Chapter 230: The Burning Tunnel
The fireball thrown by Wu Xin overwhelmed all the candles and torches, bringing much-needed light to the people who were fighting each other in the tunnel.
Darkness is one of the sources of human fear.
Fighting in the dimly lit tunnels is so painful.
And the air is finally running out.
Although Wu Xin has worked very hard to do some renovation work, the cemetery is a cemetery, this place is to house the dead, so many living people poured in at once, everyone must not be able to breathe enough air.
Fighting a horde of hateful infidels in an ancient mausoleum with poor air circulation and pitch black is an extreme experience for anyone.
The Egyptian soldiers were under a lot of pressure, and they were more likely than the French to lose their lighting tools for self-preservation, so they were all more confused shouting and slashing.
Everyone begged for light in their hearts, and they finally begged for light, but it was only a fatal light.
Wu Xin's fireball was thrown extremely accurately, and he was rewarded by the reincarnation world, dim vision, which allowed him to accurately find the place where the battle between the two sides was most intense, that is, the place with the most people, in the faint light.
Neither the French nor the Egyptians wanted the light they had so desperately longed for at this moment, and now they only felt fear.
Everyone wants to squeeze their companions out of the way, and get as far away from this deadly light as possible.
But this fireball flew so fast that it was simply impossible for so many soldiers to disperse in time.
Seeing that the fireball was about to pass through the line of the Egyptian soldiers, it exploded in the densest part of the crowd, and a little cold light passed through the crowd and inserted into the fireball.
Napoleon, with the momentum of thunder, crossed the battle line in the crowd and pierced Wu Xin's fireball with his own sword.
Berthier has been worried about Wu Xin. Napoleon would not forget this dangerous warlock, and he could see from the reports of Mesadir and the others that Wu Xin did not care about his subordinates, as if these people were not real people.
He only thought it was the arrogance of the great nobles, and did not guess the answer precisely, but it was enough.
He feels good. Wu Xin did treat these people as NPCs.
When Napoleon saw this terrain, he guessed that Wu Xin might have to ignore the enemy and strike hard.
Wu Xin doesn't care how many Egyptians die, he can't care less about his subordinates, if a French soldier dies, there will be one less death, and he can't stand it if he dies a dozen people in this place, not to mention that the air here is not circulating, and it is not necessary to choke many people to death.
He dashed out of his own line and used his skill, intending to get the fireball close before it flew closer. punctured him, and then pounced on Wu Xin and beheaded this warlock.
He pierced the fireball just in time, and Wu Xin's magic completely exploded among the Egyptians, erupting into a huge impact and illuminating the entire pit as if it were daylight.
'Why is it so powerful?!' Napoleon had seen a lot of this magic, but he had never seen such a big "fireball technique", of course. There is no mage in this plane who has mastered the magical ability of "extreme effect".
This is not an ordinary "fireball technique", Wu Xin has injected faith into it.
This fireball contains more than just the power of the magic net. There is also the fear and expectation of human beings for fire.
This fireball contained about one-twentieth of Wu Xin's belief power, which made the "Fireball Technique" achieve an "extremely effective" effect.
Wu Xin is full of respect for a figure like Napoleon, and in order to deal with the pride of this era, Wu Xin took a huge risk and came up with his own trick to press the bottom of the box.
Fortunately, as Wu Xin expected, the phoenix that Ciric said did not appear, and there were people competing for credit. Naturally, the local host pays special attention.
Someone wants to use faith, that's another matter, this god is ridiculed by Ciric and does not appear at all, and he will not have the ability to monitor such a secondary problem.
But after using so much faith power at once, Wu Xin was still surprised by this amount. Although the population of the port of Tripoli is not large, but with the unremitting efforts of Kessler, there are also thousands of quite devout believers, so it will consume so much at once?
This is a level 3 magic!
It is said that it is already more right to use the worship of flames to strengthen the "Fireball Technique", Wu Xin also wants to use these faith powers to strengthen the "cold resistance", and the matter of the Knight of Cassano, although Sazastan has always said that he will save for his old buddy, how can Wu Xin really ignore him.
Is it an interdimensional relationship or what?
More than fifty Egyptians huddled together were on fire, and Murad Bey, who had just led his guards at a relatively long distance, had been waiting for this situation for a long time, and now he had taken a few Mamluk nobles and a dozen guards to seal off the rear path of these men with spears and shields, and prevent them from retreating.
The soldiers who tried to retreat to the rear were mercilessly killed by Muradbey.
The soldiers huddled together and burned one by one.
Their screams recoiled back and forth in the narrow tunnels, echoing in bursts of sound, and it was truly terrifying.
Wu Xin's attention was also drawn back by these screams, but he didn't care about the life or death of these Egyptians, he just stared at Napoleon.
The commander of the Oriental Army of the French Republic, the future emperor of the French Empire, was at this time in a state of confusion trying to flee back to his own front.
Although his strength was undoubtedly the top in this plane, he pierced the fireball and took the most explosion damage, and he was able to kill dozens of Egyptians with firepower, almost all of which he withstood bit by bit.
Of course, he was physically strong, and this kind of injury was far from fatal to him, not even serious.
However, Napoleon did not stick to the original plan and was going to behead Wu Xin.
A truly sensible man knows where the limits of his strength lie, and Napoleon was such a wise and courageous man.
At this time, he was not far from Wu Xin, and if he took a hard step, he might rush in front of Wu Xin.
But at this time, he went forward too much alone, and although his men were not injured much, they were all separated by the burned people, and if they rushed over, they were bound to be seriously injured in this narrow tunnel.
And Wu Xin's magic ruined his battle line. Several of his cronies seemed to still have combat effectiveness, and Joel was also affected by the fire, but he did not fall, but he seemed to have a bit of a problem with his mental state, and he hesitated not to know what to do, and he was not in the right position. Didn't protect the warlock.
"Be serious with me, old man fisherman!"
At this time, the wanderer with the dagger was yelling at him, and Napoleon could not hear the content clearly.
However, even if he was in the wrong position, Napoleon had no intention of rushing over.
The most troublesome thing was the wanderer with the strange dagger, who had just killed one of his own guards and seriously injured a squad leader in the middle of the battle line.
The guard died an ugly death, and he vomited his stomach out.
Even a figure like Napoleon was reluctant to deal with this squad alone, the warlock's firepower was really not weak, and this weird dagger. Napoleon was also not sure if his internal organs would stand the test.
His talent is a great achievement, it's okay to be injured, but it's not okay to take risks, it's not worth it.
At least in this place like Egypt, there was nothing worth the risk he had.
So he was going to retreat.
However, he wanted to retreat, but Wu Xin couldn't agree.
"What are you waiting for?! These people are your enemies, enemies who want to destroy your life, your family. It's a rebel party without a king and a father, think about your daughter. It's a life-and-death struggle, give it to me! He tore open a scroll in his hand and yelled at Joel.
Joel has been in a trance for a long time, and although he fights every day in the Benghazi fortress on the main plane, the pace of that defensive battle is very slow. The French knight in charge of the command was very experienced, and he had always been put in charge of the logistics work, and today's scene has blown out the essence of the old fisherman in his life.
Wu Xin has ideals and honors in his heart, and he just wants to live for the time being, so Wu Xin has already said a good order. He's a little bit out of it now.
Wu Xin was not prepared for this, but what he had to say was in Wu Xin's heart, and he still said it immediately.
Joel didn't really care about the chaotic party, and he had never been loyal to a monarch in his life, but Wu Xin's daughter was right in his heart.
And the scroll that Wu Xin tore also shows his determination, if you don't fight, you can't do it.
He finally made up his mind and pushed something out.
Napoleon realized as soon as he saw the vat that it was not good, and he had long felt that the tunnel had a slight upward angle, but it was not too large for the Egyptians to gain a sufficient advantage.
But when a big stone ball rolls up, it's really incredible.
Napoleon guessed that it was a stone ball, because it was a common mechanism in tombs, and stone was one of the few defenses that could work reliably underground for hundreds of years.
However, Napoleon quickly relented, and the main tunnel of this tunnel-type burial chamber, although narrow, could barely be stretched out by dozens of people, and it was still wide enough.
He thought that Wu Xin had dismantled a mechanism in a more narrow place and used it here.
He still has confidence in his subordinates, this stone ball can be pushed by one person, as long as he maintains a good formation and does not run around, it will not cause too many casualties.
Of course, it is certainly impossible for the Egyptians, who have burned to the point of being half a life, "to keep in good formation and not to run", they are running in flames and rolling like bowling.
Napoleon prepared to return to his subordinates, and although the fire men around him were extremely dangerous, Napoleon walked lightly, but he was extremely fast, and his cloak was not in danger of being ignited.
It's really in the midst of thousands of flowers, and the fire doesn't touch it.
However, as the stone ball rolled past him, Napoleon found that he could not retreat.
This is not a "stone ball" at all, there is no "stone ball" in the world that exudes the aroma of sesame seeds.
It's an oil drum.
Napoleon's mind raced, and he immediately realized what would happen if the oil drum rolled down, that warlock's fireball was coming.
Wu Xin's last "Fireball Technique" had already impressed him, and if he added this oil drum, he would have to lose at least hundreds of his subordinates today.
Even if dozens of them don't die, they will be left with serious injuries that are difficult to recover.
He guessed completely right, Wu Xin used the first "Fireball Technique" to clear his vision and interfere with the French soldier's line of sight, and this second "Fireball Technique" naturally followed.
Napoleon had already made up his mind to return to the Old Continent and stir up a good stir in Paris, and he could not take these soldiers away, but it was not something that Napoleon could do to watch them die.
He didn't retreat, he wanted to kick the oil drum back.
But at this time, Villefort also rushed up, although this job was really fatal, but only he had the opportunity to pass through so many burning men.
Villefort was not as dashing as Napoleon, and after rushing through the crowd of fires, he had several points of fire on him.
But fortunately, it did not affect the battle, and he held a dagger in each hand and attacked Napoleon at the same time.
Napoleon did not use two-handed weapons and did not carry a shield.
His bayonet sword is held in one hand and pinned to his side with the other, always just for balance, a special fighting technique that allows him to attack more quickly and avoid faster.
So although Villefort's attack came just right, Napoleon could still avoid it, and he could even defend and counterattack, although Villefort avoided his bayone, but in two rounds Napoleon kicked Villefort to the ground.
Villefort rolled and crawled on the ground, and if it was a heads-up, Napoleon would definitely catch up with him to make up for a sword, which was a test of life and death for Villefort.
However, Wu Xin had already arranged that Villefort would not have to go through that dangerous thing.
Napoleon had no intention of pursuing Villefort, and when he turned around, he saw Wu Xin's second fireball flying past.
Villefort did not last long, but his goal was achieved, and Napoleon was able to cope with his attack, but could no longer kick the oil drum.
Wu Xin's second "fireball technique" did not have an "extreme" effect, and he was reluctant to use faith anymore, but the French soldiers didn't know it.
The brave Juno was gone, and the others were loyal to Napoleon, but there were really no ones who were so faithful.
They looked at the miserable situation of those Egyptians, where would anyone dare to kick this oil barrel.
Wu Xin's fireball accurately hit the oil drum, and with Wu Xin's unlucky aiming ability, this is really not easy.
Joel was greatly relieved to see the fireball hit.
In order to avoid being ignited and exploded by the fire on the Egyptian's road, the oil drum was well sealed and had to be fatally hit by a fireball to be ignited.
At that time, others were renovating the tomb, Wu Xin and Joel practiced dozens of times in the tunnel, and at the beginning Wu Xin couldn't hit once out of three times, and in the end, the hit rate was only two out of three.
Wu Xin can only do this step.
It's finally a hit this time.
It's good that you don't consume spellcasting materials, otherwise you would have gone bankrupt a long time ago.
As a result of this effort, the French soldiers, who had just escaped, were now treated in the same way as the Egyptians.
Although the formation of the French was better controlled than that of the Egyptians, it was not so dense, and some of them bravely rushed forward after being burned to avoid affecting their comrades.
But Wu Xin's barrel of olive oil is not so delicious, and they are more qualified than the Egyptians, so they can't offset this barrel of oil.
The French front, all of a sudden, was also a burning man.
And the whole tunnel is fueled by oil, and it is a big mess.
Napoleon saw it in his eyes and felt pain in his heart, but what was worse was that his retreat was also blocked by the fire oil.
Is it to retreat from the fire, or to attack Wu Xin's front head-on?
Forcing him forward was clearly the goal of the scheme.
Napoleon gritted his teeth and was about to choose a retreat.
Just then, Napoleon heard a familiar voice calling out to him.
"Here, here!" (To be continued.) )
