Chapter 19: Attack and Defense (2)
Fighting the Jackal soldiers again, Mu Kai felt a lot more relaxed.
The progress of swordsmanship is one of the reasons, but the main role is that he has become more proficient in the use of spiritual power.
In his perceptual world, every movement of the jackal, starting from the contraction and change of the muscle group at the point of force, to the transmission of power through various parts of the body, and then gradually amplified in the process of transmission, until the final explosion, where the focus point will fall, all the details are clearly presented in front of him.
He asked Kaizhe that the spiritual power of magicians is also beyond ordinary people, because communicating the elemental world also requires strong spiritual power and keen perception, but when they contact the world through the tentacles of the spirit, the feedback is very vague, as if through a thick fog, everything seems plausible.
Mu Kai's perception is intuitive and clear, and even enters the microscopic world.
His spiritual power has mutated, which may be related to his soul traveling through time and space, or it may be that his soul has mutated when it merges with that boy.
In short, it doesn't matter what caused such an outcome, the point is that this power will make him strong.
Mu Kai also felt that such an ability was definitely not the end, and as he continued to use his spiritual power, more functions would definitely be developed.
Under the shroud of spiritual power, Mu Kai could completely predict the movements of the jackal soldiers, and he was already invincible.
Of course, the stronger the opponent's strength, the greater the consumption of mental power, and it will be difficult to integrate Ainu into the microcosm when facing him.
Fortunately, even if the ordinary jackal soldier is stronger than Mu Kai, the gap is within a certain limit, and when facing the first opponent, he exerts his perception to the extreme, and through prediction, he adjusts the direction of dodge and the angle of the sword in advance, and the first sword blinds the left eye of the jackal soldier.
If it weren't for the Jackal's beastly intuition and physical instincts, this sword would have pierced directly through his brain.
Of course, it is also related to the strength and speed of Mu Kai's sword, and his combat strength is too weak, which cannot be made up for in just a few days of training.
The gnoll, who had been blinded in one eye, was instead ferocious, and let out a low roar in his throat, launched a fierce attack on Mukai, and each slash was powerful and heavy.
Mu Kai doesn't fight hard with the other party, so the Jackal's attacks always fall in the air, and the feeling of hitting the air with all his strength makes the Jackal more and more irritable, and the more flaws are exposed.
While dodging, Mu Kai kept leaving wounds on the opponent's body, all of which were parts that the armor could not protect, not fatal, but cumulatively fatal.
The jackal soldier has the physique of a beast, and Mu Kai has left more than thirty wounds on his body, and his whole body is already a blur of flesh and blood, and he knows that the blood is exhausted before he dies.
This way of fighting makes Mu Kai look like a cold-blooded psychopath.
But there is no way, the gnolls rely on their beastly instincts, making it difficult to attack their vital points.
When the scarred Jackal Soldiers fell with a sense of rage, the elites of the War Flame Mercenary Regiment had already achieved greater results.
The direction of Yari's transfer is knight, the knight profession is more defensive, he has a beautiful iris shield on his left wrist, and an emerald green elven sword on his right hand, wearing a full set of chain armor, all of which are very delicate and gorgeous equipment, at this point, he should be influenced by the elven bloodline.
When fighting, he never shouted like other fighters, and always behaved tepidly, anyway, the big shield was erected, and the safety was still guaranteed.
In terms of combat effectiveness, he is weaker than Crown, but whether it is in the quality of equipment or personal image, the deputy commander of the war has to throw Cloune a few streets.
Crawn still uses his dual saber, and his fighting style is slowly getting closer to the female orc, and he is very brave in fighting, and the soul egg brought out from Barnes has not been used up, just to make up for the lack of attack power of the weapon.
"Hey! Watch out for the back! ”
Clun shielded a jackal's weapon with his twin blades, blocking a sneak attack for Yana.
"You have to take care of it!"
The spicy mercenary kicked her opponent away, and in her hectic confusion, she didn't forget to turn back to Crowne.
She is a thief who has been transferred, but the protection of the Crystal Lion's skin armor is far inferior to that of armor of the same level, and the Thrust Dagger can only be used in close combat.
In such a melee, it is difficult for the thieves to play and their own situation is also very dangerous, Walter and several dagger fighters in the team are all fighting in conjunction with others.
With no room to maneuver, the archers need to be protected, and only a powerful archer like Gogo can navigate through the cracks of the war and wait for an opportunity to strike.
As the battle continued, the casualties of ordinary soldiers increased, and the pressure on the mercenaries increased, and casualties inevitably appeared.
The situation was even more severe to the south, where siege engines were pushed to the ramparts, and a large number of gnolls jumped onto the ramparts on platforms as high as the ramparts, inflicting heavy casualties on the defenders in a short period of time.
Tanfret personally supervised the battle at the south gate, and he immediately organized elite forces to burn the siege engines, but the defenders had already suffered heavy losses.
When the city wall fell into chaos, the jackal soldiers outside the city could let go of their hands and feet, and wreaked havoc on the city gate, the bucket was thick, more than 20 meters long, and the top was wrapped with a simple ram with thick iron sheets, carried by dozens of strong jackals, and slammed into the city gate violently, and the huge impact made the city gate and the nearby city walls tremble.
Arontenfelder brought in all the soldiers from the north and west, and the situation was slowly stabilized.
There was no sign of the Jackal Soldiers to the north and west for the time being, and it seemed that the Commander of Oyemaf intended to concentrate his forces on conquering the east and south gates, with more forces being invested in the south gate.
With the bows and arrows on the city walls, the frequency of hitting the city gate gradually slowed down, but it never stopped, and the jackals continued to bang on the door even with log shields, still refusing to give up.
By noon, the battle had been going on for nearly three hours, and both sides had suffered heavy casualties and were basically unable to fight again.
Just when everyone thought that the jackals were about to withdraw their troops, the south gate was attacked more violently.
Ojemaf, who was called Lakleman, went into battle himself, leading nearly a hundred bloody axes as vanguards, and once again slaughtered the city walls, while more gnolls carried rams and slammed the gates desperately.
Lakleman had already made up his mind that a breakthrough must be opened, otherwise the battle would be unsuccessful.
The casualties of the gnolls have exceeded five hundred, and although he does not care about the lives of those inferior jackals, he cannot take the village in front of him in one go, and the remaining troops are not enough to support the next siege battle.
Lacremont's actions in the rear did not require Barris's consent, and when Cosellus retreated with a large army, he disobeyed and stayed behind after consulting with the bloody monarch Nurka in order to sack the territory.
The soldiers in the forward base were stationed in the camp under the orders of Barris, and they would not disobey the military orders to attack here, and the other jackal mercenaries followed the army of Grecia to the east, and were now attacking the city of Grudin and Laustern with all their might, and he and his jackals were actually alone.
