Chapter 1508: Battle of Mochizuki City (VIII.)
Roland sent Lyudmila to the empty arrow tower and slowly spread his palms.
"Honey, thank you for helping me find a great place with a great view!" The female ranger jumped away from Roland's palm, threw a flying kiss at him with a smile, picked up the legendary longbow "Blowing Snow" and condescendingly sniped at the stubborn guards in the castle, and the arrows in the force field shot down like silver beams, and those who were hit by the arrows were all killed on the spot.
Roland leans on the arrow tower and looks down on the castle. A group of men dressed in slave trap uniforms were spotted running in the direction of the warehouse, apparently not to resist the siegers, but to smash open the warehouse and loot it before the castle fell.
"That's not going to work!" Roland shook his finger, "Every plant and tree in this castle belongs to the government of Koras, how can you thieves steal it." ”
The loud rebuke echoed in the air like rolling thunder, which shook the ears of the group of mercenaries, and they looked up at the sky one after another, and saw a giant standing in the sky holding the arrow tower in one hand and the bell tower in the other, looking down on them, and was immediately frightened.
Roland rubbed his ears, and vaguely heard the mercenary exclaiming "Titan", deeply despising this group of turtles for being rare and strange. The Titan was tall, but he was a child compared to his current size. However, since the other party mistook him for a Titan, Roland didn't mind playing a "cosplay", his eyes flashed with psionic brilliance, and he waved his hand to release dense lightning, like a glowing net, which swept all the ants-like mercenaries on the ground.
He doesn't know the Titan's signature spell, Chain Lightning, but he can use the Tier 6 psychic ability Energy Barrage to simulate a large-area lightning bombardment knockdown. The mercenaries of the slave catcher team who were struck by lightning were like a swarm of mosquitoes crashing into an electric mosquito swatter, crackling and flickering, and then falling to the ground one after another and turning into charcoal, emitting wisps of black smoke.
Satisfied, Roland craned his neck and looked around the castle courtyard for Baron Hurd. Perhaps because he had become too large and his vision was too wide, and it was easy to miss the details under his nose, Baron Hurd was obviously curled up and shivering in the attic of the clock tower that he held in his left hand, but he didn't see it.
"O my God! This man must be a demon king from hell! Baron Hurd had long since lost his former majesty, and when he saw the hundred-foot giant patrolling around through the small window of the bell tower, he was so frightened that he crawled away from the tower like a frightened groundhog into the underground warehouse, but the dazzling gold and silver treasures in the warehouse could not make him feel safe, and he sat on the ground as if he had been sucked away, and his face was full of fear and despair.
At this moment, the only comfort that Baron Hurd could take was that the Half-Scorpion Guard led by Seth was still holding on to the last stronghold in the castle.
……
Roland condescendingly looked around, but did not find the figure of Baron Hurd, shook his head in disappointment, temporarily suppressed the magic of the "Behemoth", restored his original size, summoned a purgatory colt to ride up, and urged the horse to rush across the drawbridge into the castle.
At this time, the guards at the head of the city had been assassinated by the Parnia ninja army led by Veronica. The Crystal Fort was bombarded by Tonya's incarnate swift calling for lightning, and anyone who tried to touch the cannon would experience the taste of electrocution, and the gunner was useless, and he didn't want to die under the ninja knife in vain, so he could only raise his hand and surrender.
Veronica struck at the mercenaries, who were mainly composed of former border guards of the Assanian Empire, and opened up to the technical forces such as gunners, and ordered Tita to take the surrendered artillerymen into custody, jump off the city on her own, and sneak towards the atrium with a large snake knife.
The atrium of the castle has a verandah, and the central area is not planted with ornamental flowers like ordinary gardens, but with a large wide flat bunker. There are faint blood marks on the surface of the yellow sand, and there seem to be broken white bones mixed in the sand, giving people a strange and eerie impression.
At this time, a group of half-human and half-scorpion mercenaries were guarding the entrance of the atrium, and the half-scorpion led by them was holding a spear that emitted blood-colored brilliance, and his face was extremely gloomy.
"Boss Seth, the enemy is too strong, I'm afraid we won't be able to hold it, instead of burying that old guy, it's better to retreat now and preserve our strength." A half-scorpion warrior whispered.
Seth hesitated, shook his head, and said, "We took Baron Hurd's money, how can we retreat without a fight like those cowards of the slave catchers?" The warriors of the Scarlet Tribe regard honor as life, if they have a bad reputation, how will they mix in the south in the future! ”
"But ......"
Outside the courtyard, there was a sudden sound of horses' hooves, and a group of knights in crimson armor rushed over.
"Don't talk nonsense, at least repel the wave of enemies in front of us and then retreat, we are also worthy of Baron Hurd!" Captain Seth held his gun in both hands and led the Half-Scorpion Guard to stop the knights.
"Meteor Knight" Marcus raised his long sword and urged his horse to rush towards the imposing half-scorpion warrior opposite, swinging his sword and slashing with all his might.
Captain Seth swung his spear to block, and the two figures staggered in the sound of gold and iron, Marcus grabbed the reins, and the palm holding the sword was slightly numb, secretly surprised by the strong strength of the half-scorpion warrior.
Captain Seth glanced down at his blood-light spear, and a crack broke in the position where he had blocked the opponent's spear just now, and it was obvious that the opponent's silver spear was at a higher level of enchantment than his spear.
"Half-vampires of Parnia, Mochizuki City is not a place for you to go wild!" Seth stabbed his gun hard into the sand with his backhand, picking up a cloud of dust and throwing it at Marcus.
Marcus hurriedly raised his cloak to shield himself from the sand and dust, and held his sword to prevent the other party from taking advantage of the opportunity to attack. However, Seth did not rush forward after raising the dust, and a large red scorpion more than six feet long came out of the sand pit opened by the spear, and pounced on Marcus with great speed.
The Half-Scorpion has an innate ability to tame scorpion creatures, and once a day can cast a spell similar to "Summon Natural Allies", summoning a ferocious giant scorpion to fight side by side.
Marcus's strength was slightly stronger, and he had the upper hand alone, but the giant scorpion summoned by the opponent caused him a lot of trouble, and he fell into passivity for a while.
By this time, the Redstone Guards had already fought against the half-scorpion mercenaries. Parnia's Guardians are generally higher in combat power than the Half-Scorpions, but they are also in a similar predicament to Marcus: they have to deal with both the Half-Scorpion and the poisonous giant scorpion summoned by the opponent, and the battle situation in front of the atrium door is deadlocked.
At this moment, a looming shadow slipped into the courtyard of the scuffle, and quietly approached Captain Seth under the cover of the shadow of the building.
Swish! Captain Seth suddenly threw out his scorpion tail and whipped the phantom sneaking behind him. The opponent's reaction is also very flexible, and when he finds that the situation is not good, he has to roll backwards and dodge the scorpion tail whip in time.
