Chapter 137: Breakthrough
When Luo Sheng and Monroe were fighting fiercely, the battle situation on Baron Cook's side of the North Continent had also reached a critical moment. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
Theoretically, Baron Cook was besieged by three paladins, a gold-level priest, and a Earl Newman, whose strength was not much inferior to himself, and he should soon be unable to hold it and be besieged on the spot.
But the reality is that Baron Cook is still alive and well at this time. Although there are a few more glaring scars on his body, he is not completely inferior on the scene. A spear is like a dragon, not only stopping most of the enemy's attacks, but also sometimes launching counterattacks.
The reason for this situation is that in addition to the fact that Baron Cook himself is strong, well-equipped, and has a balanced range of attributes, and has no obvious weaknesses, there is also an important reason that the people besieging Baron Cook cannot really cooperate seamlessly. Elston and the three paladins were in a slightly better situation, after all, they came from the same system, and they cooperated with each other quite well. However, Earl Newman, under the command of the second prince, has little tacit understanding with the four people of the Holy See of Light, and sometimes even a little out of place.
In this case, although he was besieged by five people, in fact, Baron Cook needed to deal with it, generally only on the side of the Holy See of Light, or Earl Newman alone, and sometimes he could even take advantage of the strangeness of both sides to wander between the crowd and use his strength. So the two sides fought for a long time, and Baron Cook was still able to hold on.
However, although Baron Cook was barely able to hold on to the scene, little by little the situation was moving in his direction. With Elston, a gold-level priest, even if Baron Cook can injure an enemy, as long as he can't inflict heavy damage, Elston can immediately use healing spells to restore the wounded, and in a matter of moments, he can regain his combat strength. Once Baron Cook is injured, he can only rely on his own vindictiveness to suppress it, although he can still support it in the short term, but in the long run, there will definitely be big problems.
In fact, the situation faced by Baron Cook is not much different from the trap faced by Monroe. They are all trapped within an enchantment range, and then they are constantly consumed by various means. The enemy, on the other hand, uses various means to constantly restore its own consumption and maintain a strong combat power. After a long time, the trapped people's strength is too much consumed, and the battle is over.
In fact, this kind of attrition trap is the most commonly used method when dealing with the top masters of the gold rank. After all, the explosive power of the gold-level master is amazing, the mobility and continuous combat ability are very amazing, without any arrangement, directly engage in field combat, unless the strength gap between the two sides is huge, and one side does not have time to escape, otherwise even if it can defeat the other party, it is difficult to really kill.
And after the siege of the enchantment, although it can't completely block the escape of the gold-level masters, it can play a fairly strong blocking role. At this time, as long as there is a fairly strong opponent in the barrier, it is almost impossible for the trapped to escape. After all, it takes a lot of strength and some time to break the barrier, and the besiegers won't give the besieged that kind of opportunity.
In this case, either the besieged person is like Monroe, fighting to the death with the besieger, and after defeating the besieger, he wants to break through and escape. Or fight for one or two rounds of attacks from the besiegers, risk attacking the enchantment, and bet on whether you can escape. And no matter which method is chosen, the chances of success are not high, and most of the time the result is the same as Monroe, and he is finally boiled to death in the trap.
"Sure enough, it's a desperate trap! I'm afraid it won't work if you don't work hard!" When he fought for a while, he found that he had never been able to break through the enemy's blockade, and the injuries in his body began to ache faintly, a trace of helplessness flashed on Baron Cook's face, and then his expression became resolute. In the next moment, a pale golden flame ignited from Baron Cook's body, fused into the Dou Qi, dyeing his own crimson Dou Qi with a trace of gold, and the aura that was already close to the peak of the Golden Rank was raised to another level.
There is actually no good way to deal with this kind of attrition trap. Either it is to get rid of the enemy's recovery power, and then rely on your own deep background to fight with the opponent. Either that, it bursts out with the strongest force, suppresses the enemy, and looks for an opportunity to break through. Through the previous battle, Baron Cook has determined that even if he shoots with all his strength, he will not be able to break through the enemy's encirclement, and will only be consumed alive by the enemy in the end.
At the moment when the source of the fighting spirit ignited, the spear in Baron Cook's hand was thrown violently, shooting at Elston, who was cross-covered by three paladins, and at the same time, he accelerated violently and rushed towards Earl Newman on the other side. After slapping away Newman's longsword with his right hand, he clenched his left hand into a fist and slammed it into Earl Newman's chest.
Although theoretically speaking, it is the best choice to deal with this kind of expendable lineup and kill the enemy's recovery power, that is, the gold-level priest Elston, Baron Cook knows very well in his heart that Elston, the archbishop of the Turin Sect, is not so easy to kill. This kind of gold-level priest is not only guarded by a paladin, but also has a variety of defensive spells to protect himself, and there are many means to save his life. Even if you go head-to-head, it will take a long time for you to exhaust the opponent's defenses. So instead of bothering to attack Elston, it is better to seek a breakthrough from Earl Newman, who is out of step with the Holy Court of Light.
And the development of the battle situation is indeed as Baron Cook expected, although in the state of igniting the source of fighting energy, the power of the flaming fangs thrown with heroic throwing is amazing, almost beyond the limit of the golden level, but under the joint interception of the three paladins, most of the strength has been consumed when it flies to Elston's side, and in the end, it has not been able to penetrate the mantra shield on Elston's body and really hurt the archbishop.
However, compared to Elston, who was almost unscathed, the situation of the Earl of Newman was much more miserable. Although his own strength is quite good, not much weaker than the previous Baron Cook, but Baron Cook now not only has the various equipment bonuses provided by the Nine Rings White Tower, but also ignites the source of fighting energy, raising the peak of his strength by a cut, so the strength of the two sides has opened up the gap. Even without the Flaming Fang in his hand, Earl Newman did not block Baron Cook's onslaught, and was finally hit by a punch, spitting blood from his mouth and retreating.
"Do you finally know that you are at the end of your rope and start working hard?" Although he saw Baron Cook injure Earl Newman with a punch and tear a hole in the encirclement, Elston did not look panicked, but instead showed a smile on the corner of his mouth.
Although Baron Cook is amazing at the moment and looks unstoppable, anyone with a discerning eye knows that this is the last stand. If he can't break through during this time when the source of the burning fighting spirit is burning, Baron Cook will have only a dead end.
"Holy Word Punishment!" Seeing that Baron Cook was about to rush out of Earl Newman's side, Elston raised the staff in his hand, and a pure white light flashed and landed on Baron Cook. Even though Baron Cook had gathered his fighting energy and tried to resist the blow, he was still burned by the white light, his mind was dizzy, and his body stopped suddenly.
As an important attack spell for the Priest, Divine Word Punishment can not only deal powerful Light attribute damage to enemies, but also directly attack the enemy's soul and spirit. Even if Baron Cook ignited the source of his fighting qi and his strength had reached the peak of the Golden Rank, he would still not be immune to this kind of damage. Although he was not completely unconscious, he also fell into a trance and was forced to stop breaking through. Baron Cook's best chance to escape was cut off by a spell from Elston, and even he was in crisis.
However, Baron Cook is not an ordinary person after all, although the soul attack brought by the Holy Word Technique and Punishment is strong, but Baron Cook's will is also as strong as steel, and after a moment of dizziness, Baron Cook has regained his consciousness, retracted the flaming fangs, and blocked the sledgehammer of Myron, the leader of the Paladins of Light. Then the spear danced, and Myron was in battle.
At this time, although Earl Newman had taken advantage of Baron Cook's dizziness to regain his position and force out the flame fighting energy in his body, he did not rush forward to besiege Baron Cook again, but silently guarded his position and watched the battle in the field.
In the previous battle, Newman had done his best, and half of the scars on Baron Cook's body were caused by Newman when he rescued the paladin. But when Earl Newman was attacked by Baron Cook, the Holy See of Light was not very active, and always waited until Newman was injured and was about to be unable to support it, before attacking Baron Cook, and the healing skills rarely fell on Newman, and the intention of driving the tiger and devouring the wolf was almost obvious.
So after suffering a few losses, Newman has stopped actively shooting, except for holding his own side and preventing Baron Cook from breaking through, he is just sweeping the formation on the sidelines at other times.
Elston and others were also unimpressed by Newman's move. Previously, Baron Cook had always pressed the killing moves, and Myron and the others also needed to use Newman to attract firepower. Now that Baron Cook has ignited the source of his fighting spirit, his hole cards have been exhausted, and the most ferocious round of attacks has been endured by Newman, and then Myron and the three are confident that they can stop Baron Cook.
And in fact, Myron and the three of them are indeed not arrogant, after Baron Cook burned the source of his fighting energy, the three of them also opened a three-in-one knight battle array, and the bright fighting spirit was connected together, and they directly climbed to the peak of the golden rank, which was not inferior to Baron Cook in any way. In addition, the three of them joined forces to attack and defend in turn, and for a while, they faintly suppressed Baron Cook, who had the strongest combat power, to the upper hand.
"Mind control!" At the same time, Elston, who was covered by Myron and the others, also completed his preparations, and the staff in his hand was raised again, and a faint black light connected Elston and Baron Cook, and then the two stopped their movements at the same time and froze in place. At the same time, Myron, who had been prepared, raised the sledgehammer without hesitation, condensed his whole body's fighting energy, and smashed it heavily into Baron Cook.
But just when Myron thought he was about to complete the kill, Baron Cook's originally dull face showed a mocking smile, and then his figure flashed to avoid Myron's inevitable blow, and then stabbed the golden-red flaming fangs into Myron's body, and then fought hard to take a hard blow from the other two paladins, burst out of vindictiveness, and rushed out of Myron's corpse.
"In the end, I'm going to make a move!" But just as Baron Cook broke through the encirclement, broke the barrier, and was about to leave, a familiar voice sounded in his ears, and then a vast and pure light enveloped his body, freezing him in place.
"Michelle!
