Chapter 241: Between Enemies
'When' a metallic trill, piercing the ear drum. The scepter in Red's hand showed a flaw in the spark, and the narrow scimitar like snow had already taken advantage of the weakness, like a poisonous snake opening its sharp teeth and biting at his chest.
But as soon as the air thief leader showed a hint of joy on his face, he was shocked to find that the big cat man not only did not dodge or dodge, but also faced him head-on. The blade stabbed the latter's breastplate, cutting through the deck like cutting paper, and rose-colored blood flowed out, striking in the cold night.
Then a huge claw reached out and grasped the blade. The air thief leader felt bad at this time, and with a strong pull, the blade made a gurgling sound, like stuck on a bone. He looked up with a numb scalp, only to see that the big cat man didn't even twitch his face, as if he was holding a roll of scrap copper and rotten iron instead of a sharp blade.
Blood dripped down the gaps between his paws like a trickle.
The Lionman Paladin's expression was as solid as a rock, and he raised his scepter in his right hand and swung it at the empty thief leader. The latter let go of his hand and stepped back, but it was still a moment too late, and he was struck in the shoulder by a cane, and he rolled several times before he got up from the ground.
And as soon as his side fell.
As if they had received some order, the air pirates behind them unsheathed their swords and stepped forward to block in front of Red.
The big cat pressed the scepter in his hand, and his silver-gray eyes looked at these people coldly, and there was no surprise in his eyes. The Lionman Paladin even calmly took out the pipe that Baggins had given him temporarily, lit a flame, and a spark fell into the pipe in the darkness.
In the distance, several pairs of eyes hidden in the ruins were seeing this scene, and one of the fat men immediately shouted: "Okay, as I expected, these guys are really unruly!" ”
Luo Hao took a step forward, stepped on the broken wall, and waved his hand awe-inspiringly: "Since they don't follow the rules, then don't blame us for being polite-"
He turned around and said to the box and Luo Yu: "Box, Luo Yu, show them what we have prepared!" ”
Luo Yu only nodded.
And the box behind the two of them was shining brightly, obviously impatient to wait for this moment.
The boy lifted his pointed wizard hat and used his wand to lift the last of the great rock shards and move it to the shelf—not far from the three of them was a huge embankment. Countless rocks hung in midair, as if blocked by an invisible force.
In their direction, it was originally higher than the terrain below, and Luo Hao specially found a higher place and stacked these rocks together. What stands in the way of these rocks is actually only two things, the first is a thick wall of ice.
It has been maintained by Luo Yu with mana.
Then, there is a force field wall as a second line of insurance.
Now it took them nearly half an hour to prepare, and under the constant movement of the boxes, the rocks stacked behind the two walls are more than spectacular.
The Form 2 teenager even wanted to move another piece to teach those air thieves a lesson that they would never forget. However, Luo Hao hurriedly grabbed this person - the ice wall maintained by Luo Yu was already covered with cracks, and there was a sound of fragmentation from time to time.
Seeing that the first line of defense was about to collapse, and with the chest continuing to cast spells, the second force field wall was just a decoration. The fat man wiped a handful of sweat, God knows how big this man's heart is, and he can't hear the ringing behind him at all-
"Okay?" The box asked.
Luo Hao nodded, but he stepped aside first and pushed the stones standing on the side of the road with force.
The man-tall rock, after falling down under the influence of gravity, rolled all the way down the slope, and finally stopped twenty or thirty meters away from the big cat man and the air thieves. However, in the darkness, there was tension, and the other party didn't even feel a sound at this distance.
Instead, it was the big cat man, who raised his head and glanced in this direction.
Luo Hao turned around and clapped his hands—the rock he was going to use for the test hadn't rolled as far as he had imagined, but it was enough—and looked up at the 'high wall' behind him, after all, the volume of the two was not on the same level.
But before that, he reminded him: "Wait until we are in a safe place, and then you let go." ”
Luo Hao saw a sudden look on the young man's face, and he couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat.
Fortunately, I was prescient, who are some of the people in this team? He pulled Luo Yu to the side, and the box itself walked to the side, he raised his wand and was about to cast a spell. However, at this time, Luo Yu remembered a question, and turned around and asked: "If we do this, will we bury the big cat man?" ”
Luo Hao was stunned.
The fat man hurriedly shook his head: "Then how can it be, the big cat man is so powerful, don't you see it?" ”
Luo Yuhu looked at this person suspiciously.
But whether it was too late or not, it was too late, because the chest glanced down and couldn't wait to withdraw the spell in his hand - the power of the levitating boulder disappeared in an instant, and the top rock fell heavily, and then it seemed to have a chain reaction.
The boulder was layered one after another, and finally all the power was exerted on the thick ice wall. There was a click on the ice wall, revealing a long crack, which instantly expanded in all directions, as if forming a white cobweb.
The webs only lasted for a moment, and then the entire ice wall collapsed with a loud bang.
Then the torrent of rocks thundered and slammed into the second layer of the force field wall, which did not last even a second before it collapsed. The rocks that tumbled down behind them surged down with a mighty sound.
That scene was as spectacular as a man-made landslide-
When Luo Hao saw this scene, he couldn't help but pat his head.
Oh no, the box was carrying too many stones, and it was even more powerful than he had ever imagined. He avoided the gaze of the two of them for a moment, and could only pray in his heart that the big cat man was much more powerful than they imagined.
And on the other side of the battlefield.
Sylvester and his party, who also did not leave, were also observing the situation on the battlefield.
Seeing the air pirates attack, Tianlan was so angry that she almost jumped up from the ground, if it weren't for the scruples that she really didn't have much combat power, she immediately grabbed her magic piano and rushed over to fight side by side with the big cat people.
However, this scene was not as expected by Sylvid, she turned her head and looked at Tang Xin on the side. Tang Xin replied: "Mr. Gray Rock is on his way over, Ai Xiaoxiao is already familiar with it, and Mr. Baggins, no problem-"
She frowned slightly.
She didn't stay in this place for the sake of adventure, but gradually, she seemed to have gotten used to such days.
She remembered that she seemed to have forgotten to supervise Ai's homework for many days.
Sylvid looked at Shesta again, "Shesta, get ready." Mr. Red certainly doesn't want to come back, and if necessary, you can try to force your way into the fight between them. ”
The maid nodded slightly.
Then the aristocratic daughter said to the short naturalist Miss on the side, "Jita, are you ready?" You should be almost restored to your mana, right? ”
Kita's jaw.
Sylvid smiled slightly: "Then find a way to use illusion to restrain the actions of the air pirates - everything will wait for Mr. Gray Rock to arrive, and then we will launch a counterattack." Kita, it's up to you. ”
"Okay, okay." Kita replied weakly, "I see. ”
But she had just opened the thick magic book.
Suddenly, a loud bang came from above the battlefield, attracting everyone's attention.
Sylvid squinted in that direction, and a moment later, she saw a gray line appear in the darkness. The line was leaping forward, and in the blink of an eye, a torrent had formed, rushing in the direction of the big cat man and the air thief.
When the ladies saw this scene, they couldn't help but be a little dumbfounded.
Can mudslides still occur on flat ground?
Only the ship's attendant raised her eyebrows, and suddenly something came to mind.
But no matter what she thought of, it couldn't change the shocked mood in the heart of the big cat man when he raised his head and saw this scene.
As a client, of course, Red realized what was happening for the first time, but he didn't even feel like scolding, and he didn't care about any calmness and demeanor, so he just put away his pipe and stepped back in an instant.
On the other side, the air pirates, who were a little slower than him, turned around, and the tumbling rocks were basically in front of them. And although it is said to be a torrent of rocks, in fact, the rolling rocks in front of them are simply bouncing forward, and it is too late for them to turn back.
A boulder flew sideways and slammed into an air pirate, whose upper body bent down and fell to the ground, and the boulder ran over him. And many more people didn't even have time to let out a scream before they were swallowed up by the torrent of rocks.
Only the leader of the empty thieves, relying on his ability, after avoiding the flying rocks for a while, turned around and ran in the direction perpendicular to the torrent of rocks.
The big cat man was originally retreating, but when he saw this scene, a cold light flashed in his silver-gray eyes. Ignoring that he was in danger, he suddenly turned and returned to the range of the rushing rock—he leaped and landed on a tumbling rock, and then immediately turned to the other side, and after a few leaps, he came close to the other.
Then with the blade in his hand, he threw it at the opponent with all his might.
A silver light shot at the back of the empty thief leader's heart. But the other party seemed to have a long eye behind him, and at the moment before the blade was approaching, he rolled to the side forcefully, and avoided the blow by a fraction of a margin.
It's just that when he rolled, he also lost his rhythm, and several rolling rocks flew sideways in a row, so that he had to dodge left and right. And Red took this opportunity to finally rush to the other party's side, roaring like a real lion, and throwing the scepter in his hand.
With only sharp claws, he volleyed at the opponent.
The empty thief leader didn't expect that he didn't even want his life, and he would die with him, and his eyes couldn't help but show a trace of despair. In order to avoid the rolling rock, he had completely lost his balance, how could he avoid the other party's deliberate pounce.
It's just that at this time, a dazzling light flashed in the oblique and stabbed straight into the big cat man in mid-air.
The big cat man volleyed that this blow would hit him before he arrived, so he gritted his teeth, and like a real feline, he twisted in mid-air and fell out of thin air. Let that sword light fly over his head.
He landed and rolled again, avoiding several tumbling rocks in a row, and even his pipe fell out of his pocket and fell to the ground, and then he was out of danger in a state of embarrassment. Then the big cat man got up from the ground, looked up, and saw a pirate leader on the other side of the torrent, dressed in a captain's coat, pulling his enemy up from the ground.
The other glanced back in this direction, but did not take any further action. Instead, he turned around and disappeared into the darkness.
The big cat man recognized the other party, it was the dragon knight who he had seen on the battlefield not long ago, and belonged to the air pirate side.
Then Red heard a stray stream of footsteps, and he looked in that direction, only to see that it was a group of members of the Flor Descendants, rushing in this direction. After a little hesitation, he realized the reason for the other party's retreat - it seemed that on the battlefield, the winner and the loser had already been decided.
The Blood Shark Pirates have been digging here for months, but unfortunately the Fleur descendants are still skilled. Rhett, like Fang Yuan, naturally didn't believe that these Electors really came to exterminate the air pirates-
Seeing that the dawn was approaching, the sky was already white, and the torrent of rocks rolled forward for a while before finally subsided.
He is a little conspicuous in this place.
But the Lion Paladin didn't want to deal with these people, he took a step back and planned to leave the place.
It's just that at this time, the slightly pale sky suddenly brightened slightly. The sudden movement attracted the attention of everyone present, and the big cat man subconsciously looked in that direction, only to see that in the center of Idus, a purple pillar of flame was rising into the sky.
The purple flame completely dispelled the last trace of darkness before dawn, and the entire ancient city was illuminated.
Red watched the scene with some surprise.
The flames lasted for about half a minute before they gradually dissipated, and the flames that rose into the air seemed to penetrate the clouds, like a bolt of lightning, and were escaping into the distance.
And the direction of its escape, only a moment later, the eastern sky suddenly flashed a dazzling flash of light—the flash spread out in all directions like a fireflower, but the flash only lasted for a few seconds, and then turned into sparks and slowly fell from mid-air.
Before the big cat man could figure out what was happening, he heard an exclamation not far away:
"Our Floating Ships!"
"It's the White Feather!"
The big cat man looked back at those people and couldn't help but squint his eyes.
Then he bent down, picked up the pipe on the ground, wiped the dust off it, and put it back in his pocket.
……
Attila, Alyssa, and Parker tilted their heads and looked at the dissipating pillar of purple flames in the plaza for a long time. If they hadn't seen it with their own eyes, the three of them would have found it hard to believe that such a power actually came from Fang Yu, their captain.
Miss Elf looked at the two men standing in the middle of the plaza with some concern—one and a lich, to be exact.
The lich was holding his staff, and slowly bent down, and with his jagged white bone fingers, tapped the forehead of the young man who was lying there, his eyes closed.
There was not a trace of blood on Fang Yuan's face, like a cold corpse, he had been like this since he passed out a moment ago. The lich straightened up and tapped his chin with his fingers, making an empty sound, as if he was in thought.
The black-haired middle-aged man next to him turned around first and walked towards Atira and the others.
"Mr. Caratu," Alyssa asked, worried, "is our captain all right?" ”
The middle-aged man was silent for a moment before he spoke: "Fortunately, he has the power of Cangzhihui in his body, and the Shining Sea saved his life at a critical moment, if it weren't for this, his starlight would have completely dissipated." ”
He thought for a moment: "But even so, I'm afraid it won't get better, and for a long time after that, you have to cultivate well." ”
"To put it simply," another 'empty, empty' sound came, like the sound of the upper and lower jaws striking together, and the people saw that the lich had also come back: "You will have one...... Ahem, weak captain who doesn't stand through the wind. If I were you, I'd get him out of the way and find another qualified candidate—"
It nodded its chin: "But this kid, it's appropriate to be a qualified family heir, you know, most of the nobles are so weak and impassive, but they complement each other." ”
It let out a creepy laugh.
The black-haired middle-aged man looked at the latter and asked, "Does he really have anything to do with your Rogersl family?" ”
"Not really," replied the lich 'empty', "but I appreciate what he said—I am the heir of the Rogersel family, much better than the others I have ever met, and though they have been buried all these years, I am a lonely fellow alive." ”
Attila listened to the two of them gossiping without saying a word, and finally couldn't help but ask, "You two, what was that purple flame before?" ”
Karatu then stopped, turned his head, looked at her, and replied earnestly, "That's the power of Livegard—"
"What?" Parker was taken aback: "Hasn't that guy been re-sealed back?" ”
"After all, the seal has been loosened," Karatu replied, "so it is normal for a part of Lifgard's power to escape. And your friend, having absorbed the power of the Dragonheart, is not surprising that Livinggard has found him. ”
"But it's okay, he has the Helin Crown sigil on him."
He paused, and then said, "Also, I have important things to tell you about your friends. ”
Attila spoke, "Please." ”
"As Miss Eve said, the age of the Dark Dragon has come to an end, and it was a legacy of the War of the Giants, but the verdant is gone, and these past events should have come to an end long ago. And after the Noumerin elves left, they left behind a few holy relics—"
"One of them, related to your friends."
