Chapter 139 Magic 3
Barnett "gently" pushed Victor's sword aside, then raised his leg and kicked him in the stomach.
Then Victor flew backwards in the direction of Paul like a thrown doll.
The soldiers who came with the captain of the guard saw how powerful the other party was, and reached a tacit understanding with each other's eyes. They raised their swords and slashed at Barnett.
For Barnett, the strength of an ordinary adult man may not be worth mentioning, but the combined attack of everyone cannot be underestimated.
He avoided most of the attacks with very agile movements, and still received two or three stabs on his body.
The soldier who hit Barnett's body felt like he had been struck on a big rock, and his hands and mouth were numb from the shock.
"Lord of Heaven! What kind of monster is he!" Someone shouted in horror.
"He is a wizard who uses magic to enhance his strength and defense!" The female consultant next to Paul suddenly shouted, "You can't fight him up close, so keep your distance and entangle him."< br>
"Wizard? Magic?!" The female consultant's words made everyone confused. Is the monster in front of them an evil wizard?
Although strange stories about wizards and magic have been circulating among the people, when the legendary things suddenly appear before our eyes, it still makes people feel at a loss.
The "monster" who took a few blows didn't seem to be hurt at all. He suddenly rushed towards the soldier closest to him and waved his fist at lightning speed.
The soldier's head seemed to have been hit by a big hammer, and he fell to the ground unconscious in an instant.
Barnett fired his bow left and right, punching almost one after another, knocking down a large number of soldiers in a few breaths.
In just a few seconds, he was still fighting and dodging, cleverly avoiding several arrows shot by the female consultant on the opposite side.
However, he gradually felt that something was wrong. The female archer's aim was too terrible. Almost every arrow was aimed at his eyes. If he didn't have [Danger Sense], he would have been shot from the eye by an arrow. It penetrated the brain.
With the ability of a mortal, it is impossible to achieve this point, unless...
...
From the sudden attack of the cloaked man to the present, less than a month has passed. Within minutes, the situation took a turn for the worse.
People cannot prevent unknown dangers beyond their own knowledge, just like the people on earth in "The Three-Body Problem" never thought that they would be hit by a two-way foil.
Although there was a reminder from the female consultant, before that, whether it was Paul, Victor or the soldiers, they either did not believe in the existence of wizards and magic, or they were stuck to the image of wizards in folklore, and did not expect the current scene. .
In folklore, the image of wizards is like this:
They wear tall pointed hats, gray and white shabby robes, and carry a wooden stick called a wand. There were a lot of beards on their faces, and some of them were hunched over.
Wizards generally do not choose to conflict with people head-on. Instead, they hide in secret and quietly carry out their own plots, using spells, curses and potions to control other people's minds, interfere with other people's destiny, and even murder other people's lives. .
When having to confront the enemy head-on, the wizard will use illusions to confuse the opponent, or use a wand to cast fireballs at the enemy from a distance, or summon wolves, bats and other animals to help fight.
But wizards also have a fatal weakness. Although they can control powerful magic, their bodies are extremely weak. Once they are approached by a warrior with strong martial arts skills, it will be their doom.
But what's going on with this strong, invulnerable madman in front of him, who rushes into the enemy pile and fights with his bare hands at the slightest disagreement? Everything is the opposite of the legendary wizard’s characteristics.
At no time before, no one would have thought that a large group of their own would be blocked by a wizard in broad daylight.
Even after the other party showed hostility, everyone thought that he was just a bold maniac, with bare hands and no armor on his body. Even if he possessed peerless martial arts, in their dozens of years, Food is also served in front of the number one.
Even the female consultant Ladi did not expect that the danger she divined was caused by a wizard until the other person showed some familiar aura.
After a brief moment of stupefaction, Paul's brain regained consciousness. Although the female consultant's reminder made him feel absurd, he couldn't care less. Regardless of whether he was a legendary wizard or not, there was no way the other party wanted to take his life. It would be wrong.
"Musket! Kill that bastard with a musket!"
He anxiously ordered the guards around him, ten of whom were carrying matchlocks. Due to the limited production of muskets and gunpowder, they were given priority to the army and navy that defended against external enemies. The internal guard troops were only equipped with a small number of firearms, and their main equipment was cold weapons such as swords.
So they do not conduct shooting training every now and then like soldiers of the army and navy. They only fire a few rounds occasionally to avoid forgetting the operation steps.
It is precisely because of this that they did not immediately think of taking off their muskets. Faced with such a tense situation, they subconsciously relied on more familiar knives or swords.
After Paul gave the order to use muskets, their loading movements did not have the smoothness of full-time musketeers.
Loading the matchlock gun is very troublesome, and what is even more unfortunate is that you have to light the matchlock in the biting cold wind, and it will go out if you are not careful.
At this time, the soldiers who followed Victor and rushed up were basically knocked down by the wizard. They were lying on the ground, either alive or dead, or moaning because of their injuries.
The wizard's cloak was also chopped into tatters by the soldiers, and he strode towards Paul.
Seeing the enemy approaching, Ladi said in a deep voice: "I will buy time for you, hurry up and prepare the muskets!"
She didn't know whether the guards' muskets could break through the cloaked man's defense, but at this time This is all that can be done, his bow and arrow are either caught or dodged, so he can only hope for faster bullets.
Ladi had watched the soldiers' shooting training. Even after using [Concentration], she had never caught the trajectory of the bullet. She was deeply impressed by the speed.
The female consultant concentrated her mind, put her hands together in front of her chest, and shouted: "Wall Shield Technique!"
Before she finished speaking, a circle of air surrounded the female consultant as the center. There were ripples visible to the human eye, and soon, Paul and the soldiers were surprised to find that they were wrapped in a translucent "cover".
"Sure enough..." Barnett's eyes lit up with rage after seeing all this, "My previous suspicions were indeed correct!"
He suddenly exerted his strength and rushed to the "hood" almost instantly. Come forward, and then punch it hard.
The translucent "cover" made a circle of ripples, and the fist as big as a casserole penetrated in, but that was the end, the wizard's body still remained outside the "cover", tightly " "Pasted" on it but unable to move forward.
“Hurry up!” Paul was so anxious that he almost burst into tears, urging the musketeers around him.
“Hmph!” Barnett retracted his fist, “I want to see how long you can hold on!”
He waved his arms continuously and punched the "cover" hard one after another.
“Traitor!”
“You are the same as us!”
“You actually serve mortals regardless of your own identity!”
“Help These lower creatures are fighting against their own compatriots, but you are doing your best!”
Barnett was shaking his fists while shouting curses, and dirty words continued to come out of his mouth. The female consultant had completely attracted his hatred.
No matter how much Barnett insulted her, La Di remained unmoved at all, but as the "hood" was attacked again and again by the opponent's fists, her complexion became more and more ugly. Despite the cold weather, her face But beads of sweat broke out.
"Everyone! Aim!"
Following Paul's order, ten soldiers armed with muskets aimed at Barnett.
The muskets were finally all prepared. The reason why those who had finished loading earlier did not fire first was because they noticed that when Captain Victor attacked the wizard alone, the other party resisted without dodging, and Later, when many soldiers slashed at him with their swords, he actually hid.
Therefore, in order to cause maximum damage to each other, they decided to fire together.
The moment that determines the final outcome has arrived...
