Planeswalker My Plane War

Chapter 38 The Battle of Huaiyi 4
It was easy to tell that he wanted to go to another camp, the one that Zhang Cheng had just swept up.

Moreover, he actually came over here.

This is not a coincidence, but because the ground here is dry and hard, which is suitable for walking.Therefore, whether it is humans or lizard people, in the absence of other external factors, they will naturally tend to such road conditions.

Even if the lizardman archmage is a spellcaster, he can't hang the spells such as "detect invisibility" on his body.So the few lizardmen walked very easily, and they didn't see Zhang Cheng standing in front of them at all.

What should I do?Several thoughts jumped in my mind.

The Lizardman Archmage walked in the middle, followed by two guys who were obviously guards.These two were all wearing armor, and their bodies were a whole circle bigger than ordinary lizardmen, not much different from Zhang Cheng's body.

One against three, and the other side is the best combination of caster and fighter.Not to mention the two guards, Zhang Chengcheng estimated that he could not beat the lizardman archmage alone.At least they can't fight head-to-head now.

If given a choice, Zhang Cheng hopes to avoid this powerful enemy.But now the choice is not up to him.Because the other party is coming this way.

Moreover, if you can kill this lizardman archmage, you will top dozens of lizardman miscellaneous soldiers outside.

Zhang Cheng is not without the odds, because he has a huge advantage: sneak attack.

If you attack the melee profession, the advantage is not obvious. In the end, it depends on the level and equipment.But the legal profession is completely different, because the legal profession has a huge flaw: less blood and crisp skin.

Fighting against fighting, fighting against thieves, and fighting against law, this is usually the mutual growth and mutual restraint relationship between various occupations in fantasy games.Although not absolute, but probably so.The most important reason why the legal system will be suppressed by thieves is that the legal system occupation is easy to kill, and it is also easy to be killed.The crispy skin makes them vulnerable in the event of a surprise attack.

That's why Zhang Cheng knew that part-time jobs would greatly drag down his grades, so he still chose the part-time jobs of war/law after a comprehensive consideration.In the final analysis, it is to avoid the weaknesses of the legal system.This is not a game, there is no disc loading.

He doesn't remember how much HP the Lizardman Archmage has, but he remembers that when facing the Lizardman Archmage in the game, if he chooses the thief profession, a sneak attack on the backstab can kill him in seconds.It is the kind of real spike, the lizardman archmage has no chance to resist, and he died before he could even use a spell.If he remembered correctly, it seems that his thieves didn't have any particularly awesome equipment at the time.It should be just a normal weapon.After all, he was there to clear customs, not to collect equipment.That is to say, the situation of the Lizardman Archmage is the same as that of other legal professions, and it is also a crispy skin.

In the game, in addition to the thief profession (after all, they rely on sneak attacks), other occupations can also carry out sneak attacks.Especially in battle, as long as you attack for the first time in a stealth state, it will be regarded as a sneak attack.

Zhang Cheng clenched the Hanguang sword in his hand.This sword is a sharp blade that is not used in the game.Although reality is not a game, you can't accurately describe the lethality of this magic weapon, but Zhang Cheng feels that if this thing is placed in the game, it is either +4 or +3. A proper magic weapon, it is worth your while to get it. The kind that completes a series of difficult tasks.

The group of Lizardman Archmage began to approach Zhang Cheng's position.They are very slow.

Zhang Cheng's eyes stayed on the neck of the lizardman archmage.

Although they are very different creatures from humans, they still have the same basic structure.Not to mention the lizard people, even if it is a lizard, the neck, head and other organs are absolutely fatal.

The sword with light is very sharp.This is a magical world after all, so this completely unscientific sword could be made in the Bronze Age.This sword can pierce leather with a light blade, and with a little force, it can directly penetrate the hard bones of creatures, and even the so-called strongest skull can be easily penetrated with one blow (the previous ghouls proved this a little).On Earth, even high-tech alloys are not necessarily so powerful.

Don't look at Zhang Cheng's normal strength is only 9, as a warrior he is definitely a waste of waste, but because of this sword, he has never suffered a loss in hand-to-hand combat so far.

The lizard people are getting closer.They were completely unaware of Zhang Cheng's existence, chatting casually as they walked.

"... a lot smoother than expected..."

"The upper side is quite happy, my lord, your promotion is just around the corner..."

"Although I say so, but after all, there is still one last step, so don't let up..."

"I heard that it has aroused the vigilance of human beings... It is said that the lords of the nearby Kunwu City have intentionally turned against us. Those dogs have the intention of forming an alliance with us..."

"Chuan Rong are all idiots, just let them fight humans to the death, we can just watch the show. Intervening in this war is not good for us. And humans don't have to worry, even if humans want to be unfavorable to us, it will take a while. Genius, by then our work will have been completed..."

Although there was no wind, there was a sudden rustling sound in the distance, and it seemed that something was rubbing the weeds on the ground.

The lizardman archmage stopped and turned his gaze to somewhere ahead.As lizardmen, they naturally have a certain degree of dark vision, so they can clearly see that there is nothing there.

Very peaceful swamp.

"Sir, what's wrong with you?" the guard beside him asked.

"Over there... I heard some strange noises." The Lizardman Archmage replied.He was a little puzzled, "I seem to have heard something..."

"Impossible," explained the first guard. "In the afternoon, the patrol team also reported that everything was normal. There are so many sentries here, absolutely no problem."

There are no other enemies nearby except humans. Even if those humans want to sneak attack on them, humans without dark vision will definitely not want to have a night battle with lizardmen with certain dark vision.It's a shame to not see anything.

It can be said that without careful reconnaissance and exploration, and without understanding the terrain of the swamp, even those human nobles, those powerful mages or priests cannot rush into the swamp area.

They continued on, walking crookedly along the slightly dry ground of the swamp.The swamp ground is mostly muddy, and the muddy ground is hard to bear and slips easily.This is the same for both humans and lizardmen, so it is natural to choose dry places that are easy to settle in.

On the surface, it looks like the swamp is easily accessible, and you can go wherever you want, but in fact, if you want to walk quickly and effortlessly, you will naturally choose a very limited route.

Then, everything happened naturally.The raid happened in an instant, and without any preparation for being caught off guard, a hand holding a sword suddenly appeared from the empty place.

The ferocious blow suddenly erupted like this, and a sword sealed the throat.

The long sword slid across his neck, tore through the scaly skin, cut open the blood vessels and trachea, and severed the cervical vertebrae, leaving only a little thin skin on the back of the neck attached.

The two guards have not recovered from this sudden change - this is the weakness of intelligent creatures. In the event of a sudden accident, it will be a beat later than the pure instinct of the beast.Just one beat later, the long sword attacked them again.At this moment, I succeeded in re-inflicting one of them.This sword cut a huge hole in the flank, and all the internal organs were flowing out along the wound, leaving his entire body lying in a pool of blood dying and twitching.

This is also a kind of homeopathic slash, which can attack another enemy while knocking down one enemy.

This is where the advantage of raiding comes in.Both enemies are down in one turn, and the battle becomes one-on-one.Zhang Cheng rushed up, ignoring the opponent's spear, and plunged straight into the enemy's arms.This time it was a real head-to-head battle, with the spear slashing a mark on the magic armor, but it was eventually slid away.And the long sword pierced through the body at a very close distance, the long sword stabbed into the chest cavity of the last lizardman, and stabbed out from the back.

The whole battle went up and down, and it took two or three seconds from start to finish.But these two or three seconds decide everything.

Won!Zhang Cheng instinctively turned his sword on the corpse of the last enemy to widen the wound, but his heart was filled with ecstasy.Everything went so smoothly that he felt a little weird himself.It was actually a big gamble, but he won.

How come these three lizardmen have hundreds of experience points?In fact, the most important thing is not experience points, but killing this dangerous lizardman spellcaster.You know, if he really does it head on, Zhang Cheng won't even say he won, and he doesn't even have the confidence to escape.To be honest, to be able to make such a surprise attack is not so much because he is powerful, but because he is very lucky.

He kicked away the dying body of the last enemy, trying to draw back the longsword.This world is still primitive and wild. Although metal smelting has been around for a long time, there are still areas where the development of weapons is not perfect.There is no problem in normal use of a long sword, such as slashing and cutting, but if it is pierced straight into the body, the viscosity and tension of the blood will generate negative pressure on the contact surface of the sword, making it difficult to pull the sword out.This is no exception even for a divine weapon like the Hanguang Baojian.Magic can only enhance its hardness, toughness and sharpness, but it cannot solve problems such as tension and negative pressure.

There is no way, although there is magic, it is still a wild age after all.Drawing a sword is actually quite troublesome and laborious.

Then Zhang Cheng heard a murmur-like voice behind him.

This was not the dying moan of another lizardman guard, because the lizardman was lying on Zhang Cheng's side, out of the corner of his eye.The lizardman didn't make a sound, but twitched dying in silence.Now there is no one behind Zhang Cheng.

No one, just the corpse of the Lizardman Archmage.It is impossible that the Lizardman Archmage has a particularly strong vitality, and even if he received a fatal blow, he did not die immediately.Because the lizardman archmage had his throat cut by his sword, let alone the vocal cords, the trachea and blood vessels in the entire neck were cut off together with the spine, so what could he use to make a sound?
So at the moment when he heard the sound, Zhang Cheng clearly felt that there was a bristle worm crawling along the spine on the entire back.

This is a savage and primitive world, and he is fighting a life-and-death battle.

Zhang Cheng instantly made a dodging action, and at the same time drew his sword and turned back.

The end result is both lucky and unfortunate.Fortunately, he was not attacked in the process, unfortunately, things seem to be worse than being sneaked by a hidden enemy.

It was none other than the lizardman archmage who was almost decapitated by a sword.

The creature's head had slipped from its neck, held only by a thin layer of skin, but he was still standing there.

It's hard to explain what's going on.Even if this is a magical world, even if this world is full of gods and demons, there are so many legends as dogs, and any little-known local lord is a descendant of gods, this kind of thing is too outrageous.

Not to mention living creatures, even undead creatures, cut off their heads and hang them.

If the lizardman archmage whose throat was blocked by a sword was just a clone, or a puppet, or something like that, Zhang Cheng's attack was just a mistake on the sidecar, which was understandable.After all, in the magical world, all kinds of bizarre things are not surprising.But that's not the case at all.

This Lizardman Archmage is an entity, and the attack just now was indeed a hit.Because the body of the Lizardman Archmage who should have lost his life stood there so stubbornly, and the blood was still gushing out from the wound.

It's not an ordinary amount of bleeding, but the kind that can make you understand that you will die, and you can't fake it at all.The entire body of the Lizardman Archmage, including the distinctive robe on his body, has been dyed red by the blood gushing from his neck.In fact, more than his body, the surrounding land was sprayed with blood.

But this thing is actually not dead.

Looking closely, it can be seen that its head is held by the last trace of flesh on its neck, hanging at the height of its belly.From this angle, Zhang Cheng couldn't see the other party's expression, but he could clearly tell that the voice just came from its mouth.

This does not require special skills or experience, because even at this moment, in Zhang Cheng's eyes, the Lizardman Archmage, specifically the head of the Lizardman Archmage, is still making sounds.

No, it's not an ordinary voice, but... a spell?The lizardman archmage wasn't making a moan of dying just now, but was chanting some kind of spell or prayer.

"The great snake..." Zhang Cheng heard a slight but clear voice from the mouth of the supposedly dead creature. "Avenge your servant!"
