Chapter 141: If you are the protagonist, you have to be handsome
Chapter 141 is that the protagonist has to be handsome
Although there is no such high-end organization as the Zài City and the army in Heiman City, and although adventurers and mercenaries are not noble professions with dedication and sacrifice, maybe there are people who really love the dilapidated ancient city behind them, or maybe they are just for self-preservation. All in all, there were quite a few people who climbed the city walls with a particularly sense of responsibility in the face of the impending attack.
The mercenaries and adventurers stood tremblingly at the head of the city, looking at the scene in the field, and they couldn't help but swallow a big mouthful of saliva. The ziyou practitioners, who had never been very religious, began to pray humbly to the one qiē deity they knew for the first time. They originally lived in a world of swords licking blood, earning money for their lives, and originally thought that they would no longer have fear, but they never thought that the essence of battle and war was originally different.
Bai Sensen's skeletons and green zombies crowded the fields outside the city walls, as if they were blankets made of corpses, covering the fields and Qianmo under the fear of death. They carried rusty knives and guns, wooden sticks, and even the hands and feet of some hapless companion, and they looked like a rioting rabble of mud legs, but they brought a sense of despair and depression like an abyss.
In the fantasy world, there are three major novice leveling cannon fodder - skeleton soldiers, earth jing, and slimes. Indeed, skeleton soldiers who have just awakened from the tomb are often not as effective as an ordinary adult man if they have not been purified by dark magic. However, these seemingly lethal "miscellaneous soldiers", just standing there, have already made many adventurers and mercenaries fight with their teeth.
It has been said that the most terrible army in the world is not armed to the teeth, well-trained, high-morale, and blood-boiling kings, but a silent army. Because such an army, whether it is victory or defeat, whether it is death or killing, their state of mind will not be shaken in any way. But in fact, as long as it is an army composed of living people, there is always the possibility of being shaken. In this world, there is only one kind of army that can meet such requirements - an army made of dead men.
"Don't ...... Don't be afraid! No, isn't it just a bunch of skeletons? Let's not already encounter that underground ruin in the Black Forest last time we went down? A mercenary uncle who looked very vicissitudes of life finally suppressed the coolness in his heart and loudly cheered up his subordinates.
"But, but chief, we haven't seen so much, have we?"
Many people describe the scene of hundreds of thousands of people fighting in literary and artistic works, but in fact, once there are more than 10,000 people, the margin of the team is almost extended to the sight of human beings. This is why there is a saying that "there are more than 10,000 people, boundless and boundless".
The head of the mercenary group couldn't count how many enemies there were, but at least it should be more than twenty or thirty thousand, and he couldn't help but feel cold and numb, but he still said stiffly: "No, isn't it just a lot of numbers, a little more?" We're an excellent mercenary group that has participated in several wars in the north! Last time, we fought for Earl Hyde in Veguia, didn't we fight with so many orcs? ”
"Head, head, there were tens of thousands of people here last time......
"Nonsense, we also have tens of thousands of people this time, well, probably......" The mercenary captain can't even convince himself that the professional army of the Nord muscle brothers can be compared to the rabble of adventurers, mercenaries, and ordinary citizens?
At this moment, there seemed to be a silent leader passing through the undead army. The army of the dead began to advance, the bodies of skeletons and zombies rising and falling in the huge camp, like a lake of corpses, slowly but with unmistakable force, advancing towards the black walls.
"Don't, don't be afraid! I didn't see what siege weapons they carried, I, we have the city walls, they can't get up! ”
The self-deception of the defenders did not bring comfort for even half a minute. Soon, three extraordinarily large bodies broke away from the besieging army of corpses, and rushed towards the most dilapidated section of the wall at a speed no weaker than that of a galloping horse.
It was a strange monster more than two meters tall, with a body that looked like a skinned marmot, two forelimbs, one large and one small, and its legs were particularly thick and powerful, like enlarged rabbit legs. Behind them were three large hematomas that trembled slightly like hearts, emitting a foul stench of sulfur that almost smoked a person to death.
What's that? That's too non-mainstream, isn't it?
The well-informed mercenaries have not seen such monsters either, but they are at least certain that they are enemies. So, the nearby mercenaries raised their bows and crossbows one after another, and struck at those ugly and disgusting monsters.
Although the speed of the monster is fast, it is not small in size, and it is not easy to dodge. They were soon hit by several arrows, and muddy blood and pus flowed down the wounds, dripping on the ground, and even rising green smoke. Of course, such a subtle scene will naturally be overlooked.
Soon, the monsters were pierced like a hornet's nest against the city wall, and the mercenaries still didn't care. Although these monsters look quite powerful, and they can also jump and run, but now that they are so badly injured, it should be impossible to jump on the city wall, right? Of course, it doesn't matter if he jumps up, there are a dozen knives waiting to greet each monster.
However, the monsters did not jump into the city, they stuck to the walls, and the yellow eyes flashed not bloodthirsty, but a terrible absolute. They opened their bloody jaws and let out not the roar of a beast, but a low, trembling note of words: "Duwaka!" ”
"Boom!" The monsters exploded around their bodies, and the deadly magic that filled the blood tumors behind them turned into explosive waves of air and shockwaves, smashing unscrupulously against the ruined walls.
The walls, which had not been rested in a decent way for hundreds of years, could no longer withstand such a blow, and the bonds between the masonry and stone were brutally torn apart like cloth, and the smoke and dust of the explosion began to crumble. The mercenaries on that section of the city wall were caught off guard and were directly swept in, and their bones were lost in the explosion and collapse, and many of them didn't even have time to let out a final scream.
The self-detonation attacks of several monsters, and a rift more than 10 meters wide appeared in front of the army of the undead.
It was also at this time that the skeletons and zombies finally launched a general attack, and if it was just a step just now, it was already a group charge. The soldiers of the dead scrambled to pounce on the entrance, which looked very wide, but was particularly narrow for tens of thousands of troops. Many zombies and skeletons were accidentally bumped into by their companions, and then countless feet stepped on them, but even so, they still moved forward step by step, persistently like a group of tools that only knew how to kill.
To put it bluntly, for the undead lords of Henas, the skeletons and zombie legions are the cheapest and most effective killing tools in their hands.
The mercenaries and adventurers began to retreat, they were not knights, and they had no gods or reasons to fight to the death. To put it bluntly, combat is a tool for their survival, not a reason.
Of course, at any given moment, there are people who are willing to do the opposite. The so-called heroic epic, the so-called favorability, the so-called prestige value, and the so-called protagonist are often brushed out in this way.
The protagonist Lu Xi, the future savior Lu Xi, who now wants to pretend to be a hero, Lu Xi, holding a sword in one hand and a staff in the other, walks towards the frightened adventurer like a lost dog, Lim and Sai Xiliu walked on both sides of him, slightly behind half a body. Captain Grimmar, Little Zhengtai Liszt and others followed menacingly.
Nanoka walked beside Lu Xi with her staff in her hand, her eyes solemn in the face of the panicked mercenaries and the skeletons and zombies that were about to rush in outside the city.
"How long will it take to repair the walls?" Lu Xi asked.
"10 meters long, 3 meters wide, 6 meters high...... With my current knowledge of alchemy and metamorphosis, it will take at least 20 minutes, and besides, the Gathering Circle of the City Fortification requires 3 people to operate, and my magic power is fine, but I must have two mages to cooperate with me. ”
"Let Sesilaeus and Liszt come." Lu Xi said: "Sai Xiliu is the president of the student council of the Zhongyāng Academy of Magic, and he is a genius in alchemy. Liszt is also the champion of this year, although he majored in prophecy, but his attainments in metamorphosis are not low. ”
"I minored in Transfiguration at the Academy, uh, how do you know? It's really worthy of being a senior sister, senior! ”
"I'll also draw the Gathering Circle of the City Fortification. It's just that this kind of magic circle doesn't require at least ten or more Jing Ying mages to operate? Sehireu asked hesitantly.
"You just treat her as a 10-person servant, in front of the white sè demon, the black sè pet concubine and the king of the night sky, a qiē common sense is used to fight my mortals." Lu Xi pointed at Nanoka and said angrily.
"It's really rude, who is the white sè demon and who is the black sè concubine? Also, whose favorite concubine is Fett? I don't want such an ugly nickname! Nanoka said loudly in dissatisfaction, looked at Sesilio and Liszt with scrutinizing eyes, and finally nodded heavily: "If the two of them are here, I can press it for less than 15 minutes." ”
"Okay, I'll give you 15 minutes." Lu Xi nodded, "Captain Grimmar, Lieutenant Aiming, take your men up the city wall." No matter what method you use, let those adventurers and mercenaries honestly take their places, as a Jingying soldier of the Federation, I can trust you! Right? ”
"Don't worry, my lord, I won't let any enemy disturb you from the air." Lieutenant Emin replied loudly.
"But master, what are you going to do?" Captain Grimmar couldn't help but ask.
"Didn't you say that? Buy Nanoka 15 minutes, and go play handsome by the way! Lu Xi looked at the wide gap, the broken walls and the flesh and bones in between, and showed a very juvenile comic protagonist-like smile: "Don't worry, I'm not a hero, if I'm not sure, I won't enter the place of death." Sai Xiliu, don't worry about me, just help Tempest draw a circle with peace of mind. ”
"Who...... Who's worried about you! In short, you, you have to be careful! ”
"Don't worry, I'm the legendary protagonist! Even if it's not Long Aotian, there will always be a halo god. ”
Before the words fell, the seven Concentrated Energy Gems on the end of the Dragon Sacrifice Staff appeared at the same time, and an incandescent fireball only the size of a fist roared out, smashing four or five skeletons that had just rushed in, and then it jumped over the gap in the city wall in one fell swoop, and then smashed headlong into the zombies and skeletons outside the city.
A flash of light that could almost blind the human eye flashed, a small sun appeared under the city wall, and completed the entire process of radiation, heating, fusion and fission in just a tenth of a second, along with the venting after the liberation of the manic fire element that was compressed to the extreme, the nearest dozen skeletons and zombies were vaporized in an instant. Immediately after, there was a deafening "boom!" that all the masses liked to hear. ”
Hundreds of undead soldiers were shattered. The flood of skeletons and zombies, in the closest place to the gap in the city wall, unexpectedly appeared a strange vacancy.
Lu Xi stood in the middle of the gap in the city wall, and with a wave of his staff, a thunderbolt swept in front of him like a whip, and suddenly a deep black mark appeared on the ground.
"Those who cross this line are crushed! Don't be unpredictable, dear! (To be continued.)
