Chapter 2722 One Hundred Years Of Solitude Nineteen
The white horse transformed from the Xia Shuang Dragon and the great white wolf transformed from the Demon Race began to gallop in the wilderness, heading north along the complex mountain road of the island.
The mountain road is rugged, and it should be very difficult for ordinary horses to walk. However, whether there is a [horse] or a [wolf] in Arthur's team, they are not extraordinary creatures. They can still walk as fast as flying on such rugged mountain roads and dense forest areas, as if they were walking on flat ground.
A group of people can keep moving at high speed in this kind of mountainous wilderness, even much faster than a sailboat that relies on wind and ocean currents to move.
The sun had just set and the group was almost arriving at Bastia, a small town in the north of Corsica. This was almost half of the total planned trip.
"Is your horse turned into a monster? It has carried two people for a whole day and is not tired at all?" Bayoletta said after the speed slowed down.
"Hahaha" Arthur didn't want to explain, just laughed it off. Xiaoxing is a dragon, even if it is just a young dragon, it is a piece of cake to carry two humans across one or two European countries, not to mention that it has only crossed half of the island.
.
"That's great." Verne, who was riding a wolf, also said, "I finally have a roof over my head tonight, so I don't have to sleep in the open."
He really hated being bitten by mosquitoes, and the mosquitoes seemed to be chasing this kid to bite him, as if his blood was particularly sweet.
"Not sure yet." Arthur jumped off the horse and gave a signal to everyone, asking everyone to keep a low profile.
Night falls, but there are no lights at all in Bastia, which should be a port town. It is extremely dark and quiet. The villagers either have the habit of going to bed early (isn't this too early?), or they all
They were ordered not to step out of the house. In the worst case scenario, they might all be killed.
"People from the church?" Verne asked in a low voice.
"I don't know." Arthur used the surrounding vegetation as a cover, squatting while holding a monocular to observe.
Under the moonlight, there seemed to be some silver shadows shaking in the dark town, but it was not clear from this distance. There was a large flat open space near the town, and there was almost no place to hide in the middle. If Arthur continued to approach, the town would
If there is someone with good eyesight nearby, they might be able to spot Arthur and his party under the cover of darkness.
Whether Bedivere transforms into a big white wolf or Xiaoxing transforms into a white horse, it is very inconvenient to sneak under the moonlight.
"Well, your horse turned around and ran away." Verne said.
"Don't worry about him." Arthur said. Soon after, a white parrot flew back and landed next to Arthur.
"Oops." Bei, who had already snatched the telescope for observation, said, "The Holy Cross emblem on the clothes is unmistakable - they are indeed members of the Papal Knights."
"How many people are there?" Arthur asked nervously.
"There are at least two people who can be confirmed. There are also five members of the Holy See Crusaders." The witch put down the telescope in her hand: "There is no doubt that they are waiting for us here. Has our whereabouts been exposed? From the beginning, we have been
Did you predict it?"
"No." The King of Knights said, "There are too few people on guard. This is not an ambush, it's just a checkpoint. They don't know if we will go this way, but they have to guard, so they only send some of them to guard.
here."
"Go around?"
"We can't get around it. Even if we seize the sailboat from here and go to sea at night, we will be seen on the way. If the sailboat on the sea is destroyed by rockets, we will definitely die." Arthur thought for a moment: "Nevertheless, if we attack this place directly,
They will also use carrier pigeons to inform the Vatican. Unless------"
"Unless we kill all the enemies here, we will kill them all." Verne suddenly added.
When Arthur and Bey come out, it can't help but make people's hair stand on end.
"Huh? No, what are you thinking? It's annoying. They didn't say they were killing the enemies here." The young man took out a bottle of medicine and said, "This is the poison given to me by the kind fat brother before. But it's more like
It's an anesthetic, it seems to be extracted from some kind of mushroom. Apply it on the arrowhead and just rub it lightly onto the skin, and the opponent will immediately lose their resistance. They won't die, they will just sleep for a few days."
"Can it be hit?" Arthur asked with a straight face: "When they let down their vigilance and make a sneak attack, they may be able to hit one or two members of the Holy See Crusaders. But the people of the Holy See Knights are elites, and there is no way to be simply killed.
Your sneak attack is successful. And once someone falls there, others will be alert, and you will be even more missed."
"No. Use the [Gun Formation]." Verne said calmly: "Distribute these arrows to the golems in the Spear Formation for use. I will do the aiming. I can always lock six targets at once."
's. Launched at the same time, hit at the same time, six fell down, leaving two, am I right?"
"There's only one left, little fool." Arthur tapped Verne's head. He couldn't count seven minus six.
"No, there are only two left. As you said, those two members of the Papal Knights are very powerful. My shots will probably be dodged." Verne rubbed his head and said aggrievedly.
Arthur thought for a while and asked the witch: "Okay, let's say there are two people from the Papal Knights left. Seeing that they are outnumbered, will they escape? If they escape and inform the news, it will be troublesome."
"They shouldn't escape." Bayoletta continued to observe with the telescope: "There is one ship in the port, which is the Holy See's ship. The other ships were all scuttled. These idiots may have planned to trap us, but instead they
They are creating a cocoon. If they dare to escape by boat, we will use rockets to sink the sailboat."
"Then we won't have to cross the sea."
The witch actually replied seriously: "We can think about that kind of thing after the battle is over."
This guy is definitely a fighting maniac
"Okay. Verne, call out the [Gun Formation]."
The young man nodded and activated the soldier ring. [Epic Legion---Gun Formation (hanx)] appeared from the ring and turned into shielded turrets made of black steel. Their solid shields can form an absolute defense.
Positions, large-caliber ballistae are the ideal siege weapons, and the black appearance made of special mithril hardly reflects any light. In addition to the shortcoming of extremely low mobility, this [Legion] can be said to be able to siege cities.
, the ideal choice to defeat thousands of armies.
Verne installed special crossbow arrows with anesthesia on the top of these turrets, a device used to fire auxiliary arrows. It was a strange operation to not let the [Legion] fire the cannons and only use them to fire arrows.
"Verne, you're not planning to kill anyone yet, are you?" Arthur asked.
"No. I've long had the consciousness to kill, but it's definitely not good to just bombard me now, right? There's too much movement. God knows if they will have more ambushes."
"Indeed." Although from this high and low position, the movement of the town can be seen relatively clearly, and the number of enemies is confirmed to be only six. However, it is difficult to completely rule out that there may not be more enemies hiding in the house.
"Then you can always wait until the situation gets out of control before starting the bombardment, right?" Arthur asked again.
"It's okay, just blast the enemy to death then." Verne said.
The King of Knights and the Witch winked at each other.
"Wow." Bedivere reminded in a low voice that he could go around to the other side of the town to carry out a flanking attack.
"Go." Arthur nodded. At this time, Bedivere was just a wolf, seemingly a wild animal. Even if he was witnessed by the enemy, it would be relatively difficult to be alerted ------ as long as the big white wolf is not on the same page as Ya
Se and others act together.
"For the remaining two members of the Papal Knights, let's take care of one each. Is that okay?" Arthur asked Bayoletta again.
"In a one-on-one fight, I won't lose." The witch took out her full armor and replied.
"Then let's start." Arthur made a running gesture and ordered.
Swish, swish, swish! Six special arrows were shot out instantly, heading towards the town. Arthur and Bayoletta also ran out at the same time and began to attack. The arrows arrived first, and the moment the arrows arrived, the enemy was still
Arthur and others were not found. A wave of arrows accurately landed on the arms, calves, and shoulders of the Holy See Crusaders, easily penetrating the weak parts of these people's chainmails and piercing the flesh. It contained a strong anesthetic component.
The crossbow arrows worked very quickly, and the five Holy See Crusaders fell down without any resistance, which made Arthur and the others worry a lot!
And just as Arthur and the others predicted, the members of the Papal Knights, who were more powerful than the Holy See Crusaders, escaped Verne's arrows. The man must not have noticed the attack and avoided it. He should have heard the breaking wind of the crossbow arrows in the air.
He subconsciously dodged at the sound and escaped the blow. The crossbow arrow grazed his calf, but the opponent was protected by armor, and the poison of the crossbow arrow could not penetrate the armor and take effect on the enemy!
Forget it. Arthur rushed over and slashed with his sword as fast as he could!
The sword light of the Holy Sword of Seraph swept across, and one of the opponent's arms fell to the ground. It was the opponent's dominant hand for holding a spear, the right arm! The King of Knights took advantage of the situation and kicked his opponent away. The Pope Knight who was kicked away had not had time to climb up.
As soon as he started, Bedivere attacked him from behind and penetrated the knight's chest with his sword.
On the other hand, the witch used flowing and continuous crossbow arrows to beat the opponent back steadily. The crossbow arrows would explode when they hit an object. Although the impact was only an extremely weak explosion, it caused serious shock injuries to the person wearing the armor.
Don't retreat forcefully. Bayoletta's four-volume blasting crossbow seems to be specially designed to break through the knight's thick armor. The blasting impact of the well-controlled firepower can be well absorbed by the opponent's plate armor and transformed into the enemy's plate armor.
The impact reverberates throughout the body! It is almost the same as hitting the enemy all over with a hammer. No matter how hard the outer armor is, as long as the person inside the armor is hit hard, the person in the armor will still be unable to withstand the violent shock and suffer internal injuries! That person cannot withstand the continuous
Shocked, he finally fell to the ground, and something bright red spurted out from the gap in his helmet!
It's a bit strange. Although Arthur and his team's attack timing was perfect, they should have caused heavy damage to the enemy in the first blow. But the current situation is too smooth, right? It is called "the elite of the elite" by Goff.
The knights of the Papal Knights were so easily killed by Arthur and Bedivere, and knocked down by the witch Bayuretta? Seriously? Unless this is just, it looks smooth on the surface------
"Stay away from them!" Arthur shouted quickly when he saw something strange about the fallen Pope Knight.
There were two dark shadows emerging from the bodies of the two dead and fallen papal knights!
