Chapter 346 The Death of Bluebeard
When Nancy stood on the spire of Eagle City, the shock in her heart was beyond words.
She had previously thought that her preparations were sufficient, but she still underestimated the scale of 50,000 people.
It was literally a moving town.
There is a clear distinction between horse thieves and pirates.
The horse thieves all rode tall horses and wore heavy armor of different colors, new and old.
There are more of them, but they are not neat. In the sparse team, there are all kinds of flags with extremely "distinctive personality", all kinds of colors.
Some are simply tattered clothes hung up haphazardly.
The most numerous of them is a piece of black cloth with a ball of red dye splashed on it - that is the symbol of blood eyes.
In contrast, although the pirates' troops were smaller in number, they were more orderly and uniform in dress, behavior, and advancement and retreat.
After all, on the sea, if you cannot advance and retreat in a controlled manner and cooperate tacitly, you will often have a tragic ending of the boat capsizing and people dying.
The pirate's iconic skull and crossbones flag was flying in their ranks, and the skull also wore a blue three-cornered hat.
The most eye-catching ones are the lizard pirates.
Their skin is mainly blue and green, covered with fine scales, and their bodies are huge and strong.
Although it stands upright like a human, its legs have an anti-joint structure.
Even though they were covered with plate armor, there were no gauntlets and boots that could fit their webbed hands and feet, and one could clearly see the bones and muscles that were far thicker than human beings.
As the horn sounded, the pirates, who were infantrymen, immediately launched an attack.
At that time, Nancy ordered the establishment of three lines of defense.
But these simple buildings made of stone and wood could not withstand the impact of those lizard pirates.
The militiamen who were temporarily pulled up on the low wall of the defense line had never seen such a formation?
To them, the lizardmen were simply demons crawling out of hell.
Whether it was the snake-like vertical pupils, the slender tongue, or the hacksaw-like teeth, they were extremely frightened.
The claws on the lizard man's hands and feet are naturally useful for climbing; the heavy armor on the body and the scales underneath make the crossbow useless.
Amid the screams, in less than half an hour, the first line of defense failed.
The militiamen who were originally guarding the top and had not undergone much training could only retreat hastily and evacuate to the rear through the troop transport channel.
"There's no point in continuing like this!" Nancy looked solemn.
She underestimated the strength of her opponent.
Those three layers of temporary defense lines would only cause greater losses to the already small population of the Eagle Territory.
"Send my order for everyone to evacuate immediately!"
"Eagle Eye Guards are dispatched to organize the people to evacuate to the shelter!"
It must be said that this is a very timely remedy.
The militiamen were originally unable to cause much damage to the lizardmen soldiers wearing heavy armor. The only thing that really stopped them was the layers of defense.
Facts have proved this.
Even if the militiamen quickly retreated through the troop transport road, the defense line blocking the road was still a huge obstacle to the pirates.
And their speed of clearing obstacles on the defensive line is no slower than when someone is guarding it.
The lizard pirates here have just cleared the city wall, but the horse thieves behind them can't sit still.
Before the pirates could close their formation, large groups of horse thieves rushed out like urine, roaring and rushing inward.
Behind the defensive line is Eagle Town.
At this moment, the evacuation has not been completely completed!
Thor, who was riding on the horse, had already heard the deafening sound of horse hooves coming from the earth, and his breathing began to become rapid.
Growing up in Eagle Town, he had heard too many rumors about horse thieves.
It can be said that the cruelty of the horse thief was deeply imprinted in his soul.
It's not too late to evacuate now!
Seeing the panicked civilians not far away, and seeing the ornaments on his body representing the Eagle Eye Guard, a kind of determination grew in my heart.
If he abandons his responsibilities and withdraws now, he may be able to escape punishment thanks to his father's relationship...
However, on the front line, did Hoyaz and the others retreat?
No!
If he ran away, not to mention that he would no longer be worthy of the armor of the Eagle Eye Guard, his future prospects would probably be cut off.
No one, including his own father, would think highly of him Thor anymore!
Not to mention Julia!
"Barek, you bring 9 followers and build a defense line with me!"
"Others, protect civilians and retreat!"
Thor grew up in Eagle Town. He is very familiar with the terrain here and knows how to use the terrain to his advantage!
In just a few minutes, the street trees on the roadside were cut down, and together with the tables, chairs and benches in the street buildings, a not very strong roadblock was created, blocking the only way for the horse thieves to pass.
Thor, on the other hand, led 10 followers to guard behind the roadblock.
As a security force, the Eagle Eye Guard's retinue is quite well-equipped. In addition to swords and spears, each of the 20 retinues under each Eagle Eye Guard is also equipped with 5 crossbows.
A group of more than ten horse thieves turned the corner, and the leader had a blue beard that couldn't even be covered by his faceplate.
Thor's palms were filled with cold sweat, because he had seen the blood stains on the machetes of the horse thieves.
I'm afraid, someone has already encountered something unexpected.
"Get ready..."
Although the retinues of the Eagle Eye Guard receive training together with the Eagle Army, the training time is relatively short, and the crossbows are almost never used in actual combat.
Although the crossbow is powerful and can break through heavy armor within 20 meters, it is meaningless if it cannot hit the vital point!
As the horse's hooves got closer and closer, Thor could even see the scratched marks on the opponent's armor through the gaps in the roadblock.
"Cum!"
The five crossbows fired their crossbow arrows together.
A crossbow arrow flew away and sank into the wall.
Two crossbow arrows penetrated the chests of the two horse thieves, causing them to fall from their horses on their backs before they even had time to scream.
The remaining two crossbow arrows were aimed at the leading blue-bearded horse thief.
Just when these crossbow arrows were about to hit his chest, Blue Beard's body was suddenly covered with a layer of bright yellow fighting spirit armor.
The crossbow arrow hit it and broke almost instantly, and then the fighting spirit armor surged like a sea of sand, swallowing up the remains of the crossbow arrow!
Yellow sand fighting spirit, fighting spirit armor!
Thor's pupils tightened: "Is it a second-level extraordinary!?"
"Quickly retreat!!!"
Before he finished speaking, the scimitar in Bluebeard's hand had already condensed with billowing sand and dust. He raised the scimitar high and then slashed it down——
"Desert Sword!"
Buzz
The rolling sand and dust came out of the hand, and wherever it passed, the ground was torn apart. The yellow sand that was originally used as part of the roadbed was squeezed out, sprayed out, and mixed with the yellow sand.
It turns into an increasingly stronger yellow sand blade!
boom! ! !
The yellow sand blade hit the roadblock and cut it open almost instantly.
The tree trunks, wood and even the iron nails inside were turned into powder by the squeeze and grinding of the yellow sand.
The huge impact directly threw Thor up, even causing him to lose consciousness briefly.
When he came to his senses again, he saw that the roadblock had completely disappeared, and almost all of his followers fell under the butcher's knives of the horse thieves.
Blood flowed all over the ground.
Without any time to fear, Thor struggled to touch the eagle feather sword at his waist.
Hawkeye Guards cannot die without a fight!
Snap.
The sound of boots hitting the ground sounded, and Bluebeard dismounted and walked to Thor:
"Where are the snow chickens?"
As he spoke, he lifted up his visor, revealing a ferocious face.
A horrific scar ran from his forehead to the bridge of his nose, penetrating his right eye, and there was only a shriveled depression under his eyelid.
The wound seemed to have appeared recently, and a trace of pink swelling could be seen in the healed area.
This is Blood Eye's punishment for Blue Beard, because not only did he not persuade Snow Chicken, but he let him run away, allowing Eagle City to prepare.
"Oh, you may not be familiar with the name Snow Chicken, but he also has another name, 'Bent'."
Thor looked at Bluebeard coldly. At this moment, he was surprisingly calm:
"I don't know where Bent is, and even if I knew, I wouldn't tell you."
He obviously brought back correct information, but just because Bente had surrendered to the horse thieves, no one took his information seriously.
If it weren't for Mrs. Nancy's overwhelming preparations, Thor could not imagine what kind of disaster the Eagle Territory would suffer.
In the end, Bente had to die to wash away his stigma. Bent learned from the past that Thor would never surrender to a group of horse thieves.
"It's a tough one." Bluebeard smiled coldly, and slowly lowered the scimitar in his hand:
"I just don't know if you can still be so strong if I break your bones bit by bit!"
Thor snorted coldly: "Come on, if I frown, you will win!"
The scimitar fell, Thor's muscles suddenly tightened, and his breathing stopped involuntarily.
When——
The scimitar suddenly swung away.
Bluebeard took a few steps back and looked around in surprise. Before he could regain his footing, a muscular figure suddenly pounced on him!
There was a dense clanking sound.
The figure was smaller than Bluebeard, and his fighting spirit was only a thin layer attached to the sword's blade.
Even the speed is not necessarily faster than Blue Beard.
Please...you...collect 6...9...books...!
But the figure's skills were truly astonishing, and he always placed himself on the right side of Blue Beard.
Bluebeard, who had lost his right eye, could not accurately capture the figure's movements.
The long sword was used as quickly as a dagger, and the attack was like a storm, surrounding Bluebeard's vital points at all times, making him exhausted in defense.
The figure stabbed with another sword. Bluebeard turned his head away, turned the blade to parry, and blocked the long sword attack.
The sword's momentum changed, changing from thorn to sharpening, and headed towards Blue Beard's throat. This forced Blue Beard to flip his wrist, turn the scimitar, and push the sword away.
But immediately the opponent's knees were lifted up and pressed against his chest and abdomen, causing him to groan and take two steps back. Before he could stand completely, the sword was about to penetrate his face!
"Get away!!!"
No longer caring about grudges, Bluebeard roared, and the grudges in his body exploded violently. A storm of yellow sand spurted out from his mouth, deflecting the trajectory of the sword.
Bluebeard seized the opportunity and swung his sword towards the long sword, but the long sword that should have lost control suddenly retracted, allowing him to slash into the air!
And he was finally able to see the appearance of the intruder.
"How could...?" Blue Beard's face showed doubts, confusion, surprise, and a hint of greed and lust.
It was a relatively short woman, only about 1.65 meters tall, wearing the iconic armor of the Eagle Eye Guard.
Her face is delicate, with a hint of childishness, and she looks like she is 15 or 6 years old.
Now after a battle, sweat appeared on her forehead and her messy hair stuck to her face, exuding a temptation that made people want to hold her in their arms and ravage her.
The most attractive thing is her figure.
It was so full, bulging, and surging that even the breastplate could no longer hold it, and overflowed from the edge of the armor.
The cloth under the armor was soaked with sweat and clung to the soft roundness.
Bluebeard, who has experienced many battles, can see at a glance that there is simply no room for it in one hand!
Excellent!
The opponent who just fought against him and suppressed him for a time turned out to be such a woman!
Bluebeard smiled:
"What's your name?"
"A mere horse thief, he doesn't deserve to know." Julia drooped her wrist slightly and assumed a standard lower sword stance.
"That's such a pity." Blue Beard's body was full of fighting spirit: "Your swordsmanship is indeed terrible. You can be said to be the most genius person I have ever seen in my life."
"If you are given 10 years, then you may really become a famous female swordsman in the mainland, and it is even possible to start your own sect."
"But you are too young and don't know how to seize the opportunity."
"It should be because of that little guy, right?"
"If you wait for my scimitar to fall to the ground before attacking, maybe I will really hate you when I see your swordsmanship for the first time."
"But now, you don't have that chance!"
The fighting energy of the yellow sand spurted out from Blue Beard's body, and the earth suddenly stirred up like a boiling porridge pot.
Just as Julia was about to move, she found that her feet had been firmly bound by quicksand!
"Prison of quicksand."
Bluebeard raised his scimitar and walked towards Julia step by step: "It will not only fix your feet, but over time, it will also slowly swallow you, eliminate your flesh and blood, and wear away your bones." .”
"And if you try to break free now, it will use greater force to crush your tender feet!"
"You should be lucky that I am a gentleman and will not let women experience too much pain."
Bluebeard licked his lips, his eyes filled with undisguised desire, as if he wanted to peel Julia apart from head to toe.
"However, you still have a choice. Surrender to me now. I promise that you will only become my woman!"
Julia felt sick.
She had come into contact with the women Raven had brought down from the bloody heights, the poor people who had been ravaged by horse thieves.
They are still unable to communicate with any man, and even friendly help will make them scream.
Occasionally, Julia also saw their scarred bodies. Many scars were imprinted on the most sensitive and private parts of women.
"Bah!" A spittle stuck to Blue Beard's face.
"I will remember that you left me this last memory!" Bluebeard wiped the saliva on his palm and put it into his mouth: "Now, go to hell!"
The blade waved.
Julia mentioned the Eagle Feather Sword. She was not ready to give up. Even if she had to give up her feet, she would not wait to die here!
"Ah——"
A roar came from behind her ears, and Julia suddenly felt her feet move, and her whole body was squeezed out of the sand by a huge force!
Thor's body appeared at Julia's feet. His armor had been twisted by the yellow sand, and his hands and feet were broken and deformed, covered with blood.
But there was a hint of fanaticism in his eyes: "Come on! Julia!!"
Julia handed over the sword in her hand.
All this happened in the blink of an eye, and Bluebeard couldn't react in time.
The way he swung the sword was to imagine that Julia was tied up in place, and subsequent changes in attack and defense were based on this.
But now, with the help of Thor, Julia moved 30 centimeters to the left.
It also left a gap of less than 5 centimeters in Blue Beard's original defensive line.
For Julia, that was enough.
The Eagle Feather Sword was wrapped in the chaotic void fighting spirit, passed under Bluebeard's wrist, pierced his fighting spirit armor, penetrated from his open mouth, and came out from the back of his head!
"..."
The earth returned to calm, and the yellow sand fighting energy on Blue Beard's body instantly disintegrated, and blood mixed with saliva flowed down his mouth.
Clang.
The scimitar fell to the ground.
Bluebeard turned his eyes with difficulty, swept across Julia, and landed on the almost half-disabled Thor.
Could it be that the people of the Eagle Leader...
Aren't you afraid of death?
Boom!
The Eagle Feather Sword was retracted, and Bluebeard's body fell to the ground.
Julia gasped slightly, but did not relax.
Although her retinue formed a formation and could barely resist Bluebeard's horse thieves, more horse thieves were coming from all directions at this moment.
The battle continued. The eagle feather sword in Julia's hand kept dancing and adjusting her pace, killing the incoming horse thieves one by one.
Even though she had become extraordinary and even though her swordsmanship was good, she was still increasingly unable to cope with the seemingly endless horse thieves and the need to protect the seriously injured Thor.
The sword was as sharp as an eagle's feather, but it was too dull to be used even after killing 11 horse thieves.
She could only pick up the horse thief's weapon and continue fighting.
The sun gradually rose to the middle of the sky.
During this period, Thor also shouted to her to leave, but Julia was still killing the enemy.
She set a bottom line for herself, which was to leave the strength for the last two swords.
Leave one sword for Thor and one for yourself to avoid being tortured by the horse thieves.
suddenly.
A row of crossbow arrows shot over the head, instantly knocking down a row of horse thieves not far away.
The pressure is waning.
A group of soldiers in heavy armor rushed up, fought off the horse thieves, and protected her tightly.
"Little girl, you really are so good at fighting!" A man's voice appeared: "You just don't have any tactics at all."
Julia turned around and looked, suddenly shocked:
"...Baron Judra!? Why are you here?!"
