Chapter 64: Beating the Bandit Cavalry
The series of events is actually not long, from Carl's appearance to the fall of Hansa, the head of Diru Village, it is never more than twenty minutes, but it is too continuous and sudden, so that Alfer did not notice that the curse marks on his erection neck began to fade and disappear when Carl put his forehead on his shoulder, of course, it may also be that this inverted pentagram has been uncomfortable since Elph stepped into Elba City, and it is difficult for Elph to notice what is wrong with that part of the skin.
Alfer tried to carry Carl on his back, but Carl was as soft as a bone, covered in blood, and the ground was wet and slippery with mud.
"Elver, take Carl to safety. Vincent was going to help Elver, but he keenly felt an unusual vibration on the ground, and he knelt on the ground despite the mud, and when he heard at least twenty horses running towards him, he quickly entered the alert, "Teacher! Teacher!
"How many?" asked Luna after treating Hanseatic - Hansa's bleeding was stopped, the most serious wound was only the mouth, and the rest of the wound was cleverly burned by fire in the explosion and closed the wound, which saved Luna a lot of trouble.
"Twenty or so horses......," said Vincent, "I can't be too sure of the number, the horses are heavy." β
"Horses are armoured, they should be knights or something," Mr. Alesi confirmed, also listening to the ground with his ears, "Vincent's estimate is right. β
"Reinforcements from Elba?" Emerson asked Bloom, "I thought it would only be twenty of us!"
"There are no cavalry or knights stationed in Erba," said Bloom coldly, "no. β
"Anyway, it's right to be on guard," Vincent shook his long sword path.
Alver and Luna are in charge of Carl and Hansea, but Luna is reluctant because Hansa keeps staring at Carl humming in various tones, as if he wants to say something.
Sure enough, it was cavalry, a standard cavalry of medium equipment, with huge skull emblems painted on their shields.
It is more appropriate to say that it is not so much a cavalry as a bandit.
"Hanseatic will leave it to us," the leading bandit said in a cold tone that bordered on commanding, "or you will sink into the stinking mud behind you." β
"That's interesting," said Mr. Alessi, who was wearing a metal finger cuff decorated with tiny gems and bells, which had sharp tips, and the small gems that looked like ornaments had different buff attributes for each color, blue for speed, yellow for shield, red for strength, and green for some kind of buff that would poison or ailment the target, "We just didn't want to sink into the mud and have to take the thing called Hansea." β
After saying that, Teacher Alessi squatted on the ground, landed on all fours, and jumped out with his feet and rushed into the bandits' ranks.
One after another, the horses were frightened and scratched by Mr. Alessi, and the bandits were thrown off one by one, and the rest of the men attacked, and Vincent knocked off the shield of one of the bandits and asked with a hippie smile, "Don't you know how to release a mental soothing for the horses before going to battle?"
Although Teacher Alessi deserved a head start for the others, they were not superior in numbers, and Alph tried to help, but was stopped by Teacher Luna, "We just have to take care of these two people, Hanseatic is here, we won't be idle sooner or later." β
The bandits' armor was difficult to penetrate, Vincent felt a little tricky when he fought against the three bandits alone, he set up the three bandits and aimed at the sword cut off from his head, kicked down one of them with a twist, and slapped the second one's helmet with the sword blade Then he jumped up and kicked the third bandit in the jaw, forcing him to tilt his head, and with one free hand he drew his dagger and aimed it at the sighthole in the bandit's helmet, and after landing hard, he held the sword behind him with the other hand, blocking the slash of the first bandit to regain his balance.
Seeing that Vincent had no way to defend himself against the second bandit's sword, Elph could only release a shield to help him, which really provoked the first thief to attack Vincent, he abandoned Vincent and turned to Elph and Teacher Luna, just as Teacher Luna wanted to release the magic, Teacher Alesi threw out a bandit whose armor was scratched through her fingertips and smashed it at the thief who wanted to attack Alph or Luna.
Mr. Emerson's magic is mostly based on nature's summoning system, he controls seven vines to roll seven bandits and smash them on the ground or tree trunks, very efficiently solving his own part of the battle, and turning to find a new target; Mr. Bloom is like Teacher Alessi, who wins with speed, and the blessing of the demon wind system makes him shuttle freely among the bandits, and in a short time he dismantles his arms and legs and unloads many bandits.
More and more thieves fell, Vincent finally knocked down another one by smashing the bandit's helmet by ringing the bell constantly, and he defeated a total of three; Teacher Alessi's finger sleeves were covered with blood and iron filings, Elph saw that there were six bandits defeated by Teacher Alessi, Mr. Bloom incapacitated four bandits, their arms were either broken or their knees were broken, and they kept screaming; Mr. Emerson, who was trying to find a new target to attack, could not find them, only seven bandits with their armor deformed were still being thrown around by vinesγ
Everyone seemed to have been a little annoyed by the Hanseatic jellyfish and the boats, so much so that the bandit team, which was obviously Hanseatic reinforcements, was unilaterally beaten, especially Vincent, whose long sword was smashed and deformed.
Teacher Alessi gasped and said to Vincent, "An enemy with too much armor will defeat him in speed." β
Vincent's mouth was numb, and he shook his hand and explained to Teacher Alesi, "I was angry and didn't run." β
Hanseatic closed his mouth in despair, he had seen the bandit still screaming and trying to attract the bandit's attention, but now he just looked at the sky and didn't speak.
Elver and Vinson set up Karl, who was still limp and crumbling, and the rest of the group conspired to get Hanseatic away, and in the end it was Mr. Emerson who made something like a stretcher out of vines, and he carried it back with Bloom.
As Hansa was being carried to the stretcher, Elph suddenly felt an anomalous magic, and before he could give warning, a thick mist enveloped everyone.
"Hanseatic ...... My dear ......"
It was the Angry Banshee, who slowly emerged through the mist and walked towards Hansea.
Teacher Luna unleashed the barrier to envelop Hansea, and the resentful banshee sneered and said, "Do you think that the enchantment of a person who can't do exorcism can stump a resentful woman who has become a magical creature?"
"I'm sorry ma'am, but we have to hand him over to a formal body to pronounce the sentence, and that's our task. Teacher Luna said, "I know if I can do it, but I have to try." β
"I have no intention of getting into a conflict with you, and it won't do me any good. The banshee looked worriedly in the direction of the three children and said, "At least listen to my story, and then let me possess Hansea...... I promise to let you complete the task."
