Chapter 107, Knight Crow’s Battle and Final Preparations for Battlefield Magic

At the same time, at the same time, Knight Rumi committed the sin of oath.

On the other side of the army, the Crow Knights were shining.

He galloped outside the army on his horse at high speed. Wherever the harpy monster wanted to jump down from the air and attack the lone soldier, Knight Crow rushed over first and drove the monster away with the weapon in his hand.

If he could catch it in time, he would control his horse to leap up while running, intercepting the monsters that were falling from the air. His rich experience in dealing with monsters allowed him to quickly calculate the time it would take for a monster to pounce from the air and reach the ground.

He used this to intercept the monster and engage in close combat with the monster more than ten meters in the air.

The arrogant harpies certainly don't think that they can dominate the strange wind grassland and can't defeat a tin human.

Of course they can't be beaten.

Knight Crow is best at using the long sword compared to other weapons, and compared to the sword and shield that most knights practice, he is better at single sword skills. Who told him to have a magic gem long sword that others can't ask for? Where's the sword?

Even if the magic blade on the sword is not used, the basic quality of this weapon made entirely of magic materials far exceeds that of ordinary weapons.

The sharp and sharp claws that the harpy monster is most proud of collided with the edge of Knight Crow's sword, and there was no match for them. Most of them were cut off with one sword, and the other half was smashed.

The harpy monsters, who suffered great losses from the collision in the air, soon no longer dared to fight this human in close combat.

They tried to attack in twos, so that the Crow Knights could not care about each other.

But Knight Crow was moving at high speed and saw the right moment to swing the shattering magic sword that broke through the air.

The one-meter-wide magic sword flashed out from the knight's sword at high speed. As the knight waved, it was turned into a curved blade. At the same time, the magic sword that was thrown out at high speed was light and fast. The blue sky disappeared in a flash.

Wuwuwuwuwhistle——making an extremely terrifying and terrifying sound breaking through the air.

This sound is sharper than the sounds of monsters, but it does not hurt people's ears more, because unlike the harpy attack, in this superb performance of human martial arts, all the power is concentrated The projected magic sword was on top of it.

Because of the chaos on the battlefield and the knights and monsters moving at high speed, not many people could really see what was going on. Most of the Kendall soldiers could only look at the sky while holding up their crossbows and spears. At that moment, I caught a glimpse of traces of magic sliding across the sky.

But the Harpy monster attacked by Knight Crow was different. The hot killing intent from humans surged forward, and then it turned into a real life-threatening attack and flew over.

The targeted harpy monsters twisted left and right in the air crazily, up and down, but all of this was just their wishful thinking in vain.

Often when they sense the murderous intent shrouding their bodies, in less than a blink of an eye, the magic sword with unknown power will burst through the air.

Even if the humans riding horses on the ground are still hundreds of meters away from them, or even further away, the magic sword is like something in the flow of another time that it doesn't want to do with everything around it. Just pass them by.

As soon as it passed by, it continued flying towards the sky or deep into the grassland, flying farther and farther until no one could see it accurately anymore.

The harpy monster will freeze in the air for a moment, and then either its wings will separate from its body, or its entire body will immediately become two halves with smooth cuts.

The magic sword that killed and wounded them was so fast that it didn't even have a chance to burn their bodies with magic sparks. The fractures were neat and neat, as if they were cut with a real metal weapon. .

"Yah!"

The monster that was broken in half from the middle of the body could only let out a final cry, while the harpy monster with broken wings was desperately trying to flap its only remaining wing, even though they had not learned to practice it since they were born. How to fly with only one wing left.

Or rather, use one wing to fall?

Boom, the monster hit the soft grass hard. Because of its solid body, especially the body adapted to hitting the grass at high speed, the harpy monster was not dead after its wings were cut off by Knight Crow.

Even apart from missing one wing, they are in relatively good condition. They will not die like humans if they fall from the air to the ground.

This is the difference between biological body structures.

But the fate of these guys may not be better than that of their companions who were killed directly in the air.

Because a large number of Kendall soldiers around had already surrounded and killed them from the left and right.

Although they couldn't help Knight Crow who was showing off his power, these soldiers could still do what they could to help.

"Don't let it go! Kill!!"

The captain of the militia squad who was not deaf roared and waved his weapon forward, commanding the surrounding militiamen who could still hear him to rush forward.

But then the harpy monster who landed on the ground stood up and roared at him.

"呷-"

The sharp sound was only heard for a moment, and the militiamen in this area were deafened at the same time.

There was blood gushing from his ears, his eyes were trance-like and his body was disoriented.

But his shaky body was stabilized by his companion who had gone deaf a moment ago. Their arms were linked with each other, holding the weapon in one hand and holding his companion in the other.

Although they cannot communicate with each other, everyone can know each other's thoughts with just one expression and one look.

There is only one thing, which is to fight, fight, fight, defeat the half-disabled monster, and regain our own honor.

Some people held each other's arms, some were pushed and pulled, or others were squeezed and rushed forward.

Facing the tenacious humans who were still coming, this harpy monster with one of its wings was broken was scared. It roared at the surroundings in fear. Seeing that the humans were unmoved, it turned around and ran away.

But then it discovered something that made it particularly frightening.

Compared with humans living on the ground, they are monsters that can flap their wings and fly. Although they are not immobile on the ground, their claws are specially designed to pounce and kill prey, which are not designed to move on the ground at all. evolved.

It can only move in small jumps, like a jackrabbit whose brain has been destroyed by parasites.

Even though humans were momentarily knocked off balance by its screams, they supported each other and chased after it in long strides, still much faster than it.

"ha!"

Several militiamen with the best health raised their crossbows and fired arrows first. The jumping monsters were like the stupidest chickens on the ground and could be kicked over with one kick.

Bang, whoosh——

The crossbow arrow passed through the gap in the chasing crowd and hit the monster's only remaining wing.

The strong feathers could not block the crossbow arrows fired at close range, and they penetrated directly. But there are only feathers here and not much body tissue. An arrow shot through it and only knocked away some scattered feathers and fragments.

"spit."

The crossbow-wielding militiaman spat, secretly annoyed that he couldn't shoot at such a close range. If he survived later, he would definitely be laughed at by his teammates in the team.

Thinking of this, he quickly nocked the arrow, ran forward two steps, found a gap for shooting, knelt down half-kneeling, and lowered his body to get a better hit rate.

Taking aim, the half-disabled harpy monster not far away was impaled by a spear, and it couldn't help but pause in its fleeing movement.

good chance!

Concentrating and imagining the trajectory of the arrow, he made some slight adjustments at the last moment, and bang! Whoosh——

This time, he watched with his own eyes as the rapidly fired crossbow arrow hit the monster's waist. The arrow pierced hard, causing the monster to open its mouth and howl in unbearable pain.

His face looked ecstatic. Although he had only done this, at least he had made some achievements in this battle.

The monster was in unbearable pain after being hit. As soon as it howled, it was continuously hit by more crossbow arrows, which made it stunned for a moment. It never imagined that at least a dozen crossbowmen were aiming at it at this moment.

It had been running away and jumping, making it difficult to aim. Now, as soon as there was a pause, these militiamen who had been waiting for the opportunity launched an attack.

The continuous crossbow arrows inflicted more injuries on the monster. Although the injuries were not deep into the flesh, the cumulative effect was still fatal.

The real killer came next.

More than a dozen militiamen with spears who were chasing it swarmed up and pierced it all over with their weapons.

The spear that struck with the full force of the body penetrated far more than a crossbow arrow. No matter how strong the body was, it was penetrated and punctured. The spear that hit the torso of the body even pierced important internal organs, causing massive bleeding in the body.

It gasped and softened.

When the three-meter-tall monster lowered its head and lowered its body, a machete-wielding militia team leader stepped on the dense spear poles of his companions and quickly approached the exhausted monster.

The machete was raised high, and the man jumped up. The blade drew a shining trajectory and hit the harpy monster in the middle of the head.

Damn it!

Although he couldn't hear the sound, the militia team leader knew that the attack had penetrated the monster's forehead and penetrated into the brain just by the feel of his hand.

The machete was stuck in the monster's head, but the harpy's eyes also lost their brightness.

The militia captain breathed a sigh of relief, turned around and waved his fist at the many companions who were looking over.

-

That was just one of the many monsters that Knight Crow defeated and killed one after another.

The more he fought, the braver he became, and the life energy in his body began to boil, faintly appearing outside the thick knight's steel armor he wore. The harpy monster did not dare to approach him, so it flew around him at a distance of more than ten meters, at close range. Watch his every move.

As soon as the knight waved his sword, they flew away with a roar, leaving no chance for Knight Crow to hit them.

At the same time, when flying around Crow Knight, each harpy made the sharpest cry towards Crow Knight himself and his horse.

Every time this continuous chirping is emitted, the life energy emerging from the knight's body will shake.

Not only that, the monsters also picked up some debris on the battlefield, chased after the knight, and threw them at Knight Crow.

These were probably helmets, daggers and other things thrown away by some soldiers in panic. The monsters threw them at Knight Crow from a distance, which annoyed Knight Crow.

The monsters restrained Knight Crow here, while the others separated into several groups and pounced on the Kendall soldiers on the ground.

"Rear line, shoot!"

Someone was reluctantly commanding, and as soon as the words fell, a rain of arrows rose from the ground, like an inverted rainstorm, slamming towards the harpy monsters that jumped in the air.

But it was Baron Kendall who was standing on the carriage and giving command. There were fifty militiamen all holding crossbows on top of the surrounding carriages. I haven't taken action before, just waiting for this opportunity.

The harpies hit by the sudden heavy rain of crossbow bolts were caught off guard and were shot down one after another.

But these monsters are extremely tenacious. As long as their wings are not seriously injured, they will flap their wings a few times after landing and fly off the ground again.

Because the monster that landed on the ground was accompanied by other militiamen who had fought in the past, Kendall Knight could not let these militiamen really cover the enemy without distinguishing between ourselves and the enemy.

These are not two knights who can survive the rain of arrows without any damage.

A hail of arrows would probably kill most of his own people.

Baron Kendall looked at the church priests on top of the carriage next door and asked a little urgently: "Are you all ready?"

The priest of the Church of the Sun God nodded calmly and responded: "I have prayed to our Lord for the magic you want."

The priest of the Church of the God of Wealth hurriedly said: "I need coins, a lot of coins, of any value, but the higher the value of the coins, the greater the power of my magic."

The priest of the Church of the God of Agriculture said with some caution: "Sir, the magic of our church requires many priests to work together. I can barely perform it alone, and can only choose one of two magics with limited duration."

The baron nodded and first used the little magic of his voice to issue his order to his attendants: "Now immediately get all the coins prepared for this trip. The priests need to use them to perform magic. Be quick."

Then he looked at the priests of the Church of Saturn: "It doesn't matter, it would be great if you can help at this time. Please tell me which two."

Priest Saturn said hurriedly: "One is to temporarily increase the strength of all the warriors who have been farming for a living by half, and replenish their physical strength a little. The other is to temporarily increase the life recovery of a limited duration for all of us at this time. And it also replenishes your physical strength a little. But the latter one takes a shorter time.”

The baron understood. He blinked and thought for a moment, then asked a key question: "Can life recovery heal the soldiers' injured ears?"

The priest of the Church of Saturn hesitated for a moment, nodded first, and then shook his head: "Yes, but it is only temporary. It can only allow them to hear the sound for a short time during the time when their life is restored. If the ear is injured, its internal damage is limited. The main reason is that the sound-receiving membrane in the ear was shattered by the loud sound. This needs to be treated one by one to cure it."

Although the Baron was a little disappointed, he still made a plan.

"Okay, let's choose the second option. Get ready as soon as possible. Everyone, today's victory or defeat depends on you."

After speaking, he waved his hand and asked several priests to make final preparations.

He himself took out the magic gem short staff and activated the magic props on his body that could increase the effectiveness of the magic props.

The gem crown sparkled and buzzed, and the large gems on the short staff also glowed with magic.

The above attack magic has been selected, just waiting for the next time to activate it.

The timing comes from the priests' large-scale divine magic.

To be honest, although the several priests from Kendal churches who came to support the baron this time are already very powerful people. But the Baron still felt it was a pity. It would be great if the pastors from each church responsible for local academic affairs came together.

Compared to powerful shepherds, priests who are two levels higher can single-handedly provide hundreds of soldiers with the battlefield magical support needed for a battle.

But how is this possible?

It’s hard for someone to teach a local leader to go out to fight, so they themselves stop working?

It's enough to listen to his call and send capable shepherds.

Couldn't ask for more.

No matter what, the battle still depends on your own side.

The baron thought of this and looked at his two knights. Knight Rumi fought hard at the front. Although he tried his best, some soldiers were still killed by the monsters that jumped down. Some soldiers flew into the sky with their entire bodies, or with half of their bodies scratched to pieces by sharp claws.

They were then concentrated and thrown down, causing more casualties and chaos.

It can be seen that Knight Rumi has tried his best. With the help of that little guy Kiel, they barely let the soldiers at the front collapse.

Because when the harpies were causing casualties to humans, humans were also causing uninterrupted casualties to the harpies.

It's basically a one-for-one exchange.

That is to say, the death of a human being can almost be replaced by the death and injury of a monster.

The injured harpies were either chased by soldiers and Kiel on the ground, or they barely flew away and were no longer able to participate in the subsequent battle.

On the side of Knight Crow, the situation was much better. The fast magic sword wielded by Knight Crow was extremely dangerous, so the harpies had to divide nearly ten heads to continue to pester Knight Crow himself, using Create trouble for him to prevent distant attacking monsters from being sneak-attacked by the deadly magic sword.

The dangerous magic swords of the monsters were difficult to cause casualties when the monsters continued to stare at the knight at close range.

Because as long as Knight Crow made a move to swing his sword, they would flee in advance and be extra cautious, fully demonstrating the cunning of the monsters.

"Why don't you show your full strength? Crow, what are you waiting for?"

For a moment, Baron Kendall suddenly thought of what Knight Crow was waiting for: he was waiting for my move.

"That's right. Use all your strength. Once you fail to deliver a critical blow, it will be dangerous later."

He took a deep breath and then raised his head.

The baron's attendants carried boxes and boxes of money for the army from the emergency exit of the carriage.

gathered around the carriage of the priests.

The lock on the box was slowly opened in no time. Baron Kendall gave the order, and a bodyguard immediately stepped forward and struck with a big sword, striking out a large number of sparks from the metal lock made of magic material.

Several big sword guards slashed continuously, and soon the lock made of magic material was chopped open without taking into account the damage to the big sword.

Opening the lid of the box, there were gold and silver coins neatly arranged inside.

Everyone present was briefly attracted by the light of this precious metal.

There's no way, we're all human, and no one doesn't like these shiny and precious things. This is the nature of life. Even the legendary dragons like to collect precious metals, don't they?

The priest of the God of Wealth swallowed his foam. He knew that Kendall City was very rich, but he did not expect that Kendall City, located in the border land, would be so rich.

Not to mention the gold coins, the piles of silver coins alone exceeded the income of a noble baron and lord from the land for many years.

"How? Are these enough?"

the baron asked the other party.

The priest of the God of Wealth nodded, but said hesitantly: "Sir, these valuable coins may scatter everywhere when I use my magic. This is not easy to collect, and there will be big problems."

But Baron Kendall hesitated for a moment, and then replied decisively: "No matter when, money is used by people. Perhaps, this is their most essential role at this time, isn't it?"

"You have real wisdom. I believe we will overcome this hurdle. In the days to come, the God of Wealth will help you obtain more wealth than you have today."

The priest bowed respectfully to Baron Kendall and made a solemn gesture.

The baron stretched out his short jeweled cane and responded with a very formal courtesy among nobles: "Let's start, let's give the harpy a good look!"

"According to your will."

Everyone around them responded.
