Chapter 1546: Onslaught
So...should I go?
As soon as this thought came to his mind, Ezio saw that the blade was already in front of his eyes. At this time, it was too late to draw the sword and block. He raised his left arm, seemingly using his left wrist, but in fact he used the dragon's tooth hidden sword in his sleeve to catch the blow.
How could it be possible for someone who had gained the momentum to stop? The knife in the right hand was held up, followed by the knife in the left hand. The two knives danced like windmills, attacking Ezio's most uncomfortable place with every move.
I had to block, I had to dodge, I had to fight to get some minor injuries to prevent myself from losing balance and losing control of my body. Ezio was caught in a violent storm. He didn't need to be careless. As long as he relaxed a little, half of his two swords could exert their destructive power to cut flesh and bones at any time and send him on his way.
If we were to escape from the devil's pursuit before, the difficulty lies in the battle that constantly challenges the physical and mental limits. So this time it will be a competition in all aspects from martial arts, strength to physical fitness. Any shortcomings will become the enemy's target, making the already declining trend even more unbalanced.
It was semi-clear that the petite human in front of him was not inferior to him at all in terms of combat awareness and reactions. If you don't expect to overwhelm your opponent in terms of skills, or if your flaws are exposed due to negligence, it is better to use the two swords as heavy weapons to break through the opponent's defense! And he did so.
As Ezio struggled to survive, his hidden sword had already been drawn out for use. But a weapon that is not much longer than a palm cannot be of much help at such a disadvantage. It can only save lives.
The long sword pulled out in his right hand was chopped at random, turning into a twisted and rotten iron bar. It would not be a surprise to see it cut off any time. The wooden scabbard was immediately scrapped. It was just to protect myself from being hurt when carrying the long sword. It was really impossible to expect it to function as a shield to block such an attack. joke.
However, even if they half-hoped that such an onslaught could continue until Ezio fell, it was actually impossible to continue indefinitely. Just like a long breath, it will eventually come to an end.
For the last highly anticipated blow, Ban put his two swords together and struck them diagonally downwards. Even though the Ryuga Hidden Sword deflected the two swords from the side, it was still unable to avoid leaving injuries on the body.
However, the weak Han failed to follow up with the next blow. Instead, he took a deep breath while advancing forward.
Ezio caught him in this little moment of respite. Regardless of the possibility of a broken bone in his arm, he kicked and crawled, using both his hands and feet. From a semi-dead corner, he awkwardly got out of his attack range.
Although this distance was created, Ezio's safety was still not guaranteed. Because his condition is even worse than that of Half. In order to stay on the airship to facilitate movement and special airborne landings, the equipment that is not even light armor is as if he is not wearing anything in front of Half's double swords, and he can cut anywhere. See blood.
On the contrary, as long as Han takes a breath, he can continue to attack.
But after all, this battle is not a one-on-one battle between two people. In the previous close combat, the distance was too close for others to intervene. But now that they have distanced themselves, how can the people on the airship just sit idly by and watch.
It was not the magician who took action, but the secret weapon that the Twin Griffins had hidden until now. From the small hatch opened on the starboard side, three six-barreled rotating machine guns protruded. The machine gunner is from a family affiliated with Kawi and is an original crew member of the Twin Griffin.
If conditions permit, this secret weapon will be concealed until the end of the war and will not be used lightly. Ezio knew it, but he never thought of using it beyond his authority. The power of giving orders rested with the baron, the captain of the boat. The order from the old Duke Kawei allowed the use of this secret weapon when it was to protect the airship and Egio.
The situation the Baron was facing now was that he did not dare to order the airship to descend to the range where magic could attack.
Strong warriors naturally have their own special skills in dealing with magicians, especially in terms of shortening the distance. If the airship descends to a distance where magic attacks are available, does it mean that the opponent may get close to the airship or even enter the inner cabin?
In this world where strength is respected, no one dares to look down upon a strong man with bottomless strength. Therefore, the baron did not dare to bet that the strong orc on the ground was a target that could only be beaten but could not fight back.
Then Ezio was at a disadvantage in the battle, and his life even seemed to be in danger. If you don't use a secret weapon like this, then I'm afraid
I'm afraid I'll never need to use it. Therefore, under the instructions of the baron, the machine gunner was in position, but there was a lack of a chance to shoot.
When the two people below pulled away, the three machine gunners opened fire!
The development of gunpowder weapons in Midland was limited to large artillery. Small firearms are still at the level of flintlock guns. Of course, it is impossible to build a qualified rotating multi-barreled machine gun. Therefore, these machine guns fire magic bullets and are directly connected to the secondary energy pool on the airship.
Magic bullets have their own light, and can produce a line of fire effect in the dark without the need for interspersed tracer bullets. Although this is also a type of magic, the specially agglomerated body of pure power cannot be dissipated so easily, so it can shoot with a range of several kilometers and hit an area centered on the Orc Half.
However, I don’t know whether it’s because the machine gunner’s training is insufficient, so his accuracy is not good enough, or whether he is able to dodge the magic bullets shot straight from a distance just by relying on intuition. In short, there is probably only one shot that truly threatens half of them.
Most of the shots were still in the air and went straight into the snow without even a snowflake jumping up. For those attacks that really pose a threat, he raises his sword to block it without wasting any energy.
Although the attack of magic bullets is strong, it is not unstoppable to warriors who have mastered the magic-breaking skills. Unless the three machine gun fires are concentrated and form a barrage, half of the defense can be broken through with numbers.
It's a pity that the machine gunner's shooting skills are not as good as this. The only good thing is that they did not cover Ezio in a hail of bullets or block his way out, but gave the people on the ground a chance to retreat.
Ezio didn't hesitate at all. Seeing the opportunity created by his companion, he stepped back a large distance. Then he boosted his energy, used his vertical leap technique, and jumped towards the airship's resting position in the air.
In fact, the height of the Twin Griffins meant that even if Ezio was in full condition, he would not be able to jump to such a high position. What's more, he has just suffered a heavy loss and been injured.
Although the injury was not serious, it also affected his performance. In this way, it is almost impossible to jump on the Twin Griffin.
But this little problem certainly won't trouble those young men who were originally from the Karlsruhe Empire's genuine Sky Knights.
As the commander of the Marine Corps, he was also a former ace of the Empire and a member of the Dragoon Legion. As early as Ezio took off, he grasped the right direction and threw a dragon gun. Then jumped out of the hatch.
With all his strength exhausted, Ezio's upward momentum stopped. When he was about to fall, the young Marine who jumped out of the hatch grabbed his arm and threw it away! Immediately, Ezio gained speed again and leaped towards the airship.
The young man who threw someone away fell in the opposite direction. Just as it happened, this was where the dragon spear he threw in front of him landed.
Using the dragon spear as a fulcrum, the young man kicked off his feet. In addition to letting the dragon spear shoot towards the ground at a faster speed, he also changed its direction and rose into the air.
In the end, both of them entered the airship safely. The command room who received the notice did not dare to linger, drove at full speed and ran away without looking back. The orc who was left on the ground was speechless for a while.
He didn't act pretentiously and cursed people for not practicing martial ethics, but just ran away. This is war, and personal victory or defeat does not matter. What was half-expected was the way this group of people got on and off the airship.
If the ship floating in the sky lands, it is half certain that they will be able to invade the airship before they pick up the people they want to pick up. It will be a bloody massacre. He didn't even think that there was another person on the airship who could resist him. Even for the man who just escaped, defeating him is only a matter of time.
But this group of people has mastered a very special skill that allows them to return to the airship without the airship touching the ground. Such a miscalculation made Ban stand on the ground and sigh helplessly. He couldn't go up to that height.
Putting the blades of the two swords in his hands in front of his eyes, he felt helpless. The long sword was not worth mentioning, but the dagger in the sleeve was a disappointment to Ban Ban. How many attacks were disrupted, how many crises were caused by the hidden sword, and how many gaps in the double blades were caused by the short sword.
With that weapon, it's no wonder he was able to kill dozens of great demons in a row. Even if he has the ability to protect the weapon in his hand, he will
Its power can be used to its fullest, but there is always a limit. Maybe it's time to replace these two knives.
Put the two knives back into the hard scabbard made of animal hide. He was half aware that the same trap would not work a second time, so he did not think about leading the departing airship to the ground again, and just walked away through the snow.
In the control room of the Twin Gryphon, a message came from the copper pipe. After receiving the news from Ezio in the rear cabin, the captain ordered the airship to turn around and run away at full speed!
The machine gunners who were opening meat in actual combat for the first time complained angrily that they hadn't opened their doors yet. I hope I can circle the target until I shoot the orc to death.
The captain, a baron, didn't care if the problem was his own, and directly criticized the opponent's hit rate of less than 10%. And even if it hits, it doesn't cause any damage.
And frankly speaking, with this kind of hit rate, if the airship's energy pool power reserve is drained, there is no way to kill the opponent. Then the enemy won't have to run into the air to chop them, the airship will fall on its own.
The person who was soured was speechless. After re-arranging the machine gun and putting it away, he returned to his post. In a few words, they had already thrown the strong orc on the ground an unknown distance away. It is impossible to go back and find trouble with an enemy.
But what everyone was most concerned about was the wounded soldiers who were rescued on the airship, including Ezio.
The doctor on board the boat is treating everyone. This is a new professional name developed after the life priest of the Church of Three Holy Lights joined forces with a certain former demon king of the original lich. Although it is the name of a certain traveler's hometown, no one knows this.
