Chapter 88 Winter Twilight (Part 2)
"Don't be so anxious, it hasn't come here yet." Roland looked at the lightning that was eager to try, and sighed.
God knows that she would be so interested in challenging evil beasts. She is obviously not the type suitable for fighting, but she doesn't have the fear that ordinary people should have when facing evil beasts. "Follow the method we used to deal with the first one before. Don't be brave. You are just luring the evil beast and focusing its attention on you. Be careful to keep the height! Although it can't fly, it is quite threatening when it jumps up!"
"I know, I know," Lightning said confidently, "I figured out its details when the first one came over, don't worry, it won't even touch the corner of my clothes."
While speaking, the hybrid evil beast had already approached the city wall, crossed an obstacle zone, jumped towards the unguarded section, and climbed onto the top of the wall. But this time, none of the militia members paid any attention to them, and they remained in their own defensive section, waiting for the next stabbing order from the Orion observers.
"Then, start the special operations against the hybrid beasts now!" Roland said in a deep voice.
The lightning that had already flown out stopped again and looked back at Roland.
"What's wrong?"
"Your words..." Lightning thought for a while, then shook his head, "It's a bit strange. Forget it, I'm leaving."
Looking at the little girl's figure going away quickly, Roland smiled awkwardly, and asked Anna and Nightingale behind him, "Do you also find it strange?"
"Yeah." Both of them nodded in unison.
Well... It seems that the lines of the second class are still the second class even if they are placed in another world, "Then you all go too, pay attention to safety."
"Your Highness, too," Nightingale bowed, then took Anna's hand and entered the mist.
Roland stood facing the wind with his hands behind his back, trying his best to look like a big boss. He knew that many people would secretly look back at him during the respite of the battle, so despite his numb feet, he still stood at the highest point of the city wall, so that everyone could see—the prince was with them at all times. Since he can't fight in person, he can at least inspire people in this way.
This evil beast attack has surpassed the strength of any previous attack. According to Iron Axe, in previous years, there would only be one or two hybrid beasts in the entire month of demons, but counting the current one, Border Town has encountered four hybrid demon beasts this year. The duration was also extremely long, and the evil beasts kept appearing from the Hidden Forest, and ran towards the city wall in groups of dozens.
Fortunately, the production of flintlock guns has increased significantly in the past month, and now the 100-man musketeer team has been armed, otherwise such an efficient killing speed cannot be guaranteed. If it is a bow and crossbow, I am afraid that it will be difficult to wind it now. In protracted battles, the advantage of muskets consuming less energy will become more apparent. Of course, the sharp increase in gunpowder consumption was enough to cause Roland a headache. He was already considering dismantling all the more than twenty packs of explosives in the warehouse, and getting back the gunpowder for use by the Musketeers.
On the other side, lightning had already flown over the head of the hybrid evil beast. She took out a stone from her pocket and threw it at the evil beast. The stone landed on the opponent's head accurately, and the sudden blow made it retreat violently, only to realize that the attack came from the air.
Lightning lowered its altitude provocatively, passed in front of it, and flew close to the center of the town. Although the hybrid evil beast had a certain ability to think, the little girl in front of him was obviously judged not to be a threat. It immediately swooped up, spread its wings, and glides for nearly a hundred meters within a few jumps. Lightning immediately pulled himself up, turned around in the air, bypassed several bungalows, and turned into another street.
In this way, she lured the enemy to the central square of the town, which was also the agreed attack location between her and Nightingale. Because the lion-headed and double-winged hybrid has a very sensitive sense of smell, even the nightingale in the mist can be found, so before the nightingale and Anna attack, I must try my best to attract the attention of the evil beast.
And Lightning did it perfectly. The hybrid species is obviously furious now, and its increasingly manic animal nature conceals its lack of rationality. The evil beast was nimble, and she teased him up and down, making it fail every time he jumped up.
Nightingale had also arrived at the square from another direction—unlike Lightning, after entering the mist, she completely ignored the houses and fences on the road and proceeded in a straight line. The distance of Anna's flame is only ten steps (5 meters), and it must be approached from behind the tail to reduce the possibility of being discovered by evil beasts.
There were a lot of mistakes when dealing with the first hybrid, but at this moment Nightingale was completely familiar with Anna's attack method. When she was thirty steps away from the evil beast, she increased her speed to the limit, and the ground instantly seemed like It was shortened by about half, and the remaining distance was covered in almost one step. When Anna came back to her senses, the monster's tail was almost touching her face.
"Now!" cried Nightingale.
The black and white world around Anna faded like a tide, and in the blink of an eye, she returned to the familiar town square. The green fire quietly appeared at the fingertips, and then expanded into a huge flame cage, enveloping the evil beast in it.
Nightingale backed away quickly, and the scorching heat wave that hit her face already made her feel burning pain.
In the high temperature that could melt steel, the evil beast turned into a ball of fire before it even had time to struggle, and crashed to the ground.
"It seems that they have already solved it," Wendy, who was acting as a temporary guard instead of Nightingale, curled her lips when she saw the green flame rising in the distance, "It seems that I am the only one who has no effect..."
"If possible, I hope you don't have to go to the battlefield," Roland said, still standing with his hands behind his back, pretending to be relaxed. Having said that, he knew in his heart that if there were no witches to join the defense line to assist in the battle today, the militia would inevitably be in chaos in the face of the hybrid evil beasts that could leap over the city walls.
Even Nana had already arrived under the city wall, and under the protection of Baron Tigu, quickly healed those soldiers who were accidentally injured. This was the first time Roland revealed the witch's power in front of all the militia members, and he was very pleased with the result. Nana, known as the Healing Angel in the team, obviously raised the prestige of the witch group to a new level. After Anna and Nightingale killed the first hybrid on the city wall, the crowd cheered for a while.
Of course, he knew that it was impossible for everyone to not mind this, such a situation was already very rare. After the militia has a preliminary consensus, his next plan will be much easier to implement.
Suddenly, the gunshots on the city wall faded away, and Roland noticed that the evil beasts began to retreat from the city wall. They retreated? He couldn't believe his eyes. At this moment, a ray of light in the sky passed through the thick clouds and fell to the ground, followed by the second, and the third... Soon, the gray sky was riddled with thousands of rays of light. All the lights merge into each other and become dazzling and unpredictable. The earth suddenly brightened.
"The day the sun rises again is the end of the evil moon."
There was a brief lull on the walls, and then a wave of cheers swept across the border defenses. Gradually, the townspeople also came out of the house one after another, shouting along with them. Cheer for this long-lost sunshine, for myself to spend the winter safely, and for their prince. All the voices finally converged into a torrent, resounding through the entire border town!
