Chapter Thirty-Nine: The Magic Defense Activates

As soon as they saw the magic defense that was obviously thrown by the old man, everyone was like a frightened bird, desperately shrunk their bodies under the shield or vindictive shield, and the more timid ones simply closed their eyes and resigned themselves to fate.

Silently waiting for the fatal blow to come, but after a few seconds, nothing happened except for the silent ripples of mana that caused circles of dust, scattered in the air to indicate that something had once existed, but the appearance of thunder and rain.

Failed?

The city guards present had never seen the failure of the magic defense, and naturally they didn't know whether the magic defense would be "expired and invalid", so they couldn't help but widen their eyes, looking around like a flock of stupid geese, and tremblingly swept all corners of the first floor in their sight.

The wind was calm, and there was no movement.

"Whew-" Someone finally took the lead in taking a breath of air, and the heart that was lifted was slowly put back into the stomach, confirming that it was a false alarm.

In the sound of panting one after another, all the city guards present began to reduce the amount of fighting qi released, the fighting energy of the second-level soldiers was not too much, and they must always pay attention to using it as sparingly as possible.

The captain of the arrow team looked up suspiciously, hesitated for a while, he was the backbone of the whole group at the moment, and how to deal with it next became a problem that he had to face no matter how headache he was.

In the corner of the second floor, Plitander smiled evilly and curled his fingers, one by one, and counted them. One, two, three, four...... When all ten counts were finished, the old butler quickly covered his ears with his fingers.

Normer and Dawn hurriedly drew the gourd in the same way and plugged their ears together.

At the same time as the old urchin on the second floor took the two little ones and prepared to deal with them with a malicious smile, the two sides of the gate on the first floor suddenly flashed red light silently, and then a powerful thrust poured out from each other, pushing the city guards who were clustered together and discussing whether they should retreat temporarily to the middle of the hall.

"What's going on, what's going on?"

"Oh no, I've been tricked!"

A group of unprepared archers screamed, and under the sudden and majestic thrust, the men turned on their horses, and involuntarily staggered forward, and soon pushed three close warriors with large shields in their hands to the middle of the hall, and in front of them was the captain of the arrow team with a vigilant look.

As the strongest, the highest cultivation, and the most knowledgeable fourth-level soldier, the awareness of danger is also the strongest, as soon as the magic defense by the door is launched, the captain of the arrow team is beating wildly, sensing that they have fallen into a terrible trap, he immediately loosens the bowstring, gives up the intention of shooting the enemy, and at the same time gathers most of the strength of his body on his feet in an instant, ready to speed out of here.

However, as soon as he turned around and was about to speed up, a swarm of his subordinates rushed in front of him, carrying three sword and shield men, and large and thick shields stood in front of him, blocking his escape passage.

The situation has developed to this sinister point, it is useless to blame others or feel sorry for oneself, and it is impossible to escape from several layers of dense crowds, the captain of the arrow team immediately made a decision, dropped the bow and arrow, and his body leaned forward, and then squeezed through the gap between the two shields, and then stretched out his hands to the sides, and grabbed again, and he had firmly grasped the nearest city guards on his side, regardless of whether they were his direct subordinates, or Zyuganov specially left to protect the soldiers of the arrow team, the captain of the arrow team had a gloomy face, his arms were pulled, and then he pulled the two directly to the front of his body。

He used the bodies of his colleagues as shields!

As the captain of the arrow team expected, there were two sword and shield men with big shields in their hands behind him, and then smoothly pulled the two surprised city guard colleagues together to protect his body, and the captain of the arrow team then desperately released his fighting energy, releasing the amount of fighting energy to the maximum extent in an instant, doing everything possible to form a thick and dignified light shield, and at the same time curled up his tall body, like a turtle with a shrunken head.

In this way, in the blink of an eye, the captain of the arrow team had two lines of defense, one inside was his own fighting shield, and the outside was the "meat shield" defense line formed by the surrounding city guards.

Before he had time to curse his boss for being insidious, an earth-shattering explosion occurred in an instant, and nearly ten magic defenses from all directions were launched almost simultaneously, and various colorful spells formed a terrifying shock wave, targeting the middle of the mercenary hall.

The traditional view of the incompatibility of fire and water loses its original meaning here, and the water and fire spells are intertwined, seamlessly connecting to form a torrent of red and blue, spraying at the panicked city guard soldiers at high speed;

The wood-based spells were wrapped in earth-based spells, and the thick "rattan whips" that conjured up danced towards the soldiers who raised their shields to resist, and the stones that broke through the earth formed sharp cones, stabbing at the feet of the screaming city guards.

What made the city guards in the trap desperate the most was the lightning attack that came immediately after the above spells, accompanied by a deafening thunder sound, four bolts of lightning as thick as a bucket swayed dazzling light, crossed together to cover them with death, and the city guards who were hit were all scorched on the outside and yellow on the inside.

The screams instantly became one.

A sword and shield hand was whipped to his waist by the "rattan whip", and his thick body flew horizontally, and he vomited blood in the air, and after slamming into the wall, he didn't even struggle, and fell to the ground, motionless;

One of the archers screamed, and was sprayed in flames, and was immediately wrapped in flames, and kept screaming, and he danced his hands again and again, trying to beat the flames to extinguish the fire, but in an instant, he was stabbed in the throat by a sharp cone that appeared from the ground, and immediately took the account;

Another archer jumped and avoided the sharp cone at his feet, but before he could land, a blue cold air hit him from the side, and he was "blown" by the cold wind and instantly turned into an ice sculpture, and then a "rattan whip" whistled and whipped the ice sculpture, and the poor city guard shattered into a block of ice.

In all kinds of terrible and harsh sounds, all kinds of tragic deaths were staged at the same time, and the mercenary hall became a hell on earth.

Only the captain of the arrow team tried to stay awake, he neither panicked and ran, nor did he give up resistance helplessly, he knew very well that in the face of such a terrifying multi-spell combined attack, the more panicked, the faster he died, and since the enemy could arrange so many magic defenses so carefully, it was almost an impossible task to break out of the encirclement in a very short time after the magic defense was launched.

Therefore, the captain of the arrow team gritted his teeth, simply fell to the ground and curled up in a ball, relying on the "meat shield" standing around him and the earth-based fighting spirit that he had been training hard for many years to form a shield, praying that he could survive this killing.

I don't know if it's because of the cultivation of the earth-based fighting qi attribute, he was lucky enough to withstand the combined attack composed of the four spells of water, fire, wood and earth, especially the sharp cones that emerged from the ground, densely packed, large and small, long and short, nearly a hundred, penetrating the legs or bodies of many city guards, but none of them stabbed the captain of the arrow team who pretended to be a turtle, and every time he rubbed his body, it passed, absolutely thrilling.

However, how can the net of heaven and earth laid by Plitander be avoided by pretending to be a grandson?

After the thunder attack came, the luck of the captain of the "turtle" was finally exhausted, and he could only rely on his own cultivation to meet the baptism of thunder and lightning.

The powerful lightning struck back and forth, instantly splitting the fighting shield that the captain relied on to protect his body, causing smoke to continue to rise from his body, and he screamed again and again. By the time of the last thunderbolt, the captain of the arrow team was powerless and forcibly suffered the thunderbolt blow purely by his physical body.

The thunder of "boom" sounded, and the tall and thin body of the captain of the arrow team smashed off one pillar of the gate, and was directly slashed out of the mercenary hall by the thunder and lightning full of the powerful power of heaven and earth!

The lightning flickered, the masonry flew wildly, and the smoke and dust filled the air, and the soldiers of the city guard who were choking on the siege frowned and covered their mouths and noses, coughing loudly.

Before the captain of the Arrows team landed in mid-air, a pair of powerful hands caught him who was almost scorched, and he barely broke open his eyes with the pain all over his body, and a cold face with eight eyebrows and clear nasolabial folds came into his eyes, it was the commander of the city guards, their master Ivan Stipild.

At this moment, the Great Commander of Ivan, shrouded in smoke and dust, was covered in red light outside his armor, and liquid flames flowed up and down, dazzling with brilliance, it was his signature fire-based fighting robe!

Hearing Zyuganov's terrible and frantic roar, Ivan Stipild hesitated a little before finally making up his mind and personally went in to receive his deputy and his subordinates.

No matter how great the danger is, for him who has already sent the strongest combat force under his command, if he cares about his personal safety at this time, instead of going to assist and respond to his subordinates in time, and rescue the remaining elite of the city guard as much as possible, I am afraid that it will cause a great blow to the morale and morale of the army, and his own prestige will undoubtedly be severely frustrated, and the effect of giving orders in the future will be greatly reduced.

In view of this, coupled with some weighing and comparison, the commander of the city guard army felt that it was impossible for Normer and the others to have the strength beyond their own cultivation, so he jumped off the majestic war horse proudly, and as soon as his feet fell steadily, the fighting spirit was released, and the fiery red fighting spirit was like a flowing flame, slowly flowing around his tall and burly body, and the whole person was like a liquid condensed fire robe, dazzling, domineering, and his cold and mean face was also a lot more heroic.

The imposing appearance immediately won a round of applause and applause in the courtyard, and the eyes of the city guards who looked at Ivan Stipild showed undisguised envy and admiration, full of admiration.

A strong person is a strong person after all, no matter how violent he is on weekdays, as long as he has a strong enough strength to lay a foundation, he will have enough confidence to fly and dominate, and no matter how perverted his behavior is, he will be covered by the halo above his head.

Compared with the first-level to fifth-level soldiers, there is a clear difference in the appearance of the sixth-level cultivation that has entered the middle-level level, and the fighting spirit of the soldiers who have not broken through the middle-level level, even if it is the so-called peak of the fifth-level warriors closest to the intermediate level, limited by the total amount of fighting qi and the skills to control the fighting qi, they can only condense the outgoing fighting qi in some parts of the body, such as the face and chest, and form a shield with a certain special effect, but the shield formed by this fighting qi is quite limited in terms of thickness and durability of the blow, and once it exceeds its own bearing capacity, it will lose its effectiveness in a very short time, just like the captain of the arrow team, Antonov and Zyuganov and others.

For a sixth-level soldier like Ivan Stipild, his understanding of Dou Qi and the fluency of manipulation are completely different, and the total amount of Dou Qi is not the same.

For example, levels 1 to 5 are like a small step before advancing to the intermediate level, although each step is upward, the size of the steps is smaller, and the difference between each level is not too large. Once you step on the sixth step, it is like standing on a platform that is much wider than the steps, and there are no small steps to compare to the view and other aspects.

Starting from the middle level, the excreted Dou Qi can form a complete and elaborate circle of liquid-like protective soft armor outside the human body, or take on the appearance of an outer robe, this soft armor composed of "liquid" not only has a defense power far beyond the soft appearance, the ability to withstand and defuse attacks is much stronger, and at the same time, it can also change the general shape at any time according to the mind and manipulation of the body owner, supplementing or strengthening a sensitive or important part.

Whether or not it can form a soft armor that is enough to cover the whole body outside the body is the iconic difference between the appearance of middle-level fighters and low-level soldiers, which can be said to be clear at a glance.
