Chapter 82: Stand the Sentry

The Church of the Goddess of Wealth and Commerce, which had managed to re-establish its defense after taking out the Winter Wolves, had become fragmented under this round of indiscriminate bombardment by the enemy. Fortunately, the fighters hired this time are not bad. They had been in a similar situation in their previous adventures. So it's much easier to deal with than those winter wolves.

The sheer size of the Winter Wolves gives them the upper hand when fighting people, but it also makes them more difficult to dodge when facing area spells. Therefore, the adventurers on the side of the Church of the 'Goddess of Wealth and Commerce', although they were all blown up one by one. But few people actually lost their lives because of it. Judging from the casualties, this second round of powerful fireballs washing the ground is not as good as the previous winter wolf attack.

As the flames dissipated, golden rays of light flashed across the earth that had been ravaged by the heat before. These positive energies, under the guidance of the pastor, immediately enveloped most of the wounded in the present. Their wounds healed at a visible rate, and the charred skin cracked open after a few shakings, revealing the newly pink skin inside.

But on the other hand, the other side's covering attack caused great damage to the infrastructure in the camp. The flames of magic had dissipated, but the tent they had ignited was making a 'crackling' sound. The black smoke rising from the cold wind was like a long dragon heading straight for the sky.

And in those priests of the 'Goddess of Wealth and Commerce' seriously, the tent alone is not a big problem. However, many of the materials stored in tents or even in the open air must not be destroyed in the fire caused by fireballs. Otherwise, even if the enemy's attack is repulsed, the rest of the operation will become difficult in the absence of supplies.

In that case, it would be a big question whether the battle in the mountains would be able to maintain its original advantage. And the original plan of the church is afraid. It is even more likely to reap the consequences of failure. Such a solution is something that all members of the Goddess of Wealth and Commerce Church do not want to see.

So while dealing with the attackers who could charge at any time, the priests pumped out the air conditioning and sent people to organize the operation to extinguish the fire and rescue supplies. This reluctance to do so immediately aroused the morale of the attackers, who were likely to be overstretched by the camp's own lack of manpower. For the attackers, they are absolutely unwilling to miss this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

In addition to the fireball-throwing casters and their guards, more attackers began to appear on the side of the Goddess of Wealth and Commerce. Barrett, who saw this scene in the sentry, frowned: "When did they hide in the snow in white robes?" Didn't you find anything unusual when you made your rounds before? ”

"No! I don't know about other places. On our side, it's really no different than ever. "Claymatis. Bot then emphasized: "I'm pretty sure of that. ”

The camp in the valley was built to a very good standard. The woods on the outskirts of the camp were cut down at the beginning of the establishment of a fence zone. On the one hand, local materials were used as raw materials, and on the other hand, it was also to prevent the possible enemy from approaching the camp through the cover of the woods.

That is, those guys who suddenly appeared wanted to get to where they were before. It's an open field that has to lurk for a long time under the eyes of the watcher. If it's one or two stalkers, that's fine. Thinking of the huge number of enemies, I really don't know how much money the other party has invested in this!

"Modified Invisible Orb? Or some other spell? It looks like they've made a lot of money! Rielly said as she pulled a scroll from her belt and licked her lips with her tongue.

Among the attackers who rushed to the camp was a group of Manchu warriors dressed in animal skins. Their faces were painted with colorful oil paint, and their hair was combed into small braids that swayed in the wind. The huge blade in his hand looked very powerful. The animal skulls that form part of the armor are so terrifying.

In the face of this assault, the defenders of the camp had instead put their ranks in order - these barbarians from the Northland looked far less terrifying than those winter wolves. At the same time, one of the attackers' fireballs flew straight into the player's sentry post, apparently not wanting to let go of the nail that had been nailed into the attack path.

Barrett had already prepared for a possible attack. At the same time, the red fire in the wind and snow fell on his pupils very obviously. This time, the caster clearly had something in mind, and he was going to let his spell explode inside the building through the observation hole of the sentry. Good to solve this potential danger once and for all.

However, the other party's move gave Barrett enough opportunities. The compound longbow, which had already been lowered, was lifted again, and Barrett's pupils contracted and dilated regularly. The arrows mounted on the bow arm always follow their target. It's a pity that using a bow and arrow against spells is a very difficult thing, if it weren't for the position chosen by Barrett to be firmly watched. At the moment, I'm afraid it's an impossible task!

Luckily, Lady Luck was on the players' side this time, and Barrett shot the archers in time to pierce the fireball. Immediately, the magic flame was next to the sentry, and it exploded into a huge impact, and at the same time, a wave of heat poured into the sentry along the observation hole.

And the players in the building felt the walls around them tremble at the moment. A moment later, a hole appeared in the original wall, which was not too big. The fireball was detonated prematurely by Barrett's actions before it could enter the outpost. But it still had a huge impact on the temporary structure.

Originally, relying on the layer of earth outside the wooden wall, the effect of a fireball spell should not have penetrated the inner wall. But the bad thing is under the breath of the winter wolf before. The cold breath made the soil harder for a short time. However, if you are baptized by a fireball in a short period of time, it will immediately explode under the influence of thermal expansion and cold contraction. The peeling of the layers of soil caused the sentry to remove the outermost layer of armor and force him to use his own 'flesh and blood' to fight against the enemy's spells.

And the caster who found that his actions were not fully successful, at this time, pinched out a sulfur and prepared to cast the fireball spell again. It seems that he will not stop smashing the sentry in front of him. But when he finished reciting the spell and was about to throw his spell, he found that nothing had happened.

This is an unexpected change. Immediately, the caster who had hidden himself in the cloak was furious. He jerked his head up and accidentally caused his hood to slip off, and a thin face with a hooked nose came into Barrett's sight.

And Rielly, who was in the sentry, looked at the scroll that was already blank on it and shook her hand: "Sample, you actually dare to use the fireball technique in front of me." ”

"The previous battle in the underground has improved your spell counter level a lot! It seems that the ring I bought before has been sealed in the dust for so long. It's finally useful. After Barrett said this, he turned his gaze to the spellcaster outside, "If it weren't for the distance, I would have given that guy an arrow." But in the current situation, I won't waste arrows. ”

"The master of the school himself is a strong school of ability! Although I can't get the secret of the school yet. But under the guidance of those forerunners in the Garden of Mysteries, my ability to counter spells is even better than when I was underground! With that, Rielly pulled out another scroll.

This strange spell failure also made the attacker realize that the enemy in this outpost was a hard bone. Immediately, the barbarians in the charge also shouted at the sound of the order, and a group of men rushed to this sentry. Several of them raised their axes and slashed at the wooden wall that had already been burned by the fireball. Others chose to outflank the back and began to smash their weapons against the back door that was being held back.

Facing the attackers who want to break open this layer of turtle shell. After Barrett rewarded the brute outside the gap, he immediately commanded the dwarf: "Anvil, go to the back door and keep guard, and if the door is smashed, keep them out as much as possible." Klermatis is in charge of helping him this time, and the inertial conflict is very suitable for this kind of environment. ”

After issuing the order, Barrett continued to shoot from the gap. But this time, those brutes learned to be shrewd, and they all hid in the shooting corners, making Barrett's attack a painless harassment. And Rielly had another scroll in her hand at this moment, and it had lost its attached spell. Apparently, the attacker's mage did not give up on his supernatural abilities.

"Those guys actually want to cast a stinky cloud spell into the house, and it seems that this gap is enough for them to locate the spell." Rielly, who recognized the spell casting, complained.

Stinky clouds are cloud-type spells that often appear on the battlefield. But the current camp is in the middle of the offensive and defensive battle. It is not suitable for this type of spell. The fierce valley wind will blow away most of the cloud and mist spells in a short period of time. As a result, many spells that should have been popular on the battlefield suddenly plummeted. However, because the location of the players is indoors. Less affected. This gave them the judgment that they could use the Stinky Cloud Technique.

"Bang!" The back door of the sentry was smashed open. The brute who kicked the wreckage of the gate flew away instantly raised an inch the moment he stepped into the sentry. At this time, his skin was slightly red, and the blood vessels on his body were prominent, and he had already entered a violent state.

Just when this guy wanted to rush to the anvil, from Claudia. Auditore's words pressed his legs tightly to the ground. No matter how hard he tried to break free from this bondage, he couldn't take half a step forward. And this guy is immobilized in place, and it's not just that he personally can't move. What's more, this guy's huge size seriously affects the comrades behind him.

Roars and invectives kept coming from behind the brute. It's a pity that players who haven't learned that dialect don't know what they're talking about. However, after waiting for a few seconds, the controlled brute was still unable to move, and with a 'bang', he was pushed to the ground by his companions behind him. The barbarians began to pour into the sentry posts past their companions,

And Claudia. Auditore didn't have time to use inertial conflict to choose the next target. So she threw out her golden lion statue again. With the roar of a lion. The creature's brown fur shook and pounced on one of the foes. However, unlike in the past, the barbarian in front of him is extraordinary. One brute is enough to barely fight the lion turned into a strange thing, and two are enough to compete with it.

Seeing that the situation was wrong, the anvil immediately launched a charge, and the sledgehammer in his hand slammed into the barbarians who were about to enter the sentry post. The 'clanging' sound was the collision of the barbarian's giant axe and the steel shield on the anvil's arm, and although the barbarian was full of strength after the rage, the dwarf's stout body did not take half a step back. At the same time, the 'Ancient Virtues' war hammer in his hand smashed hard into the enemy's knees.

Fur-clad brutes may have good protection against slashing and piercing attacks. At first, there was little resistance to heavy warhammers. The kneecaps of humanoids are hard, but they are far less than steel. The sharp pain may be able to be masked by the spirit after the rage. The body that began to lose its balance fell involuntarily.

After completing the accumulation of the 'Knee Crusher' achievement, he immediately stepped forward and blocked the door. He even stood on the brute who fell to the ground with the weight of more than 200 pounds of armor, and even the strength of the opponent's fury was difficult to stand up easily. Finally, some of the tasks assigned by Barrett were completed in front of him.

At the same time, the gap on the other side of the sentry was smashed open by the attackers. The barbarians who had been aggrieved for a long time couldn't wait to rush in. And Barrett, who had already changed his weapon, lungeed forward with a knife 'Giant Mountain Break'.

The barbarian, who flashed in the cold light, immediately found himself in danger. He barely resisted with the great axe in his hand, but Barrett's strength easily broke through his defenses. He then severed the handle of his axe, sliced through his armor, and burrowed through his collarbone. Through the skin and muscles, the fascia, bones, and finally the lobes of his lungs and heart were cut open.

The irritable nature of the nerves caused the lobes of the guy's lungs to contract, and the blood gushing out of the veins was squeezed into the esophagus. Then a large amount of blood foamed out of the brute's mouth with fragments of internal organs, and the fellow fell as he spat blood. (To be continued.) )
