Chapter 113: Demon Breaking
Most people call archers who have reached the silver rank a marksman, but the specific concept of this title is very general, and in fact, after the archer's strength rises to the silver rank, there will also be various deviations according to individual differences. Just as warriors choose a sword or a warhammer, the marksman's personal style is also very dependent on the weapon in hand.
The Dragon's Tooth Bow is powerful but has a somewhat poor rate of fire, so El is very cautious with every shot. He didn't cooperate with Palanti's attack in the first place, but aimed the second arrow at the middle-aged thief leader who was not far from the magician.
The most valuable targets on the battlefield are not the most threatening powerhouses, but those leaders who are responsible for coordinating command. War is not a one-man game, and individual heroism cannot play a decisive role. El did not learn these principles systematically, but the wolves in the mountains and forests were the best teachers.
Although he has little confidence in his own leadership, there are many idiots who do not understand this kind of truth in this ignorant age. El soon discovers that in addition to Palanti, who disrupts his overall plans, the opposing mage's mage also exhibits the same pig teammate qualities.
An ice-blue aura erupted from the mage's feet, freezing Palanti and all the thieves around him indiscriminately. The middle-aged thief leader was also an extraordinary master, and he had a chance to dodge El's arrow, but he didn't expect to be frozen by his own people, and the arrow directly penetrated his skull.
The mage didn't bother to pay attention to the casualties of the thieves, and from his personal point of view, the only threats were the assassin in front of him and the sharpshooter in the shadows, as long as he managed these two soldiers who were barely counted as silver, the other cavalry was not worth mentioning in his eyes. If you give him enough time, you can make all your enemies fall in flames.
In the eyes of some silver-rank powerhouses, ordinary warriors are like ants, and no matter how heavy the casualties of both the enemy and the enemy are, they have nothing to do with him...... Or maybe this casualty is exactly the outcome he wants to see. The heroic and fearless knights of Istalon and the unruly bands of thieves in Sisiary are not easy pawns to master, and it may be better to let them die together.
His idea was theoretically fine, but he didn't consider that El still had a big killer weapon like the Demon Breaker Arrow hidden in his body. This alchemy product made by Lolana herself not only has the most basic demon-breaking functions, but also has a variety of terrifying and vicious effects attached to it, the only problem is that it is expensive and scarce, and it cannot be reused.
El once used a demon-destroying arrow as a hidden weapon during a battle, but it didn't have its full effect, and he carefully picked it up afterwards. The other time was to lurk on the battlefield and lock on the princess Rangalia, although she didn't shoot in the end, but she could already make Princess Rangalia feel threatened, and its power can be imagined.
Since then, El has not been able to find a worthy target to get a taste of the true power of the Demon Breaker, but now the opportunity is in front of him. The surprise came so suddenly that he couldn't believe it.
In his imagination, the magicians on the other side would definitely use all kinds of strange magic to cover up their true whereabouts, and then use all kinds of strange magic to influence their judgment, causing confusion among the charging knights, and then the thieves swarmed up...... But now the idiot didn't know why he stayed where he was, put a bunch of colorful magic on himself, and then completely ignored himself, turned around and began to release the wall of fire.
With the mentality of giving it a try, El replaced it with a demon-breaking arrow, pulled out his full bow and shot it with his greatest arm strength. With a snap, the Demon Breaker Arrow pierced through the translucent shield in front of the mage without hindrance, shattering all the colorful magic on his body, plunging straight into the mage's body and carrying him backwards.
"I would have shot my eyes if I had known!" Elle cried out in annoyance with a pat on his head, out of caution he was aiming at the mage's chest, and the arrow did not have the power of death runes attached to it, otherwise the other party would have died cleanly and without any saving value. But now at least the original purpose had been achieved, El put away his dragon's tooth bow, shouted, "The magician is dead!" and then clasped his legs around the horse's belly, and rushed into the camp of the thieves with the other knights.
After the death of the middle-aged thief leader, the rest of the thieves lost command and became a little overwhelmed, and the death of the magician demoralized them even more. The elite knight squad on the cliff had already taken control of the situation, and also found the hidden rolling wood and stones, and threw them down piece by piece in the place where the thieves gathered the most, and instantly smashed them into a wolf howl.
In such an unfavorable situation, the morale of the thieves soon collapsed, and they scattered their feet without any decent resistance, and the carefully arranged ambush of both sides once again turned into a one-sided pursuit.
But fortunately, this time the thieves did not meet the enemy in a hurry, and various means of retreat were prepared in the camp. The wall of fire released by the magician ignited the oil buried in the trench, and for a moment the flames burst into flames. The camp was full of tripping ropes and traps, as well as a variety of other traps with great personal characteristics, not seeking to kill or injure the enemy, but only to deter the enemy. Smoke bombs exploded in the crowd, and thick smoke billowed everywhere, and the stench was stinking......
When the battle was over, the bandits left behind hundreds of corpses, but the knights of Istalon were also tormented. The number of unlucky people who were ambushed and incapacitated in the midst of burns and falls was also in the hundreds, and their faces were all black and smoked like baboons in the mountains and forests, which was ridiculous.
Palanti was thrown far enough so that the pretty little face was spared and replaced by a mixed abrasion. Although he was able to avoid serious injuries such as broken bones because of his dexterity, he would inevitably bump and bump when he fell in the dark.
Enduring the pain in his body, Palanti returned to El with his head down, silently waiting for his punishment. Disobedience to orders is the greatest taboo in the army, and even if the case is severe, even if the head is beheaded, she is even more sympathetic than El.
Eleng snorted, ignored her, turned to the others and asked, "How many people died?"
"If you count the magicians, there are a hundred and twenty corpses in total, and it is estimated that the number of people who have escaped is about that number. ”
"I'm asking about our casualty figures. El said coldly. After this battle, his personal prestige was finally temporarily erected, and he finally had some deterrent power against these knights who were above the top.
"Seven brothers were sacrificed, fifteen were seriously wounded, and eighty-six were lightly wounded. The black knight peeked at Palanti and whispered, "Sir, this casualty figure is not strange without the support of the temple sacrifices. We only lost seven people, which is already a big victory......"
"Win a big victory when some people don't obey orders?" El asked rhetorically, with a sinking face.
"I was wrong, sir. Palanti whispered.
"What did you say? I didn't hear you!" El looked at her coldly, "Speak louder, repeat it, and let everyone hear." What's embarrassing, it looks like it's not the first time you've done this kind of thing. ”
Palanti's petite body shuddered violently, biting her lip tightly, and her face suddenly lost its blood.
"Sir, sir, listen to me. The black-clad knight, who had reported the casualties, pouted, grabbed El's arm and pulled him aside.
"Sir, you extinguish the fire, there are some reasons for this that you don't know. The black knight smiled bitterly and whispered, "The brothers admire your ability to achieve such a result, but no one wants to blame Palanti. She was at fault for disobeying orders, but those seven brothers were killed by Guan Rong, and it really had nothing to do with her. ”
"What's your name?" El asked. He had a slight impression of the black knight, and he seemed to have reminded him to watch out for Palanti's movements before the battle.
"My name is Timmy, sir. The black knight scratched his head: "Listen to me, Palanti's story is a long story, and now it is more important to continue to pursue those thieves." If you let them ......"
"Timmy, I'll appoint you as the vice-captain now, and I'll take someone to clean up the battlefield. El tapped him on the shoulder, turned back to Palanti and held out his hand.
"Now that you've been dismissed as vice-captain, give me back your sword. I'll report back to what happened today when I get back. ”
Without saying a word, Palanti unsheathed the sword and handed it to El, without making any excuse for himself, but his eyes couldn't help but turn red.
