Chapter 139 Magic 3

Barnett "gently" pushed Victor's sword aside, then raised his leg and kicked him in the stomach.

Then Victor flew backwards towards Paul like a toy doll thrown out.

The soldiers who came with the captain of the guards saw that the other party was so powerful, and they reached a tacit understanding with a glance, raised their swords and chopped at Barnett together.

For Barnett, the strength of an ordinary adult man may not be worth mentioning, but the combined attack of everyone cannot be underestimated.

He avoided most of the attacks with very agile movements, but he was still stabbed two or three times.

The soldier who hit Barnett's body felt that he had chopped on a big stone, and his hands were numb from the shock.

"Lord in heaven! What kind of monster is he!" Someone shouted in horror.

"He is a wizard who uses magic to enhance his own strength and defense!" The female consultant next to Paul suddenly shouted, "You can't fight him at close range, keep your distance and entangle him."

"Wizard? Magic?!" The female consultant's words made everyone confused. Is this monster in front of them an evil wizard?

Although the strange stories about wizards and magic have been circulating among the people, when the legendary things suddenly appear in front of them, people still feel at a loss.

The "monster" who was hit by several swords seemed to be unharmed. He suddenly rushed towards the soldier closest to him and swung his fist with lightning speed.

The soldier's head was like being hit by a big iron hammer, and he fell to the ground unconscious in an instant.

Barnett shot left and right, almost punching one by one, and knocked down a large number of soldiers in a few breaths.

In these few seconds, he also fought and dodged, cleverly avoiding several arrows shot by the female consultant on the opposite side.

However, he gradually felt something was wrong. The female archer's accuracy was too terrible. Almost every arrow was aimed at his eyes. If he hadn't had [Danger Sense], he would have been shot through the eyes and penetrated his head.

It is impossible for mortals to do this, unless...

It has only been less than a minute since the cloaked man suddenly attacked, and the situation has taken a sharp turn for the worse.

People's prevention of unknown dangers cannot exceed their usual cognition, just like the earthlings in "The Three-Body Problem" would never have thought that they would be hit by a two-dimensional foil.

Although the female consultant reminded them, before this, whether it was Paul, Victor or the soldiers, they either did not believe in the existence of wizards and magic, or were obsessed with the image of wizards in folk legends and did not expect the current scene.

In folk legends, the image of wizards is like this:

They wear tall pointed hats, gray and shabby robes, lean on a wooden stick called a magic wand, have a lot of beards on their faces, and some are hunched over.

Wizards generally do not choose to confront people head-on, but hide in the dark and quietly carry out their own conspiracies, using spells, curses and potions to control other people's minds, interfere with other people's fate and even murder other people's lives.

When they have to confront the enemy head-on, wizards will cast illusions to confuse the other party, or use magic wands to cast fireballs at the enemy from a distance, or summon wolves, bats and other animals to help.

But wizards also have fatal weaknesses. Although they can manipulate powerful magic, their bodies are weak. Once they are approached by warriors with high martial arts skills, it will be their doom.

But what's the matter with this sturdy, invulnerable madman who rushes into the enemy with his bare hands when he disagrees with something? Everything is the opposite of the legendary wizard's characteristics.

At any time before, no one would have thought that a large group of people would be blocked by a wizard in broad daylight.

Even after the other party showed hostility, everyone thought that he was just a bold lunatic. Not only was he unarmed, but he was also not wearing any protective gear. No matter how skilled he was in martial arts, he was still a piece of cake in front of dozens of people.

Even the female consultant Ladi did not expect that the danger she had predicted was brought by a wizard, until the other party showed a familiar aura.

After a brief moment of shock, Paul regained his consciousness. Although the female consultant's reminder made him feel absurd, he could not care less. Whether it was a legendary wizard or not, the other party would definitely take his life.

"Firearm! Kill that bastard with a firearm!"

He anxiously ordered the guards around him, ten of whom carried matchlocks.

Due to the limited production of firearms and gunpowder, they were given priority to the army and navy to defend against external enemies. The internal security forces were only equipped with a small number of firearms, and their main equipment was still cold weapons such as swords.

Therefore, unlike the soldiers of the army and navy who conducted shooting training every now and then, they only fired a few rounds occasionally to avoid forgetting the operating steps.

It was also because of this that they did not think of taking off their muskets at the first time. Faced with such a tense situation, they subconsciously relied on the more familiar swords or sabers.

After Paul gave the order to use muskets, their movements of loading ammunition did not have the smooth feeling of professional musketeers.

It was very troublesome to load the musket, and what was even more unfortunate was that they had to light the matchlock in the biting cold wind, and it would go out if they were not careful.

At this time, the soldiers who followed Victor to rush up were basically knocked down by the wizards. They were lying on the ground, either dead or alive, or groaning because of injuries.

The wizard's cloak was also chopped to shreds by the soldiers, and he strode towards Paul.

Seeing the enemy approaching, Ladi said in a deep voice: "I will buy time for you, hurry up and get your muskets ready!"

She didn't know whether the guards' muskets could break the cloaked man's defense, but this was the only way at this time. Her bow and arrow were either caught or dodged, so she could only hope for faster bullets.

Ladi had watched the soldiers' shooting training, and even after performing [Full Concentration], she had never caught the trajectory of the bullet. She was deeply impressed by the speed.

The female consultant concentrated her mind, put her hands together in front of her chest, and shouted: "Wall Shield Technique!"

No mistake, one song, one release, one content, one 6, one 9, one book, one bar, one look!

Before the voice fell, with the female consultant as the center, the air around the circle of visible ripples appeared, and soon, Paul and the soldiers were surprised to find that they were wrapped in a translucent "cover".

"Sure enough..." Barnett's eyes were burning with anger after seeing all this, "My previous suspicion was indeed correct!"

He suddenly exerted force, rushed to the "hood" almost instantly, and then punched it hard.

The translucent "hood" rippled, and the fist as big as a casserole went in at once, but that was the end. The wizard's body was still outside the "hood", tightly "sticking" to it but unable to move forward.

"Hurry up!" Paul was so anxious that tears were about to come out, urging the musketeers around him.

"Hum!" Barnett retracted his fist, "I want to see how long you can hold on!"

He waved his arms continuously, punching the "hood" hard one by one.

"Traitor!"

"You are the same as us!"

"You actually ignored your identity and served mortals!"

"You are trying your best to help these inferior creatures fight against their compatriots!"

Barnett waved his fist and cursed, and dirty words came out of his mouth continuously. The female consultant had completely attracted his hatred.

No matter how Barnett insulted her, Ladi was not moved at all, but as her "hood" was attacked by the opponent's fists again and again, her complexion became more and more ugly, and despite the cold weather, beads of sweat oozed out of her face.

"Everyone! Aim!"

Following Paul's order, ten soldiers holding muskets aimed at Barnett.

The muskets were finally ready. The reason why those who finished loading early did not fire first was because they noticed that when Captain Victor attacked the wizard alone, the other party did not dodge or evade and resisted hard, and later when several soldiers slashed at him with swords, he actually dodged.

So, in order to cause the greatest damage to the opponent, they decided to fire together.

The moment to decide the final victory has come...
