Chapter 363 Close Combat

"Shh..." Fann made a silencing gesture.

Since it was a patrol team, they must be guarding important routes, and there was no reason to care about an empty stockyard. Judging from the direction they were traveling, it should be a normal patrol along the street, so just wait until they are far away.

However, an accident happened here.

The team took a few steps and suddenly stopped.

Two of them left the team and walked casually towards the seaside.

"Hey, hey...no way." Someone whispered.

Fann couldn't help but feel a sinking feeling in his heart - they obviously didn't discover the flaw of the investigation team and came towards the thatched house. They clearly wanted to find a convenient place, and the stockyard was their first choice.

That's the problem.

The signal tube has been ignited, and the burst of green light illuminates the surrounding area. A few thatched houses can block the view on one side of the street, but they cannot surround the light.

As long as they take a few dozen steps, they will find green light seeping from the side of the house.

They could bet the enemy wouldn't get too close to the yard, but until now, the enemy hadn't stopped.

Vann removed the canister gun from his back.

"Go four people and go around the block from the other side. Leave these two guys to me. Heim, Tyr, protect our girl, and - don't let the signal be interrupted no matter what. After this burns out, we must Light up the second tube immediately."

After saying that, he ducked down and quietly slipped out of the thatched house.

Although he is not on Noah, Silver Star is also a tree boat, and the entangled roots under his feet will not cause him trouble. Even without a torch, he will not stumble due to the uneven ground.

On the contrary, the torches in the hands of the Imperials became the most eye-catching signpost.

Fann didn't stop until he was fifteen feet away.

He half-knelt on the ground, turned on the gun safety, took a deep breath, and lifted the air rifle flat.

After the high priest purchased the first batch of weapons, he was the first person to receive them - Jinxia was not only responsible for the transactions, but also sent someone to guide them on how to use them. During training, Fann realized deeply that this thing was much more powerful than a bow and arrow. As long as the distance was slightly further, he could defeat one against ten.

But this was not the time to be careful. He had to let the two people fall silently to avoid causing greater trouble.

At this time, the enemy also stopped and stuck the torch at his feet.

There is no better opportunity than now -

Vann held his breath and pulled the trigger.

Almost at the same time, the enemy looked in the direction of the thatched house in confusion, "Hey, what's going on over there?"

"It seems like...something is glowing?"

The firing sound of an air rifle is very rapid and crisp, and the tone is extremely light, without the explosive sound of a musket at all.

Due to the close distance, the moment the high-pressure air flow escaped the barrel, the bullet had already flown in front of one of them. I saw a red mist blooming on the patrolman's face, and then he fell backward like a stone, without even having time to let out a scream.

The other person's expression suddenly changed.

He raised his spear and wanted to speak a warning, but was interrupted by another round of bullets.

The neck, chest, waist, thighs... were shot in many places at the same time. Although he was wearing leather armor, he could not block the impact of the pointed diabolo bullets.

This time Vann almost drained the air pressure in the tank.

Is it done?

The moment he lowered the muzzle of the gun, he realized that his palms were already covered with fine sweat.

One thing Vann did not tell everyone was that he had indeed fought against the Imperial Army many times, but each time it ended with the troops being defeated. Apart from witnessing the deaths and injuries of his teammates, he had gained nothing, and he had not even killed an enemy. Once, he was in close combat with an armored knight. He tried all means to injure the opponent, but he almost died on the spot.

From that day on, there was a shadow in his heart.

For a warrior, this is an unacceptable result.

This is also the reason why Fann was the first to step out of the queue when the high priest recruited the investigation team.

He knew that only by fighting the Imperial Army again and winning could he get rid of this inner demon.

Looking at the two motionless patrols lying on the ground, Vann Hind suddenly felt a heartfelt sense of relief. At this point, when others mentioned his confrontation with the empire, he finally no longer had to keep his guilt and depression to himself. hide.

He took out a new gas tank from his backpack and replaced it, then turned towards the street and touched it.

The torches were still burning, but the long silence also made other members of the patrol impatient.

"Are those two people okay yet?"

"Why does it take so long to be convenient? Isn't it because of diarrhea?"

"Yes, maybe they are looking for leaves everywhere."

"Damn... I'm going to take a look. Someone come with me."

Two more figures came towards the torch, cursing.

Seeing that the encirclement was not enough, Fann quickly ran into the surrounding grass and decided to wait for the enemy. Even if there is a risk of exposure, they must not let them discover the abnormality behind the thatched house.

When the distance between the two parties narrowed and he could vaguely see the outline of the other party, the fire in the distance suddenly disappeared. Apparently, his comrades had gone around to the rear and launched an attack on the scattered team. Everything has been going well so far. There are only seven or eight people in the patrol. With their minds and hearts, they may be able to take down this imperial squad quietly with the help of Jinxia City's new weapons.

As long as he can deal with these two new enemies——

As soon as this thought came up, Fann saw the armor reflecting the dim light on one of them.

The leader was actually an iron knight!

He subconsciously took a step back.

"Crack."

There was a sound of roots breaking under his feet.

"Who is it?" The knight immediately looked towards his position.

Fann had no choice but to take the initiative!

Since neither side carried torches, he could not shoot as accurately as before, and could only fire continuously at the position of the shadow. At the same time, the armor flashing with dim light approached quickly, and rushed to him in almost the blink of an eye - the bullets burst into sparks on the enemy, but failed to stop the opponent's actions.

When Fann got close, he found that there was a metal shield in front of the knight!

Under the sweep of the shield, he was forced to roll over and roll to avoid the powerful blow.

"There are still elves hiding - and they look like they have practiced." The knight seemed a little surprised. He glanced at the shield, "What are you holding in your hand? A new crossbow? I don't think I heard any gunshots."

Vann threw down the air rifle and drew the dagger from his waist. The situation in front of him was extremely unfavorable - although they were all demon holders, the islanders could only use tree spirit seeds to exert their abilities, while the imperials were good at killing.

But no matter what, he was determined not to give up the road under his feet.

He didn't want to experience the taste of defeat and escape again.

The enemies who were traveling with the Iron Knight also surrounded him from the side.

The ambush just now was obviously in vain.

"Silence? It doesn't matter, I will study it myself." The knight said coldly, "... after chopping off all your five fingers."

At this moment, a strange sound of wind came into everyone's ears - it rose and fell regularly, as if someone was holding a huge palm leaf fan and waving it back and forth, and the sound was getting louder and louder from far to near.

Wow - wow - wow -

The enemy also showed doubts.

But this hesitation lasted only a few breaths, and the answer appeared in front of everyone. A black shadow like a hill rose almost vertically to the ground and rushed straight towards the three people!

"Lie down!" someone shouted - in the Central Plains language.

Fann did not hesitate and immediately lay down with his head in his hands.

The knight's reaction was obviously a beat slower. While he was still trying to see what the black shadow was, Olina's strong body had already pressed on him with a force of ten thousand pounds!

Under the high-speed impact, the knight was dragged all the way and rubbed against the ground, sliding out a full six or seven feet away. By the time the dragon girl controlled her posture, the person who was crushed had turned into an inseparable mixture of flesh and metal together with the armor.
