my armed maid

Chapter 139 Chapter 136: Dark and red, the remaining light

When night falls, it's the time when most people relax their vigilance and prepare to rest.

This is also true for the troops in Alto City. Even the army needs to recuperate and make meals around the stove after a day of hard work.

Of course, there is a clear division of labor in the army. There are sentries patrolling and guarding the watchtower and outside the camp at all times, always alert for any emergencies.

It's just that... they may be able to guard against surprise attacks by land forces, but they cannot guard against precise snipers from one kilometer away.

One is invisible in the sky, and the other is hiding in the woods. Nolen and Yuna are surrounding the Alto City Pioneer Army's camp.

Using the precise coordinates provided by the drone, the two locked onto the two sixth-level transcendent beings in the main tent of the camp, and simultaneously pulled the triggers on their respective targets.

The sixth-level transcendent who can enter the main tent must be a high-value target in the army after the seventh-level captain. This is why he targeted them in the first round of sniping.

"Soon-"

"Soon-"

"Chirp—"

High in the sky, Norento's arm holding the sniper cannon did not tremble at all. He fine-tuned the sight and steadily moved the crosshair to his next target.

After quietly leaving the seclusion, they no longer concealed their traces, but instead shouted with great fanfare, beat drums and galloped their horses towards the Alto City camp, and at the same time fired a hail of arrows at the camp.

It's a pity that they thought they were under the heavy protection of the army, and they still stood there and talked loudly before they died.

A distress signal with a sharp sound was slowly raised, and then with each sixth-level transcendent in the army as the team leader, the vanguard force quickly broke into pieces and scattered into several forces.

However, after that flash of light, the night sky fell into darkness again, as quiet as if the beam of light that had just been shot from the sky was just his own illusion.

"Confirm that the target has lost vital signs, next."

The dazzling pure white beam of light looked so dazzling in the night. The sentries patrolling outside the camp only felt their eyes flicker as two destructive beams hit the main tent in the camp.

"Soon-"

Time passed by second by second, beads of sweat dropped from Keen's forehead, and his hand that was fully drawn on the bow trembled slightly.

In fact, at this distance, it is not easy to hit a sixth-level transcendent in motion.

In the twenty years he has been in the army, he has never fought such a frustrating battle.

"kill!"

Just a few days ago, his knight level had successfully broken through to level two, and he had been exercising consistently during this period.

Be it tents, iron frames, or wooden boxes and earthen walls, the main materials used by these troops when stationed in the camp can only be used as a bunker to block the line of sight. Of course, they cannot block the sniper attack of the beam cannon.

"Enemy attack, enemy attack!"

Obviously the other party can easily kill his subordinates, but he can't even see the other party?

In a traditional war, this kind of response can be called the standard answer, but it is a pity that Keane's decision played into Nolen's hands.

He quickly made this safe decision and shouted while avoiding the rain of arrows:

"As long as we hold on for ten more minutes, our large troops will come to support..."

Therefore, the top priority is not to face the battle rashly, but to call for support from the rear troops while holding on to the camp! ——

Seeing this tragic situation, the morale of Alto City's elite vanguard force collapsed quickly.

Two of his confidants died suddenly on the spot in front of his eyes. Even captain Keane, who was experienced in combat, could not help but feel his scalp numb, and a strong fear rushed into his heart.

Keen bent his bow and nocked an arrow, looking towards the sky in the direction of the beam, hoping to find out the murderer of his men.

Just when everyone's attention was attracted by the beam of light falling from the sky, another beam of light struck from the woods on the side.

How did the enemy discover him when he didn't even show his head?
"The beam was shot again. Where did he attack from?"

This dazzling beam of light that penetrated the night was the signal for Linfeng City's scout troops to attack.

"Ahh...!"

Keen looked around. In his haste, he couldn't see how many Linfeng troops were charging in the night.

The next moment, the two fixed targets were mercilessly swallowed up by the pure white beam cannon, and melted into ashes in the violent torrent of light elements.

Hiding in the back of a large tent, a high-level transcendent was boosting the morale of his team. Suddenly, a destructive beam penetrated the tent and accurately pierced his chest.

Seeing the team leader's charred body falling on his back, the remaining team members stood helpless, their expressions full of horror and disbelief.

Before the battle really started, our side lost several generals in an inexplicable way.

Keen's powerful voice spread throughout the camp. The vanguard troops here were also the elite of Alto City. De Ming quickly adjusted from the panic and set up a defensive formation in time.

But if they stay still behind the bunker where they think they are safe, they will naturally become fixed targets waiting to be killed.

Another sixth-level knight was caught off guard and hit from behind by the destruction beam, screaming and dying on the spot.

With his current physical fitness, it is no longer a problem to control heavy alchemical weapons.

But in the first round of surprise attacks, two generals were killed, so the enemy must have been well prepared.

They set up defenses in various major areas of the camp, preparing to rely on the bunkers built during the day to resist the upcoming enemy attack.

He hurriedly ran out of the tent, and just as he warned everyone in the camp, he heard a burst of charging horns coming from the Linfeng Pass, followed by a round of arrows falling from the sky.

"All troops, find bunkers and conduct positional warfare!
"Send out a distress signal and hold this place until reinforcements arrive!"

On the other hand, Linfeng City's scout team surged in momentum under the thundering gongs, drums and shouts, and rode towards the camp with a rainbow of momentum.

Under the firepower of two beam sniper cannons, while the captains of the defenders died suddenly one after another, and the defenders were leaderless——

The scout team encountered no decent resistance all the way. Many teams that lost their captains collapsed immediately, and their screams only contributed to the panic among other people in the team.

"Retreat, Lord Keen, we can't defend this place anymore!"

The shouts of Linfeng City's army were getting closer and closer, and everyone in Keen's personal guards was also frightened and almost wanted to flee first.

Until now, they don't even know how many combat forces Linfeng City has sent to attack them. They only know that their own people are dying one after another. This feeling is the most uncomfortable.

The threat of sniper artillery loomed on his back. Under the overwhelming defeat, Keen finally made up his mind and shouted while running to the rear:
"Drich, you lead the seventh team to cut off the rear, and everyone else will retreat with me. We must assemble with the main force immediately!"

"As ordered!"

Not far away, a sixth-level knight showed a tragic look. After two rounds of sniping, he was one of the few remaining vanguard generals who had not been targeted.

Under such a situation, he understood that cutting off his queen would mean death, but if he disobeyed orders and ran away, he would still be punished by military law.

In this case, it's up to me to buy time for everyone to retreat! ——

At this moment, the night sky became bright again. After a short period of cooling down of the magic circle, Nolen fired this shot at him in the air. However, even if the sniper could not be seen, after two rounds of sniping, Derich had roughly memorized the position of the aerial sniper.

The beam cannon will definitely be fired from the west!
Soon enough, just before the destructive beam hit his face, Derich turned sideways in time and protected his body with an arm shield.

The pure white beam did not hit directly, but brushed against the arm shield, washing its surface into a pitch-black burnt color.

Derich staggered two steps back. Before he could get scared, he suddenly sensed violent elemental fluctuations coming from behind him.

Ah, speaking of which, there are two enemy snipers...

The thought flashed through his mind, and his body was hit by the second beam cannon, killing him on the spot.

"Drich!" Keane's eyes were red as he watched another subordinate die in battle.

However, although he could not save his subordinates, with the keen intuition and flexibility of the seventh-level knight, Linfeng City's snipers also had nothing to do with him.

The other party should also know this, otherwise they would target him from the beginning.

Moreover, after casting so many high-level spells in a short period of time, he guessed that the other party's magic power must be almost exhausted.

"I want to live, and then I will definitely avenge you!"

Keen secretly swore, and at the same time ran towards the back without stopping.

"The remaining magic power of the flying component is only enough to activate the high-level magic circle once." On this side, Yunahui reported.

"This is your last chance. Do you want to focus on him?"

"No, it's too far. If the target is a seventh-level knight, the success rate of sniping is not high."

Nolen looked at Keane who was running wildly through the scope of the beam sniper cannon, "If it's a close combat, are you sure you can kill him?"

"If he doesn't have a particularly powerful treasure, he can do it." Yuna replied rigorously.

"The Valkyrie Avalanche can make my speed exceed the seventh level. Even if I can't kill him, I am sure I can escape unscathed."

According to Ryan, the foundation of Alto City is not very deep, and the possibility of equipping seventh-level knights with powerful treasures is very low.

"Okay." Nolen thought for a while and said, "I will help the scout team clean up the remaining enemies, and I will leave him to you."

"receive."

Yuna pulled off the magic cable connecting the beam sniper cannon to her backpack, threw the sniper cannon to the ground, and then raised the auxiliary wings.

With the accelerating array of the flying components and protective boots fully activated, she sprang out of the woods, like a low-flying falcon speeding towards its prey.

"White Raven!?"

Sensing the whistling sound behind him, Keen looked back with a look of horror on his face, "Quickly stop her!"

There is no doubt that the White Raven is one of the most special and powerful combat forces in Linfeng City. Now that she has taken action in person, he has already retreated in his heart before the war even started.

Linfeng City's elusive sniper attack tonight has frightened him. He doesn't want to fight anyone now until he knows the details of his opponent.

At this time, there were thirty or forty members of the Guards following Keen in retreat. Upon hearing Keen's order, the Guards used bows and arrows and shot spells in an attempt to intercept the White Raven.

Yuna was unmoved, her forward momentum continued unabated, and she used the remaining magic power of the flying component to activate the sixth-level defense spell "Round and Soft Shield" carried on her backpack.

"Wow--"

An aqua-blue spherical barrier spread out around her, deflecting all flying props and neutralizing all incoming attacking spells.

With the cover of Yuanrou Shield, the next moment, Yuna had flown in front of the guards.

"Flight components, discard."

She landed with her feet on the ground, and at the same time, with a thought, she untied all the fixing mechanisms of the flying components behind her.

The bloated and heavy flying components detached from her back, and Yuna felt that her body instantly became extremely light.

"Liberation potion, injection."

There was a slight pain in her left shoulder, and the syringe hidden in the shoulder armor began to inject her with a liberation potion.

"咚咚-"

The violent medicine quickly took effect in the blood, and a flash of scarlet blood quickly appeared in the depths of Yuna's eyes.

"Then comes the magic burning."

She used her combat skills, and the magic power that was already boiling due to the liberation potion in her body became even more unstable at this moment.

Anyone who is an extraordinary person can sense it. She is now like a furnace that is about to explode. The pure and violent magic power is rampant in her body, exuding a terrifying aura that even seventh-level extraordinary people will retreat from.

When everything was ready, Yuna exhaled a deep breath of hot white breath.

She stepped forward, holding the scabbard at her waist with her left hand, and the hilt of the Sun Knight Sword with her right hand. Her eyes were dazzlingly red at this moment!
""The First Secret Sword: Shadow Chaser"——"

She drew her sword out of the dissipated Yuanrou Shield, and her figure disappeared in front of the guards, and also disappeared into the dark night.

"What……"

Everyone was shocked, the figure of White Raven suddenly disappeared! ?
Only the pair of snow-white angel wings fell to the ground, and then——

A "boom" sound exploded at the spot where the white raven disappeared, and everyone's bodies froze in place at this moment.

Yuna passed by everyone, and her scarlet blood pupils were like an elongated red line, still lingering on everyone's retinas.

There was only a red remaining light in the dark night - this was the last scene they saw before their lives.

The next moment, Yuna had flashed a hundred meters behind them.

The heads of all the Guards soared into the sky, and dozens of headless corpses stood there blankly, like fountains of blood, dyeing the night tonight even heavier and deeper.

After hitting the dummy countless times on the training ground and practicing the Secret Speed ​​Sword Technique for a month, she handed over her answer sheet to the enemy.

"The First Secret Sword: Chasing Shadows": Use the sword at a speed that even the shadows cannot catch up with, crushing all enemies in front of you with absolute speed.

In fact, the target of her combat skills was Keen, who was a hundred meters away.

And these thirty or forty people were just dust that she dusted off along the way. She kept moving forward without slowing down, and the sword of the Sun Knight in her hand stabbed Keen's neck.

There was no time to feel sad about the annihilation of the Guards. Keen stood on his head with every hair on his body, roared and drew his sword to fight back.

Because he knew that if he couldn't take the sword.

I will die here too.
