Chapter 80: Quest's Gift
In the confrontation between the two armies, the real masters will not fly up and down as some people imagine, and there will be no so-called "fighting spirit" of "biubiubiu" with swords pouring out.
The rigorous training to become a paladin gave Jensen a sturdy physique and solid martial arts, and even on the bloody battlefield where demons danced, this powerful warrior was so dazzling. Although it does not have the exaggerated rendering of Wumao's special effects, its simple action of killing demons at a glance makes people feel that this is a model of violent aesthetics.
A broad-bladed short sword quenched with broken silver, and an iron shield inlaid with silver shavings, transformed decay into magic in the hands of this efficient demonic terminator. It is truly amazing that a human being with such an improvised weapon can face a horde of Tanari demons without falling behind at all.
"What a warrior!"
The blue dragon boy who also entered the demon army array with a pure gold sickle blade sword couldn't help but applaud loudly when he saw this scene. The army that the demon came to attack the city this time was mobilized by the lord himself, and its quantity and quality were somewhat beyond expectations, and some arrangements had been made in the heterotopic mercenary fortress according to the original plan, in order to gain more time to prepare, the fortress commander had to once again brave the arrows and stones to join the battlefield to fight.
Lately, Quest has been working out the Nine Swords Catalogue that he bought from a Yugros merchant for a while, and this is the perfect time to test his workouts. The sword technique of the military path used by the blue dragon boy is suitable for fighting, with a stable posture and flexible steps, and he can perceive the complex situation around him. Slashing and stabbing are the most common forms of attack in this technique, and blocking is also done by using the weapon's lever principle to block the enemy's attack in a nonchalant way.
However, as the so-called "one force will reduce ten meetings", even if he is incarnated into a humanoid form, Quis is also a humanoid dragon, and the moves he uses are all powerful, and with the cooperation of strong and sharp adamantite weapons, few demons are his enemies.
The Blue Dragon Boy had praised Jensen before, which had also made the latter notice him. For this young man who dared to enter the depths of the demon army like himself, Jensen felt a little surprised at first, but seeing his powerful moves, this former holy warrior couldn't help but think helplessly in his heart: "I still lack fire, although my strength is great, but the tricks always make me old, and it will be dangerous if I can't keep up with my physical strength for a while, I hope I still have the strength to take care of it at that time." ”
He didn't recognize the boy as the supreme ruler of the Barto Xenoplane Mercenary Fortress to which he belonged, and although Quest had personally been on the battlefield, he either appeared in the form of a dragon or was too far away from the ordinary defenders, and Jensen naturally couldn't recognize Quest's appearance.
But in the end, he was a former holy warrior, and his heart was naturally excellent. In the midst of the struggle, Jensen kept adjusting his position to move closer to Quest's side—he planned to take the boy with him when he retreated for a while.
The martial art of the Sword of the Military Dao will improve the user's insight ability, as the dragon Quith itself has a racial advantage in this regard, and now it is naturally stronger. He just glanced at Jensen's movements out of the corner of his eye, and roughly guessed his thoughts: "It's really a rare guy in the lower realm, and I can't imagine fighting alongside the holy warrior again." Quest remembered a running group friend on Earth who liked to play the role of a paladin, and couldn't help but sigh.
Thinking of the far-fetched but very reasonable incense love, the blue dragon boy took out a small silver bottle from his arms and threw it at Jensen at the right time.
"For you, no one else will be able to use it anyway, so it would be easier to smear a little more on the weapon and then slaughter the demon. Quith threw out a small silver bottle containing a few drops of the remaining "Hongde Holy Oil".
Due to faction issues, this kind of sacred grease obtained from the angelic race of the upper realm is rarely used in the Bato Xenoplane mercenary fortress, and only high-level mages like Quis and Sneijder can not take backlash damage after applying faction adaptation spells to themselves.
Jensen, on the other hand, had no such problem, and although the former paladin had been robbed of his exemplary title and thrown on the battlefield to pay off his debts, his own orderly and virtuous camp had not yet shifted, and the gods he believed in had not abandoned him.
With his quick reflexes and strong martial arts, Jensen still had the strength to accept the gift from Quest in the midst of his battle with the demons—the spine of the broad-bladed short sword was gently slammed, and the palm of the shield on his other forearm held the small silver bottle in the palm of his hand.
The rabbit's swift movement made Quest applaud him once more, and the young blue dragon said in a loud voice, "Why don't you try it quickly, there are many demons waiting for us to slaughter here." ”
After saying this, Quis took out another small silver bottle of the same kind, crushed it without hesitation, and gently wiped the oily liquid inside on his weapon. It was as if Mars had been thrown into hot oil, and a dazzling flame instantly ignited on the scythe sword he was holding, burning away the blood stains of the demons that he had brought with him before from slashing and slaying demons.
Seeing such a scene, the former paladin did not doubt him, and in the same way, his weapon was turned into a torch. It was only in his own hand that he clearly felt that although the flame was amazing, it would not burn his hands at all. On the contrary, as the flames burned, a warm feeling that made me comfortable poured from the palm of my hand to the hundreds of limbs.
"This is the feeling of positive energy," the familiar warmth made Jensen, who was now in the bottomless abyss, feel extremely surprised. The exhaustion that had arisen from the continuous battles before blinked and swept away. Due to the constraints of the silent proverb, he could not personally thank the young man who gave him this valuable item, but he was ready to express his gratitude with practical actions: "With these essential oils rich in positive energy, the combat effectiveness has improved a lot, and you must pull this generous brother when you retreat." ”
......
This is just one of the occasional episodes on the battlefield, when in fact, the Tanari who came to besiege the city seemed to have gone crazy under the mobilization of the demon lord. Even if the artillery on the head of the fortress sounded again, and the tens of thousands of corpses that had already been left behind, they were already determined to wipe this fortress of Bato from the plane of the Acid Mist Canyon.
At this time, the battlefield slowly turned into a giant meat grinder, although the defenders of Bato Fortress were spinning blades, and the Tanari demons were minced meat. But once the physical strength of the defenders begins to decline, the situation will inevitably be reversed, and mortals will not be able to compete with the demons of the lower realms for endurance. At that point, the scene will be a one-sided slaughter.
And so far, neither the Demon Lord avatar nor the Worm Tyrant hiding around him have yet to appear in the military formation. The danger of not being seen is a hundred times more dangerous than the danger of being seen. Hidden in the sea of Tanari's demonic armies, these two are always a huge hidden danger.
Slashing down a cowardly minion who wants to do it to him from behind, Quest realizes that he has to make a decision right away.
The arrangement in the fortress has reached the last moment, success or failure is in this move, and everything must be won this time.
"Retreat!"
Contrary to the previous expectations of the former paladin, the young man who had just been fighting was in the middle of his life, but now he offered to retreat into his own formation. Jensen had observed his moves, and he should have a lot of room to spare.
However, it seems that because Quest has been in the position of conductor for a long time, his language naturally has a convincing aura. Although Jensen had doubts, he was resolute in carrying out the boy's orders.
Retreat is not a rout, and if you want to retreat with all your body, you must deal with the enemy who is pursuing Ouroboros. Originally, Jensen wanted to break off his own and buy the boy some time to retreat, but this strange teenager preferred to carry out this extremely challenging task himself.
The scythe-bladed sword in his hand changed its style in an instant, from an unpretentious sword of the monarch to a random slash like a storm. Although this will give the demons who sneak attack an opportunity to take advantage of it, but in view of the swing speed brought by the powerful power of the blue dragon boy, no demon can get close for a while.
Seeing this, Jensen was no longer pretentious, he handed the boy a "be careful" look, and then took a deep breath, this time obviously with a great deal of force - the pig-nosed gas mask made of metal and leather on his face was slightly deformed.
"Shield Strike: Destroy the Evil!" Jensen gave Quest one last assist before retreating.
As mentioned before, this once excellent paladin not only has a strong physique acquired through training, but his unwavering belief has given him the ability to use spells like the Evil Breaker to attack.
Not only that, but Jensen was also able to use a technique that was often only mastered by veteran paladins much older than him—by invoking the power of goodness and attaching it to his weapon, causing his subsequent attacks to inflict tons of damage on evil creatures.
Throwing the silver inlaid iron shield full of divine power into the demons who were entangled with Quis like a frisbee, unlike before, this time the iron shield did not bounce back in an arc, and the double holy power infusion made the shield burst directly. With this move, it was as if a high-explosive grenade had been thrown into the midst of the enemies besieging Quest, and the shattered shield and the stirring light directly emptied the small area of the Tanari demon.
Leave your clothes and go, and don't leave your body and name.
After doing this, the former paladin, who had the style of an ancient hero, rushed straight in the opposite direction without looking back. Since they were in the depths of the enemy ranks, it was not easy to even return to their own formation, and there were many Tanari demons who were also in the way.
The only advantage is that most of the demons in their way are facing away from them - there are quite a few alien mercenary defenders who are either caught up in the fierce fight, or spontaneously rush into the enemy's formation, and the Tanari demons who stand in the way of Jensen's retreat are facing them at this time, so they can only leave their backs to this former paladin.
Although the paladins admired fairness and courage, they were not pedantic enough to speak to these Tanari demons about virtue. In fact, without the protection of a shield, he didn't want to go head-to-head with a perverted demon.
Armed with a broad-bladed dagger smeared with the "Sacred Oil of Grace", Jensen deliberately chose those who were fighting the other Bartow other-plane mercenary fortress defenders with their backs to him. While the former paladin slaughtered the demon to open the way to retreat, he also gathered several fortress defenders to break through together. Under his leadership, the group tore through the vanguard of the Tanari demons like sharp knives through the cloth.
