Volume 1 [Border Clouds] Chapter 150: A Glimpse of the Ranger (Finale)
Magda instinctively felt bad, he tried to raise his hands, and was about to break free from this confinement, but saw that the three people in the distance had no intention of attacking him at all, but Rubens suddenly raised the scepter that had cracked, and shot a ring into the air...
What does that mean?
Signal? Warning? Or give up?
Countless speculations came out of Magda's mind, but the next moment, he clearly heard the sound of a mechanical structure in the distance—his gray-white pupils suddenly constricted as he followed the sound
He would never have thought that the crossbows on the western city wall were completely aimed at his position at this time
This is one of the "most powerful" back-to-back tactics that Roddy and Rubens planned in the first place: if the enemy is really strong, they will directly use the crossbow to strike in clusters
Originally, there were a total of B machine crossbows on the west city wall, and they were all facing the outside of the city wall, but at the request of Roddy, they all moved to the inside of the city wall a few days ago, and had already booked four strike points through test firing-
In Roddy's vision, once this plan was activated, the soldiers on the city wall could adjust the landing point of the crossbow arrows at any time according to the orders of the overlord's magic aura, and after a short training, they had shortened the adjustment time to about 20 seconds - because they had practiced more than a dozen times, so at this time, the soldiers had already aimed their crossbows at the bottom of the bell tower as soon as Rubens gave the signal
The crossbow on the city wall was originally used to kill the enemy from a distance, the width of the crossbow arm alone is more than three meters, the diameter of the crossbow arrow is as thick as a person's wrist, and the metal head comparable to a long dagger has greatly increased the power of the entire crossbow arrow - even if the people of this era do not understand the "momentum theorem", but they also understand the law of "strong bow with heavy arrows", so at this time, under the salvo of these eight machine crossbows, the power has already exceeded the limit of individual defense countless times
Even the most powerful heavily armored knight, hitting this kind of crossbow at this time is also the end of a string of sugar gourds.
By the time Magda is realized by Rubens, it is too late to break free from the "divine confinement".
"Whoosh-"
The crossbow bolts drew black shadows in the air, with a dull and depressing crashing sound, and flew through the space of nearly 100 meters in an instant, "crackling" and smashing the stone wall under the entire bell tower
Magda was instantly overwhelmed by the debris and dust that had been thrown up after the bolt had smashed the stones, and even Roddy, who had been lying on the ground early to dodge, could not tell whether the mighty ranger had been shot or not
"As long as there is one, as long as one hits"
At this moment, Roddy's heart was completely hanging in the air, staring at the smoke and dust without blinking, and he didn't even pay attention to the edge of his body hanging on the roof of the fourth floor at this time.
But when the smoke and dust cleared, Roddy scolded angrily-
"Damn, not dead yet?"
There was a faint movement - Roddy frowned, and then he also noticed Magda's almost bottomed out blood in the "Surrounding People Information Column", he clenched the dagger in his hand, and got up just about to call Wellington in the distance to come and help, but then he noticed the situation in front of him... It didn't seem to be as pessimistic as he thought.
Magda was indeed alive - although the machine crossbow fired from nearly a hundred meters away had been calibrated and was still fired by a B crossbow, Magda's target was too small, and only one of the B huge crossbow bolts had hit him.
But luckily... Magda, as powerful as he was, had no room to resist in the face of an attack of this level: his entire left shoulder was shot, and the huge metal head of the crossbow bolt directly shattered his shoulder blades with flesh and blood, and even knocked his left arm directly into the air
At this moment, the middle of the bell tower has been blasted out of a huge hole by the cluster blow of crossbow arrows, and Magda is hanging half-dead in this hole, and the movements of reaching out to get up are much slower - because he has been "living" for too long, his body does not even have much blood flowing out at this time, but the feeling of losing half of his body is really a bit miserable...
Luo Di confirmed that the other party had no power to fight back at all, and immediately raised the ring in his hand and shone it at the other party, "Take advantage of your illness to kill you" is an absolute life principle to be pursued - he was about to rush over and dismantle Magda into eight pieces, but how could he have thought that this guy would actually support his body with one hand and stand up slowly...
The flesh in the light began to burn, and the black smoke from the "squeak" caused Magda's skin to fester. The [Blighter] slowly raised his gaze, first narrowing his eyes slightly at the holy light, and then scanning his surroundings and his body as if nothing happened...
There was an unspeakable cruelty in her festering cheeks, but Magda did not choose to fight in anger, but swept her eyes over Rubens, Wellington, and Titus in the distance, as if to remember their faces, and then took a sharp step and jumped directly from the big hole in the bell tower
"I still want to run..."
Roddy wanted to chase after him, but when he saw the height difference of more than ten meters under him, he immediately remembered that he no longer had the effect of [Moloqi's Blessing], and his blood, agility and physical strength were completely incomparable to just now, so he could only give up the idea of jumping down to chase Magda, and instead jumped down to the small building that moved low next to him, and then fell to the ground in a few vertical jumps, and out of the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of Magda's figure running frantically out of the city, and chased after him with his life
He didn't want such a vengeful guy to live, and he couldn't hesitate to kill him
Thinking so in his heart, Roddy could only watch Magda jump onto the second floor of another house at an astonishing speed, and disappeared in a few jumps - Roddy, who was chasing behind, did not have enough skills for him to pursue at this time, and the low-level "leaping" skills could not let him jump with Magda onto the balcony on the side of the road, so he could only shout loudly to the Wellington knight who was also chasing him: "He must go out of the city and send someone to the city wall to stop him"
The knight who was scurrying past the roof in the distance did not respond, and he did not know if he heard the words.
It was only then that Roddy felt his body trembling violently like never before, and at first he thought it was a side effect of [Moloqi's Blessing], but as soon as his footsteps stopped, he stumbled and almost fell directly to the ground.
Holding his hand against the wall next to the street, Roddy found a place to sit on the ground in exhaustion, breathing like a fish out of water.
"Damn, how could it be Magda... It's also getting too much..."
His mind was messed up, because nothing like that had happened in the history of his memory - according to the original trajectory, the old duke was estimated to have "died" in the Duke's Palace at this time, and Sally had already died on the grassland, and the city of Houllier was firmly controlled by the "Duke" of Francis at this time, and the undead alpha may still be hidden in the Duke's Palace, continuing to lay out the line for the conspiracy of the Tasman Kingdom...
But now, his arrival has completely disrupted all this. Whether it's the orc kingdom that is eyeing up, or the undead who slowly peeked into the bloody fangs years later, all of them were overturned because of Roddy's sideways kicking, and their deployment in Ivota territory sounded like something to be proud of, but it was only after fighting Magda that he suddenly realized a fact...
If you want to save this country, you are still far away
The scout team that was pulled out by the exhaustion and hard work is far from being able to stop the crazy attack of these guys in the future...
The pressure in his heart instantly seemed to increase several times, making Roddy, who was already panting, feel more and more suffocated - the hot feeling in his chest was delayed for a long time before it was transmitted, Roddy opened his eyes, but he felt that the surroundings seemed to become dark, and the scene in front of him began to rotate slowly, like a blurred illusion...
When the morning came, the pedestrians walking by the street looked at the soldier sitting by the wall, covered in blood, with strange eyes, and several of them made gestures that they wanted to say something.
Roddy felt as if his arm had become heavy, and his body couldn't stop sliding to the side, and when he looked down, he realized that his hands were covered in blood.
The chest seems to... Injured?
When he realized that he had a wound on his body, the pain caused by the adrenaline delay suddenly became clear, and he wanted to open his mouth to say something, but he could no longer control his body and fell to the ground diagonally.
Opening his mouth, Roddy wanted to summon the "Character Attribute Panel", but suddenly it was pitch black in front of him, and when the words came to his mouth, they also became a low moan.
Lao Tzu wants to upgrade back to blood...
Luo Di thought so in his heart, but finally fainted directly because of excessive blood loss.
September 27, Hollier, Duke's Palace.
"Master, the team sent to search still hasn't replied."
"Continue to search for notices, so that all the nobles in the territory of Ivota can cheer me up"
"Sir, the Lord Overseer announced that the convoy would be postponed, and he himself said that it would be at noon."
"Go and prepare a luncheon, this old thing has a bit of a conscience..."
The sound of conversation sounded in the meeting room of the Duke's Palace, the busy servants shuttled to report the information, the two guardian knights had recovered from their injuries with the help of divine magic, and at this time they were guarding the duke with swords and armor, and their expressions were cautious, always alert to possible attacks.
Duke Angmar had a lot of parchment in front of him, and sitting across from him were three of Roddy's bones: Sodroll, Ruger, and Carter.
"Under special circumstances, the award ceremony could not be carried out with great fanfare, and it was also my old fellow who was useless, so that the bone stick ran away after the worst..."Angmar faced the three scouts, and the sincerity of his words made them all a little uncomfortable, "But don't worry, there will be no less barons and territories for you, in addition to a batch of funds, equipment and servants." ”
