Chapter 53: The Maid and the Sailor
When the dark fairy heard the little girl's shout, she suddenly felt bad in her heart. He looked up and looked in the direction of Shesta. The maid lady was stretching out her hands behind her, and in the cold wind, a pair of huge gauntlets, the surface of the metal had been atomized at low temperatures, like a pair of frost giant fists.
She opened her arms and leaped down, like a giant eagle, and swooped down.
"Be careful!" The dark fairy tale shouted backwards.
In the next moment, Shesta had fallen heavily to the ground, stirring up a snowflake. In the midst of the flying snowflakes, she raised her right hand, her gauntlet pointed directly at the dark fairy tale, and with a soft 'woo' sound, the metal leaves on it unfolded one by one, like a giant dragon with scales, and a strong wind roared from her mouth, through the snow wind, and shot straight at it.
She moved so fast that everyone saw only an afterimage.
"Mongoose's Leap, Lightning Reflection—" Dark Fairy felt a chill in her heart, this was a fairly high-ranking martial artist—no, a Fighter Saint—this was at least a martial artist of around twenty levels.
And the other party's gauntlet was quite weird, he had never seen this type of martial artist magic guide before.
Dark Fairy took a step back and rolled up her long gray cloak, a precious secondary magic guide that perfectly resisted an attack that did not exceed its maximum protection.
I saw that the gray cloak was rolled up in front of him, and the etheric lines on it shone slightly, and a silver hexagonal magic shield floated out, hanging in the air. But to his surprise, the wind blade passed through the snow and dispersed before it could get closer, only bringing snowflakes with it.
"The range is not ——? enough"
The dark fairy tale was slightly stunned in her heart. He raised his hand to cover the snowflakes flying in his face, and at the same time turned to the side of the precipitator, and turned back, taking a serpentine dodge that a ranger usually uses.
This is to prevent the other party from pursuing him by taking advantage of the line of sight.
And he also changed his footing point and took an unusual direction, beware of the other party's prediction of his evasive position.
The three movements were almost in one go, and a coherent tactic had been formed in his mind. The dark fairy fairy felt that he should be perfect, but suddenly, he saw a shadow flash by his side.
The dark fairy tale looked back in amazement -
And the young man who fell to the ground in the distance saw it more clearly.
He saw the maid lady fall to the ground, turned around, and shot a wind blade in the midst of a snowflake flying, which dissipated in mid-air, bringing a cloud of snowflakes over the group of Ragnarok.
Then she moved forward like an arrow at the Ragnarok people, as if she had made an agreement with the ranger led by the other party, who swerved sideways in the snowflakes and staggered past the maid.
The young man who fell to the ground, his face cold and blue, suddenly held his breath.
Who is the other party? He had thought that the people on that platform were in league with Ragnarok, but it didn't seem to be, and the strength shown by the other party didn't seem to be below Ragnarok's people.
Some familiar names immediately flashed through his mind—
Is it Silver Vislan?
Or Elite?
The dark fairy tale turned around, and all she saw was a silhouette of Shesta in the snow and wind, dressed in black, like a vigorous black panther, rushing straight into the crowd.
He saw that direction, and his head couldn't help but buzz - that was where the healers on the team were. But how did the woman know that their priest was in that place?
"Block her!"
He screamed.
The warriors of Ragnarok's team reacted quickly, raising their large shields to block the path of the maid lady. The magic guide furnace behind him flickered slightly, and the ether lines on the giant shield lit up one by one, making a 'snort' sound, and four white gases were discharged to the left and right sides.
The giant shield sank down, and sat firmly in the snow.
But Shesta didn't dodge or dodge, and struck the giant shield with a punch, and the metal leaf blades on her gauntlet closed from front to back, and a shock ripple swept across the center of the landing point.
The giant shield recessed backwards, as if even the air was cracking. The Iron Guard only had time to let out a national curse: "Fuck ......" and flew backwards with the man and shield, pressed down on the priest, and fell into the snow.
After a moment, a loud bang echoed.
The power of overload, the blow of the explosion -
There was a moment of silence in the snowstorm.
Dark Fairy Tale didn't expect the other party to be so resolute, and the blow of the explosion required the magic furnace to burn two-thirds of its mana in an instant under overload, increasing the attack power and physical penetration of the next attack by thirty.
This blow can't change the target halfway, and it can't be turned, and if it misses, it is equivalent to wasting two-thirds of the mana in vain, and it will also use up the magic furnace for an overload opportunity.
And this is the only skill that a Fighter - or Fighter Master can match an assassin's single burst below level 40, but the conditions for use are much harsher.
It's not that no one uses it, but if it's not a high-value target that is used for instant kills, it will be at a disadvantage for the fighter himself; At least the dark fairy tale has never been seen, and there will be people who will use this trick as soon as they come up when they are alone in the face of many enemies.
And it was this inertial thinking that made them suffer a big loss.
He was looking back at the back.
There's nothing wrong with the Iron Guard, it's just that the durability of the giant shield has lost more than half, but the priest is miserable, and the shield almost didn't save his life. But he was seriously injured and lost his ability to heal, and he had to drag another nurse in the team to help him stay alive.
In other words, they will not have any other assistance for a while.
"She even counted that gear......
This possibility suddenly flashed through the dark fairy tale's mind. As the leader of this adventure group, he was a little hesitant for the first time.
But if Fang Yu is here, he will definitely tell the other party kindly, this is purely thinking too much. Because this is actually the usual fighting style of this maid lady, as soon as she comes up, she does her best, and it is better to be a berserker than a fighter.
Of course, the other party is not just reckless. In fact, her other advantage, even in Fang Yuan's opinion, was one of the best among the Electors he had ever seen, but she often dealt with opponents with one blow, and she rarely saw it on weekdays.
In fact, in the daily training, Shesta abused him and Luo Yu in the confrontation, and the maid was much more terrible than the patient big cat man.
But the dark fairy tale doesn't know any of this.
He just suddenly reacted, he didn't have much room to back down, the goal was there, if he couldn't complete the task, he would probably become a laughing stock when he went back. What's more, the other party's level is only about twenty levels, which is not beyond his original assumption.
He must be in his heart, so he raised his hand and shouted: "She has been overloaded, and now she is in a state of weakness, besieging her!" ”
Shesta stepped back slightly, lowering her hand. In the cold wind, I saw a white mist between the metal leaves, and the ice and snow fell on it, and it melted and disappeared in an instant.
A few hundred meters away, a clockwork fairy hovered in the snowy wind, and with a 'click', it gently switched the camera perspective.
In fact, there is no need for Dark Fairy Tale to give orders, after all, the Ragnarok team is full of experienced veterans, and two swordsmen, including a two-handed swordsman and a musketeer, have already attacked one after the other.
The swordsmanship of the two is exquisite, the big cross slash, the small cross slash, the vertical pick, the smooth split, the skills of the swordsman are at their fingertips, and there is no jerky feeling between the swordsmen of ordinary callers.
With the assistance of the system, the swordsmanship of the two has almost reached the level of aboriginal swordsmen who have been immersed in it for many years, except for some one-size-fits-all eyes, there are not too many shortcomings.
It's just that the two of them soon had a numb scalp together.
Probably because of the overload of the magic furnace and the lack of mana, the maid lady in front of her did not launch another attack. But she was just defensive, and she didn't leak it.
Some of the defensive moves were so simple that they were almost omitted, and with a single release, the huge gauntlets held the sword of the swordsman steadily. The maid didn't even make much movement, and took a slight step back, dissolving the attack of the two invisibly.
The blades staggered, sparks flying, and it seemed like blocking a round of fast attacks, but the expression on Sesta's face didn't even change.
What chilled the hearts of the two of them the most was that Ragnarok certainly had all kinds of special training, and they had not experienced battles with martial artists, but some of Shesta's movements seemed to them to be obviously irregular-
But they just couldn't get past their defenses.
"She's too balanced!"
"Someone is going to get her in the back."
"Is there a spell?"
The two of them shouted stubbornly.
If Luo Yu, Parker and the others were here, I'm afraid they would laugh out loud. Miss Maid is gifted in combat, and even the big cat man has said that her balance and reflexes are beyond ordinary people, and if she attacks, she may not necessarily break through the defense of opponents of the same level.
But defense, and a character below level twenty-five can easily make her take a step back.
Miss Maid dared to let go of her hands to attack, and naturally she relied on it, in fact, she showed this trait during the first battle of Dorifin. It's just that after a few more actual battles, under the guidance of the big cat man, the maid lady has become more and more familiar with this kind of tactic.
Everyone gave away the nickname 'Iron Wall', of course, in all senses, not only in that regard.
And the hardships that Fang Yuan, Luo Yu and Parker endured in their daily training can finally be experienced by others now.
"Scarlet Wings," Dark Fairy Tale called out to the elementals in the team, "you prepare spells, you're a water and air elemental, and this is a better place for you to play." ”
The latter nodded, stepped out of the crowd, raised his hand, and after about two or three seconds, an empty crystal appeared in his hand.
The young man lying on the ground saw this scene, and he was secretly a little anxious in his heart, although it was only a ring of crystals, but the speed of the other party's gathering elements was also a little amazing.
This is clearly a professional element to make.
He couldn't help but look at the maid in the middle of the battle, hoping that the other party would find the elemental envoy hiding in the shadows - but unfortunately it didn't seem to be, Shesta was very focused, and there was no situation in the accident realm.
He opened his mouth to shout, but the other magician had apparently been monitoring the situation in this direction, and the Ice Golem pressed down, burying his head in the snow, leaving him with a whining sound.
The dark fairy tale couldn't bear it, and while letting people go around to get closer to the little girl, she opened her bow and arrow, and replaced it with a winding arrow, ready to interfere with Shesta's movements. Although his own people are also under the range of melee combat, his abacus plays very well, and the winding arrow does not cause fatal damage, and it has little effect on his own people, even if he misses the shot, the problem will not be too big.
What's more, he is very confident in his marksmanship.
But just as he opened his bow, a hint of alarm suddenly flashed in his heart, and he subconsciously turned sideways. In the distance, a flash of fire was heard, and a bullet pierced through the snow and hit where he had stood.
The dark fairy looked up and saw another person appear on the platform, holding a smoking handcuff pointing in his direction.
He gasped, Attaria's magic guide was very backward, and the accuracy was like that, the spear was fine, the hand could hit so accurately in such a long direction, in the cold wind.
How are there monsters one after another on this platform?
And looking at the other party's outfit, he is still a musketeer, which means that the musketeer who is now the main swordsman also has the shooting level of a gunner?
And Baggins narrowed one of the injured eyes and took a sip, although his level has dropped a lot, it is mainly due to physical fitness, and the past experience is actually still there. This shot was expected, but I didn't expect the other party to be so alert.
He threw away his gun, untied a cable, and like an old sailor jumping into a gang, drew his sword and grabbed the rope and swung downward.
"Watch out, another one!"
Dark Fairy heard someone shouting behind her, and apparently, the rest of Ragnarok's team had seen Baggins breaking through the ice and mist.
He hadn't forgotten his duty, and turned back to command: "Don't mess around - the Iron Guard protects the spellcaster, Chen Shu, you go up and stop that guy." The man he called was the substitute musketeer in the ranks.
As a substitute, the opponent was naturally no better than the musketeer who fought with Shesta, but he was only a little worse in archery, but he still had a sword skill that he was proud of—of course, among the Electors of this level.
The dark fairy tale had already seen through the system that Baggins's level was not high, and he thought to himself that the opponent's archery skills were good, and the swordsmanship should be very ordinary, otherwise the level experience would not be justified anyway.
And with Chen Shu's level, it shouldn't be a big problem to block the other party.
He is actually helpless.
There are only so many people in a team, and of course it is impossible to do everything. There were thirteen of them in their line, and there were only twelve of them, excluding the waste alchemist who had no combat power.
Among them, two healers, one magician, and two elemental messengers, a total of five spellcasters, accounted for nearly half. To protect so many spellcasters, two Iron Guards are necessary, and these people can't be thrown into the front row of battle.
And the remaining five, apart from him, were a two-handed swordsman, two musketeers - a main force and a substitute, and a nightingale. And the nightingale was sent by him to find the little girl, so there was only this substitute musketeer.
But what the dark fairy tale never expected was-
Chen Shucai, who he sent, had a face-to-face with the musketeer, and he suffered a loss. I saw that the musketeer on the other side threw away the rope in his hand, and struck a sword forward, and the two swords intersected, and there was a trembling sound.
But the latter did not retreat, and only sliced down the blade of his sword, which was the 'cut' of a clever swordsman - of course, the thin swords used by musketeers all had gauntlets, so they did not have to worry about having their fingers cut off by a sword.
It's just that Chen Shu was overjoyed when he saw this scene, and he thought he had a plan, so he was ready to take a heavy step with the other party's sword, so he took a step forward, went straight up, and struck a blow with his sword. And the dark fairy tale happened to see this scene on the side, and just by looking at his movements, he secretly knew that it was worse, because the musketeer was not in a hurry at all, and most of the tricks were to lure the enemy.
Sure enough, as soon as Chen Shu made a move, Baggins suddenly showed off his skills, reversed the cage handle on his sword, and actually stuck the blade of the thin sword, and then raised his leg and kicked him out directly.
"I'm too anxious," he said, then he took off the thin sword between the handle of the cage and threw it back at the young man, "If you want to be a swordsman, you have to practice again." ”
The sword slammed into Chen Shu's side, making the latter tremble, and when he raised his head, he found that the other party had not killed him.
He was stunned for a moment, not knowing if he should pick up his sword and attack again. The dark fairy tale looked at him, and almost died of anger: "What are you still in a daze, go up again!" ”
But Chen Shuleng paused for a moment and said, "But he didn't kill me, and I can't make any more moves according to the rules of the swordsman." ”
The dark fairy tale was speechless for a while, knowing that this retarded mind could not be counted on before he reacted. If no one could stop the musketeer and let him rush to the back, the only remaining Iron Guard behind him would probably not be able to stop him.
He could already see that Baggins's previous sword was not very powerful, but the timing of the dexterous swordsman's 'sword-snatching' could tell that he was extremely experienced - this was an aborigine, and he realized it immediately.
He didn't care about Shesta's side anymore, and turned his longbow to aim at Baggins.
Baggins glanced at the opposing swordsman, nodded at him, and then stepped back, disappearing into the snow. He didn't intend to go head-to-head with the dark fairy tale, and he could see that this young man was not simple.
He used his experience to restrain the opposing swordsman, but this team was dominated by spellcasters, and once he was held back by the ranger, he and Shesta would fall to the disadvantage as soon as the magic was ready.
And the dark fairy tale saw Baggins disappear, and almost went dark - the other party still has a nightingale level, which may not be high, but it is enough in this snowy weather. He realized something, picked up the communication crystal and shouted:
"Nightingale, watch out over there, someone is looking for you."
There was a flurry over there, and then a muffled snort came from the crystal, apparently under attack.
"!"
Angry, the dark fairy tale cursed, and hurriedly picked up the bow and chased in that direction.
But Baggins doesn't look like he's going to cut into the back of them for a while, and that's probably the only thing that gives the dark fairy tale a little peace of mind.
