Chapter 167

The location of the competition is at the foot of the city wall in the west of the town.

In addition to Roland, the spectators also included Iron Axe, Tigu, Brian, and all members of the Witch Union.

Plus a fat pigeon squatting on the watchtower.

In order to avoid accidental bullets, everyone must stand on the city wall and watch. The two chief knights, Carter Lannis and the extraordinary witch Ashes, will compete one-on-one within a relatively short distance from the city wall.

Carter's attire was not the usual knight armor, but replaced it with a close-fitting leather jacket for easy movement. There was a specially-made holster belt around his waist, and a revolver was inserted on the left and right sides. There is also a short knife horizontally placed on the back waist, which can be used temporarily for emergency. But Roland knew that if it came down to using a dagger to fight a transcendent, it would be better to just admit defeat.

Ashes was still dressed in the usual way, a black robe covered her body, her long black hair was tied into a ponytail, hanging down her back naturally, as if she didn't care that it would create unnecessary weaknesses for herself. The only difference is that the big sword, the wrapped cloth strips have been uncovered, and the dark brown blade has almost no light. As Roland expected, the surface of this sword is uneven, it does not look like a well-crafted weapon, and due to lack of maintenance, rust spots have appeared on the part where the gap was cut.

The two walked into the field, and Carter kept adjusting his position until he was more than fifteen meters away from the opponent. He was more than 80% sure of the fixed target at this distance, took out two pistols, and checked the bullets and flint ports for the last time.

Roland asked Echo to imitate and amplify his own voice, "The rules of the competition are very simple: click until the end, you are not allowed to start, and you can admit defeat! As long as you don't die on the spot, Nana's healing ability can quickly restore you to your original state. Are you still here?" Question?" He waited for a while, and seeing that the two had no objection, he continued, "After the bell rings, the competition begins!"

Ashes looked at her opponent silently. As an extraordinary person, she followed her instincts to fight most of the time. After following Tilly, she also learned fighting skills from the sword masters in the court, but she always felt that these skills were of great importance. Help yourself very little. The other party was the chief knight beside the prince, but he didn't carry the usual sword shield or spear, and he didn't even wear any armor. The weapon in his hand was extremely weird, but according to its shape, it obviously couldn't be regarded as a close-up weapon like a dagger, so there was only one possibility left. It should be similar to a hand crossbow, a long-range strike weapon.

Bows and crossbows pose no threat to supernatural beings. This is the experience Ashes has summed up in many battles. If it is a light crossbow, she can even catch the flying crossbow with her bare hands. But judging by the prince's swearing appearance, the weapon in the other party's hands will never be as simple as a bow and crossbow.

Her instinct was telling her that she must get close to the knight as soon as possible, instead of waiting for the opponent to attack first. Therefore, before the start of the competition, Ashes inserted the front of the long sword into the ground. This posture seemed harmless, but it was the most effective way to deal with crossbowmen.

At this moment, a crisp bell rang from the city wall.

Ashes made a move almost at the same time. She held the hilt of the sword with both hands, and threw it forward violently. The dirt, grass roots and gravel rose into the air along with the wide sword body, and splashed in the direction of the knight, forming a cloud of sand and smoke .

The chief knight's reaction was also very quick. The weapon in his hand burst into flames and made a huge roar, but Ashes didn't see anything. Either the opponent didn't have an arrow installed, or the arrow was too fast for him to notice. She leaned more towards the latter than the first, almost stupid mistake.

Under the cover of the silt and smoke screen, Ashes sprinted from the side, and the distance between the two was shortened to half in the blink of an eye. Most people will subconsciously avoid the overwhelming mud, as long as they can interrupt the opponent's continuous shooting, she will win most of the battle.

But Carter didn't move his position, completely ignored the sand that hit his face, squinted his eyes and pointed the weapon at the approaching transcendent, pulled the trigger again, and accompanied by the flash of flames, Ashes took a step to the outside like a conditioned reflex , still did not see the thrown arrows, and at the same time, the knight did not make any preparations such as pulling the string and launching the arrow.

This new type of weapon can probably be fired continuously, but if two shots are missed in a row, the victory is already divided!

The last ten steps were also in the blink of an eye. She raised the long sword in front of her body, kicked her feet on the ground, and slammed into the knight like a bull. This impact would not kill him instantly, but it was enough to make him faint. Even if he survived with a strong will, the shattered bones in his chest would make him completely incapable of fighting. During this last breath, the opponent's third attack exploded in front of Ashes' eyes. She only felt a sharp shock from her sword, and there was a clear buzzing, and then her right abdomen went numb, as if she had been severely scratched by something. Bundle.

Almost at the same time, her whole body hit Carter's chest, knocking him flying, drawing an arc in the air, and rolling to the ground.

Only then did she have the time to check the injury on her waist. But as soon as she lowered her head, a strong sense of dizziness flooded her brain. She staggered twice and almost fell to the ground. The power brought by the extraordinary magic power seemed to disappear like running water, and her limbs became extremely heavy.

Ashes supported her body with the long sword, the numbness of the wound had turned into a burning pain, her waist seemed to be missing a part, and she could even see her bright red internal organs. Only by clenching your teeth can you not let yourself fall down.

...

In Roland's eyes, the entire competition process took only four or five seconds. He saw the extraordinary witch charge Carter from the other side while picking up dirt debris, changing direction once in the middle, and then slammed into the knight. It was beyond Roland's expectation that Carter fired a total of three bullets before being knocked into the air.

Facing Ashes who was extremely fast, he might find it difficult to even keep an eye on the opponent's figure, but he can still aim and shoot, which has fully proved that the title of chief knight is not in vain. The misses of the first two rounds were perfectly normal. In fact, if Ashes changed direction a few more times at this speed, Carter might not be able to hit the opponent with a single shot. The key lies in the third shot. Within the last five or six meters, Ashes blocked the big sword from a straight impact on his chest.

If it was a crossbow, even if it was a heavy crossbow, it would at most be nailed into a long sword at this time, and it would have no effect on the extraordinary. But the 12mm caliber ammunition plus the steel warhead exploded with unparalleled power at this distance. At that time, Roland only saw black debris splashing, and a cloud of blood clouded Ashes' side. When she stood still, the prince realized that half of the opponent's waist was lifted off, as if being bitten by an evil beast, and the intestines slipped out and hung by his side. There was a bowl-shaped gap in the lower part of the big sword, probably because the bullet hit the iron sword and passed through it. The unstable bullet and the falling iron filings spun into her flank, opening a huge hole. wound.

Even though she was seriously injured, she still didn't faint, but insisted on standing on the field. The physique of the extraordinary witch was indeed frighteningly high. If it was the lead bullets or small-caliber bullets from before, she might be able to eat them with her body. Maggie rushed to Huihui's side immediately, wanting to support her, but unfortunately because of her short stature, she could only hug her legs with an anxious expression on her face.

Nana had already rushed to treat Carter, and Roland also walked quickly to Ashes who was holding on.

It was this moment that she seemed to be waiting for.

"I won..." After finishing speaking, Ashes fell directly on Roland's shoulders before he could react. (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to come to Qidian to vote, your support is my biggest motivation. Mobile phone users, please go to read.)
