Scouts are a high-end unit that can not only explore paths, but also identify and dismantle various traps, so training one requires suitable talents and a large amount of gold coins.
There are no scouts in Downton's team. The mercenaries can only advance fearfully with their swords in hand. There is no other way. If they step on a trap, they are basically dead. It would be strange not to be afraid.
Fortunately, the teams march alternately, with six people in a team, changing after fifty meters. Otherwise, the mental pressure will be too great, which will make people tired quickly, their concentration will weaken, and the purpose of the search will not be achieved.
When it was Downton's turn, Sissi asked to go with her.
"Princess, just stay in the middle of the team. It's the safest place."
The deputy leader's expression was earnest. Sissi was Maximilian II's favorite daughter. If he brought her back safely, in addition to a large amount of wealth, the king would definitely reward her with a noble title. By then, he would no longer be able to sleep in the open air.
Running around to make a living.
"No, I also want to rotate with everyone!"
Sissi said something grand, but in her heart she just wanted to be with Downton. She would only feel safe if she was close to him.
"All right!"
The deputy leader did not dare to go against the princess's wishes, but he always stayed by her side, with a clear intention of protecting her, hoping to increase her favorability.
Phew! Phew! Phew!
The attack came suddenly. Five two-meter-long spears, as thick as a bowl for an adult, were shot out from the crossbow and came from the opposite corridor with a loud sound.
The corridor was so dark that the magic stone lanterns in the hands of the mercenaries could only illuminate a distance of seven or eight meters at most. By the time they saw the crossbows, it was already too late to dodge.
Puff puff!
The sharp crossbow gun shattered the soul shield, penetrated the two unlucky men, and shot forward with their bodies, knocking over several more people.
Screams suddenly sounded.
"Enemy attack!"
The mercenaries shouted and immediately threw the lanterns out. Carrying this thing was simply asking for death.
"Shut up!"
The deputy leader growled and reached out to pull the princess, but Downton was faster.
Downton held down Sissy's head with one hand and forced her to crawl to the ground. This position was the least likely to be shot.
Except for a few who leaned against the sides of the corridor, most people chose to crawl to the ground. As crossbows fired from overhead from time to time, their breathing became heavy and chaotic.
"what to do?"
The mercenaries in the first row knew that it was impossible to retreat, but they did not want to advance against the crossbow attack. That would be no different than seeking death.
"Creep forward!"
The deputy leader has no choice. There is only one way, and it will not work if we don't move forward.
So despite the darkness, everyone began to crawl. This time, even Sissi was no exception. Fortunately, she could still endure the hardship.
The bed crossbow attack stopped, and after climbing nearly fifty meters, a mercenary couldn't help but raise his upper body and look around. Then a long arrow painted black shot through the air, entered through the eye socket, and penetrated the unlucky guy.
's head.
The force of the long arrow's attack was so great that it actually carried the mercenary's upper body backwards and did a backflip.
boom!
The corpse hit the mercenary behind. Brains and blood were scattered everywhere.
Without the deputy's orders, everyone lowered their heads to the ground.
"They must be dragon rangers with dark elf blood. These guys' vision is not affected at all in the dark."
The deputy commander cursed and urged his men to crawl quickly and get at least fifty meters away from the enemy before launching a charge. Otherwise, they would be shot if they ran so far.
The deputy leader's thinking was too simple. After climbing out twenty meters again, the Dragon Ranger on the opposite side quickly showed everyone what it means to have superb shooting skills.
A long arrow was shot. When it arrived in front of everyone, the second long arrow caught up with it and collided with the arrow tail. The first long arrow immediately changed its route, arrow cluster downwards, and shot into the head of each person.
middle.
"I am Di Polo, is this okay?"
There were a lot of foul language in an instant, followed by three consecutive fancy archery performances. The mercenaries opened the shield and did all the turtles, but the opponent's magic-breaking arrows penetrated the shield without any suspense and penetrated.
into the heads of three mercenaries.
The arrow pierced the floor, its tail swinging violently, making a buzzing sound.
"Climb quickly, you will die if you wait here!"
Downton urged, grabbing Sissy's arm and pulling her to his side. He hugged her with one hand and covered her head with a shield.
A mercenary died beside him just now. If the arrow had missed a little bit, he would have said goodbye to this world.
"Climb quickly!"
The deputy commander punched the men in front with his fists. Anyone who can use this magical archery skill must be a marksman with the title of Divine Arrow Zhebei. If you climb down here, you will be killed.
"Give you a shield!"
The elemental arm held the warrior shield and handed it out, which was better than nothing.
The Dragon Ranger could definitely see Downton and his party crawling in the darkness, because after everyone put on their shields, the fancy archery attacks stopped immediately.
"What should we do? There is a bed crossbow on the opposite side. It is probably a small team." The deputy leader looked at these poor subordinates and had no confidence at all. "How about the princess sends a super beast to kill them?"
"The dragon will certainly not be able to move in such a narrow passage!"
Sissi was depressed because she couldn't use her astral summoning talent. Every time she opened the astral channel, she needed to consume a lot of talent, and if the ghost hunter used it too much, its resistance would greatly increase.
After all, Sissi's level is still too low. Out of respect for the law, the summoned super beasts will serve, but too many times, they will feel that their dignity has been damaged, and they may even attack their master, just like Julie
Ye, her demonic flag is very powerful, but there is also the danger of backlash.
In this world, there is never a free lunch. The reason why Sissi dared to summon the ghost hunter before was because the crystal dragon could suppress it. But here, obviously that can't be done.
"What should we do?"
The deputy team member had a sad look on his face, and the entire team was timid, which could be seen from the slower and slower crawling speed.
No one has thought of a solution to the current dangerous situation, and a bigger crisis has come again.
The obsidian that formed the ceiling overhead began to fall irregularly!
Bang! Bang! Bang!
There was a dense sound of impact, and the dust flew up.
"careful!"
Downton hugged Sissi and rolled to the side.
boom!
The obsidian pillar rubbed his cheek and fell down.
There were two mercenaries who were not able to react as quickly as Downton. With a scream, they were smashed into pieces, and one of the mercenaries had his thigh broken and let out a shrill scream.
Snap! Snap!
Blood and flesh splattered all over Sissi.
The princess subconsciously hugged Downton tightly.
"No choice, rush over!"
Downton roared, jumped up with Sissy in his arms, and rushed towards the corridor.
Bang! Bang!
The obsidian pillar fell, retracted, and repeated the attack.
Downton's eyes were red, and he relied on his weak vision to try his best to memorize the attack frequency of nearby stone pillars so that he could dodge them in time.
"Quick, follow up!"
The deputy captain gritted his teeth and got up. At this time, he couldn't take care of others and could only rely on himself.
The mechanical Rubik's Cube has been in disrepair for a long time. Most of the obsidian pillar traps have long been out of use, so Downton was given the possibility to dodge. Otherwise, the dense pillars would fall down and there would be no room to dodge.
Seeing that it was impossible to dodge, the golden dragon spear fired continuously, and Downton's left fist shook continuously.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Two stone pillars were shattered, revealing a place where you could step on.
After rushing out fifty meters, the stone pillar trap ended. But the crossbow gun started firing again.
"Follow me!"
Downton held the shield in his left hand and the Balrog's Hand in his right hand. He began to push forward forcefully.
Dang! Dang! Dang!
The swift crossbow hit the shield, causing sparks and explosions, but it could not stop Downton's footsteps.
"Is this okay?"
"Why are you still standing there? Hurry up and catch up!"
Seeing that they were advancing like a god of war, the remaining mercenaries were stunned, but they quickly reacted and lined up in a straight line to hide behind Downton.
The dragon ranger took action, still using fancy archery, using tail collision to change the direction of the first arrow, and shot Downton in the head.
Holy Revenge spontaneously counterattacks and intercepts arrows. Downton's shield and war hammer will also be fired. Relying on the nerve reaction speed brought by the body of the Vulcan, he can always take the next step and knock out the incoming long arrows.
In fact, Downton could have relied on the sacred armor and mountain barriers to resist, but he was worried that the arrows would hurt Sissi behind him, so he simply shot them all down.
Downton finally saw his enemy.
After a group of dwarves saw that the crossbows were ineffective, they simply gathered in the corridor with battle axes and launched a charge.
The deputy regiment did not engage in hot-headed attacks, but kept their pace full, waiting for Downton to fight.
"Sorry, there are too few subordinates, and I really can't do anything."
The deputy leader apologized from the bottom of his heart. When he thought he was going to face the other party's questioning, he found that the other party launched the charge without any hesitation, without saying a word nonsense.
"Follow me!"
Downton reminds Sissy again.
The narrow passage was instantly filled with the sound of rapid footsteps. When they were thirty meters away, the dwarves pulled out their short-handled throwing axes and threw them horizontally at the enemy.
Downton retaliates tooth for tooth, releasing his magic energy without hesitation, using five golden dragon spears as a wave, shooting five batches of dwarf warriors in a row.
It was like their skin was pierced, and the dwarves were screaming and covered in blood as they were swept away.
Downton rushed over on the corpse, his hammer dancing wildly.
boom!
A dwarf was hit in the chest, his armor was dented visibly, and his back was pressed into a thin pancake. His internal organs were crushed, like a balloon filled with water, which burst with a bang.
When Downton attacked, he didn't have a single general under his command. The explosive attack attached to the Balrog's Hand could inspire the enemy, but because he was worried that the dwarfs that were knocked away might hurt Sissi, he didn't spare any of them and died immediately after taking action.
The elemental arm took the shield and handed the broken head to Downton.
Dual-wielding Downton, like a chariot, pushed forward unparalleledly. Wherever he passed, there were no screams, only corpses on the ground and blood on the entire wall.
These dwarves were not all magicians. Facing Downton, who looked like a murderous god, they were afraid of being killed and began to retreat with panic on their faces, causing chaos in the corridor.
Downton hurriedly followed. It was precisely because of the blockage of these people that the Dragon Rangers on the opposite side could not attack unscrupulously. (To be continued...)
