Chapter 119 Decisive Battle (7)
Chapter 119: Decisive battle for guarantee next month
Information quickly came back from various channels.
At the back of the entire Balogan Temple, it consists of a core ceremony hall and a series of prayer sanctuaries. This hall was once owned by Uhkir. It is connected to the platform altar at the rear. Beyond the rows of monks' residences below, there are two outer walls behind the elven ruins.
The festival hall is not only the tallest building in the entire ruins, but also the core of the central axis of the building complex.
It was also the first place that Antitina took a fancy to.
The mercenaries were like ants shuttled between the ruins. They accepted Antitina's order and walked through the courtyard of the Great Holy Temple - the courtyard here was once a place for prayer and meditation by the Silver Elf monks. However, in the past, it was beautiful and quiet. All that remains of the sanctuary is devastation. Only the remaining pillars of the exquisite and beautiful holy white cloister remain. There seems to be a whisper of the past lingering among these silent stone pillar forests, telling the past history of this place.
In this silence, the three Lubis mercenaries who set out first arrived at their destination. They set up a defense line on the second outer wall at the northwest diagonal corner of the ceremony hall, the core of the Balogan Great Temple, and observed the lizardmen in the forest from there.
The Silver Elves built two outer walls as a defense line for this sacred forbidden area. However, after several centuries, the weathered walls have almost collapsed. Today, except for the height difference between the second-level outer wall and the first-level outer wall, the back side of the festival hall is almost undefendable. ——And the lizardmen don't seem to be planning to repair these fortifications.
Mainly for two reasons, one is that they do not have this ability; the defense planned by the elves is the work of skilled craftsmen, and the entire defense line is exquisite and complex. With Uhkiel's intelligence, he simply does not understand how they can turn these into rubble. The walled fortress was rebuilt. Secondly, there is no need for them. In this forest, the only natural enemies of these lizard bandits in the past were alcoholism and fighting with each other, causing more than double-digit casualties almost every year.
Of course, now they have another natural enemy added to their list, and that is Brando.
The second group reached the gap on the other side.
"The lizard-men passed through the forest—"
"They are starting to approach the ruins."
"The number shall not be less than one hundred."
"Found the command."
The mercenaries conveyed the message in sign language, which happened to fall into Antitina's eyes.
The girl walked quickly through the ceremony hall holding her skirt, and arrived alone at the platform outside the hall where important ritual activities were hosted. This is the highest point of the entire ruins. Standing on the edge of the platform, she can even overlook the entire second half of the Great Holy Temple.
The intricate defense system of the Silver Elf suddenly became clear in her eyes.
The girl lowered her head and compared the sketch in her hand - it was a hastily drawn drawing due to limited time, but it looked very good at the moment. Her professional knowledge of architecture came into play at this moment. This was the fortress system of the Silver Elf five centuries ago, which happened to be the one she was most familiar with.
She turned back and used all her strength to push up the flag from the ground - it was actually just two spears tied together and a piece of gray cloth; there was no pattern, no emblem or even any mark for identification.
The fabric is still made of Brando's cloak.
She raised the flag and pointed it in a certain direction——
This means two things.
The first meaning is to tell Namenis and Huque in front that the defense line in the rear has not been lost yet. As long as this flag remains, they don't have to divide their forces to look after others.
The second meaning is: Gray Wolf mercenaries, to defend the fourth gap.
But when the Gray Wolf mercenaries below saw this order, they couldn't help but look at each other.
The platform's location was once an extremely safe location, but that was only in the past as it has now collapsed in half. If the lizardmen break through the front, they can easily rush to Antitina's position. Brando once told them that their duty was to protect the safety of this noble daughter, but now she actually asked them to go to the other side.
"Miss Antitina?" a mercenary asked loudly.
"Follow my orders."
"But?"
Antitina waved her hand and said loudly: "Now I am the commander, and everything is based on the principle of obeying my orders. As for any problems later, that will happen later."
The mercenaries choked.
But the girl on the platform frowned. She raised her head and saw the lizard men walking out of the forest one after another. Their formations were spread out, which showed that the opponent might have noticed the weakness of their inferior strength. However, this is not the worst thing. The worst thing is that she only has fifteen troops at hand, not to mention that her single combat power is not superior.
In black iron, the upper position versus the lower position is, at best, a one-to-four or one-to-five exchange.
The only thing is to delay as much time as possible.
Antitina unconsciously gritted her teeth and tightened her grip on the flagpole.
…
Brando was sweating.
He couldn't remember how many times Qian and he had changed directions - because they were too close - he could almost see the tension in Qian's heart that was almost the same as his own. Her heart was beating fast in her delicate body. The breathing began to become a little rapid. This is a sign that your physical strength is beginning to decline.
"How long until that...charge...that you mentioned can be used?" Akane asked breathlessly.
"Give me another twenty seconds..." Brando has been estimating the time in his mind.
"No, if we don't... float... we won't be able to delay that long." The girl immediately shook her head.
Brando looked back.
He hoped that this answer was not true, but he also knew that this was an impossible assumption. Because the divine envoy Aikmen still caught up with him as expected, just as he expected. Although the steering was clumsy, the monster's straight-line speed was astonishingly fast, and it often only took a few steps to make up the distance it lost during a turn.
But Brando knew that he couldn't keep changing Akane's direction. If this continued, he wouldn't be able to lure the monster to the preset location even after dark.
Floating in the air can relieve temporary worries, but they gradually find that this thing is getting smarter. It used rock spikes to attack the platinum war horse in the sky. Since there were no trees to hinder it, it was like hitting a target.
"Can't float." Brando replied.
Akane gritted her teeth.
The young man looked back again and looked at the distance between Aikemen and himself getting closer and closer. He did not dare to hesitate and immediately threw a disintegrating crystal backward. Amidst the series of explosions, the giant beast protected its head with both hands. It didn't seem to have paused at all. It had already jumped out of the smoke and dust with the impact of the explosion.
Of course, the red-haired girl also felt the threat from the rear. As a last resort, she could only order the war horse to rise into the air. But Aikemen stabbed with both hands, and the stone pillar immediately shot out from the ground behind him, directly attacking the two of them.
Although Akane immediately ordered the horse to change direction. But tensing her nerves for a long time inevitably made her tired. The result of her slow reaction was that the stone pillar accurately hit the war horse's rear thigh; the platinum war horse's rear half tilted and was whipped straight Flying out and hitting a tree.
The huge impact threw Brando and the red-haired girl who were caught off guard on the horse together. By the time the young man reacted, they had already fallen heavily to the ground. At that moment, Brando almost thought that he was back to the night he was at Butchi's old house - when he was thrown out by the skeleton, he also had the same foggy and disgusting feeling, as if It was like a bomb was dropped in my head.
But Brando's first concern was not whether he had a concussion or other problems. Because he knew that there was still a deadly guy who would rush up to hit him at any time.
Big trouble now
He already held the last disintegration crystal in his hand. At the same time, he shook his head and subconsciously tried to stand up, but before he could react, a hand was pressed against his chest.
"Listen well."
This was Akane's voice. Brando tried to open his eyes, but his vision was blurry. He could only vaguely see the other person's face. The red-haired girl was looking at him:
"I'm going to delay that guy and buy you some time."
"What are you going to do?"
Brando shook his head and asked dizzy. He felt a sharp pain in his back, almost making people wonder if his spine was about to be broken.
"You don't have to worry about me. I'm also a divine envoy. That brainless thing can at most seriously injure me -"
"It seems that I told you the characteristics of the divine envoy...ahem." Brando half-squinted his eyes, but his vision was still not clear. He coughed and struggled to sit up, and then felt himself being supported by the other party.
"snort."
The girl snorted coldly in his ear, then let him go, "Horse behind, don't waste time." She dropped these words, picked up the ax gun and turned around - in her field of vision, the huge The monster has broken three trees and rushed towards this side.
Qian leveled her spear and bit her little tiger teeth.
Brando looked at Qian's back and couldn't help being stunned. But he immediately got up with difficulty and grabbed the reins of the platinum war horse. He didn't dare waste time, and now was not the time to argue. Akane made a choice, and he had no choice but to cooperate fully.
In team activities, this is the most basic rule.
Otherwise the opportunity is wasted in hesitation.
Brando got on his horse and immediately gave the order to run wildly. He turned around on his horse and saw that Akane had been swept away by the earth god's palm. The girl shot straight into the forest like a stone, making a series of crackling sounds.
Then it lost its voice.
The lower level of gold is helpless in the face of the power of enlightened elements.
After confirming that the enemy had lost its combat power, the Earth God Envoy Aikemen once again set his sights on the escaping bug. No one gave it orders, so the envoy was dominated by the violent character brought by the blood of God. Naturally, its first action goal was to kill everything that could still move.
In particular, Brando was afraid that it would continue to cause trouble for the red-haired tiger-toothed girl, so he threw a disintegrating crystal at it. There was no doubt that the monster's hatred returned to the young man at the first opportunity.
But the time Akane bought worked after all.
Because at this moment Brando finally activated the charge skill that re-entered the cooling time. After three consecutive turns, he brought out a stretched silver line and swept through the forest. In fact, with the addition of the platinum war horse, Brando's speed exceeded ten times for the first time since he came to this world. A thousand energy levels.
This number is already infinitely close to the data of his dexterity attribute at the peak of his previous life.
And if someone is lucky enough to witness such a scene above the forest, he will definitely see a magnificent silver line crossing the entire forest. Directly dividing the forest into two, and then extending into the endless distance.
ps. I’m too tired from the continuous explosions, so I need to take a rest. Today I went to the Korean server to play terA, and I sighed, Bangzi is indeed ahead of the Chinese people.
Please give me a guaranteed monthly ticket for next month.
