Chapter 50: Team Battles
Although Lance stayed in the safe barrier, he unconsciously held his breath as he watched the cautious steps of the six of them. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 Info felt as if he was among them, feeling the oppressive fear of a silence outside. As Andre and the others got closer and closer to the dozen or so zombies roaming, Lance's heart hung in the air.
When they had walked more than ten meters, they cautiously stopped. Andrei made a gesture with his left hand. The four of Quincy carefully and quickly lined up in a row, picked up the light crossbow in their hands, and aimed at the zombies that were still wandering in front of them.
The steel arrows reflecting a faint white light resemble runners waiting for a gun to go off. And the full crossbow string is as tight as the runner's heart. Waiting for the moment of sortie at any time.
With a wave of Andrei's left hand, he only heard the sound of a "poof" tearing through the air. The sharp, four-edged arrows flashed with cold light, dragging their blue trails, and flew away. It was accompanied by a sound of piercing flesh and blood gushing. Four zombies fell to the ground with arrows in response.
But I haven't had time to enjoy the first round yet. The zombies who were originally wandering around aimlessly suddenly turned their heads to Andre and them as if they had heard the battle horn.
After just a second, all the zombies changed their previous ramblings. Like a wild horse, with the terrible roar of the zombies when they attacked, they rushed towards Andre and them, like wolves that had been hungry for a long time. In terms of speed alone, Lance really can't outrun these angry zombies.
"Steady, draw your sword!" Andre finally spoke, his eyes like a cheetah lurking in the grass, murderous but patient. Quincy, who heard the order, hurriedly threw away the light crossbow, and then drew the broken sword at his waist and waited for it.
In the blink of an eye, these zombies with teeth and claws have rushed to Andre and them. The soldiers were filled with more or less fear. Because of the tension in their feet, they kept changing their pace slightly, but they couldn't find any sense of relaxation. The hands, which were already covered in cold sweat, clung to the hilt of the sword, after all, this was their only reliance.
One of the soldiers looked at the rushing zombies and swallowed in fear. And Quincy showed some fear, and the ups and downs of their chests grew faster and faster as the distance approached.
"Steady! Ready!"
Andrei raised his voice, and at the same time, Andrei also clenched the sword in his hand. Whether seasoned or not, tension is present in every battle. Especially a veteran like Andrei, who participated in the Third Holy War, knows it in particular. A soldier who is not nervous on the battlefield is either an arrogant soldier or a dead corpse. Whether it is on the march, in battle, or even when cleaning up the battlefield, a little nervousness is the performance that a soldier should have.
The noisy footsteps of "boom, boom, boom" have reached 5 meters away from Andre's six. The sound of their roars still seemed to burst their eardrums. The details of the appearance of each zombie, and even the number of teeth, Andre and they can clearly see it.
At this critical moment!
"Left!"
Hearing only Andrey's lion-like command, Bag led the four of Quincy to let out an earth-shattering cry and rushed out from the left with a sword. It's like a pack of lions that have been dormant for a long time, and suddenly launched a deadly attack. The moment of the attack, the momentum of the original zombie dominance on the battlefield was reversed in an instant. At this moment, Lance knew that the number of zombies was more than three times that of them. But in their hearts, because of their momentum, they clearly knew that the victory had already belonged to them.
At the same time, Andrei's right hand sword waved. Under the flickering blue-white cold light, a white beam of light smashed to the ground like a ballista. Under the shaking of the earth, the surging huge white light waves were like a surging tsunami, enveloping countless broken bluestone bricks on the ground, blocking the overwhelming attack of the eight or nine zombies in front of Andre's right.
"Iron Curtain of Sacred Words!" the White Dragon Princess Roxani recognized the move that saved her and Lance.
At the moment when the wall of light of the Iron Curtain of the Holy Word blocks the zombies in front of the right. Bagh and Quincy swung their swords in their hands, and in the splash of black liquid, they violently and without hesitation cut off the heads of eight or nine zombies in front of them.
Their swordsmanship is smooth and smooth, with tacit understanding, and there are sword blades to take care of them up and down, left and right. Although there were only five of them, the swinging blade formed a 120-degree blade area in front of them. The storm-like blade mercilessly slashed at everything that rushed into the area. The left side has been emptied.
"Right!"
Andre shouted out the next direction command, and they didn't even have time to breathe when they had just emptied the left bag, so they hurriedly turned around and slashed to the right. And they had the timing just right. The 4-second duration of the Iron Curtain of the Divine Word had just passed, and under the white light of its end, it was followed by five silver cold lights with beautiful arcs, as if it was the life-threatening Emei Yue, mercilessly killing its prey in the dark night. The carnage in front of me is overwhelming.
With the sound of blood gushing, the five zombies were killed in an instant, let out a complete death wail, fell to their knees on the ground, and never got up again.
Follow the vertical split of the five. Andre, who finished casting, also pushed forward with his left hand, and a strong white light exploded from Andrei's left hand with a muffled "bang". The zombies in front of him were blown back three or four meters along with the corpses of the zombies that were hacked to death. In an instant, the earth shook. The smoke and dust blasted by the white light obscured the battlefield.
Then came Bag and the others, who followed the white light and killed out of the smoke and dust at the same time. They took advantage of the effect of the knockback to rush out and directly took the lives of the remaining zombies.
In this way, more than a dozen zombies were all killed after this overwhelming combo. From Andrei giving the order to launch an attack to the end, it took less than 8 seconds. Such a tacit cooperation made Lance, who was sitting on the stretcher, stunned. This is not at all the level of strength that a militia garrison should have.
"Boy, look stupid, haha. Thin Ed said with a smug smile, "This was trained by former captain 'Scareye' Round and old Andre according to the training methods of the Four Great Knights. Although we are a militia garrison. But combat effectiveness is not to be underestimated, haha. You'd better give three points in front of us, boy. ”
"That has nothing to do with us levies. Fat John on the other end of the stretcher dragged his humble voice and said, "After all, the only veterans who participated in Land's training are Quincy and the four of them." Why don't they let us stand by here, Captain?"
Skinny Ed turned around angrily and glared at Fat John, "If you don't speak, no one will treat you as a dumb person! Besides, haven't we been trained by the devil for almost two weeks?"
Seeing this skinny Ed who was a fox and a tiger, Lance didn't want to say anything. He didn't have the energy to argue with these people. At this time, the soldiers who carried the corpses and carried the wheat straw also returned.
So, Lance turned to look at little Tommy, who had just returned from his stretcher, and asked softly, "Little Tommy, let me ask you something." What's wrong with that 'Scar-Eyed' Captain Ronde, who you're talking about?
Little Tommy hurriedly "shh
"Grandpa Ronde was ambushed by the demon army last month, and all 54 people in the garrison were killed. Uncle Bagh and Quincy were unexpectedly spared because they went to the capital city of Idris to attend a garrison meeting. The 18 of us were all temporary conscripts after the accident. ”
"That is to say, counting Grandpa Andrei, Menice only has 6 veterans and 18 conscripts, this is the strength of this force?" A trace of sadness rolled over Lance's face, although it had nothing to do with himself, but the military knowledge in his head told Lance that this was simply running naked to death. As long as the demons send a force of 10 people, they are afraid that they can easily take down Menise.
Lance paid attention to the geography of his surroundings as he traveled. The area is surrounded by thorny forests, with only one road and one trail leading to Ménice. And out of the dark forest, there is an open plain.
In this way, Menice was the first gateway to Idiris. Assuming that the demons are going to attack, Menice will inevitably play the role of a gate and a beacon. And these 24 people will definitely not meet the military needs of Menise.
Tommy Jr. continued: "Actually, a month ago, when the garrison had just been reduced, Grandpa Andrei went to our lord, Eugene, Count Clay, to ask for troops. But Count Clay had been slow to send soldiers. ”
"That's ......"
At this time, the captain in the distance, Bager, greeted the soldiers who remained behind. So the rest of the people carried the corpse and straw and walked towards Andrei and them. Lance saw that among the bodies that had been removed from the chapel, there was also a body and head belonging to Quincy's mother.
At this time, the captain Bag also took a cloth stained with black blood, wiped the sword in his hand, and walked towards Lance.
Lance saw Captain Bagh smiling at himself as he wiped his sword and said, "It's time for you to show your strength." ”
"Me?" Lance looked dazed.
