Chapter 218: Between life and death

Not everyone is as lucky as Brass.

When Bras fell to the ground and Cai Long fought back, several screams were heard in the library.

At the beginning of the raid, Galdo and his men threw two flying knives and shot four arrows. The two first-level priests released four or five "starlights". Letona did not practice "Starry Sky Meditations" but undead magic. His bone spear was launched later but arrived first, directly piercing the chest of a guard standing behind the window.

Several temple warriors holding long swords took this opportunity to rush to a place only ten meters away from the southwest corner of the library. Cai Long could clearly see their ferocious faces and the fighting spirit halo flowing around them.

The sound of counterattack gunfire finally rang out, but it was far less frequent than Cai Long had expected. He continued to shoot, his heart bleeding. Judging from the sound, at least half of the gunmen fell in the first round of assault.

But apart from modern weapons, the crossbows used by other warriors are a joke in front of warriors who have mastered fighting spirit.

Bras got up from the ground, took the longbow from his back, and shot an arrow quickly, but the temple warrior he was aiming at didn't even dodge, and blocked the arrow with a knock of his sword.

"Platoon leader! This won't work!" Brass roared and shot the second arrow in his hand.

Cai Long was the sharpshooter in the regiment, but those warriors learned the lesson of the fallen man in front of them, and when they advanced, they dodged left and right with the help of fighting spirit, and their speed was extremely fast. Cai Long emptied the magazine and only hit the left arm of a warrior.

"Retreat! I'll cover you." He took out a magazine and shouted.

But it was too late. Six warriors including Galdo had already rushed to the southwest corner of the library, followed closely by four warriors with bows, who kept shooting arrows to suppress them.

A soldier near the corner of the building was hiding behind a window and firing crossbow arrows. When he saw the enemy approaching, he hurriedly prepared to retreat, and then he saw a warrior break through the window and cut off his head with a knife. Another soldier on the second floor fired several shots at the enemy who was sticking to the wall. One of the shots hit one of them in the shoulder. He was about to take advantage of the victory to pursue, but a feather arrow shot into his temple and nailed him directly to the wall. Two others had already run away from the window, but several magical lights flew in from the window in an arc and pierced their necks directly.

The door where Cai Long was standing was a little far from the windows. He loaded the bullets, gave up on the warriors in front of him, and instead called out the names of the shooters behind him one by one.

Although the archers also followed the warriors in front, they always stopped when shooting arrows. This gave Cai Long an opportunity. He fired all ten bullets and killed two of the four archers. One of them was shot in the head.

"Damn it! Come with me to kill that guy." Galdo took the lead and rushed towards Cai Long.

"Go!" Bras threw his bow to the ground, picked up Cai Long, who was halfway through compressing the bullets, and rushed into the library. At this time, out of the twenty-five of them, twenty-two had already fallen into the hands of these warriors.

If Galdo's speed is that of a sports car, then Cai Long and the others' speed is that of a tractor. When the two of them ran into the lobby, Galdo was only four or five meters away from them, and another five or six meters away were two other temple warriors.

Galdo raised his sword while running, and saw that he could cut the two people in front of him into four pieces with a single sprint. At this time, a burst of rapid gunfire came from the corridor on the second floor.

Galdo was caught off guard and a bullet shot off half of his left ear, so he had to slow down.

"Platoon leader, come upstairs quickly! We..." The voice of soldier Xiao Liu came from upstairs, but before he could finish his sentence, a warrior behind Galdo threw a flying knife and stabbed it into Xiao Liu's throat.

"Xiao Liu!" Cai Long finally finished reloading his gun and just raised his gun when he saw another warrior swinging his arm at him. He had no choice but to raise his gun to block it, but with a bang, a flying knife pierced into the gun body, not only cutting off the gun barrel, but also knocking Cai Long out with the remaining force.

Gardo was about to kill Cailong when he heard fierce gunfire at the entrance of the library. Letona, along with two priests and two archers, was forced into the library by the hail of bullets.

"Gardo! There are about 20 people coming from outside, with many guns and experts!" Letona hid in the corner and released several bone spears, and a bullet hit his calf. "Don't worry about those two rats, stop the ones outside first."

Galdo glared at the two men who fled into the corridor with hatred, and said to a temple warrior: "Monty, you chase him, we can't let go of the man who killed so many of our brothers! This guy is a very good archer, and with a gun like that, he is a big threat to us. But the gun in his hand has been disabled, find him and kill him!"

The warriors took the order and left. Galdo said to the remaining warriors, "Come with me to the door to block the reinforcements. This will give the priests time to set up the barrier!"

—————————

Chen Hansheng and his team joined up with the camp management security team guarding downstairs, as well as Li Tianrui and others who had hurriedly arrived, and headed towards the library together.

Hearing the gunshots coming from the library, Chen Hansheng's smile suddenly disappeared. He frowned and said, "Let's go! Those guys are much faster than we thought. Who is guarding over there?"

"It's Cai Long, he brought more than a dozen people!" Li Tianrui ran as fast as he could. "Oh no, how come the gunfire faded so quickly?"

"The opponent is too strong! I'm afraid many of them are warriors with fighting spirit." Kalanda drew his sword from behind and said, "Leo and I will rush over first!"

Chen Hansheng grabbed her and said, "Don't be impulsive. Since the enemy is very strong, we must concentrate our strength."

As they passed the corner, they saw Letona and two priests walking into the gate. Chen Hansheng and Li Tianrui raised their guns and shot. However, the other party quickly hid.

The entrance to the library was in a mess, with blood splattered all over the walls and the ground. The bodies of the guards were lying behind the doors and windows, on the steps, and in the hall. Many of them were even beheaded, with their bodies and bodies torn apart, in a miserable state of death.

Chen Hansheng suddenly felt his blood boiling, and his whole body felt like it was about to explode. The scene before him made him feel as if he was back at the border instead of at school.

"Damn it! They were attacked." Li Tianrui's eyes were red, and he gritted his teeth and said, "Then Cai Long and the others are all..."

"Be careful to hide and don't be impulsive!" Chen Hansheng shouted.

Sure enough, just as they hid behind the obstacles, several bone spears flew over from the opposite side, followed by dense arrows and flying knives.

The two sides once again began to shoot at each other through the gate, but this time the attack and defense were reversed. Chen Hansheng had five rifles and several crossbows, using the street corners and flower beds as cover. The other side had two archers left, and the others also picked up the crossbows left by the guard battalion and hid behind the windows to start counterattacking.

Although Chen Hansheng had more firepower points, the crossbows driven by the other side's fighting spirit were as lethal as bullets, posing a great threat to Chen Hansheng and others. Moreover, these temple warriors, with the help of fighting spirit, were very flexible, and their shooting frequency and accuracy were not comparable to those of ordinary people.

After a few rounds, one warrior was hit in the chest by Chen Hansheng, and another was shot in the face by Cole's explosive arrow. However, five of the more than 30 people brought by Chen Hansheng were also killed.

The situation suddenly became deadlocked.

"We can't go on like this. Even if we defeat them in the end, the library won't be saved. All it takes is a fire..." said Kalanda.

Chen Hansheng looked at Li Tianrui, who immediately said, "Brother Chen, you are a senior, I will follow your command. As long as... as long as I avenge them!"

He looked at Karanda again.

She punched him: "Speak now!"

Chen Hansheng said seriously, "The enemy's weakness is that they have too few people. With Cai Long and the others killed by us, I estimate that there are only about seven or eight people left. No matter what they plan to do in the library, it is impossible for them to devote all their people to defense, so we have to take advantage of this. Xiao Li, you take five people to the west. Cole takes five people and attacks from the east. We continue to suppress them, and once the enemy's forces are dispersed, we will break through in one fell swoop with Kalanda and Rio as the core. Remember! If the enemy rushes out, don't fight, retreat immediately!"

"Why don't you let me lead a team!" Kalanda asked after the two men split up and left.

"I don't know you yet. If I let you lead a team, the feint attack will turn into a main attack." Chen Hansheng sneered and loaded bullets into his gun.

"I have read your military books and know how you fight. In the hands of an excellent commander, feint attacks and main attacks are interchangeable."

"Hey, you've improved."

Kalanda held Chen Hansheng's arm and whispered, "I know you want to be around to take care of me, but I am an honorable soldier. Put me in the right place next time."

Chen Hansheng's eyes flashed with tenderness, and he pulled the pigtails that Kalanda had left, "Be good and stay with me, there will be a time for you to charge into battle."

—————————

In the library, Gardo was also full of resentment. Of the ten temple warriors he brought, five had already fallen. The "guns" used by these Chinese were too powerful. The speed of shooting metal particles exceeded the reaction limit of low-level warriors. If you see the other party shooting process, you can naturally make judgments from the other party's muscle movements and avoid the attack, but if you don't find it in advance, it will be too late to dodge when the particles are shot out.

Galdo tried it before. If he wanted to fight against these metal particles, a mid-level warrior like him had to concentrate and gather his fighting spirit. Otherwise, even if they could hardly penetrate a body filled with fighting spirit, they would still cause serious damage to the skin and flesh.

"Letona! What's going on? They're attacking from three directions. We can't hold on any longer!"

"The last one!" Letona ran quickly, took out a 20-centimeter square stone slab from his space bag, and placed it in a corner of the library. Then he chanted a spell and pressed his hands on the stone slab, "Come in!"

When Galdo and the other warriors retreated behind Letona, six stone slabs placed in various corners of the hall and the library began to light up at the same time, and a star-speckled shield rose from the outside of the stone slabs. The light curtain seemed to have consciousness, avoiding all obstacles but blocking all the gaps between the ceiling and the ground, covering half of the hall and the entrance to the library.
