Chapter 113: The Battle Beyond the Tower
In the halls of the Summer Tower, Léa and Donde suddenly stopped after a brief conversation. Or rather not to stop, but the two of them looked in the direction of the gate, where the high-arched gate was tightly closed and there was nothing unusual about it. At this time, the lich Don took the initiative to speak, "Lady Leia-"
"That's what you're talking ......?" Leia's voice was still crisp, with a bit of Paparlar's childishness, but as the head of the Knights of the Word, it was just as irresistibly majestic.
"Ill-intentioned people," Tang De helped her add the following words, and nodded: "These guys are really fast, I'm afraid they are chasing me all the way from Dulun to here." ”
"Chasing you?"
"Hah, that's a long story."
It's just that the fire flashed in Tang De's black hole, and he pulled out a chair and got up and saluted Leia: "Lady Leia, if we fight side by side, these are actually also-"
But before he could finish his sentence, there was a loud 'bang', and the great shield in the hand of the Grand Knight Master was already plunged into the ground, and she drew her sword from behind the shield with one hand, and looked solemnly in the direction behind the door, where the messenger and the young alchemist had stopped at the foot of the steps outside the Summer Tower.
An army of undead also stopped behind the two of them, untold skeletons, ghosts, and wolves.
The former was looking up at the building, which had a bit of a sense of age. But beside him, the young man looked at a black knight in the midst of the firmament—the latter was like an armored statue, standing motionless with a sword in both hands—and the young alchemist stepped back and said cautiously, "Mr. Courier, that, that lich is also in this place. ”
The messenger glanced back at him with a hint of contempt: "Scared? ”
"Not really, it's just ......," the young man said, glancing around with trepidation. At the outermost periphery, the skeletons were already in a commotion, and they seemed to be crooked and trying to step forward.
But the Courier raised the staff of the dead in his hand—it was much more ornate than the one lost in the Battle of Fort Erimu, and a bony claw on the head of the staff clutched a black crystal—and the undead immediately fell silent.
He sneered: "Sir Donde, we've been chasing you for so long, you don't think you can't even prevent this little trick of yours, do you?" ”
"Staff of Shadows," the Lich Donde's voice came from within the tower, "it looks like you four-legged snake worshippers have slew something from the King's Tomb......"
The messenger's face turned cold: "Tang De, do you think everything will be fine if you hide in this place?" Hand over the boy in your hand along with the Dragon Slayer Sword, and I can spare your life in the face of Lord Nicol Bolas. ”
"Spare my life?" Tang Deji laughed twice, and he didn't explain the other party's misunderstanding. It's just that as soon as its laughter fell, the gate of the Summer End Tower suddenly rumbled and cracked, and slowly opened to both sides.
But at the top of the stairs, the first thing that appeared was not the figure of the lich Donde, but a short little lady and the big shield in her hand.
Leia stood motionless, standing inside the gate, looking condescendingly at the sea of the undead outside, but without fear.
The messenger recognized it as the Chosen One, for the Paparrals were not keen on knighthood. However, it was also expected that these Chosen One or Two would be left in this place, and knowing that a battle was inevitable, he did not talk nonsense, so he lowered the 'Staff of Shadows' in his hand and propped it heavily on the ground.
Beside the two of them, the army of the undead rushed forward as if they had received an order.
And crossed over to two.
At the forefront was the crooked army of skeletons, but they had just passed through the courtyard, and the black knight's armor standing in the courtyard flashed red, as if suddenly revived, raised its head, held the sword with both hands, and swung the sword forward.
I saw a pitch-black half-moon-shaped light sweep through the sea of skeletons, and the bone frame in front of me was all missing.
The messenger was not heartbroken when he saw this, but urged the army of the undead to move on—
The army of ghosts of the green passed through the skeletons and came from behind, and the black knights, who were mainly physically attacked, had no choice but to let them scream past him—if they were living beings, they would have died the moment the ghosts passed through.
However, both sides are undead, and they can only be related to each other.
And at this time, Tang De's figure finally appeared in another direction.
I saw it fall to the ground like a cloud of black smoke, and immediately formed a skeleton - the lich did not need to use the staff of necromancy, but only pointed on the ground with his hand, and a three-headed giant dog that was many times larger than the ghosts controlled by the messenger jumped out of the ground.
It is also dark green and transparent, and it is also in the form of a spirit body, and the three giant heads swallowed the ghost that was rushing to its side, and those screaming banshees disappeared in an instant.
But when the two sides were fighting, in the shadow of the ruins, more than a dozen ghost wolves were walking along the edge of the broken wall, and their target was not the Lich Tang De, who was directing the battle of the three-headed giant mastiff, but went straight to the gate of the Summer Tower.
Ghost wolves are good at stealth, and they are creatures of the Shadow Nation - some legend has it that they are the King of Hounds under the Shadow Throne, the heir of Arches, and although they are unremarkable in appearance, they are actually quite high-level undead creatures.
Their individual strength is between level 35 and level 40, and what is even more frightening is that they are often good at group hunting tactics.
While these 'hounds' of the Shadow Nation quietly infiltrated the battlefield, Tang De was actually trying to find their traces - ghost wolves are undead creatures, but they are also shadow creatures - they cannot be summoned by normal necromancy, not even Tang De himself.
As a result, although it can sense undead creatures, it is somewhat unwieldy against these uninvited guests from the Shadow Country.
And the Staff of Shadows in the Courier's hand has been interfering with its grip on the dark Forces.
The messenger watched this scene from afar and couldn't help but sneer. He looked at the shadow and was thinking about the direction of the Summer Tower, but the two people above didn't notice anything, and then suddenly he raised the staff of shadow in his hand and pointed in that direction.
The shadow suddenly turned into seven or eight sturdy black giant wolves, with the white phosphorus fire in their eyes, and jumped up and swooped towards the female knight leader on the steps.
But the next moment, the messenger's face turned gloomy.
In his somewhat surprised gaze, the Paparal lady turned as if she had expected it, and raised the blade of her sword in her hand.
I saw a cross sword light blooming between the seven or eight ghost wolves, and where the sword blade passed, it was all like a broken bamboo, and the golden light blade seemed to tear open a pitch-black shadow, making the ghost wolves fly back upside down one after another, and fell to the ground in pieces.
Then Leia turned around again and stood up with the big shield in her hand, so that the ghost wolf that pounced on her behind him hit her big shield without any difference. And these undead creatures from the Shadow Nation opened their huge mouths and bit down on the shield, but a circle of golden light suddenly bounced off the giant shield in the female knight leader's hand.
All the ghost wolves stained with this golden light all exploded backwards from their heads, and finally turned into a rain of light.
Shield reverse.
Among the Iron Guards, all the top recruiters are well versed in this move, and Leia has never taken the initiative to use this trick when she was training with Fang Yuan.
Because this is one of the killer weapons of the Iron Guard, and it is almost impossible to prevent, even if she teaches Fang Yuan, she can't come up with any way to deal with it with Fang Yuan's level. However, for the Combat Craftsman, the threat of shield reversal is not that great.
Just like she can only kill these ghost wolves at the moment, but she can't pose a threat to the necromancer itself.
But that's enough.
"Watch out for the back," Tang De also reminded, "Ms. Leia." ”
A ghost of a fish that slipped through the net was coming out of the wall and swooping down on her.
But in fact, Leia didn't need it to be reminded, the little female knight leader seemed to have eyes behind her, and backhanded a sword - before the blade arrived, a golden rain swayed out of her sword, but as long as there was a trace of brilliance, the ghost and the undead near it also vaporized into ashes in an instant.
"Dragon Knight Domain."
The Messenger was a little tricky, the Chosen One was much more powerful than he had ever imagined.
It was a dragon knight.
And it's also the kind of dragon knight that is the most headache for the summoning system - the dragon knight of the protection system.
The summoning system, including the undead system, is mostly good at fighting more and less, but in terms of quantity, just like the construction lord of the battle craftsman, the quality is not necessarily high. Low-quality creatures tend to be a little too weak when it comes to protective professions.
This is especially true for a full-time protector like Leia, who has come all the way from the Iron Guard. The undead creature in the courier's hand is not actually unable to get close to the opponent, but only attacks the opponent once, and the opponent is harmless, and his own undead are wiped out because of the backlash.
If Fang Yu was here, he would probably laugh out loud when he saw this scene. Of course, he wouldn't tell the two of them - because the female Knight Captain not only represents the pinnacle of the domestic protection position, but also the one who carries forward the anti-injury stream.
Isn't it a waste of fame to stick to the knights?
And in this genre, Leia is one of the few who is prepared for both offense and defense.
"Ms. Leia," Tang De obviously also saw that the female knight was at ease, so he spoke: "The Staff of Shadows can summon a steady stream of undead in the Shadow Realm, and there is no way to go on like this, I will hold back the opponent's attack, and you will find a way to deal with the opponent's necromancer." ”
Leia didn't say anything when she heard this, but only answered with actions. She suddenly retracted her sword and sheathed it into the shield, then raised her head and pushed the shield in her hand in front of her.
When the young alchemist saw this scene, his face changed: "Be careful, that's ——! ”
Of course, the Courier knew what this trick was, but his expression changed only slightly, and he turned his head back.
"Petrified Shield."
A dazzling light radiated from the shield in Rya's hand, and everything that was illuminated by this light, whether spirit or non-spirit, friend or foe, was petrified. And Leia didn't stop for a moment, and then raised the big shield with both hands and put it heavily in front of him.
"Revenge."
一声巨响传来,只见以女骑士团长为中心——或者以她手中巨盾为中心,仿若虚空之伸出一只巨拳,正一拳击中地面——台阶与地面纷纷沉降下去,而一道冲击波向四面八方横扫开来。
At that moment, it was as if all the damage she had absorbed before was unleashed under this blow, and the undead were wiped out wherever the shockwave passed.
The subsidence of the ground stretched forward in a conical shape and spread to nearly 100 meters before it could be stopped. And at this moment, in the courtyard, except for the black knight who could barely stand, there was only a wreckage left.
Although the sinking ground stopped, the wave of qi continued to move forward, sweeping through the army of newly born undead behind - the undead of level thirty or forty summoned by these shadow staff were fine, but the young man beside the messenger had already spat out a mouthful of blood, flew sideways, and crashed into the privet tree behind.
The messenger looked back at the scene coldly.
He looked at Leia again, then raised the Staff of Shadows in his hand and made a strange gesture.
On the other side, Leia's offensive did not stop, and the female knight leader did not say a word, only lifted the giant shield slightly upwards with both hands, and then charged forward with the giant shield. As the fulcrum of the giant shield was still in contact with the ground, she pulled a long spark from the stone slab as she charged.
In the twilight, it was like a fiery dragon winding towards the messenger.
The momentum was so amazing that the messenger couldn't help but take a step back, but the expression on his face did not change, and he only lightly slammed the staff in his hand to the ground after making that gesture - the shadow creatures on the battlefield seemed to be still, no longer fighting with the undead of Donde.
Only a few skeletons and ghosts were still approaching the female knight leader.
It's just that before they could get close to it, Leia's long sword pinned behind the shield was unsheathed again, and the others didn't even see how she made it, only to see the winding golden sparks around them, and suddenly a rain of light erupted from each of them.
After the light rain, thirty or forty meters apart, all the undead who were surrounding broke off in unison, fell sideways, and turned into a burning golden flame.
"The Sword of the First Enemy......
The young man lying under the privet tree almost groaned.
Revenge of the enemy first, attack the enemy first.
In the domestic division, only one person will use this trick.
"It's Sacred September!" He couldn't help but shout hoarsely, coughing loudly to remind the messenger in front of him, "...... Be careful, that's the modern-day Grand Master of the Knights of the Word. ”
"Léa Sennar?"
"Ahem, it's her."
The messenger seemed calm.
The Grand Master of the Knights of the Word is, of course, the Dragon Knight.
And what kind of combat power a top recruiter in the second world, a dragon knight, should be, was vividly displayed in front of the two of them at this moment. And that's not all - because the dragon knight hasn't appeared yet. It was just that the Courier gently shook the Staff of Shadows in his hand, and then looked up at the other party.
In an instant, Leia was not far from him.
This distance, compared to a melee class and a necromancer, is clearly extremely disadvantageous to the latter.
But the messenger only raised his hand slightly, and pointed forward—at that moment, an ominous premonition suddenly rose in Leia's heart, and it was obviously not just an illusion, nor was it a keen intuition—but a warning from the Dragon Knight Domain.
At the same moment, the voice of the dragon soul also came from her head, a little dull: "Be careful, Miss Knight." Leia made a sharp stop, and took advantage of the momentum to spin the large shield in her hand and threw it forward, and the giant shield whistled towards the messenger under the gaze of several people.
But in the midst of the gaze of the people, a purple-black flame suddenly rose from the place where the messenger was pointing, and the flame rose up, and in an instant it took the form of a human, and held a sharp axe.
Leia could see clearly, the human form of the flames was clearly a dwarf with all his hair and hair open, roaring angrily. The flames even depicted the other man's equipment, a heavy scale armor, a horned helmet, and a shining anvil emblem on top of the axe.
She couldn't remember where she had seen this emblem for a while, but she instinctively felt a little familiar, and at the same time, a huge uneasiness rose in her heart—this uneasiness naturally also came from the warnings of the Dragon Knight Domain and the Dragon Soul. The next moment, the dwarf struck her giant shield away, and then plummeted slightly—the next moment it vanished from her vision.
Leia was slightly stunned.
Again, it was something she had never encountered before.
But Donde's warning was already coming from behind him: "Be careful, behind!" ”
The Female Knight Captain had only then reacted, and what had remained in her field of vision had turned out to be only an afterimage—a shrill wind had now whistled from behind her—and Léa could tell the shape of the axe's blade in the air almost by the sound alone.
How could it be so fast?
The shield was no longer in her hand, and Leia frowned, so she could only block it with her backhand.
But as soon as she blocked it, there was a cracking sound of the legendary long sword in her hand, and she only felt a huge force coming from behind her, and then the long sword in her hand shattered piece by piece, and the fragments burst out. Fortunately, she was covered with heavy armor, otherwise the blow would have seriously injured her.
But even so, Leia was also uncomfortable, and she couldn't bear it and rushed forward a few steps. Then he looked at the broken sword in his hand in disbelief.
Although this legendary longsword is not a superb equipment, it has been with her for several years since she arrived in the second world, and she does not know how many top masters she has fought against, but she has never damaged the sword in the slightest during the sword.
Unexpectedly, it was just the first blow, and the sword shattered inch by inch.
She looked back at the purple flame monster, she had never remembered anything like it, what was it? Why does the First World exist like this?
This obviously didn't match her perception.
It's just that Leia gently wiped the blood from the corner of her mouth, and then reached out to catch the giant shield that flew back, and subconsciously prepared to summon her dragon knight. This purple flame is definitely a monster at the level of a dragon knight, and if she doesn't do her best, I'm afraid it will be difficult to fight against it.
But it was at this time that her movements froze.
Because the messenger's hand moved to connect the dots, and two identical purple flame monsters were summoned around him—only this time, one tall and one short, seemed to be two humans, a man and a woman, rather than the previous dwarves.
From afar, the lich Tang De watched this scene, and without saying a word, he didn't care about the three-headed giant mastiff he had summoned, turned around and hurriedly fled along the ruins on the other side of the Xia Duan Tower. Leave only the female leader of the Knights of the Word alone in this place.
