Astartes of the Bear School

Chapter 903 885. Combat Skills: Arrow Step

"Crack!"

The great sword of the Lothrik Knight was enchanted with the light of [Blessed Weapon], and the blade was huge and kept sharp.

A straight and sharp arc was drawn in mid-air, cutting through the bodies of the three enemies in front of him like a hot knife cutting through butter.

It was like cutting off three straw men.

Lothric is originally a country of dragon slaying, and the knights of Lothric, who are the pillars of force, are also knights who can slay dragons.

But later, for some unknown reason, he started to associate with dragons.

But that doesn't mean they've become weaker.

The specifications of the Lothric knight's greatsword can clearly be seen. It is a weapon prepared for killing giant creatures.

Every time this sword slashes, it can bring out the sound of electrical chaos and golden arcs.

This means that this kind of sword has supernatural thunder and lightning power that can target dragons during the forging process.

"There doesn't seem to be anything unusual about these guys."

Behind the knight commander, Lan En swung his sword to fend off an enemy who wanted to sneak attack from behind, and then pressed half of his body over him. The man was pressed against the stone brick wall, restricting his movement and struggling. At the same time, the blade also penetrated his body during the squeezing process.

However, the low-pressure battle situation did not make the Knight Commander and Lan En feel relaxed.

Because their initial goal was to find out why these attackers were not afraid of dragon breath.

But these enemies attacking the gatehouse are too normal.

The gatehouse on the bridge entering the city is similar in structure to a small city gate. Above are the arrow rest and walkway, connected to the bridge deck through a narrow staircase.

If the enemy wants to attack, it is almost as difficult as attacking a city.

The level of these attackers is generally higher than that of ordinary soldiers, so they can still attack upwards in unfavorable terrain.

However, this 'high level' of combat effectiveness cannot be considered an 'abnormal' range.

"I have no idea!"

The leader of the platoon, Knight Commander Lothric, shouted without looking back while continuing to advance down the stairs.

"It's too messy here, there's not much you can see!"

The current situation is indeed chaotic.

The attackers attacked up the stairs. The Lothric soldiers who were originally responsible for guarding were retreating steadily, while the knight commander and Lan still wanted to rush back down to collect intelligence.

Many people panicked and huddled together on the battlefield of knife point and death.

Their shouts, screams, and flurry of weapons were so chaotic that it was difficult to distinguish between ourselves and the enemy.

The effect of a sudden attack is so outstanding when there is no preparation in advance.

"asshole!"

After finally squeezing past the panicked soldiers of his own side, and finally having no friendly forces hindering him from all directions, Knight Commander Lothric, who seemed to have been unhappy for a long time, couldn't help but curse loudly.

The narrow stairs and the friendly forces just now made him extremely constrained.

And now.

"Huh~"

It was as if the movement pulled the air, making it whistle.

Knight Commander Lothric raised his sword on his shoulder and took a lunge forward.

An obviously supernatural white shadow left a slightly slower trace behind his movements.

[Combat Skill·Lunge]!

It's like a standard posture that has been refined over time.

The prelude of this action is exactly the same as that of the Church Knight, but the subsequent offensive actions are quite different.

Logically speaking, it would be unwise to use such a move with a large range of motion and large flaws in a crowd of enemies.

But in the process of performing [Combat Skill], because the soul power is used simultaneously, no matter how the enemy attacks, as long as the [Combat Skill] has started, the soul power will ensure that it continues to operate.

At the same time, the enemy's attacks during this process will also be greatly weakened due to the soul power used by the caster.

Although this opportunity does not last long, it is difficult to grasp. But for skilled and experienced warriors, a moment of opportunity is enough to turn the tide of the battle.

Sure enough, the moment the knight commander took a stance, the enemies surrounding him subconsciously attacked him.

However, these attacks that were supposed to deform the armor, at this moment, only caused the flesh under his armor to be slightly bleeding.

The next moment "Stab!"

The hilt of the big sword that was originally held by the shoulder drooped, and the two-meter-long blade had begun to slide from behind to the ground from back to front.

The blade of the great sword rubbed against the stone tile floor, causing dazzling sparks!

Then he seemed to have accumulated strength while gliding close to the ground.

There was an explosion of "click"!

The sword blade, which was finally dragged forward by the knight captain, suddenly unleashed all its power!

On this narrow staircase, from bottom to top, a perfect upward cut was performed!

The power of this upward slash is completely different from the previous knight commander's usual slash!

Before this, the knight commander who did not use [combat skills] was still a powerful warrior in Lan En's eyes.

But for a long stone with a cross-section as big as a washbasin, he could only cut through half of it with one strike of his sword.

And with this [Combat Skill], his sword not only directly flew away the stumps of at least seven or eight enemies in front of him, but also sprayed a shower of blood.

It even blew away a large section of the stone brick stairs under my feet!

The entire bridge into the city is constructed of this kind of stone brick, which is a long strip of stone with a cross-section as large as a washbasin.

The rocks lifted up by this upward slash were thrown back with about the same force as those thrown by a catapult.

The enemies on the stairs below didn't have a good way to deal with the rocks that were shot at them. They could only make muffled sounds of bones being broken in flesh and blood, and screams of pain.

With one [Combat Skill] and a narrow, one-line staircase, the knight commander cleared the enemies in front of him almost instantly!

As for the remaining ones, their own people were killed and injured in large numbers, and their bodies were naturally rolling downwards, and their footing was unstable.

"[Alder]!"

With a 'bang' sound, the transparent air shock wave passed over the knight commander and swept towards the scattered attackers still standing below.

The final wave of impact completely caused everything on the stairs below to roll down.

Scattered rocks, corpses, stumps, and tumbling living people.

"[Force Burst]? Are you from Catalina?"

As they walked down, the knight commander asked in surprise.

Lan En didn't speak behind him. He seemed to have confused the effect of the demon hunter's seal with another thing in this world.

"I thought the knights of Catalina just drank a lot and sang in that funny armor. You're pretty taciturn."

As if because he was about to go down to the bridge, the knight commander walked down while teasing the knights of Catalina in a relaxed tone.

Lan En, adhering to the principle of 'speak less and make fewer mistakes', just nodded silently.

The entire upward staircase had been cleared, which was quite bad news for these attackers.

They couldn't even spare any manpower to continue the attack.

Lan En and the Knight Commander quickly walked down the stairs, just in time to see the two dragoons in the sky, and controlled the flying dragon to spray fire towards them and sweep them over again.

They flashed across the sky, their vision restricted. So I can only spit fire on the bridge in a disciplined manner.

In order to prevent damage to friendly troops, the coverage area of ​​the dragon's breath is not extended toward the stairs and the gatehouse above the stairs.

The two people who quickly came down the stairs happened to see the attacker being blown away and rolled onto the bridge, being burned by the dragon's breath.

The flames in the flying dragon's mouth are not only hot, but also have a powerful explosive impact.

Lan En saw with his own eyes that a group of attackers who had not yet gotten up were knocked into the wall by the dragon's breath.

Then there was a shrill scream, and there was a 'crackling' sound of flesh being burned rapidly.

Burning to death is one of the most painful ways to die.

By estimating the temperature of the dragon's breath, Mentos has simulated the consequences of being burned by a flying dragon.

These attackers did burn a little slowly under the flames.

But Lan En understands very well that the close connection between the body and soul of people in this world means that they cannot be viewed by the standards of 'ordinary people' in other worlds.

Therefore, he didn't say much and just watched what the knight commander said about this situation.

And under the hidden observation of the cat's eyes, the expression of the knight commander who lifted his visor was indeed puzzled.

The burning effect of these attackers who were driven down the stairs should be considered normal in this world.

"It seems I have to go to the bridge to find those attackers who can resist the dragon's breath."

The knight commander said seriously.

"Please don't follow me. Thank you for your help."

"Can those dragoons see you when you say something like this?" Lan En asked with a frown. "Can they control the flying dragon and prevent you from being included in the breath range?"

When the demon hunter heard what the knight commander said, he always felt as if he was going to take a risk.

The knight commander silently shook his head. It seemed that those Lothric dragoons had not yet controlled the flying dragon's breath, allowing it to accurately bypass a person's precise control.

"But someone has to do it. If a small mess cannot be cleaned up, it will turn into a big mess. We can't delay it any longer."

Lan En looked at the knight commander of Lothric. He had seen many people who were willing to sacrifice their lives for something.

This is obviously another one.

This kind of person cannot be persuaded.

The demon hunter shook his head and stretched out his left hand towards a shield scattered on the bridge in the distance.

The mechanical hook above starts with the mechanism.

The shield was a kite-shaped shield. It was blown away by the wave of dragon breath just now, and the outer side of the arc-shaped bulge fell to the ground and was shaking.

The precise hook directly hooked the fixed gripper on the inside of the shield and pulled it over.

The shield seems to have gorgeous reliefs on the shield surface, but now after several rounds of dragon breath, only a piece of black ash is left covering it.

As the hook lock was recovered, Lann grabbed the shield and handed it to the knight captain.

"I know I can't stop you, but at least I should hold something against it first. That sword doesn't have much defensive area."
