Chapter 10: Departure: Fight against the Ascendant
"Wait, someone is following us." Blue Feather realizes that something is wrong and activates another detection skill, "Ordered Life Detection".
The principle of detection is simple - his ability is quite sensitive to highly ordered bodies (living organisms).
There was a sound of horses' hooves, and when they looked back, they saw a puff of dust rising behind them, and six men on horseback, armed with weapons in hand, galloping, obviously coming at everyone.
The team immediately prepared for battle, and Akzam, who was at the front, rolled over and hid in the bushes by the roadside, and he took out an obsidian arrow from his back basket and placed it on the recurve bow, ready to shoot.
All of them, dressed in defensive soft cloth armor and armed with runic swords, had reached for the grenade hanging from their waists.
Lan Bing wanted to cast a spell, but Lan Yu made a gesture to stop her - her ability made Akzam not very good, so Lan Bing consciously hid behind everyone.
The scum stopped their horses twenty meters away from the crowd, ignoring them and just looking greedily at Lan Bing's face.
The leader remained calm, and seeing that everyone was waiting, he licked his lips and said, "We don't want your lives, let the two ladies accompany us and have fun, and you can go." ”
The rest of the scum also laughed, their eyes glancing at the two women unscrupulously.
Shen Mengfei simply took out a grenade and prepared to throw it.
The scum saw the "stone" in her hand and laughed: "The stone can't hurt us, and you can learn how strong it is later." ”
Seeing this, Akzam stepped forward and said coldly: "The great enemy is currently killing each other, and there is no forgiveness for killing according to the code of the Arcasia mage, and you will not be guilty of death if you turn around now." ”
When the leader saw Akzam, he turned his head and slapped the short man in the face, but he still gave the order to attack the crowd - as long as he was silenced, no one would know about it.
"Drive." The thugs spurred their horses and began to run towards the crowd.
Lan Yu just sighed, moved his fingers slightly, and activated another skill, Blight.
He didn't use "Honkai", after all, Akzam was on the team.
The invisible and massless force of entropy infected the four dregs, instantly causing their varicose veins to age purple-black, and causing the alveoli to shrink rapidly.
The four scum immediately felt breathless, dizzy, and weak, and they could no longer hold on to their births, and fell heavily from their horses.
Only the leader was lucky enough to hide behind his companions and escape.
This guy slipped into the woods when he saw that the situation was not good, but he happened to find Liu Xiaoxiao, a punk boy who was also hiding in the woods.
The leader grabbed Liu Xiaoxiao's collar, and he sneered and put the knife on Liu Xiaoxiao's neck: "I advise you to lay down your weapons, otherwise your companion will die immediately." ”
Akzam bent his bow and aimed at the leader, and the leader immediately blocked Liu Xiaoxiao in front.
"I say, lay down your arms!" The leader gripped the hilt of his sword tighter.
A bloody mark appeared on Liu Xiaoxiao's neck.
Of course, the team couldn't lay down their weapons in exchange for Liu Xiaoxiao's life, but they couldn't bear to see him killed.
"How about we let you go, you let him go?" Shen Mengfei tried to negotiate.
"I'm saying you want to lay down your arms! Or you can be a hostage. The leader roared.
Lan Yu didn't want to save Liu Xiaoxiao, although this guy was still a little useful.
Suddenly, Chen Yang threw down the rune sword and kicked it towards the leader.
When the other party saw the runes engraved on the sword, he shook his head slightly excitedly, and he was about to pick it up with Liu Xiaoxiao.
Liu Xiaoxiao finally relied on it once, he saw the leader in a trance, his heart was ruthless, and he took out a dagger from nowhere and stabbed it into the leader's heart.
The leader looked down in disbelief at the dagger in his heart, and with great unwillingness, he fell down foaming at blood.
Liu Xiaoxiao, who survived the catastrophe, was paralyzed in the yellow urine stains under him, gasping for breath.
……
Several people looked at the four scum who fell to the ground: "What to do with these few?" ”
Lan Yu made a gesture to wipe his neck: "Kill them, it's good for you." ”
Shen Mengfei and Chen Yang were born in the military, and they hesitated: "Isn't this not good, they have lost their ability to resist." Does Acacia have any ...... about this kind?"
Lan Bing asked Shen Mengfei coldly: "If we lose our ability to resist, will they let us go?" Think about it, what would happen if we both fell into their hands? ”
Akzam's eyes were full of anger: "According to the Aecasia Code, self-defense is not guilty!" Whoever currently kills his compatriots will be considered as collaborators and executed. ”
The four scum woke up from their dizziness and were terrified when they heard their talk. They hurriedly wiped the blood from the corners of their mouths, got up and knelt on the ground:
"Ladies and gentlemen, we are really forced to let us live. At the moment of the great enemy, the people of Acacia cannot kill each other. ”
The short man was even more trembling on the ground, and he stammered, "I was struck by the beauty of two ladies.... Buff... Lost... The idea of attacking you was the two of them...... Please let me go."
"Righteousness is awe-inspiring, so why didn't you think of these things at that time?" Lan Yu asked calmly.
"If you can't bear it, you can make a little more of it and make them suffer less. Anyway, they suffered internal injuries and won't live long. He turned his head and said to his four teammates with a blank face.
The three of them walked towards the scum, as if they were walking a long road, and Chen Yang also turned his head to look at Lan Yu, as if asking: Do you really have to do this?
Lan Yu saw their hesitation, and he said firmly, "This level must be passed. ”
The scum saw the tall figure approaching with a sword, and kicked his legs back in a panic.
Lan Bing's face was cold, and she slashed the wrist of the lewd short man, she wanted to let this beast taste the taste of bleeding to death.
Shen Mengfei kicked the other scum between its legs for half a minute, and then stabbed its neck with a sword.
Chen Yang directly gave the gangster a good time, and also helped the gangster who had his wrist cut off to end the pain - he still couldn't accept the act of killing the prisoner.
Liu Xiaoxiao was on the other side, smiling and peeing on the leader.
The harvest mark on everyone's hands shone a little.
Lan Yu absorbed the only remaining life energy of the dregs, and thought: It's cheap for you, but it's a good thing that you didn't meet my brother.
There was no doubt that it was the first time for everyone to do this, and their psychology was strongly impacted, Shen Mengfei threw down her sword and retched in a big gulp; Chen Yang took out the kettle and drank a few large mouthfuls of water to suppress the churning gastric juice; Lan Bing reacted relatively best, but his face was also ugly.
Everyone continued to hurry, Lan Bing came over and said in a low voice: "I made a mistake and didn't tell the two of them about Liu Xiaoxiao." ”
Lan Yu said calmly: "It's okay, he's still a little useful." ”
……...
In the afternoon, they rushed to Beizek.
The woods on the hillside in front of him had been destroyed by fierce fighting, and the broken trees were everywhere, and the wasteland was covered with fallen leaves.
The smoke and dust from the fight had not yet completely cleared, and there were craters bombarded by magic everywhere.
The most shocking thing is that a part of the mountain seems to have been dug out of thin air by some force, leaking out of jagged strange rocks and strange red soil.
Following the direction from which the sound of the fight came, the group saw that the people of Sejax were fighting a warrior of the gods.
This Celestial warrior is three and a half meters tall and is a hybrid of a human and a stag. He had golden antlers; The golden pupils burned with a golden flame like the sun; The body is dotted with plum spots, and strangely this spot is a strange black and purple color, very similar to the plague sores.
Lan Yu immediately thought that this was probably the corrosion of the Void.
The Ascendant's staff, made of Shurima's adamantite gold, shimmered in the sun, and from time to time torrents of magic flowed from the tip of the wand.
The battle has lasted for a long time, and under the attack of Sejax and others, the branches on the antlers of the Celestial warriors were broken in several places, and there were several arrows on their bodies, and there were more than ten wounds on their bodies, large or small.
The one on the shoulder blade was particularly terrifying, presumably cut by Sejax's bronze axe, a wound that made the angelic warrior's arm shrug away.
Sejax and the others were also uncomfortable, and only seven of the twelve people who set off were still fighting, and five of their teammates were either seriously injured and forced to withdraw from the battlefield, or died on the spot.
However, Jax and Cogelin still relied on their skills and tacit cooperation to stabilize their position, and they were the core of the team to withstand the Celestial Warriors, and from time to time found opportunities to add a new wound to the Celestial Warriors.
"I saw Sejax them. Fast! Support them, they can't hold on. Akzam said hurriedly.
Blue Feather quickly observed the battlefield and judged the situation - most of the energy of the Celestial Warriors was consumed, and the casualties of Sejax's team were half small, although it was a small disadvantage, there was no danger of collapse.
"No, joining the fight now will only cause chaos for Sejax. What we have to do is to lurk and strike the fatal blow (K-head) at the most critical moment. ”
Akzam agreed, and the group hid in a thick bush and watched intently as the battle in the valley began.
