The spirit guard scolded fiercely, and Tai Kadan had to muster up all his strength to run forward, rushing towards a high slope ahead. After climbing over, he almost fell down. The team leader grabbed him by the collar and shouted: "Stop."
Steady! Don’t panic!”
That's what he said, but let alone Tai Kadan at this moment, even the captain of the Spirit Guards had beads of sweat on his face. He stood on the high slope and looked at a cavalry of more than a hundred people, slowly surrounding the high slope.
, cut off the retreat.
As a patrol assigned to conduct reconnaissance in the south of Chaidui Town, Tai Kadan and his group of more than a dozen people were pursued by hundreds of cavalry from Glanfaz. Fortunately, the spirit envoys in the team were able to deal with it well, allowing everyone to quickly occupy the favorable terrain.
.
"Don't worry, I have already used the 'Qingfeng Message' to pass on the news. The nearest patrol will arrive as soon as possible!" The spirit messenger held a seven-section wooden staff that was as high as the height, with a transparent and soft wind at the top, exuding
A reassuring wave of magic.
Nowadays, the spirit messengers of the Order of the Stars all follow the example of Priest Sandori and use trees with different attributes to make long staffs with seven sections. Among them, the alder tree, which represents the atmosphere and flowing wind, and the ash tree, which symbolizes the germination of life, are the most popular.
.
"But no matter how fast they are, it will take an hour or two to get there. The surrounding wilderness is too empty!" The team leader checked his weapons and said to everyone: "Get ready to fight the enemy here to the end!"
Tai Kadan's stomach twitched when he heard this. He used to be responsible for guarding in Chaidui Town. Even if he occasionally patrolled outside the town, he never encountered any battles. Even after more than half a year of training, he roughly understood
How to use waving weapons and raising shields to block, but after all, I have never experienced a real fight.
"Really, do we really want to fight?" Tai Kadan asked: "Aren't there mages in Chaihei Town? I heard that they all know teleportation spells. Wouldn't it be great if we let them come to rescue us?"
The spirit messenger placed the seven-section staff across his knees to regulate his body and mind, and smiled without raising his eyelids: "What do you know? The mage's 'any door' is only a few hundred feet away, but the 'teleportation' can be carried out for dozens of times."
A hundred miles of movement, but it is a fifth-level arcane spell, and there are not many mages in Chai Dui Town who can master it. The spell slots of mages are very precious, even if they are made into scrolls, this kind of life-saving escape spell is usually only reserved for
Own."
"Isn't it just that you soul messengers are so bad? That bitch became the chief priest, and she didn't learn the teleportation spell to save us." Tai Kadan didn't dare to open his mouth, but just muttered in his heart, and his legs and feet were because of
Nervous and restless.
"What about Doctor Olenso? I heard that he also knows teleportation spells. He is so powerful, why doesn't he just come to save us?" Ty Cardin still couldn't help but ask.
The team leader glared at Ty Cardin: "If something happens and Dr. Olanso comes to the rescue, what do you and I need to do? Many of the spells and skills of our Order of the Stars were taught by Dr. Olanso, so
Isn’t your help enough?”
Tai Kadan opened his mouth and cursed in his heart: "What magic, what Star Order? I have nothing to do with you! Besides, who knows what bad intentions that guy has in teaching you these things? You guys
This group of tribesmen who have taken refuge from other places have never seen Oranso harm our spotted beast tribe, so do they really regard him as a good person? Bah! Are we not asking us to fight for him in order to satisfy his dominance and servitude?
!”
"They are coming!" The spirit messenger wielded a seven-section staff, changed his palm skills, and recited the incantation attentively. A green-clothed talisman holding a brown fan appeared behind him. However, judging from his appearance, he looked a bit like an ordinary indigenous tribesman.
Similar in spirit, the elegant curling cloud pattern at the hem of the cuffs of the Tsing Yi has a hint of rustic totem charm.
"A fan of auspicious wind blows."
The Tsing Yi Talisman waved his palm fan and blessed the patrol team with a "flowing wind shield" for more than ten people. It was similar to a mixture of "Protective Arrow" and "Wind Wall Technique", which could prevent arrows shot from a long distance from harming the patrol.
Team members.
"The two fans bring auspicious energy around."
The brown fan shook again, and "the power of the bull" and "the tenacity of the bear" blessed everyone one after another.
"Three fans turn all disgust into tiny dust!"
Shaking the fan three times, the cool breeze filled the body, just like taking a bath to cleanse the body, sweeping away fatigue, fear, and anxiety from everyone. Their hands, eyes, body and steps cooperated tacitly, and they calmly waited for the enemy to attack.
"This is my limit." The spirit messenger whispered to the team leader: "Except for the 'Flowing Wind Shield' which can last longer, the effects of other spells cannot last too long."
The squad leader nodded solemnly. He knew the strength of his teammates well through long-term training. Facing this fierce battle, he must show his authority in the first round of offensive. This is not only to frighten the enemy, but also the key to improving morale!
I saw the cavalry on the gentle slope divided into two groups, the left and right. The sound of horse hooves was thunderous, and the muddy ground caused by the melting snow in early spring splashed under the hooves of galloping horses.
A sharp sound broke through the air. The cavalry on the left plucked their strings and fired arrows. The locust-like arrows were deflected under the "flowing wind shield" and sparsely stuck on the ground. The cavalry on the right raised their spears and scimitars high.
, urging the horses to charge forward.
The squad leader held a long sword and a battle ax in each hand. He shouted in a deep voice, and a yellow scarf warrior holding a long-handled melon hammer appeared behind him and shouted at the same time: "Grenade!"
After giving the order, three teammates threw alchemy grenades, and two others used slings to throw exploding persimmons. A piercing explosion and dazzling light suddenly bloomed in front of the cavalry on the right.
A few cavalrymen sensed the danger in advance and closed their eyes tightly, but they could not stop the strong light explosions from frightening the horses so much that the horses in the front row stood up one after another and neighed loudly.
"kill--!!"
The squad leader wanted to win over this moment of chaos. He and his yellow scarf warriors took the lead and flew into the cavalry on the right. Using swords and axes with both hands and warriors' hammers, they immediately attacked and killed them from both sides.
The light of the sword and ax loomed, and the "demon weapon" was like a hot knife cutting butter against the wild mane cavalry, which was mainly made of ordinary leather armor. It didn't matter whether it was a cavalry or a horse, blood and flesh flew everywhere in an instant.
The yellow scarf warrior holding the melon hammer was even more powerful. The long-handled melon hammer brought thunderous sound waves, smashing it left and right, and the huge force knocked people and horses away. The melon hammer made a dull sound of breaking the wind, turning the human head into an egg.
smash.
At the same time as the squad leader rushed into the enemy formation, two psychic warriors from the same team also came forward side by side. He saw one of them holding a dark blue broad-bladed heavy sword and wearing half plate armor. A silver light shone around his head, and he cast "
With the power of "expansion", he ran and jumped into a figure that was nearly two people tall. The deep crystal heavy sword also grew larger and longer, like a palace door panel, and swept towards the cavalry.
There is blood flowing like a fountain, and here another spiritual warrior wears a deep crystal ring. His "defensive foresight" allows him to easily shuttle through the chaotic cavalry array. He holds a short spear in each hand and specializes in the enemy's vital points. He may not kill the enemy immediately, but
The enemy will be severely injured and lose blood, and will no longer be able to fight back.
"Stop them!!" came an order from the cavalry on the right, and the cavalry behind them who reined in their horses immediately threw their spears.
The spiritual warrior who became two people tall was the most conspicuous. He relied on the thickness of his plate armor to throw his spear away. He quickly rolled on the spot and threw himself behind. He swept the deep crystal heavy sword along the ground and cut off the horse's legs one after another.
, leaving the right-wing cavalry in complete chaos.
"Don't charge too far!" Another psychic warrior stabbed a cavalryman to death with his backhand, used the opponent's body to block a spear, and said to his teammates in the psychic network: "There is a master behind you!"
Sure enough, as soon as he was reminded, he saw that the giant psychic warrior was pulled away by a sharp-toothed stick, and swept out with a huge force and air waves. It was a wild mane tribe rider with many braids, tough and sturdy.
Very.
"I'll deal with him!" the squad leader made a quick decision, stepped forward with a "striding stride", stepped lightly on the cavalry's heads and shoulders, and headed straight to the back of the queue. The sword and ax in his hands were covered with sticky blood, like a falcon hunting.
, fighting with that tough rider.
The killing on the right wing was earth-shattering, and the cavalry archers on the left wing did not flinch. They fired another round of arrows, and then charged towards the spirit messenger and others on the high slope.
It's just that this time the left-wing cavalry learned to be smart. The casters among them prepared "pacifying animals" in advance and withstood the explosion caused by the alchemical grenades thrown by the patrol. Even if some cavalry were injured and fell off their horses, they would still be killed.
The enemy is overwhelmed!
How could the Wild Mane tribe stop moving forward just because of these dozen people?
"Ugh - I'm so scared, I want to go home..." Ty Cardin saw the left-wing cavalry rushing towards him, and was so frightened that he squeezed out tears.
This patrol is not all composed of spirit guards and spiritual warriors. The spirit messenger is surrounded by ordinary warriors. Facing the charge of dozens of cavalry, it is impossible to withstand it. The spirit messenger knows that the situation is critical, and the spells are ready, and the green talisman behind him
When the official shook his palm fan, it was as if the spring breeze was blowing, and green vines rushed out of the muddy ground.
It's just that these vines haven't grown to the point of becoming a dense forest, they are just as messy as a net, just enough to snag a horse.
There was a sudden chaos, and the forward cavalry fell down several horses. The remaining cavalry on the left wing were so frightened that they quickly reined in their horses and retreated with shouts, fearing that they would run into another trap.
After the cavalry on the left wing retreated, they blew a long horn sound, and the cavalry on the right wing, which was restrained by the team leader and two psychic warriors, also retreated quickly, although more than half of them were already damaged.
"Yes, this time they caused a lot of losses." The squad leader, who was covered in blood, ordered Ty Cardin to pick up the weapons left by the right-wing cavalry, while he held his waist and ribs to endure the severe pain.
"Injured?" the spirit messenger asked.
"That guy is not weak. Even if I resonated with the Evergreen Clothes, which is equivalent to the powerful 'Tree Skin Technique' body protection, my bones were still broken by his big stick." The team leader did not dare to show weakness easily and took it out himself.
He took out a bottle of healing potion and drank it, while the spirit messenger also cast spells on him to heal his injuries.
"The next wave of attacks will not be so easy to resolve." The spirit messenger said: "In order to deal with the two-winged cavalry, we have almost used up the alchemy grenades and exploding persimmons. I don't have many spells left, unless you give me more
Some time for pranayama.”
"Me too." The team leader looked at the Wild Mane tribe cavalry wandering in the distance and said, "This has frightened them, but after a little reorganization, they can launch the next charge at any time."
"What should we do now?" the spirit messenger asked.
"If it doesn't work, I will cover you and leave." The team leader lowered his voice.
"What did you say?!" The spirit messenger couldn't understand. As soon as he raised his voice, the squad leader held his shoulders: "You are the spirit messenger. For today's Star Religion, every spirit messenger is an important talent."
"You are also a member of the sect. In terms of combat strength, you are stronger than me. And I haven't learned the 'Cloud Movement' yet. I can't fly long distances and can't escape at all!" The spirit messenger knows very well that he is mainly responsible for blessing his teammates.
The buff effect and face-to-face combat are actually not good at it.
"With all that said, it's better to find a way to evacuate." The team leader looked around and happened to see the dying horses on the gentle slope. He slapped his thigh and said, "That's right! Seize the horses, wouldn't it be nice to snatch their horses?"
"That's right... Come here quickly, everyone, let's discuss the next countermeasures!" The spirit messenger quickly called over other teammates who were resting.
…
"Damn! You guys had a great time fighting. Let me clean up the battlefield. The cavalry of Glenfarz are still watching in the distance!"
Tai Kadan carefully faced the situation in the distance, picked up the unbroken throwing spear, and clamped it down. He felt the heat in his crotch, probably because he couldn't hold it in just now. Thinking of what might happen next
Facing the second round of cavalry charges, Tai Kadan was frightened, and thoughts were randomly emerging in his mind.
"How about I take advantage of the moment and rush to surrender?" Tai Kadan turned around and saw his teammates gathering together on the high slope, whispering, invisibly excluding himself, and his chest became even tighter: "Anyway, you guys
People know that they are fighting for Firewood Town and that bullshit cult, but they have no idea that that guy in Olanso will burn you like firewood... But, I haven't done such a thing as surrendering yet? What if the cavalry on the other side treats me as a firewood?
The enemy is shooting random arrows, but I can't stop them."
When Tai Kadan was thinking, he only felt the ground shaking slightly. In the next moment, the high-sloping ground cracked and sank, and a huge purple insect broke out of the ground. Its bloody mouth appeared just below the patrol team, full of fangs, and with a fierce blow.
bite!
Gululu...
The spirit messenger's head, with its last expression of astonishment, fell from the purple insect's mouth and rolled to Tai Kadan's feet. His whole body was stiff, and he looked at the purple insect that broke out of the ground and swallowed the entire patrol into his mouth.
Inside, I kept chewing, and I could still vaguely hear the frightening screams inside.
"Uh-huh——"
A figure landed not far from Tai Kadan. It was the agile team leader who managed to escape the purple insect's attack at a critical moment. But now he only has one right leg left, and his left leg below the knee has fallen into the purple insect's mouth.
, bleeding endlessly.
"Quick, run!" The squad leader's face turned pale, and he relied on his sword and ax to stabilize his body. The yellow scarf warrior behind him was holding a melon hammer, with an angry look on his face.
"Oh? Not bad, you only lost one leg. I also want to see what you look like after being bitten off at the waist."
At this time, from the underground tunnel drilled by the purple worm, a native in tattered robes walked out. The lower skin of the robe was wrapped in layers of cloth, his face could not be seen, and his whole body exuded a rotten stench. His hands
There was a twisted and weird wooden staff inside, with a skull hanging on the top, glowing with eerie phosphorescent fire. It looked like a corpse in the cemetery had come to life, with the blasphemous appearance of an undead creature.
The squad leader knew that the enemy in front of him was very powerful and that he had no chance to escape. In despair, his muscles and bones relaxed slightly.
"What? Do you want to die with me?" The rancid native who was twenty or thirty feet away from the team leader stood still and raised his skinny arm. As the cloth squirmed, hundreds of locusts came out and turned into
A swarm of "disease bugs" attacked the squad leader.
Countless locusts crawled on the body, and the terrifying swarm bit the squad leader all over his body, burrowing into the wounds of his broken legs. Even so, the squad leader used all the remaining strength in his body to jump forward, and the yellow scarf warrior held the melon hammer high and brazenly
fall.
The combined force of the sword, axe, melon and hammer smashed the putrid native's figure to pieces. However, the body wrapped in cloth was actually filled with various insect swarms. Suddenly, with a sound, the flying insect swarms wrapped around the squad leader's body.
Greedily getting into the mouth, nose and seven orifices.
At this moment, the Yellow Turban Warrior showed compassion on his face, and seemed to be silently inspired. His whole body glowed with light, turning into a flame that destroyed evil and obstacles. Together with the body of the team leader, the insect swarm was enveloped in the true fire that shone brightly all around.
