Chapter 113: The battle is on the rooftop
Tumbling up from the bottom of a slope is never easy. Even with the help of the reaction force of the previous flying kick, Lalu was unable to further distance himself after dodging the enemy's counterattack. And the mammoth brute, whose attack failed, immediately slammed the short-handled axe in his hand in the direction of Laru's tumbling.
The harsh environment of the Northlands is harsh, but it also gives the inhabitants a stronger physique and a fierce fighting style. At the same time, their years of fishing and hunting also made them as good as the professional pitchers of the Southern Army in terms of throwing weapons, even if they were not full-time marksmen.
The short-handled axe flying in mid-air rushed straight at Lalu with a "whirring" sound. Although the cat boy who was in a tumbling state heard the sound, it was too late to reach out to stop him.
Then only a 'sonorous' sound was heard, and the 'broken peak' in Barrett's hand slammed into the side of the throwing axe. Then the unprofessional throwing weapon flew towards the left side of the catboy. After intercepting the attack on Lalu in time, Barrett immediately rushed towards the brute with a hole in the leather armor on his chest.
I found that I had just driven away a small meat ball, and there was such a big man again, and the usual weapon in his hand was no longer there, and he still felt a little weak. Instinctively, he took two steps back, as if trying to use the strength of his companions to fight the enemy in front of him.
The other two barbarians, who discovered the movements of their companions, immediately put down their work at hand and came to reinforce their companions one by one. The armies of the Mammoth Kingdom are the most obvious tribal armament, and their members are not the hardcore members who grew up together. They are often teammates who go out hunting together. So in terms of fitting. Many times they are more tacit than the average military.
What's more, there are huge groups of giant beasts entrenched in the Northlands. Naturally, the mammoth dynasty, which made a living from fishing and hunting, could not let go of such an important source of protein. But because of the huge reminder and the huge power of those behemoths. With human strength, even with weapons and traps, it is impossible to hunt them alone. Therefore, it is especially important for hunters to cooperate with each other, and their experience can also be applied against strong enemies.
Therefore, even if Barrett was not easy to deal with through his equipment and size, these soldiers of the Mammoth Kingdom did not have the slightest fear. They formed the most stereotyped triangular formation, placing their weapons in positions where they could reinforce each other. Waiting for a close confrontation with Barrett.
However, although the unique military system has brought a considerable degree of tacit understanding to the soldiers of the mammoth kingdom. However, the number of people in each tribe is also limited, and in large-scale battles, each battle often has to involve several tribes to cooperate with the author. But then the problem arises, and the loose structure of the tribal system makes the coordination between the two sides somewhat problematic. So don't look at the mammoth kingdom, it can often win on local battlefields, but in terms of the overall situation, it often suffers a lot.
Fortunately, the situation in front of him fell into the eyes of those mammoth barbarians. It's exactly what they think they're good at. The mammoth barbarian, who had lost his hatchet, immediately pushed up to the front with the foreskin shield in his hand. Then he pulled out a short knife from his waist, as if preparing to find an opportunity to fight back.
On the left, the Horned Helm warrior holding a machete dragged the blade in his hand behind him. Twisting his waist to complete the accumulation, he seemed to be ready to attack Barrett at any moment. The heavy sword on the right was raised high, and at the same time waited for a direct collision with Barrett.
In their minds, one person may not be able to deal with Barrett. But with three people, there is nothing to fear. It's a pity that these guys who don't have a lot of experience on the battlefield are not a martial artist who specializes in war can exert such amazing power.
In the middle of the charge, Barrett directly abandoned the shield-wielding man in front of him, and when he was close to contact, he raised his ankle and temporarily changed his target at the end of the charge. The astonishing power of the 'Giant Mountain Break' exploded in the opponent's chest in an instant—whether it was the outermost layer of leather armor. Or the cushioning cotton clothes used close to the body can't have the effect of the force like a boulder running over.
The tight muscle fibers were torn under the tremendous impact, and the two rows of ribs made a 'gurgling' sound under the squeeze. After a short confrontation. The strong bones could not withstand the strong external force and began to crack. One by one, the ribs broke away from the pre-sternum and plunged inwards into the lobes of the lungs.
"Poof-" The blood foam that eventually poured out was already indicative of the attacker's current state. Barrett, who confirmed the results of the battle with the corner of his eye, did not continue the pursuit, and then he slid his toes and shrank backwards. Dodge the machete wielded by the Horned Helm warrior on the left of the trio.
Then he used his left leg as the axis and his right leg strained his hand, and he held the broken peak's arms and swung it backhand. The wonderful arc of the metal storm cut effortlessly into the throat of the seriously injured man. Then the sword light fell, bypassing the shield held by the shield wielder, and gently slashed across the opponent's arm holding the knife. Whether it is a muscle or a fascia, it is easily cut under this knife. The neatly incised forearm tumbled in mid-air for a few weeks before hitting the ground. But the sloping roof didn't seem to want to keep it—the tumbling continued, and in a blink of an eye it was already out of the eaves and in free fall.
It's a pity that Barrett didn't expect that he had experienced the severe pain of having one of his arms cut off, but the brute in front of him didn't even blink. He endured the pain and waved his remaining arm, allowing the crocodile-wrapped shield to stop Broken Peak's next trajectory.
"Poof, quack—" The shield made by the tribal craftsmen with great effort was simply vulnerable to the ancient weapons. The other party's obstruction not only lost the equipment that had been with him for a long time, but the fleshy palm holding the shield was also cut off three fingers at the same time.
However, such a tragic effort is not without results. Although he couldn't stop the 'metal storm' that Barrett had started, he bought his companions time to escape. The machete-wielding Horned Helm managed to get behind and dodge the dangerous arc.
Then he exerted his legs. He kicked the ground with both feet and lunged at Barrett. It seems that he is planning to take advantage of Barrett's old moves. Catch the opponent's flaws and turn defeat into victory. It's a pity for an experienced battlefield meat grinder. It's not going to be that easy to get that guy's wish.
The flow of Barrett's blood began to speed up, and then he turned his wrist to stop the metal support that had not yet reached the end. Then he turned his wrist, and Barrett's slightly arched legs stretched out like a loaded spring. As his waist twisted, Barrett's blade tore through the air with a loud 'poof' sound.
After a long whistle, the machete in the opponent's hand was cut into two pieces. At the same time, the blade cut through the waist easily cut through the fibrous annulus and nucleus pulposus between the spine, and was split into two different objects along with the other party's intestines and stomach pouch.
But even if the blade in his hand has been broken, even if the top and bottom of himself have been separated. But the horned warrior in front of him still didn't give up. He endured the pain and spread his arms out—as if trying to hold Barrett for a moment.
"Double kill!" Barrett's mouth whispered, and at the same time God had turned to the 'broken peak' on the left. When sweeping back, it has changed from a blade to a blade. Then, as if bowling, the upper half of the enemy's fangs and claws were knocked out.
In a moment, the trio had gone to the second, and the remaining unlucky child was also disabled in the upper limbs, and he had no strength to fight again in a short time. However, this did not give Barrett the advantage of the other party, and the meat grinder on the battlefield that was chasing after him turned sideways and immediately took the last life in front of him. The body of the other party fell backwards, and then fell from the eaves due to the problem of the center of gravity.
After successfully taking out the enemy at this point, Barrett turned his neck. Began to observe the presence of other enemies on the rooftops - although the number of ladders sent by the Mammoth Dynasty was small this time, even after Rielly destroyed two. It can't be that there is only one place left.
Barrett, who didn't find anything to target, immediately shouted at Laru, "You go to the back of there first, and wait until I'm done dealing with the ladder here." Just pass. ”
The triangular spire of the temple resembles a mountain peak, completely blocking the view from both sides. So if you want to know what the situation is on that side, you can only turn it over by yourself.
Because the battle here ended too quickly, Lalu, who had just gotten up, found that he couldn't find his target. The cat man holding the 'scorpion sickle' was still a little dazed, but after hearing Barrett's words, he immediately became full of energy: "Understood! ”
As soon as the kitten, which was as light as a swallow, was happy, and in the blink of an eye, it crossed the 'ridge' and turned to the other side. Barrett wasn't too worried about him, although he was almost injured just now because he was rushing too fast. But with Lalu's fighting talents, there shouldn't be a second mistake like this, at least tonight.
And as long as you are not greedy for merit, then the survivability of the warrior monk on the roof is absolutely undoubted. The strength is too low, the attack is too poor, and what if you can't kill people? A knife can sharpen you like a knife to make you hate it - relying on its swiftness to come and go like the wind, harassing you from far and near, and fighting guerrilla attacks with you in circles. Lalu was still able to delay for a while.
Barrett, who saw his companion leave, immediately focused his eyes on the enemy's 'landing' site in front of him. Unfortunately, at a glance, he could not find any trace of the ladder near the eaves. Barrett, who found out about this, thought to himself: 'Those mammoth barbarians don't look too bad. ’
No matter how undisciplined it was before, after so many years of fighting against the Seven Cities Alliance and the Council of Nobles, how could the Mammoth Dynasty's siege skills not improve at all! Barrett, who had guessed what the other party was doing, cautiously poked his head out of the eaves. Sure enough, there was a ladder leaning in front of him in sight, and a climber who was close to him.
It's too late, it's too soon. The enemy, who had already been ambushed at the top of the ladder, instantly slashed the scimitar upwards. Spotting the danger, Barrett's pupils shrank suddenly. Then his waist swung back like a spring, and the whole person hid back on the roof. The eaves shielded him from the follow-up attack - but a deep scratch on the cheap helmet seemed to tell the thrill of the moment.
'The location has been confirmed, now you guys are playing kebabs. Barrett had already been mentally prepared for the encounter just now. After all, tactics like this, which do not talk about the ladder and rely on the tower completely, were very common in previous wars. This will make the siege team climb to the end, and it will take a little extra effort. However, it can prevent the entire ladder from being completely overturned by the defenders at the head of the city.
Guided by the idea of the lesser of two sides, there were not a few troops who made this choice - especially those siege teams that did not have special barbs installed at the head of the ladder. Barrett, who had relevant experience during the test, naturally understood at first glance what tricks the other party was playing.
However, in this case, it is not easy to completely solve the other party's ladder from the rooftop, relying on violence alone. Fortunately, the experienced Barrett had already prepared for this, and thanks to the abundant materials in the warehouse of the Church of the 'Goddess of Wealth and Business', Barrett had the props on hand for this situation.
"Bang Dang" A clay oil pot immediately smashed into the mammoth warrior on the top of the ladder. The scattered grease not only drenched him, but also ran down his armor and walls onto the ladder. But just as Barrett took out a bottle of red fire gel and was about to play 'BBQ'. He felt a pang of danger for no apparent reason.
Barrett, who believed in his sixth sense, immediately gave up his previous plan, and then continued to swing his legs and retreated for a long distance. Unfortunately, his speed still couldn't catch up with the other party's reaction, and a huge fireball exploded where Barrett had stood before.
From the moment the corpses of the trio fell, the mammoth barbarians underground knew that there was hard stubble on the roof. And Barrett's later actions gave the other side a continuation of the positioning. As long as it is a commander with a normal brain, he will choose to use magic to wash a wave of ground first. This situation is also said to be inevitable. (To be continued.) )
