1530 Words
“Keep your head down.”
The elf maiden's voice rang out from behind, and three whistling sounds appeared from overhead.
Mu En hastily shrunk his head, followed by three turquoise arrows that grazed the snow fox hat on top of his head and flew forward, hitting the heads of the three demons very accurately.
“Why don't I give you this position?” Mu En turned his head and proposed seriously.
“I need a meat shield.” The elf maiden was blunt, and the next moment she said again, “Lower your head and get down!”
Mu En crouched down in a hurry, and through the afterglow, he saw that a demonic creature had been funneled over in front of him and was running towards his side in a farty manner.
The distance wasn't far, and it was too late to gather arrows at this time, the elf maiden gripped the longsword at her waist with her right hand, and then drew it.
She rushed towards the demon, in front of her crouching Mu En at this time fell into a pedal, the elf maiden lightly stepped on his shoulder, Mu En saw the snow white calves under the hem of the skirt, immediately after that, he saw the elf maiden leapt into the air, and then like a dance spun around in a half circle, the longsword exuded white light, silky smooth and sliced the demon into two halves.
Landing in a half crouch to remove the impact, the elf maiden reared up and threw the long sword to Mu En behind her, saying, “Long bow.”
Mu En caught the longsword with his hands and feet, just now the elf maiden dropped the longbow aside when she drew the longsword, he picked it up and ran towards her like a penguin, however, he tripped over a stone on the ground and his whole body rolled like a ball.
The elf maiden stepped on the ball of Muon that rolled in front of her in disgust and bent down to retrieve the longbow from his arms.
“Thanks.”
Climbing up somewhat awkwardly, Mu En stood behind the elf maiden.
With the elf maiden's bow and arrow support, the demons' attack slowed down a lot.
He saw Copperbeard at the forefront wielding a sledgehammer, constantly smashing the demons flat.
Seeing one demon hit by an arrow and fall to the ground, he saw that people from the rear kept coming here for support.
Everyone had something to do, and he was the only one wandering around.
But he was also the only ordinary person in this caravan.
“Ah!”
At that moment, a professional with a lance was bitten in the arm by a demonic creature, and without even thinking about it, Mu En drew his legs and ran that way.
“Hey!” The elf maiden shouted back, however Mu En didn't hear her.
“Why don't you return the sword to me when you're gone.”
The elf maiden could only watch as Mu En took her longsword farther and farther away.
“Help me, help me!” The professional with the longsword shouted in panic, the others around him were all entangled by the demons and had absolutely no chance to save him.
“Hang on!”
Just then, a voice came from behind him, and then the lance professional saw a large sword fall, cutting the demonic creature that was biting his arm in half.
After resolving the demonic creature, Mu En pulled the Longshot Professional to the back and then used his longsword to chop the head of the demonic creature that was biting on his arm.
“Is it okay?”
“It's fine.” The lance professional looked at the bitten area and sighed in relief, “The outer armor isn't broken, it didn't get bitten through.”
Mu En was furious, “Then what are you shouting for! Not even injured, shouting that loud and thinking you're going to die soon!”
The lance professional scratched his head in embarrassment, “It's not the first time I was bitten without experience ......”
Not daring to say more, he carried his spear and hurriedly returned to his original position, saying a few more words Mu En was going to be so angry that he jumped up and smashed his head.
Back behind the elf girl, the long sword was taken back at the first time.
After being glared at by the elf girl, Mu En wilted and didn't dare to run around.
As time slowly passed, there were more and more demonic corpses on the snowy ground, but the demons were not decreasing.
The Centurion held up his large shield and slapped away a single demonic creature as he gritted his teeth and kept supporting it.
Copperbeard was a bit tired, even if he was a dwarf, he couldn't hold up swinging his sledgehammer so violently.
More and more professionals started to get injured, even the lance professional just now had his calf bitten off by the demonic creatures, at this point he was dragged to the back and treated by the priest.
Panic appeared in the hearts of the crowd, if this continued, there would probably be a rout.
“Hold on!”
The centurion yelled.
The elf maiden's magic power had been exhausted, and with her longbow hanging behind her back, she brought up her longsword and fought the demons face to face.
Mu En was on the sidelines to make up for the slashes, without the borrowed power, the elf maiden's strength wouldn't be very great, so most of the time she couldn't kill the demonic creatures, and needed Mu En to make up for the slashes.
When another demonic creature was cut down, the elf maiden looked ahead, “The last wave of demons is coming.”
Mu En used his greatsword to smash the demon's head, and he looked along with the elf maiden's gaze.
A dark mass of demonic creatures covered the sky, and they were constantly crawling out of the ground.
“Can we really survive?”
A professional at the side said in despair.
“Can.”
Mu En was very decisive.
He stretched out his hand and pointed at the back of the demonic group.
“Look there.”
The professional looked in that direction and seemed to see something, opening his mouth wide.
“That's ......”
“The army of Winter Fortress.” The corner of Mu En's mouth hooked up, it was the army wearing the same armor as the centurions that was dyeing the snow in another color.
Like a shooting star speeding, in a few breaths, the army of Winter Fortress was close at hand.
“Large space jump.”
The elf maiden said softly.
“Winter is coming!”
“Fight to the death and don't retreat!”
Seeing the familiar figure, the Centurion roared loudly as he unleashed his war cry once again, and everyone felt a mental jolt before the power in their hands grew considerably larger.
The army of Winter Fortress similarly shouted out these two words, and in the next moment countless spells flew out from the legions, directly covering the tide of magical creatures, like a rubber, wiping away the dirt on the white paper, revealing the snowy whiteness underneath.
With the support of the Winter Fortress, in just a few minutes, the demons were almost completely wiped out.
The few remaining ones that hadn't been affected were soon cleared as well.
“Whew, it's over.” Mu En put down his greatsword and sighed in relief.
Although the greatsword was only ten pounds, his small arms were very sore from helping the elf maiden mending all the way down.
At some point, the elf maiden's hood had slipped off, and her long light golden hair hung down around her waist.
Her magic power had recovered a bit, and Mu En saw that the elf maiden just flicked her fingers, and then the long blonde hair moved on its own, tying a hairstyle out.
“Not bad.” Turning around, the elf maiden gave a commendation.
Mu En smiled heatedly and scratched his head, but grabbed his greatsword again and walked towards the front.
Copperbeard had already walked back and caught the greatsword handed by Mu En, which he retrieved into his space pouch.
“I smashed a hundred and twenty demons!”
Copperbeard said proudly.
With such a battle record before arriving at Winter Fortress, he would have something to brag about with his fellow clansmen when he arrived at Winter Fortress.
“I hacked fifty of them to death!”
Mu En crossed his arms.
Although it was all elf maidens hacking down, and he then proceeded to make up for it.
But let's just say it wasn't him who killed them.
“Invincible!” The two looked at each other and both extended their right hands, then slapped them.
The elf maiden was a bit speechless, inserting her longsword back into the scabbard on her waist and walking back to the rear carriage.
