Arthur doesn't need to think too much about it now, and it's just the right time to try to see how the current soul strength controls the dragon's body.

"Hey! Stupid big bat-"

Hearn was directing the ghost dragon to breathe up and down Zacta as if intending to destroy it completely, when he suddenly heard a call, and when he turned his head to look, he saw a large claw, which was then fanned directly to the ground like a fly.

He struggled to get up, but a smaller paw pushed him down again.

In mid-air, Duneville, who was originally complacent, was being beaten by the red dragon incarnated by Arthur, and his already tattered body became even more ugly, and on the ground, there was no resistance at all in the face of Sophie, or Sophie Laniel, who was not huge.

"I've always wanted to say this and try it," Babas said with a rabbit on his head: "Wang! Disastrous! ”

β€”β€”20:26β€”β€”

Darkness, Twilight.

"Enemy attackβ€”"

Due to the slow movement of the dwarven machinery, they were unable to avoid detection during their nearly two-day trek, so Twilight had been preparing for their arrival for a long time, such as now, the scouts detected and sounded the alarm when they were still far from the city.

The combat-ready "Snow Elf Adjusters", the controlled adventurers, and a large number of ordinary Snow Elf scouts and warriors all flocked in the direction where the dwarven mechanical army was coming, while the archbishop and the mage did not show up, perhaps they felt that such a small scene was not necessary to be commanded on the spot.

"Enemy enemy, enemy enemy, enemy is coming!" Compared to the strict battle in the direction of the mechanical army, the wall in the opposite direction had no decent defense at all, and the only guard at the gate did not scream in panic until those mutant snow elves wearing dwarven heavy armor climbed up the wall and appeared in front of them, and then were directly knocked unconscious by a punch.

"Gaha-" Oride let out a sound similar to a mockery, flipped the switch next to him and opened the door.

"It's better than expected, and most of the defenses are going to deal with the dwarven machines." Paladin Galeb walked in through the door with a group of adventurers.

From the outside, the Twilight Zone is a clean, tidy, well-planned city of light that spreads outward with the cathedral as the center, but even if you don't look for it, the entrances that can be found everywhere and lead to the underground of the city prove that this is anything but simple.

"I remember where they kept the new adventurers and the disobedient snow elves," Jane Russet said as she seemed a little uncomfortable about returning to the city, but still restrained her fear, "I can take you to get them out." ”

"Let's split up," Qaleb said after a moment's thought, "I'm going to attack the cathedral directly with the hoplites, even if they find out that the army is feintifying, they won't dare to bring back too many people, these people should be attracted by us and not go underground to investigate, then you will only have the remaining guards to deal with." ”

"Okay." Ella nodded.

Although it seems that there are too many people to operate underground, if the "archbishop" finds out that this is not a unilateral attack by the "paladin", things may become very troublesome.

Moreover, the snow elves on the surface who are called "adjusters" are all Gelleb's compatriots, and their behavior of wanting them to return to their pre-mutation form cannot be questioned by outsiders, and only the "paladin" has the right to rebuke and stop them.

"Well, let's go, then." Ladia opened a door to the underground, and stepped inside, followed by Ella and Jane Rasset, while Septin implied a look in Zacta's direction, thinking for a moment with a puzzled face, before entering the tunnel.
