Section 350 After the break
Chapter 350: The rear
In the duel between nobles, wearing heavy armor is not considered an advantage. Because people wearing armor will suffer a great drag on their reactions regardless of speed. In addition, armor can protect only part of the body after all - any armor has weaknesses and parts that cannot be protected.
But in the melee, wearing armor is regarded as a great advantage, which is particularly obvious on the battlefield. Because no matter who it is, there is no way to guarantee that you can avoid all attacks - when the attack comes from all directions anytime, anywhere, all you can do is rely on armor to protect yourself.
At present, the advantages of armor have become very obvious. Lalia's movements are very fast. She has hit her opponent three times in a row, but she has no blow to penetrate the opponent's armor. In fact, she is not good at fighting face to face with such enemies wearing heavy armor.
The warhammer swung again. The Chaos Champion's movements were not very fast (by Lariya's standards), and the movements were relatively simple. Every move was clear and you could tell at a glance that it was the type of victory with force. Lariya bent down and avoided this attack, and then rushed forward when the opponent had no time to return to defense. The point of the sword was exactly the opponent's face.
Chaos champion's head was slightly tilted, and the sword edge slid on his helmet, making a tingling sound of metal rubbing.
"Hey, woman, that's all that?" Chaos champion took a step back and took back his warhammer, and a sneer came from under his helmet. "Women should just lie on the bed and spread their legs."
These vulgar words made Lalia clench her teeth. But the other party at least said nothing wrong. The attacks just now were not false moves, but the strength of the Chaos Champion's armor exceeded her expectations.
If she didn't wear armor, Lalia could dismember the Chaos Champion into parts in one minute, but the Chaos Armor on his body was strong and heavy. Attacks with weak power would be bounced or slipped away directly. Although Lalia had superhuman power, even so, if it were not for a full-strength attack or a weak part of the armor, she would not be able to break through the opponent's armor. Although the opponent's movements were simple, he had rich combat experience, and he did not leave Lalia the opportunity to accumulate momentum to attack.
It is conceivable what kind of scene would be like when such a human-shaped monster rushes around the battlefield.
As she spoke, Chaos Champion pressed her step by step, pushing Lalia into front of the flames. The heat waves around her were burning, and she could no longer retreat.
"Die!" This time, the Chaos Champion chose the most favorable angle to swing his warhammer. This woman could not avoid it anymore. She had to fight a tough blow - in this way, her sword would definitely be broken by the warhammer - or simply retreated into the flames.
The woman did not dodge, and even did not make any blocking moves, only a smile in her eyes. It was the tiger's smile when she saw her prey enter the ambush range.
The Chaos Champion was also experienced in many battles. In an instant, he instinctively realized that the situation was not good. A huge force came from the side and hit his shoulder. Although he was a tall man and was wearing heavy armor, the power was too terrifying and directly knocked his body out like a bundle of straw.
The attack was also very fast. It was not until the Chaos Champion's body soared into the air that his ears could hear the sound of the whip breaking through the air.
Xingke waved a long whip, and with just one whip, he pulled the Chaos Champion away.
Although this attack hit, her face looked paler and her breathing became more rapid. The battle just now consumed a lot of her physical strength. She needed to rest, but she also knew that she could not rest. Behind her, there was a passage hidden a group of old, weak, women and children, including Xingjian, who were invincible.
Lalia stopped and turned to look at the battle on the other side. The battle on the other side had already been decided - but both were injured. The three Chaos warriors had all fallen, but they also caused enough casualties. Eight soldiers fell, and the remaining three were injured and lost their combat ability.
"You retreat!" Lalia ordered. The only guardians now are herself and Xingke.
The sound of rapid footsteps came from behind, and Xingjian rushed out. "Sister..." She widened her eyes and looked at the temple lobby that had become a fire hell and a slaughterhouse. The remaining half of the sentence disappeared directly into her throat.
In the flames, the Chaos Champion who had just been knocked away roared and stood up again, his armor burning red. But he was not dead yet.
"Stinky girls, I'm going to kill you..." The inner fury overcame the pain in the body, and the Chaos Champion rushed towards this side, like a mad tiger. His target was not Lariya, but Xingke.
Lalia kicked the foot hard and kicked a corpse at him. The Chaos Champion's foot tripped the corpse, and in just a moment, Lalia had already gone around him. She prepared her momentum to stab a sword with all her strength.
The sword edge penetrated through the guardian's collar and pierced the opponent's neck. The sword swung the sword and the Chaos Champion's head flew into the air. His headless body continued to rush forward for two steps, and then pounced down violently. The unimaginable blood rushed out of the neck cavity, and quickly accumulated on the ground into a small blood pot.
"What's wrong?" Lalia quickly turned her head and shouted at Xingjian. "Have you found the secret passage?"
"Look... Found!" Xingjian recovered from the shock. Although she knew that fighting was going on here, she was still frightened and trembling. The difference between the twins was also revealed at this moment. Xingjian was still calm after experiencing so many battles, and Xingjian was already frightened just after taking a look. "Everyone... has started... evacuating..."
"We have found the secret passage, we have to retreat immediately." Lalia said to Xingke.
"No... there must be someone in the palace." Xingke was tired, but still calm. "Seeing that there was nothing in front. If we left now, then... they will catch up soon. Follow us... we can't escape without a horse or a car."
"Well, you have to wait a little longer before the flames will completely separate here." Lalia agreed with Xingke's judgment. "It's better to burn the entire place... If you break the pillars directly, it will probably collapse immediately... Xingke, can you do it?"
"No, I can try it normally. But I believe the success rate is not high... This house is built very strongly." Xing Ke replied. "I don't have the strength anymore."
"You go, I'll come to the palace." Lalia said. "Protect the queen... and my sister." She said softly. Her voice was very light, but naturally there was a certain point in it.
No matter what their position or relationship they had in the past, the life-and-death battle just now had greatly reduced the distance between them. From another perspective, both of them were girls who were good at fighting but were relatively simple-minded.
"No, you alone... can't defend here." Xing Ke replied. Chaos' attacks have rules to follow. They all destroyed the five Chaos warriors who rushed in. They should be able to win a few minutes... but it should be only a few minutes.
It takes about twenty minutes for the flames around to spread to an inaccessible state for humans. In other words, if they can defeat their opponents again, they can retreat safely.
"You're tired." Lalia said. She now understands the difference between herself and Xingke. Although the two seemed to be evenly matched in the last time they fought, Xingke's endurance is much worse than hers. After the fierce battle just now, she was still doing well, and Xingke is obviously exhausted.
But from another perspective, Xingke's fighting method combining magic and whip seems to be much more effective than her fighting with a sword.
"You can't have the palace behind you." Xingke repeated again. "But I can."
"You're already very tired."
"Although I'm tired, I'm keeping the strength of the last blow." Xing Ke smiled. "And it's troublesome to be surrounded by people... Even if you are not surrounded, you can't stop their pursuit alone. Unless they are so stupid that they don't care about others, they just stare at you."
"Sister!" Xingjian screamed.
"You and the Queen go first... I will follow you soon, with Lalia." Xing Ke said, with a smile on her pale face. "Don't worry about me, I will follow you soon."
"Are you sure?" Lalia asked.
"Of course there is no 100% sure. If you want to say 80% sure, then there is." Xing Ke said.
"I'll stay with you."
"No, the queen has left the tunnel, I don't know what to face. Guards are indispensable." Xing Ke said. "In addition, even if you stay, it will not help me."
Lalia was silent for a few seconds, "Okay." She said, grabbing Xingjian's arm with one hand and pulling it into the passage. "Remember to follow up immediately."
Xingke stood there, watching her sister and Lalia disappear completely at the end of the aisle, and she turned to look at the entrance on the front of the lobby. Unfortunately, the entrance was made of marble and could not be burned, otherwise she could have evacuated now.
A Chaos Warrior rushed in, paused for a moment, and immediately retreated.
It seemed... I had been waiting enough time. The silver-haired girl stood up straight, holding a whip in one hand, and the dagger was inserted into her body. This time it was a really bad trip to the front line... Although I could see Ash Rufate earlier, it seemed that the deal was a big loss.
Accompanied by a rough roar, the brigade of Chaos soldiers rushed in from the gate. "Blood sacrifice to the blood god!" They shouted like this, ignoring the scorching flames, blood and corpses, and rushed towards Xingke.
Xingke sneered. The next moment, she held the whip tightly. "Cracking the Sky!" she shouted, the power of magic condensed on the long whip, instantly turning the whip into a terrifying and invincible blade. With a wave of her hand, the whip danced from one end to the other. In an instant, all the Chaos Warriors turned into two pieces. None of the enemies rushing in were spared, and all turned into two pieces or even more. No, there was no one, there was one.
