Steel, Guns and the Industrial Party Across the World

Chapter 138: magic three

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

Then Victor, like a thrown doll, flew backwards in Paul's direction.

The soldiers who came with the head of the guard saw that the other party was so powerful, and reached a tacit understanding with each other's eyes, raised their swords and slashed at Barnett in unison.

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

He avoided most of the attacks with very quick movements, and still received two or three stabs on his body.

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

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

"He's a wizard, and he used magic to enhance his strength and defense!" The female advisor beside Paul suddenly shouted, "You can't fight him in close quarters, so keep a distance and entangle him."

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

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

The "monster" who had been stabbed a few times didn't seem to have suffered any injuries. He suddenly rushed to the soldier closest to him, and swung his fist with lightning speed.

The soldier's head seemed to be hit by a big hammer, and he fell unconscious on the ground in an instant.

Barnett bowed left and right, almost punching one after another, knocking down a large number of soldiers within a few breaths.

In just a few seconds, he was still fighting while dodging, cleverly avoiding a few arrows shot by the female consultant on the opposite side.

However, he gradually felt that something was wrong. The female archer's aim was too scary. Almost every arrow was aimed at his eyes. If he didn't have [Danger Perception], he would have been shot through by arrows from the eyes. head off.

It is impossible to achieve such a level with the ability of ordinary people, unless...

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

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

Although there was a reminder from the female advisor, before that, whether it was Paul, Victor or the soldiers, they either did not believe in the existence of wizards and magic, or they were stuck with the image of wizards in folklore, and they did not expect the current scene .

In folklore, the image of a wizard is like this:

They wore tall pointed hats, wore gray and shabby robes, leaned on a wooden stick called a wand, had a lot of beards on their faces, and some of them were stooped.

Wizards generally do not choose to confront people head-on, but hide in secret and quietly cast their own plots, 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 having to confront the enemy head-on, the wizard will cast illusions to confuse the opponent, or use a magic wand to cast fireballs at the enemy from a distance, or summon wolves, bats and other animals to help in the battle.

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

But what happened to this burly man in front of him, invulnerable to swords and guns, who rushed to fight hand-to-hand with the enemy at the slightest disagreement? Everything is contrary to the characteristics of the legendary wizard.

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 he was just a daring lunatic, not to mention his bare hands, without any armor on his body. .

Even the female advisor, Ladi, didn't expect that the danger she had divination was brought by a wizard, until the other party showed a certain familiar aura.

After a brief moment of astonishment, Paul regained his senses. Although the female consultant's reminder made him feel absurd, he couldn't care less. Whether it was a legendary wizard or not, it was wrong for the other party to take his life. will be wrong.

"Musket! Kill that **** with a musket!"

He anxiously ordered the guards around him, ten of them were carrying matchlock guns.

Due to the limited production of muskets and huǒyào, they were given priority to the land and sea armies that defend against external enemies. The internal guards were only equipped with a small amount of firearms, and the main equipment was cold weapons such as swords.

So they don't conduct shooting training every three to five like soldiers in the army and navy, but only shoot a few shots occasionally, so as not to forget the operation steps.

It is precisely because of this that they did not immediately think of taking off their muskets. Faced with such a tense situation, they subconsciously relied on the more familiar knives or sabers.

And after Paul gave the order to use the musketeers, their actions of loading dànyào did not have the smooth flow of the full-time musketeers.

It is very troublesome to load the matchlock gun. What's more unfortunate is that the matchlock has to be lit in the bitter cold wind, and it will go out if you are not careful.

At this time, the soldiers who rushed up with Victor were basically knocked down by the wizard. They were lying on the ground, either dead or alive, or shēnyín due to injuries.

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

Seeing the enemy approaching, Ladi said in a deep voice, "I'll buy you time, get your muskets ready!"

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

Ladi has watched the soldiers' shooting training, even after casting [Concentration], she has never captured the trajectory of the bullet, and she was deeply impressed by that speed.

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

Before the words were finished, ripples visible to the human eye appeared in the surrounding air centered on the female advisor. Soon, Paul and the soldiers were surprised to find themselves wrapped in a translucent "hood".

"Sure enough..." Seeing all of this, Barnett's eyes blazed with anger~lightnovelpub.net~ My previous suspicions were indeed correct! "

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

The translucent "cover" rippled in a circle, and the fist as big as the casserole pierced through it all at once, but it stopped there. The wizard's body was still outside the "cover", tightly "sticking" to it but unable to step forward.

"Hurry up!" Paul was so anxious that tears almost came out, urging the Musketeers around him.

"Hmph!" Barnett withdrew his fist, "I want to see how long you can last!"

He swung his arms continuously, punching the "hood" hard.

"traitor!"

"You are the same as us!"

"He even disregarded his own status to serve mortals!"

"Helping these lowly creatures fight against their own compatriots, you are doing your best!"

Barnett was yelling while punching his fists. Dirty sentences came out of his mouth continuously. The female consultant had completely attracted his hatred.

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

"Everyone! Aim!"

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

Finally, all the muskets were 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 refused to dodge or dodge. When the sword slashed past, he even dodged.

So, in order to inflict maximum damage on each other, they decided to fire together.

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