Reckless man...the brave and fearless nature of the warrior took over. After thinking for a moment, Sarlayan took the opportunity to fly back with the help of another counterattack.
"Da da!"
The first foot stepped on the square table in the center of the hall to take off, and the second foot stepped on the hanging chandelier to gain strength.
The powerful legs suddenly exerted force and kicked the chandelier flying. The resulting reaction force pushed Sarlayan to sprint towards Samuro from above.
Just as the barrage guessed, Blade Storm mainly targets enemies on the same level as itself, and the defense above and below is almost equivalent to nothing.
But since Samuro dared to use Blade Storm in front of Vereesa, an elite ranger with long-range projection capabilities, it shows that he was prepared for this.
When Sarlayan took a charging posture in mid-air and was about to start exerting force, his intuition, which was sharper than ordinary people, suddenly felt a strong sense of threat like a needle, and he subconsciously switched from offense to defense.
Having just placed the broad-handed sword in front of him to protect his vital points, Samuro, who was originally spinning at high speed, canceled the Blade Storm without any hesitation.
Holding the sword tightly with both hands, Samuro swung out multiple afterimages in just one second. The long sword seemed as light as nothing in his hand.
The style of the sword of the Orc Swordmaster is relatively rare. The blade has some slight curvature from top to bottom, and is edged on one side. The blade is thinner and lighter than a large sword. The overall design requires the sharpness of the blade to be much higher than the strength of the blade.
Although they are both two-handed weapons, this sword has a completely different focus from the sword in Sharlayan's hand.
It is obviously irrational to use a sharp weapon to collide with a heavy sword. Samuro's attack deliberately avoided direct contact with the sword.
From Sharlayan's subjective point of view, the transition from the orc swordmaster stopping spinning to launching an attack was almost seamless.
More than a dozen blades of light struck at the same time like thunder, and his dynamic vision could only capture a few rays of metallic light reflected from the blade.
"Ding! Ding!"
The crisp sound of weapons clashing sounded many times in a very short period of time. When Vereesa's support arrow flew out of her hand, Sarlayan had already fallen to the ground and missed the enemy.
Since the set of mail armor he originally wore was too tattered to be used anymore, before the battle with Samuro, Sarlayan casually found a set of plate armor from his family's arsenal and put it on.
Now he is very happy that he chose this armor with the highest defense.
The extremely sharp sword master's sword actually split the protection of the plate armor and injured Sarlayan's body.
There were more than a dozen tiny knife marks on the bright silver armor, and the bloody wounds inside could be vaguely seen through the gaps.
Fortunately, the armor's defense caused a lot of wear and tear on the enemy's attack power, otherwise Sarlayan might have lost one of his hands.
"Bang!"
After landing hard, Sarlayan rolled around on the ground with difficulty in his sharp-edged plate armor. When he stood up, he threw an Eagle Eye at the enemy with lingering fear.
"Hiss~ No wonder he almost destroyed Sarlayan in just one encounter. This guy is only one step away from becoming a legend."
"Samuro... I seem to have heard this name somewhere."
"The background story of the Orc Sword Master in Warcraft 3 is not very detailed."
"Remember, there seems to be this person in Heroes of the Storm."
"Half-step legend, even if Vereesa is here, he can't be his opponent, right?"
"withdraw?"
"Are you kidding me? Can you outrun a sword master who knows how to use the Wind Step?"
After adjusting his posture, Sarlayan took the time to glance at the blade of the great sword.
The blade that collided with the sword was actually notched. From this, it can be inferred that the weapon in the opponent's hand is definitely extraordinary.
With his strong personal strength and powerful weapons at his fingertips, Samuro is an unsolvable problem for the four-man team. He can't be beaten, and he can't run away.
Although he was in a desperate situation, Sarlayan did not panic.
Endless fighting spirit is his innate talent, allowing Sarlayan to maintain a high fighting spirit under any circumstances.
Taking a deep breath, Sarlayan stepped back sharply before the opponent launched another attack.
This is not cowardice, it is an attempt to readjust one's posture.
"Little squirrel! Give me the shield!"
"How many times have I told you? Don't call me that!"
Valeera complained habitually, took out a strange-shaped shield from her magic package and threw it to Sharlayan.
"then!"
While borrowing the shield, Sarlayan dropped the sword in his hand and took advantage of the situation to hold the one-handed sword that Valeera threw at her immediately after the shield.
Sarlayan's mentor once said that all outstanding fighters are weapons masters and are proficient in the use of all mainstream weapons. Only in this way can they ensure that they can exert their due combat effectiveness in any environment.
Weapons are very important to all combat professionals, and everyone is good at different weapons.
For example, Sarlayan is undoubtedly the most proficient in using heavy two-handed weapons, including the great sword, while Lylas and Valeela are good at short bows and daggers respectively, and Vereesa is good at long bows.
After waving the new weapon in his hand, Sarlayan was a little uncomfortable with the light weight of the one-handed sword, but this was just a psychological effect on him, and he was still very skilled in using it.
The standard shield of the high elves has a very strange style. It is not a conventional four-cornered or five-cornered shield, but an odd-shaped triangular shield with a larger arc on the edge. The overall shape looks like a curled up big bird.
Since Quel'Thalas lacks warriors and there are not many people in need of shields, domestic blacksmiths naturally do not put much thought into the design of shields and value appearance more than practicality.
Due to personal reasons, Sarlayan didn't like to use shields, so he didn't ask a blacksmith to make them custom-made.
Before the war began, Valeera explained the powerful strength of the Orc Sword Master to Sarlayan and Lyras. Just in case, Sarlayan asked Valeera, who had a magic package, to help him prepare a set of defensive weapons.
equipment.
It turned out to be really useful.
"I'll stop him, Vereesa, Lyras, you focus on long-range attack, Valeera, you sneak up and look for opportunities."
Valeera could also see the dangerous situation now and did not argue with Sarlayan at this time.
Taking a step back and disappearing into the shadows, her figure disappeared silently, attracting some attention from Samuro.
"A thief, huh!"
Due to the language barrier, Sarlayan and the others had no idea what the orc with the braided braid was talking about, and could only guess through his expression and eyes.
Vereesa took a deep breath, held her breath, and fired arrows one after another without stopping.
Lyras was also harassing and assisting his sister in pouring arrows in large quantities, disrupting Samuro's judgment.
The arrows of Vereesa and Lylas are very different. Putting aside the technical issues, the strength of the arrows between the two is completely different.
The deadly arrows mixed in Lyras's arrows gave Samuro a headache.
It was difficult for him to accurately distinguish which arrow was more threatening when Sarlayan, who was holding a sword and shield, took the initiative to attack.
"clang!"
Although Sarlayan doesn't like to use a shield, due to the strict training he received from his mentor, he won't strain his hips when he has to use it.
Even though he was holding a shield, Sarlayan still chose to attack in his personal style. The combined sword and shield attack attracted a lot of Samuro's attention.
Due to the need to always guard against the arrows shot by Vereesa, who was the most threatening, Samuro was unable to concentrate on killing the stalking Sarlayan in a short time.
Due to the flaw in his own state of mind, Samuro's mood was not very stable to begin with. The more he fought, the more irritable he became. The confusion that was forcibly suppressed before the war began to affect his mood again.
Vereesa keenly caught Samuro's momentary absence, and was quite surprised in her heart, but her hands did not pause at all.
"Whoosh!"
Under the cover of Lilas, Vereesa finally fired a powerful aimed shot.
Accompanied by the violent sound of breaking wind, this powerful and heavy arrow flew in front of Samuro in the blink of an eye.
A moment's distraction caused Samuro's reaction to be half a beat slower. Although he turned into a mirror image in time to avoid it, his exposed upper body was still scratched with a bloodstain.
Sarlayan did not miss this opportunity, holding the shield in front of him and quickly closing the distance.
The one-handed sword in his right hand was raised high as if to strike with all his strength, causing Samuro to subconsciously move sideways to dodge.
At this moment, a flash of light suddenly flashed in Sarlayan's eyes, and the real-looking attack was immediately retracted, and he slashed at Sarom from a more tricky angle.
"suppress!"
"Bah!"
Due to the stiffness of the previous action, Samuro could not dodge again, and a long wound was cut on his chest by the long sword.
That is to say, the quality of Sarlayan's weapons is average. If they were sharper, Samuro would definitely be disemboweled.
Even so, he was seriously injured. Blood spurted out from Samuro's chest and abdomen. The pendant on his chest was picked up by the long sword, and the shaman's rosary rolled to the ground.
"Well!"
For the more superstitious orcs, this is obviously a bad sign.
Samuro's eyes flickered, he covered the wound on his chest and took a step forward, just in time to avoid Valeela's sneak attack.
Injured, with mental problems, and unwilling to fight, Samuro relied on his speed to create 4 afterimages in a short period of time. He activated the Wind Step and evacuated outside the gate.
'The rosary passed down from my father was lost in an unjust battle. Is this... a punishment and warning from my ancestors?'
