Gargoyles were basically the nightmare of all land units.
Even in Roddy's impression of modern warfare, having "air supremacy" also represented an absolute advantage. The existence of armed helicopters in local battles was far more deterrent than cannons and tanks.
This situation was also applicable in this era. In Roddy's eyes, one Gargoyle was far more troublesome than eight iron puppets!
Arrows were the only form of attack that could pose a threat to the Gargoyle, but it was only a "threat". Even an archer at Roddy's level could only avoid the Gargoyle's sharp edge when facing a diving Gargoyle. The Gargoyle's speed was far more ferocious than the charging cavalry. Not many people could withstand a single scratch from its claws!
"Run towards the corridor! Be careful of the Gargoyle! "
Under the effect of "Sprint", Roddy got rid of the puppet that was chasing behind him. But then he realized that the Gargoyle was not heading towards him, but was diving down from afar.
"Boom!"
A thunderous sound exploded, and the visible impact caused the entire ground to tremble for a moment. A few civilians who were running directly fell to the ground, then got up dizzily and continued to run further away.
Roddy's vision was obscured by the sand and dust, but he immediately knew who the Gargoyle was attacking. Only Wellington would have such a formation when he was counterattacking!
But Wellington, the powerful "Ghost Knight", could not make Roddy feel at ease. Facing the Gargoyle, even Wellington could only be passive. This was the most typical case of "mutual restraint between units". Before the "strength" exceeded a certain limit, the cavalry could not do anything to the aerial units.
It seemed that the enemy was not only targeting him, but also wanted to kill Wellington as well!
At this time, he also understood why Butler Blake chose to attack just now. Wellington was the only existence that could directly fight against these iron puppets. So if they wanted to finish the encirclement as soon as possible, it was best to execute it when Wellington left.
"What a good scheme … This bunch of bastards."
Roddy turned around and shot an arrow. The arrow hit the head of an iron puppet, but the arrowhead was cut off by the puppet's pure metal head with a "ding" sound.
"The attack is ineffective …"
Roddy's expression became even more unsightly. He immediately shouted at Sodelor, "Ruger and Carter are on standby at the armory. Scouts should have already informed us. Go find a horse and be careful of the gargoyles in the sky!"
"Understood!"
The entire town of Paer was in a strange state. The Knights Templar panicked, and so did the civilians. Only Roddy and Sodelor were still rational and clear-headed enough to judge the situation and even give orders as they ran.
The Templar Knights who rushed over immediately retreated after receiving the order. They looked at the eight black "iron men" and the two guards who were chasing after them in shock. They raised their swords and did not know what to do.
One of the Temple Knights ran too fast and did not hear the order. He ran into the puppet team from the side. Without thinking, he raised his sword and slashed at the puppet team. Unexpectedly, his short sword was embedded in the back of the puppet team. Before he could pull it out, a hammer swung at him from the side and sent him spinning away.
"Idiot!"
Sodelor cursed in his heart, but he could not stop this from happening. He turned into an alley on the side and disappeared from the sight of the puppets. The eight iron puppets did not seem to be very intelligent. After thinking for a while, they turned around and tried to outflank Roddy.
However, the two guards were much faster than the puppets. They chased Sodelor into the alleyway like a war chariot. The wooden barrels, fences, and even wooden walls in front of them were all like papyrus, shattering into pieces amidst the rumbling sounds of impact. They were firmly on Sodelor's tail, unable to completely shake him off!
In comparison, the pressure on Roddy's side was much smaller.
The eight iron puppets shook the ground as they walked. Their momentum was terrifying, but their speed was obviously not fast. Roddy was not stupid enough to fight against a group of iron puppets. He kept running in front.
At that moment, his thoughts were very clear. His own combat power was not enough to solve the problem head-on. The only one who had this ability was Wellington. So, how to solve the problem around Wellington became Rody's only focus.
Speaking of which, Roddy was in a very bad situation. Fortunately, Roddy relied on his vigilance to win the "initiative" in this "extremely passive" situation!
Blake did not expect his "encirclement" to be seen through. He also did not expect that with all his abilities, he would be directly trampled to death before he could even cast half a spell.
As the specific planner of this operation, his death meant that the puppets would lose their command and could only rely on their instincts to complete the "task."
This was an advantage that was created from countless "disadvantages."
Roddy only thought for a moment before he came up with a plan. He did not stop and used "Leap" to jump onto the roof of a nearby house. But before he ran a few steps, he heard the sound of horse hooves and instantly frowned.
The strange sound of horse hooves was definitely not from a scout or a Holy Knight. Roddy turned his head and suddenly felt a chill permeate the air.
At the end of the street, a puppet knight with a shining metallic luster appeared.
This was the true horror of the "iron puppets". The "puppets" they summoned could not only use weapons, but could also ride warhorses and become cavalry!
The "puppet knight" that appeared in front of him was riding a skeleton warhorse that was fully armored and holding a silver lance. It was charging straight towards the tall figure in the distance.
Obviously, it was specially used to deal with Wellington.
Rody paused for a moment and narrowed his eyes to look at the surrounding buildings. After confirming a direction, he quickly rushed over. Behind him, the eight iron puppets crashed into a wooden shed of a stable. They did not slow down at all as they chased after Rody with their bodies covered in straw.
*****
At the same time, Akasha tried hard to push away the wooden board that was pressing down on her body. She endured the pain and looked around.
Just ten seconds ago, she had just caught up with Knight Wellington and conveyed Roddy's words. But she did not expect that halfway through her words, Knight Wellington, who had a calm face, suddenly grabbed her arm and threw her out!
Compared to Wellington, Akasha's body could only be described as "weak". This throw made Akasha feel dizzy. Her body retreated for seven or eight meters before rolling on the ground!
And before she could get up, the explosion of air made her body leave the ground. "Ka la", after smashing the door of the house behind her, she fell on the floor inside the house.
And in Akasha's field of vision, she saw Knight Wellington pull out his sword to the sky, firmly blocking the attack of a huge black shadow!
The impact of the full explosion of "Battle Aura" made the gargoyle unable to move an inch, but Wellington's feet also sank more than ten centimeters into the ground. He blocked a fatal blow, but he did not have any spare energy to fight back.
The Gargoyle retreated as soon as it came into contact with Wellington. As a flying unit, it had the absolute initiative and did not need to fight with Wellington on the ground. With a flap of its wings, it rushed into the darkening sky and disappeared from everyone's sight.
Wellington's eyes were gloomy as he took a step forward and jumped out of the two deep pits that were created by his feet. Then he turned his head to look at Akasha's direction and shouted in a deep voice, "How are you?"
He knew that Akasha was brought by Roddy, otherwise he would not have asked such a question.
But Akasha could not answer him at all. Her back had smashed the door, and she felt so painful that she could not even breathe. After pushing away the wooden boards that covered her body, the scene in front of Akasha's eyes was blurred. She could not even see where Wellington was. But when she heard his question, she still reached out her hand to respond. She wanted to say that she was still alive.
But Wellington did not have time to answer her. The attack of the second gargoyle had already arrived. If it was not for his good hearing, he would not have been able to dodge the sharp claws that attacked from behind!
"Hiss!"
The leather armor on his shoulder was torn open. Wellington frowned. Although he had never fought with an enemy from the air, he instinctively felt that it was not a good thing to stand in an open space, so he immediately retreated to the wall of the tavern.
And fifteen meters away, Akasha had already cast an "Intermediate Healing Spell" on herself. The pain quickly subsided, and her vision became clear. But the more it was like this, the more she understood what she had just avoided.
There was really an enemy, and it was a very powerful enemy.
Akasha stared blankly in front of her. She was not the only one who was knocked down by the "Battle Aura". Three or four innocent civilians were lying on the ground, the doors and windows of the tavern were completely broken, and screams were heard one after another …
And in this chaos, the first thought that flashed through her mind was the words that Roddy had said just now. "Find cover first, then assist in healing, understand?"
Assist in healing …
This sentence reminded her of the cynical ridicule from those people when she was in the "Viper Cross".
"Isn't she just a little stronger in magic? How did she get to such a high position?"
"She's just a little beautiful. It's much easier for a woman to get to a higher position than us."
"I heard that she saved a lot of poor people? That's really interesting. Does she really treat the church as a charity? Ignorant woman. "
…
Akasha was very simple. She had an attitude of going with the flow. But if there was one thing that she was willing to pursue to the extreme, it must be "magic."
And now, the only request that Roddy had for her was to use magic to "assist in healing."
Akasha's eyes slightly widened, as if she had suddenly understood something.
The fear of encountering a strong enemy was still there. Her body was still trembling slightly, but when she looked at the battlefield in front of her, Akasha realized that … she was not as "useless" as she had imagined.
At least she could help Roddy now!
The gargoyle attacked again, and at the same time, the puppet knight with the lance attacked from afar!
Wellington had no choice but to forcefully use his "Battle Aura" clone to block in front of him. But he did not have the confidence to completely block the double attack. The long sword slashed and the gargoyle was pushed back, but the clone in front of him could not block the attack of the puppet knight and was directly smashed by the lance!
The strength of the opponent was beyond Wellington's imagination. But at this time, his long sword was still raised above his head, and there was no time to dodge.
Just as the lance was about to hit his body, Wellington saw a golden light flash in front of him.
"Bang!"
In the muffled sound, he did not manage to dodge the lance's attack. But the strange thing was that this attack did not pierce through Wellington's body, but sent him flying!
