Struggle in the Steam Age
Chapter 263: Last hit
"How many people are there?" Lawrence asked the little character Nora who was floating beside him while putting bullets on his rifle. "And what is the strength of the opponent?"
"I don't know much, because if I take the initiative to investigate, I will probably be locked in the exact position by the other party. I don't want to be besieged by a group of people. After all, I just changed my clothes and I don't want to be broken like this." Pull shook his head gently. Then he raised his hand and looked at the metal wire that hadn't noticed and didn't protect it in the acid mist just now. After being corroded by the acid mist, it became a little bit dim.
"But what is certain is that the other party has one and only one spellcaster. This spellcaster is a mage." It may be that the words she just said are a bit inappropriate, so Nara tilted her head and recalled it. Speaking of.
"This information is enough." Seeing Nora raised her head with an embarrassed expression, Lawrence smiled and stroked her little head. After all, the task that Lawrence left her just now was to fish in troubled waters while the fog was blocking her vision, and how many she could kill. Being able to actively detect important information like Nora has far exceeded Lawrence's expectations.
At this moment, a wind blew from the other side of the alley. Although Lawrence also added a lot of magical materials to his own bottled acid mist to give the mist some magical properties. But in the face of such wind, it is still easy to be blown away. So he knew that the mist would not last long.
So he dropped a few pharmacy bottles underground again, and the judge took Nara's hand and flew quickly across the wall in front of him. But when he climbed over the fence, he took a piece of cloth from the space bag and threw it on the fence.
After dozens of seconds, the fog finally dissipated, and the black armored warrior walked on the front side holding the axe and shield. In fact, the acid mist just now did not cause much harm to him, but after discovering that the mist had affected his vision and hearing, he really did not dare to enter such a place to face the possible danger.
And now the eight corpses lying on the ground after the fog had subsided proved his caution: six people died at the exit of a house, and each had a huge wound on their neck. And according to the state of the scene, it can be seen that these people were killed almost at the same time.
You know, among the six people, there are two elite ordinary gunners and two gang gold medalists, as well as an apprentice-level magic gunner equipped with a magic rifle and a formal-level warrior. The opponent who could kill them in an instant was terrifying even for the leading black armored warrior.
On the contrary, the two apprentice-level rogues who died in the distance did not cause much disturbance in his heart, because it can be seen that the two rogues died after fighting, unlike the one nearby. Six people died strangely at the same time and almost without struggle.
In fact, the people who ordered them to assassinate were not without more powerful transcendents, but the problem was that in order to prevent Lawrence from successfully escaping outside the city, the assassination site chosen by these assassins was within the range of the city wall. . As long as these powerful transcendents within the capital city wall dare to use their hands, they can easily be locked by the magic tower in the middle of the city, and it is basically impossible to escape.
Therefore, in this case, they can only send professional-level transcendents to avoid being locked out. And the only reason that Nara used a power beyond the professional level but did not cause the magic tower to react is only one, and that is that the signal sent by the inquisitor has worked.
"What should we do next?" The remaining five chasers handed over the decision to the leading black armored fighter, because they realized that there was a dead end in front of them, and their goal had disappeared. .
"Keep chasing!" After a brief thought, the leading black armored warrior made up his mind. "The opponent should not be far away, and we almost mobilized everyone in the capital this time. If we fail, the opponent will be prepared, and we won't have the opportunity to organize the next attack. After all, Lord Duke— —"
"Understood. It's all for the Lord Duke." The others shouted in a low voice while placing their right hand on their chest, and then rushed along the alley. Just as they arrived at a distance from the wall, the explosives and potions that Lawrence had arranged before crossing the wall and leaving violently exploded.
However, because the opponent was accompanied by a mage, these temporary traps did not harm any ambushers. Even their explosion is the result of the magic detonation used by the wizard after discovering the arrangements made by Lawrence.
After getting rid of the trap, two fighters in the group set up a human ladder under the wall. After that, the leading black-armored warrior and another swordsman with a rapier stepped on the human ladder and jumped onto the wall. The head happened to see that the target they were going to kill this time was aiming at them with a large gun in his hand.
"Boom! Boom!" After seeing two figures appearing on the wall, Lawrence immediately pulled the trigger of the grenade launcher in his hand, and a grenade hit the shield raised by the black armored soldier and exploded. .
After the grenade exploded, many of those enchanted fragments hit the unsuspecting swordsman, causing him to fall down in blood after a scream. However, the black armored warrior did not retreat. He first screamed, and then his body inflated like a balloon.
"How is it possible?" Lawrence showed a shocked expression. He just learned from Nora that this black armored soldier was probably the commander of this group of killers, but he never thought that a berserker could become a commander. .
But facts speak louder than words. Seeing the berserker who rushed forward with a gleaming blue light axe roaring, Lawrence knew he had to do something. After all, the opponent's current charging speed is no less than a batch of fine horses. Once this berserker's signature skill, Brutal Crash, is activated, even if an armored rhino is blocked in front, it is very likely to be killed alive.
[Spider Web Technique] [Magic Missile], two magics were continuously released by Lawrence, but the spider web technique did not hinder the opponent's charge. Although the magic missile hit the opponent's thigh that could not be covered by the expansion of the body. A wound the size of a ping-pong ball, but did not stop the opponent's charge.
At this time, the only judge with melee combat capability was busy shooting to stop others from climbing over the wall in front of him~lightnovelpub.net~ It was too late to block the fatal blow in front of Lawrence.
More importantly, Lawrence discovered that the berserker's eyes were not madness, but calmness. In other words, the opponent is a very rare berserker who can maintain self-awareness in a frenzy. It is no wonder that the axe and shield in his hand are all shining with magical light, and at the same time he can become the leader of this bunch of attackers.
In addition to the magical glow on weapons and armors, Lawrence also discovered that the necklace made up of unknown animal fangs hanging around his neck was also a magic item, which showed the aura of body strengthening magic. Lawrence felt that this was probably the reason why the magic missile that he put on an ordinary person just now could directly break a person's thigh, only left a small wound on his leg.
Naturally, the berserker who maintained his self-awareness also discovered the goal in front of him. In his eyes, the two consecutive spells just now were just the target's dying, and then he only had to move a few meters forward and then swing his axe to cut it down.
But what he thought was a little strange, why not only did the prey on the opposite face not have an expression of fear, but instead showed a completely untimely smile.
