Alien Knights

Chapter 124: Defense of Muxi (4)

Fireworks in the sky, scattered limbs, dead people everywhere.

Sitting on the beach in despair, Lev felt like a big bell was roaring in his head, watching Colwyn yelling at him, but he couldn't hear anything.

"Stand up! Get out of here!"

The roar of the barbarian warrior finally reached Lev's ears a little.

The young pirate wanted to stand up with the help of the opponent, but the severe pain from the lower body made him scream and fall to the ground again.

The two lowered their heads and looked, a piece of palm-sized glass shards plunged deeply into Lev's thigh, and blood slowly flowed down the wound.

Colwyn looked at the depth of the wound by the flames on the beach, took out a cloth strap from his belt, tied it to Lev's thigh, and shouted at him: "Hold it up!"

Before the opponent had any reaction, Colwyn pulled out the glass shards abruptly.

The screams resounded on the beach.

After one hour.

The barbarian leaders and the pirate leaders commanded them and set up a temporary camp by the sea. The bodies of the dead and the wounded by the explosion were carried into the camp. However, due to medical conditions, the latter only got simple Treatment.

Some of the wounded died slowly in pain and wailing, but more people lost their fighting ability completely because of their injuries.

After counting the number of people, the leaders found sadly that an explosion took 14 lives directly or indirectly, and another 25 people completely lost their ability to move. In addition to the manpower lost at sea, the pirates and barbarians have lost more than one-third of their combat power before entering the town.

Someone proposed to the leader to retreat, but it was immediately denied.

The leaders agreed that if they did not bring back any spoils in this attack, they would return in a hurry. Not only would the prestige of the tribe be greatly damaged, but it would also trigger malicious intent from the opponents.

Just after the campfire, the North Island pirates sang war hymns beside the corpses of their comrades. In the lyrics, the souls of the war dead return to the Temple of War, drinking with the gods, eating meat, drinking alcohol, and being at ease; while the barbarians smeared ink on their bodies, burned their corpses into ashes, and put them in cans. middle.

After a night of rest, the troops from the north embarked on a journey of conquest again.

In the early morning, Muxi Town is like a ghost town, and there is no trace of a person. The door of the dwelling is open to the outside, and you can vaguely see the piles of debris inside; you can find hay and dung forks in the fences used to keep livestock; broken tables and chairs can be seen everywhere in the supposedly lively tavern.

The pirates and barbarians searched every house along the street, looking for any valuable items. After searching, nothing was found except for a few coppers that were forgotten in the floor and cracks in the door.

"We were fooled by the crooks of the Silver Ring Kingdom!" Someone shouted in the team, "This is not a treasure house of wealth everywhere!"

The leader frowned and led his soldiers to move forward, and finally came to a wide square.

Looking at the cross on a minaret building at the end of the square, Lev limped and asked Colwyn next to him: "That's the church?"

The latter glanced at him strangely: "Have you never seen a church?"

"On the North Island, I have only seen the ruins of some churches. Besides, this is the first time I have gone to sea with the tribe."

The team walked to the door of the church and looked at a wooden sign standing at the door, which was written exactly like the text on the cross on the beach.

Seeing the soldiers retreating one after another, the leader sighed and gave the order to bypass the church.

Moving forward, the pirates and barbarians came to the commercial street of Muxi Town. The street became narrower and narrower, and there were more and more buildings on both sides. Lev whispered: "This place must have been very prosperous before."

Colwyn nodded.

The two leaders walked and discussed what to do next.

At this moment, a crossbow bolt came straight from the roof of the house not far away, and accurately shot into the head of the barbarian leader.

The chunky sneak attacker succeeded, packed up the crossbow machine, and quickly ran into the distance along the "bridges" on the roof where planks had been erected.

Everyone in the team, with incredulous eyes, watched the barbarian leader slowly fall, no breathing. After a moment of silence, the barbarian warriors drew out their weapons and shields and rushed in the direction of the attack.

"Stop! Stop!"

The loud shout of the pirate leader did not let these angry avengers gain a little calmness. Seeing that the situation could no longer be controlled, the former had to shout for the remaining soldiers and rushed forward with the barbarians.

Further on, the streets of the commercial street are a bit narrower, and only three people can walk side by side. Looking at the crossbowmen running on the roof, the barbarians speeded up their pursuit, but they walked into a dead end without realizing it.

Just as they were looking for a way out, hundreds of archers stood up from the roof and poured torrential arrows down toward the crowded enemies in the street.

Unexpectedly, coupled with the group of dragons without a leader, the barbarians received a fatal blow in just a few tens of seconds, and fragments of warriors fell like mowing. It was not until the emergence of the pirate leader that this one-sided situation was effectively contained.

"Hold your shield! Squat down! Stick to the wall! Get out! Get out!"

After paying the price of dozens of lives, the furious barbarian finally walked out of this "Street of Death".

The number of pirates and barbarians fighting in the army has dropped from 500 when they first went to sea to less than 250.

————————————

"Master Saint Son, we have repelled the enemy!"

Todd breathed a sigh of relief watching the militia happily holding up its weapons and cheering loudly.

Compared with buildings in other parts of Muxi Town, when the commercial street was originally planned and constructed, there were still a half-and-a-half old shops and houses that had not had time to renovate. These clustered wooden houses, due to the narrow streets, wide roofs and high density, form an excellent ambush spot.

Of course, Walton's excellent "bowbow" skills combined with the "Eagle Eye" ability is also a major condition for the success of this ambush.

Todd touched the bridge of his nose and thought in his heart: Maybe in this battle, only relying on the militia and terrain advantages can drag the pirates and barbarians, and Rachel's ability team may not be on the stage...

A scout alien came to him in a hurry, and reported: "Your lord, the enemy has started to move!"

Todd asked hurriedly.

"The enemy divided the remaining troops into multiple teams and began to go around this area."

"Abandon the offense, go around?

Todd pondered for a moment, and then, with a flash of inspiration, his mind was tight, and he suddenly understood the enemy's intentions.

"Alfonso! Inform all the militiamen to evacuate immediately! Evacuate to the second line of defense!"

Soon after receiving instructions, the militia group, led by Todd and Alfonso, quickly withdrew from the commercial street and rushed to the second line of defense in Muxi Town-the guard camp. When they had just entered the camp, straight black smoke appeared in the direction of the commercial street. The enemies used the method of fire attack, turning the hiding place into a fire field.

Todd wiped the sweat from his forehead and let out a dangerous cry in his heart.

However, after the head of the militia had counted the number of people, he suddenly said loudly: "Master head, there are four people who have not returned yet!"

"what?!"

Todd turned his head in surprise.

"It's a group of young people in the town. I heard people say that in order to brag about their achievements, they wanted to find some loot from the enemy's body, so they sneaked back..."

"Naughty! A bunch of bastards! It's actually making trouble for me at this juncture!" Todd waved his arm in annoyance, making a rare swearing.

The knight Alfonso took the iron helmet, put it on his head again, and strode towards the main entrance of the camp: "I'll find them."

Todd shouted loudly several times, and the knight finally disappeared at the door. His followers, Leslie, Walton, and Adelina also followed.

Rachel walked to Todd's side, looked at the latter's solemn expression, and whispered: "He's going to die."

"I know……"

The woman said again: "Need to send someone to help him?"

Todd looked up at the thicker black smoke in the distance, then looked back at the people in the camp, and gritted his teeth: "No, we have more important things to do... Strengthen the defense of the camp and let the alien species The team is ready, there will be a hard fight next..."

——————————————

Alfonso supported a large sword with both hands, blocking the hacking of a long axe, pushing it upwards, kicking on the ground under his feet, pushing his body forward, crashing into the enemy's arms, and hitting the opponent's abdomen with the hilt. , After forcing it to kneel to the ground, the big sword slashed down forcefully, and the enemy's head was separated.

When his arm felt cold, he looked down and saw an arrow sticking into the arm armor. Fortunately, he didn't have much strength, only scratching some of the skin. Speaking of the sword again, just about to take a step forward, rushing to the last of the three enemies, a crossbow bolt ended the life of the pirate archer.

Carrying the crossbow machine, Walton stood out from the shadow of the building with a smug smile on his face.

Leslie glanced at him as he walked past him, and said in a weird manner: "Yes, not bad. You are really good at things like cold arrows."

Passing by the two who were fighting together, Adelina came out last, looking at the knight with a worried expression.

Alfonso was stunned.

Later, he shouted at his followers: "Go back to the camp!"

No one moved.

He raised the volume by another three points: "I said, go back!"

Still nobody moved.

Alfonso closed his eyes and turned around helplessly.

The commercial street has become a sea of ​​flames, the raging flames engulfing the fragile wooden buildings, and the harsh sound of collapse fills my ears every moment.

Leslie took off his shirt, using the power of "flaming breath", walked in the forefront, clearing the road.

Walton jumped to avoid the falling sparks and hurriedly shouted: "We have to find a way to find those guys!"

Adelina looked at the mice scurrying on the ground, squatted down and picked up one with her hand. Then she pointed in a direction and said to the others: "Go there."

Under the guidance of the woman, the team went to the cellar of a tavern and successfully found the four militiamen who had left the team. But the way out is far more difficult than when it came, and the fire has ignited the entire street. Under the heat, Alfonso even had to take off his iron armor. In the end, everyone used the well water behind the yard to wet the linen piled in the tavern cellar, put them on their bodies and broke the burning walls with weapons, and then rushed out of the flames of hell.

However, the eight people who survived, just arrived outside the commercial street, they encountered a group of pirates hurrying on their way.

The two groups met unexpectedly, each drew out the weapon in his hand and stood in confrontation.

Walton stringed the crossbow machine and pulled Adelina behind him.

Leslie drew the slingshot, and the four militiamen tremblingly drew their daggers.

Alfonso clenched the big sword in his hand, observed the situation on the battlefield with his eyes, and whispered the number of pirates in his mouth.

Seven enemies.

With the roar of the pirates, the battle began.

Walton pressed the button of the crossbow machine, and a crossbow bolt with huge kinetic energy penetrated the wooden shield and inserted into the enemy's eye socket. But he didn't have time to load it again. Looking at the enemy rushing in front of him, the chunky man dropped the crossbow machine, drew out the dagger in his arms, and started fighting with the enemy.

Leslie's "flaming breath" ability has been overused and has no way to function anymore. He drew the tinder stick from his arms, blew it up and bit it between his teeth, took out the small ball from the ammunition bag around his waist, ignited it on the tinder, and shot it out with a slingshot.

Alfonso fought three enemies alone, and the knight who lost his armor had increased agility, but lacked any protective measures, causing him to keep adding large and small wounds.

At this critical juncture, a group of mice rushed to the battlefield from behind Adelina. They climbed onto the pirate’s body, gnawed at their bare skin, even got into their armor, and bit the enemy’s. Abdominal cavity.

The enemy screamed and rolled in pain, trying to get rid of these little demons from him, but all was to no avail. They finally lost their strength and no sound.

Seeing the mice everywhere slowly receding, everyone after the war finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Alfonso sat down on the ground, dressed coarsely, but did not notice that behind him, a pirate covered in blood stood up.

"careful!"

The long sword slashed, blood splattered.

Alfonso looked back and saw Adelina's fallen body.

"what!!!"

The furious Walton picked up the crossbow machine from the ground, rushed behind the crumbling pirate, and hit the back of the opponent with a heavy blow. Facing the fallen enemy, he used the crossbow machine as a warhammer, smashing the murderer's head like crazy. Brains and blood were splattered everywhere, the iron crossbow machine was smashed and deformed, but the chunky man was still like a madman, repeating his attacks mechanically.

"Enough! Walton! Enough!"

Les raised Walton with his arms and pulled him back.

Alfonso picked up Adelina with trembling hands, and the warm liquid dripped slowly on the ground along his arm. The knight's throat seemed to be blocked by a stone, and he could only make a choking sound of Hehe.

Throwing away the big sword, he put the woman on his back and ran towards the guard camp.

"Boss..."

The whisper of the man on his back made the chivalry vigorous: "Adelina! Don't talk, the camp is in front, hold on!"

"Boss, please talk to me for a while, please..." Adelina moved her head closer to Alfonso's ear: "I remember you once asked why you want to live... When I lost my husband, I felt that I was in this world, just an extra accessory. I lived with the heart of seeking death... However, on the subsequent journey, I met many people who cared about me, and they asked me to find a new one. Back to the courage to live..."

The woman exhausted all her energy to say every word: "When parting from the dead~lightnovelpub.net~ We only remember the pain of separation, but always forget the feelings of the living... You can understand what I mean. ?"

Alfonso's eyes were red, and he nodded heavily.

"Great, I can help you in the end, great..." Adelina slowly put her head on the knight's shoulder, and whispered, "Alfonso..."

————————————————

Alfonso de Carvo, covered in blood, took Adelina's cold hand and watched Todd slowly shook his head at him.

The noise of killing outside the camp is getting farther and farther in his ears.

The knight slowly stood up and walked to the door of the camp warehouse. He opened the door, passed numerous alchemy equipment and potions, stopped in front of a glass culture tank, lifted the white cloth that covered it, and stretched his hands towards the object in the liquid, as if he heard Todd's past. Words.

"The duty of the knight is to protect the old and the weak, women and children, and fight for justice to fight against injustice and evil, but there is no so-called right or wrong with the ability of a different species. 』
