Chapter 55: Counter-Charge
A short distance of thirty or forty yards is not a distance for a demon, and a swarm of demons is pouring towards the tide, and the sight of this kind of scene makes people's scalps tingle just by looking at it. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
Payne had expected that after taking out the two Demon Knights, the morale of the team would reach a peak.
But he was wrong, he overestimated his prestige a little. If his orders were in the opposite direction, instead of going head-to-head with a disparity in numbers, no one would hesitate.
Even if there are equal number of demons, they will carry out orders unconditionally, but the number of opponents seems to be extremely large, enough to be three times the number of their own.
But their captain ordered them to do the opposite, and many people thought they were wrong, and even began to retreat despite the captain's orders.
Of course, they know that their captain is unstoppable, but that doesn't mean that they are the same, once they get into a scuffle, who dares to guarantee that they will survive to the end.
You know, it's basically no different from sending people to death.
Seeing that he couldn't suppress the scene anymore, Payne raised his foot and hooked the knight's sword on the ground, and then threw it out, nailing a mercenary who had fled to death on the spot.
"Whoever dares to retreat, this is what will happen to him!" Payne raised his heavy sword and shouted, "Rush over!
However, Roy was the only one who carried out his order, and he raised the shield in his hand to protect him, and rushed forward like an armored tank, knocking everyone in his way, whether it was his own people or the demons who had already rushed up, to the ground.
Penn ran out of time to talk nonsense with them, slashed Kemp's head off with a sword, and rushed forward after Roy.
When everyone saw the captain's crazy behavior, their bodies couldn't help but shiver.
If the deserter was killed on the spot could be explained, then what was Kemp's fault? They obviously couldn't understand what the captain was doing.
But Hawke, Johnny and a group of cronies only hesitated for a moment before following the captain, and they finally chose to believe the captain. And when passing by the mercenary who was pierced through the chest by the knight's sword, Hawke did not forget to draw the sword from the other party's body, and rushed forward with a swing.
As soon as the group led by Payne moved, the formation of the team suddenly collapsed, and at this time, the four vice captains of Pierce and Quentin exchanged a look in the air, and they chose another direction to fight their way out of the encirclement very tacitly.
Their betrayal was supported by the majority of the people, and only a few of the remaining thirty-odd people chose to believe in Captain Payne, and the rest all chose to flee.
But they were not fools, and of course they knew that there was only one way to escape without a purpose, so they chose the direction of the castle. As the leader of this mutiny, Quentin was the first to rush to the forefront, he thought, as long as he entered the castle and held the castle gate until dawn, the chances of survival would be far greater than rushing to the fire.
Payne certainly thought of this, but he knew better that without a Ferrari's starting speed, he couldn't outrun the demon's minions, and the darker the area, the stronger the demon's strength.
On the contrary, darkness will only bring people inexplicable fear, especially in this case, - fear, will bring about catastrophe.
And more importantly, if the culprit is not removed, no one will want to live until tomorrow.
Payne glanced back behind him, and only six followed, except for the ten cronies, and none of the six were by his own name. - This means that the good players have followed their vice-captains and chose to betray.
"These brainless fools!" Penn vented his anger in fluent Mandarin. The undisguised betrayal made his eyes bloodshot sharply, and the hideous bloodshot almost instantly crawled all over the whites of his eyes, and he was angry...... It almost made him lose control of his emotions.
At that moment, Payne remembered the words of the Divine Envoy, "We believe in God, so God gives us guidance. 』
It occurred to him that those who did not dare to face fear and death would only be abandoned by the gods. The raging fire not far away is the guidance given to him by the gods!
"The gods have given us guidance," Payne shouted with a sword that took the head of the demon in front of him, almost roaring, "without fear, there is no death...... Gate A!(1)"
The crowd around him didn't understand the meaning of the captain's strange words, but they naturally thought that the captain was praying to the gods, and he had succeeded in receiving guidance from the gods.
Although they didn't understand what 'Gate A' meant, they felt that they were thanking the gods for their guidance, and it would be very exciting to shout it.
So, a high-pitched shout rang out in the procession, "Gate A!"
Sure enough, after shouting, the fear in their hearts suddenly evaporated, and looking at the series of demon heads flying high, they felt that their whole body was blessed with a force.
Roy's impact was extremely strong, four or five demon minions collided at the same time, his body did not have a trace of stagnation, and the chain meteor hammer in his hand was like a hammer pounding garlic, making a whining sound in the air, accompanied by muffled sounds such as 'click' and 'flutter', as well as splashes of viscous liquid and debris.
Payne's forty-pound sword looked as nimble as a viper with the blessing of his handguards and wrists, and with every precise spit of the letter, he brought up a hideous head that was not afraid of death, and the silver dagger in his hand was like a red-hot burning stick that pierced into the sawdust shavings.
However, the demon's minions that were hit by the silver dagger only burned a hole in the part where they were hit, and there was no case of burning and carbonizing all over the body. Payne knew that this was because they were still in their initial form of minions, and they couldn't be called demons yet,...... But it's just as deadly.
Hawke held a twenty-pound knight's sword in his hand, and he felt that his whole body was full of strength, in fact, he had always been haunted by his failure to become a vice-captain, he believed that he was no worse than Quentin and them, he had always thought that Captain George was blind, and he seriously thought so.
Morgan, Johnny and the others in the team also became more and more courageous, and they found that these demons in front of them were no different from wild beasts. The claws are not sharp enough, no, they should be the palms of the hands. The teeth are not threatening, and the only thing that can threaten them is the speed and strength of the opponent, as well as the number.
