Chapter 41
A huge statue with flames slammed down like a meteor less than two meters away from me. The sharp tip of the spear in the statue's hand was only an inch away from my handsome nose. Feeling the hot air in front of me, I couldn't help swallowing. I moved back twice to see the size and depth of the "crater" on the ground. It's not difficult to imagine what the consequences would be if this thing hit a person.
The "cannonball" in front of me looked very familiar. Although its head and one arm were missing and it was burnt black, I could still tell that it should be the statue of the goddess Athena that decorated near the gate of the Rose Garden.
Obviously, this "goddess" that almost crushed me was launched from some large throwing device. It seems that our Rose Knights are really talented. When did they come up with such treasures? In my impression, this kind of powerful war machine probably appeared for the first time in "Magic Flag".
With the "coming" of this "Goddess of Wisdom", more "gods" were cast out on both sides of the north gate of the Rose Garden. Athena's father, Zeus, did a front flip and fell headfirst into the team of archers. When he landed, he dropped the stone lightning in his hand and easily pierced an archer who was still rejoicing. The beautiful Miss Venus, who was worthy of being a nymphomaniac goddess, came up with a "passionate" "hug" and used her extraordinary weight to knock down four handsome elf warriors on the spot. In fact, in this "descent of the gods", the coolest one should be the sun god Apollo. He came out in a chariot, but his chariot was obviously of poor quality. It disintegrated in the air halfway through the flight. The people pulling the chariot and the people sitting in the chariot immediately "went their separate ways". Several war horses dragged the shafts and rushed into the human position on the left wing happily, while the angry Apollo carried two wheels by himself and "strolled " among the silver oak leaf wizard team, making them fall to the ground.
It was probably the first time for my sisters to use this kind of catapult, and almost all the projectiles were "gods" on the spot. Because the "ammunition" was in irregular shapes, the trajectory of the projectiles was very varied, high, low, spiral, and I even saw Hades, dressed in a black robe, dancing a "minuet" and jumping out in an S-shaped trajectory.
Well, is this considered blasphemy? I heard that such behavior is usually punished by angels. But the one flying upside down in the air now seems to be Michael, right? Sweat!
In fact, the damage caused by these poor gods was not very great, and they only hit a few unlucky people at a time, but the sudden "instant kill" attack and the exaggerated visual effect of huge rocks flying all over the sky almost caused chaos to all the attacking troops on the battlefield. Who has ever seen this before? Even if you are hit by more than a dozen arrows at once, you are much luckier than being hit by these deadly stone statues. It is quite fresh to watch the "aerial performance" flying around, but it is not so fun if the "performer" steps on your head. Everyone loves pie falling from the sky because pie is delicious, but if it is a big stone statue falling from the sky, you are a fool if you don't run away. This thing is basically made of pie, and it is a fresh "human pie". Although it is normal to die in a team battle, it is really embarrassing to die by being crushed by a big stone statue.
I seized the opportunity and blended into the crowd. I changed my face several times and easily got rid of the drowning fish. It seems that the assassination and the unexpected stone statue attack by my sister and her friends have caused some trouble for the command of these elves. The formation of Silver Oak Leaf has been a little deformed. Some people are obviously too far forward to avoid the flying stone statues and lack of command. As a result, they pulled the entire battle line into the magic attack range of our Rose Mage in a panic.
In a group battle, since the defenders have the advantage of the height of the city wall, the range of the long-range troops is longer than that of the attackers. Both the attackers and defenders now know this. Therefore, after the battle, the oak leaves have been carefully keeping their distance to avoid the large-scale magic attacks of our mages. However, a series of accidents actually made them make such a mistake of sending themselves to be beaten. The rose mages who were watching the show immediately cheered up and threw out a large number of tsunamis without hesitation, giving a generous gift to all the leaves that entered the range. Even if the attack power of the tsunami is not as strong as that of the hurricane barrier, in this situation, the effect of freezing is obviously much better than blowing back. Moreover, because the tsunami can be used at level 28, the double-leaf and three-leaf roses on the city wall almost opened fire across the board.
For a moment, a blue light flashed under the city, and hundreds of cavalrymen and archers standing in the front row were instantly frozen into ice sculptures. The rose archers and NPC guards on the city wall were very experienced in shooting these "fixed targets". So, after the blue light , there was a dense rain of arrows, and those unfortunate ice sculptures turned into light spots before they could thaw. In just a few minutes, both Oak Leaf Knights lost a large number of combatants, and the intensity of the attack on the north gate of the Rose Garden immediately weakened.
"Crazy man, those elf knights have just cleared the teleportation station and are now rushing towards you. Haha, strange things happen every year, but this year there are more of them. So many high-level elf knights are actually mercenaries of your Rose. You will see a spectacular scene in a while, so stay away and don't hurt those cute hooves of the unicorns." The secret message of the beautiful fruit came again.
What is this girl talking about? I was running around in the crowd and attacking, muttering to myself, is there such a good thing? More than a thousand elf mercenaries above level 40? Who signed it? It seems that Jianjia Cangcang is not so high-handed? In a territory, only four officers are qualified to sign the employment agreement besides the lord. My sister and the fairy are gathering the troops for the counterattack. My sister-in-law and Jianjia Cangcang are still commanding the defense on the city wall. Now that four of the five people have been eliminated, only my dear wife is left. Oh my, she is worthy of being the princess. She brought back more than a thousand high-grade canned goods at once. It really shows the appeal of the royal brand. It is really a big deal.
Only a few minutes later, the commanders of Oak Leaf were still frantically re-adjusting their battle lines. Along with the shaking of the earth, the spectacular scene that the little fox had described appeared in the north of the battlefield. The unicorns as white as snow, the spears as cold as forests, and the elven knights, lined up in neat formations, rushed towards the battlefield with irresistible momentum.
For a moment, the strong shock made both sides in the battle stunned, and no one could figure out who these people were. But soon, the rose flag fluttering in the wind made all the girls on the walls of the Rose Garden scream excitedly. So many high-level elven knights turned out to be reinforcements of a human knight group, and the many human warriors on the battlefield were strangely helping to attack a human city. This funny scene was an interesting irony for both sides of the battle.
"Poseidon Formation! All-out attack!" With a familiar cry, the running team gradually divided into several triangles. The knights in the front row neatly laid down their spears, and when they approached the target, they all launched the charge skill at the same time.
I remember the princess once told me that everyone has a misunderstanding now. They all think that the knights in "Magic Flag" are only suitable for defense and are basically a meat shield role. But she doesn't think so. In her opinion, the real value lies in attack, especially when a team of level 40 knights launch a group charge, no profession can compete with them.
Today, I finally saw the great power of her knight attack theory. Facing an enemy that was nearly five times their number, these high-level elven knights were like a few knives cutting through butter, easily cutting the big cake of Tianxia Yifa from the back into pieces. Facing the knights' fanatical charge, whether it was the fragile mages, archers, or the Taoist priests and warriors known as the main force of the infantry, all resistance seemed so powerless. Under the iron hoof of the unicorn, any organized formation would be crushed to pieces.
In this situation, the triangular formation of about 100 people perfectly exerted the attack power of all the knights. All the targets in front of them were constantly knocked away, picked up, and pierced. The main force of the gold and silver oak leaves were originally mages and archers, who were long-range attack professions. Now these tin cans unexpectedly rushed into the middle and mixed them up, and they were immediately blown up. Even an idiot knows what will happen if a mage uses a walking stick to fight a fully armed knight. So soon, these elven knights killed each other in the middle of the scattered oak leaves. Relying on the cover of the city wall, the excited knights regrouped a little and turned around to prepare to launch a new attack again.
In the past, I only saw these mages and archers throwing things at me from behind. Today, I finally got a chance to take revenge. Damn it, killing people also increases my experience points. Where can I find such a good thing...
After confirming the identities of the Elf Knights, the sisters took advantage of the situation and launched the last batch of "cannonballs" at the already chaotic Oak Leaves before they "went crazy" for the second time. Then, the city gates opened wide, and all the senior melee members in the Rose Garden came out in droves. What tactics were there at this time? The opponents were in a mess. Everyone followed the Elf Knights and happily launched a counterattack against the dizzy enemies.
Although the number of people in the Rose Group was small, they were all "high-quality" and they managed to draw a draw with the nearly collapsed Gold and Silver Oak Leaves. Strength in numbers is not always effective. In today's group battle, both the attackers and defenders have lost their sense of duty and simply squeezed together to fight. After several charges by the princess and her friends, 90% of the Oak Leaf mages and archers were killed, and the rest were running for their lives. Seeing this, the fairy cat sisters couldn't help but lead a lot of mages and archers down the city wall and began to pick up the advantage at close range, and they also called it: supporting the battle. The cat lady stood on her sturdy turret and danced with joy, and she was just short of pulling a banner to shout "Come on!"
The number of people on the battlefield gradually decreased, so the masters of both sides soon met. The first person to encounter the drowning fish was his old enemy Jianjia Cangcang. Both of them were good archers, and they were originally from the same knight order. They knew each other well. The two honors shot their bows at the same time. Although they didn't hit each other for a while, their companions were all in trouble. The arrows were shot without return, and whoever was hit was unlucky. Thirty seconds later, all the people who were still breathing around the two archers ran away.
The leader of the Silver Oak Leaf Knights, Mr. Tianxia Yifa, who had been standing at the back, was ready to retreat when he saw the current situation. However, a certain cat was obviously very interested in him and kept chasing him and greeting him with magic, which made him furious. Just as he was about to turn around and teach that ungrateful woman a lesson, three despicable Qingshuang swords pierced him from behind. The last thing the unfortunate Mr. Tianxia heard was the laughter of a certain Firebird Taoist priest offering treasures.
On the other side of the battlefield, Sister A Zi's Heavenly Tribulation Purple Cloud Sword flew up and down, chasing after a handsome Golden Oak Leaf leader and slashing fiercely, killing the bridge-breaker who was crossing the river and crying out in pain. Hmm? You asked me how she knew who the leader of the Golden Oak Leaf was? You are really a rookie. Of course, I, Yan, kindly pointed it out to you. The bridge-breaker is also an elf knight. Let Sister A Zi's "screwdriver" open this beautifully packaged "canned food box". The dragon teeth of us thieves are not very strong.
Originally, Miss Jingying had been following her brother who was crossing the river, but in order to prevent her from disturbing the "communication" between Sister A Zi and the handsome guy, when she passed by me, I unethically kicked her plump buttocks hard, and then a certain beauty flew out with a sharp "alarm sound". Coincidentally, before the lady performed the flat sand falling swallow style, an elf knight unexpectedly caught her. However, when the knight saw who the "flying crossbow" in his arms was, he didn't wait for Miss Jingying to thank him, and his hands loosened, and plop! The poor buttocks of the beautiful Jingying were hit again and fell firmly to the ground.
"You, how could you be like this!" You are so unkind to women. Jingying rubbed the wound angrily and stood up shakily.
"Oh? Then what do you say I should do?" The princess slowly pulled open the visor of her helmet and looked at the indignant person sarcastically.
"It's you!" Jingying gnashed her teeth and said word by word. People say that enemies are particularly jealous when they meet, and now the man in front of the princess has a red face, "Go to hell!" Well, it's better to act than to think, pull out the hot-blooded song, and chop it first.
The princess gently turned aside to avoid the crystal blade, and the Elf War Song in her hand swept and swept, "Ugh!" The overconfident female warrior immediately fell back to my feet with serious injuries. Because I had been pretending to be a member of the Golden Oak Leaf, the angry Crystal did not notice who kicked her just now. I saw her grabbing my arm and yelling: "You, what are you watching? Help me cut people, I will reward you with a thousand gold coins when I go back!"
"Okay." I patted her shoulder with a smile, used the stealing technique three times in a row, and then the black mist flashed and returned to its original appearance.
"Yeah! It's you again!" Jingying stared at the face-changing trick in front of her in amazement. After she reacted, she found that the passionate song in her hand had disappeared.
"Yes, it's me again. Thank you for your gift. Take care and we welcome you next time..." The despicable thief shook the spoils in his hand, raised his right hand slightly, and shot an arrow that turned the poor victim into a spot of light.
"Seriously, you are too wicked, aren't you?" The princess looked at me with amusement and poked me with her hand: "Don't you say that you can rob people of their wealth but not their lives?"
"Then can I continue to rape you now?" Hearing that, I put my mouth towards the princess's pretty face with a pig-like look on my face.
Bang! An inappropriate shield hit my enthusiastic face, "You big pervert..." The beautiful lady laughed and scolded from behind the shield.
"Okay, come with me now. I need to borrow your delicate hand." I rubbed my sore nose and inadvertently glanced at a grinning wizard standing by the woods in the distance.
"Do you still need help?" Mr. Painkillers looked at the two people approaching and nodded towards the distant place where a fierce battle was still going on. There were still thirteen minutes left for the team battle to end, so he really came "just in time".
"What do you think?" I stared at him with ill intent. Damn it, if my wife hadn't unexpectedly brought back a batch of high-quality "canned goods" today, Qiangwei might have been kicked out successfully.
"You didn't say on the phone that someone had come to Qiangwei's house." The gangster leader of the Liuyun Knights walked out of the woods, looked at me cunningly, and then his eyes turned and said, "Hey, who is the beauty with this mark? Won't you introduce her to me?" This guy was talking to me, but his eyes were fixed on the princess beside me.
"Hello, I am holy, a serious elder, and I am very happy to see you." The unscrupulous leader extended his hand to the princess very gentlemanly.
"Elders, stop cheating people to death." I slapped Mr. Saint's "wolf claws" away, pulled the princess behind me, and threatened with a "ferocious" face: "Are you here to speak after the fact? In fact, even if Rose is really ruined, with my sister's personality, she would not add anything to you. Next time you play this trick, be careful or I will tell her directly."
"Haha, don't say that. When have I ever done such a thing? Ah? Hahaha..." Someone's fake giggles were heard.
"Really? But how could those two Elf Knights, who were unfamiliar with the place, magically hire so many humans to help fight the group battle?" Do they think we are all fools? Tsk, this smiling guy in front of me, who seems harmless, is actually an old villain with a long criminal record...
"Really, this is not my doing. I didn't expect this to happen. I prepared for a long time, so I came late." Shengjie's face was serious. "There is probably something fishy about this matter. I will go back and check it out."
"Not you? That's strange." Who would go against us? The two Oak Leaves were able to hire so many humans today, so someone must have secretly helped. Now that the most likely guy has denied it, I can't help but murmur, "Then what are you doing here now? Cleaning up the battlefield?"
"Isn't there a beautiful Tianpeng Territory next door? My brother and I just want to go for a stroll." Shengjie said lightly.
"Fuck! Are you crazy? Do you really want to go to war with the Northern Alliance?" Take a stroll? It's easy to say, but his way of strolling is very unethical. Tianpeng Territory is still a territory of the Northern Alliance after all. How can he, the great lord of Shenwei Prison, just go to the door like this? I thought he would use a more "creative" method.
"So I came to you first. Can't you just sign a contract of employment with me? We can be Rose's mercenaries." Painkillers on the side immediately said with a grin, "Besides, we have a territory next to the Rose Garden, isn't it convenient for everyone..." Convenient at all? Is it convenient for some immortal cockroach to steal the fragrance and jade? Immortal, these two brothers really think about it!
"I knew it. When I saw fourth brother's little white teeth, I knew it was no good. Let's make a deal first. The full commission is one magic coin." I looked at the two of them with a headache. They are worthy of being my brothers. The ideas of these two wolves were exactly as I expected. God knows how my sister will react when she understands it.
"Damn it! You're too cruel, aren't you? One magic coin? Do you think it's a letter?" The two screamed together.
"Agree or not, just say it." I ignored them. Not charging them backwards was already a gesture of friendship. I opened the secret message to the princess who was watching the fun behind me and asked her to sign a contract for the Liuyun Knights. "How many people do you want to write?" I asked casually. I wondered how many people they had prepared to rob the marshal's shack.
"Not many." Shengjie smiled slightly, "Only 35,000 people."
"What!" The princess and I looked at the pervert with an idiotic smile in surprise. No wonder he said he had been preparing for a long time.
