Chapter 332 Encounter on a Narrow Road (Four K...
The shouts of killing on the battlefield have gradually disappeared, leaving only the sound of panting and moaning in pain. Wars in the era of cold weapons are always cruel. The blood and wounds caused by swords are far more intuitive than those caused by guns. However, because there is no lethality rate of hot weapons, in such battles, the number of people who die on the spot is usually a small number. Most of them are "injured" - but in this era, the death rate in wars is often high, and the main reason is the "wound infection" caused by the inability of magicians to take care of them.
It's not the first time that Lando has experienced such a war scene, but the smell is still suffocating... His fingers trembled slightly, trying to calm his breathing, but he couldn't help looking at Nata not far away.
Although he didn't want to admit it in his heart, the facts made him realize that his progress in the past six months was completely incomparable to the other party.
Because he has already confirmed that the arrow that hit the Busero knight was made by Nata.
This feeling made Lando extremely embarrassed. If the victory in front of him hadn't washed away the disappointment in his heart, he might not be in the mood to continue standing here at all. However, after going through a life-and-death test, Lando was finally more open-minded than before. He heaved a sigh of relief. The idea of "competing" with Rody in his heart was finally slowed down because of the gap in front of him that he couldn't catch up with. Slowly dissipating—even Nata has become the target that I need to look up to. How far can Rody's strength go now?
The reinforcements' charge shocked the morale of the soldiers, and the Knight of Wellington, who had regained the initiative, rushed back and forth three times with great momentum... This "ghost knight" is not without temper. Once he was forced by the enemy to choose to break out... and knowing that the ultimate goal of these guys is to deal with the Duke of Angmar, he will not be polite or merciful to the enemy in front of him.
All the enemies who raised their shields and tried to resist were cut in half by the long swords wrapped in fighting spirit. After the enemies in front of them were dealt with, the Wellington knights did not stop, but they were the same as the cavalry led by Soderol. , led the team to continue to move forward without stopping, and went directly to the caravan camp for support.
The mobility of the cavalry is undoubtedly reflected here. In comparison, Lando, Nata and the others can only deal with the enemies who are still resisting or fleeing here.
After intervening in close combat, Nata carried the oversized longbow behind her back. She held two daggers, and as the infantry rushed into the scattered enemy formation, the black and red leather armor walked like a ghost. Among the scattered enemies—her beautiful face remained expressionless, no matter whether the enemy was screaming ferociously or begging for mercy, only her light stab was greeted.
Her dagger was as fast as a phantom, crushing this group of infantry who had no armor but could not move with her agility advantage.
In front of those heavily armed infantry, Nata's petite body looked extremely uncoordinated, but she was like a cold sickle, slowly and firmly harvesting all the enemies in front of her.
The black and red leather armor gradually became a banner on the battlefield, gathering the remaining soldiers together—in just two minutes, those enemies who were still stubbornly unable to bear the pressure were completely unable to bear the pressure, and a large-scale rout occurred...
At this time, Nata, who was at the front of the line, finally stopped—she flicked the blood beads on the daggers, and then spun them into the leather sheath. The soldiers around who turned defeat into victory couldn't help cheering, but Nata didn't stay here to celebrate together, she gently shook her arms that were a little sore from the battle, but silently withdrew from the cheering crowd.
Nata's character has always been like this, she doesn't like people to share the so-called joy or excitement, her face is cold, her heart is calm, and she has experienced more wars, and she no longer has those messy emotions at first.
But just as she left the hustle and bustle, a strange feeling suddenly made her stop.
Nata narrowed her eyes slightly, and her gaze swept across the forest in front of her imperceptibly—after going through several battles, what she improved was not only her strength, but also her unprecedented keen perception, and just now , She suddenly gave birth to a strange feeling of being spied on.
On the huge battlefield, there were quite a few people looking at Nata. Among them were fleeing enemies and cheering friendly troops, but none of them would give Nata such an inexplicable sense of crisis.
However, after carefully inspecting the circle with her eyes, she never experienced similar feelings again.
Is it just my own illusion?
Just as he was wondering, Lando's voice came from next to his ear: "Nata, thanks for coming in time."
She turned her head, and Lando, who looked a bit embarrassed in her field of vision, was looking at her with complicated eyes - but nothing about others could affect Nata's state of mind, no matter whether Lando was stronger or weaker than herself, for Nata In fact, there is no difference. So regarding his words, Nata just showed a puzzled expression habitually, waiting for Lando's next words.
This expression was no different from the Nata in Lando's impression, and he was slightly relieved - after all, she hadn't changed much.
"Before meeting these enemies, we had just gone through a battle. If it weren't for you...I mean...actually—just want to thank you."
Lando wanted to talk about the process, but then he realized that there was no need to talk about it with Nata. After seeing Nata's current strength, he has completely thought about it: the psychological burden of embarrassment or depression in his heart actually came from his obsession that he couldn't let go of. And the thanks at this time, quite a bit of letting go of the knot.
Nata didn't understand the change in his heart. They said that women have complicated thoughts. Nata is actually more pure and simple than most men. She thought about it and replied in a business-like manner: "According to the plan, the team should arrive early. Here, but we were late because of problems at the river crossing."
"So, Captain Roddy asked me to say sorry to you, of course he will tell you himself sooner or later
Looking at Nata who said these words with a blank face, Lando still sighed in his heart that Nata was different from before after all: For the same race, she has already started to use "you", although this does not mean alienation, but But it proves a fact... She has unconsciously developed a sense of belonging to Roddy's team.
After these words were finished, the two of them had nothing to continue talking about like before. Lando sighed and forced a smile. He wanted to ask Nata when he would return to the village, but then he realized that there was no answer to this question. Nata rarely took the initiative to ask: "I will bring a group of soldiers Stay here and watch, and you take the rest of the people to support the camp immediately."
This must be Rody's order, and Lando knew that he had no room to refuse, so he nodded without hesitation, then turned and left.
At the same time, Rody's cavalry had charged to the camp where the caravan was.
He was full of remorse at this time, wishing he could double the speed of the horse so that he could have a good fight with these damned enemies
Roddy is very clear that he has been able to "overcome the strong with the weak" and even create "miracles" in the eyes of others. What he relies on most is not just strength or equipment, but the "knowledge" in his mind that ordinary people can't compare.
He understands this world better than the vast majority of people on this continent, and even knows its future direction, so he can always anticipate the enemy's opportunity and plan ahead.
However, in this operation, there was an unexpected flaw in the original careful plan: the team had to cross the river in Paarland if they wanted to reach the scheduled location, but when he brought the team to the planned " When crossing the river, it was found that there was no ferry at all.
In fact, Roddy's memory is not wrong, but the "time" is wrong - the port he planned to cross the river was created after the cold current froze the whole river in the winter of 1969, and in April of 69, there was no Nothing at all
The key to the implementation of this plan lies in the timing, but because of a slight mistake, Luo Di directly caused the entire team to fail to cross the river bank on time, and it took time to find a more suitable crossing point
If it hadn't been for his quick wit and prompting Nokia to find a shallow water area in the river that could barely cross the river, I'm afraid they wouldn't be able to get here in time until Wellington's troops were caught up.
However, the team that rushed here with all their strength was one step slower. The camp of the Chamber of Commerce was besieged by the enemy, and the main force had to choose to break through... In Rody's eyes, this result only means that his team will suffer a lot of casualties
So he was extremely angry at this time, and he was not at all calm when facing the enemy in front of him. He was manic and only wanted to find a target to vent his inner anger.
In the rear of the carriages in the camp, Henry and others fought and retreated, relying on their weak strength and equipment to resist the enemy's siege, but they obviously couldn't deal with the enemy several times their own, and the remaining dozen or so people had gone back to back Retired to the center of the camp - Buffon's left arm was slashed wide open, the scimitar tied to his right hand with a cloth strip had long since collapsed, and Henry lost his strength in both hands, so he could only hold a shield to stand in for his comrades behind him Blocking the damage, but because of this, he has already been stabbed several times by the sword, and the blood is left along the armor, making his face paler...
"Careful to the left"
Fatty felt that he was going to be unable to hold on anymore, but he still tried his best to remind Buffon and others the direction of defense - they were not afraid of the attacks of different soldiers, but they were most worried about the heavy armored knight holding a long spear charging here. However, just as Henry finished shouting these words, he found that the knight suddenly turned his horse's head, as if preparing to run away
"what happened?"
Their vision was obscured by the surrounding enemies and carriages, and they had no idea what was happening outside, but then the deafening sound of horseshoes shook their spirits instantly——
Suo Deluoer's team broke into the enemy's formation from behind, and charged directly towards the inside of the camp.
The panicked Baal knight stayed here just to suppress the formation, but he never thought that a cavalry force of more than forty people would suddenly charge towards him. He and the dozen or so cavalry who stayed here never thought that such a situation would happen. ? It means that it is too late to form a defensive formation to resist, so the final result can only be to immediately choose to turn around and run away.
He kicked the horse's belly frantically, trying to make the horse speed up and escape from the battlefield. Hearing the sound behind him getting smaller and smaller, he mustered up the courage to turn his head and look: the cavalry in his vision who were charging at the infantry were extremely ferocious. The posture of crushing pushed his subordinates flatly, but one of them suddenly left the team, and even assumed the posture of chasing him alone
The opponent was wearing a leather armor, with a strangely shaped short bow on his back, but there were no arrows in the quiver, so there was obviously no threat... Baer held an epee and sneered at the dangling giant ax in the opponent's hand ——Heavy weapons need to have strength to be able to swing them. How can this kind of skinny guy use a two-handed battle axe?
He continued to gallop on the horse, and after running a hundred meters, Barr realized that he was bound to be overtaken by the opponent wearing heavy armor, so he immediately decided to circle around and turn around to meet the attack, thinking in his heart to get rid of this guy quickly and then Continue to flee to the distance.
He has absolute confidence in his own strength. Of course, this "confidence" is more derived from the heavy armor that Viscount Juan tailored for him. In the battle just now, countless arrows and soldiers' attack companies "broke He couldn't even do "defense", so at this time he didn't believe that an unknown cavalry could do anything to him...
So he started a face-to-face charge towards Roddy.
The gaze behind the heavy helmet was fixed on the opponent's neck. Barr even thought about how to decapitate him with a sword. However, when the two sides approached ten meters, he suddenly found a faint red light blooming from the opponent's body. ——
Roddy gritted his teeth, and simultaneously activated the [Tortoise Shield] and [Magnificent Strike] shared from Nokia
The pain from the head appeared habitually, and along with the severe pain like an electric shock, a force was quickly transmitted to the right arm holding the battle axe, making Rody's arm thicker in an instant.
Due to the special effect of [Tortoise Shell Shield], the surface of the leather armor instantly took on a rocky gray-brown color...
Knight Baal's complexion changed, but it was too late to change his moves at this time, he could only exert his "battle spirit" on the long sword desperately, and made an attack while trying to dodge...
When we meet on a narrow road, the brave wins. The self-confessed brave Barr suddenly felt a trace of fear because of Rody's change, and his momentum suddenly fell into a disadvantage - while Rody's eyes were burning, completely ignoring the opponent's long sword, the battle ax suddenly drew an arc, and swung fiercely out
The skills of riding and fighting are as advanced as swordsmanship. Rody has never been good at fighting on horseback. He does not have advanced skills and a strong body, and he does not even have a solid plate armor as a source of self-confidence.
But what he has... is skill.
The battle ax with red light slashes across, [Great Strike] is not just to increase the damage, but to explode a tyrannical force at the moment the ax blade touches the enemy, directly acting on the opponent's body to achieve " Knockback" effect
"click"
Barr's long sword hit Roddy's chest, but was firmly blocked by the leather armor protected by [Tortoise Shield].
"boom--"
The "Blood Drinker" waved past, the bursting air wave first impacted and deformed the solid plate armor, the protruding armor was instantly sunken, and the ax touched the armor, and then continued to move forward with Baal's body.
His strong body was hit by the battle ax and flew backwards, and because of the huge inertia, his whole body showed an extremely strange angle.
When Rody finished swinging the ax completely, Barr's body twisted, spun, and broke in the middle...
