Chapter 577: Night Attack (III.)

Helena stood in the air in her long skirt and stared at Jennifer with her sword, as if waiting for her to come to the duel. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info

"Helena!" Jennifer let out a cry full of resentment, "I really regret that I have no eyes, I have been deceived by you for so long, and I have not seen through your true colors until now!" She once regarded Helena as her closest friend, but in the end she was deceived by the other party's hypocrisy, Helena deliberately approached her just to use her to obtain first-hand information about the airship, and the most regretful and sad thing for her was that she failed to see through the other party's disguise as soon as possible, and even took her into the dock to visit the airship, which directly laid the foundation for the later "Dawn" air crash.

The remorse and remorse all turned to hatred, and the flaming twin knives in her hands became more and more scorching and blazing, and the heat slashed at Helena's face, eager to completely burn her beautiful face hidden behind the veil.

Helena's ice-sculpted face finally showed a hint of throbbing, and with a sigh of sword movement, she dodged the flaming twin knives with a dance-like graceful step, and the magic stirred as the skirt flew, and the raindrops in the air were affected by the supernatural power radiating from her body, and turned into snowflakes dancing with her, reflecting a dreamlike luster, like a mirage.

This mastery called "Snow Flower War Dance" perfectly combines "dance" and "martial arts", so that Helena's charm of turning all beings upside down is directly transformed into combat effectiveness in an inexplicable way, whenever she stabs the thin sword in her hand when she dances in the air, Jennifer has a feeling of dazzled and at a loss, hurriedly waving her sword to parry, but every time she pounces, she is very embarrassed to be exhausted.

Jennifer learned from Roland that Helena is the "Storm Singer" of the Bard's advanced level, and the comprehensive class level is a cut higher than her, but the "Storm Singer" profession is not good at melee combat, and her advanced "Lord of the Giant Eagle" sacrifices her spell-casting ability to focus on fighting, and the professional advantage equalizes the level disadvantage, it stands to reason that the martial arts level of the two sides should be comparable, why is the gap so big in the real fight, so that it is impossible to distinguish which sword of the other party is real and which sword is a false move.

The more Jennifer hit, the more frightened she became.

Swish! A ray of silver stabbed head-on, Jennifer subconsciously dodged sideways, but the sword came too fast, and before she moved, the cold blade had already reached her throat, and she suddenly felt that everything was lost, and she closed her eyes in a dejected manner.

"It's over......"

Shout! The moment the sword was about to pierce her throat, it suddenly slid to the side, and retracted into Helena's hand in a graceful silver arc in the air.

The petal snowflakes fell on Jennifer's face with the air current, and immediately melted, leaving only a cool fragrance lingering on the tip of her nose.

She opened her eyes and looked blankly at the white-clothed witch opposite, and couldn't help but ask, "Why don't you kill me?" ”

In this duel between "fire" and "snow", Helena is obviously superior, but why is she merciful?

Helena...... What the hell are you thinking! Jennifer asked loudly.

"I'm sorry, Jennifer, it doesn't matter what I think," Storm's beautiful eyes filled with indescribable sorrow, "Not everyone in this world is as lucky as you to be able to choose the life you want. ”

……

The storm prevented the eagles from dropping bombs and blowing away the smoke that hung over the pirate fleet, and the shore artillery took the opportunity to open fire, stirring up a huge column of water in the sea near the harbor.

The bombardment finally won the favor of the goddess of fate, and achieved the greatest result since the start of the war: the armor of the "White Shark" waterline was pierced by shells, and the influx of sea water caused the ship's hull to tilt to one side. The damage management team rushed out to try to plug the hole, but the pumping speed was far from keeping up with the water ingress, and the captain had no choice but to order the watertight compartment on the other side to penetrate and pour seawater into the hull to restore balance and buy time for damage control.

"Haha! Well played! "In one of the batteries in the coastal defense position, the observer excitedly slapped the gunner's shoulder.

Just now, a heavy shot hit the "White Shark Ship", and the gunner pretended to be calm in his heart, and said to his partner casually: "This little thing is nothing, hurry up and load the ammunition, wait and see, the good show is still to come." ”

"Huh...... What is that? The observer looked through the binoculars into the harbor and vaguely saw a strange white bird flying from the pirate battleship that had been shot, circling in the air, and then flying towards the fort.

"Oh! Oh my God, it's a dragon! ”

The observer finally recognized the true face of the "strange bird" and couldn't help but exclaim.

At the same time, the "Kraken Fang" Hundin Spana had already flown over the fort, like a white meteorite falling from the sky, and fell heavily on the barrel of the gun sticking out of the fort, and actually trampled the bronze barrel off!

"What's going on out there?!"

Before the gunner could figure out what was going on, he stood up and peered out of the fort through the narrow window, just as he met Hundinsbana's eyes, and the brilliant dragon power radiated through the cold eyes of the evil dragon, like a pair of invisible sharp blades piercing his heart.

The gunner was so frightened that his legs went limped and collapsed backwards, and the observer was also frightened by the dragon's might, his face was as pale as paper, and he turned to open the door and try to escape, but his trembling fingers could not pull the bolt of the door anyway.

"Hehe, two bedbugs hiding in the cave, I'm here to inform you of the bad news - winter is coming!"

The white dragon Hundin Spana sneered and grinned, took a deep breath, and immediately spewed out a breath of dragon breath towards the window.

"Oh-no-"

The exclamations came to an abrupt end, and the extremely cold air filled the inside of the battery, instantly freezing the gunners and observers into ice.

……

"Do you feel it? There seems to be a beast roaring on the other side of the fort...... Veronica suddenly stopped, turning her head to look at the high ground on the left bank of the military port.

"I didn't hear any beasts roaring, but the sound of the cannon was a bit unusual." Lyudmila listened intently, there were five gun emplacements on the high ground, and there was a rumbling roar, but she always felt that the sound of the cannon was much sparser than before.

"Leave the battery alone, our mission is to get to the docks as quickly as possible to stop the pirates from landing." Nikita didn't want anything to happen.

At this time, Vigraf also stopped, looked up at the shore defense position, and his face became a little strange.

"You go first, I'll go up and have a look."

"What's the matter, Brother Viglaf?" Bloom looked at him in surprise.

"I feel a familiar aura, if it's not an illusion...... I'm afraid it's a bit of a hassle over there. ”

"Oh? Then I'll go with you! ”

"It's enough for me to go alone, you continue to implement the action plan that Mr. Roland set before, don't delay the big thing."

Wiglav took his greatsword and galloped along the winding boardwalk to the shore defenses, the familiarity growing stronger, and now he was convinced that a dragon was entrenched near the fort!

PS: Jennifer vs Helena

Jennifer: Half-Elf Druid 9 / Lord of the Giant Eagle 3 (CR12)

Helena: Sea Nymph Poet 4 / Storm Singer 10 (CR17)

Here is only a brief estimate of melee ability (attack AB and defense AC), the druid's base attack (BAB) growth is the same as that of the poet, the Lord of the Giant Eagle is full BAB, and the Storm Singer is 1/2 BAB, the strength and agility attributes of the two are about the same, and the melee ability should be about the same when converted.

However, Helena has the following special abilities and equipment:

・Snowflake War Dance

Prerequisites: Singing ability, performance (dance) level 6;

For 1 daily chant, you can perform a deadly combat move: Snowflake War Dance. Activating the Snowflake Dance is a free move, and once activated, you add your Charisma to the attack dice of any melee weapon you use in one hand. This bonus stacks with any bonuses you get from the Strength stat (or Agility stat if you are skilled with a weapon). You cannot use this feat, if you are holding a shield, wearing medium or heavy armor, or medium or heavy load. The Snowflake War Dance lasts you perform (dance) rank rounds. Performing the Snowflake War Dance is physically demanding – when it's over, you'll be exhausted for the next 10 minutes.

・Extraordinary Elegance (Ex): Sea Fairy increases the deflection defense equal to her charm bonus.

・Shift (Su): The sea fairy's slightly shiny form makes her true location difficult to guess. Any melee or ranged attack directed at her has a 50% chance of missing, unless the attacker has some non-sighted method that can accurately locate the Sea Nymph. The effect of Enlightenment allows the user to see the location of the sea nymph, but seeing through invisibility has no effect.

・Legendary Storm Gauze Skirt "Helena's Freedom": Charisma +6 performance bonus, immune to water damage, not affected by water pressure and ocean currents, and the wearer gains the ability to fly freely: 60 feet/wheel, good.

Counting the charisma bonus provided by the Legendary Storm Veil, Helena's Charisma stat is up to 30, with an additional +10 modifier for attack (Snowflake Wardance) and defense (Extraordinary Grace), plus her "shift" ability is equivalent to doubling defense, which is terrifying, and the two Jennifers together are no match for her.
