Chapter 128: The rescuers appeared
Spears whirred from the air, and cold arrows whizzed past them. Under the onslaught of Otto's Imperial Horse Team, Qi Lang and Dodim supported it with difficulty.
The captain already had many wounds on his body, although he had already reached the level of a beginner Douzun in terms of combat ability, and if he calculated it carefully, he could handle even if there were thousands of martial artist-level enemies. But that's just a theoretical comparison of strength, Dodim is very powerful, but after all, he only has two arms, and the weapon in his hand is only the long sword, so he can't deal with the attacks of so many people at the same time. War is unfair, and even the most ordinary soldier can kill the bravest warrior, as long as he is lucky.
On the other hand, although Dodim's Gale Breaking Sea was very powerful, and a single sword could smash all the enemies within a radius of more than ten meters in front of him, but that kind of unique skill was too expensive, even if Dodim was in the best physical condition, he couldn't make the last three or five times in a row. What's more, just behind that group of soldiers, there was an equally powerful Vignesh eyeing him.
Fortunately, Qi Lang also stayed, although his physical strength was about to run out, the strange arrow never stopped for a moment. Dodim's downed soldiers provided him with plenty of arrows, allowing him to fight his way through and help keep an eye on Dodim's back.
However, Qi Lang no longer has the strength to make the gems on the bow glow red, and the arrows he shoots can only serve as a deterrent, but it is difficult to hurt the enemy. He was about to be unable to support it, and the fearless warrior of the East looked like he could die at the sword of the other party at any moment.
Qi Lang had never felt like this, it was not pure exhaustion, nor the pain caused by injuries, but fatigue from the inside out. He felt as if his entrails had been pumped out, empty, as if he needed to swallow a whole cow to refill himself.
It must have been forcibly resisting Vignesh's sword, causing some damage to his meridians. It is estimated that he will have to recuperate for several days before he recovers, of course, provided that he can get out of the distance and cross the hundreds of meters smoothly.
In the thrilling battle, the border line is approaching meter by meter. Just behind that small hillside, the megalithic castle of the Luman Empire had already revealed its spire, and they were almost successful.
But where is the team? Why can't you see the green flag?
Qi Lang has never missed Quill's ugly face like he does now.
The enemy attacks are even more frenzied. The arrows rained down so much that even a few of the cavalrymen who charged forward were killed by friendly fire. Vignesh must have given the order to kill, and he himself must have been about to make a move, Qi Lang had already seen his action, and the tall non-commissioned officer jumped off his horse and stepped forward step by step with the broken sword. His eyes flashed with murderous aura, and it looked like he was going to deliver a fatal blow at the last minute!
Captain Dodim certainly couldn't resist Vignesh's attack, and after killing more than fifty of his pursuers, he was wounded. Judging from Dodim's pale face, he had suffered heavy blood loss, and he had no chance of winning against a strong man like Vignes.
Where's Quill and where is the team that picked it up?!
Whoosh!
Just as Vignesh was about to raise his greatsword, a series of blue lights suddenly streaked across the sky. That's more than twenty arrows, arrows that fly faster than lightning!
It was an arrow from Lieutenant Maggie's steel-winged bow! the blue glow was unusually dazzling, but don't think it would only make the arrow more beautiful, it had some special purpose. Qi Lang had heard Gurf say that the blue light would strengthen the hardness of the arrow cluster, making the arrow extremely sharp, even penetrating a steel shield ten centimeters thick, and at the same time, it would also make the arrow more stable, even if the crosswind was strong, it could still fly straight towards the target.
Those arrows flew so fast that Qi Lang didn't even have time to blink his eyes before they had already flown over. It seems that Lieutenant Mega's combat ability has also improved, and she should have reached the level of a high-ranking martial artist by now, as these arrows are obviously faster than before. That's really an enviable skill.
Screams rang out in the ranks of the cavalry. This series of shots killed and injured many enemies, and Qi Lang even saw that an arrow still flew far away after piercing the bodies of the two soldiers.
Vignesh had already retreated. He used his greatsword to shake out a blue light, only to find that four or five more arrows were following, so he rolled out in a frenzy, allowing the deadly arrows to shoot through the soldiers behind him.
Saved!
At the top of the hillside, Maggie and Quill appeared, and behind them, five hundred Whirlwind soldiers lined up and walked out with their heads held high. They are like majestic gods of war, intimidating, and like angels who radiate holy light, which makes people's hearts warm.
"Hold on, Qi Lang, we're safe. A whispered reminder from Dodim sounded in his ears, and then Qi Lang felt that he had been lifted up, flew up the hill with a flutter, and then fell in the ranks of the Spinner Frontier with the captain.
"Are you alright?" Lieutenant Maggie asked with concern, and after receiving an affirmative answer, she smiled and winked at Qi Lang and Dodim, "Take a break, we'll leave it here." ”
The cavalry on the opposite side was confused for a while, but quickly stabilized their position. Vignesh walked out reluctantly, and although he wanted to keep his usual composure, Qi Lang had to say that his face was ugly. "Captain Quill, you have sent men into our territory and launched an attack on our army. Are you trying to stir up a dispute?!" he asked.
Quill spread his hands innocently: "What are you talking about, why can't I understand you?Did any of us pass? Someone else attacked you? I don't seem to see any of this." ”
"You're talking nonsense, Captain Quayle. Vignesh took two steps forward, looking like he was about to lose his old demeanor, "Your subordinate Sergeant Zilang walked around our Hayes city last night, and committed an unforgivable crime, don't deny it, I can see his face clearly." ”
Quill laughed, "I said Winnie - I'm sorry, that's your name - you shouldn't bite like a mad dog." Sergeant Qi Lang is my proudest soldier, and I take him with me wherever I go. I assure you, the two of us sat in the bar at Hickburg all night. We talked about the future, we talked about ideals, we talked a lot, all the time about dawn. Are you mistaken? In your opinion, don't all Orientals look the same?"
Listening to Quill's nonsense, Qi Lang almost vomited, as if he had drunk a whole bottle of red wine from the Gila family. Qi Lang can be sure that he will never sit alone with Quill in his life, let alone talk about any ideals and future!
However, Qi Lang must admit that if you only look at the back of Quill's head, this man is quite stylish - tall, mighty, and gives people an infinite sense of security. Maybe Lieutenant Maggie will take a fancy to him because of this. The two of them stood side by side, and they did look like a natural pair. It's a pity that he is too ugly on the front, and he is too simple and rude, too lazy to use his brain, and there will be so many loopholes in even making up nonsense, which makes the soldiers of the Whirling Front Army next to him show unbelievable eyes.
Vignesh was obviously not blinded by Quill's nonsense, but he obviously didn't expect that the famous Quill would use rogue tricks, so his face was completely gloomy: "So, the arrows that were shot from your warband just now are completely non-existent?"
"Of course. Quill lifted his thick right arm and tried to put his arm around Lieutenant Maggie's shoulder, but she pushed him away mercilessly. Then he laughed to himself again, "None of our ladies here have shot twenty blue arrows at you, and I swear by my honor." ”
Maggie laughed, and the whole team of Whirlwind soldiers laughed along, even Captain Dodim, who was sitting on the ground, laughed so hard that he couldn't stand up with laughter.
"Where does a scoundrel have any reputation?" Dodim winked his eyes at Qi Lang, "Quill bastard just wants to fight, he's put up with it for too long. Looks like that baby Winnie is going to be out of luck. ”
Vignesh's face turned pale with anger.
He looked up at the sky, and the red-headed vulture had withdrawn and had flown away without a trace. He looked back again, and the team sent for support had also stopped on the plain two kilometers away, as if it was preparing to withdraw its troops.
It was clear that Colonel Absion did not want a formal conflict between the two countries, and that the pursuit could only end there. After losing hundreds of soldiers, this highly decorated general had no choice but to return empty-handed.
Vignesh stared at Quill's ugly face fiercely for a long time, and finally chose to swallow the evil breath, he gritted his teeth and said, "Very good, Captain Quill, Vignesh accepted your statement. As our kings have declared, we are brothers and should love each other, because one day we will meet amicably. He snorted and waved his hand to the soldiers, intending to retreat.
But Quell's voice shouted again: "Wait a minute, baby Vinnie, whether it is a brother or a brother and sister, the account must be settled." My own brother seems to have been hurt by your people, and you didn't think to give me some compensation?"
At that moment, Quell's thick finger pointed at Captain Dodim.
