When Hao Ren rushed down from the holy mountain while bombing indiscriminately, Veronica's expression was bewildered.
In fact, not only her, but everyone at the scene looked dazed, including the monsters who were being bombarded indiscriminately. The difference is that the latter belongs to being bombarded...
A man rushing down the hill with a bomb—Veronica was still impressed by this weird scene many years later, and then she realized how unnatural such a scene was, but now, she just deeply Shocked by the devastating explosion, and the shocking fact that a living person ran down from the holy mountain.
"Holy Spirit!" Morian's war horse swayed uncomfortably in the flames of the explosion, and the old knight exclaimed in a low voice while stabilizing his mount, "Has the incarnation of flame and storm descended from the sky?"
"boom!!"
The man rushing down from the mountain shook his finger at the monster in the distance, and a sparkling crack opened suddenly from behind him, and a silver-white giant arrow with light spouting from the back flew out of the crack, slashing across. Breaking through the sky and falling into the chaotic army in the distance with an arc, the explosion this time was far more powerful than before, and it could even be called terrifying—a fireball with a diameter of 100 meters erupted rapidly, and hundreds of monsters instantly turned into monsters. After the fireball was extinguished, a small mushroom cloud gradually rose from the explosion point.
The explosion point was actually far away from the knights' line, but Veronica still felt a scorching air wave blowing herself almost off her horse. She couldn't help but be shocked: What the hell is this? Few of the royal mages in the court could create a fireball technique of this scale, right? !
At this time, Hao Ren had already run to less than 100 meters in front of the Knights. He had just used a disintegration missile that he had brought in from the Erim elves with great distress. He had not enough reserves of this non-polluting mini nuclear weapon There are many, but the effect is extremely impressive: the largest wave of chasing soldiers behind the Knights has been destroyed by the nuclear bomb, and the weird black mist has become much thinner after being torn by the big explosion, although they seem to gather and recondense to form monsters , but at least in a short period of time the pressure on the Cavaliers will be reduced a lot.
"Come here quickly! Run this way!" Hao Ren shouted in front of the knights, "This is the way up the mountain! There is no fog on it!"
Although he didn't know the origin of these knights, nor what happened to the monsters that appeared out of thin air, the fact that the two groups of people were about to beat their brains out was obvious. To a group of locals naturally try to save them.
Otherwise, ask someone for directions.
Veronica saw that powerful "caster" pointing the way to her soldiers. Of course, she was suspicious of the other party's identity, but she couldn't allow her to think about it in this situation. In addition, the mysterious man just now It was indeed a helping hand to her side, so she raised her long sword after a short hesitation: "Knights! Follow the guidance of this hermit!"
Hao Ren was stunned for a moment. He didn't know why he turned his face and was identified as a hermit, but this did not affect his skillful business methods—he threw more explosives to the flanks of the knight order, and then he Switching weapons, with a plasma spear in one hand and an inspector in one hand, they began to fight fiercely with the monsters that had rushed nearby.
Veronica fell into even greater consternation.
She didn't expect that this mysterious "hermit" was not only a powerful mage, but also good at hand-to-hand combat, and that kind of fighting method with a spear while shooting with an alchemy weapon was unheard of. Although it was the first time Princess Knight served as a commander, it was not the first time she was on the battlefield. She could tell at a glance that the opponent's strange combat skills were by no means flamboyant; The timing is perfect. This is a skill that must be practiced on a cruel battlefield, and it cannot be mastered without rich experience.
If she knew how many boss-level monsters Hao Ren had fought with, and what kind of superhumans he usually trains with, it wouldn't be so strange—Hao Ren's melee combat ability was trained with Lily. .
All in all, with all kinds of explosives and the knights fighting bravely to open the way, the tide of monsters that had not yet fully gathered was finally torn open a path. This almost desperate knight squadron saw the hope of survival and rushed towards the mountain immediately. Hao Ren turned his head and ran ahead of Veronica and Morian Knight to lead the way. Seeing that this mysterious ally could only walk on foot, the old knight immediately shouted at his horse: "Hermit! There are extra horses behind!"
Hao Ren didn't even raise his head: "No, your horses may not be as fast as me - if I don't take it easy, you won't be able to catch up with me!"
As he said that, he kept running at the same speed as the war horses, just like what he said: if he ran open, these ordinary horses might not be able to catch up with him...
This is honed when running around to catch Lily and roll. It is not easy to live with monster girls, and it is even more difficult if there are two bastards among the monster girls who like to run around.
At this time, Veronica had become numb to what happened in front of her. She no longer doubted whether this mysterious man was friendly or not, but began to guess the origin of him—in the depths of this forgotten barren wilderness, on the extinguished holy mountain. In the temple, a big living person suddenly appeared, how should this be explained
Her Royal Highness, who liked to read adventure stories since she was a child, couldn't help but have rich associations. A story gradually took shape in her mind. This story included a certain holy battle in the last era, a group of fanatical warriors guarding the temple, and a nearly entire army. The annihilated defense battle, the last surviving veteran, a forgotten temple and the hermit standing alone in the temple... Princess Knight was so moved by herself.
That’s right, that’s how it should be. The Kasuan Temple used to be a famous and great temple in the previous generation, but it was swallowed by chaos after all. Perhaps one of the guardians of the former temple survived, and then it became a world of darkness. A hermit watching alone.
It is said that the strong of the previous generation can live forever.
Veronica shook her head vigorously, it is not a good habit to be distracted on the battlefield.
And at this moment, a ray of golden light from the side shocked the old knight and Veronica at the same time:
The tattered battle flag in the hands of the flag bearer finally completed charging, and pale golden sparks danced between the rune threads. The sparks gathered more and more, and finally gathered into a golden light.
The brilliance of the golden battle flag shines on everyone. Although the light is weak, it seems to have the supreme power of existence. Where the light shines, the darkness and chaos immediately recede.
The distorted creatures that condensed from the darkness wailed and retreated the moment they touched the light of the golden battle flag. There were waves of gray-white smoke rising from their bodies, as if they were burned by the light, and those who had already rushed to the knight The monsters in the team battle formation had no time to retreat into the darkness. They struggled and twisted violently in the light, exuding a pungent burnt smell, and turned into dust all over the ground almost in the blink of an eye.
The monsters that were still able to move quickly retreated into the darkness as if fleeing from natural enemies, and their shapes returned to nothingness in the mist, just like they were reversed when they appeared.
The light of the battle flag slowly spread to the surroundings. Where the light shrouded, the fog would become thinner and the shadows would melt away. Soon the lingering and depressing atmosphere dissipated, and the surroundings gradually calmed down.
At this time, the team had already rushed through the gentle uphill at the foot of Kasuan Mountain, and there was a steeper mountain road ahead.
Hao Ren watched in amazement as a flag emitted light and dispersed the seemingly endless army of monsters that could never be truly killed. He couldn't help raising his eyebrows, and his eyes fell on the piece in the hands of the flag bearer. Rags".
The light gold cloth is embroidered with blue and silver silk threads to depict delicate statues of goddesses. Although the edges of the banner are torn, only the statues of gods are still intact.
It's clearly a powerful magical item... strictly speaking, a religious item.
"Your Highness, the war horse is dead!"
The call of a personal guard knight also woke up Veronica from her stupor—the sudden release of the crisis made the princess a little relaxed accidentally. She looked around and noticed that the horses under the knights were shaking one by one. The hair of these loyal mounts became gray, curly and dull at a speed visible to the naked eye, and their eyes gradually became bloodshot.
Veronica looked at the steep mountain road ahead and ordered to abandon the horse.
"It's no longer possible to ride horses in front of us. Everyone walks on the ground."
After a sound of armor clashing, more than twenty knights left their mounts and followed Hao Ren up the mountain. Before leaving, each of them fed some kind of herbal medicine to their war horses.
Hao Ren glanced back and saw those horses fell silently one after another, and were soon swallowed by darkness. (to be continued~^~)
