Chapter 923: The Body Blocks the Cannonball
The Black Nightmare began to sense that something was wrong when the Great Earthquake trembled.
"Attention everyone! The enemy may surprise at any time!"
Benjamin shouted at the watchtowers in all directions, then flew into the sky and looked around. At first, he hadn't noticed anything, but soon, his gaze changed when a torrent suddenly rushed down the mountain to the north.
...... Mudslide?
He felt something was wrong. Although it was raining, the previous climate was dry and did not have the conditions for mudslides. And to be honest, the fact that the town of Crewe has existed at the foot of the mountain for so long and has not been hit by any natural disasters is quite telling.
But time was of the essence, and Benjamin didn't have time to think about it. The torrent poured down the hillside and headed straight for the town of Crewe, a distance of only a dozen seconds. Crewe Town is protected by a rune defense array, but at this time, they need to face the ...... at this moment I'm afraid it's not just a mudslide.
Therefore, he did not hesitate to make a move.
I saw that to the north of Kru Town, an ice wall rose from the ground, stretching for thousands of meters, blocking the rune defense array. A few quick mages also flew over, and the earthen wall hurricane ...... Everything that could defuse the impact of the mudslide was piled up on the periphery of the barrier, like a makeshift wall.
- They were guarding the rune defense as much as possible, this thin barrier might be able to stop the mudslide, but no one knew what would follow.
The townspeople came out in a panic, thinking that at best they would encounter two armies. Of course, they did not expect to see a large flood mixed with sediment and rolling rubble, rushing down the mountain like an earthy yellow waterfall, and getting bigger and bigger in their eyes.
The earth was shaking, and some people even lost their balance and fell to the ground, not knowing whether they were shaken or frightened.
Then, more than ten seconds of time passed in a flash, and the mudslide rushed over!
The people of the town instantly felt like the world was spinning.
I saw that the turbulent torrent hit the ice wall, and the impact burst out violently, and for a time the muddy water splashed, and the highest even splashed hundreds of meters in the air. Under the impact of countless boulders, the ice wall soon became breached, and the defenses built by other mages were long submerged in the filthy muddy water, and even a shadow was gone.
And more muddy water is still rushing down the hillside. They slipped through the gap and slapped against the rune defenses, causing the barrier to flicker and flicker, but thankfully...... There is no sign of being broken.
The people of the town breathed a sigh of relief when they saw this.
However, Benjamin looked up at this moment and suddenly looked at the sky. And just as he expected, in the vast night rain in the sky at this moment, dozens of shimmering cannonballs, which looked inconspicuous, were slowly falling towards Crewe Town.
"Sure enough, it's the church. ”
It seems that Miles did not investigate the enemy's overall strategy. Moreover, how did the church do the mudslide that unwittingly brewed in the mountains?
Benjamin didn't have time to think about it. The impact of the mudslide, coupled with the holy light cannonballs in the sky, will undoubtedly break the rune defense array! But in this situation, as soon as the barrier is broken and the mudslide rushes in, the entire town will be destroyed!
So, he flew high into the air in the next second.
"Block those things for me. The water elemental spirit was summoned by him and flew head-on towards the dozens of cannonballs. At the same time, he himself opened up the deep sea realm, layers of ice mirrors emerged, and the elemental command and defense outline was completed...... In short, he threw out all the defenses he could use in a short period of time to block the barrier and prevent it from breaking directly under the gunfire.
Below, the rest of the mages took over Benjamin's responsibilities and gathered at the north entrance of Crewe Town to fight off the mudslide.
"No! I've calculated the strength, the rune defense array can't be maintained!" the system suddenly came out and shouted loudly, "Don't waste your efforts! As soon as those shells fall, the barrier will definitely shatter, so let's go down and evacuate the people and soldiers!"
Benjamin heard this, and looked at the cannonballs that were getting closer and closer, and then at the residents who were messing up into a pot of porridge below.
“...... It's too late. In the end, he could only take a deep breath and answer the system in his heart, and then pour more spiritual power into the layers of ice mirrors above, trying to make them thicker and stronger.
However, at this moment, a figure suddenly appeared further above the barrier.
Benjamin was stunned.
Is that......
I saw that the familiar figure rushed directly towards the cannonball, and the speed was even faster than that of the water elemental spirit, and what remained in the retina of others was only an afterimage. And in the next second, before the cannonball hit the enchantment, the man opened his arms and used his body to block the trajectory of several cannonballs falling!
Everyone who saw this scene was a little dumbfounded—including Grant and the bishops who were watching the battle from afar.
“...... Oh, how did we forget to count him!" At that moment, Grant came back to his senses and clenched his fists hard.
And in the next second, brilliant fireworks exploded over the town of Crewe.
Rumble!
The shells that were blocked by people were the first to explode, and the aftermath they emitted also caused the remaining dozens of shells to explode in the sky together. The entire explosion was about ten meters away from the enchantment, and the scorching holy light splashed in all directions, but it was blocked by layers of ice mirrors, and the last one that landed on the enchantment was only about two or three out of ten.
The barrier flickered, but in the end, it blocked all the holy light.
At the same time as the explosion, the figure that rushed into the sky was shocked by the instantaneous impact force, and slammed into the barrier of the rune defense array, seemingly accompanied by a big cry of pain. Then, the rune defense array separated into a small hole of its own, and he fell down the small hole, instantly falling back to Crewe Town, and finally disappeared into the crowd, and he didn't know where to go.
- Because everything happened so quickly, not many people saw it...... The man fell naked.
Benjamin covered his eyes.
Miles...... When the guy fell, he fell almost less than a meter in front of him.
You can't just look at it.
"Ungrateful fellow!" the system suddenly appeared, and righteously accused, "People's clothes are not exempt, and they were burned by the Holy Light at that moment." He didn't mean to run naked, what do you dislike there?"
Benjamin was speechless for a moment, shook his head, and said helplessly, "...... No, the light is too dazzling, I'll block it. ”
