Lamps have had an extraordinary meaning in many civilizations and legends. If we talk about fire as an element of civilization - for cooking, chemistry, heating, lighting. Then the control of fire is also a civilization process, because burning fire brings light and heat, but also incarnates fear, punishment, and destruction. Among them, the lamp represents the control of the flame in terms of illumination, which naturally has an extraordinary significance.

So much so that the lantern-bearers had extraordinary significance in the settlements of the obscurantist period, both in terms of religious rituals and practical use. In the long run, in this world of supernatural powers, the class has the skill to drive away the darkness and fight the enemies that hide within.

In many of today's large cities, the old and new lantern bearers are hired by the city government to manage the daily lighting and security patrols of the city streets. Those criminals who try to hide their evil deeds at night will find that their actions are hidden in their light.

However, from all aspects, the relationship between the old lantern bearer and the new lampbearer can be called extremely poor. The lantern bearers who have mastered the divine arts according to the tradition and the lamp bearers who have appeared due to the development of alchemy are somewhat out of place in terms of their own strength and philosophy. In addition, both parties often have to work together, even if the full responsibility is different, but the accumulated contradictions will never be small.

If it weren't for the fact that they were mostly active in the cities, an area where the rulers had a high level of control, serious armed conflicts would have erupted from time to time. And even now, when they are superficially friendly to outsiders, their struggle in private has never stopped. But as long as they don't go too far, the rulers will turn a blind eye to things like that - after all, limited competition will promote the development of the industry.

It is precisely because of the current situation of the 'lantern player' profession that Barrett is a little surprised by the appearance of the lamp holder in front of him. After all, under the control of the Mammoth Dynasty, there are few decent cities. So the number of professionals like this is obviously not large. In addition, they rarely leave the city, and it is unheard of to appear in naval battles.

As for why Barrett was able to determine that the enemy in front of him was the lamp-bearer and not the lamp-bearer. That's because of the way the other side just fought. directly exposed his true identity. Lampbearers who wield divine magic are closer to primitive battle priests, except that their power comes from a belief in the concept associated with the lamp. Therefore, their control over fire is extremely powerful, and a series of effects like the one just now are what these people are good at. The application of the lamp holder is closer to the simple light and illumination - 'alchemy illumination'. Comparatively, the former is more combat-oriented and the latter is more supportive.

So in the face of the flames that were similar to the Holy Flame Strike, Barrett's spell resistance didn't work at all. Even if you have a companion blessed with 'Protective Energy (Fire)', you will only be able to resist half of the pure fire damage. If the flashing technique fails to work, Barrett will have to rely on his strong physique to resist. That's why when he broke through that wall of fire before, he behaved so embarrassed.

But when the distance between the two sides is closer. It was the lamp's turn that felt the scalp tingle. If this guy had the strength to be tough and tough Barrett, I am afraid he would not have chosen to hide in the crowd and let the cold gun go. Seeing the 'broken peak' in Barrett's hand getting bigger and bigger in his field of vision, the lamp-bearer, who had failed to intercept several times, immediately retreated cautiously. But compared to Barrett's speed, the guy who was limited by his companions seemed to be much slower.

As a spellcaster, the lampbearer was not inferior to the ship. When he found out that he was about to encounter danger, many enemy seamen in the vicinity, who were originally fighting separately, immediately rushed to block Barrett's pursuit route. It's a pity that Barrett, who has already completed the acceleration, is like a bulldozer with full horsepower at this time. Just relying on those three or two small fish won't help at all.

The vertical sword light immediately split the target in front of him into two, and the violent impact caused the corpse to fly out of the side of the ship with half of the blood splattered before it could fall. And the second roadblocker, Barrett didn't even lift a knife. He turned sideways to avoid the scimitar of the opponent's main hand. At the same time, he raised his arm slightly, and staggered the second knife of the opponent's deputy with his arm shield in the sound of 'bang'. Then he slammed his shoulder armor into the opponent's head with a step - he was so confident with a height advantage.

Then the mammoth soldier felt as if he was being locked in a large brass bell, to be beaten by the people outside—and his whole head was a mess of mush. In this stumbling situation, the slightest external force made him unable to even support the side of the ship, and easily turned into a rolling hoist.

It can be said that the seafarers of the Mammoth Dynasty paid with their lives to stop Barrett's advance. But they weren't able to slow Barrett down much - there was an insurmountable gulf between the two sides. Even if the general can't find it, it's just a fool's dream to stop Barrett in the middle of the rush.

Mammoth Dynasty, of course, this time. It's not that there aren't enough good men on the galleys. It's just that the outbreak just now by Captain Danny Evans has temporarily lost the ability to fight before many of them can play their due role. The rest of the squad prioritized Captain Jody Lamond, the bard who had a huge impact on the whole - there was no way to interrupt the chant of the silent caster after his death.

In the face of various attacks and harassment from the enemy, Captain Jody Lamond drew his knife and fired back, but he also did not pull down his singing. Years of experience in naval warfare. Let his pace fit perfectly with the boat under his feet. The ups and downs of the upside-down movements made the mammoth soldiers who attacked him always pounce on him.

And like the unorthodox movements, Captain Jody Lamond's attacks tend to appear in places that others don't expect. After a few encounters, the Mammoth Dynasty immediately realized that they had not achieved the results they wanted. The loud singing that always echoed over the Lady of Passion inspired every soldier on deck to contribute to the defense against the enemy.

On his side of the deck there is Captain Jody Rammond to attract hatred. On the enemy side, one of the galleys had been suppressed by Captain Danny Evans. It is not possible to schedule people to skip shifts normally. So much so that in such an important place as the stern, the number of strong people that the other party can send is not much. After the tattooed warrior monk was surrounded by the players, the remaining lampbearer did not dare to try whether Barrett's 'Broken Peak' was sharp enough.

And just when Barrett's blade was less than 10 feet away from that oil lamp. The lantern that was hanging suddenly became dim when it was lit. Immediately afterwards, the 'broken peak' that was originally looking at it was suddenly made unable to move an inch by the sparkling light curtain.

'Damn! It's the wall again! But I don't believe how high your guy's wall can be...... 'Thinking of this, Barrett grabbed the 'Force Field Ring', and then in front of the light curtain, a force field block that was imperceptible to the flesh-eye pair. Barrett then jumped to his feet, and immediately stepped on the block suspended in mid-air and climbed over the barrier formed by the opponent's 'oil lamp'.

At this time, the enemy lamp bearer, who had consumed too many means, faced death, but he could not feel fear anymore. Of course, it is also possible that extreme fear and insomnia blow away all your tension. At this time, he became extremely calm. Then the lamp in his hand turned into a flaming bison. Rushing towards Barrett as he ran. And he himself was constantly muttering something.

The flaming bison instantly squeezed the space between Barrett and the lampbearer, which made the 'Broken Peak', which seemed to be about to cut its target, have to be put away a little. And with the cover of this behemoth, the other party seems to be planning to take advantage of this opportunity to use some means to save his life or potentially turn the tide of the battle.

But unfortunately, Barrett didn't intend to let the other party get his wish like this. At the risk of being knocked off by a bison, Barrett leaped and stepped on the sparks on the bull's back to shoot at his target. Although the movements are not very elegant, with the super long arm span, the 'broken peak' is about to touch the neck of the person holding the lamp.

Seeing that his head was about to be separated from his neck, even if the person in charge of the lamp was so calm, he couldn't stop chanting and turn around to dodge. And Barrett twisted his waist in mid-air. With a turn of his shoulder, the 'broken peak' in his hand was handed forward again-although there was only a shallow trace of blood at the top of the blade, but the lamp-bearer who had been troublesome for himself for a long time finally saw blood.

What's more, Barrett's attack this time activated the 'Dimensional Blade' effect on the 'Broken Peak'. You must know that since the person holding the lamp is an expert in playing with fire, it is naturally very likely that teleportation abilities such as fire escape or flame walking will also be obtained. Although in the previous dodge, the other party did not show this ability. But it could also be because the other person feels that the time is not really needed for emergency - after all, the number of times this ability can be used every day is very limited, and it will only be used to save lives when it is most critical.

And Barrett, who had watched Mage Shoshone escape from his blade in Wintersprings before, would never want to see the same situation happen this time. Therefore, he used the 'Dimensional Blade' to seal the possibility of the opponent using a similar ability to escape next.

Just when Barrett finally had some results, the fire bull at his feet finally reacted. The big man spread his hooves and jumped on the top. Immediately lifted Barrett, who had one foot still on its back, out. Barrett, who lost his support point at this moment, had to control his muscles to adjust his center of gravity and roll on the sideways with a volley. Only then did he regain his balance and land on his feet.

But even with such a delay, the lamplight-bearer who was targeted by Barrett was not able to distance himself again. After all, the aft deck was limited in size, and there was no entrance to the cabin in the direction he had just chosen to escape. In this way, unless the lantern holder who has limited his teleportation ability chooses to jump into the sea or fly, he really can't find any way to escape Barrett's threat for a while. At the same time, judging from the current situation, it seems that the person in charge of the lamp cannot do both.

However, the fire bull that had just almost blown Barrett off was found to be on the ground as if Barrett was not obediently accepting his stepping. Again a charge was launched towards him. Faced with the threat from behind, Barrett did not hesitate to accelerate towards his target again - he was obviously planning to fight to be overtaken by the fire bull, and also to deal with the enemy in front of him first.

What's more, as long as you can kill the lamp-bearer first, the fire ox transformed from the oil lamp may disappear. Turning around and dealing with the damn minions was a fool's errand.

Charge while deftly avoiding improvised obstacles created by the enemy. Barrett changed his morale-boosting offensive. Focus all your attention on the enemy you've locked on. A short sprint followed, but it was clear that Barrett, who had started the acceleration in this regard, had a clear advantage.

The fear of imminent death made the lamp-bearer use all means. The cloak behind him flashed, and he suddenly split into four and turned in different directions and fled. At the same time, above these four figures, they were quickly shrouded in a hazy mist. It's a pity that all these efforts made by the other party have become a joke in Barrett's eyes. Barrett, who possessed the ability to cover through spells, immediately ignored the mist and phantoms, and the cold light of the sword went straight to the real target.

"Poof!" In the midst of the sound, the 'Broken Peak' cut into the barrier that the lantern holder was haunting. Then he easily tore open his chain mail, and with the blood gushing out, the opponent's arm was completely removed. The pain caused the lamp-bearer to let out a piercing roar, followed by a scrambled step on a corpse before slipping to the ground.

Barrett, who was kicking his legs, turned around and twitched, and the 'broken peak' swept over and brought out the 'dripping' head of the lamp bearer. With the death of the lampbearer, the fire bull that was originally chasing after Barrett's fart also disappeared out of thin air. Then the dim oil lamp fell to the deck at 'jingle'.

After solving a troublesome character, Barrett immediately turned his gaze to the other side. The tattooed warrior monk who then went there was embarrassed, but he was still entangled with the players. (To be continued.) )

PS: The modification is complete. Thanks to the three big monthly passes, "Brother Zheng on the top bunk", "Charming Book" and "Old Man Si". At the same time, I would like to thank the two "Altar Fat Biao" and "Big Man" for their great rewards.
