Section 34 Ambush
"Master, they're approaching!" warned Carrie again. "And that kind of biological character...... It's acquaintances. ”
"Acquaintances?"
"I've deciphered the characteristics of several of them, and you were among the pursuers when Oron was wounded and fled. ”
It turned out to be a member of the church. The Blood Banner Boss settled down and looked around carefully again.
This is a short distance from the Greenskin Camp in the mountains, or specifically, at the top of a small hillside. This hillside was overgrown with grass and trees, with a large number of shrubs and dwarf trees, but the top of the hill where the Blood Banner Boss was at the moment was a relatively open flat land, with no trees and weeds no more than knee-high.
These mysterious trackers are also hiding in the bushes. Although the Blood Banner Boss has a good dark vision, he can't see through after all, and at the same time, the wind around him is also very strong, and the branches are blown and shaken, so he can only rely on Carrie to determine the enemy's position for a while.
"Hosts, they are spreading out and surrounding you from all sides. Carrie prompted in her mind, but the Blood Banner Boss was unmoved. When he was in Oren, he could only escape, but now it is no longer the case.
"I see, it turns out that it was the spies of the church who infiltrated today...... I guess the Shem people invited me here. Summing up what had just happened, he immediately understood what was happening. These are undoubtedly the same people who infiltrated the Green Skins camp tonight and caused a riot. They don't know how to avoid Scrooge's pursuit, and then they happen to run into themselves.
Then, the group of church guys want to take out their anger on him or simply want to catch a live green skin and go back to interrogate. So that's how it came to keep up.
"Carrie, I'll do the rest. He ordered in a whisper in his head.
The Blood Banner Boss stood calmly in the middle of the clearing. It would be difficult for him to spot the trackers hiding far away in the bushes, but if they wanted to attack him, they had to come to the flat land. As long as they didn't have the magical color-changing ability of the half-beasts, it would be impossible for them to hide themselves anymore.
In the wind, there was a subtle rustling sound. The Blood Banner Boss turned around and saw that a man had emerged from the darkness. Then, the second and third came out of the bushes. Three men approached him from three directions, each dressed in fine knightly armor and armed with weapons.
However, the Blood Banner Boss immediately understood that these three were not ordinary people. It wasn't because of Carrie's warning (because Carrie didn't speak), but he instinctively felt it now. But if you want to say what is not ordinary, you can't say it. In terms of appearance, these three people are no different from ordinary knights. If there's any difference, it's that their weapons aren't quite normal.
The knight behind him was the first to make a move.
The knight had an awkward dagger in his hand—one in each hand. As we all know, the biggest use of the short sword is that it is easy to carry and can be taken by surprise. But in a really face-to-face prepared battle, the one who chooses the short sword is a fool. The length of the weapon determines that the dagger will definitely not be able to fight those real battlefield weapons.
However, the knight did not rush up with his sword to stab, but threw the short sword directly.
The Blood Banner Boss raised his sword, and with a crisp metallic sound, the thrown short sword was knocked away. Then his sword slashed to block the second flying sword by a fraction of a second. Just now, at the moment when he raised his sword to block the grid, the knight threw out his second sword, and the movement was so subtle that it was almost like the best assassin. But, just like the Assassins, this attack was powerful, but it was only a single blow. Immediately after the fatal blow, the knight lost his weapon and turned to his bare hands. Until he retrieves his weapon, he can no longer pose a threat.
The Blood Banner Boss turned his attention to the other two knights who hadn't done it yet. To his surprise, the two knights were only watching, and did not take the opportunity to attack. A hint of alarm appeared in the Blood Banner Boss's heart, his feet turned half a circle, and the long sword blocked left and right, knocking the two short swords thrown into the air again.
Then he noticed that the knight already had two more daggers in his hand. This is not that there are a lot of short swords hidden on his body, but that the two short swords that were knocked away directly "returned" to his hands.
"Carrie, what's going on?" the Blood Banner Boss asked in his mind.
"Master, this is the effect of biochemical modification. He has a biochip on his wrist that vibrates in tune with those two short swords......"
The Blood Banner Boss didn't understand, but he remembered that Carrie had mentioned this "biochemical modification" a long time ago. But at this moment, he is really not in a good position to pursue this small detail, because the other two opponents have already rushed forward.
Perrin hid behind a bush of trees, carefully watching the battle between the Greenskin Boss and his three men. And Rohr was by his side—since the almost infighting that day, he had kept the uneasiness in the team within the limits of his control. Rohr still had a little respect for him—though that was a matter of course.
It's unclear why he was so cautious and didn't let all his men rush up to kill the greenskin. But what was happening in front of him seemed to show that he didn't have to be so cautious at all. Everyone says that the green-skinned boss is very strong, and that's because everyone knows that every green-skinned boss is a strong man who has experienced a hundred battles and won countless victories. But right now, it doesn't seem like this boss is very good. The Greenskin Boss was entangled by three Holy Knights at this time. The two knights flanked left and right, and the third used a flying sword to contain the threat, and with the three of them joining forces, the greenskin boss couldn't even get out of the fight.
Perrin even felt that these three subordinates were almost enough to deal with this orc. He even wondered if he had made a mistake. Because the greenskin is similar in the eyes of humans—just as humans are in the eyes of greenskins—they all look the same, and the only thing that distinguishes the identity of the other party is the sword, and the greenskin with a sword is really rare.
"Rohr, send a signal, let's get on the band, kill this guy. Perrin ordered. It's easy to deal with this green skin, far easier than expected, it must be the protection of the gods. Perrin didn't even bother to take action herself.
"Your Excellency, do you want your three men to die so soon?" Rohr asked with a squinted eye.
"Death, what do you mean by that?" Perrin looked back at the battle, and the three holy knights were still besieging Greenskin, sticking tightly. And the green-skinned boss has never been able to break out of the encirclement. In a word, although it seems to be evenly matched at the moment, after a long time, the Holy Knights will definitely have the advantage.
"I mean, as soon as I signal, everybody will rush out. But before we can get there, the Greenskins will slaughter the three pieces of waste. Of course, I don't mind if there are three less pieces of waste in the world. ”
"What?" Rohr's judgment stunned Perrin for a moment.
"That green-skinned boss knows that there are other enemies lurking here, so he's been deliberately delaying the battle. Rohr said in a nonchalant tone. "He could have slaughtered those three pieces of waste a long time ago, but he deliberately didn't do it, and the purpose should have been to lure us out. If you don't believe me, you see, and in a few minutes, the green-skinned boss will definitely step up his offensive and force those three wastes into a hurry to force us out. ”
Perrin was stunned, but decided to wait a little longer. Unfortunately, Rohr's words seem to be true. After a short while, the battle situation that was evenly matched just now suddenly changed completely. The Blood Banner Boss suddenly increased his speed, and suddenly he had an overwhelming advantage, and the three Holy Knights were beaten dangerously by the Greenskin Boss, and they almost lost their lives under the sword several times.
"Master, it's time for your armor to be adjusted. You're going to lose your current appearance and become your original self soon, do you need me to give you illusion cover?" Carrie snapped.
"It doesn't matter, forget it, just use illusion. ”
Speaking of which, for so long, there really hasn't been a time when Carrie has a backup illusion. It's also a good idea to try it out once in a while.
"Luoer, what should I do?" Seeing that the three subordinates were in crisis, even if Perrin was no longer happy, he could only ask Luoer for advice.
"The best way to do this is for you to attack with a bow and arrow, covering the retreat of those three wastes. Then let everyone press it together. Of course, with that bunch of garbage, I can't guarantee that I'll win. ”
As Rohr spoke, Perrin watched nervously at the battle in the distance, so he didn't notice the excited look on Rohr's face, and the snow-white teeth that were slightly open like carnivores.
The Blood Banner Boss continued to exert pressure methodically, and those who were still hiding in the dark were not going to watch their companions die, right? Just as he swung his sword and forced the three enemies back one by one, and the two sides separated their bodies, a beam of light suddenly appeared in the darkness in the distance.
The Blood Banner Boss dodged in time. The arrows of magic literally flew past his body. The arrow of light, which was made purely of energy, hit a stone not far away, burying it deep into the stone.
This kind of arrow, which is completely condensed by magical energy, is really familiar.
There is no time to sigh, because immediately it is the second arrow, the third arrow...... Several arrows in succession forced him back. When the last arrow came, the Blood Banner Boss did not dodge, but directly used his sword to smash the energy arrow. Only this time he miscalculated, and the shattered energy arrow did not disappear immediately as expected, but a small explosion occurred. Although it was not to the point of hurting people, the magic that maintained the figure of the Blood Banner Boss disappeared with this energy impact. Ashrufat showed his true colors.
This illusion is really useless. Now Ashruphat understood why Carrie would advise her to stay away from the camp and spend the three hours. This kind of unreliable illusion, it is better not to use it or try not to use it.
In this short time, the three holy knights had retreated to a safe distance, and all the ambushers had popped up. There were a few more than expected. And in the direction where the magic arrow came from, a familiar face appeared.
"It's Knight Perran. "Ashrufat has shown his true colors, so he doesn't care about disguise. He looked at the Holy Knight with whom he had once had a relationship, and let out a sneer. "Long time no see. ”
Perrin also stared at the other party, his impression of Ashrufat was much thinner, in fact, if it weren't for Ashrufat calling out his name and using the title of "knight", he really wouldn't have recognized the other party.
"It's you, Ashrufat?!" Perrin recognized the green-skinned human in disguise.
