Chapter 44: The Rise of the Kitchen Knife
Hearing Annie's urging, Tolan and the lady were embarrassed, and the atmosphere of farewell was dispersed. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
"I'm going to help......" Tolan whispered to the lady. He wiped his face vigorously, grabbed the large round shield and rushed towards the gate.
At this moment, the stronghold of the Hall of the Vigilant was in flames, and most of the buildings had fallen. The crackling of the burning huts could be heard by every wounded through the cracks in the walls of the hall - the flames were not only burning their homes, but also burning their hopes little by little. Every survivor knew in their hearts that even if the vigilantes resisted, it would end here...... They have been blocked in the martial arts hall, and it is only a matter of time before they finally fall.
"Why don't you get me a sword...... Anne couldn't help but collapse when she saw Tolan rushing over with only a shield in his hand. Deputy T is unreliable and tired.
"Does it work? They carried enough blood slaves with them, and no matter how serious the injuries were, they could only make them retreat for a short time. It's not meaningful compared to the number of vampires, so it's better to save a little effort..."Despite Tolan's words, he showed surprising combat skills. Taking advantage of the gap in Anne's retreat, not only did she block the gate with a perfect relay, but she also smashed a vampire stone statue in front of the door into pieces with a shield strike.
"It's useless, it's because you didn't cut off their heads! Pierce their hearts! Chop them into dog bones! The regeneration of vampires is not infinite...... I said that you vigilantes still dare to claim to be vampire nemesis, so there is always an artifact to restrain vampires, right? If you don't have an artifact, you can have a killing tool! If you don't have a killing tool, it's not difficult for you to prepare a warehouse of garlic, right? It's better than it is now. Anne stepped back to catch her breath, stopped half a step behind Tolan, and grumbled a lot.
She can't retreat too far and must be ready to take over Tolan at any time. Now there are only the two of them standing in the hall, and there is no reserve. If it weren't for the fact that this hall was made of stone, I am afraid that it would have been lit by the torches thrown by the vampires.
"Garlic... To vampires... It's useless, we're ...... Expert... Damn it! I can't take it anymore! Tolan roared with a flushed face.
He didn't have Anne's powers, and he didn't have Anne's indestructible armor! Tolan had to carry a shield against the smashing hammers and dodge the swords that pierced through the cracks. He had only stood in front of the door for less than half a minute, his hands had been shaken unconscious, and his thighs had been stabbed several times in a row! In addition, his body was moved back a little by the huge thrust, even if he had used all his strength on the shield, he couldn't withstand it.
"How do you carry it...... So long!? ”
Tolan felt like the vampires on the other side were crazy when he was holding his shield in front of the door! Seven or eight people rushed over at the same time, regardless of it, and they didn't defend at all! Some slammed with war hammers, some crouched and poked his feet with swords...... Under those sharp thin swords, his whole body armor looked like he wasn't wearing it, and it was full of small holes!
"I should have a sword!"
Of course, he actually knew what the real reason was—just by the pile of rubble in front of the door. It wasn't a stone that had fallen from a doorframe, it was a vampire's petrified corpse that had been smashed up!
"Get out of the way!" Hearing Annie's order, Tolan directly retreated backwards with a big stride, crossing Anne in a forward position. Whoa, as soon as they saw Anne filling the position, the vampires not only did not take the opportunity to attack, but turned around and ran away like ghosts!
It's a pity that those two people work together so well that the vampires can't escape. The moment Anne crossed the goal line, the shield she held flat exploded into two white beams of light - the beams were shot from the eyes of Medusa on the shield, and the gray beams were not bright, but could see particles in them—like the snowflakes of an old TV and the dust flying in the grating.
But all the vampires who were swept by the beam of light froze for a moment, and then began to petrify from the location of the hit! Some vampires made a quick decision, picked up the hammer in their hands and smashed the petrified part of themselves, and would rather be disabled than escape. But there are also vampires who don't have time to react, and they are just turned into lifelike stone statues with different images!
"Medusa's Shield", an artifact that Anne brought into the world from the infinite world! It's not the kind of artifact that someone created a shield and named it after Medusa - it's the Greek mythological artifact of the Titan skin that hung the head of a fresh Medusa just cut off from the shield and was called the "Shield of Athena...... It can be said that since the attack began, it has caused the most casualties to vampires is this shield.
Although not unrecoverable after petrification, the shrewd Anne will always lead someone to smash the statue before the vampire recovers. Once turned into broken stone, even if the vampire has the ability to heal itself, he will definitely die! That's why the vampire hates the shield and avoids it. Not only can the petrified shield deter vampires who are "not afraid of getting hurt", but the petrified vampire stone statue can also block the doorway. If it weren't for this shield, even if the martial arts hall was all built of stone, I'm afraid it would have fallen long ago.
"We won't be able to hold out for long, and once it's certain that we can't break through the main gate, the vampires will definitely find another way." Tolan didn't seem very happy to see the vampire retreating, he was still very conscious. The tall stone walls of the two-storey building may be able to keep the average robber at bay, but it definitely can't stop the vampires who have an average lifespan of several hundred years and possess mysterious powers. "Do me a favor, Ann." He leaned over to Anne and said in a low voice, "There is a secret passage in the innermost room of the Martial Arts Hall, and Cassiti knows how to open it. Help me get her out of ...... I'll do my best to buy you time! ”
Cassiti was the mortally wounded lady and the leader of the Watchmen. Lady Cassite wants Tolan to leave with Anne, but Tolan wants Anne to take Cassiti away.
Tolan, who said this, was also injured a lot at the moment, especially in his leg...... Vampires' stabbing swords like to use quenching poison to increase damage. Tolan had lost sensation in his thighs. On his own, he can only joke if he wants to delay time by blocking the vampire's next wave of attacks. But he believed that as long as he shouted "For Kasiti", all the wounded lying in the room at this time would use their last strength to get up and buy time for Ms. Cassiti's escape!
"Take her away now, the vampires are coming up again..."As he spoke, Tolan saw countless vampires pouring into the courtyard again. Tolan anxiously leaned against the wall to raise her shield, and pushed Anne's shoulder with her other hand to urge her.
"Don't be stupid, what do you think I've been waiting for?" When Tolan heard the heroic girl, she suddenly changed her tone and turned her head in astonishment. He saw Anne stand up and stride to the center of the hall. "Tolan, if you hadn't been procrastinating, we'd have done it a long time ago...... Raise your shield! It's nothing, don't look like it's apocalyptic! ”
Everyone, I mean all the conscious wounded, looked at Anne in amazement, not knowing what she was going to do.
"You know, even if we are a kitchen knife team, it is also a kitchen knife team with paladins. The Holy Knight does not die, and the wild team does not pounce, this is the truth of the universe. Anne knelt down on one knee, held her shield in front of her, and pressed her hands on the top edge of the shield. She lowered her head in a battlefield prayer stance, her fiery red hair falling down.
"I pray." There was no foreplay, Anne said simply.
"Bang!" With a bang, with her words, the white wings on both sides exploded from behind her! The huge wings of more than twenty meters directly occupy the entire hall!
The holy rain of light swept through every corner of the hall in an instant like a storm - all the wounded who were drenched in the rain of light let out strange moans. The toxins on their bodies disperse from their wounds as black smoke, the wounds close at a speed visible to the naked eye, the bones automatically dock according to the body's memory, the deviated viscera resets, and the blood of people who have lost too much blood gushes from the spinal cord...... Eventually, even the sore muscles were full of strength again, and the tired spirit became refreshed!
It's as if you've gone back in time - whether it's Cassiti, who is about to be cut in half, or Tolan, who is barely holding on, everyone is as healthy as they were at the beginning of the war!
At this moment, a miracle happened!
Everyone was stunned...... Some people are touching their smooth wounds, some people are clutching their weapons in a daze, and everyone is sleepwalking. Only Tolan, who was still blocking the doorway and was being beaten by swords, was the first to come to his senses, "Stendhal! What a miracle! I couldn't believe it! I can't believe it! But Ann, you...... Why don't you ...... sooner?"
The taste of despair is definitely the most painful experience of life.
"Tolan!" Ms. Cassit, who knew what Tolan was going to say, quickly interrupted him in advance. The Maiden who passed by had no responsibility to the Watchmen, but she had always fought alongside the Watchmen, and had saved their companions more than once.
"Do you think this ability can be used casually?" Anne stood up as if nothing was wrong, and first made Tolan blush.
Yes, the paladin's "group healing" ability is very precious, and it can only be used three times a day...... That's a precious yarn! The real reason is like Anne herself said, Tolan has not been injured, she just dragged it out and pursued the most perfect effect.
Kneel down and pull up sixty kitchen knives, who dares to compare the hardness with my great sage!
"It's time for a wave of counter-kills," Anne picked up a blood-stained knight's sword and pointed at the surging vampires, "Oath...... Sword of Victory! ”
A pillar of silver-white light pierced through the heavens and the earth!

The mission is to join the Dawn Guard and fight the vampire Twilightstar, but accidentally stays in White Man City because of a tree and mixes with his comrades; And Annie, who entered the world with only an artifact shield and targeted the comrades-in-arms, was involuntarily drawn into the long-term war between the vigilant and the vampires;
The same thing is happening all over the Skyrim Province over and over again.
In Rift City, the old thief leader Blinkhev has his eye on a strange woman who enters the market with a crossbow on her back. The crossbow is a weapon despised by the Nords, and is usually only used by those who wander the underworld, such as thieves. And the woman's lazy look, inadvertently revealing sharp eyes, and lavish spending of money all hint at her other identity......
Blinkhov leaned over confidently and said softly. "I see your purse is empty, do you want to make a little extra money?"
"What do you mean?" The purple-haired woman said with a frown. The man who appeared out of nowhere smelled disgusting to her...... Therefore, even if she was in a hurry to get the news, she didn't bother to ask about this person.
"Hey, don't admit it," Blinkhov said in a slick tone, "you know, I can tell at a glance that you, like me, are the kind of experts who are good at transferring property." Do me a small favor and I can get your purse bag bulging again. ”
"I see." The purple-haired woman took out a pair of sunglasses that would never appear in Skyrim Province and put them on herself. Then her hand grabbed Blinkhov's wrist violently, and she came to a back grab! The old thief was almost defenseless and twisted his arm behind his back, and even made a gurgling sound.
"Who the hell are you stepping on?" Brinchev, who finally realized that he had made a mistake, asked in a panic.
"Me?" Nan Lixiang flicked her sunglasses, "The old lady is a policeman!" ”
Minami Satoka, who planned to become the King's Bodyguard, could have used her expertise to become the best bodyguard in Skyrim Province, but now she has become a non-stop fight with the thieves' union in Rift City; And another god-level assassin, Ding Mumu, was originally supposed to join the Dark Brotherhood, and perhaps eventually become a blade to assassinate the king. However, when she opened her eyes, she found that she had just been fished out of the water and accidentally boarded the Imperial King's ship...... No one suspected that a girl who had fallen overboard and had lost her memory had been placed in a random position just three cabins away from the king's quarters......
It's really ......
*****
At the western outpost of White Mancheng, dragons are raging, and the dark elves are leading their soldiers into a bitter battle.
Suddenly, a bright sword light pierced the dusk!
"Secret Sword: Yan Returns!" With the clear girl's voice, the streamer turns three times in the air! When the girl in the long skirt and the flower on her head collected her sword and returned it to its sheath, the evil dragon let out a terrible howl, and its wings broke off at the base of its wings, scattering blood from the sky! However, none of this compares to the sword that slashed between the dragon's eyes. It split the dragon's head and eventually killed the dragon.
The girl nodded, patted the dust off her body, and continued on her way, as if she had done a trivial thing. The dark elves and soldiers were naturally dumbfounded, but the corpse of the dragon falling into the sky burned on its own at this time. The milky white dragon soul rushed towards the girl frantically, breaking into the girl's body like a surging river!
"Hmm~" The feeling of sudden expansion of power made the girl frown.
"You're a dragonborn?! You should come with us to White Mancheng......" The soldier shouted in astonishment, remembering the legend of the Nords.
Hearing them say this, the girl was surprised at first, and when she understood, she waved her hand very casually, "I am a poison island boy, and when I first arrived in your land, I was looking for my master, and I was honing my swordsmanship. You suddenly told me about the Dragonborn...... By the way, have you heard the name Lu Yuan? ”
