The Azure Longsword

Chapter 157: Attract monsters and focus fire

Views:

"Lucas is injured! Retreat quickly. Hans, you go to take his position. The gunners provide cover fire!"

"Tronro, block the left wing, don't let the snow monster break through the defense line! Reinhardt, move left to provide support!"

"What's wrong with the right wing! Nelson, work harder for me. I don't want to send your pension to that blonde widow of yours!"

As the pressure on the battle line increased further, Andrea had to start giving frequent orders, withdrawing exhausted or injured mercenaries from the front line and deploying reserve troops to block the front line.

Herman fought hard on the right wing of the front line. His frost sequence ability was almost negligible against the snow monsters that also had frost, so he just relied on the fighting skills he had learned since childhood to resist tenaciously.

Retreating to the cover of his companions, Herman took a deep breath to regain his strength. He glanced behind him and saw the girls of the Blue Sword standing up.

Are you finally going to take action? Yes. If the Iron Cross Mercenary Group is destroyed here, it will not be of any benefit to you.

Andrea, who was commanding the entire scene, naturally noticed the unusual movement of the Blue Sword behind him.

But unlike Herman’s idea, the first thought that popped into this guy’s mind was, “Are they going to take advantage of the chaos to kill me, steal the materials, and then turn around and run away?”

So he took a few steps forward calmly, using the team of gunners to cover himself.

Ask completely ignored his little action and just calmly instructed Mier:

"Pull the monster."

Mier raised the sniper rifle and pulled the trigger calmly.

A bullet spurted out from the flames at the muzzle and shot directly into the eye of a snow monster opposite.

The snow monster was waiting in the rear and did not join the battle with the Iron Cross mercenaries, so it was still "ownerless" for the time being.

Unlike the power of an ordinary rifle, this sniper bullet blew up one of its eyes almost instantly.

The injured snow monster screamed, its rationality quickly evaporated in its rage. It leaned down and rushed forward, breaking through the defenses of its companions and human mercenaries, and charged towards the people of the Blue Sword.

"Retreat the right wing and pull back the front line!" Andrea made a prompt decision and ordered the right wing to shrink back, leaving the snow monster over there to be dealt with by the Blue Sword in order to reduce the pressure on their front line.

Eleanor stepped forward first, holding the shield in her left hand to fight against the snow monster, and concentrating with the sword in her right hand, meditating on the deeds recorded in "The Song of Roland". For a moment, the image of a brave knight seemed to jump into her mind.

"… We will die for our country, and we won't have much time to live…"

The knight's long words seemed to echo in his ears.

"… but first the enemy will have to pay a heavy price…"

A pure white light gradually appeared on Eleanor's sword and shield, condensing and gathering, as if it were real, brilliant and glorious.

"...Everyone, take up your swords and kill with joy..."

“… Make a desperate struggle!”

As the knight roared wildly, Eleanor slashed heavily on the snow monster's body with her sword shining with white light.

White light suddenly exploded.

Damn it, failed again!

Eleanor was not discouraged. She calmly put the shield in front of her chest and blocked the snow monster's counterattack.
