Chapter 29 A desperate battle between sword and magic(2/2)
On the water in the distance, another large raft was heading towards the breach. Even Lance, who had just been shot, swayed and moved towards this side.
Seeing that the situation was not good, Lana shouted back: "Fiona, prepare to liberate the Eternal Patriarch for the second time!"
Fiona had just gotten up from the ground, and before she had time to react, the armored rebel had already circled behind Lana and raised his armor-piercing hammer to hit him.
Lana fought and retreated, leaning towards Fiona.
Amid a gust of wind and shouts, the swarming armored soldiers were defeated. Several rebels who were outflanking him suddenly became confused.
Murat arrived. Wearing a double-layered armor composed of silver breastplate and dense mail, he held a three-meter long halberd and beheaded an armored rebel.
His halberd is the standard weapon of the centurion of the legion. It has a sharp spear and a sharp ax blade. The back of the ax is a hook-shaped sharp iron for hooking. It can use a variety of attack methods to destroy armor and helmets, and cut off swords.
It can strike or knock down horses. There is also a heavy metal weight at the end of the halberd, which can be used as a war hammer in the hands of a skilled warrior.
It is not difficult to use this weapon, and it can even be used as a reinforced spear to thrust forward in a battle array. However, only knights and veterans who have been trained for a long time can exert the true power of this heavy weapon.
Murat used a sharp spear to launch a short attack on the armor of the outflanking rebels. The armor-piercing spear pierced the shield and knocked one of the armor to the ground. He immediately turned his stab into a chop and swept it away with his axe.
The armored rebels were also strong warriors with rich combat skills and experience. They nimbly evaded the sweep by taking half a step back. They stepped forward like lightning and split Murat's breastplate with a sword, even damaging his inner parts.
Lined with mail, Murat immediately lost his distance advantage.
For a long weapon, this brief close encounter is enough to be fatal. But Murat pressed and retracted the front end of the halberd, and the sharp iron behind the ax blade tore an armored gauntlet apart while retracting it. Murat gave up completely.
In order to defend himself, he turned his halberd upside down with the bravery of sacrificing his own life, and struck the enemy head-on with the counterweighted hammer.
His blows were all in one go and unstoppable.
“Bang!” The armored soldier’s head shattered under his helmet and went down crookedly.
“Now it’s two versus nine.” Lana stood up, gasping for air, and was formed into a back-to-back formation by Murat.
Murat shook his head and handed the horse sword to his companion, "Change to a heavier weapon. The Eternal Patriarch will give it to Fiona and prepare for a combination of skills."
The armored rebels gathered in front of them slowly retreated. Although they retreated, their pace and formation remained intact.
Behind them, Lance appeared.
The turbid shallow water is littered with corpses. The blood and muddy water are solidified by the freezing air and have not yet melted. The cracked heads are looking up at the sky with hollowness and resentment. The severed limbs on the ground are like hands reaching out from hell to grasp the world of the living.
Lance crushed a rebel's head with his iron boots and walked over without a care. The remaining armored soldiers gathered around him and dispersed in an arc.
Every step he takes, he seems to be walking in the gap between reality and the abyss. As long as you stare at his figure, you will notice some kind of unspeakable disharmony and confusion.
…
Nona came to her companions holding a diamond-shaped shield and a long sword, and guarded the gap with Lana and Murat.
Kulala's leaping figure appeared on the distant roof. She was withdrawing from other positions and quickly climbed to the attic of a nearby house. She had set up a covering position there and could provide long-range support at any time.
The Shutorals have given up defenses in other areas and concentrated on the gap. Although other positions may also be breached, when the rebel leader is personally on the front line, it is not a big deal to allow the rebels to break through in other directions.
.
Homonworth's side has lost its transcendent, and can only concentrate all its power here.
“Gentlemen, combo,” Nona tapped her shield with her sword, “I will be the two pioneers!”
Sonia is here. She has just recovered from the mental trauma and her face is not very good, but she can still hold on.
Fiona retrieved the Eternal Patriarch and inserted the magic sword into the ground with both hands.
“Tough Shield, activated.”
The magic sword hummed, and bright ripples filled the air.
Fiona's eyes gradually lost their restless look and became as elegant and holy as the icons of the church. Colorful magic ripples connected the three Shutorals, forming a crystal halo on their bodies.
.
Thirty archers ran out from among the rebels. They lined up in a row before the leader arrived, and fired a hail of arrows at Shutoral who was guarding the gap from a distance. The arrows penetrated the shield.
But it was decelerated and weakened as if it were passing through water or cotton, and then bounced weakly and deflected on the breastplate.
As long as Fiona is still charging the Eternal Patriarch, the magic shield will always provide protection for the three of them. All attacks will first be weakened by the shield, and then their fine armor can be tested.
The wounds on Lana, who was covered by the shield, began to heal at a speed visible to the naked eye, and exhaustion and discouragement were swept away.
He clenched his fist with satisfaction, inserted the majestic fury into the scabbard on his waist, raised the horse-cutting sword and put it on his shoulder.
The three of them stood motionless in the rain of arrows. If it weren't for a powerful single attack, they would not be able to pose a real threat to them. Nona even temporarily put down her shield and took her horn bow to shoot again.
The thirty or so archers who gathered in front of the three of them were called out by her and the hidden Kurala one after another. The rebel archers could not shoot past the protection on the other side, but only one hit was enough for them to be fatal. After being shot down one after another,
After seven or eight of them, they scurried away.
Berthier and Thedius appeared at the gap immediately. Their faces were bloodless, but their whole bodies were surging with surging magic power. Their skin and clothes were surging like ripples and liquid, and they turned into the same
substances are connected into one.
Lana glanced at them in surprise. He could not detect the breath of living people at all. It was like a piece of ice and a ball of fire walking...
Having always been at the safe rear, they realized that they were on the verge of life and death and began to fight back frantically!
Berthier, who used to be gentle and shy, had a strange calmness and weirdness in his words:
“Witzleben has been killed.
“The echo communication has been partially restored, and Old Town will send more reinforcements and even supernatural beings, but it will take time. If we can’t stop this wave, let’s go to the underworld to sing.
“It is known that Lance is a rare Abyss Path Sequence 7 terrifying knight, possessing characteristics that suggest distortion and mutation. He has been trapped in this level for a long time, and may have powers that are unknown to the official.”
Dedius beside him was pulsing like a burning flame, and added in almost the same tone and tone:
“Leave the miscellaneous soldiers to us, and Shutoral will focus on dealing with Lance.”
Nona glanced at them in surprise: "You guys, could this be your plan? Stop it, it's too dangerous."
“No need to say more. (Stop talking nonsense.)”
Bertier and Didius moved closer to each other. They were wrapped in crazy magic power, and the activated magic circle did not appear beside them, but was directly imprinted in their eyes.
With every step they took, their bodies mutated and twisted.
After seven steps, they lose their human appearance and transform into humanoid masses of icy air and fire.
“The arrival of high-level elements. (The fusion begins.)”
The breathtaking and terrifying magical aura swept across the slope littered with corpses. The psychic ripples of the two people tended to be synchronized, merging with each other like elemental spirits. The dim light visible to the naked eye emitted from the dead corpses, which was being captured by the two of them.
,devour.
Lance, who was approaching, stopped and squinted his eyes to look at the astonishing scene in front of him. After a moment, he said calmly:
“I thought I was twisted enough,
“I didn’t expect you little bastards to give in too much.
“Don’t give them time to integrate, just attack with me!”
The fierce Lance drove straight towards the broken entrance under the cover of his armored attendants. He did not hold a strong bow, but a small shield and a flail that were weird like goat skulls, and rushed towards Murat.
Murat immediately responded with his halberd. His thrust was precise and fast, accurately hitting the sheep bone shield in Lance's hand.
“Bang!”
At the moment of the hit, Murat felt as if he had been collided by a war horse, and suddenly lost his center of gravity. The seemingly small shield not only deflected his full thrust, but also rebounded the force back, disrupting his rhythm.
.
Lance grabbed the flail and smashed it head-on at him.
This blow seemed ordinary, but it rolled in like a storm. Murat even saw the phenomenon of the space being distorted. He felt that the flail seemed to be accelerating repeatedly in several planes, or that it was in different planes.
The power of the flail is superimposed on this blow, which will definitely cause an irresistible fatal blow.
Nona used a diamond-shaped defensive shield to cut between Murat and Lance. Her strength is the strongest among the female Shutoral. She uses a sword and shield in combat, often supplemented by sharp spears, and can cope with various situations.
But when it came time to enter the battle, Nona did not dare to be careless and supported the shield with both hands to face the enemy.
“Boom!”
With a loud noise like thunder, the flail penetrated the tough shield, bent Nona's shield, and even broke her arm. Nona was directly knocked out, and she fell down with Murat.
Before Lance could retract the blow, Rana had already caught up and struck him head-on with his sword. The sharp edge of the sword blocked Lance's pursuit and even knocked him back several steps.
The rebels, all wearing armor and swords, stepped forward to help in the battle. However, they ran into something head-on and suddenly stopped.
Sonia has cast an invisible storm in front of them, separating them from the leader and blocking the way to support.
Although the blood of the warriors has more or less the ability to defeat demons, these armored rebels could not find a way to break through the barrier in a hurry. They could only take a circuitous route to the right and go around to the side without the barrier.
Then, they saw a mixture of ice and fire...
An unimaginable monster stood in front of the rebel armor. Two contradictory energies were constantly merging and breaking, erupting into a terrifying magic vortex. Red and blue particle-like mist swirled rapidly in the air.
This is a huge ball lightning. At the core of the lightning is a vague human figure. His legs cannot be seen clearly, but they are symmetrically divided into shapes of flames and frost.
It floats half a meter above the ground, its whole body is wrapped in an extremely thick silver shield, and the fire and ice orbs spin rapidly around its wrist.
It surged towards the armored rebels who looked frightened, and let out an inhuman and horrifying roar:
“Elemental Lord Berenius,
Chapter completed!
