Chapter 58 Assassination
Chapter 58 Assassination
Seeing this, the small captains of the soldiers immediately started shouting.
"Stay higher, don't shoot that skeleton!"
"Shoot the troops behind! Shoot back!"
"Throw! Throw me all!"
When the archers and crossbowmen heard the order, they raised their angles and shot at the enemies in the back row of the skeleton soldiers.
"Shhhhhh..."
Seeing this, Sumante immediately yelled.
"Shield!"
With a sound of "crash...", the soldiers immediately raised their shields.
The arrow hit the shield, making a "thump, boom, boom..." sound, but no casualties were caused.
Sumante continued to shout: "Skeleton soldiers! Charge!"
When the soldiers heard this, they immediately controlled the skeleton soldiers and rushed forward.
Yes, Thanos has not yet solved the problem of controlling the undead, so these skeleton soldiers are controlled by soldiers.
"Crack...Crack..."
With the sound of bones colliding, the skeleton soldiers began to rush towards the opened city gate.
Seeing this, Peart on the city wall asked the melee soldiers to stop him.
"Get up and move for me."
The exhausted and hungry soldiers, after hearing Lord Peart's yell, could only force themselves to get up, and then came to the gate of the city.
They are so tired.
I've been fighting all day, and I haven't even had dinner yet.
They can still stand up at this time, it is entirely the belief in protecting their homeland that supports them.
But can this kind of semi-disabled army really be able to resist the indifferent and ruthless skeleton soldiers who don't know what death is?
the answer is negative.
When the skeleton soldiers rushed up, the soldiers in the first row didn't even have the strength to hold their shields tightly.
"Ding ding dong dong."
The knocking of various swords and shields sounded.
After a while, as the soldiers in the first row fell down, the soldiers in the second row lost all morale when they saw the green soul fire of the skeleton soldiers and the teammates lying on the ground.
"Help, help me!"
"No, I don't want to die"
"Run, these monsters are too scary!"
Seeing this scene, Peart felt uncomfortable, and at the same time knew that he had to make a move.
Otherwise, it will be difficult to recover the situation when the troops under his command collapse.
So after drinking the last bottle of magic potion and spirit potion, he began to cast spells again.
"The Ring of the Earth!"
The Ring of the Earth is a zero-level earth wizard, and its function is to apply gravity to the target.
The power depends on the range of release, the degree of proficiency in mastering, and the amount of magic power used.
At this time, Pearte's mental power and magic power were almost dry, so the ring of the earth could only exert a gravity of about to kilograms on a hundred skeleton soldiers.
This made the skeleton soldier stagger suddenly, and even fell to the ground.
But soon, the skeleton soldiers adapted to this gravity, and then continued to chase the enemy.
It's just slower.
After all, the skeleton soldiers are all bones, and their own weight is very light. Even if they increase by to kilograms, they will not feel too much.
Seeing this, Peart raised his staff again, trying to mobilize the little magic power left in his body.
Outside the city walls.
Cynthia and Lu Qi hid in a bush, watching the enemy more than 50 meters away, holding their shields and advancing slowly.
They are on the left flank of the enemy.
And under the cover of grass and night, they are still slowly approaching.
But after reaching a distance of 30 meters, it is almost at the limit.
Because there is no grass in front, and the torch is also very bright, if you continue to move forward, you will definitely be found.
Lu Qi covered the wound on his chest, and asked with a look of embarrassment: "What should we do now?"
In the final fight against the Mountain Man, he was hit in the chest by the Mountain Man leader.
At this time, it is completely relying on the life energy in the body to maintain the action.
Once the life energy is exhausted, he is a disabled person.
"Cough cough."
After Cynthia coughed a few mouthfuls of blood, there was a firm look in her eyes.
"You kill from the front, and I will go around."
Hearing the almost death-like words, Lu Qi hesitated.
But soon, he nodded.
"Everything is for the family!"
The family gave them life, gave them a chance to survive, and gave them a chance to embark on the extraordinary road.
If there is no family, they are like ordinary civilians, working from five to nine every day, and they are still civilians until they die.
So for the sake of the family, and also for the sake of his offspring in the family, he had to make sacrifices.
After a while, he clenched his swords tightly, and the last life energy in his body began to surge, and he killed it directly.
"kill!"
In an instant, he crossed a distance of 30 meters.
The first soldier didn't even react, and his head and thighs were instantly cut off by the two swords.
Although the second soldier came to his senses, he was also pierced by the two swords and fell to the ground.
The soldiers around immediately panicked and turned around one after another.
This is the shortcoming of too many recruits.
Although the high-intensity training allowed the soldiers to form a phalanx, it still looked decent.
But they, who have never experienced fighting on the battlefield, instinctively fear and retreat when facing death.
And this retreat suddenly made a gap in the originally intact formation.
So the arrows on the city wall immediately shot into the phalanx, causing several casualties.
Seeing the confusion on the left wing, Sumant immediately ran over on a sloppy horse.
"Don't mess up, set up the formation! Stand up for me!"
Because of the night and too many people, he didn't see the enemy appear.
And when he paid attention to the enemy, he saw two swords attacking.
Before he even had time to think about it, he instinctively raised his shield.
"Ding!" There was a loud noise.
Feeling a huge force coming, he couldn't sit still anymore, and fell directly on Sloppy's back.
Official knights with extraordinary power and apprentice knights without extraordinary power are completely two levels.
Just like adults and children.
Seeing the double sword stabbing again, Sumante felt a burst of despair.
It’s over.
Malvina, my daughter, I will never see you again.
The reason why he desperately wanted to become a knight, and even followed Thanos to the general world, was naturally not just for himself.
But to see his daughter.
Because only by becoming an official knight can he enter that family, see his daughter again, and even get custody.
As the image of his daughter calling him father flashed in his mind, he felt a dull pain in his heart.
After a while.
The imagined pain did not come.
Looking carefully, he found that the two swords stopped about one centimeter in front of him.
The man in front of him was pale and his eyes were loose.
It turned out that the opponent lost his life due to excessive blood loss and exhaustion of life energy.
at the same time.
Thanos, who was in the rear, noticed that the riots on the left wing had not subsided for a long time, and felt uneasy for a while.
"What's going on? Why do I always feel a sense of danger."
Looking up and looking around, he found that there was darkness beyond the torch.
Tonight's moon is also hiding behind the dark clouds, and it's not clear at all from farther away.
