Volume 1 The Order of Chaos Chapter 45 The Roasted Magic Eye
Fidel held a sharp two-handed sword in his hand and slowly touched James's vicinity, and by this time Andre was almost powerless to resist
There were also three MONOCULUS mercenaries besieging Andre, while a few brave Moon Shield mercenaries surrounded him to protect him.
"Leave me alone, kill their leader first!" Andre turned to Field, who was about to wait for an opportunity, but James heard this, and turned his head sharply to see Field, who was about to draw his sword from behind.
James also swung his knife to block Field's first lunge. Although he saw Fidel's flaws, he didn't have time to fight back.
At this time, the mercenaries of the Moon Shield Mercenary Group and the MONOCULUS mercenaries in the castle were in a scuffle. With the influx of MONOCULUS mercenaries outside the castle, the brothers Marcus and Matthews had to withdraw to defend themselves against attacks from behind, while some ran to the basement and second and third floors of the castle, and the battle continued in every corner of the castle. At the beginning, more than half of the eighty two-handed swordsmen arranged on the first floor had been killed or wounded, and the rest stood on the corpses of their companions and continued to fight against the MONOCULUS mercenaries. They also began to learn some techniques for fighting the MONOCULUS mercenaries, such as trying not to face enemies shoulder to shoulder at the same time and trying not to attack actively so as not to show their flaws.
Andre shouted at Field, who was confronting James: "I really didn't expect these guys to be so powerful, if I had known that they were so strong, I would have listened to your arrangement and arranged some crossbowmen here!"
Feld didn't reply, he now had a two-handed sword in his hand, his eyes staring directly at James. He didn't attack first, but waited for James to strike first. And James, the leader of the MONOCULUS mercenary group, didn't strike first, he was waiting for an opportunity.
"Are you going to be patient with me, my men are about to break through the castle's defenses," James' eyes in his enchanted helmet stared at Fidel as he wondered how to deal with the black plate armor in front of him, "and then our brother will chop you into meat sauce!"
At this time, Fid's eyes looked to the opponent's right, and the sword in his hand also waved towards the opponent's right.
"Attacking from this side?" James couldn't find the best opportunity to counterattack for a while, so he raised the straight-edged knife in his hand and blocked in the direction of the opponent's attack in advance. But Field's next action turned out to be to take the sword out of his hand, and the two-handed sword continued to slash towards James in the air, and James had already blocked this attack, but Fielder used all his strength to rush forward. James couldn't dodge and had to turn sideways to avoid the other man, but he was still a little late and was knocked to the ground by Fidel.
James's steel armor and overlay helmet were so heavy that he couldn't stand up on his own for a moment. By this time, Fei De was already standing beside him, holding a two-handed sword high and slashing at his abdomen. James saw the flaw at a glance, and he pulled a sharp dagger from his waist and raised it upward, straight into Feide's lower abdomen.
That's right, that's how to cut me. James's wishful thinking in his heart is ringing, as long as Fei De slashes down on himself, not to mention whether this sword can penetrate his plate armor, the other party will definitely suffer a blow from himself first, or he will already die.
However, he didn't expect Fidel to be wearing armor with the "quagmire" enchantment, but he didn't even give him a chance to trigger the enchantment. Just as James raised the dagger, Fed's wrist turned, and the downward slashing sword immediately turned into a diagonal cut, and the touch of James's palm was neatly slashed. And James has not yet entered the painful state of losing his palm, and the two-handed sword that slashes down continues to cut diagonally. It turned out that the target of this swing was not only his palm, but the only part of James' eyes that was exposed in the entire enchanted helmet.
James had no way to see this last intention with the help of the "magic eye", his eyes were exposed, and he took the slash forcefully.
Fidel's two-handed sword sank into James's head, and he didn't intend to pull it out, anyway, the leader of the MONOCULUS mercenary group was already dead.
These MONOCULUS mercenaries can't predict the opponent's movements at all, but just use the enchanted "third eye" to observe the opponent's movement trend and remind their brains to react accordingly. This is a weakness at all, as long as you use feints to deceive the "magic eye", the magic eye helmet will become a burden that disrupts the brain's judgment. When our people realize this, what you rely on most is really vulnerable. Feder thought to himself.
On that side, Andre had already dealt with a few two-handed swordsmen and eliminated the three MONOCULUS mercenaries in front of him. Andre's fighting skills and strength were far superior to those of his opponent, but he was so passive because of a wound to his right hand. However, there is also a mistake, and it is not easy to show flaws in the face of MONOCULUS mercenaries in the case of passive defense.
Colin, who was hiding in a corner while he was in chaos, was also kicked out by several two-handed swordsmen, and he was a civil official who could only wait to be captured when all the guards around him were dead.
"Hey, this guy hurt me, I should have solved it!" Andre said to Fidel as he sat in the city council's seat, gasping for breath, "but forget it, I owe you this favor." He tore off a piece of clothing to bandage the stab wound on his right hand
Fielder ignored him, picking up the straight-edged knife that James had thrown aside, a long knife suitable for slashing but not for stabbing. He chopped off James's head, stuck it at the very top of the straight-edged knife, and held it high.
"Your regimental commander is dead, if you want to live," Fed shouted to the MONOCULUS mercenaries who were still fighting in the castle, "drop your weapons, take off your helmets and surrender." It wasn't his style to speak loudly, but he shouted it very loudly, so that some of the MONOCULUS mercenaries outside the castle could hear it. Many of the MONOCULUS mercenaries turned their heads to look at the head raised in Fidel's hand, and Andre shouted at the same time.
"You have long fallen into our trap, the regular army of the Republic of Marvil is about to arrive, and your master," said Andrei, standing up, "has fled back to the kingdom of Kose, abandoning you. ”
Some of the MONOCULUS mercenaries were slashed to the ground by the TWO-HANDED Swordsmen when they were distracted, while the more MONOCLUS mercenaries in the castle continued to fight, but they realized their desperate situation only after hearing the terrible howls coming from afar and seeing their companions running like roast pigs.
Alain had ordered all the archers standing on high places to replace their arrows with oil-soaked cloth-tipped arrows—except for himself. Because he thought about the picture after that, he didn't intend to let his noble enchanted bow do such a cruel thing.
The lit arrows were like a flaming torch, shot at the MONOCULUS mercenaries walking through the streets. And when the cloth arrow hit the heavy armor of the MONOCULUS mercenary, the oil immediately splashed on the steel plate armor, and the fire suddenly exploded. The flames of extreme heat passed through the steel armor to the clinging flesh, like slicing pork and beef being fried on an iron pan, only this time it was replaced by human flesh.
Originally, those steel plate armor were the armor they were proud of, but now they became kitchen utensils that accelerated their cooking. They struggled in the flames to take off the plate armor, but there was no way to remove the heavy and hot steel armor, and some of the places that were burned by the hot fire stuck to the flesh inside, which was miserable.
Some MONOCULUS mercenaries wanted to fight back at the archers, but with such a weight of armor and helmets, how could they have a chance to fight back against the nimble archers standing on a high place? And in order to force these hidden MONOCULUS mercenaries to come out, some archers also fired rockets at the houses, and the entire Gansha City gradually turned into a city of fire. With the exception of the castle and walled areas, most of the main streets have been turned into crematoriums where MONOCULUS mercenaries run wildly, and the screams are endless, literally hell on earth.
The sword and shield troops of Bithluvius retreated to the city gate after cooperating with the squadron of archers to eliminate the 1,000 Kingdom infantry, and more mercenaries stood on the city wall to assist Eddy and them in resisting the siege of 100,000 people of the Kosai Kingdom.
Although Jack had a large number of troops, the archers on the walls were constantly aiming at the soldiers who were forming siege ladders, so the siege was completely unable to keep up. And since Jack's troops were mainly light infantry, there was not much to do in the face of the pitiful number of defensive archers on the city wall, so he had to raise his shield to defend against flying arrows while stepping up the use of ladders to attack.
"Jack! a fire has burned in the city, and it looks like the Republic of Marvil is planning to burn it!" Ampvo could already smell some burning.
"Damn! These guys are going to use such a vicious method against our people, do we really want to abandon Colin and them?" But just then, a large army appeared in the desert in the direction of Honor City.
One of the commanders on a warhorse was the Archon Barnes.
"It seems that the resistance of Gansha City is still effective, look over there," Barnes said to the leaders of the mercenary group beside him, "Those thousands of people of the Moon Shield Mercenary Regiment can keep so many Winter Nation soldiers out!" He is the general in charge of this support, and there are a total of forty-seven mercenary groups around him, with an average of nearly 1,500 people per mercenary group, and a total of about 70,000 mercenary combined forces are heading towards Gansha City.
The leader of one of the mercenary regiments said to Barnes, "If the momentum is not right, we can abandon the city and retreat." ”
"That's right, we're outnumbered by each other, and it's best if we can scare them away, if not..."
"Yes, yes, even if we repel the guys from the Kosai Kingdom, we will be invited by the Moon Shield Mercenary Regiment. ”
And Jack's side is already in a state of flux.
"Your Royal Highness, there are tens of thousands of troops over there!" a scout reported to Jack.
Ampwer turned his horse's head, turned to Jack, and said, "Retreat!
"How can it!?" Jack clenched his teeth, his eyes bloodshot, and the horsewhip in his hand was clenched, "My subordinates are still trapped in the city, how can I abandon them and return in vain!"
But the next piece of bad news is often bad news. A scout ran from the back of the queue and reported loudly, "Report! Just received a letter from the crow, the Oguna Empire is invading our territory from the border! ”
