Chapter Twenty-Eight: An Irresistible Fear Imprinted in the Depths of the Soul
A wizard in a robe, looking in disappointment at the raft that had escaped. Less than half of the nearly 200 infantry sent back returned, and the rest were also dejected, all with a happy expression of survival from under the fangs of the demons.
He sighed, turned around helplessly, and said:
"It doesn't seem like it's going to be easy to break through this faΓ§ade. The terrain there could only unfold seven or eight warriors at a time. Even if we defeat that wolf-like knight, we will likely have to face many more powerful extraordinaires.
"We need armor-piercing hammers, tomahawks, heavy swords, determined soldiers and powerful extraordinaires.
"Lord Reims, in short, only the leaders and heroes of the great army can defeat such a ferocious enemy. β
The wizard expressed his opinion, and the samurai around him turned their heads to look at a tall villain in heavy armor, and they all agreed.
"Master Mage is right. β
"Lady Lance, listen to you!"
Rebel leader Lance looked at the man with a vulture-sharp gaze under his tent calmly: "Fangs Holland, if you can kill that knight, one-third of the wealth of Bate Manor will be given to you." β
The leader who was named just snorted coldly: "That's it, everyone knows that these poor nobles have few children except for territory and food, and their money has been turned into securities and bonds, and it is not easy to turn it into cash." If you want me to go and fight with this tin can, it will be half of the manor, and Matt the mad dog, Lupin the lame will go with me. β
Lance narrowed his eyes slightly, nodded slowly, and pointed to a soldier on the other side of the tent: "That's it." Steel rod Philo, you take the double knife Marso and the iron axe Wall with you. You will receive two hundred men on each side, and whoever can kill the knight will receive half of the manor.
"Master Daruno, you take two hundred infantry to follow, and immediately storm the castle after breaking through the village wall. β
When the seven leaders received the order, they all responded to each other, and then you pushed me and walked out of the tent.
Mage Reed, who had defected to the rebels, watched the leaders leave, turned around and spoke again: "Although the leaders are brave and the curse of Lord Daruno is also very powerful, there are still powerful transcendents in the manor in Sequence 6, and the leaders alone are afraid that they will not be able to catch it. β
Lance stood up, his little eyes shining, "Otherwise, why do you think I sent them up first?"
......
Rana sat on the dirt slope for a moment when he suddenly heard hurried footsteps behind him. He turned his head and found Fiona wearing a beautiful silver cuirass running to the gap, and couldn't help but be shocked, "How did you come to such a dangerous place?"
"The seal is ready~ I brought you breakfast!" The long-haired girl opened the paper bag in her hand and stuffed a fragrant meat sausage into Lana's hand, "You can't eat enough bread." β
Lana smiled hesitantly, took the sausage and stuffed it into his mouth, and said while chewing: "The rebels will come up soon, this time their extraordinary and elite soldiers will attack, you leave the things and go back quickly." β
Fiona shook her head again and again, standing on tiptoe to look at the ocean in the distance: "They are about to arrive, I am here to cover you, do you listen to meββ! Professor They will launch a large-scale attack spell on the castle, during which we must plug the gap and prevent them from rushing in."
"And besides, without me constantly supplying them with mana, the effect will be discounted when you use it. β
The girl said, pointing in the direction obscured by the building: "If we can't hold it, Murat will bring a militia reserve to meet us." β
Before the two of them could argue with a result, the black-pressed raft had reappeared on the turbid water.
One by one, the bandits wrapped their heads in filthy red and yellow turbans, and roared from afar with a variety of weapons in their hands. This time, more than a fifth of their team was equipped with various types of armor, and their swords and guns were neatly organized, and their momentum was far better than before.
A strong archer drilled out of the raft, and as Rana opened his strong bow, he shot an arrow with a "whoosh". Fiona drew her sword at her waist with lightning speed, and struck a blow before Lana knocked the feather arrow to the ground.
"Look! I'm amazing!"
The flood had subsided, and Fangfang Holland and the leaders shouted as they approached the mud under the walls, urging their minions to jump off the raft and step on the shallow water to the slope.
"The new gods and the old gods are on top, and there is a beauty on that sludge, am I dazzled?"
A rebel had just bitten a dagger and squeezed out of the raft, and when he looked up, he saw a slender blonde girl beside the tall black-armored guard on the slope.
She was wrapped in fine silver plate armor, wearing a silver helmet with outstretched wings, her long blonde hair hanging down to her slender waist, and her slender and tall figure was as seductive as a fairy in a mural.
"I vouch for it with Daddy Stove's beard, you are not dazzled. The little beauty was still wearing a white dress under her armor, and she didn't even get any mud on it. β
The thieves muttered to each other, and even began to discuss the question of who would come first after the girl was captured. Daruno, a fallen mage who was originally leading the palace, even scolded his subordinates and asked them to make way for them to make way for the first wave to land.
Only Fang Huolan's eyes flickered, and he retreated into the crowd.
The crossbowmen among the bandits had approached a dozen paces away, firing a round of locust-like arrows at Rana. Rana hurriedly hid Fiona behind her and took half a step back to the back of the slope, fending off the rain of arrows with his sword and sword.
"Stop, stop, shoot the little beauty, I want your dog dead!" the steel rod Fellowo was already screaming, and kicked a crossbowman into the water with a single kick.
......
On the low, roofless castle tower of Baron Bate, Professor Witzleben looked down at the ant-like rebels, raised his hand and chanted obscure incantations. A fluctuating mist surged through the bloody air, and vague shadows and arcs of electricity loomed over the rebel-infused area beyond the gap.
A solemn sense of oppression appeared on the battlefield, and the wind and air seemed to be blocked by invisible walls, slowly compressing unobtrusively.
Witzleben's indifferent eyes swept over hundreds of rebels, and a cold smile appeared on the corner of his mouth:
"Prepare the groups, activate the spell I have set for you.
"Ishus, activate the spirit link and show the coordinates to everyone. β
Viscount Iseus nodded, and sprinkled the charged dust crystals in the enchantment circle that had been prepared long ago. The clear mind extended to the consciousness of the dozens of magic students present and gathered under the tower, forming an illusory and clear three-dimensional image in their minds.
In this image, castles, village walls, water and swarming rebels come to life. Blocking Lana and distant allies are alerted by a soft blue light, while the rebel brigade is densely populated with wriggling red dots.
A few seconds later, a faint dotted line appeared in front of the red dot, marking their movements.
A grid-like shadow emerges from the vast battlefield image, and several columns of swirling air masses mark the casting positions of each spell team. These positions were placed in the breach and in the water around them, encircling the incoming rebels on three sides under the village wall.
At the heart of this series of vortex trajectories, where the rebels were about to resist, three intertwined ripples gathered and wriggled to envelop almost all of the rebels, ominous and terrifying.
The psionic network connects everyone present. They didn't need to relax and have privacy to get a real-time view of the battlefield that Ishes had drawn and shared, and according to the predetermined arrangement, a catastrophe was about to befall them.
Bertier, Dedeus and a few classmates were gathering around a blue circle, chanting in unison. For trainee mages with insufficient mental power, co-casting can activate powerful spells that can only be used by the caster of Sequence 7, but there are very high requirements for synergy, phase, and qualifications between each person.
Sonia and a few other classmates also stood by the circle that had already been drawn, and their configurations had begun to bear fruit, becoming more stable and stronger.
One by one, the rafts slammed into each other, and the leaders, led by Philo the steel rods, immediately shouted and rushed to Lana.
Lana shielded Fiona behind her and slashed at the swarming bandits.
Wherever the sword went, four or five enemies immediately fell to the ground screaming, and the others were so angry that they held their footsteps.
Suddenly, a figure flashed out of the crowd and rushed over.
"Unload his greatsword!"
The plain hands of the rebel leader, the lame Rupin, suddenly swelled into huge limbs as thick as buckets. He dodged out with a large, striking steel fork and plunged towards Lana's greatsword.
"Phew!"
The heavy blade collided with the steel fork, bursting into a string of fire. Lu Ping, whose hands were strangely not human, and the steel fork in his hand bounced directly away, but Lana also felt a huge vibration in his hands, the tiger's mouth burst, and the horse sword in his hand was also knocked out!
The crippled Lupin turned out to have strange and inhuman powers. His shot was premeditated, and he completed the disarming in one round.
The leaders who had already been ready to attack smirked and swarmed up. They are also the leaders of a team because of their unique skills and extraordinary characteristics.
Without the deterrence of the sword, the steel rod Ferry smashed down head-on with a terrifying mace, and several spears also came like forest thorns.
Having lost his weapon, Rana took a deep breath and roared at the onrushing rebels, who were immediately captured by a heart-rending force that could be controlled and slowed down in a wide area, suffocating the stormy attack.
At this moment, the fallen mage Daruno hidden in the crowd blatantly crushed an ugly and strange rag doll on his chest, and a black mist rolled through the rebel crowd like a rana.
Rana inexplicably felt that he was about to suffer doom, and his fighting spirit and fighting spirit were covered with a black cloth and lost his luster, and his actions became sluggish and weak. As a barrier breaker, he shouldn't have been easily trapped by magic, but the black mist lingered like a living creature.
He had just unleashed his extraordinary abilities, and he couldn't mobilize enough strength to fight against this strange magic for a while, and he actually felt powerless to sink deeper and deeper into the darkness.
Seeing that Lana lost his main weapon in one turn and was in trouble, the Homonwarts classmates watching the battle from the tower also exclaimed, and even Berthier, who was casting spells, couldn't help but be shaken.
At this time, Sonia said calmly: "Everyone continue to prepare the spell, don't stop." β
Iseus's face did not hide his sorrow, and he couldn't help but say:
"Rana is in critical condition. If the wall is breached, the attack we are preparing will not work.
"It's at least two minutes before the spell takes effect. I must hurry up and get Murat to help. β
"Don't worry. Sonia smiled and shook her head, "The moment you lose your two-handed sword, Rana will show her true strength." β
......
The sword swirled and made a dull humming sound that swept across the slope and landed behind the wall. Seeing that victory was in sight, the rebel leader and hundreds of his men had all jumped out of the raft, daggers in their mouths and hatches in their hands, stepping on blood and broken corpses, and viciously surrounded and slaughtered.
Three or four hundred rebels rushed together, almost filling the shallows under the breach.
"What? have you found an opportunity?" Lana took two steps back, scanning the crowd of people in the black press, a cruel smile curling up at the corners of his mouth.
Do you think that restraining the sword will restrain me? Such a heavy long weapon is not prepared for you thin little bodies.
Now, let you learn the power of rage!
He took off his heavy helmet and threw it down, and whispered behind him:
"The sword comes. β
In the focus of hundreds of gazes, Fiona, who was in silver robe and silver armor, unfolded the satin backpack she was carrying, her jade hand was lightly raised, and two cold rays of light flew into Lana's hand.
Her breath was connected to the cold light, and her eyes bloomed with particle-like golden colors, echoing the light and shadow:
"In the name of Xia Long's bloodline, liberate the true name of the twin swords.
"Give your power to my knights!
"Defend against the attacks and curses of the enemy, Patriarch of the Sword of Eternity,
"Throw fear down in front of them, Excalibur Majestic Fury!"
......
"Philo was impatient. β
Lance, who was watching the battle from afar, said lightly, as if he was talking about trivial matters. He had already descended to the water three hundred meters away from the castle by Wizard Reed, under the heavy guard of the armored soldiers.
On the slope of the crowd of people, two magic swords with a mysterious aura had appeared in the hands of the standing Lana, one bright and one dark, and the steaming blood qi poured out from his limbs and hundreds of remains, and the sword light converged into a substance of staggered sword qi appeared above his head, bursting out with a clear impact sound of jingge intertwined.
The voodoo curse that Daruno had cast was burned by the sword in the blink of an eye.
Philo changed his sword and shield, and slashed at Lana first: "What's the use of this?"
The blood light on his knife reflected it, and it had already released the bloody resentment of his slaughtering of living beings. Under this blow, even the enemy can be shaken by the power of enchanted and enchanted weapons.
"Phew!"
Rana holds a weapon with his left hand. Fello felt like his full force had struck the city wall, his wrist cracked, and blood flew along with the long knife.
A headache-inducing humming sound stirred up. In the beating firelight, Rana was seen holding a defensive sword in his left hand. This bladeless weapon has four edges, a slightly smaller upper end, a handle at the lower end, and a groove on the body.
"What kind of weapon is this?" Iron Axe Wall responded, slashing at Lana. His heavy weapons are also very restrained with his sword, and if the wielder blocks with his weapon, the blade can be broken, and he may even be slashed directly from the middle.
Rana swept his sword in his hand, and a spark flew from under the blade of the axe. The shocking shock came from the axe grip, and Wall could barely hold the weapon in his hands.
Lana's right magic sword had been changed to a pick, and the blade pierced through the gap between Wall's arms and stabbed straight into his throat, stabbing like lightning.
Iron Axe Wall's neck was pierced, and the rebels behind could even see Lana's figure in front of him in the splattered blood. He clutched his throat and didn't retreat when a golden light slammed into his head and face, splitting his skull and smashing the hairy and broken marrow like a fountain.
In the blood light, Rana unleashed a whirlwind. His left hand sword swept away the spear and short spear that were like a forest stab, and the cold and shining steel sword in his right hand was just a split.
Layers of spears and axes were swept away, and they broke like papier-mΓ’chΓ© stalks, and bundles of spear heads broke and flew up.
The double-bladed Maso shouted a tumble and flashed straight through the crowd to Rana's legs, raising his blade and stabbing it into his waist.
If, when the two armies were facing each other, the pikemen would lunge at each other, and a brave warrior like Maso would tumble under the guns and chop the thighs and ankles of the gunmen on the other side. Suddenly, he noticed that the top of his head lit up, and all that was left of the long and short spears that had been densely pierced was a handful of wooden sticks, and the heads of large and small spears fell like raindrops.
"No!"
Before he could turn around in surprise, Lana had slashed his sword towards his face. Maso raised his knife to resist, and the steel knife immediately broke in two, and the blade, half of the screaming face, and the helmet flew out together.
Rana chopped down Wall one after another, cut down Marso, tore at the rebels' ranks, and slaughtered like melons and vegetables.
The rebels could not break through the resistance of the sword, and the shield and armor were useless under the Broken Steel Sword. In the blink of an eye, a large number of wounded soldiers were struggling on the muddy ground with their hands on the bloody wounds, clutching the trouser legs of the blades beside them.
The rebel brigades that were rushing to the gap were forced to meet their heads. A wave rushed up and was killed in a blink of an eye, and no matter how wildly they screamed, they couldn't take a single step.
"Stabilize the formation!"
The leaders and strong men of the rebels shouted, and they reined in formation and stopped rushing.
"Crossbowman, come up and shoot him!"
At this moment, some of the sharp-sensed people in the dense rebel ranks felt an indescribable wave of fear and palpitations, as if a monstrous beast was reaching out its tentacles from the muddy water beneath its feet, opening its terrifying mouthparts to devour the living.
The towers of Baron Bate's castle were violently shaken by the power of magic.
A blue halo suddenly radiated from the red and yellow muddy water, and a strange ring appeared in the corresponding position in mid-air, gradually forming and slowly descending.
"What is this?"
Many of the rebels in the crowd exclaimed. But a few leaders like Poisonfang Horan frantically pushed away the minions around him without saying a word, and squeezed out of the crowd. The fallen mage Daruno scurried with his head in his hands.
The light and lines under his feet and overhead quickly became clear and steady, and in the blink of an eye, a powerful coercion and deadly aura had enveloped the earth.
The flood and the earth roared, and the same light was rippling on the manor castle not far away.
Even the most uninformed bandits realized that something was wrong, and the irresistible fear of predators and predators that was imprinted in the depths of their souls reminded them of -
It's a world ruled by magic!
They have been shrouded in a wide range of attack spells.
The three circles that rose from levitation spun rapidly in the crowd and moved closer to each other, each minute closer they were, the more cruelty and terror filled the air. At the same time, several invisible air positions appeared on the outskirts of the rebels, like a wall of wind that could not be invaded, cutting off their escape route.
"Run!"
The rebels screamed in unison.
"Hissββ!"
The roar of tearing sackcloth resounded across the battlefield, and hordes of rebels were swept into a whirlpool like blades, as if they had been thrown into a meat grinder, and were instantly crushed to pieces.
In the other two parts of the dense rebel ranks, a bone-eating chill suddenly appeared, wrapping the bandits in single clothes in pale frost.
A fleeing bandit heard a click in his thighs, and out of the corner of his eye, he saw that his white legs had been broken at the knees, revealing broken bones and frozen flesh, and his two lower legs had frozen in blood like icicles.
With a crackling sound, at the core of the freezing ice, a patch of famous mountain thieves shattered into scattered pieces of ice together, and landed on the frozen ice with a terrible sound.
"Ahββ!h
Swept away by the aftermath of the magic, the bandits who were lucky enough to survive let out a scream. Half of their hands and feet were torn apart by horrific magical attacks, and the other half was because they saw their companions turn into clumps of flesh and ice in an instant.
Three terrifying magical forces intertwined with each other and collided violently. The fierce winds and the extreme cold tore at the rebel ranks, intensifying and expanding in scope, engulfing hundreds of people in the blink of an eye.
