Chapter 24: The Battle to the Death

In the face of such a predicament, everyone also understood that they were facing a life-or-death moment. Russell looked unafraid, raised his hand and shook it a few times, commanding the soldiers: "Approach me! The shield soldiers hold the shields, the spearmen hold the gaps, and the archers act when you see the opportunity, as long as the monsters stop, shoot them!"

Seeing that the commander still maintained a calm look, the soldiers gradually calmed down in their panicked mood, and leaned towards Russell one after another, forming a circular defensive formation.

The old woman turned into a monster, raised her crutches, and uttered some jumbled words in her mouth, as if she were commanding other monsters. Russell could not let go of this opportunity, and ordered: "Forward, the team in front of you will concentrate on attacking that big monster!"

"Listen to me, let go of the arrows!" Carter commanded the archers, and shot a small rain of arrows, which hit the old woman, and he raised his cane to block his head, and the rest of the arrows that hit it did not cause much damage to it, and Russell saw this, and ordered the team to continue to attack the old woman. At this time, the team behind began to ram the shields of the shield soldiers, but when the spearmen stabbed at them, they always managed to dodge nimbly, and suddenly added some wounds to the soldiers' bodies, and were attacked from front and back, and the formation suddenly became precarious.

From time to time, the old woman struck the shield soldier's helmet with her cane, and Russell could see that the old woman was directing the monster behind him, and he made up his mind to use the gunpowder bomb on it, but the old woman seemed to have discovered Russell's intentions, and he dodged left and right, and did not give him a chance to aim at all.

Even, it began to recite a strange sentence again, and Russell noticed that its crutches seemed to light up, and then, countless purple smoke came out of its crutches and drifted towards the team in front of it. Russell was shocked, isn't this a magic staff? He hurriedly shouted, "There's something wrong with that smoke, don't smell it!"

But his reminder was still too late, the soldiers who smelled the purple smoke covered their necks one after another, their bodies fell uncontrollably, and the front was lost in an instant, Russell was in a hurry, so he could only cut the cloth on his robe with his sword and put it around his face as a mask, and several people nearby hurriedly followed suit when he saw this. Looking around, only Bauer, the crossbowman, was still near him, Russell thought about it and shouted to Bauer, "Bauer, do you see the big monster's cane? I want you to shoot at the top of it, hurry up!"

Bauer nodded hurriedly, calmly, aimed at the old woman's crutch, and with a pull of the trigger, a crossbow arrow shot out of the bracket and hit the old woman's crutch. I don't know what connection this cane had to do with the old woman, but it let out a miserable howl and stood still with its head covered.

Good opportunity, Carter and Russell nodded tacitly, and rushed over left and right. The old woman could not be restrained, and she waved her crutches again, although the crutches were damaged, but there was still a trace of poisonous mist attached to them, and the two of them did not dare to shake it, so they could only dodge. There were already screams of soldiers coming from the rear of the line.

Can't delay any longer, Russell gritted his teeth and said: "Carter, I'm about to throw 'Heavenly Punishment', you have to hold it back, or I don't guarantee that I can kill it!"

"Good!" Carter didn't talk nonsense, as the old woman attacked him and blocked it with his sword, and then let out a cry of pain, and Russell clearly saw a trace of purple mist seeping into Carter's arm. He lit the bomb and threw it hard, shouting at the same time: "Hurry back!" Carter heard this, pulled back sharply, only to hear the sound of "boom", the fire instantly illuminated the hazy sky, Russell and Carter were pushed out by the shock wave, Carter was very close to the explosion, fell to the ground and did not know whether he was alive or dead, Russell was also blown up.

But when the smoke cleared, the old woman was not dead, half of her body was blown up, but the wound was still slightly wriggling, and the black heart was beating strongly, struggling to stand up. Russell was in a hurry, but the bones in his body seemed to fall apart, and he couldn't stand up no matter how hard he tried.

"It's over!" Just as Russell was in despair, a fiery red figure jumped out from behind him, jumped on the old woman's body, and stabbed it fiercely into the old woman's black heart with a short sword that emitted golden light.
