Chapter 190: Massacre
The sudden darkness did not plunge everyone into chaos, everyone is a veteran with rich combat experience, this kind of sudden fall into darkness they have encountered each other many times, so in addition to the human body instinctively stopped in the face of darkness, those mercenaries did not change their direction and route of attack, they know very well where they are at the moment, and they are outnumbered, there are only two people on the other side, as long as a moment passes, their side can light a torch, so they have no intention of stopping at all, On the contrary, he hurried forward with the time, hoping to disrupt the opponent's pace through this sudden attack, so as to achieve the goal of defeating the enemy
In the darkness, the sound of weapons clashing, shouting and screaming filled the entire space in an instant, and after just a dozen seconds, the torch of the diamond mercenary group was also lit, held high, and the brilliance of the flame re-illuminated the entire space, and only then did the mercenaries retreat, and they were completely relying on their own experience and instinct to fight in the previous ten seconds, although they were sure that there should be no problem with them, but when the mercenaries saw the scene in front of them again, they couldn't help but be surprised.
Rhodes still stood in front of Anne, sword in his right hand and the corpse of a man dressed as a thief at his feet. Anne stood behind him, raising the pure gold shield in her hand, beside the two of them, there was already a river of blood at this moment, and there were seven or eight corpses lying there, and it was very easy to see who they had been knocked down by. Those dead corpses that still looked like people must have been under the hands of Rhodes, as for those corpses that were broken in two like scarecrows, or their entire heads were smashed to pieces, and they were unbearable to see when they saw it, they were definitely from Annie's handiwork——— although the duty of the shield warriors was to guard, but in terms of attack, they were not afraid.
But that was not what surprised the mercenaries.
Celia held the silver sword in her hand, her white wings slowly spreading, and she guarded the left side of the two of them, looking at the enemy in front of her with a serious face. To the right of Rhodes and Anne, the centaur knight let out a low roar, raising its shield and spear, the red glow of the gaps in its heavy helmet shining brighter and brighter.
Angel?!
Carmen's eyes widened suddenly, and even the other mercenaries looked at each other, not knowing what to do.
They weren't even in the mood to guess how this angel had appeared here, because the angel itself had already made them wonder what to do!
In the area covered by the Radiant Dragon Soul, the status of the angels is very high, not only because of their race and bloodline, but also because of their strong combat power and political strength. Of course, in the Radiant Dragon Country, because of the existence of the parliamentary system, the political influence of the angels has been somewhat weak. But in the Duchy of Moon, angels are definitely the class at the very top of the pyramid.
This is not only because the Lord of the Duchy of Moon is one of the three archangels, but also because the angels themselves have a strong influence, they are peace-loving, kind and enthusiastic, although a little arrogant, but not as impersonal as the elves. In addition, most angels are naturally beautiful, and it is easy to win the favor of many people. Moreover, in many cases, angels are the representatives of justice and goodness, so no matter who he is, as long as he dares to be an enemy of angels, then it is basically equivalent to the other party is an evil enemy.
Just like Lydia, although the lord of the Duchy of Moon has killed hundreds of people since he succeeded to the throne, but no one thinks she is wrong, on the one hand, she will list the other party's crimes before she makes a move - of course, this cannot erase the doubts of others, if she is a human being, then there may be many people who suspect that she deliberately fabricated it for some purpose. …,
However, it is precisely because Lydia is not a human, but an angel, and is one of the three archangels who command angels, which gives her actions the best legitimacy, at least with her status as archangel, most people will not doubt whether the people who died under her hands deserve it. Even those who opposed Lydia were only resisting the rule from the Golden City, and had never doubted the legitimacy of Lydia's actions.
Of course, this is because the image of the angel in the Duchy of Moon has long been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. In the Dragon Kingdom of Light, the influence of the angels is not so great.
And this is also the reason why the mercenaries began to hesitate, they take money to do things, but after all, they are also legitimate professionals, not bandits who do anything for money. Some of the mercenaries had already begun to drum in their hearts, they were afraid that this angel would not come to punish them······ Although it is said that Rhodes provoked first, but now seeing the angels guarding his side, it is inevitable that it will not give those mercenaries a feeling of "in fact, we are the wrong party".
Carmen's hesitation also has something to do with it.
Although he was not small, if he really gave an order to let his subordinates kill an angel, he was sure that these guys would never dare to do so, because even he himself would not dare to give this order.
However, Carmen did not hesitate for long, because Rod had already relieved him very "intimately".
"Up!"
He said this simply, and then rushed forward with his sword. At the same time, the Centaur Knights, Celia, and Anne also rushed to the enemy in front of them.
Rod's choice completely dispelled the thoughts of these mercenaries, and they no longer needed to think about whether they should fight with the angels or not, because the other party took the initiative to call the door!
No one will choose to give in under the sword and wait for death, since the other party has come, we have no choice but to fight back! As for what to do if you injure or even kill an angel········· Let's wait until we're done with this kind of thing!
For a while, those mercenaries had no choice but to rush forward.
But soon they found out that they and the other party were not enemies of the same grade at all.
Although it was Rhodes who fought the enemy first, it was Anne who broke out first. After hearing Rod's order, Anne rushed forward with an arrow, and then flung the shield in her hand forward, and the huge and heavy pure gold shield flew forward, spinning and rushing towards the mercenaries.
In the face of this huge shield smashed head-on, the mercenaries were certainly not stupid enough to block directly, and they dodged one after another, trying to dodge Annie's attack.
But it's a pity that the Hall of Mysteries is not big enough to allow dozens of people to move flexibly, originally these mercenaries were very close to each other, but now this movement is a little chaotic, some forward, some backward, and some people raise their weapons in a panic, trying in vain to block this thunderous bombardment.
The heavy pure gold shield smashed into a mercenary without any pause, and the long sword in his hand was completely unable to block it, like a fragile toothpick, it was easily broken into two pieces, and then the heavy metal shield smashed deeply into his body, and the sharp blade that flashed out of the gap mercilessly tore apart the mercenary's flesh, bringing blood and misery
"Woo-aaa
The terrible screams rang out, making many people feel a chill in their backs, but this was only the beginning, as Anne pulled the chain in her hand hard, the shield and the mercenary embedded on it immediately turned into a huge flesh and blood war hammer, sweeping towards the periphery. …,
Silver flashes.
The long sword burning with divine flames easily blocked the mercenary's attack, and looking at the pale and trembling young swordsman in front of her, Celia raised her eyebrows. Although the angel girl was a little dismissive of Rod's behavior in her heart, and it was not in line with the nature of angels to oppress the weak, Celia was not a real angel in the first place, but an existence after the elvenization of weapons, and her essence was still a weapon - and the meaning of the existence of weapons was to fight.
The girl swung her long sword without the slightest hesitation, and it instantly pierced the young swordsman's chest, and with her action, silver-white flames erupted from it, spreading to both sides, forcing those mercenaries who tried to attack her at close range to retreat in embarrassment under this fierce flame, and the dazzling sword light also burst out in this flame.
"Wooh!!"
The sharp spear pierced the mercenary's chest mercilessly, pinning him firmly to the wall, and the centaur knight paid no attention to the poor man who was struggling in pain, instinctively trying to resist and escape from his grasp, instead, he lowered his head and swung his left hand hard to the side. A heavy muffled sound was heard, and two figures flew out of the crowd, slammed into the wall, and then there was no more sound.
"This monster!!"
A mercenary shouted and raised his battle axe, and took advantage of the moment when the opponent's middle door was wide open, and slashed down on the body of the centaur knight with great force, and the giant axe slashed into the body of the centaur knight without hindrance, but it was not able to inflict any further damage on it.
On the contrary, just before the giant axe slashed into the centaur knight's body, a translucent, pale blue hexagonal barrier flickered in front of it, and the passive talent "Spiritual Armor" activated by Rhodes came into play at this moment, forming a protective shield that counteracted the opponent's strength. As a result, the mercenary's attack did not bring the desired effect, but instead caused him to embark on a tragic journey to the end of the world ahead of schedule.
The centaur knight, who sensed the great axe warrior, swung his right hand and tossed the body pierced by the spear aside, then it grabbed the weapon in the opponent's hand with its left hand, and then smashed it down with all its might, and the poor mercenary only felt a powerful force pressing down from above, and he was smashed to the ground before he could react. And just as he looked up in a daze, trying to see what was happening, all he saw was a pair of pitch-black hooves.
"Poof."
With this soft sound, the poor man's head was easily trampled to pieces by the centaur knight like a watermelon.
And this also made the other mercenaries around him take a few steps back.
Unlike Celia, the Centaur Knight, who came from the Abyss Legion, had no mercy for his foe, and he turned his head to see a red glow through the gaps in his heavy helmet——— and then the Centaur Knight turned into a whirlwind and pounced on the discouraged foes.
This is no longer a battle, but a one-sided slaughter.
