Chapter Eighty-Six: Sherlock's Determination
Aya asked with some concern: "Why don't you retreat for the time being, to put it bluntly, this is similar to the drug in your memory, as long as you delay until the strength of the medicine passes, they will become weak." ”
Luo Ming smiled bitterly. The situation is somewhat unfavorable. Although they were not seen by anyone as the enemy soldiers on the other side, they were originally going to fight them, and now they have become more insanely powerful, and it is almost no good for their side.
Although he is confident that he will lead the team to wipe out the group of enemies who have fallen into bloodlust on the opposite side, how much physical strength will be lost on this side in the process? Will he and Granty be exchanged for injuries by a deadly attack?
Although Aya's concern touched him, it was also on paper. How can he retreat now? The previous battle was smooth sailing, in the final analysis, because his flag was planted in the city, and the morale of the soldiers was greatly increased.
But once you retreat, this bit of morale will be immediately discharged, and the opposite side will fall into a state of rage, and it doesn't matter about morale at all-under the advantages of one or the other, if you don't pay attention, you will collapse! At that time, not to mention your merit of attacking the city first, you will even be held accountable for the fault of losing so many soldiers and delaying the fighters.
Of course, under the feudal system, which has the natural flaw of being difficult to centralize power, this reason cannot kill Luo Ming, at most it is a fine and a penalty. But in this way, his friendly relationship with Sherlock basically collapsed, and from then on, Lockin's reputation and the banner were completely linked to failure and evasion, and the venture was a complete failure.
"First of all, kill the plate man...... Granty, you bring someone to cover me!"
Although he didn't know how it worked, that guy was clearly the key to bloodlust.
The power in her hands is not in vain, although it is necessary to conserve Granty's power in case of contingency, but there is no problem just to let her cover it.
And the knights and soldiers around him are also comrades-in-arms who can help.
====================================================
"No, what's wrong......"
Although he has never seen a real large-scale battlefield, Sherlock is still proficient in this level of warfare on paper.
Under the protection of two servants with large shields and a knight, she approached the battlefield and couldn't help frowning.
Before Luo Ming and others killed the city wall and set up the banner of the time, the soldiers were greatly encouraged, and many people climbed the city wall along the ladder, shouting to the sky.
Now, however, the offensive has suffered a setback.
She thought about the spell just now, and finally remembered it.
Bloodlust...... It sounds cheap and big, but the effect is said to be so strong that it is basically forbidden to be used in areas under the shroud of divine light, but it is a powerful weapon for those cultists and barbarians.
The most important thing is that the plate warrior who emits a red mist from his body...... Sherlock had a vague impression of that suit.
"Elder brother...... No, Charion, what the hell have you done!"
Thinking of this, she no longer hesitated and gave new instructions to her subordinates......
"The soldiers fought bloodily, all for you. If something unfortunate happens, it will cause you to break a layer of skin, and it will also be a heavy blow to morale. Your Excellency, please think again!"
Sir Severn spoke bitterly, but when he saw Sherlock's determined eyes, he knew that the words were of no use.
The previous Baron Miyana was such a person. Not only are they stubborn, but they are often witty. Except for a few people who can be persuaded by them to admit it, they can find a reason to deal with it in any case.
Instead of having meaningless debates with them, as a vassal, it is better to silently help arrange everything and make what was otherwise difficult easier.
"The old man understood. Sir Severn took up his shield and personally escorted Sherlock to a watchtower.
The tower is very lightweight, to put it bluntly, a small platform is propped up on a few wooden poles, and a few people can carry it around. You can stand on it and shoot at the opposite city, or let people go up to lookout, etc.
Now the watchtower is on the side of the moat, so it can be said that it is very close to the city.
"Mr. Lomin, please don't have any scruples, kill those who stand in the way! Kill those who don't descend!" shouted Sherlock in order to dispel Lomin's scruples.
Then, as she muttered something, a pale blue gem hanging from a slender silver chain appeared like a drop of dew.
The man in the plate armor—Charion turned his head and let out a roar at her.
"Hmph, don't blame me. Even if he, an outsider, is closer to me than your cousin, isn't he ashamed?
And Miana's family name will never be tarnished by you!"
Gritting her teeth and whispering out the words, Sherlock lifted her necklace and clutched the gem tightly, the sharp edge of the gem cutting through her palm, blood spreading across the gem......
"Broken!"
Almost at the same time, Lormin also noticed Sherlock's approach.
What the hell is this girl doing here? If she were to be raided, the siege would be in vain!
A warm, cool wave spread out from Sherlock's direction, covering almost half of the city. In this range, those who fell into the bloodthirsty spell, the red in both eyes faded by six or seven points, and most of the remaining red mist was dispelled.
Although it was strange how she could have such strong mana, Luo Ming didn't have time to worry about this now. He shouted "Thank you" and continued to swing his sword to slash his enemy.
The bloodthirsty spells of those soldiers and mercenaries have been broken in half, as if they have been poured a bucket of water head-on, although they are a lot more sober, but the increase in combat effectiveness brought by bloodthirsty spells has basically disappeared, and they will even fall into a state of fatigue after overdrawing in advance.
These soldiers and knights on the head of the city are enough to deal with the enemy army, even if Granty touches the fish a little to save his strength.
As for Luo Ming's own physical strength, with the help of Cang Yan, it was no worse than that of a sword master. The huge capacity of Xuanhai Dou Qi also helped a lot.
Seeing that the bloodthirsty spell at the head of the city was cracked, Kuran under the city was not in a hurry or annoyed, but only heard him shout, and Charion, who had completely turned into a puppet, roared and rushed towards Luo Ming.
"Kill!"
In the face of this stunned Qing who suddenly rushed towards Luo Ming, Granty, who was halfway through, did not hesitate to backhand a sword, and his fighting energy was gathered on the blade of the sword, even if the plate armor was likely to be pierced by a blow.
However, before her sword could land on Charion's body, the gap in the plate armor suddenly expanded, and strange forms of fat poured out of it.
No...... Rather, it is more appropriate to call it "tentacles".
