Chapter 19: Defending Locke Town (5)
Heavy dark clouds gradually drifted away from above, and the sun once again sprinkled on the earth, everywhere on the battlefield.
The sun is selfless and fair, whether it is a bandit from the Pale Mountains or a mercenary who guards Locke Town with his life, whether it is a dead person or a living person, all of them are shrouded in its illumination, but the body of the dead is cold and stiff, and many living people don't seem to feel a trace of warmth.
The battle continues.
After the previous rounds of arrow rain and the baptism of 3 second-order professionals, the number of bandits has plummeted to less than 20 people, and they can no longer have an advantage in numbers, but the hearts of the mercenaries are still very heavy, and the pressure not only comes from the two strong men at the front, one tall and one short, but also from the five riders who are still silent at the back of the enemy.
The short man is a second-order assassin class, and the fence more than one meter high can't stop his movements at all, so he jumps directly into the position, his figure begins to twist, and he can immediately hide and kill wildly, but a long sword lightning strikes him and he has to dodge half a step back.
The knight girl struck out in time to break the opponent's intention to emulate Creek's tactics, and her Bauhinia swordsmanship was light and dexterous, just enough to restrain the opponent's means, but the level of the short man was obviously higher than hers, so the two fought equally.
If, purely in terms of professional characteristics, a knight is born with the ability to suppress assassin opponents, if she completes her travels and is awarded the title of official knight one step earlier, she has the ability to learn the "primary true vision", then she may be able to force the opponent back or even kill them quickly on the battlefield at this moment.
The Knight Maiden was not depressed by this, she focused on fighting, and every covert attack of her opponent was sensed and successfully intercepted by her in advance.
And Poma is on the front line, and his direct opponent is a tall strong man, who is also a warrior-type second-order professional, tall and strong, the important parts of his body are covered by thick leather, and the intertwined muscles are exposed from the large gaps, showing explosive power.
Visually, Poma is two sizes smaller, but his body contains the same power, and he is not blinded by hatred in the face of the enemy who seriously injured his brother, and a long sword in his hand is wide open, not only to resist the attack of the tall man from the front, but also to constantly take time to help the nearby mercenaries.
Thankfully, he helped, because even though there were fewer mercenaries in number, the bandits still didn't care. They are fierce and brutal in their fighting, and they have the strength of first-order professionals, but they act like civilians who don't know the rules, no, they are beasts—even more vicious than beasts.
The fence could only withstand the onslaught of the riders, but it could not stop the bandits from climbing from above, wielding a variety of weapons in one hand and climbing over the fence with one hand. A bandit's weapon was blocked, he didn't care about the gap exposed in front of him, just threw himself in front of the opponent, the mercenary's long sword turned back and cut his abdomen horizontally, and the intestines could almost be seen flowing out of the blood splash, but the bandit didn't look at it, it didn't seem to even feel pain, and grabbed the mercenary's neck with a cruel smile.
The mercenary's breath was short, and he struggled to poke his weapon into the opponent's body, but the pressure from his neck finally made his strength disappear, and he fell to the ground with the enemy with an incredible expression.
The same situation happens everywhere, often the two sides of the battle are entangled and die together, even against two or three opponents, the bandits will shout and want to drag an opponent before dying, the defender's formation is a little loose for a while, if it were not for the impact of Sophia's divine blessing praying again, it is estimated that it will be close to morale collapse, even so, such a tragic life-for-life play makes the mercenaries' movements begin to stiffen.
"Cooperate with each other! If you don't want to die, implement your tactics! Don't be distracted by their stupid suicide!" Captain Poma's breath began to hurry, and he barely took a heavy slash from the tall strong man, and with a sword in his hand, he slashed the bandit who wanted to pass by, and the bright red blood splashed on his body almost became a bloody man, but his angry shout also reminded everyone.
So the panicked crowd slowly stabilized, and the archers on the left no longer blindly consumed arrows, but continued to pull the bowstring under the protection of the mercenaries who came to their senses, shooting long arrows from the gaps in the crowd into the bodies of the enemies who were close to their comrades, and even nailed them to the fence, and then several long swords immediately slashed across to split the bodies of the enemies who had not yet died.
But the battle situation on the other side is not optimistic, the militia is the weakest link, originally had the protection of Katarina, but at this moment the knight girl is fighting with the short man, and the fledgling militia has no combat experience of the mercenaries, and for a while did not block the opponent's attack, and was successfully climbed over the fence by several bandits, and started killing with a cruel smile.
Almost instantly, four militiamen were thrown to the ground by the bandits, one of whom was bitten on the neck, and the enemy, a thin and pale bandit, acted as if he was swallowing something, and when he looked up again, bright red blood was running down the corners of his mouth.
"Vampire's evil minions!" exclaimed a mercenary who realized that something was wrong here and wanted to come to his aid.
Vampires are one of the important forces that constitute the Council of the Dark Realm, ancient and mysterious, and their strength is so strong that they can fight against a medium human kingdom alone, and one of the most basic combat power of the vampire force is the evil servant, and the lowest strength is equivalent to the high-level adventurers in the human race, but the dark kingdom is thousands of miles away from the southeast of the Pale Mountains, how can an evil servant appear here, is it possible that the dark kingdom is going to launch a battle against the human race.
At the thought of this possibility, almost everyone present shuddered.
"That's not an evil minion, just an ordinary bandit attacked by the power of a vampire, don't be afraid!"
"Holy Strike!" Caterina dodged the assassin's thrust, then swung her sword to condense a silvery-white light, and she pointed her sword forward, and the light flew into the body of the bandit who had just finished sucking human blood.
The bandit's body twitched strangely, he had ignored the pain and death, but now he seemed to be suffering unbearable pain and let out a strange sound of "ho-ho", and then his body began to expand, and the white light came out of his body and then exploded into countless pieces.
The fourth-order profession of the knight's road is "paladin", which will have a considerable amount of power bonus against dark creatures, and although Caterina is only a second-order ordinary knight at this moment, she can also initially master a very small part of the combat magic art, and this blow is a move against dark creatures.
However, the Holy Strike technique also consumed a lot of her mental power, and the short and strong man seized the opportunity to quickly approach from the side and back, and the dagger turned into several afterimages and stabbed towards Katarina, which was the "phantom attack" of a high-level assassin!
Sophia's voice sounded in time, and the armor of faith immediately condensed and formed on Katarina's body, but after all, it was only the magic of the apprentice priest, and after blocking most of the attack, it shattered into a faint spot of light, and there was still an attack that slashed through the light armor of the knight girl. Although the blow was exhausted, it only broke through the outer layer and did not hurt the body, but the strength of the opponent was extraordinary after all, and the power that came out of the blade pierced through the protection of the light armor and hit Caterina in the ribs, causing the knight girl's brow to furrow—she was obviously slightly injured. Thankfully, this did not stop her from fighting, as Caterina seized the opportunity and threw her elbow at her opponent, hitting the assassin in the shoulder before he had time to retreat, causing a more severe "click" to the opponent.
"Three people in a group, guarding each other, two people are mainly responsible for attacking, one person is responsible for defense, are the tactics I taught you all eaten by dogs!"
After dealing with the crisis, the knight girl reprimanded angrily, and immediately entangled with the assassins again, leaving no time to pay attention to the militia for the time being.
Although the militia members were very flustered, but when they saw the "stern teacher" injured in order to save people, and heard the familiar scolding, their courage came from nowhere, and the training content that they had long forgotten appeared in their minds again.
The battle situation is very stalemate, every moment there is a life gone, Sophia's magic can no longer take care of the whole audience, she has begun to gasp slightly, sweat along her beautiful face to her jaw, and then drip down.
Tip, the first time you open the team framework, please customize the team members. ”
As soon as Li Ang stopped wondering about the origin of the number of templates and turned his attention back, he found that the battle had reached an extremely cruel stage, he wanted to support but was afraid that he would not be able to take care of the safety of Sophia's side, and at the moment of dilemma, he found that the green font appeared in the field of vision again, and he seized the time to silently recite a few names.
"Katerina, Sophia, Poma...... Santan. ”
Due to the limitation of experience acquisition, except for the two girls and the strongest combat power, he had to choose a familiar person with a good impression, which was enough to meet the upper limit of the number of team members.
Tips, Resource Acquisition, Team Building, 5...... 4......”
Looking at the countdown numbers, for some reason an excited feeling spread around his body, and Leon imprinted the scenes on the battlefield in his mind one by one through the green light curtain.
"No one ran away even when the battle was so brutal, because there was no point in running away...... And I, since I have inherited Leon's body and soul, I have been inextricably linked with the world.
The mysterious enemy who destroyed the Redfield family doesn't know where to hide, Campbell can be said to have no safe place, even if I want to adapt to the environment step by step and improve my strength, the enemy will not be able to leave me a long period of leisurely time, I have had enough of four years in a hospital bed, and I have had enough of four years of boredom and waiting for death, so ...... Love to fight to win, don't you? This is the right time, the right place, and it will be a test for me to escape from my fate, I have already died once, and now it is only at the cost of life and death again. I had done nothing in my previous life, and now I have the opportunity to re-embark on the fateful moment, not only to live, but also to live wonderfully, not to mention...... I came with a bug. ”
