On the Seven Towers

Garriott's other mid-level and low-level warriors were surrounded by Chinese melee warriors.

The platoon leaders of the three melee platoons all have intermediate strength, and each melee squad under them is divided into two combat groups. Each combat team consists of five people, consisting of two sword and shield bearers and three spear bearers. At least one of the five has reached a low-level level. Generally, when dealing with stronger infantry warriors, they use sword and shield hands to resist the opponent's attack and suppress the opponent's range of activities, and then the spearmen in the back row will wait for opportunities to attack the enemy. On the contrary, when dealing with cavalry, the spearmen would line up to stop the enemy, and the sword and shield men would kill the fallen enemy.

When encountering mid-level masters like Black Guard, a platoon leader, deputy platoon leader or even political commissar will take the lead in fighting, with one or two tactical teams supporting them.

In this way, the remaining dozen or so warriors under Garriott, including the mid-level black guards, were suppressed by them on the battlefield.

As a result, several anxious small battlefields formed in this battle.

But on almost every battlefield, Garriott's men were at a disadvantage.

The first to collapse were the ordinary cavalrymen who were abandoned behind. They are possessed by slow magic and are in a dilemma amidst the hail of bullets. As their companions were shot and fell one by one, they were completely broken up, and the remaining cavalrymen scrambled to escape backwards. But they ran into the Chinese cavalry who were outflanking them from the outside. In the previous battle, these cavalry had stood still and waited for opportunities. It was not until the time of pursuit came that they were sent out by Wang Jiyuan. Their speed was much faster than the slowed enemy, and they were divided into teams of five to pursue the lone enemy. After catching up with the enemy, they did not get close, and only shot with lances twenty or thirty meters away from them.

These cavalrymen also shouted slogans: Kneel down and not kill, and treat prisoners preferentially.

Most of the fleeing enemies were shot dead on the way, and some of the more clever ones saw that they were about to be overtaken, so they dismounted and knelt down to surrender. Soon, all the remaining enemies were caught in the large nets spread by the cavalry.

Then came Sacheri. Although the Chinese mages on the opposite side were only mid-level at best, when they cast spells together, they exploded with power comparable to high-level ones. The leader of this mage class is the mid-level mage Qiao Jie. He has graduated from the advanced theoretical training class of the magic school. The magic theory studied in this class combines the true teachings of the Tower of Source and the Chinese's pioneering research on magic. His understanding of the nature of magic far exceeds that of mages of this era. Therefore, whether he is invoking magic or performing magic, his efficiency is 20% higher than that of Sacheri opposite him.

Although his power comes from the supply of other mages, he is more comfortable in using it. Gradually, Sacheri felt that he could no longer hold on. His shield not only had to resist the attacks of Qiao Jie and the others, but also needed to withstand the bullets constantly fired at him, so it became thinner little by little. Sacheri ignored Garriott and Miguel who were still fighting and activated the teleportation ring on his hand. As long as the magic was activated, he could instantly return to Suero City.

At the moment when the magic was activated, the shield outside him was finally weakened to the limit, and two snipers who had been prepared fired four shield-breaking bullets at him. Just when the teleportation light reached his neck, four bullets shot into his head and blew his skull away. He was still teleported out, but a pool of red and white was left under him.

The third battle to decide the winner is the battle between Roger and Miguel. The two people who are originally similar in strength may take more time to decide the winner. But after Xiao Mu put out the fire, he joined the battle. She continued to attack Miguel with various negative magics. Miguel, who was plagued by various weaknesses and curses, was greatly reduced in strength and was suddenly unable to support Roger.

Miguel and Roger's swords crossed each other, and he, who was weak in strength, was shocked and took four or five steps back. "Damn it, we are both members of the Empire. Have you forgotten the glory of the Empire? Can't you fight with me?" An honest duel!"

Roger said: "I am no longer an imperial man, now I am a Chinese. The Chinese know when to do what, and will not fight with others just because they draw their swords with three fingers*. However, if you surrender now, I can give you a fair duel in the prison camp."

Xiao Mu said behind Roger: "Idiot! It's war now. If you don't surrender, go to hell!"

Miguel seemed to be greatly insulted. He raised his sword and rushed towards Roger with a roar. In this action, he gathered all the strength of his body. When he rushed towards Roger, he threw the sword in his hand. Roger's sword flew into the air and was cut directly from Miguel's shoulder, all the way to his chest.

But the sword that flew out was filled with fighting spirit and plunged into a crystal truck transporting a pneumatic cannon not far away. The long sword hit a 120mm pneumatic cannon. The fighting spirit attached to the sword detonated the cannonballs carried in the car, directly blowing up the entire crystal car and pneumatic cannon into a ball of fire, and also exploded a dozen soldiers around it. Fly out.

"This... this is the honor of the Black Guard: even if you die... bite the enemy." Miguel hissed, and then he closed his eyes and died with a satisfied smile on his face.

"Didn't you say that the Black Guards are all criminals and villains?" Xiao Mu asked, "This is not the same as the behavior of human villains I know."

Roger pulled out the Thunder Mark Sword from Miguel's body, "Maybe it's because they don't have any honor anymore, so they value the remaining honor so much."

At the same time, the low- and middle-level warriors surrounded by three melee platoons were in a desperate situation. The low-level warriors were almost vulnerable in front of the combat team. Except for the three who surrendered, they were quickly killed. Although the middle-level warriors could cause casualties to the Chinese, they could not withstand the siege of many people and fell one after another. Just like the drowning person struggling in the sea, he will eventually face the swallowing of the sea.

Garriott, who was fighting with Master Gabriel, suddenly found that the surroundings had become quiet. His eyes swept across the battlefield. He didn't know when he was the only one fighting. Before he rushed out, he never thought that he would be defeated so badly. Several scales on his body had been chopped off by Gabriel, and these places became his fatal weaknesses. He knew that if he continued like this, he would be the next to fall.

He used his arm to block the opponent's long sword and spit out a breath again. Then he ran back without looking back. Gabriel dodged his breath and was about to fly over to chase him, but he saw him activate his teleportation ring and disappear on the battlefield.

*Drawing the sword three fingers is a duel custom in the Empire. Draw your sword three fingers wide, that is, 6-8 cm. If the opponent accepts the challenge, he will do the same. If you ignore it, it will be a very shameful act in the Empire that values ​​honor. It is very similar to the nobles on Earth throwing gloves to each other.
