Chapter 157: The Sacrifice of Dry Bones (I)
Jeff and Xiao Yi didn't stay too long after appearing on the city wall, and after Xiao Yi spoke, they jumped down from the city wall, and Jeff, who was already a seventh-order swordsman, naturally didn't think it was a big problem to jump down to a height of about ten meters, even Xiao Yi himself had a variety of ways to do this, but with Jeff taking the initiative to support his waist with one hand, he was naturally happy to save trouble.
Jeff and his four fellow trainees were attacked on the way by Vincent to exterminate the bandits in Ruydal Village, during which they missed a great opportunity to watch Xiao Yi and Yuliana fight, and then although they heard their companions relay the scene at the time, their intuitive impression of Xiao Yi was still focused on the identity of an outstanding alchemist, and Duke was deflated in front of Xiao Yi because of the conflict before, and then naturally paid more attention to it, but it was only hearsay.
It's just that this doesn't prevent them from thinking of Xiao Yi as a timely rain at all, and they themselves don't know where this trust and expectation comes from, they just feel that having such a person by their side is very reassuring!
Walking into the battlefield with solid steps, the appearance of Xiao Yi and Jeff temporarily calmed the scene?
Not really!
Because the black knight and necromancer, who had just stopped moving, attacked without warning, and the spear and the skeletal spear that shot in front of him with the momentum of thunder were extremely dangerous, compared to the previous attack.
Compared with the attack of the four people just now, it was obviously more powerful, and everyone was shocked that they had even hidden their strength! Or there was no need to take a serious attack at all! In either case, everyone was worried about Xiao Yi and Jeff.
Between Jeff took the initiative to rush forward in the face of the attack of the man and horse, the big sword in his hand was picked up, and the weapon was concussed and bounced under the tough collision, and the air between the two seemed to be broken by the explosion, and the naked eye could almost see the trajectory of the impact scattering, which showed how huge the power of the two sides in this hit was, and the skeleton war horse under the black knight's crotch was directly shattered into a pile of white bone fragments on the spot.
The two of them did not pause because of this change, the sharp weapons in their hands waved again and again, the sound of jingling was endless, the heavy soldiers made of steel were as light as they were lifting in their hands, and the sparks from the friction sputtered out the trajectory of each collision, and finally the wrestling force in the frontal blow temporarily stopped the action, and the dense bone spear also flew from the side of Xiao Yi who went straight to the rear.
With a flip of his wrist and holding a badge shining with a faint halo in his hand, a golden shield composed of phantoms appeared out of thin air in front of Xiao Yi's body, and after meeting the bone spear, it blocked the bone spear one by one like a physical barrier, and the attack that had made the heavy sword soldier miserable before was now like a joke and the pebble was bounced to the ground. At the same time, Jeff shouted and pushed the black knight away from his side, and at the same time took the opportunity to retreat to Xiao Yi's side, although he wanted to see how his companion's injuries were, but it was obviously more important to deal with the enemy in front of him.
Without the pressure to attack, the four Praetorian Guards who had been defeated before reluctantly retreated to their own side with the help of the city guards.
"Does it matter?"
"I'm still not dead, but if you don't come again, I can't tell!"
"Well, we'll take care of the rest!"
Jeff looked at Philip the archer, and after a brief exchange, he received a slight bow in response and looked intently at the enemy's figure.
"As a mage, you are really shameless to attack directly like a rude barbarian, without even saying hello!" Xiao Yi said sarcastically to Bi Rogeri after standing still.
"Hey, hey, hey, as a necromancer, I've long been aware of being regarded as a heretic, so what's the point of being a vain. Besides, disturbing other people's good deeds is not necessarily polite behavior, and the pet breath I put in the city is all gone, so it must be a good thing you did!"
"What's the matter, do you have any grievances?"
"Don't get me wrong! It doesn't matter how many low-level pets consume, and how can I hang a big fish like you if I don't pay some bait, since I am publicly present, I will inevitably leave a legendary fame and footprint on the mainland, and how can the opponent be too weak to bring out my strength, so it is only fitting to have a strong person like you to make me step to the top, what else do you say I can not be satisfied with!" Birogri's pale face showed an expression other than lifeless for the first time.
"That's embarrassing, I'm just an alchemist with little combat power, and I don't have any ability to win, and I don't like to be someone else's step, if you accidentally get cleaned up by me, then it's a tragedy!"
"Okay, let's make a good fight, and see who is the tragedy!"
"I'll go, do you want to have a good face, just use a few little dolls to say that you want to fight with me, if you are sick!" Xiao Yi pouted.
"Then what are you going to do, if your doll is also fighting a little bit just now, I will naturally take it seriously......"
"What a fool's errand, don't compare a good warrior to that pile of rotten bones you conjured! Jeff, go and block it for a while!"
As soon as the words fell, the sturdy figure beside him had already flown away and fought with the black knight just now.
"Stubborn, wait until your little minions are disposed of and see if you will be so hypocritical!" Birogri sneered substantially, and it could be seen that he was indeed angered by Xiao Yi's attitude.
But Xiao Yi no longer paid attention to the other party, and instead turned to the four Phillips, who had just regained some strength.
Seeing Xiao Yi who turned around and came forward, the four apprentice guards led by the archers lowered their heads tiredly, although they knew that they were not as good as Jeff, who had already advanced to the seventh order, but they were all partners who worked hard together, but now there was such a big gap. Looking at Jeff in the distance, who was doing his best, a sense of loss arose.
Moreover, they were assigned by Xiao Yi to the position of the main gate to meet the enemy before, they did not feel that they would be incapable of facing the mastermind behind the scenes, on the contrary, they enjoyed the feeling of becoming a key person to save people from fire and water, but this feeling only lasted for a short period of time and was replaced by the frustration in the face of a strong enemy.
Desperate but almost unable to complete the entrusted task, the last thing they need now is comfort and pity, even a scolding can relieve the loss in their hearts, but with the understanding that they and Xiao Yi have been together for a while, they probably won't do this, and kindness can't make their shame disappear, but who let them lose!
What appeared in front of me was a few bottles of potion.
"Do you still have the strength?"
Looking at Xiao Yi's soft and determined eyes, Philip was only surprised for a moment before taking the potion and drinking it all, feeling the vitality restored in his body, and replied loudly:
"Bet on the reputation of the palace guards, and we will obey orders at any time!"
