94. Puppeted companions
The Goblin King gave the order to attack in his heart.
The puppeteers of Grim pounced on the people around them who were not infected by the bloodstings.
Rodney instantly opened the magic circle of the five gates to resist, causing them to pass through the portal one after another, appearing far away from the villagers and himself.
But the puppets' orders are still being carried out, and they have traveled all the way to the distance.
"What a troublesome ability...," the Goblin King gritted his teeth.
The voice did not fall.
Rodney stood in place and swung his sword, unfurling a pair of circles in front of him and behind the Goblin King.
The tip of the sword that swung into the circle suddenly appeared beside the Goblin King.
A violent burst of sparks and red dust flew, which was also stopped by the solidified blood.
I thought that the attack speed was slower than the flying sword, could I help myself? The Goblin King thought to himself.
But immediately after, Rodney continued to slash and stab.
The magic circle around the Goblin King is also constantly changing positions, and the frequency of such attacks is extremely high compared to the sword that shoots out quickly, and Rodney hardly needs to change his stance, just swing the sword on the spot at great speed, and he can achieve the effect of a skilled swordsman attacking without dead ends.
As a result, the Goblin King had to constantly unfold the blood armor all over his body.
This undoubtedly hindered the puppets' control a little, and Grim and the others ran and stopped, occasionally deviating from their direction.
When he finally approached the scene again, he was blocked by Rodney's newly summoned magic circle and teleported to a distant place where no one was there again.
Both the Bloodspike attack and the golem attack were blocked by strange portals, so they couldn't hurt them in the slightest, and the Goblin King snorted lightly and disappeared into the rock in an instant.
"Where's it!? Did you run away!? Horf got his axe and rushed to Chazzo and Rodney's side.
When he was separated from Rebecca, he asked Rebecca to tell Ora to protect the villagers and not to approach this side.
"No, it's moving at high speed!" Rodney was alert, his eyes moving in all directions, aware of the whooshing sound in the air.
"Is it..."Holf clenched his axe in both hands, although he didn't think he was strong in combat, he had seen many fast enemies on the battlefield when he was young, and he could barely detect the faint change in the Goblin King's breath as he passed by.
"Where, where!?" The thin man nervously joined the two villagers, back to back, "What about Grim and the fat man!?" They're all crazy now! β
"Be quiet." Rodney reproaches.
Among the few people who were safe, only Xia Zuojing stood still and didn't make any moves... Because, at all, they couldn't notice that there were people moving around them at high speed.
If there is no sound of thin people in the vicinity, it must be a quiet environment.
"ζ~!"
The Goblin King slashed the sword in Xia's left hand with a sword-shaped blood stab.
οΌοΌ , everyone turned their attention to that side, and the sound that clearly swept through the air was around Rodney, why did the body appear there?
The Goblin King let out a complaint, because he was obviously aiming at Xia Zuo's head, but before swinging the bloody sword, Xia Zuo launched a dodge and blocked it with his sword at a near-perfect angle, saving his life.
Rodney caught the Goblin King's attack and lost his balance, unfolded the portal and slashed with his sword, only to slash his sword into the blood-red armor that was scattered all over his body at some point.
This was carried out at the same time as Xia Zuo's counterattack, breaking the sword and slashing to another position in the Goblin King's armor.
The thrust in roughly the same direction only made the Goblin Queen jump one step.
Rodney didn't miss this opportunity, and this was the only time he had seen Goblin King's movements so far.
With a gesture, he opened a portal behind the Goblin King, and half of his body was about to enter.
In an instant, the Goblin King, who realized the danger, grew several extended spikes from his back, which supported the ground diagonally and stopped in time.
Only the edges of the red armor entered the portal.
It doesn't seem to be going well, and I hope to hurt it in the slightest.
Rodney squeezed his hand and the portal closed, and the Goblin King continued to stretch out his spikes, keeping his body away from the portal.
The retracted portal sharply cut through the armor of the Goblin King's blood armor, and the section was as smooth as a mirror.
"It's a pity," Rodney sighed.
The severed edges and corners of the armor did not hinder the Goblin King, and soon new blood coalesced to replace the missing area.
At this point, it never took back the blood-red armor and kept it in a state of wear, and the blood-condensed helmet was also formed on its head.
It was like a full body armor, tightly enveloping the Goblin King.
"The people who can be taken down by my high-speed movement have been dealt with by me... White-haired knight, you are very good, I can't get close to you for the time being, so I give up; And youβ" The Goblin King looked at Xia Zuo, his angry expression blocked by his helmet, "It's obviously full of flaws, but I won't be killed by a single blow, which makes me as angry as the first time I saw you... Is it deliberately revealing the appearance of that hanger!? β
β... If you can, I would also like to be as keenly aware of you as they are, how about slowing down a little..."Xia Zuo said helplessly.
"What is thisβ" The thin man touched the back of his neck, as if there was a tingling pain.
"Huh?" Holf also touched the back of his neck, and the rough palm was touched back by blood from the wound.
"Uh...!" The remaining villagers clutched their chests in pain and crouched on the ground, immediately unconscious.
Several of them were wounded in the neck, and the wounds were spreading bloodshot all around...
"Did it just happen?" Rodney was slightly surprised.
If the Goblin King approaches him just now, he can unfold several portals, block them with high density, and if he controls them properly, he can also close the portal the moment the Goblin King breaks through the portal, directly splitting the Goblin King in two.
However, the Goblin King did not get close to himself, and Rodney thought about opening the portal from a distance, but the current upper limit of the portal was ten pairs, and the large area was too scattered, and he couldn't even touch the shadow of the enemy moving at high speed.
At this moment, except for Xia Zuo and Rodney, everyone on the scene has become the puppet of the Goblin King.
Like Quake before them, they got up from the ground after faking their deaths.
Under the hostility of the Goblin King to Xia Zuo, he surrounded Xia Zuo.
"Don't stop it with space magic, silver-haired knight." Xia didn't look back on the left side of the prompt.
At the same time, he bends down and picks up the one-handed sword that the villager dropped earlier.
The Goblin King watched and didn't stop it, because it didn't matter how many scrap iron swords he picked up.
Rodney's attempt to open the portal stopped, "... What are your plans? β
"I need to borrow your sword." As soon as Xia Zuo finished speaking, he winked at the "Angry Strike", and the fluctuating red light converged on the sword body.
"My sword?" Rodney didn't have any reason to believe that Xia Zuo's use of his sword would bring different results.
At the goblin king's inner order, the puppets all flocked to Xia Zuo.
"What would you do now? Pretend one-handed swordsman, your companions are coming to attack you, kill them, or you will be held hostage forever by those around you. β
Seven people, including Holf, Grim and others, aimed at Xia Zuo's head, heart, and neck and bit away.
A burst of dodge and blocking, "Angry Strike", stacked to seven layers, and the red fluctuations made this ordinary iron sword tremble unsteadily.
