Chapter 44: Counterattack
When Lim heard Lu Xi's "Demacia" finger charge, he didn't hesitate to put his two knives in his hands and invade his body. Although she didn't know what "Demacia" meant, she always felt that it was very powerful as a charging slogan, so she saw the twin blades of blazing white and fire really turn into an indestructible meteor in Lim's hands, and the four skeletons were shattered by just one shot.
Elovier is a level 18 assassin and a level 10 shadow priest. She is swift and silent, and can skillfully wield drow assassination techniques and some basic spells. At this time, she protected Primla's flanks, and the scimitar and short sword in both hands shot like a poisonous snake spitting letters, without making any false moves, directly hitting the enemy's vital points, extremely ruthless. The blood foaming from the throats of the two winged men was already covered by the two winged men, and they died in great pain.
Standing in the middle of the triangular arrows, charging forward to open the way is naturally the indispensable tank in the team - the silver puppet "Abu". Although it has a very frustrating name, similar to that of a pet cat, the only meaning of the construct puppet since it was created by the alchemists is to kill. Its killing efficiency may not be as good as that of the martial arts Lim and the lethal Vier, but none of the enemies who died in its hands were embarrassed, and the deterrence against the enemy was naturally the strongest.
Just when the third enemy's head was smashed in the neck by Abu's punch, no one dared to come within three meters of it, except for skeletons and zombies that had no ability to think.
The three magic apprentices stood in the back and watched the show, putting a few magic spells on occasion to pick up leaks, and by the time a federal lieutenant named Graheim arrived with more than two dozen soldiers, all the enemies at the entrance of the headquarters had been cleared.
"This ...... You did it all? Lieutenant Graham looked at the corpses of the enemy all over the ground, and looked at Lu Xi and the others as if they were looking at monsters. As a native of the Federation, Graham naturally knew the strength of magicians, but he also knew that the boys and girls in front of him were not experienced battle mages, but just magic apprentices who had come to practice.
"There are only three of you......"
"Do you see me and Lim as attachments?" Elovier muttered discontentedly.
"Is the central mage Su zhì so high? But you're only apprentices to magic! This...... Even the senior war mage directly under the headquarters can only do this. ”
"Maybe it's because we're the protagonists." Lu Xi shrugged his shoulders, then slammed the door of the headquarters room and loudly reported his name. There was a cacophony in the room, and soon someone opened the door.
Major Lorence walked out with a few guards.
He had already put on his full body armor and held a large sword in his right hand. Generally speaking, the body of the Winged Man is weaker than that of a human, so being able to use full-body iron armor and two-handed heavy weapons is a rare and strong person. There was a trail of blood oozing from his underwear under his left shoulder armor, and the blade of his right heavy sword was completely red with blood. It can be seen that before Lu Xi arrived, he had already gone through a vicious battle.
On top of that, there were only seven or eight people left around him who could fight, including four spirits with trumpet crossbows and chain balls.
This was the first time Lu Xi had seen the old butler Gamcha's fellow clansmen on the battlefield, and he couldn't help but look at it twice. However, he knew that the strength of the spirits lies in their innate comprehension of mechanisms and projects, and the best place to play their strengths is next to the warehouses and siege machines where the puppets are built, and when it comes to the frontal battlefield, the combat effectiveness is probably not as good as that of goblins and skeletons.
It's no wonder that a dignified silver first-order swordsman will be made so wolf by a group of black iron and a few bronze, after all, there are many ants that bite and kill elephants! If he had been a little late, the commander of Job One might have died in his own headquarters. …,
"I didn't expect that. You were the first to save me? The major looked at Lu Xi with a look of surprise.
"First, it's not just us who came to my rescue, but also the troops that the lieutenant brought with me." Lu Xi shook his head and let go of Lieutenant Graham behind him.
"Second, the federation has military law, and if the master fails, the whole army will be punished. I can't carry such a big black pot after only a few months of military training. ”
"Sounds like there's a third." Major Lorlens said coldly.
"Well, thirdly, the rescue commander is the duty of his subordinates. Above! ”
"Hmph, if you don't say anything, you won't be able to do it. Thank you anyway, though! The Major smiled, then turned his gaze back to Graham, "Are you...... Lieutenant Graheim, the leader of the sixth squad. ”
"It's Xiaguan." The young lieutenant put his legs together and gave a majestic military salute, "My subordinates are really happy to see that you are okay, sir!" ”
"Well, thank you for your hard work." Major Lorlens returned the salute and looked at the armed soldiers under the lieutenant's command.
"Is there still so many people in your squad?"
"Yes, Your Excellency. In addition to the three sentries who died in the sneak attack, there were four more who died in battle, and the rest were here. There should be thirty-five, but there are twenty-eight! ”
"Twenty-eight, that's enough......" Major Lorence muttered for a moment, and then ordered loudly: "Lieutenant Graheim, you send eight people to stay here with the rest of the headquarters, and the rest wait with me!" ”
"Understood, Lord Major!" The lieutenant, who is a professional soldier, quickly responded loudly.
"With you? Where are you going? Lu Xi, who is a supernumerary, also quickly raised objections.
"Of course, we are gathering our troops step by step and preparing to counterattack!" The major turned his head to look at Lu Xi, and a sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth, "However, if the magician master doesn't dare, he can stay at the headquarters like this." ”
"Hey, what a clumsy agitation." Lu Xi couldn't help but shrug his shoulders, he looked back at his companions, and got their affirmative answer, "However, it seems that we really have to be fooled." Let's go crazy with you like this. Don't forget to report to the military department. “
"Hmph, you 'pillars of the Federation' are indispensable for a part of the credit." The major replied coldly, turned to a left-behind officer at the headquarters with a captain's epaulettes, and said, "If there are reinforcements from our side to come to support, let them hold at the headquarters!" You're in charge of the qiē here! ”
"Yes! Sir! ”
So, after a simple bandage, Lorens once again led the team and set off along the road where Lu Xi and the others had rushed to support. At this time, he had already put the heavy sword on his back, lifted a spear, and his face was full of murderous energy. This is normal, as a famous person who loves to fly, the Wingmen are better at using bows and spears that are easy to attack, and although Major Lawrence should be a rare warrior among the Wingmen, the spear should be more comfortable to use than the heavy sword.
At this time, he was no longer surrounded by the few remnants of the headquarters, but a whole half of the squad of fully armed elite soldiers, plus three magicians and two servants, and the natural momentum was very different from the malaise just now.
Walking on the road, he killed several groups of enemies in a row, and the size of this team gradually increased to forty people, and Major Lawrens was more confident.
Lu Xi, who was walking in the team, looked at the menacing commander, and finally couldn't help asking: "Those Black Flag Winged people raided Job No. 1 tonight, do you have any opinion on this, as the commander here?" ”
"Who knows?"
"Huh? You're not responsible for this answer. ”
"I really don't know." Major Lorens shrugged, "Even though this is the eastern border, there have been cases where the Black Flag Wingers have taken advantage of our patrols to attack sentry posts or merchants. However, is it the first time to attack a castle with such a garrison? ”…,
"For the first time? Did they take the wrong medicine? However, looking at this situation, there are at least no less than 500 people who have invaded this castle, and it is not possible for so many people to take the wrong medicine together. ”
"Maybe I really took the wrong medicine......" This answer obviously knows that it is perfunctory.
"By the way, I also found a large number of undead soldiers. When did the Black Flag Wingmen of Namoa mingle with the necromancers of Heras come together again? ”
“……”
"Well, if you don't want to answer, forget it, I thought you were of the same race, and you could resonate a little bit."
"Boy!" Major Lorence paused slightly, squinting his eyes at Lu Xi, "As a Winged Man White Banner nobleman with noble blood, you actually put me and that disgusting group of bandits on the same species, this is enough for me to throw a pair of white gloves at you!" ”
"You're a samurai, and I'm a magician, so white gloves and anything have nothing to do with us." Lu Xi pursed his lips.
Lorence stared at Lu Xi with a dangerous gaze similar to that of a carnivorous beast, and after a while, he snorted coldly and continued on his way.
Lu Xi was also somewhat frightened by this gaze, he subconsciously took a few steps back, and was parallel to several companions in a straight line.
"Why are you still provoking him?" Sai Xiliu glared at Lu Xi and scolded him in a low voice.
"I didn't want to provoke him, who knew this guy was so sensitive, he was like a little daughter-in-law."
The Winged Men are usually distinguished by the White and Red Flag Wingmen of the Commonwealth from the Black Flag Wingmen of the Namoa Mountains.
In ancient times, the kingdom of the Winged Men occupied the mountains and cliffs that stretched for thousands of miles in the entire Namoa region, the White Flag Winged represented the royal family and nobility, and were the highest ruling class of the Winged People, and the Red Flag Winged represented the warriors and officials, and the violence and power organs that maintained the entire social institution. As for the black flag, it represents the vast number of civilians and slaves.
It is said that Pakens, one of the six demon gods, the bloodthirsty king, tempted the souls of the Black Flag Wingers and injected the elements of war and killing into their souls, so the Black Flag Wingers launched a civil war and overthrew the Winged Kingdom.
The defeated White Banner and Red Banner Wingers fled west and became an important part of the Natya Federation.
Unfortunately, Parkens taught the Black Flag Wingers to kill, but not how to govern the land. Having lost the leadership of the White Flag and the Red Flag, the Black Flags had to make only one choice in order to survive - robbery. As a result, this formed the Black Flag Winged Man bandits who shook the continent.
After so many years, although there is actually no difference in appearance or blood between the winged people of the white flag/red flag and the black flag, it is enough for each other not to regard each other as the same race.
Luo Lunsi's entanglement of the white flag winged people and aristocrats, Lu Xi, who had just arrived, couldn't understand anything.
The depression didn't last long, and the team rushed to the only small schoolyard in the castle, where dozens of corpses were lying on the ground. There were a small number of Black Flag Wingers dressed in shabby and varied clothes, but many more were the garrison of Job One.
This was also a very surprising discovery. Along the way, it was not that everyone did not find their own dead, but every soldier who died in battle was lying next to at least three times the size of his own enemy. This made Lu Xi feel very emotionally about the elite of the Eastern Army, but now, the scene is completely reversed.
Two monsters as big as calves, with forelimbs as thick as crabs and hindlimbs as strong as rabbits, covered with sword-like hair, were lying on the ground, munching on the corpses of the war dead.
It was ghouls, necromancers' domesticated pets and war beasts.
Seeing such a scene, Major Lawrence's eyes immediately turned red. He roared, spear in hand, and pounced. …,
The ghouls reacted almost instantly, one leaping into the air, their tough claws facing the Major. The other jumped directly to the high ceiling, sucking the stone wall with the hook of his limbs, ready to sneak up at any moment.
"Tear!" The Major stabbed the spear in his hand directly into the ghoul's gaping jaw, turning the other into a skewer. As for the one on the ceiling, it had been slashed by a summoning iron fist of Sesilul, and when it raised its head in a daze in the clouds and fog, Primra had already swung it directly at it.
"Phew!" Lu Xi spat at the ghoul's corpse, "It looks so much like a licker, I didn't expect it to be such a vegetable!" ”
With a wave of his hand, Major Lenros shook off the blood that had been attached to the spear. He walked up to a corpse and was silent for a long time.
"That's?"
"Captain Rudeba, Deputy Commander of Job One." Lieutenant Granheim whispered.
Lu Xi couldn't help but be a little stunned when he heard it. He looked around, and most of his dead were lying on their backs with painful expressions on their faces. By this time, Sehireu had already walked up to a corpse, and there was some discomfort and fear on her face, but she was forced to press down. She turned over the corpse, examining it carefully.
"How?" Lu Xi walked up behind her and asked.
"There were no fatal injuries, but there were obvious signs of corrosion on the skin, and there were very offensive magical fluctuations in the body. Obviously, he died under necromancy! ”
"Hey, there really are necromancers." Carol looked at the dead bodies around her, her face a little stiff, but she still let out a pretended relaxed laugh.
"Isn't there a consensus on this point?"
Looking at the surrounding scene, Lu Xi suddenly realized something, and his face suddenly lost its blood. With all his strength, he let out a hissing roar, and even his voice was a little tasty.
"Everyone, get out!"
After all, he was just a newcomer, and even if he was a magician, his reputation among the soldiers was far inferior to that of the junior officers who ate and lived together. The armed soldiers looked at each other, some hesitated, some looked at Major Lorence to the side, but no one responded.
"Major, corpse blasting!" Lu Xi shouted loudly.
Major Lawrence's face also changed, he waved his big hand, and shouted at the soldiers: "Run! Come on! ”
After all, his order was a few steps late, and the corpses in the venue seemed to have turned into explosives in the shape of human beings at that moment, and they all exploded one by one! The flesh spread in all directions with a shockwave of dark magic, causing more screams and casualties.
"Boom Guy......" Strange laughter slowly floated over, "This is really a banquet! ”
