Chapter 346: Bluebeard's Death
When Nancy stood on the spire of Eagle City, she was shocked beyond words.
She had thought that she had been well prepared, but she still underestimated the scale of 50,000 people.
It was simply a moving town.
There was a clear distinction between horse thieves and pirates.
The horse thieves rode tall horses, wearing heavy armor of different colors and new and old.
They were more numerous, but not in a neat order. In the sparse team, there were flags of various colors with very "distinctive personalities", all kinds of them.
Some were simply rags hung randomly.
The largest number of them was a piece of black cloth splashed with a ball of red dye - that was the sign of the blood eye.
In contrast, the pirates' troops, although fewer in number, were more neat in order, with uniforms, manners, and advances and retreats.
After all, on the sea, if you can't advance and retreat in moderation and cooperate tacitly, you will often end up with a tragic ending of a capsized ship and death.
The pirates' iconic skull flag was flying in their team, and the skull was wearing a blue tricorn hat.
The most eye-catching ones were the lizard pirates.
Their skin was mainly blue and green, covered with fine scales, and they were huge and strong.
Although they stood upright like humans, their legs were anti-jointed structures.
Even though they were covered with plate armor all over their bodies, they did not have hand armor and boots that could fit their webbed hands and feet, and people could clearly see their bones and muscles that were much thicker than those of humans.
As the horn sounded, the infantry pirates launched an attack immediately.
In advance, Nancy ordered the establishment of three lines of defense.
But these simple stone and wood buildings could not resist the impact of the lizard pirates.
How could the militiamen who were temporarily pulled up on the low walls of the defense line have seen such a scene?
To them, the lizardmen were simply demons crawling out of hell.
Whether it was the snake-like vertical pupils, the slender tongue, or the hacksaw-like teeth, they all frightened them.
The claws on the lizardmen's hands and feet were naturally good for climbing; the heavy armor on their bodies, plus the scales underneath, made the crossbows useless.
Amid screams, the first line of defense was lost in less than half an hour.
The militiamen who had been guarding the top and had not received much training could only retreat in a hurry and evacuate to the rear through the troop transport road.
"There is no point in going on like this!" Nancy's face was solemn.
She underestimated the strength of the opponent.
The three temporary defense lines would only cause greater losses to the Eagle Territory's already small population.
"Pass my order, let everyone evacuate immediately!"
"Eagle Eye Guards, organize the people to evacuate to the shelter!"
It must be said that this was a very timely remedial measure.
The militiamen could not cause too much damage to the heavily armored lizardmen soldiers. The only thing that really stopped them was the layers of defense lines.
Facts have proved this point.
Even if the militias quickly retreated through the troop transport road, the defense line blocking the road was still a huge obstacle for the pirates.
And the speed at which they cleared the obstacles on the defense line was no slower than when there were people guarding it.
The lizardman pirates had just cleared the city wall, and the horse thieves in the back couldn't sit still.
Before the pirates could gather their formation, a large number of horse thieves rushed out like diabetic patients, howling and rushing in.
Behind the defense line was Eagle Town.
And at this moment, the evacuation was not yet complete!
Thor, riding on a horse, had heard the deafening sound of horse hooves coming from the earth, and his breathing began to become rapid.
He had grown up in Eagle Town since he was a child, but he had heard too many rumors about horse thieves.
How brutal the horse thieves were, it can be said that they were deeply imprinted in his soul.
It's not too late to evacuate now!
Seeing the panicked civilians not far away, and seeing the Hawkeye Guards' emblem on his body, a determination grew in his heart.
If he abandoned his responsibilities and evacuated now, maybe he could escape punishment with his father's relationship...
But, on the front line, did Hoyaz and the others retreat?
No!
If he ran away, not to mention that he would never be worthy of the Hawkeye Guards' armor again, his future would probably be cut off.
No one, including his father, would look up to him, Thor, anymore!
Not to mention Julia!
"Barek, take 9 followers and build a defense line with me!"
"Others, protect the civilians and retreat!"
Thor grew up in Eagle Town. He was too familiar with the terrain here, and he knew how to use the terrain to create advantages!
In just a few minutes, the roadside trees were cut down, and together with the tables, chairs and benches in the street buildings, they formed a not very solid roadblock, blocking the only way for the horse thieves to come.
Thor led 10 followers to guard behind the roadblock.
As a security force, the followers of the Hawkeye Guards were well-equipped. In addition to swords and spears, each of the 20 followers under the Hawkeye Guards was also equipped with 5 crossbows.
A group of more than ten horse thieves turned the corner, and the leader had a blue beard that could not be covered even by the mask.
Thor's palms were full of cold sweat, because he had seen the bloodstains on the scimitars of those horse thieves.
I'm afraid someone has already met with an accident.
"Get ready..."
Although the entourage of the Hawkeye Guards received training together with the Eagle Army, the training time was relatively shorter, and they almost never used crossbows in actual combat.
Although the crossbow is powerful and can break heavy armor within 20 meters, it is meaningless if it cannot hit the vital points!
As the horses' hooves got closer and closer, Thor could even see the scratches on the opponent's armor through the gaps in the roadblocks.
"Shoot!"
Five crossbows fired crossbow arrows at the same time.
One crossbow arrow flew and sank into the wall.
Two crossbow arrows sank into the chests of two horse thieves, causing them to fall backwards from their horses without even screaming.
The remaining two crossbow arrows were aimed at the leading Bluebeard horse thief.
Just as these crossbow arrows were about to hit his chest, Bluebeard's body was suddenly covered with a layer of bright yellow Douqi armor.
The crossbow arrow shot on it and broke almost instantly, and then the Douqi armor surged like a sea of sand, swallowing up the remains of the crossbow arrow!
Yellow sand fighting spirit, fighting spirit armor!
Thor's pupils shrank: "Is it a second-level extraordinary!?"
"Retreat quickly!!!"
Before he finished speaking, rolling sand and dust had condensed on the scimitar in Bluebeard's hand. He raised the scimitar high and then chopped it down fiercely-
"Desert Sword!"
Buzz
The rolling sand and dust flew out of his hand, tearing the ground wherever it passed. The yellow sand that was originally used as part of the roadbed was squeezed out and gushed out, and then mixed with the yellow sand fighting spirit.
It turned into a yellow sand blade that became stronger and stronger!
Bang! ! !
The yellow sand blade hit the roadblock and cut the roadblock almost instantly.
Trunks, wood and even the iron nails inside were turned into powder under the squeezing and grinding of the yellow sand.
The huge impact force directly threw Thor up and even made him lose consciousness for a short time.
When he came to his senses again, he saw that the roadblock had completely disappeared, and almost all of his followers fell under the butcher knives of the horse thieves.
Blood was flowing all over the ground.
Thor struggled to touch the Eagle Feather Sword at his waist without time to be afraid.
Eagle Eye Guard, you can't die without fighting!
Snap.
The sound of boots hitting the ground sounded, Bluebeard dismounted and walked in front of Thor:
"Where is Snow Chicken?"
As he spoke, he lifted his visor, revealing a hideous face.
A terrible scar ran from his forehead to the bridge of his nose, piercing his right eye, with only a shriveled depression under his eyelid.
The wound seemed to have just appeared, and a trace of pink swelling could be seen at the healing site.
This was Blood Eye's punishment for Bluebeard, because he not only failed to persuade Snow Chicken, but let him run away, allowing Eagle City to prepare.
"Oh, you may not be familiar with the name Snow Chicken, but he has another name, 'Bent'."
Thor looked at Bluebeard coldly. At this moment, he was surprisingly calm:
"I don't know where Bent is. Even if I know, I won't tell you."
He brought back the correct news, but no one paid attention to his intelligence because Bent had surrendered to the bandits.
If it weren't for Mrs. Nancy's strong opposition and sufficient preparation, Thor could not imagine what kind of disaster the Eagle Leader would suffer.
In the end, Bent had to use his death to wash away the stigma on his body.
With Bent's previous experience, Thor would never surrender to a group of bandits.
"You are a tough guy." Bluebeard smiled coldly, and the scimitar in his hand slowly moved down:
"I just don't know if you can still be so hard if I break your bones bit by bit!"
Thor snorted coldly: "Come on, if I frown, you win!"
The scimitar fell, and Thor's muscles suddenly tightened, and his breathing stopped.
Ding——
The scimitar suddenly swung away.
Bluebeard took a few steps back and looked around in doubt. Before he could stand firm, a nimble figure suddenly pounced on him!
A dense series of ding-ding-dang-dang sounds rang out.
Compared to Bluebeard, that figure was quite short, and his fighting spirit was only a thin layer attached to the blade.
Even his speed was not necessarily faster than Bluebeard.
Please...collect 6...books...!
But the figure's skills were really amazing, and he always placed himself on the right side of Bluebeard.
Bluebeard, who had lost his right eye, found it difficult to accurately capture the figure's movements.
The long sword was used as swiftly as a dagger, and the offensive was like a storm, constantly surrounding Bluebeard's vital points, making him exhausted from defending.
The figure stabbed again with a sword, and Bluebeard's head turned away, turning the blade to parry, blocking the long sword attack.
The long sword changed its momentum, from stabbing to slashing, rushing towards Bluebeard's throat, forcing Bluebeard to turn his wrist and turn the scimitar to push away the long sword.
But immediately the opponent's knee was raised and pressed between his chest and abdomen, making him groan and step back two steps. Before he could stand completely, the long sword was about to pierce his face!
"Get out of here!!!"
No longer caring about being stingy with his fighting spirit, Bluebeard roared, and the fighting spirit in his body exploded violently. A ball of yellow sand storm spurted out of his mouth, blowing off the trajectory of the sword.
Bluebeard seized the opportunity and swung his sword at the long sword, but the long sword that should have lost control suddenly retracted, causing him to cut into the air with his sword!
And he was finally able to see the appearance of the attacker.
"How could it be...?" Bluebeard's face was filled with doubt, confusion, surprise, and a hint of greed and lust.
It was a relatively short woman, only about 1.65 meters overall, wearing the iconic armor of the Eagle Eye Guard.
Her face is delicate and delicate, with a hint of childishness, and she looks like she is 15 or 6 years old.
Now after a battle, sweat appeared on her forehead and her messy hair stuck to her face, exuding a temptation that made people want to hold her in their arms and ravage her.
The most attractive thing is her figure.
It was so full, bulging, and surging that even the breastplate could no longer hold it, and overflowed from the edge of the armor.
The cloth under the armor was soaked with sweat and clung to the soft roundness.
Bluebeard, who has experienced many battles, can see at a glance that there is simply no room for it in one hand!
Excellent!
The opponent who just fought against him and suppressed him for a time turned out to be such a woman!
Bluebeard smiled:
"May I have your name?"
"A mere horse thief doesn't deserve to know." Julia lowered her wrist slightly and assumed a standard lower sword stance.
"That's such a pity." Bluebeard's body was full of fighting spirit: "Your swordsmanship is indeed terrifying. You can be said to be the most talented person I have ever seen in my life."
"If I give you 10 years, then you may really become a famous female swordsman in the mainland, and it is even possible to start your own sect."
"But you are too young and don't know how to seize the opportunity."
"Maybe it's because of that little guy, right?"
"If you wait for my scimitar to fall to the ground before attacking, maybe I will really hate you when I see your swordsmanship for the first time."
"But now, you don't have that chance!"
The fighting energy of the yellow sand spurted out from Blue Beard's body, and the earth suddenly stirred up like a boiling porridge pot.
Just as Julia was about to move, she found that her feet had been firmly bound by quicksand!
"Prison of Quicksand."
Bluebeard raised his scimitar and walked towards Julia step by step: "It will not only fix your feet, but over time, it will also slowly swallow you, eliminate your flesh and blood, and wear away your bones." ”
"And if you try to break free now, it will use greater force to crush your tender feet!"
"You should be lucky that I am a gentleman and will not let women experience too much pain."
Bluebeard licked his lips, his eyes filled with undisguised desire, as if he wanted to peel Julia apart from head to toe.
"However, you still have a choice. Surrender to me now. I promise that you will only become my woman!"
Julia felt sick.
She had come into contact with the women Raven had brought down from the bloody heights, the poor people who had been ravaged by horse thieves.
They are still unable to communicate with any man, and even friendly help will make them scream.
Occasionally, Julia also saw their scarred bodies. Many scars were imprinted on the most sensitive and private parts of women.
"Bah!" A spittle stuck to Blue Beard's face.
"I will remember that you left me this last memory!" Bluebeard wiped the saliva on his palm and put it into his mouth: "Now, go to hell!"
The blade waved.
Julia mentioned the Eagle Feather Sword. She was not ready to give up. Even if she had to give up her feet, she would not wait to die here!
"ah--"
A roar came from behind her ears, and Julia suddenly felt her feet move, and her whole body was squeezed out of the sand by a huge force!
Thor's body appeared at Julia's feet. His armor had been twisted by the yellow sand, and his hands and feet were broken and deformed, covered in blood.
But there was a hint of fanaticism in his eyes: "Come on! Julia!!"
Julia handed over the sword in her hand.
All this happened in the blink of an eye, and Bluebeard couldn't react in time.
The way he swung the sword was to imagine that Julia was tied up in place, and subsequent offensive and defensive changes were based on this.
But now, with the help of Thor, Julia moved 30 centimeters to the left.
It also left a gap of less than 5 centimeters in Blue Beard's original defensive line.
For Julia, that was enough.
The Eagle Feather Sword was wrapped in the chaotic void fighting spirit, passed under Bluebeard's wrist, pierced his fighting spirit armor, penetrated from his open mouth, and came out from the back of his head!
"..."
The earth returned to calm, and the yellow sand fighting energy on Blue Beard's body instantly disintegrated, and blood mixed with saliva flowed down his mouth.
Clang.
The scimitar fell to the ground.
Bluebeard rolled his eyes with difficulty, swept across Julia, and landed on the almost half-disabled Thor.
Could it be that the people of the Eagle Leader...
Aren't you afraid of death?
Boom!
The Eagle Feather Sword was retracted, and Bluebeard's body fell to the ground.
Julia gasped slightly, but did not relax.
Although her retinue formed a formation and could barely resist Bluebeard's horse thieves, more horse thieves were coming from all directions at this moment.
The battle continued. The eagle feather sword in Julia's hand kept dancing and adjusting her pace, killing the incoming horse thieves one by one.
Even though she has become extraordinary, even though her swordsmanship is good, she is still increasingly unable to cope with the seemingly endless horse thieves and the need to protect the seriously injured Thor.
The sword was as sharp as an eagle's feather, but it was too dull to be used even after killing 11 horse thieves.
She could only pick up the horse thief's weapon and continue fighting.
The sun gradually rose to the sky.
During this period, Thor also shouted to her to leave, but Julia was still killing the enemy.
She set a bottom line for herself, that is, to save the strength for the last two swords.
One sword for Thor, one for herself, so as not to be tortured by the horse thieves.
Suddenly.
A row of crossbow arrows shot over her head, instantly knocking down a row of horse thieves not far away.
The pressure was fading.
A team of heavily armored soldiers rushed up, repelled the horse thieves, and protected her firmly.
"Little girl, you are amazing, so good at fighting!" A man's voice appeared: "But there is no tactics at all."
Julia turned her head and was shocked:
"... Baron Judela!? Why are you here?!"
...
