Astartes of the Bear School

Chapter 889 871. Step by step and ride on horse (3000)

Leave aside the anomalies observed by Archbishop Louis, Lan En 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.

Those deep 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 huge, heavy and strong body was unconsciously lifted up by the church knights underneath it.

Faced with an opponent of the same size as himself, using this strategy in the first attack made Lann wonder if these knights had not fought against opponents of the same size.

 They carried a large sword on their shoulders, but had no other weapons.

Even if they have been corrupted and distorted by the deep faith, the knights of the church will still enter the death arena without saying a word.

The sound of friction between the broad chain mail lining and the plate armor outer cover became more rapid, and the leading knight with the great sword, the armor parts on his body were clattering due to the rapid footsteps before engaging the enemy.

These church knights may be following the same combat philosophy as Lann: crushing targets with exploding heavy weapons.

This is a diagonal slash with a low target. The action is very standard, and can even be called standard to the point of rigidity.

 Now, these silent and tall knights are stepping out from under the giant's corpse.

If this hammer were placed in the hands of ordinary people, it would probably take all the strength just to lift it.

The church knight with the big sword was the first to approach. The big sword slashed downwards from the right shoulder to the left waist.

The broadsword is only fifty centimeters wide, and its overall length is basically the same as the height of the church knight's chin.

 Then he climbed up again and approached the demon hunter on top of the giant!

　　【turbid current·annihilation】Be pulled out from the giant's head.

The knight, who was like an iron tower, silently lifted up the giant limb that was pressing on him and walked out from below.

 The other type is the knight with the great sword.

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 as connected as the huge wound on the corpse's head.

 The knights of this world are accustomed to fighting in silence.

 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.

 But in the hands of the church knights, this is a one-handed war hammer that fits the hand.

 Like a tiger licking the bits of meat off the bones with its tongue.

Judging from their similar size to Lan En, they should be more than two meters long.

These church knights generally have two types of equipment.

The witcher just took a slight step back, then raised his right foot in front, 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.

 Evading will basically become a prelude to attack.

 While raising his legs forward, the [turbid current·mutilation] in his hand was also raised to the top of his head.

 Stomping the feet to enhance the power of the downward chop is the technical characteristic of [Wei Mingliu·One-Character Slash].

 It is suitable now!

 “Bang!”

First there was the astonishing sound of stomping feet!

 The solid stone ground has been stamped out by Lan En's feet, creating a spiderweb-like depression!

 Follow up with the sword blade!

　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　ification)

 The unique internal structure of the giant sword makes the collision sound of [turbid current·annihilation] uniquely identifiable.

However, the sound of the collision this time was unusually not even 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.

 Lann's sword is larger and stronger than that of the Church Knight.

The overall length of the cathedral knight's greatsword only reached their chin, but if Lan En's great sword wanted to stand upright with his hand on the hilt, Lan En's hand would have to be raised to his head.

Just now, 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 that he had just chopped down.

 Adjusted his position to the side.

　　facing Lan with his shoulder.

 And immediately used a shoulder collision, trying to close the distance with the witcher and distort his posture.

 From sword swing to shoulder collision, it is 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 the enemy and ourselves. If the shoulder collision is successful, it will be followed by another fatal slash!

But he obviously didn't expect that Lan En's 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 completely 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 with a shoulder collision, get out of the way of the terrifying and most lethal front blade of [Turbid Current·Destruction], and head towards the hilt, where the power is greatly reduced.

And at the end, when the bone-white blade of the giant sword struck the church knight's shoulder armor, the guy also made a stance similar to a lunge.

This gesture seemed to carry some kind of supernatural power, which once again weakened Lan En's slashing effect.

 That's why the clashing sound 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, which can trigger power through movement, greatly improving the stability of one's body posture in a short period of time.

 With a stable posture, the damage the enemy can cause will naturally be less.

 The next step is the linking move of the church knights after [Arrow].

 After the Church Knight suddenly lunged forward, the cat eyes 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.

That 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 currently didn’t know, 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 sent a response.

 His guys have arrived!

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 strange 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 even briefly caused tinnitus in the ears of all normal people in the hall.

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 him. He was familiar enough with his friend that he could even communicate spiritually.

Lann’s arm just grabbed back and naturally grabbed the Qilin’s pale mane.

The body of the New World Ancient Dragon started 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.

No matter what kind of supernatural power you have, if it can’t hit you, it just can’t hit you.

The advantage of cavalry over infantry lies here. Only those who can overcome it can be qualified to speak.

That Church Knight’s connecting moves are 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 complete circles in the horizontal direction!

That illusory white afterimage is just like a big windmill.

The sound of the whistling wind picked up by the big sword made Lan En feel 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 the Qilin, he has too many choices.

The hooves of the unicorn clicked in the hall. Lan En was still half standing on the ground as he pulled his mane away.

 In the blink of an eye, Lan En had already climbed onto his horse.

 And after the church knight swung his sword twice, the Kirin used its tough and powerful ancient dragon body to turn around and rush over in an instant!

With this set of extremely fast steering, even a monster with weak joints in the New World will have his ankles broken after just one trip, and it will take several days of rest to recover.

 But for an ancient dragon, especially a type of ancient dragon like Qilin that is very good at running, this is just a daily walk.

Before the church knight could react, Lan En was sitting on Qilin's back, with the sword on his back already resting on his shoulder armor.

"it's a pity"

 Lan En smacked his lips.

“If it were normal times, I would definitely argue with you.”

The cathedral knight with the great sword just raised his iron bucket-like helmet amidst the slight collision of armor, and 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.

 And the great sword of the Church Knight, who had shown outstanding performance 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 cut off half of his body!

 Blood spurted upward from the gap like a fountain.
