Chapter 43: The Glory of Dragoons (Part I)

Is Jonah, a 17-year-old apprentice astrologer, afraid of fighting? He can't answer the question himself, because he has spent his whole life studying astronomy and geometry in the astrology tower, and before coming to Cherry Crossing, Jonah had never even fought an ordinary fight. After becoming a tenant in room A51, the only battle he faced was the night attack of the powerless squad, and the possessed demon went through everything in his place, and Jonah probably learned the horror of the battle from the accounts of his companions.

In fact, in the years of St. Bouren's successive campaigns, the astrologer apprentice walked in the red earth plains with the invisible aura of the members of the five guilds, and saw too much life and death, blood and fire, and the passage of life would not touch the fragile side of his soul more than the withering of flowers.

But now Jonah was no longer a detached observer in the robes of an astrologer, but a lame white boy in an ordinary thick cotton coat, weak enough to need protection at all times—his worldview was quietly changing, especially now that the blood of the tall and thin man was splattered on his face, and Sibby's arrow grazed the tip of his nose, and before he could say a word, the whole tavern had become a chaotic hell.

The arrow missed, and Chope tilted his head slightly, and the arrow slashed the tip of his fork, taking the last small piece of apple pie with him.

"Well, I'm full. Chope sighed, wiped his mouth with a handkerchief, and pulled out another silver coin and placed it on the bar, "No need to look for it." He smiled and said to Bill, who was standing on the other side, before drawing his sword and plunging it into the heart of the bar waiter.

"Pelle!" the red-haired Jophany covered her mouth and turned to run deeper into the cavern.

Chope waved his hand, and the two black-cloaked Dragoons dropped their swords and forks and drew their swords.

Enraged customers swung swords, benches, cutlery, and beer glasses in droves, and the blades of the dragoons glowed with pale blue magic, and magically blessed weapons were indestructible, slicing swords, benches, cutlery, and beer glasses into pieces, slicing through human bodies as easily as hot knives cut through butter. The group that rushed to the front fell, holding their stumps and moaning in pools of blood, while the rioters behind were clearly frightened and hesitated.

"They have lost their chance, and you still have a chance to answer questions, gentlemen. Chope played with his sword, slicing a silver plate into even pieces like a cake, his hilt inlaid with a large ruby in the center, and a blood-red afterimage when wielded, apparently a high-class enchanted weapon.

At this time, Sibby's second arrow hit, and Chopper smiled and raised his sword blade in front of him, but he obviously underestimated the power of the girl's bow and arrow, and a streamer "ding" hit the enchanted longsword, turning the angle and speed unabated, and "whoosh" through the gap between the shoulder leaves of the dark golden enchanted scale armor of the Golden Land Dragon Knight, piercing through Chopper's left shoulder.

The arrow flew with a trail of blood towards the dark roof of the cavern, and Chopper clutched his shoulder in shock, a trail of blood oozing from between his fingers.

"Just kidding. He looked at the wound on his body and smiled bitterly: "I was actually injured by a little girl, they will laugh at me." Certain. ”

The tavern patrons, who had been stunned for a moment, shouted and rushed forward again, and the two dragoons retreated in the face of the overwhelming attack, forming a small encirclement around Chopper. Chope swung his sword to block a wine glass and whistled loudly.

The groundwalking dragoons on standby outside began to storm the gate.

At the first close charge, the heavy oak gate was reduced to pieces like papier-mâché, and two dragoons straddled the tall earth-walking dragons, thundering footsteps and foul-smelling winds pouring into the tavern, their sinister spears tearing through the air. The tables at the door were run over and trampled into bloody mud along with the tables and chairs, and Jonah had never felt death so closely, he could clearly see the jagged fangs in the mouth of the earth-walking dragon, and the stench coming from the mouth of the carnivorous dragon, and he felt like he was about to be swept away by the wind like a fallen leaf.

Toba appeared on the rampage of the dragoons. At some point, he took off his coat, rolled up the sleeves of his cheesecloth shirt, sank down, and straightened his arms, marble-like lines on his thick arms. The two dragoons both grabbed the riding spears with their outboard hands, and the head of the room crouched between the two dragons, bowed his head to avoid the bite of the earthly dragon, and the moment he staggered, he grabbed the raw cow belt of the earthly dragon's halter with his fingers, and exhaled: "Hey!"

Jonah saw that his thigh muscles squirmed and swelled like a naughty little monster, his heels ploughed deep ravines on the rocky floor, gravel flew sideways, and the momentum of the two earth-walking dragons was forcibly stopped by Toba, the "horn" sounded twice, and the raw cow belt couldn't resist the strong pull and was strangled by his fingers on the spot, but the earth-walking dragon that had lost its balance could no longer maintain the posture of rushing forward, and in the terrible howl, the two dragons fell their feet, their backs hit the ground, and the whole tavern shook slightly.

One dragoon could not get out of his way, and with a scream, he was crushed by the heavy horseman, and the other deftly jumped up, dropped his spear, and drew his sword in the air, but before the enchanted sword could leave its scabbard, one hand pressed lightly on the back of his hand.

"Nine Lights...... King Ming's Gun ...... Shoot!" The unfamiliar hand changed two ancient handprints, and the Mingwang spear fired close to his body with a golden tail flame was nailed to his cold breastplate, and a dull loud sound like a bell rang "Dong ......" came out, attracting the attention of the entire tavern for a moment.

The dragoon in the air turned his head slightly and looked at Qiao Pu in the center of the tavern, Qiao Pu also saw him, and saw that his standard cuirass was punched deep holes by the ancient self-cultivation method of the Southern Buddha Kingdom, and the front and back two layers of carapace were thinly pasted together, protruding from the back, and the dragoon opened his mouth and spit out a cloud of blood and squeezed out of the crushed internal organs.

"It's really interesting that the dead Southerners actually use spells. Sibi was pleasantly surprised.

He actually spoke! He could speak!--Jonah had just recovered from the shock of the head of the room, and was shocked by this abnormal phenomenon.

Jekong landed with the body of the dragoon, took off the scarf that covered his mouth and nose, dipped his index finger in a pool of blood, put it on the tip of his nose and sniffed it, sniffed it again, and sighed.

Chope jumped off the barstool in disbelief, his fingers unbuckled the black cloak, revealing his dark golden enchanted scale armor, and slowly walked towards this side under the cover of the two dragoons.

"Refreshing!" Toba crouched down, two huge fists slammed into the head of the Earth Dragon, and the ugly riding beast screamed, blood spurting from its nostrils, and its sharp claws were slashed with nerves, and it was impossible to see that it was alive. The roommaster tore off his shirt, revealing breasts with a metallic sheen that was not like that of human muscle, and screamed happily.

The dragoons outside were held back, and they regrouped to charge, and Toba drew his riding spear nailed to the ground, and rushed out first, shouting: "Protect the astrologer, and the women and children!"

Yekong squinted his eyes at the dragoons outside, and then at the people in the tavern, holding the hilt of the "Buddha's tooth", and walked out with Toba.

"Your Excellency the Astrologer. Elliot drew his sword, bowed his head and asked, "Can you protect yourself, and women and children?"

"See your ghost woman and child!" Sibby fired three arrows in Jop's direction, turning his head and scolding.

"Snort. Ryuji smiled. She quietly stepped back and disappeared into the shadows of the tavern.

"I can protect myself, rest assured. Jona suddenly realized that he was part of the battle, nodded in reply, and began to scramble for materials to depict the star array. The Rose Knight weighed the situation and made a judgment, the unicorn swerved deftly, kicked the ground on all fours, and Elliott Pranced Horse out of the tavern.

The ground is rocky, there is no way to carve grooves, pencils, charcoal, chalk, nothing, even without a triangle I can draw accurate geometric shapes, but the medium has always been a fatal problem, this time back to Cherry Cross, I must find a few crystals suitable for engraving the star array...... Jonah thought wildly, picking up and throwing away the legs of his chair, the silver fork, the knobs of his glasses, the candlesticks, the apple pie, and the fingers of the unknown man.

Mentor Koshavet once said that in the distant era of war, the ancestor astrologers used blood to draw a huge attack array, ending the entire war with the power of a small group, and thus became the same as the five guilds, no longer allowed to appear in battle, and no longer affected by the battle......

Without hesitation, Jonah brushed aside the debris from the ground, and with that bleeding finger, quickly drew a complex array of attacking stars on the rocky floor, his brain like the most precise protractor, his arm as a ruler and a compass, and the blood formed one circle after another, and the pentagram and radiation, which were connected by a waveform curve.

The blood faded, "Holy!" Jonah cursed, squeezing the severed finger so hard that fresh blood flowed out and turned into a component of the red star array. The last two curves represent the horns that absorb free energy, after completion, Jonah immediately pressed his hand on the star array, closed his eyes and meditated, and it didn't take a few seconds to touch the starline that represents the power of light, heat and form change, he silently recited the astrologer's motto, activated the star array, the star line free energy was swept into the vortex, gathered in the center of the blood pattern and magnified and rotated rapidly, when the power of the star array was almost uncontrollable, and the hand was constantly drumming, Jonah opened his eyes, aimed at Qiao P and the two dragoons, and yelled: "All dodge!"

The dazzling light, which was so thick and hot that it was difficult to look at directly, illuminated the stunned faces, and the "scorching starlight" instantly absorbed all the light and heat in the tavern, streaking through the void like a bolt of lightning.

Before Capp could dodge, he didn't need to, as the Scorching Starlight was completely out of sight, deflecting more than three feet to the right, burning a string of hanging bacon to ashes, and burrowing a deep, red-hot cavern into the rock wall, and the molten rock dripped to the ground, igniting the shards of tables and chairs. The tavern went dark, and then the fire lit up again.

Chope rubbed his eyes away the retinal streak of light, "Magician?" he smiled as he twisted a strand of burnt flaxen curls with his fingers, "There are many surprises today." I see that there is enough combat power here to put my two brothers to death, and the answer should be in you. ”

Opening the buckle on his belt, Chopper took out the dark gold enchanted helmet from behind him, buckled it on his head, put down his armor, and walked step by step with his sword in both hands. Behind him, two dragoons blocked the disorganized attacks of the tavern guests.

Jonah had no strength to regret it, he felt that his mental strength was weak, his hands were bleeding, and his desperate desire to increase his power caused him to pour too much energy into the star array, resulting in no way to aim accurately, and at the same time suffered from the recoil spirit backlash.

"What's the fuss, brother, do it again!" Sibi shouted, jumping up to him, plunging the serpentine cone at the lower end of the longbow into the ground, the four fingers of his right hand spread, and the three silver arrows condensed side by side on the full bowstring, "Bang Bang", the three arrows fired in unison, and the three arrows drew different and intertwined flight paths, appearing in front of Qiao P almost at the same time.

The Golden Earth Dragon Knight didn't dodge, he lowered his head slightly, held the sword in his backhand, and folded his arms in an X-shape to cover his eyes.

Good luck did not appear again, and the three arrows hit the chest, abdomen, and arms of the whole body scale armor head-on, the enchanted scale armor emitted a faint red light, and the invisible long arrow trembled slightly, collapsing into three wisps of light smoke with a little silver light. Chope stumbled from the impact, but that was all, he flicked his arms and started unscathed, his sparkling eyes in his helmet flickering in the light of fire.

"Are you kidding?" Sibby almost jumped up.

Jonah tried his best to lift his heavy arms. I'm such a useless guy. He thought sadly. What mysterious prophecy, what extraterrestrial demons, they can't even use a simple attack star array well, they can't protect others, let alone protect themselves.
