Chapter 110: Torture
ps: Modify the paragraph of the statement.
When life and death are fighting, where can Barrett finish the mockery of these ten words. But just to see the resolute look on Barrett's face. Beneath the caster's high, sharp hood, the dry, but unflacciding face was the color of a pig's liver. After the blue tendons on his forehead reached the extreme, the whites of his eyes turned up directly and he fainted.
It may be too late for the average person. But if it's me......' With this thought, Barrett flicked his wrist, and the air-tearing Modao knife gently swept over the top of the opponent's head, scraping off the hood and cutting back at the same time—striking the opponent's neck with the thick back of the knife.
The unconscious body slowly fell from Barrett's hands. Barrett then expertly pulled out a rope of tendon and trapped the ambustor's hands and feet in a matter of moments.
Then he easily dismantled the brooches, cloaks, rings, necklaces, spell books, spell casting kits, and other items that might be related to spells. It is then tied to a tree behind the bushes to prevent it from being discovered by the opposing party's accomplices.
Barrett, who had done this last night, turned around to help, and with the full force of his running and jumping boots, he jumped several meters with a slight leap. Carefully avoiding the branches that intercepted in the middle of the road, Barrett reappeared in his gaze after only a few seconds.
In Barrett's eyes, it seemed that after discovering that the arrows had lost their intended effect, these shooters with strong upper limbs immediately abandoned the long-range strike method. Instead, he drew his sword from his waist. Relying on the superiority in numbers, he charged at the players who remained by the side of the carriage.
But in fact, the group of attackers in front of him was not as impulsive as Barrett had seen. After discovering that Rielly had blessed herself with a protective ranged weapon, the attackers wielding the military compound longbow immediately changed their targets.
But Rielly's astonishing interception skills made the attackers' efforts useless once again. Who made them so limited that they couldn't surround the players! Otherwise, arrows are coming from all directions. Even if Rielie had three heads and six arms, she couldn't stop her.
But the situation is that the number of those attackers is far from enough. This makes the opponent's original plan to weaken the player's ability to resist with a covering long-range strike come to naught.
However, it is necessary to train more professional soldiers who have been trained, even if the purpose of training in the past was to shoot in formation. But over the course of a years-long military career, their melee combat skills may not be much worse than that of the average soldier - this is the accumulation of time.
It is a pity that the wishful thinking of these attackers has once again been in vain. The spider web technique, this time used by Rielly, enveloped most of the attackers who rushed towards her party in one fell swoop.
These white gelatins, formed by the evolution of magical energy, almost covered the entire road behind the carriage. The attackers in the cobwebs were wrapped in spider silk, and those who were strict were even tied up like silkworm cocoons. I couldn't move at all.
Of course, such unlucky people are only a few after all. More attackers did not give up in such a state. They were struggling, cutting with their weapons or tearing apart the silk with their hands. It seems that he wants to rely on his own strength to break free from the spider silk.
Although this statement cannot be said to be in vain. But I want to really get rid of the trouble of spider webs. But it's not a simple task that can be accomplished! That's why some martial artists think that the power of the iron heart is an extremely important weight for them to deal with mages.
Unfortunately, the phalanx of the attackers was not dense, and the coverage of the spider web was limited. There were still a small number of attackers who were lucky enough to bypass the arachnid interception, and hand-to-hand combat between the two sides began at this moment.
Laru, who was the first room of the team, swung slightly to the side, and dodged the attacker's attack. Then turn around. From the bottom up, it is a plan to tease the yin legs. It smashed heavily on the direct vital parts of the opponent's legs. Even from afar, Barrett could hear a sound similar to the cracking of an egg.
"The player strikes with their bare hands into the range of the heavy attack...... Start thumping to confirm...... Heavy hit to confirm success...... Damage Calculation ...... The enemy's one-move is a huge ...... The enemy is in a coma......" and other other players who can't hear the system prompts, and they can also get a general idea of the body language of the aboriginal before he falls into a coma.
At the same time, for the safety of the ladies behind him, Noodle also gave up his best technique of cold guns behind his back, wielding his ghost blade to deceive and stop those attackers.
Compared to Ralu, who has obtained the Warrior Monk's Belt and Heavy Punch Talisman with extraordinary effects, the strength level of the noodles in the head-to-head battle is much worse. However, the ghostly dagger with an invisible blade and unpredictable changes is a threat that no one can take lightly.
One of the assailants wielded his sword and reached out to block it, so that past the front of the dagger, it seemed to him that it was nothing more than a halfling dagger grazing his forearm, no big deal.
But the moment the dagger's illusory ghost blade made contact with his arm. The attacker felt like he had fallen into an ice cave. Even in the clothes after the disaster, I couldn't help but tremble all over.
The effect of the Ghost Dagger is similar to the necromantic spell Cold Touch of the Mage Ring - a blade formed by the convergence of negative energy, and the moment it comes into contact with a living being, it will gather enough to extract a large amount of vitality from the creature's body as a synthesis of energy.
So don't look at the noodle attack as if it only scratched a little skin, but it feels like experiencing a blood donation for the whole amount. The whole person's spirit has become sluggish, and the fatigue in his body makes his eyelids almost unable to open.
After a few encounters, the noodle fighting style has gradually formed its own style. The visible dagger in the main hand is not so much an attack as a defense and misdirection. And the ghost dagger with the hilt of the sword, which was only visible, was like a soft knife cutting flesh at this time. Little by little, the vitality of the enemy is being consumed.
"Sonorous-" Clematis. The mace in Both's hand collided with the long sword in the attacker's hand. The lightly armored assailant swung his sword at the priest who stood in front of him. The latter handed over the shield in his hand. While making contact, he took a half-step back and calmly unloaded the strength of the opponent's attack.
Don't think that holding a shield in your hand will be able to resist enemy attacks. Shield warriors who don't know how to borrow and unload their forces in battle often don't live long - shields can resist blade swings and piercings, but the accompanying impact must be borne by the user himself.
If they can't defuse the impact on themselves, it won't be long before the user can't lift the shield due to the paralysis of the arm. At that time, the original defensive weapon will become a drag on your own actions.
And Clematis. Bot was able to master this technique thanks to the unspeakable things that flooded into Walter Harbour that night.
Entered the game since Claudia. Auditore and Clematis. Bot though he has taken the battle route of shield hammer writing. But who would have believed that these two ladies would spend a lot of time honing their fighting skills!
If it weren't for the stricter training and assessment in the Church of the Goddess of Wealth and Commerce; If it weren't for Clematis. Bott was not willing to suffer alone, and took his friend Claudia. Auditore dragged him into the water. I'm afraid that the fighting skills of these two people will be on a par with those defeated dogs in the Daybreak Federation.
But even the harder training compared to other players can't hide the important flaw of her lack of experience in two actual battles. Although it seems that he has mastered the skill of unloading the shield and the rhythm of coordination between the weapon and the shield. But if you really use it, it's like the sonic spear in the early days of the pig's feet in "The Adventures of the Sister-controlled Prince", which is sometimes ineffective.
And the night before was like a tidal wave of indescribable things. and a large number of auxiliary states blessed by the temple, but it is a highest-level training ground. Although in the end neither Claudia. Auditore or Claymatis. Bot was so tired that his hands and feet were weak, but the high-intensity combat training also made many of their shield skills instinctive. That's why they have the appearance they are so calm today.
However, the opponent's numerical advantage is more obvious at this time. Claudia. The shield in Auditore's hand could block the slash in one direction, but not the other. The sharp blade of the sword tore away the metal ring on the chain mail, but with this cushion, it was like a bloody streak that cut through the skin.
The pain of the delicate skin being cut apart made Claudia. Auditore couldn't help but shrink back. Luckily, Rielly's metal whip took advantage of the moment to spike out. From that slashed Claudia. Auditore's assailant had a large chunk of flesh on his face.
Barrett, who had once again charged, had transformed into the rock dragon, his tall but modest figure, which had brought dragon-like coercion to the attackers in the course of his actions—like a mountain hovering over the heads of the people, bringing a great intimidation that was so terrifying that it was impossible to act.
The sound of "boom-boom-" was followed by rocks crumbling and the ground sinking slightly. Soon there were stumps and severed arms left around the carriage. After Barrett was transformed into a large meat grinder, the attackers were like wheat under the scythe of autumn, and in the blink of an eye they fell in pieces.
"That's right! Remember to keep a live mouth, we will have to compare the confessions between the different members later. Barrett turned and pointed to the assailants who had been caught in the cobwebs but had not managed to break free.
There were 3 more blood marks on his face. The tights were also cut through a lot of noodles, and he immediately took off his crossbow from his back and patted it: "Don't worry! I'm the best at mending the knife. Guaranteed to leave a suitable tongue. ”
As soon as the words fell, the halfling shot an arrow towards the cobweb-covered area of more than 20 feet. The rest of the companions just stood by and watched, and there were no fools who stepped forward directly into the cobweb area to kill the enemy—the cobwebs after formation were not divided between friend and foe. Even if a member of Barrett enters the area of influence of the spell, he will be entangled and shed a layer of skin.
"That's good! I'll leave you in charge here. Let's see if we can find the leader among them. I took advantage of this to fetch another big fish. As he spoke, Barrett put the Mo knife on his shoulder, and immediately ran towards the arbor that had tied the mage before.
But wait until the distance is about five or six meters. Barrett, however, stopped his small steps, and he did not choose the same route as before. Instead, he turned to the left, bypassing the small bushes that had been blocking the view.
The reason for this was the fear that this time the attackers would have reserves or fish that slipped through the net. In case they didn't leave after rescuing the caster. On the contrary, he risked his death, and he was brave to die
Upon seeing the caster, still firmly tied in place. At the same time, Barrett did not seem to wake up, Barrett breathed a sigh of relief, and his heart that had been slightly suspended was also let go.
Stepping forward to carry the corpse-like caster, Barrett immediately strode in the direction of his companions. And there the noodle mending work was very smooth, and under his crossbow arrows, three or four attackers had already died.
After a while. Looking at the two tightly tied "human prisoners" on the ground, players began to pick up their injuries. In this premeditated ambush of the enemy. Among the players, the one with the most serious injuries is Claudia. Auditore too.
The chain armor on her body, which was originally eighty percent new, was now like a hundred clothes, with large and small openings that were completely broken. Blood oozing from the substrate made of four layers of unusually fine satin stained the metal rings reddened the breaches.
"Don't worry! Because of the silk substrate, the bleeding has basically stopped. Treating a minor wound can prevent possible infection. "Relatively less injured Clematis. Bot. At this time, it played the role of a medical staff very well.
I saw her tighten her robe and half-squat, reach out to probe her companion's wound, and carefully peel off the substrate that had been stuck to the wound with the quick water. I could see that the bandaged wound on her arm didn't seem to have much of an impact.
In Clematis. Bot was involved in the wound of Claudia during the cleanup. Auditore frowned and whispered, "Oops! You lighten a little. ”
"Bear with it! Why don't I give you a little anesthetic? "Said Clematis. Bot turned and reached for a tucked glass bottle in the medical kit.
It seems that Claudia remembered something not to recall. Auditore's face turned a lot paler all of a sudden: "Forget it! Klematis should forget it! I'll just put up with this pain, just put up with it. ”
Obviously, the kind of anesthetic that works by sucking is very important for Claudia. For Auditore, it was more terrible than the pain from the wound. It's just that I don't know which lady is afraid of the smell of anesthetics, or the side effects that occur at the same time after it takes effect.
The next halfling wanderer was also dressed in beggar's clothing, but there was not much blood coming out of the torn clothes. The bandage on the forearm was only a shallow rosé mark, as if to tell people that the wound had successfully stopped bleeding.
It's just that there seems to be a bit of limp when it moves. It's like telling people that he's been hit hard here - if you think about the situation at the time, this guy probably avoided enemy attacks several times! It's fitting to say that you escaped death.
Barrett, who felt as if he was about to lose his footing, couldn't help but ask, "Noodles, how is your right leg?" It can't be a cracked bone! ”
"It's okay! was the last time to clean up his tongue.,I was accidentally kicked by the other party.。 I didn't expect that guy's strength to be quite strong. This is not a contusion on the crotch is a bit severe. Noodle said through gritted teeth as he turned the dagger on his fingertips.
"You mean to make yourself like this when you go to pack up the captives?" Barrett looked at the noodles, and then at the brawny man with his arms above his knees, who had been tied up by the halfling. Barrett, whose gaze lingered slightly on the opponent's strong upper limbs, could understand the result of being hit by those arms.
If you want to say that the best situation, in addition to Barrett, the team is Laloue and Rielly. They had no open wounds that needed to be treated, except for a dusty body and a few abrasions and bruises.
"Alright! Guys. The most important task is to pry open the mouths of these two enemy survivors! For their own safety. We have to get some information from their mouths. Speaking of this, Barrett looked at the noodles, "The one who kicked you will be handed over to the noodles to be responsible." I'll take care of the one I caught. ”
"You're saying I'm in charge of torture." Noodle pointed to his nose in surprise, "Please, my mission role is a wanderer and not a sheriff, how can this technology be possible?" ”
"But we won't be able to find a third qualified person in our team other than you. When you first studied with your mentor, you also learned some coercion skills. With that, he picked up the caster he had grabbed and walked to the grove by the roadside: "We will interrogate separately and combine the testimony of those two tongues." lest the other party collude with each other,"
"I've heard from a career mentor, but I haven't practiced it yet!" Noodles said with a very embarrassed look. But Barrett saw a glimmer of excitement in his eyes.
Barrett, who had a smile on his face, turned his neck: "Let it go!" No matter what you do, there's always a first time. Anyway, with Miss Bott here, you shouldn't have to worry about whether you're going to hit too hard. But let's do more good deeds! Camp skew is troublesome. ”
"I see, I'll pay attention to that aspect." As he said this, Noodle pulled the tiny blade from his waist that had never been seen before in front of the player.
Soon there were heart-rending wails in the groves and beside the carriage. There were bursts of wails one after another, like a harmonious duet.
As the saying goes, Miki can't ask for anything, both Barrett and Noodle have some of the information they want. Knowing that he would never be able to dig Miki out of the man's mouth again, Barrett happily sent the last or the attacker on his way.
Then Noodles and Barrett began to compare the confessions obtained by the two parties: "That's right! ”
"There seems to be some problem here, which side is more correct?" The noodles point out the difference on the parchment.
Barrett touched his chin: "It should be the mage!" After all, the status of the mage is higher, and it is easier to obtain some confidential treasures. ”
"But if the mage says it, it's possible that he misunderstood. After all, people who spend a lot of time on arcane may not think the same way as ordinary people. As he spoke, he pointed to his head. Then he directly fell in love with Rielly, a brain melon seed.
Then the mage stared at the two and asked, "How long are you two going to argue?" After such a long delay, I don't know when I will be able to feel my destination. ”
"Alright! The specific problem is being analyzed on the road. I'm going to get those two horses back now. With that, Barrett followed the tracks on the ground and began to track down the two horses that had run away.
Fortunately, the old horses know the way, and these horses, which have been bred for a long time, do not run far even after being frightened. Under Barrett's reassurance and treatment, he obediently followed him back to the carriage.
However, due to the impact of arrow wounds, the speed of the two horse-drawn carriages was also much slower. Finally, two days later, the players finally saw the town they hadn't seen for a long time.
Even at sunset, the town's squares were still full of people – merchants and civilians who had already surrounded the squares, as well as street stalls with a big flag: Juli! Below is a bearded brother Gui holding up a sign that reads "Wrist Breaking Challenge" and waiting for this new challenger.
"Let's go find a hotel, I'm starting to miss the soft and warm bed." Claudia. Auditore stretched.
In the slightly dimly lit tavern, the sound of plates and cups clashing with the noise of human voices was mixed up, and every now and then, because of someone's joke, there was a commotion, a whole sheep spinning on the shelf, rosemary and honey all over its body, and from time to time the oil and water exploded and the sheepskin dripped on the fire, and burst into a loud noise. The fire was blazing, and you could hear what was burning in the pot behind it. More than 10 guests chatted over beer. (To be continued)
