Act 117 Decisive Battle (Second Update, Ask for Subscription and Recommendation)
Earth Element - There are several sub-categories under the Earth Element, and although the Earth Divine Envoy is named after the Earth, Ekmen actually has the power of stone and rock with shaping and impact.
The power of stone and rock is a very inferior element among many elements, and the lethality in the early stage is strong and abnormal, but the growth in the later stage is extremely limited.
But that's enough for Brando's headaches-
However, his hand moved slightly, and it touched Akane's hand beneath him. He was slightly stunned, lowered his head, and saw that the red-haired girl was lying flat on the ground, looking at him calmly with amber eyes.
"I'm sorry."
"It's okay."
Brando hurriedly let go of his hand and rolled over and pulled out the spare dagger he had strapped to his calf. The earth god made Ikemon miss a blow, and it retracted its palm and turned in this direction - as a boss with high attack and defense, its dexterity is not high - not to mention that the larger the size, the higher the punishment for dexterity.
Ekmen looked a little clumsy when he turned, which gave the two youngsters a chance.
"Can you move?" Brando asked, drawing his dagger. Akane sat up and patted the dust on her breastplate, but did not answer, but nodded slightly.
"Be careful, that monster is very strong. The ingredient it has mastered is the power of stone and rock, so beware of its shaping attacks-"
As soon as he finished speaking, as if to prove his words, the earth god made Ekmen howl suddenly. It lifted its right forelimb upward, and the limb was lithified in an instant, and the stony part quickly spread upwards and became extremely large in an instant, and the monster roared as if it were holding a rock greatsword nearly ten meters long.
Then take a shot in the direction where the two of them were.
"Get out of the way"
Brando and Akane shot left and right, and the rock greatsword struck behind them before exploding. At that moment, it was as if the entire forest had jumped, and a shockwave swept in all directions along the flashpoint, quickly catching up with the two who were still fleeing for their lives, the red-haired girl snorted, and Brando vomited a mouthful of blood.
He glanced at his attributes and found that he had lost more than 30 lives in just one moment. It's close to the attack power of the Queen's Ring. What's more, now he has silver-level strength, even if it is the Wind Queen Ring, it will cause at most half of the damage to him, and the power of this blow can be imagined.
"Mr. Lord, are you alright?"
The forest was filled with smoke and dust, and Akane's voice came from the other side of the smoke.
"It's fine."
Brando coughed, but his alertness was already at its highest. The blood of the Earth Messenger comes from the goddess Gaia, and the ability to melt into stone is one of her innate abilities. Especially in this environment, if it hides underground and prepares for a sneak attack, he is afraid that he will suffer a big loss if he is not careful.
It's just that he was a little strange, he remembered that the cooldown time of melting into the stone was obviously ten minutes, how could he lose the other party's breath so quickly. Not to mention ten minutes at this time, I'm afraid not a minute.
But at this time, the two people who were cautious and vigilant in the smoke and dust suddenly heard an exclamation from outside the field.
"Métisa"
Brando's heart tightened.
……
Woo woo woo -
When the horn sounded across the battlefield, Yukhkill, the leader of the lizardmen bandits, was in a state of tangle. It wasn't as well-informed as Conrad, and could recognize it as the famous Silver Elf Legion by its distinctive voice alone.
But that wasn't bad, for from its vantage point it was easy to see a row of elven warriors in silver armor on the ruins, with silver hair and a shiny double-headed sword. Even if it's a fool, it knows where the other party comes from.
His own lizardmen's offensive was quickly thwarted - no, that shouldn't have been described as frustrated. It was a one-sided retreat, and the impact of the silver elves was terrifying, and they were like ten silver shining blades. Cut into your own subordinates like slicing butter, in and out of a no-man's land.
If Conrad's dark mercenaries hadn't caught up in time, I'm afraid the battle would have turned into a rout just now. However, the Silver Elves did not suffer much from the counterattack, when the counterattack between the lizardmen and the dark mercenaries had only just been organized. They threw out a handful of strange crystals and retreated under the cover of the explosion.
As a result, after a round of exchanges, Yukhkir found himself losing almost a tenth of his forces in just one direction on the left flank.
The lizard threw its dagger to the ground viciously, it was an outlaw, and its desperate defeat only provoked its madness. It could see that Conrad was afraid of these silver elves like snakes and scorpions, but it was not afraid, wasn't it just a group of warriors with silver strength? The Silver Elves are no more than that.
The second-tier standing army of the Cruz Empire has this strength, and it is not that Yukhkir has not dealt with such an army. It was originally a criminal who had absconded from the Empire, or had been exiled.
It squinted its eyes and observed for a moment, and soon noticed a problem. The leader of the lizardmen bandits immediately summoned his lieutenant and asked him to lead a group of men around the ruins to attack - although it was taboo to temporarily divide troops on the battlefield, Yukhkir found that the other side's men seemed to be thirty or forty back and forth.
It decided to take a gamble and see if its guess was correct.
But what Yukhkir didn't know was that at this time it was a solid ally. Conrad, whom it thought it could rely on, was ready to flee.
The lizardmen crossbowmen are finally assembled. After a brief adjustment of range, they captured a vantage point beyond the ruins. The rain of arrows quickly flew into the air, and then whined down - covering their own men and enemies in range.
They don't know what aiming is, what an extended strike is.
Arrows and shafts 'snapped' against the shelter as if it were raining, and the silver elf Namenes waved her hand back. The order to retreat back was decisively given. Seeing his gesture, the mercenaries behind him immediately put away their crossbows and bows and left. After that, the broken elven warriors.
After a short battle, casualties were already incurred between the two sides. Many of the mercenaries were shot, and Sanfud was stabbed in the final hand-to-hand encounter. The knife was stabbed in the artery of the young man's thigh, and if it wasn't for the timely stop of the bleeding by Namenes, he would have gone to see Lord Martha by this time.
The mercenaries made a simple stretcher for him, and the young man lay weakly on the stretcher, and he gritted his teeth so that he did not groan. Death is a sacred and peaceful thing for mercenaries, they are not afraid of death, but they also do not abandon their companions at will.
But Sanfud turned his head to see a mercenary he knew running through the rubble.
"Isn't that guy from the Tiger Sparrow?" The thought crossed his mind.
"Mr. Namenes—"
As soon as the mercenary saw the battle situation here, he immediately shouted from afar: "Captain Tiger Sparrow saw that a lizardman was interspersing behind the ruins, and he asked what do you think?" ”
His words surprised everyone.
Outflank? It was the worst that the young lord had predicted, and they couldn't help but think of what Brando had said when he was setting up his tactics. The young man told them that it was best to treat the situation as if it were the worst, so that they would not be in a hurry.
The silver elves didn't say anything about this, but the mercenaries were a little unimpressed. Most mercenaries believe in the twins of fate, but also the givers of luck and misfortune - Alice and Elaine, of course, in today's world when God has turned into stars and laws, this belief is more akin to a kind of spiritual sustenance.
But in any case, the psychology of a mercenary as an individual and a gambler is very similar in many cases.
But now, it's a prophecy.
"Human, what did he say?" Namenes asked rhetorically.
"The captain said that unless we divide our forces to intercept us, we will be attacked from our backs." The mercenary replied loudly.
"That's no problem," the Silver Elf Commander nodded, "But the question is, who will be in command?" ”
"Captain Tiger Sparrow thinks Mr. Sanfford can ......" The mercenary's gaze fell on the only stretcher, and suddenly he found that he could not speak the second half of his sentence.
Among the men under Brando who can participate in the battle at this moment, the strongest and most experienced are undoubtedly Tiger Sparrow and Namenes. Then there were the elven princesses Metisa, Akane, and himself, but now all five of them couldn't pull away at all, and the only thing left with a little prestige was Sanfud, who had just joined the group.
This is how Brando assigns his tactics. But the current situation made everyone a little dumbfounded, Sanfud was seriously injured and out of the battle sequence, which was even worse than imagining.
The mercenaries couldn't help but look at each other.
"I'll go, Mr. Commander," a voice like a silver bell suddenly came from the ruins behind it. Everyone looked back and saw Miss Merchant, holding a sword in her hands and dragging behind her, just as she had dragged the masonry hammer in the old mansion of the Buchebrandt.
She stared at the others with wide eyes, and her bright brown eyes seemed to be full of words:
May I?
Of course not.
Namenes shook his head, if this was a day ago, the Silver Elf Commander could have thought about it. But what the eldest lady did last night was so shocking that he couldn't let her treat the fight as a child's play.
"Then let me go, Mr. Commander." A girl stepped out from behind Roman, pressed her shawl with one hand on her neckline, and raised her head to look at everyone present.
Namenes looked at Antitina.
"I've read Feng? Hammanin's Code of Light Infantry Conduct, Mr. Commander. Besides, at this time, I think this should also be my responsibility. She replied.
