Half Elf Ranger

Chapter 382 Prepare to attack
Under the bright sun, the warm wind blows.

Garrod, who was wearing a full body armor, tightly held the steel shield and one-handed sword in his hand, and walked with heavy steps to the very center of the duel field under the tower.

Looking at the Kou Tao murloc rushing towards him, Garald's cold eyes hidden in the masked helmet froze slightly.

I saw him holding a shield in his left hand and a sword in his right, squatting slightly sideways, and with his slight movements, the heavy armor on his body creaked and creaked.

At this time, Garrod seemed to be integrated with the ground, and a mountain-like aura suddenly exuded.

Standing on the tower, Thorne stared intently at the heavily armored warrior holding a shield and defending like a mountain, and suddenly recalled the Stone Dragon School martial arts in the Nine Swords genre in his mind.

This school of martial arts is very focused on defense, and it is a martial art that relies on the power of the earth and rocks to strengthen itself.

Moreover, he is also specialized in how to transfer the enemy's attack to the ground with the help of the power of the earth, or guide the destructive power of the earth, and use the shock method to directly pass the solid armor with his own attack, shattering the bones and flesh of the enemy. .

In short, swordsmen who are proficient in the martial arts of the Stone Dragon School are not only an insurmountable tower on the battlefield, but also make the enemy attacking you as powerless as moving a mountain with bare hands.

Its own attack seems to have the weight of a mountain, and it can easily crush the armor and flesh of the enemy.

Thorne once hesitated between the Steel Soul School and the Stone Dragon School when choosing a genre.

If the Steel Soul faction focused on mental defense, then the Stone Dragon faction focused on physical strength.

As an agile ranger, he finally chose the steel soul martial arts.

After all, he can rely on his flexible body to avoid fatal attacks, but the weird and unpredictable control spells are hard to guard against.

Facts have proved that with his current strength, the role of the Steel Soul faction is indeed more significant than that of the Stone Dragon faction.

Of course, because of this, his only shortcoming now is that his body is too weak.

Facing the oncoming attack, in most cases, he will rely on his flexible body to evade, and then take the opportunity to launch a counterattack instead of blocking and counterattacking.

Therefore, Thorne believes that if there is a chance to choose other schools in the future, Stone Dragon School martial arts will undoubtedly be the best choice.

Downstairs, as the Kou Tao murlocs approached, the atmosphere on both sides began to become solemn, and the air seemed to exude a strong smell of gunpowder.

"Hey, Jiangyutou, I heard that your bullshit god is a bitch with a crayfish head, is it true?"

Looking at the Kou Tao murloc walking cautiously beside him, Garald slapped the shield with the back of his sword and said provocatively at the same time.

At the same time, he used the light reflected by the sunlight on the stainless steel shield to directly shine on the two big eyes of the Kuu Tao fish that could focus independently.

In the wilderness survival, let them understand a truth, that is, to successfully anger the enemy, humiliating the gods they believe in is undoubtedly the best choice.

Moreover, as a double-shield guard known for their defense, the "taunt" skill is also a compulsory subject for them.

Because in a battle, if you can successfully provoke the enemy's anger and draw hatred on yourself, it is almost equal to winning half of the victory.

Of course, the premise of all this is that the strengths of both sides are not much different.

At this moment, the Kou Tao murloc, who was already sensitive to light, once again felt the direct rays of light, coupled with the fact that the enemy blatantly humiliated his most respected "Mother of the Sea", his anger suddenly rose. ,
The silver-white scales of the Kou Tao murloc under the sun instantly turned red with anger.

It can be seen from this that most humanoid creatures in the wilderness are always not very bright in their brains.

"Tin can, court death!"

Immediately afterwards, the bullet-like murloc screamed, waved the two fine gold short swords in his hands, and launched an attack on the immovable heavy armored warrior first.

"Ding! Ding! Ding!"

Under the direct rays of the sun, the kuo-tao murloc's nimble hands danced an impenetrable sword net, shining pale golden light, and hit Garrod, who was wrapped in full-body armor, like a storm. , issued a piercing sound of metal and iron.

As a double-shield guard known for his defense, Garrod had replaced one of the shields with a one-handed sword, but he was protected by a full-body armor, so he didn't feel much effort.

Because when facing the crazy attack of the Kou Tao murloc, he only needs to guard against the sharp blades that try to penetrate the body through the gaps in the armor links.

As for other attacks, they will only be easily counteracted by the sturdy armor, leaving behind inconspicuous scratches.

This is the main reason why he dared to take the initiative to fight when he saw that the enemy was a kuo-tao murloc proficient in melee combat.

Because the enemy's attack is almost equivalent to nothing for him.

After all, the racial characteristics and size of the Kou Tao murlocs directly determine that they cannot become a fighter who focuses on strength except for incumbent spellcasters.

This also meant that Garald, who stood still and never moved, was like an unshakable mountain in the eyes of this kuo-tao fishman who did not have the ability to cast spells. No matter how he attacked, he would appear pale and powerless.

"boom!"

The two colliding figures separated as the Kou Tao murloc kicked Jarod's shield.

"Little fish head, is this all you can do? Go on!" Garald looked at the slightly panting Kuu Tao murloc not far away with a relaxed expression, and slapped the shield with the back of his sword provocatively again.

So, as the angry Kou Tao murloc exerted force on his legs, the sound of metal colliding with sharp blades intertwined again.

Looking around, it can be found that whenever the Kou Tao murlocs collide with Garald, the long sword in Garald's hand does not make any targeted counterattack except to counteract the deadly attack of the murlocs.

And Kou Tao murloc gradually let him understand that the iron can in front of him is not so easy to shake in the repeated attack failures, and he is gradually immune to the other party's taunts.

Therefore, in order to preserve their energy, the Kuu-tao murloc's attacks became less aimless, and instead they chose to keep walking back and forth around Jarod.

Looking at the Kou Tao murloc swimming back and forth by his side, Garald also secretly heaved a sigh of relief.

After all, he was wearing an armor weighing tens of kilograms. Facing the intensive attacks of the Kou Tao murlocs, his defense seemed to be perfect, but at the same time, his physical strength was also rapidly draining.

And because Thorn's reminder asked him to delay for as long as possible, this also made him unable to choose to end the battle quickly.

Now, this brainless Kou Tao murloc has finally become more cautious, which means that his parrying is no longer so frequent, and he can take the opportunity to save a certain amount of physical strength.

At the same time, as long as he raises his vigilance to defend against the enemy's ready-to-deliver fatal blow.

Under the bright sunshine, as the surrounding temperature slowly rises.

During this more than an hour, Garrod had fought against the Kuu Tao murlocs more than a dozen times in a row, and both of them began to show signs of exhaustion.

Especially the kuo-tao murlocs, as amphibious humanoids, although they can also breathe on land, long-term high-intensity battles on the ground will only make their wet skin dry slowly, causing their own strength is greatly affected.

Just like the Kou Tao murloc in front of him, the slippery mucus secreted from his scales has gradually solidified due to lack of water supplement, so that his body looks like it is covered with a layer of sun-dried As uncomfortable as glue.

"It's almost time to end." Garrod, who was slightly out of breath, glanced at the somewhat dazzling sky, knowing that his physical strength was about to reach its limit. If he continued like this, he might not be able to participate in the subsequent counterattack.

So when his eyes hidden in the masked helmet looked at the Kuu Tao fishmen who were about to attack again, they gradually became icy cold, and the shield and long sword in his hands clenched a little bit involuntarily.

— "Shield Slam!"

The moment the Kou Tao murloc was about to approach Garald, Garald raised his shield to protect him, and charged forward instantly with a standard shield-raised charge.

"boom!"

Jarod, who suddenly burst out with all his strength, slammed into the unprepared Kuu Tao fishman fiercely like a golem. The hard steel shield directly hit him dizzy, and his body staggered backwards.

"Pfft!"

Immediately afterwards, Garald took advantage of the victory to pursue, and under the cover of the shield, the long sword that was ready to strike accurately pierced the body of the Kuu Tao fishman, and took advantage of the opportunity to cut through his gray-white scales due to fright, and plunged into the body fiercely. inside of his body.

"thump!"

A gust of blood splattered, and the body of the Kou Tao murloc fell on his back.

Looking at the dead Kou Tao murloc, Garrod heaved a sigh of relief, put his long sword into its sheath, reached out to take off the mask he was wearing on his head, and headed towards the tower of Twilight Town without looking back. go.

"Lord Sarayan, be ready to launch a counterattack at any time." Seeing the end of the protracted battle between the two sides, Thorn once again glanced at the dazzling sky and the many lizardmen and bully frogmen on the ground who began to hide in the shade of the trees. , Immediately reminded Sarayan beside him with a solemn expression.

"Then I will leave the next battle to you. On behalf of everyone in Twilight Town, I would like to express my sincerest thanks to you."

Sarayan, the lord of Twilight Town, naturally understood the true meaning of Thorne's words, so he looked at the half-elf ranger in front of him, looked upright, clenched his right hand into a fist and hammered it on his chest, and bowed to him very respectfully .

Others in Twilight Town followed Sarayan's example and bowed down to Thorne.

Thorne, who was not used to such occasions, frowned, turned around and looked at a hobgoblin warrior walking out of the hobgoblin camp, immediately put the hood of the cloak on his head, and then took out a black face towel to cover it face.

After everything was ready, Thorne jumped down from the tower without wasting any time.

　Thanks to the boss: o Yuxiaoyanran o for the reward, thank you for your support! ! !
