Bloodline Lord of War - Chapter 117
Chapter 117 You run away and I chase after you
Entering [Thunderstorm Mode], Robin’s speed and strength have doubled. Originally, relying on shields and heavy armor, these heavy armored soldiers could still somewhat defend against Robin’s attack. Robin could only cut one person at a time at most, and it would be impossible to cut any more.
But in the thunderstorm mode, the shields and heavy armor of these heavy armor soldiers seemed to have become paper. Robin swept over with a sword, and could cut down three or four in one go.
Baron Baron watched Robin fighting with thirty heavy armored soldiers from afar. He was completely stunned. Cold sweat flowed down his forehead like rain. But Robin alone!
Not only that, even the thirty heavy armored infantry were still retreating steadily. They could only defend passively, and it was Robin who was attacking!
Attacking 30 people by one person, Baron has learned a lot today.
“Bring the bow!” Baron roared, and stretched out his hand to the side. In desperation, he decided to sneak attack Robin.
The adjutant on the side immediately handed over a hard bow and an armor-piercing arrow.
Balong skillfully drew the bow and set the arrow, the muscles of his arms, shoulders and back exerted force at the same time, and the bowstring was immediately pulled like a full moon. He took a deep breath, and the fighting energy in his body was stimulated, and the arrow was covered with a faint white fighting energy light.
His eyes were as vicious as a falcon, staring closely at Robin who was fighting fiercely among the crowd. Seizing the moment when Robin turned his back to him, Baron let go of the bowstring.
Robin, die!
The armor-piercing arrow shot out, and with a bang, it went straight to Robin, drawing a straight thin line in midair.
Just as he was about to shoot Robin, Robin turned around suddenly, raised his left hand, and grabbed the flying arrow!
Seeing this scene, Baron’s eyes widened in shock, and he even grabbed the flying arrow with his hand!
Robin looked at Baron in the distance, and a mocking sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth, as if mocking Baron’s overreaching, and even wanted to sneak attack.
Then, Robin activated [Lightning Sensing], and squeezed the arrow with a little force, and a silver electric current erupted from the arrow immediately, making a “cracking” explosion.
The heavily armored soldiers around saw that Robin had released the thunder and lightning, and they all showed expressions of astonishment, and they froze in place for a while.
Robin lunged forward, exerting strength with his waist and arms, swung his left hand forward, and threw the charged arrow back.
The moment the arrow was released, under the blessing of the Titan’s divine power, the arrow and the air were violently magical, making a piercing scream. The speed was so fast that the naked eye could hardly capture its flight path.
Balon’s face changed drastically, and he saw a silver lightning flash in mid-air. Before he had time to dodge, he was shot in the left shoulder by an arrow.
The arrow shot directly through Baron’s shoulder, and even the armor on his body.
Baron couldn’t believe it. The distance between the two sides was nearly a hundred steps. Robin not only threw the arrow back with his hands, but also had such a strong penetrating power!
He screamed and fell off his horse. The adjutant and the surrounding guards saw him and rushed to surround him.
Robin saw the arrow shot in Baron’s shoulder from a distance, and frowned in dissatisfaction, thinking: Throwing it with hands is really too inaccurate.
Baron was helped up by the adjutant, and the electric current from the arrow shot into his body, and he immediately felt that half of his body was paralyzed by electricity.
“My body…can’t move!” Baron exclaimed in horror.
Although the arrow failed to kill Baron, it also completely broke his fighting spirit.
He looked into the distance, Robin was still fighting fiercely with the heavy armored soldiers, they were killed by Robin one by one, leaving less than twenty people. Just as Baron looked over, another heavy armored soldier was pierced through the chest by Robin’s sword.
Farther away, the three spear formations were completely suppressed by the highlanders, and half-elves were still shooting arrows. The arrows released by the elven longbow fell into the spearmen’s formation densely like rain, and soldiers kept screaming and falling to the ground.
Because the spearmen were far away, they only saw Baron falling from his horse, but they didn’t know whether Baron was dead or alive. Many soldiers even stretched their necks to look towards Baron. It’s about to collapse.
Baron felt angry, humiliated, and more unwilling. His mighty 500 elite soldiers were unable to defeat Baron Robin’s more than 100 miscellaneous troops. The cruel reality was like a cold knife, slashing at his hot ambition one by one.
He was not willing to run away in such a desperate way, but his reason told him that he could not fight any longer. If he didn’t retreat, he might even die here.
Right now, the most important thing is to preserve strength, and I will find Robin for revenge later! Baron said to himself in his heart.
“Adjutant!” Baron called out with a livid face. The paralyzing effect of lightning made his tongue a bit difficult to use. “Order the entire army to retreat in an orderly manner!”
Baron almost gritted his teeth to give this order.
The adjutant was taken aback for a moment, then his expression sank, and he immediately replied: “Yes, Lord Baron.”
“Woooooooh—”
Then, the horn sounded for retreat.
On the battlefield, retreating is definitely a great science, especially when the two sides are fighting together, it is very likely that retreating will turn into a big rout. Retreat, especially the test of a team’s organizational skills.
Obviously, Baron’s troops did not have such a strong organizational ability. Although he gave the order to “retreat in an orderly manner”, when the retreat horn really sounded, the three spear formations in front immediately collapsed completely.
After all, the soldiers who are still alive have managed to persist until now, and no one wants to die on the way to retreat.
And Baron was in a state of being unable to organize the army at this time. He was hit by Robin’s lightning, and half of his body seemed to be pierced with a thousand silver needles. The pain made him sweat profusely, and his mind gradually became unable to think. up.
The adjutant and a few soldiers hurriedly helped Baron onto the horse, and Baron ignored the others. He firmly grasped the reins with his remaining good hands, clamped his feet on the horse’s belly, and shouted: “The whole army retreats!”
The retreat immediately turned into a rout. Baron led the remaining heavy armored infantry and fled eastward. They retreated in a somewhat orderly manner. But the spearmen were completely in chaos, and the remaining 200 soldiers fled eastward. The troops were completely disorganized, like a herd of wild sheep on the grassland.
Of course Robin would not let them retreat so easily. He split the heavy armored infantry in front of him into two halves with one sword, and then raised his sword and ordered loudly: “Don’t let them run away, all pursue them!”
In the vast grassland, a big scene of running and chasing immediately took place. Baron’s troops fled in front, and Robin led the team to chase after them. If they catch up, they will kill one.
Robin led the iron guards and half elves to chase them for thirty miles in one go, even chasing many Windcastle soldiers until they spit white foam. Many Wind Castle soldiers couldn’t run any longer, so they simply surrendered to Robin and the others.
In the end, it was Baron’s adjutant who led a death squad and stopped Robin and the others for a moment before allowing Baron and the rest of the troops to escape.
After killing all of the adjutant’s troops, Robin saw that Baron had disappeared, and decided not to pursue him in desperation. Anyway, Baron can run, but his old nest, Wind Castle, cannot.
Robin glanced down, and Baron’s adjutant died at his feet, half of his shoulder was chopped off by Robin’s sword.
“Bury the man,” said Robin.
For this adjutant who defended his master with his life, Robin admired him and his loyalty, but unfortunately, he followed the wrong master.
Simon and Luke walked up to Robin, and the two took off their helmets one after another, revealing their blood-stained faces.
Robin also took off his helmet, wiped the blood on his face, looked at his two subordinates, and praised: “Good fight.”
Soldier Iron Bear showed an excited smile, laughed and said: “This battle was really fun!”
The elf boy also followed suit, showing a row of neat big white teeth.
“Each count the casualties, clean up the battlefield, and then retreat, back to Rage City.” Robin said with a serious expression.
“Yes!” Simon and Luke stood at attention together and replied loudly in unison.
After this fierce battle, although no one was killed on Robin’s side, almost everyone was injured, and more than 20 people were seriously injured.
Tiewei was the most seriously injured because he was on the front line all the time. Fortunately, before the battle, Robin ordered everyone to drink a bottle of moon water.
Although the fight was brutal, the results were also very gratifying. After this battle, all iron guards were promoted to the second level of bloodline, and all awakened the skill of [steel hardening].
A dozen of the half-elves have been promoted to the second level of bloodline. Robin checked the bloodline system, and these upgraded half-elves have awakened a new bloodline skill: [Long-range shooting].
This skill is amazing, it extends the longest shooting distance of the half-elf by nearly double! In other words, once the [Long Range Shooting Mode] is turned on, the half-elf can shoot at the enemy, but the enemy archers can hardly touch the half-elf, and can only be beaten unilaterally.
Robin was overjoyed, he stroked his chin and thought: If this skill is used properly, even archery alone can defeat the enemy.
The battle was over, and there was a thick smell of blood in the air. The battlefield was full of corpses of Windcastle soldiers. They fell in disorder on the grass. If you were lucky, you could leave a whole body, but if you were unlucky, you would be cut to pieces. , This one and that one, I can’t even spell it out. The blood they bleed seeped into the ground, even staining the soil with a layer of dark red.
At this time, the sky had gradually darkened. With the help of the last yellow afterglow of the setting sun, the iron guards and half-elves ran back and forth among the corpses, like hardworking ants, scraping weapons, armor and other valuable things from the corpses.
The stripped naked corpses were thrown together one by one, and soon a hill was built on the grassland, with people piled up on top of each other, layer by layer, and all kinds of stumps Broken arms, I don’t know who owns these arms and legs, so I just throw them all into the pile of corpses and let them go to the underworld to find them by themselves.
Robin stood on the grassy **** beside him, with a big sword in his hands beside him. He fought too hard in this battle, the sword was considered useless, and the blade was full of gaps. After hitting the back, the big sword almost became a blunt weapon. Just relying on Robin’s divine power, even with a blunt weapon, as long as the strength is strong enough, it can tear a person in half.
The battle on his side was over. At this moment, he thought of Tess and the deer cavalry. He sent the deer cavalry to intercept Baron’s food team. He didn’t know what happened to them.
…
It was gradually getting dark. Under the vast darkness, there was a convoy setting up camp on the grassland. Nearly a hundred carriages full of food and various utensils were lined up neatly in the grass. The scene looked quite spectacular.
This is the logistics team of the Windcastle Army. They left Windcastle a day ago. Under the supervision of the new logistics captain, they traveled day and night until dark. The captain finally ordered the convoy to stay overnight.
The soldiers and farmers of the logistics team skillfully set up camp on the grass, and a temporary triangular tent was quickly erected in the camp, and then they started to light a fire to cook, and one after another small fires were lit.
While the logistics team was busy, no one noticed that in the depths of the night, dozens of pairs of eyes were watching them from afar.
A few miles away from the camp, Tess and a group of deer cavalry were ready to charge. Tess rode on the snow and stood in front of everyone. Behind her, the deer cavalry formed a phalanx.
Suddenly, a group of dark clouds slowly moved away in the dark night sky, revealing a round of bright moon. The watery moonlight shone on the resolute faces of the half-elves, and every cavalry exuded a cold fighting spirit.
Tess raised her head and looked at the moon in the sky. She looked pious and prayed to the moon: “Great moon god, please bless us.”
Then, Tess flicked the reins violently and shouted, “Cavalry, charge!”
By the time the logistics team found the deer cavalry, it was too late, and they were carrying a lot of food and supplies, and they couldn’t run away if they wanted to.
Seeing groups of deer cavalry charging towards him under the moonlight, the captain of the logistics team was so frightened that his legs gave way and he almost sat down on the ground.
“How can there be enemy cavalry here!” He yelled in horror with his face pale. “Quickly, organize the defense!”
There are only nearly a hundred soldiers in the logistics team, and the rest are farmers, and their combat effectiveness is about zero. Under the urging of the captain, these soldiers quickly formed three spear formations in front of the camp.
Most of these soldiers were new recruits on the battlefield for the first time. All of them held their spears tremblingly, and some of them didn’t even hold the spears in the right posture.
The deer cavalry rushed over rumblingly. The deer hooves not only stepped on the ground, but also stepped heavily on the hearts of these soldiers. Fear spread silently in the hearts of the soldiers.
The captain originally thought that these cavalry would rush forward in one go, so that he would have an advantage in strength, and he might be able to contend. However, the opponent didn’t hit the spear array at all. The deer cavalry rushed to the front of the spear array, and immediately turned to run parallel to the spear array.
While running, the half-elves bent their bows and set arrows on their horses, and began to shoot at the spear array at close range. Because they were almost face to face, the half-elf had almost no empty targets. After a round of shooting, the spear team immediately reduced its staff by half. The remaining half of the people also collapsed immediately.
