Act 82: The Tale of the Turbulence and the Fish (4)
"Akane."
There was a crisp call in the woods, accompanied by hurried and messy footsteps, as if a group of people were rapidly approaching behind them. The girl with long light red hair pressed the tip of the hair behind her head with one hand, turned her head, brushed her thick eyelashes, and her almost translucent, wine-like eyes reflected the light of a burning fire not far away, and her eyes flickered with a 'crackle' spark.
Looks a little confused.
"Listen to the voices, it seems to be Celia and them. Didn't you go to Yura and Reddy, why did you come back again? Found it, or did it say that there was some trouble. ”
The maiden, known as Akane, raised her axe and spear in her hand alertly—or the war halberd. Brando would have recognized the spear here, for in addition to the pitch-black blade, which was nearly a foot long, the spindle-shaped axe blade was one of the most striking features of the weapon—the sharp edge of the blade flares out to the sides along a pale gold edge, making it particularly beautiful.
And then all things that are beautiful are dangerous.
Dubbed the 'Thunder Lance - Logos', this standing halberd was once one of the most famous drops in the Chablis region, and the must-have weapon for spear mercenaries, although it was only a level 25 halberd, but the price on several famous trading sites remained high, except because this gun has a 1% chance of giving the wielder the 'Whisper of Lightning' surround effect when attacking.
This effect is derived from the spell of the same name by the Elemental, which can inflict 10% damage on the attacker, which is almost equivalent to increasing the damage of one percent out of thin air. Therefore, there is a widely circulated tactic among the Gun Mercenaries, which first uses the Thunder Gun to play special effects, and then uses the Mercenary class's unique 'Instant Preparation' skill to instantly switch the main weapon (*), and then uses the Wind Elemental Sensing Elixir, Attribute Enhancement Crystals and other consumable items for output.
(*The difference between the mercenary class and the warrior, the warrior focuses on skill, the mercenary focuses on combat, and the latter sees weapons as tools)
This is the so-called attribute damage stream.
However, it is a mystery how the Thunder Spear - Logos, which is rumored to be in the possession of a ghost knight in the northern forests of Chablis with a fiery red soul flame burning all over his body, is a mystery. If Brando saw it at this moment, he would probably be surprised:
The first 'Thunder Lance - Logos' appeared in the Year of the Swift (377), and before the Year of Prosperity and Summer Leaves (375), the forests north of Chablis were still occupied by lizardmen bandits, didn't they?
Akane looked up, and saw several people hurrying through the woods.
She frowned.
For the girl, the Gray Wolf Mercenary Group has a different meaning, she is an orphan adopted by Cabot, and the collective is more like a huge family for her. Every time she fights, it's not for money, but to protect her family.
But she didn't seem to know what to do other than fighting. The Silver Moon Demon Wolf hits with his hands
It's just fighting—
However, in the past eleven years, even though the gray wolf mercenary group has been repeating victories, everyone's confidence has increased day by day, and it has gradually converged into a sense of honor. But that pride was met head-on tonight - Akane didn't know where these enemies came from, but there was no doubt that they were formidable opponents with a tough fighting will.
She had some bad premonitions in her heart, and the nervousness and exhaustion made her young heart pound in the girl's chest.
"What's wrong?"
"Akane, Jura has found it."
The girl let out a low sigh that was almost 'puff', and her eyes flashed. She put down her axe, shook her long hair, and then pressed her hand to the end of the hair at the back of her head and asked, "So what?" What did the regimental commander say, are we going to move on, or are we going to retreat there? ”
There was a snickering laugh from the crowd. This red-haired girl's affection for Eco is a well-known fact in the group, but several parties are kept in the dark by a very tacit understanding, but it's a pity that this secret appreciation can only be buried in the bottom of her heart - because Yura is Eco's fiancée, so her relationship with that woman is not necessarily good.
"But Yura is a star, and people are smart, so they must be more valued by the head of the regiment."
Akane snorted absently, then looked up and glared at them.
"Beware of rotten mouths." She said viciously.
But the laughter was even louder, and in the midst of good-natured laughter, someone said, "Akane, the regimental commander has decided to move to the northeast." You, Reddy, and Lorore each lead a team to clear the way. We're with you, okay? ”
Akane suddenly grinned: "Why are you with me, you have ulterior motives, right?" ”
"How so." Several people who were seen through hurriedly shook their hands.
She looked up at one of the young men, who hurriedly lowered his head, "Stupid." Akane snorted inwardly.
"Whatever you want." She turned and replied.
Several young men looked at the girl's back for a moment. But I don't understand that the girl is worried in her heart, the strength of the 'Solitaire' mercenary group is only far beyond expectations, but why didn't Commander Makaro temporarily order a retreat, but insisted on carrying out the original plan. Is it confident, Harbin City for other reasons?
Akane pressed her hand against her chest and felt her heart beat hard. But now that the regiment commander has given the order, she has no room for disobedience, and the rest of the matter is only to rely on the gun in her hand. She tightened her grip on the Thunder Spear, a gift that Eco had bought from a merchant on her fifteenth birthday, and she had already made up her mind to fight with it until the last moment, even if she lost her life.
Sometimes Akane even thinks that's all she means in life.
But she walked for a while, and then something came to mind. She turned her head and asked, "I remember that the merchant wasn't camped here, why didn't you see it?" ”
"About...... Let's get separated......"
Several young men hesitated in reply. After all, they are not close associates of the 'Sideburns' Macaro, and in fact, not everyone in the 'Gray Wolf' mercenary group knows Brando's identity, and most people still think that they are just a temporary alliance as they appear to be.
The girl frowned: "Then let's look in this direction." ”
"That's ...... All right? ”
"Why is it bad, the Gray Wolf Mercenary Group can't let people say treachery." Akane replied.
The next few people laughed again, obviously soft-hearted, but they wanted to find a high-sounding excuse, they were willing to join her, mostly just to see the young lady's bad jokes, of course, mostly from the perspective of good intentions.
But as soon as the girl's voice fell, another strange laugh sounded in the forest. The creaking sounds of the scarecrows that these mercenaries had seen in the aristocratic estates in the flat terrain of eastern Denel were hollow and boring, and full of a terrifying flavor.
Akane's face changed and she looked up.
She immediately saw the guy standing in the treetops, dressed in a black, red-rimmed robe, laughing—and on the other side of the fellow, a giant cyan beast was perched on another black pine. The monster had a sheep's head, and a pair of open wings hung downward, revealing barbed black metal chains wrapped around the wings. The Silver Moon Demon Wolf hits with his hands
"When?"
The girl's brows furrowed in shock, and although she didn't know what it was, she also knew that it must be a tricky opponent.
"Little girl." The black-robed cultist smiled and said in a shrill voice, "You said someone got separated from this side?" ”
"It's none of your business." Akane raised her axe and replied through gritted teeth.
In this attack, the Gray Wolf Mercenary Group lost a team of sentinels, including an older sister with whom she had a very good relationship. Although the mercenary has long been accustomed to life and death, this does not mean that she can get along with the enemy who caused this qiē calmly, life and death are the mercenary's choice. But the enemy is the enemy, and they don't share the sky.
"It's okay, I have a colleague who seems to have been lost in the hands of those people, so I'll take you out of breath first." The Black Fire Cultist smirked, "Abazus. ”
There was a clang, and a black chain swept towards the girl.
The girl snorted and shot the chain away. However, the response on her arm was so powerful that she was secretly surprised, and just one blow had already made her entire right arm faintly numb. However, her expression was obviously beyond the expectations of that high-level Black Fire Cultist, "Silver strength!" Macaro's subordinates are indeed Hidden Dragon Crouching Tiger, and a little girl also has such strength, which is really unimaginable! ”
"There's more to it than you can think of - Logos, Arrow of Lightning!"
Akane gritted her teeth and replied, stabbing at the guy with a backhand - a flash of lightning flashed, pulling a long arc of electricity along the blade of the axe, crackling, and the arc had crossed a distance of tens of meters and leapt towards the high-level Black Fire Cultist.
But the arc of lightning only hit the front of the black-robed man, and under an invisible shield, lightning sparks splashed, and the pine bark on the side of the high-level Black Fire Cultist immediately scorched and curled, but he himself did not move at all, and not even the corners of his robe were blown a bit.
"Magic weapons in the second form are rare." After a while, the black-robed talent snorted.
Akane was completely cold at this moment, she took a breath, and only felt cold in her hands and feet. After a moment of fear, she felt anger rise from the bottom of her heart, and when she turned around and saw that her companion was drawing his weapons and preparing to join the battle, she couldn't help but cry angrily: "Run, what are you staying for!" ”
"Akane ......"
"Captain, you?" A few young people were stunned at once.
"Run, I'm not his opponent, let the regiment commander bring someone to save me!"
"The abacus is playing very well." The high-ranking Black Fire cultist snorted, and as soon as he raised his hand, the monster opposite him immediately shot out another chain.
This time it's the young people who are targeting --
"Damn it!"
Akane grinded her teeth and threw a shot at the chain, and with a loud bang, the chain and the thunder spear immediately bounced off in two opposite directions. But the red-haired girl immediately raised her hand, and an arc of lightning flashed between her and the spear, and the next moment, the axe spear flew up and returned to her hand, as if the two had sensed each other.
"Elemental resonance!" The Black Fire cultist screamed.
