Mei Tiantian was still preparing for the Star Storm. However, the mage's distracted state actually made her very clear about the situation around her. Whether it was Wu Zibin and his team's nervous fear and fighting back, or Osa and his team's amazing courage and disregard for sacrifice, she saw it all. But she couldn't do anything now. The Star Storm magic actually didn't take a long time to prepare. But this time was too long to be accepted in a close combat attack.
Umeda watched the militiamen die one after another, but apart from forcing herself to calm down and keep the spell casting stable, she could only pray that they would hold on.
She must release this magic completely, otherwise all her sacrifices will be in vain.
But she was also a little confused. Where did Ji Yijun go? Where did Captain Pompa go? At least five minutes had passed since the attack began, but no one else appeared on the city wall. What was going on
At this moment, she noticed the sound of air gun fire coming from the other end of the village.
—————————
Ji Yijun jumped down from the city wall, and with the gravity on his sword, he split a low-level warrior in front of him in half. The black liquid sprayed out, but was blocked by the toxin-isolating shield on his body.
He raised his sword again to block a sword attack from another low-level warrior nearby.
There were only four enemy soldiers left at the forefront. Ji Yijun moved nimbly among them, keeping them entangled under the city and not giving them a chance to climb over the wall.
Under Pompa's command, the militia soldiers on the city wall continued to shoot, suppressing the hundreds of imperial soldiers rushing over. The wizard Logan released a large range of ice magic, slowing down the enemy's speed and killing a large number of them.
The imperial attack came suddenly, and Ji Yijun had never expected such a large group of troops to appear. Fortunately, the militia here had just finished cutting trees and were preparing for training, so they had both manpower and weapons ready. When someone saw a large number of armed people approaching, Pompa immediately sent someone to close the gate and let the armed soldiers run up the city wall for defense.
Equipped with weapons such as air guns, they can be at a commanding position to deal with an enemy with cold weapons that is four times their size, which is a huge advantage.
Although the Imperials had already realized that they needed to disperse and charge when facing weapons like air rifles, the distance between them was still not large due to the narrow walls of the village. When the militia fired in volleys, they did not need very good marksmanship to defeat the enemy. Several guards brought by Ji Yijun also joined the battle. Their marksmanship was much better than that of the militia. In the Imperials' charging team, if someone appeared to be more powerful, they would receive their special attention. They often worked in groups of two, focusing their fire on the opponent's powerful warriors, and could kill one with a few shots.
When the imperial soldiers rushed closer, the militia above, led by the guards, began to throw crystal grenades down. Most of the imperial soldiers were ordinary people, and they fell down in large numbers under the attack of bullets and grenades.
At the bottom of the city wall, Ji Yijun took advantage of the enemy's unpreparedness, pulled out a crystal grenade, and threw it directly at the face of one of the enemies besieging him. The grenade exploded, not only directly blowing off the opponent's skull, but also causing an enemy in front of him to stagger. Ji Yijun was well prepared, and his long sword was waiting for him on his way forward, but the man couldn't stop himself and sent his throat to the tip of Ji Yijun's sword.
The remaining person was also disturbed by the explosion, and he didn't notice that Ji Yijun took out another crystal grenade and threw it at his feet. The explosion threw him up, and Ji Yijun curled up and got under him, raised his sword and swept past him, ripping him open. When his belly was full of black and red blood, Ji Yijun had already swept past his body, turned around and raised his sword to point at the last Douqi warrior from a distance.
The warrior watched Ji Yijun kill four people in a short period of time and was so frustrated that he had no courage left. He was about to turn around and run away, but he didn't notice an ice spear shot from the city wall behind him and knocked him to the ground. Ji Yijun quickly stepped forward and killed him with a sword, then stretched out his hand and gave Logan on the city wall a thumbs up.
"There's another guy who looks pretty powerful." Logan said from above.
Ji Yijun knew who he was talking about. It was a guy at the back of the charging team. He looked like the commander of this army. But when Ji Yijun looked at him, he caught a trace of panic on his face.
This guy has been frightened by the militia's attack. A frightened enemy is of no concern no matter how powerful his martial arts skills are.
Ji Yijun realized that his speed was getting slower and slower, and he was gradually distancing himself from the group in front. Was he trying to escape
Ji Yijun chose a direction where there were not many people on the road and quickly approached the enemy. Just when the ordinary soldiers suffered heavy losses and were about to collapse, Ji Yijun accelerated, burst out with fighting spirit, and rushed towards the man.
When the officer saw the aggressive Ji Yijun, he didn't know whether to fight or run away for a moment. This pause made Ji Yijun and him get much closer.
Perhaps the bad situation on the field and Ji Yijun's ferocious look really frightened him. The officer finally chose to turn around and run away, but his speed at the beginning was no match for Ji Yijun's sprint.
The imperial officer had only run a few steps when he felt a heavy blow on his back. Turning back, he found that it was a thrown sword that had pierced his back.
He ran forward a few more steps with difficulty, and then he heard the sound of Ji Yijun rushing towards him.
"Hey, this big fish of yours belongs to me." Ji Yijun hit him hard on the back of the neck with his fist, and the officer fell down without any resistance.
Ji Yijun had no intention of letting him go. He grabbed the sword stuck in his back, poured his fighting spirit into it, and twisted it hard. The officer screamed and died. Ji Yijun looked behind him and saw that the imperial army that attacked the town had been defeated. He couldn't help but wonder what made them dare to attack a village with a wall like this. When he returned to the door, the few remaining enemies had already fled back into the surrounding woods. Several guards had already mounted their horses, ready to chase the fleeing enemies separately.
"Ji Yijun, we seem to have seen someone behind the village sending out a magical distress signal." Logan reported from the top of the city wall.
"What? Is this a diversionary tactic? It's Umeda! Are they also under attack?"
"Captain, how about we go to the back of the village first?" said the guard soldier.
"You go! Leave this to me and Logan." Ji Yijun used his luck and Logan used flying skills to rush towards the back wall of the village. (To be continued)
