Chapter 707 The Guardian's Halberd (recommended monthly ticket)
"It's not too late, let's hurry up!" Cedric didn't expect Percy and others to appear suddenly.
But this is also very reasonable to say, the third team originally set off before them, and now it is considered slow to arrive at the shopping mall.
But even though time is running out, everyone dare not rush straight in. They have to go around to the right first, otherwise it will be troublesome to attract the guards at the main entrance.
When a group of six people arrived at the corresponding location, although the battle sound on the left side of the shopping center was still fierce, it was much weaker than at the beginning. It seems that Percy and others moved very quickly, and it may not be long End the fight.
"Bones to pieces!" ×6
After making a detour and approaching the right side door, Cedric and the others cast a spell almost at the same time without any hesitation. Six shattering spells were shot at the garrisoned skeleton soldiers in no particular order.
"Ow!"
The skeleton knight, who was obviously an elite monster, did not hesitate after seeing everyone, and immediately howled dryly, and raised the long spear with the flag in his hand high.
Immediately afterwards, a faint wave of magic spread around the spear as the center, and gradually covered the soldiers stationed at the side door, as if blessing something for them.
"Boom!"
A series of six shattering curses accurately hit the six skeleton soldiers, but a scene that surprised everyone appeared.
Except for the spell cast by Penello that successfully smashed an enemy, the rest of the skeleton soldiers only took a few steps back after receiving the attack, and then rushed towards the crowd yelling as if nothing happened.
"The flag gun in the skeleton knight's hand is wrong!" Penello immediately reminded everyone when he saw this.
"I see, that piece of equipment seems to be able to improve the defense of the surrounding soldiers, we must get rid of him first, otherwise we will inevitably fall into a hard fight!" Hermione realized that she had cast two shatter spells in a row before crushing a skeleton. , hurriedly shouted anxiously.
"It's really troublesome, leave that guy to me, you stand up to other enemies!" Cedric, who reacted quickly, greeted a few people around him, and then rushed into the crowd with a heavy hammer in his hand.
Soon, the six wizards attacking the right door divided into two groups. Cedric chose to single-handedly find the skeleton knight, while the rest tried to resist the miscellaneous soldiers.
Cedric's side was very fierce. No one could resist him holding the [Skeleton Hammer]. After a while, he cleared a path with his speed and equipment, and went straight to the skeleton knight.
It's not that the skeleton soldiers around didn't want to besiege Cedric, but the Weasley twins also had a tacit understanding to help their companions cover.
As long as there are skeleton mobs trying to get close to Cedric, they will be tripped by the binding spell they shoot.
After fighting fiercely for a while, the rest of the team discovered that these skeleton soldiers were not only strengthened for defense, their strength seemed to have increased as well.
Basically everyone in the team has captured one or two [Bone Shields], so they are not particularly afraid of melee combat, but the attack strength of these skeleton soldiers in front of them is obviously much higher than before, which makes the shields in everyone's hands durable. The speed crashed.
This ferocious offensive shocked everyone, so they could only fight and retreat.
Fortunately, there was a fifth grader Penello in the team at this time. Her spell casting strength was obviously higher than that of the others, and every shattering spell could kill a skeleton soldier.
But there are at least 30 skeleton soldiers coming up to attack, and half of them are skeleton archers. The strength and rate of fire of these long-range arrows have also been significantly enhanced, and everyone is shot like a rat.
If this continues, they will be hanged or even killed in a short time.
The opponent's attack was so fierce that it almost made everyone suspicious. At this moment, they were all curious, how did Percy's team attacking on the left side deal with these guys?
However, Cedric did not disappoint the teammates behind him who were covering him at this time. After breaking through a layer of guarded skeleton soldiers, he quickly caught the skeleton knight.
Don't look at this skeleton knight's tall horse, but after the real hand-to-hand combat, the performance is not as powerful as imagined.
I don't know why, but when the skeleton knight saw Cedric approaching, he neither chose to drive his horse forward to meet the enemy, nor turned around to flee. Instead, he froze in place like a fool.
Of course, it cannot be said that the other party is a motionless wooden sculpture. After Cedric approached, it brandished a long spear bravely and stabbed at Cedric.
But in the face of such a motionless enemy, it is strange that Cedric can be hit by it. He simply bowed his head and easily dodged the opponent's attack. hammer.
After the skeletal warhorses were hit by this heavy hammer, their entire heads and necks were immediately smashed to pieces, and the skeleton knight above also fell instantly.
Facing Cedric's next few rounds of hammer blows, the Skeleton Knight barely parried a few moves before being hit by Cedric who found a gap.
"boom!"
After a loud noise, the skeleton knight was smashed into pieces by the [Bone Hammer], and the dozens of skeleton soldiers boosted by the flag gun also weakened rapidly, without their original bravery.
After finishing off the skeleton knight, Cedric didn't even have time to check the loot, so he immediately turned to support his teammates.
After all, even without the Skeleton Knight's boost, so many ordinary skeletons are still a huge threat. Even Terrence and Hermione have a few bone arrows inserted into their bodies at this time, and there may be casualties if it is later.
However, with Cedric's reverse support and the attenuation of the skeleton soldiers' combat effectiveness, everyone finally cleaned them up without any risk. Fortunately, there was no attrition.
"Everyone hurry up to heal and recover. Listening to the sound, the battle at the door on the left seems to be over. We can't let them get there first!" Cedric said while taking healing potions like 'White Fresh Potion', which they used along the way. Collected a lot.
"Don't worry, we were only slightly injured, and it won't affect the follow-up battle."
Hermione pulled out a bone arrow from her arm very fiercely, facing the blood gushing out, she didn't even frown, and Terrence next to her did the same.
The reason why they were so calm about this kind of injury was not because of how nervous these little wizards were.
This is mainly thanks to Anduin's practice over the past six months, surprise inspections, safety drills and the like, which made them a little numb.
And in the daily training, they actually suffered a lot of injuries, not to mention the high-intensity training they received in each training session in the past month, which time they didn't get bruised and swollen.
Even girls like Hermione may not have noticed that they have gradually gotten used to and adapted to the pain, and they don't even care about a little bit of bleeding.
So from some aspects, Anduin's training did have a very good effect. At least the will of these young wizards is probably more tenacious than many adult wizards who are used to peace.
After seeing how calm these people were, Cedric nodded in relief, "Okay, I'll go clean up the loot, and let's rest for 10 minutes."
After finishing speaking, Cedric walked towards the flag gun that the skeleton knight exploded from. When he saw the attributes of this equipment, he couldn't help but his eyes lit up.
【Guardian Halberd】
Attack Power: 18-25
Durability: 42/50
Equipment requirements: intelligence attribute ★☆ or higher, strength attribute ★☆ or higher
Additional Skills: Guardian Aura
Guardian Halo: It can provide a weak strength increase for surrounding allies, and it comes with a full-body magic shield with a strength of 20 points.
Radius of action: 50 meters
Consumption: After the aura is activated, it consumes 10 ticks of mana every minute, and at the same time, it consumes 5 ticks of magic power for each friendly soldier covered. The maximum number of people covered is 50. At the same time, the holder cannot move when the aura is activated.
"No wonder..." Cedric nodded thoughtfully. He wondered why the skeleton knight stood there motionless like a fool. It turned out that he couldn't move after activating the equipment skill.
"However, this piece of equipment is really ridiculously strong. It was only used against ordinary skeletons and miscellaneous soldiers. If the target of the boost is a wizard, we may be hanging." Cedric breathed a sigh of relief.
The power increase brought by this piece of equipment is okay, but the most outrageous thing is the full-body magic shield that comes with it.
You must know that these underage wizards used to hit "humanoid targets" before. The power of the spells cast by the first graders is only about ten points, and the power of the third graders is only about 30 points.
That is to say, after the guardian halo is activated, this shield can resist at least two spells of a first-year student, and a third-year student needs one spell to break the defense. Only the spells of fifth-grade students can be easier break through this layer of protection.
So with this piece of equipment, it is equivalent to giving them an extra chance to tolerate mistakes. You must know that none of these low-grade students know the powerful protective spell of 'Iron Armor Curse'.
"Unfortunately, the conditions for using this piece of equipment are too harsh. The owner cannot move, and the consumption is too high. If you want to cover 6 people, it will consume 40 ticks of mana every minute. Even I can't last for a few minutes. "
"Also, if the skeleton knight defending on the left can also produce this item, it proves that they also have a [Guardian's War Halberd] in their hands."
Cedric shook his head in distress, then turned his head to look at Hermione and Terence, "How much magic do you two have left?"
"I have about 50 ticks left." Hermione glanced at the Silver Flash Talisman.
"I still have more than 80 ticks left, so it shouldn't be a problem to persist for two more battles." Terence also replied.
Cedric nodded, and then handed the [Guardian's Halberd] to Terrence, "Then I will hand over this Halberd to you, it may be the key to our next victory!"
Terrence took the long gun and glanced at it with surprise, "This long gun...is so strong! But if I use it, I'm afraid it can only be turned on for 2 minutes, so the time will not be too short ?”
"The battle between wizards is changing rapidly. Two minutes is enough to decide the outcome of a battle." Cedric smiled and shook his head, "And you must know that there are four first-year students in Percy's team. They The mana reserves at this time are probably lower than Hermione's."
"That is to say, if they also have such a long gun in their hands, they can only activate it for one minute at most. They can't let Percy use this equipment by himself. We already have an advantage."
"I see." Terence nodded knowingly, "I see, it seems that at critical moments we have to rely on it to decide the outcome."
"Well, what you need to pay attention to is the timing and location of using this piece of equipment. If Percy and the others know the information about this piece of equipment, they will definitely take action against you. Of course, so do we, so how to use it properly is the most important thing. It's important." Cedric thought deeply, so he said to Terence earnestly.
"Don't worry." Hermione also interjected at this time, "When Terrence uses this equipment, I will guard him by the side."
"Okay, then it's up to me, George, and Fred to fight head-on. You should protect yourselves first." Cedric didn't count Penello in. Will stand on the same front as our side.
After discussing tactics on the spot, the members of the fourth team almost finished their rest, and then they marched into the shopping center without hesitation.
And Penello, who has been acting together with them, glanced at a corner behind him thoughtfully at this time, and slowed down everyone by half a beat when he acted, and threw something on the ground very cryptically, and then followed They go through the gate.
After the members of the fourth team left the door on the right, two sneaky heads popped out from the far corner. It was Ron and Malfoy who had disappeared for a long time.
At this time, the two of them were carrying a small satchel on their backs, and they were disheveled. Those who didn't know thought they were two wild children.
"These guys are finally gone." Malfoy looked at the emptied door on the right and smiled cheaply, "Fortunately, we are patient, if we followed your idea and sneaked in, we would have been beaten up by those guards a long time ago." There are none left, didn’t you see how fierce that team of skeleton soldiers is, why do you think you can get away with it?”
"Now is not the time to worry about these things." Ron gave Malfoy a blank look, "Did you see that Penello was mixed with Cedric and his team, it seems that she was either hijacked or recruited."
"Who knows." Malfoy shook his head in confusion, "But I also saw that Penelope seemed to throw something on the ground before leaving, and before leaving, he took a special look at us, you said Did she find us?"
"Nine times out of ten." Ron nodded in agreement, "Come on, follow up and take a look, we have to find a way to take advantage of these guys before they find out."
