Chapter 889 871. Steps and Horses (3000)
Let’s not mention the anomalies observed by Archbishop Louis, but Lan has to admit that these church knights are indeed very capable.
It is indeed a knighthood that can be awarded the personal coat of arms of King Osroais.
The profound bishops who were in the area where the giant fell to the sky were like a piece of egg under the stone when faced with this scene.
Those who run fast can naturally escape from the crushing range.
But if you run slowly, you can only make the muffled sound of bones being crushed in the flesh and blood from the giant's fallen body, and the 'puff' sound of the broken bones piercing the flesh and blood spurting out after being crushed to the extreme. .
In this world, giants are slaves. Their bodies seemed to have formed a thick layer of cyan dead skin due to years of fatigue and dirt.
After being knocked upside down by Lan En, the giant's entire back was dyed a deep blood red that was almost black.
But what about the church knights who were still climbing up the giant?
“Plop.”
The heavy and strong body was unconsciously lifted up by the church knights underneath it.
The knight, who was like an iron tower, silently raised the giant limb that was pressing on him and walked out from below.
These church knights generally have two equipment systems.
One is the shield-hammer knight, who holds a thick tower shield that is larger than the front area of an ordinary person, and is paired with a hundred-page hammer with a hammer head the size of a human head and a length of one and a half meters.
If this hammer were placed in the hands of ordinary people, it would take all the strength to just lift it.
But in the hands of the church knights, this is a one-handed war hammer that fits the hand.
The other type is the sword knight.
These church knights may be following the same combat philosophy as Lan En: crushing targets with exploding heavy weapons.
They carried a large sword on their shoulders, but were otherwise unarmed.
The width of the big sword is fifty centimeters, and the overall length is basically the same as the height of the church knight's chin.
Judging from their similar size to Lan En, they should be over two meters long.
And now, these silent and tall knights are stepping out from under the giant's corpse.
Then he climbed up again and approached the witcher on top of the giant!
[turbid current·annihilation] was pulled out from the giant's head.
The gluttony of the Nergigante on this sword is still lingering on the flesh and blood nutrition of the corpse. The black mist-like dragon attribute energy is the same as the huge wound on the corpse's head.
It was like a tiger licking the bits of meat off the bones with its tongue.
The friction between the broad chain mail lining and the plate armor outer cover became rapid. The leading knight with the great sword, the armor parts on his body were clattering due to the rapid footsteps before engaging the enemy. .
The knights in this world are used to fighting in silence.
Even if they have been corrupted and distorted by the profound faith, the church knights will still enter the death arena without saying a word.
The Church Knight with the great sword was the first to approach. The great sword slashed downwards from the right shoulder to the left waist.
This is a diagonal chop with a low target. The movement is very standard, even standard to rigid.
When facing an opponent of the same size as himself, using this strategy at the beginning of the first attack made Lan En wonder whether these knights had not fought against opponents of the same size.
The witcher just took a slight step back, then raised his right foot in front of him, and then a diagonal slash aimed at a low body passed under his foot.
Judging from Lan En's current swordsmanship skills, he will hardly make any inefficient movements during sword fights.
Dodge will basically become a prelude to attack.
As he raised his front leg, the [Turbid Current·Destruction] in his hand was also raised above his head.
Stomping your feet to enhance the power of the downward chop is the technical feature of [Wei Mingliu·One-Character Slash].
Available now!
“Bang!”
First there was the astonishing sound of stomping feet!
The solid stone ground had been stamped out by Lan En's feet, creating a spiderweb-like depression!
Follow up with the sword blade!
“咣~”
The unique structure inside the giant sword makes the collision sound of [turbid current·annihilation] uniquely identifiable.
But the sound of the collision this time was unusually not as loud as the stomping just now.
Lan En opened his eyes slightly in surprise and looked at the church knight in front of him.
This knight is a bit interesting.
Lane's sword is larger and more powerful than that of the Church Knight.
The overall length of the cathedral knight's great sword is only up to their chin, but if Lan En's great sword wants to stand upright with his hand on the hilt, Lan En's hand must be raised to his head.
Just when Lan En was about to chop down [Turbid Current·Destruction], he found that the church knight had already followed the inertia of the sword he had just chopped down.
Adjusted his position to the side.
Aiming at Lan En with his shoulder.
And immediately used a shoulder bump, trying to close the distance with the demon hunter and distort his posture.
From sword swing to shoulder collision, it is very difficult to connect such a fast and smooth movement.
This knight is not a temporary change of tactics, this is his planned strategy from beginning to end! Slashing is a feint attack, and shoulder collision is used to disrupt the enemy's posture and shorten the distance between us and the enemy. If the shoulder collision is successful, it will be followed by another fatal slash!
But he obviously didn’t expect that Lan En’s giant sword swordsmanship could be so smooth, and his avoidance and attack were completely connected.
Different from the smoothness caused by his tactical planning, this is a real technical level that is high enough!
So this shoulder collision, which was originally used to disrupt the enemy's rhythm, is now used to attack instead of defend.
Close the distance by shoulder-to-shoulder collision, get out of the way of the terrifying and most lethal front sword of [Turbid Current·Destruction], and head towards the hilt, whose power has been greatly reduced.
And at the end, when the bone-white blade of the giant sword struck the church knight's shoulder armor, the guy made a stance similar to a lunge.
This posture seemed to carry some supernatural power, which once again weakened Lan En's slashing effect.
That’s why the collision of the sword blades was so slight this time.
After Lan En's moves were forced to go wrong, it was the Church Knight's turn.
[Lung Step] is indeed a sword skill posture that can trigger power through movement, greatly improving the stability of your body posture in a short period of time.
Once the posture is stable, the damage the enemy can cause will naturally be less.
The next step is the linking move of the Church Knights after [Lunge].
After the Church Knight suddenly lunged forward with a [arrow step], the cat-eye pupils in Lan En's eyes shrank slightly.
Because he saw that after the enemy took this posture, his body movements could actually create an afterimage.
That is not a visual deviation caused by too fast speed, but a genuine image residue with illusory texture.
The image remained, causing the Church Knight's movements to leave a white trail that was only half a beat slower in mid-air.
There is no doubt that this is supernatural power.
Lan En didn’t know whether the afterimage itself was the effect of this supernatural power that he was currently unaware of, or whether it was the activation characteristic of this supernatural power.
But he didn’t want to gamble. In fact, there was no need to gamble.
The magic ring on his hand is sensing.
His guys have arrived!
“唏伦LU!”
A war horse neighed, accompanied by the strong electric field of the New World Ancient Dragon [Fantasy Beast], appearing in the hall of the Netherworld Church!
The noble blue and white horse can walk on flat ground in the primitive and peculiar New World, and a regular building like the Deep Church is truly "flat ground" to it.
“Stab it!”
An explosion accompanied by the roar of electricity briefly caused the tinnitus of all normal people in the hall.
The pure white rune silk cloth fluttered in the air, and the unicorn with lightning flashed straight through the blockade of a group of deep bishops and came behind Lan En!
The witcher didn't even look at it. He was familiar enough with his friend that he could even communicate spiritually.
Lan En's arm just grabbed back and naturally grabbed Qilin's pale mane.
The body of the New World Ancient Dragon activated immediately.
Its speed is much faster than the sword swing of the church knight in front of me!
In almost the blink of an eye, Lan En, who was holding on to the unicorn's mane, was completely out of the attack range of the church knights.
It doesn’t matter what kind of supernatural power you have, if you can’t hit it, you can’t hit it.
The advantage of cavalry over infantry lies here. Only those who can overcome it are qualified to speak.
That Church Knight’s connecting move is really powerful.
After he lowered his body through the [arrow step], he twisted the big sword through his wrist and waist, and swung it in two full circles in the horizontal direction!
The illusory white afterimage is just like a big windmill.
With the whistling wind whipped up by the big sword, Lan En felt that if he was still within the attack range, although he still had many ways to avoid being injured, there was a high probability that he would be cut away directly!
But now after riding Qilin, he has too many choices.
Qilin's hooves kicked in the hall, and Lan En was still standing half on the ground while pulling his mane away.
In the blink of an eye, Lan En was already on his horse.
And after the church knight swung the sword twice, Qilin used its tough and powerful ancient dragon body to turn around and rush over in an instant!
With this set of extremely fast turns, even monsters with weak joints in the New World would lose their ankles on the first trip and would need to rest for several days to recover.
But for ancient dragons, especially the ancient dragon species like Qilin, which are very good at running, this is just a daily walk.
Before the church knight could react, Lan En was sitting on Qilin's back, and the sword on his back was already resting on his shoulder armor.
"What a pity"
Lan En smacked his lips.
"If it were normal, I would definitely have a good showdown with you."
The Knight of the Church of the Great Sword just raised his iron bucket-like helmet amidst the slight collision of armor, and tightened his grip. Then
“Bang!!!”
The highly recognizable sound of the collision echoed throughout the church hall, almost giving people the illusion that the church bell on the roof had been smashed down.
The great sword of the Church Knight, who had performed well just now, was slanted from his shoulder to his chest.
A ferocious, wide, transparent gap from front to back has appeared on his tall and strong body!
The giant sword with the momentum of a unicorn almost chopped off half of his body!
Blood spurted upward from the gap, like a fountain.
