When the heavy sword and the chain hammer descended, time seemed to slow down.
In this desperate situation, Roddy had no room to dodge, so he did not retreat. Instead, he took a step forward and rushed towards the weapon!
At the same time, he activated the "Turtle Shell Protection" skill.
A few days ago, Roddy had borrowed the "Snake King Sakya" to use this skill, but he did not feel any discomfort. But the moment he activated the "Turtle Shell Protection", Roddy felt as if his brain had been stirred. The severe headache made him blacked out, and he almost cried out in pain.
This pain was similar to when he had just "tamed" the snapping turtle. It appeared in an instant and dissipated quickly. What replaced it was an inexplicable power that instantly spread throughout his body.
The next moment, the puppet's heavy sword slashed onto the short sword that Roddy had raised to block. With a "keng", the sword was broken, and the heavy sword smashed onto Roddy's left shoulder!
The huge chain hammer from the left also attacked. Roddy could not dodge and could only raise his left arm.
His arm was like a bean sprout compared to the metal hammer. Akasha, who was running, even covered her mouth, as if she could already see the scene of Roddy being smashed into meat paste.
But after two muffled sounds, Akasha found that Roddy was still standing there, and he did not retreat a single step!
The heavy sword smashed onto Roddy's shoulder, and with a "ka" sound, it flew up high. And after the chain hammer hit Roddy's arm, it actually bounced back with a "peng" sound.
Roddy's shoulder and arm were splattered with blood, but the wound was only at the level of a "flesh wound". Even the bones were not broken!
Not only that, Roddy took the opportunity to step forward, arrived at the puppet's side, and directly twisted his body, immediately using the "Reverse Strike" skill.
"Ka!"
A wave of power instantly added to the broken sword in Roddy's hand, and the puppet that could not dodge in time had its throat cut by two thirds!
However, Roddy's eyes turned cold. He knew very well that as long as the opponent's head was not chopped off, it would never stop attacking.
The other puppet's chain hammer came at him again. The three seconds of "Turtle Shell Defense" was still in effect. Roddy gritted his teeth and gave up on dodging, choosing to fight it head-on!
"Bang!"
The chain hammer was ineffective again. It was as if it had hit steel instead of flesh.
However, Roddy's expression did not look good either. Seeing that the three seconds were about to end, he had already prepared "Sprint" and "Leap" to dodge and escape. However, he suddenly heard the clear sound of horse hooves and a loud shout, causing his heart to shake.
Sodelor had arrived.
After the scouts killed the two puppet guards, Sodelor immediately picked up his weapon and rode his horse to follow them. When he saw that Rody was in trouble, Sodelor single-handedly rushed into the street and arrived just in time to help Rody out of his predicament.
Roddy did not shout. He just glanced at Sodelor, who was running at high speed, and waved the broken sword in his hand, forcing a puppet to retreat. Then he activated "Leap" and barely dodged the third attack of the chain hammer.
Just as the bodies of the two puppets stiffened, Sodelor arrived swiftly and fiercely swung his sword. The puppet whose neck was already severed immediately had its head separated from its body with a crack, and its metal head flew out along with the dissipating Necromancy Qi!
The remaining puppet was stunned for a moment, then immediately chose to continue attacking Roddy. But at this time, because of Roddy's delay, Akasha had already wisely run far away, so he had no more worries and immediately activated "Sprint" to retreat.
For a moment, the remaining puppet could only choose to chase. Roddy ran towards Sodelor, who had turned his horse around. When he saw Sodelor move again, he twisted his body and threw the broken sword at him!
The puppet instinctively blocked, and his movements revealed a flaw. Sodelor immediately seized the opportunity. His body suddenly flashed with a faint light, and with a loud shout, he decisively cut off the puppet's head!
Obviously, this month's training with Wellington had not been in vain. A horizontal slash combined with "Battle Aura" ended the battle.
Two puppets were beheaded. At the same time, the rumbling sound of horse hooves could be heard from the next street. Six iron puppets that could not be considered as puppets were instantly drowned by the "Flood of Steel". The cavalry used the powerful impact to directly destroy the puppets that could not resist in time … Facing elite cavalry, there was no suspense in this battle.
When Sodelor caught up with the scouts, the street was only left with a pile of scrap metal with missing arms and legs.
Of course, Roddy did not stay idle. He used a bandage to bandage his arm while calling for Akasha to stop. At the same time, he brought her to the edge of the battlefield to treat the wounded.
The six puppets were not weak, but their stubborn resistance still caused three scouts to fall off their horses. This kind of "falling off" in the middle of a charge was extremely serious. If one was unlucky, it was normal to die immediately. Fortunately, these three scouts did not directly die. Under Akasha's timely "Beginner Recovery", their lives were saved.
"Beginner Recovery" was a HOT (continuous healing) type spell. Its consumption was extremely low, so Akasha could use it after recovering a little of her mana. She was really useful. Roddy secretly rejoiced in his heart that it was really the right choice to bring her all the way here …
When he saw that none of the scouts died and all the puppets were destroyed, Roddy finally let out a deep breath and sat directly on the ground …
The gargoyle whose wings were blown off by him was still struggling. Wellington walked over with his long sword, raised his fist and smashed the gargoyle to the ground. Then, he stepped on the gargoyle's back and used the long sword to "smash" the gargoyle's head off.
Wellington remained silent, but it was obvious that he was venting his anger.
The chaos in Paer Town finally ended. The town that was lively just now suddenly became quiet. Most of the residents did not know what had happened. They only heard the continuous crashing and exploding sounds. They wanted to come out to take a look, but because of the scouts' charge, they were so scared that they did not dare to open the door.
Roddy sat on the ground and panted heavily. Although he had recovered his HP through leveling up, the battle with the two puppets really made him suffer. Fortunately, Akasha also used "Beginner Recovery" on him after she recovered some mana. Otherwise, this kind of pain would really be unbearable.
Sodelor did not immediately come over. He led a team of scouts to patrol around the town and continued to look for possible enemies.
Wellington threw the long sword to the side with a "clang". He held a roll of linen bandage in his hand and silently bandaged the area between his thumb and forefinger. The bodies of the eight iron puppets were too hard, and the recoil was a little too much for this "Ghost Knight".
"The gargoyle brazenly attacked us. The undead have shed all pretense of cordiality."
Wellington sat next to Roddy, tidied up his clothes that were full of scars and mud, and tightened the bandage. His tone seemed to be as calm as before. "What do you think?"
"This is not Magda's style. This is the doing of a necromancer." Roddy frowned, his eyes unconsciously staring at the iron puppets that had become scrap iron in front of him. "That letter said that Ansadin will only come in December. If he came to Gigg Town earlier, it would definitely be Magda who came to take revenge. But — iron puppets … Ansadin …"
Rody, who was muttering to himself, suddenly froze. His mind suddenly recalled a piece of information that he had almost forgotten. From the first time he saw the name 'Anzadin', he felt that it was familiar. At that moment, he realized that it was not that Anzadin did not have any fame, but rather, his fame was left to that famous' nickname '...
Tycoon An.
"Ansadin" was a western-style name, but Chinese players liked to give nicknames in their own way. And the reason why Ansadin was called "Tycoon An" was because every time this necromancer fought, he would bring a whole team of "luxurious" puppets!
There was a huge difference between a puppet that was summoned with scrap iron and a puppet that was summoned with "magic weapons". Ansadin's puppets, without exception, were all summoned with various kinds of precious materials. In other words, they were "puppets that were created by burning money". Therefore, Ansadin was given the nickname "Tycoon An". Since his first appearance in 594, he had been known by people. He had participated in many battles and had amazing achievements. He even faced the war between the undead and humans.
But because of this, people almost forgot his real name.
"It's actually him …"
Roddy's brows furrowed deeper. Ansadin was in the "hawk faction" of the undead. He had always been at odds with those "evil" elders. And the one who attacked him was him and not Magda. This meant that there must be a problem …
"If Magda regains his strength, he will definitely come here personally to take revenge."
Rody said this. This was the judgment he was most confident in at the moment.
Wellington didn't say anything. It was obvious that the "Blighted One" had left a deep impression on him. It was definitely not a good person, and no one wanted to meet it a second time.
Roddy closed his eyes and rubbed his cheeks. He thought hard for a moment and said in a low voice: "Now that we haven't seen Magda but met Ansadin's puppets, I'm afraid we only have two choices. Either we take advantage of the fact that Magda hasn't regained his strength and rush over to fight. Or … we can only prepare here and wait for them to come to us."
Sighing, Roddy was also a little uncertain. He had just completed his class advancement mission. His advanced level was only level 2, and his basic level was level 11.
But what about the enemies?
"Tycoon An", who could use a puppet to kill a company of infantry, and "Blighted One" Magda who had regained his strength!
His only chance was in front of him … If he couldn't grasp it, facing the revenge of these two people, no matter how many lives Roddy had, it wouldn't be enough for him to die.
The conflict between him and the undead had reached this point, and there was no way to stop it. There was no room for a buffer.
"Angmar gave you the authority to command me, so I will listen to you."
Wellington slowly exhaled, and then said in a low voice: "But you definitely won't wait here."
Roddy smiled bitterly. Wellington's words were naturally what he was thinking. He never liked to be in a passive position. Just like when he faced the Gargoyle, he would also take the initiative to attack. The only thing Roddy could do was to rush forward and end everything before Magda regained his strength!
"Rest for six hours, we will leave at midnight."
Without saying anything more, Roddy endured the pain and stood up. He said to Ruger and Carter who were on standby: "Everyone, get ready. Our target is Kiger Town. We must arrive before sunrise tomorrow!"
"Yes!"
The two captains replied loudly and in unison. After saluting, the scouts turned their horses around and left. They remained silent.
"You have a plan?"
Wellington knew Roddy's fighting style and knew that this guy would never fight a battle without preparation. But this time, Roddy didn't give a definite answer. He only reached out to wipe the blood stains on his arm, lowered his eyes and said lightly:
