Chapter 59: Who Says Paladins Don't Backstab?
"You're the adventurers Mundas spoke of?"
Looking at the holy warrior who rode alone towards him, the corner of the ogre Hulun's mouth raised a hideous smile.
"That's right, stay here for me!"
As he spoke, he raised the mace full of spikes in his hand and slammed it down on Wren.
This stick is smashed, whether it is Wren or the celestial war horse under his crotch, they are all dead and bones!
"The gap is so big......"
The corners of Wren's mouth twitched, and his left hand pressed lightly on the saddle of the war horse.
The holy light flickered, and the celestial warhorse disappeared in an instant, but it was the holy warrior who canceled the summoning of his mount.
By the inertia of the fall, Wren lowered his head slightly, and the mace mixed with the wind swept less than three centimeters above his head, but the slightest difference was the end of the world, dragging the battle to another result.
Feeling the solidity of the ground coming from his toes, Wren kicked his legs, and with the help of the forward inertia that had not disappeared, his body leaned forward almost parallel to the ground, and rushed forward frantically in the direction of the ogre.
Hu Lun only felt that there was a flower in front of him, and the figure of the holy warrior was lost in his field of vision.
But his combat experience is quite rich, and he subconsciously raised his right leg and kicked it towards his right front.
However, it kicked an empty one.
Wren rolled to avoid the ogre's kick, and in a moment of stride, he was already diagonally behind him from the ogre's right hand.
+2 Cold Iron Sword Unsheathed!
The moment the cold light flickered, a second-ring spell slot was consumed in an instant, turning into a brilliant divine power!
- Backstab!
- Holy Slash!
- Fierce Attack!
The sharp blade pierced the ogre's thick skin, piercing through fat, piercing muscles, and into the spine.
"Ahh
As the blood flew out, a strong pain spread throughout the central nervous system, and Hulun opened his mouth wide, making a "ho-ho" sound from his mouth, and he could no longer hold the wooden mace in his hand and let it fall to the ground.
Looking at the ogre who fell to his knees in pain, Wren, who had successfully pulled out his weapon with a backstab, had a face as cold as an iceberg, and indifferently put his left hand on the hilt of the sword.
One Ring spell slot was consumed again, and divine power filled the blade!
Split, slash!
Boom!
The paladin sheathed his sword and stood, and behind him, the leaderless body of the ogre fell to the ground with a bang.
At the same time that Wren killed the ogre, although the other people's shots were a little slower, they were not inferior to the holy warriors in terms of simplicity.
The barbarian Rupert swung his greatsword and slammed the massive drake to the ground, then stepped forward and slashed off the opponent's head with a wild laugh.
The captain of the guard, Dellett, showed his amazing strength, and the scimitar in his hand was danced by him, slashing the dragon beast in front of him into blood, wailing, and finally being slashed by the human warrior cut the major artery in the neck, bleeding alive and dying.
As for Sodick and Angelica's side, under Soddick's protection, Angelica exerted the strength of a ranger's battery, and arrows continued to shoot out of her hands, accurately shooting through the throats of the goblins and kobolds who pounced on her.
And when they saw the terrible death of the ogre and the two-headed drake, the morale of these guys completely collapsed, and they dropped their weapons, turned around and fled frantically out of the town.
Ignoring these little minions, Wren and the others walked towards the family who had escaped.
"Hello, my name is Wren, and I am a traveling paladin, and they are my companions. We hurried in the field when we saw smoke rising over the town. Excuse me, what happened to Hemmer and why did these wild creatures attack the town? ”
Wren looked at the woman with a vigilant look on her face holding a short spear, and asked softly.
looked at Wren and the others, and then at her husband, who had lost a lot of blood and was on the verge of coma, and the vigilance and fear in Grace's eyes gradually disappeared.
She could feel that these adventurers could be trusted. (Negotiation successful)
"My lords, the night before yesterday, the mayor of Yeshan suddenly woke everyone up, saying that he had received news that the village of Lamb had been breached by a giant dragon with his dependents, and in order to prevent accidents, he hoped that everyone would move to the castle in the center of the town, the sooner the better. However, the next day, as soon as it was dark, the dragon flew over the town, and the townspeople fled in all directions, and then a large number of goblins and kobolds attacked the town, and while they were organizing resistance, the militia captain of Hemmer was killed by a dragonman while organizing a defense. The whole town was in chaos. After such a long time, it is estimated that only the Loubao side has not fallen. ”
Grace's injuries were so severe that she began to gasp for breath without saying a few words.
"Great, sir...... Can you save my husband, his injuries are too serious. ”
Grace looked at the young paladin in front of her with hope and pleaded.
"It is the duty of a paladin to lend a helping hand to the weak."
In the face of the other party's plea, Wren did not refuse at all, and he motioned for the other party to put the man named "Marven" next to him, and let her and her three children also surround him.
Looking at the three timid little faces, Wren had a big smile on his face.
He wanted to touch the other person's head, but he was afraid of scaring the children, so he eventually gave up the idea.
“Holy——Bolt!”
Wren clenched his right fist in front of his chest, and the divine power turned into holy bullets of light and threw them into the bodies of the Grace family, healing their injuries and warming their hearts.
Marvin and Grace, who were the most seriously injured, had noticeably rosy faces, and the three children's complexions were obviously much better.
Wren did not open the [Prayer of Prayer] aura that he first mastered to heal the injuries of several people, but used the [Holy Light Bullet] to restore their health, because [Prayer of God's Prayer] requires the consumption of spell slots, and the next step must be an extremely difficult battle, and his limited spell slots must be reserved for [Holy Slash].
Civilians' health is not comparable to that of professionals, and even Grace, who has undergone a certain amount of military training among the five, has a maximum of 10 HP.
According to Wren's current level, he can release five holy light bullets at once, each of which can heal 5 HP, which is enough to lift the health of the two seriously injured people in front of him to a safe line.
"Thank you, thank you, sir!"
Looking at her husband, whose breathing gradually became steady, Grace showed a grateful look.
She struggled to get up and was about to salute, but Wren reached out to stop her.
"I've only stabilized your injuries, but limb injuries require professional priests and medical personnel. Now, let's escort you to the castle, and I'm going to meet with the mayor of the 'Night Mountain' you call to discuss how to deal with the current situation. ”
Faced with the request of the life-saving benefactor, Grace naturally agreed.
In this way, the Wren five escorted the Grace family towards the castle in the center of Hemer's town.
