Chapter 378 Sword and Halberd City (Part 1)
Author: Half-wounded but not broken
The swords were unsheathed, the armor was clanging, the lips were tightly closed under the helmets, and the eyes were murderous. It seemed that these guards were not just passing by.
Pei Renli's reaction was as quick as ever. As soon as the guard emerged from behind the opposite door, he had already pulled out the scroll and unfolded it:
"Grease Technique!"
A large amount of dark green magic grease just blocked the door, and the few guards who came in first suddenly slipped and fell to the ground, causing a certain amount of chaos.
However, Pei Renli didn't have time to see the effect of the greasy spell. He threw away the fragments of the scroll and turned around, intending to use his shoulder to knock down the door and let Miaojie escape.
——Then he was bounced back...
"Zhuo! Did you lock the door so quickly? When did you lock it?"
The teammates staying in the lobby outside may also be under attack, otherwise they would definitely realize something was wrong when they hear the abnormal noise and help break down the door.
At this time, someone on the guard side who was trapped by the grease spell took off his hand crossbow. Since he couldn't kill people with a knife, a simple long-range weapon was the best choice.
Miaojie was still standing there stupidly, and Pei Renli jumped over:
"Protect arrows!"
The front end of the staff lit up with cyan magic light, forming a bowl-shaped magic barrier, and crossbow arrows were deflected when they were shot on it.
Hearing the clanging sound of the crossbow arrows, Miao Jie was startled and regained consciousness. After all, she was a princess and not a battle-experienced adventurer. She was still in a state of confusion just now.
"He, he actually dares! How dare he!"
"He has already dared, let's talk about it later!"
Betting on a certain prince and murdering a princess are completely different situations. The former will not have much impact whether you win or lose. At most, if you bet on the wrong person, you will need to keep your tail between your legs for a while.
As for the latter, once it is exposed, it will be a complete capital crime, and the whole family will be removed from the nobility.
I don’t know what kind of benefits the second prince gave the city lord of Jianji City, so that he actually spent so much money on his certificate of investment.
But as Pei Renli said, this matter is not important now.
"Get closer to me, get closer, get closer! Even now, you are still holding back the hammer!"
Pei Renli pulled Miao Jie to his side. His staff maintained its magical effect to block the crossbow arrows, while he held Miao Jie and leaned back together.
This made the princess let out a short scream. The weight of the two people leaned on the back of the sofa, causing the sofa itself to fall backwards. When the two turned over the sofa, Pei Renli raised his foot and kicked the back of the sofa. This heavy sofa
It immediately returned to its original state and became a temporary bunker.
After all, protective arrows are not 100% effective, and they may be broken through if not done properly.
"What are you touching with your hands?"
"Don't worry, it's not like I haven't touched the princess's waist before. I suggest you stay away from the sofa."
"ah?"
Miaojie was still in a state of confusion. After hearing this, she moved back slightly. Almost the next moment, a crossbow arrow pierced the sofa. However, due to the loss of kinetic energy, the arrow just passed through and almost pierced Miaojie's face. This made
She had no time to pay attention to what Pei Renli was groping around her waist just now.
Pei Renli peeked his head from behind the sofa and tore open another scroll.
A milky white slime sphere was launched, and immediately exploded when it hit the guard trapped in grease, turning into a large white spider web.
Add the Spider Web Technique and the Grease Technique, and it should last for a while.
The best low-level spells used by the Conjuration School are these two, and they are capable of controlling the field in most situations.
But this is not a long-term solution. Both spells have a duration and will disappear immediately once the time is up. Besides, Pei Renli is more concerned about his companions waiting outside. They must have also been attacked.
The top priority now is to quickly join up with his companions and fight out of the city, but the nearest door is locked. It takes time to take a detour, not to mention having to deal with the guards blocking the door.
So Pei Renli lowered his head and asked the frightened Miaojie:
"What is a crime in your country if you damage a castle?"
Feeling a little worried that there would be a wanted order, Pei Renli asked.
"Attack the government...wait, are you going to blow up the castle?"
"It won't all blow up."
Isn’t this still going to explode?
"Lower your head and cover your ears. If I don't tell you to raise your head, don't get up."
When Miaojie heard this, she quickly crouched down with her head in her arms.
Pei Renli pulled out a new scroll, unfolded it, and stretched out the staff from behind the sofa.
"Fireball!"
If you don't use the fireball technique in case of trouble, it will explode and it will be over.
The storm and heat wave unfolded in the confined space at the next moment. The huge roar shook people's skulls. The shock wave was so strong that all the tables and chairs near the impact point were overturned. Even the sofas that were far away were pushed backwards.
Half an inch.
The high temperature and flames ignited the grease on the ground, and then ignited the spider web covering it. The biggest disadvantage of these two field control spells was that they were afraid of fire and could catch fire at a moment's notice.
The flames from the burning grease and cobwebs ignited a layer of decorative flags covering the wall, and the fire began to rage along the wallpaper and furniture.
It wasn't until several seconds passed that Miaojie felt her ears were better and used the fireball technique indoors. This kind of magician was indeed a lunatic.
She shook her dizzy head, looked up quietly, and saw that Pei Renli was leaving flickering runes in the air with his fingers. He quickly wrote three rows, and his movements were incredibly fast.
A large purple magic circle appeared next to him, and anyone with a little knowledge could recognize it as a summoned creature from the Conjuration School.
"Summon: Infernal Dire Boar!"
A wild boar about three meters tall, covered with bone spurs all over its body, almost as big as an elephant, emerged from the development. Miaojie saw Pei Renli pointing in the other direction with his staff. The ferocious wild boar in purgatory immediately stepped forward after receiving the order.
He opened his short legs and rushed over.
Although the fireball spell is powerful, it does not mean that one shot can solve the problem. People's vitality is still quite strong. As long as they are not directly hit by the fireball spell, there is a high probability that they can survive.
Then the guards who were stunned by the explosion and got up saw a huge wild boar running towards them, lowering its head and pointing its two barb-shaped fangs at them.
The scene was like express mail filled with fragile items being violently transported in a sorting center...
The door that was hit by the fireball spell, not to mention the door panel, had a large piece of the door frame collapsed. The ferocious wild boar from Hell rushed through without any hindrance. Pei Renli heard a clanging noise coming from a little further away.
The noise was also mixed with some screams. It is estimated that the ferocious wild boar of Purgatory completed its task well.
Then Pei Renli whistled with his fingers in his mouth, and the rumbling vibrations returned quickly. After receiving the order, the ferocious wild boar from hell turned around and rushed back.
"Now that the guards have been dispersed, get up quickly!"
"Go up? Sit on this wild boar?"
"Nonsense, why don't I let you ride me? Hold on to its thorns, yes, and fix yourself."
The entire body of the Purgatory Dire Boar is covered with sharp bone spurs. These alienated fractures will greatly enhance its power when charging. However, if the Purgatory Dire Boar is used as a vehicle, these spikes can also serve as handrails to help passengers.
Secure yourself so you won't be thrown out.
Seeing Miaojie slowly crawling onto the Purgatory Fierce Boar, Pei Renli directly pushed her butt. Obviously he couldn't care much at this time. Then he stepped on the bone spurs and climbed up to the Purgatory Fierce Boar quickly together with the ladder.
on the back.
"Let's go straight ahead!"
The summoned creature will not care about what is there or not. As the summoner, Pei Renli gave the order, and the Purgatory Dire Boar resolutely carried out the order.
The door that Pei Renli didn't push open just now, but was bounced back, was like paper under the collision of the ferocious wild boar in purgatory, and was smashed into pieces in an instant.
Pei Renli lay on the back of the wild boar and waved away a piece of wood hanging on his face. Then he saw a circle of guards in the lobby holding weapons and pressing them down, as well as three companions who were ready for battle.
Regardless of which side they were on, everyone was shocked when they saw such a big wild boar charging out.
Pei Renli responded quickly as always, using his staff as a signpost to guide the ferocious wild boar in purgatory:
"Step over!"
The Purgatory Dire Boar doesn't care what obstacles are in front of it, I will charge anyway if ordered.
The wild boar, which was as big as an elephant, stretched out its four legs and charged along the edge of the hall. It shook its head from side to side from time to time, presumably because there was a guard hanging on its tusks and trying to throw it off.
Limited by construction technology, the hall of the castle cannot actually be built too big, let alone empty. A large number of support columns must be used to hold up the top.
As a result, the ferocious wild boar of Purgatory rushed around the hall. Not to mention whether the guards had time to run away, a large number of support pillars were broken or damaged by it. The smoke and gravel temporarily obscured the view, and they could only be seen dimly.
The huge figure of the Purgatory Dire Boar is still moving at high speed.
After running around the hall, Pei Renli could see clearly on the back of the wild boar. When he was about to rush to the vicinity of his companion, he shouted:
"Quick! Jump up and let's rush out!"
Anna and the others were not as strenuous as Miaojie when climbing up the wild boar. Even though the ferocious wild boar in Purgatory did not stop, the three of them seized the opportunity and jumped up one after another. Only Cosette was not very good at physical strength and had to be pulled by Pei Renli.
The other two people landed firmly on the wild boar and grabbed the bone spurs to fix themselves.
With several people hanging on it, the ferocious ferocious wild boar of Purgatory continued its speed unabated. Facing off the gradually collapsing support columns and fragments of the hall, it easily jumped over the obstacles on the ground and rushed toward the door.
The guard guarding the door heard the sound of demolishing a building inside. He turned around and saw the Purgatory Violent Boar rushing out of the smoke. Although he raised the spear in his hand reflexively, that thing was like a toothpick in front of the Purgatory Fierce Boar.
They were knocked away with their weapons.
But then it was not so easy to rush out.
When the sun reappeared above his head, Pei Renli, who was covering his head with a wizard's hat, noticed that the gate on the outer wall had been closed by the guards. The thing was made of steel and was not as easy to be knocked open as wood. It seemed that the city lord was determined.
I want Miaojie to stay.
A large number of guards began to pour out of various entrances and exits of the castle behind him. It was impossible to stay where they were. Pei Renli let the ferocious wild boars of Purgatory run around the square outside the door to prevent the guards from approaching, and at the same time he was also thinking of ways to escape.
