Chapter 142 Legendary foreshadowing?
Beneath Belial, a large number of giant demons gathered on the ground. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
Strangely, these giant demons all hung their tall heads and fell to the ground.
Human-sized demons stood on their backs, screaming shrill from their mouths.
Their limbs were unusually slender, not as strong as the other demons, and they had no wings on their backs, and they seemed to be covered with the word "weak".
But their claws are very long, and the claws reflect a sharp cold light, as if they can tear through everything!
The demon's face looks similar to that of a human, but if you look closely, you can see that its face is ......
There is no nose, ears and eyebrows, only a pair of blood-red eyes and a mouth, which looks particularly weird!
They leapt to their feet, and their entire bodies seemed to turn into a black beam!
Beams of light burst out from under the city walls, and they jumped over the city walls more than ten meters high in one leap!
And all that's left in the air is their black afterimage!
The black figure enters the fray with great speed, and with each soldier that passes by, it pierces their hearts with their razor-like claws, or smashes their heads to pieces!
……
A black afterimage shuttled through the battlefield, and finally stopped at Xu Ke's side, stabbing his claws at the chest of a soldier next to Xu Ke, wanting to penetrate his chest!
Although Xu Ke was half-sitting on the ground and was not in a fighting state, he also sensed a trace of murderous aura.
So he looked up, only to see a black afterimage behind a soldier!
The air that was stirred up by the swing of the claws was as sharp as a knife, cutting Xu Ke's face fiercely!
Xu Ke subconsciously stabbed out his spear, although his eyes couldn't catch the black shadow, but his spear spun in the air and twisted in the direction of the stab, like a lightning shot stabbed into the middle of the black shadow!
With a "poof", the sharp tip of the spear pierced the black shadow, and the demon, which was invisible due to its high-speed movement, gradually condensed in the air.
The tip of the spear pierced its chest, and the demon's razor-sharp claws were so close to the soldier's back that it was close to piercing the soldier from behind!
The soldier finally sensed that something was wrong at this moment, and hurriedly turned around, but when he turned around, he saw a ...... with only eyes and mouth
A face that is almost terrifying!
And the owner of this face was looking at himself with bared teeth, his right claw stretched out, and the sharp claws were already close to the leather armor on his body!
The soldier subconsciously took a step back, cold sweat oozing from his forehead.
Xu Ke used force in his hand, and the spear pierced the ordinary human-sized demon entirely.
The demon's body trembled a few times, black blood flowed from his mouth, and his blood-red eyes gradually lost their brilliance.
The soldier looked at Xu Ke on the side with palpitations, and said with some gratitude: "Thank you, sir...... If it weren't for my husband, I'd have been a corpse. ”
Xu Ke shook his head, signaling that the other party didn't have to care.
He raised his hand and drew his spear, intending to look elsewhere, this new demon could not catch his form with the naked eye, but he had a weapon that would definitely hit the heart when he shot him, so he could be said to be the nemesis of this demon.
But he had just pulled the spear out of the demon's chest, the demon he thought was dead...... But it suddenly erupted!
Its dim eyes suddenly flashed blood-red again, and it roared at the soldier, swinging its sharp claws!
Although Xu Ke was shocked at the first time, he subconsciously stabbed out his spear again.
But there is always a reaction time between the generation of the thought and the actual action.
And just as Xu Ke reacted, the demon's claws had already reached the soldier's chest!
With the sound of leather being torn, the soldier flew upside down!
And Xu Ke's spear has only now penetrated the demon's chest again!
This time, the demon spat out a mouthful of blood, and his entire body collapsed to the ground like mud - this time it must have been dead.
But Xu Ke didn't bother to confirm whether the demon was dead or not, so he hurriedly ran to the soldier who flew out upside down.
The soldier fell to the bluestone pavement of the city wall, apparently unconscious.
The emotions of chagrin and self-blame instantly surged into Xu Ke's heart.
But when he actually got to the soldier and leaned down to check the soldier's injuries, he was stunned.
A terrifying hole was torn open in the chest of the leather armor on the soldier's body, and Xu Ke didn't need to look at it to imagine that the wound under the leather armor must be shocking.
But when he actually looked over, he found that the bare chest in the crack in the leather armor was intact, and there was not even a trace of blood.
……
The fighting on the walls was incessant, and thanks to the superiority in numbers, the soldiers gradually gained an advantage over the demons climbing from the walls.
Bands of soldiers raised their spears and pierced the demons' chests completely, but there were also demons who could kill several soldiers even when they were dying.
A massive demon was impaled through the chest under the siege of a group of heavily armored soldiers, and fell like a hill.
But at the same time as this demon fell, in the dim space, a black shadow burst out from behind the tall demon, and instantly burst into the formation of the soldiers!
Before the soldiers could react, the black shadow had already moved in front of the leading soldier and pierced through the soldier's heavy armor with a single blow!
And after a successful blow, it disappeared almost out of thin air!
The faces of the soldiers have changed drastically!
"Captain!" "Captain!" "Captain!"
But the soldier, who was called the captain by the rest of the crowd, stood motionless in front of him after hearing the call of his subordinates.
The soldiers surrounded him, as if they were afraid that the tall body of the captain in front of them would collapse in the next moment.
Unexpectedly, the captain suddenly waved his hand at them, signaling that they did not have to step forward.
“…… I'm fine. ”
Then, in the astonished eyes of everyone, he turned around.
His resolute face was a little pale at the moment, but he could still faintly see the color of blood, and he had a very strange expression on his face.
He frowned at his chest, the heavy, hard armor on his chest had already been shattered by a demon's blow.
Inside the armor was a piece of leather armor, a large piece of leather armor on the chest of the armor that was sunken in and covered with fine cracks, giving people a tattered appearance.
But it was not broken.
The whole leather armor was brown, and it was too badly broken to see itself, but you could faintly see a knife carved on it.
Seems to be what the mark.
……
Because they were worried that the staff and Lei Ruoya would be attacked by those demons that appeared later, and the battle situation was anxious, and the army could not allocate manpower to protect the two, the staff and the two brothers and sisters of the Lei family moved to the interior of the city tower.
The light provided by the oil lamps in the tower was extremely limited, and the faces of everyone in the tower were a little pale.
A soldier hurriedly walked in through the door, saluted the two adults in the building with a very standard military salute, and then quickly reported: "Our army has a great advantage on the frontal battlefield, and those demons have somehow attacked the city of Belia only from this section of the southern wall. Therefore, the number of them that can climb the castle tower at the same time is extremely limited, and the Heavy Infantry Banner Regiment, with the assistance of two Light Infantry Banner Regiments, has basically stopped the demons attacking the city head-on, and the battle loss ratio is controlled between five to one to four to one. ”
Hearing this, the staff nodded - in terms of the demon's strong individual quality, it was not easy for an army in a small border town like theirs to control the battle damage ratio at such a low level.
But then the soldier said with some anxiety: "But those small demons that suddenly appeared were a great problem, and they roamed the battlefield with impunity, causing great chaos on the battlefield. In this short period of ten minutes...... Nearly 100 brothers have died at their hands.
And according to statistics...... Most of the brothers killed by these demons were important people in the position of squad leader!
Two adults...... If we continue like this, we are afraid that those demons who are attacking the city from the front will not defeat us, and these small demons will gradually eat away at us! ”
The staff thought for a while, frowned, and said, "Is there no solution?" ”
The soldier shook his head, "Not yet, my lord. This demon is extremely fast, and its size is about the same size as ours, and it is impossible to find any clues in the darkness among the crowd. And the main combat force on our city walls is the heavy armored soldiers, so they can't catch the existence of these little guys at all. At the moment, we have not found any effective workaround.
The gun-wielding adventurer outside seemed to be very capable of dealing with such demons, but he was only one person after all...... But I don't know how many of those demons there are, and they are all mixed in the battlefield, and they retreat immediately after the first blow, and the lord can't take care of everyone.
In addition......"
Speaking of this, the soldier suddenly hesitated, and then glanced at Lei Ruoya and Lei Yang on the side.
Lei Ruoya was stunned, and she didn't know why the other party looked at her and her brother.
The staff was also a little puzzled: "What else?" ”
The soldier heard the staff's question, and quickly replied respectfully:
"The two adults must also know that the common attack methods of this demon are to dig out the heart and smash the human brain, the means are extremely cruel and cruel, and the claws are extremely sharp, and it is almost impossible for the person they attack to survive.
However, I have heard of people who have been raided by such demons...... survived. ”
The staff frowned, knowing that there must be a clue to this: "Why? ”
The soldier glanced at the brother and sister on the side again, and then said, "It is said that ...... The surviving brothers were wearing leather armor with the logo of the Jiangnan leather workshop. ”
"That leather armor seems to be able to block the demon's full force."
The staff was stunned, and then looked at Lei Ruoya on the side with an extremely frightened look: "Miss Lei Ruoya...... You had long expected this to happen, so you asked us to order the leather armor made by Mr. Lei Yang a few months ago? ”
"......" Lei Ruoya was stunned for a moment, and then showed an unfathomable smile.
Seeing this, the staff couldn't help but show a look of reverence, but Lei Ruoya just waved her hand lightly to show that she didn't care.
"Where, Where, ......"
Lei Yang on the side saw that the smile on Lei Ruoya's face seemed to be a little stiff, and he felt that something was wrong.
So he quietly stepped forward and whispered, "Ruoya...... Did you really expect this? ”
“…… If I could even think of such a thing, I'd played this game ten times. ”
Lei Yang was shocked: "Is it just luck that the current situation is happening!?" ”
Not to be outdone, Lei Ruoya fought back: "I asked my brother, you to open a shop outside the barracks to sell leather armor, just to let you sell your body...... I mean, to attract the attention of others with a commodity whose price is far from the value, and then let the army come forward to negotiate with me, and I will rely on the price advantage to make them order and deliver the goods reasonably, so as to create a reasonable opportunity for you to sneak into the barracks to ventilate the news and disturb the tryst between the two staff and city lords! How did I know that the leather armor you created could work wonders at such a time, my brother!? ”
Lei Yang was a little dizzy when he heard such a long explanation, but he quickly realized the point: "Since Ruoya has thought so much, I didn't expect such a situation to occur...... Then why do you still admit it with a dead face!? ”
Lei Ruoya's eyes widened and looked at her brother innocently: "Brother, you actually said that your lovely sister is dead-faced......
“……”
Seeing that the two siblings suddenly muttered in a low voice, the staff and soldiers couldn't help but be a little stunned.
The staff member interrupted the conversation between the two siblings with a small cough, and said solemnly, "I'm sorry to interrupt you...... I want to ask such leather armor, Mr. Lei Yang, do you still have it there? ”
He looked at Lei Yang with some embarrassment: "Because I didn't understand Miss Lei Ruoya's deep meaning before, so we didn't really distribute that batch of leather armor in our army, plus the next batch of goods Mr. Lei Yang, you only delivered it tonight...... Because so much happened during this period, we didn't find the leather armor ......."
Lei Yang scratched his head a little embarrassed: "Lord of staff...... I'm sorry, but we don't have this leather armor anymore. ”
The staff's eyes suddenly showed a look of disappointment, but Lei Ruoya waved her hand heroically at this moment and said loudly:
"It's okay, I'll let him go back and build it right away."
The other three present all opened their eyes wide and looked at Lei Ruoya with strange faces.
Lei Yang thought about it and complained: "...... Asking a blacksmith to improvise equipment on the battlefield is a bit too much just to think about it. ”
Hearing this, Lei Ruoya angrily reprimanded: "I'm soliciting customers for you, my brother!" Brother, don't talk so much....... Just wash my body and pick up the guests obediently! ”
The elder brother looked at his younger sister, and the younger sister glared back at the elder brother.
The elder brother was silent, thinking that his sister's words really sounded the same as the old bustard. (To be continued.) )
