Chapter 160: Arrow in the Knee
Paulé was the largest port city in the province of Kerburg, located at the junction of the Birea Empire's route to the west. Because of the abundance of harbors, the Empire also built a large military port here, and the headquarters of the Southern Sea Fleet was also located here. Therefore, a large number of various ships pass by on the sea near Baolai City every day, and it is not lively to come and go.
The same is true in the city.
"It looks like the road ahead is clogged. Maria shrank back and closed the window of the carriage and said, "I wonder how the eldest lady is doing?"
"Who knows.,Maybe I accidentally played too much and provoked the instinct in a certain boy's body when he maliciously sold cuteness, so he forcibly pushed it down and ate it, right?
Maria sweated coldly and glanced at Mercury, who was sitting elegantly across from her with a cold yogurt, "Miss's conduct is really so bad in your eyes?"
"Yes, it's really bad. I can take the author's vouch. ”
Please don't pull me up while the two of you are playing stand-up comedy, thanks.
Maria, who was speechless for a while, saw that the carriage had not moved for a long time, so she opened the wooden plank on the front of the carriage and exposed the window, and said to the coachman who was sitting in the Tao Fang driving: "I said, can you change the way to the port? ”
"Miss Maria, it seems that the port is not usable now. The coachman nodded and said, "I heard from the citizens next to me that it seems to have been attacked by some kind of sea monster that can land on the shore, and the army is going to suppress it. ”
"You heard me right, right? When will the monsters in the sea be able to run on the shore?"
The driver was about to answer, when the crowd in front of him suddenly let out a frightened scream...... It immediately attracted everyone's attention. A monster with purple bone spurs on its back was clumsily moving its massive body on all fours, its bloody mouth full of sharp teeth, and even bits of minced meat and iron could be seen in it, which undoubtedly belonged to a soldier.
The appearance of this monster is indeed very curious, but its fish tail with obvious characteristics shows that Ya's hometown is the sea, and it is not a cat or dog who escaped after being caught by a pharmaceutical company for experiments.
The crowd suddenly exploded like a hornet that had stabbed the hometown, and the scene was chaotic. The frightened horse raised its front hooves and tried to gallop, but was held back by the coachman...... It didn't cause a catastrophe. But after such a toss...... The monster had already arrived in front of the car, opening its mouth and biting.
Then it ate a mouth full of crow feathers.
The mercury lamp emerged from the hole that had been pierced by its own attack...... Ignoring the driver's thanks, he began to look around: the hordes of monsters must have routed the army and were wreaking havoc all over the city. Many mercenaries and adventurers fought back, but they all fought in small groups, which made it difficult to form effective resistance due to their dispersion and lack of cooperation. Coupled with the panicked ordinary citizens running indiscriminately, it disrupted the defensive formation that might have been stabilized.
"What a nostalgic animation for the opening scene of Resident Evil. Mercury sighed.
Enough, Lord Chairman, Resident Evil is a zombie instead of an alien...... Ah, the spit point is wrong.
After the spoof, Mercury Wei took a closer look at it and found that although these monsters were basically mutated from fish, they were of different types, even different sizes. Some are bigger than houses...... Some are no bigger than hunting dogs at most.
Obviously, the original size of these fish monsters plays a decisive role in their physique.
But there is no doubt that they are all many times larger than the original.
"The fish that the girl caught last time was obviously much bigger than the usual...... Did the infection start in the sea?" muttered Mercury Lamp, "Could that undisciplined belly black loli be in the same situation as we are now?"
The sound of a nearby fight woke Mercury from his contemplation...... I saw a group of adventurers standing guard at the door of an inn, and it was crowded with many terrified-looking civilians. Although this squad is very rare, the profession is complete and well-equipped, and the captain of the warrior uncle led by him even shines with an orange level 4 fighting spirit all over his body...... But as the monsters around him gather more and more, they also become dangerous.
As soon as she thought about this, she immediately showed a very surprised expression: when did she become so nosy?she shook her head with a self-deprecating smile...... Swept away the emotion in his heart for Elicia's character that was easily infected by others, and flew forward. ,
But the Chairman had no chance of completing her rescue operation.
A large number of fireballs mixed with a small number of light bullets overwhelmingly hit the other side of the street, and the two inconspicuous lowest-level spells had a miraculous effect at this moment, and the monsters that had been surrounding the adventurer squad with fangs and claws unexpectedly caused a riot. Even the powerful thunder and lightning spells hit them, but they were like mosquitoes smoked by mosquitoes, and several of them fell in this attack in the blink of an eye.
The undead are eternally afraid of fire and light, even if they are upgraded and mutated.
It is impossible for the scattered mercenaries to launch such an efficient and concentrated attack, could it be that the reinforcements of the army have arrived so quickly? Mercury turned his head to look at it, and his eyes immediately widened in shock: it was actually a group of mercenaries and adventurers with disheveled equipment! Although their equipment was miserable, the formation was well organized, and the standard warriors were advancing in front of the mage. The mercury lantern even saw a few thieves scouting the way, the longest-range archers at the back of the line, and even the flanks with some warriors to protect them.
Although the formation is not perfect due to the quality of the members, it is enough to deal with the brainless undead.
After the initial chaos, the monsters set their sights on the new arrivals. They rushed forward with great vigour, eager to tear each other to pieces.
"It takes time for a mage to cast a spell, and based on the speed of the monsters, it is estimated that they will be able to reach the front of the group after two blows. Mercenaries and adventurers are not soldiers, and they will quickly collapse after suffering a certain amount of loss. Should I help?" thought to himself.
A crisp girl's voice sounded in the center of the procession, which the mercury lamp felt a little familiar: "Archers prepare!"
This time, even the one who was rescued...... The level 4 warrior uncle couldn't help but lose his voice and said, "Are you crazy!? It's impossible for the arrows to hurt them!"
And then to everyone's surprise...... At the moment when the girl's order was given, the warrior and the mage standing on the side of the waves actually squatted down at the same time, and a few stupid geese were also pulled to the ground by their companions next to them.
The unblocked archers of the Tao side drew their bowstrings one after another, and the mercury lamp found that their arrows were pressed so low that if they shot out like this, they would not be able to hit the monster's head, but would ...... Leg?
These monsters are mutated from fish, and it is impossible for them to get used to walking on their legs for a short time, especially after the undead lose their biological instincts. As long as the leg is attacked, no matter how powerful the monster is, it will fall immediately.
"The command of this team is absolutely amazing!" said Mercury Lamp.
"Shoot!" the girl's voice sounded again...... Without the shelter of the crowd, Mercury quickly spotted her.
It was a handsome girl with pink clothes and even hair, and she had met her once in the dormitory room of Elicia in the Garden of Hope...... The number of times I've seen it in Lori's notebook is not counted.
Gui Yandang, the leader of Class C of the Magic Department of the Garden of Hope who was controlled by a certain loving Lori.
At Guidaisy's command, countless arrows flew towards the monsters, and then hit their knees and knees......
It's impossible that all archers will deliberately aim at Knee Jiang, they must have been specially instructed by you, right, Sister Daisy!?
Sure enough, the monster that rushed to the front after being attacked in the leg fell down in unison...... The few who didn't fall had to stop trying to stabilize their center of gravity, and then they were knocked to the ground by the monster behind them.
A large group of monsters with hateful faces that can scare 3-year-old Lori to cry because of an arrow in the knee comically fell to the ground, tripping over the companion behind, and then snowballed more and more, until they all hit the street, squeezing each other and stacking on top of each other, no matter how you look at it, it makes people feel like thunder is rolling!
However, this is not over, Gui Daisy's second order is also embarrassing and everyone is stunned: "Attention thieves, start throwing!"
Are the archers actually thieves after that!?mage, you let the most powerful group of magesDps: how can you be embarrassed, hey! Ahem, don't count, don't count
Everyone knows that thieves' pockets are always full of all kinds of dangerous goods, from hidden weapons, poisons, glitter powder, and so on. But these things are used against living creatures, and the undead are all exempt from it. What exactly is in the flag that Gui Xiaodang let the thieves throw out?,
The answer soon came out: the quiet touch, the wonderful smell, and the bright color were the oil used to light the lamps in civilian homes!
The mercury lamp sat leisurely on the roof of the carriage with the yogurt bottle...... She didn't have to do it anymore.
After the flames were extinguished, the streets were cleared, and Guidaisy led the small team to the door of the inn and asked the warrior uncle, "Are any of you injured?"
The uncle hurriedly shook his head: "No! I have seen with my own eyes that the people killed by monsters have also become undead, so naturally I won't joke about this kind of thing." ”
Gui Yandang looked inside the inn: "The only combat power in this vicinity is you?"
The uncle smiled bitterly: "If I had a helper, I wouldn't have worked so hard." ”
"Okay...... I won't ask you to draw your combat strength, you and your team will stay here. We'll take care of the rest of the city. ”
"If you don't mind...... Count me in. The mercury lamp spoke in the carriage, and then turned to Mary, who came out with the probe, "You go back and wait for news, for it is impossible to go to sea by boat in the present situation." ”
"Be careful, then. ”
Gui Yanjian frowned and rubbed her temples vigorously: "Oh no, why is she here too?"
"If you're referring to a certain Lori, don't worry, she's happily playing a game of firewood knives with a natural person who stays far away. ”
