Chapter 68: The Bitter Battle Outside the Camp
() Single quarters for the Papal Guard in the Papal Hall on Holy Papal Island
Julien Rousseau was studying at night, and it had been more than a month since he was transferred to the Papal Guard, and this period of house arrest was oppressive, but it was also good, that is, there was a lot of free time, and the Pope did not give Julian any tasks, so that he could spend all day idle
Freedom of movement in the world outside the Papal Palace was already out of reach, and he could only move around the Papal Palace every day, because his weapons and armor had been lost in the battle with the necromancer, in that deserted town in the western part of the Fayele Empire, and the other members of the Papal Guard would never play swordsmanship with a person who practiced using a wooden sword, so Julian's swordsmanship had barely improved for more than a month, so he tried to make the most of his free time to improve himself in another way: light magic
In the past, although Julian had been promoted to the rank of church knight, he focused too much on the practice of swordsmanship and other combat skills and neglected the study of light magic, so the original Julian's understanding of light magic was relatively superficial, and he only mastered the basic healing techniques and other very early magic was already satisfied;
Knock knock knock - Julian, who was studying carefully, heard a knock at the door, and when he opened it, he found a personal priest of the Pope standing outside the door
His Majesty the Pope of Rousseau Knights pleased
A few minutes later in the hall of the Papal Palace
His Majesty didn't know what it was to summon Julian here in the middle of the night, and Julian said on his knees in front of the Pope
Julian, you've been in the Papal Guard for more than a month, and the voice behind the silver mask is still the same deep and emotionless voice
Yes, His Majesty, Julian, he couldn't think of what the purpose of this masked man was looking for him so late
Now I have an important task for you to complete, this is your first mission since joining the guard, and you are confident that you can complete it, okay?
Mission: Julian's eyes suddenly lit up, no matter what kind of mission he could get him out of this papal palace, he would gladly accept it, although he had been to the papal palace many times before, but he didn't know why, after returning this time, this solemn papal palace gave him a very heavy feeling of depression, which made Julian breathless
That's right, it's an important secret mission, I believe you have enough strength to complete it, and as the Pope spoke, Julian noticed an object covered in brocade cloth appearing in front of him, and I know that you have lost your weapons and armor in battle, so in order for you to complete the mission perfectly, I will give you new weapons and armor
After the Pope's words, the brocade cloth slipped completely, and only to see a brand new suit of armor and two sharp knights' swords appear in front of Julian
Excited Julien Rousseau, who praised His Majesty the Pope for his determination to complete his task, swore an oath to the Pope sitting on the throne
Outside the Returnant Camp at the edge of the Elven Forest
Hehe, you said that you have been waiting here for a long time, could it be that you have already known our plan to escape, and at this time, the calmest of the companions is Joika, but he still nervously put his hands on Chang Zhang and Arrow Feathers respectively
It's not that I know, it's the old marshal Alice who smiled coldly
The old man...... Ray said
That's right, it was me, and an old but loud voice came from behind Alice, and then everyone saw Olkid Duszk, dressed in a dark red robe, appearing behind Alice, looking down at the people down the hill with a very majestic look
Old marshal, we do have very important matters to deal with in the Elven Forest, please ......
Her Royal Highness the Princess didn't wait for Sophia to finish speaking, and Oldid interrupted her, since you are determined to abandon your people, then don't blame Orgid for offending, Your Highness should have experienced the strength of the royal knight more deeply than everyone else, After speaking, Oldid tore off the dark red robe on his body with a bang, revealing the royal knight's battle armor and a broad-bladed two-handed giant sword, and a gray cloak behind him, and a red flame pattern in the shape of a heart was printed on the hunting cloak
Old marshal, do you really want to...... Seeing that Alkid was fully armed, Sophia tried to dissuade her, but Alkid interrupted her again: stop talking nonsense, let's do it
Whoever is talking nonsense to you, while the others hesitated, Ray acted first, and he rushed towards Oldid with his spear in hand, trying to knock down the battle-hardened veteran knight as quickly as possible in a surprise attack, and avoid possible greater casualties on both sides
However, Jiang is still old and spicy, and when Lei just made a move, he had already noticed it, only to see the old man calmly raise his two-handed giant sword, and his body took a step to the side, forcing away Lei's strong mid attack, and at the same time, the giant sword slammed up, and the giant sword collided with the spear, and Lei was bounced out
I didn't expect him to be so old and still so powerful, and Lei, who was numb in his mouth, gritted his teeth and said
Hmph, I was still nursing in the midst of the bloody battle, you stinking children, Alkid stared, raised his greatsword and rushed down the hill, then jumped with both feet and slashed into the middle of the crowd
Be careful, Cassius was startled and immediately turned around Ischennova's wheelchair and pushed her away
The few people who had gathered together scrambled to dodge Orgid's jump slash, and although it didn't hurt anyone, it completely disrupted their originally tight formation
Feeling an attack coming from behind, Oldid turned around and made a sword princess help you recover your health you can t use the power that the princess gave back to you to fight against her was shaken back several steps memph said
The princess helped you recover your health, you can't use the power that the princess gave back to you to fight against her, and Monfic, who was shocked back several steps, said
Don't take this as an excuse for cowardice to escape, saying that Alkid slashed at Memphik a few times, the huge two-handed broad-bladed giant sword, once it hits the fragile one, there is only one result: one knife and two pieces, Memphik is not a troll with a strong rebirth ability, he didn't dare to take it hard, and hurriedly dodged to both sides, but the old man swung his sword with both arms at an extremely fast speed, and where Memphik hid, his sword slashed
Memphik let Joeyka's voice and his arrows arrive at the same time, and Memphik flashed to the right very tacitly, causing Alkid to pick up the greatsword and slash to the left, so that he exposed the defense on the right, and felt the attack from the right, Alkid hurriedly returned the sword, and the arrows with fire slammed into the broad blade of the greatsword with a bang, and the wooden arrow body was crushed under the strong impact pressure
At this time, Memphik only felt a warm white light shining on him, making him feel light and fast, before the next round of Orkid's attack, Memphik decisively used the speed of Sophia's blessing on him to jump out of the battle circle, but the battle was not interrupted because of this, and in the next second, Ray rejoined the battlefield
It seems that you are the weakest of them, so use you as an entry point, Alice shouted as she rushed towards Ishnova
Under the protection of the water elemental, no one wanted to hurt Ishnova, and as soon as Cassius's voice fell, a wall of ice lay across the path between Alice and Ishnova
Alice punched the ice wall, the ice wall did not damage in the slightest, and the powerful impact bounced her out, and the fat man didn t think that your little tricks were still of some use, Alice said to Cassius
My ice wall can't be destroyed by the strength of even a detachment, Cassius replied
I believe you in that, but unfortunately I am stronger than the strength of a detachment, Alice smiled coldly, and then she burst into the air with a loud cry and slammed her fist into the ice wall, and her steel-gloved fist collided violently with the ice wall after concentrating all her strength, only to see ice chips splash everywhere, and the ice wall cracked and quickly shattered into pieces
Two punches broke my ice wall, Cassius was a little stunned
However, Alice didn't leave him much time to think, she knew that the key to victory in the battle between warriors and mages was to stay away from Alice, who had shattered the ice wall, and rush towards Cassius at full speed
Suddenly, a small red test tube flew towards Alice and shattered, in front of her, Alice, who realized that something was wrong, hurriedly jumped back, only to see a fire ignited on the ground where the small test tube was broken, don't underestimate me, I can fight, Ishennova said unconvinced
However, the small test tube made by Ischennova was not large enough, and the fire did not burn for long before it was extinguished, and Alice, who was blocked, wanted to continue to rush forward, but then she found herself surrounded by a cloud of mist, and then she found that the water element in the mist was rapidly lowering the temperature and condensing countless ice needles, bad Alice shouted, and then protected her head with her hands wearing iron gloves, only to hear a clanging sound of hitting metal, and countless ice needles condensed in the mist shot at Alice who was trapped in the middle
After the rain ended, Alice was frozen into ice sculptures and froze in place
Cassius wiped a handful of sweat: It's really dangerous just now Ishnova thank you
Don't be happy too soon, it was a girl's voice that responded to him, but not from Ischennova, I saw that the surface of Alice's ice sculpture cracked, and then with a bang, Alice actually broke through the ice covering her surface
The armor on my body is made by a famous dwarven blacksmith and can withstand ordinary magical attacks, Alice said proudly
The armored dwarf and everything are going to disappear in front of my young master Lyle, and Lyle is not willing to be ignored, just now, he has completed the chanting of the spell, only to see a fireball flying towards Alice, but Alice takes a step sideways, easily dodging the slow fireball
Before she could gain a foothold, a stream of freezing energy was already rapidly approaching, and Alice hurriedly did a backflip to dodge the extremely fast frozen energy
Even if your armor can resist magic, there is a limit to energy, otherwise what are you dodging, Cassius saw the weakness of Alice's armor at a glance, and then he said to the two siblings next to him, Lyle and Ischennova, attack as much as you want, I also want to know how much energy her armor has to resist our magic
For a while, the swift ice arrows, sparse fireballs and all kinds of small test tubes smashed towards Alice, only to see that Alice's face was very ugly, the armor she was only proud of was suddenly seen through by the opponent, and there was no longer the madness just now, she retreated again and again to avoid the attack, so that the distance was repeatedly widened
On the other side, Memphik and Ray relied on Sophia's blessing to fight fiercely with Alkid, and from time to time released cold arrows to sneak attack, although they could not pose a mortal threat to the reflexive Alkid, but repeatedly disrupted the rhythm of his attacks, allowing his companions to bear it, and although the old Alkid was one against four, he was brave and undiminished, and the hundred-kilogram two-handed broad-bladed giant sword was danced in the wind, and this heavy weapon was as light as a child's toy in his hand
The two sides actually fought to a draw
At this time, Oldid's body was already burning with the flying machine's more and more vigorous battle spirit, and the power of a golden dragon rose from Thunder's body
I sense that your power, although it is not a war spirit, has the ability to match the war spirit, and Alkid said to Ray, so you must be defeated first
Saying that, the old knight slashed at the thunder several times in a row, although with the blessing of the dragon's power, the thunder was still very difficult to resist, and in the contest of pure power, the profound battle spirit power finally overwhelmed the power of the dragon, which was only one level of the dragon's power, and saw that the giant sword pressed down on the thunder's forehead little by little
Memphik launched a surprise attack from behind to relieve Thunder, and the old knight turned around to block and easily shook Memphik away, and Ray also took the opportunity to jump out of the range of the greatsword
However, it was Ray and Memphik's retreat that gave way to an offensive line that had been blocked
Fooled Ray and Memphik exclaimed at the same time
That's right, what Alkid said earlier was to get rid of Ray first, but it was only his strategy to divert Ray and Memphik away from the blocked path, and it was obvious that Alkidd had managed to trick the two fighters fighting him, and then rushed at his real target at an unexpected speed: Joica
