Chapter 2: Fight in the Desert



The first Nord Royal Guard fell. After he killed five red guards, the sharp scimitar finally cut his neck. There was no protective gear on his fragile neck, which was their only weakness now.

The second Nord Royal Guard also fell down. His armor had been cut by the sharp scimitar. The scimitar that ended his life stabbed into his stomach. His intestines were stirred by the scimitar, and then he vomited blood. The Red Guards seized this opportunity, attacked from both sides, and killed this Nord Royal Guard.

The Red Guards have this kind of fearless spirit, not only possessed by the Red Guards, but also by the Nord Royal Guards.

Even though several Nord Royal Guards had fallen in the front, the remaining group of Nord Royal Guards still charged forward fearlessly.

The two sides killed each other and the corpses were scattered all over the ground. On the side, Wals and Falvia did not seem to pay attention to what was happening. Even though their soldiers fell one after another, they only focused on the present.

In fact, their soldiers were constantly dying, and they all saw it, but they all knew that only by killing the man in front of them could they end it all. If they wanted to reduce the bleeding of their soldiers, they needed to quickly get rid of the opponent in front of them. The two men had fought for more than a hundred rounds, and the sound of their weapons colliding was endless, like a waterfall in the sky, forming a unique metal music in the dark night.

But I believe that not many people are willing to appreciate this piece of music. As time goes by, the speed of Falvia's spear gradually slows down. Because of many fights, the physical strength of the two people begins to gradually disappear. The speed of Falvia's spear has begun to slow down, but isn't the speed of Walls the same?

This scene also happened to Rackman, Amirida and others in various places on this battlefield. Time was passing and the outcome would soon be decided.

Phew!

The sound of swords piercing through flesh and blood filled the dark night, and the nearby Sarand rebels seemed a little shocked.

"ah!"

Joels shouted as a huge sword hit his shoulder. Although he was wearing solid armor, the powerful force of the owner of the huge sword still cut the blade into the flesh of his shoulder. His right shoulder felt like it was burned by fire, and blood kept gushing out of the wound.

However, his opponent was spitting out large mouthfuls of blood.

"How dare you... do this!"

The warrior with iron rings on his hands chopped Joels' shoulder with his giant sword, but at the same time, his blood spurted from his mouth onto his hands, and his iron rings were dyed blood red, with Joels' blood in them, but more of it was his own blood.

With a look of disbelief on his face, he slowly moved his head downwards, only to see that Joels's sword had pierced his chest. Even though he was wearing heavy armor, his sword still penetrated the armor and pierced into his flesh, causing great damage to his body.

His meaning gradually began to become unclear.

"No...it shouldn't have been like this."

He spat out another mouthful of blood, and his body began to go limp. All he could hear was Joels's voice.

"You are a strong opponent, but unfortunately you are still a little short. My sword has pierced your chest."

With fear and unwillingness on his face, the giant sword warrior fell down. He was originally a capable and brave general under the rebel lord, but he did not expect that he would fall here at this time.

Joels used his right shoulder to kill the greatsword warrior, which was beyond the greatsword warrior's expectation. However, it had already happened. The rebels around the greatsword warrior were panicked, and the morale of the Sarranid soldiers was greatly boosted. They chased and killed the Sarranid rebels nearby. At the same time, the Nord warriors had a greater fighting spirit. The death of the enemy general inspired the fighting spirit of this group of soldiers.

Falvia and Walls were also paying attention to everything that happened on the battlefield here.

This was not a good thing for Falvia, but fortunately, what happened next turned the defeat around.

Somewhere on the city wall, a general who had no outstanding features and was holding a Sarranid sword had already stabbed his sword into Manid's left leg. Manid covered his left leg, and the sword was already pressing on his neck.

All the swordsman needed to do was to slightly twist his sword, and Manid would soon face death.

"Unfortunately, my companion has just died under the sword of your companion, but now the situation is reversed. I'm sorry, I don't want to bring more deaths."

He seemed to be a good man, at least his statement showed that he hated war. Then he raised his sword slightly, ready to behead Manid. But at this moment, a sharp blade stabbed directly at her. If the warrior did not move her body, she would be hurt by the blade. In order to avoid bleeding, she twisted her body and left her original position.

That is how Manid was saved from death. Several Nord warriors around Manid came to help him and wanted to rescue him from the battlefield. After all, he was one of the commanders under Wals, and Wals didn't want to see his death. Several other Nord warriors covered Manid because many Sarand rebels had surrounded him. The one who stepped forward to save Manid was Shuangsha, who had worked under King Griffus.

The warrior who was fighting against Double Kill then rushed to Double Kill. At this time, Double Kill had to face the attacks of two people at the same time. Fortunately, Joels had defeated his opponent. Although his shoulder was injured, he still stepped forward to help Double Kill.

But Joels would not reach his destination so easily. A long iron rod suddenly appeared in front of Joels. Joels stopped and saw the face of the person coming.

His opponent was originally Hogarth, a subordinate of Walls, but Joels looked left and right and could not find Hogarth. It was obvious that the general in front of him who was using an iron stick had already defeated Hogarth.

"The opponent you fought with? Have you killed him?"

Joels asked. After all, Hogarth was also Walls's subordinate, and he was also his companion. He didn't want to see Hogarth's death at all.

"He was only half dead! I knocked him off the city wall, but unfortunately he didn't go outside. I didn't take a closer look to see if he was dead or not. But now you have killed one of my companions. Blood debt must be paid with blood. Let me be your opponent."

She swung the iron rod in her hand, which was about 4/5 of the height of an adult. As she swung the iron rod in her hand, a whirring sound came over. Joels could see that his iron rod was covered with thick blood, which was most likely Hogarth's blood.

This is a brutal war!

Wals did not suffer such heavy losses when he fought against King Graves. At least the generals under his army were not fatally injured. But now, Manide is seriously injured and Hogarth's life or death is unknown.

Just as Joels was about to fight this iron-stick general, a voice came from behind him.

"Mr. Joles, leave this to me. Go and rescue Manid. Hogarth has been rescued by Mr. James. You can go without any worries."

Joels looked back and saw Bandak appear behind Joels with his shield and long sword.

Bandak is good at shooting with crossbows, but may not be very good at close combat. If Bandak is allowed to deal with the enemy general in front of him, it is still unknown who will win or lose.

However, Bandak gave Joels a look that said "I believe you". Joels understood and stopped chasing.

Joels ran very fast. He didn't even look back at Bandak, but he believed that Bandak would be able to defeat the opponent in front of him.

General Iron Stick looked at the new opponent that appeared before him, and he looked down on Bandak.

"Another one coming to die?" The Iron Rod General said this without any mercy, which obviously angered Bandak in front of him. He held the shield in his left hand and waved the long sword in his right hand, rushing forward like an ordinary soldier.

A fierce battle broke out again.

Joels ran very fast. This time, no one stood in his way. He soon ran to where Manid was. He had been rescued by several Nord warriors. Several Sarand rebels in front of him had been killed by Joels. He looked at Manid who was in pain, gave him a comforting look, and continued to fight the enemy on the wall. At this time, another woman in Wals's hand had also stepped onto the battlefield.

凯瑟琳用的一把普通的大刀,双杀和凯瑟琳紧密配合着,他们面对的对手分别是使用萨兰德长剑的将领和一个使用两把弯刀的将领。双杀原本是和那一个使用双持武器的将领对战在一起的,而凯瑟琳则继承马尼德的位置,继续对战那一个手拿着长剑的将领。

乔尔斯跑到战场之后,发现自己这一方已经严重处于劣势了,不为其他的,凯瑟琳只能勉强上战场而已,他并没有马蒂尔德那样强劲的体魄,但是几十年来的行军生涯还是给予了他一定的战斗经验,也就仅仅能够在那名敌将的手下过个几招。不多时,她身上穿戴的皮甲就破了好几个口子,同时也有一些不深不浅的伤口。渗出鲜血的伤口随着时间的推移在他身上越来越多。

这样下去是不行的。

乔尔斯也不多话,忍着自己身上的伤痛加入了战斗当中,他手中的大剑猛地挥向了那一名敌将,但是他感知能力超乎常人,手中的长剑扭过一个奇异的弧度回手便挡住了乔尔斯的攻击,两把剑刃一经碰撞,震动的力度立刻通过手臂传到了乔尔斯的肩膀上面。

“啊!”

乔尔斯发出了一声虚弱的叫声,这说明他的肩膀有让她难以忍受的疼痛。

“既然已经身受重伤了,为何还要执意踏上战场?”

这名将领对乔尔斯说到,他的脸上带着一种肃静,仿佛这句话是在劝告乔尔斯不要再踏上战场的。现在他只是一个伤员。

乔尔斯咬着牙,他眼中迸发出悍不畏死的勇气。这已经说明了他并不会因为自己肩膀上面的伤口而有任何的退缩。

“敌人还没有完全的消灭,我就不能够退下战场。”

“好!你很有骑士精神!可是我不会有任何的心慈手软,因为你是一个值得尊敬的对手。”

“谢了!”

乔尔斯回过头,对着凯瑟琳说道:“你就暂时先退下吧,马尼德霍格思已经身受重伤了,他需要有人能够照顾他们,这里就由我来应对。”

凯瑟琳虽然十分不愿,但他也知道留在这里并不能帮上什么忙,因此在得到乔尔斯的指示之后,就立刻退了下去。

临走的时候他看了一眼乔尔斯身上的伤口,不知道这道伤口是否会阻碍着他战胜他的敌人。

乔尔斯在这一次战斗当中又一次参加了战斗。在旁边的双杀和他的对手,也已经打得热火朝天,两个人依旧是不分上下,虽然说之前的时候,这一名双持战士因为一个漏洞暂时让双杀逃离开了和他的战斗范围,使得双杀能够去营救马尼德,这不得不说是双持战士将领的一次最大的败笔。

“不错的战士,和我一样使用的双持武器,现在没有人再来打扰你和我的战斗了,很快我们将分出胜负。”

双持将领这样说道,双杀似乎没听见他说话一样,依然是那一副严阵以待的表情。

这样的表情出现在战场的各处,杰克的对手,抡起大斧准备直劈他的脑门,不过可惜他的速度慢了一节,杰克躲过了这一次攻击。

钉头锤破开空气呼呼作响,雷萨里特灵敏的身手躲开了他的攻击。

另一方面,艾雷恩的对手,手中拿着手半剑和盾牌,尽管说这一套武器在大陆上面并不是什么特别的组合,几乎任何一名骑士都会掌握这一套组合的攻击方式,但是,眼前的对手却是攻击力,并且动作滴水不漏,与人交战的过程当中没有丝毫的破绽。

城墙的最北边,一个身穿着黑袍,拿着匕首的将领正在和克雷斯对战,这一名将领的打扮倒像是一个刺客而不是一个冲锋陷阵的勇士,在他们身边萨兰德叛军和沃尔斯的手下都给他们空出了一定的空间,匕首虽然短小,但是挥动的速度极其快,克雷斯拿着他的武器同样短小的一把短刀,这名刺客模样的将领面对克雷斯不停的发出一阵怪笑,仿佛想以此来影响克雷斯的观察。

不过,克雷斯倒是没有受到影响,反而更加集中注意力和对付眼前的这个怪人。

在他们的不远处,一把明晃晃的军用镰刀,不停的向下斩击着,在他面前的是沃尔斯手下的另外一位将领尼扎,尼扎使用的一把弯刀,已经被军用镰刀给砍出了几个口子。足以说明这一把军用镰刀锋利异常,如果现在尼扎能够腾出手来的话,他一定会拼命挠着自己的脑袋。眼前的这一个人穿戴着厚重的铠甲,无论从哪个地方进攻,他的铠甲总能够给他抵挡一部分的伤害,而且他本身就皮糙肉厚,普通的弯刀攻击对他造成不了多大的伤害,而他自己挥动着他手中的军用镰刀的时候,如同死神一般恐怖。

“这家伙真是能够和死亡之镰德鲁里有得一拼。”

德鲁里使用的是一把标准用的收割的镰刀,而眼前的这一个人,使用的是一种长柄镰刀,两个人的镰刀造型虽然不同,但是攻击力却同样迅猛。

见识过死亡之镰德鲁里的尼扎,这个时候面对眼前的对手,根本就无从下手。

和尼扎一样的,法提斯同样陷入了苦战。

那一位似乎是特殊挑选出来的萨兰德马穆鲁克,他使用的那一把铁杖,逼得发法提斯只能够进行防守。厚重的铠甲,提供充足的防御,法提斯无从下手。另一方面,那一名使用标枪的将领,远程和近战都具备,罗尔夫拿着他的斧头尽管占据了上风,但是却不是为何,罗尔夫总是没能够伤害到另一名将领。

而且打着打着,他总是能够跑到一个距离罗尔夫比较远的地点,然后将他手中的标枪投掷出去,如果罗尔夫不能够小心一点的话,很有可能就会被标枪给射中,一旦被标枪给射中,就不能够再一次组织下一次的攻击,紧接着这一个标枪降雨就会再次投掷出他的标枪。不过幸好,罗尔夫并没有让他得逞,他的标枪一次都没有射中她自己。

这算是沃尔斯的手下将领当中少数的几个占据上风的人了,另一方面,贝斯图尔的对手,使用的是一把轻快的双手弯刀,双手弯刀的速度本来就快,在这里我也向你的手中,挥动的速度更是奇快无比,贝斯图尔只能够勉强和他打成一个平手,贝斯图尔是一个标准的库吉特的人,说实话,他更擅长骑射,他并不适合肉搏。不过现在沃尔斯手下的每一个将领都参加了战斗,那些不擅长肉搏的将领只能够躲在暗处进行射击,毕竟叛军已经杀上了城墙,贝斯图尔虽然他的弓术能力比较突出,但是肉搏能力依然不弱,此时,用人之际只能够勉强将它排出来对战敌方将领。

沃尔斯手下最强的将领艾米瑞达,和拉克曼也打得平分秋色,马蒂尔德和格兰雷的情况大同小异,佩恩斯对战的弗朗辛,弗朗辛尽管是一个女人,但是对过佩恩斯这个大男人的时候依然不落于下风,而更让人惊奇的是那一个藏在沙漠里面的影视丹齐。他手中的那一把宝剑,已经完全破开了马特森的防御。

“想不到我居然输在了武器装备之上!”马特森似乎想要将所有的罪过都归结到自己的武器装备不好,丹齐的流沙已经破开了他的防御,他的长剑也已经被砍出了好几个口子。

“不,不是因为这样的,你要明白,战斗不仅仅是要依靠武器,而还是要依靠着自己的战斗水平。”

丹奇对着眼前的马特森说道,这对于马特森来说就是一个莫大的侮辱,这句话的意思就是在说他是一个弱者,一个只会把自己的罪过全部都赖在武器装备的身上的弱者。

可想而知这对于马特森来说的话就是莫大的打击。

“你说的很对,是我的思想有所懈怠,如果我的剑术能够才高明一点的话我就不会这样了。”马特森到了这个时候只能苦笑,他现在已经完全败了。

丹齐现在只要一招就可以把他给杀掉。

“你要杀了我为什么还不动手?”马特森突然问道,对于他这样的一个战士来说的话,从他踏上战场的那一刻开始就已经做好了思想准备,毕竟是一个人都会死亡的,他已经看见了自己的许多同伴的死亡,如果他还不能够接受死亡的话。
