Chapter 478: Storm (6)
"Forward—kill them, crush them!!"
The knight held his great axe in both hands, and tore his throat to give orders to his soldiers.
The raindrops continued to fall on the silver-gray all-steel armor, and the knight jumped up and jumped into the stagnant water that reached his calves, and suddenly the water splashed, and he held a two-handed giant axe with his left leg as the support, and spun in place three and a half times in place!
"Ah!!h
The sharp blade of the axe sliced through the bodies of the small water elementals around them, causing them to turn back into a puddle of water, falling into the water beneath their feet.
The Great Axe Knight stopped gasping for breath as another knight in full-body armor passed him and shouted at the same time, "Forward, forward!"
Just a little rest!
The corners of the Greataxe Knight's mouth curled, revealing a hideous smile under his visor, and roaring angrily: "Roar!!"
The city guards and regular troops of Liujin Harbor stepped into battle at the same time, while the people living in the slums rushed open the gates and fled their homes with difficult steps.
The family no longer gives them warmth, this place has become a battlefield, the water is almost up to their calves, the turbulent water is constantly flowing towards the sea, the heavy rain still does not stop, the raindrops hit the skin, and it hurts!
Fear was written on the faces of these poor people who had been struggling to survive, and they were walking in fear towards other cities, while soldiers were pouring into this city, and two torrents met in the narrow and dark roads, and then passed by.
"Humph!"
Looking at the poor people who had fled to other cities, the Greataxe Knight snorted coldly, raised his steps and continued to move forward.
He carried his giant axe on his shoulder, and his figure standing in the torrential rain was like a majestic mountain - he was a soldier of Liujin Harbor, even if he looked down on these poor people, he would protect them at such a time, and the soldier's mission was to live for it, and die for it!
The soldiers had surrounded the slums, and Fran stood on the main road leading to the port in the lower town, the hem of his rain cloak submerged in water, and he let the rain pour down his collar, but he did not move.
Because he had gained weight, he could no longer wear the armor he once had, but he still wore a piece of chain mail and a long sword at his waist, and stood tall in the wind and rain with the sergeant.
The wind and rain could not crush him, and until now, he still considers himself a soldier!
Even if he will be bribed and be a money-hungry villain, he is still a soldier in his bones, and he thinks he is still a soldier-
So, here he stands!
Fran ordered the shield guards to stay with him around the slums, as they were not suitable for street fighting, especially outside the main roads of the lower city, where the alleys were too narrow for the shield guards to use.
Rather than letting them go in and die in vain, it is better to let them stay around and not let go of any of the water elemental lifeforms.
He did not do it because the Governor was watching from behind, but because he was the sheriff of the city.
Looking ahead, a cold light flashed in Furlan's eyes, and he pulled out the long sword at his waist and slashed a small water elemental core that appeared in front of him in half with a single blow.
Even if he is old and neglects to exercise, he was once the 'Red Hand Fran' who killed the pirates on their backs at sea!
Click......
Suddenly there was a sound of footsteps behind him, and Fran and the soldiers beside him looked back vigilantly, and then fell to the spot.
A robed mage with a staff in his hand stepped on stagnant water, and there seemed to be an invisible wall above his head, and all the rain that fell on it bounced off in all directions.
The mage's eyes glowed with blue light, and he introduced himself in a calm tone: "Hello police officer from Liujin Harbor, I am the court mage from Norman, Yegor. ”
Fran blinked and reacted: "Mr. Yegor, hello ......"
He looked up and down at Mr. Yegor, who claimed to be the 'court mage', and this Mr. Yegor was almost covered with all kinds of ornaments, and just looking at them made Fran feel a toothache - for they all seemed to be made of silver, and some of them were encrusted with precious stones, and he knew that they were expensive.
"I need to go in. ”
Yegor's gaze crossed Fran's shoulder, looked at the slums, and said in a dry tone, "There's a leyline node there, and I need your protection. ”
Hearing this, Fran and the soldiers beside him were stunned again, but the police officer reacted the next moment and frowned, while the other soldiers looked at Yegor with a madman's eyes, and the words he said were simply ridiculous to them!
The soldiers didn't know what they were going to have next, so they scoffed at the 'lies' of the mage in front of them.
How could a court mage be here at such a time?And what kind of 'leyline nodes' and ask them to provide protection? It's ridiculous—
"Yes!"
The soldiers turned their heads in astonishment, and their commander looked grim and did not look like a fake.
"Is the police officer serious?" a ridiculous guess appeared in the minds of the soldiers, but it was this guess that was closest to reality.
Fran looked at the silent mage and said seriously, "I'll take you personally!"
The commander's words shocked the soldiers even more, could it be that this mage is really a court mage, could it be ...... Is there really a problem in Liujin Harbor that needs to be solved by a court mage?
“...... Thank you. Yegor nodded in thanks.
The police officer in Liujin Harbor nodded, turned to his men and ordered, "You guys stay here, don't let go of any water elemental life. ”
Then Fran escorted Yegor into the slums, and the cold water poured into his worn riding boots, a feeling that he had not felt for a long time, and Fran couldn't help but shiver.
The police officer glanced back, and after he saw the mage floating quietly behind him, he never looked back.
He was alert to danger that might arise from all directions, and from time to time a few paupers would pass by them, but when the paupers saw the mage floating on the water, they buried their heads lower and walked past them faster.
Along the way, Fran also encountered many army soldiers and city guards, but instead of letting them join the team to protect Yegor, Fran let them continue to move forward and encircle the water elemental beings and monsters that had come ashore - the port is the front line of the battlefield, where there are not only a dense number of water elemental life, but also more powerful and treacherous monsters, where support is very needed!
Fran was vigilant all the way, but they didn't encounter any danger along the way, the danger had been solved by the soldiers in advance, and they didn't encounter any danger, but ......
"It's here. The taciturn Yegor reminded Fran.
Fran took a deep breath, even with his current weight, constantly being pulled by the strong wind, there was a danger of falling, and the next time was the time to test his ability.
Even though he is not a mage, but living in the Kurkut Empire, known as the 'Magic Empire', and a police officer in a port city, he knows very well what the 'leylines' are.
The leylines once represented the Mage Tower, representing a huge amount of energy, if you want to fight against the 'Poseidon's Wrath', it is impossible to rely on this court mage alone, and every time you fight against the 'Poseidon's Wrath', you need to mobilize the power of the entire city!
It is very likely that the chief of Ruerno is in this city, and once this mage activates the 'leyline node', then the group of brainless monsters and water elemental beings will rush to this side after feeling the temptation of the huge amount of magic, and at that time, it is the most dangerous.
It's all for the city, though......
"Mr. Yegor, you start!"
Fran nodded to the mage, and then, with his head raised, he yelled at the painful raindrops that had hit him in the face—
"Rally !!"
