Destiny Thief

Chapter 157 Arrival of Reinforcements I

Verdun was the captain of the five-masted battleship "Mayflower". In the local fleet of Afron, he belonged to the rank of senior officer, but now, he is no different from ordinary soldiers—— The raging fire filled the air with thick black smoke, and the heat of the flames scorched the surface of his armor scalding hot.

He loosened the straps of the breastplate near his neck, and the feeling of stuffiness finally eased.

"That kid, he's going to die this time."

He looked at the scene in front of him and murmured.On the outskirts of the sea of ​​flames, the main force of the army under the command of Sai Lun, the raiding team led by him, had already surrounded the area.The soldiers and officers drew their bows and arrows, and the arrows were shining orange-red, pointing at every figure trying to escape from the flames——

"Whizzing--"

Arrows fell like rain, and a chubby figure was instantly turned into a hedgehog by the soldiers—the wailing sound stopped abruptly, and he recognized the man: a director of the Gem Sailing Chamber of Commerce, just a few days ago, He also did a business with them on armor and arrows.The jewels, gold and silver looted from the overseas islands were exchanged for weapons and combat supplies, and now, these things were returned to him in such a cruel way.

Verdun remained silent, he did not stop the soldiers from killing innocent people indiscriminately.If it was normal, the crime of massacring civilians in the kingdom would be enough to be hanged—he understood the order given by Sai Lun, and if it was him, he probably couldn't rule out doing so.Intermittent cries came from the flames, he narrowed his eyes, the scorching flames blurred his vision, turned his head, he suddenly froze.

"Are we going to fail?"

A soldier looked at his comrades beside him and muttered silently.Like most people in the fleet, with resentment in his heart, he has been bravely fighting on the front line from the beginning to now.When he saw a large group of light cavalry in red and white smocks appearing on the opposite side of the street, he was stunned - this was the lord's guard, he knew that those guys had despised them more than once.But now that the two sides had finally become real enemies, he wished he could chop the enemy into a pile of flesh with the steel knife in his hand.

But he couldn't move his feet. Not far in front of him, surrounded by those light cavalry, a slim and beautiful girl appeared. On the war horse, the girl took out an exquisite short-handled staff from her bosom, and a voice with strange syllables and accents sounded from her mouth—this is spell chant!He remembered that the wild mages he had encountered before performed the same movements when casting spells, but compared to those people, although the girl in front of him looked calm, she had an unrivaled power.

Extremely dangerous!

This feeling suddenly appeared in the soldier's heart.He has always believed in his premonition. In the past battles, this premonition has saved his life countless times - looking back, there is no officer by his side.The soldiers just watched the large group of light cavalry with vigilance, and spontaneously formed formations to prepare for battle.In order to guard against the assault of cavalry, they stood very densely.

"The enemy has mages, spread out!"

The soldier shouted with all his strength, but in the noise, not many people heard his voice.The ordinary soldier's clothing on his body also determined that he could not make effective commands. The red-haired girl opposite him swung his staff and drew an arc in mid-air. He could only see blood red in front of his eyes.

Dragon Slash!
When she came to Buffalo Avenue and saw the scene in front of her, Miss Lina Barros already knew that she and the lord's guards came too late, and after seeing these soldiers killing civilians with her own eyes, she finally let go of her inner fetters and anxiety: the soldiers in front of them They used to be soldiers of the kingdom, but now, they have been reduced to a group of bloodthirsty and brutal beasts.With no more reservations, she shot and used her strongest attack spell.

During that expedition to the ruins, she fought against the giant puppet knight, and she seemed to be suddenly enlightened about the spell of [Dragon Break], a free continent system (Bracada system), and a lot of thoughts appeared in her mind. experience.And these days, she has repeatedly pondered and practiced, perhaps because she is a flame-friendly person and has excellent psionic talent, she quickly mastered the initial spell-casting skills.

She and the light cavalry of the lord's guard watched countless legionnaires being engulfed in the bright red fiery torrent—the spectacular scene only lasted for a few seconds. The streets were empty, save for charred walls and pavement.

"Miss Barrows."

A light cavalryman with a red tassel on his helmet swallowed a large mouthful of saliva and shouted in shock.He had heard that the niece of the Marquis was an amazing female mage.But the hellish scene in front of him still filled his heart with shock. He was not the only one who felt this way. The other light cavalrymen in the Lord's Guard all turned their attention to the figure of the red-haired girl. At this time, including those belonging to The enemy's Kingdom Navy soldiers were all stunned on the spot.

"This?"

Verdun not far away was completely surprised and even panicked.As a high-ranking officer, he is more knowledgeable than the soldiers under him. As soon as the female mage made a move, he roughly judged the opponent's strength. , the number of mages is rare, and mages who have reached the [Awakening Realm] are even more difficult to see.

This is Afron, Northland Seaport.And not him? What the hell Bracada!

Verdun tried his best to find the figure of Sai Lun. Facing such a powerful enemy who appeared out of the plan, he couldn't make up his mind for a while—retreat?Ever since he decided to attack, he had forgotten the word.

But there is still such a female mage in the light cavalry team of the lord's guard.He knew that it was just a ridiculous joke to deal with the enemy's reinforcements simply by relying on ordinary soldiers swarming up.

The soldiers seemed to be terrified, and they couldn't help stepping back. The original tight siege soon showed a big opening on the front side of the street.The light cavalry of the lord's guard surrounded the red-haired girl and rushed up, some of them formed a temporary defensive horizontal formation to block the middle of the street, and some began to rush into the burning building to start rescue.

And among those light cavalry, a blond girl appeared again. She jumped down from behind a man on horseback, took out her staff and continuously released [Ice Mist].
