"What did you say?" Just a little more than one meter ahead obliquely to the side, Knight Crowe was still moving as before. Unlike Knight Ika, his footsteps did not shift due to the attack.
"Impossible! How could you?" Knight Ika used the metal hammer as a cover to see the situation of Knight Crowe.
He was not only surprised by Knight Crowe's situation, but also surprised that he didn't use any means to protect his face shield.
But immediately, he saw a crossbow bolt hit Knight Crowe's eye socket, but a khaki light flashed in the eye socket, and the crossbow bolt was bounced away.
"It turns out that you have already used your special ability, so I won't wait anymore! The great wind god, please send down the strong wind on my body, protect my body, and resist flying arrows."
At the same time, the Ika knight held the handle of the metal warhammer tightly, and controlled the hammer head to release a powerful force.
call--
A gust of wind suddenly rose and fell from the sky.
The gust of wind blowing from all around blew the numerous dense crossbow arrows head-on, while the gust of wind falling from the sky quickly spun around the Ika knight, blowing the numerous crossbow arrows that were shot towards him.
In just an instant, the impact of hundreds of militiamen shooting crossbow arrows at him before was reduced to almost nothing.
Most of the crossbow bolts were first affected by the strong wind blowing from behind the Ika knights, and their trajectories were messed up. They either flew up and down, or were blown away from the left and right.
Since the two knights are very close, Knight Crowe also enjoys the same protection by the way.
"Thanks, haha."
Knight Crowe still teased Knight Ika at this time.
Most of the crossbow bolts were affected by the strong wind and lost their accuracy, but a small half of the crossbow bolts passed through the strong wind and pierced towards the two knights.
At this time, the gust of wind around the knight of Ika came in handy. The crossbow bolt was blown by the whirling wind and was affected again, and finally the knight of Ika couldn't do anything about it.
"Hmph." Knight Ika snorted coldly. He immediately realized that the opponent must have calculated his ability according to the rules of this competition, so he rubbed against his protection to save his strength.
Although it seems that the crossbow arrows shot at this time can't do anything to him, but only he knows that this continuous release of power consumes a lot for him.
Not only is the magical technique of praying to the gods constantly being consumed, but the power accumulated on the metal hammer is also being consumed, and it has also been used in the last round of competition, and the energy accumulated in the weekdays is being used up rapidly.
-
"Oh! Ika Knight!"
"It's too powerful! This terrifying offensive has no effect!"
"Unbelievable. The knight is really amazing."
The onlookers were all elated after the Ika knight released his power.
Everyone could see clearly that the continuous and terrifying attack of crossbow arrows, after encountering the strong wind released by the Ika knights, was like encountering a nemesis.
A single crossbow arrow, which is usually unstoppable by armor, now hundreds of thousands of arrows are thrown, and they can't do anything to the two knights standing in place.
Of course, everyone has also seen that Knight Crowe has been honored by Knight of Ika at this time, but he did not say that he cannot be honored, so except for a small number of people who support Knight of Ika, no one else said anything about it.
Knight Rumi chuckled, knowing that this was the case.
Seeing that the militiamen under him seemed to slow down their offensive, he immediately put on a stern face and yelled at the hesitant militiamen: "Why did you slow down? Continue! Didn't you see that the knights were forced out of their true strength? Go ahead and make them feel more pressured."
Then he quickened his pace and ordered the teams that were not called to shoot arrows one by one.
"Don't slow down! You two teams, don't follow, take my warrant and go to the logistics department to get more arrows, and come over to replenish the arrows of the team that launched the attack first!"
The two teams led the way, and Kiel was also stopped by the Rumi knight: "Kiel, you follow and urge them to move quickly, I don't want the offensive here to weaken!"
"Yes, my lord."
Keir patted the horse and followed the two groups of militiamen. While urging them to get the crossbow bolts, he helped them carry some on the horses.
The clerk on the logistics carriage had been notified before, so he made it easier for the militiamen who came to ask for more crossbow bolts. Usually, they would pay close attention to those crossbow bolts that hit the car, but now they are very generous.
Some town militiamen on the logistics carriage also wanted to watch the competition in the open space in the distance, but they could not leave the carriage with a large amount of supplies, so they had to climb on the top of the carriage, stand tall, and shield the sun with their hands The pergola, looking at the competition from a distance.
While watching, the people watching from above spoke to tell the real-time situation to other people below who couldn't get up.
"No, that young knight is surrounded by strong winds, and our crossbow arrows can't blow it through. They all missed!"
"Hey, so the guys in the hands of the militiamen can really deal with the knights? The adults said yes, but in the current situation, it seems that they can't."
After hearing this, Keir couldn't help but answer them: "No problem, things will change soon. Let's work harder and transport more crossbow arrows, anyway, we will pick them up later, wasteful No."
Several logistical militiamen wanted to ask Kiel again, what does it mean that things will change?
But after Kiel loaded the horse with hundreds of kilograms of crossbow bolts, he immediately took the people away. They still didn't speak out.
-
After being reprimanded by the Rumi knight, the militiamen who started shooting perked up again. According to the procedure and speed of the previous training, they pulled up the crossbow strings, put in a newly transported crossbow arrow, and then used the simple aiming mechanism on the crossbow arm to aim in the direction of the two knights, and then pulled the mechanism to release the arrow. .
The two knights in the distance were shrouded in a gust of wind, and there were continuous crossbow arrows on both sides, so the silhouettes of the knights were not very clear.
But it's not necessary, anyway, they will be blown away by the opponent's magical ability, so it's enough to take a glance.
They thought so, but the Ika Knights did just the opposite.
The first thing he couldn't stand was his magic.
After all, he is not a professional church priest. Even if it is because of family reasons, he has believed in knights and the **** of wind since he was a child, but after all, he has no intention of rushing forward, and the divine power in his body is still limited.
Although he could temporarily pray to the gods for strength and support, he knew very well that the relationship between the priest and the gods was more like a business, and both the gods and the priests had to benefit from performing magic.
Either it is usually to develop believers, or it is necessary to use divine magic to cause a benign impact on believers, so that there will be a steady stream of divine power to replenish them.
Today, although he has shown the majesty and greatness of the God of Wind in the eyes of the people and businessmen. But firstly, the people of Furu Pass and the passing merchants have limited faith in the God of Wind, and they believe more in the God of Wealth. Second, it takes more time for positive feedback to come back. Although the gods are happy, the impact is really limited.
Not being a full-time priest, his connection with the gods was really limited.
The weakening of his divine power made him have to weaken and undo the strong wind that was at the forefront.
Although the number of crossbow arrows passing through the violent wind immediately increased, at least at the same time, Knight Crowe couldn't use his ability defense in vain.
-
The people in the distance saw that the strong wind that affected the shooting of the crossbow arrows suddenly weakened and disappeared, and they couldn't help falling down.
Needless to say, everyone can see that the Ika Knight seems to be out of strength.
I don't know who started it first, and the shouts of "Ika! Ika! Ika!" gradually sounded.
The local people then all shouted in unison. They shouted the name of the Ika knight, and gave some encouragement to the Ika knight who was hit by the crossbow and the storm.
Baron Kendall glanced at Mr. Podris who was not far away and explained something to his subordinates. He smiled slightly and said nothing.
Does this work?
He felt that no, no matter how hard the young knight tried, his strength was still limited.
However, he still gestured to Knight Rumi, signaling him to step up his strength and push down the weakened Ika Knight in one fell swoop.
The Rumi knight then let the militia team that had already stood faintly in a semi-arc shape freely shoot at the two knights.
The crossbow arrows of the violent wind and rain are completely indescribable at this time.
The appalling, visible stretches of crossbow arrows pierced the bodies of the two knights into a pitch-black meadow of crossbow arrows.
The original ground is completely invisible, leaving only the shadow of two small bird feathers on the tail of the crossbow arrow used as a mark and wind guide balance.
At this time, even though the knight of Ika was still surrounded by the whirling wind, there were still more crossbow arrows shooting at him continuously than before.
At this time, he could no longer hear the cheers of the people before him, and his ears were filled with the crisp sound of the metal arrows of the crossbow hitting him.
These sounds joined together, gradually distorting his consciousness and losing the ability to think.
Only two tightly clenched teeth can still represent his persistence.
Blood gradually flowed from the teeth and lips, which was the result of the upwelling blood in the mouth that could no longer hold back.
What he didn't know was that the handle of the metal warhammer in his hand was broken by the continuous crossbow arrows at this time, and most of the armor on his body was left tightly to a small part of the body, and the rest They have all been broken by crossbow arrows and turned into pieces.
A small part of his body was still there, and it was only because the force of the gust of wind on the hammerhead projected all its power onto the surface of his body, which saved his life.
But the metal warhammer used all its power to protect its master, and the side facing the crossbow arrow had been thinned by a finger-thick material.
Knight Crowe, who was shielding his face with one arm next to him, did not say a word. This level of attack would also seriously damage his armor, but fortunately, the power of the earth element formed a protective network under the surface of the armor, not only Transferring a large amount of impact force to the ground under his feet provides additional blessings for his armor.
Every crossbow arrow shot at him seemed to be blocked by the thick steel armor, but in fact, the moment the crossbow arrow hit the armor, the elemental power under the armor actively sent the crossbow arrows to the blocking bullets in advance.
Therefore, the armor will only be slightly damaged. Even if the damage continues to accumulate, it will not shatter the entire armor on the body like the Ika Knight.
Knight Crowe felt something was wrong, and the life energy of Knight Ika beside him quickly weakened.
He turned his head and looked, only to realize that the Ika knight had lost consciousness, and he was barely protecting most of his body by relying on the release of his weapon ability.
"not good."
He circulated his life energy, the life energy changed by the crystallization of pure elements engulfed the power of the earth under his feet, and was directly supported by him outside the armor, forming an isolation shield slightly larger than himself.
The essence of life energy is ego and denial.
They don't allow things other than themselves to hurt themselves, so as soon as these khaki life energies appear, they will fly all the crossbow arrows aimed at Knight Crowe, and the more they attack them, the more life energies will grow. active.
Knight Crowe faced the continuous crossbow arrows from hundreds of people, took two steps and moved in front of Knight Ika to help him block the front.
Amidst the crackling sounds around him, Knight Crowe shook his right hand upwards vigorously.
In order to be conspicuous for the people on the opposite side to see, he even used his life energy on the ground in front of him to drive the ground up two meters high.
-
"Wait! Look, that knight from Kendall has walked up to Knight Ika!"
As soon as this person said it, everyone else saw it. Sure enough, without knowing what happened, the middle-aged knight in thick armor waved his hand, and then raised a piece of ground to block the incoming crossbow arrows. live.
The Rumi knight also ordered loudly at the same time: "Stop! Stop shooting! Stop shooting!"
The militiamen who had been shooting arrows for a while immediately sat on the ground and shook their hands to rest, while the militiamen who had just joined the shooting action unloaded the arrows from the crossbow in their hands with a look of pity, and carefully pulled the crossbow strings. Arms loosen.
"What's wrong?"
It was also the first time Baron Kendall saw hundreds of people shooting at one place at the same time, so he was a little puzzled about stopping.
Knight Rumi walked over quickly, and said to the baron, "Knight Crowe suddenly blocked the Knight of Ika and waved his hand to stop the attack. It seems that something happened to the Knight of Ika."
As soon as he said that, the baron frowned. Although he wanted to win this sudden contest, he didn't want to cause any high-level trouble.
The face of Mr. Podris next to him changed, and he immediately called for people to look in the direction of the two knights.
He himself was not at ease, so he mounted his horse and rushed towards the opposite side.
But fortunately, the moment the shooting stopped, Knight Crowe helped his armor to shatter. He only held a metal warhammer with a hammer head and a little handle in his hand, and walked out from the crossbow bolts all over the floor.
"By God, Bors, how are you? Are you all right?"
Mr. Podris rode very fast, and jumped off the horse as soon as he reached the two knights. Obviously, his riding skills were very good.
Looking at the knight whose steel armor was shot to pieces, Podris was at a loss as to what to do. As soon as his hand touched the surface of the Ika knight's armor, he was scalded by the heat from it.
"Be careful, the temperature of the metal after impact is not low."
Klau Knight laid the Ika Knight flat on the grass without crossbow arrows, and tried to remove the opponent's helmet first.
But the steel helmet that was constantly shot by the crossbow arrows was not only very hot, but also deformed, firmly stuck on the Ika knight's head, and even the visor could not be lifted.
The people around hurried over. After seeing the two knights at close range, everyone who was still concerned about the competition knew that this round was won by the Kendalls.
Because although Knight Crow's armor also suffered a lot of damage on the surface, most of the anti-rust paint on the surface of the armor was hit, but at least Knight Crow's armor was still intact and there was no major damage.
But the Ika Knight is different. Not only can he lie on the ground at this time, his armor is broken and deformed, but even his consciousness seems not very clear at this time.
The merchants in Kendall immediately announced excitedly that the Crow Knights won the competition, and they didn't care about the ugly and anxious faces of the locals who lost, and directly blocked the gambling funds.
On the knight's side, Knight Crowe lifted his visor and asked Kiel, who rushed over to see the situation, to call the priest accompanying the army to prepare for treatment.
Mr. Podris also realized it, and immediately asked his subordinates to call a young priest of the God of Wealth who lived in the level, and hurried over to treat him with divine magic.
"You have to take off the helmet first." Knight Crowe looked at Mr. Podris and said, "I did it?"
Knowing that this is necessary, Mr. Podris nodded hastily: "Please hurry up, but be careful not to hurt Ika again."
The knight didn't answer, and directly pinched and pulled the tattered and deformed helmet of the Ika knight with his steel-covered fingers, tearing the helmet easily with the sound of metal deformation.
The Ika knight under the helmet caused the surrounding onlookers to exclaim.
Blood was all over his face, and the Ika Knight himself had his eyes wide open, but he didn't respond, his eyes were dull. The mouth was poked by Knight Crowe, and a lot of blood flowed out from the mouth.
Looking into Knight Ika's eyes, Knight Crowe heaved a sigh of relief: "Stop howling~www.mtlnovel.com~ I'm fine. I just lost consciousness."
"It's okay?"
"How could you lose consciousness!"
Mr. Podris also knelt beside him, looking at the Ika Knight whose face was covered in blood but whose eyes were staring. Sure enough, the eyeballs were still moving, but there was no response.
Knight Crowe didn't answer, but just tore off the opponent's neck armor, and then removed the front part of the breastplate, allowing the opponent to breathe normally. The pressure on the chest can be reduced.
-
The priests rushed over quickly, and they all had rich experience in treating diseases and saving lives. Therefore, just by looking at it, it was possible to tell that the Ika knight was knocked unconscious by the force of the crossbow and the violent noise.
At the same time, there were contusions all over his body, but they were not serious. It was just that the force of these impacts penetrated deep into his body, and his internal organs suffered a lot of impact. He had to rest before using divine magic to heal.
Of course, it is also possible to use high-level healing magic to directly treat it. High-level healing magic does not require the help of the body itself, and all healing methods are supplemented by divine power.
However, ordinary healing magic only stimulates the injured person's own body to heal the wound. In this case, the injured person's body energy and weight have to be consumed.
Ika Knight's mouth was cleaned with water to allow him to breathe unobstructed, and then a cool and damp cloth was placed on the knight's forehead.
Then the priest of the local God of Wealth brought over a jar of holy water from the church that had been affected by divine magic, and fed it to the unconscious Ika knight, and then stroked the Ika knight's open eyes with his fingers.
After the Ika knight's eyes closed, after a while, his eyes opened again.
This time, although he was weak, his eyes showed that his consciousness had recovered.
