Chapter 83 Strategic Shift
After taking out the first invading brute, Barrett stepped forward. The waving 'Broken Peak' immediately split the other brute who arrived after him into two pieces, with his helmet and skull. But then he felt his eyebrows skip a beat, and Barrett, who couldn't do it in that position, immediately rolled back into the sentry.
Almost at the same time, two red lights suddenly flashed. Near where Barrett was, the wood suddenly burst into flames. Seeing this, he was glad to think: 'Scorching rays? It seems that it can't be plugged in the gap. In that kind of environment, even the sword barrier is not easy to use! ’
At the same time, the anvil blocking the back door has also experienced a baptism of swords and axes. Fortunately, the full-body plate armor created by Seiko successfully withstood the test. But even so, the anvil stumbled and choked back, and the blood oozing from the armor made the scarred metal plate look extremely hideous.
Finding out that the situation is not right, Klaimatis. Bot immediately activated the wand and gave Anvil a rejuvenation. Then, while putting away the magic wand, he brandished his mace and shield and went up to it. It's a pity that when he didn't learn the 'Divine Power' spell, the priest still struggled to face the rampaging barbarians, even with the blessing of the 'Zoo' series of spells.
That's why I just stayed in the back door for 6 seconds, and Klaymatis. Bot retreated in acknowledgment. She knew that she could not withstand such a fire—that a situation where no one could afford to open up needed more than just favorable terrain. At the same time, there must be a strong man who can control the situation.
Lalu, who found that the situation in the rear was getting worse and worse, also reversed the direction of his precautions. Immediately after that, he flew up and slashed at the waist of one of the barbarians with the scythe in his hand. The enchanted Scorpion Scythe easily slices through the enemy's simple fur armor. Unfortunately, after the skin and fascia were incised. The small, one-handed scythe was immediately blocked by the muscles of the enemy's waist and abdomen.
The cat boy with little strength sees that the situation is not good. Bend over and recharge immediately. Then it was as if a pressed spring was released. A flying kick into the enemy's crotch is a flying kick. With the reaction force of this flying kick, Lalu managed to pull out the inaccessible weapon before the brute could clamp the scorpion scythe with his muscles.
After this confrontation just now, the cat boy understands that the flesh of these barbarians in front of him has begun to alienate under the perennial exercise. The original muscle fibers become vertically and horizontally connected, internal and external, forming a very special wide network structure. You may not be able to see anything in normal times, but you can be as strong as a thick leather when you are hit.
Although it is difficult to compete with real armor by virtue of this physical mutation alone, the protective effect is not inferior to that of ordinary breastplates after putting a layer of leather armor on the outside. After the two are added up, for the cat boy who lacks strength. It's a bit of a head-scratching!
In fact, Barrett's 'Muscle Armor' ability is based on the same principle. It's just that compared to these barbarians, this ability that has been improved by generations of knights is relatively more efficient. Although the difference between the two is not small at present, it cannot be denied that they are related.
Normally, to deal with these solid guys, you either use absolute force to slash them with a single knife (or violent thrashing), or use the technique of going from nothing to the inside, and cut along the texture of the opponent's muscles. And Barrett, who kills people like chopping vegetables at the gap, should be regarded as the type of both. His strength is strong enough to violently break through enemies, and his skills can be fine-tuned after the blade is in the flesh. Coupled with the sharp ancient weapon of 'Broken Peak', it is naturally invincible to kill people.
Can it only be aimed at the enemy's joints like an anvil?' Laru immediately found a solution that wasn't the answer. After all, humanoids often don't cover the muscles at key points, which are usually the junctions of tendons and ligaments. So the effect of that layer of muscle armor is not very obvious.
However, knee pads and bones of joints are not so easy to deal with. If it's in the fighting ring. Cats can be proficient in joint skills. But now this chaotic battle scene did not give him the conditions to play. So after hesitating for a while. Lalu immediately gave up on dealing with a brute alone, which was inefficient.
I saw him pounce, and then he rolled like a bowling ball against the wooden floor of the sentry. Then he rolled behind a brute who had already suppressed the anvil. The catboy who stood up in the group held the 'scorpion sickle' tightly, and twisted his arm with a small waist. With a single brush, he bypassed the knee pad and cut the ligament at the brute's knee from behind.
Immediately afterwards, the brute, who had already numbed the anvil's left arm, immediately weakened his feet, and the whole person seemed to lose his balance and seemed to kneel. Finding that the situation was reversed, the anvil immediately seized the opportunity, and the war hammer in his hand slammed into the opponent's head. Then the skull hat on the guy's head was easily shattered.
At the same time, the violent impact also made him unable to distinguish between up and down, left and right. At the same time, the limbs began to be a little disobedient. Taking this opportunity, Lalu stepped on the guy's back and slit the throat with the 'scorpion scythe' in his hand - which ended the guy's life.
Although there was no special rehearsal, the cooperation between Lalu and Anvil looked pretty good. This time, the cat boy seems to have made a temporary cameo appearance in the way the loiterers fight. When facing a well-defended enemy, it would be too much effort for him to choose to fight head-on.
However, only one brute was solved here, and two more came in from outside the door. It's a bit of a headache for players. If it weren't for Clematis. Bot was slashed in the shoulder by the opponent, and used the assistance of magic to knock down one, and the scene was immediately about to fall into the disadvantage.
At this moment, Rielly is already completely competing with the enemy spellcasters outside the camp. As the aura of spells on one scroll after another dissipated, the spells cast by the enemy failed again and again. Don't look at the attackers who Rielly didn't harass with her own spells like before.
But she really contributed to the fact that the players were able to play hand-to-hand combat with the attackers in the sentry post - otherwise the players would have been greeted by a large number of spells. In fact, this is the normal fighting style of a protective mage, but Riel Riko has never been familiar with it in the past (a half-monk player mage...... )。 From this point of view. The previous training in the Mystery Garden was really not in vain. Even if you don't get the advancement of the 'School Master', it's worth it.
Suddenly, the sword light of the metal storm enveloped the small half of the space in the sentry. Then the two brutes in the house fell like this. One of them had his skull severed from the top of his ear, and the red and white spilled all over the floor like ketchup and salad dressing that had been knocked over at the same time. The other was a small leg that was cut off, and he lost his support and fell to the ground uncontrollably and struggled uncontrollably.
And at the gap in the wall, the elite warriors from the local area, relying on the sixth sense they had cultivated on the battlefield, retreated in time. Although Barrett's blade cut into the armor on his opponent's chest, he inadvertently escaped his body from the range of the blade's threat.
'Is it finally no longer cannon fodder?' But for us, I don't know if that's good news! Barrett's eyes sharpened at the thought of this. He stared at the enemy in front of him, who had wrapped himself in silver-gray heavy armor, and adjusted his sword gesture slightly.
After killing 5 barbarians in a row at the gap. The attackers also knew that it was impossible to rely on these 'cheap cannon fodder' to open the gap. As for the battle situation at the back door, it is absolutely impossible to see from that angle. At the beginning of the construction of the camp's sentry posts, consideration was given to how to prevent outsiders from prying eyes.
Barrett frowned after the 'sonorous' horizontal knife blocked the iron rod in the gray-armored warrior's hand. He knew that the guy in front of him was not easy to deal with, and if he dragged on here for too long, those companions behind him might not be able to withstand more and more brutes - in fact, in the early days, most of the professions would feel tricky in the face of extremely explosive berserk classes. Even if the opponent's level is slightly lower than his own, it is possible that the party with a higher level is at a disadvantage during the berserk.
If it's a normal encounter, players can choose to stall for time and wait for the weakness period of the opponent's fury to end and immediately turn over and turn into serfs and sing. But now the other party's new forces are pouring in one after another! Players will need to face the raging waves of one brute after another. This style of play is really torture.
Like Claymatis. In addition to his shoulder, Bot also had an additional wound in his lower abdomen that did not look deep. But the big axes in the hands of the barbarians. In addition to the cutting effect, it also has a certain percussion effect. So Clematis. Bot is now not only a flesh wound on the surface, but also an internal organ that has been turned over by the impact.
The dwarf who was wrapped in a tin can, although the players were unable to confirm his exact image. But he began to bleed before, and with almost no intact full-body armor, the situation inside can be imagined. Claudia. Although Auditore was able to barely protect himself with the help of the constructed lion, there were several blood marks on his arm wielding the mace.
Even Lalu, who is known for his quick movements, has several wounds at this time. After all, in the small space of the sentry, so many people were squeezed in at one time. It has seriously compressed the space for the cat boy to move, and in addition to the fact that the warrior monk profession is born with no armor, it is inevitable that a careless failure to dodge will inevitably be hung.
'Damn, it looks like it's not going to hold on. Thinking of this, Barrett forced the gray-armored warrior back with a single sword, and immediately shouted loudly: "Prepare to break through!" ”
Rielly, who received the order, suddenly flicked her fingers, and then a film of oil covering a large area appeared near the gap. Under the obstruction of this greasy technique, the gray-armored warrior immediately became a little hesitant. After all, it was impossible for him, who was wearing heavy armor, to get through this greasy area unaffected.
Although he also understood Barrett's signal to retreat, he was unwilling to insist that he step on greasy ground and launch a pursuit. If he slipped and fell to the ground because of this, who knows if Barrett would change his mind and stay and beat the water dogs! This guy is not one of those barbarians who sacrifices his life and forgets his life after going berserk, and in a life-threatening situation, the other party immediately coaxes.
And Barrett, who was free, immediately activated the acceleration effect on his shoes. Then he rushed like a gust of wind from this wall of the house to the opposite door. Then a cold light flashed, and the brute in front of him was cut off from his blade, and Barrett raised his kick and kicked it out.
After all this, he successfully relieved his companions who were stuck in a stalemate with another 'metal storm'. With this effort, Rielly activated the 'Acceleration Technique' stored in the scroll in advance, and in an instant, the remaining players became much faster than before.
"Rush out with me. Claudia remembered the break. With that, Barrett slammed out the door, and he was greeted by a welcoming ceremony for the many attackers. Barrett, who couldn't dance his hand to the point of breaking the peak, felt that the burden on his wrist was getting heavier and heavier.
Suddenly, a pean-sized point of light suddenly swelled up beside him. Rielly, who found that Barrett had not been able to open the situation for a while, smashed another powerful fireball into the crowd. Many of the attackers besieging Barrett rolled and wailed, but Barrett himself walked around the courtyard as if unaffected.
Although Rielly's fireball technique is still indistinguishable from friend and foe, it is not much of a threat to Barrett, who has spell resistance and flashing skills. On the contrary, none of the besiegers could ignore the baptism of flames.
Seeing that a way out of the door had been opened, the players who had accelerated immediately rushed out. Led by Barrett, he approached the rest of the camp comrades. And Claudia escaped from the Ascension. Auditore, following a rehearsal, ripped a fruit from the emerald vine tied to his wrist. While shouting 'grow' in his mouth, he hurls it at the sentry behind him as if he were using a throwing weapon.
As soon as the fruit landed, it took root and sprouted at an astonishing speed visible to the naked eye, and then grew rapidly. In the blink of an eye, a huge vine with a radius of 20 feet grew from the point of landing - and then the huge vine not only shrouded the attackers who were staggering around the scene, but even crawled all over the sentry like a creeper - they covered the walls, covered the windows, and sealed the doors. And the attackers in this range had to scramble to dodge the fast-growing vines. (To be continued.) )
PS: The modification is complete. Thank you "Darco" for the big monthly pass.
