Chapter 367: Key Elements
"Push the cart over, form a circle, and everyone enters the circle!"
The leader of the knights shouted loudly, if it is a large number of demonic beasts, it may not all be second-order demonic beasts, but it will definitely bring a large number of first-order demonic beasts, and maybe there will be many ordinary beasts will also participate in the attack.
If the number of second-order demonic beasts did not exceed ten, the cooperation of five knights and two priests would not be too much of a problem, but if there were too many other first-order demonic beasts and ordinary beasts, they would not be able to protect those townspeople and private soldiers.
The townsfolk began to busily gather the carts together in a circle, with the two priests in the middle, and the twenty private soldiers under the command of the knights, guarding the inside of the circle, so that at least they would not worry about the attack of ordinary beasts.
Fang Rui listened for a while again, and said affirmatively: "There are at least hundreds, as for how many demonic beasts there are, I can't hear them." ”
The knight leader nodded, and when he heard this number, he was relieved - it was impossible for hundreds of demonic beasts to gather together, and most of them should be ordinary beasts.
"You fast forward to the circle, we're protecting outside. "The knight leader is Rui Dao.
Fang Rui agreed, and quickly jumped into the circle formation.
Another knight lifted the canvas from a large cart, revealing dozens of spears on it.
"One for each person, if you see a beast or a monster pounce on you, just stab it. ”
The knights had little combat experience, but they were well prepared, and at least the spears would allow the townsfolk to be armed and help in the ensuing contact.
The heavy spear in his hand also brought a sense of security to the townspeople.
The priest began to chant spells, and a soft light spread out in all directions, enveloping the entire circle and protecting the private soldiers and townsfolk inside.
"Now, except for second-order demonic beasts, it is very difficult for even first-order demonic beasts to break through this barrier...... When they pounce, don't be afraid, seize the opportunity and stab them with a spear! These are spears that have been refined by the Holy Light, and they are very useful for destroying evil spirits. ”
A priest said that his words had given the townspeople more courage.
The other priest looked at Fang Rui: "Why don't you take the spear?"
Fang Rui had already stretched out his bow and arrows in his hand: "I can only shoot arrows...... Even if you can't deal with those monsters, at least you can deal with those beasts well. ”
Everyone had seen Fang Rui's archery skills, and they were able to shoot a leopard to death in such a short period of time, Fang Rui's words were really not bragging.
The priest pondered for a moment, then said, "Show me your bow and arrows." ”
Fang Rui was stunned for a moment, then let go of the string and handed over the bow and arrows.
The priest took the bow and arrow, muttered a few words silently, and a powerful holy light appeared on his thin hand.
The holy light began to envelop the bow and arrows, and soon, both the bow and the arrows rippled with a layer of silver light.
After doing this, the priest's face began to look tired, he handed the bow and arrow to Fang Rui, and then said in a deep voice: "Now that your bow and arrow can injure those first-order demonic beasts, kill those guys from a distance." ”
The private soldiers showed envious expressions again--weapons blessed by the priests! In the hands of mortals, they were all holy relics! Especially the bows and arrows that could injure first-order demonic beasts, with this set of bows and arrows, Fang Rui would be able to achieve some prestige even if he was a mercenary!
"This kid, how can he have such good luck!"
Many of the private soldiers began to mumble, but they also knew that now that they were surrounded by so many magical beasts, Fang Rui's bow and arrow was the only long-range weapon among all the people present, so it would naturally be favored by the knights and priests.
"Ready, they're approaching!"
The knight leader said in a deep voice.
The sound of dense footsteps became clearer and clearer, and soon, countless beasts emerged from the dense forest on the side of the road!
"Three second-order demonic beasts...... There are more than twenty first-order demonic beasts, and the others are all ordinary beasts, which is okay. ”
The knight chief breathed a sigh of relief.
At this moment, the three demonic beasts, which were obviously larger in size, stopped their progress and instead caused the other demonic beasts and beasts to rush wildly towards the circle formation.
"Let's retreat first. ”
The knight leader beckoned, and the knights also retreated into the circle first.
At this time, Fang Rui made a move.
The hunting bow that had been blessed by the holy power emitted a faint silver gas, and a silver light swept through the arrow, and as Fang Rui let go of the hand that drew the bow, it shot out quickly!
A miserable scream sounded, and the left eye of a first-order demonic beast was directly pierced by this arrow, and the arrow penetrated into the brain, and it immediately fell to the ground and died!
"Well done!"
The townspeople cheered in unison, although they had been blessed, but after all, the arrow body was made of ordinary bamboo, if it was only shot on the skin of the demonic beast, it would be useless at all, but if it was accurately shot into the eye of the demonic beast, it would cause the result of killing a first-order demonic beast with one arrow!
Even the priests looked appreciative.
This arrow made many demonic beasts stop, but in the roar of the three second-order demonic beasts behind them, they rushed over again.
Fang Rui was aiming carefully again, and when the Warcraft army rushed halfway, it was launched again, and another Warcraft fell to the ground and died, also with an arrow into his head!
It's just that there are hundreds of ordinary beasts, more than twenty first-order demonic beasts, and even if two die, there are still a lot of them.
They quickly approached the circle, and then roared and jumped, trying to jump into the circle.
The first demonic beast to approach collided with the invisible barrier, and the priests did not move, while this demonic beast was stuck on the barrier and could not move.
"Now, Thorn!" one of the knights roared.
A few privates and a few townsfolk mustered up their courage, roared, and stabbed their spears out!
Although the untrained townsfolk were stabbed in a mess, and a few spears collided with each other in the process of stabbing out and stabbed into the air, the remaining spears still pierced deep into the beast's body, causing it to let out a terrible howl.
The two privates wielded their heavy swords and cut off the beast's head - they were better than the townsfolk in this regard.
Seeing that they could still support it, the knights were relieved, and after slashing down several first-order demonic beasts at the same time, the knight leader roared twice, and the five knights jumped up at the same time, crossed the distance of dozens of zhang, and jumped directly in front of the three second-order demonic beasts!
Two of the knights entangled the two second-order demonic beasts, while the remaining two, under the leadership of the knight leader, attacked the remaining second-order demonic beasts.
Although they had little experience, studying at the Knight Academy allowed these knights to adopt the most effective method, using superior forces to first destroy part of the opponent's strength, and then form an absolute advantage.
The pounces of other demonic beasts are still continuing.
The holy light emitted from the two priests became more and more intense, like a viscous liquid, and the demonic beasts would be stuck when they pounced, and then they would be killed by the townsfolk and private soldiers who were getting more and more comfortable.
It's just that this kind of practice has also brought extremely huge pressure to the priests, their faces are getting paler and paler, and the holy light released is not as stable as before.
Fang Rui was still shooting arrows, his shooting speed was not fast, but as long as he shot an arrow, he could kill a demonic beast.
Now it depends on whether the knights kill those second-order demonic beasts first, or the priests can't support it first - if the priests can't support it first, they are rushed into the circle by the demonic beasts and slaughtered, even if the knights kill the remaining demonic beasts, they can't recover the loss of the two priests!
However, the second-order demonic beast that was besieged by the three knights dragged the knights to death, making it impossible for them to fight quickly.
"Hell, we're running out of this...... the priest groaned.
Fang Rui gritted his teeth, and suddenly picked up a slender long sword from the cart.
This is also one of the weapons brought out by the knights, but in this case, it is obviously the spear that is more useful, so these long swords are not used.
He put the long sword on his bow, and then Fang Rui pulled the string hard and shot the long sword out!
He wasn't shooting the demonic beasts besieging the circle, but the second-order demonic beasts that were fighting against the three knights!
The attention of the second-order demonic beast was all on the knight, and he didn't notice Fang Rui's ruthless blow at all.
When it opened its mouth wide and roared, Fang Rui's long sword shot out of it accurately stabbed into its mouth.
The second-order demonic beast let out a miserable scream, and was cut into more than a dozen pieces by the knight who attacked on the spot, and died tragically on the spot.
There was no time to breathe, the two knights separated and went with their companions to besiege the remaining two demonic beasts, and the knight leader jumped back, and when the shield was about to break, the heavy sword swung continuously, killing all the first-order demonic beasts that were about to rush into the circle!
This is the most critical moment.
If the monster is not killed in time, and the knight leader fails to come back, the shattered shield can no longer protect everyone, and even ordinary beasts can form a slaughter.
However, Fang Rui's timely arrow solved all the problems.
The other four knights who had made up their minds began to storm the remaining two second-order demonic beasts, and the knight leader took over the responsibility of protecting the others, and with his strength, there was no big problem in dealing with the remaining less than ten first-order demonic beasts and those ordinary beasts.
Fang Rui's arrows were still shooting one by one, and when all the demonic beasts fell to the ground, all the private soldiers and townspeople collapsed to the ground, gasping loudly.
The knights were fine, but they were covered in blood.
For these knights with little battlefield experience, such a fight would be a great asset for them.
After counting the number of people, there were no deaths, but in the later melee, a few private soldiers were bitten by wild beasts, which was not a big deal.
Then everyone was stunned to find that if you count the second-order demonic beast that was shot by Fang Rui with a sword as an arrow, in this encounter, the one who had the greatest credit was actually Fang Rui......
One second-order demonic beast, eleven first-order demonic beasts, this is Fang Rui's achievement.
"Well done, Andrey. ”
The knight leader's eyes began to become gentle when he looked at Fang Rui: "You are so good at it, and you have such pure faith, I think I can recommend you to go to the knight school!"
The bow and arrow that had been blessed by the priest could completely display the power, which was enough to prove that Fang Rui had a good acceptance of the holy power.
This can only prove one thing in the Holy Realm, and that is that this person has a fairly pure faith.
Fang Rui snickered in his heart, of course he had pure faith - after all, he had fused some of Cain's abilities, although Cain was a rebel of the Holy Realm at this time, but he was an authentic Saint Realm origin!
With some of Cain's abilities, Fang Rui naturally seemed to have pure faith!
"Alright, let's go back! Today's battle is estimated to be able to protect the peace of Green Town for a long time!" the knight leader waved his hand and said loudly.
