Blood tax

Chapter 135 The Fierce Attack and Defense
Ball lightning roared.The flames are shaping in its hands, and the frost is congealing and extending.

The rebel armor had never seen such a monster, and though they were tough and brave, they could not comprehend this inhuman creature.

It wields a flaming whip in its right hand, and holds a greatsword made of solid ice in its left.

The violent air current lifted Belen Wusi's figure and rolled towards the rebels.The latter subconsciously raised the shield to form a solid shield wall.

If it is against large creatures and mutated monsters, this is indeed true.

But elemental creatures are different.

Berenus doesn't have sharp teeth and claws, nor does he need a terrifying body bump.It raised the frost greatsword and swept across the shield wall. The blade was wrapped in blizzard and knocked them all back. Several armored rebels were knocked to the ground.A flaming whip followed, lashing the armored leg of a rebel.

The surging scorching energy made a loud noise tearing through the air, cutting through the armored thighs of the rebels as easily as a hot knife cutting butter.The smooth section can even clearly see blood vessels, bone marrow and nerves, and the wound does not even leave traces of burning.

"Kill it!"

The rest of the rebels were taken aback by their armor, and rushed forward to smash Berenus with knives and armor-piercing hammers.The crystal shield sent out bursts of ripples, and it remained motionless in the face of an attack that could tear apart a solid armor.

With a wave of its hands, the ice sword and fire whip disappeared, replaced by a mass of raging flames.

The rebels were caught off guard, and were burnt beyond recognition by the turbulent flames on the spot.The flames bit them through the gaps in the armor, burning the metal red, and the armored soldiers collapsed in an instant.

Berenus rushed past them, and rushed straight to the rebel group behind, sweeping them with a hot stream of fire.

More than 200 rebels who followed the armored guards of Reims watched the huge monster like a war elephant charge into the crowd.The flames tore apart their formation in a blink of an eye, causing them to scream heart-piercingly.

Berenus rampaged through the crowd, waving his hands and throwing flames from time to time, killing as much as he wanted.Its dull voice growled:

"We are burning, we are freezing!"

Contradictory and chaotic forces converged into twisted psychic turbulence, driving the terrifying elemental lord to rampage.

Lance, who was fighting, suddenly found that his infantry was already in a rout.

He collected himself, calmly suppressed Lana's attack axis with the sheep bone shield, swung the flail and smashed it over his head and face.

Lana was beaten back step by step.

If it was an ordinary person, he could rely on the heavy armor shield to resist the enemy's damage, and use the horse-killing sword or the edge of the majestic anger to suppress it.Whether it is the weight of the big sword or the sharpness of the broken steel sword, it is enough to defeat the enemy.

Even, Kulala is still supporting him with continuous sniping.

However, although there were several sharp arrows stuck in Lance's body, there was no hindrance at all.

When Lana faced Lance's precise and powerful blow, he felt as if he had been sucked into a hailstorm, and he couldn't breathe under the pressure of the fierce attack.

His movements began to deform, and his rhythm became chaotic. He felt tired in a very short time, and even his breathing became disordered.

The two are not on the same level at all.

Although he wasn't instantly sent flying like Murat and Nona, he couldn't hold on any longer.

Lana made a backhand block with the Zhanmajian, grabbed the broken steel sword at his waist and swept it away, trying to create a little breathing time for himself.

Unexpectedly, Lance took advantage of the situation and retreated, turned around and chased in the direction of Belen Wusi.The rebels wore armor like a tacit understanding, and immediately turned around to block Lana's pursuit and stop him.

Lance's burly body rushed towards Berenus at an unimaginable speed.At the moment of the encounter, his flail once again appeared like a phantom traveling through the plane, and smashed towards the elemental lord with a deafening whistling sound.

"boom--!"

The thick shield made an itchy rattle, and large cracks appeared like glass.The earth and the air trembled.Sonia, who was helping the battle from a distance, was almost blown away by the strong wind.However, the surging magic power of Belen Wus immediately repaired the damaged shield, and swept it with scorching fire.

……

"Bertier and the others are really powerful." Murat shouted happily.He and Nona fell into a state of dizziness and sluggishness for a long time after being hit, and by the time the two got up, the confrontation was over.

"No, not yet," Nona wiped off the blood on her forehead, and denied in a low voice, "Berthier and Dedius are blood relatives, able to cast some mysterious forbidden spells.

"However, their high-level descent and fusion completely exceeded the limit of their ability, and they can only last for less than 3 minutes, otherwise there is a great possibility that they will not be able to restore their human bodies. In order to protect their safety, their families have already Prohibitions and hints are imposed, limiting their duration.

"Under Lance's attack, the time they can persist is definitely shorter."

The armored and infantry brigade of the rebels had escaped from the pursuit of the elemental lord, changed the direction of attack, and rushed towards the position of the three.

Nona glanced at her left hand, and found that her forearm had been bent ninety degrees under the attack just now.

"Mura, take your hand."

As soon as the words fell, she grabbed the hand of her old comrade-in-arms and stuffed it into her mouth. She pressed the joint of her left hand with her right hand and pressed it hard.

"Crack!"

"Wow!"

Murat yelled.

Nona's left forearm has been reset, and with the blessing of the Eternal Patriarch, the broken bones and nerve injuries will be healed faster.She hastily poured herself a bottle of healing potion, the corners of her mouth twitched, and she was sweating profusely from the pain.

Lana's eyelids twitched when he saw such a simple and clear treatment plan.He took back the Broken Steel Sword, held the Horse-Chopping Sword in his hand and said, "Then, regardless of the outcome of the battle on Berenus' side, we must clear up these rebels as soon as possible."

Murat took a shield from behind and threw it to Nona, standing behind her with a halberd himself.

Six rebels in armor and hundreds of rebel infantry charged towards the gap again holding spears and axes.

The three Shutorals who were guarding there suddenly left their position, and led by Nona to counterattack them.

"Shoot the gun!"

"Shoot them!"

The leader of the six armors took the armor-piercing throwing gun in their hands, and threw a volley at Nona who was rushing forward.They must all have been veterans of the legion, even the skills and tactics are exactly the same.

The spear first penetrated the shield, and then made a series of armor-breaking sounds on the solid shield.Although their strength was weakened by the two layers of defense, one of the javelins stabbed Nona in the arm, and the other pierced through the shield and hit the shoulder of her breastplate, knocking her down.

Before Nona fell down, Murat had already flashed from her back, and the halberd pierced through the armor of a rebel who couldn't dodge like lightning, digging a gap in the human wall.

Without pausing, Murat passed through the rest of the armor, and rushed into the middle of the rebel brigade that followed.The halberd swept across the flesh and blood, and the blade of the ax and the tip of the spear tore apart the rain of blood.Several rebels tried to surround him from behind, but were suddenly swept by a heavy iron ball.

The tail weight of the halberd collided between people's faces like a meteorite, bringing crackling bone cracks and screams.

The rebels put on their armor and were about to turn around to rescue them.A ferocious black image jumped directly into the gap that Murat cut like a meteorite.

Lana fell to the ground with a crash.He knelt on one knee, carrying a heavy Zhanma sword on his shoulders, his cold eyes swept around, and a cruel smile flashed on the corner of his mouth.

The sharp sword edge swept like a gust of wind.The rebels surrounded by armor suddenly lost their center of gravity.When they came back to their senses, they saw ferocious warriors like black wolves wreaking havoc between their knees with horse-chopping swords.

The two short legs sprayed with blood were still standing in the muddy water, no matter how they looked, they looked like their own calves.

In a short assault, the three of them broke through the ranks of the rebels.Lana and Murat killed all the armored rebels in a blink of an eye, and launched a pursuit to the terrified rebel infantry.

The two of them were like wolves like a flock of sheep, chopping melons and vegetables and slaughtering them wantonly.

The infantry of this group of rebels was much tougher and braver than the previous two waves, and many of them fought desperately, never retreating.

The rebels stabbed with densely packed short spears.The spear head hit the shield, and then broke off on the sloping breastplate.The broken tip of the gun even flew into the face of the gunman.

"What kind of defense is this!"

Amidst bursts of exclamations, Lana's great sword tore apart the little rebel leader who was wearing armor, Murat's halberd swept across the crowd, and the ax blade set off pieces of broken limbs.Armored or unarmored, they are like paper under their attacks.

"What kind of attack is this!"

The warriors in the rebel army charged round after round, but they could neither penetrate Lana's heavy armor, nor were they themselves killed instantly by the thunderous blow.

A team of spearmen squeezed over and took up positions aside, preparing to use armor-piercing spearmen to destroy Shutoral.However, before they could stagger with the chaotic brigade, Lana in heavy armor had rushed into them, killing them in pieces like mowing grass.

The rebels frantically pursued them, but their speed couldn't catch up to the Extraordinary with heavy sword and heavy armor.By the time they arrived at the shooter's position, Lana had left corpses everywhere and rushed into a group of archers.

"What speed is this!"

The hardy rebels were shaken under horrific casualties.They are very brave, but they have never encountered such an enemy who cannot penetrate, defend, or catch up. More than 200 elite rebel soldiers are in danger like saplings in a strong wind, and Rana and Murat are two hurricanes.

"Monster!"

A rebel screamed and fled to the raft behind.

"The knights of Byeland are all monsters!"

"It's lost, it's lost!"

The rebels lost nearly half of their soldiers in a very short period of time, and the rest fled frantically to the raft they had come from.In the area with a deeper water level, more rebel reinforcements arrived, but they collapsed together when they saw the bloody battlefield and the ferocious foot cavalry.

Pieces of rebels rolled backwards and fled like rolled up straw mats and ebbing sea water.They screamed and screamed, and fled frantically to the rear, even jumping into the muddy water regardless of whether they could swim or not.

Lana and Murat were about to go after them and kill them all when they heard Nona's voice.

"You two, come back quickly, Berthier and the others can't hold it anymore!"

……

Berenus in the fierce battle is cracking and disintegrating.Although it is a powerful elemental lord, its power is limited by the enchantment of descent.It also does not have its own weapons and equipment, and is completely consumed by magic power and Lance.

Under the impact of the astonishingly lethal flail, it retreated steadily, and finally shattered.

Berthier and Dedius fell heavily to the ground in human form.Their faces and lips were as white as paper, and their mental strength was so exhausted that they couldn't even stand up.

"Huh ~ finally!"

Lance took a breath, raised the flail and slammed it down on Dedius' head and face.

"Bah!"

A sharp arrow hit his wrist, stopping the fatal blow unexpectedly.

It was too late for Kulala to change her position.She saw that Lana and the others were coming, and it would take at least five seconds to arrive, which was enough time for Lance to kill her lord Dedius three times.

She drew out her armor-piercing arrow and shot another arrow at Lance, who was determined to shoot Dedius to death.

The arrow pierced through the gap in Lance's shoulder armor, shaking him unexpectedly.

hurt him!

So far in the battle, Kulala has hit Lance at least seven or eight times.The rebel leader was pierced with arrows all over his body like a hedgehog, but he was still extremely fierce, and this time the attack finally had some substantial trauma.

Leaving Dedius alone, Lance turned around like a storm, stared at her with astonishing momentum and anger, and grabbed a bow and arrow from the ground full of dead bodies and weapons.

Kulala felt as if she was being stared at by a beast from the abyss, and the icy chill spread to her limbs.With a "swish", she jumped into the bunker passageway that had been built, avoiding the gaze of the enemy.

However, the indescribable crisis and fear materialized in the air as if there were a real horror shadow, and the terrible monster had already bit her.The aura of killing seemed to be alive, no matter where she hid, it couldn't go away.

"What's going on?" She murmured to herself in amazement, "I'm already hiding!"

"Kulala! Run!" Nona exclaimed from afar.

run?Where are you going?Where is the danger?
Before she could figure it out, a heavy arrow suddenly appeared above her head, smashing a masonry.The arrow shaft broke at the same time as it hit, and the sharp arrow changed its angle and bounced towards her.

"Bah!"

The silver-haired Shutoral didn't even have time to snort, he raised his head and fell down from the protective wall.

……

Nona sprinted towards Lance with all her strength, grabbed a spear on the ground and threw it over.

Before her, Murat had thrown the halberd with greater force.

In order to snipe Kulala, Lance did not have time to resist with a sheep bone shield.

"Oh!"

"Oh!"

With two dull piercing sounds, Lance's breastplate and leg armor were penetrated in two places respectively.Gritting his teeth, he tried his best to cut off the shafts of the javelin and halberd, and retreated with the tip of the spear.

Lana was like an invading black flame, swirling the Zhanma sword in the air, and slashed with a sword.

The powerful and strangely shaped sheep bone shield blocked this attack.At the same time, Lance took out a black short sword from his waist.He pressed down on Lana's sword with his backhand, and the dagger pierced Lana's breastplate as soon as he sent it.

Fiona, who was providing shield support in the distance, was shocked, showing a panicked look, and the crystal shield disappeared.

Nona rushed forward with her sword and stabbed Lance in the lower abdomen on the right side.The strong muscles clamped her long sword like steel, and she couldn't get in or out.

Lance waved his hand and knocked Nona to the ground.Although he was also seriously injured, he still pulled out the flail and swung it towards Murat who was rushing.

Murat, who had no halberd, met with a long sword, and was knocked to the ground by the broken blade in just one round.

"Oh, you guys, little... oh!"

Just as Lance was about to say a harsh word, his whole body trembled suddenly, and blood spurted out directly from his mouth.

With one hand, Lana grabbed the weird dagger that had been pierced into his chest, and with the other hand, he pulled out the Majestic Fury, stabbed it towards his chest, and stirred it vigorously.

The two received a sword each, and glared at each other fiercely.In the end, Lance's strength was even better. He desperately broke free from Lana's strength, and took a few steps back while clutching his bleeding wound.

"Little bastard, I want to kill you..."

He swears while spitting blood, but weakness and trembling have appeared in his body.

Wizard Reed rushed over, and all the rebels around him ran away, only he could come here with the courage.

The leader of the rebel army was already crumbling, and the noble heirs from Bayeran and their guards were lying on the ground.

Wizard Reed was about to chant an attack spell to take their lives when he suddenly noticed a silver figure with a sword and a shield rushing towards him.

And knights?Wizard Reed was taken aback. Out of the corner of his eye, he saw a blond girl in silver armor slashing at him with a sword. He was caught off guard, and his wand and two fingers were cut off and fell into the water.

"Retreat!" Lance growled.

Fiona arrived, she was wearing a breastplate like Sutoral, holding a sharp sword, and her whole body was wrapped in a faint golden light.Behind her, Sonia was sketching the shape of the spell, and a icy air current was taking shape.

"Return to the camp." Lance and Wizard Reed dropped the results they were about to obtain and quickly retreated.

……

Sonia sat at the table, slightly curling the ends of her hair.

Although she was very nervous and scared, everyone seemed to be more nervous and scared than her.The professor is dead, and Shutoral is all down.Only some low-level teaching assistants and dozens of classmates were present.

Berthier is sorting out the battle situation, lightening the wounded and losses:

"The rebels may break through the defenses at night. All the Hutorals are wounded, Rana and Kulala are seriously injured, and the baron is leading men to repair the broken wall.

"Although Iseus was not injured, he suffered a great mental shock when he cast the spell, and he is still in chaos."

Sonia nodded.Beside her, Fiona was crying like a tearful man.The sword that Lana received was very strange, and a strange black breath lingered in the wound, unable to subside.

Sonia bit her lip, clenched her fist, and said to herself——be calm, Sonia.Now it's up to you to take responsibility.

Sonia tried her best to maintain a faint smile, calmly and clearly said to a room of students who were about to collapse:

"Griffith is near the old town, and there is still a group of city defense troops there. As long as Griffith launches an attack, everything will be fine."

Berthier was stunned for a moment, and reminded in a low voice: "Sonia, according to the previous information, Griffith cannot launch an attack..."

"..."

Sonia froze in shock.

Dedius couldn't stand his companion's chattering, and said, "The Echo Crystal's communication has gradually recovered. Griffith arrived at the legion's camp on the 18th. Whether he escaped the flood is unknown."

Sonia felt as if someone had hammered her head, and almost fainted.

She bit her lip, and the quill rolled to the table.She pressed her hands tightly to the desk so that no one would notice that she was trembling:

"Let's go back and rest first, Shutoral will be on the night shift, and we will all get up early tomorrow."

"Fiona, Berthier, Dedius, please stay."

Sonia's voice was very gentle, but she was already on the verge of collapse.

Why?Why did Griffith go to the camp south?How did things get to this point...

I shouldn't give in to Professor Weitzleben, I shouldn't give in, I should call on all my classmates to oppose him, even if we don't succeed, we should run away at night.

If I escape from here, Griffith will not be in danger...

Sonia felt that she was about to cry, she hurriedly wiped away her tears, and said calmly: "We must break through. It is impossible for everyone to rush out, but one or two people can be rushed out. Go to Old Town to gather reinforcements, Help us contain the rebels before Bajeran's reinforcements arrive."

"The rebels will intercept us," Berthier tried to shake off his bleak sorrow. "We can cover them and rush out for a while, but those who break through must have sufficient protection and certain combat effectiveness."

"Then let's concentrate on sending a courier." Sonia felt her thinking became clearer. "The courier must not only go to Old Town to seek reinforcements, but also have enough influence to supervise them."

　Post first and then change.
