Volume 35 of the New Era Chapter 3 Almost Exposed
Haromon looked around the cannon carefully, and said as he looked at it: "Hmm, there is no magic inscription on the surface, it should not be a magic item." ”
When they heard that it was not a magic item, everyone present breathed a sigh of relief. In the current world, magic is the most mysterious and powerful, and this has been recognized by everyone. Therefore, the Dirk Army had always speculated that Raymond had obtained some kind of powerful magic items, so Renard would bring the magician, in order to resist the possible damage caused by these "magic items".
At this time, when they heard that these things were not magical items, everyone's hearts were half relieved.
But the question arises, since it's not a magic item, what is it, and why would Raymond be like a treasure and not show it easily.
Haromon was also quite interested, and he carefully explored the various places of the cannon, and muttered, "This thing is fixed to the city wall, and the structure is not complicated, and it does not look very delicate. It's strange why the enemy would protect it so closely?"
"What the hell is it for?" said one of the scouts curiously.
Haromon touched his chin and said, "Interesting, this thing seems to be using this iron cylinder to launch something out of the canopy." ”
"Launch?" everyone was stunned.
"Launch what?"
"This iron cylinder is empty, how do you launch it?"
They asked questions, but Haromon didn't know anything about it.
For the sake of safety, Raymond stored the ammunition and gunpowder of the cannon in other places to avoid being affected in the battle, so there were only cannons on the city wall, and Haromon and the others naturally couldn't see it.
Since it is not a magic item, it is impossible for Haromon to guess the function and principle of the cannon, no matter how smart he is. In their eyes, this is just a relatively unique iron cylinder.
"Could this be a bluff on the part of the enemy?" one scout guessed, "Actually, this thing is useless." ”
Another squirmed, "How is that possible?" If it's really used to deceive people, why bother to make such a big thing. ”
Although they didn't know the details of the cannon, a discerning person knew at a glance that it would take a lot of manpower and material resources to create such a thing, and it would not be an overnight effort. I don't know how much steel is needed. Unless Raymond is really full, he will never bluff by making 20 doors in a row.
Magicians are inquisitive people, and although the cannon may seem unusual, Haromon can't help but be drawn to it. There he was looking left and right, as if he wanted to dig deeper.
Unfortunately, this is not a place to do learning, and Haromon wants to get to the bottom of it, but the others are in a hurry.
The leading scout said to Haromon, "Lord Haromon, time is running out. It would be terrible if the enemy detected it, so please plan accordingly. ”
"Ahh Oh, good. Harrow was stunned, and then reluctantly stopped researching.
He took a few steps back with a look of regret and looked at the cannon for a while, as if he wanted to imprint it completely in his mind. The last regretful said: "Okay, let's do it." ”
The scouts on the side had been waiting impatiently, and they were now in danger. I just want to finish the task quickly and evacuate, but I'm not in the mood to accompany Haromon to do research here.
See Harrowmon's approval. At the leader's command, the scouts immediately took out the magic crystals and placed them under each cannon.
Before he arrived, Renard had given orders for Haromon to try to figure out what Raymond was hiding, and if not. and destroy all the cannons. Whether Raymond really has a killer trick or a bluff, this is the most reassuring thing for Renard.
The scouts moved extremely quickly, and they quickly set up the magic crystals. As long as Haromon uses special magic as a guide, he can destroy all the cannons.
The scouts then began to prepare to escort Haromon down the walls. Then detonate these magic crystals.
However, at this moment, the scout, who was in charge of watching the wind and paying attention to the movements of the coalition forces in the valley, suddenly noticed that something was wrong.
Just now, when everyone was studying the cannon, he couldn't help but look back. At this time, he was about to evacuate, and he remembered his duty and quickly turned his head to look at the side of the valley. Fortunately, in the tense atmosphere, no one else noticed his dereliction of duty.
Just as he turned his head, out of the corner of his eye, he seemed to catch a glimpse of a white shadow flashing below, but it disappeared in an instant.
The atmosphere was extremely tense at this point, and he didn't dare to report it indiscriminately and cause chaos, so the scout decided to take a look first.
So he poked his head out and looked under the walls.
Just as he leaned in, he saw a white figure flutter upward, appearing above the scout's head like a ghost.
"Huh?" the scout looked up at the white shadow rising in amazement.
At the same moment, a flash of silver lightning swept through the scout's neck, slashing him.
At this time, the others were all turning their backs to this side and were busy sending Haromon to the city. After slaying the scout, a white shadow in mid-air stepped above his head, and flew out with his strength, charging towards the people of Dirk.
When someone noticed something strange behind him and turned back in shock, he only had time to see a white shadow flashing in front of him, and then he staggered past, and the person's neck was cold, and blood was splattered out.
The other scouts woke up and hurried towards the attackers. The three scouts surrounded the white shadow, and a short and dense steel crash immediately erupted between the two sides, and the sparks in mid-air flashed and disappeared, dense as flowers, and then a scream was heard, and one of the scouts spurted blood and fell, and at the same time, the white shadow fell backwards, squatting on the body of a cannon as if it had no weight.
"It's the cat man!"
At this time, everyone finally saw the attacker clearly, and they couldn't help but let out a burst of exclamation.
With Raymond's southern expedition to the north, the rumor that there was an extremely powerful cat-man entourage by his side had long since spread. Among the enemies now, the popularity of the white cat people is no less than that of Raymond.
Baster's presence here means that the coalition forces have discovered their presence. The leading scout hurriedly said, "Quick, send Lord Haromon down, and the others will kill her!"
They didn't dare to detonate the magic crystal immediately, otherwise everyone present would be buried with them.
The two scouts hurriedly helped Haromon to send him under the walls, while the others all attacked Baster.
For a time, the entire city wall was full of cold light, and the wind blew the torches and swayed.
Under siege by the enemy. Baste was not afraid. Instead, the danger provokes the bloodthirsty factor of the orcs in her.
I saw Catwoman lick her tongue excitedly, and rushed towards the other party with both knives unfurled.
The two scouts leaped to their feet and headed for Baste, and the two collided in mid-air. Then I saw that the silver rays were staggered vertically and horizontally, and a series of tinkling and tinkling sounds were as dense as a sound.
"Meow. You're too slow!"
With a loud shout, the three of them suddenly parted. Then there was a scream, and when there was a loud sound, one of the scouts flew up and slammed into the edge of the city wall, and the whole person spun and fell, dragging a trail of blood in the air, and he couldn't see it.
The dagger in the other's hand fell to the ground with a crisp sound. I saw him covering his right wrist. His face was full of pain, and he had lost his combat power.
On the other side, Bastet landed and crouched around, as a dagger swept over her head, wiping a few cat hairs from the tips of her ears. Batht, on the other hand, staggered as the scimitar swept through the man's abdomen.
"Hmm!" the man screamed, clutching his stomach and falling to the ground.
And Baste kept holding the ground with her hands and standing upside down. Several at the same time. The two scouts had descended into the air, daggers stabbing at the point where she had just stood.
Baste didn't stop. At great speed, I flipped a few heels in a row and flipped to another place. However, the scouts of the Dirk Army were not ordinary, and the others immediately chased after them.
Catching up with Bath, the men immediately stabbed with daggers from different directions, accurately and ruthlessly, and the sound of the blade breaking through the air was like a scream.
Bath flipped up. Stepping sideways, while moving his body in a small area at a very fast speed, the scimitar in his right hand swirled around his body rapidly, like weaving a circle of shields, and a rapid impact sound was heard. All the daggers of those men were blocked.
At the same time, as she spun in a certain direction, her left-handed scimitar was thrown.
The scimitar whirled in mid-air, and flew out like a silver platter, with a whistling wind, and flew like lightning towards a certain part of the city wall.
That's when the scout realizes that Baust's target is actually Haromon.
At this moment, Haromon, with the help of two scouts, was about to go down the rope, but Baste's scimitar had arrived, and the speed was amazing.
Although Baste didn't know Haromon, except for the scouts on the city wall, there was a problem with how he looked at this person dressed as a magician.
There was no time for Haromon to dodge, as one of the scouts hurriedly jumped to the side with him in his arms, while the other slashed at the scimitar with a dagger.
A muffled sound of a sharp blade passing through flesh was heard, and the silver platter swept over the man's shoulder, and the scout's entire arm flew up at once, and blood spurted into the air.
But in such an obstacle, the scimitar lost its alignment, grazing Haromon's back, slamming into a stack of arrows and bouncing into the air.
All of this happened so quickly that the scouts besieging Baster were stunned, and Baster had seized the opportunity, and the scimitar in his right hand spun several times in succession around his wrist.
"Wow!!"
Blood erupted from the throats and chests of the two scouts, and the other hurriedly retreated in fright, while Baster flew to her feet with a slight bend of her knees, caught her cutlass in mid-air, and then turned over and crouched on the body of a cannon again.
At this moment, the audience was so quiet that the pin drop could be heard!
Everything seems to have returned to the way it was at the beginning, except that there are several dead bodies lying on the ground, and the wounded are groaning in pain, which makes people feel terrified.
Tick...
A few drops of blood dripped down Bathter's scimitar, splashing blood on the ground, and the Dirk scouts had all turned colored.
Although they had heard of the prestige of this "White Death" for a long time, it was not until the actual fight that they understood the horror of this cat man.
In the battle just now, the two sides were not at all on the same order of magnitude.
"Lord Haromon, you're all right, are you?"
The leader of the scouts approached Haromon and asked eagerly.
The knife just now almost flew over his body, and Haromon also looked palpitating. He shook his head: "I'm not hurt. I'll go to war too, and get rid of her as soon as possible. ”
As he spoke, Haromon made a gesture ready for battle. But the leader of the scouts stopped him: "Lord Haromon." Your Majesty's order to us is to destroy these things and send you back safely. ”
"Leave it to us here, you get out of here and detonate those magic crystals. ”
With that, the leader waved his hand, and the scout with Haromon led him to the wall again. At the same time, the rest of the people all surrounded Baste, and everyone looked dead.
But Baste was not afraid, and turned the scimitar between her wrists with both hands: "Meow, come on." ”
The two scouts moved to the edge on that side of the valley and were preparing to attack. At this moment, only a sharp sound was heard, and the two people's bodies shook, and their necks had been pierced by arrows.
Below, Hilnith and Ehita draw their arrows again on the string. He aimed his bow at the wall, the elf's piercing eyes shining in the night. The enemy scouts hurriedly left the wall, not daring to get any closer.
"Oops, the enemy has come to reinforcements. The scout leader said in alarm.
Before the words fell, a gust of wind was heard, and more than a dozen people flexibly climbed up from the wall, but they were scouts on the coalition side. All of them are elite trained by Baste herself, and they are all extraordinary.
And Raymond et al. I was rushing up the stairs on the side of the wall.
The situation that had been advantageous suddenly became extremely dangerous, but the Dirk scouts remained calm. They rushed towards the coalition forces. The two sides immediately fought together, and the men who protected Haromon sent him to the wall, where he had to climb down with ropes.
At this moment, a white shadow fell from the sky, and after it landed, the silver light flashed violently, followed by a series of screams. Blood splattered. One of the scouts was killed on the spot, while the other escorted Haromon back and forth, his face pale over his shoulders, blood oozing from his fingers.
Bath had already seen that Haromon was extraordinary, so naturally he would not let him leave so easily. With reinforcements arriving. The enemy could no longer stop her.
Compared to Bathter's ease, Haromon was extremely anxious. At this moment, there was a great chaos on the city wall, completely out of control, and with this cat man eyeing him, he knew very well that it was difficult for him to get out.
Shaking the scimitar, Bath was about to kill again, when he heard a shout from behind him: "Bath, catch alive." ”
But it was Raymond and the others who also rushed to the wall, and he saw Haromon who was closely protected by the scouts at a glance, and immediately reminded him.
Baste answered, and swooped up, and the two scouts hurried to meet her, desperately trying to block her. But the difference in strength between the two sides is too far, and defeat is only a matter of time.
Seeing Raymond and his party, Haromon showed a look of surprise. With Raymond's arrival, almost all of the important generals of the coalition side are here, which makes him realize that this is a good opportunity.
"You go and stop that cat man, give me half a minute, and I'm going to deal with your enemies forever. Haromon whispered to the scout leader.
The leader of the scouts immediately understood what he meant, Haromon was actually going to detonate the magic crystal here, and he would die with Raymond!
They were extremely loyal to Renard, and they had already put their lives on the line, and when they saw that Harrow Mon was determined next time, the leader naturally would not say anything more.
"I see. He said in a deep voice, "It's up to you." ”
With that, the leader and the last few scouts rushed towards Baste, while the unprotected Haromon took a few steps back, lowered his head and closed his eyes, and began to concentrate on preparing for magic and detonating the magic crystals under the cannon.
Hindered by the scouts, Baster was never able to get close to Hallomon. Not knowing what he wanted to do, the orc's instincts made Barst realize that the situation was not good.
"Young master, get out of here!" Catwoman turned back and yelled at Raymond.
At this time, the city wall was in chaos, and there were rapidly moving figures everywhere, and although Raymond and the others were all masters, it was difficult for them to intervene in the battle between these scouts.
At that moment, he heard Bathter's shouts and couldn't help but be stunned. At the same time, Harlot said with a frightened face: "Boss, boss, look there." ”
Looking down Harlot's finger, Raymond saw a red magic crystal placed under the cannon that had been stripped off the cloth. Because the scene was too chaotic, it was not until this moment that it was discovered by the sharp-eyed Harlot.
Lorna, who was on the side, didn't say a word, and lifted the cloth outside the cannon beside her, and sure enough, she found another magic crystal in the gap under the cannon, which was faintly flashing with a seeping red light.
Don't think about it, you also know that under the other 18 cannons of the Dao, there must be the same magic crystal. Look at Haromon in the distance, with his eyes closed. Everyone knew what the other party wanted to do.
"Damn, that bastard wants to blow us up with the cannon!" Harlott was furious.
Lorna stretched out her sword and picked out the magic crystal and threw it into the wilderness outside. However, it was useless, and once the remaining 19 magic crystals exploded, everyone still couldn't escape.
"Run, Boss!" Harlot snapped.
"It's too late!" exclaimed Raymond. Even if everyone runs away. The artillery was blown up, and this war would be lost as well.
In a hurry, Raymond quickly looked left and right, and saw a spear leaning under the arrow stack not far away, which should have been left by some guard guarding the city.
Raymond rushed forward, took a deep breath with his spear, and then turned his body and threw the spear at Haromon with all his strength.
His spear-throwing skills were learned from the barbarians of the frozen plateau, and he was extremely powerful. I saw spears shoot out. With a whining wind, it instantly swept over the distance between the two sides, like lightning.
At this time, Hallomon's magic was also completed. I saw him raise his head violently, his eyes were wide open, full of resolute color that he was not afraid of death, and his magic power was condensed in his wrist, constantly bursting out a little spark. As long as he unleashes his magic. When those magic crystals are induced, they will explode immediately.
This moment. It's as if even time has slowed down. I saw that Harrowmon's hands were slowly parted, and the magic power was under the traction, and then it was on the verge of exploding. And the spear had also arrived, and the edge of the spear shimmered with a cold light.
In this race against time, a figure was seen rushing forward and thrust in front of Haromon at an astonishing speed.
It's the scout leader. He did not hesitate to use himself as a shield to block the spear for Harrowmon.
Is it all over?
The spear pierced the scout leader's body, his hands gripped the shaft of the spear, and blood spurted from his mouth. But there was ecstasy on his face. His eyes are full of the pleasure of dying with the enemy.
He'd bought enough time to die just a few seconds before Raymond.
In the next moment, however, the scout leader's ecstasy turned to amazement. Because he found himself suddenly rising from the ground.
In the eyes of the others, they only saw the spear piercing through the scout leader, and then the powerful momentum actually carried him into the air, and he crashed into the Haromon in the rear.
At this moment, Haromon's hands spread out to his side, and just as the magic was about to explode, the spear flew in with the scout and collided with him.
Harrowmon's movements froze suddenly, and the spear pierced from his back, blood dripping from the tip of the spear. Pushed by the remaining forces, Harromont retreated again and again, leaning back on the arrow stack behind him.
The sudden, fatal blow nearly shattered his magic. Haromon gritted his teeth, using all his strength to unleash the magic.
At that moment, a black shadow and a silver ray came one after another, and an arrow pierced his throat, and then the silver light swept through his neck, and Haromon was already detached.
The magic in his hand then collapsed, and there was a crackling sound, like the angry cry of Haromon before he died.
Boom!
Harrowmon's head hit the ground, rolled a few times, and then flattened, his face still maintained the shock and unwillingness of the moment of death, and then a scimitar was stuck in the ground, and the handle of the knife trembled slightly.
"Whew..."
Raymond, Sylnis, and Baster withdrew their hands as they let out a long sigh of relief.
After the death of Haromon and the scout leader, the battle became simpler, and soon the last enemy scout was killed.
Everyone shouted lucky, this time it was too dangerous, if it weren't for a series of mistakes, I was afraid that the enemy would really succeed.
Renard wasn't a guy who played his cards by common sense, but this night attack was also very much in line with his character.
"How?"
As Ahita examined the crystals, everyone asked with concern.
"These are all powerful hedrons, and if they explode at the same time, all the cannons will be destroyed, and the walls will be severely damaged. ”
Just if a second at night... No, half a second, the possible consequences made everyone break out in a cold sweat.
"Boss, it was so beautiful just now. Harlot hurriedly slapped his ass.
Looking at his hand, Raymond was also glad. The spear throwing just now was completely extraordinary, far beyond his usual level.
This can't help but make Raymond think of the night of the sacrifice in the Orc Empire, and it was also his decisive spear throw, killing the God of War Priest, and turning the tide, so that Haken and Verona did not succeed.
It seems that it was the right decision to choose to learn this skill.
Soon, with the exception of the one that had been lost, Ahita dismantled all 19 magic crystals, and the walls were finally safe. (To be continued......)
