Chapter Seventy-Six: Left-behind Soldiers
"Is there anyone else here?" Naturally, Starmark also heard the voice and looked at An Lun.
An Lun also showed a surprised expression, and said, "I don't know, let's go, let's take a look." ”
With that, the two of them walked away, and it didn't take long for the sound of the fight to reach their ears.
Although the terrain of the bell tower is very complicated for ordinary people, for the craftsmen and thieves who have seen the map, it is like a road to heaven. Generally speaking, it circles upwards in a circle, and the only trouble is that some places have been damaged and need to be moved or detoured. In the center of the entire bell tower, a dark golden metal crisscrosses each floor, and it is carved with mysterious silver patterns, but at this time, these patterns appear a little dull, as if they may be extinguished at any time, thinking that it should be because of the heart of the clock.
Starmark and An Lun were very fast, and it didn't take long to find the source of the voice, which was more than a dozen soldiers in military uniforms, and several bloody corpses lay on the ground next to them. There are more than a dozen metal monsters around these soldiers, and on the chests of these metal monsters, there are dials similar to clocks, and you don't need to ask to know that these are out-of-control bell monsters.
"There are still soldiers who haven't evacuated!?" Starmark was also taken aback when he saw these people, he didn't expect that there were still soldiers here, didn't it mean that the bell tower had been sealed, so wouldn't these soldiers have only one way to die?
These soldiers, each of them is good, if you want to use the level of adventurers to assess, they are at least forty level adventurers, and they are well-trained, and they cooperate with each other very tacitly, not counting the unique means of those adventurers to press the bottom of the box, they join forces, even if it is a few adventurers whose Xuan power surpasses them, it is difficult to defeat them.
With such a group of soldiers, it stands to reason that it should not be a problem to face these bell monsters, but at this time, everyone has a thick tiredness on their faces, and the color of exhaustion is even more difficult to hide, their bodies are exhausted, and what supports them is only the iron will.
Several of the exhausted soldiers had already run out of gas, and the attacks on the bell monsters had become more and more difficult to resist. Even if their will is like iron, they are still flesh and blood, and it is impossible to move forever.
The moment they saw these soldiers, one of them was unable to reach out and grab his head by a bell monster who was stuck in from the side after being blocked by the iron arm of the bell monster.
"Poof" red and white blood flowed down the bell monster's hand, dripping onto the cold metal floor. This scene made all the soldiers who were resisting move in a single move, and screams of grief and indignation erupted from their throats.
One of the soldiers, who had a silver star on his right shoulder on his uniform, was the captain of the group, and when he saw his robe die at the hands of the bell monster, he roared and pounced on it, and was desperately crushed by the other bell monster in his left shoulder, and plunged the spear in his hand into the body of the bell monster whose hand was still stained with the blood of his companion.
The captain was kicked down by the bell monster he had killed, and he avenged his companion, but he was also hit in the left shoulder by an iron hand of the bell monster, shattering his shoulder bone, and his arm was paralyzed at his side, losing the ability to swing again. He looked at his companions around him, and already knew in his heart that neither he nor these brothers who had followed him for many years could no longer continue to support him.
The captain's eyes were a little red, and his back molars were even more squeaky because of the force, and after a while, the captain wiped his tattered sleeves on his face, wiped the sweat from his forehead and the tears in his eyes, and roared: "Brothers, once these demons leave, our homes and our relatives will be displaced, do you think we can let them leave alive!"
"No! Even though they were physically exhausted, even if these soldiers were about to lose the strength to hold their weapons, their words were so firm.
"Okay, brothers, then let's send these brutes to hell!" As he spoke, the captain unbuttoned his shirt, revealing his muscular body. However, the focus was not on his body, but on the circle of magical energy bombs around his waist.
The Magic Bomb is extremely powerful and is designed to deal with large monsters. Each magic energy bomb needs to consume a third-level magic energy stone, and the addition of a third-level magic energy stone to the market price is one thousand gold coins. Because it is expensive to build and amazingly powerful, it is not common even in the army, and these soldiers can have it, which is enough to prove the conjecture of the star mark, they did not withdraw and fall, but deliberately stayed here to suppress the bell monsters, and these magic energy bombs are their last means to control the number of bell monsters.
The captain raised his right hand high, and as long as he slapped his palm, the magic bomb could be detonated by him, but his hand stopped in mid-air and did not fall. It wasn't that he was timid, but that a voice came to his ears.
"Wait. It was just two simple words, but it made the captain's body tremble, he hadn't heard the voice, but it rekindled his hope, because the strange voice that appeared at this time represented reinforcements!
The captain looked back, but when he saw the comer, his hopeful face couldn't help but be gloomy, and it was not the reinforcements he imagined that were speaking, but a red-haired man, although the hair color was very flamboyant, but it looked very quiet, and there was no such strong power, and next to him there was a little fat man who looked even more useless, and his waist circumference had exceeded his height. Seeing this pair, the flame of hope that the captain had just ignited was also extinguished by a basin of cold water.
Of course, despite such a pair that seemed to have little combat power, the captain of the soldiers hesitated, with a hint of luck in his heart. He was not afraid of death, and he had already given his life after receiving the order to be stationed in the bell tower, but if it was possible to survive, who would want to die?
The people who came, it was Starmark and An Lun.
Starmark did not disappoint the captain, only to see that Starmark's body flickered, and he had already appeared in front of a bell monster, kicking his legs, just stepping on the dial-like place in front of this bell monster, and suddenly the dial shattered, and the bell monster also flew out upside down, smashing the two bell monsters behind him to the ground.
"You all stand back!" Starmark let out a low cry and shook his body at the same time, and reappeared in front of a soldier who was fighting with the bell monster, and with a push of his left hand, the soldier who was already covered in scars was pushed by Starmark and flew back upside down, and was caught by the other soldiers. At the same time, Starmark's right hand had already slammed into the clock's dial. It seems to be as white as jade, and even a very delicate right hand, but it is forcibly inserted into the metal body of the Zhong Monster, and the hard body of the Zhong Monster cannot leave even a trace of white marks on the hand of the star mark.
"Get out!" Starmark let out a low cry and exhaled his right fist, and the bell monster's huge body fell backwards, smashing into the other bell monster next to him again.
Those soldiers were also well-trained, and they were impressed by the fact that Starmark turned the tide as soon as it appeared, so when Starmark asked them to retreat, these soldiers did not hesitate at all, immediately gave up on their opponents, and quickly retreated. After discovering the star marks, those bell monsters did not continue to pursue the exhausted soldiers, their simple wisdom told them that the people in front of them were trouble, and as for those soldiers, they were already turtles in the urn, and there was nothing to fear. Suddenly, more than a dozen bell monsters surrounded the star mark in the middle, and for a while, countless iron fists poured down towards the star mark.
Will Starmark be hit by them? Of course, the answer is no, although there are a lot of these bell monsters, but their movements are slow, and their coordination is almost non-existent, and for Starmark, he doesn't even need to block, he can easily dodge these attacks by moving.
With a single jump, Starmark flipped out of the siege of the bell monsters, dodging the indiscriminate bombardment. At the same time, Starmark's hands were inappropriately wrapped in a black mist, and black light loomed over his hands.
This is the only attack skill that Starmark can use, the Black Claw. In the next moment, Starmark's entire person turned into an afterimage, accompanied by two black rays that quickly interspersed through these bell monsters. When the star mark stopped, the more than ten bell monsters, their bodies burst out with black light at the same time, the dial shattered, the skulls exploded, and they fell down one after another.
The soldiers were speechless in shock when they saw this, and it was not until Starmark came to them that they came to their senses and burst into cheers, and with the help of this seemingly elegant but resolute man, they destroyed their opponents, they won, and more importantly, they survived!
The black light on Starmark's hand vanished, and with a flash he returned to the front of the soldiers. At this time, although these soldiers were all wounded, they were all neatly lined up, and with the order of their captain, all the soldiers gave a military salute to Starmark at the same time, which was their respect, not only because Starmark saved them, but also because Starmark avenged their dead compatriots.
Starmark looked at the soldiers, and he could see the sadness in the soldiers' eyes, but he could also see the firmness that hid the sadness there. Starmark felt that his heart had been touched, and his hatred for forcing him to enter the bell tower had decreased a lot, this was the soldiers, and their faith was to protect their homeland. For the sake of the country and the people, life can be abandoned, so what is it to force yourself.
