Chapter 54 The Spear of Leonidas
Compared with the relatively "civilized" battle between archers, Cassandra's side seems even more popular.
The Hawk Trainer Kassandra is proficient in most conventional weapons and can choose the most suitable weapon for the current situation according to the battlefield situation.
Xin Sheng told Cassandra before the plan began that a fight would likely occur when meeting Elpino, and Cassandra would likely be trapped in the enemy's encirclement.
With this in mind, Cassandra carries a one-handed broadsword.
Cooperating with the Leonidas Spear inherited by the family, Kassandra, who has dual weapons, has both offense and defense, and can make tactical adjustments at any time according to the actual combat situation.
After being trapped in the encirclement, the biggest threat to Kassandra was not the fully armed muscular barbarians of the Divine Cult in front of him, but the archers ambushed on the upper floor of the manor.
The original plan was that Natiya was responsible for suppressing these long-range enemies and not giving them the opportunity to shoot cold arrows on Cassandra.
But Natiya, who was passionate, misjudged the strength of the enemy and me, and planned to capture Elpino first and end the battle as soon as possible.
However, the result was contrary to his wishes. Xin Sheng had to change his plan at the last minute and personally dealt with the uncontrolled archers.
In terms of the result, it's pretty good.
With the cooperation of Dahuang, Xin Sheng, who quietly sneaked into the manor, solved all the long-range enemies.
At this time, he stood on the open-air balcony on the third floor of the manor, bent his bow and arrow to aim at the remaining guards of the Divine Cult below.
Kassandra has a lot of combat experience. As soon as she was surrounded, she immediately withdrew from the battle circle and stuck her body in the door of the room where she talked to Elpino before.
This gate can only allow two enemies to enter at the same time, reducing the pressure when facing multiple enemies at the same time.
The guards of the Divine Cult are wearing thick iron armor. Although they have high defense, they are not very flexible in their actions.
These iron armors were like paper-patterned in front of the Spear of Leonidas, the artifact of Eden, and had almost no defensive effect.
A faint golden light can be seen on the surface of Leonidas' Spear activated by Kassandra's Ishu bloodline.
The Spear of Leonidas gave Cassandra a reflex nerve and sixth sense that was far beyond ordinary people. With the cooperation of the broadsword in his left hand, Cassandra could always keenly grasp some of the flaws between the enemy's moves.
When Xin Sheng poked his head out of the building to support Kassandra, there were only 5 people left of the dozen or so guards of the Divine Cult that were originally surrounded on the first floor.
Moreover, these remaining elites of the Divine Cult looked at each other, and no one dared to step into the door of the room that Kassandra held.
"Swoosh!"
Xin Sheng did not intend to let these enemies who had already retreated, and could not let them slip back to the headquarters of the Divine Cult to report the news.
The later the God Cult discovers Elpino's "missing", the greater the operational space Xin Sheng has when he plans to take the next plan.
"Well!"
The third floor of the manor was only about ten meters away from the ground. Xin Sheng shot almost accurately and killed three of them with rapid shooting.
Armor and helmets can provide excellent defense for the guards of the Divine Cult, and Xin Sheng did not foolishly try to shoot through the enemy's defense with arrows.
The precise arrow avoids the defense of the armor and directly shoots it for ventilation and observation of the gap in the helmet in front, in the middle of the door.
Kassandra seized the opportunity of the last two enemies looking up to observe where the arrows came from, stretched out like a female leopard, and launched a fierce attack on the enemy.
Cassandra, who started the ejection, rushed into the enemy in the blink of an eye, and cut into the broadsword in his left hand along the slightest gap of armor exposed by the enemy's head.
The neck artery was cut, and the enemy covered his neck, which was constantly bleeding, and fell softly to the ground.
Kassandra's movements did not stop, and the spear of Leonidas shining with golden light stabbed out to the enemy on the right.
The last enemy who had no time to move the shield failed to react in time. The invincible Leonidas spear easily pierced the iron armor and made a blood hole in his right chest.
It only took a second from Xin Sheng shooting three guards to Kassandra's sudden counterattack.
When the second round of long-range shooting hit the target, the hustle and bustle on the front battlefield finally subsided.
"Sher~"
Pull out Leonidas's spear from the chest of the enemy who was caught in the bridge of his nose, and Kassandra raised his hand to throw the broken spear out.
The female God Guard who was still fighting with Natiya was hit on the back by a sudden attack, and his whole body became stiff for a moment.
"drink!"
Natiya seized this fleeting opportunity, and the little round shield suddenly used force to bounce the weapon that the enemy had slashed out.
The sword in his right hand immediately followed closely and cut open the enemy's neck in one fell swoop.
“Hu…hu…”
The battle finally ended. After the excitement, Natiya felt the scorching pain in the wound under her ribs, and the soreness of her hands followed closely. The strong feeling of fatigue made her bend down and breathe heavily.
Xin Sheng greeted Kassandra and sneaked into the manor to find clues related to the Divine Cult.
Cassandra ignored the corpses on the ground inside and outside the manor, first came to Elpino, whose screams gradually became hoarse and knocked him out.
Holding Elpino, who weighed more than 150 pounds with one hand, Kassandra walked to Natiya with a serious expression.
Seeing the familiar legs appearing in front of him, Natiya couldn't help but feel "splied".
He raised his head anxiously, and Natiya spoke ashamedly: "Cassandra, I..."
"Bang!"
Kassandra's empty left hand slapped Natiya's face without any mercy, and her palms and cheeks made a loud and crisp sound.
Natiya's pale cheeks were quickly congested and swollen due to excessive physical exhaustion, but she dared not object to Kassandra's lesson.
From childhood to adulthood, Cassandra loved her and Fubai very much in the event of fighting.
But once combat training is involved, Cassandra's usual gentle attitude as an elder sister and a loving mother would undergo a 180-degree change, as severe as an evil ghost from the underworld.
The movement from downstairs made Xin Sheng, who was rummaging through the cabinets, paused in his hand, and turned to look at the Taihang Dog squatting beside him.
"Darhuang, go and activate the atmosphere first."
“Woo~”
Dahuang quickly went downstairs along the stairs, and soon Xin Sheng heard the barking of dogs from the manor courtyard.
"Woom!"
At this time, Xin Sheng happened to find a papyrus that recorded the code names of some members of the God Cult, and also found Elpino's God Cult robe and mask, as well as a thin metal sheet that seemed to be similar.
When returning to the first floor courtyard, Xin Sheng saw Natiya with a red and swollen face and a silent expression on her face, and Kassandra with a complex look flashing in her eyes.
"Well, please discuss your personal affairs later. Let's deal with them on site first."
...
The body was deliberately buried in the woods behind the manor by rough methods. The three of them re-arranged the manor as quickly as possible and took away the relatively valuable small property.
Paper cannot cover the fire. Neighbors near Elpino Manor can hear the sound of fighting before. Sooner or later, members of the Divine Cult who came to investigate will find that a battle had happened here.
Instead of trying to cover up all the traces, it is better to disguise the scene so that it looks like a desperate bandit caused by property.
Kassandra agreed with Xin Sheng's disguise plan. When the Hawk Trainer took away his property, the happy smile on his face was not a disguise.
Cassandra led Natiya in poor condition to evacuate first. Xin Sheng, who was cut off, ignited Elpino's manor with a fire. You can see the raging fire rising from the sky from a distance.
When other members of the Divine Cult arrived at the scene one after another, Xin Sheng and the other two had already left the scene and arrived at the outskirts of Delphi not far away.
"Summary of this action."
Xin Sheng glanced at Natiya, who was depressed, and turned his gaze to Kassandra: "Have you asked for any information from Elpino?"
