Chapter 97: Golden Return
"The Lothric team is coming towards us now. Their neat steps are following the powerful drum beats. Their upright bodies are a reflection of their high spirits. Look, the two Winged Knights are waving at us. The ten Lothric Knights behind them are smiling. Hey, how come there's another knight who got in?"
The knight, emitting cold air all over his body, waved his weapon and pounced on the nearest Light Eagle mercenary like a wild beast. The mercenary quickly raised his sword to block, but the cold air continued to erode his hands along with the weapon, and his movements became slower and slower.
As for the war knight, his mind has transformed into that of a beast and he will not feel tired. His attack frequency is getting faster and faster!
The mercenary had his belly pierced with despair in his eyes, and then his body was torn into two!
The blood frozen on the ground foreshadows the beginning of war.
The winged knight floated in the air and released a beam of angel light. The fat-like armor actually looked somewhat sacred at the moment. The light that descended from the sky instantly evaporated several guards who had no time to escape!
The Lothric Knights don't have any cool special effects. All they know is simple slashing and charging, but this actually brings more pressure to people.
Just ten Luoqi could form a meat grinder, rushing into the ranks of the guards and killing them indiscriminately. They also knew how to pick on the weak.
"The next team to take the field is the Catacombs. Their sun has already set, but their undead bodies are always radiating vitality. Look, the skeleton wheels leading the charge are leaving afterimages. They must be speeding, right? But the wedge-shaped stone demons behind them are moving very slowly. If you add the two together and take the average, you get no speeding!"
As soon as the skeleton wheel appears, it is time to release the shrimp catchers. They look like skeletons tied to the wheels. Once they start rolling, it is like a mud truck hitting a group of old men and women running wild. For a while, the scene is filled with sounds of crying for their parents.
Being hit by a wheel will not be fatal, although breaking one or two bones is inevitable. You can just endure it, get up and escape.
But what if two or even three wheels rolled at the same time?
A noble from the Bed family was knocked to the ground by a skeleton wheel. When he struggled to stand up with his fat body cursing, he was knocked away again by a wheel rushing over from outside the screen.
Get up, hit, get up again, hit again.
The wedge-shaped stone demon walked very slowly. His broken body made it impossible for him to move quickly. However, if anyone dared to pass by him, they would be smashed into a pulp by that strange weapon.
"Look, what's coming towards us is, uh, the Thunder Wolf Dragon Squadron. Well, they only have three dragons, so they can't really be considered a squadron."
The three-headed thunder wolf dragon roared towards the sky, lightning flashed in an instant, and surging electric light jumped among its hair. It actually entered the super-charged state right from the start!
The loud noise made the humans around him cover their heads in fear, and some even had blood flowing from their ears.
One Thunder Wolf Dragon grabbed the mercenary and threw him into the air, another one jumped high and knocked him to the ground with one claw, and the last one rushed forward and stepped on him to kill him!
A perfect combined attack!
"Don't be afraid, come together!"
The mercenaries of the Light Eagle Group were indeed brave. A sturdy mercenary who wrapped himself in armor like a can smashed the Thunder Wolf Dragon's body with a hammer.
There was only a "bang" sound, and the mercenary's weapon was bounced away!
"Oh my god, it's so hard!"
Before he could even sigh, lightning struck from the sky and instantly turned him into a burnt can.
The flying dragon Yakir spewed flames from the sky, the mountain goblin roared to make people bleed from all seven orifices, the black knight brandished his halberd, the silver knight's longbow kept shooting, and the people's old friends the cursed frogs also ran out in droves, but unfortunately in high-end games they can only serve as mascots.
There was also a dream-inducing tapir who was shaking the hypnotic ring in his hand and led the female guard into the portal with a giggle.
The mercenaries and guards who had been so high-spirited before were completely defeated by the tide of monsters. Some died and some fled, and the scene was extremely chaotic.
The adventurers who were driven out early were lucky enough to escape. Some of them had already run away, but others drew their weapons and prepared to rush forward to fight the monsters.
However, these hot-blooded people were stopped by more experienced adventurers, who advised them:
"They kicked you out, and you still rushed to help?"
So most people put down their weapons, and only a few went to help, but they were forced back after a short while.
If you don't necessarily get appreciated for helping someone, why risk your life for that?
After the initial panic, the Light Eagle mercenaries began to organize their forces to resist the monsters. All kinds of magic poured out, including barrier magic, swamp magic, lure magic, healing magic, and berserk magic. Melee professions fought bloody battles with the monsters under the magic barriers.
Although the mercenaries were quite powerful, they could only barely hold out against the surging monsters.
As for the guards? Don't count on it at all.
Once the two tree guards join the battlefield, the fragile defense of the Light Eagle Group will collapse in an instant.
"Simon, what should we do?" Gelka confronted one of the tree guards, and neither side took the initiative to act.
He shouted, "Should we retreat and lure the monsters into the city and fight them? Just like before."
Simon almost nodded, but when he thought of something, his face changed and he immediately said, "No!"
"What's the big deal? This is not our base," Gelka shouted "bind", and the movement of the tree guards froze as if stopped in time. Gelka took the opportunity to chop the horse's leg with a knife.
So hard!
The binding effect was weakened to a considerable extent for monsters of the Tree Guardian's level. Before Gelka could chop out a second blow, the heavy golden halberd attacked again, which he barely dodged.
Simon really wanted to help him, but the tree guards on his side were still watching him closely, and he couldn't get away.
"Have you forgotten the captain's plan? To achieve the future that the captain hopes for, we must gain the support of the people of this country, whether they are nobles or commoners," Simon said.
"Tsk," Gelka pulled away and shouted in annoyance, "I'm too lazy to pretend to be a good person!"
He raised his sword high, and the sword body was covered with a layer of flames. He slashed with all his might, and a flaming sword energy shot towards the tree guarding it.
As the tree guard was about to resist, he shouted, "Bound! Flammable!"
Gelka's face turned visibly paler, but the tree guard was stopped for a moment. The flames hit him, not only leaving a shallow scar on the armor on his chest, but also making his whole body burst into flames.
In the blink of an eye it turned into a flaming fist!
What a powerful force! He is worthy of being the captain of the Light Eagle Group. He can actually break the armor guarding the tree.
If it was Stellan, she would have left the scene regretfully under the combination of flaming sword energy + decree.
"It doesn't seem that difficult to deal with."
Gelka quickly drank a sip of healing potion to restore his strength. At this moment, another tree guard rushed towards him aggressively.
Gelka glared and cursed, "Fuck Simon, what are you doing there!"
"I'll leave the overall command to you for now."
Simon pierced the head of the Lothric Knight with his long sword and shouted orders to his mercenaries.
As soon as they heard the captain's voice, the mercenaries immediately ignited their fighting spirit and fought against the enemy under Simon's command. The defense line was stabilized in an instant.
"Count, tell your guards to move, don't just stand there and watch!"
"Of course I know. I don't need your instructions!"
Count Philip kicked the leader of the guards next to him fiercely and cursed: "Did you hear me? Go and fight quickly. You are just embarrassing yourself here every day!"
The guard leader was still hesitant, but now he gritted his teeth and gave the order: "Everyone, do your best!"
The number of remaining guards is much larger than that of mercenaries, but unfortunately their quality is not comparable at all, and they have no fighting spirit when they are forced to go to the battlefield.
On the contrary, because their numbers were too concentrated, many of them were sent away by the Winged Knight's angel beam.
Count Philip's face twitched constantly, he was filled with shame and anger, these guards were really disgraceful.
Once this matter is resolved, we must recruit a group of highly qualified people and fire all these good-for-nothings now!
It's not certain whether it can be solved.
"You might as well rely on me to kill these two monsters by myself instead of relying on them!"
Forced to fight against two tree guards, Gelka's resentment was greater than the sky.
The tree guards used the golden halberds skillfully and did not give him any chance to breathe. The large shields in their off-hand hands would also strike him when the opportunity arose, forcing people to pay attention and observe all the time.
Gelka's only advantage is his agility. He can sneak under the horses of the tree guards and always dodge attacks narrowly. If Malu were present, she would definitely be amazed at how slippery this guy is like a loach.
But he didn't have any chance to attack. If he was caught in the backswing of his attack, he would definitely be killed in one blow.
Being able to briefly tangle with two C+ monsters, he should be proud of his strength.
"I can't stand it anymore, look at my sword of thunder and fire!"
Gelka endured the huge consumption of physical strength and cast an acceleration type decree on himself. After once again widening the distance, he raised his sword high, intending to use the same trick again.
The tree guard who was previously burned by flames was really injured. For him wearing heavy armor, magic attacks are much more effective than physical attacks.
In the game, you can use a small dagger to slowly kill the tree guard, but this is reality, and the result of fighting with a dagger is that you will most likely not even be able to break the defense.
This time, it was not only flames that wrapped around the sword, but also crackling lightning. In the ever-changing battlefield, Gelka had no time to accumulate strength and could only throw the sword energy that had just formed away.
This time, the sword energy rushed directly to the heads of the tree guards. If one of them could be beheaded, the pressure of the battle would drop sharply!
Faced with this deadly attack, what will the tree guard do?
He raised the golden tree shield, and the shield surface lit up with golden and transparent mysterious magic.
【Golden Return】!
This is the mysterious power from the Golden Tree, and its function is——
“Ding~”
The golden and translucent mysterious magic instantly absorbed Gelka's sword of thunder and fire.
"ah?"
Gelka was stunned. How come his sword energy was so powerful, how come it all disappeared?
What surprised him even more was yet to come.
With almost no pause, the golden tree shield immediately transformed his magic attack into a powerful light cannon!
Gelka is about to fall!
By the way, what kind of chapter do you think is considered weak? How do you feel about this one? If it were water, I would try to speed up the pace.
