Chapter 58: Rescue
That magic firework also made the overlord soldiers stunned for a moment, and Bai Zhe and Levi, who were the first to come back to their senses, took the opportunity to break through to the city wall where Tia was.
Tia was overjoyed to see that the two had finally responded.
Rein raised his bow to the side, put an arrow on his index finger, and said, "They're coming, we're going to cover them." ”
When he was in college, he worked part-time in an archery gym, and after that work, he shot arrows for an entire semester in his spare time, and later worked part-time as an archery instructor. Archery is a skill he learned through work-study, but he has only shot at a target and has never been in actual combat.
He exhaled, narrowed his eyes to a rock outside the city, and released the bowstring.
"Smack-"
The arrow shot from the bow landed in front of the stone and exploded.
Rein was startled and asked, "What's going on?" ”
Princess Vera explained: "The arrows you use are arrows, and they are magic arrows, which contain explosive magic and black powder, so they will explode, so you have to be careful with them." ”
Rein looked at the small pit on the ground, exhaled and said, "I know the approximate range of the bow and arrow, and the adjustment of the angle and strength of the arrow, I will try not to shoot too close to the two of them." ”
He and Tia looked at each other and said, "I can cover them with a bow and arrows." ”
Tia glanced at Bai Zhe and Levi, who were heading towards the city wall, raised her magic wand and said, "Then I will use magic to repel the pursuers." ”
The two of them were at the two battlements on the city wall, posing and waiting for Bai Zhe and Levi to approach.
On the frontal battlefield over there, the hegemonic army blew its horn, and the undead army began to launch an all-out attack on Mirror City.
Rein and Tia both looked at the battlefield over there, and outside Mirror City, the undead army of the overlord was like ants, surging towards Mirror City, and the overwhelming momentum made them feel frightened even from here.
But they couldn't tremble, their friends, Bai Zhe and Levi, were running towards them.
The soldiers who were originally besieging Bai Zhe and Levi were frightened by the magic fireworks, and when they saw that their targets began to flee, they all followed behind, vowing to cut them into meat sauce.
Lei Yin held his bow and arrow, and looked at the distance between Bai Zhe and Levi and himself: "One hundred and fifty meters...... One hundred and thirty meters...... One hundred and ten meters ......"
He clenched the tail of the arrow tightly, squinted his eyes, and finally watched Bai Zhe and Levi enter the most accurate range of the Xuangang Bow, and his arrow was aimed at the overlord soldiers who were following Bai Zhe and Levi.
"Whoa—"
The Magic Burst Arrow roared towards the Overlord Soldier, and at the end of Rein's calculated shooting route, the Magic Burst Arrow hit one of the Overlord Soldiers, and the arrow burst open, blowing the skeleton of the Overlord Soldier to pieces. The burst of air also shook several nearby soldiers, who fell to the ground, and then tripped over two more overlord soldiers.
Bai Zhe and Levi looked up while running, and they couldn't help but be surprised to see that it was shot by Lei Yin. They did not dare to stop and continued to run.
Tia's magic wand was aimed at the overlord's pursuers, chanting a long incantation: "Breed clouds of heavy rain, gather here ......"
After Rein's magic burst arrows knocked down a few of the Overlord soldiers, the other soldiers were still on their heels, unaware of what they feared. A hegemonic skeleton soldier chased after Bai Zhe, who turned around and cut him in half with a sword.
Bai Zhe and Levi are getting closer and closer, and the pursuers of the hegemon are getting closer and closer. Rein fired a second magic burst arrow, knocking down three more Overlord soldiers, but ten skeleton soldiers were in hot pursuit.
At this time, Tia finally finished the incantation, waved her wand and pointed at it, and shouted the last sound of the incantation: "...... In the name of Thor, Thunder is called! ”
A dark cloud formed in mid-air, and after Tia gave the order, the dark cloud suddenly thundered and roared, and lightning slashed down and hit the overlord's pursuers.
"Boom, boom—"
Several bolts of lightning fell, shattering all the overlord soldiers behind Bai Zhe and Levi to the ground.
Bai Zhe and Levi looked back and found that the pursuers had been emptied, and they were immediately overjoyed.
However, Tia's voice floated down from the city walls: "Don't stop, run to the big rock and pick up the 'portkey'!" A squad of skeleton soldiers has come running!! ”
Bai Zhe and Levi's eyes looked over at the battlefield and saw that five skeleton soldiers were riding skeleton horses, running towards them. They were so frightened that they ran away.
Tia kept pointing to a stone on the city wall and shouted, "There it is! Under the big stones! ”
Rein's Darksteel bow turned to the skeletal knights who were running diagonally, they were fast, and they had to be estimated for speed to have a chance of hitting them.
Bai Zhe and Levi ran under the big stone, Bai Zhe looked down at the big stone, there was indeed something underground, but it was pressed by the big stone.
Levi asked and looked down, and said, "The 'portkey' is pressed under this big stone, and we need to push it away!" ”
Bai Zhe was instructed to push the big stone with Levi. The big rock was so big that it moved a little bit with a lot of force.
The skeleton cavalry rode the skeleton horse and quickly approached Bai Zhe and Levi.
Tia commanded the dark cloud she had summoned to move in the direction the skeleton soldiers were coming from.
Rein mounted a magic burst arrow, aimed at the skeleton cavalry in the middle, and shot the arrow.
The skeleton cavalry in the middle swung the long scimitar in his hand and slashed the arrow shot by Rein in in half from the middle.
Rein was shocked, this skeleton cavalry seemed to be more powerful than the other skeleton soldiers.
Princess Vera said nervously on the side: "That skeleton cavalry is the general Isa of the hegemon, don't let him get close!" ”
Rein took another arrow and shot it, but he cut it off again, and the burst arrow that had lost its momentum did not burst. At this time, the five cavalry were only fifty meters away from Bai Zhe and Levi.
Tia's clouds finally moved, and she chanted a magic spell, and lightning fell from the clouds again.
The two magical cavalry were knocked down by lightning, but Issa and the other two cavalry sped up their running speed and went around from both sides.
At this time, Bai Zhe and Levi had already pushed the big stone half open, revealing the "portkey" pressed under the big stone, which was a worn-out boot with a portkey that used the teleportation magic.
Levi's teleportation magic takes too long to channel, and he can't teleport without a pre-marked target, so he must rely on this Portkey at this point.
Issa, with a cavalryman, ran towards Bai Zhe and Levi.
Knowing that any arrows he shot would be cut off by this powerful Issa, Rein turned his head and had a countermeasure.
He mounted an arrow again, and he saw Issa looking up at him as well, ready to meet and cut off his third arrow.
"It's a pity that this arrow wasn't aimed at you." Rein's arrow pressed down and shot out.
"Bang!"
The magic blast exploded in front of Isa's horse, creating a wave of air that caused Issa's skeleton horse to break its front hooves and kneel, sending Issa thrown from his horse and another skeleton cavalryman knocked down.
The skeleton cavalry on the other side had already ridden his horse and ran ten meters behind Bai Zhe and Levi, and was about to slash at it with his sword.
Although Tia's dark cloud is a long-range attack magic, the disadvantage is that it moves too slowly, and although she is anxious, there is nothing she can do.
After Rhine finished shooting the arrow, he was about to get the arrow in his hand, but the quiver on his shoulder broke at this moment and fell down.
Issa was tossed off her horse, her body rolling forward rapidly due to inertia. As the general of the hegemon, Issa skillfully used this inertia to successfully roll to a distance of five meters from Bai Zhe and Levi, turned over, and was about to slash at the two with a knight's scimitar.
Bai Zhe and Levi finally pushed the big stone away, and they reached out at the same time to touch the "portkey" that had seen the light of day.
Before Issa's scimitars and cavalry attacks reached them, they managed to touch their worn boots and disappeared with a thud.
"Bang!" The big stone became their substitute for the dead, and it was cut off in a large chunk by Issa's thunderous blow.
On the city wall, Bai Zhe and Levi appeared there out of thin air, and the two of them knelt on the ground, coughing violently.
"Ahem, it's uncomfortable to use the portkey every time......"
Bai Zhe complained while coughing.
"You should be glad you survived, ahem......" Levi's symptoms were slightly milder, after all, he was familiar with teleportation magic.
Tia ran over and hugged the two: "You two scared me to death!" ”
Seeing that the two managed to escape at the last moment, Tia finally breathed a sigh of relief.
General Issa, who had missed the blow under the wall, stood up and looked at the wall, the two holes of the dragon's cave were like the eyes of the abyss, facing Rein's four eyes. Rein felt an inexplicable chill and hurriedly retreated, not touching its eyeholes.
Princess Vera said, "You are all safe at all, but Mirror City may fall at any time, and I am going to assist Lance in commanding the battle." ”
"Thank you, Vera." Tia said to Vera.
"No, you don't." Vera smiled and floated to the other side of the wall.
Bai Zhe looked at Vera's departing back blankly and said, "Who is this ghost?" It's beautiful. ”
Tia said, "She is the legendary Princess Vera of Mirror City." ”
Bai Zhe slapped his thigh and said to Levi: "I'll just say, this must be the legendary Mirror City!" ”
Levi looked around and said, "It's incredible, the legend is true......"
Bai Zhe and Levi got up from the ground, Bai Zhe threw aside the worn-out boots in his hand, looked at Rein and said, "I didn't expect you to shoot arrows." ”
Rein looked at the black steel bow in his hand and said, "I practiced for a while before. ”
Bai Zhe looked in the direction where Vera floated and said, "People saved us, we can't let people do it in vain." Well, join them in making a big fuss. ”
