Chapter 405 404. Moon over the Sea
clang--
The sound of weapons clashing echoed in the ruins.
Angela is in a one-on-one duel with the Pigman leader.
The pigmen soldiers had already surrounded the soldiers of Jingu City. At first, two winged people tried to break out of the chaos, but they were pierced through the body by spears the moment they took off into the air and fell down with screams.
The pigmen's leader did not give the order to attack, so the pigmen just surrounded but did not attack for the time being.
As for the humans, they did not dare to start a fight first.
Everyone was watching the duel in the center of the field, the outcome of which was almost certain.
Angela kept changing her position, and the cold light flashed on her sword. However, every tricky thrust was easily blocked by the pigman leader with an agility that was completely inconsistent with his huge body.
The heavy mace was as light as a feather in his hand, and he could always block all attack routes.
On the contrary, Angela's wound on her right shoulder kept bursting due to the intense exercise.
Blood flowed down his arm, gradually soaking half of his battle robe.
Her face grew paler, her breathing became heavier, and her body swayed slightly with every collision.
Anyone could see that the pig leader was not trying his best. He was like a cat teasing its prey, enjoying Angela's futile struggle with great interest.
The pig leader easily parried Angela's thrusts and lunged again, his heavy breathing punctuated by laughter. "Why are you so stubborn? We may be different species, but aren't we both orcs? Why would you risk your life for humans?"
Angela took advantage of the situation and retreated half a step, her sword drawing a defensive arc in front of her. The wound on her shoulder oozed more blood as she moved.
"Look at your current predicament," the Pigman leader swung his heavy mace. "Those human nobles treat you like a disposable pawn. They get the credit for missions like this, but you're the one who's sending yourself to die. In the eyes of humans, you'll always be an alien."
He took a step forward, the firelight illuminating his scarred face. "But in the Empire, strength is everything. With your abilities, you'll surely rise to prominence. I promise you in the name of our boss, Duke Xenophon, that if you come to help us, you'll receive far better treatment than you currently receive."
"Am I not an alien to the pig people? You can accept me and my subordinates and my tribe at the same time?"
The Pigman leader scoffed disdainfully: "Why bother with the fate of the weak? If you want to gain a foothold in the empire, the first thing you must learn is to let go of these meaningless concerns."
In response, he received another thrust from Angela.
However, the gap in strength was insurmountable after all. The pig man didn't even dodge. He casually swung the mace in his hand, and the heavy force knocked Angela away.
"Stupid." The pigman leader shook his head, the last trace of patience in his eyes completely extinguished. He stepped forward, dragging his mace on the ground, leaving deep grooves.
The pigman leader began to attack fiercely. Angela barely blocked it, but could only retreat step by step under this violent attack.
Every time the weapons collided, her palms felt numb, and her body began to shake from excessive blood loss.
Seeing that Angela was about to be defeated, Lin Jun was trying to figure out how to use this Puji.
It is naturally impossible to turn defeat into victory, because Lin Jun is controlling a Puji, not Xiao Hei.
However, if this Puji, which is specialized in self-destruction, is used properly, it can indeed cause considerable damage. If it successfully causes chaos, one or two people from this team may be able to escape.
There was not much time left, so Lin Jun chose the direction of a group of pig-man spear throwers and was about to roll over and explode himself.
Suddenly, a wave of magical power came from the sea!
The pigman leader raised his mace, ready to give Angela the final blow, when he suddenly caught a glimpse of light on the sea from the corner of his eye.
His first thought was that dawn was approaching. He was a pigman, not a vampire, so daytime would actually be more suitable for them to fight.
But then I suddenly woke up and realized that the sun does not rise from the west!
Silently, an arrow made of pure magic came at an astonishing speed. The pigman leader roared and used his mace to defend himself. The arrow collided with the metal mace, leaving a deep gash on the hard mace. The arrow was deflected but continued to move forward. With a "puff" sound, it pierced through the chest of a pigman warrior not far away.
Before he could catch his breath, he felt a sudden sharp pain in his abdomen.
The Pigman leader looked down and saw Angela thrusting the sword into the side of his armor.
He swung his mace in anger and hit Angela hard. The female orc flew back more than ten meters and became motionless after knocking down half of the remaining wall.
"Damn wild dog!"
He roared, pulled out the long sword from his abdomen and threw it on the ground, and blood immediately gushed out.
At this time, the second wave of attacks had arrived.
Several similar magical arrows streaked across the night sky like meteors, this time targeting ordinary pigmen warriors. Except for the leader, no one could effectively respond.
The arrows either pierced their throats or went straight to their hearts, each one fatal. In a blink of an eye, nine pigmen fell to the ground.
“Who is it?!”
In the dim moonlight, the Pigman leader squinted his eyes and could barely make out the faint shadow of a sail on the horizon. The ship was at least three miles from the shore, and at this distance, even the details of the hull were blurred and difficult to distinguish.
"Such a long distance...how is it possible?!"
This realization made his heart sink, as it meant that they had no means of fighting back.
But he quickly came to his senses and roared at his men, "Kill all these humans! Leave no one alive!"
He planned to withstand the enemy's arrows and complete the massacre before reinforcements arrived.
What he didn't know was that this decision made him lose his last chance to escape.
In his opinion, it would take a while for the ship to approach the shore, enough time for him to kill all the people from Jingu City.
The Puji divisions also realized that it was a life-and-death situation, and they all drove Puji to launch a desperate charge.
Especially those puffs that released hallucinogenic spores, which spread without regard for friend or foe. The thick spore cloud enveloped the entire battlefield, making it difficult for the pig soldiers to rush in for a while.
The pigman leader anxiously discovered that due to various interferences, it took them much longer than expected to eliminate half of the humans.
During this period, many pigmen soldiers were killed by magic arrows.
The pigman leader finally thought of retreating, but just as he was hesitating, a new change suddenly occurred on the sea.
More than twenty figures in silver armor were walking on the waves, leaving a series of ripples on the sea surface.
Although there is no iconic sacred emblem, it is not difficult to tell the other party's identity from the style of armor - a church warrior.
The leading church warrior moved at an astonishing speed, leaving his companions far behind. His eyes, filled with hatred, locked onto the pigman leader.
In an instant, the pig man realized that it was impossible for him to outrun the other party while injured.
So he turned around resolutely, and his muscles swelled up.
[Bloodline Enhancement LV7]
【Strength Enhancement LV8】
【Heavy as a Thousand Pounds LV5】
With a deafening roar, he raised the mace in both hands and smashed it down with all his strength at the church warriors who were charging towards him.
laugh--
A magic arrow, faster than the previous one, pierced the pigman's wrist. He was unable to block the arrow while concentrating on facing the powerful enemy.
The church warrior easily dodged this powerful but unrefined attack, and came to the front of the pigman with flying mud, the long sword in his hand shining brightly.
【Holy Slash LV10】
The sword flashed, and the pig man's huge body was split into two.
The brave Sophia, who was far away on the bow of the ship, saw the whole scene.
The longbow in her hand never stopped, and every time the bowstring was plucked, a pigman would be hit.
Priest Samuel stood quietly behind her, guarding against possible danger.
The girl Bella used the broken ocean scepter to speed up the ship while staring at the battle on the shore. She also wanted to rush up and kill the demons.
In this chaos, no one noticed that a mushroom quietly crawled to the dying Angela, gently shook its mushroom cap, and scattered spores on her bleeding wound.
