11. The Fierce Fight (I)
Link looked at the two riders who were running towards him with a lasso, and his heart sank, once he was caught by the other party's lasso and dragged on the sand, he and Niata would lose all their combat effectiveness and be slaughtered.
Although the situation was sinister, Link still remained calm and did not panic, "I and Niata just cooperated to quickly kill the wounded rider, and now the enemy should not know that we are mages, otherwise we should just release the arrows, and use the lasso to capture us alive to obtain information, it is not difficult for us to kill these two riders!"
"But the key is the two archers in the back! As long as I can quickly kill these two guys with lassoes, and then survive the first round of bow and arrow blows, Nyata and I will win, Niata's casting level and casting speed are far superior to mine, and the reasonable tactic is that I go forward to fight hand-to-hand to fight for Niata's casting time!"
As soon as Link thought this, the sound of Niata's muffled chanting spell rang in his ears, and it was clear that the two had come to the same conclusion.
The wide hooves of the desert light horse stirred up smoke and dust, and the sultry wind lifted the rider's tattered robe on horseback, revealing the black leather armor inside, and the rider opened his mouth to reveal a few yellow teeth, and his large rough hand waved the lasso in his hand vigorously, rubbing against the air and making a piercing sound.
Link picked up the axe from the ground, drew his scimitar and headed for it. The two approaching riders didn't care about Nyata, who was chanting, and in the eyes of the desert peoples, only men could fight.
The two riders quickly approached Link one after the other, their eyes fixed on the axes and scimitars in Link's hands, weapons that would undoubtedly cause serious damage to the rider if thrown at a high-speed rider.
Link has no experience in this kind of battle, although his heart is very calm, but limited by experience and physical conditions, he can only rely on his own instinct to fight, and at a time that he thinks is the most appropriate, Link slammed the scimitar in his hand at the rider in front, a trace of contempt flashed in the rider's eyes, and he could already see from Link's movements that Link was a complete amateur in combat.
The rider's legs clamped the horse's back, his waist straightened, and his raised right hand fell down vigorously, and the lasso in his hand was pulled horizontally towards the scimitar thrown by Link, which was already a little soft due to Link's lack of strength and the wrong angle, was suddenly drawn by the rider, and weakly crashed into the rider's chest protected by black leather armor, the high-speed impact made the rider snort, but then straightened his waist again, and the horse crossed Link, obviously no big problem.
The sound of horses' hooves came quickly, and in a blink of an eye, the first rider had crossed Link, but the second rider came quickly, and before Link threw out the throwing axe in his hand, the second rider's lasso came to Link with a breaking sound, Link hurriedly lowered his body to dodge, and threw the axe in his hand in the direction of memory, the flying axe swirled and threw into the air, the lasso failed to hit Link, but Link's right arm was grazed by the lasso, and his arm was numb, and the second rider also crossed Link.
The first rider crossed Link, took a slight look at his companion's situation, and then galloped towards Njata, the rider looked at Njata's body wrapped in a robe, and with a bit of greed in his eyes, licked his dry lips, and accelerated towards Njata, before the rider threw the lasso in his hand, Nyata waved both hands, and a faint light struck the rider.
The rider tightened the reins, stopped, and stared blankly at Njata's white face as she took off her turban, "Help me, he wants to catch me, I don't want to go with him." Niata said to the rider with tears in her eyes.
The rider looked at Nyata, then at his companion who was rushing towards Link again, dragging Link on the ground with a noose, and roared and rushed forward.
Niata quietly breathed a sigh of relief, and quickly followed, the first-level spell charms humans, and can be used on objects with low willpower, which can make the recipient think that the caster is his friend, and let the recipient serve the caster through verbal inducement.
The seductive rider rushed to his companion, drew his scimitar and slashed over, the companion was completely defenseless, caught off guard and raised his hand in gear, blood splashed, and the arm could not be lifted immediately, the companion was furious, and did not care about the rope noose in his hand, drew his knife and fought with the seducted rider, while shouting for help.
The remaining three were a little overwhelmed in the face of the current situation, and before they could react, Link broke free of the noose and stood up, only to feel the burning pain of the back being dragged away, sweat and blood stuck Link's clothes and back tightly, and there was a lot of sand and gravel when they were dragged away, regardless of the injury on the back, Link probably judged the form as soon as he stood up and began to cast the spell, and Niata also rushed over at this time to start casting the spell.
When the wounded rider was shouting for help, he suddenly felt a burst of dizziness, although he immediately woke up, but there were a few more wounds on his body, and he gradually lost his support when he saw that his companions in the distance did not come to the rescue, and suddenly retreated, and before he successfully forced the opponent to find a chance to escape, he was horrified to see a few shiny balls of light in the hands of the girl on the side, and flew over by himself, and the wounded rider watched helplessly as the balls of light sank into his chest, emitting a burst of scorching smell, and then the charming rider cut off his neck, and he fell off the horse with a crooked body。
Link's stun technique, Niata's magic missile, kill the other party, and the dead rider's mount gently touched its master with its nose, and the scene was silent for a while.
The leader on horseback roared hoarsely, he wore a heavy piece of chain mail and a tapered skullcap of dull color, a pair of dark and narrow brown eyes, a thick black beard under a flat nose, and some food residues remained on the beard.
Seeing the glowing ball of light in the girl's hand, the leader immediately understood why the two of them were fighting just now, damn magic, although he is not ignorant of magic, but the fear and discrimination of the desert people against magic still failed to make them understand the situation in time, so that now his side is in a disadvantageous situation.
The leader cautiously did not choose to fight on his horse, but ordered two dismounted men armed with bows to release arrows and concentrate on attacking the girl.
Two arrows shot at Niata one after another, Niata calmly ignored the flying bow and arrows, plucked out one of his eyelashes and began to cast a spell, an arrow flew in front of Niata, suddenly stopped in the air, and fell to the ground after a few fluctuations in the air unwillingly, a layer of translucent film can be faintly seen around Niata, the second-level spell protection arrow, which can protect against most ranged weapon attacks before the energy is exhausted, Niata cast this spell on herself before the battle.
The other arrow did not reach Niata's body, but fell to the ground on its own, and the leader was furious when he saw this: "Finally, I will tell you again, heavy arrows are used for flat shooting, and light arrows are used for projectiles!" These two subordinates have only recently been naturalized from the defeated tribes, and they are still a little uncomfortable with the new equipment because they are used to using bone bows and arrows.
The scolded archer winced and switched to the correct arrow and continued to shoot, at this time Niata's spell using her own eyelashes as the casting material had been completed, and suddenly disappeared in front of everyone's eyes, the second-level spell stealth.
Link looked at the archer who was shooting, lowered his body and cautiously rushed towards the other party, the other party was behind Niata's invisibility, briefly panicked, and began to shoot at other targets, Link looked down and dodged an arrow to his head, the sound of the sharp weapon crossing his ears buzzed in Link's ears, Link felt a little frightened, he didn't have a protective arrow This spell can be used, the casting material of this spell, the entire turtle shell can't be replenished in the desert area, Niata only has the last one left by her teacher, and she can only use it for herself。
"Ahh
Link was about thirty meters away from the other party, and rushed forward with no cover and other targets in between, although the two archers were a little anxious about the vanished Niata, but when they saw Link alone, the corners of their mouths showed a cruel smile, let the screams and blood of the enemy calm our emotions.
Link slammed to the ground, and just as the archer raised his bow and was about to throw Link at the back, three ownerless horses rushed forward, and several bright balls of magic light shot out from the unmanned horses, shooting straight at the leader, and then Njata's figure suddenly appeared on the back of the originally empty horse, and Njata appeared!
