Chapter 20: The Soldier (3)
The thing was at least two meters tall, and it was covered in armor made of Venada steel, and the armor was carved with magic patterns.
Gaia stared into the eyes of the soldier, and sure enough, there was no armor covering it.
He shouted.
"Fire."
Ordered to do so, the screeching of Okasim's salute echoed through the streets, and dozens of projectiles hit the soldier together, but only a few landed on its head.
Just as Gaia thought, a magic shield rose in front of the soldier's eye, and even if the soldier successfully hit the soldier's eye, the projectile would never be able to break through this magic shield.
In a hail of bullets, the soldiers slowly walked towards Gaia.
Its original goal was to climb the walls, but it recognized Gaia, so it decided to spend a moment killing the leader of the Griffon Legion.
It didn't take much time, but it was a big deal.
Through the soldiers, Gaia looked far away at the city gates, where the noise was much quieter, and the cavalry regiment was retreating.
This was not good news, as it indicated that the Vinada infantry phalanx was advancing, and it seemed that they did believe in the secret weapon of the soldier.
The sluggish soldiers gradually approached, and the soldiers did not dare to continue firing for fear of accidentally injuring Gaia, and the gunfire gradually stopped.
"The Venada soldiers."
Gaia narrowed his eyes, he lowered the tip of his sword to the ground, dragged his heavy sword with both hands, and ran towards the soldier.
The soldier slowly moved as well, stiffly but effectively picking up speed as the magic patterns flickered on its legs.
The two soon got closer.
Gaia was tall and one of the best in the Griffin Army, but his size and armor weren't in the same order of magnitude at all, but he wasn't afraid of it.
Because the soldier is just a soldier dressed in Vinada steel, it is still a human being.
"Huh!"
Gaia let out a low snort, and he raised his heavy sword diagonally, swinging it at the soldier from the bottom up.
The soldier raised his right fist, which didn't need to defend at all, and slammed it into Gaia's head.
It can't defend itself, but Gaia can't.
Swinging the heavy sword halfway, Gaia lifted the heavy sword back, and then the whole person's center of gravity pressed down, sliding from the soldier's crotch, the soldier really didn't react, its fist still swung out, and the whole person walked forward half a step.
Taking advantage of this precious time, Gaia quickly got up, and he looked behind his back at the soldier's armor, which was assembled and must have a gap!
By the time the soldiers turned around slowly, Gaia had already distanced himself.
He didn't think soldiers were invincible, but the Ocassims were at a loss when they first came into contact with it.
Lifting the heavy sword, Gaia slowly walked to the side, and the soldier moved with him, turning slowly as it turned.
After walking half a circle, Gaia suddenly picked up speed, and he rushed diagonally towards the soldiers.
The soldier didn't think Gaia could hurt it, and it raised its right hand clumsily and punched Gaia from top to bottom.
Gaia retreated, dodging the punch, but Gaia's blade lost its momentum, and it slid lightly across the soldier's armor, not even a single mark was left.
Pulling away again, Gaia gasped heavily.
There was no room for the slightest mistake in the confrontation with the soldiers, and the high level of tension caused his physical strength to be depleted rapidly, and the two attacks alone almost exhausted him.
This is true as the commander of the griffon army, not to mention the ordinary soldiers.
"Don't go over."
Seeing that the soldiers around him wanted to sneak up on the soldiers from the flanks, Gaia shouted in a low voice, and his voice was very hoarse.
"Commander Gaia!"
The soldiers looked at Gaia worriedly, their eyes full of determination.
"This thing is bulky, let's try it!"
"Don't go over!"
Gaia repeated, staring at the soldier from afar, his brain running at full speed.
It is true that the soldiers possess absolute power, but their power comes from the magic patterns engraved on the Vinada steel, which are by no means endless.
If your 5,000 soldiers can't even solve the problem, then the Okasims just choose to surrender!
Gaia gradually calmed down, and he felt as if his toes were numb, and the cold sensation reminded him of his days in the North.
In the face of powerful dragons, humans are as small as ants.
The Okasimites can still defeat even the dragons, let alone the soldiers of this area.
Spitting, Gaia shouted.
"Prepare the dragon crossbow! Listen to me! ”
When listening to Badr's order to defend Turin, Gaia asked people to prepare dozens of dragon crossbows, although dragon crossbows are useless on this kind of battlefield, but at Gaia's insistent request, the griffin army still brought a few dragon crossbows to Stari City.
Seeing that Gaia had not attacked for a long time, the soldier took the initiative to walk towards him, and he raised his left hand, and a long knife came out of the gap in its armor, which was at least one and a half meters long.
If such a weapon is allowed to enter the crowd, it will be a disaster for ordinary soldiers.
Gaia tightened his sword, he had to restrain his soldiers, and then aim his crossbow at a point so that he could break the armor on his soldiers.
The soldier ran, more exaggerated than walking, but also more rapid.
Gaia took a deep breath, pressed the soles of her feet against the gaps in the slabs, and charged towards the soldiers.
The soldier slashed at Gaia's waist from the bottom to the top, and Gaia could barely avoid it.
Gaia let out a muffled roar and lifted the hilt of her sword upwards.
Seeing his movements, the soldier flipped the blade of his sword and slashed at Gaia from the bottom up, but unfortunately it was fooled.
Gaia had no intention of avoiding the sword from above, he lowered his head to avoid the blade, then changed his grip to lift, grasped the heavy sword behind his back, and slammed it into the soldier's left knee with a roar.
"Huh!"
With this roar, Gaia's jaws almost tore open.
The heavy sword let out a loud sword sound, and the armor of the soldier's left leg made a muffled sound, and its momentum was completely blocked by the heavy sword, and the whole person hit the ground with his head and slammed down.
Gaia would not miss such an opportunity, stepping over the fallen soldier and finding a gap in his helmet and neck.
The tiger's jaw had cracked, and Gaia gripped the sword with his remaining four fingers, and thrust it into the gap with all his might.
Sure enough, the blue magic shield lit up again, and the shield was only a thin layer, but Gaia knew that he would never be able to break through it.
But he never thought about breaking through this magic shield, he just wanted to make this magic shield light up!
Normal people who want to get up from the ground usually have to borrow the help of their hands, and the same is true for soldiers.
But it has a long knife in its left hand, so it can't use its strength, so it can only use its right hand to support the ground, and then try to get up. As long as Gaia stepped on its right arm, the soldier would not be able to get up from the ground!
Stepping on the soldier's right elbow, Gaia shouted.
"Put!"
The wielders were the most experienced archers in the army, and several dragon crossbows whizzed out from the bowstrings, spinning and blasting towards the soldiers' necks.
The arrowhead of the dragon crossbow is also made of Vinada steel, and it is also engraved with a magic pattern by the Okasim conjurer, and the thing spins and shoots at the soldier's head.
Sensing the danger, the Venada steel on the soldier's head glowed brightly, and the silver of the steel itself quickly faded into gray with the flickering light, which meant that the magic contained in the Venada steel was rapidly consumed.
The distance of 100 meters was only in the blink of an eye, and the dragon crossbow crashed into the light.
