Chapter 2722 A hundred years of loneliness (nineteen)
The white horse transformed from the Xia Frost dragon and the big white wolf transformed from the demons began to gallop in the wilderness, heading north along the complex mountain roads of the island.
The mountain road is rough and should be very difficult for ordinary horses to walk. However, no matter whether Arthur's team is a [horse] or a [wolf], they are not extraordinary, they are still walking like flying in this rugged mountain road and dense forest area, like walking on the ground. A group of people can keep moving at high speed in this kind of mountains, and can even be much faster than sailboats that rely on wind and ocean currents.
As soon as the sun went down, the group was about to arrive at Bastia, a small town in northern Corsica. This is almost half of the total scheduled itinerary.
"Is your horse transformed from a monster? Carrying two people for a whole day without getting tired at all?" Belleta said after the speed slowed down.
"Hahaha..." Arthur didn't want to explain, he just laughed it off. Hyosung is a dragon. Even if it is just a young dragon, it would be a piece of cake to carry two humans over one or two European countries, not to mention that it has only crossed most of the island now.
"That's great." Verne, who rode a wolf, also said: "Tonight, I finally have a tile to cover my head, so I don't have to sleep in the open."
He really hates being bitten by mosquitoes, and the mosquitoes seem to be chasing this kid specifically, as if his blood is especially sweet.
"Not necessarily." Arthur jumped off his horse and gestured to everyone, asking everyone to keep a low profile.
Night was falling, but Bastia, which was supposed to be a port town, had no lights at all, and the darkness was unusually quiet. The villagers either have the habit of going to bed early (this is too exaggerated, right?), or they are ordered not to step out of the house. At worst, they might all be killed.
"People from the church?" Verne asked in a low voice.
"I don't know." Arthur used the surrounding vegetation as a cover, and held the monocular to observe while squatting.
Under the moonlight, there seemed to be some silver shadows shaking in the dark town, but it was not clear from this distance. There is a large flat open space near the town, and there is almost no place to hide in the middle. If Arthur continues to approach, and there are people with good eyesight in the town, the other party may be able to spot Arthur and his party by relying on the night.
Whether it's Bedivere turning into a big white wolf or Hyosung turning into a white horse, it's very inconvenient to sneak under the moonlight.
"Well, your horse turned around and ran away," Verne said.
"Don't worry about him," Arthur said. Soon after, a white parrot flew back and landed beside Arthur.
"Oops." said Belleta, who had already grabbed the binoculars to observe: "The coat of arms of the Holy Cross on that dress can't be wrong—that's indeed a member of the Knights of the Pope. ."
"How many?" Arthur asked nervously.
"At least two people can be identified. There are also five members of the Holy See Crusade." The witch put down the telescope in her hand: "There is no doubt that they are waiting for us here. Our whereabouts have been revealed? From a Predicted from the start?"
"No." The king of knights said: "The number of people on guard is too small. This is not an ambush, it is just a checkpoint. They don't know if we will go this way, but they have to guard them, so they only send some of them. People guard this place."
"Go around?"
"I can't get around it. Even if we take advantage of the night to capture the sailboat from here and go to sea, we will be seen halfway through. If the sailboat at sea is destroyed by a rocket, we will surely die." Arthur thought for a while: "Nevertheless, if we attack directly In this place, they will also use carrier pigeons to tip off the Vatican. Unless------"
"Unless there is no leak, all the enemies here will be wiped out." Verne added suddenly.
Arthur and Belletta looked at the kid at the same time. If this was said by the King of Knights or the Witch, it probably wouldn't be so discordant. But it was horrifying to be said by a child like Verne.
"Eh? No, what are you thinking? It's annoying, and they didn't say it was to kill the enemy here." The boy took out a bottle of medicine: "This is the poison that the kind fat big brother gave me before. But it's more like anesthesia. It seems to be extracted from some kind of mushroom. Use this on the arrow, just rub it lightly on the flesh, and the opponent will lose resistance immediately. It won't die, just sleep for a few days. ."
"Can it be hit?" Arthur asked with a stern face: "When they let their guard down, they might be able to hit one or two members of the Holy See Crusaders. But the Pope's Knights are elites, there is no way It's easy to be attacked by you. And once someone falls down there, others will be alerted, and you will be even more missed."
"No. Use [Gun Formation]." Verne said calmly: "Distribute these arrows to the golems of the Gun Formation, I will do the aiming, and lock on six targets at a time. It's always possible. Simultaneous fires, simultaneous hits, six down, two remaining, am I right?"
"There's one left, little idiot." Arthur tapped Verne on the head. Does seven minus six count?
"No, there are two left. As you said, those two people from the Pope's Knights are very powerful. My shot will probably be avoided." Verne rubbed his head and said aggrieved.
Arthur thought for a moment and asked the witch: "Okay, let's say it's the two remaining members of the Pope's Knights. If they are outnumbered, will they escape? If they escape and report the news, it will be troublesome. ."
"They shouldn't escape." Belletta continued to observe with the telescope: "There is one ship in the port, the Holy See ship. The other ships were all scuttled. These idiots may be trying to trap us, But instead they're cocooning themselves. If they dare to escape in a boat, we'll shoot that sailboat with rockets."
"Then we don't have to cross the sea..."
The witch actually replied seriously: "That kind of thing will be considered after the battle is over."
This guy is definitely a fighter...
"Okay. Verne, call the [Guns]."
The boy nodded and activated the weapon ring. [Epic Legion---Gun Formation (Phala
x)] emerged from the ring, turning into shielded turrets made of black steel. Their solid shields can form an absolute defensive position, and their large-caliber ballistas are the most ideal siege weapons. The black exterior made of special mithril hardly reflects any light. In addition to the shortcoming of extremely low mobility, this [Legion] can be described as an ideal choice for sieging the city and breaking through the army.
Verne mounted special crossbow bolts with narcotics on top of these turrets, a device used to fire secondary arrows. It's a strange operation to actually not let the [Legion] fire guns and only use them to fire arrows.
"Verne, you're not going to kill anyone yet, are you?" Arthur asked.
"No. I already have the consciousness of killing people, but it's definitely not good to bombard them right now? The movement is too loud. God knows if they will have more ambush."
"...Indeed." Although the movement of the town could be clearly seen from this high and low position, it was confirmed that the number of enemies was only six. But it's hard to completely rule out that there aren't more enemies hiding in the house.
"Then you can wait until the situation gets out of hand and then start bombarding, right?" Arthur asked again.
"It's okay, just blow the enemy to death at that time." Verne said.
The knight king and the witch wink at each other.
"Wow." Bedivere reminded in a low voice that he could go around to the other side of the town to attack.
"Go." Arthur nodded. At this time, Bedivere was just a wolf, looking like a wild animal. Even if he is witnessed by the enemy, it is relatively easy to be alerted - as long as the big white wolf does not act with Arthur and others.
"The remaining two members of the Knights of the Pope, we two will clean up one person each, no problem?" Arthur asked Belletta again.
"One-on-one, I won't lose." The witch took out her full armor and replied.
"Let's get started, then." Arthur ordered.
Whoosh whoosh whoosh! Six special arrows shot out instantly, hitting the town. Arthur and Belleta also dashed out at the same time and began to attack. The arrow arrived first, and at the moment when the arrow arrived, the enemy hadn't found Arthur and the others. A wave of arrows fell precisely on the arms, calves, and shoulders of those Holy See Crusaders, easily piercing the weak parts of these people's chainmail and piercing their flesh. The crossbow bolts with powerful anesthetic ingredients worked so quickly that the five Holy See Crusaders fell down without any resistance, which made Arthur and the others feel a lot less worried!
And just as Arthur and the others predicted, members of the Knights of the Pope, stronger than the Holy See Crusades, escaped Verne's arrows. The man must not have noticed the attack and avoided the attack. He should have subconsciously dodged after hearing the sound of crossbow arrows breaking in the air, avoiding the blow. The crossbow arrow brushed past his calf, but the opponent was protected by armor, and the poison of the crossbow arrow could not penetrate the armor and take effect on the enemy!
Anyway. Arthur rushed over and slashed with his sword as fast as he could!
The sword light of the Seraph Sacred Sword swept across, and one of the opponent's arms fell to the ground. It was the opponent's dominant hand with a spear, the right arm! The King of Knights kicked the opponent with one kick. The Pope Knight was kicked away, and before he could get up, Bedivere sneaked up from behind him~IndoMTL.com~ with a sword that pierced the knight's chest.
On the Witch's side, the opponents were beaten by the flowing continuous arrows. The arrows would explode when they hit the object. Although the impact was only a very weak explosion, the person wearing the armor was shocked. Injured and had to step back. Belleta's four bursts of blasting bolts seem to be specially designed to crack the heavy armor of knights. The blasting impact with well-controlled firepower can be well absorbed by the opponent's plate armor, turning it into an impact that reverberates throughout the enemy's body! That's almost like hitting an enemy all over with a hammer. No matter how hard the outer armor is, as long as it is knocked hard, the person inside the armor will still be unable to withstand the violent shock and be injured internally! The man couldn't stand the continuous shock, and finally fell to the ground, and something bright red spurted out of the gap in his helmet!
It's a little weird. Although Arthur and the others had perfectly timed their attacks, they should have dealt heavy damage to the enemy in the first blow. But now the situation is too smooth, right? The knights of the Pope's Knights, called "the elite of the elite" by Goff, were so easily killed by Arthur and Bedivere and knocked down by the witch Beyuleta? seriously? Unless it's just, it looks smooth on the surface------
"Stay away from them!" Arthur shouted quickly when he saw the abnormality of the fallen Pope knight.
There are two dark shadows emerging from the bodies of the two papal knights who died and fell to the ground!
