I threw both legs backwards at the same time, and with a backward step, the scimitar swept in front of me by a fraction of a second.

The scimitar attack slowed his opponent's movements for a moment before the magic sword in my right hand reached out and struck him in the throat. At the same time, I held a small steel shield in my left hand, and with a "bell" sound, I blocked the long sword that came from overhead, and it was an enemy flying soldier who flew above my head and leaned down to attack......

The enemy's three-dimensional offensive suddenly broke up our attempt to defend the balcony, and at the same time dealt with the enemy who landed on the balcony in front of him, and the enemy who attacked from the top of his head with his "flying technique", so that we could not help but be overwhelmed, and we were afraid that the flying enemy would land behind us, but instead surrounded us, so we could only retreat back into the corridor and guard the entrance to the balcony.

Retreating to avoid being flanked up and down, but also clearing the way, allowing flying enemies to easily land on the balcony. After a pause, the enemies in front of them gathered and poured in, and the only way to take a step back was to use the relatively narrow entrance to the balcony where only a few people could enter and exit side by side, so that the enemy could not take advantage of the numerical advantage.

I and a group of Praetorian Guards faced the enemy crowded at the entrance to the balcony, but we had the advantage in the number of people who could fight at the same time, and the momentum of the opponent's attack was stopped.

This advantage is only temporary, although the number of people who can fight at the same time on both sides is that we have some advantages on our side, and the Praetorian Guard is also stronger than the average soldier, but as long as one of the opponents falls, his place will be filled by his companions behind him, and our Praetorian Guards in the continuous wheel battle, if someone falls, there is no reserve that can take over the position, only to tighten the formation, to avoid the gap exposed by the fall of the companion is interspersed by the enemy.

The current situation is very unfavorable to me, a warrior who is developing towards agility, surrounded by companions who are also defending against the enemy, there is no room for dodge, and the slashed sword is preferentially blocked with a small steel shield in the left hand, and the small steel shield is too late to block it with a magic long sword, fortunately, the strength attribute is higher than the average dark elf NPC soldier, and there are a few times when the opponent's weapon is knocked away, taking advantage of the situation to take their lives.

However, as the Praetorian Guards around me fell one by one, and the +1 Blazing Sword that I wielded from the blade of my sword and burst into flames like a torch, more and more blades were drawn towards me, and I had to use the rogue trick again. The sword that could not be dodged or had no time to resist was taken down by the armor protection on the body.

This time the situation is different from the last time I challenged a dozen or so gangsters in the player store, the enemy's sword fell on my body, in addition to the most defensive Mithril armor, the protective arm and inner thigh part of the leather inlaid with dense Mithril particles, although there is +1 enchantment enhancement, the defense is no worse than the ordinary scale armor, but it is still pierced by a thin sword! Thankfully, the leather still acts as a barrier, and my arm was only slightly injured.

I remember telling my sister that the dark elves had magic weapons on their bodies to sweep the streets. This is an exaggeration, but magic items are indeed more common in Demon Blade City than on the surface, and a slightly more powerful family can equip all its soldiers with ordinary magic or adamantite weapons!

The parts covered by the Mithril armor are not necessarily too reliable, after all, Mithril is only lighter than steel, and has no more advantages in hardness, although there is a +1 magic boost, but the enemy's magic or Adamantite weapons are enough to offset this advantage. However, the enemy's weapons were unable to damage the metal surface of the +1 Mithril Breastplate for a while, leaving only scratches. I'm glad that the Power Warrior doesn't have much of a market in the Dark Elves, and that he doesn't have to deal with a warhammer or a great axe at the moment......

As the number of our Praetorian Guards decreases, the situation becomes more and more critical, and I sometimes have to help my fellow NPCs around me, after all, I am the only one who has a little spare energy to help others at this time, and helping them is also helping myself, otherwise when the Praetorian Guards are all wiped out and the enemy is swarmed up, I will only be surrounded and sliced.

Blood splattered, and I drew my sword from the throat of the enemy in front of me, and with a flick of my wrist, the sword struck with a scimitar, blocking a deadly attack on one of the Praetorian Guards next to me...... It's a great time for him to fight back!

However, the Praetorian Guards, who had escaped the catastrophe, discarded their weapons and turned and ran......

My brain was banging, bad...... Morale...... Crashed!

The enemy who filled the position in front of me stabbed the rapier closely, but in shock, I didn't come to my senses until the blade was close to my body to dodge, and the rapier pierced through the gap on the left side of the armor in my abdomen, but fortunately there was leather protection under the surface of the Mithril armor, and the stabbing wound was not deep. The severe pain made me raise the small steel shield and smash it head-on without thinking, smashing the opponent all over the face, but the small steel shield was not embedded with shield spikes, and I had not learned the "shield strike" specialty, and the actual damage caused by smashing people with a shield was much lighter than the surface injury......

The escape of the first Praetorian Guard caused the situation to deteriorate rapidly like a chain reaction, and the affected and chaotic Praetorian Guard soldiers fell two in succession when facing the enemy, and one was chopped over from behind by the opponent when he turned around and tried to escape!

Can't hold it...... Am I going to run too? Even I couldn't help but lose the confidence to continue fighting, let alone the Praetorian Guard NPC soldiers.

At this time, it is still possible to escape, and one of the "flexible mobility" specialties I learned is a good way to escape, so I don't have to worry about being hit by the other party when I turn around and flee. In such a situation, continuing to resist is only a dead end, and escaping cannot be regarded as cowardice. However, as a nobleman, he still can't escape death when his family falls! If I want to flee with my back to the enemy, lose the ability to resist and survive for a while, and finally have to be buried with my family, I might as well break the jade here!

After a moment of hesitation, only me and two Praetorian Guard soldiers survived, and they could no longer hold the entrance to the balcony, and the enemy swarmed in like a tide!

The three of us couldn't help but lean close together, and the finished font turned against each other......

The enemy did not regard us as the first priority to destroy our opponents, and most of them rushed from both sides, leaving only a dozen or so men against the three of us.

Capture the thief and capture the king first, and the first task of these enemy soldiers who have been cast "flying arts" to raid the aristocratic quarters of the family's central building should be to deal with the priests, noble members and family officials led by the master mother.

Although the men of the nobility are not as valued as the women, they are also in the range to be eliminated, so a dozen or so soldiers are left to deal with me. If I was in good condition and the environment was suitable, and I had two companions who could cooperate, a dozen or so soldiers might not be able to deal with it, but unfortunately now I and the two Praetorian Guard soldiers were at the end of our crossbows, and we were surrounded by regiments...... I smiled wryly.
