61. Chop steel
A frightened child will have eyes like a fawn.
At this time, White was standing in the middle of a group of children about his age, and mass panic was not something that a child could resist.
Even if the child has already gone through hardship.
The clothes, which were old but had been cleanly washed by Mrs. Donald and had fine stitches, were now stained and torn out of shape.
His slightly larger head was spinning around in anxiety, his survival instinct making him desperate to gather more information with his senses.
Humanity's thirst for light is largely a panic about the "loss of visual information".
Information, in a sense, is the guarantee of life.
Lan didn't hesitate for a moment, in fact, just seeing that White was safe and sound, his tense nerves felt soothed.
This kid is fine...... It's great.
But at the same time, a more urgent sense of crisis came over me as the two torches moved long.
The child is fine, but the situation is dire!
Lann stood in front of the door of the large wooden cage where White was being held.
These wooden cages are made up of pieces of wood the size of an adult's arm, which are repeatedly bundled and arranged in rows.
Unlike the costume drama cells that Lan En watched when he was a child, the gaps between these wooden stakes couldn't even reach out.
Dense and sturdy.
The wood is the kind that has not been cut for a long time, and it is full of moisture. Even though it can't be compared to steel in terms of hardness, it has excellent toughness, and it is estimated that it will take a while to cut one with a large axe.
The door of the wooden cage was also made of stakes, and the lock was consistent with Mentos's prediction.
For valuable cargo, even cannibals know about the iron locks.
Lan stood in front of the door with his lips pursed, looking at the lock.
He can't pick the lock, but at this point, the person he wants to save is already in front of him, but he is stopped by a lock, which is ridiculous.
So the witcher's left hand hung in the air three or four centimeters away from the lock.
"Igni."
The magic turned into an orange scorching stream, just like Lan En had done to his sword.
The iron lock absorbs a large amount of heat energy in a short period of time, and even emits a high-temperature orange red texture like being in a forge.
Not surprisingly, the little child in the wooden cage began to scream after a moment of silence.
Maybe it's fear, maybe it's the excitement of seeing hope. Either way, it's unrealistic to expect a group of children who are almost scared out of their minds to be quiet at this moment.
White caught a glimpse of the faces of the visitors in the light of the magic, though they looked horrible from the potion.
But there was no doubt that he recognized Lann and was pleasantly surprised!
No matter what Lane becomes, in Little White's heart, he is first and foremost a good person.
White once thought that if he could help Rann gather herbs, maybe they could become friends!
Donna taught him that if he blindly asks or blindly accepts, he cannot be considered friends, because the two are not equal at all.
Only by helping each other can we be called friends.
That's why White wants to help Ran.
The twenty or so people who had been coming towards the prison area first saw the magic fire, and then heard the children's shouts, and immediately understood that the problem of the camp was here.
They shouted for the searcher on the other side to come over and have two bread clips.
White was surprised and shouted "Lane!" ”
But then, the long dragon of firelight quickly approached, and the surprise on his little face quickly turned into panic.
But the panic was only for a moment.
The child, who was not yet ten years old, broke up after a moment.
He rushed out of the pile of children who gave him security.
"Let's go! Lanne! Come on! ”
He rushed straight in front of Lanen, slapping the wooden cage and shouting.
"They're coming! Dozens of people! You're fast, aren't you? I've seen you faster than the wind! You can escape! Now turn around, you can escape! ”
White burst into tears.
He didn't know what fate he would face, but he was still willing to let someone out of danger at this time.
And Lan En was even more anxious than him.
The magic power in his hand is out, and the bolt of the iron lock is much thicker than the blade of the sword.
In an anxious state of mind, trying to heat it up to the point of softening, sweat slid down Lan En's forehead all the way to the tip of his nose.
"Shut up...... Shut up! Save it or not, it's up to me to say! You little kid just squat on the ground and cry daddy and call mom enough! ”
But at this time, Mentos also came out to warn.
"Sir, calm down! You have to do everything in your power to stay calm! The flow of mana in your hands is now on the verge of spiraling out of control! ”
The sound of footsteps in his back was getting closer and closer, and his heart seemed to jump out of his chest.
It's just one step away from taking White! That's it!
Anxiety, fear of failure, fear of the power that defeated Margarita, fear of accidents...... Unstoppable negative emotions are surging like a tide, but at this time, you must stay calm!
Keep your cool magic output!
Lan felt like his brain was going to explode!
With a "sting", the sweat on the tip of the nose dripped directly onto the iron lock, and instantly evaporated into white smoke.
Enough temperature!
With a "poof", Lan En's body bent backwards extremely, and the steel sword was always held up by him.
The muscles on the arms bulged suddenly! The clasp of the armor was instantly taut, and a mournful sound sounded.
"Iron locks...... Don't even try to stop me today! ”
The spine activated instantly, and the steel sword was thrown like a whip by the swordsmanship of the Bear School!
The cold light of that moment overshadowed even the approaching torches.
The blade of the sword cut into the bolt of the iron lock, and the iron lock was roasted into a red iron lock by the high temperature, and even exploded a forged spark under this sword!
Chop steel!
In fact, the structure of the iron lock is similar to that of a solid iron block, and the plate armor a few millimeters thick is not worthy of it in terms of local strength.
But under Lan's angry blow, even the iron was cut alive!
The witcher didn't even have time to catch his breath, he pulled the door open, took White under his arm, and fled south.
The person who wanted to save was already around, but Lan En didn't have the time to sigh at this time.
Two crossbow arrows came from a distance.
The landing point was not Lan's body, but the land in front of him.
If you want to move forward, then take two arrows!
Lan En immediately stopped.
Now he holds a man in one hand and a sword in the other.
In the face of two crossbow arrows, there is no way to use the magic seal, and there is no way to block with one wrist armor and one with a sword.
The group of enemies looks around, but if you take an arrow, the impact action will be over!
But after these two arrows, the witcher also discovered a fact that is by no means optimistic-
"This bunch of guys...... Not a cannibal! ”
It's not nonsense that repeats the conclusions he has already reached, but Lan En discovers that the group of people who are now blocking in front of him are not at the same level as the cannibals in terms of combat quality!
In a nutshell...... They know very well how many people fight too little!
"Hello, mutant!"
A man with a two-handed hammer brandished a hammer and laughed and rushed over.
His actions were completely connected with the two arrows that forced Lan En back!
The witcher didn't even stand still when he landed, and the two-handed war hammer was already smashing horizontally.
The other man with the long sword slashed at Lan En in the side with a single slash.
This angle is very strange, because Lan En's heavy armor will most likely cause the long sword to slide down the armor and not hurt the flesh.
But Lan En's expression was as tense as the sword slashed out, and it was as tense as a heated iron lock.
This sword was not meant to cut Lane...... He wanted to cut off the entire lower body of Little White directly!
With a heavy hammer in front of him and a long sword behind him, Lan En had no choice at all.
He could only throw the little White he had just rescued to his side.
The steel sword of the Xiong School stopped in front of his chest, and with a "poof", the heavy hammer directly hammered Lan En away!
That guy's hammer was swung in a full circle, and he had enough kinetic energy!
The longsword on his back lost White's target, and a large handful of cotton burst out on Lanne's cotton armor cover.
But as Lan En had reckoned, it didn't hurt the flesh.
The wooden stick binding door that had just been pulled open was directly slammed into by Lan En, and there was a "bang".
The rattan and leather that were in charge of binding were broken a lot.
Lan En lay on the ground for a few seconds and couldn't get up.
The chest was hit with a heavy hammer, if it weren't for the school armor, with the interception just now, his sternum stubble would have pierced through the internal organs!
But even so, Lan En opened his mouth on the ground, unable to breathe for a long time.
Blunt blows restrain armor.
