Chapter XXVIII

The chase and escape battle on the plains lasted for a whole afternoon. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE。 It was only then that Norhan's side really encountered some strong resistance. Those Lucia nobles have no intention of dedicating themselves to the country, but when it comes to their own lives, of course, they will show far more strength than when they deal with errands.

Although among the nobles of Lucia, there are not a few moths that are not attached to that constitution to suck blood. But just because they are moths doesn't mean they're waste. In fact, they have a better foundation and resources than the vast majority of poor people, and as long as they are not born mentally retarded, their achievements will definitely surpass those of the same gifted poor - it is true that the black lead rank cannot be stacked up with resources, but the hematite rank can always be sharpened with time and resources as long as they are not too lazy.

In addition, most of the personal soldiers under their command are selected from their own territory, because the lives of the whole family are closely related to the main family, so loyalty is definitely not a problem. At the same time, unlike the ordinary soldiers who were registered, the aristocratic officers were also willing to spend money on their private soldiers—in fact, at least half of the military pay they withheld was spent on their own private soldiers.

After all, these private soldiers are the armed forces that truly belong to them, and in the past, they were an important guarantee for them to compete for power and even obtain meritorious service. Now it has become an important guarantee for them to escape the fate of captivity. Between the swords and swords along the way, both sides of the war are growing all the way.

Especially the Lucian nobles who fled, they also knew how to use the resources in their hands from the beginning of the escape. Once they found that the number of pursuing Nohan soldiers was comparable to their own, they would also organize their men to find an opportunity to launch a surprise attack - such a choice would be successful once or twice, enough to keep the remaining Nohan pursuers from acting until reinforcements were obtained. Buy enough time for the Lucian to flee.

"Joseph, how are you?" Looking at the wounded man from Borem in front of him, Barrett immediately stopped and took out the bandage from his still intact waist bag. Before that, Barrett had already pursued and captured the Lucia nobles alive in the 3 sets of the outfits, killing and maiming their private soldiers.

However, as the pursuit continued, both the fleeing Lucians and the pursuing Nohans became farther and farther away from the original camp, and their forces became more and more dispersed. Naturally, the top brass of the Nohan army, who found out that the situation was wrong, gave orders to the junior officers to gather the ranks. And Barrett, who consciously had already earned about the same amount, although he did not have a direct army, gave up continuing to catch up and turned around to deal with the work of gathering the team.

As a member of the Boreham Collar, Barrett, who has his back to the big tree to enjoy the shade, naturally understands what he needs to give. The stronger the Boreham Territory, the more help it can give. And what he can do now is to save the strength of the Boreham Territory as much as possible, in addition to killing the enemy as much as possible to earn meritorious deeds.

The aboriginal soldier in front of him, who was sitting in place with his thighs in his arms, said with a somewhat distorted face: "Sir, leave me alone, I'm afraid that the companions in front of me need your help even more." ”

"Okay, you take the things first, I'll go ahead and have a look." As he said this, Barrett threw the drug-soaked bandage in his hand directly into the arms of the aboriginal soldier. Then he sped away in the direction his head was heading.

In this western continent where the means of communication are relatively primitive, it is not easy to reunite the teams that have been scattered. Especially now, when the battle has not completely stopped, it is a double test of experience and luck.

"Sonorous!" The cold light from the 'Broken Peak' stopped stretching forward. In front of Barrett, an unknown warrior who had wrapped himself in pitch-black armor blocked Barrett's attack with the golden spirit shield in his hand.

The warrior, armed with a giant shield in one hand and a heavy axe in the other, had previously slashed several elite soldiers from Bolim Territory on the ground with an axe in his hand. Let Barrett, who saw this scene, choose to save Zhao without saying a word. Unfortunately, his keen battlefield instincts cost Barrett's surprise attack.

However, even if he raised the huge shield in his hand in time to avoid eating Barrett's attack with his armor, Barrett's enormous power accompanied by a charge knocked the pitch-black tin can back five or six steps in a row before he could regain his footing, and the lawn was trampled out of a series of deep pits by his footsteps, which had become heavier and heavier from the impact, revealing the yellow-brown dirt beneath the greenery.

"Looks like we've finally encountered a hard stubble." Before Barrett could finish his words, the 'heavy axe man' in front of him also rushed forward with the axe. At this moment, his roar came from the fully enclosed helmet, and it seemed that because of the resonance with the helmet material, the sound also became like the roar of a tiger.

Although Barrett himself did not have any problems, the aboriginal soldiers around him began to fight one by one. Seeing this scene, Barrett's head flashed: "Threat and roar? Then the top of his head should be the wailing skull.

Roar of Intimidation is a berserk force at the disposal of Barbarians: Barbarians who master this skill can perform a Terrorizing skill check on adjacent enemies. If he succeeds in demoralizing the opponent, the enemy will tremble 1d4+1/Barbarian for every 5 points x 6 seconds for every 1d4+1/barbarian check result.

Combined with the helmet's broken style and the enemy's performance, Barrett naturally recognized the wailing skull. If this strange helmet falls into the hands of ordinary people, it will only give their intimidation skills a +5 performance bonus. And if it falls into the hands of a Barbarian with Intimidating Roar, in addition to the previous abilities, it will also be able to gain additional Intimidating Roar is the number of times the Barbarian uses it. It can be said that the cost performance has been greatly improved.

Since it was a rage, it could only be launched after the rage, and sure enough, the movement of the enemy in front of him became more rapid than before, even under the influence of the load-bearing armor, Barrett could also sense the change in the strength of the other party: "The barbarian who passed the heavy armor, it should be the heavy armor." ”

Some barbarians despised the leather armor worn by their fellow citizens, and they excelled at wearing heavy armor, and the heavy armor forged by these civilized people allowed them to be better protected in battle.

Due to the heavy armor they wear, these barbarians have abandoned many of the original characteristics of their profession - fast movement, intuitive evasion, perceptual traps, and mastery of intuitive evasion.

However, correspondingly, they have also developed special tactics suitable for heavy armor:

Unyielding Stance: Heavy Armor has +1 for Charge Skill Check, and the same bonus applies to Charge Skill and Reflection Immunity to Stomp Ability. He has +1 defense against charging attacks, and +1 attack and damage when attacking a charging opponent.

Swift Armor: From level 2 onwards, Heavy Armor can move faster while wearing Medium or Heavy Armor. When wearing medium or heavy armor, the heavy armor's movement speed is increased by 5 feet, but not more than the base movement speed.

Iron Armor Unloading: From level 3 onwards, heavy armor warriors learn to use armor to avoid deadly attacks. While wearing Heavy Armor, he has +1 Defense against Heavy Attack Confirmation Checktime, and +1 for every 3 levels after level 3 (up to +6 at level 18).

Advanced Swift Armorer: From level 5 onwards, the Heavy Armorer's land speed is 10 feet faster than the normal speed of his kind. He can gain this bonus when wearing any armor, including heavy armor. However, he still loses this bonus when he is overloaded. This markup is applied first when calculating velocity corrections due to load or armor piercing. This bonus stacks with any other effect that increases the Barbarian's land speed.

To put it bluntly, this change is to abandon the original barbarian's universal ability, and instead choose to specialize in frontal combat such as battlefields. For Barrett, it is a little more difficult to deal with than the usual savages, and of course, judging from the performance of the man in front of him, it is indeed only a little.

As his strength increased, the speed of the heavily armored soldier's blade in front of him also increased a lot, and the battle axe roared and tore through the air and slashed straight at Barrett. In the face of such an attack, he turned around with a stride, and the 'broken peak' in his hand accurately hit the handle of the battle axe with an upward hook.

The sharp Star Iron War Knife was not something that ordinary materials could compete with, and even if Barrett didn't use the 'Stone Dragon Flow' martial arts, the steel axe handle was also easily cut off - the axe that had lost its foothold immediately flew towards Barrett due to inertia.

But the flying axe was far from a threat to Barrett. He just kicked his feet to speed himself up, and he managed to leave the thing behind. Immediately after that, with a horizontal slash of the waist, he tore through the dark black armor that the opponent relied on for survival.

The collision of the blade and the armor sent sparks in all directions. The little sparks drifted away in the wind and lost their light before they hit the ground. And where the spark came from, the metal cuirass was twisting and deforming under the edge of the 'Broken Peak', and then the blood flowed down the blade to the hilt - the heavy armor in front of him had a relatively strong control over his muscles, and the tight muscles after contracting successfully pressed the blood vessels to stop the loss of blood.

When dealing with enemies who only deal a small amount of damage each time, this heavy armorer's muscle control can indeed be extraordinary. It's a pity that he met Barrett, activating the surging Barrett to take a step forward, and the 'broken peak' in his hand ignored the other party's muscle fascia comparable to cowhide armor and continued to move forward.

The 'click' sound was a wail made when the spine was severed, although the guy seemed to be planning to slam Barrett with his shield while pulling out the spare weapon from his belt after his main weapon was destroyed. But it's a pity that he didn't wait for those spare weapons to be pulled out after all, and he was successfully cut in half by Barrett.

After dealing with this relatively troublesome enemy, Barrett turned his gaze to the fellow natives behind him: "How's it going?" Can you still walk? ”

"First, sir, I'm fine." "I'm new too." "There shouldn't be much wrong with walking."

It took a long time, but Barrett managed to get back to camp with the team he had found before the sun went down. Here, Barrett also saw a lot of officers from different territories leading his soldiers back one after another.

After the day's fighting, Lucia's camp was in shambles, and it could even be said that it had lost its function as a camp. However, some materials that look good can be reused.

"Okay, you guys rest here, I still have work to do." Barrett, who had settled the aboriginal soldiers, said so on his lips, but in fact he went to someone to identify the personal trophies he had captured in the past few days of fighting.

"Barrett, you kid still made some good money this time!" The alchemist in front of him put down the glasses in his hand and began to introduce the props in front of him.

Originally, the +1 Frost Plague Rope was made from blue-dyed leather. In addition to providing cold damage to its projectiles, the Sling's wielder can also use it to fire a magic snowball for a ranged contact attack with a maximum range of 40 feet, 3 times a day. Snowballs deal 7-12 non-lethal cold damage and fatigue the target. The Fatigue effect lasts until the non-lethal damage is removed. However, this exhaustion effect does not exhaust an already tired creature.

The +1 light steel shield then has a dead gray skin wrapped in a dead gray skin, called the Corpse Skin Shield. Once a day, its user can animate Skinskin into a human zombie under his control, as if he had cast a spell to create undead creatures. Zombies can exist for 5 minutes before turning back into skin. If the spirit is destroyed or disappears after 5 minutes due to the inability to reach the shield, covering the corpse of a medium-sized humanoid can recreate a skin.

The next eight dragon bone prophecy sticks engraved with runes can be used as divination equipment. Using them can increase the accuracy of divination and prophecy by five percent. At the same time, you can also randomly select a certain exemption test (Tenacity, Reflex, Will) of the holder every day to get +3 luck bonus. Of course, if the wielder has more than one set of Dragonbone Prophecy Lots, there is only one exemption that can be added.

The final calling whistle emits a high-pitched, shrill sound. Once a day, when the user blows the whistle, his mount or animal companion will be immediately teleported to a safe space of the user's choice, which must be within 30 feet of the user's use.

However, the creature must be within 1 mile, and any effect that can hinder or restrict teleportation can also hinder the whistle's effect. Whistles have no effect unless they are associated with a specific mount or animal companion. Making this connection is a special ritual that takes 10 minutes. As long as the ritual is performed, the user is free to have a new mount or animal companion connect with the whistle. (To be continued.) )
