Chapter 150: The Soul Under the City Gate (3)
『Chapter error, click here to report』
The sudden arrival of reinforcements injected some vitality into the almost exhausted city gate guards, but it was only fleeting, because although not everyone had the same eyesight as the sentinels in charge of reconnaissance, the only men and horses who could easily be identified from the terrain of this horse and river were only a few horses.
Even if an arrow in the air can knock down a few, but so many living corpses still need to be killed several times to be effective, and it only slightly slows down the demise of themselves and others.
But after only a few moments, they didn't think that way anymore, because the man was a little too strong!
The leader was not a cavalryman who was good at using swords and guns, but a lightly dressed ranger, and judging from the longbow in his hand, the arrow that had just saved his life came from him, and he was also pervertedly continuing to fire at the moment.
That's right! In addition to the pervert, he really can't find a second word to describe his archery speed, reaching out and pulling out the feather arrows from the two pots of quivers crossed behind him, and without hesitation, he goes around the front from the ear, takes the bow, opens the bow, lets go, and then reciprocates again, without pause in one go, the speed is so fast that the distance between the two arrows before and after is not even the length of an arrow shaft, not to mention that there is no false hair, the arrow hits the head directly, try to ask who is a pervert if this is not called a pervert!
When the number of fallen corpses increased to dozens in an instant, everyone's mood had already begun to change, perhaps...... Really saved!
Therefore, when the leading horse that had run to the distance was suddenly bitten by the corpse bones on the ground and fell in pain, everyone's hearts seemed to be grasped by an invisible hand.
But the reason why the pervert is called a pervert and how can it be an existence that will simply be knocked down, only to see the rider with the bow jumping up before falling from the horse, and the bow in his hand still maintains a fast opening and closing when jumping over the horse's head, and no less than five arrows are sent out in the air alone, and after rolling forward to the ground and unloading the force of the forward rush, it has already entered the battle group of guards and corpses.
According to normal experience, a unit in charge of long-range combat will only be abused if it falls into the melee pile, although the guards present are full of criticism for why the archers have to rush into the crowd, but after all, the other party has rushed to the rescue and killed a lot of enemies for them, and now they have to desperately protect it. It's just that this 'wonderful' archer continues to subvert their definition of a ranged strike class.
The average archer does need to keep enough distance from the target to open the bow, that is, to ensure the speed of the arrow's flight is also for the safety of the archer, but the reality in front of him tells everyone a truth, as long as the hand is fast and stable enough, it is also feasible to open the bow and arrow before the target attacks you, although the slow movement between the warbands is not called a leisurely stroll, but it is much better than the struggle of everyone just now! Moreover, this person is not completely devoid of melee ability, and he really can't just swing the longbow in his hand, because of the previous amazing archery skills, it is easy to be overlooked, and the sharp blades placed at the ends of the bow tip begin to work.
As for the other cavalry reinforcements approaching after him, since they were always armed with melee weapons, they had entered the flock like a pack of jackals since they dismounted and joined the footstand.
The twin knives danced so fast that the afterimage was hard to find, the big sword slashed and brought out the momentum of opening the mountain and breaking the ground, the spear was swung like a silver dragon, and the calm and tough expression on his face alone was as if he was not facing some strange and evil monster.
"What is the origin of these people, is there such a person in our army?" the same thought rose in the hearts of the guards.
If the strength shown by these people is the category of professionals, then it is far from being so amazing, because God is never fair, the talent is different, the huge gap between professionals and non-professionals is like a chasm, it can only make people a little amazed after envying the fish in the abyss and not being able to do it, but although the performance of the people in front of them is amazing, it is not out of the category of physical strength and technical skills, just like the delicacies within reach will make people salivate, for the strength shown by these reinforcements in addition to amazement is often mixed with envy and excitement, of course, there may be a trace of inexplicable jealousy and inferiority, but in any case, it makes these hob meat who don't get oil and salt in the ordinary oil and salt ponder over and over again.
As for whether anyone will collect clues from the people they know in their ordinary lives, is it really possible that these people are from within the town defenders? What are you kidding, if such talents are idle enough to support the rear, can the battle situation on the front line still need to be so tight!
At the same time, Duke, who finally got a chance to breathe, was a little embarrassed, because he was the only one among the soldiers present who recognized the origin of these people, and he had fought with them not long ago.
Regardless of the fever or discoloration on Duke's face, the scene was quickly brought under control until all the living corpses lost their ability to move, and several reinforcements stood still and looked around to announce that the crisis was temporarily resolved.
Since the scene is no longer chaotic, everyone can take a closer look at the true appearance of these reinforcements who have sent charcoal in the snow, and everyone is once again amazed at the youthfulness of these people, and under the tenacious and resolute temperament, there are childish faces, and the hairy green beard on the lips is also a good proof of this.
At this moment, Wesley, as the leading general, had to come forward, so he frowned slightly and stepped forward to greet the visitor.
"Thank you for your help, I'm Wesley, the former gate of Nuremfen, a few ...... Can a brother tell him about his origin and position? ”
Although the other party was wearing the military uniform of the Empire, Wesley did not dare to make a hasty judgment on the identity of the other party, because he had just discovered that the reason why he was able to destroy these refugee corpses so quickly was that in addition to the excellent martial arts of these people, the most important thing was that the corpses that were knocked down by them never returned to their activities again. And this is all thanks to the weapons used by the other party, the wounds caused by them will quickly expand several times on the corpse and form scorch marks as if they were burned, and some of the corpses and parts that look weaker are directly charred by the ashes, even if he has not seen the effect of the divine attribute exorcism, he can guess one or two, so he can use a cherished weapon with attributes, and it is a holy attribute as rare as undead magic, how can the identity of these people be simple.
"Chief Wesley doesn't need to be polite, fellow Imperial soldiers should naturally watch and help each other. The four of us are all apprentices and personal guards serving His Majesty the King, and this time escorting His Majesty has been patrolling the western front all the way, because a few days ago, Mr. Xiao, the special staff officer accompanying His Majesty, noticed that someone was trying to invade the city of Nurenfen, which was the base camp in the rear, so he led us to come to the aid immediately, and fortunately arrived in time!"
"Timely! Timely! There is nothing more timely than this! At this moment, there are some living corpses that have just taken the opportunity to pour into the city, so please forgive me for being rude for the time being, and I will greet you again when this trouble is solved first. ”
With that, Wesley prepared to turn around and call Duke to contact his companions at the city gate to reset the emergency barrier so that he could return to the city to check on the situation. Now that the other party has identified himself, he can handle affairs with confidence, because unlike Duke's cynicism, as an officer of a certain rank, he can see the military bureaucracy that has been criticized more objectively. Moreover, although he was a close minister of the Son of Heaven and was well treated, in fact, the rank of the palace guard was not high, so he naturally did not have to worry about the other party taking the opportunity to make trouble because of negligence.
"If that's the case, I think you can rest easy, sir, our other team has already entered the city through the side gate in advance, and it should be almost finished patrolling the inner city at this time. Regardless of whether it was these miscellaneous fish that we had just entered from the city or not, his strength should be enough to deal with it. ”
The archer who had just shown bravery opened his mouth at this moment, and continued to break the news without waiting for Wesley to react:
"Besides, even if he can't do it, the team leader around him is a lot more powerful than him, and he will definitely be able to turn evil into good fortune!"
Although he did not name names, Duke, who was in attendance, had already sketched a face in his mind.
