Chapter 18: The Flying Feather of the Steel Needle and the Giant Hammer Lightning

"Kill him!" Hordoch ordered, and the crowd dismounted and surrounded Saarion. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info

Saarion looked at everyone left and right, this encirclement without gaps, can attack him from all directions, it seems that there is less luck, kill one and count one! Prepared for the worst, he slashed his sword in front of his chest and prepared to face it.

A few shrill cries suddenly came, interrupting everyone's attention, and with the help of the light of the torches, a black oppressive patch in the air could be faintly seen. "Harpy!" someone in the crowd shouted. Still on horseback, Hodoch hurriedly grabbed his shield and sword, and quickly dismounted to join the people who had formed an encirclement.

"Form a ring of defense!" As Hodoch shouted, the group turned their swords around, turning outward, and quickly narrowing the distance between them. Saarion, who was originally at the point of fire in the encirclement, was also very surprised. How could there be so many Harpies in the Tagilo Mountains, many years ago, a brutal race similar to the Harpies in the entire territory of the Principality was either expelled or exterminated. This obscuring Harpy is not a remnant of power.

"What are you doing in a daze, Saarion!" Dirome shouted, "Bring Cato with you and form a defense!"

"Oooh. Saarion grabbed the unconscious Cato and hurried into the crowd. "Cato, wake up, wake up!" Saarion, who had never expected this, regretted that he had knocked Cato unconscious. The life and death between races is higher than any personal grudge, which is the practice of the mainland, and it is also the fundamental source of the continuous wars on the mainland.

Hoddock glanced at Sarion, but did not object. After all, in the racial confrontation where the enemy is outnumbered, one more person has more strength and survival is the primary task. He looked at the harpy in the sky and said loudly, "Listen, everyone, the harpy don't use weapons, they just attack with their own claws. Therefore, we only need to deal with melee combat, the shield-wielding people are evenly dispersed, behind the defense, others are not in love, regardless of the enemy outside the attack range, and must maintain the formation at all times. The formation changed rapidly, the original defensive circle shrank, and the separated people formed a new shield circle. A sword blade is outside, and the shield is inside the double-layer sky formation.

"Lord Hodoch, the situation doesn't seem right, why don't the dominant Harpys attack directly, but leave us plenty of time to form a formation?" Dirome felt that something was wrong, and asked Hodoch beside him in a low voice.

"I don't think it's right, they seem to be waiting deliberately, can it be ... Before Hodoch had time to give an order, several screams rang out in the crowd, and several people fell to the ground!

What the harpy was waiting for was the separation of the shield, and the outer ring without the shield was a live target for long-range attacks, and many feathers shot out of their wings and flew towards the sword-wielding people in the outer ring. Although it is a feather, it is extremely sharp, like a steel needle, and the flying feather can pierce the armor of the knights and go straight into the body.

The Harpy's attack has turned all previous perceptions upside down. Throughout history, the Harpy has been known for its powerful sprints and sharp talons that pierce through steel plates. They have huge wings like eagles, similar to human torsos, with sharp claws on their legs and long beaks for their beaks! But all damage must be close to the enemy, coupled with the lack of flexible hands, unable to wear any protective gear, once close to the body, it is equivalent to exposing themselves to danger, which is also the reason why the harpy cannot become the mainstream life race on the mainland. Now, the feathers on their wings have evolved to the point where they can pierce steel plates and shoot out at great speeds from long distances. With absolute air supremacy and flexible and fast mobility, a new and powerful race was revealed in front of the eyes of Hodoch and his party!

Hoddock saw the steel needle-like feathers stuck in the dead man's body and knew that something was wrong. He quickly ordered the shield to return to the outer circle to fend off the Harpy's long-range attack. However, the number of shield bearers was limited, and most of the knights still used their swords to block the flying feathers. The dense steel needle flying feathers were like raindrops, and not all attacks could be blocked, and many people were hit in vital parts and fell to the ground one after another. The inner shield array no longer existed, and with it came the talons of the harpy swooping down. The knights, who were preoccupied, desperately resisted the flying feathers coming from the front, but unexpectedly, as soon as their chests were cold, sharp claws pierced their bodies from behind. The other knights who reacted hurriedly turned to deal with the enemy who was already close in front of them, and their backs were instantly filled with steel needle flying feathers. For a moment, the screams continued, and the knights of Hodoch pursued them, and they saw that they were about to be wiped out.

At that moment, several harpies fell from the sky, and what killed them was the bow and arrow stuck in their bodies. Hodoch's pursuers were all knights he had carefully selected, and many of them were full of confidence, and many of them did not even wear shields, let alone long-range weapons. There was someone else who shot the bow and arrow. I saw that the man was quickly rolling in the place to dodge the steel needle flying feathers, and after getting up, he shot a few bows and arrows, and then rolled again, his movements were sensitive and skillful, and the bows and arrows he shot were even more missile.

"Feather, what are you doing here?" Salion shouted at the archers. Not only did he have to dodge and block the Harpy's attacks, but he also had to take care of Cato in a coma, and several wounds on his body showed that he was already struggling.

Feathered Wings didn't answer Sarion, who had done the most damage to the Harpys, had already attracted enough attention, and many of the Harpies turned to attack the archers with ranged lethality, and the rate of casualties among the knights was greatly reduced. Large swaths of steel needle feathers hit the wings, the tumbling time gradually increased, and the number of arrows shot gradually decreased. The tight-fitting leather armor can't provide high defense, and once it hits, it will be bloody, but fortunately, the innate agility of the elves has allowed her to successfully avoid deadly attacks again and again.

Seeing that there was a respite, Hodoch shouted at Sarion, "What are you waiting for, paladin, take out the power of your holy light!"

Sarion knew that this was a life-and-death moment, and he couldn't take much care of it. He then plunged his sword into the ground and half-knelt down to meditate. Hoddock and Dirome rushed to help him stop the flying needles. "Glory, judgment, humility, loyalty, mercy, justice, justice, punishment! I have summoned the power of the Holy Light in the name of a paladin!" the prayer was read, and a fiery energy emanated from Sarion's body, and even Dirome and Hodoch beside him could really feel it!

"Hammer of Light!Guardian Aura!" Sarion stood up, one palm pointing at the sky and the other at his feet. With him as the center of the circle, a circular transparent wall of yellow light surrounded the surviving people, and the steel needle flying feather was bounced out as soon as it touched the wall. The people who had not yet died, seeing all this, felt the hope of surviving, and the wings also took the opportunity to hide in the protective wall.

And in the air, with the summoning of Saarion, a huge hammer of light was illuminating the dark night sky with a dazzling light. The giant hammer full of holy light energy was completely different from the first time in the temple of the goddess, it did not fall directly, but fixed in the air, and constantly scattered many small lightning bolts from the hammer body. These lightnings, as if they had eyes, were constantly searching for nearby enemies, and all the harpies they hit were electrocuted into charcoal, and they were killed!

Large swaths of harpies fell from the sky with white smoke and burnt smell after being electrocuted, and the other harpies turned and fled in panic, but they were struck by the chasing lightning and could not escape death. Most of the black-pressed Harpy troops were wiped out in the blink of an eye, and the few lucky ones desperately escaped from the giant hammer of death! Seeing nearly a hundred Harpy corpses on the ground, everyone in the wall let out a cheer of victory, and they felt very relieved that they had escaped death, and at the same time, they were full of admiration for Sarion, the ruler of powerful energy!

Hodoch stared at Sarion incredulously, originally thinking that a hairy boy, even if he received a response from the Holy Light, was just a child who had not yet become a fire, but he didn't expect that the guy who had been despised by himself again and again was so powerful, and the power of the Holy Light of this strength was also considered the best among the paladins. He couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat, even if there was no sudden attack from the Harpy, it would not be difficult for the young man at the moment to kill himself.

On the contrary, Hodoch was frightened, and Dirome was ecstatic. He had a smile on his face, and surprise kept pouring out of his eyes. The extraordinary talent that can use the power of the Holy Light at a young age, the amazing strength that coexists with domineering attacks and strong defenses, the wisdom that can defeat the strong with the weak, and the most commendable thing is the magnanimous and kind heart. He has dedicated his life to the education of cultivating excellent knights, and now the student in front of him combines the fine character of knights and the powerful power of the Holy Light, how can he not make himself happy! Hero, Sarion will definitely become a hero, a hero who shocks the human race and even the entire continent!
