Chapter 44, The Siege
The horned demon stretched his hands down, and his five-meter-tall body stood up from the mud again, and the pair of red eyes the size of the lantern looked left and right, only to realize that the weapon had been stolen, and couldn't help but let out an angry roar, and pulled his legs and chased after the little man who was running wildly with a giant axe.
Despite the Horned Demon's slow movements, it was tall, one step was equivalent to more than ten steps for Herman, and its straight-line speed was not bad at all. Moreover, Herman weighed thousands of pounds, and it was difficult to walk an inch in this field mixed with mud, blood, and melting snow, and with each step, he would step into knee-deep pits, and it would be especially difficult to pull his legs out. Originally, it could run 300 meters in ten seconds, but now it will run out about 50 meters, and the horned demon will be behind him in three or two steps, and the mud quagmire will have no effect on its tall and infinitely powerful body, as if it is walking on the ground.
The Horned Demon walked on his feet, and as he approached Herman, he reached down and bent down to grab his weapon. If it gets his hands on it, Herman is afraid that he will be picked up and thrown off the battlefield.
Herman, who rushed forward with his head covered, also sensed the danger as if he had eyes behind him, and was about to stop and use the Stardust Skyfall again, although he still couldn't kill this monster, and he would fall into a state of exhaustion, but it was better than being re-taken by this horned demon to get the axe and kill the Quartet again.
Herman has always been a team player, but he forgets that he is not alone.
Even if Pilsen was wise Herman rushed up quite unwisely, he still followed without hesitation, and the speed was even faster than Herman, I don't know how much. The moment the Horned Demon caught up, he had already turned into a pale yellow figure and swept past Herman, heading straight for the Horned Demon......
"You keep running, and I'll give this monster to me."
Pilson's tone was indifferent, and there was a strong sense of confidence that he could handle it.
Looking at the horned demon with four corners on the top of his head, long mouth and fangs, and his body pounced forward, Pilsen casually pulled the three-hundred-pound knight's sword into a sword flower, and the earthly fighting spirit erupted from his body, and the majestic surge made Herman only feel that there was an extra mountain behind him to protect him.
(It seems that without weapons, the threat of the Horned Demon to the high-level source knights has been greatly reduced.) )
The thought flashed through his mind, and Herman continued to run behind without looking back.
Behind him, Pilson's face was calm, his feet staggered back and forth, like an old tree standing on the ground, steady as a rock. The horned demon turned his claws into fists and threw all his strength down, his eyes remained unchanged, not even his eyebrows trembled in the slightest, and he leisurely placed the knight's sword horizontally on his left hand, and the whirlpool of fighting qi in his heart rotated, and the pale yellow light cast Pilsen into a golden man.
The huge fist fell on Pilson in a blink of an eye, and the other party did not move, and the mud under his feet did not know when it became dry and cemented into a hard earth, as if he had become one with the earth. Resisting a punch with a force of 10,000 pounds, Pilson not only had no different color on his face, but the horned demon was shocked back several steps by the force of the shock.
"Hmph, without weapons, what is there to fear about you monster?" Pilsen sneered.
This kind of monster with brute force, no fighting spirit, and no fighting skills is nothing more than a knight's plaything after the sharp and terrible giant axe.
The Horned Demon was ignorant and unaware of Pilson's taunts, and in its few consciousnesses, there were only two things: weapons and destruction. As soon as it stood firm, it immediately continued to rush forward, trying to retrieve its own weapon.
One person and one monster fought together again, but it was a pity that Pilson was an earth-based fighting spirit, and the attack power of his cultivation fighting skills was not strong, so he could fight hard with the horned demon, but it was extremely difficult to break through the thick stratum cuticle on its body, even if it was a knight's sword made of Crow's alloy, it could only leave a white mark on it.
The Stepping Moss Lizard ran back to Herman, but he didn't dare to ride it at all, because although the Stepping Moss Lizard was a magical beast, it might not have enough weight-bearing capacity.
After running for a while, Herman finally stopped, and just as he was thinking about what to do with the big axe, a green phantom came running from behind him - after a simple treatment from the wizard, Morey was able to continue the fight again, and he also brought the antidote from the wizard.
The strong man's eyes lit up as soon as he saw what was on Herman's shoulder, and he was shocked: "I'm ...... Good brother, how the hell did you do that? I thought you two would be reluctant just to pull that monster, so I just treated it and ran back right away. I didn't expect you to be able to snatch that monster's weapon, how the hell did you do that? Worthy of a guy who can survive the hands of the gifted witch......"
Herman said angrily: "Stop being long-winded, go and help Pilsen, he may be besieged at any time now." ”
Morey smiled and said, "Okay, you can do it yourself, I'll go over first, and then thank you brother when I go back." After saying that, a gust of wind left.
Herman stopped where he was, and simply lowered the axe, which was exaggerated. If he hadn't used Stardust Skyfall and Raptor's tail swing just now, he would have been able to pick up this giant axe with the strength of his hands, and maybe he could try to use it as a weapon, but now he was sore, and the effects of the golden python potion had all been consumed, and both the fighting energy and the physical energy in his body were extremely weak, and now if there was another intermediate source knight who had cultivated the bone-level fighting qi containment method, Herman would only have the right to run away, and if it was a high-level source knight, he could only take the risk of calling for the help of the goddess.
But fortunately, the power he had just now had full impact, even if he was standing in place and resting, no blind Vault Dweller would dare to come up and provoke or sneak attack, after all, there were almost no people in the entire battlefield who could knock over a four-cornered monster with one move.
At this point, the crisis of the 1st Squadron was resolved.
But I don't know if it was because Herman's performance was too bright, many ordinary Vault Dwellers who were originally fighting in the area of the first squadron unconsciously fought and retreated, and squeezed towards the second squadron, and the pressure on Thomas's men and horses doubled, and the casualty rate also rose in a straight line. The officers of the second squadron immediately began to call for help to the first squadron, but unfortunately Morey and Pilson were deaf to the horned demon as if they were all involved, and they coped with it "with difficulty", and the other squad leaders were also dissatisfied with the second squadron, as long as they did not see a large-scale rout on the battle line, they did not help at all.
In this way, the two sides fought hard for three hours, and finally, the castle on the Castlevania side suddenly sounded the horn.
(It's over?) )
Just as Herman was relaxing, he heard Morey shouting at him with a solemn expression: "Herman be careful, these monsters are going to die, and there will be many strong people who will come to grab the axe." After speaking, he said loudly to everyone with a fighting spirit, "All the knights of the first squadron are moving closer to Herman to prevent the enemy from raiding. ”
Before Herman could react, the goddess also reminded at the same time: "At least five high-level source knights are coming towards you, be careful, one of them is still a gifted wizard." ”
Herman was horrified: "What is this axe, how can so many people grab it?" ”
A wonderful force stretched to the giant axe under his feet, and after a moment the goddess gave the answer: "There is a low-grade alloy in the axe, the proportion accounts for thirty percent, this alloy is an alchemical work, converted by the contribution value of the wizarding society, it is worth 30,000 contributions. ”
30,000 contribution points, six feats?
"Holy."
Herman's eyes changed suddenly, his eyes were red like a hungry wolf protecting food, and he had no idea of backing down even in the face of so many strong people.
30,000 contribution value, that's his salary for a few years, it's worth fighting. Most of the Vault Dwellers have already evacuated, and all the knights of the first squadron are leaning towards him, only Herman survived the first round of attacks, and the 30,000 contribution points are in hand, which is more earning than killing an earth knight, no wonder so many strong men in Castlevania have to drill into the wolf's den even if they have begun to retreat.
The high-level source knights were extremely fast, bursting out three points faster than the moss-stepping lizards, and when they suddenly abandoned their opponents and ran towards Herman, Morey didn't even have time to order protection. Among them, the Wanderer of Demon and Martial Arts Dual Cultivation was even more exaggerated, when the five of them approached Herman, he even directly instantly sent a third-level magic, erecting four huge walls of fire around Herman that were one meter wide, ten meters long, and three meters high, completely isolating him from the others.
The temperature of this wall of fire was extremely terrifying, and even the source knight did not dare to approach it easily.
"Holy!" Herman's face changed, and he couldn't help but feel apprehensive when he looked at the five people in front of him whose aura was completely better than his own.
"Fight!" As soon as he gritted his teeth, he recovered seventy or eighty percent of his fighting spirit and once again followed some mysterious path, and Herman's right hand burst out with a raging black fire, and slowly raised it.
"Captain."
The movement outside was invisible, and the hearts of everyone in the eighth squad sank.
Moore, who had already finished the fight, gritted his teeth and drew the last arrow from the quiver behind his back. This arrow is different from ordinary arrows, and the sharp arrows are engraved with runes that only wizards recognize. With his bow and arrow, he erected the figure he saw at the last second according to the wall of fire, and without thinking about it, he shot an arrow in the direction of the Vault Dweller of the Demon Martial Dual Cultivation.
As soon as the black arrow left the string, energy fluctuations suddenly appeared, but this fluctuation was extremely weak, and it was inconspicuous under the shroud of sky magic......
Morey and Pilson's faces changed in unison, and they also gave up the horned demon at the first time, and let it attack at will, because when Castlevania began to blow the horn of retreat, it meant that the existence of this monster had expired, and even if they didn't deal with it, this monster would not exist for a few minutes.
Compared to the damage caused by this monster, the two were more concerned about Herman's life and death.
He risked his life to save them, how could he let something happen to him!
Good brother, hold on!
Don't die!
The two high-level source knights rode together, and rushed into the wall of fire like a phantom over a distance of tens of meters.
The flames were extremely violent, and the fighting energy of the two of them was quickly consumed, but they didn't care, their hearts just wanted to cross the wall of fire immediately.
Just as the two of them crossed the rush obstacle to the battlefield, they saw the young man's right hand raised high and smashing down, and the five high-level source knights rushed towards him like a phantom with colorful light, only to see him smash his right hand hard.
Bang!
The earth shakes and the mountains shake!
It was as if a flaming meteorite had fallen from the sky and landed beside Herman, and the shock wave of the boulder landing began to destroy everything around it, and the four tall walls of fire were destroyed in an instant, and a powerful force pushed people out.
The Stardust Skyfall is destroying everything, but the high-level source knight is worthy of being a high-level source knight, even if Herman has already made a special move, but these people still gritted their teeth and moved closer to him against the shockwave, and the five strong lights stubbornly withstood Herman's fighting skills.
(Damn, Herman's vindictiveness is too weak, these people are not afraid of him at all...... )
Morey and Pilson's eyes froze, and their fighting spirit was stimulated to the extreme, and they jumped off the moss lizard in unison and pounced towards the two high-level source knights who were closest to each other.
