Chapter 222: Breakthrough (II)

However, when it comes to stunting opponents, there are people in the squad who are more unskilled than female swordsmen. Batuu's first assault was missed with slight hesitation, and his shadow betrayed his position, allowing the soldier who should have been knocked unconscious to react in time and dodge the scabbard stabbed at his face. The scene became quite awkward, Batu's right hand held the scabbard, and the left hand held the scimitar, and his scabbard was swung empty, but his opponent did not know the real situation, but only understood it as another blow, which made the soldier focus on the falconer's left hand, guarding against a real attack that could be stabbed at any moment. He was so focused that although his hand had already pressed on the hilt of the scimitar, he did not dare to pull it out, for fear that the momentary relaxation would kill him.

Of course, this was because he was overly worried, and Batu himself panicked when he missed the blow, on the one hand, he knew that he had to stun his opponent quickly, and on the other hand, his lack of experience in human combat made him inevitably nervous. He didn't dare and didn't know how to go on the attack. The two of you look at me, I look at you, and there is an eerie silence for a few seconds. Then, Batu's body jerked at his opponent, and the weapons in both hands slashed from above, causing the soldier to subconsciously dodge backwards. At the same time, a gray figure burst out from behind the hunter and turned between the two of them from the side. Before the soldier could see the true face of the gray figure, he only felt a pain in his jaw, and an irrepressible feeling of dizziness immediately hit his brain, and his body lay down straight like a toy with no power.

A beautiful uppercut, but it wasn't Cheese's hand that served as a fist, but the lantern in his hand. The hardness and quality of Breath of Dawn allow it to be effective enough when used as a murder weapon, except that it does not bring morning light to people for this purpose, but rather allows people to fall asleep quickly. Knocking down the enemy in front of him, Cheese flashed sideways between the scimitar and the scabbard, and at the same time stretched out his other hand and pressed it accurately on Batu's face, this set of actions seemed to have been designed a long time ago, but also, after all, it was he who pushed Batu from behind, "Calm down." ”

The addition of the gray robe to the battlefield was a surprise to everyone except Lothar, along the way Cheese never made a gesture of knowing how to fight in close combat, although his physical fitness was okay, but combat is not a competition of pure physical fitness, and whether or not he has received professional combat training will bring a huge difference. At this time, the state of Cheese is not inferior to that of a considerable number of fighters.

"Signal! to themβ€”" The downed patrol leader did not lose consciousness, in fact he only had limited abrasions on his body except for the leg that was crushed under his mount, so he roared and tried to make the patrol members understand that their goal now was not to defeat the attackers, but to pass the news of the attack back. It was only his roar that naturally attracted the attention of the squad, and Lothar jumped to the other side of the fallen warhorse, and the counterweight at the bottom of the Fool's Justice knocked the dutiful warrior unconscious. This is not good news, and if someone starts shouting, it means that the raid has come to an end.

The strength of the resistance is getting stronger, this is something that everyone can feel, and the steppe warriors who react are no weaker than anyone here, and the angry scimitars and fierce strength even faintly have the momentum to suppress the squad in turn. There were four more, and four more people were still wrestling with the cheese team. These four men were probably the best in the patrol, and even if they needed to hold a torch in one hand, they covered each other to fend off attacks from the darkness, and as they got used to the pace of the squad's attacks, it was only a matter of time before someone noticed the situation.

"Alas. With a light sigh, Cheese knew that now was not the time to save energy. He held the upper handle of the lantern to his chest, his eyes lit up with magic, and the ensuing scene was magical. I saw that the wick of Dawn's Breath seemed to have turned into a black hole, invisibly pulling the flames on the torches in the hands of the steppe warriors, stretching the flames around the torches into thin threads, and entering the wick along the lampshade of the lantern. The four blazing torches seemed to be drained of their vitality in an instant, and the battlefield was once again covered in darkness, leaving only a little light in the lanterns that could not be swallowed.

The simple fact is that the human eye may be able to see things in a dim or dim environment, but it cannot adapt to the rapid switch between light and dark. This is well known to many, which is why the crew of the ship often wear an eye patch when entering and exiting the cabin and deck, so that there is always an eye that can adapt to the light or the dark. Therefore, under Cheese's spell, most of the people present, including Lothar, who understood this truth but did not receive a reminder, fell into a few seconds of blindness. Except for those individuals who are not affected by it in the first place.

"Bang bang bang!" The sound of a human body falling to the ground was accompanied by a continuous muffled sound, and when Lothar and Batu regained their sight through the distant light, the four warriors who had fought to the end had collapsed to the ground. Although the current problem was solved, even if the light was so dim, the members of the team could see that the mage's expression was not good-looking. Unexpected, means reluctantly, reluctantly, and often a sign of failure.

"I, Lothar, and Kailas rode over first. Batu, take Atta to your horse, and we will meet in the southwest of the bazaar. "They only have one horse, and Harold IV, no matter how strong he is, can't carry his whole squad to break through. Of course, Cheese wanted to keep his full combat strength and break out, but what had just happened made him realize that this was probably an extravagant hope. In this case, it is best to go separately.

The mage's tone was unusually depressed and serious, and the cat goblin, who had planned to act with Atta, did not even question this arrangement this time. Kailas knew why Cheese was so nervous, and he knew what they were about to face on the southwest side of the market. In a sense, he even supported Cheese's decision, because it would allow Atta to see the thing later, even if only a little later. Lothar took his mount, pulled Cheese on his horse, and turned his head to say something to the other two, but he didn't say anything, but tightened his legs and urged the horse to run.

"What's on the southwest side of the market?" said the Count's voice on his horse, and the wind swept through the mage's ears. Although she had a hunch of her companion's reaction, Lothar still didn't know what the goal of their trip was.

"Calamity. ”
