Chapter 109: Alleyway Ambush

"Noodles, your move is too risky." Immediately afterwards, Barrett also pulled out the 'broken peak' in his hand and took a step into the alley outside the blacksmith shop. From Barrett's current point of view, the environment in front of him was barely a makeshift ambush site.

The 'Flame Furnace' on the edge of the business district is not on the main road, but it is less than 80 feet away from the intersection of the main road. At the same time, although the three floors of the building on both sides can effectively block the sight of many irrelevant people, the operators here can see the scene in front of them clearly through the windows.

Unless you can control the merchants on both sides of this alleyway (half of which are still street-facing shops), it would be foolish to attack and kill people here - but for Barrett's enemies, it really is their only chance in the near future.

Of course, if they never intended to hide it, and they didn't care about accidental injury. These limitations are not a problem for them. While such an approach would definitely set off a huge wave in 'Ulrique', even their collaborators in the city could be crushed to pieces under the waves. But Barrett, who had experienced the war during the closed beta period, knew that the Lucian people were crazy, and once those brute bears got up, they were not only reckless, even if someone stopped them, nine cows would not be able to pull them back.

"Rieli, don't turn into a raven yet! This kind of image will probably become the best target in the city. Barrett, observing his surroundings, said, "Let's choose the rhinoceros people!" The thick skin was enough to rival a fine cuirass. ”

The Rhino Man is not a member of the Lord's Plane Beast Man family. They are an otherworldly creature that lives on the plane of Arcadia. Between the blooming apple blossoms and the churning waves of wheat, they enjoyed the pleasure of enjoying calm, but did not forget to spread the idea of harmony and peace to the multiverse. They worship order and crush evil. Even if it is to be used violently for this reason, it will not be spared.

But among the supernatural abilities of the main plane. These creatures of the upper planes have a good reputation. If it becomes this thing in 'Ulrik'. Don't go back to being locked by the crow like a crow demon and then set on fire.

"I'm thinking about what a hefty penalty awaits our barrage of spells." Saying this, Rielly quickly transforms into a muscular humanoid who combines human and rhinoceros features. A gleaming pale gray leather armor covers the entire body (this is actually the rhinoceros skin), and a large black horn protrudes from the middle of the forehead. At the same time, his height also jerked upward, becoming very close to Barrett.

"You can rest assured in this regard! I never do anything I wasn't prepared for. Barrett, who was outside the door, whispered, "When I came out this time, I got the Chamber of Commerce's emergency counterattack permit." ”

"That's the best news I've ever heard today." Rielly, who had grown larger, held the scroll in her hand and walked into the alley outside the store, surrounded by three companions beside her.

Claudia who was observing Rielly's changes as she walked. Auditore. At this time, he whistled: "Oh! Lily, your new appearance is much more handsome than the gargoyle before. It looks like a humanoid robot with a few animal features. In the Middle Ages, was this thing called a Transformer? ”

"Claudia, you're really wide-ranging." Rielly, who has become five big and three thick, is so angry that she retorted.

By the time the players were almost all set up and ready for battle, the enemy you imagined still hadn't appeared. All that was left in the alleyway in front of him was Barrett and the ubiquitous wind howling by.

Beads of sweat were already on the forehead of the anvil wielding the war hammer: "Why hasn't it appeared yet?" ”

"Are they ready to wait for us to attack first? This is not a transmission game with a red name setting. As long as they hide in this vicinity, they have already constituted a hostile condition! "Clematis who used his shield to cover the mage behind. Bot muttered quietly.

"They probably want us to go one more way to the exit, which will reduce our chances of escaping back to the blacksmith's shop." As he said this, Barrett, who was looking around, suddenly narrowed his eyes, because he noticed that the dust carried by the breeze of the folded rolls had actually avoided a certain position behind the crowd, intentionally or unintentionally.

As his eyes lit up, he turned around and shouted, "Seven o'clock, glitter dust!" ”

With Barrett's words, the tall Rielly lowered the scroll in her hand. He began to wave his thick fingers and began to channel the magic energy. But at this time, the ambushers who had been hiding also sensed the change that Barrett's words would bring - they attacked first.

The sound of "whoosh", "whoosh" and "whoosh" sounded one after another, and the arrows glowing with cold light were like swallows returning to their nests towards the blood-stained gray flowers. After shooting, enemies in their own shape are revealed. In his hand is a wire crossbow with a matte finish. This kind of munitions control products, which were first sold by Boreham Collar to the outside world, naturally have a variety of imitations after such a long period of changes.

Although taking advantage of the first-mover advantage and continuous investment in improvement, the wire crossbow produced by Boreham has maintained a near-generational gap with other origins. But even those backward imitations are enough to pose a great threat to players right now. The powerful kinetic energy allowed the bolt to easily penetrate the thin barrier constructed by the 'Mage Armor'. At the same time, the magical aura that shone on the arrows also made the player's previous 'protective arrows' an ornament - as the spells could be used against the ranged attacks of flying magic.

Seeing this, Barrett immediately quickened his pace, and at the same time, his thoughts moved the shoes under his feet, and then Barrett's movements from his physical body to the flickering of the sparks of his mind began to change - the magical effect of the 'acceleration technique' surrounded him, causing all his actions to bring out afterimages.

The acceleration effect of the mage's three rings does not come from the main push of the wind or the stimulation of the flesh and nerves. To put it bluntly, it is the primary product of the arcane caster's exploration of time—a short-term, small-scale adjustment of the flow rate of time.

Barrett, who received this help, flashed in the direction where the arrow was flying, and the broken peak in his hand waved like a peacock opening a screen, unfolding a cold flickering light curtain. So enter the crossbow bolts within the area of influence of this light curtain. All of them were mistaken and broken under that blade.

Unfortunately, even the best of the blade barrier could not be able to cut all the crossbows fired by the enemy in two—who knows how the guys in front of them could shoot such a staggering number of crossbow arrows. With their numbers, even with three heads and six arms, they can't do this.

A series of "clanging bells". It was the one out of Barrett's reach, the crossbow bolt and Claudia. Auditore and Clematis. The collision of the two Both's armor shields.

The enchanted arrow easily plunged into the steel shield of the two of them. Fortunately, the distance finally stopped before it was pierced, but the arrow stuck across the shield still affected the normal movement of the two.

"Poof! Burst! "Even after such a tight defense, there are still two lucky crossbow bolts and Claudia. Auditore and Clematis. Both's body had intimate contact.

Thankfully, after so many defenses, the power of the crossbow bolt has been weakened a lot. In the end, after piercing the chain armor, the flesh was not too deep. As the muscles tense and blood flows down the shaft of the arrow, it appears.

At the same time, Rieli, who was under the protection of everyone, finally completed her spell. With the carrot-like fingers pointing at the ambush that had just finished covering the blow, it was immediately covered in a glittering dust - it had to be the luck of the mage, and the occasional stray arrow failed to pierce the newly covered layer of rhinoceros skin.

Several of them were unlucky enough to pass the will-free immunity, and were blinded in an instant. Intelligent beings with light-sensitive vision will inevitably fall into panic when faced with sudden darkness. Those guys subconsciously discarded the wire crossbow in their hands. Then he covered his eyes and wailed.

If it were for a team of adventurers who had always been experienced, this kind of reaction would have been used to by Stone. But for these guys in front of them, it has seriously affected their morale.

'Well-trained troops who have not seen much blood? It's not very common in a sense...... Barrett thought as he watched the other man's reaction. But then he didn't have the heart to think about these things.

As the first wave of ranged strikes ended, the enemy's other men in ambush in the alley also launched an attack on the player. The first to cut in was the enemy who had not known what means to hide on the roofs on both sides. They leapt into the air and pounce on the players.

The quick anvil waved the sledgehammer in his hand, and scolded as he rushed to the landing point: "Do these fools think they are making movies? Or can they fly. ”

Then, before one of the attackers could hit the ground, the dwarven king's sledgehammer had already slammed into the opponent's waist. The sound of "kala" is like that of a wolfdog gnawing on meat bones. Then I saw that the guy's expression became extremely hideous, and then he flew out with his waist crooked.

The enemy who was closer to Barrett didn't have time to make any expressions, and the 'broken peak' in Barrett's hand was directly struck upwards - the opponent was split in two from his left hip to his right shoulder. From the corpse, which had been cut in two, blood and dirt were spilled, filling the entire alley with a fishy smell.

And the cat boy also met another attacker at this time. After receiving the blessing of the state of 'Ox Power', this warrior monk who has always been dragged down by his power in the past. This time, he finally completed the harvest of his life in a short time through the wielding scythe.

But what people didn't expect was that the few lightly armed soldiers who fell from the sky in front of them were actually the enemy's bait. Then the players deal with their little time. The main force of the ambushers had broken away from the long-range crossbowmen behind them, and they were only one step away from Barrett's party.

Leading the way was a heavily armored man in shiny full-body armor, his armor with visible smear marks, apparently to conceal important signs that would reveal his identity to others.

At that moment, there was a muffled "bang-" sound, and the tail feathers of an arrow on the helmet of the heavily armed professional were constantly swinging. I don't know where the noodles are hidden, and as soon as they are shot, they are already a blockbuster.

Then the guy who was supposed to be big-headed suddenly became a little faltering, and the charge that was supposed to be quite imposing became staggering like an old lady walking—but it was a pity that this guy's whole body armor was of excellent quality, and his own vitality was tenacious, and he didn't lie down after such an attack.

With the idea of taking advantage of his illness to kill him, Barrett immediately launched a counter-charge towards the wounded tin can - if it had been in the past, he would have been more conservative in his actions with the safety of his teammates behind him. But after Anvil joined the team, he was finally able to get rid of his identity as a meat shield and devote himself to killing and injuring his enemies.

The heavy pace vibrated the smooth stone slabs beneath his feet, and the air around him twisted as he swung his blade. In an instant, the surging force of a flash flood crushed the body of the tin can in front of him—the sound of metal cracking rang in Barrett's ears. The full-body armor in front of him was cut out of a huge gap under the blade of Broken Peak. And the life in it was shaken by this tremendous impact, and it completely lost its meaning. At the same time, the disemboweling wound also caused his blood to slowly flow down the giant Mo knife into Barrett's hand.

With his vast experience, Barrett already understood that the enemy in front of him had lost his combat effectiveness. Then, with a force on his wrist, he tossed aside the enemy, which was indistinguishable from a corpse. Immediately after that, he shifted his gaze to the next target.

But at this time, the enemy's spellcaster also completed his first spell after entering the battle, and suddenly a large net fell from the sky and shrouded the players. Bad luck Claudia. Auditore and Clematis. The two of them were instantly entangled and unable to move. Even the dwarves have become difficult to move. (To be continued......)
