6. The Decisive Battle of the Wild Sands Chapter 373 Sewer Raid
In fact, Black Mamba's strength is not weaker than Lydia's.
The first defeat was due to the beheading of his lieutenants, who were eager to win, but were in a hurry when Lydia interrupted the trick twice; The second defeat was when the ambush was seen through, and his soldiers were routed by Lydia's cavalry and had to retreat.
If she can really use the "Purple Lightning Double Thunder Slash" to go head-to-head with Lydia, maybe the two can get into a fight. But unfortunately, this time she was timid when she saw Lydia, and she had already lost in momentum.
Even so, the Black Mamba still raised his twin axes and gathered his soul energy again, and the purple lightning light slowly emerged, crackling. It's just that her alpaca seems to have sensed her uneasiness, and is cramped to the ground.
Lydia's chocobo galloped forward, leaping into the battle circle and instantly knocking down several of the forbidden soldiers. The cold light of her spear flickered in the firelight, and a swirl on the flat ground dispersed the ranks of the forbidden army that rushed out like a flock of wild ducks.
"You, the princess of the gods, dare to be presumptuous here!" The Black Mamba let out a loud shout and rushed towards Lydia. His twin axes slashed through the air with two cold rays of light, carrying deadly killing intent. Lydia didn't answer, clenched her spear, and urged the chocobo to meet the Black Mamba.
When!
The two mounts were staggered, and the two weapons had been in the air for five or six rounds. The sound of metal colliding with each confrontation is like a death knell for the other party.
The Black Mamba's battle axe danced as fast as a windmill, but her twin axes were always powerless against Lydia's spear, and even though she had tried her best, every attack was easily blocked by Lydia's spear.
"What kind of monster is she? Could it be that her combat power has surpassed mine, to the level of His Majesty Darius? The more the Black Mamba fought, the more frightened he became, and his arms began to tremble slightly.
Lydia grew more and more courageous, her spear piercing like the wind, and she had caught a gap in the Black Mamba's defenses between the afterimages. "Let's take it!" She stabbed with her spear, stabbing at the Black Mamba like a detached bow.
The Black Mamba was caught off guard, and it was too late to dodge. The cold light flashed, and Lydia's spear pierced through the Black Mamba's breastplate with precision.
"Ahhh The Black Mamba screamed in pain, and his body had been picked up from his mount with a shot from Lydia. She rolled twice in the air and fell to the ground with a black eye.
It wasn't until Lydia's spear was at her throat that she relented.
By this time, her twin axes had been disarmed, and the forbidden army in ambush had been killed. She tried to get up, but her body was out of her control, and the only thing she could do was stare at Lydia with reluctance and remorse in her eyes.
Lydia clenched her spear and looked coldly at the Black Mamba who had fallen to the ground.
The black mamba's eyes gradually dimmed. "I lost......" she said in a bitter voice, admitting her defeat with difficulty.
"Take it away." Lydia snapped her spear, and a sergeant stepped forward and tied the black mamba on a stretcher and carried it away.
……
In the sewers of the palace, deep and dark, General Nick led a team of agile surprise raiders, quickly shuttling through the labyrinth of sewers like ghosts.
The leader is not Nick's daughter Maya, but Finks.
Finks' steps were fast, but light as a fallen leaf, and she could quickly tell her bearings, even in the dark. She knew every narrow corner, every slippery step, every dirty water.
Nick admired her excellent stealth ability, so Nick secretly trained a new special combat team with the support of Buxiao.
These team members wear black night suits, and use stealth assassination as their main means of attack, and they also use some throwing knives and hidden weapons. All of this reminded Lydia of a character that had appeared in the island nation in her previous life: ninjas.
It's just that the word "ninja" in this world reads very much like an indescribable organ unique to women, and Lydia is ashamed to say it, so this special combat team is finally named "Black Shadow Force".
As the special forces team was moving at high speed in the sewers, Finks suddenly raised his hand in front of him, and the entire team immediately stopped.
"Attention, there are traps ahead." Finks commanded in a whisper.
Ahead is a deep tunnel through which sewage flows slowly. But in fact, the tunnel is covered with slender steel nails, and if someone wades through the water, several large holes will immediately appear under the soles of their feet.
Nick beckoned, "Ladder." ”
Several soldiers came to the front of the group with folded ladders on their backs, and laid a rickety bridge with their hands and feet.
The stench in the sewer is pungent, the steel nails in the sewage are looming, and if you accidentally fall into the water, it must be a tragic end.
But the soldiers of the Red Pavilion were undaunted, and Finks made a forward gesture and climbed the ladder first. The other soldiers were well-trained and climbed the dangling ladder like a swarm of nimble squirrels.
There are endless traps in the sewers, all kinds of flaps, poisoned arrows, and punctures, and at first Finks can recognize a few by his own ability. But in the back, it was up to Nick to lead the way to save the day.
"There should be twelve sentry posts along the way." Nick sighed in a low voice, "People go to tea and cool, no one can see this kind of dark sentry position, and after a long time, they are all relaxed." ”
They rounded trap after trap until they came to a well-lit hole.
Nick warned, "That's the hole where the sewer guards are on duty, and only one person can go up at a time, but there are at least twenty people guarding it. ”
Finks complained, "Isn't that just going to death?" ”
"So we have to get them away......" Nick was just about to explain his plan when he suddenly heard footsteps!
Nick hurriedly made a stealth gesture, and all the special operators immediately split up and hid.
The footsteps were getting closer, and it seemed that someone was walking in this direction, and Nick and Finks hid in the corner, waiting for someone to come.
The person who came was a Praetorian Guard of the Imperial Palace, and he yawned as he walked in this direction. Apparently this is an unlucky bastard, who was forced by the chief to inspect the sewers.
"What a fucking bad luck." The Praetorian Guard wept and grumbled, "This road is dirty and smelly, and there is not even a ghost shadow, what is there to patrol!" ”
This guy didn't expect that behind the wall in front of him was actually a huge crisis.
Nick and Finks couldn't help but laugh secretly, such a lax enemy was simply a godsend. Nick gestured to Finks, and Finks understood, and the two of them suddenly rushed out at the same time, instantly appearing in front of the Praetorian Guard.
Before the Praetorian Guard could understand what was going on, Nick slashed his knife in the throat, and the guy immediately clutched his throat and couldn't make a sound. Immediately afterwards, Finks drew his knife and stabbed him three times in the heart, sending the unlucky man to another world in an instant.
Nick quickly ripped off the guy's military uniform and put it on himself, swaggering back to the hole with a torch, muttering as he went, "Damn, this road is dirty and smelly, there's not even a ghost shadow, what's there to patrol!" ”
I have to say that Nick's acting skills are superb, and when these two sentences are spoken, they are exactly the same as the soldier's tone.
He slowly climbed up the hole, swearing and swearing. As soon as his hind foot stepped out of the hole, there was a thud, and the saber was already unsheathed. Before the defenders above could react, three heads had already fallen to the ground.
"Who are you?!" The defenders seemed to realize that something was wrong, but saw Nick pull a few bombs out of his arms and drop them into the pile.
Rumble! Rumble! Rumble!
The bombs were bursting on all sides, leaving the defenders in a daze. Before they could come back to their senses, there was already a group of Red Pavilion sergeants dressed in black in front of them. They leapt out of the dark sewers, as if divine soldiers had descended from heaven, and caught the defenders off guard.
The Janissaries were in a mess, looking around with frightened eyes, and big question marks in their tiny heads: Who are they? How did they get here? What are they coming to do?
And the special combat team's answer is a simple action: draw the knife.
"Kill them!" Finks shouted, and the special forces swooped down like falcons in the night sky. Their scimitars flickered in the firelight, as eerie as ghostly fire, and as raging as a wind. The frightened guards were completely disrupted by this sudden attack, and for a time they were defeated.
The sound of explosives, shouts of killing, and the sound of weapons colliding.
The defenders on the walls were taken aback by the sudden commotion in the palace, and they were surprised to find that a group of enemy troops had been killed in the palace at some point. The team scattered the defenders with lightning speed, and rushed towards the walls with their swords drawn.
Rattlesnake was caught off guard, she had only brought a group of archers to guard the city wall, and suddenly saw Nick personally come with the assault team, and a trace of consternation flashed in her eyes. But that consternation soon turned to anger.
This man dared to run to her territory to spread wild! Her angry hand gripped her "Viper Scimitar" tightly, and an unprecedented battle intent erupted from her.
"Nick, you bastard!" The Rattlesnake General roared, her voice echoing across the walls, filled with anger and hatred. "I'm going to tear you to pieces!"
Nick swung his knife forward, the blades clanging against each other, "Your idea is good, but whether you have the ability to do it is another matter." ”
Rattlesnake's poisonous snake knife technique is vicious and cunning, Nick's glass slash opens and closes, and the two completely different knife techniques collide fiercely on the city wall, and sparks fly everywhere. The aura was so powerful that it seemed that even the entire city wall was shaken.
Seeing that Nick and Rattlesnake were in a difficult fight, Finks shouted, "Cut those archers!" ”
When the Red Pavilion soldiers received the order, they immediately brandished their swords and rushed towards the group of archers. Those archers had been shooting arrows for a long time, and their physical strength was already exhausted, and they were killed in chaos as soon as they engaged. There are various forms of throwing away bows and arrows, holding their heads and running around, and falling to the ground and pretending to be dead, but they do not continue to fight.
