Chapter 144: Rainy Night Strikes
It was an indiscretable roar.
Dobby narrowed his eyes and stared at the rainstorm-covered world in front of him. The sound of rain and thunder in my ears almost drowned out a sigh of urgency. If it weren't for the fact that he had been vigilant because of some bad premonition, Dobby would have been hard to believe that what he had just heard was a hallucination. Maybe it wasn't the roar of a beast, but the roar of thunder. He looked around, and saw that most of the soldiers were already under the rain cloth, sighing and enjoying their food. The surroundings are normal, and I can't see anything different. The only thing that disturbed Dobby was that the girls were still gathered around the carriage, and although the rain had completely enveloped the slender and delicate figures, none of them moved. There was even a moment when Dobby wondered if the girls were dead. Otherwise, why didn't they even move? Are these guys dead?
Or is it ...............
At this moment, not only Dobby, but even the other soldiers noticed the strangeness of those girls. Although in terms of the army, these guys are still far from being banned by the regular army, but they are not new to combat. Soon a few soldiers took up their arms again and looked around suspiciously, but the pouring rain blocked their view, and almost no one could see anything nearby.
"Roar..................!"
Another bang.
Dobby pulled out his sword, and he could now be sure that he was definitely not nervous. It was clear that there was something else that came with the rainstorm. And if he didn't guess wrong, it was definitely not good news for himself.
And see the captain's movements. The other soldiers also got back up, and they raised their shields. Holding the long sword, he looked around blankly. In this case. Scouts don't do much. Luckily, they had formed a circular makeshift stronghold surrounded by trucks, and they didn't have to worry about being breached from all sides -- at least the half-man-tall trucks should be able to act as a bit of a wall.
"Roar......... Roar ..............."
Soon, the roars began to come and go, and people saw a faint black shadow scurrying in the rain. Seeing this scene, Dobby immediately tensed his nerves, he grasped the scene tightly, and vigilantly patrolled around. It was clear that they had been surrounded by some ill-intentioned guests. I just don't know when the other side will attack.
The rain gradually became calmer. The roars grew louder and louder, but the battle Dobby had expected never came. This made him more and more restless. It's clear that the other side is playing with themselves, they are deliberately trying to exhaust themselves, tense their nerves, and then give them a fatal blow when they can't hold it anymore.
These damn bastards have good intentions!!
"Attention everyone, calm down, calm down! Don't panic!! β
Thinking of this, Dobby immediately shouted loudly. Hearing his voice, the soldiers who were originally panicked calmed down a lot. Soon, they raised their long shields against the back of the wagon under the roar of the experienced veterans, and drew their swords at the same time. Placed in the gap of the shield, it didn't take long for a defensive line that looked fairly strong to form.
And the enemy outside does not seem to be interested in this at all. Dobby used to think that the opponent would attack while he was on the defensive. But the enemies didn't seem to intend to do that at all, they just circled the convoy. From time to time the roar of a beast is heard. As if mocking, as if making fun of these prey that have fallen into it.
Damn it!!
Looking at the soldiers under his command, his face turned pale. The way his body trembled, Dobby couldn't help but complain in a low voice. Now there is a lot of trouble on his side, the pouring rain makes it difficult for him to see the enemy clearly, and the icy cold air will also make the already low morale even lower. Although from the current point of view, the other party does not seem to act rashly for the time being because of the heavy rain, but this makes Dobby more and more nervous. This shows that you are not facing a beast, but a creature with the same intelligence!
"Mr. Jenn........."
In the carriage, Lycia and Deli were also pale, and they naturally heard the roars of the beasts. Although Jenn had warned them of the danger before inviting Lygia, after experiencing it herself, the noble young woman's face turned pale with fright, after all, the howl was so terrifying that just listening to it made her feel as if she was in the most terrifying dream.
However, in the face of their uncertain looks, Jenn was as calm as ever.
"Don't worry, Mrs. Black, it's just some beast, there's nothing to fear."
As he spoke, Jenn turned his head to look at Patilina, who had shrunk into a ball beside him.
"Pattilina, how about we go and greet our guests?"
"Of course no problem, host! I've been trying to clean up those idiots who are dreaming up, they roar like ghosts, and they can't sleep at all! β
Hearing Jenn's words, Patilina, who was still drowsy just now, immediately jumped up excitedly. Then she pushed open the door of the carriage and rushed out like a meteor. Behind Patilina, Jenn also stood up, smiling and nodding to the ladies.
"Then Miss Delly, Mrs. Black, I'll go and go back."
"Ah...............h
Seeing that Jenn was about to leave, Lygia opened her mouth, but she didn't know what to say. And at this time, Dai Li, who was beside her, suddenly spoke.
"Ah, please wait a minute, Mr. Jenn!"
"What's the matter? Miss Deli? β
"Yes, that's ........."
Under Jenn's gaze, Dali was a little nervous, but she still mustered up the courage and stammered.
"I initiated this operation, so I will fight with you as well. Besides, I'm a mage........."
"There's no need for that, Miss Delly."
But. Before she could finish her sentence, she was interrupted by Jenn.
"Just leave it to us. After all, we're here for this. β
After saying this. Jenn turned away from the carriage, and when the door closed again, Deli sat back down and sighed helplessly.
I don't know why, looking at the pale and helpless aristocratic lady at the moment, the original uneasy and agitated mood in the depths of Ligia's heart suddenly felt a little comforted.
"Lord Jenn, what are we going to do?"
When he saw Jenn step out of the carriage, Dobby, who couldn't wait for a long time, immediately stepped forward and asked. And to hear this high-ranking swordsman's inquiry. Jenn just glanced at him.
"It's simple, attack, destroy them......... That's what we're here for, isn't it? β
"This ..............."
Hearing this, Dobby was dumbfounded for a moment, indeed, now even a fool can guess that these guys circling around their camp are probably the ogres in the previous report. But with the current situation, how are they going to attack? The rain was so heavy that I didn't even know how many people there were on the other side. And it's like this......... Could it be that this adult is planning to kill him alone?
But before Dobby could say anything, the situation in front of him suddenly changed.
The torrential rain on the Eagle Plateau comes and goes quickly, just in the blink of an eye. The torrential rain that had been pouring down quickly began to lighten. And the vague figures around them began to become clear. Immediately after, as if receiving some kind of signal, only a series of roars were heard. The next moment, Dobby saw a figure leap high. Pounced in the direction of the camp.
"Enemy attack!!"
Until the actual attack was encountered, Dobby calmed down instead. He roared, and the sword in his hand whizzed forward, slashing at the red figure that was rushing towards him, only to hear a scream, and the monster rolled over and fell to the ground. On the surface, it appears to have a strong body similar to that of a human, except that the face that looks like a hairless orangutan is particularly hideous. Not only that, but the monster looked like it had no skin, only bloody muscles, and you could see the green tendons and blood vessels erect with its movements.
And seeing the true face of this monster, Dobby's face finally changed.
"Ogre !!"
And at this time, the offensive finally began.
The furious beasts tore through the rain curtain and leaped high into the air, swooping down towards the center of the camp. The stacked barriers of the trucks are simply meaningless to them. And the warriors' sharp swords were bounced off before they even had time to touch the disgusting body. Seeing that those hapless warriors are about to be thrown to the ground and fall victim to these beasts.
"Mr. Jenn, Miss Patilina!"
Seeing this scene, Dobby's eyes widened, he was just a high-level swordsman, and he had no problem dealing with one or two ogres, but in the face of the attack of hundreds of ogres, even he was powerless. So the only thing the High Swordsman could do was to rush over with his sword to help his soldiers break the siege, while looking at Jenn and hoping that he could come up with something to destroy these damned beasts. After all, the other party is a legendary powerhouse, and there should be no problem dealing with these ogres.
But Dobby only saw Jenn stretch out his hand and snap his fingers lightly, and then he waved his right hand and pointed forward as if he were a conductor in the hall playing a symphony.
"Attack."
The next moment, Dobby saw the girls who had been gathered around the carriage motionless suddenly moved.
They lifted their robes, their slender hands crossed, and soon, a glittering sword light reflected the raindrops in a beautiful trajectory like a dance, attracting Dobby's gaze like butterflies flying up and down. But before he could say anything more, he saw the dozen or so girls on the outermost side with their hands staggered, and then the long sword in their hands swung forward violently.
The next moment, the trail of silver-white light erupted from their blades with a roar, sweeping forward. Even the rain curtain was cut down in the midst of this powerful force. And the ogres that fell from the sky were just as unbearable, they didn't even have time to show their unique cruelty to the enemy in front of them, they were swept by the sword light as thin as cicada's wings, and the next moment, they cracked like ham cut by a kitchen knife, spraying blood and falling to the ground.
Sword Qi Manifestation, Sword Master?!
Seeing this scene, Dobby was so frightened that he almost threw away his own sword, he is now a high-level elite, and he has been able to condense sword qi. Taking it a step further, manifesting the sword qi out of the body is the existence of the master level. But as a fighter, Dobby certainly knows how difficult it can be. He was almost fifty years old, and there was no way to break through that threshold until now. And now, in front of him, a group of many sixteen or seventeen-year-old girls actually have the ability to manifest sword qi?!
Is there still a law of the Heavenly Principle?
But for Dobby it was only the beginning, for the next moment he saw the girls in the second row raise their right handsβand instead of drawing their swords as the former, they held the hilt of the sword in this way, and then whispered something, and pointed forward.
And the next moment, as if in response to their call, the golden thread representing the law emerged from the purple gem at the top of the hilt, quickly fused and twisted, turning into an incomparably strong protective shield.
Curse Sword Double Cultivation!!
At this moment, Dobby was completely dumbfounded.
Is this still human? (To be continued......)
