When the mercenaries saw Downton charging, they all shouted and cheered for him, hoping to make him enthusiastic and fight to the death with the enemy. This would draw all the enemy's attention to him. Of course, it would be more perfect if he could annihilate all his opponents.
.
These mercenaries were all experienced and knew how to increase the chance of saving their lives. However, after seeing Sissi following closely behind Downton, they quickly chased after her.
They were not worried about the safety of the princess, but they were afraid that if they left Downton too far, they would be attacked by the dwarves. After all, in the eyes of others, they were relatively easy to kill.
Downton will definitely protect the princess to the death, so the closer he is to Sissi, the safer he will be.
"Get away!"
A dwarf wearing armor brandished a war hammer, opened his retreating companions, glared at Downton, and fired a Storm Hammer.
A liquid mass appeared above Downton's head, and he caught the war hammer and reflected it.
The dwarf did not dodge, but swung his war hammer to blow it up. Amidst the splashing elemental light spots, he was about to charge, but Downton had already arrived in front of him with an afterimage.
Roar!
Downton roared, and a ring-shaped halo formed in front of his mouth, then shot out and expanded rapidly, passing through the dwarf.
Buzz!
The dwarf had tinnitus, was unsteady on his feet, and had mild dizziness.
"die!"
Downton swings his arm and the giant kills!
The dwarf raised his battle ax to block, but it had no effect. He cut off the handle of the ax and cut it along the head, splitting it in two.
Wow!
The internal organs were scattered all over the floor, and the fishy smell was overwhelming.
Seeing that the commander was killed, a dozen dwarves operating bed crossbows immediately fled for their lives.
Sissi raised her hand to cast magic, but Downton grabbed her wrist. "Stop, let them run!"
Although Sissi didn't speak, her face was full of confusion.
"Their escape route is the safest." Downton explained, urging everyone to follow, "Homer, let two ghouls come out to explore the route."
"Just keep one or two, the rest should be killed."
A mercenary thought of his comrades who had been shot to death. He wanted to kill all the dwarves, but as soon as he finished speaking, he was slapped by the deputy captain.
"Idiot, there are only one or two left. What if I lead you into a trap?"
The deputy captain does not believe that the enemy has no traps. Generally, those who survive to the end have some skills. If they want to escape, they may choose a place with traps. Only in this way can they intercept the enemy. If there are too many scattered fish, there will be no such thing.
After all, they are too weak to think of this, and they can't wait to let others do it and lure the enemy away.
The surrounding terrain is narrow and there are not many places to hide, so Downton no longer worries about the dragon ranger with excellent shooting skills.
Following the defeated dwarves, the temporary team left the dark corridor and entered a corridor after passing through an arched door.
"What should we do?"
The deputy leader asked urgently, this should be the interior of the palace, with open terrain, gorgeous decorations, and countless corridors and rooms. Therefore, the dwarves were like ants doused in boiling water, running away in all directions instead of evacuating in one direction.
"Spread out and capture a few prisoners first!"
Downton's orders were never ambiguous, but he overestimated the courage of these mercenaries.
They exchanged glances with each other, but no one moved.
"Um?"
Downton was stunned for a moment before realizing that in an unfamiliar place, even a five-person team would be in great danger if they were alone, not to mention there was a ranger hiding in the dark.
"You protect Sissi, I'll catch her!"
Downton rushed out more than thirty meters in a flash of heaven and grabbed it with his right hand.
Capture the dragon!
A big hand of sky-blue magic energy shot down, swatting a dwarf like a fly, then grabbed it and dragged it back.
call out!
A long arrow shot through the air and blasted the dwarf's head.
"Damn it!"
Downton rushed towards the second dwarf, but three long arrows shot at him, blocking his steps.
"Downton, stop chasing and think of a way to reconcile with the leader and the others first, right?"
The deputy commander shouted, his combat effectiveness was not high before he was judged to be at the top. Because he was good at coordinating and handling chores, he took the position of deputy commander. Therefore, facing the sneak attack of the enemy who looked like poisonous snakes, he naturally did not want to fight with Tang
Suddenly separated.
The other mercenaries had similar thoughts. They didn't realize that in this dangerous Forge, they ignored Downton's age and began to embrace him as their lap.
"Okay, push slowly!"
Downton still remembers the map that Mueller obtained. He needs to observe the nearby terrain to compare it with the map to determine his position.
After the dwarf finished running, the corridor became completely quiet.
Downton took out a lantern. Anyway, the ranger could see in the dark. Even if he didn't use any lighting equipment, it would not help, but would only increase his own inconvenience.
“What a majestic mural!”
Sissi has a good artistic quality. She looked at the decorative paintings on the wall and exclaimed in amazement. Although it has not been repaired after thousands of years, the Emperor's Expedition map carved by the dwarf craftsmen is still full of domineering and fierce colors, because it peeled off and showed a broken face.
Instead, it exudes an aura of vicissitudes of life and iron-bloodedness.
call out!
The long arrow was like a venomous snake hunting in the dark. After it shot into the throat of a mercenary, it took his body and nailed it to the wall.
The mercenaries immediately shrunk their necks, formed back-to-back battle formations, and covered their upper bodies with shields.
The ranger was silent again, but the mercenaries did not dare to be careless at all. They all opened their eyes wide and alerted the surroundings. Unfortunately, they could not see anything but darkness.
Five minutes later, a long arrow hit the ground and hit a mercenary in the ankle.
ah!
The mercenary fell to the ground and let out a shrill scream.
Downton's wave is a healing wind.
A mercenary quickly squatted on the ground, took out a bandage from the first aid kit, and was about to wrap it, but he was stunned.
"What's wrong?"
The injured mercenary endured the severe pain and asked.
"fine!"
The deputy captain comforted him. In fact, everyone saw through the light that the mercenary's ankle was completely torn apart by the arrow, leaving only a strand of flesh connecting it. With such an injury, it was almost impossible to leave the Furnace Castle.
The sad atmosphere had not dissipated. Five minutes later, another mercenary was shot in the knee and the entire calf was broken.
The mercenaries did not abandon their companions, but the smell of death became stronger and stronger.
When the fifth mercenary fell, someone finally couldn't bear it anymore and roared in despair.
"It's over, we're dead, that ranger is playing a trick on us."
The mercenary's words silenced everyone. With the ranger's shooting skills, he could kill with one arrow. Doing this was just a wild cat's play after catching a mouse.
That guy was admiring the 'desperation' of these prey before they died. This feeling of controlling other people's fate made him feel so happy.
Every five minutes, a mercenary must have his legs mutilated. Even if he withdraws, it will not help. That guy seems to be a ghost, everywhere.
"what to do?"
Sissi grabbed Downton's arm and pressed tightly against his back, her back soaked with cold sweat.
"No solution!"
Downton's voice was low, and an anger was accumulating in his chest like volcanic lava. This was absolutely a naked humiliation.
The ranger did not attack Downton. It was not because he was afraid of him, but because he wanted to save the feast for last.
Death is not scary. It is the panic of knowing that death is coming but being unable to escape that is the most terrifying.
If it were an ordinary person, he would have been frightened to death long ago. Even a mercenary who is used to seeing killings would not be able to bear it anymore.
"I'm not leaving, I'm going to find a place to hide!"
"Are you hiding and waiting to die? That ranger knows our location. If he brings the dwarves to attack us, we will definitely die."
"Then what do you think we should do? If we continue like this, we will die."
The mercenaries were arguing like wild beasts struggling to their death.
"Fight it up, chase that ranger, and hold him back until death!" A mercenary with a broken leg roared and looked at Downton, "Please, take us there."
"Take us there!"
The mercenaries begged, knowing that they could not kill the ranger with their own strength and could only rely on Downton.
"We can only survive by killing him. Otherwise, we will be consumed sooner or later."
The deputy leader actually didn't want to go, but if he left alone, he would definitely be attacked, so he had no choice but to agree.
"good!"
Downton couldn't swallow this breath, he didn't want to be driven away like a lost dog and run away.
The ranger quickly discovered the intention of Downton and his party. It was almost a provocation. The arrows he fired no longer disabled limbs and arms, but began to attack the thighs and buttocks behind the flesh, causing them more pain.
Along the direction of the arrow, the temporary team chased, but not even a single figure was seen. Two-thirds of the mercenaries had become disabled, and they could only help each other move, so that the speed became slower and slower.
.
"It's so abominable, that guy is simply a devil."
Sissi cried.
The ranger started to play a new trick again. He used explosive arrows. After the arrow hit the target, the whole person would be ignited.
"Quick, give me a bucket to put out the fire!"
Downton urged.
"It's useless. He uses magic arrows. When they encounter water, they will burn even more violently!"
Homer explained that the deputy captain was more straightforward and chopped off his companion's head with a sword, so that he would suffer less pain.
Downton was helpless. In fact, with his excellent hearing, he could capture the enemy's position, but he was slowed down by these mercenaries. In addition, there was also Sissi who needed to be protected, so there was nothing he could do.
When the deputy leader's ankle was also shot, leaving only Downton and Sissy intact, the team's momentum dropped to freezing point.
In fact, if it weren't for his equipment and excellent reflexes, Downton would have been disabled long ago. As for the princess, the opponent obviously wanted to capture her alive.
After more than half an hour of chasing, going around and around, Downton didn't even know where he was. After entering a long corridor, a green light ball the size of a coconut appeared out of thin air, blocking the way.
"What is this stuff?"
A mercenary who lost his mind limped over and slashed at it with his long sword.
boom!
A green fist shot out of the ball of light and hit the mercenary's head directly. It was like a rotten watermelon that had been hit hard, and it rotted away, with the brains and skull flying everywhere.
An eyeball fell in front of Downton with a pop. (To be continued...)
ps: I sorted out the plot today, and what follows is a series of battles. Downton has to fight very strong enemies and get very powerful epic accessories!
