Chapter 417: The Battle Before Dawn
Although his weapon was entangled in Celestina's thorny whip, the vulture did not panic at all, on the contrary, Celia's appearance gave the death knight a hint of foreboding. As Rhodes said, no matter what, this is the Duchy of Moon, under the sky of the dragon soul of light, although he doesn't know how an angel appeared here, but this is definitely not a good sign, although the level of this battle angel is not high, but it is still more than enough to deal with his subordinates.
Is it to go? Or stay?
The vulture made a decision in an instant, he swung the scimitar in his hand vigorously, and with this action, the pale flames on the scimitar immediately erupted, burning the thorny whip wrapped around it, and at the same time the vulture whistled, and the void in his hand made a gesture, and soon, with the sound of horses' hooves, dozens of skeleton cavalry leaped down the hillside, they raised their weapons high and attacked in the direction of the carriage and Natasha. And he himself suddenly pulled back at this moment, and then the scimitar in his hand slashed down from the air, flying back the long whip that had been thrown from the side again. 、
"Bold pariah!!"
Seeing that her attacks were blocked by the other party one after another, Celestina raised her eyebrows, she shouted angrily, and the whole person rushed forward directly, and the thorny whip in her hand swung like a whirlwind around the girl, tearing all the enemies who tried to approach her to pieces. And just as Celestina was about to reach the vulture's attack range, the girl suddenly stopped, and then with a flick of the whip in her hand, an undead soldier was quickly swept up by her and smashed towards the vulture. Then. The girl gracefully swung her right hand forward, and soon, the long black whip followed closely behind the undead soldier like a poisonous snake, shooting at the enemy.
Who is this woman?
Face the scene in front of you. The vulture was also secretly surprised, although Celestina's strength was not very strong, but with this hand alone, the vulture immediately realized that this girl's combat experience could be said to be extremely rich, in such a chaotic battlefield. She sensed her attack range almost instantly, and stopped outside his attack range very cleverly, don't look at this step as inconspicuous, but being able to master the opponent's combat skills so quickly in such a short period of time, this is definitely not something that anyone can do.
Thinking of this, the vulture couldn't help but pay more and more attention to this girl in a gorgeous dress. He slashed through the undead soldiers flying towards him, and then the scimitar in his hand rolled up a whirlwind and swung straight forward. However, at this time, the vulture found that the other party's long whip had suddenly disappeared!
But soon. A faint sound of wind suddenly emerged from behind the Death Knight.
Hum!!
The Death Knight immediately understood what was going on, but he didn't retreat from his sword, instead, the vulture kept moving, and even the knife rushed forward, and rushed straight towards Celestina with his head covered. I saw the Death Knight rushing straight towards him. A distinctly dismissive smile appeared on the girl's lips, and then Celestina did not retreat. On the contrary, she actually stretched out her left hand to lift the hem of her skirt, and the whole person greeted the roaring "chariot" head-on!
And at this time, the scimitar that swept the pale flames was already slashing head-on at Celestina.
The Death Knight's move was extremely fast, apparently premeditated. And this time, Selestina was never able to dodge it again. She raised her left hand, trying to fend off the blow. But the Death Knight's scimitar cut off her left hand without any hindrance, and then slashed straight into the girl's forehead, all the way down, and in the blink of an eye, it completely split Selestina in two.
"Huh?"
But the vulture who had struck the blow was slightly stunned, and he could feel that there was almost no resistance at the beginning of the scimitar, as if he had cut a piece of cream. And at this moment, as if to prove the vulture's conjecture, the body of the girl who had been split in two fell backwards to the ground, and then immediately turned into a thick black fog and spread across the battlefield. Then, in the thick mist, several black shadows suddenly flashed.
"Whew!!"
Countless thorn whips flew out of the mist, as if they were tentacles wrapped around everyone shrouded in mist, vultures were naturally no exception, although his reaction was fast, but this time the other party's speed was obviously faster, and the thorny whips full of sharp thorns wrapped around the limbs of the death knight in the blink of an eye, not only that, but at the same time as they wrapped around the vulture, this death knight also found that his armor actually began to emit a faint burst of green smoke.
Corrosive properties?
This discovery surprised the vulture, and at this moment, a red light flashed in front of his eyes.
Rhodes, who had been lurking, finally attacked.
The Killing Storm returns.
The overwhelming red light surrounded the vultures like spider webs, and the flickering sword quickly broke through the vultures' defenses, and in the face of such an attack, the only thing the Death Knight could do was to swing his scimitar in anger and meet it.
The red storm suddenly stopped, and the violent storm that had enveloped the heavens and the earth reconverged, turning into a beam of light that pierced the vulture's chest.
"Drink!!"
If it was a living person, Rod's blow was enough to kill the other party, but the death knight was not a living person, and after all, the difference in strength between the two sides was too large, and the center that Rhodes was aiming at was still blocked by the opponent at the last moment, and because of this, Rod had no choice but to change the defense line and pierce the opponent's chest. Although this also caused damage to the other party, it was not a fatal injury for a death knight of the vulture's level. Soon, the fierce pale flames swooped down towards Rod's head and face, and in the face of the vulture's fierce counterattack, Rod could only quickly retreat and dodge the opponent's counterattack with a roll, but at this time, Rod did not forget to pull the long sword down. A long crack was torn open in the vulture's body——— although the pain was long gone for the dead, the influence of the semi-airy body on their movements was still there.
The vulture's scimitar slammed into the ground.
"Boom!!"
With a deafening roar, the ground in front of the Death Knight burst into flames. The hard surface shattered and tumbled, and in the midst of this, the flames mixed with the cold of death spread wildly all the way through the cracks, like a devouring poisonous snake, pressing towards Rhodes.
In the face of the vulture's counterattack, Rod naturally looked solemn. Of course, he knew how powerful this damn scimitar was, its flame was a pure negative energy flame, and if a living person touched it, he would lose a layer of skin if he didn't die, and if he was unlucky, it was possible to die if he didn't resist well, so he didn't have the slightest intention of fighting, on the contrary, he stared at this vigorous pale fire. Rhodes immediately pressed his hands to the ground, and the whole person rolled backwards, fleeing quickly before the flames engulfed him, and disappeared into the fog in the blink of an eye.
"Humph!"
Looking at Rhodes who had disappeared without a trace. The vulture snorted coldly, and at this moment the black mist was slowly dissipating, and the death knight did not immediately chase after Rhodes who fled, instead, he lowered his head and stared at his torn chest. There, beneath the rotten lumps of flesh, green. The pungent smell of blood was slowly flowing, and after a few moments, they were healing again, and it was only then that the vulture raised its head again and looked at the sky. He chose a raid that was launched in the darkest hour before dawn. I thought that I could destroy the enemy in the shortest possible time, but now it looks. Time doesn't seem to be running out.
I wonder what the situation is on the other side of the road?
The sound of horses' hooves galloped by.
For the first time, Grundy felt terrified as he gazed at the thirty skeletal cavalrymen who had appeared on the hillside, brandishing their weapons and charging at him. The charge of the undead army is not as passionate and brave as that of the living, but it has an alternative threat——— that is, like a cold and shining blade, mercilessly and emotionlessly cutting at its prey, and in front of it, no matter how much it struggles, it is in vain. But even so, Grundi gritted his teeth and raised his sword, like a true warrior, no matter what difficulties he faced, he should move forward bravely!
But just then, a hand reached out from behind and grabbed Grandi's collar.
"Don't make trouble, go later."
With Anne's shout, Grandi was thrown directly in front of the carriage by Anne, and when the poor fellow touched the back of his head and looked up in a daze, what he saw was Anne's slender and tall figure——— she stood bravely in front of her with her shield in both hands, and at this moment, the skeletal cavalry rushing down the hillside had already come to her side.
The weapon that shimmered with cold light slashed at Anne mercilessly.
"Get out of here!"
Anne shouted at the onslaught of the cavalry, and then, with both hands, she clenched the heavy gold shield in her hand as if she were holding a huge hammer, and pressed forward with force.
"Boom !!"
The adamantite heavy shield smashed heavily on the horse of the first skeleton cavalry, and the piercing and low collision sound mixed with the huge impact force formed a powerful air flow that was difficult to resist in an instant, and Grundy only felt a flower in front of him, and then he saw that the cavalry was actually smashed upside down by Anne and flew out of the air, and even brought it to the four or five cavalry behind, after all, the cavalry's charging formation is relatively dense, and their speed is not slow, it is almost impossible to stop at this time, So for a time there were people everywhere on their backs, and the first column was almost completely wiped out in front of Anne.
"The Holy Soul is on ..............."
Grundy stared blankly at the slender and slender figure, how could he not believe his eyes, he had been in the security cavalry team of Eagle City for a long time, and naturally knew that once the cavalry charged, the power was not ordinary, let alone a head-on confrontation, it was not easy for ordinary people to be able to block it. But he didn't expect that just now, in front of him, he actually saw such a girl smash back a cavalry charge! And her body didn't even shake a little?
How is this possible?
Grundy's eyes widened in surprise, completely unsure of what to say. And Natasha, who was not far away next to him, was already scared stupid, and she didn't expect it. The girl who fell asleep beside her as soon as she got in the car and didn't seem to have anything special would have such strength.
But that's just the beginning.
The greatest threat to the cavalry of the Undead Legion is that they are not affected by the outside world, whether they are men or horses. Replaced by an ordinary cavalry charge, Anne was enough to mess up all the cavalry behind her. Even if the cavalry were able to hold their nerves, it did not mean that their mounts would remain calm in the face of these. Animals are animals after all, but unlike the Undead Legion, their mounts are no longer animals. It's just a simple tool.
Tools are emotionless.
Because of this, the chaos caused by Anne lasted only a short time, and soon the cavalry behind had already broken through the chaos in front of them, and they did not even go to their companions lying in front of them, but drove their mounts without emotion, and let them step on their companions. Keep moving forward.
It wasn't long before another cavalryman sped out of the smoke, and at this moment, Anne had already blocked the Adamantite Heavy Shield in front of her, her fingers moving slightly. Soon, under the heavy shield, a triangular cone roared out of it, and nailed to the ground with a thud.
Then Anne and the galloping cavalry collided head-on.
"Bell!!"
With a screeching clash, the horse's hooves trampled on the front of Anne's Adamantite shield. The strength and weight of the man and the horse charging forward still did not shake the girl's body in the slightest, on the contrary, at this time. Grandi and Natasha saw Anne straighten up once more, stretching out her hands——— and just as their eyelids were lowered, the horseman, whose first two hooves had been trampled on his shield, was lifted up, and then whistled into the air again............ How strong is this girl!
But the threat doesn't just come from these cavalry.
On the other side, many undead soldiers couldn't bargain in front of Celia. Also on the orders of his own commander, outflanked from the rear. Try to cooperate with your own cavalry team and take down the prey in front of you in one fell swoop. But when the necromantic soldiers approached their target, a fox-eared girl grinned and blocked their path.
"I'm sorry, it's not going to work."
Looking at the black and oppressive undead soldiers in front of her, Qilian did not have the slightest nervous expression, she still said to these undead soldiers with a soft and playful smile. But of course, these undead soldiers would not stop their steps because of a few words of Qilian, on the contrary, they raised the bows and crossbows and swords in their hands, and walked towards Qilian step by step.
"Be careful, Miss Seven Love!"
Grundy and Natasha, who had just withdrawn their gaze from Annie's side, also discovered the danger on the other side at this moment, and when they saw that Qilian was defenseless and met them so straight, they couldn't help but worry——— no matter what, Annie still had a shield in her hand, but this young lady didn't have anything in her hand, didn't she go forward to find death?
And hearing the call of the two, Qilian even had the leisure to turn his head and wave at them.
"Don't worry, you two, these little shrimps are nothing ............... to me"
Before the words of Seven Love were finished, an arrow shot through her ear so quickly, and then slammed into the carriage door beside Natasha, the frightened eldest lady couldn't help screaming, and at this moment Seven Love's face sank, she looked at a few pink broken hair floating in the night sky, her eyes flashed a trace of red, dazzling brilliance, and then, the girl turned her head.
"I wanted you to live a little longer, but it's a pity..............."
Speaking of this, Qilian stretched out her right hand and snapped her fingers gently.
Soon, an overwhelming fireball enveloped the entire World Realm.
What's that?
Just after recovering his body, he looked at the fiery red sky not far away, and the vulture's eyes widened in surprise. And next, he saw that the undead soldiers he sent out completely collapsed under the violent rain of fire, and the undead creatures were not afraid of anything else, but were afraid of holy power and flames, and now so many small fireballs like a storm smashed down on their heads and faces. In an instant, the undead soldiers were disintegrated. The relentless flames burst into flames, engulfing the undead soldiers into them like roaring waves, turning them to ashes. And on the other side——— damn it, the group of cavalry had already crawled on the ground and turned into a pile of debris!
This time the vulture didn't hesitate again. The strength of the other party is obviously stronger than he imagined, it seems that this mission is a failure, thinking of this, the vulture no longer has any intention of continuing to fight, he quickly put away his weapon. Retreating and trying to withdraw from the battlefield.
The thick black mist suddenly dispersed.
The angel with pure white wings held the sword in both hands, and the sword turned into a dazzling white light, stabbing straight at the death knight in front of him. In the face of the attack of the war angel in front of him, the vulture quickly swung the scimitar in his hand and blocked it in front of him——— but at this moment, the thorny whip suddenly whistled by his side again, and wrapped around the vulture's scimitar.
"You're ............!!"
The vulture turned its head angrily. But the next moment, for the first time, the Death Knight's eyes were full of surprise——— in the night sky, a girl in a black dress was hovering there, behind her, pitch black. The bat-like wings are clearly visible.
Devil?
Even if it is an undead creature, the vulture's brain is in chaos at this moment, and it can't figure out whether it is alive or dead, why is it that on this battlefield, there will be demons and angels joining forces to attack.
But she couldn't figure it out and didn't have time to think about it, and she retreated as Selestina pulled away. The scimitar in the vulture's hand was also immediately opened, and for a moment the Death Knight opened the empty door, and he was about to be pierced through his body by the holy sword in Celia's hand again——— but it was different from Rhodes' previous attack. If it is touched by this sacred flame, then even the mighty death knight will have only one way to die.
But it was at this moment that the vulture finally showed his strong side as a death knight, and he stretched out his left hand and lifted it against his scimitar. Forced back the scimitar that Celestina had originally pulled out, and was able to withstand Celia's attack. The flames of holiness and death collided and clashed, flickering in the exchange of weapons. Then, the vulture reached out his left hand and punched Celia in the chest.
No matter how the attributes are compatible, Celia's strength is still too much worse than that of the vulture, and after this punch, the battle angel immediately screamed and flew away. At this moment, the vulture did not have the slightest intention of sparing, and after flying Celia, he grabbed the thorn whip and ripped Selestina out of the air.
Not good!
Feeling the huge pull from the long whip in her hand, Selestina was also taken aback, she hurriedly wanted to let go of her hands, but she was a step too slow, and her body was immediately pulled crooked by the Death Knight, although Selestina reacted quickly, and immediately flapped her wings and tried to leave. But at this moment, the vulture's scimitar was already flicking through the air.
The Howling of the Undead!!
With the swing of the Death Knight, the flames on the scimitar instantly transformed into three huge skulls, which opened their mouths and let out a dizzying screech and rushed towards Celestina. Unable to dodge, Selestina had no choice but to fold her wings and try to resist the onslaught, but in the end it was the impact of white flames that fell to the ground.
For a moment, the vultures seemed to have the upper hand, but when the red light flashed again, the appearance of Rhodes also marked that things were not so easy to end.
"Drink!!"
The connection was attacked by Rod, and the death knight at this moment had already noticed the young man's movements, and at the moment when Rod's long sword swung out, the scimitar in his hand had already swung down and slashed at the opponent's weapon. At the same time, the vulture's left hand swept over the back of the scimitar and swung its left hand at Rod.
"Boom !!"
Pale flames erupted from the vulture's palm, but it didn't hit his target, because just as the vulture was backhanding his spatula, Rhodes had already presciently dodged his attack, and instead brandished his sword and attacked again from the other side.
Again?
Faced with such a strange situation, the vulture also felt a little surprised, he could be sure that he and the other party were indeed meeting for the first time, but Rod's performance made him very puzzled, this young man seemed to be very familiar with his own fighting style, although with his strength, it was impossible to block his own frontal blow. But the young man seemed to be familiar with this too, constantly sneaking up and always being able to smartly dodge his attacks before he could fight back. This is definitely not the result of some fighting talent and intuition——— it can only show that the other party is quite familiar with his sword skills, so he can dodge his attacks.
Who is this young man?
Thinking of this, the vulture couldn't help but be a little curious, if earlier he just wanted to kill the obstacle in front of him that hindered his mission, then now, he wants to catch Rhodes more and take him back to take a good look at it, an existence that can follow angels and demons around him is indeed worth investigating.
And at this time, Rod once again deceived the vulture like a ghost, but this time, the vulture did not block his attack as before, on the contrary, his body retreated, and the movements in his hand eased slightly, this is the trick of the death knight, in any case, the difference in strength between the two sides is huge, he wants to lure Rod to make a move, and then capture the other party in one fell swoop.
Sure enough, in the face of this opportunity, Rhodes did not let go, and the moment the death knight's body shook and lost his balance, he immediately rushed forward, and the bright red sword in his hand roared and stabbed the vulture's eyes.
It's now!!
At the moment when Rod's sword was about to reach the Death Knight's eyes, the Death Knight, who had lost his balance, suddenly stabilized, and then the scimitar in his hand slammed into Rod's bright red sword. Receiving this heavy blow, the long sword in Rod's hand immediately flew into the sky, and his whole body completely lost his balance and fell backwards on his back.
It worked.
Looking at Rhodes, who was falling backwards, the vulture immediately reached out and tried to grab the other party and subdue him completely.
But just as he reached out to catch his prey, the vulture suddenly sensed that something was not right.
Instead of fear and panic on Rod's face facing his outstretched hand, a smug smile appeared on his face.
Immediately afterwards, the vulture saw him put one hand in his mouth and the other pointed at himself.
A sharp whistle also sounded at this time.
