Chapter 103, Roaring Magic and Knight Crow Join the Battle

"Swarm of focused magic missiles."

Baron Kendall stared closely at the group of monsters approaching quickly in the sky, and a dead horse that was carried away by the monsters.

With his eyes fixed on the target he was about to hit, he was extremely excited. To be honest, he had only tested this magic in the magic tower of Organ Castle.

At that time, it was just a tutorial test when purchasing this magic. He only used it once, and he didn't have much related experience.

But at this time, there was no more time for him to feel sorry for himself and worry about this and that. He is now a military nobleman on an expedition, leader of hundreds of elite soldiers.

He should be confident and let his soldiers and people see this confidence.

A thought came to my mind.

The activation of magic may require a fixed password, but the launch after activation, in more advanced magic props, completely relies on the user's mental control.

Buzz-buzz-buzz-

Whoosh!

The magic missiles around him suddenly lit up, making a neat buzzing sound, and then were projected into the sky at extremely fast speeds.

The sound of the magic missiles flying through the air sounded like only one sound.

At the same time, because of the excessive speed when flying out, they also became one in the eyes of the surrounding soldiers.

Like a light emitted from the ground, one end is connected to the ground and the other end is connected to the monster.

It looks very beautiful, but most people don't know how dangerous this thing is.

Anyway, the harpies have learned the lesson.

"Gah?"

Just as a swarm of magic missiles appeared around Baron Kendall, the light emitted by the magic attracted the attention of the monsters flying in the sky.

Some monsters even considered whether to wait and throw the dead horse directly towards that thing. After all, they wanted to see the shiny thing.

But the next moment, the light from the ground rushed straight towards them. The two were more than a hundred meters apart in a straight line, but they arrived in an instant.

Dong dong dong——

The magic missiles flying at high speed accelerated and hit the horse corpse and the harpy monster.

The bones and tendons were broken at the impact point. The horse's body was not strong enough, and the flesh and blood were torn apart where the magic missile hit. The harpy is a monster after all, and is stronger, but when hit by the spherical magic missile, its feathers still flew around and blood burst out.

"Xiaxiaxia!?!"

"Xiaxia??"

Some harpies were knocked unconscious by the strong impact on the spot, and the few monsters that were not hit could not hold the heavy horse carcass under their paws for an instant.

But this is not the end.

General magic missiles rely on the front end of a spherical magic ball to hit and the rear end to spray magic power to accelerate. The attack relies on the strong impact force from the front end. Generally, the attack distance is far away, and it can be controlled by the controller to control the impact point of the magic missile during its flight.

Since the tail end of the magic missile will continue to accelerate during flight, its power has a curve.

The power is limited when the distance is close, and then continues to increase as the distance increases. When the internal magic power of the magic missile responsible for propulsion is exhausted, its impact power is maximized.

Later, due to the influence of the air resistance of the spherical structure, the speed of the magic missile quickly decreased, and its power also decreased rapidly until it fell to the ground, waiting for the last bit of structural magic power that constituted the magic spherical shape to gradually dissipate.

But the magic prop used by Baron Kendall at this time can gather energy to strengthen the magic missile. Let more magic power be deployed in the magic ball of the magic missile, but this part of the magic power will not provide the propulsion force of the magic missile, but will be delayed and detonated by another magic structure after impact.

After the impact attack of the magic missile, a very practical magic explosion damage is added.

boom!

In an instant, a magic missile struck the horse's corpse and was deeply embedded inside the corpse, causing a violent explosion.

The purple-blue magical blasting ball expanded instantly, blowing up most of the horse's body.

Then other magic missiles exploded one after another.

The magic missile that hit the harpy originally pushed the monster backward in the air after the impact. This already made the monsters' faces full of horror and pain, but then the magic missile that hit the harpy exploded instantly, leaving the monsters even more confused. Unexpectedly.

The power of the explosion is not small, but when it explodes in an extremely open place in the sky, it wastes a lot of the impact of the explosion.

For a time, several harpies had their feathers destroyed by the explosion, their skins were burned by a large number of magic sparks, and they pulled out a long line of black smoke as they fell from the sky.

The horse's corpse was blown apart, and pieces of flaming meat fell from the sky in scattered pieces.

"call."

Baron Kendall exhaled. Just now, he concentrated all his energy to prevent any of the high-speed flying magic missiles from missing.

This magic consumes a lot of magic power. In his eyes, every charged magic missile fired is like shining gold.

Thinking about how much it would cost to hire a magician to refill the magic power, Baron Kendall looked at Knight Crow with a smile that always hung on his face: "How about it, Crow? Isn't it good?"

Knight Crow was familiar with the Baron's expression, so he couldn't see the reluctance in the other person's expression at this moment. He did not expose his companions and praised: "It's really awesome! Soldiers and people of Kendall, this is the majestic execution of the Baron. Those monsters, forever You can’t fly above our heads either!”

"Ho! Roar! Roar!"

The soldiers screamed excitedly, regardless of the various pieces of flesh and blood smashed down from the sky, and shouted with their mouths wide open.

But some large pieces of flesh and blood were still dangerous, and even though dozens of militiamen stood scattered, they were still injured.

At this time, the priests who arrived immediately stepped forward and directed the people beside them. Two of them carried one person, and they quickly pulled the injured back to the carriage team for treatment. Some people's heads were smashed, some people's arms were broken, and some people's faces were scratched by bones falling from the sky.

There was even a guy who was so unlucky that he was hit by a flaming monster falling from the sky.

The monster was hit by a charged magic missile, and then fell from the sky and hit a person. He did not die, but he directly killed the human being who was hit.

However, the fallen monster did not survive long, and was directly stabbed and lifted up by the surrounding soldiers with spears. Then, crossbow arrows were fired at close range, killing it directly.

-

When the Baron activated his magic, Kil also looked at the gorgeous magic explosion in the sky with a surprised look on his face.

The roar of the huge magic explosion far exceeded the strong wind blowing around. Fortunately, Kil was deaf at this time, otherwise he would have to cover his ears in discomfort and continue fighting like the militiamen behind him.

The explosion of magic directly wiped out the few harpies in the sky, and also frightened the other harpies flying and attacking on the ground.

Knight Rumi immediately seized the opportunity. When the monster was shocked by the magic, he jumped up from his horse and grabbed one of the monster's paws.

The sharp claws couldn't do anything to the thick steel armor on the knight's body, and a lot of sparks were rubbed out during the struggle, but it was of no use at all.

The knight grabbed the monster's body and used its heavy weight to pull the harpy directly to the ground. After landing, he pressed against the monster's body to prevent it from escaping and taking off.

Hold the monster's back with one hand, and grab the wings on one side of the monster with the other hand.

Zhila——

With a fierce tug, the monster's wings were torn off by the roots.

The flesh and blood connecting the bones and fascia were torn apart in large quantities, and even because the wings of the harpy monster replaced the arms, many of the lungs in the monster's chest were also torn out.

The strong monster leader immediately stopped moving. He only let out half a whine before his head was crushed by Knight Rumi's kick.

Exhaling a breath, Knight Rumi summoned his horse and rushed to a certain place.

-

The monsters seemed frightened.

But he is a monster after all, and his reaction after being frightened is not to retreat, but to fight back even more fiercely.

They no longer fight alone, several of them chirp and communicate, then gather together and rush towards a baron's guard who seems to be the best to take care of.

Others either took the initiative to fight monsters like Knight Rumi and Kil, or even barely completed the mission and evacuated here as soon as possible after Knight Rumi arrived.

But there is also a baron's bodyguard who can't run fast without a horse.

To be honest, the place where Kiel and the others were entangled with the harpy monster was actually not very far from the militia team. It was only about a hundred meters away, and it would only take thirty seconds of jogging.

But after all, there are monsters passing by all around, and you can dodge twice with speed while riding a horse. If you are walking on two human legs and you have to avoid monsters, then this short 100 meters will be very troublesome. .

The monsters gathered in the sky were wiped out by the sudden appearance of magic, which originally made the baron's bodyguard who lost his horse happy. But the next moment, the surrounding harpies seemed to be going crazy and pounced on him.

The man immediately lay down on the spot, but the next moment, his legs were grabbed by the monster passing by on the other side.

A huge force came and lifted him up, and he flew up on his head and feet.

Knight Rumi got close and immediately threw his spear. The monster was more cautious this time. He threw the human caught in his claws and turned sideways to dodge the incoming throw.

But before the unlucky baron's bodyguard landed with a scream, he was caught by another harpy in mid-air. This time, the sharp claws grabbed his thighs and buttocks, and the claws creaked the armor. The scratching made an overwhelming sound.

Knight Rumi wanted to throw a spear to save him again, but the cunning monster immediately lifted the human being controlled by its paws and used it as a shield to block the front of its body and torso.

For a moment, Knight Rumi was either throwing it or not.

He had no choice but to angrily grit his teeth and charge forward on horseback.

Kil also rushed over. He originally wanted to come over and take the man back safely, but unexpectedly he looked up and with a magic trick, the man was caught directly by the monster.

"Oops, these cunning guys can't kill both humans and monsters, right?"

Keir was a little embarrassed for a while and couldn't make a move.

The remaining harpies seemed to become more cunning, grabbing the hostage in their talons in turn.

neither kill nor take away.

-

At the center of Kendall's army in the distance, Knight Crow and Baron Kendall looked at the situation in the distance together.

Unlike the calmer and even somewhat proud Baron, Knight Crow seemed a little worried, his head turned frequently, and he didn't know what he was looking at.

"Don't worry, Rumi and that kid will figure it out."

The Baron thought that Knight Crow was worried about this, so he comforted him.

"No, look over there. The monsters in front are scared. They are waiting for other monsters to come over!"

The knight pointed his finger, but it was not pointing at the place where the monster was playing with the 'hostages', but in another direction.

The side and rear of the army.

There, a large number of harpies that had been falling behind the local caravan had already bypassed the merchants' carriage team and headed straight for the Kendall army from the side.

Baron Kendall turned his head sharply to look. After seeing the number of monsters in this batch clearly, his fingers involuntarily tightened the shaft of the magic gemstone staff.

The weak mechanism made a clicking sound, which was the magic filled by the baron himself as he kept changing the short staff.

"Do you want to use magic to attack again? Can't you save it?"

His voice was a little nervous, and in his heart, financial resources and soldiers were alternating with each other, causing him to not know what to choose.

But Knight Crow shook his head: "Don't think too much. Regarding magic, just use some support, and the soldiers must also see blood. Come and sit here and call the priests back to stay." By your side, I will go to the front line to join up with Knight Rumi.”

Knight Crow explained a lot in one breath, and he used his life energy to control the words and only whispered in the direction of the baron.

This sentence was conveyed to Baron Kendall at once, but others could not hear it.

The Baron took a deep breath and nodded: "Leave it to you. It's best not to cause too many losses to the soldiers."

But this sentence only received a rebuttal from Knight Crow: "This is not up to me personally. Everyone earns his own life. If you want to survive on the battlefield, you must first enter death!"

After saying that, Knight Crow blew his whistle fiercely and summoned his horse.

The war horse neighed, and Knight Crowe jumped off the carriage with a slight jump. Then he jumped up again on the ground, jumped over the obstacles of many carriages, and quickly got on his horse.

The knight immediately drove his war horse back to the carriage where he had been staying, and asked people to load the spear on the war horse and carry it.

Everything was in order, and he rushed into the front line of the battlefield.

The war horses turned left and right while running, bypassing the obstruction of the carriage, and then rushed into the ranks of the militiamen. Because they obeyed the orders of Knight Crow, the militiamen were spread out in formation at this time, which not only prevented the blows from falling from the air, but also And it also allows Knight Crow to pass quickly on horseback.

-

Seeing Knight Crow join the battle, the militiamen who were run by by the knight all let out excited shouts. Even if the wind around them was still getting stronger, the natural roar could not block the passionate shouts of humans.

While riding towards the horse, Knight Crow drew his spear and aimed at the few remaining harpies not far away.

"Rumi, monsters have gathered in large numbers again. Let's take care of these first. The real battle will begin later!"

Knight Rumi, who was driving away monsters, became serious when he heard this. He no longer tried to drive the monsters away. Instead, he circled in a large circle and drove the monsters closer together.

Kil was also quite impatient at this time, all because there was something wrong with the ax in his hand. When facing a single monster, this ax was always very powerful and crisp.

But when encountering a monster holding a human hostage as a human shield to resist, this two-handed ax that only kills monsters cannot break out no matter what.

"Damn it! Just kill the monsters and don't hurt anyone, right? Come on!"

Kil shouted, but the blue light on the surface of the ax in his hand fluctuated. Every time the monster threw up the captured baron's guard, the ax vibrated with blue light. But when the monster caught the hostage again, this ax The ax seemed to have eaten a bad stomach, its head was dull and its brain was dull, and it was unwilling to exert its true power.

At least you can't let the weapon fly out to kill the enemy on its own, but you can still slash it with it in your hand.

But the monster can fly. Although it can't fly high due to the interference of Knight Rumi's constant throwing of spears, it is not something that Kil can reach on horseback.

He himself doesn't have the ability to jump more than ten meters high like Knight Rumi, and he can jump up and catch the harpy monster.

All this made him extremely impatient at this time.

In such an important battle at this time, he cannot fail to play his role.

At this time, Knight Crow rode his horse to join the battle, and as soon as he took action, he threw the spear he had been aiming at for a long time.

His attack was aimed at Knight Rumi's attack, and then he launched it.

Knight Rumi made a large circle, gathering the slightly scattered monsters together, and then threw a spear at one of them, using the weapon in a tacit understanding to push the monster towards the direction of Knight Crow's attack.

The monster was completely unaware of it. Faced with the attack from Rumi, the iron-skinned human, it flapped its wings and retreated backwards by instinct.

They don't dare to fly directly upward. The monsters are not fools. They know that they always use a way to dodge human attacks, but they will be seen through by humans. Therefore, they use their flexible movement ability to fly in the air, forward, backward, left, right, up and down, six Direction, randomly select a direction to dodge attacks.

But what seemed like a smart move was no match for the experienced human knight.

The wisdom of the beast monster was just like that. Faced with the monster's flexible flight and dodge, the two knights just made eye contact after approaching and decided on how to deal with this method.

Therefore, when Knight Rumi first threw his spear at the monster, forcing the monster to dodge backwards seemingly "flexibly", Knight Knight's attack from Crowe, which was thrown by Knight Rumi in one step, was just right for the monster. He stepped back, then hit the waist of the monster's body from a direction that was difficult for the other monster to see.

"Gah? Gah—"

This throwing spear was very powerful and the distance was very close. Once the shot hit, the entire monster's waist was almost bent back by the force from it.

Once the flight movement deformed, it could no longer fly in the air. The entire monster immediately lost flight control and fell from the air.

And below, Knight Rumi, who had considered this step, was already waiting.

"Don't give it a chance, kill it!"

Knight Crow reminded him from a distance, but Knight Rumi didn't say much. He just pulled the horse and made the horse leap forward while running. He then held a throwing spear in each hand. Facing the approaching Fallen Harpy, he threw the two throwing spears at the same time, one on the left and one on the right hitting the base of the monster's wings.

The monster whose wings were broken by the spear could no longer fly. If it couldn't fly, there would naturally be only one result, which was death.

Kiel saw the opportunity, rushed towards the monster that fell to the ground, leaned down and swung the ax fiercely, making a soft swishing sound, which was drowned in the roar of the wind.

Only a monster's head was left flipping and flying up and down.

Yueshui's head took the opportunity to use his ax with both hands and swiped his mouth to swallow the soul of a monster.

And Keir spat in disgust.

He turned his head, and the two knights were already attacking the harpy holding the hostage.

Unlike Rumi Knight alone, when two knights work together tacitly, the combat ability is significantly improved, far beyond the coordinated fighting between Rumi Knight and Kil.

To be honest, even if Knight Rumi wanted to cooperate with Kil, he would not be able to do so. Not only was Kil's own fighting ability poor at this time, but even his horse was far inferior to the standard war horse of their knights.

The war horse can run much faster than the ordinary horses that Kiel rides. It is also covered in armor and is not afraid of the claws of the harpy. Even if it is scratched, it will only leave a series of sparks and scars on the horse's armor, which makes The war horse just felt pain.

At this time, the two knights join together to fight together. You cover and I attack sneakily. I feint and you attack. Three strikes, five divided by two, will confuse the monster holding the hostage.

Then at the critical moment, Knight Crow, who was suddenly given up his spear and sword, waved his gemstone sword out of sight from the monster's side view, and cut off half of his body with a magic-condensed blade.

The magic sword's sharp edge grazed the scalp of the baron's guard, and even cut off the top of the helmet on his head.

Knight Rumi passed the ground under the monster and caught the baron's guard who was still tightly grasped by the monster's claws.

The knight forcefully opened his sharp claws and handed the wounded guy to Keir's hands.

"Take him out of here and find a priest for immediate treatment. Stop the bleeding first and then treat him, otherwise he will die."

Knight Crow ordered Kil to leave here quickly.

Kiel picked up the baron's bodyguard, who was covered in wounds, and immediately turned his horse's head and ran towards the militia's position.

-

As soon as Kil left, Knight Crow shouted loudly: "Crossbowmen on the right team, fire crossbows at me and Knight Rumi. Follow the command and fire."

The two knights then circled around and controlled the last two or three harpies.

Use throwing guns to limit their flight height, and use fast-running horses to keep them in a small circle.

"Now, let go!"

I don't know which knight gave the order, and then fifty people of crossbow-wielding militia fired this round of crossbow arrows at the place where the two knights were.
