Chapter Ninety-Seven: Acting and Acting
But before Lucia's reinforcements arrived at the scene of the incident, Lilinda Boram was already the first to wave the giant blade in her hand and rush towards the patrols who were on the verge of entanglement and were not restricted from moving. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE。 InfoAlthough the enemy in crisis at this time was riding a war horse, the previous turn and the sudden attack made it impossible for them to speed up in the face of Ms. Lilinda Boreham's surprise attack.
"Click!" With such a sound, the impossibly long, thin blade in Lady Lilinda Boram's hand sliced through the ranger's armor with an almost needle-like tip. One side of the fully bladed sword body was instantly filled with enemy blood, while the other side, which was only nearly 1/4 of the way to the tip, brought out only the blood beads that flowed sideways due to inertia. The warrior in their ranks, at this time, was cautiously holding his shield and landing behind Miss Lilinda Boreham, as if he were charging to intercept the slightest movement.
'Elves, sure enough, love to use this kind of weapon. At this time, Barrett, who was hiding under the snow not far behind, looked at the girl wielding a sharp blade in front of him and nodded. The Xenomorph Martial used by Lady Lilinda Boram is known as the 'Elven Blade' in the Western Continent, and in addition to its unique blade, it also has a long hilt and a rather heavy weight ball. Of course, in addition to the weapon itself, the basket-shaped scabbard (usually made to look like a leaf or vine) that Lady Lilinda Bolum carries on her back is also a very obvious feature.
This weapon is generally used primarily for stabbing attacks, but can also be used by the user to slash. A specially trained character (with the "Good at Xenomorph Weapons (Elven Greatblade)" specialty, will find this weapon to be great for quick bluffs and stabs. The user can apply the "Weapon Mastery" specialization to it, applying an agility bonus (if any) instead of a strength bonus to the Elven Greatblade's attack check, even though it is still a two-handed weapon (rather than a light weapon). Characters who are also proficient in using the Elven Greatblade can be treated as a greatsword in many cases.
But at this moment, Clematis, who was on the side, lowered his voice and asked, "Should we also do something?" ”
"Wait! According to the plan, we would have to wait until the large force on Lucia's side showed up before we acted. Speaking of this, Barrett paused, "If you rush now, then you will be tactically passive." ”
Hearing Barrett's words, the players who were already eager to try it immediately suppressed the little impulse in their hearts. Continue to hide quietly under the snow, waiting for the further development of the battle situation. And on the other hand, with a backhand swing of Lady Lilinda Boleum, she swept away the Lucian cavalry that had just been cut out of a gap.
At the same time, the two rangers who had burst out of the hideout, one wielding a scimitar into battle, while the other clenched his longbow and stared warily at any suspicious targets around him. But the rest of the riders and bards did not move at all, as if they were not part of the group. Also absent from the scene were the animal companions of those wilderness professions, which showed that they hadn't even shown half of their strength yet.
It takes time for the scattered rangers to regroup, and it takes time for the troops inside the fortress to be dispatched. Before they arrived at the scene of the incident, the patrolmen who were ambushed were killed, and those who fell off their horses were killed. In just a few minutes, it was completely incapacitated.
Then Lady Lilinda Boreham didn't seem to be in love with the fight, and immediately gathered her companions and began to retreat towards the east of the players. It looks like a cunning fox who steals a piece of meat and runs away. Barrett, who saw this scene, nodded secretly: "Show the enemy to be weak and lure the enemy deep." It's a pity that some comrades-in-arms don't perform very well. But on the battlefield, no one should care about that little problem! ”
While Barrett was watching the play carefully, the remaining teams of rangers, who were also on patrol duty, had already arrived at the scene of the incident. Looking at the cold corpses on the ground and the comrades wailing in pain, they were all furious - although these Lucians of the same class did not necessarily have a good relationship with each other, and some even accumulated a lot of conflicts in their daily work and life. But at this moment, the word 'revenge' was burning in their heads.
At the same time, the 'active retreat' organized by Lilinda Boram further stimulated their enthusiasm for action - in the eyes of the ordinary soldiers and most of the junior officers in Lucia, only the weak would choose to retreat. At this time, Lilinda Boreham and her comrades who had been exposed had become military exploits and trophies in the eyes of the rangers. The 'grey animals' brandished their whips and began to chase after the retreating members of the 'Wilderness Pack'.
"Roar!" Just as the Ranger's scimitar was about to come into contact with the 'Wilderness Swarm', Jagger in the team instantly turned into a snow-white giant bear. On all fours, he lunged forward, followed by the sound of broken bones. Where is the light war horse that the ranger rides is the opponent of the white bear--just one shot is knocked over on the horse's back.
Then, with its sharp scythe-like claws, it slammed forward and deformed the iron helmet of the fallen cavalryman, squeezing out the contents like watermelons and mixed with cream. And the white bear, who had completed the kill in one shot, suddenly got up nervously, and suddenly swept his left limb backwards.
I saw that a scimitar that came from the back was easily slapped away, and it swirled in mid-air and quickly disappeared from the sight of the original owner. Then the curved and sharp claws went up the momentum, tearing apart the protective leather armor of the far owner of the scimitar. It ripped off the velvet thread, cut the thick leather, and plunged directly into the enemy's chest!
The pair of bear claws in front of him, with the help of the 'Demon Tooth Technique', are even more powerful than ordinary swords. The druid's bear claws then swept across the chest and abdomen of the other soldier. With the splash of sparks, a large piece of the chain armor snapped, leaving several deep claw marks between his chest and abdomen. At first glance, it seems that only a little skin trauma has been inflicted, but it has not been able to damage it severely. But in fact, under the huge force of the white bear, this guy's spleen has been ruptured, and the gallbladder has been displaced, even if he is left alone, his life will not be long.
At that moment, a spear suddenly slammed into Druid Jagger. The opponent's attack did not choose the key point, but directly aimed at the waist of the white bear. Obviously, he felt that the white bear druid was unable to move, and planned to take advantage of this loophole to outwit the enemy chieftain.
Druid Jagger, who discovered this scene, snorted coldly in his heart, and a ball rolled over him. Then he got up and threw out his claws while dodging the spear, but unfortunately the attack of this claw was a little hasty, and he couldn't choose the right way. I saw that the bear's claws grabbed the opponent's bright breastplate painted with flange, and then "Woo!" The piercing sound of sharp rubbing reminded Barrett of a blackboard 'groaning' under his fingernails—and all the people around him felt their hairs stand on end.
Unfortunately, the bear claw only sparked on the surface of the opponent's breastplate, leaving a few scratches. But it didn't break the sturdy armor - apparently the cuirassier was also equipped with a piece of magical armor. Relying on the protective effect of this piece of armor, the other party successfully escaped.
As a druid, Jagger knew that his transformed bear claws were not powerful enough - they usually tore through normal light armor and poor medium armor, and had no effect on stronger armor. Hurting an enemy with a sharp claw is not a simple matter in itself.
So he took two routes at the same time, the first was to strengthen himself with auxiliary magic techniques such as 'Demon Tooth Technique', so that his claws could fight against ordinary non-magic armor. At the same time, with the brutal power of the bear-like creatures, he vigorously slapped nearby enemies with his giant palms. It's just that sometimes his attack moves may not always be as he thinks, and once he encounters an enemy and has excellent armor, it is inevitable that the situation just now will appear.
Perhaps it was because he found that the attack of this ferocious white bear had been frustrated, and there were riders on the side who rushed to pick up the bargain with a scimitar wielding a scimitar. Unbeknownst to everyone, all his actions fell on the nose of the druid Jagger. With a keen sense of smell and hearing, he backhanded the attacker with the back of his hand a large ear scraper. Immediately after that, the other party's whole person was slapped and fell out, and only a "click" was heard, and a strange angle appeared between his head and upper body - this is obviously something that a normal spine cannot do.
And the cuirassier who had not died in the previous catastrophe immediately turned over and dismounted from that side with a kick. It seems intent on escaping with his mount as cover. However, the guy who thought he could escape did not expect that Druid Jagger easily pushed the horse away, and then pounced forward, and the opponent was caught by two rows of sharp teeth. With a slight closure of the upper and lower jaws, his head was twisted completely.
In the other direction, Lilinda Boreham, on the other hand, did not activate her Blood Fury effect at this time. This makes it clear that her combat power is not at its peak - though Lilinda Boram is nowhere near as powerful as the Druid Jagger after transforming into the White Bear. But with her skill, every swing of the 'Elven Blade' in her hand caused an enemy rider to let out a heart-rending scream.
At the same time, the scimitar-wielding ranger scurried between the riders' scimitars with a deft step. At the same time, the pair of scimitars in this guy's hand also collided with the same weapon of the other party from time to time - sparks burst out for a while, but the blood flower seemed extremely stingy. The encircled ranger lacked explosiveness to open the gap in one go, resulting in the current stalemate.
"Da! Da! Da! With the sound of horses' hooves, the enemy's reinforcements from the fortress finally appeared in front of everyone. The tall horses on the other side had strong muscles that could not be seen in normal horse breeds, and the violet-like shiny hair also showed the extraordinary nature of these mounts.
And the pilots of these mounts are all wearing metal plate armor that wraps around the whole body. The plate has been specially matted so that it does not look dazzling even in the sun. Although this change has lost the tactic of using sunlight to dazzle the enemy's eyes, it also makes it difficult for them to reveal their whereabouts during the march.
These riders control their mounts, forming small arrays in the shape of 'triangular pyramids'. Their arms swayed up and down as the horses rose and fell, but the spears in their hands remained in one direction because of their superb control.
From a distance, this alone made Barrett sure that the enemy in front of him was stronger than the light cavalry he had encountered. He covered his mouth and reminded, "Everyone get ready to fight, and when my signal appears, Rielly will speed up everyone." We must crush the cavalry in front of them as soon as Lilinda and the others succeed, and we must not give them a chance to charge again. ”
Although the number of cavalry charging out of the fortress was not large, their uniform movements and indomitable momentum still made the targeted people feel like a huge threat. But just about 100 feet from the last contact, the white bear in the form of Druid Jagger let out a roar first. Immediately after that, Vicari also pulled his throat and played a duet with him.
With this strange cry, the cavalry team in the charge immediately appeared abnormal. One by one, the originally obedient mounts became restless. Immediately after that, several horses were frightened, some stopped, some began to pounce on the spot, and some even turned and fled the war zone.
The spell used by the two druids in front of them is called 'The Howl of the Predator'. They let out a terrible howl, which sounded like the low howl of the most powerful predator through the wind.
This spell is often used against cavalry. This spell panics all affected animals. If a panicked animal carries a rider, the rider must pass a difficult riding test to prevent the mount from attempting to escape the combat area. Even if the animal is exempt, it must replace panic with a tremor status for the duration of the spell.
You must know that the creature attack check, immunity check, skill check, and attribute check in the trembling state are all reduced by -2, and the threat of that war horse is naturally greatly reduced.
The panicked character is not only trembling, but also fleeing the source of fear as quickly as possible. The sapient beings in it will also drop whatever they hold in their hands. Not only do they stay away from the source of fear, but their escape routes are random. Except for the source of fear, they will flee from all other dangers, rather than face them. But once they run out of the range where they can see (or hear) the source of their fear, they can control their behavior. In the unlikely event that a panicked character is unable to escape, they will cringe. (To be continued.) )
