Chapter 956 Ambush (4000 Words)
Remember for a second
The "Welcome Team" of the Longhuang Empire entered the Yangshao Royal Capital and received a grand welcome from King Robben XIX.
Although the Yangshao Kingdom is a well-known "mercenary kingdom" in the human world, its territory is not vast, and many countries border the Longhuang Empire. When Robben I founded the kingdom as a mercenary, he received strong support from the Longhuang Empire, so the Yangshao Kingdom has always existed as a vassal state similar to the Longhuang Empire.
Compared with the founders of his ancestors, the current Robben XIX has a big belly, a smile, and there is no shadow of a mercenary at all. He is a complete king. Facing the arrival of the third prince of the Longhuang Empire, Robben XIX did not dare to neglect, and held a welcoming ceremony with the highest reception standards.
Not only because of his highness's status as a prince, but also because "Arthur" is the lord of Jin Yao who controls magic games and rice wine, plus the title of one of the three great masters of human beings.
Such a big man is likely to be the king of the Longhuang Empire in the future, so he absolutely needs to have a good relationship.
Chen Rui politely declined Robben 19's kindness to hold a grand banquet for him, and only made a short stay before leaving and heading towards Garden City.
Before leaving, Chen Rui gave Ron 19 a few bottles of the best yellow dragon wine, plus a long-term yellow wine supply list, which made Ron 19 smile on his fat face.
The team's route is to go through Garton City to the Mirror City of Loya Kingdom, then through the portal of Mirror City to the Starlight Kingdom, and then from the Starlight Kingdom to the Emerald Forest.
The carriages are equipped with the most sophisticated mutant warhorses of the Longhuang Empire, with the best speed and endurance, and can see clearly even at night. It is far from what a civilian car can drive, and it can save a lot of travel.
Count it up. Chen Rui saved a lot of work because Magic Games had the "assistance" of the Church of Light. We set off earlier than planned, and there is still plenty of time on hand. It's not that he is in a hurry to go to the Lanyao Empire to get engaged, but he wants to go to the Jade Forest Sea and meet the two grandmasters again. As for what Feinoya said to give, he didn't really take it to heart.
These two are his true friends in the human world. When he met them, he had just reached the realm of a quasi-master of crafting. The two masters gave him selfless guidance and help. In the end, he succeeded in being promoted to Grandmaster, and thus defeated Saman and Ucarius in the life-and-death battle of the Demon Maker Masters. Now Chen Rui's crafting technique has faintly surpassed those of the two masters, and his combat power is far superior to the two, but no matter what his strength or crafting skills are, friends are friends.
Friendship does not change because of high or low.
The speeding carriage suddenly stopped, and the pause was so abrupt that even Chen Rui in the carriage space felt it. Immediately notify Lola and others, put away the space, and hear the sound of chaos and fighting outside the carriage.
"His Royal Highness, please don't leave the carriage!" The saint-level powerhouse Bedell said solemnly: "We were attacked by an unknown. General Proyo is directing the battle."
Chen Rui stretched out his head, just glanced at it, and had a panoramic view of the surrounding situation.
This is indented terrain. There are taller peaks on both sides, and there are huge logs on the ground in front and behind. It was burning, and the air was filled with the scorching hot breath after the magic circle was activated. The firelight reflected nearby corpses, both human and horse.
It seems that the enemy is using the terrain to launch an attack, blocking the way the convoy comes and goes. Judging from the power and layout of the magic circle, it is by no means an ordinary thief, but a premeditated ambush.
Under the command of Proyo, the knights restrained the horses, huddled into a circle, and protected the carriage in the middle.
In the darkness, there were countless air-breaking sounds whistling, faintly flickering light, which should be feather arrows with magic attached.
With the wand in Bader's hand, the arrows seemed to have hit the invisible shield, and they were cut off one after another and fell. The strange machine sounded, and in the sound of breaking through the air, there was another sharper whistling sound.
"Giant crossbow machine!" Bader's face changed. The giant crossbow machine is a kind of giant and complex ballista. It was originally used to deal with giant monsters such as dragons. It was quite time-consuming to reload, but its power and destructive power were extremely terrifying.
Although the giant crossbow machine is powerful, it is a dead thing after all. If it is alone, Bader has a way, but at present his duty is to protect the carriage, which means that it can only be hard-connected on the spot.
From hearing the sound of the giant crossbow machine to the time when the reaction was just a flash of lightning, Bedel had no time to make any more responses. The thick soil condensed into a shield, suspended in front.
Almost the next second, there was the sound of being penetrated by the earthen shield, followed by a crackling sound, the ground trembled, and almost all the earthen shields were shattered. Fortunately, there were only large cracks in the last two floors, barely resisting the "arrow", and many knights nearby were injured by the bursting force.
"Damn, it's a giant crossbow bolt with the strongest burst formation!" Another saint-level swordsman, Cardo, couldn't help but scolded, "Even in the army, giant crossbow machines are strictly prohibited ordnance that are strictly controlled. , where did these bastards get it!"
Proyo immediately ordered the knights to dismount, put the horses behind him, further narrowed the range of the circle, and waited.
Just now, Bader forcibly activated the power of the domain to block the blow. He didn't dare to neglect it. The magic wand waved again, the ground shook, and tall and hard thick walls rose in all directions, protecting the carriage like a city wall.
squeaks and shrill whistles
The whistle sounded again. This time there was more than one giant crossbow. The surrounding earth walls were penetrated several layers, and collapsed under the force of the explosion, but the innermost layers were not damaged.
Bader is proficient in earth magic, and his ability to adapt is also extremely fast. This earth wall technique, which condenses the power of the domain, is really the best way to defend against giant crossbows.
After a round of unsuccessful shooting, the sound of the giant crossbow machine stopped temporarily. After all, this kind of crossbow machine loading is the biggest weakness. However, ghostly figures began to appear behind the collapsed earth wall, rushing towards the carriage-after the shooting was unsuccessful, the enemy used melee combat.
The knights near the carriage are the elite of the Dragonscale Legion. There was no panic, and no rashness. Just waiting quietly for Captain Proyo's order.
The Phantoms were already quite close, Proyo gave an order. The swordsmen in the front row swung their long swords in unison, slashing out at an angle, cutting straight, horizontally, straight again, then horizontally... These swordsmen's strength is at least at the division level, and the rows of fierce winds Neatly intertwined, like a giant net, those phantoms turned into countless fragments before they approached their bodies.
Chen Rui could see it. These knights have a power similar to magical tattoos, and the combined formation can exert their own power several times over.
In particular, these well-trained, battle-hardened elites are well-founded in their advance and retreat, as if they are alone, even in the face of saint-level powerhouses, they still have the power to fight.
The formation of combined attack is the best method of warfare that humans are good at. In this regard, the demon world is much weaker, and sometimes it relies more on individual strength. Generally speaking, due to the relationship between lifespan and physical strength, the same level of power is compared. Demons are better than humans.
The elites of the Dragonscale Legion in front of him taught Chen Rui a lesson, and in the blink of an eye, it was like a meat grinder. Killed enemies that outnumbered you.
Bedell, who was around the carriage, raised his head suddenly, and saw countless spots of light appearing in the night sky. Those spots of light instantly enlarged a lot, and they turned out to be meteorites with fire.
"Meteor shower!" Bader exclaimed. Meteor Fire Shower is a powerful magic of the fire element. It is extremely lethal to fixed targets on the ground. There are hundreds of these meteorites. Even at this distance, you can feel the terrifying fire element fluctuations. It seems that the enemy There is a powerful fire magician.
The carriage could not move now. Like the previous giant crossbow, Bader could only pick it up hard. He raised his wand high, aimed it at the sky, and quickly chant a spell.
At this moment, a warning sign suddenly appeared in his heart, and he saw a golden light lit up, flying towards him like a galloping lightning bolt. At this time, the sound of breaking the sky sounded - arrow!
This arrow condensed an incomparably powerful domain force, and the timing was extremely accurate. It was when Bader condensed his magic power to resist the meteor shower in the air, and he had no time to make a second reaction.
The magician's melee combat ability is almost equal to zero. If the arrow is real, Bader will be severely injured if he doesn't die, and he will not be able to resist the meteor shower that falls from the sky. The carriage and the people nearby will become melted meat sauce.
"Ding!" The arrow was blocked by a giant sword, and the one holding the sword was another saint-level powerhouse, Cardo.
Cardo really lived up to Bader's expectations and took the arrow for him. Bader's magic power surged out, and the meteor shower in the sky quickly slowed down.
The golden light lit up, and the target this time was Cardo. Lianzhu arrows, five arrows are trained into a line, the front arrow accurately shoots into the back arrow tail, which is equal to nearly five times the afterburner, and the cardo sword is horizontal, and the whole person is shaken by more than ten meters.
Before he could regain his strength, dozens of golden lights with sharp whistles flew towards Bader, who was stalemate with the meteor shower, and it was too late for Cardo to rescue him. Bader felt bad, and his figure instantly appeared in the air. This teleportation made the meteor shower fall a little faster. Bedel quickly stabilized the magic power he resisted and shouted, "Take His Highness out of here!"
If you stay still like this, you can only passively be beaten, and you must give up the carriage.
However, just as Bedel's words fell, the golden lights that were lost seemed to have eyes, and they turned an arc and tracked toward the mid-air Bedell.
Bedel was shocked, and at this critical moment, the golden light suddenly stopped, revealing the original shape inside, arrows all made of golden metal.
The next scene made everyone stunned. These dozens of gleaming arrows instantly turned into fly ash, and these faintly radiant fly ash quickly retreated, following the trajectory of the arrows when they came, as if The playback footage is average.
In the blink of an eye, the light had already flown backwards and returned to the place where the arrow was sent, and a shrill cry rang out. It only rang for half a second, then stopped abruptly, and there was no more sound.
Bader in the air could see it most clearly. It was a slender figure. He tried to avoid the retrograde light several times, but he was unable to succeed. The moment he was returned to his body by the light, he screamed and his body was turned to ashes. .
Bedel only felt that the pressure on his head was loosened, and hundreds of meteorites with flames also turned into ashes in the blink of an eye, blown away by the night wind in the sky, and scattered without a trace.
What power is this? It's so powerful! That slender figure is obviously a peak saint-level powerhouse, and it turned into fly ash in an instant. Judging from that floating state, this kind of power is not like magic power, but more like a poison!
Everything just now was naturally the masterpiece of Pagliu sitting on the top of the carriage. These lowly powerful assassins only need to move their fingers to solve it.
Uncle Dulong took a sip of wine, and winked at the human beings as if he was a demon. He looked like a villain. This uncle is amazing, how strong are you, you can only pretend to be a grandson...
Chen Rui
With an expression of indifference, Lola gave Dulong a sideways glance, and then withdrew her gaze. Anyway, if this lady made a move, the ten Paglios would kneel as well, so she didn't bother to bother with this fellow.
Only the amoeba looked dejected. Such a good opportunity to pinch the soft persimmon and make merit was missed because of the greedy drinking of the last half bottle of wine.
"The enemy has retreated!" Bader could clearly see that after the strong archery was killed, the ghostly shadows seemed to have received some order and quickly retreated, including the fire element holy magic that released the meteor shower. division.
Cardo stepped forward and bowed to Pagliu together with Bedell, who had landed, with obvious awe in their eyes. Others may not know it yet, but as a saint-level strength, he and Bedel can feel that it was this carefree man next to His Royal Highness who solved the enemy.
With a wave of his hand, the peak saint-level powerhouse is turned into flying ashes. The guardian of this "Arthur" has far surpassed the saint-level-super-level powerhouse!
Seeing the enemy retreat, the knights raised their long swords in unison and cheered for victory.
Lola whispered in Chen Rui's ear: "I felt the fluctuation of the water system transmission, those people should have escaped using the one-time teleportation array."
Chen Rui nodded, showing a thoughtful look.
Proyo didn't hear Lola's voice, just frowned and said, "It always feels a little wrong, I think the enemy is retreating a little too fast..."
"General, think about it," Bader shook his head indifferently. "I can see very clearly that the leader of the enemy was killed by the guardian with His Highness, and his morale dropped, so he retreated."
"It's just a commander's intuition, I hope I'm wrong." Proyo nodded, and when he was arranging the soldiers to clear the road obstacles, Pagliu suddenly frowned and stood up. (To be continued..)
