Chapter 176: The Battle of Doret XIV
The champion fighter's fighting skills are unmatched by the strong man with the double axe, and in such bad weather, the strong man without armor did not gain more weight advantage, so he was already scarred after a few fights. Since Patrick is a gladiator, he is not good at hurting or killing opponents, and because of the thick skin of that Hercules, Patrick's two long swords have not yet dealt enough damage to the opponent to knock them down.
And just when Patrick was about to win, a crossbowman of the East Oguna Empire picked up a crossbow and aimed it at Patrick's leg and shot an arrow! When Fide saw the crossbowman raise the crossbow, he realized that in such a short distance, if he couldn't shoot Patrick, he would definitely shoot the Hercules, so Fide had already subconsciously climbed over the junction of the city wall, and at this time he had realized that there was something wrong with what Patrick said just now!
Patrick didn't notice that there would be a dark arrow in the one-on-one duel, but because the wind was so strong, the bolt only hit Patrick's calf somewhere where there was no armor. But even this was enough to make Patrick lose his center of gravity in an instant and fall to one side!
The strong man with the double axe didn't give him a chance, as if he saw through Patrick's unbreakable enchanted armor, he slashed straight at Patrick's other leg!
By this time, Feder had already rushed to Patrick's side, and he blocked the double axe with a "silence", and then pulled the other man away. Patrick immediately threw out the long sword in his hand and slammed it into Hercules' chest. The Hercules was unsteady on his feet, and because he had been pierced through the chest by the sword, he staggered backwards.
"Although I am a regimental commander, in the face of the enemy's provocation by name, I should never be replaced by someone else. Instead of helping Patrick pull out the bolt from his calf, Fylde pulled Patrick back. The mercenary subordinates behind him immediately drew their weapons, climbed over the junction of the city walls, and rushed over to this side! And the invading troops of the East Oguna Empire also took out their shields and steel swords, ready to meet the enemy.
What would have been a fair one-on-one duel immediately turned into a group fight, and although some of the invading soldiers shouted that they were not allowed to continue advancing towards the walls of the city, the mercenaries ignored it completely, and they only saw that their regimental commander and squadron leader were in danger.
Captain Jasmine, who was holding a heavy crossbow, also killed this sinister guy as soon as the crossbowman released the dark arrow. You must know that in this continent, although honor and fairness are no longer the mainstream of society, it is also shameful to use hidden arrows to hurt people and poison in one-on-one duels. And for those knights who value honor, even when their lives are seriously threatened, they will not use indiscriminate means, which may be a kind of pedantic.
After Phyll's rescue of Patrick, several of the Potato Mercenary Corps' mercenaries immediately took Patrick down to heal his wounds, and Marcus reminded Phyd that his behavior was too impulsive and reckless. If Feder misses the slightest, then the mission to protect this area will be a failure.
Feld understood what Marcus meant, but he remembered his father, Fawkes, the head of the Order who would never refuse an enemy's one-on-one request.
"Fed, look at that troop over there. AYANA patted Feide on the shoulder, and Feide followed the direction of Ayana's finger and looked somewhere in the sub-city to the east. There was a force full of women's armor, and it was hiding among the hoplites, as if it were not the main force of the siege force.
"That banner is the Widow Mercenary Regiment!" Marcus also saw the female warrior unit, and the rather distinctive banner told him that it was the Widow Mercenary Regiment of the Mercenary Guild.
A sword is painted on the banner of the widow mercenary group, and long hair grows from the tip of the sword. The well-informed Marcus recognized the other party at first sight, and Fielder also saw that the mercenary group, which numbered about a thousand people, was approaching this side of the city. Did Myra, the deputy head of the widow mercenary regiment who had met with the regent Shumo in the Defense Council, just pretend to ally with the Theoguna Empire?
Feder didn't know what the appearance of the widow mercenary group meant, but at this time, the saint Golia, who was still on the high platform of the city wall, also glanced in the direction of the widow mercenary group that appeared in the eastern sub-city. But Golia, after a glance, continued to chant the incantation, as if she were in the middle of a long, attention-demanding ritual.
At this moment, in the dungeon of Doret City, the six members of the Special Operations Team had already eliminated all the crossbowmen who were blocking the door.
Before, Avi tried to crack the transformation magic of the wall by cracking the corpse of the hunchbacked man, and sure enough, he succeeded. But the crossbowman behind the door was already in full swing, and fortunately, the big-nosed fan pulled Avi away from the wooden door in the first place, otherwise the first round of crossbow arrows would have killed Avi.
Captain Sepra and Gomon immediately rushed through the wooden door, and they killed all the crossbowmen while they were reloading their bolts. And the girl twelve also cleaned up the defenders who wanted to escape, and easily defused the enemy's ambush.
It wasn't until the six of them left the room where the corpses were piled up that they actually came to the dungeon.
"Hey, were you crazy just now?" asked Fan, patting Avi on the head. Twelve also came to Avi's side, she touched Avi's hair, then looked into the other's eyes, and only looked away after a moment.
"No, it's just that I've discovered that those corpses are nothing more than magic tricks," Avi glanced at the corpses of the dozen or so crossbowmen, blood leaking from the wounds of the corpses, "and then find a way to crack it." ”
"So you're not going to gnaw on corpses now, are you?" said Fan, kicking the corpse of one of the crossbowmen.
At this time, Captain Sepra came over, and he also asked Janger and Gemen and the others to come closer, "Don't mention what happened in that room just now, there is no need to delve into any magic, we need to find Golia quickly now, if she is in this place." ”
"But we can't even defeat the hunchbacked man with the iron mask," Jenger stood furthest, but no one blamed him for fleeing back to the entrance of the secret passage in the first place.
"If that guy were to let me run into it a second time, I wouldn't give him a chance to dig up his own entrails. Captain Sepra fist-clinged, and his killing nature seemed to be revealed.
Avi saw that the room they were in was supposed to be a bedroom, and the bed and the cupboard full of clothes were still there. And some feminine products are also placed on the dresser, and it is estimated that this is the residence of St. Golia. Avi was surprised to see a lot of cosmetics on the dresser, he had thought that Golia was a magician who did not eat fireworks in the world, and her sister Miss Delia was the kind of woman who never dressed up, and never saw a woman who would put makeup on her face, but he did not expect Goliath to be the opposite.
"Alright, now you all follow me, and if you come across an enemy, kill them immediately," Captain Sepra walked over to the closet, opened the closet and checked it for a while, and continued, "I believe there are no mechanisms in this dungeon, so you just need to keep an eye on the living ones." ”
The six members of the Einsatzgruppen team then searched the dungeon, and the six of them basically acted together. They searched the dungeon and found no trace of the Iron-Mask Hunchback Man and Goliath, only a few servants and a very small number of guards. The guards looked completely different from the prepared crossbowmen, and most of them didn't realize that the dungeon had been breached, so they only needed to kill all the guards with a single blow.
After they searched all the dungeons, Avi suddenly found that many infantry from the East Oguna Empire had already arrived at the dungeon along the secret passage they had entered. The hoplites did not pay attention to the Einsatzgruppen, and they did not linger in the dungeon, but walked directly to the outside of the dungeon and attacked the interior of the main city of Dorette. Avi had already received information before entering the dungeon, above the dungeon was the center of the city's town square, and it was estimated that there were still many civilians there, and he only hoped that these attacking troops would not harm innocent civilians.
"There's no Goliath here. Avi spoke to Captain Cyprus in disappointment when he opened the door to the last utility room and found it empty.
"Let's go up to the surface, maybe Wood's route is the right one. ”
When the six of them left the dungeon and walked to the center of the town square in the city, the city was already full of gunsmoke, and some of the soldiers of the West Oguna Empire who stayed in the city were fighting in every alley with the East Oguna Empire attacking army that broke through from the dungeon.
Avi and Fan both covered their noses, because the foul smoke was coming from the burning buildings, and the dark clouds in the sky had plunged the entire city of Doret into darkness and chaos, screams and shouts were incessant, and it looked like hell on earth.
"Don't stop! let's move on to another place where Golia might be present!" Captain Cyprus pointed to the southern wall of the city, which was flanked by the secondary city, which was presumably already under the control of the attacking forces of the Eastern Oguna Empire.
At this moment there was a man standing on the corner of the street, and Avi stumbled upon him as he followed Captain Cyprus forward - a blind man holding a cat in his hands and his eyes bound by rags.
Avi always felt a little familiar when he looked at the folded ear cat, but he didn't think about it when he hurriedly left with the others, and in the end, he didn't remember that this person was another mage heir, "Cat's Eye".
"The three of us are finally reunited today, are you happy?" "Cat's Eye" gently stroked the fur of the folded ear cat with his hand, this old cat was already in his old age, but he still responded very considerately to his owner, maybe it was happy.
