Chapter 114: Escape
Not to mention Barrett, even the remaining attackers were taken aback by the demon warrior's actions. And the long-haired brute with the giant sword in his hand was even more at this moment, and he hit the invisible but touchable force field wall without braking, making a loud 'bang' sound.
Barrett, who turned to guard against the attacker's possible follow-up, seemed to hear a faint 'click' behind the impact. He subconsciously swept it with his own peripheral vision, and immediately saw the barbarian's sky-facing nose - and the collection of the still bleeding nasal passages showed that the shape of the nose was not innate. It's an injury that came from a blow just now.
And at this moment, the barbarian is like knocking over a five-flavor bottle, salty, sour, bitter, and spicy hairs are all locked in the trachea. Then the snot and tears flowed uncontrollably with the nosebleedβa spontaneous stress reaction, like a conditioned reflex, that does not depend on the will of man. So this barbarian showed a humiliating scene in front of everyone at this moment that he had never imagined.
However, at this time, everyone's attention in front of him was attracted by the Kamen Demon warrior and the attacker who died at his hands. So no one but the brute cared about his humiliating appearance. Because the Kamen Demon Warrior's response just now was too amazing, and it gave his own side of the accomplices a great shock.
In order to escape from Barrett's blade, this demon warrior who has mastered the inheritance of multiple genres had to take out his own spell 'Flying Blade Attack' that pressed the bottom of the box. However, the spell 'Flying Blade' is not a normal displacement spell, but should be classified as an attack spell.
And with the masked warrior in front of him in terms of his attainments in spells. Naturally, there is no ability to modify the original spell. Even if he had, he wouldn't have been able to make such a massive engineering change to Flying Blade Strike - after all, the spell was originally developed to raid enemies. This change is completely a matter of buying and returning the pearl, and it is better to look for and see if there is a feasible teleportation spell.
So when casting this spell, the Kamen Demon warrior in front of him had to choose a target to attack. If it were common sense. The Kamen Demon warrior in front of him was right because he chose Barrett's companion as his target. However, the situation at that time could not be said to be incompatible with Barrett's blade. In this state, he didn't have time to turn his head to find his target.
For the sake of his own life, this Kamen Demon warrior chose his comrades as a stepping stone to escape without even thinking about it. In fact, it's not uncommon for similar situations to happen on the battlefield. However, in many cases, they do not want to have such a great impact as the situation in front of them - because in most cases it is just a shield, and the victim dies at the hands of the enemy. And the one in front of him was directly killed by his own companions, and the direct impact of the two on the surrounding comrades-in-arms is naturally incomparable.
Such a shocking picture immediately crushed the psychology of the surviving attackers in the vicinity of Kamen Demon Warriors. No one knows if if he continues to fight, the silver-haired comrade-in-arms in front of him will choose to act as his escape stepping stone next time. Their original morale, which had been unable to fight for a long time, completely fell to the bottom at this moment.
Look at the dramatic change in front of you. Barrett couldn't help but be overjoyed: 'I didn't expect that white-haired ghost to do such a thing!' That's really helping us. Since that's the case, let him go for the time being, and go and solve the other people's ...... first.'
Of course, Barrett's thoughts weren't really grateful. He took advantage of the Kamen Demon battle to distance himself, and the long-haired brute was frustrated by the force field wall. Immediately, he launched a charge at the minions who were beating the side drums. The long knife walked towards the leader, and with a cold light, the two attackers in front of him were cut off by Barrett with armor. The snowflakes and flesh foam flying up and down, as well as the filthy internal organs, instantly filled the surrounding area with a disgusting smell.
The big sniper who has completed the first kill has no intention of stopping. With his left leg as the axis and his right leg exerting force, he twisted his waist and swung out the Mo knife to cut off an enemy before he could castrate. This was followed by another 'sonorous' sound. The sword of one of the attackers subconsciously defensive. It was directly flying by Barrett's huge force.
Then the Mo knife slashed at his right arm that was originally holding the sword without slowing down, and the sharp blade cut through the muscle fascia with heavy force, easily cutting off the forearm. Then Barrett waved his hand upwards with his heel, and the opponent's head was chopped off along with his right shoulder.
This time, the blood column gushing out could be much higher than before. This caused many of the surrounding attackers to be drenched in the rain of blood. Coupled with the impact of the previous Kamen Demon warfare methods, the minions of these attackers were finally broken through the last line of defense in their minds - their already low morale completely collapsed.
The attackers who had been surrounding Barrett were the first to drop their weapons and flee to the exit of the alley. No matter how the inarticulate barbarian screamed and threatened at that moment, he had no intention of stopping. Judging from their scrambling actions, I really hate that my parents can't give themselves an extra pair of legs and feet!
In the middle of a battle, a rout and flight often triggers a chain reaction. After the first dominoes fell. An avalanche is no longer inevitable. The next ones who began to flee were the crossbowmen who were firing the phalanx in the distance. These are on one side and Claudia. The vines created by Auditore are entangled, and the guy who is out of the way can be said to have a good understanding of the situation in the alley.
Finding that the situation is not good, they are infected by other deserters. He also turned around and stepped out of his legs. However, unlike the first deserters who had a complete psychological breakdown, their escape was not easy. Because a considerable number of these shooters were entangled in the powerful vines, and they could not move. After using the machete on his waist to clean up, he stumbled and began his own path to survival.
And the two pairs who were responsible for stopping Barrett also knew that they couldn't do anything after seeing the current situation. After all, siege missions require more than just high-end combat power. The sheer number of undertones is also a key factor. Without their arrays to stop him, if Barrett wanted to break through, the combination of demon warriors and barbarians alone would not be able to stop him.
Of course, this is the ideal state in the imagination of the other party. The real picture is that the pair, although they caused Barrett a lot of problems, ended up falling behind. The Kamen Demon Warrior, who had just been stained with his own human blood with his sword, suddenly split into three and began to start his escape with the help of a mirror image. However, for Barrett, who has the ability to 'penetrate spell cover', his fantasies have little impact.
Unfortunately, Barrett had no intention of pursuing at the moment, because even the farthest exit in the alley in front of him was only 100 feet from the main road. Launching a pursuit in such a situation will most likely allow the battle to continue above the main road. This will bring great inconvenience to the next interrogation of the city guards.
Just this delay that Barrett was considering. The long-haired barbarian also fled with a giant sword in one hand. It has to be said that the barbarian was a high-speed profession with the warrior monk in the early stage, and the muscular man quickly caught up with his accomplice who was running ahead of him. Then it quickly disappeared into the alleyway.
After solving the problem on his side, Barrett immediately turned to support his companions. However, it turns out that there are few fools in this world who are not afraid of death. After Barrett faces an enemy who fled. Originally and Clematis. Both, whose attackers were holding on to a bad situation, began to retreat.
However, unlike the other side's scrambling to escape, the attackers on this side did not feel too much pressure, but retreated quite orderly. However, after seeing Barrett walking towards them, they immediately sped up the swing of their legs. Thanks to the fact that the direction you are in is closer to the intersection. They also quickly disappear from the player's view.
Barrett, who came to his companions, saw the dwarf suddenly sit on the ground covered in blood and dust. Barrett, who was worried about whether there was something wrong with the other party, immediately quickened his pace: "Anvil, how are you doing?" β
"Nope! Do not worry! The dwarf sitting on the ground gasped in response. I, I just haven't fought such a tiring battle. Madam Pastor's healing is really timely, and this is the first time I've seen a healing spell like a ray! β
"It's not a special spell, it's just that the props that Kleimatis has give them such a unique effect." Barrett, who had said this, had already walked over to the dwarf's side.
"Is that the effect of a strange thing? If I hadn't had that thing, I might have been in real danger this time. The dwarf who said this glanced at the armor on his body, and then sighed: "It's just that my slatted armor is probably going to be scrapped." I just don't know if there is no value in repair? β
Hearing this, Barrett glanced down at the dwarf's blood-stained slatted armor. Only then did he realize that the armor in front of him had been broken, and the slats that played the role of defense were broken. Even the leather links inside have broken down a lot. The whole piece of gear feels like it's going to fall apart at any moment.
The scarlet background exposed under several gaps in the armor should be the traces of the dwarven warrior's injuries in previous battles. Just like he said. If it weren't for Clematis. Bot's treatment was timely, and he was afraid that he would not be able to survive the attacker's retreat and lay on the ground.
At this time, the team's chief healer, Clematis. Bote, waving his arm, walked to the other side of the anvil: "Don't be so sad! It's not that the old doesn't go, the new doesn't come, anyway, your full-body armor is already in the store. Now this set on my body will be thrown into the store for depreciation sooner or later. Is it time to put everything to good use? β
"Miss Pastor! Your performance in battle just now really surprised me! I never thought that a pastor would be able to fight so amazingly. "The dwarf who staggered to his feet with his hands on the floor. Ignoring the sludge from his injury, he touched his beard.
Hearing this, Clematis. Bot was stunned for a moment, and then looked at the anvil rather strangely: "The combat effectiveness of the War Shepherd after blessing the state is even higher than that of the warrior. I think this is common knowledge that everyone on the mainland knows! And I remember that I was in the second team before, too, there were priests! It's strange how you haven't seen it. β
"That's because the priest in my original team preferred to hold a little short bow and put cold arrows in the back! But in fact, her shooting skills are not very good, and her corresponding speed in healing is not as fast as yours. Anvil said as he inadvertently began to expose the shortcomings of his old companions.
However, Barrett even without investigating, believes that Anvil is not exaggerating in order to please his new teammates. Although he hadn't spent much time with the parrot before, Barrett could tell that the girl was not a proper priest in the game. She doesn't have a clear understanding of her position, and more often she stands on her female identity and hopes to get more to come.
So Barrett really can't imagine that the one will endure the pain and take the initiative to take on the task of the front row. And the number of heavy armor professionals in the second team is also relatively large, and in most things, it is not necessary to let Mu Shi also be in front. However, Anvil also seems to be dissatisfied with the parrot's performance in shooting and healing, which makes Barrett happy with the earliest selection of detachments.
However, although he secretly felt sorry for his 'wise act' in his heart, Barrett still reminded in his mouth: "Anvil! Nor is it a gentleman's behavior to talk about right and wrong behind the scenes. While I'm sure no one will take the initiative to complain, there's no guarantee that they won't be told the next time we meet. β
Hearing this, the dwarf left and closed his mouth. And at this time, Rieli, who had changed back to her original appearance, also spoke: "Anyway, Barrett, what do you think should happen in this situation?" We're going to clean up the battlefield and get out before the city guards arrive!" Wait until they come over and file a complaint. β
"Let me think about it! After all, there may be too many things involved in the current situation. I'm not quite sure if I made the right choice. At this point, Barrett frowned. (To be continued......)
