Chapter 64 : The Knight's Charge
When I heard this news, my heart sank, what I had been worrying about had finally happened.
I had been considering that although the Haitian Society had built a formation on the ground, the sky still couldn't be blocked off, so in case the person monitoring the sky deserted and didn't see it, wouldn't Wells have escaped? However, how could the Haitian Society make such a mistake?
At this moment, hundreds of players with flying pets rose into the air, the huge flying pets spread their wings at the same time, the powerful air currents swept many unsuspecting players to the ground.
Nowadays, most players above 30 in the game were equipped with mounts, and there were more and more players with mounted pets, however, seeing hundreds of flying mounted pets at the same time was still very surprising.
Most of the players who came to the Lost Village this time were somewhat famous in the villages, towns and cities, and they wouldn't have come to do this wanted quest without special strength. Therefore, having several hundred flying pets was really normal.
On the ground, thousands of players called out to their friends, interspersed with the sounds of orders from the leaders of some forces, as well as the various sounds of mounts being summoned. Eventually, a huge stream of people formed and darted towards the small red dot that appeared in the distance. The earth was shaken by the sound of hooves and various footsteps.
At the same time, more than three thousand people simultaneously lit up their weapons and changed into their best equipment, and Marshall was illuminated by the glow of countless equipment that exceeded the gold level for a split second.
The phoenix in the distance also seemed to be frightened by the battle in front of them, and began to turn, and the players immediately chased them down.
I frowned, having a bad feeling. Turning my head to look at the players around me, in a short while, they had already chased down more than 80% of them.
However, none of the hundred or so members of Ethan's mercenary group had left.
Ethan was carefully questioning the mercenary scout who came back from the resurrection point, he was the one who was attacked by the phoenix in the periphery and was hung back.
I walked over with big strides, "Head Ethan, was he only attacked by the phoenix and didn't see Wells?"
Ethan's body shook and stared at me for a long time, "Not bad!"
The Demon Warrior at the side exclaimed, "Man, I'll immediately use to find the Chairman and the others! They must be chasing after the Phoenix as well!"
As veteran players who had fought hundreds of battles, we all made the judgement that the phoenix was just a tool to lure away the players, and that Wells had probably already taken the opportunity of the Sea and Sky Club being transferred away by the phoenix to break the formation.
Wells' purpose was obviously still in the Lost Village!
My heart tensed up again, and I ran to the sound transmission platform to send a message to those two officers in Sunset City, only to have the system prompt, "The line is busy."
God knows how many people are sending them fake messages again, I even suspect that among those sending messages, there are Wells' accomplices.
It's better to rely on myself, now that the two magic pillars can only protect three-quarters of the house, I start building a third one.
This time, putting aside the distractions around me, I finally used "Combine Skills with Heart" and put "Acceleration" and "Inspiration" in the support column, "Divine Blessing". An hour later, a new water and earth magic pillar was built. The attack range is sixteen zhang, the interval time is 1.8 seconds, and the killing power is 800. the attack speed is even faster than the one built by master, ha, I'm really a genius!
It was also at this time that a figure appeared in the distant place line, the players didn't notice it, however, I was awakened by a familiar aura and looked back.
It was hard to make out the figure with my eyesight, but the players around me also began to follow my gaze one after another. Finally, when the silhouette approached a hundred feet away, two archers with superb eyesight let out wild cries at the same time, "It's Wells, it's Wells coming!"
Almost at the same time there was a sound of metal clashing, more than a hundred mercenaries of Ethan's mercenary group simultaneously touched out their combat weapons.
Ethan let out a long whistle, "K12-1 square, assemble!"
"K" stood for 11 people in horizontal rows, 12 meant 12 people in vertical rows, and -1 indicated the troop arrangement scheme.
The square formation was formed instantly, and on the outermost layer, were knights ready to charge, in all four directions, to prevent Wells from turning to the flanks. On the second tier, were warriors waiting for a second charge, on the third tier were archers, on the fourth tier mages, and on the fifth tier, priests and a monk. In the central tiers, there were a dozen melee players of other professions interspersed, preventing Wells from entering the inner tiers.
In the centre of the square formation, a warrior held a large flag with a gold border and blue background, which was the military flag of the mercenary corps, depicting white clouds and a mighty golden dragon. The light emitted from the military flag enveloped the entire mercenary corps, clearly enhancing the attributes of the entire square formation.
With the density of this square formation, Wells would never be able to use spatial transfer to enter it, and it looked, truly, flawless. And the moment the square formation took shape, an intense aura had risen straight into the sky, Ethan, truly living up to his name!
In the sky, there were also six mercenary corps members hovering. At the back of the square formation, Ethan was marching slowly with a fourteen or fifteen year old teenager.
There were still five to six hundred players remaining in the village, and by now, many of them had already mounted their horses to catch up with their companions who had been transferred by the Phoenix, while some others, followed behind the mercenary group to see what was going on.
Bill and Erin were also startled and ran out to see. Bill casually handed me and Erin something: "Erin, big brother, let's use this."
I looked down and sweated furiously, "Binoculars!"
It turned out that Bill had actually assembled a couple of binoculars after making himself glasses with the lenses I provided. What genius, why didn't I think of that, convinced.
In the binoculars, one could clearly see that Wells' face was still so cold, without any expression, and without stopping, he continued to meet the mercenary group.
Just before the two sides approached, a loud shout rang out from the nearby hill, "Wells! Fight me first!"
A golden light flashed from the hill, and a silhouette cut through like lightning, behind the silhouette was a string of mangled images left behind after moving at high speed.
It was Ranks, I secretly screamed in pity, if he didn't yell out first, the possibility of success was much higher. However, the distance between only 20 feet, with Lanks "supersonic speed" charge, Wells will certainly not be able to chant the space transfer But Wells' intuition is obviously too strong, as if he fully expected someone on the hill.
At the same time Lanx appeared from the hill, Wells had already sent out fireballs, to Lanx rushed to his eyes, just as the second fireball was sent out, turning Lanx with his horse into white light.
Lanx's gun also just pierced into Wells, but missed the vitals, and the power hadn't been used up yet, only dealing over 100 points of damage. But seeing Wells drop blood, the mercenaries in the distance were instantly demoralised and chanted in unison, "Ethan! Ethan!"
Ranks emerged from the resurrection point, huffing and puffing as he headed out of the village. I really couldn't bear to see him hang dozens of times like Rachel, and hurriedly pulled him back, "Don't be impulsive."
Ranks gave me a hard stare and suddenly grinned, "You think I'm going to take revenge? I've already tried once and know it's not as good as this guy, so why bother trying again? You think I'm an idiot."
I was furious, Lankes said, "The big battle in front of me, can't miss it, the distance is so far, I can't see it, of course I have to go closer."
I beckoned, Bill took out another pair of binoculars, Lankes bulged his big eyes, half a moment before he came back to his senses, and busily took the binoculars to look at the distance with us attentively.
By this time the square was only forty or so feet away from Wells, and at Ethan's command, the eleven knights in the front row gathered their breath at the same time and charged!
The distance was far, the limit of a knight's charge. Charging at such a long distance, not to mention the opponent was Wells, even ordinary mages had time to escape on horseback or send out magic twice, not knowing why Ethan would issue such an order.
Wells coldly looked at the enemy in front of him, first releasing a fire field in front of him, then adding a fire wheel dance to himself, when the knights entered a distance of twenty feet, he released the first sea of fire.
The sea of fire landed on the knights and burned off almost 300 blood, it seemed that Wells' skills were more proficient than before, as long as there was another sea of fire, these level 40 or so knights were going to be at the bottom of their blood count.
However, Wells wouldn't be stupid enough to set another Sea of Fire, he had already started chanting Spatial Shift.
Right at this instant, the 11 knights almost simultaneously leapt up from their horses and landed behind them!
The horses that had lost their weights rose wildly in speed, and before anyone could see clearly, the eleven warhorses had already slammed into Wells at the same time, dazing him!
Although Wells possessed anti-anomaly equipment, although the warhorse was missing its owner and was only relying on inertia to impact, but with the combined force of eleven horses, how could Wells not be dazed. At the same time of dizziness, Wells was knocked away more than ten feet and his blood level was wildly reduced by 735!
A normal mage, level 56 should only have 600+ HP, Wells obviously didn't belong to the normal category, however, it was believed that he wouldn't have much blood left.
The knights were more than twenty feet away from their mounts, it seemed impossible to launch a second attack right away, if only the two knights left behind just now hadn't abandoned their horses.
Ethan obviously didn't expect Wells to actually get hit either, nor did he expect Wells' physical defence and blood level to be that high as well, and must be chagrined right now that he didn't send a few more knights to charge. Luckily, though, he had a follow-up kill move.
The knights didn't pause, five of them suddenly gripped the tip of their comrade's lance, then the other five knights shouted in unison, "Great Windmill!"
The knights' guns flew in a circle, turning two circles in a flash, the knights on the guns let go at the same time, and five silhouettes shot out like arrows off the string!
The five knight lances glittering with white gold light, whistling across the sky, flying over a distance of more than twenty feet, landing just slightly, the three knights who were farther away from Wells turned around and called for their horses, the two knights who flew the closest jumped up and rushed straight towards Wells who was a few feet away.
Knights who lost their horses, much weaker, however, knocked out a few dozen points of Wells' blood is still possible, stunned state, even blood pills can not be eaten, Wells is absolutely difficult to escape this blow!
Such a brilliant design, such a tacit co-ordination, and the reaction of each knight, all of them were so perfect, the prepared Ethan mercenary group was really powerful! If Wells could survive like this, there would be no justice.
However, it seems that "heavenly justice" really doesn't apply to Wells.
Just when the knight's gun was about to touch Wells' body, there seemed to be a flash of purple light, and then, the two knights' guns suddenly stabbed to the side, and then, they were staring blankly at each other.
The purple light was especially clear in the looking glass, and my heart sank downwards. Could it be that Wells was really an intelligent programme? Purple light represented spirit magic in various games, but to be able to make it in a dazed state and without chanting, such magic, I had only seen when facing Silas and the Bullhead God.
If that's true, then how could Wells be defeated? And going by what happened last time with the Purple Light Rain, it's very likely that he (it) is still protected by the game's mainframe!
I felt sadness for the Ethan Mercenaries, injustice for the players of the Eagle Slaughter Cult, and, at the same time, fear for the imminent destruction of the Lost Village!
