The warrior's sword slashed towards Mei Tiantian's forehead. The sharp edge of the fighting spirit arrived before the sword blade, and the cutting force contained in the sword light cut Mei Tiantian's skin. She felt a sharp pain, and blood flowed from her forehead.
But the blade did not cut into her body. Mei Tiantian felt that a surge of energy suddenly surged out of the storage ring in her hand. This sudden energy gathered from her hand to above her forehead and turned into a golden hand, tightly grasping the sword.
This hand looks unreal, but it has amazing power. No matter how hard the opponent tries, the sword cannot move forward even a bit.
The outline of the hand slowly expanded backwards, outlining a human figure, and then as the magic power from the surrounding continued to flow into the outline, it quickly filled it into a real person.
The man looked at the three imperial warriors coldly, stretched out his left hand and pressed forward, a scorching flame burst out from his hand, and the three were blown away by the burst of flames. The two low-level warriors were burned to charcoal when they landed, and only the high-level warrior relied on his fighting spirit to support himself. However, his hands and face were also burned by the flames.
"Brother Xiao Chen!" Mei Tiantian, who had closed her eyes and was waiting to die, screamed. Xiao Chen turned his head and smiled at her. Mei Tiantian felt her heart warm, her eyes sore, and she was enveloped by a sense of security.
This is Xiao Chen's clone. Xiao Chen had already made preparations when he promised the children to come out, and he put his own mark on the rings distributed to them.
This ring is not an ordinary storage ring, but a protective ring with automatic defense function. However, Xiao Chen embedded his own magic in the ring and changed the effect of summoning shield to activate his mark while protecting. Once the wearer of the ring is hurt, the ring will call upon the internal energy and cooperate with the trace of distraction left by Xiao Chen to block the attack. Then it will cross the space and summon Xiao Chen's own power to form a new clone.
It’s a pity that Mei Tiantian and others didn’t know this, otherwise if Xiao Chen had appeared earlier, those militiamen might have been rescued.
Xiao Chen saw two people fighting not far away, and two fire spears shot out from his hands, hitting the imperials who were chasing Osa. The magic penetration of the great magician was far beyond that of those children. Just now, this warrior dealt with Wu Zibin and his magic with ease, but his fighting spirit was completely unable to resist Xiao Chen's magic, and was turned into a human torch by Xiao Chen's attack.
Xiao Chen stretched out a hand and stroked Mei Tiantian's head. The wound on her forehead immediately stopped bleeding and began to coagulate.
Xiao Chen's eyes swept across the crowd, and finally returned to the fallen high-level warrior. "You imperial people are really capable. A group of fighting spirit warriors are actually slaughtering ordinary people and children here."
The high-ranking warrior coughed twice, stood up from the ground, raised his sword and said to Xiao Chen: "This is war. I thought you would have this awareness when you go against the empire. Whoever is stronger can kill the other side until you achieve your goal. I had the opportunity just now, but I didn't grasp it. Now it's your turn, I have nothing to say."
Xiao Chen said: "Since you want such a war, then I will give it to you."
He didn't do anything, just gave a look, and a fierce flame burned from the warrior's body. In the raging fire, he quickly turned into ashes.
"Hurry up and save Uncle Osa!" Mei Tiantian shouted.
Xiao Chen came to Osa's side and saw him lying on the ground, his clothes soaked with blood. He used his mental power to scan Osa's body and found that he had more than fifty wounds of varying sizes from head to toe, and his hands and feet were broken in three places. Even Xiao Chen had to admire a warrior who could still hold back the enemy despite such injuries.
"If Uncle Osa and the other militiamen hadn't rushed out, we might have been killed by the Imperials." Umeda said.
"They exchanged their lives for ours," said Wu Zibin.
Louisa on the side couldn't help crying.
Osa was receiving Xiao Chen's healing magic and felt better. He said in a weak voice, "We were all going to die, but now you are alive. It's worth it. We are all worthless. If we can save a wizard, everyone will say it's worth it."
Wu Zibin said: "Uncle Osa, don't say that. You, you are very brave and powerful. We were all panicked at the beginning. We are far worse than you."
"No matter how powerful a child is, he is still a child. It's a pity that Kratt and the others were killed by the Imperials. If they knew that all the Imperials were dead and you were all fine, they would definitely be very happy."
Mei Tiantian said: "Brother Xiao Chen, this is all because we are too willful. I think we are not ready to come out to fight, and we are dragging everyone down."
"I don't think so. If it weren't for you, the attack on this town would have been much more serious. If you don't believe me, just ask Ji Yijun." Xiao Chen looked up at the city wall, and sure enough, Ji Yijun jumped down from the city wall, and Logan also flew down from him.
"Xiao Chen? Tian Tian? This is..." Ji Yijun said when he saw the dead body on the ground, "I was right. The imperialists are playing a trick and sending people to attack us from behind."
He saw the blood on Mei Tiantian's forehead, "Tiantian, are you okay? It's so embarrassing that you got into trouble right under my nose."
Xiao Chen briefly explained the situation here and asked, "It seems that you were also attacked on the other side?"
"Yes! About a hundred people, led by several soldiers, attacked the wall. But we repelled them. The guys here must have been sent by them to attack us from behind. If it weren't for Tiantian, Osa and the others who blocked these people, we would have been attacked from the front and back. According to the strength you described, as long as they rush up the wall, our militia may not be able to withstand it. Once the militia collapses, it will be dangerous." Ji Yijun said.
"So, we didn't cause any trouble?" Wu Zibin asked.
"No! Fortunately, you are here, otherwise the village would not just lose a few people." Ji Yijun said.
He squatted in front of the depressed Mei Tiantian and said, "Tiantian, you have to understand that this is a war, and all kinds of messes can happen. On the battlefield, there is never such a thing as one is one and two is two. We are just trying our best to achieve a less bad result. I heard what Xiao Chen said about you, and I was scared, but I was also very fortunate and proud of you. You fought for a better result for everyone."
"But it's too bad for those militia uncles." said Umeda.
Ji Yijun looked at the militiamen who died on the ground and sighed.
"It's very bad." Xiao Chen also squatted down, holding Mei Tiantian's arm with both hands and said: "But you have to remember that we don't have time to regret. We can only remember the past, and the only time we can make changes is tomorrow."
"Can this never happen again?"
"Perhaps not."
"That… "
"But this doesn't prevent us from learning from the lesson and then going all out in the next battle, right?"
Mei Tiantian stared at the sacrificed militiamen for a long time, nodded and said: "Well, I remember it." (To be continued)
