The Emerald Tower

Chapter 210 The Feast of Winter (2)

"It's a pity, he should be a good guy!"

Keith finally shook his head and sighed.

"The subordinates of the 'Venomous Scorpion' are not only proficient in three-stage shooting, the distance of fifty feet is enough for them to complete three rounds of shooting, and they also have two full-body armored knights as shields, even if Dean Ken Your Excellency will be blocked if you approach quickly, and... that is the most dangerous time for His Excellency Dean Ken!"

Nord whispered softly, agreeing with the temporary allies around him.

"That's better than being shot all the time by a guy who is proficient in three-shot, right?"

Kesde frowned, and asked with doubts in his tone.

After all, to deal with crossbowmen's three-stage shooting, apart from strong shields and armor, there is only a quick approach. This is a point that everyone agrees on.

And this is even more so in front of him. When there is only one person on his side, if he gets entangled with two people on the other side, those crossbowmen will obviously be useless—even Kest believes that this is the only chance for Dean to win. .

"That's a normal situation. If you leave out the 'poisonous scorpion'... that guy's bow skills are very powerful, and that skill exceeds the level of ordinary great knights!"

Nord said with a wry smile.

Obviously, Nord, who is also from Del County, has a much deeper understanding of the 'Venomous Scorpion'.

"Then this is a trap?!"

Keith said in surprise.

"Well, that guy used this move to trick many opponents!"

Nord nodded, then sighed again.

same. Keith sighed too.

undoubtedly. For two people. They thought that Dean must die; after all, Dean was only a young man who had just completed his baptism of knighthood and was only a month old.

Even with outstanding talent, it is impossible to win in such a situation.

...

"Okay!"

Facing the shout of 'Poisonous Scorpion', Dean,

He also answered loudly; then, Baron Tire, who was standing at the gate of the town, acted as the referee, and shouted: "Start!"

whoosh whoosh...

Almost immediately after Baron Tire's words fell, a shower of arrows exploded from the side of the poisonous scorpion mercenaries.

Not all straight arrows shot from crossbows. There is also a parabolic arrow shot from the longbow, which adds another level of difficulty to the already difficult dodge.

What's more, it seems that this kind of 'rain of arrows' will not stop, it is continuous!

whoosh whoosh...

The dark arrows made the sound of piercing the air, and the airflow formed by the arrows pierced the scattered snow curtain in front of them. The snowflakes that fell out of nowhere, rolled back and were wrapped in the body of the arrow and shot forward. , adding a touch of white to the black. Some of the arrows appeared behind them in white, as if they were tail flames.

A rain of arrows approached. Dean slowly drew out his long sword, his whole body seemed to be loaded with springs, and rushed forward——

Ding, ding, ding...

While the long sword was dancing, the blades seemed to be connected together, forming a 'shield' in front of Dean; the arrow was nailed to the 'shield', and there was a crisp sound immediately.

Arrows shot and swords swung.

The former is non-stop, and the latter is also non-stop!

Dean narrowed the distance between the two sides in this way, and the 'Scorpion' who was standing behind his subordinate on the opposite side waved his hand in a calm manner. Immediately, two knight-level mercenaries in steel armor rushed forward. Come out; and 'poisonous scorpion' himself took out a longbow calmly.

An elongated and weighted longbow with a dark body and a metallic radiance.

The 'Poisonous Scorpion' picked up the longbow, and at the same time, an arrow made of all steel appeared in his left hand, adjusting himself with a unique breathing rhythm that seemed slow but fast.

He wants to give Dean a fatal blow in the strongest state!

The rain of arrows stopped, but Dean's speed stopped. In front of him, two mercenaries in steel armor with heavy swords and long-handled halberds rushed towards him.

Just from the fact that the opponent is wearing heavy armor and can walk like flying with a heavy weapon in hand, Dean can be sure that these are two knight-level opponents.

Moreover, there is an absolute tacit cooperation with each other——

With the epee horizontally in front of him, it not only protected himself, but also blocked the mercenaries beside him.

And the long-handled war halberd, like a poisonous snake jumping up, stabbed straight at Dean.

The strong wind on the halberd even blew Dean's hair, but with Dean's strength, such a halberd was not at all dangerous.

However, Dean did not block with the long sword, but instead jumped towards the backhand of the blocker who was using the heavy sword.

Almost subconsciously, as Dean jumped, the blocker who used the epee slashed out the horizontal epee fiercely, while the blocker who stabbed out with the halberd returned to defend. Take a defensive stance.

However, at this moment, Dean's speed increased in vain!

It wasn't 【Military Swordsmanship (Emerald)】, Dean just completely broke out the previously suppressed 【Agility】.

[Agility: 4.09] Dean, with the addition of [Indomitable] judgment bonus, his figure almost turned into a phantom, leaping past the weapons of the two blockers, the long sword flashed with cold light twice.

For the first time, the helmets of the two blockers flew off.

The second time, the heads of the two blockers flew up.

Two headless corpses fell to the ground with heavy steel armor, and the weapons fell to the ground with a bang, bang.

The poisonous scorpion mercenary group and the people watching the battle around were all stunned when they saw this scene——

Two knight-level mercenaries died like this?

There was such surprise and shock on the faces of the people, especially the townspeople of Tyre; after all, for them, knights are very extraordinary, and they need to look up to existence; and now Just like that, they died in front of them, moreover, two at a time.

This made the people of Tyre town open their mouths.

Even Baron Till, who had always had confidence in Dean, couldn't help but gasped; Ellen, the head of the guard, frowned, and then smiled wryly.

certainly. The one who was most surprised was the 'Venomous Scorpion' himself——

"One month after the knight's baptism. With such a speed? How is this possible...Damn it!"

'Poisonous Scorpion' cursed in his heart. Involuntarily speeding up the launching speed of the technique.

But at this time, Dean had already rushed to the front of the poisonous scorpion mercenary group with a gust of wind, and the long sword in his hand showed no mercy, sweeping across the mercenaries of the poisonous scorpion mercenary group in front of him with the sword wind. Soldiers.

As soon as they made contact, the three mercenaries fell down clutching their throats, and then more mercenaries followed in their footsteps.

Immediately, flesh and blood flew everywhere. Howling everywhere.

Facing death, the mercenaries began to 'loosen'!

"Block him, block him for me!"

Seeing the appearance of his subordinates, the 'poisonous scorpion' who knew what was going on immediately roared loudly.

And the roar of the 'poisonous scorpion' obviously had some effect. The deterrence formed during the day made these mercenaries who were intent on running away stop temporarily and drew out their weapons.

but. Facing Dean's approach, none of them stepped forward. Instead, step back.

Obviously, even the deterrence of the 'poisonous scorpion' cannot make them risk their lives.

Seeing such a subordinate, the 'Poisonous Scorpion' couldn't help feeling a burst of embarrassment. However, such negative emotions only passed by in a flash, and Dean, who was already close at hand, attracted all eyes.

"Go to hell!"

The 'poisonous scorpion' snarled, and let go of the tightly held arrow.

Immediately, the arrow disappeared from the longbow—the people who watched here did not see clearly when the arrow disappeared.

And the next moment, they heard the sound of arrows piercing through the air, and the sound of snorting as if the arrows entered the body; suddenly, the mood of the surrounding people belonging to the town of Tire became tense.

The poisonous scorpion mercenary group felt relieved, and in the end, they still won.

However, just when these mercenaries were about to cheer, the tip of a long sword passed straight across the neck of the 'poisonous scorpion'.

"When I dodged, I just shot my cloak!"

Dean looked at the "Venomous Scorpion" who fell down with a puzzled face, and said in a low voice, and picked up the cloak behind him to signal the other party - although Dean wanted the other party to die, but under the eyes of everyone, As a 'knight' man, he had to do this.

Because, among the creeds of the knights, there is such a thing as 'respect the enemy'.

"The secret technique of the Thieves Guild [Rapid Arrow]... Fortunately, it is only [Rapid Arrow], not [Extreme Speed ​​Arrow]!"

Dean looked at the 'Venomous Scorpion' who died suddenly, and couldn't help but feel a little rejoicing in his heart - he already knew the other party's background, and he was on guard after the other party took out the strange longbow; therefore, that Dean was prepared for the seemingly extremely fast and unexpected arrow.

However, even if he had been prepared, he still couldn't retreat completely——

After instantly turning on [Military Swordsmanship (Emerald)], the cloak was still pierced by an arrow!

If it is a higher level of [Extreme Speed ​​Arrow], I am afraid his chest has been pierced, even with the protection of steel armor and [Tough Physique], it is useless.

After all, compared to [Rapid Arrow], which only increases speed, [Speed ​​Arrow] also increases quite terrifying attack power.

"Win! Win!"

After the young people were slightly startled, they began to cheer loudly, and then the townspeople of Tire, even Baron Tire and the head of the guard nodded with a smile.

The death of 'Scorpion' obviously represented Dean's victory.

Only Nord and Kesde, who were in the dense forest on the hillside, looked more and more dignified.

They were surprised by Dean's victory and admired each other's strength.

However, there is a more powerful existence appearing in front of the other party. Even, thinking about the other party's heart, the two think that Dean is far less happy than dying under the arrow of the 'poisonous scorpion'!

A figure slowly walked into the arena, and at the same time, gently patted the palm of his hand.

Crack, crack, crack!

It was obviously the slapping of palms, but it forcibly covered up the cheers of Tire Town, making the people of Tire Town look sideways.

A man with a thin figure, long and narrow cheeks, but luxurious clothes and a long sword on his waist appeared in their field of vision.

'The Massacre', Deirdrene.
