Chapter 32: The Contest (5)
Genius remembers in a second [Aishang Novel Network biquge.info] to provide you with wonderful novels to read.
As Calenda's order was given, the people in the arena began to move, without slogans and gestures, as orderly as if they were well-trained regular troops. In comparison, last night's mercenaries were nothing short of a rabble.
"I knew it was going to be like this...... Wilfredo muttered to himself, and the black marketeer Helini offered to help. In a confined space like an arena, once you encounter a siege, there is basically no way out. If there are no children of nature in the team this time, it will definitely be the rhythm of group annihilation.
Glancing at Link, who still used the bargain dagger as a weapon, Wilfredo slandered, if it weren't for his help, let alone now, even last night wouldn't have survived.
Wengers didn't talk nonsense either, reciting the incantation quickly and urgently. Tenacity, brute strength, agility...... One by one, the buff spells are overlaid on the companion.
Standing at the front with a shield in one hand and a hammer in the other, Campano was the shortest in height and had the highest defense in the team.
Without Link's command, Asa had quietly disappeared into the shadows of the ground.
Doyle and the left and the right protected the most vulnerable mages in the middle, and the group stood against the wall, and Link stood alone outside in a dual-wielding posture, and his detachment naturally became the target of many attacks. Before the melee class gets closer, the ranged arrows attack first. The crunch of metal clashes was incessant, and Wengers, who had the worst eyesight, felt a flash in front of his eyes, and Link struck the dense number of arrows to the ground with a short sword made of ordinary iron ore.
Glancing at Wilfredo who turned back, both of them breathed a sigh of relief, originally they were still worried that Link didn't want to reveal his identity, but now it seems. Even if you don't use magic skills, you can deal with it with your strong physique alone.
After the arrows that lead the way. The first to arrive was a large man with a huge axe, a man-tall axe in his hand like a child's toy, dancing whirringly.
Confident in his own strength, Link is not confident in the weapons he has in his hands. If you hit it hard, the collapse is still secondary, and you are afraid that you will not be able to withstand the brute force of the other party.
With a kick of both feet, the whole person jumped up and jumped behind the big man. Turn the blade and hit the enemy in the knee with a wide blade. As one of the most fragile parts of the human body, once injured, it immediately loses its combat effectiveness.
The big man screamed and fell to the ground, and the giant axe in his hand was taken out of his hand, and flew towards Wilfredo and the others not far away. Link didn't defend, and turned to meet the Assassin who had lurked behind him by taking advantage of his attack.
Dingββ
The dagger stabbed from behind the dagger. The blow missed, and the Assassin sneaked again. It's a pity that Link has a degree no less than his, grabbing to scratch his thigh before his figure disappears completely. Blood is drenched on the ground and cannot be effectively sneaked until the bleeding has stopped. Having lost his greatest advantage, the Assassin retreated sharply, giving up the position of the attack to the others.
Turning his head to look behind him. The axe has already been shot down by Doyle. Link turned his attention back to the fact that this time the enemy was a defensive warrior who was just as offensive and defensive as Campano, with knights and longbowed archers armed with spears on the left and right. Further periphery, there is also a group of mercenaries waiting for an opportunity, which shows that Link is not weak. They didn't rush into a group attack.
The pace of the offense stalled as a result, and Link didn't take the initiative. The two groups of people, who were very different in number, were silent.
"It's the group of people last night......" In the crowd, I don't know who said it, and the mercenary who was originally silent immediately exploded.
"The gang that drove out the high-level demons?"
"What is the drive? It's clearly a one-sided massacre!"
"Just kidding, even the high-level demons are no match for them, how can we win. β
The mercenary's comments upset Calenda in the audience, who hated the uncontrollable situation.
"What are you fooling about? Forget the rules of the arena? There are no draws and handshakes, only the victors will survive. β
The crowd was silent again, and the law of the jungle was the only law of the Blood Arena. They have no second way to go except fighting.
Wilfredo took a deep breath and came, this time it was the real fight to the death......
Unlike the previous tentative attacks, the mercenaries split into two groups, one group surrounded Link, and the other group bypassed him and headed straight for the five-man team behind him.
"Don't let the water go!" Wilfredo yelled at Link, "these people are outlaws, and they won't let you go just because your men show mercy!"
As soon as the words fell, there was a muffled 'boom' around her, and Doyle swung her two-handed sword to knock away several mercenaries who had deceived her into women, and the flames attached to the demon force turned these lucky guys into burning pieces of meat.
Seeing that the right side was not pleased, the mercenaries attacked the left side guarded by Vilfredo, but the Campano at the front was the least pressed, and the defense of the shield dwarves was notoriously impregnable, and almost no one would choose to break through head-on.
The dwarf's shadow suddenly twisted, a pool of bright red blood emerged from the ground, and then a disemboweled corpse suddenly appeared at Campano's feet. The Shadow Thief who had eliminated an Assassin in the shadows took shape and kicked the dead Assassin away.
Receiving a grateful glance from the dwarf, Asa sneaked again. Because he was traveling with Link, Malik also gave special care and secretly warned the Shadow Thief so that he could take out the Master Assassin who was higher than his own.
WhewβA large flaming fireball fell on his head, and the barrier that Wengers had laid out was immediately broken, and before he could make up for it, several arrows followed, and Wilfredo swept with his spear, blocking most of them, and one still hit the mage's shoulder.
Wengers couldn't help but whisper, "It's the Demon Breaking Arrow!"
The magic poured out with the wound, and it wasn't long before he became a waste man who only dragged down his companions.
Doyle frantically informs Mage Link that he has been hit by the Demon Breaker.
Demon Breaker?
Link's eyes froze, and the warrior on the opposite side caught a rare flaw, and raising a shield was a warrior's unique charging skill.
"Bang!!"
With this muffled sound, Link was knocked out, and the solid stone wall was smashed through a large hole.
The warrior who won the first blow did not have the slightest joy, and the expression on his face became more solemn. At the moment of impact, he had a strange feeling, as if he had hit not a human, but a much larger beast.
The smoke cleared, and Link emerged from the broken wall, his clothes turned into strips of cloth due to friction, revealing muscles that were not strong at all, not to mention injured, not even the skin was scratched.
The mercenaries gasped, and at this size, they were still unharmed? Is that guy a monster?
Pulling out the arrow, Wengers wrapped the bleeding bandage he carried around his shoulder, trying to cast a few more spells before his magic was completely exhausted.
"I just wanted to hone my skills, not to take your life. The twin swords had cracked several times, and they could no longer be used, Link casually threw them away, picking up the first large weapon he had hit, and the giant axe, which was about the same height as a wooden stick, was carried in one hand like a stick.
This action makes the mercenary even more desperate, believing that he is not human.
"Kill, you shit!" Calenda cried out in frustration.
The axe came out of his hand and slammed into the audience, and Calenda fell off guard along with the cracked rubble, and the guards behind him didn't even have time to catch a handful, only to watch as Calenda fell into the arena.
This turn of events completely brought the fighting to a halt in the field.
Link pulled out the wooden longbow from the dimensional pouch, and Karenda scrambled to his feet, but before he could pull out the teleportation scroll, the palm of his hand was pierced by an arrow.
"I'm more confident in my shooting skills than in hand-to-hand combat. Link unhurriedly hitched on the second arrow, threatening as it spoke.
Calenda endured the sharp pain of ten fingers and squinted at Link, "What do you want?"
"Freedom of Wilfredo and Campano. Link leaned over step by step, and the mercenaries along the way all made way for him. If there is a turnaround, they don't want to continue to fight with such an opponent who has no chance of winning.
With a whoosh, a dark arrow shot from the crowd and struck Link in the back.
Wengers couldn't help but shout carefully, and with a muffled sound, the arrow hit the target, but it failed to penetrate, as if it had hit a hard stone, until it fell to the ground with a soft sound, Link turned around, first glanced at the arrow on the ground, and then cast his eyes in the direction of the arrow.
"Without the stealth skills of the God of Shadows, the Night Elves are left with agility as a natural advantage. β
The mercenaries were in an uproar, there were actually night elves among them?
The night elves have lived underground for a long time, rarely go to the surface activities, and Nanyanzhou is the territory of the orcs, especially after the fall of Longyan Fort, the relationship between the orcs and the night elves has dropped to the freezing point, and the arena has never been set foot by the night elves.
As early as the appearance of the Demon Breaker Arrow, Link suspected that the mercenaries were mixed with the Night Elves. There are very few magic shooters in humans, but they abound among elves, and whether they are good or evil, elves who are magical creatures have the qualifications to become magic marksmen. The sneak attack of the second arrow made Link sure that the magic archer was an elf and not a human, and the arrow had an obvious dark power attached to it, but unfortunately it failed to penetrate the tough skin of the human shell.
"Ahh
Calenda's screams silenced the mercenary's whispers, and he tried to take advantage of Link's chance to turn back and escape, and his other hand was also shot.
Link put the third arrow on the bowstring, "Next time I'll aim at your head." β
"No...... I'm not going to play tricks anymore......" Calenda held up her bloody hands in surrender,
Link stepped forward again, this time without any hindrance, and walked to Calenda's side. Searched his whole body and took all the magic items and scrolls, "Where's the contract?"
Calenda cried with a sad face, "There are hundreds of mercenaries in this town, how can I bring all the contracts with me." β
"Then take us to fetch it. Link single-handedly picked up Karenda, who was half a head shorter than him, and as if remembering something, he looked back at the others, "We have no objection to winning, right?"
The mercenaries looked at each other, they all did this, who would dare to have an opinion?
ps:ps: I've tried my best in the battle scenes, but the level is limited, and I can't write a refreshing feeling. In addition, there seems to be too much dialogue in the recent chapters, and I am ready to cut some meaningless scenes.
