Chapter 32 Competition (5)
As Karenda's order was issued, the people in the arena began to move, without slogans and gestures, and were so orderly that they seemed to be a well-trained regular army. In comparison, the mercenaries last night were simply a mob.
"I knew it would be like this..." Velfredo murmured to himself. Helini, a black market businessman, took the initiative to help, and there was indeed a ghost. Once he encountered a confined space like the arena, there was basically no way to live. If there was no son of nature in the team this time, it would definitely be the rhythm of the group destruction.
After glanced at Link, who still used the bargain dagger as a weapon, Velfredo complained that if he hadn't helped, he wouldn't have been able to get through it even last night without his help.
Wengers didn't talk nonsense, chanting the spell quickly and urgently. Toughness, brute force, agility... Buffing spells covered one by one on his companion.
Campano stood at the front with the shield and the hammer in the other hand. He was the shortest in height, but his defense was the highest in the team.
Without Link's instructions, Asa had quietly disappeared in the shadow of the ground.
Doyle and one left and one right protected the most vulnerable mage in the middle, and the group stood against the wall. Link stood alone outside in a dual-held posture. His escape naturally became the first choice for many people to attack. Before the close profession was approaching, the long-range arrows attacked first. The sound of metal attacks was endless. Wengers, who had the worst dynamic vision, felt a flash in front of him. Link hit all the dense arrows to the ground with a short sword made by ordinary iron ore.
When they looked back, they both breathed a sigh of relief. They had some concerns about Link not wanting to reveal his identity, but now it seems that even without magical skills, the strong physique alone is enough to deal with it.
After the arrows leading the way, the first thing that arrived was a big guy holding a giant axe, with a tall axe in his hand like a child's toy, dancing whirring.
Although he has confidence in his own strength, Link's opponent's weapons are not confident. If he fights head-on, the collapse will be second, because he is afraid that he will not be able to withstand the opponent's brute force and break it.
With one kick, the whole person jumped upwards, jumping behind the man. Turn the sword blade and hit the enemy's knees with a wide and thick blade. As one of the most vulnerable parts of the human body, once injured, he will immediately lose his combat power.
The big guy screamed and fell to the ground, with a giant axe in his hand off, and flew towards Velfredo and others not far away. Link did not return to defense, but turned around to meet the assassin who lurked behind him as he launched an attack.
bite--
The dagger held the dagger that stabbed from the diagonal back. If he missed a blow, the assassin sneaked again. Unfortunately, Link had a speed no less than him, scratching his thigh before his figure completely disappeared. Blood was pouring on the ground and he could not effectively sneak before stopping the bleeding. Losing his biggest advantage, the assassin quickly retreated and gave the attack position to others.
Turning his head and looking at the rear. The axe had been shot down by Doyle. Link turned his attention back. This time the enemy was a defensive warrior who was as good as Campano, with knights holding spears and shooters with long bows on both sides. On the outside, there were a group of mercenaries waiting for opportunities. It was obvious that Link was not weak. They did not attack rashly.
The rhythm of the offensive stopped as a result, and Link did not take the initiative to attack. The two groups of people with huge numbers were silent.
"It was the group of people from last night..." Someone said in the crowd, and the mercenary who was originally silent immediately became furious.
"The group of people who drove away the high-level demons?"
"What's driving away? It's obviously a one-sided massacre!"
"Just kidding, even the high-level demons are not their opponents, how can we win?"
The mercenary's comments made Karenda, who was in the audience, very unhappy. He hated this uncontrollable situation.
"What are you stupid? Have you forgotten the rules of the arena? There are no draws and handshakes here, only the winner can survive."
The crowd was silent again, and the survival of the jungle was the only rule in the blood arena. Apart from fighting, they had no second way to go.
Velfredo took a deep breath, here it was, this time it was the real desperate battle...
Unlike the previous tentative attack, the mercenaries were divided into two groups, one surrounded Link, and the other bypassed him and headed straight for the five-man team against the wall behind.
"Don't let go!" Wilfredo shouted at Link, "These people are all outlaws, and they won't let you go just because you show mercy!"
As soon as he finished speaking, there was a dull sound beside him. Doyle waved his sword with both hands and knocked away several mercenaries who bullied her as a female. The flames accompanied by magic weapons turned these lucky guys into burning pieces of meat.
Seeing that the right side was not good, the mercenaries attacked the left side of Velfredo, but Campano, who was in the front, had the least pressure. The shield dwarf's defense was famous for being a wall of iron, and almost no one would choose to break through directly.
The shadow of the dwarf suddenly twisted, and a pool of bright red blood emerged from the ground, followed by a corpse that was broken open suddenly appeared at the feet of Campano. The shadow thief who solved the assassin in the shadow showed his body and kicked the dead assassin away.
After receiving a grateful glance from the dwarf, Asa sneaked again. Because she was walking with Link, Malik also gave special care and secretly warned her that the Shadow Thief could kill the master assassin who was higher than her.
Huh—A big burning fireball hit the head, and the barrier that Wengers had laid out in advance was broken. Before he could make up, a few arrows followed. Velfredo raised his gun and swept across the board, blocking most of it, and one shot into the mage's shoulder.
Wengers yelled in pain, "It's the Demon-Breaking Arrow!"
The magic power suddenly burst out with the wound, and it won't take long to become a useless person who will only drag down his companions.
Doyle informed Master Link to be hit by the Demon-Breaking Arrow.
Demon-breaking? Demon-shooter?
Link's eyes stagnated, and the warrior on the opposite side seized the rare flaw. Raising a shield was a unique charge skill for a warrior.
"Bang!!"
With this dull sound, Link was knocked out and the solid stone wall was smashed into a big hole.
The warrior who succeeded in one blow was not at all happy, but his expression on his face became even more serious. The moment he hit, he had a strange feeling, as if he was not hit by a human, but a larger giant beast.
The smoke and dust dissipated, and Link emerged from the broken wall. The clothes on his body turned into strips of cloth due to friction, revealing muscles that were not strong at all. Not to mention being injured, he did not even scratch his skin.
The mercenaries gasped, but at this size, they were still unscathed? Is that guy a monster?
Pulling out the arrow, Wengers wrapped his shoulders with the bleeding bandage he carried with him, and he had to cast a few more spells before the magic was completely exhausted.
"I participated in the competition just to try my skills, not to take your lives." The two swords collapsed several cracks and could no longer be used. Link threw them away casually and picked up the first big weapon he hit. The giant axe, which was about the same height as a wooden stick, was held in one hand like a wooden stick.
This move made the mercenary even more desperate and determined that he was not a human.
"Kill, you bunch of trash!" Karenda shouted in anger.
The giant axe came out of his hand and hit the audience. The unexpectedly caught Karenda fell together with the cracked stones. The guard behind him didn't even have time to catch a hand, so he could only watch Karenda fall into the arena.
This change completely stopped the battle on the field.
Link took out the wooden longbow from the dimensional bag, Karenda got up, and before he could take out the teleportation scroll, his palm was pierced by an arrow.
"I am more confident in my shooting skills than close combat." Link took the second arrow calmly, and the threat was beyond words.
Karenda endured the severe pain of her fingers and stared at Link, "What do you want?"
"The freedom of Vilfredo and Campano." Link leaned over step by step, and the mercenaries along the way made way for him. If there was a turning point, they would not want to continue fighting with such an opponent who had no chance of winning.
With a whoosh, a hidden arrow shot out of the crowd, hitting Link's back.
Wengers couldn't help but shouted carefully. With a muffled sound, the arrow hit the target, but failed to plunge in. It was like shooting a hard stone. Until it fell to the ground, it made a slight sound. Link turned around, first glanced at the arrow on the ground, and then threw his eyes towards the direction of the arrow shooting.
"Without the shadow god's stealth skills, the night elf has only the natural advantage of agility."
The mercenaries were in an uproar. There were actually night elves among them?
Night elves have lived underground for a long time and rarely go to the surface to move. Nanyanzhou is the territory of orcs. Especially after Longyan Fort fell, the relationship between orcs and night elves dropped to freezing point, and night elves have never set foot in the arena.
As early as the Demon-Breaking Arrow appeared, Link suspected that there were night elves among the mercenaries. There were very few demon-shooters in humans, but there were many among the elves. Whether good or evil, elves as magic creatures had the qualifications to become demon-shooters. The sneak attack of the second arrow made Link confirm that the demon-shooters were elves rather than humans, and there was obvious dark power attached to the arrow, but unfortunately they could not penetrate the tough skin covered with the human shell.
"Oh--"
Karenda's scream suppressed the mercenary's whispers. He wanted to take advantage of Link's opportunity to escape, but his other hand was shot.
Link put the third arrow on the bowstring, "The next time I'll aim at your head."
"No...I won't be playing tricks anymore..." Karenda raised his bloody hands to surrender.
Link took another step, this time without any obstacles, and successfully arrived at Karenda. He searched all his body and took away all the magic items and scrolls. "Where is the contract?"
Karenda cried with a sad face, "How could I carry all the contracts with hundreds of mercenaries in this town?"
"Then take us to get it." Link picked up Karenda, who was half a head shorter than him with one hand, as if he had remembered something. He turned around and looked at the others, "We have no objection to winning, right?"
The mercenaries looked at each other and had achieved this. Who would dare to have an objection?
