Emolo's tone was provocative and relaxed, but in fact, the assassin's attention never left the mage's hands for a moment. The moment Xiuyin launched the attacking spell, the thin figure jumped up like a spring with full energy, and in the blink of an eye, it had already flashed to a place five meters away——With years of experience in fighting on the battlefield, Amo Luo knew that there was no gesture spell powerful enough to affect such a large range, and the opponent's attack would fail.
But when the bluish-white light arc burst into dazzling light, the seasoned killer realized that his judgment had made a fatal mistake. The high-ranking mage's lightning is not a thin blade—it's a densely woven piece—the strong blue light that escaped from the fingertips suddenly bloomed like a flower in the middle of the flight, and the condensed energy flow immediately scattered into a single The huge power grid opened its bloody mouth wide, trying to swallow everything in front of it.
At the same time when he realized the miscalculation, Emolo immediately accelerated to dodge again, but it was too late in time. The rushing light from the edge of the power grid caressed the assassin's black cloak, and the right half of his body that was touched immediately twitched due to the severe stinging pain. The numbness transmitted to the whole body made Emolo's consciousness blur in an instant. And when he woke up, his unbalanced body had already fallen from the roof.
Relying on well-trained motor nerves, the killer twisted his body upside down in mid-air, and luckily landed on both feet. However, the impact force transmitted from the lower body and the electric current burning his body made him grunt uncontrollably.
"My lord, are you alright?" the subordinate who rushed over asked cautiously.
"Of course it's okay~! What are you talking nonsense here~!?" Emolo glared at the other party viciously, "Go back to your position, and everything will go according to the original plan~!" The other party immediately retreated in fear.
I didn't expect to have such magic skills. Is this the power of Luvis' mages? So how strong is that witcher? Maybe... will exceed my predictions? The assassin stared at the battlefield not far away. There was a distance of more than 20 meters between Roland and him, and nearly 30 people separated him, but even so he could still feel the cold wind blown by that huge weapon.
If that's the case... Emolo's expression became serious. No, he can't have that quick reflexes, and I have another backup plan. That's right, everything is under control, and the result will definitely be the same as expected~!
Before fighting the demon hunters, the assassins were clearly aware of the disadvantages of short weapons. In order to reverse this, the six people at the front formed a semicircular attack surface, which not only controlled the entire street , and put the other party in the heart of a dangerous circle that everyone can attack.
The next moment, after a tacit exchange of glances, the six of them launched an attack at the same time. The poisonous three-jab blade, long dagger, and scimitar wedged into the death knight's confrontation field from six different angles, and several snipers in the distance shot sharp arrows without losing the opportunity.
The cold arrow was once again blocked by the magic barrier, and it slid down from the invisible but solid barrier with a scream. At the same time, Roland lowered his center of gravity, took a step forward, and put all his strength on the weapon in his hand. Frost Lamented splitting the air, and the sharp edge wrapped in the breath of death drew a blue trajectory.
The sword wind lightly swept over the waists of the four people on the left, and the assassins didn't even have time to let out a scream before they were cut into two pieces, and the broken weapon fragments flew into the air with splashes of red, but the other two did not. Use this opportunity to cut to the right side of the witcher. The next moment, the shining dagger almost pierced his eyes, but Roland took another step towards the light of the sharp blade. The sword's momentum, which was already sluggish, gained a second momentum, drawing an arc of light again. This arc forcefully cut off the attack of the two assassins, and brought up bright blood and fuzzy pieces of meat.
In an instant, the death knight's two-stage slash completely destroyed the opponent's best coordinated attack, and even shattered them. Looking at the remains of severed limbs that were difficult to identify, even the assassins who were used to seeing bloody scenes couldn't help showing shaken eyes.
"Do you think this sword is used to scare people?" Roland said jokingly, and glanced at his companions behind him out of the corner of his eyes.
Katoli and Renn's defense was impeccable. In order to preserve their strength to deal with unexpected situations, neither of the two paladins planned to attack with all their strength, but the assassins also did not dare to swarm up and surround them—the high-ranking mages behind them could always find the right time to release one or two bolts of lightning or A string of magic missiles killed a few unlucky ones, and those charred corpses did serve as an example to others.
If there were no accidents, they would be able to break out of the siege at dawn... The demon hunter speculated, and the assassins in front of him finally came to their senses. The killers stood in front of Roland again, but this time no one dared to attack recklessly again. They just wandered outside the range of the confrontation, like patient hounds, quietly waiting for the moment when the opponent showed their flaws.
The Assassins who had an absolute advantage in numbers adopted defensive methods to avoid confrontation, but their numbers continued to decrease. The demon hunter's movements were precise and quick, and every attack he made would never miss, and even if it was only touched by the strong wind brought by the big sword, the killers would lose their hands and feet, and the slow ones would be pierced through their bodies. So far, Roland has cleared out five more enemies.
The killers who surrounded the team from behind were also at a stalemate. The existence of high-level mages made them unable to cooperate effectively. Not only that, but five of them had already been killed—four of them died of magic, and the other was killed by Cato. Li cut her throat.
Sixteen people actually died~! If this continues, they will be able to rush out of the village at dawn, and I will lose at least fifteen more men... The whole situation is worse than Emolo's worst guess. His eyes could not help revealing an expression of anxiety and uneasiness. However, when the witcher killed the sixth man, the wily planner finally showed a sneer—he saw the scene he had been looking forward to for a long time.
Roland no longer paid attention to the arrow feathers shooting at him.
Since the defensive barrier can withstand all long-range attacks, you might as well focus on the immediate battle. After really feeling the power of magical support, no matter who will make this choice, right
The three assassins quickly exchanged defensive positions in front of the demon hunter, slashing their swords threateningly from time to time. Compared with the few just now, the skills of these three were much more exquisite. They can always quickly jump to the distance before Roland swings the sword, and once the death knight tries to move forward, these lingering guys will come up again, holding back from the most uncontrollable side of the big sword.
But in fact, the current speed of Frost Lament is far from Yunyao's level. If Roland attacks with all his strength, no matter what direction the opponent uses his sword, he will be chopped into two halves. The reason why the death knight slowed down was just to wait for his companions to catch up-if he went too deep into the enemy line, the team would be split into two parts, and that would lead to a fatal defeat.
This stalemate won't last long, and with luck, you'll be able to crawl home after a while. After realizing that the team's center of gravity had moved closer to him, Roland pursed his lips and raised the great sword in his hand.
At the same time, Emolo made a gesture, and four sharp arrows immediately shot at the demon hunter who lowered his posture. The cold moonlight caressed the sharp arrow head, like a stream of silver-gray water in the darkness, followed by the crisp cracking sound of the magic barrier.
What~! ? Roland watched those poisonous snake-like flying arrows rushing towards him, his water-colored pupils dilated instantly.
The death knight immediately blocked Frost Wrath in front of him reflexively, and rolled on the ground at the same time. The broad shield-like sword shielded two of them, and the bright line drawn by the other arrow feather pierced through his cloak, but the last sharp arrow successfully bypassed all obstacles and got into the In the arms of the witcher.
"Kaos~!" All this happened so suddenly that the high-level mage could only shout the opponent's name hoarsely.
"Quick, kill him~!" Emolo ordered hastily, and the assassins moved at a faster speed. In order to prevent a single hit, Emolo specially prepared two backup crossbowmen. Now they have emerged from hiding and fired the second wave of demon-breaking arrows. The two killers closest to the prey also rushed to the side of the street with knives. Roland who has not regained his balance.
A bolt of lightning whizzed past the death knight's head, and then split into two branches, accurately hitting the chests of the two killers. The next moment, Katoli's light figure was reflected in Roland's eyes, and the girl stood in front of the death knight in an instant, and carefully received the incoming arrow feathers with her small shield.
"Kaos, answer me quickly~! Are you okay? Answer me~!" Even though the enemy was just a few meters away, the girl turned her head from time to time, and cast her anxious eyes on the witcher.
"I was careless for a while, but fortunately I was not injured. Don't worry." Roland returned to normal, and slowly raised his left hand. The arrow that caused everyone's chaos was there-the death knight directly shot it at the last moment. Hands grabbed it.
The girl showed a relieved smile, and her originally dull eyes were full of spirit and confidence again.
If I was really shot in the chest by this kind of poisonous arrow, then the whole world would know that I am a death knight... Even though it is easy to block the arrow feathers, I was too careless to let them get close to this distance~ ! Roland secretly blamed himself. I can't let the truth be revealed yet, and I can't let you know my identity... I'm not ready yet... Such an accident, there must never be a next time~!
"Is this probably the luck of the weak?" Emolo sarcastically sarcastically. The assassin successfully concealed his annoyance and disappointment, but at the same time he was very clear that the trump card of the Demon Arrow was completely useless. Then they will definitely treat Fei Ya with ten times more caution than usual.
"It's a pity that your plot has failed." Katoli replied coldly.
"This is just the beginning, now I'm really curious, if you have to face these poisoned magic-breaking arrows while fighting, how long can you last~!" Emolo said, whistled suddenly, Six snipers appeared on the roofs on both sides of the street.
"It seems that the defensive barrier is no longer effective." Xiu Yin judged, leaning his back against the building next to the street.
"Since we know that they are magic-breaking arrows, we won't let them get close." Ren wiped the fine sweat from his head.
"But in that case, we will be here for a longer time, and we may be surrounded by people from the Knights..." Roland scanned the surroundings, and there were enemies in front of him, and they were encircling here step by step. But the next moment, the death knight suddenly found a slightly closed wooden door next to him, and he immediately called out to the others, "Go inside the house~! This way we can resist for a while~!"
Frost Lamented immediately drew a huge semicircle in mid-air, the assassins hurriedly avoided, and when the trail of blue light faded, their prey had disappeared behind the closed wooden door.
"This strengthening technique can resist for a while, and the poisonous gas can't get in for a while." Xiu Yin briefly explained the spell that was cast on the door just now. The mage then shook the wand, and the pure white light overflowed the crystal on the head of the wand. The darkness in the room was dispelled.
But when the surrounding scene became clear, the four of them immediately felt a burst of suffocation—accompanied by the pungent bloody smell, a thin corpse came into their sight. A shockingly large hole was opened in the little boy's throat, which was obviously a masterpiece dug out by a sharp dagger, and the thick blood gushing out of the hole stained the entire ground red.
"That's... Freund~!?" Roland finally recognized the identity of the deceased from the distorted facial features.
"It's really that brat who turned out like this, those damned assassins..." Xiu Yin's voice was mixed with disgust and shock.
Katoli rushed up with a single stride, desperately picking up the cold and stiff boy from the pool of blood. Freund's lifeless eyes stared straight at the ceiling, as if he was talking about the pain and fear of the last moment before he died. The young girl who witnessed all this was instantly emptied of her thoughts, leaving only a bleak whiteness in her mind.
Enoch Village has been completely destroyed, all because of you~! If they hadn't come to this village rashly, how could they have fallen victim to the battle? Not only that, you just made the decision to betray them~! A sharp voice cut her soul mercilessly, causing the girl's shoulders to tremble uncontrollably.
Katoli felt as if she had fallen into the bottom of the ice cellar.
"These guys are no different from demons at all. Their existence must be erased. This is also the responsibility of paladins." Ren said solemnly, "Let's break through the wall and rush out to kill all the scum of the Shadow Guild. The people of Enoch Village will take revenge~!"
"I have to apologize for my suspicious behavior before. I'm sorry, Freund, and all the villagers here..." Xiu Yin bowed deeply to the corpse, and then the mage's pupils ignited an angry flame, "My magic power It is enough to use Burning Cloud Technique once, at least 30 assassins can be burned to death. I believe this blow can play a role in deciding the outcome, but the disadvantage is that it takes a long time to prepare. Ren, Kaos, etc. will start fighting Please be sure to protect me..."
"That's enough, stop talking~!" Katoli carefully closed her eyes for Freund, then stood up.
Revenge and salvation, people can only choose one of them, it is impossible to kill two birds with one stone, what choice will you make? Seeing the tragedy in front of him, even the death knight whose blood had already been frozen could not help but have the idea of destroying those killers, but Roland didn't speak, just stared at her quietly from the side.
"Is there any problem, Katoli?" Ren was a little strange.
"Have you forgotten the mission to find the World Tree? These killers are obviously gathering here to delay time. If we fight them here, we will only fall into the trap of the Fahdods, and finally be killed by the knights." The encirclement and annihilation of the regiment~! I cannot allow you to do this, and absolutely must not forget our mission~!"
"I think it is also our responsibility to avenge these villagers." The silent demon hunter suddenly spoke.
Roland's words made Katoli's face turn pale, and the girl's petite body shook uncontrollably, but her tone remained firm: "Even if all the assassins are killed, Enoch Village will not be able to return to its original state, and... The people of the alliance and the goddess Luvis are still waiting for us to go back. Only we can destroy the world tree, and then destroy the ambition of the undead army, and restore peace to the alliance with hundreds of millions of people. We must not stop here now~! "
"We are not trying to commit suicide. These assassins are not difficult to deal with. Even if the Knights really arrive, there will be Kaos to deal with the sword fighting spirit." Xiu Yin retorted the captain in a rare way.
"There's no need to risk your life here," Katoli glanced at her companions, and finally made her eyes meet those of the witcher, "If you feel that escaping will cause your conscience to be condemned... why don't you let me bear the burden? Blood karma~! After all, I am the one who made the decision to come to this village. After returning to the holy capital, I will ask the Holy See to punish me. This is the only thing I can do for them. But now... definitely not Make a wrong decision for someone who is already dead~!"
Are you unwilling to raise your sword for vengeance even after witnessing such horrors? Roland's water-colored pupils dilated instantly, and the death knight widened his eyes, but he didn't know how to face the girl who was staring at him. Why did you make this choice? Because of your indifference to the deaths of these villagers... no, or because of your aversion to the Dark Eagle? after all…
"Time is running out, we have to get out of this predicament now, Xiu Yin, can you use the transfer phalanx?" Katori turned her face away, hiding her expression in the darkness that the crystal light couldn't care about.
"It's far away from the big river, and the magic power is fairly stable. But I'm not familiar with the surrounding terrain at all, and the failure rate of teleportation in this situation is still very high." When the mage replied, his eyes were very complicated.
"It doesn't matter, just cross this wall and teleport to the next house." The girl explained briefly, "The houses in this village are all built back to back, we can go out from the next door to the neighboring building. On the street, this can at least get rid of half of the pursuers, so let's start casting spells now."
"I'll stay and meet you at the bridge Freund said before dawn," Roland said.
"Kaos~! What's going on with you~! I've already said, no... I can't let you..." Katoli's tone was mixed with a hint of crying, but the witcher just patted the other party shoulders.
"Someone must restrain the members of the Shadow Guild, otherwise they will catch up with them again in a short time. The assassin's speed is very fast." Roland replied with a smile, "Don't worry, since the captain has made a decision, of course I will I will not defy you. Once I find an opportunity, I will quickly break through the siege and join you."
"Can you deal with those sniper crossbows by yourself? And their weapons are all poisonous... You must be fine?" The worry in the girl's eyes was lingering.
"I promise." Roland replied seriously.
The girl nodded, and Xiu Yin and Renn on the side blessed their companions with their eyes. The next moment, accompanied by the ups and downs of singing, the blue light that transferred the magic circle slowly rose, making the silhouettes of the three of them instantly turn into blurred shadows .
Due to fate, we all have our own unavoidable enemies... Katoli, I originally thought that you and I were the same kind, we were both strugglers who had to burn our souls because of the karmic fire of hatred. But I didn't understand until now that this kind of thinking is completely wrong. Roland silently stared at the light surrounding the magic circle until the surrounding darkness surrounded him again.
Perhaps, if it were you... Catori Orlande... fate would be different...
Water-colored flames gushed out from the depths of the death knight's eyes.
"What, the poisonous gas can't seep in?" When he found that the clover gas couldn't get in through the gaps in the doors and windows, Emolo's tone became anxious, "Those guys must have used defensive spells, damn it. Clean it up immediately These waste gas, forcibly smash the door open for me~! The crossbowmen are ready to release arrows~!"
A few minutes later, after Ziwu was dispelled by the assassins, a burly killer walked to the wooden door with a huge double-edged ax in hand. This weapon is specially made for breaking demons. When attacking, it can not only smash the door directly, but also easily break through the enhanced enchantment of the mage.
The assassin raised his axe, but before he had enough strength to swing it, Frostmour's icy point tore the entire door to pieces, and then the huge weapon pierced through the hapless ghost standing at the door, sharp The blade of his sword pierced through his back without hesitation, and the organs and blood it brought out spilled all over the floor.
The crossbowman who reacted immediately shot sharp arrows at the demon hunter, but all of them were buried in the trembling body of his companion. Then the death knight swung the weapon violently, and the corpse hanging on the sword flew into it together with the axe. In the enemy's formation, he overwhelmed two assassins who couldn't dodge.
"Are you dying?" Emolo stared at him with incredulous eyes, "There are nearly a hundred people here, but you plan to fight us single-handedly? Did the other three hide in the corner of the room trembling?" went?"
"It's a pity, if there are so many people here, you will be able to witness the rare beheading of a hundred people." Roland narrowed his eyes and responded coldly, "But even so, it is still considered to be able to die under this sword. An honor to you scum of the world."
As soon as the words fell, Shuang Wai had brought a cold wind wrapped in the breath of death.
Although the sun has not yet risen, the sky has faded from its pure black color, and the originally conspicuous moon has also been hidden in the light blue background, and dawn is coming.
"It's finally here, look, it's there~!" Ren said excitedly pointing to the distance, the vague long snake-like suspension bridge was looming in the mist, and the roar of the rushing river was pouring into everyone's ears at this moment. When they reached this end of the suspension bridge, the three finally got to witness the majestic gesture of the Glendale River.
"Here... is this the most turbulent place on the Glendale River?" Even the well-informed high-ranking mage couldn't help being dumbfounded, "You want us to cross such a suspension bridge?"
The width of the river is more than 100 meters, and the cliffs on both sides are at least 40 meters high, but it is still too narrow in front of thousands of troops gathered by the current~!
The azure blue waves are layered on top of each other, the turbulent water pushes one after another, and the never-ending huge waves hit the hard rock again and again, stirring up one after another straight into the sky. After climbing to the apex of the height, the water column disintegrates into torrential rain and pours down head-to-head, turning into curling and thick mist, wrapping the true face of the river in the body, and only making the thunderous roar reverberate around .
The Glendale River is like a giant snake surrounded by violent wind and thunder, swimming violently in the bottomless dark abyss, and exhales a low breath from the depths of its throat, making the steel whip-like The sound whipped the fleeing air currents.
The steel cable suspension bridge hanging high above the cliff is simply a strand of hair tied to the neck of this giant snake, and it seems that it may be broken at any time.
"Will you be hit by the waves when you walk halfway?" The paladin subconsciously grabbed the steel cable on the side, and the trembling from the cold surface made him swallow involuntarily, "Xiu Yin, you can't Use the transfer square to teleport to the other side
"This is the intersection of the world and the spiritual world. Do you know how high the concentration and instability of magic power is?" The mage who came back to his senses replied with a wry smile, "If the power transmission of a single person is really so stable, neither can the alliance It is necessary to set up Luzhi Temple and a single-pole directional circle... Don't forget, even the undead have to rely on the Dark Portal for ultra-long-distance movement."
"Shuyin, check out the surrounding situation first." Katori ordered, but she turned her head away and stared intently at the road leading to Enoch Village.
Time passed tirelessly, and after three quarters of an hour, the pale golden sunlight finally crossed the barrier constructed by the mountains and spread down along the tall outline, painting everything with bright colors. At the same time, the figure of the girl looking forward to also entered the sight of the three of them.
Katoli's expression relaxed in an instant, but after only a few seconds, she tensed her body again, and quickly drew out the dagger at her waist—behind the demon hunter, Fajdo, who had more than a hundred people The German knights have formed an arrow-like charge formation, and the galloping horses are rapidly shortening the distance between Roland and the pursuers. Hundreds of sharp blades reflect the cold light, trying to tear the death knight into pieces.
"I didn't expect the Fahdods to come so fast, we have to stop those knights~! Ren, Xiuyin, come with me~!"
"Wait a minute, Katoli, the situation on the other side is very bad." The high-ranking mage stopped the girl's movements, and his fingers pointed to the other end of the suspension bridge—several vague shadows were shuttled back and forth, as if to block the girl's movement. Narrow drawbridge entrance.
"It seems to be assassins from the Shadow Guild, they actually set up an ambush here?" Ren stepped forward and looked carefully at the other side.
"There are six people in total," Xiu Yin said after finishing the magic detection. "It's not too many, but it's very bad for us. If we just let it go, I'm afraid we will have to face enemies on both sides..."
what to do? If the way forward is blocked, then our fight all night will be completely meaningless... But, I absolutely can't keep Kaos~! Katoli's face showed a restless expression. For this young captain, there were too many dangers encountered along the way, but the options available were always pitifully few.
"I'll deal with them." A big warm hand rested on the girl's shoulder.
"Ren?" Katoli's voice was filled with imperceptible surprise.
"Anyway, I've wanted to deal with these bloodthirsty bastards a long time ago," the paladin shrugged effortlessly. "If there are only six people, one paladin is enough."
The girl subconsciously avoided the other party's gaze, and after thinking for a few seconds, she lowered her head: "Then, I will leave this to you, be careful."
Ren nodded confidently, and then stepped steadily on the slightly shaking cable suspension bridge.
Hurry up and recall Yun Yao's skills, so that your senses will be more concentrated and your speed will be faster~! Then get rid of those killers and clear a safe way forward for the team~!
This is not only for Katoli and the mission, but also for making yourself a warrior who can stand alone~! Only in this way, you are qualified to stand in front of that genius swordsman without flinching~! The paladin told himself this, and gripped the icy hilt tightly. The torrential rain from the river wet his curly brown hair and made the blade shine even more sharply.
The distance between the Fahdod and Roland in the front has narrowed to three meters. The knight on the horse leaned forward impatiently, and stretched out the spear in his hand with all his strength. The shining tip of the weapon almost touched the demon hunter. Man with flying hair. But at this moment, a wave of icy cold air rushed towards him.
This whistling air current was like ripples on the water surface, spreading out at the speed of chasing the wind, and piercing into the armor made of steel, the knights suddenly felt tingling pain all over their bodies. In the next instant, a solid ice wall rose without warning, drawing a thick and straight white line behind the death knight, and the horses that were caught off guard immediately slammed into it. The knight was also thrown into the air, and the tumbling and colliding man and horse immediately stirred up a large cloud of broken ice and dust.
The huge arrow made of iron flow stagnated for a moment in front of the milky white barrier, but at the next moment, it gained new momentum—the knights behind didn't care about the life and death of their companions at all, they skillfully manipulated their mounts to insert from the neutral position, Then he jumped over the low ice fence and continued his pursuit.
"Kaos, watch out from behind~!" Katori cupped her hands in the shape of a trumpet and shouted loudly.
The demon hunter stopped in an instant, turned around suddenly, and a stern sword fighting spirit was flying flat against the ground. The big sword in Roland's hand immediately drew a horizontal arc correspondingly. A frantic yellow storm.
And when the dust fell to the ground, a figure that made Catoli's blood boil was reflected in the eyes of the three of them.
