Chapter 127: Downwind
Wild Pier.
In the middle of the cliff by the sea, in a naturally formed depression, four guns were lined up.
Compared with ordinary bronze field guns, these four guns are made of stainless steel, and under the same caliber, the gun body is lighter and stronger, and the bore ratio is larger, and the gun body is more slender.
With the same 100 millicaliber, such a steel cannon undoubtedly has a longer firing range, a higher speed of discharge, and a stronger lethality.
More than a dozen black-clad and black-armored elite soldiers stood beside the artillery, looking at the movement on the beach of the thousand-foot outer field pier by the light of the moonlight.
It was they who had smashed the dinghy on the beach with one shot, and cut off the old man's plan to row away.
Above this depression, at the top of the cliff, a dozen black-clad warriors armed with swords looked around vigilantly. The moonlight was like water, and the shadows in the jungle not far away swayed, as if something terrible was hidden.
On the beach, the black-armored warriors pressed closer.
I don't know who said it loudly: "Put down the package in your arms, honorable old gentleman...... Although we are evil bandits, we also have a way of stealing...... We don't want to hurt people by handing over the money. ”
Holding the black cloth package in his arms tightly with both hands, the old man sneered: "I have never heard that there is such a bandit in that chaotic mountainous area that can have equipment like yours. ”
Coughing lightly, the old man said in a deep voice, "Do you know that your actions are a great disrespect to my lord? Your actions are nothing short of heretical...... What is in my arms is a taboo that you should not look at at all, let alone touch? ”
More than a dozen burly strong men were burning with flames all over their bodies, and they were armed with heavy swords, and they lined up to block those black-armored warriors.
The black-armored warriors approached cautiously step by step, and they no longer spoke, but expressed their firm will with their actions.
The old man wrapped in black cloth sighed.
"Kill them." The strong man, whose body was covered in white flames, gave orders to his companions beside him.
A dozen crimson humanoid flames let out a low roar, sending a furious wave of heat towards the attacking black-armored warriors. The two-handed heavy swords almost as tall as their bodies dissolved the air, and crescent-shaped crimson flames erupted, tearing long cracks in the sand.
A dozen crescent-shaped flames seven or eight feet high swept across the group, and among the black-armored warriors in groups of three, the one holding the war knife suddenly stepped forward, and they roared in a low voice, letting out a long howl like a vicious wolf.
The swords in their hands emitted a faint yellow light.
The sand was slightly shaking, and there was a low roar from the ground, and as these warriors with swords in hand swung their swords vigorously, the sand on the beach rose into the air with a 'whir', and more than two dozen crescent-shaped knives made of white sea sand flew out.
The sword and sword qi collided together.
The crimson flames scattered, and a heat wave swept across the beach of Wild Pier. Countless sands were burned red, and a blinding light burst out in all directions.
The black-armored warriors clearly had the advantage in numbers, and after a large swath of red-hot gravel broke through the crimson flames, it sprayed towards the strong men with heavy swords, striking hard at the crimson flames that surrounded them.
The flames shook violently, and the brawny men let out a dull roar, the red-hot grit burrowed through their skin, and under the high heat, the grit quickly melted, turning into hot juice and slowly trickling down their skin.
"The earth gives us strength!" The black-armored warriors with swords in hand roared in unison, and a pale yellow halo suddenly spread out under their feet. Six concentric circles encased a five-pointed star's aura condensed, the yellow halo was uncertain, and the demonic aura accompanied the sound of their breathing, and the diameter continued to scale from about three feet to about twelve feet.
With the sound of 'quack' muscles and bones, the bodies of more than two dozen warriors with aura pouring out of their feet slowly rose up.
They were originally five feet nine inches or ten inches of normal height, but as the aura poured out, their bodies quickly rose to about six feet one or two inches, and their arms and thighs became thicker.
'Shhhh
A black-armored warrior lunged forward, his sword swinging a large yellow light and slashing down at the nearest enemy.
The flaming heavy sword sent a wave of heat and slammed into the sword.
With a loud bang, the warrior holding the heavy sword shook his body, his footing was unstable, and he was actually chopped back seven or eight steps back by this knife.
In terms of absolute strength, the strength of the black-armored warriors who gushed out of the demonic aura under their feet soared, completely suppressing this group of burly and tall strong men.
"Earth Demon Bear! Damn the kingdom of Ruiwei! The strong man with white flames on his body and a heavy sword in front of the old man roared angrily: "Their entire kingdom should be subject to the Holy Judgment...... All should be burned at the stake. ”
"No, no, don't let anger cloud your wisdom, dear child." The old man clutched the black cloth package in his arms tightly with both hands, shook his head and sighed, "The power of the Earth Bear does indeed belong to the Ruiwei Kingdom alone...... However, Earth Bear Elixir is not uncommon. For the sake of money, the Ruiwei Kingdom wantonly sold the Earth Bear potion on the black market. ”
The old man's thin cheeks twitched violently: "The Delun Empire also purchases the Earth Bear potion every year, and no one knows how many warriors in the Deren Empire have the power of the Earth Bear...... A thousand, or ten thousand? Who knows? ”
The ten fingers of his hands were like iron hooks, clasping the black cloth package in his arms, and the old man muttered, "So, this is the fundamental reason why we recover and seal these forbidden things...... We ......"
'Poof'!
A strangely shaped, almost translucent corrugated sword suddenly pierced the back of the old man's heart and stabbed out of his chest.
Several extremely fine lines on the corrugated sword flickered, and a terrifying poison poured into the old man's body from the blade.
The old man's body became completely stiff in a very short period of time, his skin turned a lifeless gray-blue, and his two eyeballs were corroded by poisonous gas, turning into two balls of dirty blood flowing down the corners of his eyes.
"You have a point, esteemed Lord Dorai...... But ......"
With his back to the old man, the big man nervously observed the fight between his companions and the black-armored warriors. Those black-armored warriors were numerous and strong, and they were even more in groups of three, with proper combination of long and short ranges, and tacit understanding, more than a dozen warriors with heavy swords were beaten quite embarrassed, constantly falling backwards, and most of them had several deep wounds on their bodies.
The big man's attention was basically attracted by the battle situation of his companions, and when the old man was killed by a sword, he didn't react at all.
The other corrugated sword silently parted the air, stabbing fiercely into the gap in the armor on the big man's waist, and when he wanted to hit his kidneys directly, the big man suddenly shuddered, and subconsciously swung a sword behind him.
'Ding'!
The rippling rippling sword and the flame-entangled two-handed heavy sword collided together, and the rippled sword flew out of its hand, whirling backwards and plunging into the waters of the bay.
The big man turned around suddenly, his eyes widened in horror, and he stared blankly at the old man who was standing in place.
In the shallows behind the old man, more than a dozen warriors wearing black armor but with a dark blue aura flashing under their feet were standing there quietly like ghosts.
They held three-foot corrugated swords of the same shape in both hands, and the whole body was shimmering with water, and the translucent corrugated swords in their hands were like phantoms, and they would ignore their existence if they were not careful.
"Principality of Thousand Lakes, water goblins?" The big man held his sword in both hands, his eyes bloodshot, and stared at the black-armored warriors standing in the shallows.
The black-armored warriors whistled in a low voice, and did not speak, but waved their swords with both hands and pointed at the big man at the same time.
Behind them, more than a dozen whirlpools with a diameter of several feet appeared out of thin air in the seawater, and the whirlpools made a 'bang-la-la' sound of flowing water, followed by countless fist-sized water balls with a subtle sound of breaking wind, like a torrential rain.
The brawny man hissed and roared, swinging his heavy sword and striding towards the black-armored warrior standing in the shallows.
"You killed Lord Dolai...... Bastard...... Lord Dorai......"
Tears flowed from the bloodshot eyes of the strong man, and he roared, like a wounded beast, he launched a desperate charge towards the powerful enemy.
The dull crashing sound kept ringing.
The dense water balloon kept hitting the strong man, and the cold water balloon collided with the high-temperature flame, and the water balloon instantly evaporated, and then exploded into high-temperature steam. Large clouds of hot white gas burst out in all directions, blowing up small bunkers on the beach.
The big man's movements became much slower, and he still roared, swinging his heavy sword and lunging forward.
More than a dozen warriors with rippling bodies did not say a word, waved the rippled swords in their hands, and shuttled dexterously left and right in the shallows.
Their movements in the sea are brisk and agile to the extreme, like a group of agile dolphins playing. The big man strode into the shallows, he was constantly bombarded by countless water balls, and his every movement made a large splash of water in the shallows, swinging a large area of water vapor.
Obviously, after entering the shallows, Dahan's movements were much slower, and after being hit by the water balloon, he was hit much harder.
Dozens of flickering sword lights approached silently in the water vapor, and the big man swung his heavy sword with both hands, spinning rapidly like a big windmill.
The sword light and the heavy sword continued to collide, and in the dense impact sound, several corrugated swords were shocked and flew out.
These rippled swords fell into the sea, and the sea made small waves, and then these corrugated swords flew up on their own, spraying large splashes of water, and returned to the hands of the black-armored warriors.
More than a dozen black-armored warriors are like a group of hungry wolves surrounding a male lion, they cooperate tacitly, and they will never fight hard with the big man, but with the advantage of speed, they continue to consume the power of the big man.
On the beach, nearly a hundred black-armored warriors surrounded more than a dozen strong men, and they also achieved a big advantage.
For a time, the group of people that Metzinglad responded to fell into a comprehensive disadvantage and fell into an extremely dangerous situation.
