Chapter 34: For the Empire
Just as Xavier closed his eyes and was about to accept death, a sudden sound of strings was heard not far away.
It sounds like the howl of a storm or the crashing of the waves, and it seems to be on a par with the best of nature's powers.
It slashed like lightning, like a gamma-ray burst, and shot Sauron's spear with great speed and precision.
It's Miss Hannah's bow and arrow!
But even such an accurate bow and arrow only missed the falling spear, and the tip of Sauron's spear, although it did not hit Xavier's heart, also grazed his face, leaving a thin streak of blood, and then went down and stabbed into his left arm.
But in any case, Xavier's life had been saved, and before he had time to lament that he had lost the power of the king, he hurriedly endured the pain in his left hand and gave Sauron a hard kick in front of him!
And Sauron, who was attacking, didn't expect to suddenly kill an arrow, so he didn't guard against Xavier's counterattack, and his huge body was kicked away by Xavier and landed on the corpses of many barbarians in the distance.
Of course, it was impossible to defeat Sauron with a single kick, and he only fell to the ground for a moment before quickly getting back to his feet.
I was attacked again!
This made him laugh heartily, happy that he had found many powerful enemies.
"Feel your blood boiling!" he shouted in a language Xavier didn't understand.
Not far in front of him were Xavier, who was picked up by Miss Hannah, and Skyler, who got up on his own.
"Why are you here? Don't you need to be guarded in the South?" Xavier asked in a very fast voice.
"The Southern District has been preliminarily cleared, but if I don't come, will you still be able to survive?" Captain Hannah replied with a smile: "Let's talk about the rest later, first defeat the strong enemy in front of you." ”
Truly...... Xavier thought in his heart for a while, it seemed that he had been saved by Miss Hannah for the second time, why did this kind of beautiful rescue hero always appear?
It's just that he is not allowed to be ashamed at this time, he can only defeat Sauron as soon as possible to wash away his shame.
Two stinkers can't beat Zhuge Liang, but now it's Sanying! Fight one Lu Bu, it should be a win, right?
Xavier and Skyler roared together in the rising sun, their swords pressed against Sauron's spear, and Miss Hannah drew her arrows behind her.
At close range, the steel arrows had an extremely powerful impact, even if Sauron was wearing three layers of armor, so he subconsciously turned sideways while injecting power into the spear, trying to dodge Hannah's arrows.
But how could the arrows of the first archer of Reston be so easily dodged, especially at such close range, so the arrows still hit Sauron's left chest with precision, giving a pounding sensation to the heart inside.
At the same time, as the toxin intensified, Sauron slowly felt his movements become more and more overwhelmed.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Skyler and Xavier took advantage of the weakening of the opponent's strength, gritted their teeth, and stabbed forward with both swords at the same time, knocking Sauron to the ground.
Behind them, an arrow was also fired, this time in Sauron's helmet.
Faced with the impact of two arrows, as well as the huge weight of the thick armor on his body, Sauron could not easily get up from the ground, and could only watch the two approach.
At this moment, as if he had a concussion, he only felt a silence in his ears, and all the surging, exclamations, and screams around him disappeared.
In an instant, he had an understanding that he had lost.
After all, he was defeated by these despicable strangers.
Next, the sound of the 'sword dance' sounded, and Xavier finally showed a smiling smile when he saw the strong man in front of him.
But he did not hesitate because of this, but cut off his head directly, and shouted to the surroundings:
"Sauron has been slain by me!"
Although the barbarians could not understand Xavier's language, they always recognized the human head, and it was Sauron's head!
As the captain of the cavalry brigade, Sauron's prestige has long spread among the barbarian army, everyone knows that this is a war maniac who is obsessed with battle, but he did not expect that such a strong man would die in a village that had never heard of it.
For a while, everyone was panicked, and there was even an incident where the soldiers did not want to climb the flying tower, and the barbarian commander in the rear was furious.
Although the reinforcements have not yet arrived, and they only have about a few thousand soldiers, but what about the village opposite? I don't know if there are 500 people, right? I can't beat one out of ten, I really think everyone is a son of the plane!
But thinking that most of their soldiers are cavalry, it is normal to be unskilled in attacking cities, after all, most cities in the north directly choose to surrender or flee after hearing about the destruction of the First Legion, so they have no siege experience at all.
But he still didn't understand why they couldn't even beat a village!
Forget it....... He sighed silently, even Sauron was dead, he had chosen it himself...... There is no need for him to continue to waste his life here.
These are all their most valuable elite soldiers, and if they die, he will have no rights in the empire!
So in the next moment, without any hesitation, he issued the order to retreat.
The soldiers who were still struggling to move forward on the flying tower were instantly faster than the rats that had stolen the cheese, but the barbarians who remained on the wall were not lucky, and they would soon be quickly sent back to their gods by Xavier's three consecutive light blows.
The battle to defend the city, which lasted from early morning to morning, was finally won by the village of Reston!
The soldiers standing on the city wall shouted their own slogans:
"For the Empire!"
Xavier also smiled with satisfaction as he looked at the barbarians who were retreating in the distance.
At this time, he consciously checked his injuries, and found that a blood mark had been cut by a spear on his cheek at some point, a small opening was made, and even a little blood flowed out of it.
Looks like it's going to be disfigured....... He thought to himself, and then he felt a huge pain in his left hand, the sensation of shattering bones!
Suddenly, the soldiers next to him saw that the brave detachment leader actually shouted in pain, and hurriedly sent people to carry him down to rest.
In the midst of the dazed scene, Xavier felt as if he had been carried somewhere else.
But he was also relieved, because in his mind, there was already a prompt sound from the system.
