In a narrow environment, a human ranger holding a shield can easily squeeze out the opponent's movement space. The tower shield in his hand is extremely strong and protects most of his body. No matter how hard Exxon attacks, he cannot break through the defense.
The long knife in the ranger's hand is extremely sharp. It should be temporarily enchanted to increase the sharpness. When chopping, it can draw out a blade of twenty or thirty centimeters.
The sharp blade has shape but no quality, and is extremely flexible in use, greatly enhancing its lethality.
In just a few rounds, Lord Exxon was forced to retreat step by step. He was sure that he was stronger and higher level than this ranger, but he was suppressed by the opponent's equipment and environment and could not use it at all.
During the fight, the Lord Long-Legs kept yelling, trying to lure his men out of trouble. But he was forced into a corner and could hardly move, and not even a ghost appeared.
Being forced into a hurry...
The prince raised his hand again, and the emerald ring shone again.
Frost.
As a believer of the Frost Goddess, the senior leaders of the Long Legs family must possess several magic items related to cold. Exxon chanted the activation spell, and an extremely cold wave of cold air immediately broke out on his fingers.
When the cold snap comes out, it seems like the entire space is frozen.
This is Exxon's life-saving trick, and he relied on it to escape from danger many times.
It's just that each time this trick is recharged, you need to donate two thousand gold coins to the Frost Temple. The priest of Oluer has no enthusiasm at all, and no matter how good the relationship is, he will not give half a discount.
The bone-piercing cold current can freeze living creatures directly, making danger invisible, just like a sure-kill move. This attack worked as expected, and the ranger Mahan who was very close at hand was hit hard.
The cold air flow caused the entire room to suddenly cool down, and moisture precipitated in the air, turning into ice crystals on the tower shield, layer upon layer, and rapidly increasing.
Mahan's hand holding the shield immediately felt stiff.
The bones were first frozen with severe pain, followed by numbness, and then loss of consciousness. The extreme cold invaded Mahan's body, freezing his flesh and blood and turning him into ice sculptures.
There are many similar ice sculptures in the Winter Hall of Cold Wind City. Each one has a different posture and various expressions, which amazes the viewer because they are all originally living creatures.
Exxon screamed happily when his opponent was hit. He was hit many times by Mahan's long knife, and his enchanted armor could not prevent him. The most serious injury was under his ribs, which penetrated three points of the flesh and splattered with blood.
, he relied on his strong physique to hold on.
Seeing that Mahan was frozen and unable to move, the excited Lord immediately wanted to bypass the tower shield and smash the opponent's head with an axe. In the past years, he had done similar things several times.
Many powerful opponents have died due to such insidious tricks.
But when the ax blade struck, the shield-wielding Mahan moved and was not completely frozen. Although it was very difficult to move his hands and feet, he did retain his ability to move.
That shining silver shield was not only strong, but also had considerable magic resistance, counteracting a lot of cold air attacks.
This situation has never been seen before.
If one move is miscalculated, all the rest will be wrong.
Ackerson's ax hit the frost-covered tower shield again. The opponent's body just swayed. When he continued to move the angle, he gave Mahan another fatal blow, and a dagger was thrust out of the darkness.
The sudden dagger stabbed directly at Exxon's waist, trying to remove one of his kidneys. In order to dodge, he could only make his body unbalanced and his waist tilted.
A short and nimble halfling rogue jumped out of the shadows and stabbed the lord in the butt with a dagger.
Due to time constraints, Exon woke up wearing only armor and a pair of underpants, and his two hairy thighs were bare. This stab made a bloody hole in his buttocks.
It hurts!
Exxon screamed at first, but now he realized that there was more than one opponent, or even more than two people. What was worse was that the wound on his butt hurt first, then became numb, and then itched.
Oops!
This despicable little man uses poison on his dagger!
Halflings have always had no taboos in doing things and like to take risks and wander. They like to make trouble by nature and often do bad things that harm others but not themselves.
Smearing poison on weapons is commonplace for halfling adventurers, and they have never been morally obsessive in this regard.
This is really life-threatening.
Just now, Exxon was reluctant to consume the frost energy on the emerald ring. Now he knew that he was in big trouble, so he directly hit the ring against his chest and armor.
The jadeite on the ring surface was shattered by the impact, and the last magical energy contained in it exploded. The spherical force field suddenly appeared and expanded rapidly.
The entire room suddenly collapsed without warning, the ceiling and floor cracked, and even the walls exploded, leaving a large gap. The rangers and rogues standing nearby were hit by this force field and felt like they were hit hard.
Mahan still had a shield, so he could still hold on for a while. But the halfling had weak defenses, so he couldn't escape even if he wanted to, and was hit by the force field until he vomited blood and flew backwards.
Exon took advantage of this opportunity, turned around, jumped down from the second floor of the room, and fled quickly. Outside the mayor's residence was the only street in the town. When he ran out, he saw Tias who had been knocked away before.
The rookie knight received a heavy shield blow, but there was nothing serious other than a surge of energy and blood. He also wanted to return to the house to help the lord. However, within a few seconds, the room where the lord was staying exploded, and the other party escaped on his own.
"Tias."
Exxon was overjoyed to see the rookie knight. He was stabbed on one side of his butt, and half of his body was gradually becoming numb. He limped forward and shouted: "I know you have an antidote with you at all times, give it to me quickly.
Give it to me quickly."
All the knights in the Long-Legs family have found a room to sleep in. Only the rookie Tias is fully armed and guarding the Lord's door. He really has the antidote provided by the Frost Church.
Exon asked, tilting his head back to drink, and asked impatiently: "Where are the others?"
After saying this, the sound of fighting rang out from the other side of the town.
Two disheveled knights with long legs escaped in a hurry. One of them brought nothing with him, not even his pants.
A tall and burly orc caught up behind him, his fangs opened and closed, and his face was ferocious. He threw a flying ax with a thunderous roar.
From a distance of seven to eight meters, the palm-sized ax whirled and hit the target.
The aristocratic gentleman who had his nose in the air during the day was no better than ordinary civilians at this moment. One of them turned around and waved his hand when he ran away, as if this would make the orcs show mercy.
When he turned around, the flying ax struck him in the face. The sharp ax blade broke through the skin, flesh and bones, mixing blood, water and brain matter, causing him to die on the spot.
The corpse of his companion fell to the ground. Seeing that he could not escape, the other knight could only scream and grab the long knife and turn around to fight for his life.
But his noble status did not bring any help. The orc in heavy armor swung his long-handled battle ax like a windmill and chopped the second knight into pieces in two or three strokes.
Ruthless, decisive and without hesitation.
All this happened in just a few seconds. The knight is also a human being. He has no equipment, is in a state of embarrassment, and his combat effectiveness is not even 10% of normal.
Without any words, two noble lives were taken within minutes.
Tias was stunned by this sudden death.
This kind of fighting that has no sense of beauty and can even be called extremely cruel is extremely unacceptable to the rookie knight. In his opinion, a noble knight should not die so useless and worthless.
This is the way common people die, the way they die, the way they die, the refugees, the gangsters, and the lower class. Even if the nobles die, they should die with great fanfare.
But..., the blood of the corpse is flowing, and life has ended.
Tias was trembling all over and losing strength. He turned to look at Lord Exxon, hoping to get some instructions from him. He urgently needed some encouragement, otherwise his spirit would collapse.
The lordship was wearing a pair of trousers and his legs were bare, and he was running quickly towards the stable on his feet.
In order to run faster, this noble gentleman even took off his armor, and did not even call Tias when he escaped, leaving the rookie behind to delay.
Death approaches, companions are massacred, and superiors flee.
Tias was so excited that he had a new understanding of what a true noble was.
