Chapter 0508: Attack and Kill (2)
In the middle of the night, Lord Exxon's heart suddenly shook like a drum. It was as if a thousand gongs were striking in his ears, his scalp exploded, and his unspeakable irritability woke him up in his sleep.
Tias, loyal to his duty, shouted, and heavy, dense footsteps came from the hallway outside the door. You don't have to look, just by listening, you can feel a strong guy rushing towards the staircase.
With the sound of footsteps, the lord's heart suddenly tightened. When he opened his eyes, the room was pitch black. But there was another crisp sound outside the door, the clash of the tower shield and the knight's sword, followed by the screams of Tias breaking through the window.
Don't think about it, someone outside the door came to sneak attack, and the rookie of that family was finished.
The lord's heart beat even harder.
The room was supposed to be the mayor's bedroom, and the lights went out all night.
According to Exxon's thoughts, his side only started to rob the transport convoy of the 'Harmony Chamber of Commerce' and arrived in Green Valley Town yesterday afternoon. When the situation is clarified on the side of Cold Wind City, it will take three to five days to react.
That's fast.
Although talking to Tias about Coldwind City would be tricky if he reacted quickly. But Exxon and Tuiren, past experience told him that no matter how fast the opponent was, he couldn't chase him down immediately.
From information transmission, to judgment and decision-making, to assembly and organization, it is not easy for a chasing team to appear in front of their eyes. This requires an extremely efficient centralized force.
The Long-legged family could have spent two days in Green Valley Town and then think about how to deal with it. But not long after I fell asleep, a thunderstorm struck.
The maid who was sleeping heard the commotion outside the door and shrank back in fear. They felt the bed board vibrate, and the lord on the bed sat up suddenly, shouting and touching his weapons and equipment.
Before going to bed, Exxon kept his armor weapon at the foot of the bed so that it was readily available. But the enemy came so suddenly, and Tias at the door didn't resist a move, which left him too short a time.
The enemy is too vile.
The lord didn't have time to get dressed, he only touched his one-handed battle axe, and the door shattered, and sawdust flew wildly. A tall human ranger with a tower shield and a war knife in his hand slammed into it fiercely.
Being prepared and not being prepared are two different things.
Exxon was caught off guard and had nothing but a pair of pants. He couldn't even see the appearance of his opponent clearly, he only knew that the evil wind was pressing his face, and he was going to be unlucky.
Ice Wall!
At the moment of life and death, the lord gritted his teeth and raised his arm, and a green jade ring on his finger was shining. A thick wall of ice appeared within a few meters of the door to the bed, splitting the room in two.
The Ranger's tower shield collided with the ice wall, making a muffled sound, and the thick ice wall immediately cracked like a spider's web. The Ranger took a few steps back and struck again with his shield, the crack widening.
The light from the jade ring illuminated the room, and the sight of the situation startled the lord even more—the attacker on the opposite side was carrying a half-man-high tower shield.
The tower shield was made entirely of metal, and the size made people feel that it was not light.
With the time provided by the ice wall, Exxon didn't have time to get dressed, so he hurriedly put on his armor. If you really fight, it's two different things to have a nail or not.
Taking advantage of this, the lord still has to estimate the strength of his opponent. But just looking at the shield, he felt that tonight's attack was not pleased.
Few adventurers use a shield because it's too cumbersome. Even if you use it, you often have a small round shield temporarily, which can protect the vital point and block it easily.
The tower shield is used in large-scale battles, and is generally made of hardwood, and is strengthened by high-grade iron bars. Because this thing is very heavy and large, it is better not to use it if you don't have some strength.
But the adventurer who can really use the tower shield well must be a master.
The human ranger only used three shield strikes, and the ice wall was destroyed in more than ten seconds before and after. This is only enough time for the lord on the other end to drink a tube of mixed potion for himself.
Dark vision, the tenacity of a bear, the strength of a cow, and the elegance of a cat, a well-matched, effective potion mixture costs at least 500 gold coins. It can multiply the strength of the user.
In order to survive, Lord Exxon didn't care too much, and his sturdy body thickened under the effect of the potion, and his body instantly swelled.
A whining roar came out of his throat, the power in his chest shook the room, and the dust from the ceiling fell with a pop.
The maid turned over and hid under the bed, and was frightened by the roar and fainted on the spot. The human rangers who launched the attack also underwent a will test in the sound, and if they couldn't pass, they would feel dizzy.
Taking this opportunity, the erupting Exxon jumped up from the head of the bed, his burly figure was like a giant bear, and the raised tomahawk was wrapped in a cloud of snowflakes, cutting his face in the cold wind and slashing in the air.
This blow was like a thunderbolt and lightning that struck the human ranger's tower shield with a roar. Exxon relied on his physique and strength strengthened by potions to deliver critical hits.
In the face of heavy shields and heavy armor, ordinary swords are useless at all. It's either spear piercing, a critical hit from a heavy weapon like a hammer axe, or arcane magic.
Exxon's hard blow also comes with the power of frost, and if you want to break the defense under the critical hit, it is best to smash this damn tower shield, and by the way, it is best to smash the opponent's skull.
Generally the shields are made of wood, which is remarkably reinforced with pig iron bars. Pig iron is too brittle and can easily be smashed open by the heavy blows of the tomahawk.
As for why the opponent's metal shield looks shiny, what kind of material is it? How could Lord Exxon have so much to think about when he made a move?
With a bang, the axes and shields collided. The room lit up with sparks.
The moment he struck, Lord Exxon felt that the feeling at hand was not quite right. The force was not solid, and the frost-infused axe blade slashed to the side.
The tower shield is made in an arc, and the forces that attack it can be easily dispersed.
The expected smashing of the shield did not occur, except for the sparks that lit up in the darkness, and the tomahawk only left a deep scratch on the shield.
Isn't this shield too hard?!
Even if you can't smash the shield, the power of the potion should be able to break the opponent's shield arm - but it doesn't.
The Human Ranger is also physically robust and also takes potions to strengthen it before fighting. Not only did he parry Exxon's tomahawk blows, but he also fended off the impact of his opponent's massive volley.
The two sides parted with one blow, and they were both shocked.
Exxon was surprised where this was the attacker, not to mention the sneak attack with a shield, and the strength was extraordinarily strong.
The human ranger was glad that he had endured a heavy blow, and he also had an intuitive understanding of the strength of this noble knight.
Not easy to deal with!
"Who are you?" Exxon took a half-step back and asked sharply. He didn't believe that the other side was a nobody.
"Coldwind City, Rich and Strong Leader, Victor. Hugo's command, Mahan. "The human ranger is full of spirit, and he feels that he can force the long-legged lord to retreat, which is the pinnacle of his life.
Exxon was angry and asked hatefully, "I've never heard of this name." With such strength as you, why should you take refuge in the barbarians of the Black Forest? ”
The human ranger laughed, and the sword and shield in his hand cooperated, slashing sharply. He shouted angrily as he attacked,
"Arrogant and despicable noble lord, I have lived in Cold Wind City for fifteen years, fought for fifteen years, and fought for fifteen years.
But for fifteen years, I didn't have a place to stay, I didn't have any savings and wealth, I didn't have my beloved, I tried my best to work hard, but I didn't have anything.
Because everything has been taken away by you nobles. ...... you, how have you ever looked down at a little person like me?
If you can be unreasonable, you will be unreasonable, and if you have a little reason, you will have no choice but to do so. How many times have I been oppressed by you in the past fifteen years? I can't even count it myself.
I cried all night when I learned that the Longlegs had been kicked out of Coldwind City, and I rushed out of my shack and shouted to the sky and the earth for joy.
For those who have been bullied and persecuted by you, I do not hesitate to ask Victor. His Excellency Hugo pledged his allegiance and vowed to cut off several of the sinful heads of the long-legged family.
Despicable nobles, justice has come today! ”
