Chapter 176: Lullaby
Doloris is a killer by profession, and in her early years, she was active in the Southern Isles, and has a terrifying record of assassinating thirteen tribal leaders in succession, and her reputation is well known in the South China Sea.
So Dolores has always been a woman who is extremely confident in herself, and in fact she also has this capital - except for a wall at Dinati, she has never failed in the assassination missions she has taken on since her debut.
Once again, she ran into what could be called a difficult and tricky target.
"Boom!"
Dolores slashed forward with a powerful slash, and Arowen immediately blocked with her sword, subtly retreating after the violent impact, her body jumping up and down as lightly as a swallow.
"Tutu Tu—"
A second before Arowen stood still, Dolores had already taken a small crossbow from her waist, and aimed at the former in a series of shots, and the special pitch-black arrows pierced through the dark night, stirring up bursts of razor-like air, like a ferocious poisonous snake biting.
Arowen didn't panic, his steps shifted sideways, his body delicately misaligned, a few arrows grazing his skin with extreme speed, and then the long sword in his hand quickly cut a zigzag arc in the air, slashing the remaining arrows away.
"Hey, is it really useless?"
Dolores smashed her mouth unhappily, threw her crossbow on the ground, held the knife in both hands and raised her arms, and took a prepared stance before the charge.
From the beginning of the battle to the present, the pace of the battle has been controlled by Arrowen, and although Dolores tried her best to reverse this unfavorable situation, the outcome of the battle was obviously not so satisfactory.
Dolores was suppressed.
This is the first time she has encountered this kind of target, obviously the profession is an upright soldier, and what she is good at should be the dignified way of fighting on the battlefield, but Arrowen's fighting style is more like a killer than a killer, such as what kind of action Dolores takes, this man seems to be able to foresee, and he will always be faster than her.
It was the difference between this line that made Dolores fall behind one step and then fall behind one step at a time.
It can't go on like this, the tactics must be changed, this man can't be defeated in the usual way.
Dolores's mind was in a hurry, and she had already made a decision in secret.
On the other side, Arowen lowered his sword seemingly casually, and the corners of his mouth slightly outlined a line of excitement and pleasure, staring at Dolores in front of him with great interest.
"It's very powerful, judging from the moves and routines, you should be a professional killer, right? That swordsmanship that was only born to kill people can't be faked. No wonder just two people dared to sneak into the heavily defended Tiger Pass, and even wanted to take off my head, you have arrogant confidence and strength...... However, Uncle Ben is stronger than you. ”
"Hmph, you guy is less narcissistic." Doloris snorted disdainfully, "The real powerhouse should be a man like Lord Dynadi, and you are still far behind." ”
"It seems that you are still a brain-dead fan of Danati, forget it, I won't argue with brain-dead fans, it's a pure waste of time, everything just needs to be proven with practical actions...... After killing you, I'm going to cut off the head of Dinati, hang the gates of the city, and wait for an answer in hell. ”
"You're dreaming!"
Doloris's eyes were furious, her body popped out at high speed like a spun bullet, and the sword in her hand flipped and danced, and she pounced on Arrowen like a whirlwind, bursting into a continuous slash like a shower.
Arowen laughed wildly, and swung his sword-wielding arm violently, slashing out a series of indistinguishable afterimages in front of him, taking Dolores's slash without leaving any slash, and even calmly counterattacking, firmly controlling the rhythm of the entire battle.
The sound of dense gold and stone clashing resounded in the night, and after the two of them collided fiercely again, they retreated to both sides with this as the center.
At that moment, Dolores suddenly raised her face, her eyes burning as red as volcanic lava, colliding with Arrowen's gaze in the air.
Immediately, an invisible and phaseless spiritual fluctuation suddenly erupted, using Arowen's eyes as a medium to burrow into his brain.
This was the move Dolores used against the patrol team she had attacked earlier, and it was also the ability she possessed as an imperial tool.
Emperor, lullaby, the dream of a fallen city.
A type of blood-type emperor, the ability is similar to mind control hypnosis, when activated, the eyes will turn red like blood, and it will show different effects depending on the strength of the hypnotic subject's willpower.
A sudden hazy sensation invaded Arrowen's mental world, causing his eyes to be in a trance, but it was then replaced by vigilance, and the strong will that came from his heart made it easy for him to expel this spiritual heterogeneity from his mind.
The whole process was only a brief second, but when Arowen's eyes regained clarity, what he saw was a cold blade wrapped in the breath of death.
"Phew!"
The cold, ruthless blade slashed like lightning, bringing up a cloud of scarlet blood.
Then, Arrowen clutched his injured left shoulder and retreated quickly, separating more than 20 meters from Dolores before he could stop.
"Damn, just a little bit ......"
Dolores indifferently put away her sword, with no expression on her face, but secretly expressed pity in her heart.
If Arrowen's reaction had been a fraction slower, Dolores' sword would have literally slashed his throat, but unfortunately there was no if on the battlefield, and her inevitable sword only caused Arrowen a painless injury in the end.
Although her imperial equipment consumption is not serious, and she can fully support multiple uses, but just now it was only a surprise, and now that Arowen is on guard, this trick probably won't be easy...... Miscellaneous soldiers aside, with Dolores' current ability, she can't forcibly twist the will of a strong person like Arrowen.
On the other side, Arowen stood up again, turned his head to look at the injury on his shoulder, and after finding that it had no effect on combat effectiveness, he didn't care.
He calmly stared at Dolores who was standing in front of him staring on guard, a bright but cold smile on his face.
"Is that all you have to do? If that's all there is, then I'm sorry, you're probably going to die here tonight. ”
"Don't be ashamed to speak ......"
Dolores raised her eyebrows, and was about to make a sarcastic remark, when she heard heavy footsteps like a converging army in the distance—a large number of people were rapidly approaching.
Calculating the time, several minutes had passed since the explosion, enough for the surrounding garrisons and patrols to arrive.
As soon as these people arrived, Dolores would be surrounded by a heavy surrounding, which should have been a happy thing, but Arrowan frowned slightly, and then he didn't know what he thought, and his face changed suddenly.
"Colonel Arrowin, my subordinates are here to help you arrest this thief!"
An officer with the rank of lieutenant walked to the front and shouted, and ordered the iron artillery team to set up a position, and many guns were aimed at Doloris, and when the lieutenant waved his hand, the bullets roared.
Seeing this formation, the corners of Dolores' lips slightly provoked a mocking smile, and the crimson light lit up from her eyes again.
In the next moment, almost a dozen guns suddenly turned around, and the hypnotized soldiers uncontrollably pointed their guns at their colleagues next to them, and then pulled the trigger without hesitation.
"Bang bang-"
With the fierce gunshots, one by one the soldiers fell in a pool of blood in disbelief, the change happened too suddenly and too weirdly, seeing their colleagues rushing towards him like crazy, the officers and men of the Southwest Army who were here suddenly fell into chaos.
The lieutenant officer who had just been in charge of the position command was standing in place at this time, his eyes were also dyed with a dull dark red, and he saw that he raised his hand and pulled out the saber at his waist, and actually rushed straight towards Arowen.
