[At this point I hope readers will remember our domain name Taiwan Novel Network →🆃🆆🅺♦🅽.🅲♦🅼]
The roof covered with cow-hair tarpaulin was broken in an instant, and large pieces of broken tarpaulin flew away like black butterflies. For a moment, the surrounding space of more than ten square meters was filled with these cow-hair tarpaulin fragments, and everyone had a colorful illusion in front of their eyes.
Then the earth shook as if it was shaking. You can clearly imagine in your mind that a pair of strong and powerful legs trampled heavily on the ground, and then suddenly jumped up with the rebound effect.
Duke Allen actually recovered his combat power, not only performing the magic god transformation, but also using the thunder pressure similar to the ultimate move! Strictly speaking, this move was not actually fast, and it was even a bit hasty, but there was no sign beforehand, so the three heroes were not prepared at all.
Duke Allen's thunderbolt was aimed at the person he hated the most, the Punishment Knight Scott, and the power of the center also enveloped Arthur next to Scott. At this time, there was actually a wonderful opportunity. If Scott could counterattack with attack and block Duke Allen's pressure, then Arthur, who had a chance to breathe and respond, would naturally have the opportunity to display his absolute defense to directly resolve Duke Allen's pressure! In this way, Scott would certainly be seriously injured, but Duke Allen would inevitably suffer the backlash of the skill being interrupted halfway, and a huge flaw would appear!
Unfortunately, Scott did not believe in Arthur at all, just as Arthur would not believe that Scott would fight for that few tenths of a second of breathing time for himself. Both of them were sweet-mouthed but treacherous, so how could they unite against the enemy and hand their lives over to each other?
Duke Allen fell heavily to the ground! His huge body smashed a pit in the hard ground, and countless broken stone patterns spread from far to near, from sparse to dense from all directions. Scott, who was the first to be hit, screamed and took a half step back. He finally avoided the vitals, but was still hit on the shoulder by Duke Allen's chain hammer. His hard and flexible dark gold armor suddenly had a deep dent. Just from the terrible dent, you can see the bloody and broken bones inside.
The others wanted to retreat, but another silver-white bullet emitting cold air flew from the side. It didn't hit people, but the ground next to it. Immediately, a large piece of crystal ice formed with the bullet point as the center of the circle, greatly reducing the movement speed of all the enemies around.
Taoist bullet. Freeze!
Strictly speaking, this shot has neither power nor speed. If it were normal, it would at most delay the enemy for one to two seconds. But the timing of this shot was accurate and clever. It was just right. Those who could escape from the range of the thunder pressure in the outer circle could not escape because of this shot, and those in the inner circle were forced to bear the power of the innermost circle of thunder pressure!
It is not difficult to fire this shot, but the difficulty lies in getting the timing of firing this shot. This is very critical, just like a match can usually only be used to light a cigarette, but it can also trigger a powerful bomb that blows up the entire mountain!
After Duke Allen landed, the second stage of the Thunder Pressure Strike was fully revealed, and the cloaks behind the three heroes near the core position burst. Staggering back, as if blown by the strong wind, Allen's giant arm was extremely agile and swept the chain hammer, hitting Arthur next to him. Fortunately, Arthur held his broadsword across his chest. Although most of the power was removed, he was still beaten and spit out a mouthful of blood with a "wow" sound, and flew away.
The surrounding ground was engulfed and burned by the red and white mixed gas energy that emerged like a surging wave around the Thunder Pressure Strike II stage. Even the armor was burned, and the ground around the point where Duke Allen landed seemed to have turned into a vast ocean, forming waves, but the surging waves were mixed red and white, and the range of influence extended to the surrounding area of nearly 70 square meters!
The masked slaves and peasant volunteers screamed wildly, and the red and white energy rushed to their bodies, igniting them into terrifying torches in the affected area. Then they ran around and hugged everything they could hold around them, twitching and falling to the ground and died.
The power of Duke Allen's thunderbolt was so great that it was unusual. As the saying goes, there must be something wrong when things are abnormal, but the three heroes were not the kind of people who had quick wits. Scott, who was scheming, was because he was frightened and in great pain after seeing his former boss, so how could he think of anything else?
Allen did not pursue after his success, and the barbaric dwarf under his command had already rushed up first. Those Johns who had already retreated and fled. Mars and others also gathered their remaining strength to launch a crazy counterattack and chase! In this situation, the three heroes also protected the injured Arthur and ran away for their lives. Even though the farmer volunteers were in high spirits and fearless when they attacked, they were immediately defeated and retreated when they saw their spiritual leader taking the lead in escaping.
At this time, the disadvantage of the mixed forces was revealed. The rebels of Stromgarde had lost their military discipline after rushing into the fortress, and they were burning, killing and looting everywhere. At this time, most people had no idea of the situation ahead and were rushed by the defeated soldiers, so they naturally followed them and fled.
Under the command of the exasperated Scott, they tried their best to regroup, but were rushed by a large number of farmers' volunteers, and were overwhelmed just halfway through. How could they organize an effective offensive? Moreover, Scott saw that Lao Hu, Lao Si, and Lin Yinxiu had quietly taken advantage of the chaos to sneak in. At this time, he could be said to have lost one arm. He couldn't help but feel a little flustered and had no intention of fighting. He could only sigh and escape under cover. He saw that the rebels' determined twelfth attack was driven out of the Dilan Fortress alive by the Jedi counterattack!
John originally thought that he would lose. There were only two consequences for losing the fortress: being killed by the enemy or being executed by the special envoy sent by the angry evil archduke. Unexpectedly, Duke Allen, who was originally seriously injured and unable to move, recovered as before and defeated the enemy with great power. He was so happy that he was about to ask Duke Allen to preside over the fortress defense to relieve his burden, but as soon as he entered the door, he saw Duke Allen was still seriously injured, leaning on the couch and panting tiredly.
It turned out that after staying with Duke Allen, although the wretched Fu could use his Hua Tuo Immortal Master method to replenish Duke Allen's physical value, it was just an illusion, and the injury still existed. Duke Allen had just activated the Demon God Transformation and Thunder Pressure, which had caused his injuries to deteriorate sharply, and his physical strength plummeted. After he used all his strength to use a Thunder Pressure. The physical value has fallen below a thousand points, which is heavier than before!
John's heart was half cold. The three heroes and Scott were injured but not dead. Although they retreated temporarily, they would soon come back. After all, they were really determined to win the Dylan Fortress. There were irreconcilable contradictions between the two. To put it bluntly, it was either you or I! In addition, the rebels formed a total of thirteen joint phalanxes. Although the defeated army rushed dozens of kilometers with the thirteenth joint phalanx, they barely integrated again and came to the fortress again soon after. Fortunately, they did not launch another attack.
Fang Lin suddenly remembered one thing, that is, he did not see the appearance of the great wizard Merlin before, because Fang Lin had not taken action all the time, that is, he deliberately reserved his strength to deal with this wizard who was known as the great sage. His high-concentration compressed fireball was very powerful and had a surface attack damage effect. If he did not block it himself, it would be difficult for others to block it.
The normal order in the fortress was quickly restored. Fang Lin and several core personnel such as John, Mars, and Riley climbed up the wall of the fortress and looked down at the enemy's movements.
"If they attack now, we will definitely not be able to hold on!" Riley said with a pale face.
"They can't attack." Fang Lin said lightly: "Because Arthur's injury and escape have greatly damaged his prestige among the farmers' volunteers, his control over his subordinates has reached the lowest point in history. Although Scott still has control over his subordinates, the remaining ones are the only elites he brought out from Stromgarde! What's the point of being alone after they are all killed here? So they have to rest and wait until King Arthur brainwashes the farmers' volunteers again before launching the next attack."
"I'm wondering, what was Merlin doing at the beginning of the attack?" Fang Lin frowned and thought.
It was already evening, the clouds in the sky were still burning red, and the sun shone back hotly. Obviously, the next day was another sunny day. Mars suddenly said:
"Could it be that Merlin is praying to Apollo, the sun god? If so, he will pray continuously for 24 hours, and bless all the troops with the protection of the sun god at noon tomorrow when the sun is at its brightest!"
Riley took a breath and said:
"It's possible! Merlin may use this trick as the ultimate trump card!"
Fang Lin stroked his chin, pondered in silence, staring at the wide and slightly chaotic square formation below, thinking.
